Fix housing problems now, HUD tells Warm Springs

As jail vote nears, need is still there, sheriff says

Heroin in Central Oregon

Bond would more than double capacity of Deschutes County jail, built in 1994

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — The Warm Springs Housing Authority has just over two weeks to prove that it’s taking real steps to fix a range of problems or face sanctions — including the potential loss of $1.4 million each year — by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department.

That’s according to a “letter of warning” HUD sent to the housing authority, dated March 26, which The Bulletin obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request last week. The warning comes after a series of federal audits concluded that the housing authority had ignored crime, poor housing conditions and other problems flagged by federal investigators as far back as 2003, when government watchdogs found rampant misuse of federal funds by the housing authority.

The same letter noted that the tribes failed to make progress on eight of 10 major violations of federal regulations flagged in a January 2009 monitoring report.

The report, conducted every five to six years, is part of the federal oversight of a $1.4 million annual Indian Housing Block Grant, which is intended to pay for houses and apartments for lowincome residents of the Warm Springs Reservation.

The letter also contradicts statements by Tribal SecretaryTreasurer Charles “Jody” Calica and other tribal officials, who told The Bulletin they had made major progress toward cleaning up the housing authority’s finances and the condition of housing over the past year.

Calica couldn’t be reached for comment on his cell phone or at his office on Thursday or Friday.

Neither housing authority Acting Executive Director Scott Moses, nor Planning Department Director Louis Pitt returned messages on Friday.

Most of the heroin that ends up in Central Oregon comes from Mexico, often through Portland or other cities in the Willamette Valley. Because the drug isn’t as easy to get on this side of the mountains, dealers often head east to make a big profit, the detective said.

“The guy that bought an ounce in Portland could easily come over here and triple his money,” he said.

Users often purchase heroin in small quantities, usually by the tenth of a gram. In Central Oregon, a gram of heroin costs about $250, while the same amount of meth or cocaine is closer to $100.

Though the recession has slowed the once-frantic pace of growth in Deschutes County, Sheriff Larry Blanton says it hasn’t changed the county’s need for a bigger jail.

Next month, voters will be able to weigh in on a $44 million bond that would more than double the capacity of the current 228bed Deschutes County jail. If approved, property owners’ taxes would go up by 18 cents per $1,000 in assessed value, or about $36 for a home with an assessed value of $200,000.

Planning for a jail expansion began about five years ago, when the county hired a consulting firm to analyze the local • If you missed it: population, crime trends, police 5 admitted staffing levels and other issues, and to figure out what kind of a long shots for jail it would need in the future.

At Tennessee home, reminders of a boy returned to Russia

By Damien Cave New York Times News Service

SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. — The toys in the backyard suggest generous parenting: a swing set, its green paint shiny and new; a red tetherball covered in cherry-red glitter; even a trampoline.

They sit quiet now behind the simple home where 7-year-old Justin Hansen used to live before being sent back to his native Russia alone, with a note from his adoptive parents describing him as troubled. They are the tiniest of clues in an odd family mystery that has turned into an international dispute, with accusations of abuse tossed across thousands of miles.

No one here seems to have expected such a thing.

Last year, the number of deaths related to cocaine, methamphetamine or a combination of drugs all dropped, but heroin deaths across the state increased by 7 percent to the highest number in nearly a decade.

In Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties, the overall number of drug-related deaths was down last year, and there was one heroin-related death in 2009, the same as the year before. But with more heroin showing up on the street, officials said it’s only a matter of time before the local death toll starts to rise.

The Mine Safety and Health Administration was created almost 35 years ago, after deadly explosions at a Kentucky mine, with a mission to conduct more inspections of the nation’s mines and enforce safety standards more strictly.

It was strengthened four years ago, after more disasters.

But it remains fundamentally weak in several areas, and does not always use the powers it has.

The agency can seek to close mines that it deems unsafe and to close repeat offenders, but it rarely does so. The fines it levies are relatively small, and many go uncollected for years. The agency lacks subpoena power, a basic investigatory tool.

Mine Safety and Health Administration investigators are not technically law enforcement officers, like those at other agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.

Firefighters skirt some of the wreckage at the crash site where Polish President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and some of the country’s most prominent military and civilian leaders died Saturday near Smolensk in western Russia.

Plane crash in Russia kills Polish president

By Nicholas Kulish, Ellen Barry and Michal Piotrowski New York Times News Service

WARSAW — A plane carrying the Polish president and dozens of the country’s top political and military leaders to the site of a Soviet massacre of Polish officers in World War II crashed in western Russia on Saturday, killing everyone on board.

President Lech Kaczynski’s plane tried to land in a thick fog, missing the runway and snagging treetops about a half mile from the airport in Smolensk, scattering chunks of fuselage across a bare forest.

The crash came as a stunning blow to Poland, wiping out a large portion of the country’s leadership in one fiery explosion.

And in a chilling twist, it happened at the moment that Russia and Poland were beginning to come to terms with the killing of more than 20,000 members of Poland’s elite officer corps in the same place 70 years ago.

“It is a damned place,” former President Aleksander Kwasniewski told TVN24. “It sends shivers down my spine.

“This is a wound which will be very difficult to heal,” he said.

A top Russian military official said air traffic controllers at the Smolensk airport had several times ordered the crew of the plane not to land, warned that it was descending below the glide path, and recommended it reroute to another airport.

“Nevertheless, the crew continued the descent,” said Lt. Gen. Aleksandr Alyoshin, the first deputy chief of the Russian air force staff. “Unfortunately, the result was tragic.”

Russian emergency officials said 97 people were killed. They included Poland’s deputy foreign minister and a dozen members of parliament, the chiefs of the army and the navy, and the president of the national bank.

They included Anna Walentynowicz, 80, the former dock worker whose firing in 1980 set off the Solidarity strike that ultimately overthrew Polish Communism, as well as relatives of victims of the massacre that they were on their way to commemorate.

Poles united in their grief in a way that recalled the death of the Polish pope, John Paul II, five years ago. Thousands massed outside the Presidential Palace, laying flowers and lighting candles.

Magda Niemczyk, a 24-yearold student, held a single tulip.

“I wanted to be together with the other Polish people,” she said.

“It’s a national tragedy,” said Ryszard Figurski, 70, a retired telecommunications worker.

“Apart from their official positions, it is also simply the loss of so many lives.”

Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, one of the highestranking Polish leaders not on board the plane, told Radio Zet in Poland that he was the one to inform Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who “was in tears when he heard about the catastrophe.”

The crash happened days after Prime Minister Vladimir

Petro Zadorozhnyy / The Associated Press

People cry Saturday in front of the Polish Embassy in Lviv, Western Ukraine. The crash that killed Poland’s president came as he traveled to a ceremony commemorating the Katyn Woods massacre, where 22,000 Polish officers were killed by Soviet secret police in 1940.

Putin became the first Russian leader to join Polish officials in commemorating the 1940 massacre at Katyn Woods, a wound that has festered between the two countries for decades and to Poles was a symbol of Russian domination.

Former President Lech Walesa, who presided over Poland’s transition from Communism, called the crash “the second disaster after Katyn.”

“They wanted to cut off our head there, and here the flower

of our nation has also perished,” he said.

The repercussions on Poland’s coming presidential elections were far from clear. The Law and Justice Party lost numerous important leaders in addition to the president, including its parliamentary leader.

Under Poland’s Constitution, the leader of the lower house of parliament, now acting president, has 14 days to announce new elections, which must then take place within 60 days.

BERLIN — World leaders expressed sadness on Saturday after an airplane crash in Russia killed Poland President Lech Kaczynski and some of his country’s leading military, banking and foreign policy experts.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was one of the first to offer condolences and immediately called for an investigation into the cause of the crash, which occurred in dense fog close to Smolensk and not far from the Katyn Woods, where Kaczynski was due to commemorate the 1940 massacre of thousands of Polish officers and top civil servants by Joseph Stalin’s secret police.

“With deep and sad feelings we express our sympathy, as do all Russian people,” Medvedev said.

The tributes were particularly numerous and heartfelt from Germany, which has sought a stable and warm relationship with Poland despite centuries of mistrust, war and occupation.

“I am so deeply upset by the accident and the death of the Polish president,” Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel said.

She said she had sent a letter of condolence to Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister.

“Germany stands by your side in this difficult moment,” Merkel added.

A U.S. State Department spokesman, P.J. Crowley, called the deaths a “terrible tragedy for Poland.”

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the whole world would be affected by the tragedy. “We know the hardships which Poland has endured,” Brown said in a statement. He also praised Kaczynski’s unswerving support for a free and independent Poland. Even though Kaczynski was often a difficult partner for Germany, Merkel made it one of her foreign policy priorities to improve relations with Poland once her conservative Christian Democrats were elected into power during the fall of 2005.

Her predecessor, the Social Democrat Gerhard Schroder, had upset the country by forging a special relationship with the Kremlin.

Once in power, Merkel worked hard to improve relations with President Kaczynski and his identical twin brother, Jaroslaw, who was also swept into power as prime minister of the Law and Justice conservative-nationalist party in late 2005 at the time of his brother’s election.

STUNNING ARTISTIC DOWNTOWN HOME

Embattled pope offers praise for a controversial predecessor

By Rachel Donadio New York Times News Service

ROME — As the Roman Catholic Church continued to battle a sexual abuse crisis, Pope Benedict XVI spent Friday evening watching a movie. And not just any movie: a biopic about wartime Pope Pius XII, one of the most contentious figures to haunt his 5-year-old papacy.

Many Italian Jews say Pius did not do enough to help stop the deportation of Jews during the Holocaust. Benedict has said that Pius worked “secretly and silently” to help save Jews.

In an official statement released by the Vatican on Saturday, Benedict praised the movie, “Under the Roman Sky,” as “useful and stimulating.” He said it could help younger generations understand a chapter of history they had not witnessed, adding that Pius “knew how to orient the church toward the horizon of the third millennium.”

The screening, at the pope’s summer residence, Castel Gandolfo, outside Rome, where Benedict has been resting since Easter, comes as the Vatican continues to respond to criticism that it did not act swiftly to remove priests who were pedophiles from its ranks.

But the screening also comes amid a complex subplot in the sexual abuse crisis in which defenders of Benedict have sought to associate him with Pius and have likened criticism of the Vatican’s handling of the sexual abuse crisis to anti-Semitism.

In an interview last week, the dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, denounced what he called “unjust attacks” on Benedict and compared criticism of the church for its handling of sexual abuse to “the offensive against Pius XII for his actions during the last World War.” According to Italian news reports, the Pius XII biopic depicts him as working tirelessly to urge Italian Catholic institutions to help hide and save Italian Jews during the Holocaust.

GOP weighs political price of a Supreme Court fight

By Peter Baker and Carl Hulse New York Times News Service

By Nelson D. Schwartz Even as prospects for the American economy brighten, consumers are about to face a new financial burden: a sustained period of rising interest rates.

That, economists say, is the inevitable outcome of the nation’s ballooning debt and the renewed prospect of inflation as the economy recovers from the depths of the recent recession.

The shift is sure to come as a shock to consumers whose spending habits were shaped by a historic 30-year decline in the cost of borrowing.

“Americans have assumed the roller coaster goes one way,” said Bill Gross, whose investment firm, Pimco, has taken part in a broad sell-off of government debt, which has pushed up interest rates. “It’s been a great thrill as rates descended, but now we face an extended climb.”

The impact of higher rates is likely to be felt first in the housing market, which has only recently begun to rebound from a deep slump. The rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage has risen half a point since December, hitting 5.31 last week, the highest level since last summer.

Along with the sell-off in bonds, the Federal Reserve has halted its emergency $1.25 trillion program to buy mortgage debt, placing even more upward pressure on rates.

Each 1 percent increase in rates adds as much as 19 percent to the total cost of a home, according to Mayer.

The Mortgage Bankers Association expects the rise to continue, with the 30-year mortgage rate going to 5.5 percent by late summer and as high as 6 percent by the end of the year.

Another area in which higher rates are likely to affect consumers is credit card use. And last week, the Federal Reserve reported that the average interest rate on credit cards reached 14.26 percent in February, the highest since 2001. That is up from 12.03 percent when rates bottomed in the fourth quarter of 2008 — a jump that amounts to about $200 a year in additional interest payments for the typical American household.

Washington, too, is expecting to have to pay more to borrow the money it needs for programs. The Office of Management and Budget expects the rate on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note to remain close to 3.9 percent for the rest of the year, but then rise to 4.5 percent in 2011 and 5 percent in 2012.

Companies restoring 401(k) contributions The Minnesota Opera’s $10 million annual budget got hammered during the low notes of the recession.

That forced it to do some painful cost-cutting last year — namely, suspending a 3 percent contribution to employee retirement plans regardless of whether workers put money in.

Now, starting in January, the opera plans to begin contributing 1.5 percent with the hopes of restoring the full 3 percent by July 2011.

The opera is part of a wave of firms restoring contributions to employee retirement plans after suspending them in the wake of the crisis, a sign of growing confidence in the country’s economic recovery.

In a recent study, Fidelity Investments, the nation’s largest provider of workplace retirement plans, said about 8 percent of its clients — about 300 companies — had suspended or reduced contributions to employees’ 401(k) plans as of July. But the survey found that 44 percent have since reinstated the benefit or plan to do so over the next year.

Ugandan soldiers on patrol in the Congo look for tracks of the Lord’s Resistance Army in late March 2010. Former rebels of the LRA have now been given the mission to hunt down their onetime boss Joseph Kony and his remaining forces.

Uganda enlists ex-rebel forces to end a war

By Jeffrey Gettleman New York Times News Service

OBO, Central African Republic — The night is inky, the helicopters are late and Cmdr.

Patrick Opiyo Makasi sits near a dying cooking fire on a remote army base, spinning his thoughts into the darkness.

“It was either them or me,” Makasi said of the countless people he has killed. “Them or me.”

The Lord’s Resistance Army, a notoriously brutal rebel group, snatched him from a riverbank when he was 12 years old, more than 20 years ago, and trained him to burn, pillage and slaughter. His name, Makasi, means scissors in Kiswahili, and fellow soldiers said he earned it by shearing off ears and lips.

But now he has a new mission: hunting down his former boss.

In an unorthodox strategy that could help end this seemingly pointless war, the Ugandan army is deploying special squads of experienced killers to track down the LRA’s leader, Joseph Kony, one of the most wanted men in Africa, who has been on the run for more than 20 years.

These soldiers, like Makasi,

are former LRA fighters themselves, and just about all of them were abducted as children.

They recently surrendered and are now wading through black rivers and head-high elephant grass across three of the most troubled countries in the world — the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan — where the last remnants of the LRA are believed to be hiding. They say they know all of Kony’s tricks.

Some critics may not think this wise, putting so much trust in men whose moral compass had been turned upside down for so long.

But the Ugandan government is desperate to finish this conflict, which has raged for more than two decades and killed thousands. The government’s policy is to grant amnesty to all LRA fighters except the top three, who have been indicted by the International Criminal Court: Kony; Okot Odhiambo, his deputy; and Dominic Ongwen, another commander who is widely believed to have planned a massacre in Congo in December in which hundreds of civilians were bludgeoned to death.

W B Thai protesters shun talks after violence

Hillary Clinton calls Kyrgyzstan’s leader

BANGKOK — Anti-government protesters said early today they would not negotiate an end to violence in the Thai capital after savage clashes between activists and soldiers that killed at least 18 people and injured hundreds.

Thousands of “Red Shirt” protesters swarmed back into an area that had briefly been taken by government forces Saturday night. Bullet casings, rocks and pools of blood littered the streets as protesters showed off a pile of weapons captured from the troops, including rifles and heavy caliber machine-gun rounds.

“There is no more negotiation.

Red Shirts will never negotiate with murderers,” a key protest leader, Jatuporn Prompan, announced from a makeshift stage.

“Although the road is rough and full of obstacles, it’s our duty to honor the dead by bringing democracy to this country.”

The United States on Saturday made its first high-level contact with the interim government of Kyrgyzstan, which took control on the heels of protesters storming the presidential building earlier in the week.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the transitional leader, Roza Otunbayeva, in Bishkek, the capital, late in the evening Saturday, according to Otunbayeva’s chief of staff.

The new government here also has been moving quickly to solidify its relations with Russia. About an hour before Clinton called, the prime minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin, put in a second courtesy call since the government was overthrown on Wednesday.

Any eclipsing of American influence here by a quick Russian embrace of the new government could prove troublesome for the United States’ military operations in Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON — The retirement of Justice John Paul Stevens presents a test for Republicans as much as it does for President Barack Obama as they weigh how much they want to wage a high-profile battle in the months before crucial midterm elections.

In the aftermath of the health care debate, some Republican leaders said they were reluctant to give Democrats ammunition to portray them as obstructionists. But they also are wary of alienating their base.

As they balance these competing imperatives, Republicans said they planned to move deliberately at first and avoid declarations that could box them in. Republicans said they did not necessarily want a fight for the sake of a fight, and they left open the possibility that Obama might pick someone they could support.

“We need to do our due diligence, and we need to probably bend over backwards both in appearance and in reality to give the nominee a fair process,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.

Likewise, some conservatives who led the fight against Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation last year said they should learn from mistakes made then.

“We will all be laughed at — including laughed at by Republican senators — by raising the war cries too loud and too early, when in fact the senators will not deliver what we are promising,” said Manuel Miranda of the Third Branch

Network, who organizes regular conference calls of like-minded conservatives about judicial nominations. Instead, he said, conservatives should take a more “modest” and “measured” approach at first.

Obama appears to be leaning toward choices intended to avoid provoking Republicans. Still, any Supreme Court vacancy energizes activists on both sides.

Republicans said they saw little prospect of a filibuster unless they could make the case that the nominee was far out of the mainstream.

A filibuster would be hard to justify, they said, after Republicans assailed Democrats for blocking votes on President George W. Bush’s judicial nominees.

But they noted that Obama voted as a senator to filibuster Bush’s nomination of Justice Samuel Alito, so they could rationalize one if necessary. “In truly extraordinary cases, I reserve the prerogative to vote no on confirmation or even to vote to deny an up-or-down vote,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.

By all accounts, the three frontrunners are Solicitor General Elena Kagan and two appeals court judges, Diane Wood of Chicago and Merrick Garland of Washing-

ton. The main choices of liberals are not in the top tier.

Kagan, considered by some Democrats as the most likely candidate, could be hard for Republicans to block given her lack of a judicial paper trail and her support from conservatives who appreciated her opening the doors to them when she was dean of the Harvard Law School.

Garland, who is well known and well regarded in Washington’s political-legal circles, is widely seen

by Republicans and Democrats as the safest choice, most likely to draw 85 votes. Wood, who is less known in Washington, would be the favorite of liberals among the three and has written decisions on abortion and religion that would generate more fire from the right.

Mine Continued from A1 And its criminal sanctions are weak, the result of compromises over the 1977 Mine Act that created the agency.

Falsifying records is a felony, for example, while deliberate violations of safety standards that may lead to deaths are misdemeanors.

After an explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine in Montcoal, W.Va., killed 29 miners last Monday — including four whose bodies were discovered late Friday — in the nation’s worst mining disaster in a quarter century, evidence quickly surfaced that the mine had been cited for hundreds of violations over the last year, including many serious ones.

Federal mining officials said Friday that they believed the mine’s safety record was poor enough to declare that it had a “pattern of violations,” which would have allowed them to step up oversight and to shut the mine down every time a significant violation was found.

‘A distant second’ But their hands were tied, they said, because Upper Big Branch, like many mines, had contested many of its violations — a tactic that helps mine owners fend off fines and delay added scrutiny.

The total fines the Massey Energy Co., which owns the Upper Big Branch mine, paid for infractions there in the last year, only $168,393 in all, is just the latest example of what former regulators, inspectors and miners say is an agency that lacks muscle — a testament to the industry’s political clout, and the practical limits of enforcement.

Fatalities among miners have steadily dropped over the years. But inspectors, regulators and miners said the deaths at Upper Big Branch showed that enforcement of safety laws remained weak.

“Every place I’ve ever worked, safety has been a distant second to production,” said Billy Brannon, 30, from Harlan, Ky., who has been a miner for nine years. “If you take 30 minutes out of the day doing it right, that takes a lot out of the tonnage of the mine.”

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who oversees the mine safety agency, said in an interview that she was concerned about weaknesses in its oversight powers.

“We know that there are some areas of the law that probably could be strengthened, and so we’re going to be reviewing those areas — for example, looking at powers to subpoena,” she said. “We don’t have the authority to shut down a mine as easily and as quickly as the public might think, and I think those are the loopholes that we want to close.”

In the Bush administration, a number of officials from the mining industry were appointed to senior positions at the mine safety agency. The agency made a priority of winning voluntary compliance from the industry, which prompted critics to charge that they were not taking enforcement seriously enough.

After a series of deadly fires in 2006, Congress passed a tougher mining law, and the agency stiffened its fines and began using some powers more aggressively. When President Barack Obama took office, he named Joseph Main, a former safety official with the United Mine Workers of America, to lead the agency. Last year, mine experts said, there seemed to be greater enforcement and more citations.

But even the new fines remain so low that they are mere rounding errors on the bottom lines of the big energy companies that own mines. And the industry has hobbled enforcement by challenging so many violations.

Since 2005, the number of cases pending appeal before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission, which reviews challenges, has jumped to 16,000, from 1,500.

Federal officials estimated that the backlog of challenged cases was holding up enforcement actions against 48 mines, which employ about 6,000 miners nationwide, including Upper Big Branch.

An analysis of federal records by The New York Times shows that of the $123.4 million in major fines levied against the industry by the agency since 2005, only 8 percent has been collected — $10.2 million — partly because mine owners began challenging fines more routinely when the agency

threatened to step up enforcement of repeat offenders.

The cause of the explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine is still under investigation.

Massey defended its safety record last week, even as federal officials said that the mine’s record of some of the most serious violations was well above the national average. And the industry is warning against a rush to impose tougher enforcement.

Bruce Watzman, senior vice president of the National Mining Association, the industry’s main lobbying group, said the industry was deeply committed to worker safety, estimating that it had spent more than $800 million since 2006 to enhance safety measures nationwide. He cautioned against quick adoption of new regulations, which might add cost, without addressing what actually caused the explosion at Upper Big Branch.

“It is understandable there is additional scrutiny and that some will call for immediate action,” Watzman said. “But we need good, complete answers as to what happened. And those are not necessarily quick answers.”

In 2007, the year after a series of fatal accidents that were attributed in part to the failures of seals designed to keep explosive methane gas from seeping between work areas in the mines, federal officials considered imposing a rule requiring mine owners to replace or retrofit all seals, to better protect the estimated 30,000 miners nationwide.

But at a hearing that year, Bill Caylor, then president of the Kentucky Coal Association, accused the government of reacting hysterically to the accidents.

“Did you know that 750 people die each year in the U.S. from eating bad or ruined potato salad?” he told federal regulators. “Do you think we could get some new laws put on the books to control these deaths?”

He urged regulators to ignore pleas from the widows of victims who were pressing them to mandate that new seals be installed in mines nationwide.

“The cost of installing the new approved seals will put a lot of smaller operators out of business,” he told regulators, urging them to require that the new seals only needed to be used when old ones were replaced.

When the final rule came out in 2008, the regulators sided with Caylor.

Lobbying in D.C. Spending by the coal industry in Washington has surged in recent years, with the tab for its more than 100 lobbyists — almost all representing mine owners — jumping to $14 million, from less than $2.5 million in 2003.

Much of that is driven by industry opposition to new restrictions that could be imposed as part of an effort to combat climate change. But industry lobbyists have also looked for ways to limit or block new safety measures, like legislation adopted by the House in 2008 that would add new safety provisions, like tougher standards to contain explosions or fires inside mines.

The National Mining Association warned that the proposed law would “choke off investment in domestic mineral operations, causing whole industries and thousands of highpaying jobs to move offshore.”

The legislation, which also would have given subpoena power to accident investigators, died in the Senate.

Main, the assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health, said he had planned, before the Upper Big Branch explosion, to announce initiatives to expedite the review of challenges made by companies with high numbers of serious violations.

Last Monday morning, a federal inspector visited the Upper Big Branch mine. He looked over its books, “discussed black lung and handed out stickers,” according to handwritten notes.

He made an “imminent danger” run in the mine, checked for dust collection and inspected the toilet, the notes say. He checked the conveyer belt and the roof, and took air readings in two locations that showed no methane.

The inspector then issued two citations, for an improperly insulated spliced electrical cable, and for the lack of an updated map of escape routes in one section of the mine. Then he left.

That afternoon, the mine blew up.

In West Virginia mine, ‘Old Man Crew’ held tight

By David A. Fahrenthold The Washington Post

MONTCOAL, W.Va. — Their trip started at least 40 minutes from daylight.

The guys known as the “Old Man Crew” had finished their shift digging coal out of Upper Big Branch mine. They walked through its lattice of tunnels to a mantrip, an open-sided cart that runs back to the surface on rails.

There were nine of them in the cart, rolling through semi-darkness. “Head” was the crew boss, whom they ribbed about his giant, rectangular noggin. “Pee Wee” was the new grandfather. Benny was a recovering drinker who beat the bottle with the help of Jesus and a Bowflex machine.

They were smudge-faced miners with decades of experience doing jobs better suited for their sons and nephews. They had become friends in other coal mines, and some had worked together for more than 10 years. Now they worked here, at a high-earning Massey Energy mine.

All had lived the old story of West Virginia’s Coal River Valley.

A stint in the military for some, a job at an auto garage or a parts store for others. Then each in his own time accepted — often embraced — a life underground.

A few minutes after 3 p.m. last Monday, West Virginia officials say, their cart was nearing a tunnel called 66 Crosscut.

Less than 10 minutes from daylight.

Making a crew The story of the Old Man Crew began long before last week, when an explosion deep inside the mine killed 29 men.

It was sometime around 1994, relatives said, when Benny Willingham and Carl Acord were assigned to the same crew in another mine. They liked each other and stuck together.

Willingham — at 61, old even by their standards — was sometimes teased as “Dad.” He went into the mines 32 years ago after serving in the Air Force. A former wild man with a handlebar moustache, he found religion 19 years ago, his family said.

“I guess the Holy Ghost just hit him,” said his daughter, Michelle McKinney. Willingham channeled the energy he used to spend partying into church and his Bowflex and weightlifting equipment.

“Strong as a mule,” his son-in-law said.

Willingham was five weeks from retirement, close enough to have plans. He would take a Virgin Islands cruise with his wife and attend more of his grandson’s baseball games.

Acord, a big man, was Pee Wee. He started in mining the day after he turned 18. He was 52 now, with two new grandsons, Chase and Cameron, under a year old.

About 10 years go, the crew recruited a new member from the latest class of “red hats,” Massey trainees marked by red hard hats.

Robert Clark, 41, a man handy enough to rebuild cars and build a grandfather clock, had come to the mines in his 30s.

“He was working as a mechanic at AAA Transmission up in Beckley, and he just looked up at me one day, says, ‘Mom, this ain’t no future,’” said Linda Clark. “I really didn’t want him to go into the mines, but ... that’s where the money is at in West Virginia.”

After he started at the mine, he took in a video camera so his mother could see what he did, running the mining machine.

The Old Men liked his skills, she said. He liked their style.

William Lynch, 59, had worked with the crew for more than a decade, and in mines since he was 23. He wanted to be a teacher, his daughter said, but the mines paid better. Sometimes, he tried to do both, teaching during the day and working the late-night “Hoot Owl” shift at the mine.

Steven Harrah left a job at an auto-parts store for the mines 10 years ago. Even though he was the boss of the crew, they called him “Head” for his gigantic cranium.

The men were high artists of the mine-bathhouse prank: glue on the locker, hair dye in the shampoo, clothes stolen during a shower and left in the parking lot. Once, Clark rubbed his own clothes with ramps, wild onions with a powerful stench, so the rest of the crew would spend the day smelling him.

As other mine crews broke up and re-formed, this one stayed together: Willingham, Acord, Clark, Harrah, Lynch and the others.

“They might not have loved what they did, but they loved what

Back row, left to right: unidentified, Carl “Pee Wee” Acord, George Currence, Benny Willingham and Wayne Fox. Front row, left to right: Tim Blake, William Roosevelt Lynch and James “Woodsie” Woods. Fox and Currence were not at the explosion. Blake and Woods were injured, and the rest were killed.

“They might not have loved being under that ground, but they became a family underground.”

— Betty Harrah, sister of miner Steven “Head” Harrah they were doing” together, said Betty Harrah, Head’s sister. “They might not have loved being under that ground, but they became a family underground.”

Last Monday, the Old Man Crew was working the day shift. To get to a wall of coal in the furthest reaches of the vast mine, other miners say, they probably rode on a mantrip, then walked.

They were working inside one of the most valuable outposts of Massey Energy’s empire: The coal in Upper Big Branch is especially high grade. It was also a mine with a history of safety violations.

Pee Wee told family members at Easter that he worried about the mine’s roof, and was concerned about going to work Monday, The Associated Press reported. But family members say the others

didn’t talk much about concerns like that.

“You’ve got to realize: West Virginia miners don’t talk to their families about the mines,” said Betty Harrah. “They don’t want us to worry.”

‘I felt a breeze’ About 3 p.m., other members of the day shift had left the mine.

Stanley Stewart, coming in for the next shift, was a few hundred yards into the tunnel when the blast happened. “I felt a breeze, like similar to when a thunderstorm comes up,” Stewart said.

“And it started getting stronger.”

Then it became so strong it was carrying things: coal dust, flying buckets, pieces of wood.

