Last year, region saw more than $5 million in federal aid through program, set to expire next year

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

RACING FOR BECCA With his late fiancee as inspiration, a young Bend man seizes his chance to break into professional auto racing

WASHINGTON — To hear lawmakers tell it, the last county payments extension, in November 2008, was a near-miraculous event, dependent on the meltdown of the U.S. financial sector and a deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. Extending the program again? That will almost certainly be harder.

“What Senator (Ron) Wyden was able to do with four years was considerable, a perfect political stroke,” said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. “This would be even more difficult.”

County timber payments, formally the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, provide more than $100 million a year to rural Oregon counties and schools. Wyden, D-Ore., co-wrote the original bill in 2001 as a way to soften the blow of the decimated logging industry. The program was set to expire in 2006, but it was extended for a year in 2007 and then got another lease on life in 2008, when it was attached to the Wall Street bailout just days before its final passage. It’s now set to expire at the end of 2011.

Now the association of rural counties and schools that led a campaign to continue the program is gearing up again to keep the federal money flowing.

year after the young Bend man lost his soul mate, he turned to another of his passions to begin filling the painful void in his life.

The story of Justin Simpson and Rebecca Asla is an all-American love story.

The story of Justin Simpson and auto racing is, likewise, an all-American love story.

He started racing at Madras Speedway in 2000, when he was 13 — three years before he could test for a driver’s license. At 16, he drove his father’s car in the adult racing class. In his first race, he nearly lapped the entire field.

“My pit crew said, ‘You know

you’re out of a driving job, don’t you?’” recalls Justin’s dad, Wayne Simpson.

Now, at 22, Justin could be on the verge of breaking into professional auto racing. He was one of just 12 drivers selected for the inaugural Richard Petty’s Driver Search, a

training camp and competition for aspiring race-car drivers (see below).

Justin travels this weekend to North Carolina, where the four-day camp starts Monday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, a motor-sports mecca and the home base of NASCAR. See Racing / A6

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A year ago, Spc. Michael Crawford wanted nothing more than to get into Fort Carson’s Warrior Transition Battalion, a special unit created to provide closely managed care for soldiers with physical wounds and severe psychological trauma.

A strapping Army sniper who once brimmed with confidence, he had returned emotionally broken from Iraq, where he suffered two concussions from roadside bombs and watched several platoon mates burn to death. The transition unit at Fort Carson, outside Colorado Springs, seemed the surest way to keep suicidal thoughts at bay, his mother thought.

It did not work. He was prescribed a laundry list of medications for anxiety, nightmares, depression and headaches that made him feel listless and disoriented. His once-a-week session with a nurse case manager seemed grossly inadequate to him. And noncommissioned officers — soldiers supervising the unit — harangued or disciplined him when he arrived late to formation or violated rules.

In August, Crawford attempted suicide with a bottle of whiskey and an overdose of painkillers. By the end of last year, he was begging to get out of the unit.

Goldman cited ‘serious’ profit from crisis New York Times News Service In late 2007 as the mortgage crisis gained momentum and many banks were suffering losses, Goldman Sachs executives traded e-mail messages saying that they would make “some serious money” betting against the housing markets.

The messages, released Saturday by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, appear to contradict statements

by Goldman that left the impression the firm lost money on such investments.

Related • Q&A on financial reform efforts: Exploring the murky world of derivatives, Page G3 In the messages, Lloyd Blankfein, the bank’s chief executive, acknowledged in November 2007 the firm had lost money initially.

But it later recovered by making negative bets, known as short positions, to profit as housing prices plummeted. “Of course we didn’t dodge the mortgage mess,”

he wrote. “We lost money, then made more than we lost because of shorts.”

In another message, dated July 25, 2007, David Viniar, Goldman’s chief financial officer, reacted to figures that said the company had made a $51 million profit from bets that housing securities would drop in value. “Tells you what might be happening to people who don’t have the big short,” he wrote to Gary Cohn, now Goldman’s president.

Actions taken by Wall Street firms during the housing collapse

have become a major factor in the contentious debate over financial reform. In his weekly radio address on Saturday, President Barack Obama said Wall Street had “hurt just about every sector of our economy” and again pressed the case for tighter regulation. On Monday, Senate Democrats will try to prevent a Republican filibuster in the first major test of the administration’s effort to push through legislation.

Goldman on Saturday denied it made a significant profit on mortgage-related products in 2007 and

2008. It said the subcommittee had “cherry-picked” e-mail messages from the nearly 20 million pages of documents it provided.

This sets up a showdown between the Senate subcommittee and Goldman, which has aggressively defended itself since the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a security fraud complaint against it nine days ago. On Tuesday, seven current and former Goldman employees, including Blankfein, are expected to testify at a congressional hearing.

WASHINGTON — Two of President Barack Obama’s top remaining domestic policy initiatives — energy and immigration — appeared on the brink of collapse Saturday, after a Republican senator at the center of both efforts threatened to jump ship in a dispute with Democrats over timing.

Sens. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., and Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., said Saturday afternoon they would postpone the introduction of their long-anticipated energy and climate bill, which they had planned to roll out Monday.

The announcement came after their third partner, Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Lindsey R-S.C., abruptly Graham, one pulled out of the of the climate effort — at least bill’s central temporarily. architects, Graham was pulled his irate that Sensupport for ate Majority the legislaLeader Harry tion in protest Reid unexpectover apparent edly told felplans to give low Democrats priority to imhe planned to migration. move an immigration bill in the Senate before the climate bill, a move seen as a nod to Latino voters who could make or break Reid’s reelection bid in Nevada, and which Graham said would cripple the energy bill’s chances.

In a scathing letter Saturday, Graham blasted Reid and the Obama administration for putting “partisan, political objectives” ahead of the energy bill, and he warned that “moving forward on immigration — in this hurried, panicked manner — is nothing more than a cynical political ploy.”

Graham said he would re-engage on the energy bill if Reid backed off his plan to move immigration first. Reid did not directly commit either way, issuing a statement saying immigration and energy “are equally vital to our economic and national security.”

Senate priorities Losing Graham’s support could effectively doom both issues this year. Along with months of work with Kerry and Lieberman on the climate bill, Graham has partnered with Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., to draft an immigration bill. Republican votes are essential to pass either measure, and Graham was widely seen as a White House beachhead in a GOP caucus that has widely opposed Obama’s initiatives.

The Senate calendar is already strained in the wake of the marathon health care debate. With midterm elections looming, few analysts expect the Senate to accomplish much after July.

Once a climate bill is introduced, its drafters had planned to send it to the Congressional Budget Office and the Environmental Protection Agency to model its effects on the federal budget, the U.S. economy and the environment — a process that is expected to last more than a month. Only after those analyses come back could a bill move toward a vote.

Schumer and Graham do not appear close to producing an immigration bill or lining up the votes for one. But Kerry, Graham

and Lieberman had scheduled a morning press conference Monday to announce their plans to limit greenhouse gas emissions and spur domestic energy production. A host of environmental and business leaders were set to fly in to flank them.

The White House appealed for calm, with Obama’s top climate adviser, Carol Browner, saying Obama still supports a bipartisan push on both domestic issues.

“We have a historic opportunity” on climate, Browner said, adding, “We’re determined to see

TORNADOES TEAR UP SOUTH

it happen this year, and we encourage the Senators to continue their important work on behalf of the country and not walk away from the progress that’s already been made.”

Close observers of the climate negotiations were stunned. “This is a bizarre and crazy implosion,” said Frank Maisano, an energy lobbyist for Bracewell and Giuliani in Washington. “It certainly leaves the process in disarray at a time when we thought they were about ready to move to the next level.”

Latinos fear profiling with new Arizona law PHOENIX — Arodi Berrelleza isn’t one of the targets of Arizona’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration — he’s a U.S. citizen, a high school student from Phoenix.

But the 18-year-old said he’s afraid he’ll be arrested anyway if police see him driving around with friends and relatives, some of them illegal immigrants. “If a cop sees them and they look Mexican, he’s going to stop me,” Berrelleza said. Berrelleza’s concerns were echoed by Hispanics across the state Saturday, a day after Gov. Jan Brewer signed a bill that requires police to question people about their immigration status — including asking for identification — if they suspect someone is in the country illegally.

The new law takes effect in late July or early August. Current law in Arizona and most states doesn’t require police to ask about the immigration status of those they come across, and many departments prohibit officers from inquiring out of fear immigrants won’t report crime or cooperate in other investigations.

Brewer has ordered state officials to develop a training course for officers to learn what constitutes reasonable suspicion that someone is in the U.S. illegally. Civil rights advocates vowed to challenge the law in court, saying it would undoubtedly lead to racial profiling despite Brewer’s assurances. Supporters dismiss concerns about racial profiling, saying the law prohibits the use of race or nationality as the sole basis for an immigration check.

Arizona has an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants and is the state with the most illegal border crossings, with the harsh, remote desert serving as the gateway for thousands of Mexicans and Central Americans. A handful of protesters of the new law lingered at the state Capitol on Saturday morning, with a bigger rally expected to draw hundreds this afternoon.

Tammy Swarek searches the rubble of her home in Holmes County, Miss., Saturday. Tornadoes ripped through four states in the South, leaving broken crosses in front of a flattened church, splintering houses and overturning vehicles as they killed 10 people, including two children. The severe weather started in Louisiana, when a tornado destroyed 12 homes and warehouses.

Oil leaking at rig blast site The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard discovered Saturday that oil is leaking from the damaged well underneath a massive rig that exploded last week off Louisiana’s coast, while bad weather halted efforts to clean up the mess that threatens the area’s fragile marine ecosystem.

For days, the Coast Guard has said no oil appeared to be escaping from the well head on the ocean floor. Rear Adm. Mary Landry said the leak was a new

discovery but could have begun when the rig sank Thursday, two days after the initial explosion. The cause of Tuesday’s blast hasn’t been determined.

Coast Guard and company officials estimate that as much as 1,000 barrels of oil is leaking each day.

Eleven workers are still missing from the Deepwater Horizon rig that sank about 50 miles from Louisiana’s coast. They are presumed dead; the search for them was called off Friday.

Democratic High court contender could face liberal resistance seats once thought safe up for grabs Bulletin wire reports

Judge Merrick Garland

Unlike several other possible candidates to succeed retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Merrick Garland probably won’t face conservative opposition. Instead, it could be liberals lining up against him.

A small but vocal group of activists is privately saying Garland is not lib-

eral enough to replace the legendary Stevens, whose opinions defended gay rights and abortion rights and opposed the death penalty. They say Garland is a centrist who won’t champion liberal concerns, too often finds middle ground with his conservative colleagues on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and showed great deference to Presi-

dent George W. Bush’s indefinite detentions at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Even foes of Garland — who declined a request for comment — acknowledge that he is well liked by progressives and conservatives as a consensus-building judge and for his work as a top prosecutor on the Oklahoma City bombing. Many agree that he might provide the White House

with the smoothest political sailing in confirmation hearings.

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in a Washington state case in which religious conservatives fear retaliation from gay rights groups if the names of the 138,000 people who signed ballot petitions to overturn a same-sex domestic partnership law are released.

ASHLAND, Wis. — Rep. David Obey has won 21 straight races, easily prevailing through wars and economic crises that have spanned presidencies from Nixon’s to Obama’s. Yet the discontent with Washington surging through politics is now threatening not only his seat but also Democratic control of Congress.

Obey, who leads the powerful Appropriations Committee, is one of nearly a dozen well-established House Democrats who is bracing for something they rarely face: serious competition. Their predicament is • Investigation the latest sign adds spice of distress for to Oregon their party and underlines why treasurer’s race, Page B3 Re p u bl ic a n s are confident of making big gains in November, and perhaps even winning back the House.

The fight for the midterm elections is not confined to traditional battlegrounds, where Republicans and Democrats often swap seats every few cycles. In the Senate, Democrats are struggling to hold on to, among others, seats once held by President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.

Obama marks genocide without saying the word

Democrats are preparing to lose as many as 30 House seats — including a wave of first-term members swept into office on Obama’s coattails — and Republicans have expanded their sights to places where political challenges seldom develop.

“It’s not a lifetime appointment,” said Sean Duffy, a Republican district attorney here in Wisconsin, where he has established himself as one of the most aggressive challengers to Obey since he went to Washington in 1969. “There are changes in this country going on, and people aren’t happy.”

Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said he would consider anything short of taking back the House a failure. Republicans say they have not recruited strong candidates in all districts, but both parties agree they are within reach of capturing the 40 additional seats needed to win control. Republicans also are likely to eat into the Democratic majority in the Senate, though their prospects of taking control remain slim.

Ready for tough year Democratic congressional officials — well aware that a president’s party typically loses seats in midterm elections — have long been preparing for a tough year.

But Democrats worry that some lawmakers who have avoided tough races in the past could be at added risk of defeat because they are out of practice, slow on their feet and often reluctant to acknowledge the threat they are facing.

Republicans also are looking to make major Senate gains, though their hopes of winning control were set back when Tommy Thompson, a former Wisconsin governor, decided against challenging Feingold, who is seeking a fourth term. Democrats control the Senate by 59 to 41 seats.

To win the majority, Republicans would essentially have to run the table in races across the country: fending off Democratic challenges to four vulnerable Republican incumbents in Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire and Ohio, and capturing 10 seats now held by Democrats. Even in this climate, Republican officials concede that an error-free year is unlikely. Republicans would have to pick up the seats of decidedly more entrenched — though not unbeatable — incumbents, like Sens. Barbara Boxer of California or Patty Murray of Washington.

But the Republicans have suffered a series of setbacks that could complicate their efforts in the Senate. In Florida, the possibility that Gov. Charlie Crist might abandon the Republican primary and run as an independent could create a three-way race, putting a state in play that Republicans thought they would not have to worry about.

South Korean protesters wave defaced photos of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and what they say is Kim’s youngest son, Kim Jong Un, in Seoul, South Korea, in March. North Korea’s government appears to be trying to build a personality cult around Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong Il’s son.

News leaks out on North Korean succession process and likely heir

By Martin Fackler New York Times News Service

SUNGNAM, South Korea — The black-and-white photographs that were published last month in a North Korean newspaper but few places elsewhere appear no different from other propaganda coming from North Korea: They show the supreme leader, Kim Jong Il, touring a steel plant in a fur cap and his trademark sunglasses.

It is the pudgy but stern-faced young man next to him, dressed in a snappy Western suit and dutifully scribbling in a notebook, who has spurred intense speculation. Could this unidentified man be just a plant manager?

Or could this be the first public appearance of Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader’s third son and heir apparent?

“There, see how his face is in focus and illuminated even more than Kim Jong Il himself?” said Cheong Seong-chang, a specialist on North Korean politics at the Sejong Institute. “There is a high possibility that this is Kim Jong Un.” Little is known about the inner workings of the secretive North Korean government, not even the identity of the heir apparent.

But if Cheong is right, the enigmatic photographs are the latest signs of the desperate push that the North Korean government is making to build a cult of personality around the son, who is believed to be 27, to prepare him to assume control as the current leader’s health declines.

Kim Jong Il’s health The elder Kim, 68, appeared to suffer a stroke two years ago, and there have been recent reports that he is suffering from kidney disease.

Analysts say that if Kim dies too soon, his son could be pushed aside in a scramble for power among political and military elites that would end the family’s dynastic rule and might even bring about the collapse of the poor totalitarian state.

While this internal struggle is going on, problems continue to mount. A ham-handed currency revaluation last fall, aimed at reasserting central control over the economy, is reported to have badly backfired, producing unrest and disaffection with the government.

At the same time, the spread of cell phones and DVD players has broken the North’s self-imposed isolation, giving many of its citizens a sense for the first time of how poor and backward their country has become.

Recently, the government is said to have given mass promotions and luxury cars to officers in the nation’s powerful military, in a bid to cement their loyalty.

Indeed, the sinking last month of a South Korean warship, which many South Koreans now suspect was the work of a North Korean torpedo, is widely

seen in the South as a show of strength by the North aimed at winning the military’s support for the younger Kim. (On Saturday, South Korea salvaged the remaining half of a warship that sank near a disputed sea border with North Korea. North Korea has denied any involvement.)

‘Kremlinology’ Despite the breakdown of communications barriers, reliable information on the political system remains scant. Photographs like those that appeared in last month’s Rodong Sinmun, the ruling party’s newspaper, are among the limited evidence that analysts and intelligence experts must rely on as they try to understand the efforts to shore up the Kim dynasty for a third generation.

“This remains Kremlinology,” said Lee Ki-dong, a researcher on North Korea at the Institute for National Strategy, referring to the Cold War-era study of politics in the former Soviet Union.

Not much is known about the man who could become the next leader of the unpredictable, nuclear-armed country, even including what he looks like. The only firsthand account comes from a Japanese chef who once worked for the Kim family and knew Kim Jong Un only as a personable and precocious boy.

The only known photograph of him was taken when he was 11 years old.

It is also unknown whether Kim Jong Un has any rivals. For a time, North Korea watchers regarded the leader’s eldest son, Kim Jong Nam, 39, as the most likely heir — until he was caught

by Japanese authorities using a fake passport to visit Tokyo Disneyland. He now lives in Macao, giving occasional paid interviews to Japanese television.

Reports out of North Korea indicate that the government is trying to build a cult of personality around Kim Jong Un, just as it did during the last succession, when the current leader replaced his father, the North’s founder, Kim Il Sung. But while Kim Jong Il is believed to have had two decades as heir before assuming power after his father’s death in 1994, his son is being rolled out much faster.

Moreover, some experts say, the average North Korean is growing worldly and aware of life outside the country’s borders, making it increasingly unlikely that the government’s often bizarre propaganda efforts will succeed.

On Monday, the Daily NK, a website that specializes in information on North Korea, said it had obtained an internal propaganda document that called Kim Jong Un the Youth Captain and quoted his father (who has his own title, Dear Leader) praising his loyalty and good works.

The documents also extolled the son for such achievements as

managing a fireworks display last year in Pyongyang, the capital, and becoming a proficient driver of military vehicles, the Daily NK reported.

“He is a genius of geniuses,” the document says. “He has been endowed by nature with special abilities. There is nobody on the planet who can defeat him in terms of faith, will and courage.”