Rescuers found the mantrip at

66 Crosscut, about 1,500 feet from daylight. Members of the Old Man Crew were lying on it.

At Willingham’s house in Corinne, W.Va., they were waiting for a phone call. It was Willingham’s custom, when he got out of the mine for the day, to call his wife and say he was okay.

“Monday evening when we didn’t get our telephone call, we knew something was wrong with Benny Willingham,” said his son-inlaw, Danny McKinney.

In the mine parking lot, Stewart tried to give one of them CPR. “I couldn’t become emotional. I felt like somebody else.” An ambulance crew arrived and told the miners that “we couldn’t save them,” Stewart said.

Willingham, Harrah, Acord, Clark and Lynch, the heart of a crew that had been together for years, all died.

Two longtime members of the Old Man Crew survived.

They were not identified by state officials.

Jail Continued from A1 The 2005 study by OmniGroup Inc. and KMD Justice recommended that the county expand the jail by about 500 beds, which was estimated to cost about $80 million. County officials decided residents wouldn’t be willing to spend that much, so they cut the plan in half, Blanton said.

“There’s nothing magical about it,” he said. “I just said, ‘Let’s take half as many beds, half as much money ... and that’s doubling our current jail bed space.’”

Blanton said officials haven’t seen a need to further refine the 250-bed expansion plan, either by adding or subtracting more beds.

The county’s needs The jail was built in 1994 and quickly began to get crowded.

According to the study, the average daily population in the facility was 89 people in 1995 but had jumped to 243 people a decade later.

In 2003, the jail began using a process known as “matrixing,” in which low-risk inmates were released early to make room for new inmates. Between 2003 and 2007, Blanton said the jail let out more than 2,600 inmates.

A review by The Bulletin in 2007 found that many of the people who got out early had been in jail for drug possession, drunken driving and domestic violence, but some had lengthier criminal histories with charges of robbery, identity theft and other crimes.

That year, the jail was releasing inmates for overcrowding at a ratio of 2.6 inmates per 1,000 residents, said Mike Stafford, the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission’s public safety planning coordinator. The state average in 2007 was 4.8 inmates per 1,000 people.

Blanton said he thinks the county will have to start matrixing inmates again if it doesn’t add more beds, though he’s not sure exactly when it would happen.

“Sooner rather than later,” he said. “That is risky business when you’re trying to predict ... my professional opinion right now is it will happen this year or next year, but I hope I’m wrong.”

Though the jail is typically almost full, it can place some inmates in the 90-bed work center that opened in 2008. The facility is only available for male inmates who have already been convicted.

The additional beds gave the county a ratio of 1.9 beds per 1,000 people, close to the statewide average of 1.8 beds per 1,000 people, according to the Oregon Sheriff’s Jail Command Council.

On Friday afternoon, there were 216 inmates in the jail and 25 inmates in the work center.

Of the inmates in the jail, 35 had been sentenced for felony crimes and 23 had been sentenced for misdemeanors, according to Capt. Ruth Jenkin, who oversees the jail. The remaining inmates were awaiting trial for felonies or misdemeanors, or had been sentenced for one crime but were still awaiting trial on another.

Five inmates were awaiting trial for murder or attempted murder, while 18 were charged with Class A felonies, including rape, robbery and child pornography. Another 10 inmates were charged with felony property crimes and 11 with felony drug crimes. A dozen inmates were charged with felony sex crimes or assault, attempted assault and manslaughter.

“Right now, we don’t have your trespassers or your lowlevel misdemeanor offenders in jail,” Blanton said. “We have the

worst of the worst, felons, Class A misdemeanors. ... I think it’s what the public wants.”

Other options Blanton is hoping the public also wants more space for those inmates — and that people agree there are no better options for the county.

He said he often gets questions from people who wonder why the jail doesn’t send inmates to other counties with empty beds in their jails or to available beds in state prisons.

In an April 6 e-mail to Blanton, Oregon Department of Corrections Director Max Williams wrote that it wouldn’t be feasible for Deschutes County to use some of the beds in the currently empty medium-security state prison in Madras. He said that facility has been closed because the state can’t afford to get it up and running, and he’s not sure about the legal side of housing jail inmates in a state facility.

“We would need to seek some legal advice to determine whether DOC by contract, has the statutory authority to supervise offenders that have not been committed to confinement and custody of the Oregon Department of Corrections,” he wrote.

Deschutes County currently has a contract with Jefferson County to use up to 10 beds in its jail.

Counties can send their inmates to other jails around the state, regardless of their distance.

Stafford said inmates who have not yet been sentenced can communicate with judges and attorneys at home by video, but he says shuffling people around to other counties can pose additional problems.

“The issue becomes there, what does it do to the recipient county’s ability to house (its own inmates)?” he said. “At some point, they’re going to end up having to do forced release.”

Gail Meyer, a lobbyist for the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, said moving inmates too far from their attorneys could create a financial hardship for public defenders and could lead to delayed trials.

“These are relationships,” she said. “People wouldn’t want to telecommute with their doctor: A doctor has to put their hands on the body to figure out where the lump is. There’s a rapport and trust you build. ... You just need to have that face-to-face contact.”

Blanton said he doesn’t believe housing inmates in other jails is a good long-term solution, in part because they might not have access to the same programs offered in Deschutes County, like drug and alcohol treatment or GED classes.

Plans for the expanded jail call for more designated space for certain types of inmates. A total of 50 additional beds would be designated for inmates with physical or mental health conditions.

In addition, the expansion would include more space for inmates on suicide watch. Currently, the jail has just one cell for inmates at high risk for suicide, and it is only available for men.

In presentations and meetings with groups around Deschutes County, Blanton says he has not encountered anyone who said something negative about the jail bond. But he acknowledged that several people have warned that the bond faces an uphill battle in a time when many residents are paying closer attention to their pocketbooks.

“People say, ‘This will be a tough sale for you, Larry,’” he said. “But this isn’t about Larry Blanton. This is about public safety, quality of life, keeping those people incarcerated that choose not to follow the law.”

For survivor of a North Korea gulag, mission now is to rattle the regime Kang Chol Hwan is an investigative journalist in South Korea with the North as his beat.

He has also written the first account of the North’s gulag by a survivor.

By John M. Glionna Los Angeles Times

SEOUL, South Korea — As a boy in the North Korean capital, Kang Chol Hwan kept aquariums. In a city of dull grays and shadows, he found solace in his menagerie of colorful fish.

Because his grandfather was an official in the country’s totalitarian regime, Kang always got the most exotic species. In 1977, when Kang was just 9, his grandfather fell out of favor and one day just disappeared. Soon the soldiers came for Kang and the rest of his family: his sister, father, grandmother and uncle.

He begged intelligence officers until they let him put a few prized fish into a plastic bag.

Once within the stark confines of Yodok prison, the most notorious outpost of the North’s gulag system, the fish quickly died.

Kang didn’t fare much better.

For the next decade, his life was hard labor and starvation.

Ravenous and desperate, Kang and the other inmates ate whatever they could find. He caught rats and snakes to supplement his meager daily fare of corn and salt.

He learned to eat live salamanders quickly, to grab the creatures by the tail and swallow them in one gulp before they could discharge their revolting secretions.

One by one, the gruesome details were etched into his mind, details that would later drive his memoir, “The Aquariums of Pyongyang,” the first account of the gulags by someone who had survived them.

Adoption Continued from A1 Shelbyville, an hour south of Nashville, is a quiet, horse-loving town of 20,000 where nearly everyone seems to know a family from church that adopted a little boy or girl from somewhere. Now, an adoptive family not many people knew — Torry Ann Hansen, 33, a registered nurse, and her mother, Nancy — is being visited by the police and Russian reporters in red loafers.

“I didn’t realize it would get to this magnitude,” Harry Bailey, 64, said as he trimmed a damaged tree outside his home two doors down from the Hansens on Saturday. “I guess the Russian people are angry.”

The Russian people are indeed angry — the Education Ministry has suspended the license of the group involved in the Hansens’ adoption, and some officials have called for a halt to all adoptions of Russian children

by Americans. The Hansens, meanwhile have also portrayed themselves as victims. In the note sent back to Russia with the boy, Torry Hansen wrote that he “is violent and has severe psychopathic issues.”

On Friday, Nancy Hansen, in an interview with The Associated Press, said that Justin’s problems included hitting, screaming and spitting at his mother, and threatening to kill family members. The family said it was told the boy was healthy in September when he was brought to Tennessee from the town of Par-

“At Yodok, you couldn’t worry about someone else. The fear of your own death was too strong.”

— Kang Chol Hwan

Yodok shaped Kang as a fighter who would become an investigative journalist covering North Korea, a reporter who each day seeks a rematch with the regime that stole his boyhood.

In prison, he watched friends slowly die of overwork and malnutrition. But what could he do?

“At Yodok, you couldn’t worry about someone else,” he said.

“The fear of your own death was too strong.”

Kang and other inmates were often forced to watch public executions. Before being hanged, the condemned were starved and tortured, their broken bones often breaking through their skin. The teeth of many were

tizansk in Russia’s Far East.

On Saturday, Torry and Nancy Hansen remained silent.

They live side by side here, in modular homes with vinyl siding, connected by a wide white fence. Each had a car in front on Saturday, but neither answered the doors when reporters began knocking at 8:30 a.m.

Messages left for the Hansens’ lawyer were not returned, and the county sheriff’s office said it would have nothing to say until next week.

Their neighbors’ sympathies seemed to be with the boy. Bailey said he used to see him playing outside, riding a bicycle, running around with another boy around the same age. “It was typical kid stuff,” he said. He added that a wave and a quick hello were as close as he got to knowing the family.

Several other neighbors said the Hansens seemed somewhat disconnected from the community. The boy appeared to be home-schooled, and the family did not go to the churches close by. It was hard to relate when so few details were known, they said, but even if Justin threatened violence, as the Hansens claimed, residents said he should have been dealt with here, not shipped home like a faulty product.

Some here said they were glad the Hansens seemed to be outsiders, or at least newer arrivals — it helped some of the longtime residents disconnect from the satellite trucks and reporters, many of them representing foreign media, that had descended

pulled and replaced by a mouthful of stones.

But Kang endured. He learned to steal belongings from corpses he was forced to bury, digging shallow graves in the frozen ground.

In 1987, Kang and his family were suddenly released from the gulag. No explanation was given.

Five years later, Kang defected, bribing a guard so he could cross a river border into China. Once on the other side, he stopped for one final gesture of spite and rebellion: He produced a badge honoring then-North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and smashed it on a rock.

“It was exhilarating,” he said.

“That badge was a symbol of the regime. Destroying it was my way of saying I was leaving forever.”

Once in South Korea, Kang worked menial jobs such as carrying bricks on a construction site, the only labor that his time in North Korea had trained him for.

on their neighborhood.

It was the details of the boy’s return trip to Russia that sparked the most outrage. According to American and Russian officials, Nancy Hansen said she had accompanied the boy on a flight to Washington and then put him on a direct flight alone to Moscow on Wednesday.

She reportedly had found a guide over the Internet whom she paid $200 to pick up the child at the airport in Moscow and to deliver him to the Education Ministry with her note. But for residents here, that was hardly enough.

“It’s shocking the community that he went all alone,” said Cheryl Clark, the owner of a small store within walking distance of the Hansens’ homes. “The adoption agency didn’t just throw him on a plane. They had someone with him. He’s still a baby.”

Adoption experts generally agreed that an abrupt return was cause for concern. The adoption agency that worked with the Hansens, Wacap, the main office of which is in Renton, Wash., released a statement Friday that said in the 1 percent of adoptions

But he longed to write an expose about life in the gulag. He enrolled in college and each night after studying, he wrote his memories down in longhand.

Often he fell asleep at his desk.

Fifteen months later, in 1995, he published a Korean-language memoir, “Songs of the Prison Camp.” The book became an instant success, and in 2000, working with journalist Pierre Rigoulot, Kang produced a new version titled “The Aquariums of Pyongyang.”

In 2000, Kang took a job as an investigative reporter covering North Korea for the Chosun Ilbo newspaper. The work provided a new way to rattle the regime: telling the stories of fellow survivors.

His own experiences led him to feel particular compassion for other defectors. Kang wrote columns and reported exclusive stories on the failing North Korean economy, human rights abuses and succession scenarios for the eventual death of Kim Jong Il, the country’s current strongman.

He interviews defectors who are reluctant to talk, until they learn that Kang is one of them, a battered fighter who has punched his way out of the North.

His fellow escapees have taught him a valuable lesson about his homeland.

“I thought I had been through the hardest time,” he said. “After hearing their stories, I now realize something I never thought possible: that the situation there is actually getting worse.”

that do not work out, the agency focused on moving the child to a new family, not returning the child. It was unclear whether the Hansens had asked Wacap for assistance.

But Adam Pertman, executive director of Evan Donaldson Adoption Institute, said the Hansens had a responsibility to seek help. He acknowledged that adoptive parents often have incomplete histories for the children they bring into their homes. And he said that for children like Justin, born Artyom Savelyev and raised in a Russian orphanage for much of his early life, the challenges can be immense.

“You need help if you’re having problems,” he said. “There is this weird lingering myth that love will conquer all. Guess what, it doesn’t in biological families, and it doesn’t in adopted families.”

Non Surgical Face Lifts, A New Alternative to Plastic Surgery.

More and more men and women are choosing a non surgical option for looking and feeling years younger.

Whether the choice is made from purely a financial viewpoint or the desire for a healthier, more natural look- non surgical face lifts are definitely growing in popularity. In these tough economic times, many potential face lift patients have decided to save fifty to seventy five percent of the costs involved with surgical procedures.

Heroin

The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office has released its county-bycounty figures on drug-related deaths. The number of deaths from cocaine, methamphetamine or a combination of drugs dropped over the last year, but heroin-related deaths were up by about 7 percent across the state.

“With meth, we waited for it to get really bad before we started applying science-based approaches to remedying the problem, and I’m hoping we don’t keep our head buried in the sand on opiates.”

— Rob Bovett, Lincoln County district attorney and legal counsel for the Oregon Narcotics Enforcement Association “Prior to five years ago, we didn’t really see heroin cases, and we certainly didn’t see heroin in distribution quantities prior to that,” he said. “Where we did find it, it was usually in a quantity of less than a gram, or less than half a gram, and almost always found in relation to an overdose. Now we’re seeing it in dealer level, street level quantities.”

With more heroin users showing up in Central Oregon each year, officials said they’re concerned that they’ll be hearing about more overdoses.

frequently with heroin users.

In the past, nearly 90 percent of the thousands of needles exchanged through the program — last year, 14,000 were exchanged — involved methamphetamine users, while the remaining 10 percent were for people shooting heroin. Now, Johnson said the balance has shifted closer to 50-50.

Many of the heroin users say they or someone they know has overdosed.

“In the last six months, we’ve seen more clients comment on seeing someone have an overdose,” Johnson said.

The problem, officials said, is that heroin is highly addictive and often used by people who don’t understand how they’ll be affected.

“My feeling is the concern is that the people that are using heroin, the new generation, don’t know how to do things in moderation,” said the CODE team detective. “So they basically abuse it, and it can be extremely potent or of high toxicity, and it kills them.”

Bovett said he’s hopeful that public education efforts and enforcement can help stop the upward trend of heroin use and related deaths.

“I think we’re at the beginning of this bad trend line, and I’m hoping that we do something different than what we did with meth,” he said. “With meth, we waited for it to get really bad before we started applying sciencebased approaches to remedying the problem, and I’m hoping we don’t keep our head buried in the sand on opiates.”

Early on Nov. 8, 2007, armed men penetrated a 10,000-volt security fence, disabled intrusion detectors and scaled a ladder into the emergency control center of the Pelindaba nuclear facility, the repository of highly enriched uranium removed from the six bombs of South Africa’s defunct nuclear arsenal.

The gang, which shot and wounded a security officer during the 45 minutes they spent inside the center, left empty-handed. Its members have never been captured or identified, however, and their ability to penetrate what was supposedly one of South Africa’s most heavily guarded installations highlights what experts warn is growing danger that terrorists will obtain small amounts of highly enriched uranium.

Securing the world’s stocks of highly enriched uranium, also known as HEU, and weapons-grade plutonium is the goal of a two-day nuclear summit involving leaders from 46 countries that begins Monday in Washington.

President Barack Obama hopes that the attendees will acknowledge the threat and will begin a concerted effort to “lock down” all HEU and plutonium stocks vulnerable

to theft within four years.

“Our biggest concerns right now are actually the issues of nuclear terrorism and nuclear proliferation: more countries obtaining nuclear weapons; those weapons being less controllable, less secure; nuclear materials floating around the globe,” Obama said in Prague on Thursday after signing the new nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia.

do see crossover, it’s with marijuana and pills and heroin.”

Police are often tipped off to users and dealers by the users’ parents or friends who notice telltale signs of heroin use, like weight loss, changes in behavior or track marks on their arms. Often, they find needles, wadded-up pieces of aluminum foil or a metal spoon that’s used to heat up the heroin.

But because the number of people in Central Oregon buying heroin is still relatively small, the CODE team detective said enforcement can be a challenge.

“It’s a very close-knit culture, so it’s harder to infiltrate,” he said.

A growing number of people in that group, however, end up in court.

Last year, Gunnels prosecuted more than 20 heroin-related cases in Deschutes County, double the number from 2008 and a dramatic increase from several years ago, when local heroin cases were almost unheard of.

Continued from A1 Heroin typically comes in two forms: a black tar, which is broken off in small chunks, or a brownish powder. It can be injected, smoked or snorted.

Users tend to be young, often teenagers still in high school or young adults in their early 20s.

“By the time I get them in drug court when they’re strung out and OD’d on heroin at 19 and 20, they’ve already been using for a few years,” said Lincoln County District Attorney Rob Bovett, who also serves as legal counsel for the Oregon Narcotics Enforcement Association.

A large number of users get into heroin after dabbling with prescription pain killers like OxyContin or hydrocodone. Users often switch to heroin because the pills get too expensive — prices have recently been on the rise — or because they want a better high.

OxyContin often sells for about $1 per milligram. The pills range in strength from 10 milligrams to 160 milligrams each.

“Many are starting with prescription drugs, and when they’re fully addicted to that, they find themselves going to heroin,” Bovett said.

The State Medical Examiner’s report did not include information about deaths from prescription medications, but Bovett said use of those drugs is also on the rise.

Oregon ranks third in the nation in per capita nonmedical use of painkillers among adults and fourth for use by young people ages 12 to 17, according to a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Deschutes County Deputy District Attorney Steve Gunnels, a designated drug prosecutor, said heroin users often are college educated and come from middleclass backgrounds. In most cases, they don’t use meth or cocaine.

“For the most part, I believe heroin or pill dealers tend to kind of shun the methamphetamine crowd,” Gunnels said. “They feel like they’re in a different class altogether, and they don’t like methamphetamine addicts. If you

FALLEN SOLDIERS’ RETURN

Efforts to ease pain as families gather at Dover ‘We would truly like to be out of business,’ says the commander of the facility where soldiers who have died return to the states, but that’s unlikely to happen with 30,000 more troops yet to reach Afghanistan

By Elisabeth Bumiller New York Times News Service

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — Shortly after 4:20 a.m. on Easter Sunday, a pair of flag-covered caskets with the remains of two Marines, both killed the previous week in Afghanistan, were carried out of the belly of a C-17 into the sight of their waiting families.

As two mothers, a widow and a knot of other kin watched from the tarmac, the bodies of Sgt. Frank World, 25, of Buffalo, N.Y., and Lance Cpl. Tyler Griffin, 19, of Voluntown, Conn., were loaded into a large van. Marines in white gloves and camouflage fatigues gave a final salute in the dark chill, then marched in formation behind the van as it rolled slowly toward the base mortuary, the largest in the nation.

In the past year, as the remains of 462 service members along with nearly 2,000 relatives have passed through Dover, the experience on the flight line has become as common as it is excruciating. Now, to meet the demand and to accommodate what Dover officials expect to be increasing casualties from Afghanistan, the military has embarked on a building surge at this main entry point for the nation’s war dead.

In January, Dover opened the Center for the Families of the Fallen, a $1.6 million, 6,000square-foot space of soft lighting and earth-toned furniture where parents, spouses, children, siblings and other relatives assemble before they are taken to the flight line. On May 1, there is to be a groundbreaking for a new $4.5 million hotel for families who need to spend the night. The same day, ground will also be broken on what Dover officials are calling a meditation center, a nondenominational space with an adjacent garden where relatives can pray or be alone.

Housing Continued from A1 The violations found in the 2009 report included the fact that 91 percent of housing authority rental units had health and safety violations, including no working smoke detector in 63 percent of the rental units, poorquality work such as unsafe water heater installation, collapsing subfloors and deteriorating concrete walkways on brand-new homes in 42 percent of the units, and major maintenance issues, including fire damage, exposed wiring and electrical shorts in 64 percent of the units.

That report also found that the tribes had not rectified some misuse of federal funds, such as staff and board members claiming travel expenses without receipts, dating back to 2003.

Most recently, the tribes improperly accounted for $1.4 million in federal funds, according to HUD investigators. The tribes

The building boom is under way as the Iraq war is winding down — some 50,000 American troops are set to withdraw from the country between now and August — and as President Barack Obama has set July 2011 for the start of withdrawals from Afghanistan. But most of the 30,000 extra troops Obama ordered to Afghanistan are still due to arrive this summer, bringing the total American force in that country to nearly 100,000.

Heavy fighting is expected in the months ahead.

“We would truly like to be out of business,” said Col. Robert Edmondson, the commander of the Air Force Mortuary Affairs Operations Center at Dover. “Clearly, there’s a big requirement right now, and it’s a real requirement.

So we have to deal with that.”

A need for families The need to provide for families at the base began a year ago last week, when a new Pentagon policy reversed an 18-year ban on photographs of the flag-covered caskets and allowed news coverage, if relatives wished, of the return of the war dead. At the same time, the military began paying travel and lodging expenses for families who wanted to be present for the transfers.

Before then, expenses were not paid, and families were not encouraged to come.

Dover officials had no idea how many families would travel to witness the 15-minute transfers, but so far about 75 percent have. Some 55 percent of families have allowed news coverage, these days often just a single Associated Press photographer.

(Steve Ruark made 80 trips to Dover since last May.) Of the 462 service members whose remains have come through Dover from April 5,

disputed that finding.

Calica said last month that the tribes are planning to take direct control of the housing authority, which has been an independent agency whose board members were appointed by the tribal government. Last month, Sharon Jones, housing authority manager, said officials have tried to improve safety and conditions recently, and that they plan to hire two new police officers dedicated to WSHA units.

HUD spokesman Leland Jones said the housing authority and Warm Springs Tribal Council have a history of promising improvements in the housing program, but not delivering.

“A lot of these things are things that in some sense keep being put off,” Jones said.

“They’ve sort of thrown ideas out and really what we’re trying to suggest to them is it’s a question of when you’re going to do it, how you do it and how you’ll show us it’s done.”

A flag-draped casket arrives April 4 at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The military is trying to provide for the families that come to meet the caskets and to accommodate what Dover officials say could be increasing casualties from Afghanistan.

2009, the first day of the new policy, to this past Thursday, a great majority — 332 — were killed in Afghanistan.

Dover officials acknowledge that the new amenities can hardly soften the impact and that many family members are so stunned — typically they arrive at Dover only 24 or 36 hours after they have been notified of a loved one’s death — that they barely notice the surroundings.

Chaplains have learned to be ready to catch family members, typically mothers, whose knees sometimes buckle when they first see the flag-covered caskets of their children come off the planes. Because of military schedules, the flights land at any time, but often in the middle of the night.

“You’re kind of numb, and getting up that early in the morning, you’re even number,” World’s mother, Susan World-Missana, said by telephone from Buffalo a few days after the return of the body of her son, who was killed by a homemade bomb near the southern Afghan town of Marjah. World left behind a wife,

has until about April 26 to demonstrate that it is making progress toward fixing the issues. If it hasn’t done so, the next step is a meeting between tribal and HUD officials to develop a plan to put the housing authority back in compliance with federal rules. If the housing authority doesn’t comply with that plan, it could see its federal grant funds reduced or eliminated, Jones said.

In the interim, the housing authority will need preapproval from HUD before spending any Indian Block Grant funds, according to the warning letter. Ultimately, HUD wants the tribes to break a cycle of “taking two steps forward and three steps back,” Jones said.

“In some fundamental sense, what we want to do is see them take two steps forward — period,” Jones said.

Beth World, and a 3-year-old son and a 2-month-old daughter he had never met. He was due home in two months.

The family center, World-Missana said, “looked like a mortuary, but it was impressive.”

“I mean, it was very nice,” she added. “But due to the circumstances, I don’t think anything’s going to matter.”

“She just kept saying, ‘It’s my little girl,’” Mrs. Schwartz recalled. “She was staring at this other family. They were probably 3 feet away from her. And this family was just crying uncontrollably. And I watched her face, and she was just ready to explode.”

Appalled by the cramped quarters and lack of privacy, Schwartz told her husband that something had to be done.

The family center opened its doors a little more than six months later. “On behalf of a grateful nation” is emblazoned on a wall in the reception area.

Inside are a large room with separate seating areas, additional private rooms, a kitchen, and a children’s room with a crib and toys. There are diaper-changing areas in the women’s room — and in the men’s room, too. “It was again one of those recognitions that not all of our fallen service members are male,” said S. Todd Rose, the director of the mortuary affairs division at Dover.

Chaplains, mental health professionals and other staff members are on hand to greet the families.

The nine-suite hotel is to be built by the Fisher House Foundation, which erects free lodging near military hospitals for the families of recuperating service members. This Fisher House, as they are called, is to open in the fall and will be built, like the others, largely with donations.

Obama, who witnessed the return to Dover of 18 Americans killed in Afghanistan this past October, gave the foundation $250,000 of his 2009 Nobel Prize money, most of which will go to the new Dover lodging. For now, the military puts families up in town.

Room to grieve The idea for the family center came in large part from Suzie Schwartz, the wife of Gen. Norton Schwartz, the Air Force chief of staff. The couple was at Dover one night last June to meet with families in a crowded chapel lobby, one of the only spaces available at the time. Schwartz watched as one mother’s anger about the death of her daughter spilled over to the others grieving in the room.

TRASHFORMATIONS One man’s trash, another man’s ... what, exactly?

TOWN HALL

La Pine traffic, business issues at the fore

aking a break from welding rusty wrenches and sawblades into the form of a rooster, John Bentley confessed he had no idea what he’d be building when he arrived at Packit Liquidators in southwest Bend on Saturday morning.

“Usually I come with an idea and some stuff; I bring a lot of my own stuff, but this time I just sort of came,” he said. “I just started putting it together, and hopefully, something comes out of it. What would spring be without Trashformations?”

As the name suggests, Trashformations is all about transforming trash into something better. Participants bring their own tools and fasteners, and Pakit provides an array of raw materials — plumbing fixtures, junked bike racks, broken fan blades and items all but identifiable — to be reassembled into works of art.

“It’s been going on 10 years, and it’s now the largest art-making event in Oregon,” organizer Chris “Buffalo” Folsom said. “Not the largest art event, but the largest artmaking event.”

John Bentley adds some final touches to his “Angry Rooster” sculpture while participating in Trashformations on Saturday afternoon at Pakit Liquidators in Bend. Bentley said this is his ninth year participating in the event, where stuff is made from reused and recycled materials. Most times Bentley has a rough idea of what he’s going to construct before he arrives — but he hadn’t a clue this year.

Traffic and ODOT Art Uecker said he’d like to see the city make the highway corridor the top priority for code enforcement. Making a good first impression is critical for La Pine’s efforts to promote tourism, Uecker said. “That’s what people see when they come through La Pine; that sets the stage for what they think of the city,” he said.

Responding to concerns that the city hasn’t moved fast enough on addressing traffic problems, Councilor Doug Ward said there’s been a lot of activity behind the scenes.

The Oregon Department of Transportation has approved a realignment of the highway to avoid dangerous intersections with Burgess Road and the railroad at Wickiup Junction, Ward said, and should be providing funding for the construction within two years.

Trashformations continues today What: An annual scrap sculpture event When: Until 7 p.m. (event began Saturday) Where: Pakit Liquidators, 903 S.E. Armour Road, Bend Cost: $20; $10 for students of any age. Anyone is welcome to come watch the art-making in progress for free.

Contact: 541-280-9301

Five-year-old Nicholai Moroukian works on building his own creation out of recycled materials after watching his father construct a sculpture. The boy has a talent for balancing things, Steve Moroukian said. “None of it’s connected. It’s like Zen and the art of stacking stuff,” Steve said.

Traffic congestion, code enforcement and business recruitment topped the list of residents’ concerns Saturday at a town hall meeting hosted by the La Pine City Council.

Councilors organized the meeting to give south county residents an opportunity to find out more about what city government in the state’s newest city has been doing, and to raise concerns or offer suggestions about local issues.

About 60 people turned out for the meeting, which also included presentations from candidates for a variety of local offices.

Patrick Sanchez told councilors he was bothered by the clutter that has been allowed to accumulate on many properties in La Pine, particularly along U.S. Highway 97, and asked when the city would be able to compel people to clean up.

Deborah McMahon, a consultant working with the city to develop various policies, said La Pine will be dependent on the county for code enforcement until the city adopts its own codes.

Drafting a good code addressing clutter that stands up to challenges can be difficult, she said.

“What one person says is beautiful is what another person says is an eyesore,” she said.

John Thomas, the chairman of the La Pine Planning Commission, said his group is aiming to develop a clutter code the City Council can approve within the next year, and would like to hire a code enforcement officer in about two years.

Ben Schade, 31, works on strengthening a bolt that will support the headpiece of the “Bob Marley” sculpture he and Rick Fortin were creating.

Reservation named drug-trafficking area Label allows feds to help fund the fight against a growing problem in the area

By Diane S.W. Lee The Bulletin

It’s not necessarily good news to be designated a high-intensity drug-trafficking area by the federal government. But the designation is good news for tribal law enforcement officials on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation because it means the area is eligible for federal money to help fight illegal drug problems.

Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley announced last week that Warm Springs

is an area with a growing illegal drug activity problem, and qualifies for federal funding to help local law enforcement combat issues of heroin and methamphetamine.

Drug activities on the reservation are linked to Mexican drug gangs that grow marijuana and other illegal drugs, said Jim Soules, the reservation’s public safety general manager.

“They target reservations all over the nation because they are rural, generally, and they have a lot of open spaces,” Soules said.

“We have 1,000 square miles, a lot of forested areas, a lot of areas where they can hide their production without being noticed. So they target reservations as well as national forests and other remote places.”

Redmond charter a bit too successful?

School board, union worry number of students is hurting district finances

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

REDMOND — A Redmond charter school that has a waiting list of more than 100 students with its alternative education program may be a victim of its own success.

The Redmond Proficiency Academy, which serves high school students, opened this fall and has recently drawn the attention of the Redmond School Board and the teachers union, the Redmond Education Association, because of the effect the academy has had on the

district’s budget. Board members and union President Barry Branaugh recently asked the district’s lawyers if it can slow the drain of students from the district to the academy.

But according to the lawyer’s written response, the district has few options until the charter agreement comes up for renewal in 2014.

As part of the charter agreement, the district takes 5 percent of all state per-student funding given to the academy. Because 86 of the academy’s 150 current students came from Redmond High School, the district’s finances have taken a hit this year.

If those 86 students had attended Redmond High School this year, the district would have received more than $500,000 in funding.

Under the agreement, the district received about $45,000.

Dealership employee suspected of stealing A Bend woman was arrested Friday on suspicion of stealing money from the car dealership where she worked.

Sandra E. Rose, 47, who worked at Dave Holt Toyota, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree aggravated theft and computer crime and lodged in the Deschutes County jail. Her bail was set at $15,000.

Police are still investigating the case and have not determined how much money was involved.

Son, mother in hospital after apparent attack A 35-year-old woman and her 15-year-old son were hospitalized Friday in what police are describing as attempted murder.

No arrests have been made.

Police and fire medics were dispatched Friday to a home in the 1500 block of Southeast Tempest Drive in Bend at about 5:30 p.m.

Authorities determined that the son had struck his mother in the head with a bottle multiple times then stabbed her in the face with a broken piece of the bottle, and that the son had also stabbed himself in the abdomen and taken several prescription pills before being contacted by officers.

The son’s injuries are considered life threatening, while the mother’s injuries are considered not to be life threatening. The investigation is continuing.

Portland police union leader admits road rage The Associated Press PORTLAND — The head of the police union says he’s sorry he engaged in two incidents of road rage against the same person.

Sgt. Scott Westerman says he was off duty, unarmed and in his personal car during both incidents in January.

The first time, Virginia Thompson called 911 to report that a man cut her off and got out of his car to berate her. The second time occurred two days later, when the same woman was riding in a car with her husband.

Westerman tells The Oregonian newspaper that his behavior was not acceptable, and he owes the couple an apology. He says he was dealing with personal issues at the time.

Westerman has not been disciplined. An internal police investigation is continuing.

Jan VanderTuin, site coordinator for the Skinner City Farm in Eugene, uses red wiggler worms to compost leaves and leftover foods into soil.

Eugene’s soil secret Area farm’s little red worms that produce premium dirt are in demand nationwide

By Winston Ross The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — In the shadow of Skinner Butte, just a few yards west of a playground along the Willamette River, sits a rectangular box in the patchwork of community plots that comprise the Skinner City Farm.

The box looks like a truck trailer, but with a winch at each end, and a grate that covers the top, secured by a padlock. The lock is there to prevent thieves from robbing the farm of a writhing mass of creatures that can turn table scraps into “gold,� in the words of the nonprofit farm’s coordinator, Jan VanderTuin.

Those creatures are worms — red wigglers, to be precise — and there are thousands of them chowing through compost gathered up from area markets and restaurants, turning that food waste into castings that are about as premium a soil as money can buy.

It’s just composting — vermicomposting, as it’s known — but this form of it can produce usable soil in about a third the time taken by the giant black compost tumblers that also occupy the Skinner farm, and knowledge of this little secret appears to be spreading, thanks in part to the ongoing economic recession.

Skinner farm also sells the soil-producing worms — though technically it’s a “suggested donation� of $15 — for a Nancy’s Yogurt container of wrigglers. Last year, VanderTuin said, the volume nearly

doubled, from the typical 30 or 40 customers to about 60.

He attributes that growth in part to Eugene residents’ love of using organic waste wisely. Or, as Oregon State University extension horticultural agent Ross Penhallegon puts it, “Around here, composting is king.�

As often as four times a year, the extension service offers classes on worm composting, and they’re usually attended by about 40 people a class, Penhallegon said. The first class held this year drew 70 participants. “People are looking at effective, low-input, sustainable ways of gardening,� Penhallegon said.

Typical composting requires heat at the center of a compost pile to turn scraps into soil, but the Willamette Valley doesn’t see temperatures high enough to make that process happen quickly, said Dan “The Worm Man� Jaggers, who has been breeding and selling worms out of his house in west Eugene for the past three years.

Worms eat their body weight plus half each day, so they’re working to break down scraps regardless of the outside temperature.

Jaggers is a maintenance worker at a senior housing facility in town, but he studied horticulture and vermiculture in the 1970s, he said. When the kids left for college, he and his wife found that they were still putting out about a can of garbage each week, destined for a landfill. “I realized I could feed a lot of this stuff to worms.�

To account for the inevitable periodic slumps in local demand, Jaggers supplements his Web site sales — www.danthewormman .com — with an eBay effort.

Jaggers’ customers have included people who live in highrise apartment complexes in New York City.

Man in state police custody dies The Associated Press CORNELIUS — Authorities in Washington County are investigating the death of an erratic, partially clothed man in police custody.

Cornelius police say they responded to an emergency call from a resident who confronted the man in his backyard early Saturday.

An officer used his Taser on the man, but it appeared to have no effect. The man resist-

ed the officer, and they struggled down the street until two Forest Grove officers arrived and joined in trying to subdue the man with a stun gun and pepper spray.

The man continued to resist and then stopped breathing.

Medics were unable to revive him.

An autopsy and toxicology test will be performed. The Washington County Inter-Agency Major Crimes Team is investigating the death.

O “Nobody here knows anything about her. They’ve never heard of her, but all around the rest of the Northwest, there are statues.”

— Barbara Clement, of Keizer, on Marie Dorion, the first woman to settle in Oregon Territory

A forgotten pioneer story revived

By Jillian Daley

Schools shuffle principals for federal grants

(Salem) Statesman Journal

SALEM — Keizer community leader Barbara Clement wants to honor a local heroine who died 160 years ago.

Madame Marie Dorion was the first woman to settle in Oregon Territory, the first to give birth on the Oregon Trail, an advocate for orphans and a hero to fur traders.

Clement plans to have a sign installed within a covered kiosk at Keizer Station Park telling Dorion’s story. The illustrated sign, now in the design phase, will be in place by May. Dorion, or Walks Far Woman, arrived in the Willamette Valley in 1841, farming land by the Salem-Keizer border and in the Gervais area.

Clement was moved to educate the public about Dorian after reading Jane Kirkpatrick’s historical-novel trilogy on the French, Canadian, Native American hero.

“Nobody here knows anything about her,” Clement said. “They’ve never heard of her, but all around the rest of the Northwest, there are statues (and) a dormitory’s named after her.”

The area Dorion settled in was on the southern end of the now-dry Lake Labish, just east of Chemawa Indian School, Clement said.

Clement chose to place the sign in the park, figuring drivers would zip by too fast on Chemawa Road to read it.

A lesser-known Sacagawea of sorts Born in 1786, Dorion married her first husband as a teenager, according to the National Women’s History Museum. In March 1811 at St. Louis, her French-Canadian husband — his wife and two children in tow — took the first steps on an overland expedition fur magnate John Jacob Astor had funded.

William Price Hunt led the

The Associated Press SALEM — The Salem-Keizer School District is shuffling the principals at half of its high schools as a condition for receiving a federal grant.

Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that the principals at McKay, McNary and North Salem high schools are changing places. McKay was ranked among the lowest-achieving schools in Oregon, and it could receive up to $6 million in federal money.

But under School Improvement Grant rules the district agreed to implement, that means the principal has to go.

Timothy J. Gonzalez / (Salem) Statesman Journal

Barbara Clement stands at the south end of the former Lake Labish, where Marie Dorion settled, in Keizer. Clement is working to make sure Dorion’s story is not forgotten. Dorion, a Native American, was the first woman to give birth along the Oregon Trail and the first woman to settle in the territory.

A story of courage In January 1814, Reed sent his men near one post to trap beaver, while he, another man and Dorion stayed behind. A friendly native told Dorion another group was going to attack the other trappers.

Dorion, with her two children, rode out to warn them. When she arrived, her husband and all but one of the trappers had been murdered. She pulled the survivor onto her horse to take him to safety, but he died of his wounds.

“How many women would be strong enough to lift a man up and put him on her horse?” GobinBailes said.

Dorion returned to Reed’s Post to find Reed and the other fur trapper slain.

So she moved on, crossing the Blue Mountains in the spring.

Food was difficult to find, so she sheltered her children in a protec-

tive layer of snow and set off for help. She found it at a Walla Walla American Indian camp. The Walla Wallas sent someone to fetch her children. By the time they found a safe harbor, mother and children had walked 250 miles.

Dorion remarried, living in the Walla Walla Valley in Washington. Relocating to the Willamette Valley in 1841, she “gained the respect of her neighbors who referred to her as ‘Madame Dorion,’” Ringhand writes.

In 1850, the mother of five was buried beneath the altar of the St. Louis Church in the Gervais area rather than the cemetery: an honor worthy of saints and noblemen.

Clement said Dorion’s aid with baptisms and weddings, as well as her practice of adopting and finding homes for orphans, influenced where she was buried.

“She was a heroine,” Clement said.

In all, Dudley has raised nearly $1.2 million, while the Democratic fundraising front-runner, former Gov. John Kitzhaber, has gathered slightly more than $1 million, according to campaign reports filed with the state government. The tallies were based on figures from the last two years.

Neil Ruffin, 34, accuses Sgt. Kyle Nice of menacing and threatening him with a loaded gun. Attorney Greg Kafoury is attempting to hold the city responsible for Nice’s off-duty behavior. Ruffin is seeking $145,000 in damages.

The encounter took place April 3 in Washington County, near Portland. A sheriff’s deputy responded, but no one was cited.

Although both candidates have started TV advertising, those efforts can be expected to ramp up soon. Ballots will be mailed out starting in less than three weeks.

They can be mailed or dropped at any time for counting on May 18.

A number of poor-performing schools across Washington and Oregon — including in Madras — have been faced with the prospect of reorganizing their administrations or planning other big changes in the quest for substantial federal grants.

Identifying Oregon’s poorestperforming schools is part of a move by the federal government to change from punishing lowperforming schools to offering financial incentives to improve.

Madras High School’s low reading and math scores put it in a category with the 18 lowest-achieving schools in the state, according to previous Bulletin reports.

In search of water, drillers dig up data on an ancient Deschutes River in1960 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 10, 1910 ALASKAN BANKER SEES BEND George Blanchard of Skagway, Alaska, arrived in Bend yesterday, having come directly from the north country to look into the Deschutes Valley region of which he had heard so much. It was through his acquaintance with Floyd Dement that Mr. Blanchard was piloted directly to Bend.

The Alaskan visitor is reputed to be a millionaire, it is understood, and has large mercantile houses at Skagway and elsewhere, besides being interested in a bank at Juneau. Mr. Blanchard expresses himself as delighted with the Deschutes Country and is most enthusiastic in his appreciation of Bend’s possibilities, predicting a great future for the town. Today he returns to Portland and thence to Alaska, with the intention of coming back to Bend at a later date and identifying himself with its development. Mr. Blanchard is taking back with him all the literature, maps and photos he could find, and volunteers to boost Bend all the way from here to Nome.

FAST GAME IS WON BY BEND Sunday afternoon the local fans were well rewarded for giving up fishing excursions by the brilliant victory the Bend boys won from the county seat ball players. Eight to one was the score. The game was well and cleanly played, with here and there a snappy bit of grandstand work that promised great things for the later season when practice has worn off the corners. The band played first, and then the two teams, with a big crowd of enthusiasts doing the fan act from the bleachers and autos.

There were no tallys in the first three innings. In the last of the fourth, Bend got down to business, Van Matre walking and then being advanced to third on a clever bunt

by Weider, and both men coming home on a timely grounder from the bat of Burris. After which, Barnes for the visitors, mistook McReynolds’ high fly for Halley’s comet and conveniently dropped it, allowing Mac to make third on Curley Lowell’s smash through shortstop. The seventh started with a blisterer from Kulp over the third sack, Metke reaching first on his grounder. Then Van Matre singled. Next O’Donnel sacrificed Van Matre home, Weider purloined third prettily and the inning closed with a skyrocket from Burris into A. Zeeks’ mitt.

In the ninth, Prineville made their one score.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 10, 1935 SPRING OPENING HELD IN IDEAL CONDITIONS Favored by an ideal April evening, with not a cloud in the sky, merchants of Bend last night held their annual spring opening, with one of the largest crowds of recent years in attendance. Highlights of the program were the unveiling

Charter Continued from B1 That discrepancy comes at a time when the district is facing a budget deficit of more than $1 million.

“When you think about lost revenue at this time, it represents jobs and how many people we have to cut back on,” Board Chairman Paul Rodby said.

But that shouldn’t be the board’s concern, according to academy Director Michael Bremont. If the academy were to close, the district would have to take back four teachers and Bremont — all of whom are on leave from Redmond High School.

If the school closed, the district would have to spend more than $500,000 because it is obligated to take those employees back, Bremont said.

The board, he said, should be concerned with giving district students educational choices.

“It’s a money thing, and it’s unfortunate because (the board) should be more concerned with allowing options,” Bremont said.

“When the state gives money ... the intent is that the money follows the kid and is used to educate the student.”

Y E S T E R D AY

50 YEARS AGO

Into the old basin that reached from the Cascade foothills east to the Powell Buttes was dumped pumice and scoria from exploding mountains. Streams came out of the Paulinas, carrying volcanic debris into the old upper Deschutes basin. Out of the highlands to the east coursed a river that formed Millican Lake, and later cut over Horse Ridge.

Layer on layer, scoria, gravels, pumice, river-rounded rocks, silt and sands, not to mention an occasional flow of lava, filled the ancient basin. Geologists now call this the Deschutes or Madras formation.

Why was the huge basin silted to a depth of hundreds of feet?

Geologists surmise there was a blockade at some downstream point. Or maybe the silting occurred before the elevation of the interior plateau.

The descent into the earth of the probing drill was largely routine until at a level of about 700 feet a hard mass of rock was struck.

Texture of the dark-bluish lava indicated it might be a member of the series known as the Pelton basalts. These are old, massive flows on which the Pelton dam was anchored in the Deschutes gorge downstream.

The well drillers faced a problem when the drill hit the basalt: Should work be stopped there, or should drilling be continued, to determine if water exists under the layer of lava?

Drilling was continued through the lava, and the water in the hole dropped to the 548-foot static level.

Several strata of water were encountered in the drilling work, with the main flow apparently tapped at the 300-foot level. From that point the flow is tumbling into the hole to the 548-foot level.

The sound of that subterranean cascade can be heard at the opening of the hole.

There has long been a belief that subterranean streams course through deep lavas of Central Oregon. The probing undertaken by Brooks-Scanlon Inc., in connection with the proposed pulp mill studies, enhance this belief.

25 YEARS AGO

of windows, an automobile show, drills by the Bend High School Letter Girls and a program of sports for the youngsters.

Three thousand or more people were downtown. When the races were started, people lined the sidewalks in several rows from the Capital Theater south to Franklin, on both sides of the street.

The program started with the appearance of the girls’ marching unit. With Margaret Van Matre as drum major, the girls, in natty blue and gold uniforms, went through their drills in quick order, then the streets were cleared for the races.

Contestants, on foot, roller skates and bicycles, came down Wall Street in “waves,” and busy judges were unable to catch up with all contestants, several of whom were lost in the crowds and never found. Bob Moore won first place in the first bicycle race for boys, with Sammy Peoples coming in second. Ray Dixon won the second bicycle race.

In the roller skating race, Genevieve Skjersaa took first place in the girls’ event, and Howard Jones won the boys’ race. The first foot race was won by Donald Dyer, with Homer Moffett coming in second. Norma Porterfield and Jean Eby were winners in the girls’ race. In another foot race for boys, Elmer Graham was an easy winner, and Bob Hall came in second.

Although the street program attracted considerable attention, it was the neatly prepared windows of the merchants, holding the latest in spring wear, that captivated the attention of women and men.

Many of the onlookers agreed that the windows were the most attractive in recent years. The 1935 model cars also received their share of attention, and dealers were unanimous in saying that there is more interest in cars now than at any time since the start of the “recent depression.”

PROBING DRILL, IN SEARCH OF HIDDEN WATER, BRINGS UP DATA ON ANCIENT DESCHUTES RIVER Drillers sinking the 900-foot hole on Brooks-Scanlon property near Bend found more than a fine pool of clear, cold water: From the depths they brought up information about the old horizons under Bend. This information was interpreted from drill cores. The story read from the cores is one of an ancient river that through the eons struggled for a right-of-way in a region of intense volcanic activity.

There was a time in the pluvial days that followed the ice age, when the Deschutes was a huge river, carrying to the Columbia heavy melt from mountain snows and Cascade glaciers. That ancient river followed a meandering course across a region much lower than at the present. It rolled in its bed giant volcanic boulders.

The school is not in danger of closing because it has four years left on the charter agreement; state law prevents a district from ending a charter because of its financial situation, Bremont said.

According to the legal response, the group asked if the district could force the academy to reopen the charter agreement.

It cannot, wrote Shawn Swisher, who represents the district. Nor can the district cut the academy’s funding level.

The group also asked if there was a way to limit how the academy recruits students. Had the district put in place recruiting limits, the academy could be restricted, but the district did not do so, Swisher said.

Looking back, Branaugh said, the board and the union could have raised more issues when the charter was signed last year.

“There’s a lot of things that in hindsight maybe we could’ve or should’ve done differently,” he said.

Still, Rodby, the school board chairman, said the board had been under the impression the academy would focus on a target population: students who would thrive in a nontraditional setting.

Some board members are concerned the academy is recruiting students outside of that scope.

For the week ending April 10, 1985 WIFE WRAPS GREETINGS WITH FLAIR Carol Shotwell says she loves her husband so much she decided to have him arrested.

But that was just one prank she arranged for Bob Shotwell’s 61st birthday Friday.

The day started out in a different vein when a limousine pulled up to Shotwell’s house and whisked the birthday target away to breakfast at the Desert Pines Bakery in La Pine, where the Shotwells live.

Mrs. Shotwell had hired a clown to serve Shotwell breakfast, and he was serenaded by nine members of a road crew.

Shotwell’s next stop was his classroom at COCC, where he teaches journalism. His lecture for the day was on “how reporters can keep their cool.” His ex-

Bremont said the academy is not allowed to reject in-district students. And the school has attracted students who did not fit in at Redmond High for one reason or another. As of last week, the academy had 11 students who had dropped out of district schools, 30 home-schooled students and four teen parents who struggled with schedules at Redmond High.

The academy’s popularity looks likely to put more pressure on the district budget next year.

The current year’s attendance was capped at 150 students. But for 2010-11, the academy can have up to 250 students. There is already a waiting list of more than 130 students for the 100 available spots, Bremont said.

Staff of Redmond Proficiency Academy will meet with the board on April 28, and Branaugh hopes the district and academy can come to an agreement about how students are recruited to the school.

“And I guess if the RPA is willing to make concessions themselves to help the budget, they can,” he said. “They’re not obligated to.”

pertise in that was put to the test when a Dolly Parton look-alike burst in mid-lecture with a singing telegram.

Shotwell’s day featured other pranks, including being kidnapped by his students and entertained by a belly dancer who interrupted a staff meeting at KICE radio, where Shotwell is a part-time news announcer For lunch he was driven, via limo, to the McDonald’s drive-up window with the chauffeur paying for everything.

But the day’s coup de grace came promptly at 3 p.m., when a Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputy drove up to where Shotwell stood, he thought, waiting to report to a Good Friday roadside cleanup. Instead, he was arrested — for “practicing the offensive act of one-finger nose blowing.”

He was frisked, handcuffed and deposited in the back seat of the cruiser.

Deputies let him cool his heels awhile in a tiny room used to interrogate prisoners. Then, after he wrote, “I confess. I placed the iceberg in the path of the Titanic,” they told him someone had arrived to post his bail.

For that duty, Mrs. Shotwell had hired an “aging, flabby go-go dancer,” who danced on a lunchroom table steadied by Sheriff Jim France before escorting the freed prisoner to his limousine.

When her husband arrived home, “We’d rigged a confetti drop on the front door. In the living room were a tuba, drum and cymbal band to play “Happy Birthday.”

From there he goes to his office, but it is filled from floor to ceiling with 600 balloons. At 7 p.m. a dancing banana shows up with a “bananagram.”

Mrs. Shotwell said: “I wanted to give him a day he would never forget.” I think I’m going into hibernation about two weeks before my birthday and not return before it’s all over.”

Eugene residents seek to limit rising Taser use The Associated Press EUGENE — Randy Prince, a Eugene high school teacher, is leading a petition drive for a ballot initiative to restrict the use of Tasers by police officers.

Prince said the initiative would allow police to use the shock devices only in situations where deadly force is justified.

Proponents of the proposal need to collect 12,062 signatures by July 15 to put the initiative before voters in November, the Eugene Register-Guard reported.

A new report from the Eugene Police Department says officers are now using Tasers more frequently than pepper spray when confronting

resistant people.

In 2008 and 2009, officers used the stun guns 49 times to subdue people, while pepper spray was used in 43 cases. In 2007 alone, a year before officers began carrying Tasers, officers used pepper spray 57 times.

Since officers began carrying Tasers in 2008, the stun guns have been used largely without controversy. But two high-profile incidents involving the same officer focused public attention on the weapons and prompted the petition drive.

Critics said the effort to classify the Taser as a deadly weapon would hamstring police.

Grace Rea, 91, of Bend, died Saturday, April 3, 2010. Bend resident for 51 years, including 20 years as co-owner of the Gateway Motel.

A service to honor her life will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, Bend, April 17, 2010, at 3:00 p.m.

Grace Rea Grace was born on a farm near Aberdeen, South Dakota, on November 9, 1918, to Gilbert and Alice Roberts. She was fifth of seven siblings, with three brothers and three sisters. She was educated in a one-room grade school, and in 1936, graduated from Ipswich High School. She met Robert Rea at Aberdeen Business College and married him on February 14, 1942.

During WWII, they worked in Washington, DC, and for one year in Portland, OR, before returning to South Dakota, where Grace and Robert developed a tax consulting and a dry cleaning business.

In 1960, the couple purchased the Gateway Motel, Bend, OR. Grace managed the motel and helped Robert with his tax consulting business until he died in 1979. Somehow she managed to work two jobs and raise three boys. Grace attended the First Presbyterian Church, and during the 1990s enjoyed volunteering at St. Charles Hospital.

Grace provided a loving and supportive home to family and friends. Her large dinner table was the center of family events.

Her 'German' pancakes, angel food cakes, homemade ice cream and apple pies were simply extraordinary.

Her life defined graciousness.

Grace is survived by her three sons, Glen 65, and his wife Carol, of Albany, Kevin, 59, and fiance, Barbara Dudley, of Bend, and Bill, 54, and his wife, Elaine, of Portland.

Donald Eugene Devlin, long-time resident of Bend, Oregon and previously of Portland, died in Vancouver, Washington on March 20, 2010 from causes related to Alzheimer’s.

He was 95.

Born on the plains of Montana, north of Shelby on Don Devlin April 21, 1914, Don lived his life in the Northwest.

He attended Lincoln High School and Oregon State University, graduating in Fisheries and Wildlife. He married Laura Beals, December 10, 1941; she died September 13, 2001.

After completing WWII duty with the Blue Devils of the 88th Infantry Division in North Africa and Italy, Don returned to Oregon and a career as a court reporter, first in Multnomah County, then in Bend at the Circuit Court of Judge Robert Foley.

Don was a life-long learner, outdoorsman and naturalist.

He was a member of the Mazamas, Silvies Hunt Club, Bend Bowmen, Blue Boar Inn, and Sylvan Archers. His interests ranged from swimming to hiking, canoeing, bow hunting, bird identification, travel, crosscountry skiing, handball, cribbage, reading and square dancing. He was an avid and skilled craftsman who did leather tooling, furniture repair and refinishing, chair caning, arrow making and fly tying.

He was never happier than returning to camp an hour after dark with bow in hand and a tale to tell of that one that jumped the string.

Don is survived by his daughter, Mary Devlin and husband, Norman Hale (Portland), son, Bruce Devlin and wife, Kathy (Sherwood), and grandson, Scott Devlin (Portland).

Don donated his body to BioGift; he requested no services.

The family expresses its gratitude to the caretakers at the Waterford in Vancouver for the effort and compassion they put into their daily work.

Donations in Don’s memory can be made to Portland Audubon Society or Nature Conservancy.

La Pine Continued from B1 Closer in to town, a study of the intersection of First Street and the highway is due to begin soon, Ward said. He said the city still needs to find funding for its share of the First Street project, but it will get done.

“It’s because the entire council has been hammering ODOT, hammering the county, hammering the roads department, and they finally heard us and something’s going to get done,” Ward said.

Councilor Adele McAfee said the city is still handicapped by its youth, and that ODOT and other agencies haven’t consistently invited city representatives to meetings.

“People are not used to La Pine being at the table,” she said.

Business park Linda Johnson told councilors she’d hoped to see more development in the La Pine Industrial Park, a 327-acre piece of land on the city’s northeast side. Adding more businesses to the park would bring jobs to the area, she said, and boost the city’s tax base.

Ward said the city is in a difficult position to promote the business park, as the land is owned by the county, and all decisions about providing utilities to a prospective business are in the hands of the independent sewer

Drugs Continued from B1 The drug-trafficking designation will supplement resources on the reservation, paying for new equipment and overtime pay for detectives who help crack down on criminals and illegal drug activities.

About High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas “It’s a funding source that gives us the ability to devote more resources to the enforcement of drug laws,” Soules said. “And it allows us to work closely with the HIDTA in Deschutes County and Jefferson and Wasco counties to do a better job of cutting off the flow of drugs onto the reservation, and maybe into Central Oregon as a whole.”

To qualify for a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area designation, an area has to make and distribute a significant amount of illegal drugs, have local law enforcement dedicated to fighting drug trafficking and demonstrate a need for federal resources, according to a news release.

Warm Springs is still waiting to receive an official letter approving the reservation for the designation, Soules said. The amount of funding for the reservation is yet to be determined.

Warm Springs joins eight counties in the state designated as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas, including Deschutes

County. Jefferson County has a significant methamphetamine issue but does not have the designation, Soules said.

“It’s a bad thing that we need it,” Soules said. “It’s a good thing that we got it.”

Drug enforcement in the region Jim Adkins, acting sheriff for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, said detectives work closely with Deschutes County to share information about illegal drug activities to effectively attack drug problems. Adkins said he is looking forward to working with Warm Springs law enforcement.

“We have not been working with them close in the past; we intend to work much closer with them in the future,” Adkins said. “We plan on having briefings and introducing our detectives so that they can get to know each other and share information freely between us.”

Soules said the next step will be to develop an action plan for the funds.

“We’ll be excited when we actually get the designation, the official one,” Soules said.

“We’re going to work really hard to be good stewards of the resources, and we’re going to aggressively go after those that are trying to manufacture drugs on the reservation, and ship drugs onto and through the reservation.”

Rick Fortin, 49, left, and Ben Schade, 31, work together on finding elbow pieces for their “Bob Marley” sculpture. “He’ll look a little more like Bob Marley when we’re finished,” Fortin said.

“People are not used to La Pine being at the table.”

— Councilor Adele McAfee and water districts. La Pine has the lowest property taxes in the state and the cheapest industrial land, Ward said, but aside from Biogreen — a company that is exploring building a biomassfueled power plant in the park — “no one else is looking.”

La Pine Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Dan Varco urged the council to do everything it can to make sure Biogreen comes to town. Direct involvement by city leadership was a key piece of Prineville’s successful recruitment of a Facebook data center, Varco said.

“They literally wined them and dined them, took them to parties,” Varco said. “They made them fall in love with Prineville.”

Wrapping up the meeting, Councilor Barbara Hedges said the council will only be effective if local residents stay engaged and speak up when the city veers off course.

“I appreciate the watchdogs, and I hope you’ll all keep hammering on us to get things done because it keeps us on top of things,” she said.

Trash Continued from B1 Puzzling over the child’s bicycle frame he’d welded onto an old-fashioned laundry wringer, Steve Moroukian said he wasn’t sure what he was building, but he wanted it to bounce. Stepping on the wringer’s foot pedal, Moroukian, 42, sent his sculpture bobbing up and down, the bicycle resembling a hopping rabbit with handlebars for ears.