As U.S. shrugs, Bosnia lurches toward disaster A N A LY S I S

By Roy Gutman McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — Nearly a year after Vice President Joe Biden flew here to reassure Bosnians that the U.S. was back and would try to help overhaul their dysfunctional made-in-USA political system, ethnic tensions are rising again, morale has fallen and people are wondering: Whatever happened to Biden?

For Bosnians, whose country was largely destroyed by the ethnic warfare in the 1990s that marked the breakup of Yugoslavia, with Christian Orthodox Serbs killing as many as 100,000 Muslim and Croat civilians, it’s been a year of disappointment as the U.S. has become more disengaged and distant.

“I was encouraged by his coming here. Biden was always a man of principle,” an exasperated Haris Silajdzic, the Muslim chairman of the collective presidency that presides over this fractious, stagnating multi-ethnic state, said in an interview. “I do not know what his responsibilities are now.”

Bosnians expected the U.S. to be “more active and stronger in their efforts,” said Sulejman Tihic, the leader of the Muslim opposition Party for Democratic Action. “They are showing less interest. They are turning over the responsibilities to Europe, which is too complex a place and cannot define its policy.”

Biden didn’t respond to requests for comment. Aides said he was busy overseeing U.S. policy in Iraq and other issues and wasn’t following Balkan affairs closely. Instead, he’s handed matters to the State Department, which for the past six months has promoted a faltering diplomatic initiative.

The biggest worry in Sarajevo, the historic melting-pot capital in a country renowned for its tolerance of minorities, is that ethnic Serbs, who control the autonomous part of the country known as Republika Srpska, will hold a referendum that leads to secession. That could spell the end of Bosnia.

Srpska Prime Minister Milo-

The Associated Press

Bosnian Muslims display a banner with names of missing relatives earlier this month in Tuzla, north of the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. Bosnians expected the U.S. to be “more active and stronger in their efforts” to promote democracy, says Sulejman Tihic, the leader of the Muslim opposition Party for Democratic Action. “They are showing less interest.” rad Dodik, who came to power with U.S. backing, has spoken of the “peaceful dissolution” of the Bosnian state and has openly disparaged the international community’s top representative in Sarajevo.

Dayton accords U.S. officials drafted Bosnia’s Constitution in 1995 as part of the Dayton accords, which ended the war. The constitution recognized a Muslim-Croat Federation, as well as the Serbian entity in the north and east of the country, which ethnic Serbs conquered in the 1992-95 war with the backing of neighboring Serbia.

Bosnian political leaders warn of bloodshed if Dodik carries out his threat.

“It is not possible to divide this country in a peaceful way,” Tihic said. “Any real attempt like that will definitely lead us towards a new conflict.”

Last October, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg and European Union envoy Carl

Bildt attempted to launch a diplomatic initiative at Sarajevo’s Butmir airport. Its contents were tailored to Dodik’s demands, but he rejected them outright and scurried off to Belgrade, the Serbian capital, for talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

“He came back much stronger and more arrogant,” Tihic said.

In fact, Dodik later derided the U.S.-European plan as a “total failure, unnecessary adventure,” and even many of his critics have dismissed the Butmir talks as an ill-prepared fiasco. Steinberg

has visited Sarajevo four times but come up empty-handed, and with presidential and parliamentary elections looming here in October, no one expects progress anytime soon.

Progress?

Still, there are bright spots.

Sarajevo and most other cities have been largely repaired, and there are construction cranes in many places. Stores are stocked, and the city has trendy places to dine and drink. More important, neighboring Serbia

and Croatia say they’ve abandoned any territorial designs on Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Boris Tadic, the Serbian president, has publicly apologized for the July 1995 mass killings at Srebrenica, and his Croatian counterpart, Ivo Josipovic, said his predecessors had “sown an evil seed” in trying to partition Bosnia with Serbia.

There are new universities, among them the American University in Bosnia and Herzegovina, started by a Bosnian who studied in the United States. Students interviewed at the Sarajevo branch, however, said they had little confidence that their politicians could steer the country out of the morass.

“It’s a stalemate,” said Denim Kicic, 27, of Sarajevo. “Everything should change. But they blow smoke, and make worthless promises.”

While the U.S. continues to get universal credit for its 1995 intervention, which helped save the small country from extinction as major European states looked aside, the U.S. of late has been withdrawing in small and subtle ways.

The U.S. attitude baffles Bosnian political leaders, who say the best hope for the country is for the U.S. to appoint a special envoy. “I still think the U.S. should take advantage of the example of Bosnia,” Tihic said. “If the U.S. really wants to do something, they can do it. This is a project that the U.S. can show to the entire Muslim world.”

Abbas calls on Obama to impose peace deal

By Karin Laub The Associated Press

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas called on President Barack Obama on Saturday to impose a Mideast peace deal, reflecting growing frustration with what Palestinians see as Washington’s failure to wrangle concessions out of Israel.

In an unusually blunt appeal, Abbas said that if Obama believes Palestinian statehood is a vital U.S. interest, then the American leader must take forceful steps to bring it about.

“Since you, Mr. President ... believe in this, it is your duty to call for the steps in order to reach the solution and impose the solution — impose it,” Abbas said in a speech to leaders of his Fatah movement. “But don’t tell me it’s a vital national strategic American interest ... and then not do anything.”

Abbas spoke a day after meeting with Obama’s special Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, who has tried in vain for more than a year to bring Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table. Mitchell is expected to hold talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today.

Financial Continued from A1 Read on for a half-dozen ideas from the experts.

End the dollar’s supremacy The housing bubble was inflated with vast sums borrowed from the rest of the world. Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel-winning economist at Columbia, says the U.S. should surrender some of its borrowing power by trying to end the use of the dollar as the primary international reserve currency.

The United States basically borrows money by printing dollars and selling them, in the form of Treasury securities, to China and other governments that hold those dollars in their financial reserves. The United States then uses the borrowed money to buy foreign goods. This system, Stiglitz says, has, in effect, made the United States the world’s largest recipient of foreign aid.

The inflow of foreign money also tends to create asset bubbles, such as the spike in housing prices, making the American economy much more vulnerable to disruption and crisis. If other nations no longer needed dollars, the United States would not be able to borrow money as easily. “Knowing that it would be more difficult to borrow might curb America’s profligacy,” Stiglitz writes in “Freefall: America, Free Markets and the Sinking of the World Economy” (W.W. Norton, 2010).