Nearby, 5-year-old Nicholai Moroukian gathered wheels, a bike seat and long lengths of scrap metal, carefully piling it higher and higher on top of a mailbox. Nicholai has a peculiar talent for balancing things, Steve said, recalling how he’d pile his blocks into towers taller than his head.

“None of it’s connected. It’s like Zen and the art of stacking stuff,” Steve said.

Ben Schade, 31, and Rick For-

tin, 49, came to Trashformations with a clear idea of what they wanted to build: a figure of Bob Marley pulling his rib cage open to reveal his internal organs.

With mailbox thighs, shovel blades for arms and a hat crafted from metal ducting, Bob was taking shape by late Saturday afternoon, but Fortin said they still have a few loose ends to tie up. They’d yet to settle on what to use for his heart and other organs, and none of the available materials that could serve as dreadlocks have looked quite right.

“He’ll look a little more like Bob Marley when we’re finished,” Fortin said.

The artists will be completing their creations today, and their works will be on display in the Old Mill District from April 17 through May 8.

Israeli youth spread message of peace with Portland peers

By Larry Bingham The Oregonian

PORTLAND — The teens and tweens joking and laughing in the dining room at the YMCA’s Camp Collins on a recent Saturday afternoon looked like any other damp-haired Oregon kids in their faded jeans, scruffy hoodies and muddy shoes.

Unless you knew half of them were visiting from Israel, you wouldn’t think something unusual was taking place over turkey-andcheese sandwiches and tomato soup. At nearly every table, Israeli Arabs sat beside Jewish schoolmates — pairings that would be unusual in their segregated home country.

Which is why 21 youths — 15 girls and six boys, primarily middle-schoolers — are spending roughly two weeks in the Portland area spreading a message of peace. They come from a school in Jerusalem that aims to integrate two violently opposite groups.

The Camp Collins visitors, who spent the morning and afternoon on a challenge course in rainy woods unlike any in Israel, attend a school operated by the Hand in Hand Center, a program started 13 years ago by Portland native Lee Gordon.

Gordon’s goal, shared with co-founder Amin Khalaf, was to create a good school that would draw the attention of parents, a bilingual school where Arabs and Jews would learn together. Along the way, the founders hope kids will come to understand their cultural and religious differences and perhaps someday help make peace in a troubled part of the world.

Gordon, 53, grew up in Portland but studied in Israel as a teenager and returned there for graduate school. He earned a master’s degree in social work from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and lived in the country for 20 years.

Now he serves as the program’s fundraiser, and lives in Portland with his wife and two younger children.

Though the four Hand in Hand schools are public schools — viewed like charter schools here, Gordon says — students there pay about $1,500 to attend. The Israeli government gives some money,

TUESDAY

Motoya Nakamura / The Oregonian

Ruth Moor, 15, of Jerusalem, hugs Charlotte Umanoff, 13, a student at the Metropolitan Learning Center, and Mais Ershied, 13, also from Jerusalem, in Portland’s woods, an area unlike anything the girls are used to in Israel. but other funds come from private donors.

The Israeli students have spent a week with host families from the Metropolitan Learning Center, where Gordon’s middle son goes to school. The visitors have made friends, shared their experiences, spoken with students in lower grades and answered all sorts of questions about what it’s like to live in a society fiercely divided.

Two years ago, when the school moved locations, the words “Death to Arabs” appeared on a nearby building. Eighth-grader Mais Ershied, 13, an Arab student, was horrified. So were her Jewish classmates and friends.

Integrated history The history of both groups is taught in the school, Gordon says, but just because the students are led to empathize with one another, it doesn’t mean they always see eye to eye.

Outside school, some students say they do a lot of explaining.

Arian Shermak, a 15-year-old ninth-grader who describes herself as an Israeli-American Jew, has been at the Hand in Hand school for two years.

“People say ‘Why do you do it?’ and ‘You’re stupid to do it,’” she says. “But after we discuss it, they say, ‘OK, that’s cool.’”

Arab student Amira Hossin, a 16-year-old 11th-grader, has been at Hand in Hand since preschool and will be in the first graduating class next year. The school has shaped her outlook, she says.

As a small child, she saw no difference between herself and her Jewish classmates except for language. As a ninth-grader, she fully understood the deep differences between their cultures. By then, however, she saw her Jewish peers not as potential enemies, but close friends from school.

The future may be the judge of the school’s success, yet Gordon is convinced the program has made a difference in the lives of students and their families. He cites as an example the recent bar mitzvah of one Jewish student. Eleven Arab school friends attended.

“If I say my goal is peace in the Middle East, that sounds a little utopian, but dialogue is important in and of itself at any moment,” Gordon says. “People might say it’s naive, it’s a drop in the bucket.

There’s a point to saying that, but that leads to cynicism. This is an antidote to cynicism. Anybody can say there’ll never be peace, just go buy a big-screen TV and forget it. One of my goals is to instill in kids the idea that things can be better.”

The Israeli students depart for their homeland Thursday.

The elegant Davidson Building in Ellensburg, Wash., was built in 1889 immediately after a fire destroyed 10 downtown blocks. A 3-foot stone phoenix atop its south facade symbolizes the town’s rapid recovery.

By John Gottberg Anderson • For The Bulletin ELLENSBURG, Wash. — here is probably no more distinctive structure in central Washington than the Davidson Building in the heart of Ellensburg.

Though just two stories tall, not counting the tower than crowns its corner turret, the elaborate building dominates the corner of Fourth Avenue and Pearl Street. Built in 1889, some might say it’s a little bit country, a little bit rock ’n’ roll, much like the charming college town in which it stands.

The Davidson Building is a grand edifice in the classic Italianate style of architecture that was popular in the last half of the 19th century.

Commissioned by attorney (later judge) John B. Davidson, it features ornate window arches, recessed entryways and pressed-tin embel-

lishments that imitate more expensive stone work. But its most distinctive element is a 3-foot sculpture of a phoenix that rises atop a pediment on its south façade.

The Davidson, you see, emerged from the ashes of Ellensburg’s Great Fire of 1889. Under construction when the Fourth of July conflagration erupted and destroyed 10 square blocks of wooden buildings, the edifice became a symbol of resilience to Ellensburg’s citizens as they reinvented their town.

UO professor takes talk to Sunriver Nature Center

By David Jasper Just like naturalist Charles Darwin, University of Oregon professor Brendan Bohannan was inspired by a visit to the Galapagos Islands.

In Darwin’s case, he spent decades developing his theories on evolution by natural selection.

In Bohannan’s, the trip was just last year, when he attended a meeting of scientists from around the world. The visit to the Pacific archipelago inspired his talk “Every One of Us a Galapagos: The Wonderful and Bizarre World of Microbial Evolution,” which he’ll deliver Friday at Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory (see “If you go”).

“The idea for this talk was hatched when I visited the Galapagos last summer,” he said by phone from his office at UO,

If you go What: “Every One of Us a Galapagos: The Wonderful and Bizarre World of Microbial Evolution” talk by University of Oregon professor Brendan Bohannan When: 6:30 p.m. Friday Where: Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory, 57245 River Road Cost: $10, $3 for students, $8 for members Contact: 541-593-4442 where he’s an associate professor with the school’s Center for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.

“It reminded me of what an important role those islands played in the way Darwin thought about the evolution of life on Earth.”

Used car’s navigation system has too much information Dear Abby: I bought a used car with a navigation system last week and noticed that the previous owner’s information was still embedded in the system. Abby, I had that man’s home address, the addresses of his friends, his bank, his workplace — every place he had gone.

Please inform your readers that if they sell a car with a navigation system, they should first delete all of their information. Car dealerships should also be aware of this and, perhaps, erase the information from the system as part of their vehicle inspection.

— Jennifer in Lee’s Summit, Mo. Dear Jennifer: Your letter raised some eyebrows among me and my staff, so we canvassed some of the used car dealerships in the Los Angeles area. They’re already aware of it. Those we spoke to stated that they are not legally required to delete information from a navigation system, and all agreed that the seller is responsible for removing the information before selling the car.

I am sure many readers will thank you for the warning.

Dear Abby: I’m 18 and a senior in high school. I do not drink and don’t plan on drinking when prom time comes around. My problem is, I’m not sure whether or not my date will want to. I don’t want to be around alcohol, and I especially do not want to have a drunk date I have to sober up before I can take her home, which might upset her parents if it’s after curfew.

So how do I find out if my potential prom date is a drinker before I ask her to the prom?

— Doesn’t Drink in South Carolina Dear Doesn’t Drink: I assume you won’t be inviting a total stranger. Start talking with some of the girls you’re considering inviting and ask them how they feel about drinking alcohol.

Or let them know how you feel

DEAR ABBY about drinking, and that you don’t like hanging around with people who do.

P.S. If you do find yourself with a girl who gets drunk, you should have no hesitation about returning her to her parents in that condition. And if you get any grief, point out that you are cold sober and their daughter imbibed against your wishes, too.

Then let them deal with her.

Dear Abby: I have been with my girlfriend for a couple of years. During this time, I have become increasingly convinced that if I were ever to leave her, she would kill herself.

I love her, but the thought that I couldn’t ever leave her without her killing herself is not pleasant. She doesn’t have many friends she can rely on. I always tell her how pleased I am when she hangs out with friends without me, because she doesn’t do it often enough.

What do I do when the girl I love makes serious threats of suicide if I were ever to break up with her?

— Hostage in Texas Dear Hostage: Here’s what you do: Tell her that what she is saying is crazy thinking, and that if she’s being serious she needs to discuss her hyper-dependence with a mental health professional. You should also tell her that unless she does so immediately, your relationship with her is on borrowed time. Your signature speaks volumes, because as long as this woman can subject you to emotional blackmail — and that’s what she is doing — you are, indeed, her hostage.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

“The Tudors” 9 tonight, Showtime In the fourth and final season of “The Tudors,” King Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) takes the fifth — wife, that is. She’s Katherine Howard (Tamzin Merchant), a 15-year-old with a dubious sexual past. Something tells us this won’t end well.

“The Diary of Anne Frank” 9 tonight, OPB Airing on Holocaust Remembrance Day is a new adaptation of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” This presentation, starring Ellie Kendrick as the title character, contains diary passages that were previously excised by the family.

“Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business” 9 tonight, VH1 This reality series follows siblings as they assume more control of their pop careers while their manager (and mom) attempts to slip into the background.

“Treme” 10 tonight, HBO The people who brought you “The Wire” return to prime time with this absorbing, character-driven drama series set in post-Katrina New Orleans.

“Treme,” named for the neighborhood where jazz was born, follows a large group of fictional citizens as they struggle to get back on track after the storm drastically alters their lives. Two “Wire” veterans, Wendell Pierce and Clarke Peters, are among the excellent

cast, which also features Khandi Alexander, Steve Zahn, Melissa Leo, Kim Dickens and John Goodman. The series launches with an 80-minute opener that finds cashstarved trombonist Antonie Batiste (Pierce) chasing hard-to-find gigs wherever he can.

“The Big Bang Theory” 9:31 p.m. Monday, CBS It’s a night of conflict on “The Big Bang Theory.” Sheldon once again battles his nemesis, Will Wheaton, this time in a bowling match. Meanwhile, Leonard and Penny have a fight that could doom their relationship.

“CSI: Miami” 10 p.m. Monday, CBS MTV has taught us that spring break is supposed to be a time of scantily clad bliss. But on “CSI: Miami,” student bodies are quickly piling up — and not from sunstroke.

“Glee” 9:28 p.m. Tuesday, Fox It’s time once again to sing the praises of “Glee,” which returns after a long hiatus. But the budding relationship between Finn and Rachel hits a snag when the latter becomes involved with a rival crooner (Jonathan Groff).

CREATIVE LIGHTING

“Ugly Betty” 10:01 p.m. Wednesday, ABC We’ve already said goodbye to Betty’s braces. Now it’s time to say good-bye to Betty as “Ugly Betty” ends its Emmy-winning run. The farewell episode will feature familiar faces from the past and, if the rumors are true, a wedding.

“Supernatural” 9 p.m. Thursday, The CW “Supernatural” has reached 100 episodes, and it still gives us the creeps. Tonight, Sam and Dean are horrified when they learn of the angels’ new game plan, and they realize they must take on Zachariah (Kurt Fuller) in order to prevent an all-out war on Earth.

“Saturday Night Live in the 2000s: Time and Again” 9 p.m. Thursday, NBC “Saturday Night Live in the 2000s: Time and Again” is a retrospective of the sketch show’s signature moments from the recent past. Included are appear-

ances by Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon and others.

“Wife Swap” 8 p.m. Friday, ABC “Wife Swap” produces another wacky twist as a survivalist family preparing for the end of the world in 2012, trades with an optimistic Livermore, Calif., clan that dotes on its kids, particularly a teen golf prodigy.

“Patricia Cornwell’s The Front” 9 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime The best-selling crime writer gets more TV treatment. This time, ambitious D.A. Monique Lamont (Andie MacDowell) is drawn to the 40-year-old murder of a young, blind woman.

Diahann Carroll also stars.

BUDDY Buddy is a sweet 7 year old Shepherd mix looking for a home he can call his own. He was surrendered to the shelter because he was too active for his owner and they were just not able to get him the exercise he needed.

Buddy will do best in a home with no young children or cats but he does get along with other dogs. A meet and greet with potential doggie friends is suggested.

P P Forgotten ATM card returned, thanks to honest citizen On March 25, I stopped at the US Bank ATM. I had just discovered a bolt in one of my tires and was a little distracted by it. When my transaction at the bank was done, I left without taking my VISA/debit card.

Not long after, on my way to Les Schwab Tire Center, I realized this and immediately headed back to the ATM. All the way there, I thought about what my chances were at getting my card back. I started going over in my mind what may happen when someone found it and knew time was of the essence if I needed to cancel it.

Upon arriving back at the ATM, I wasn’t too surprised to find the card gone, however very disappointed. I then drove over to the US Bank drive-through and explained to a representative what had happened.

She checked, and, hallelujah, my card had been turned in!

A warm thank-you to whoever found my card and turned it in to the bank for me. Not only

was it a relief, it was a great feeling to know there are wonderful, honest people in our community.

I have always known this but on that day it was a reminder.

Thanks again for taking the time.

C4 Sunday, April 11, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Ellensburg Continued from C1 The stone phoenix oversaw the work from its perch high above Fourth Avenue.

Before 1889 was over, dozens of new brick commercial buildings had been completed. Eighteen of them today form the core of downtown Ellensburg’s National Historic District, which also includes numerous other buildings erected before the First World War.

A capital idea Had it not been for the Great Fire, Ellensburg — and not Olympia — may have been chosen as the capital of the new state of Washington.

Known as Robber’s Roost when John Shoudy built a trading post here in the early 1870s, the town was platted in 1875 and named by Shoudy for his wife, Mary Ellen. It was incorporated in 1883, and when the Northern Pacific Railroad came through town in 1886, fueled by a major coal find in the Cascade foothills just 25 miles to the northwest, economic prognosticators saw Ellensburg’s potential as almost limitless. Its central location — 110 miles from Seattle, 174 from Spokane — made it an appealing place to become Washington’s capital when statehood was granted in November 1889.

The fire shattered that dream.

But it didn’t stop Ellensburg’s growth. Within two years, the city had established a teacher’s college, Washington State Normal School. Today, that institution is Central Washington University, whose more than 10,000 students are visible everywhere in a town, where the official population is less than 18,000.

The story of Ellensburg’s pioneer tenacity is well told at the Kittitas County Historical Museum. Its exhibit rooms meander through the 1889 Cadwell Building and a series of adjacent structures at the corner of Third Avenue and Pine Street. Collections of antique automobiles, porcelain dolls, pioneer medical equipment and historical photographs are among the exhibition highlights, along with such other assorted items as a largerthan-life RCA Victor dog, his ear cocked to hear absent 1950s-era music.

Four miles east of Ellensburg, Olmstead Place State Park encompasses a 217-acre working farm that dates from the earliest years of pioneer settlement in the area. The original 1875 log cabin still stands on the property, not far from the 1908 farmhouse furnished with the belongings of the Olmstead family. The family donated the farm to Washington State Parks in 1968. Antique farm equipment surrounds the big red barn that stands a halfmile south of the homestead.

The pioneer farm continues to be worked today, often with original machinery. Free public tours are offered weekend afternoons from Memorial Day to Labor Day; during the school year, students may enjoy field trips that include demonstrations of butter churning and rides aboard a covered wagon. Year-round, visitors may hike a ¾-mile trail from the barn, past restored historic gardens, to an old schoolhouse.

Chimps on campus The center of life in Ellensburg is the university. It sprawls across 380 acres just north of downtown. Barge Hall, built in 1893 as the original CWU building, remains a landmark facing University Avenue on the south side of campus. It contrasts sharply with the school’s new (in 2006) $58 million student union and recreation center.

In the center of the CWU campus is a small but handsome Japanese garden, designed by famed landscape architect Masa Muzano. Other sights of note include the Leah Polacek Butterfly Garden, which features an interpretive walk through native foliage that describes the life cycle of a butterfly; and the Sarah Spurgeon Gallery in Randall Hall, displaying contemporary art, including graduate students’ thesis projects.

A favorite venue for animal lovers is the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute. Established by psychology professors Roger and Deborah Fouts, CHCI is the home of three middle-age chimps: Tatu, 34; Dar, 33; and Loulis, 31. Visitors are welcome (by reservation) to attend one-hour educational workshops known as Chimposiums, held on weekends from March through November.

I knew little or nothing about chimp communication before visiting the institute. By the time I left, I had learned nonaggressive body language, and I could sign a half-dozen words with the

Suncadia Resort The new kid on the block in Washington’s Kittitas County is the Suncadia Resort. In a region with few quality lodging options beyond franchise motels, it stands head and shoulders above other accommodations.

Owned and operated by Destination Hotels and Resorts, whose 25 U.S. properties include the Skamania Lodge on the Washington side of the Columbia River, the resort complex is located just off I-90 between Cle Elum and Roslyn, 80 miles east of Seattle and 30 miles northwest of Ellensburg. Similar in some respects to Central Oregon’s Sunriver Resort, it sprawls across 6,300 acres of forested Cascade foothills, on both sides of the Cle Elum River.

Although work on this familyfriendly resort began in 2003, it’s only been in the last two years that Suncadia has truly emerged. In 2008, it opened an expansive swim-and-fitness

C OV ER S T ORY center, an upscale spa, tennis courts and a dog park. On a brief tour of the complex, I visited the 18-room Inn at Suncadia, used primarily for weddings and retreats, and the elegant 225-room Lodge at Suncadia, whose giant lobby windows afford a marvelous view of the Cascades.

There are also two 18-hole golf courses (one of them only half completed); a third course is surrounded by the private Tumble Creek residential community, where black bear and cougar sightings are not uncommon.

Before leaving, I enjoyed a light meal at Suncadia’s Portals restaurant, where prices are moderate (a healthy Thai beef salad cost me $15) and the wine list is expertly prepared. And it’s likely to get better, as the spectacular new Swiftwater Cellars winery is nearing completion on resort grounds atop an old coal mine. Its opening is scheduled for this fall.

— John Gottberg Anderson

One of three 18-hole golf courses winds along the base of the Cascade Range through the new Suncadia Resort, between Cle Elum and Roslyn. Owned and operated by Destination Hotels and Resorts, the family-friendly complex has 243 moderately priced rooms and several dining spots.

The grave of Washoe, a chimpanzee who was the first nonhuman known to have acquired a human language, stands outside the entrance to the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute in Ellensburg. Washoe’s adopted son, Loulis, learned sign language from her and other chimps.

Waves of Newport

A quirky oasis of art in downtown Ellensburg, Wash., is Dick and Jane’s Spot, reflecting the creativity of artist Richard (Dick) Elliot, who died in 2008. Noted for his montages of colorful traffic reflectors, Elliot lived in the house with his wife, artist Jane Orleman, who continues to paint wall-sized murals. to learn human language from other chimpanzees. Although all the chimps gesture and vocalize as they would in the wild, they interact with humans and each other through American sign language, making requests, answering questions, and describing objects and activities.

Exploring the arts

Olmstead Place State Park, east of Ellensburg, has been a working family farm since 1875. Original machinery is still used today for demonstrations that are offered at no charge on summer weekend afternoons. resident chimps.

Full-time staff and graduate students explained that CHCI owes its existence to one female chimpanzee: Washoe, who died in 2007 at the age of 42. Washoe was the first nonhuman known to have acquired a human language. Born in west Africa, kidnapped as an infant in 1965, she was rejected for NASA astronaut training but was rescued by University of Nevada-Reno professors Allen and Beatrix Gardner.

They “cross-fostered” the young ape from the age of 10 months in the same manner as a human child, teaching her human behavior and American sign language. Eventually she

developed a vocabulary of about 250 words.

In 1970, Washoe went to the University of Oklahoma to live with the Foutses. They relocated to Ellensburg in 1980, taking with them Washoe; her adopted son, Loulis; and Moja, since deceased.

A year later, they were joined by Tatu and Dar. Initially, the animals lived on the third floor of CWU’s psychology building; the new complex in which they now live was completed in 1993.

Like Washoe, Tatu and Dar learned sign language through human interaction. Loulis, however, was not cross-fostered.

Adopted by Washoe as a son, he is considered the first chimp

Ellensburg is also a magnet for the arts. First Friday gallery walks are highly anticipated events at downtown art galleries, including the outstanding Gallery One Visual Arts Center.

This nonprofit community arts center offers a wide range of classes and rotating exhibits, as well as a gift shop that sells the work of area artists while raising money for gallery programs.

Virtually next door is the Clymer Museum of Art, a tribute to Western painter John Ford “Junior” Clymer (1907-89). Born and raised in Ellensburg, he was best known for his magazine covers, including 80 that he did for the Saturday Evening Post in the 1940s and ’50s. Several dozen Clymer originals are on permanent display in the spacious museum, along with changing exhibits of other artists specializing in Americana.

C OV ER S T ORY From previous page But Ellensburg’s most intriguing location for art lovers has got to be Dick and Jane’s Spot. The home (since the mid-1970s) of Jane Orleman and her late husband, Richard Elliot, this shrine of creative folk art at the corner of First Avenue and Pearl Street gives onlookers cause for reflection. Indeed, it’s the reflectors that really make the work shine.

By day, before he retired to devote full time to his art, Dick Elliot was a public-works official.

That gave him access to an endless supply of small, round traffic reflectors in multiple colors — red, orange, blue, green — as well as ceramic insulators and other seemingly artless objects.

By geometrically arranging the explosive colors to directly reflect natural and artificial light, he developed an art form that today may be seen everywhere from Seattle-area light-rail stations and airport baggage claims to Times Square in New York City.

Elliot died in 2008. Today, Dick and Jane’s Spot remains the home and studio of Orleman, who will sometimes invite visitors into the house to see more reflector art as well as her own wall-sized murals. Several of the oil paintings, I observed, wedded metaphysical philosophy with her continuing love affair with her late husband, including one titled “Navigating the Waves of the Space-Time Continuum.”

Outside, some three dozen artists have provided their own contributions to the house and its landscape, especially the surrounding fence. The full, fanciful picture inspires many passers-by to jot their own observations in a guest book that sits in a covered kiosk on the edge of the property, beneath a sign reading, “What Is This Place?”

Come next month, Dick and Jane’s Spot will get plenty of attention during the annual Ellensburg National Western Art Show and Auction to be held May 21 to 23. Now in its 38th year, the show features more than 100 artists of national renown.

It’s just one event that underscores a love of the Old West.

Each February, the Spirit of the West Cowboy Gathering features original cowboy poetry and music. In September, the Ellensburg Rodeo will celebrate its 87th incarnation, drawing top riders from across the country.

A small but handsome Japanese garden, designed by landscape architect Masa Muzano, stands at the heart of the Central Washington University campus. Nearby is a butterfly garden with an interpretive walk.

Carpenter House recalls the heyday of the coal mines. Once the home of banker Frank Carpenter, it was donated by his descendants in 1989, with its original furnishings, to the Northern Kittitas County Historical Society. Today, it is maintained by the High Country Artists, who also keep a gallery in the house.

The region’s last mine closed in Roslyn in 1963, but this village of 1,000 people has changed very little in the past half century. It is perhaps best known today as

the location where “Northern Exposure,” a Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning television series of the early 1990s, was filmed.

For five CBS seasons, Roslyn’s ramshackle wooden buildings became Cicely, Alaska; the cast featured Rob Morrow, Janine Turner and John Corbett.

Immigrants from more than two dozen countries came to this area to work the coal mines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A large number were from Eastern Europe. Their names can be read on plaques that surround the Roslyn Coal Miners Memorial in the heart of town.

Hundreds of miners died in dark subterranean passages.

They were buried in the 26 adjacent ethnic cemeteries — Lithuanian, Croatian, Polish, Slovak, Serbian and many others — that spread across 15 acres of hillsides on the west side of the town. The intriguing Roslyn Museum tells many of their stories through photographs, mine diagrams and a variety of early coal-mining equipment.

The museum also provides a map of sites associated with “Northern Exposure” to any visiting fans. Among them is The Brick, a tavern that played a key role in the TV program. It has been operating continuously since 1889, longer than any other establishment in Washington, which, in the minds of some, may make it a more distinctive structure than Ellensburg’s Davidson Building.

ATTRACTIONS

Although the mural on the side of the Roslyn Cafe depicts a camel, the opening credits of “Northern Exposure,” a 1990s TV show filmed in Roslyn, featured a moose named Mort. To keep the captive animal from escaping, several blocks of the downtown area were fenced.

The way West Ellensburg may not be the capital of Washington, but it is the seat of Kittitas County, which stretches west from the Columbia River to Snoqualmie Pass, at the summit of the Cascade Range. Embracing the Upper Yakima River valley, it boasts several worthy attractions not far off Interstate 90, the main route between Central Washington and Puget Sound.

At the little community of Thorp, six miles west of Ellensburg, the Thorp Grist Mill recalls the region’s early agricultural history. Built in 1883, powered by a millrace off the Yakima River, it provided flour for pioneer residents and feed for livestock.

Today the mill, which operated until 1946, has been beautifully restored; interpretive signs lead visitors through a self-guided tour.

The county’s second-largest town is Cle Elum, whose 2,000 citizens make their homes 23 miles northwest of Ellensburg.

Like adjacent Roslyn, another two miles northwest, Cle Elum (pronounced “klee-EL-um”) was founded with the coming of the Northern Pacific Railroad in 1886, after large deposits of soft coal were discovered underlying the region. But as coal-powered engines were replaced by diesel fuel, the coal market shriveled up and died.

Darwin Continued from C1 Darwin’s work has grown into a field of science called biogeography, the study of how life varies from place to place. “This biogeographical approach has started to be used to understand the human body,� he said. “It turns out that we are not individuals. We’re ecosystems. We’re covered with, and filled with, little tiny forms of life. “That’s just part of the natural human state, and you can think of us, in a way, as an archipelago. Different parts of our bodies host different forms of life. We’re just beginning to understand what that means.�

He explains that some scientists have described the microbes on the human forehead as living in a desert. “There are so few forms of life. And yet the inside of your elbow is like a rainforest; so diverse.�

Understanding what lives in and on us, and understanding the implications of those variations, may help understand how we as humans function, how we stay healthy or become ill.

An ecologist by training, Bohannan first became interested in microbial ecology as a graduate student. “We knew so little about these tiny forms of life. We had no idea at the time, when I was training as an ecologist, how microbial life varied from place to place, and what determined whether there was a large number of species or a small number of species; if there were Amazon rainforests, essentially, for bacteria. The lack of understanding was really motivating for me.�

When he started as a professor at Stanford University, where he taught for nine years before moving to Oregon, he realized early on that “we knew even less about the microbes in our bodies than we knew about microbes in the dirt or ocean,� he said.

Now, “people are starting to think about using this for forensics in a kind of ‘CSI’/ microbiology sort of way,� he

“This biogeographical approach has started to be used to understand the human body. It turns out that we are not individuals.

We’re ecosystems.

We’re covered with, and filled with, little tiny forms of life.� — Brendan Bohannan, University of Oregon professor

said. “The field is growing incredibly rapidly, but we’re still at sort of the stage Darwin was at when he did his voyage on the Beagle. We’re documenting patterns, and we’re cataloging who’s there. There’s just these hints that who’s there may make a really big difference in how our bodies function.�

One study at Washington University in St. Louis provided evidence that obesity could be linked to the things growing in a person’s large intestine. “Certain assemblages of different species promoted weight gain over others,� he said.

Bohannan’s talk is part of the ongoing “Darwin’s Legacy — 200 Years of Insights and Challenges� series in Bend and Sunriver. The next event is “Evolution of God: Can We Believe in Both?� with Peter Hess at 6:30 p.m. June 17 at Wille Hall on the Central Oregon Community College campus in Bend. Hess is the faith project director of the National Center for Science Education and co-author of “Catholicism and Science.�

So, what’s ‘The Big To-Do’?

Drive-By Truckers steer to No. 1

By Jonathan Takiff Philadelphia Daily News

They’ve been critics’ faves for more than a decade, treasured for the compelling story lines, infectious tunes and thematic arcs running through their albums.

Now, the Drive-By Truckers seem to be busting out with the general public as well. The Alabama-spawned, Georgia-based twang-rockers’ spanking-new and highly entertaining album, “The Big To-Do,” filled with songs about wobbling on a tightrope and clinging to family for support, landed two weeks ago in the No. 1 slot on Billboard’s Indie chart and at No. 22 on the Top 200 Chart. It’s the band’s best showing in the 14 years the members have been together.

Better yet, the Truckers keep playing to bigger and ever more enthusiastic crowds from here to Australia, said guitarist/composer/singer Mike Cooley (just Cooley to his friends) in a chat recently.

We caught up the morning after their appearance on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” where the band had performed a funny Cooley original about a “Birthday Boy” who’s been given a sexy woman as a present, and a few hours before their sold-out show at New York’s Webster Hall.

You guys don’t really like to be referred to as Southern rock or country rock. Why is that?

It’s not something we absolutely hate, but those terms means different things to different people. There’s something that automatically comes to mind when you say that. So, it’s sort of a stereotype, which is not what we are.

We love that stuff and those people, and certainly some of our stuff fits those descriptions.

But we like to take it one song at a time and prefer to just call ourselves a rock ’n’ roll band. You know, the Rolling Stones had quite a few country songs, too, but you’d never call them a country-rock band.

Q: A:

Q:

You and co-founder Patterson Hood come from

Muscle Shoals, Ala., where Fame Recording Studios was a melting pot for all kinds of talent and styles coming to record from here and there, North and South, from Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding to Waylon Jennings and Duane Allman.

And Hood’s dad, David, was the house bassist for a lot of the great sessions, right? How much of an influence was all that on you guys?

More lately than back when we were growing up, actually. All that mixing of styles was going on in the studios, behind the scenes. It was an integrated thing that wasn’t part of the local culture, not something you saw everywhere you went. I heard songs for years, by big stars, that I never knew were recorded right there and down the road in Memphis. It’s become more of an influence on us since then.

A:

Is that what inspired you to record as the backing band for Booker T. Jones (of Booker T & the MGs fame) on last year’s “Potato Hole” album and with soul singer Bettye LaVette on her comeback album, “Scene of the Crime”? And how did it feel playing (MG’s guitarist) Steve Cropper to Booker T’s keyboards?

Cropper is one of my favorite players. If you’re going to get into that R&B/soul guitar you have to study him, probably first.

He’s always had a great sound, a real greasy style. But I didn’t go in trying to be Steve Cropper.

That would be ridiculous.

With Bettye LaVette, that was the first time we ever did anything like that. We had to learn on the fly, establish a relationship and a chemistry in a day or two.

So we brought in (famed country/soul keyboardist-composer) Spooner Oldham to help bridge that gap of our generations.

Q:

A:

Does it stress you guys out being the critics’ darlings?

How do you keep coming up with the big album concepts that reviewers love?

(Laughs) It’s always been said that being critics’ favorites is the kiss of death. It’s

Q: A:

not that surprising they like us, though. If you read enough reviews, you get an idea that the kind of songs they like are the kind we like. I tend to favor stuff — books and movies, as well as music — that has really vivid imagery, with characters so honest, revealing, self-deprecating it almost makes you cringe.

As for the concept-album business, the “Southern Rock Opera” thing (analyzing the rise and fall of Lynyrd Skynyrd as symbolic of the South’s rise and fall) was something we talked about ahead of time, as were the themes in the “Decoration Day” and “Dirty South” albums, to a degree.

But on the last couple of records, it’s just naturally fallen into place. Maybe it has to do with the fact we’re together so much, seeing the world through the same windows and the conversations we’re having. So then you go home and write songs with that in the back of your mind.

A lot of this record is about people trying to hold it together.

It’s kind of symbolic of the times.

But out of the same sessions came another set of songs that we’ve decided to put together as an album called “Go Go Boots.”

Its our R&B murder-ballad album. We’ll probably push that back to next year.

You guys were ahead of the curve in establishing an online presence, building a fan base without a record label and manager. How did that come to pass?

It’s true. We were in early.

We put the band together in the 1996-98 period when the Internet was kind of taking shape and we had a site manager, Jen Bryant, who was already doing Web design for a living. So we were able to get a really good site together, all on our own, for very little money.

We started to feel the impact immediately. It would be a long time before we were drawing a crowd, but there would always be five people there, no matter where we went, who knew who we were. We weren’t just shooting in the dark.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, April 11, 2010: This year, you will want to tune in to your inner voice more often.

Your sixth sense homes in on what is going on. No matter what happens, you can trust that you will land on your feet. You are carrying a lucky rabbit’s foot. A life cycle is completed by your next birthday; be honest about what isn’t working. Next year, you will christen a new luck cycle.

Start it right. If you are single, check out new people with care.

Someone might not be what he or she seems. If you are attached, the two of you will love your special time together. PISCES makes a great doctor for you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH An innate sense that you need to spend some time alone is right-on. Of course, you might want to share your seclusion with a special person who is easy to be around. Guard your peace, and don’t answer your cell phone. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Certainly you cannot say you are alone. Many people seek you out. A friend insists you join him or her. Respond to this request. You might be surprised by what evolves and how you feel. Tonight: Where the action is. You have a lot to smile about.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Others respect your decisions and often lean on your strength and decisiveness. An opportunity heads in your direction that you simply cannot and will not say no to. Someone you admire feels the same way about you.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Read between the lines.

You might want to note what isn’t being said. Meet a friend halfway and go on an outing together.

Think “travel.” Think “vacation.”

Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Work with a partner or friend directly. You might not be comfortable with everything that this person wants. But you decide not to confront the situation, as it really isn’t that significant ultimately. Accept rather than reject. Tonight: Opt for closeness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Let others make the decisions. You are going along for the ride, nothing more. With an easy attitude, you’ll discover just how much fun you can have with a certain person and his or her crowd. Tonight: Enjoying the ride.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Sometimes, as extroverted and as social as you are, you still want to pull back and do your thing. Complete a project or tackle your taxes. Whatever you do, you might feel overwhelmed.

Tonight: Do for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Holding back could be close to impossible. Do avoid

taking a bold risk, even if you feel lucky. Remember, you always have to be ready to deal with the damages. If you are single and want to keep that status, you might need to dodge Cupid’s arrow. Tonight: Don’t think about tomorrow. Live for today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Personal or domestic matters take priority. You could be overwhelmed by everything that you need to handle. Some of you might be working on your taxes, too. Whatever you are doing, you will feel great when you’re done. Tonight: Make it easy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Do a round of Sunday calls and touch base with those you don’t speak to frequently.

Touching base makes everyone feel good. In fact, so much so that you could start planning a get-together. Tonight: You don’t have to go far.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be aware of your spending or, rather, the potential dent you are creating in your checkbook.

Do you really want to do this?

Is this expenditure worth the cost? Only you can answer that question. Tonight: Your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your personality melts another person’s resistance. Use your innate warmth and caring to ease tension. You seem unusually lucky right now. Focus on what you want. A parent or older friend pays you an enormous compliment. Tonight: As you like. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Finding the musical hidden in a punk album

By Patrick Healy

“American Idiot” has now reached Broadway as one of the most anticipated musicals of the spring, set to open April 20, and Mayer’s belief in the power of Green Day’s explosive melodies and anguished lyrics is being put to the test. (At two recent preview performances many audience members cheered loudly after several numbers and stood to applaud at the end.)

There is even less dialogue in the Broadway production than in the tryout at Berkeley Repertory Theater, Mayer said, a sign of his faith not only in the rock opera form but also in the potential of punk rock to move audiences of any age or musical taste.

“The 13 songs on ‘American Idiot’ contain a complete emotional journey,” said Mayer, joined in the interview in the theater’s upstairs lounge by Green Day, the creative team and the cast. “My idea all along was to keep the 13 songs in their original order and to interrupt it at times with other Green Day songs and the sparest of dialogue, because I didn’t want to have any extraneous words.

“I love the way the actors are delivering the lines,” he added, “but the voice of the show is Green Day.” To create a Broadway rock opera that was in the tradition of “The Who’s Tommy” (1993) and also satisfied the expectations of the band has been a carefully executed two-year undertaking.

Mayer, the Tony Award-winning director of “Spring Awakening,” a 2006 musical about embittered youth, started with one

advantage: Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead guitarist and singer of Green Day, had an affinity for theater, having learned as a boy to sing along with show tunes from musicals like “Oliver!” and “42nd Street.”

“Storytelling has always been at the heart of much of my music,” Armstrong said. Referring to himself and his two band mates, the bassist Mike Dirnt and the drummer Tre Cool, he continued: “When we started working on the ‘American Idiot’ album, we talked about doing a mini-opera, and each of us wrote 30-second songs about exactly where we were in our lives. I had gotten a DUI, so I was down at the police station. Mike was at the studio by himself, and Tre was arguing with his ex-wife. And we started seeing this arc of a story that we felt we wanted to tell.”

The album’s narrative thread entwines two dissipated characters, named Jesus of Suburbia and St. Jimmy, but Mayer felt the music and lyrics supported a larger story about disaffected youth disgusted with George W. Bush, the news media and authority figures. He decided to build the musical around a tight-knit group of young men — partly inspired by the long friendships of the Green Day members, he said, though with fictional story lines for Johnny, Tunny and Will.

In the spring of 2008, Green Day gave Mayer exclusive rights for six months to develop a concept for the musical. Tom Kitt, who came onboard to create orchestrations, recalled proceeding cautiously in exploring how to spread Green Day’s melodies and lyrics among a large cast (now 19) while also being sensitive to how the band might want its songs performed.

“At our first workshop with Green Day in 2008 I wanted to show that if they really needed to see their album up onstage as is, we could do that, but there were also possibilities here,” Kitt said.

The first song he presented was “Whatsername,” intended as the musical’s finale (as it is on the album). While Green Day’s version has a hard-edged, metallic sound, Kitt created a piano and cello arrangement that packs a more direct emotional wallop.

“They flipped over that,” Kitt said of the band members, “and I said to Michael: ‘This is a great sign. We can open up the album and take some chances.’”

Soon after, Mayer flew to London to see the play “Black Watch” and its choreographer, Steven Hoggett, who had drawn intensely physical performances from actors playing a Scottish regiment in Iraq. The two men discussed ways to reflect a thrashing punk sensibility in a musical other than through traditional song and dance.

“I imagined what it would be like being a Green Day fan and seeing a Green Day show as a musical, and I knew there

New York Times News Service

As they assessed the preBroadway tryout of the new musical “American Idiot” in California last fall, the director, Michael Mayer, and his creative team kept coming back to the same question: Should they add more dialogue to flesh out the tormented journeys of the three main characters or continue to rely on the songs — by the band Green Day — to do the storytelling?

At 95 minutes, perhaps the musical could be clarified by giving more lines to the best friends at its core: Johnny, whose pursuit of big-city life is hobbled by drug addiction; Tunny, whose intoxication with patriotism and war has horrifying consequences; and Will, who is left behind with a pregnant girlfriend and a much-used bong.

But for Mayer, less was more, he recalled in a recent interview.

Ever since he first heard the 13 tracks on Green Day’s smash 2004 album, “American Idiot,” his dream had been to spin an ambitious rock opera out of that song list. To him no dialogue could improve on the album’s anthem of alienation, “Jesus of Suburbia”: There’s nothing wrong with me This is how I’m supposed to be In the land of make-believe That don’t believe in me.

wouldn’t be girls doing high kicks,” Hoggett said. “No one should look like they’re suddenly dancing. Rather, I started with images and shapes. Johnny’s story is all glitter and sparks, Will’s in a very dull-brown environment, and Tunny is driven and pure and then gets smashed up.”

The band members said they gave wide latitude to the musical’s creators, thought there were some creative differences, usually about sound. Mayer and Kitt recalled that the band questioned whether an acoustic guitar was the best way to start the song “She’s a Rebel,” which celebrates the vivacity of the character Whatsername.

The creators instead decided on a string trio that, they said, added whimsy and lightness.

In the number “Last Night on Earth,” one of several Green Day songs in the show that are not from the “American Idiot” album, the lovers Johnny and Whatsername shoot up heroin

Sara Krulwich / New York Times News Service

Michael Mayer, director, sits with band members from Green Day and the cast for “American Idiot” at the St. James Theater in New York in March. Mayer’s “American Idiot” has now reached Broadway as one of the most anticipated musicals of the spring, set to open April 20. supplied by the demonic St. Jimmy character.

In a “ballet of rubber tubing,” as members of Green Day have called the choreography, the lovers tie themselves together with

the kind of band that heroin addicts use to tie off body parts when finding a vein to inject. The lyrics declare, “My beating heart belongs to you.”

“To take this scene of Johnny

and Whatsername doing heroin and turn it into some of the most beautiful and evocative shapes I’ve ever seen — it was an incredible moment,” said Dirnt, the Green Day bassist. “Real theater.”

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Fighter with local ties doesn’t get to compete at UFC 112 ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — John Gunderson, a former Central Oregon resident and Redmond High graduate, did not take part in the Ultimate Fighting Championship card on Saturday because his opponent withdrew.

The UFC’s Web site said Paul Taylor did not fight in the lightweight mixed martial arts contest with Gunderson because of “last-minute medical issues.”

In the UFC’s first show in the Middle East and its first outdoors, heavy underdog Frankie Edgar won a unanimous decision over BJ Penn on to claim the lightweight title. Anderson Silva also successfully defended his middleweight title with a unanimous decision over fellow Brazilian Demian Maia.

Penn (15-6-1) had been the UFC’s lightweight champion since January 2008, but Edgar (12-1) picked him apart with energy and movement.

Although Penn and Edgar spent nearly the entire fight on their feet trading strikes, the 8-1 underdog even took down Penn twice, the first time Penn had been taken down in six years at lightweight. Edgar won all five rounds on one judge’s scorecard and four rounds on another.

Silva (26-4) has been the middleweight champion since October 2006. He put on a strange performance in the main event, teasing and taunting his overmatched opponent early on. Silva even stood with his hands on his hips during the second round before bloodying Maia’s face in the third.

Bend’s Horner wins international stage race Local cyclist stands atop podium in Tour of Basque Country for Team RadioShack’s first overall victory The Associated Press ORIO, Spain — American Chris Horner of Team RadioShack won the Tour of Basque Country over Alejandro Valverde after taking Saturday’s time trial.

Horner crossed the finish line eight seconds quicker than Valverde, who had a one-second advantage going into the final stage, a 13.7-mile time trial in Orio.

Horner used a better run up the Alto de Aia mountain to open a 16second advantage over Valverde, who would make up half of that on the ride down. Horner finished in 32 minutes, 33 seconds.

“I had good legs today but, honestly, the whole week I had good legs,” Horner said. “Yesterday I saved some energy because I wanted to be super today in the

time trial. Already from Day 1 in this race I was confident about this time trial.”

The American rides for the Team RadioShack squad led by Lance Armstrong, who withdrew from the Circuit de la Sarthe race this week because of an intestinal infection.

Horner finished the six stages in 23:27:30 — seven seconds quicker than Caisse D’Epargne rider Valverde, who held the overall lead for the majority of the tour.

“Last year I just missed the vic-

tory in the Tour de l’Ain because of respiratory problems. Earlier I was close, too, in the Tour de Romandie and the Tour de Suisse. Now, finally, I am on the highest place of the podium,” said Horner, who won a stage in Europe for the first time in his career. “Seventeen stage race wins is not bad, but I think this is the nicest one.”

Maxime Monfort of Team HTCColumbia was 13 seconds behind Saturday to finish third and edge teammate Michael Rogers by five seconds.

Style points DO count to Alana Dusan.

“It’s good to be able to capitalize on the other team’s mistakes,” the Mountain View softball coach said Saturday. “But earned runs always feel better.”

Dusan was feeling good indeed after her Cougars piled up 16 hits — at least one each by all nine players in the lineup — in a 14-4 Intermountain Conference victory over rival Bend High.

The win completed a home doublehead-

er sweep for Mountain View, which won 10-5 in Saturday’s opener. Two days earlier, the Cougars took advantage of seven Bend errors in an 8-2 win on the Lava Bears’ home diamond.

Dusan said that Thursday’s victory in the series opener — as with Saturday’s first game, which Mountain View won despite collecting only six hits — left her less than satisfied.

“It’s always good to get a win,” she said.

“But we want to earn every run we get,

and the second game today, we did that.

Every single player in our lineup contributed. I think that’s awesome.”

Dusan pointed out that even the Cougars’ No. 9 hitter, Jaime Clary, got into the act in the second game. Clary booked three hits, including a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning. Later in the inning, Clary scored on a sacrifice fly by Morgan Robles that ended the game via the 10-run rule.

Lee Westwood, of England, acknowledges applause on the 18th hole after his third round of the Masters in Augusta, Ga., Saturday.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — A kid no taller than a 3-iron stepped in front of his dad and leaned into the rope along the walkway between the seventh green and eighth tee. He exactly knew what he was doing.

The same move worked to perfection with three other golfers earlier that day and the kid also knew who was coming next.

“Phil,” he called out, but not too loudly. Then he smiled sweetly.

Sure enough, a golf ball came floating in his direction and just for good measure — without breaking stride — Phil Mickelson exchanged fist bumps with three fans on the other side of the walkway. No one was left without something — a nod, a smile, just a moment of eye contact. No one in the golf business works a crowd better than Lefty.

Chants of “Phil” broke out on both sides and Mickelson’s grin grew wider.

PREP ROUNDUP

Bend baseball sweeps Mountain View Bulletin staff report Backed by solid efforts on the mound, Bend High fought and scrapped to produce a pair of wins against Mountain View in an Intermountain Conference baseball doubleheader Saturday afternoon at Mountain View High School.

The Lava Bears came from behind in the first game to win 12-7, then capitalized on seven Mountain View errors in the second game to complete the sweep with an 8-1 victory.

In the first game, Alex Robinett’s two-run homer in the first inning put the Cougars on top early, and runs in the second and fourth innings put Mountain View up 6-3.

Taking advantage of two walks and three hit batters in the top of the sixth inning, Bend pulled ahead 7-6 and never looked back.

“It was a real battle after digging a hole so early,” said Bend coach Dan Weber.

Bend’s Michael Hirko recorded eight strikeouts and allowed four earned runs, and Grant Newton was three for four at the plate with three runs and two RBIs for the Bears.

In the second game, Travis Wiest registered nine strikeouts and the Bend defense limited the Cougars to a single run despite another solid game from Robinett. The junior slugger notched another home run, this time a solo shot in the sixth in-

ning — Mountain View’s only run.

Newton led Bend offensively, going two for three with two runs and two RBIs. Mountain View’s Jo Carroll was three for four with two doubles.

In other Saturday prep action: BASEBALL Pendleton. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4-4 Madras . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3-7 PENDLETON — Turner Gill’s seventh-inning solo home run was not enough to save Madras in a first-game loss, but homers by Gill and Ryan Brunner helped ensure Madras victory in the second game. Rodney Smith contributed a run-scoring double — one of 13 hits in the second game for the White Buffaloes (33 IMC, 7-5 overall).

Sisters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .10-21 Sweet Home. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0-8 SWEET HOME — The Outlaws scored a total of 31 runs and allowed the Huskies only eight hits during the nonconference doubleheader.

In the second game, Sweet Home struggled on the mound, hitting several batters. Stovall had a three-run double for the Outlaws, and Daniel Wiegand smacked two doubles. Sisters improved to 9-1 overall.

swept the Cowboys in an Intermountain Conference doubleheader, bumping Summit’s record to 3-2 in league and 4-7 overall. In the first game, the Storm’s Chase Aldridge hit a two-run double. Leading the Cowboys offense were Alex Uptain, Dayton Stafford and Parker Wooldridge, all with doubles. Summit came out swinging in the second game, scoring eight runs in the first two innings. Brennan Rooks led the charge with a two-run triple in the second inning. Uptain and Wooldridge both hit RBI doubles for Crook County. The Cowboys fell to 0-5 in league and 3-6 overall.

SOFTBALL Pendleton. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .15-3 Madras . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0-2 PENDLETON — Madras committed five errors in the first game but rebounded with tighter play and a pair of runs in the second game. The White Buffaloes (2-3 IMC, 5-6 overall), led

by Lauren Short’s double, tallied seven hits and only one error in the second game.

Crook County . . . . . . . . . . . . .10-0 Summit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0-4 PRINEVILLE — The Storm recovered from a 10-run loss in the first game to shut out the Cowgirls in the second half of the Intermountain Conference doubleheader. In the opener, Crook County widened the lead in the sixth inning with five singles and a walk. Sydney Waite led the Cowgirl offense with

two doubles and two RBIs. After switching its lineup for the second game, Summit led off with a double by Lacey Hice. Later in the first inning, Caitlin Amodeo belted a two-run single to put the Storm ahead to stay. After the split, Summit is 5-4 overall and 2-3 in league, while Crook County is 4-7 overall and 3-3 in the IMC. Sisters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8-10 Sweet Home. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2-2 SISTERS — Pitcher Dara Kosanke went the distance in both games and recorded 13 strikeouts in the first game win to lead Sisters to victory.

Kosanke logged eight strikeouts in the second game, Sisters’ sixth straight win. Carly Kreminski hit a double for the Outlaws (1-0 Sky-Em League, 92 overall).

Grant Union . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8-15 Culver . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5-8 CULVER — Errors — eight in each game — proved the Bulldogs’ undoing in the nonconference doubleheader against Class 3A Grant Union.

Amanda Treadway had four hits and Kymber Wofford added three hits for Culver in the opener. The host Bulldogs played as the visiting team in the

NBA ROUNDUP

Nuggets suffer costly 104-85 loss to Spurs The Associated Press DENVER — The Denver Nuggets lost their cool and composure in a clunker of a performance.

Along with it may have gone any shot at the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference.

Tim Duncan had 18 points and 10 rebounds Saturday, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 10485 victory over Denver on a night when Carmelo Anthony was ejected for jawing at the officials.

Anthony wasn’t the only Nuggets player who couldn’t hold his tongue. Team leader Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith also were given technicals for arguing in a fourth quarter that got out of hand for Denver.

“It wasn’t their night. They had a tough night,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “We all have them and this was theirs.”

The loss was a blow to Denver’s hopes of securing the No. 2 seed. With Dallas beating Sacramento on Saturday, the Nuggets need to win their final two games and then receive some help.

What’s more, the loss also dropped them into a tie with Utah for the Northwest Division lead.

“Every loss at this point of the season is costly,” said Billups, who led all scorers with 27 points.

The Spurs know that all too well, turning in a forgetful performance of their own the night before against Memphis.

But this helps, winning on a court where very few teams have this season. San Antonio temporarily moved into seventh in the West, avoiding — at least for the moment — a first-round matchup with the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers.

Asked on a scale of one to 10 how bad the Spurs wanted to face the Lakers in the opening round, Popovich simply answered, “Minus-5.”

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Ryan Newman broke a 77-race Sprint Cup winless streak Saturday night at Phoenix International Raceway, taking the lead after a late caution and holding off Jeff Gordon in a two-lap shootout.

Kyle Busch was cruising to what would have given him a weekend sweep when a caution flag came out with three laps remaining. When the lead-lap cars pitted, Busch took four tires and came out eighth — behind six cars that took only two tires and Jimmie Johnson, who also took four and was seventh out of the pits.

Gordon beat everybody out of the pits, but spun his tires on the restart in a green-white-checker finish. Newman then charged inside and took the lead, and held on for his first victory since the 2008 Daytona 500.

“It’s been a long time coming for me to get to Victory Lane,”

AUTO RACING: NASCAR Newman said. “I’m gracious to be here. This is the most emotional victory I’ve ever had in my entire career just because it’s been so long.”

Newman, driving the No. 39 Chevrolet owned by Tony Stewart, had led only two laps before the final two. That lead came during the first caution only 21 laps into what became a 378-lap race — instead of the scheduled 375, already 63 more than last spring — on the oddly shaped mile track.

“I couldn’t believe it. I saw the white flag and I was like I don’t have that far to go,” Newman said. “Every restart, I had been on the inside and I couldn’t get going. ... I held my line and got a good shot off Turn 2. That’s all we needed.”

It was Newman’s 14th career victory in 303 starts, but the first

time a No. 39 car has been to Victory Lane (286 races).

Johnson, who had won four of the previous five races at Phoenix, finished third and increased his series points lead — from 14 to 36 over Matt Kenseth.

Newman snapped Hendrick Motorsports’ string of six consecutive victories at Phoenix, and gave Chevrolet its 10th straight win at the track. Chevy drivers had the top five spots, with Mark Martin fourth and Juan Pablo Montoya fifth.

Busch finished eighth in his No. 18 Toyota. Busch had taken the lead from Johnson on a restart on lap 263, then stayed in front and was seemingly on the way to his first Cup victory of the season. But the caution came out when Scott Riggs blew a right front tire — while running just ahead of Busch — and ran into the wall. Busch won the Nationwide race Friday night at Phoenix in dramatic fashion when he benefited from a late caution.

D6 Sunday, April 11, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Westwood

Mickelson

Continued from D1 “I think I’m ready,” Westwood said.

By the look of the names behind him, he better be.

Westwood, No. 4 in the world and among the best without a major, was at 12-under 204. He will be in the final group with Mickelson, No. 3 in the world and the sentimental favorite at Augusta given his turbulent year at home with his wife and mother battling breast cancer.

Right in front of them will be Woods, No. 1 in the world and playing as though five months of a humiliating sex scandal never happened. He finished with a 3foot birdie on the last hole for a 2-under 70, putting him at 8-under 208 along with K.J. Choi, who also had a 70.

“I think that’s what everybody wants to see,” Westwood said.

“Everybody has missed Tiger on the golf course the last five or six months, and he’s up there. Phil is up there. You’ve got 4, 3 and 1 in the world. It’s a good leaderboard, I think.”

The Masters hasn’t seen a leaderboard this strong for the final round since Woods and Mickelson — Nos. 1 and 2 in the world — were in the final group in 2001.

Just as exciting as the names were the endless cheers from all corners of the course, for just about everyone but Westwood.

Over the final hour, his only birdie was a two-putt from 25 feet on the 15th. Ho-hum.

“The only thing I can control is what I do, where I hit it,” Westwood said. “The guys up on the leaderboard there are great players. They are going to do something. You have to expect the unexpected at times.”

It got so crazy at one point that in the time it took Westwood to play the 11th hole with a hardearned par, Mickelson made up four shots on him with an 8-foot eagle putt on the 13th and holing out a wedge on the 14th.

Barnes knocked in his birdie from behind the 13th green, and even more impressive was his 60-foot birdie putt across the 14th green.

The thrills never stopped.

“It was probably one of those great days in golf at a major championship,” Westwood said.

“I obviously wasn’t privy to the things you have seen, but I was well aware somebody was making a charge, and I figured it was Phil. That’s what major championships are about. They’re tough ones to win because great players do great things.”

The course was not meant to yield so many fireworks — no one shot better than 67 — yet the quality of the play was superb. Westwood did his work on the front nine, rolling in a bending birdie putt at the first, hitting a 4-iron just over the bunker to 10 feet on the fourth and slowly starting to pull away.

Then came the cheers and the chaos.

Couples was walking off the 14th tee when he motioned at Mickelson across the 13th fair-

Continued from D1 Then he stepped onto the tee and pounded a drive way down the eighth fairway to set up his third birdie on the front nine.

But his crowd-pleasing act was just beginning.

In the span of six swings and a thousand or so yards Saturday, Mickelson turned this Masters on its head.

One minute Englishman Lee Westwood was threatening to run away with the tournament and in the next, Lefty was threatening to run him over.

Mickelson rolled in an 8-footer for an eagle at No. 13, then holed his second shot at No. 14 with a 9-iron from 141 yards for another — only the third time in Masters history a golfer had made two in a row.

“I hit a good shot and thought that the ball would be close, but you obviously don’t expect for it to go in,” he said afterward.

“That was pretty cool that it did.”

His drive sailed left on 15 and forced him to punch out back to the fairway. But Mickelson’s wedge from 87 yards nearly rolled into the cup, setting up a tap-in birdie. That 4-under stretch, combined with Westwood’s bogey at No. 12, set up a cat-and-mouse game that promises to get better come today.

“I played about as well as I have in a long time,” Mickelson said after shooting 67, which left him at 11-under and trailing Westwood by a stroke. “This is the way I expect to play, but this is ... I haven’t played this way in a long time.”

It couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment.

In case you haven’t noticed, this year the Masters was billed as golf’s version of the Salem witch trials. That’s because of the sex scandal swirling around Mickelson’s biggest rival, Tiger Woods. For those who wanted to believe that how a golfer behaves off the course should have something to do with how he performs on it, Woods’ stellar play — he finished Saturday at 8-under — has been a stunning rebuke.

Yet some of those same people will point to Mickelson — nearly as popular as Woods, yet much more beloved — and argue this resurgence at Augusta National restores their faith. Unlike Tiger, he signs autographs by the

Cougars Continued from D1 Kylie Durre also had three hits in the second game for Mountain View, and Kadie Hayward and Whitney Bigby chipped in with two hits apiece for the Cougars.

Bend’s six hits included two doubles by Kaydee Tarin and two singles by Hailey Chinadle.

Kimberlee Kidder was the winning pitcher in the second game with relief help from Mikayla Bateman in the sixth inning.

Bateman was the winning pitcher in the opener, striking out six batters and allowing six hits in the complete-game victory.

The Cougars led throughout in the first game, scoring five

Tennis Continued from D1 “Everybody wants to play in a tournament like this. And everybody likes to come to Bend,” Collier explained the appeal of the dual-match format.

“The team format makes it a little bit more exciting because you’re rooting for your team,” he said. “And I do consider tennis a team sport. It’s a little different than the state tournament in that there’s more emphasis on the team competition.”

Redmond won 5-3 over Hermiston for third place, the highest finish of the six Central Oregon teams in the field. Against Hermiston, the Panthers got singles victories from Monica Johnson, Genna Miller and Mandy Dollarhide,

Tiger Woods blasts out of a bunker on the 12th green during the third round of the Masters Saturday. way to get it going. Lefty obliged with a 7-iron to 8 feet, followed by his eagle from the 14th fairway that produced such volume that Westwood backed off his putt on the 11th.