Give bankruptcy a chance When Lehman Brothers went to bankruptcy court in September 2008 after the government refused to rescue it, credit markets froze. The authorities quickly caved in and bailed out a bunch of other companies.

Lehman’s disorderly collapse, conventional wisdom says, showed that bankruptcy courts could not handle huge financial failures, because they were too slow, lacked the expertise and were not designed to consider the intricate linkages that hold financial companies together. The bills in Congress seek to design a federal “resolution authority” — a way to arrange the orderly liquidation of giant financial companies — modeled after the process the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation uses to take over failed banks.

But Thomas Jackson, former president of the University of Rochester, says the panic was not caused by bankruptcy proceedings, but by letting Lehman fail in the first place. Under current law,

parts of Lehman went through bankruptcy, while other subsidiaries could not.

Among other changes, he calls for amending bankruptcy laws to cover companies — retail banks, stock and commodity brokers, and insurance companies — so that large, complex institutions could be fully dealt with in court.

And regulators would be able to pull the trigger.

“There’s a lot to be said for a judicial process rather than a government agency process,” says Jackson, author of an essay in “Ending Government Bailouts as We Know Them” (Hoover Institution, 2009). The legal system is more predictable and transparent and better established.

Bonds can regulate banks, too Many economists say that creditors, who determine how much banks can borrow and on what terms, are often better equipped than regulators to provide the market discipline that can keep banks from taking on too much risk.

Unlike stockholders, bondholders have little to gain when banks take on risk in the hope of reward.

What they want is a steady stream of income and the repayment of their loan. Corporate bonds tend to be held by institutions like mutual funds, hedge funds and insurance companies that have the time and resources to monitor their debtors.

Robert Pozen, chairman of MFS Investment Management and author of “Too Big to Save?

How to Fix the U.S. Financial System” (Wiley, 2010), wants to require banks to issue an existing kind of bond known as long-term subordinated debt. “Subordinated debt is bought by very sophisticated investors who insist on conditions like capital requirements and covenants to make sure that banks don’t take on too much risk,” he says.

Since their investment is not guaranteed and their time horizon is long term, such creditors have interests closely aligned with those of government regulators, says Pozen, who is also a lecturer at Harvard Business School.

In a 2000 report, the Fed studied requiring banks to hold subordinated debt, but the idea went nowhere. Banks don’t like it because such debt generally charges higher interest than other kinds of corporate bonds.

Compound Interest 101 A person borrows $100 at an annual interest rate of 20 percent.

How long does it take that debt to double? About four years. What share of American adults can figure that out? About one in three, says Annamaria Lusardi, an

“Financial literacy is an essential piece of knowledge that every student should have.

Just as reading and writing became skills that enabled people to succeed in modern economies, today it is impossible to succeed without being able to ‘read and write’ financially.”

— Annamaria Lusardi, an economist at Dartmouth College economist at Dartmouth College.

Lusardi wants to add financial literacy to high school curriculums. A crisis sparked in part by the decisions of millions of Americans to take on mortgage loans they could not afford has underscored her conviction that “lack of financial knowledge is alarmingly widespread.”

Only three states — Missouri, Tennessee and Utah — now require a course devoted to personal finance, according to the JumpStart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy, a nonprofit group.

Another 18 states incorporate some lessons into other courses.

“Financial literacy is an essential piece of knowledge that every student should have,” Lusardi wrote recently on her blog. “Just as reading and writing became skills that enabled people to succeed in modern economies, today it is impossible to succeed without being able to ‘read and write’ financially.”

Take the money out of banks A liberal economist at Boston University, Laurence Kotlikoff wants to dismantle the banking system.

Instead of checking accounts, people would place money in all-cash mutual funds. Savings accounts would be replaced by short-term funds that make conservative investments. And people could also place money in more adventurous funds that made mortgage loans, or extended lines of credit or played the market in derivatives.

It is a system designed to reduce risk taking by preventing banks from gambling with other people’s money.

Depositors now relinquish control when they place money in a bank. The institution decides how to use the money, and it keeps the profits — or suffers any losses.

Most banks also borrow large sums of money from investors to increase their lending and profits.

Under Kotlikoff’s model, called “limited purpose banking,” banks would manage families of mutual funds. No more borrowing. No more gambling. Except for office space, computers and furniture, banks could not hold any assets.

“Banks would simply function as middlemen,” Kotlikoff writes

in “Jimmy Stewart Is Dead: Ending the World’s Ongoing Financial Plague With Limited Purpose Banking” (Wiley, 2010). “Hence, banks would never be in a position to fail because of ill-advised financial bets.”

Race to the scene of a disaster When an airplane crashes, investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board race to the scene to determine what happened to avoid future disasters. There is no comparable federal agency to look into financial catastrophes. After the 2008 market crash, more than a year passed before an inquiry commission, established by Congress, held its first hearing.

Andrew Lo, a finance professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wants the government to create a safety board for the financial industry. Unlike the current commission, this agency would be insulated from political pressure, staffed by professionals and able to criticize the government as well as businesses.

“It is unrealistic to expect that market crashes, manias, panics, collapses and fraud will ever be completely eliminated from our capital markets,” Lo said at a House hearing in October. “But we should avoid compounding our mistakes by failing to learn from them.”

W B No new ideas to end Thai political crisis BANGKOK — Thailand’s embattled prime minister acknowledged he initially underestimated the protesters who have occupied central Bangkok for weeks, but he offered no initiatives today to end the country’s prolonged, sometimes bloody political crisis.

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva spoke in a nationally televised interview a day after the breakdown of talks with the protesters — who are demanding new elections — dashed hopes that a peaceful way could be found to end the stalemate.

Clashes have killed at least 26 people and wounded nearly 1,000 others since the “Red Shirt” protesters began occupying Bangkok’s commercial center more than a month ago.

Hamas fights charges it is too moderate Hamas, the Palestinian faction viewed by many in the West as a nest of terrorists and Islamic hardliners, is battling a curious new epithet: moderate. Fifteen months after a punishing Israeli offensive failed to dislodge Hamas from power in the Gaza Strip, rival resistance groups and some former supporters say the organization has become too political, too secular and too soft.