“It was pretty funny because we were texting a little bit about how low I was going to have to go to catch him and maybe play with him tomorrow,” said Couples, who was in the final group when Mickelson won his last Masters in 2006. “For a time, we were both playing pretty well. But then he went eagle-eagle-birdie, and that’s a pretty big jump to get going.

“Once again, I just love this place.”

For Woods, it was more of a love-hate relationship for most of the round. He quickly pulled within one shot of the lead with two tough birdies, from 18 feet on the first hole and a curling 35-footer on the third. Few could have guessed it would be the putter that put him behind.

It started with a bad swing and an outburst — “Tiger, you suck!”

— from a guy who pledged to keep his temper in check. From the bottom shelf of the green, Woods ran his putt 15 feet by the hole and missed that for his first three-putt bogey of the Masters.

He missed a 5-foot par on the seventh hole, then three-putted on the 10th from about 18 feet.

That’s all it took for Woods to tumble seven shots out of the lead.

And while he tried to peck away

runs in their first turn at bat. The Lava Bears rallied for three runs in the seventh before Bateman closed the door.

Leading hitters in the opener for Mountain View included Hayward with two doubles and Molly Thompson with a double and a single. Anna Bowe had two hits for Bend, including a double, and Ashley Aasland knocked a triple.

Saturday’s decisions boosted Mountain View’s record to 4-2 in IMC play and 7-4 overall. The Cougars play host to Summit on Thursday.

Still looking for their first win, the Lava Bears (0-6 IMC, 0-11 overall) travel to Hermiston for a single game on Friday and a doubleheader on Saturday.

and doubles wins from the duos of Megan McGinty/Chloe Woodward and Leslie Teater/Abby Cranston.

Also Saturday, Bend High lost early to McMinnville in the consolation semifinal round, where Mountain View fell to Sprague.

That set up an intracity clash between Bend and Mountain View for third place in the consolation bracket, and the Lava Bears prevailed 5-3.

Summit lost to Corvallis in its first match Saturday but recovered to beat Sherwood for seventh place on the championship side of the bracket.

Two other Central Oregon teams in the field, Crook County and Madras, lost consolation quarterfinal matches and faced off later Saturday, with the Cowgirls winning handily.

with birdies, Mickelson ahead of him was hammering away at eagles.

Woods two-putted the 13th, hit his approach to 3 feet on the 14th for birdie, then made an 8-foot birdie on the 15th. He was so wild at times that he played the 17th hole from the 15th fairway and almost got away with it until missing a 6-footer for par.

“After struggling just to fight back ... the guys were running away from me there,” Woods said.

“At one point, I was seven back.

So to kind of claw my way back in there where I’m only four back right now, I’m in good shape.”

He has never won a major from behind. He had never lost one from in front until Y.E. Yang rallied to beat him in the PGA Championship last summer at

Hazeltine.

From the spontaneous cheer Woods received for the opening tee shot on Thursday, the cheers have become louder throughout the week for Woods. Only on this day, they weren’t all for him.

“Those roars are Augusta roars,” said 60-year-old Tom Watson, who had a 73 to fall 10 shots behind. “I’m glad they’re back.’ ” Ian Poulter, tied for the 36-hole lead with Westwood, shot a 74 and fell six shots behind with Barnes (72) and Hunter Mahan (68). That would seem to be too far behind at any other major.

But at Augusta National?

“We have seen some strange things happen over the years,” Mickelson said. “I think tomorrow is going to be another exciting day.”

“I played about as well as I have in a long time. This is the way I expect to play, but this is ... I haven’t played this way in a long time.”

— Phil Mickelson, who is in second place at the Masters

dozens and is hardly shy about handing out souvenirs. He smiles all the time.

He became the game’s most sympathetic figure while enduring a zero-for-42 streak in the majors before breaking through to win the Masters in 2004. And he’s become more sympathetic still while trying to balance the demands of career and providing support to his wife and mother, both of whom have undergone treatment for breast cancer during the past year.

Amy Mickelson and the couple’s three kids are back traveling with Phil for the first time in months. They haven’t come to the course yet, choosing instead to stay back and watch him play on TV. “It’s really fun having them here, and it takes a lot of the heartache away,” Mickelson said.

Is Mickelson the all-around good guy the galleries adore?

If nothing else, the lesson of Woods’ stunning fall from grace reminds us that jumping to that conclusion is a risky leap. The sentiment among his peers runs the gamut, from close friends like Fred Couples who insist Mickelson is as genuine as he appears to a few who snicker behind his back that’s it’s all an act.

If Mickelson has spent even a minute this weekend worrying about his image, you wouldn’t know it from the way he sat in the interview room, beaming the whole while. At the moment, anyway, his attention is riveted on the leaderboard, which provides no details on how his rivals do what they do, only how many strokes it takes to get it done.

Oregon’s economic woes not an accident

A

week ago, a brave man gave an ominous speech.

Ted Kulongoski said the state was at the edge of an economic abyss.

Out of money, out of job creation, with a decade of huge state budget debts ahead, Oregon, he said, needs to rally to find a new path.

It was inspiring.

Don’t know about you, but such clearsighted analysis and clarion appeal made me wish he had been governor for the last eight years. The only thing better would have been to have a compliant Legislature.

If we had, at a minimum we could have averted crushing tax increases during the depth of a god-awful recession, and not increased the risk of the flight of private employers from the state, not to mention avoiding bogus spending and investment plans that cost the state tens of millions of dollars with little or no return.

After speeches like Kulongoski’s, who, I really do know, has been governor for eight years, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

At times like this, it’s tempting to take refuge in cynicism.

But, in the end, that doesn’t do any good.

What we all have to do is vow not to let politicians get away anymore with the usual pieties, whether they come from the right or left, the Republicans, the Democrats or anything in between.

The editorial board of The Bulletin is going through the process of interviewing candidates running in the May primary.

Among the others we have or will talk to are the candidates for governor. There are a bunch.

Of course, you have to be elected to actually try out your ideas, which produces an understandable reluctance to take on unnecessary foes.

Still, even by that standard, what we have heard so far is pretty predictable, and not very inspiring.

Resisting the urge to yell, “Fellas, wake up,” is becoming close to impossible.

It should be different.

There is not a single candidate who does not believe the state to be in deep trouble.

As Kulongoski himself said, the state is on the edge of an economic abyss.

The core problem is that we don’t have sufficient private job creation to generate the income taxes to pay for the public employees and services that we have.

That’s a pretty basic problem: too little revenue for too many expenses.

In our interviews we have heard “business approach to governments,” “forming study commissions,” “prioritizing government services,” and on and on.

This is a little unfair. We do hear more.

But it would be a hallelujah moment if someone came in and said the state is going to have to go through real pain to actually reduce the services it expects to provide so that it can get its taxes, fees and regulation reduced to keep and attract job-creating businesses.

It would be doubly refreshing to hear someone add that we will do this in the short run because we are the ones who created this mess and therefore we have to bear the price of putting the state in better condition for our children and their children.

But there are limits to wishful thinking.

May’s primary is not the end of the cycle by any means.

We’ll get down to just a couple of candidates for governor and other races for November’s general election.

The remark that struck the most this week was of simple truth and yet loaded with profound implications.

It came from Chris Dudley, Republican candidate for governor.

“We didn’t get here by accident,” he said, which I took to mean that we got here because we made bad policy decisions.

We didn’t ask the right, tough questions, and so we got answers that were weak and wrong. Worse, we took convenient answers and wrapped them up in morality.

The good news is that if we put people in office willing to ask the tough questions and take the heat for the right, though painful, policies, we can build our way out of this mess.

John Costa is editor-in-chief of The Bulletin.

China’s censors tackle and trip over the Internet

By Michael Wines, Sharon Lafraniere and Jonathan Ansfield • New York Times News Service BEIJING — Type the Chinese characters for “carrot” into Google’s search engine here in mainland China, and you will be rewarded not with a list of Internet links, but a blank screen.

Don’t blame Google, however. The fault lies with China’s censors — who are increasingly a model for countries around the world that want to control an unrestricted Internet.

Since late March, when Google moved its search operations out of mainland China to Hong Kong, each response to a Chinese citizen’s search request has been met at the border by government computers, programmed to censor any forbidden information Google might turn up.

“Carrot” — in Mandarin, huluobo — may seem innocuous enough. But it contains the same Chinese character as the surname of President Hu Jintao. And the computers, long programmed to intercept Chinese-language

searches on the nation’s leaders, substitute an error message for the search result before it can sneak onto a mainland computer.

This is China’s censorship machine, part George Orwell, part Rube Goldberg: an information sieve of staggering breadth and fineness, yet full of holes; run by banks of advanced computers, but also by thousands of Communist Party drudges; highly sophisticated in some ways, remarkably crude in others.

The one constant is its growing importance.

Censorship used to be the sleepy province of the Communist Party’s central propaganda department, whose main task was to tell editors what and what not to print or broadcast. In the new networked China, censorship is a major growth industry, overseen — and fought over — by no fewer than 14 government ministries.

“Press control has really moved to the center of the agenda,” said David Bandurski, an

analyst at the China Media Project of the University of Hong Kong. “The Internet is the decisive factor there. It’s the medium that is changing the game in press control, and the party leaders know this.”

Today, China censors everything from the traditional print press to domestic and foreign Internet sites; from cell phone text messages to social networking services; from online chat rooms to blogs, films and e-mail. It even censors online games.

That’s not all. Not content merely to block dissonant views, the government increasingly employs people to peddle its views online, in the guise of impartial bloggers and chatroom denizens. And increasingly, it is backing state-friendly clones of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, all Western sites that have been blocked here for roughly a year.

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER

BETSY MCCOOL GORDON BLACK JOHN COSTA ERIK LUKENS

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-chief Editor of Editorials

Restaurant ban could be bad

A

s the city of Sisters works to rewrite its development code, at least one city councilor wants to ensure that fast-food joints get their due in the process. In her mind,

that means a total of four places, or, presumably, three new ones, because there’s already a McDonald’s on the west side of town.

Even in a community that’s made clear it wants no serious competition with Mom and Pop outfits, that’s going too far.

The current code requires that food establishments with drivethrough windows — read, fast-food restaurants — be at least 400 feet apart. Councilor Sharlene Weed wants to change the rules so that, while more drive-throughs would be allowed, the city would limit the number of fast-food places to a mere four. Such things as banks and laundries would face no such restrictions.

When the issue last came up, as McDonald’s sought to open its restaurant, the concern was all about aesthetics. Yet as Sisters residents have discovered, they can pretty much control the way any new business looks, chain restaurants included. Restrictions put in place maintain the commercial district’s Western theme.

The current rules actually would allow for fewer fast-food outlets

than the rewritten ones would because they must be placed so far apart. That’s bad enough. At least, they apply to all businesses with drive-through windows, not just restaurants.

Sisters businesses should object to the change, even those who own restaurants. It’s mighty easy to target one group the community in general doesn’t like, and clearly the Burger Kings and their ilk are unpopular with Weed. Problem is, today’s favored businesses may well find they occupy a different spot a few years from now. Once the city has limited one sort of business, it might be easier to limit the next. Rather than try to keep competition at bay by severely limiting certain types of eating establishments, restaurateurs in the city should welcome the chance to prove their food’s better than the standardized stuff.

Something is rotten in the Bellotti deal N

othing smelled right about the $2.3 million buyout that University of Oregon athletic director Mike Bellotti got when he announced he was leaving. On Tuesday, UO President Richard Lariviere had nearly the best possible response.

He was forthcoming. And he vowed that the practices that were followed were unacceptable and will not be repeated.

Lariviere bluntly said he had wanted Bellotti to go as athletic director. That explains a lot.

In essence, Lariviere said managing a department with a $66 million annual budget — it had grown some $20 million in three years — requires certain skills. Bellotti’s talents are elsewhere. When Bellotti expressed interest in moving to ESPN, Lariviere thought that was the opportunity for the university to make a change.

Lariviere didn’t know the details of Bellotti’s compensation. They were established before Lariviere took his job. Like everyone else, he thought it was odd there was no contract. University lawyers told Lariviere that even though the contracts were not in writing, they were bind-

Oregon’s athletics department should be producing quality student athletes — not scandal.

Instead, it’s made donors and taxpayers suspicious about the university.

ing. Public funds are not being used to pay a penny of the $2.3 million.

And so Lariviere signed the agreement for Bellotti to go.

Of course, there’s plenty of room to critique the astonishing incompetency along the way. Somehow, there was no contract for one of the state’s highest paid public employees? It would have also been nice to know a week ago that he thought that Bellotti wasn’t the right person for the athletic director job.

Oregon’s athletics department should be producing quality student athletes — not scandal. Instead, it’s made donors and taxpayers suspicious about the university.

Lariviere couldn’t change all that Tuesday. He’s made the right moves to start.

My Nickel’s Worth Commentary left out facts The New York Times article titled “Leaving Reaganomics behind” (re-published in The Bulletin, March 28) praised “Obamacare” and Obama’s class warfare/income redistribution programs.

But while the “commentary” went to great pains to glorify big government, it conveniently ignored the fundamental achievements of the Reagan presidency: 1) Reducing taxes; and 2) Limiting government regulation.

I will highlight these achievements.

President Reagan “inherited” the Carter administration’s pitiful economy. This included: 1) 14.8 percent inflation rate; 2) High unemployment; 3) Interest rates over 21 percent; 4) Top federal tax rate of 70 percent; 5) Top tax rate on investment income of 91 percent; 6) Dow valued at under 1,000.

The achievements of Reaganomics that the Times commentary fails to recognize, since it runs counter to its leftistbig government philosophy, include: 1) Lowering inflation rates from 14.8 percent to 3.7 percent; 2) Doubling of stock market value; 3) Creating 5 million new businesses; 4) Creating 20 million new jobs.

As President Reagan said: “Government doesn’t solve problems, it subsidizes them.” Instead of having a visionary such as Reagan in office, we now have inexperienced, hard-left politicians running our country. And media such as The New York Times represent the “Cheerleaders for the Leftists.” It’s time we elected leaders who understand the way to get our economy moving again.

Reagan’s formula worked in the 1980s and can work now.

Saving money Re: Dano Saarinen’s “Unnecessary notice,” (My Nickel’s Worth, March 26): I agree that the advance mailing about the coming census form seemed unnecessary, particularly in light of the massive television/radio/print advertising campaign for the census.

However, according to U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, in spite of all the advertising, many people are unaware of the census or do not know when the form will arrive. Studies have shown that the advance notice will increase the response rate 6 to 12 percent.

The federal government will then be hiring some 700,000 workers to go doorto-door to collect missing information.

Secretary Locke estimates that for every 1 percent increase in response rate, we save $85 million.

The collection of the U.S. Census is mandated in our Constitution and legally must be completed regardless of the cost. Surely we can all see the sense in returning our census forms promptly in order to save as much tax money as possible.

Tea party responsibility I’ll admit to a fairly high level of bemusement after reading a news article in The Bulletin, March 25, titled: “Area

activists condemn harassment.” For starters, the real hoopla is about actual vandalism, attributed to agitation by tea party local chapters. Posted on their Web sites were addresses of lawmakers who support congressional health care legislation, and the call to all “true patriots” to assemble on those properties in protest.

John Carrigg of the Bend tea party, seemingly in the same breath, finds incidents of vandalism mentioned in the article troubling, while revealing the local tea party strategy for turning out the votes in November, saying, “We don’t need a brick for that; we just need to mail in that envelope and hope it’s not thrown in the garbage down at the county.”

That comment hit me right between the eyes. The inference I get is that our local governments are corrupt and unworthy of the public trust, and our neighbors who work for local government are fair game for baseless, scurrilous innuendo.

If I am led to believe that our local election officials were likely to throw my ballot in the garbage, would I conclude that a justifiable response would be the hurling of a brick at a symbol of government malfeasance? Would that be at a government employee, or at the actual brick and mortar? I’m left wondering why no follow-up questions were asked by The Bulletin’s interviewer on the heels of this inflammatory comment.

Speech does not merely describe reality. It shapes and invents it, and it is time for the tea party to own its inventions.

One man tells all about the Catholic Church’s Judas moment WASHINGTON — ’m a Catholic woman who makes a living being adversarial. We have a pope who has instructed Catholic women not to be adversarial.

It’s a conundrum.

I’ve been wondering, given the vitriolic reaction of the New York archbishop to my column defending nuns and the dismissive reaction of the Vatican to my column denouncing the church’s response to the pedophilia scandal, if they are able to take a woman’s voice seriously. Some, like Bill Donohue of the Catholic League, seem to think women are trying to undermine the church because of abortion and women’s ordination.

I thought they might respond better to a male Dowd.

My brother Kevin is conservative and devout — his hobby is collecting creches — and has raised three good Catholic sons. When I asked him to share his thoughts on the scandal, I learned, shockingly, that we agreed on some things. This is what he wrote: “In pedophilia, the church has un-

I

leashed upon itself a plague that threatens its very future, and yet it remains in a curious state of denial. The church I grew up in was black and white, no grays. That’s why my father, an Irish immigrant, liked it so much. The chaplain of the police and fire departments told me once ‘Your father was a fierce Catholic, very fierce.’

My brothers and I were sleepily at his side for the monthly 8 a.m. Holy Name Mass and the guarding of the Eucharist in the middle of the night during the 40-hour ritual at Easter. Once during a record snowstorm in 1958, we were marched single-file to church for Mass only to find out the priests next door couldn’t get out of the rectory.

The priest was always a revered figure, the embodiment of Christ changing water into wine. (Older parishioners took it literally.) The altar boys would drink the dregs.

When I was in the seventh grade, one of the new priests took four of us to the drive-in restaurant and suggested a game of ‘pink belly’ on the way back;

MAUREEN DOWD we pulled up a boy’s shirt and slapped his belly until it was pink. When the new priest joined in, it seemed like more groping than slapping. But we thought it was inadvertent. And my parents never would have believed a priest did anything inappropriate anyway. A boy in my class told me much later that the same priest climbed into bed with him in 1958 at a rectory sleepover, but my friend threw him to the floor. The priest protested he was sleepwalking. Three days later, the archbishop sent the priest to a rehab place in New Mexico; he ended up as a Notre Dame professor.

Vatican II made me wince. The church declared casual Friday. All the once-rig-

id rules left to the whim of the flock. The Mass was said in English (rendering useless my carefully learned Latin prayers).

Holy days of obligation were optional.

There were laypeople on the heretofore sacred ground of the altar — performing the sacraments and worse, handling the Host. The powerful symbolism of the priest turning the Host into the body of Christ cracked like an egg.

In his book, ‘Goodbye! Good Men,’ author Michael Rose writes that the liberalized rules set up a takeover of seminaries by homosexuals.

Vatican II liberalized rules but left the most outdated one: celibacy. That vow was put in place originally because the church did not want heirs making claims on money and land. But it ended up shrinking the priest pool and producing the wrong kind of candidates — drawing men confused about their sexuality who put our children in harm’s way.

The church is dying from a thousand cuts. Its cover-up has cost a fortune and been a betrayal worthy of Judas. The money spent came from social pro-

grams, Catholic schools and the poor.

This should be a sin that cries to heaven for vengeance. I asked a friend of mine recently what he would do if his child was molested after the church knew.

“I would probably kill someone,” he replied.

We must reassess. Married priests and laypeople giving the sacraments are not going to destroy the church.

Based on what we have seen the last 10 years, they would be a bargain. It is time to go back to the disciplines that the church was founded on and remind our seminaries and universities what they are. (Georgetown University agreeing to cover religious symbols on stage to get President Barack Obama to speak was not exactly fierce.)

The storm within the church strikes at what every Catholic fears most. We take our religion on faith. How can we maintain that faith when our leaders are unworthy of it?”

O Ongoing drama of victims, oppressors P

resident Obama, in the tradition of progressive Democratic leaders, believes government should ask the more economically fortunate citizens to be responsible for helping the less well off.

But the president seems to fail to acknowledge that there are plenty of actions an individual can take to avoid becoming part of that growing crowd of “less fortunate.” Instead, in Obama’s world, there exists a simple zero-sum melodrama of victims and oppressors.

If recent poll numbers are correct, many Americans find that life in the real world is a lot more complicated than the near-constant us vs. them rhetoric about bad-guy insurers, surgery-hungry doctors, reckless financiers, greedy bankers, heartless corporations and tight-fisted employers who con and hurt the blameless good guys now in need of Mr. Obama’s all-knowing benevolent government help.

Surely life is too complex to be such a fairy-book morality tale.

Take finance. Of course, we are all still furious at the speculators on Wall Street for the September 2008 meltdown. But not all Americans took out sub-prime mortgages for homes at in-

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON flated prices. So why must some continue to pay their underwater mortgages to keep their homes, while others, as victims, may not have to?

Everyone should pay some income tax. So, why does the administration talk about raising rates sharply and adding even more taxes on the 5 percent who already pay 60 percent of all federal income-tax revenue?

Health care also is also poorly defined by Obama’s simplistic view of a noble public victimized by a few greedy insurers. Some Americans budget $100 to $200 each month for high-deductible, private catastrophic health plans. That means they pass on some consumer purchases to ensure they won’t get stuck without coverage for an unexpected operation or accident.

In other words, people make choices on how they allot their resources, and are not always just victims who are cruelly

denied, or cannot afford, some sort of basic health insurance.

One reason so many Americans were against federalizing their health care is that those who do avoid some medical risks — alcohol and drug use, poor diet, obesity, or lack of exercise — are, in some cases, asked to pay for the health problems of those who don’t.

Obama now may take on immigration reform in the same sort of bipolar fashion. He decries the present policy toward illegal immigration and cites heartbreaking stories about workers forced to toil in the shadows by profithungry employers and an indifferent public. But again, we hear no mention

by Obama of the role of human choice and individual responsibility.

When one breaks the law by entering the United States without proper authority, and then continues to live as an illegal alien, choices are made that have many unfortunate consequences, both for self and society at large. A failure to learn English or a decision to send back thousands of hard-earned dollars to Mexico or Latin America can only compound the dilemma of living without legal certification.

In all these cases, Obama commendably wants to help the less fortunate.

But he seems to care far less for those who act responsibly — except to demonize them if they question whether it is either fair or even sometimes wise to subsidize those who at times don’t.

The president would surely improve his standing if he urged Americans to buy fewer DVDs and instead more insurance plans — or to avoid drugs and drink, or not to borrow money that they have no desire or ability to pay back, or not to enter the United States in the first place without a proper visa.

Here I do not mean just offering the usual presidential generic good advice and platitudes, but tougher talk — backed up by decisions on policy — about the inability of any government always to make right the freely incurred bad choices of its citizens.

Then when things unexpectedly get rough, my bet is the American people would be more than happy to help the unfortunate.

NEW YORK — he Labor Department announced it will investigate unpaid internships at private-sector companies to clamp down on firms violating wage laws.

“If you’re a for-profit employer or you want to pursue an internship with a forprofit employer, there aren’t going to be many circumstances where you can have an internship and not be paid and still be in compliance with the law,” said Nancy Leppink, deputy administrator of the department’s wage and hour division, according to a story in the New York Times.

The administration’s crackdown on unpaid internships is likely to encourage states such as California, Oregon and New York that are already probing possible violations of labor laws regarding companies’ internship programs.

More important, other states may now start looking into the matter, too.

It’s easy to view the action as the inevitable mischief of Democrats, irritating but not fatal. Such an attitude, however, overlooks what a blow this policy can represent to young people trying to establish careers.

Back in our parents’ or grandparents’ days, interns were mostly thought of as physicians-in-training. Eventually, an internship came to mean an initial training experience, perhaps unpaid, for people on the cusp of entering the workforce. This stepping stone to a hoped-for paid job became commonplace in many industries and a rite of passage for the college set, especially Ivy Leaguers.

These temporary positions became popular partly due to prosperity. Dur-

ing the past half century, many college students enjoyed the luxury of trying out different fields whereas previous generations had to make career choices quickly.

Unpaid internships also became more prevalent as the burdens on employers accumulated. Those burdens start with payroll taxes, which have increased to levels never anticipated by the authors of Social Security or Medicare. Then add mandates such as the

new health care taxes, which President Barack Obama described as a “moral imperative” a few days ago.

On top of all that is the proliferation of labor laws. Employers know they must follow the rules laid out in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008.

One result has been a greater hesitation to hire full-time workers. Employers have responded by filling jobs with machines, or outsourcing work abroad.

Another response, logically enough, has been to postpone hiring by using interns. Sure, there are other explanations — older people want to help those just starting out, or do a favor for someone.

All that notwithstanding, lefty labor lawyers are correct: Companies mainly hire interns because they provide cheap or free labor and because they’re easier to lay off.

What about interns themselves?

They take the positions, sometimes serially, because they see the door to the professional labor market closing and want to get their foot in before being shut out altogether. Their internship is their hope.

Declaring open season on internships will smother whatever chance there was of private employers making room for these positions. What chief executive will want to authorize an unpaid-intern program if there’s even a remote chance the action might trigger an investigation by a federal or state labor lawyer?

Presumably the government’s goal is to get businesses to start paying their interns. Don’t look for that to happen in this economy. Instead, companies

WASHINGTON — he Obama administration last month targeted villains impeding international commerce, especially China.

The Chinese, in the U.S. Trade Representative’s report, were criticized for import and procurement restrictions that discriminate against foreign competitors. The Chinese currency valuation wasn’t specifically mentioned, though that’s the context of the overall complaint. The United States also chastised the Europeans, Japan and South Korea.

These all are valid, particularly the case against China. One villain was omitted: the U.S. President Barack Obama tapped a capable trade ambassador, former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, has assembled a globally oriented economic team and has vowed to pursue an aggressive policy of open trade.

Yet 15 months into Obama’s presidency, free-trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama languish and the administration hasn’t wrapped up the so-called Doha Round of trade talks and moved to other negotiations.

An essential ingredient in creating a more robust economy, Obama has said repeatedly, is to double U.S. exports over the next five years. Kirk says that “with our renewed focus on job creation

T

The real “glitches” are unions, major Obama political supporters. and our export initiative as a way to do that, there is a critical role for passing these three pending agreements and helping us create those jobs.”

Continued inaction will doom those hopes. “It would be very hard to achieve this without these trade agreements,” says Charlene Barshefsky, who was U.S. trade representative in the Clinton administration.

Obama says he wants to push ahead with the Korean, Colombian and Panamanian trade accords as soon as a few “glitches” or “kinks” are resolved.

The real “glitches” are unions, major Obama political supporters. The new AFL-CIO president, Rich Trumka, is more protectionist than his predecessor, John Sweeney. Other influential labor leaders, such as Jim Hoffa of the Teamsters, are as adamant.

The “kinks” are congressional Democrats; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada likes to boast he never supports free-trade deals, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has let the White House know that after the wrenching health-care battle she doesn’t want to put her members through other tough votes.

There are consequences to inaction.

Over the past eight years, there have been few leaders as supportive of the U.S. as outgoing Colombian President Alvaro Uribe; he has courageously taken on the drug gangs and leftist terrorists. The country is far safer and more stable for its citizens and investors.

Obama’s National Security Council considers Colombia an important strategic counterforce to Hugo Chavez, the leader of neighboring Venezuela and an American nemesis who harbors some of the Colombian FARC terrorists. Most experts agree the Colombian agreement would result in more U.S. exports than imports.

Opponents say labor leaders are still getting bumped off in Colombia. Although violence hasn’t disappeared, it is far less severe than in the past because of the courage of Uribe, who the courts stopped from running for a third term. For the Obama administration to continue to sit on this agreement before the Colombia presidential elections next month is a slap in the face to an important American friend.

The Korean considerations are geopolitical and economic. South Korea has the fourth-largest economy in Asia.

The European Union has signed a trade agreement with Korea. The International Monetary Fund projects that more than half the global economic growth in the next dozen years or so will come from the Asian Pacific region.

I

If the U.S. wants China to dominate the region then stiffing trade agreements with Korea and others is good strategy. That’s not the Obama objective.

Beyond the economics there even are some political reasons the White House should seize the moment and seek approval of these treaties. A month ago the labor movement was demoralized, denied legislative victories and appointments. Over the last few weeks, health care, a labor priority, was passed and Obama tapped union counsel Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board, reversing years of an anti-union tilt on the panel, and infuriating much of the business community. With these victories, will labor really wage a war with Obama and other Democrats in this fall’s elections over trade?

One more point: The Obama team loves to contrast their leader and his willingness to take on tough battles with the last Democratic president — remember Bill Clinton’s triangulation?

(The tension between top Obama and top Clinton advisers is as raw as ever.)

Seventeen years ago, over the opposition of labor and reservations from Capitol Hill Democrats, President Clinton rallied support to pass the North American Free Trade Agreement. Is Obama not up to the same?

will fire them.

It’s ironic that while Leppink’s office was stomping down on interns, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis was encouraging employers to hire youngsters by talking up the administration’s $1.2 billion summer jobs program.

A broader, more troubling version of the internship story is playing out in industries such as construction. There, too, the Obama administration has sent a signal to the private sector: Employers with federal funding for their projects are expected to pay generous wages and benefits.

Since doing so is expensive, employers will tend to seek the most productive workers for those pricey jobs.

Who’s most likely to lose out? Young or minority workers, who often lack the training or experience to make them productive. This policy has been around since the Davis-Bacon Act was signed by Herbert Hoover. But back then, the entire federal government was only 5 percent of the economy, far less than now.

Obama and his team cannot be totally unaware of the future employment opportunities — white collar or blue collar — that they are stifling.

Our leaders make it clear that they see their job is to lead the nation in sacrificing economic growth in the name of that “moral imperative” the president mentioned.