“People in the street say Hamas has changed,” said Abu Ahmed, spokesman for the military wing of Islamic Jihad, a Palestinian group in Gaza that complained that Hamas had arrested four of its militants as they tried to attack Israeli soldiers near the border.

Racing Continued from A1

True love torn apart by tragedy Justin Simpson and Rebecca Asla met as sophomores in biology class at Bend High School.

He invited her to be his date for a school dance, along with three other girls who did not have dates.

“It was very, very ‘high school,’” Justin remembers with a smile during an interview at his parents’ home in southeast Bend.

Justin and Becca, as she was known by most, developed an instant bond — a bond made stronger when, just a few months into the relationship, Justin was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Becca helped him make it through 12 grueling weeks of chemotherapy.

The treatment was successful, and to this day Justin has remained cancer-free.

They stayed together all through high school, after which they attended the University of Oregon together. In Bend’s Juniper Park on Christmas Day 2006, Justin proposed.

The couple decided to wait to marry until after they graduated from college.

In summer 2008, Justin and Becca were getting their feet wet in the job market and planning their wedding for the following August.

Both were working as interns, she for the Fred Meyer corporate office in Portland, he for Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors in Bend.

The high school sweethearts were on their way to making a life with each other.

“I’m a religious person, and I feel everything in your life happens for a reason,” Justin says.

“I was ready to get married and start a family.”

But one day at work in July 2008, Becca collapsed. Just hours later, she was dead. Justin somberly recalls the doctors’ explanation of how a blood clot in Becca’s leg had released and lodged in her heart.

“We’ll never know exactly what caused it, but we speculate it was her birth control,” Justin says matter-of-factly, determined to keep his emotions subdued.

His life suddenly ripped apart, Justin sat in his room and cried for weeks, he says. He lost his motivation for racing — and for anything, really.

Back to racing Wayne Simpson helped bring his son back from the depths of his grief. Wayne had bought a chassis to begin building a race car, and he urged Justin to compete again.

In 2009, Justin raced in the Northwest I-5 Late Model DIRTcar series, posting three top-five placings.

“At that time, racing was more of a distraction than anything else,” he admits. “We’re racecar people — that’s what we do.

When you’re on the track, that’s all you think about.

“That love for racing came out again and opened some doors for me to try to find some happiness, in a life that’s not very happy.

When I race, I don’t have to think about anything else. Maybe that’s the wrong thing to do, but for me, that’s what works, and we’re pretty darn good at doing it. We’ll see what this Richard Petty thing

“That love for racing ... opened some doors for me to try to find some happiness, in a life that’s not very happy. When I race, I don’t have to think about anything else. Maybe that’s the wrong thing to do, but for me, that’s what works, and we’re pretty darn good at doing it.”

— Justin Simpson brings, and try to go out and win it.”

This year Justin is gunning for a track championship at Cottage Grove Speedway, as well as other regional titles. He has finished in the top three in two races this year at Cottage Grove.

Justin learned about Richard Petty’s Driver Search on an autoracing Web site.

“This opportunity presented itself, so I figured: Why not just send in an application and see what happens?” he says. “I had no idea whether I would be selected or not.”

The event organizers liked Justin’s story and his racing experience.

The 12 Driver Search competitors — a diverse group of drivers currently racing in series ranging from open-wheel sprints to late models — will demonstrate their abilities and learn from experts, including pro racers Kyle Petty, Randy LaJoie and Marcos Ambrose.

Kyle Petty is the son of stockcar racing legend Richard Petty, whose Driver Search provides participants the chance to race at speeds up to 190 mph. At the end of the four-day training camp, one driver will be awarded an opportunity to qualify for an Automobile Racing Club of America event at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway on June 5, the day before a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race there.

ARCA is a developmental organization for NASCAR. “I’m not in this to lose,” Justin says. “But no matter what, I’ll come away with a great experience. They’re testing as many aspects as possible that a professional race-car driver will have to go through on a daily basis. Even if I don’t win, I’ll know what I need to do to continually progress and get to that level still.”

Getting noticed NASCAR people and other professional auto-racing insiders could be watching during the Driver Search, so Wayne Simpson compared the Richard Petty search to the popular TV talentsearch program “American Idol.”

“Somebody could come around

“He handles everything in an amazing way for someone so young who has gone through so much. He’s gone beyond himself to reach out to others. When I struggle with something, I just think of him and it makes me realize my problems are so small in comparison. And he has such a positive outlook.”

— Susan Simpson, Justin’s mother

Becca Asla’s engagement ring lives on a necklace around Justin’s neck, often buried under fire-protective gear as he competes. “I consider her my wife,” he says. and say, ‘We want you to make records for us’ — or in this case, ‘We want you to race for us — because we like what we saw,’” Wayne says.

Drivers pay to participate in Richard Petty’s Driver Search.

“Racing is an expensive sport,” Justin says, “and luckily I’m blessed to have support from my family to try and give this a go.”

The competitors chosen for the first Driver Search are from all regions of the country and range in age from 16 to 39. About half of them have a dirt-racing background, according to Justin.

“A lot of teams are looking for racers with dirt backgrounds,” the Bend driver explains, “because if you’ve always raced pavement, you might not have as much of a feel for sliding sideways and racing a loose race car.

It’s proven (that) a loose race car is a fast race car.”

He notes that successful NASCAR drivers such as Tony Stewart and Kasey Kahne come from dirt-racing backgrounds.

Becca is all around Becca’s death brought the Simpson and Asla families extremely close. Justin says he considers Becca’s mother and father, Scott and Susan Asla, another set of parents to him. The Aslas, in return, consider Justin their son-in-law.

“And we’re very honored for that,” says Scott Asla. “Especially with daughters — you always worry when they start dating that young, but with Justin, we never had that worry. You could tell they were soul mates from the beginning.

“He’s been through a lot for a young man,” Asla continues, “and

he’s done it with composure and with keeping his beliefs. He hasn’t fallen into a pity party. He’s used it as a positive builder, and that shows deep character.”

Signs of Becca are all around Justin. He wears his wedding band on his left hand and her engagement ring on a necklace.

“I consider her my wife,” Justin says.