When it comes to applying that rule to youth employment, the administration can pat itself on the back: another job well done.

It’s time to challenge the labor unions

By Albert R. Hunt

Who’s up for building bridges? ’m no expert on American politics, but I do know something about holes.

And watching the way the Republican Party is reacting to the passage of health care, it seems as if the GOP is violating the first rule of holes: “When you’re in one, stop digging.”

Yes, I know, the polls show that the GOP is not being hurt by its “just-sayno” strategy. But there is no groundswell moving its way either. Republicans will have to come up with more than “justsay-no-to-everything-except-lower-taxes-and-more-drilling” to field a credible 2012 presidential candidate. Here’s why: If you step back far enough, you could argue that George W. Bush brought the Reagan Revolution — with its emphasis on tax cuts, deregulation and government-as-the-problem-not-the-solution — to its logical conclusion and then some.

But with a soaring deficit and a banking crisis caused by an excess of deregulation, Reaganism has met its limit. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama’s passage of health care reform has brought the New Deal- Franklin Roosevelt Revolution to its logical conclusion. There will be no more major entitlements for Americans.

The bond market will make sure of that.

In other words, both major parties have now completed their primary 20th-century missions, first laid down by their iconic standard-bearers. The real question is which party is going to build America’s bridge to the 21st century — one that will strengthen our ability to compete in the global economy, while practicing much more fiscal discipline.

Obama is at least trying to push an agenda for pursuing the American dream in these new circumstances. He’s clearly trying. I do not get that impression from the Republicans, and especially those being led around by the Tea Partiers.

Obama-ism posits that we are now in a hypercompetitive global economy, where the country that thrives will be the one that brings together the most educated, creative and diverse work force with the best infrastructure — bandwidth, ports, airports, high-speed rail and good governance. Therefore, ET — energy technology — is going to be the next great global industry.

So, government matters. It needs to be incentivizing businesses to build their next factory in this country — at a time when every other nation is throwing incentives their way; it needs to be recruiting highly skilled immigrants; it needs to be setting the highest national education standards and funding basic research.

And — something neither Democrats nor Republicans have stepped up to yet — we will need to pay for all this by simultaneously raising some taxes, cutting others and by taking away some services to pay for needed new investments in infrastructure and education.

“Health care was the final act of the New Deal,” argues Edward Goldberg, who teaches global business at Baruch College and is writing a book on globalization and U.S. politics. “The 21st century will require a mix of cutting, investing and innovation and entrepreneurialism beyond anything we have dreamed of.”

To simply say that government is not the answer, he adds, “when we are essentially fighting four wars — Iraq, Afghanistan, the Great Recession and the retooling of the American economy” — is ludicrous.

One reason the GOP has failed to spawn an agenda for the 21st century is that globalization has fragmented the party. Its Wall Street/multinational corporate wing understands we need immigration, free trade, clean-tech and government support for better infrastructure and the scientific research that is the wellspring of innovation. The Tea Party wing opposes virtually all those things.

All that unites the two wings is their common desire for lower taxes — period.

Globalization has also weakened the Democrats’ blue-collar/union base, but the Democrats have absorbed a new constituency created by globalization — what Goldberg calls the “Newocracy” — which combines the multinational corporate manager, the technology entrepreneur and engineer, and the aspirational members of the meritocracy.”

These “Newocrats” previously would have leaned Republican, but now many lean toward Obama. They don’t agree with everything he’s proposing, but they sense that he is working on that bridge to the 21st century, while today’s GOP/Tea Party is just not in the game. Today, we have no real opposition party with its own pathway to the 21st century. We just have opposition.

6. “Solar” by Ian McEwan (Doubleday/Nan A. Talese)

He was the greatest pitcher no one’s ever heard of: Old Hoss Radbourn, star of the Providence Grays. Back in organized baseball’s infancy, he won 309 games in just 11 major league seasons and led his team to the 1884 National League pennant.

But more significant than the Grays’ success that year was what Radbourn achieved as an individual. As Edward Achorn recounts in “Fifty-nine in ’84: Old Hoss Radbourn, Barehanded Baseball, and the Greatest Season a Pitcher Ever Had,” Radbourn won 59 games in 1884 — a mark that has never come close to being broken.

“In 1916,” Achorn writes, “a baseball writer named Brown Holmes polled ten famous major-league managers, asking them to choose the greatest feat in the game’s history. ... When it came time to cast their votes … six of the ten managers, including some of the keenest minds in the game — John McGraw, Connie Mack, Pat Moran, Clark Griffith, Jimmy Callahan and Hughie Jennings — picked …

Radbourn’s astonishing performance in 1884.”

David Remnick, the editor of The New Yorker, is not one to waste an opportunity.

Despite the exhaustive newspaper coverage of the 44th president, Remnick suspected he had something to add.

Mayer on torture and terrorism.

While there are certainly readers who prefer Brown’s extravagance over Remnick’s newspaperlike instincts, he is widely given credit for remaining calm in a building and profession full of high-strung neurotics.

“I think he regards the editor’s job as being not crazy,” Finder said. “The writer’s prerogative is to be, perhaps, a little crazy.”

Except when that writer is Remnick. During the year he spent on “The Bridge,” he rose at 5:30 a.m. to write and often stayed up past midnight, but rarely discussed the book at work. “He got up really early, went back to work after dinner with the kids, and took no weekends off and no vacation for more than a year,” said Esther Fein, his wife, in an e-mail message.

A spate of Obama books are due out this year, and Knopf rushed the publication of Remnick’s. Its first printing is 130,000, more than Remnick’s previous books and about the same as “Game Change,” and Knopf expects it to be a major best-seller, said Paul Bogaards, a spokesman for the publisher.

Remnick’s expectations remain modest — intellectually, at least. “I understand the difference between journalism and scholarship that comes 20 years later,” Remnick said of his biography. “I’m a journalist — I’m not Robert Caro. I have a day job, and a pretty consuming one — a joyfully consuming one.”

Finishing dinner with a reporter — at Ouest, naturally — Remnick drank a double espresso with a single sugar cube. It was past 10, but he had things to do.

‘Unyielding stamina’ It’s tempting to dismiss the feats of early baseball; in the 19th century, the game existed in protean form. In 1887, an outfielder named Tip O’Neill batted .492 for the season, but this was at a time when walks counted as hits. Yet, Achorn makes clear, Radbourn’s pitching record was legitimate and hard-earned. “(A) team’s top pitcher,” he explains, “needed unyielding stamina — mental as well as physical — to survive, throwing day after day.” In one evocative passage, he describes what Radbourn faced during the 1884 stretch run: “The punishing repetition — pitch after pitch after pitch, day after day, without significant rest — had surely started to wear down his rotator cuff. … Even after the pain had set in, searing his shoulder, jarring him awake several times a night, he had continued to pitch.”

In the 1880s, most teams carried only two starting pitchers; for the Grays, this led to a crisis when, in late July, 21-year-old phenom Charlie Sweeney, who had outpitched Radbourn over the first part of the season, was expelled from the team — and the National League — for insubordination. From that point on, the burden was on Radbourn, who started 41 of the

team’s final 51 games. The pace was unyielding, even by the standards of 19th century baseball, but Radbourn faced it with stolid grace. For Achorn, he is an American archetype: the son of a butcher for whom pitching offered a better life: “During the 1884 season,” he writes, “a man approached the great pitcher in a hotel lobby.

‘Gee, Old Hoss, ain’t you ever going to tire out?’ he asked.

‘Tire out?’ Radbourn snapped at him. ‘Tire out tossing a little five-ounce ball for two hours a day? Man, I used to be a butcher.

From 4 in the morning until 8 at night I knocked down steers with a 25-pound sledge. Tired of playing 2 hours a day for 10 times the money I got for 16 hours a day?’ This was not a complaint: just an acknowledgment that life was hard and that men were supposed to shut up and bear it.”

A true legend Such an attitude, Achorn suggests, was essential not only to Radbourn’s success on the ball field but also to his survival.

America in the 1880s was a rough-and-tumble place where “(c)rime flourished, not only in the dark alleys and red-light districts, but also in the nation’s city halls and capitol buildings.”

Achorn writes with relish about this history of dissolution; the deputy editorial page editor of the Providence Journal, he loves the toughness of the place.

This translates to his account of Radbourn’s legendary season, and the rigors of the early game.

Indeed, the most vivid aspect of “Fifty-nine in ’84” is its meticulous re-creation of the 1884 season, inning-by-inning, game-by-game. We’re used to this in terms of contemporary baseball, which we can relive, almost as soon as we have seen it, on Web videos and DVDS. But the 19th century remains a kind of dead zone, the dark age of the sport.

But it’s the vibrancy of his story that resonates, the sense of Radbourn and these others not as historical figures but as human beings. The game they played was brutal, with no gloves or protective gear, and no substitutions except in the case of catastrophic injury. In such a context, Radbourn’s 59 wins became even more unlikely, although perhaps most astounding are the nearly 680 innings he threw. (By contrast, the Detroit Tigers’ Justin Verlander led the major leagues with 240 innings pitched in 2009.)

In baseball, as in anything, it’s a fool’s game to compare eras; the challenges of one don’t necessarily tell us anything about the next. But even by the standards of his moment, Radbourn’s 1884 performance was off the charts.

Book details teenager on the road to ruin “Imperfect Birds”

by Anne Lamott (Riverhead, 288 pgs., $25.95)

By Connie Ogle McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Paul McGinnis / Bloomberg News

Josh Axelrad, author of the new book “Repeat Until Rich: A Professional Card Counter’s Chronicle of the Blackjack Wars,” won $18,000 in 10 minutes of playing the game in 2000.

Blackjack pro wins big — and then he changes careers “Repeat Until Rich: A Professional Card Counter’s Chronicle of the Blackjack Wars”

by Josh Axelrad (Penguin Press, 262 pgs., $25.95)

By Jeffrey Burke Bloomberg News

Here’s a memoir about blackjack card counting by an author who says that “math has never been a strong suit” and “I didn’t know how to write a book.”

The math, it turns out, isn’t hard, as Josh Axelrad reveals in “Repeat Until Rich: A Professional Card Counter’s Chronicle of the Blackjack Wars.” And the writing’s not at all bad.

In 1999 at age 23, Axelrad finds himself adrift in an ill-defined job at Swiss Bank Corp. By chance he meets Garry Knowles, who played with the MIT blackjack team and now offers the author a quick tutorial on how counting cards and collaborative play can give you an edge against the house.

Counting dates mainly from Edward O. Thorp’s 1962 book “Beat the Dealer.” A math genius at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Thorp took his theories on probability to Las Vegas and won. He then did the same on Wall Street, earning a place as the “godfather” in Scott Patterson’s recent book “The Quants.” Team play in blackjack got started in the late 1970s, which is when the MIT group emerged.

After many hours practicing and studying Thorp’s book, in early 2000 Axelrad joins a team run by a retired Wall Street millionaire (“identities are veiled”).

He wisely chooses to focus not on hands of blackjack — a numbingly repetitive game with little of the telegenic tension of Texas hold’em — but on his own evolution, from sweaty newbie to swaggering cowboy, and on the various sorts of “heat,” or security pressure, casinos apply to thwart card counters. It’s more

cat and mouse than the “wars” of the subtitle, and often funny as Axelrad mixes with a gambling cast of “fraternity and jock types.

Lost souls. Investment-banking scum. Money sluts.”

Of course, he catches fire at the tables, or there’d be no book.

He wins $18,000 in 10 minutes, about $700,000 for himself and his team during five years. In 2001 his income is more than $120,000. Then the 9/11 attacks puts a crimp in a “business model dependent on carrying large amounts of cash through airport security constantly,” he writes.

Axelrad’s annual income declines, as does his interest in the game. His thoughts turn to writing about the experience, almost in spite of himself: “The only impediments I was aware of were lack of talent, absence of experience, stunted vocabulary, short attention span.”

The other impediment that quickly arises after he quits blackjack is his addiction to online poker, which eventually costs him more than $50,000 and threatens his book contract.

The down side of this rise-andfall story, combining lies, selfdeception and fears of insanity, offers a stunning contrast after such controlled success at the blackjack table.

I wish Axelrad hadn’t protested so much about his lack of writing ability. The self-deprecation made me reconsider passages I’d marked as noteworthy.

In one, he dreams of a $200,000 payday so he can “buy a hot-air balloon and paint genitals on it, then float around Salt Lake City perturbing the Mormons.” It’s funny, until you think about it too hard.

Yet he also can just nail an image, like this detail about a pit boss: “He was a stocky and gentle-faced man with a mouth about the size of a Skittle.” When he isn’t trying too hard, he’s a natural storyteller, and he lived through a story worth telling.

Talking animals interrupt latest Richard Jury mystery “The Black Cat: A Richard Jury Mystery”

by Martha Grimes (Viking, 336 pgs., $25.95)

By Oline H. Cogdill (Fla.) Sun Sentinel

Martha Grimes’ 22 Richard Jury novels have been lessons in opposites. They meld both police procedural and the village mystery; they are hard-boiled with cozy overtones. As a result, the Richard Jury novels are hardedged with a soft, nearly sentimental center.

Grimes’ main core of characters defines the word. Richard, his aristocratic friend Melrose Plant and the other residents of Long Piddleton are worthy of the USA Network.

In “The Black Cat,” Grimes again shows why her novels continue to make the best-sellers lists as she delivers a lively, energetic plot about double lives.

Here, Richard, a Scotland Yard superintendent, investigates the murder of a young woman found outside a pub called The Black Cat. The woman was wearing expensive clothes and even more costly Jimmy Choo shoes, not the kind of get-up one wears to the local pub and Richard believes she may have been a professional escort. Initially, residents say the woman looks familiar, but no one

seems to recognize her. The woman was leading a double life — shy and retiring during the week when she “scarcely disturbed the air around her” and a prostitute on the weekends when she traveled to London. When other women working part-time as escorts are killed, Richard looks into the nature of duality.

Each Jury novel somehow weaves in a sly look at materialism. In “The Black Cat,” it’s shoes — mega-expensive, sky-high and oh-so-beautiful shoes. Even hard-bitten police can’t resist the allure of Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin or Manolo Blahnik; neither can victims. Grimes humorously depicts the appeal and ridiculousness of these overpriced baubles.

“The Black Cat” moves at a brisk pace with plenty of good twists. But not all the plot turns work. The only witness to the first murder is the pub’s resident black cat, a situation that normally would be followed by the phrase “but he isn’t talking.” But here he does. Grimes steers into Rita Mae Brown territory by having a dog and a cat discuss events. This makes “The Black Cat” skid to a halt and mars an otherwise effective story. Scenes in which the two animals become non-speaking participants are more effective.

Anne Lamott’s new novel is not a horror story, but it might read as if it were to nervous parents. The third installment in a warm, compassionate series about a cobbled-together Bay Area family, the often nightmarish “Imperfect Birds” details with frightening accuracy the ease with which teenagers can be derailed and how quickly adults believe the lies of the children they love.

The “imperfect birds” of the title are the characters from “Rosie” and “Crooked Little Heart” (aren’t we all equally imperfect?). Rosie, now 17, is

heading into her senior year at high school. She doesn’t play tennis anymore, but she’s bright and inquisitive, destined for a good college if she earns a scholarship. She’s got a couple of part-time summer jobs lined up. She’s loyal, good with kids, loves her best friends to death.

Still, she fights constantly with her mom Elizabeth, a recovering alcoholic, and her stepfather James, over the usual things: curfews, freedom, the rolling papers found hidden in a purse, the occasional whiff of pot on her clothes. Elizabeth rarely gets off the emotional seesaw common to all parents.

All pretty standard stuff, but Rosie’s drug use isn’t the casual experimentation she claims, and as the summer wears on, the lies grow. Desperate to stay in her daughter’s mercurial good graces, Elizabeth tries to tell herself that Rosie isn’t in real trouble — but she knows too intimately the signs of addiction.

In her nonfiction book “Operating Instructions,” Lamott humorously chronicled the first

year of her son’s life. “Imperfect Birds” offers the flip side of that story. You thought the diapers and the colic and the wailing were hard? Just wait.

But there is no jokey tone here, only a scary reality in which kids get killed driving drunk or quit college to hang around town partying with friends. And Lamott, while adept at conveying a parent’s conflicting emotions, also renders Rosie’s teenage world (bffs, school, drugs, booze, sex) with troubling precision.

Censor

Great Firewall via such dodges — a number that remains a tiny fraction of all users, but that has spiked upward in the last year.

‘Guiding public opinion’

New censoring tactics

The government’s strategy, according to Bandurski and others, is not just to block unflattering messages, but to overwhelm them with its own positive spin and rebuttals.

The government makes no apologies for what it calls “guiding public opinion.” Regulation is crucial, it says, to keep China from sliding into chaos and to preserve the party’s monopoly on power.

“Whether we can cope with the Internet is a matter that affects the development of socialist culture, the security of information, and the stability of the state,” Hu said in 2007. In China’s view, events since then — including the online spread of the democracy manifesto known as Charter 08, and riots in the Tibet and Xinjiang regions, said to be aided by cell phone and Internet communications — have only reinforced that stance.

In the last year, censorship has increased markedly, as evidenced by the closing of thousands of blogs and Web sites in ostensible anti-pornography campaigns, and the jailing of prominent dissidents who used the Internet to spread their views. The departure of Google’s search engine in March only capped months of growing intolerance of unfettered speech.

The paradox — at least at first glance — is that even with such pervasive restraints, China’s press and Internet are capable of freewheeling discourse and social criticism.

Newspapers, blogs and online chats have unleashed national outrages over a host of topics, including food and medicine contamination and local corruption.

Bloggers continually tweak the censors, leaking their orders and creating an online land of mythical creatures, whose names are all homonyms for aspects of the state’s heavy hand.

Some exposes and satires fall on the acceptable side of an often invisible and shifting line that marks what can and cannot be said freely in China. On the other side are statements that too overtly challenge the Communist Party’s hold on power, that attack or embarrass powerful politicians or that tread on a

Gilles Sabrie / New York Times News Service

Customers surf the Web at an Internet cafe in Beijing in January. Censorship is a major growth industry in China, overseen by no fewer than 14 government industries. long list of forbidden topics, from unrest in Tibet to political crises like the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.

Journalists and Internet publishers often discover that they have crossed the line only after their online presence is blocked, their bylines are blacklisted or they are detained or summoned to “tea” with government security officers who deliver coy but unmistakable warnings.

Great Firewall With 384 million users in China at last count in January — and 181 million blogs — the Internet poses a true cat-herding predicament for censors. Foreign entities that operate outside China are the lesser of the censors’ problems. The reason is logistical: access to the Internet in China from the outside world is limited, and all traffic must pass through one of three large computer centers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

At those centers, government computers — the so-called Great Firewall — intercept inbound data and compare it to a constantly changing list of forbidden keywords and Web addresses.

When a match occurs, the computers can block the incoming data in several ways, from rejecting it outright to making more nuanced trims. For exam-

ple, Chinese citizens who search Google using sensitive terms like “Tiananmen” may receive complete summaries of relevant Web sites. But if the Web sites are banned, it is impossible to link to them.

Within China, however, data cannot be choked off at a handful of gateways. So the government employs a toolbox of controls, including persuasion, co-opting and force, to keep the Web in line. Self-censorship is the first line of filtering and an obligation of all network and site operators in China.

China’s big homegrown sites, like Baidu, Sina.com and Sohu, employ throngs of so-called Web administrators to screen their search engines, chat rooms, blogs and other content for material that flouts propaganda directives. For four years, Google followed suit with its Chinese search engine, Google.cn.

The Internet companies’ employees are constantly guessing what is allowed and what will prompt a phone call from government censors. One tactic is to strictly censor risky content at first, then gradually expand access to it week by week, hoping not to trip the censorship wire.

The monitors sit astride a vast and expanding state apparatus that extends to the most remote Chinese town. “There is an Internet monitoring and surveillance

unit in every city, wherever you have an Internet connection,” said Xiao Qiang, an analyst of China’s censorship system, at the University of California, Berkeley. “Through that system, they get to every major Web site with content.”

Under a 2005 State Council regulation, personal blogs, computer bulletin boards and even cell phone text messages are deemed part of the news media, subject to sweeping restrictions on their content.

In practice, many of those restrictions are spottily applied.

But reminders that someone is watching are pointed and regular.

An inopportune post to a computer chat forum may produce a rejection message chiding the author for “inappropriate content,” and the link to the post may be deleted. Forbidden text messages may be delivered to cell phones as blank screens.

Even so, screening the electronic activities of hundreds of millions of people is a nearly impossible task. Moreover, users increasingly are resorting to technological maneuvers like virtual private networks and proxy servers to sidestep the censors’ blocking of banned Web sites altogether. By some reports, a million people now hurdle the

So the censors have taken other tacks to tighten their grip.

One is automation. China’s leading instant-messaging service, called QQ, automatically installs a program on users’ computers that monitors their communications and blocks censored text.

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology tried last year to expand automated censorship nationwide through mandatory Green Dam software that could remotely update lists of banned topics. After an outcry from Internet users and corporations, the state backed off, but Green Dam or other filtering software remains installed on computers in some Internet cafes and schools. Last month, the government signaled that a version for cell phones was in the works.

Another strategy is manipulation. In recent years, local and provincial officials have hired armies of low-paid commentators to monitor blogs and chat rooms for sensitive issues, then spin online comment in the government’s favor.

Xiao of Berkeley cites one example: Jiaozuo, a city southwest of Beijing, deployed 35 Internet commentators and 120 police officers to defuse online attacks on the local police after a traffic dispute. By flooding chat rooms with pro-police comments, the team turned the tone of online comment from negative to positive in just 20 minutes.

According to one official newspaper editor who refused to be named, propaganda authorities now calculate that, confronted with a public controversy, local officials have a window of about two hours to block information and flood the Web with their own line before the reaction of citizens is beyond control.

Zhang Shihe, a self-identified citizen journalist and blogger with the pen name Tiger Temple, said the government ranked

various bloggers by the risk they posed. “The most dangerous ones will be shut down, and some others will receive alerts from the government,” he said.

Zhang’s own blog posts are sometimes deleted. His workaround is to publish six blogs, hosted on different Internet sites: because censorship rules are vague and the censors merely human, a post that one blocks may be ignored or overlooked by another.

That may not last long. The consensus is that the government is rapidly getting better at its work.

Into their own hands Consider: One chilling new regulation limits those who can operate a site on China’s .cn domain to registered businesses, and requires operators to produce Chinese identification. “In case they need to shut you down for some subversive content, they need to know how to find you,” said an executive with one Beijing firm that hosts Web sites.

Major cities like Beijing — which last year advertised for 10,000 voluntary Internet monitors— are increasingly taking censorship into their own hands.

Pitted against this are those who argue that government chokeholds on the Internet cannot succeed. Bloggers like Zhang argue that growing restrictions on Internet speech only inflame ordinary users, and that bit by bit “people are pushing the wall back.”

Or at least trying. At a recent meeting of Chinese Internet leaders in the southern city of Shenzhen, Ding Jian, who heads the Internet company AsiaInfo, proposed that Shenzhen be made a censorship-free zone as an experiment to determine whether China can stomach the chaos of an unfettered Internet. Strangling free speech, one entrepreneur argued, is likely to strangle innovation as well.

The Internet portal NetEase published a report of the meeting. It was quickly deleted.

Best friends navigate rough waters in novel about life’s unexpected blows “Between Friends”

by Kristy Kiernan (Berkley, 322 pgs., $15)

By Hannah Sampson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Misfortune shows up early, settles in and makes itself comfortable throughout Kristy Kiernan’s new novel.

Her perfectly pleasant characters must cope with disease, violence, lost innocence and heartbreak. But somehow, all that bad luck doesn’t make the novel bleak. Instead, “Between Friends” is hopeful in the face of impossibility.

Ali Gutierrez, the heart of the novel, has reason to believe in miracles. An entire wall is devoted to the wonder of how her daughter Letty came to be:

Ali carried the embryo, created with an egg from best friend Cora and sperm from her husband Benny.

The story is legendary in the family’s southwest Florida town, much to Letty’s embarrassment. “I mean, I’m sorry, but it’s weird to be, like, seven years old and be talking to my friends’ moms about sperm.”

Now all Ali wants is another miracle, almost 15 years after Letty. The leftover embryos — her “totsicles,” as she cringingly refers to them — are potentially still viable. But this complicated family tree holds secrets.

Ali’s desire for another baby coincides with a diagnosis that could threaten Cora’s life — and the lives of any offspring. Letty, rebellious and vulnerable, needs

parents more than ever just as hers are becoming distracted with their own problems.

We get into the women’s heads in chapters narrated by Ali and Cora as they hold onto their troubles until the secrets can no longer be kept.

But Kiernan, who lives in southwest Florida, sets the novel in Naples and floods it with beach scenery. Although she occasionally waxes too poetic about that scourge humidity, she makes good use of the locale to illustrate the constants in life.

Life — friendship, marriage, parenthood — can break your heart, the novel reminds us. The lucky among us have a hand to grab when the inevitable waves knock us down.

JOHN STEARNS NEW SHORT-SALE PROGRAM

Bend MBA program proves value

W

ade Miller says he could not have gotten his job as executive director of Central Oregon Pediatric Associates without his Master of Business Administration degree, which he earned in Bend from Portland-based Concordia University.

For business people who’ve wanted to get an MBA or wondered about such a program and the commitment, an informational meeting is scheduled this week in Bend (details follow).

Miller will be among professionals on hand to talk to prospective MBA students in Bend about the Concordia program.

Concordia is taking applications now for its next two-year cohort, which begins Aug. 6. The program, the only “live,” or “face-to-face” MBA program in Bend, has graduated 35 MBAs since the first cohort started in 2004.

It’s a program Bend’s lucky to have and a quality complement to the region’s other higher education offerings.

“It was worth going through,” said Miller, who got his Concordia MBA in 2007 when he was director of quality and process improvement at St. Charles Bend.

He sought the degree to supplement his undergraduate degree in health care administration and round out his skill set.

Those skills were necessary to land the position with COPA last July.

The program “opened doors to other opportunities and the next step of my career, and it also … was exciting to have your mind stimulated again and to look at things differently, and from a much broader perspective,” he said.

But be prepared to work — hard.

“I would lie to say that it was easy,” said Miller, 38. He and his wife didn’t vacation for two years. He studied from the time he came home each night and dedicated most weekends to studying.

Tom Daniels, director of Concordia’s Bend MBA program, said students can expect to study 15 to 20 hours per week to start, hours that some students can reduce as they get more comfortable with complex case analyses. The program also requires meeting one weekend per month, on Friday evening and all day Saturday for 18 months. The other six months can include a mix of elective courses, work on a thesis, or an internship.

The two-year program costs approximately $25,000 for tuition, books and fees. While grants are not available for graduate-level studies, student loans are, Daniels said. Some companies also help pay their students’ way, he said.

While online MBAs are common these days, both Miller and Daniels say group discussions among students are pivotal and enriching. Miller said his class included former Microsoft and Boeing employees living in Bend, which “led to some fascinating perspectives as we went through the case studies.”

The program prefers at least five years of work experience, which provides realworld context for student discussions.

That interaction was big, too, for Phoenix Ivers, who graduated from the first cohort when she worked at Edge Wireless. “I think I learned a lot more that way,” she said. Ivers, 29, is now an executive assistant at Bend Research, where the well-rounded instruction from the MBA has helped with the various hats she wears at the company, including helping with operations and participating on the business-development team.

Concordia’s program is based on Harvard Business School’s case-study method, the same approach Harvard uses in its MBA program, and uses Harvard’s materials, Daniels said. All instructors have worked in the field they teach and have educational experience, added Daniels, who teaches project management and case analysis in the program.

Students who graduated in the fourth Bend MBA cohort on April 3 were the first to take an MBA exit exam that measures what they learned and compares results with 24,785 students from about 230 small colleges and universities nationwide.

How much help for area homeowners?

Local real estate experts are voicing skepticism yet still holding out hope streamline the short-sale process, which can vary from lender to lender, in order to keep homes from lapsing into foreclosure, which puts downward price pressure on housing markets.

The program also provides homeowners who successfully complete a short sale up to $3,000 for “relocation assistance,” as well as smaller cash payments for lenders.

But perhaps more importantly, according to Larry Wallace, of True North Mortgage in Bend, the program would prevent lenders from pursuing deficiency judgments against borrowers who short-sell.

“Not enough people know about this,” Wallace said, discussing the potential liability a short-seller can face. “There are people signing (short-sale agreements) not knowing what they are signing.”

The Obama administration’s latest plan to help underwater homeowners — a federal program aimed at streamlining short sales and offering cash incentives to participating borrowers and lenders — went into effect last Monday.

Whether it will help stem foreclosures as envisioned remains to be seen, but many local real estate professionals are skeptical, while hoping for the best.

A short sale occurs when a lender allows a buyer to purchase a borrower’s home for less than the borrower owes the lender. Though the lender, on the face of it, loses money, it’s generally a less costly alternative to foreclosing on a home, according to real estate experts.

The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives program launched last week attempts to

Bend builders make a push for lower fees

By David Holley The Bulletin

Developers are asking the city of Bend for a little concession on building, planning and other fees the city charges to fund its various departments, in part as a way to stimulate development in the area.

If the city contributed some of the funding for departments such as building or planning — currently the fees charged to developers fully cover the departments’ operational costs — it would help the developers during trying times, said Andy High, vice president of government affairs for the Central Oregon Builders Association. With the current funding model, builders’ fees are paying for city staff in those departments, who are assisting what the association says is a growing public use.

“The (city’s) general fund needs to put some money in to help with basic services that every community member gets when they walk in,” he said Thursday, two days after builders suggested the change to a handful of city councilors and staff. “We wanted to meet with council to talk with

them about changing the policy as a whole and why we feel that the policy needs to be changed.”

A few City Council members and other city staffers who sat in a Tuesday meeting with the builders association are considering potential, less expensive changes, such as contributing public funds to pay for building or planning departments. But other costs, like system development charges, might be too expensive for the city to subsidize.

“I think we’ll probably have more on that discussion,” Eric King, Bend’s city manager, said about offsetting operating costs.

Bend has already taken some steps to stimulate business for developers. In the last 1½ years, the city has approved extensions for permits that previously had time limits in order to help builders whose projects have been stalled by the economy, King said. It also approved a program that allows businesses to pay system development charges — which pay for infastructure near developments for things like roads and water lines — over a period of time instead of all at once, he said.

CELL PHONE SERVICE

By Matt Richtel

SAN FRANCISCO — Faced with withering criticism for its spotty iPhone service, AT&T blames in part a shortage of cell phone towers near homes and businesses. But it has a solution: Put a miniature cell tower in your living room.

There’s a catch, though. You have to pay for it. And that is making some customers angry.

The size of a couple of decks of cards, these mini-towers act and look like Wi-Fi hot spots at cafes and redirect cell phone calls from congested cell towers to home Web connections.

“It’s a fabulous idea, especially if you can’t get service, but to charge for it is insulting,” said Christina Zachariades, 28, of Manhattan who already pays $130 a month for iPhone service

but cannot receive or make calls in her fifth-floor apartment on the Upper East Side. “How much more do I have to pay to get the service required for me to use my phone?”

Despite complaints like this, the technology is poised for big sales, thanks to price drops but also because of the entrance into the market by AT&T. Other companies — Verizon, for example — have already marketed their mini-towers for niche use to customers in places with limited cell phone signals, like basements or homes with particularly thick walls.

Although AT&T says its minitowers will help in that kind of situation, it also acknowledges that it wants to help iPhone users who cannot get consistent signals.

Blight strikes first on cities’ fringes

By Alana Semuels Los Angeles Times

HEMET, Calif. — The gated community in Hemet doesn’t seem like the best place for Eddie and Maria Lopez to raise their family anymore.

Vandals knocked out the street lamp in front of the Lopez’s five-bedroom home, and then took advantage of the darkness to try to steal a van. Cars are stacked four-deep in the driveway next door, where a handful of men rent rooms.

And up and down their block of handsome homes, there are padlocked doors, orange “no trespassing signs” and broken windows.

It wasn’t what the Lopezes pictured when they agreed to pay $440,000 for their 5,000square-foot house in 2006.

The 427-home Willowalk tract, built by developer D.R. Horton, featured eight distinct “villages” within its block walls.

LOS ANGELES — The latest report from the government shows that employers are starting to put more people on the payroll again. But millions of Americans who are earning an income are doing so without the benefits or security that once came standard with most jobs.

Lance Anderson, 58, is one of them. Since losing his job as a graphic designer three years ago, he’s been making a living as a freelancer.

At first, Anderson enjoyed the freedom of working from the studio in back of his San Francisco Bay Area home. But as more designers were laid off and competed for freelance jobs, work became tougher to find. He’s getting by, since his wife is employed, but health insurance costs $355 a month and some days sitting alone in his studio, he feels like he’s going mad.

“It’s tougher than it used to be,” he said. “But it’s way easier to find freelance work than it is to find a job.”

Deprived of steady work, more people are becoming independent contractors, or freelancers, giving up the benefits of being a full-time employee for the chance to at least earn a paycheck.

In 2005, the federal government estimated there were more than 10 million independent contract workers, or 7.4 percent of the workforce. That number has almost certainly risen during the economic downturn, experts say, as companies shifted some work from employees to contractors to cut benefits costs and make it easier to jettison staff when business slowed.

Workers may not like it, but at a time of high unemployment, many have no choice but to take whatever work they can get, even if that means paying for their own health insurance and skimping on a 401(k) and life insurance plan.

Labor advocates are concerned that the trend, if unchecked, will lead to a widespread retreat in the benefits American workers have come to expect, including paid vacations, employer-paid health insurance and money for retirement.

No minimum wage or overtime Companies that hire independent contractors are not required to pay them a minimum wage or overtime pay. The companies don’t pay or withhold payroll taxes, so it is more difficult for the Internal Revenue Service to collect taxes from the workers, which deprives Medicare and Social Security of needed funds.

And a retirement plan or health insurance? Forget about it.

“What they’re doing is tearing at the fabric of the New Deal protections that have been in place for decades to protect workers,” said Shannon Liss-Riordan, a partner at Lichten & Liss-Riordan, a Boston firm that has sued businesses, including strip clubs, cleaning franchises and trucking companies, on behalf of independent contractors.

NEWS OF RECORD DEEDS Deschutes County

Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times

Freelance chef Sherie Farah prepares a meal at a client’s home in Marina del Rey, Calif. Farah left a corporate chef’s job and is making more money now than she did before.

Labor laws prevent companies from classifying workers as independent contractors if the freelancers have the same responsibilities as current employees and aren’t allowed to take other jobs.

Authorities are starting to crack down on companies that violate these laws as well. President Barack Obama’s budget for fiscal 2011 earmarks $25 million for divisions in the Department of Labor, including its Wage and Hour Division and Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to investigate businesses that misclassify workers as independent contractors.

Two separate bills in Congress also seek to punish companies that misclassify workers. And the IRS said it would audit 6,000 random employers this year to calculate how many companies overall might be misclassifying independent contractors.

The government is now paying close attention because “this is worth billions of dollars in lost payroll cost, and everyone’s looking for ways to raise money,” said Catherine Ruckelshaus, legal codirector at the National Employment Law Project, a nonprofit organization that advocates for low-wage workers.

Ruckelshaus estimates that the number of freelance workers has risen to at least 13 million. The actual number is difficult for the government to track, said David West, director of the Center for a Changing Workforce, a Seattle nonprofit that monitors employment trends.

The 2005 estimate of 10.3 mil-

lion contract workers was made by a Bureau of Labor statistics survey of contingent workers.

That was an increase from the bureau’s previous estimate of 8.6 million contractors in 2001.

Responding to the trend, the Freelancers Union in New York is advocating for freelancerfriendly policies across the nation, such as abolishing taxes on unincorporated businesses (many freelancers operate this way) and cracking down on employers who don’t pay contractors what they’re owed.

‘This is a trend’ “We have to recognize this is a trend, just as it was a trend when people were leaving the family farm in the 1800s,” said founder Sara Horowitz, who said membership has swelled 40 percent in the last year, to 130,000.

The economy has made freelancing tough. Surveys of members indicate that about 60 percent of independent contractors are having a hard time making a living, with about 12 percent of freelancers taking government assistance because they aren’t making enough money. A majority of contractors say they would still prefer to have full-time jobs, said West of the Center for a Changing Workforce.

Then, too, there are people who prefer the independent life.

Sherie Farah, a freelance chef in Santa Monica, Calif., said that 2009 was her best year ever. The one-time executive chef moved to Los Angeles four years ago after tiring of the stress of working in high-end restaurants. Now she makes a living cooking private dinners, catering and helping clients plan nutritional meals.

“I think my quality of life is better,” she said. “But it does take a little bit of time to get established.”

It hasn’t been easy for Marta Victoria, a freelance graphic designer. The Internet has made her job harder: Clients can contract work from China on the cheap, or buy art from stock photo sites that don’t charge much. At the same time, her costs are rising.

“My health care is going through the roof. I don’t have life insurance. I don’t have an IRA,” she said.

She pushes herself to work longer hours to earn the money to pay for benefits, but there’s a lot of competition out there with so many people unemployed, she said.

“I work harder, but everyone’s working harder,” she said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

Blight Continued from G1 Along with spacious homes, Willowalk boasted four lakes, a community pool and clubhouse.

Fanciful street names such as “Pink Savory” and “Bee Balm” added to the bucolic image.

Young families seemed to occupy every house, throwing block parties and holiday get-togethers, and distributing a newsletter about the neighborhood, Eddie Lopez recalled.

“We loved how everything was family-oriented — all our kids would run around together,” said Lopez, a 41-year -old construction supervisor and father of seven. “Now everybody’s gone.”

Home foreclosures have devastated neighborhoods throughout the country, but the transformation from suburban paradise to blighted community has been especially stark in places like Willowalk — isolated developments on the far fringes of metropolitan areas that found ready buyers when home prices were soaring, but then saw an exodus as values crashed.

Vacant homes are sprinkled throughout Willowalk, betrayed by foot-high grass. Others are rented, including some to families who use government Section 8 vouchers to live in homes with granite countertops and vaulted ceilings.

When the development opened in 2006, buyers were drawn to the area by advertising describing it as a “gated lakeshore community.” Now, many in Hemet call Willowalk the “gated ghetto,” said John Occhi, a local real estate agent.

New slums There are dozens of places like Willowalk, and they are turning into America’s newest slums, says Christopher Leinberger, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institute. With home values at a fraction of their peak, he said, it no longer makes sense to live so far from the commercial centers where jobs are concentrated.

“We built too much of the wrong product in the wrong locations,” Leinberger said.

The Lopez family has lived in the gated Willowalk community since 2005. With the decline of the housing market, the planned Hemet, Calif., community has gone from a family-oriented oasis to a nest of foreclosures and rising crime. The family would like to move, but is tied to a high mortgage. could be 25 million more suburban homes on large lots than are needed, according to Arthur C. Nelson of the University of Utah.

Nelson believes that as baby boomers age and as younger generations buy real estate, the population will abandon remote McMansions for smaller homes closer to shops, jobs and the other necessities of life.

Whatever their number, the presence of unwanted or abandoned homes stand to be a burden on local governments for years to come, as cash-strapped cities and counties have to spend precious resources to patrol the neighborhoods and clean unkempt yards and abandoned houses.

“There are cities saying to us, ‘I used to have eight code enforcement officers, and now I have one,’ “ said Bill Higgins, a staff attorney for the League of California Cities.

About 80 California municipalities are striking back, enforcing ordinances that fine lenders up to $1,000 a day for not maintaining properties that have been foreclosed, Higgins said.

But most cities don’t have the

resources to force absentee owners or renters to preserve their properties.

In Hemet, city officials have simply boarded up homes in some troubled neighborhoods.

Plywood covers the windows of dozens of apartments on Valley View Drive; resident David Hall says it keeps the prostitutes and drug dealers out.

Willowalk presents a different challenge. The development promised a Tiffany neighborhood for what was then something closer to a Target price.

“Leave the world behind as you unwind by our picturesque lakes,” cooed one advertisement, which touted “intimate botanical gardens and walking trails, tranquil lakes” and other attractions.

At first, the reality matched the come-ons.

Maria Lopez, a stay-at-home mom, recalls gazing at the mountains in the distance as her children played in groups with neighbors their own age.

The community pool was just a few blocks away, and she says she used to let her older children, ages 13 and 14, go there by themselves.

Now, she accompanies her children to the pool — though it’s been closed of late — because the people who now hang out there “have no class,” she said, and she sits out front with her children if they play in the yard.

“My next-door neighbors — there are so many people living there, I don’t know who they are,” she explained.

‘Rented, owned, rented, rented’ Walking through the development, there is not much evidence of the well-kept yards and friendly families Maria Lopez fondly recalls.

Many of the people answering a knock say they are renters, and won’t open their doors more than a crack to see who is on their doorstep. Red-and-white “For Sale” signs dot the neighborhood, clashing with the bold golds and browns of the homes.

The contrast between occupied and empty houses is evident on one block, where high grass in weedy clumps gives way to a neatly mowed lawn with handwritten signs pleading “Please

Fees Continued from G1 The city also is applying for an enterprise zone designation within the city limits, which would offer new developments exemptions from certain taxes — potentially helping builders who could benefit from new companies moving into the zone and building businesses.

City Councilor Mark Capell, who sat in on the meeting with the builders association, said the city also is putting money in a revolving loan fund meant to aid businesses like builders that are adding jobs. The fund could provide a loan to a business that plans to expand and needs access to money, Capell said, thus giving a builder a new contract.

“I think everybody on council recognizes that one of our top priorities today is economic development,” Capell said, adding that the city will look at contributing money to development departments to reduce developers’ costs. “It’s always open for discussion, and we want to look at the numbers.”

The developers also told councilors about a city in northwestern Oregon offering developers big discounts on building permits, system development charges and other fees.

The city of Scappoose, located in Columbia County about 20 miles northwest of Portland, announced in mid-2009 that it would reduce the cost of many permits by 25 to 50 percent until July 2010. It also allowed businesses to avoid business license fees during 2010, and reduced the cost that new developments must pay for transportation system development fees, covering the difference with city funds.

“For the short term, we’re trying to get some incentives to builders and developers who are having a hard time getting loans,” said Scappoose Mayor Scott Burge.

High, of the local builders association, said Scappoose’s discounts could save a developer tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on a multimillion-dollar project. That might be enough to entice some businesses or builders to move out of Central Oregon and to Scappoose, he said.

“I don’t really like Scappoose, it’s not my favorite, but I can save $400,000 to build (there),” for example, High said.

Rather than trying to threaten

the city that builders would stop working in Central Oregon, High said the association was merely trying to start a discussion about the possibility of lowering some costs.

King said the city will discuss the possibility of contributing money toward the operations of departments like building or planning, which don’t have sizable budgets, thus meaning the city’s contribution would be relatively small. But King said it’s un-

likely the city will be able to subsidize any costs of the often more expensive system development charges, considering the more than $21 million budget shortfall it faces over the next five years.

City staff is doing everything possible, however, to keep the fees from rising, he said.

King isn’t too worried that Scappoose might swipe businesses from Bend with its discounted fees.

“I think it would be much more

of a threat to surrounding communities than to Bend,” he said.

A small, rural community of about 6,000 people, Scappoose isn’t yet actively recruiting businesses from other areas, Burge said. Still, the city wants them.

“If we can convince them to move, we’re going to go for it,” Burge said.

Towers

Short sales

Continued from G1 The company plans this month to start selling what it calls “MicroCells” in a few places for $150.

Even though the calls would be offloaded to an Internet service provider, AT&T customers would be charged for the minutes of phone service in their existing wireless plans unless they pay an extra $20 a month for unlimited calling. (The call volume is not expected to clog the Internet’s pipes.)

Over the long term, basic economics favors mini-towers in homes over big towers, said Pasquale Romano, chief executive of 2Wire Inc., a company in San Jose, Calif., that is developing one of the devices.

Continued from G1

‘Perfectly at home’ He said it did not make sense for carriers to spend money building large towers in residential areas because most people are not home during the day; as it is, AT&T already plans to spend $8 billion this year on improving its wireless coverage, including on big towers, according to public filings.

And the mini-tower, Romano said, will pay consumers a big dividend. “It’ll make your cell phone work perfectly at home,” he said.

But David Isenberg, a telecommunications industry analyst who recently worked as a senior adviser to the Federal Communications Commission, said mini-towers were a better deal for AT&T than for its customers.

“It directly addresses a deficiency AT&T has gotten a black eye from with its iPhone,” he said. But he added that the company also had a chance to lock in customers with new deals that include a mini-tower. “It’s so much more of an advantage for AT&T than it is for the customer.”

The price for the AT&T device could fall to $49 if consumers buy a broadband or in-home calling plan, and could be free to customers who buy both.

Still, marketing mini-towers has its risks for AT&T. Even though the company expects the towers to improve signal quality and take pressure off its network, they could displace landline telephones because wireless consumers will not need a second phone number.

And while landlines are quickly disappearing, they still bring the phone companies billions of dollars.

David Christopher, chief marketing officer for AT&T’s wireless and consumer markets, said the company initially plans to sell the devices in only a few cities, including New York and San Francisco.

They are among the cities with high concentrations of iPhone users who complain that the service does not work even in homes and offices with direct line of sight to traditional cell phone towers.

Poised to take off?

“This has very interesting longer-term potential,” Christopher said of the microcells.

“We have to be thoughtful that this doesn’t cause more cordcutting.” At AT&T, residential landlines have fallen about a third since 2006, to 26.4 million.

An AT&T spokesman, Mark Siegel, said consumers frustrated by iPhone service and concerned about paying for a MicroCell were asking a fair question.

But, he said, “we are taking significant steps to improve our service.” And a mini-tow-

AT&T’s answer to spotty coverage for its iPhone may be miniature cell towers that go in people’s living rooms. The cost, though, is angering consumers. er, he added, was “another alternative.”

Industry analysts say minitowers, known as femtocells, are poised for spectacular growth. Shipments should grow from 571,000 this year, to 1.9 million next year, to 40 million by 2013, according to iSuppli, a market research firm.

And falling prices will help propel sales. Two years ago, for example, consumers would have paid $500 or more.

Cisco, Samsung and Netgear are among the companies that make the towers; Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, which make chips for phones, have also developed products.

Francis Sideco, an analyst at iSuppli, said there were still bugs to be worked out before femtocells become a mass-market product like wireless routers or storage devices, which were once hard to market.

Bugs to work out Wireless phone companies must make sure the mini-towers do not interfere with one another; work even when consumers change their location in a house or business; and work seamlessly with the larger cell towers, so that calls can be handed from one to the other.

Sprint sells its mini-tower, Airave, for $99, along with a $4.99 monthly fee that it markets as “having your own miniature cell tower.” Verizon introduced its “Network Extenders” in January 2009; the company sells them for $250 and says they are meant for residents whose homes have unusual geographic constraints that limit cell phone signals.

Tom Pica, a Verizon spokesman, said the product had found a niche market.

There also are ways to connect mobile phones to Wi-Fi hot spots, but that requires people to download software, like Skype, to route the calls to the cellular network.

AT&T says its mini-towers will help not just the customers who own them but others using the AT&T network because there will be less traffic. AT&T says its device is the first femtocell on the market to allow users to send not just voice signals but also data over their phones.

“It’s a great user experience, and it’ll help offload data from our network,” Christopher said.

It could be great, customers say, but grudgingly.

“They want to find a new way to make money off me, versus actually servicing me for the money I pay already,” Zachariades said. “They’re trying to find a way to profit from their weakness.”

Oregon is an anti-deficiency state, but the protection only applies to foreclosed borrowers with a primary mortgage secured by real property.

In other words, a borrower who loses his or her home to foreclosure can’t be sued by the primary mortgage lender to collect the amount still owed on the mortgage. Oregon is one of only 11 states offering such protection.

However, Oregon law does allow holders of second and third mortgages to pursue deficiency judgments against foreclosed borrowers.

The law also allows lenders to pursue deficiency judgments against short-sellers.

Laura Cooper, an attorney and managing partner at Ball Janik in Bend, said it’s a common misconception that when a lender agrees to a short sale, the lender agrees to forgive the borrower’s loan. But that’s not always the case, she said.

“In a short sale, a lender agrees to release the trust deed in exchange for payment, but the borrower’s legal obligation is the promissory note between the borrower and lender,” Cooper explained. “The trust deed puts a lien on the property and secures the note, so when a lender agrees to a short sale, they remove the trust deed, which makes the property saleable, but the promissory note, where you promise to pay the lender, (survives).”

Cooper said she’s heard many stories from title company executives of borrowers who find out about their deficiency liability at the 11th hour and balk at the deal and choose foreclosure instead.

Borrowers can ask the lender to “expressly agree at the closing of the (short) sale that it will satisfy in full the obligation of the original debt,” said Cooper, but there is no guarantee the lender will.

Every lender and every situation is different, she said.

The HAFA program attempts to make up for the deficiency problem by requiring participating lenders to agree not to pursue deficiency judgments against borrowers who short-sell through the program.

Regardless, Cooper, Wallace and Shaun Jillions, the legislative policy director for the Oregon Association of Realtors, advise anyone considering a short sale to consult an attorney.

Will it work?

untary, like the federal loan modification program. As a result, Wallace doesn’t believe the HAFA program will have much impact, because lenders don’t often own the loans they service, having sold them to investors.

“The program’s documents say the servicers’ first obligation is to the investors, and so (lenders) can use that as an escape clause,” Wallace said.

Wallace also takes issue with the program’s compliance procedures, which make Freddie Mac, the quasi-government mortgage agency, the program’s top cop.

“Freddie Mac has never been an enforcement entity; they’re not set up like that,” Wallace said.

TenBroek, who said she’s worked mostly short sales for the last four years, thinks the program is a great idea but “a little bit misleading.

“Yeah, it’s good for the state of mind of the community, but is it really going to come together?” she asked. “I would love to see banks approve in less than 60 days. Some lenders are fabulous, but other banks … I really doubt they are going to be able to change their policies.”

Darling, who said he’s worked on a number of short sales, hopes the HAFA program is a success — if only to reduce the amount of paperwork that goes into processing a short sale.

He said many borrowers experiencing a hardship elect not to short-sell because of the work involved. But a streamlined process, plus cash incentives for borrowers, could lead to more short sales, he said.

Though it may be like comparing apples to oranges, if one uses the government’s home loan modification program as a metric, the HAFA program may not be all it’s cracked up to be.

When the Obama administration announced the home loan modification program in March 2009, the administration estimated the program would help 3 million to 4 million borrowers lower their payments.

Through February 2010, the program had permanently modified 170,000 mortgages nationwide.

The Treasury Department did not provide any estimates on how many borrowers it would help when it announced the HAFA program Nov. 30, 2009.

Wallace hopes the HAFA program will be successful but isn’t convinced it will work.

Short-sale activity Before the recession dropped home values so dramatically, leaving many borrowers underwater, short sales were extremely rare, said Kathy Ragsdale, CEO of the Central Oregon Association of Realtors.

Until recently, there wasn’t even a way to track short sales in the association’s Multiple Listing Service data because the category didn’t exist.

And while there are drawbacks to a short sale, there also are advantages.

The hit to a borrower’s credit score, compared with a foreclosure, is less, Cooper said. It also keeps borrowers from the stigma and stress of a foreclosure.

A short sale also is more appealing to certain workers who can lose their government security clearance if they foreclose on a home, Cooper said.

In Central Oregon, the number of short sales is increasing. In Bend, 22 single-family residences were sold in a short sale in March 2009, according to Central Oregon MLS data.

In March 2010, the number was 61, an increase of more than 177 percent.

As of last Wednesday, 1,131 single-family residences were listed for sale in Bend, according to Central Oregon MLS data provided to The Bulletin

by Bend real estate agent Dylan Darling. Of that number, 372 were listed as short sales, or roughly one-third of all homes available. By comparison, 73 bank-owned homes were listed, or about 6 percent.

LOS ANGELES — The role sounds perfect for a leading man or woman: a charismatic diplomat who hobnobs with the Hollywood elite and powerful politicians. An agent might want to call a George Clooney or a Meryl Streep.

Instead, it looks like they’re going to have to call central casting.

The role of head for the Motion Picture Association of America, the lobbying organization of the six major studios that also oversees the movie and TV ratings systems, is proving to be a tough one to fill.

No clear star candidates have emerged as front-runners, despite it being widely known for almost a year that Chief Executive Dan Glickman was stepping down last week after five years on the job.

Glickman, a former congressman from Kansas and secretary of Agriculture, didn’t exactly flash glamour and power. But then he had to follow the stentorian-toned, perpetually tanned Jack Valenti, who led the MPAA for almost four decades and deftly commanded the stages of Hollywood and Washington.

The challenges of filling what would seem to be a coveted gig says much about how government and popular culture have changed. For starters, since President Barack Obama took office, stricter lobbying rules have gone into effect that make even hosting a movie screening and dinner fraught with danger of running afoul of ethics guidelines.

The program also would attempt to streamline the short-sale process, requiring a lender to approve or disapprove a short sale contract within 14 days.

One of the loudest complaints about short sales over the last few years is how long it has taken lenders to process short sales.

Heather TenBroek, a Realtor with John L. Scott Realty in Bend, said she has one short sale that’s been active for more than two years.

But some banks are speeding up their processes, TenBroek said.

The program also attempts to address the thorny issue of second and third mortgages,

which has been “a major sticking point” in processing short sales, Jillions said.

Many short sales are held up or stopped by lenders who are in second and third positions who refuse to release their liens on the home because any proceeds from the short sale would go first to the primary lender.

Property cannot be sold until it’s free of all liens.

According to the program’s guidelines, first lien holders who distribute some of the short sale’s proceeds to second and third lien holders would receive a limited amount of matching money from the federal government.

A showroom dream that comes up short on the road

By Warren Brown

Drive newer cars at least once a week to avoid battery drain

Special to The Washington Post

CORNWALL, N.Y. — I should’ve taken the six-cylinder version of the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited crossover utility vehicle.

But I drove its four-cylinder sibling in what was an unfortunate atR E V I E W tempt to relieve the pain of driving in an environmentally and economically battered world.

I was suckered by The New Frugality, a major theme of the 2010 New York International Auto Show, open through April 11 in New York City, about a 90-minute drive south from here.

There are new four-cylinder models aplenty on the Javits convention floor, including the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, Nissan Juke and the totally reworked Ford Focus.

The buzz over the four-cylinder rides is matched by the hoopla over the many electric and gaselectric models on display.

But surrounding those sober green exhibits are the glistening symbols of what normally drives the North American automotive market — power, speed, beauty and more than a little bit of lust.

There is, for example, the new Chevrolet Camaro, available with your choice of a 304 horsepower V-6 or 400 horsepower V-8 engine. And there are the usual European suspects — Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari and MercedesBenz high-performance AMG editions.

Thus, the show is a statement of progress made in the campaign for alternative fuels and better fuel economy expressed in a celebration of motorized schizophrenia.

Global automobile manufacturers nowadays seem to be working from the Save Your Cake-Eat It

Q:

Last fall, we purchased a 2008 Lexus ES 350.

During winter, we drove our older car and used the Lexus infrequently. On multiple occasions, we found the battery in the Lexus dead after sitting 15 to 18 days. The dealer checked the electrical system current draw and found it normal. The dealer indicates the car must be used at least every 10 to 14 days to keep the battery charged. Is the dealer correct?

For many newer vehicles, yes. Current draw to maintain memory and functionality of many computer-controlled systems on today’s vehicles can drain the battery in a couple of weeks to the point it won’t start the vehicle.

Your options include starting and driving the vehicle more frequently, mounting a battery master disconnect switch or disconnecting the battery — with the hassles of losing presets for the radio, seats, HVAC system, etc.

— when the vehicle will be sitting more than a week or so, or connecting a “float” charger or battery maintainer to the battery to keep it charged. Driving the vehicle once a week is the easy answer.

The four cylinders on the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited crossover utility vehicle just aren’t enough out on the road.

2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited Base price: $26,645 As tested: $29,725 Type: Front-wheel-drive crossover utility vehicle. Seats five people.

Maximum cargo capacity is 78 cubic feet.

Engine: 2.4-liter, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder engine (175 hp) is mated to a six-speed transmission that can be operated automatically or manually.

Mileage: A combined 22 mpg — mostly highway — in city-highway driving.

Too School of Product Development. But my road trip here from Virginia in the four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited demonstrates that the have-it-all-and-save approach is more myth than reality.

If your goal is to travel at moderate speeds and occupy the right lanes of the nation’s highways, four cylinders are fine. But if you wish to move fast, carry a heavy load and drive uphill — get six or eight cylinders to do the job.

There was a stunning difference in performance between the

six-cylinder Hyundai Santa Fe I used to make the same trip last year and the four-cylinder model employed for this year’s journey.

Last year’s 3.3-liter V-6 Santa Fe (242 horsepower, 222 foot-pounds of torque) ran with gusto, making easy work of highway lane changes and uphill climbs. The 2.4-liter, inline four-cylinder model (175 horsepower, 169 foot-pounds torque) this year was a snail on wheels, whining every time it was asked to move beyond 65 mph, groaning and hesitant when asked to take on a steep road.

Hyundai, like many of its rivals, offers premium interior materials and a wide range of electronic communications/infotainment equipment in its cars and crossovers. That remains the case in the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited. It’s all very attractive and pleasing — until it hits the road for a long trip with four cylinders being where six or eight should be.

Under that circumstance, especially when carrying a load as I was on this trip, power and handling trump fuel economy. I support cleaner, more fuel-economical engines. But mine is the attitude reflected in many of the vehicle displays on the convention floor in New York City.

I want my cars and trucks to be clean and fuel-efficient. But I also want them to flex muscle when muscle is needed. The four-cylinder Santa Fe did not satisfy my last demand.

Q:

I have a 2007 Ford Explorer. Wet or dry, when you push on the brakes, they squeak. It is a horrible sound and very embarrassing. We took it to a Ford dealer and had the brakes checked, and they are OK. What causes the squeak, and how can we stop it?

A:

According to Ford, brake noises such as intermittent squealing, groaning, moaning and clicking sounds are considered “acceptable” conditions, with the exception of continuous squealing caused by uneven brake pad wear. By the very nature of disc brakes, where a rotating iron rotor is squeezed between two brake pads under extremely high hydraulic pressure, noises created by vibrations between pads and rotor are common, relatively normal and do not affect or reduce braking ability.

First, inspect the pads and rotors for taper, wear or scoring.

If all components are within specs, try having the surfaces of the rotors scuffed with a nondirectional finish pattern to facilitate mating pad to rotor. The pads can also be lightly sanded on a glass plate to roughen their surface to aid the mating process. Then, a series of very firm brake applications from 30-40 mph down to 5 mph — in a completely safe environment, of course — will help seat the fresh surfaces of pads to rotor.

The concept is simple — reduce the vibrations between pads and rotors to reduce the noise.

If all else fails, upgraded or alternate brake pads with different friction material can often reduce annoying brake noises.