In a garage on his parents’ property sits a shiny 1965 Ford Mustang he restored with his dad a few years back.

“She had a love-hate relationship with this car,” Justin says of Becca. “I was building this car when we were dating, so it took up some time she didn’t get to spend with me.”

She did, however, like the looks they would get from other motorists when she and Justin would take the Mustang out for a spin.

“She’d say, ‘I know they’re staring at the car, but it’s kind of fun, like they’re staring at us,’” Justin recalls. “We went to our senior prom in this car. It was always just me and her in the Mustang.”

An air-brushed photo image of Becca’s face now adorns the trunk of the car. Painted near the image are the words: “In Loving

Memory, Rebecca Caitlyn Asla Simpson, Nov. 22, 1986 – July 17, 2008.”

Becca, who was a skier and a soccer player in high school, was an aspiring businesswoman who just before she died had been appointed to the board of directors of the Women in Business club at UO. “She was a go-getter,” Justin says. “I’ve taken part of that with me.”

Justin’s mother, Susan Simpson, says she considers Justin her role model.

“He handles everything in an amazing way for someone so young who has gone through so much,” she says. “He’s gone beyond himself to reach out to others. When I struggle with something, I just think of him and it makes me realize my problems are so small in comparison. And he has such a positive outlook.”

Working toward a professional auto-racing career is part of moving on for Justin. And Becca, if she were here, would no doubt be encouraging him to chase his goal.

“Basically, racing is what I had to fall back on,” Justin explains.

“It allowed me to look at life again, and realize I can’t get her back, but I can experience what I still have and pursue my dream.

“But,” he concedes, “she meant more to me than that.”

Eye on Greece, finance leaders to attack debt The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Financial leaders, with a nervous eye on Greece, pledged Saturday to address the risks posed to the global recovery from high government debt.

But they also stressed that high unemployment in many countries remained a threat to a sustainable recovery from the deepest global downturn since the end of World War II. The Greek debt crisis has dominated the weekend discussions among finance officials from the world’s major economies.

The policy-setting panel of the 186-nation International Monetary Fund on Saturday cited signs that the recovery from the global downturn is gaining strength, but also noted difficult challenges lie ahead in such areas as growing government debt burdens and lingering high unemployment.

Army Continued from A1 “It is just a dark place,” said the soldier, who is waiting to be medically discharged from the Army.

“Being in the WTU is worse than being in Iraq.”

Created in the wake of the scandal in 2007 over serious shortcomings at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Warrior Transition Units were intended to be sheltering way stations where injured soldiers could recuperate and return to duty or gently process out of the Army. There are currently about 7,200 soldiers at 32 transition units across the Army, with about 465 soldiers at Fort Carson’s unit.

But interviews with more than a dozen soldiers and health care professionals from Fort Carson’s transition unit, along with reports from other posts, suggest that the units are far from being restful sanctuaries. For many soldiers, they have become warehouses of despair, where damaged men and women are kept out of sight, fed a diet of powerful prescription pills and treated harshly by noncommissioned officers. Because of their wounds, soldiers in Warrior Transition Units are particularly vulnerable to depression and addiction, but many soldiers from Fort Carson’s unit say their treatment there has made their suffering worse.

Some soldiers in the unit, and their families, described long hours alone in their rooms, or in homes off the base, aimlessly drinking or playing video games.

“In combat, you rely on people and you come out of it feeling good about everything,” said a specialist in the unit. “Here, you’re just floating. You’re not doing much.

You feel worthless.”

Drugs, addiction and suicide At Fort Carson, many soldiers complained that doctors prescribed drugs too readily. As a result, some soldiers have become addicted to their medications or have turned to heroin. Medications are so abundant that some soldiers in the unit openly deal, buy or swap prescription pills.

Heavy use of psychotropic drugs and narcotics makes it difficult to exercise, wake for morning formation and attend classes, soldiers and health care professionals said. Yet noncommissioned officers discipline soldiers who fail to complete those tasks, sometimes over the objections of nurse case managers and doctors.

At least four soldiers in the Fort Carson unit have committed suicide since 2007, the most of any transition unit as of February, ac-

Michael Crawford, an Army specialist, watches video images of his company at his home in Dexter, Mich. Crawford is waiting to be medically discharged from the Army.

Sgt. John Conant, a 15-year veteran, died in his sleep after taking morphine and Ambien in 2008.

Sgt. Keith Nowicki, an intelligence analyst, shot himself to death while on the phone with his wife in 2009.

cording to the Army.

Senior officers in the Army’s Warrior Transition Command declined to discuss specific soldiers. But they said Army surveys showed that most soldiers treated in transition units since 2007, more than 50,000 people, had liked the care.

Those senior officers acknowledged that addiction to medications was a problem, but denied that Army doctors relied too heavily on drugs. And they strongly defended disciplining wounded soldiers when they violated rules.

Punishment is meted out judiciously, they said, mainly to ensure that soldiers stick to treatment plans and stay safe.

“These guys are still soldiers, and we want to treat them like soldiers,” said Lt. Col. Andrew Grantham, commander of the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Carson.

The colonel offered another explanation for complaints about the unit. Many soldiers, he said, struggle in transition units because they would rather be with regular, deployable units. In some cases, he said, they feel ashamed of needing treatment.

“Some come to us with an identity crisis,” he said. “They don’t want to be seen as part of the WTU. But we want them to identify with a purpose and give them a mission.”

Sgt. John Conant, a 15-year veteran of the Army, returned from his second tour of Iraq in 2007 a changed man, according to his wife, Delphina. Angry and sullen, he reported to the transition unit at Fort Carson, where he was prescribed at least six medications a day for sleeping disorders, pain and anxiety, keeping a detailed checklist in his pocket to remind him of his dosages.

The medications disoriented him, Delphina Conant said, and he would often wander the house late at night before curling up on the floor and falling asleep. Then in April 2008, after taking morphine and Ambien, the sleeping pill, he died in his sleep. A coroner ruled that his death was from natural causes. He was 36.

Delphina Conant said she felt her husband never received meaningful therapy at the transition unit, where he had become increasingly frustrated and was knocked down a rank, to specialist, because of discipline problems.

“They didn’t want to do anything but give him medication,” she said.

Other soldiers and health care workers at Fort Carson offered similar complaints. They said that most transition unit soldiers were given complex cocktails of medications that raised concerns about accidental overdoses, addiction and side effects from interactions.

“These kids change their medication like they change their underwear,” said a psychotherapist who works with Fort Carson soldiers and asked that his name not be used because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the transition unit. “They can’t even remember which pills they’re taking.”

Some turned to heroin, which is readily available in the barracks, after becoming addicted to their pain pills, according to interviews with soldiers and health care professionals at Fort Carson.

“We’re all on sleep meds, anxiety meds, pain meds,” said Pfc. Jeffery Meier, who is in the transition unit and said he knew a dozen soldiers in the unit, including a recent roommate, who had used heroin. “The heroin is all that, wrapped into one.”

Fort Carson officials said that addiction to prescription drugs was no more prevalent in the Army than in the civilian world, and that medication was just one element of a balanced treatment that includes therapy. But they acknowledged that they had found heroin abuse in the transition unit and said they were trying to reduce the use of opiates and synthetic opiates to prevent addiction, not always with success.

‘Making things worse’ Like private outpatient clinics, Warrior Transition Units aim to provide highly individualized care and ready access to case managers, therapists and doctors. But the care is organized in a distinctly Army way: Noncommissioned officers, known as the cadre, maintain discipline and enforce rules, often using traditional drill sergeant toughness with junior enlisted soldiers.

At the top of the command are traditional Army officers, not health care professionals: Brig.

Gen. Gary Cheek, head of the Warrior Transition Command, was an artillery officer, and Grantham an intelligence officer.

Beneath them is what the Army calls its triad of care. Members of the cadre keep a close eye on in-

dividual soldiers, much like squad leaders in regular line units. Nurse case managers schedule appointments and assist with medications and therapy. And primary care managers — doctors, physicians’ assistants or nurse practitioners — oversee care and prescribe medicines.

The structure is intended to ensure that every soldier gets careful supervision, and that Army values and discipline are maintained.

But many soldiers at Fort Carson complained that discipline and insensitive treatment by cadre members made wounded soldiers feel as if they were viewed as fakers or weaklings.

James Agee, a former staff sergeant who transferred into the transition unit after returning from his second tour of Iraq in 2008, said he frequently heard cadre members verbally abuse medicated soldiers who were struggling to get out of bed for morning formation or stay awake for all-night duty.

“They would say, ‘These guys can’t do this because they are crazy,’” said Agee, who received a medical discharge from the Army.

“It would make you feel like you were inferior.”

One Army specialist in the unit,

who received diagnoses of posttraumatic stress syndrome and traumatic brain injury, said he was ordered to perform 24-hour guard duty repeatedly against the orders of his doctor. The specialist, who asked to remain anonymous because he feared repercussions, said he experienced flashbacks to Iraq during the long hours by himself.

Last year, The Associated Press reported that the transition unit at Fort Bragg in North Carolina had a discipline rate three times as high as the 82nd Airborne Division, the base’s primary occupant.

Cheek said the Army’s own survey of other major posts showed that discipline rates in transition units were about the same as in regular units.

He asserted that most cadre members, who receive extra pay and training for the job, do their jobs well, working long hours and spending weekends checking on soldiers. Discipline, he said, is a form of tough love.

“If we are going to maintain safe discipline, all rules must apply,” the general said. “We do have an expectation that our soldiers want to get better.”

Bureaucratic delays Sgt. Keith Nowicki was an intelligence analyst who was sent back early from his second deployment to Iraq in April 2008 because of severe post-traumatic stress disorder, said his wife, Ashley. Assigned to the Fort Carson transition unit, he spent nearly a year waiting for his medical discharge.

Instead of getting the help he hoped for, he spent much of the time in the unit alone, growing increasingly angry, drinking heavily and abusing Percocet. In early 2009, he separated from his wife. While on the phone with her in March 2009, he shot himself to death. He was due to be discharged at the end of the month.

Though Nowicki does not attribute her husband’s suicide to the long wait for his discharge, she said the slowness of the process and the lack of support from the transition unit added to his sense of hopelessness.

“It was just a bunch of red tape,” Nowicki said. “He would spend days trying to track down his own medical records.”

Army officials acknowledge

Payments Continued from A1 Called the National Forest Counties and Schools Coalition, it has recently unveiled a new website, has hired a lobbyist to direct the campaign and is planning to increase its budget by about 40 percent, to $500,000 a year.

Last year, those payments sent $133 million to Oregon counties and schools, according to figures compiled by the Association of Oregon Counties. In Central Oregon, Crook County received $2.1 million, Deschutes County received $2.8 million and Jefferson County received $496,000, according to the data.

That money’s important, said Crook County Judge Mike McCabe, but he’d much prefer that the federal government allow more logging in local forests.

A viable timber industry would mean far more jobs than the timber payments, he said.

“The Secure Rural Schools (program), it helps my county and my county general fund budget, but it doesn’t help my people,” McCabe said. “All in all, Crook County has a lot of pride, and they just like to have a job and go to work every day.”

All of Oregon’s federal lawmakers have signed up for an extension of the program. Merkley said he’s set aside his proposed bill to study the timber payments plan, in favor of the forest coalition’s plan to extend payments for 10 years at the current rate.

“The goal was to create a framework to say we’ve got to bring people in Oregon together to push forward,” Merkley said.

“The National (Forest Counties and Schools) Coalition came forward with a plan, so in some ways that substituted, because Oregon’s a part of that national coalition.”

Merkley introduced his study bill last year to fulfill a campaign pledge that his first bill would address the plight of rural counties that depend on the payments to balance their budgets. It never received a committee hearing or vote.

But is the coalition’s proposal realistic? Maybe not. After all, President Barack Obama has promised to freeze most domestic spending for the next three years.

“I think everyone realizes that would be a miraculously great outcome,” Merkley said of the coalition’s proposal.

When asked if he thought the coalition’s proposal was a viable plan, U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, said: “I’m sure they think it is.”

The Bulletin left a message with the Association of Oregon Counties seeking the group’s opinion on the timber payments extension. Lobbyist Marc Kelley returned the call. Kelley earned

“The (timber payments program) helps my county and my county general fund budget, but it doesn’t help my people. All in all, Crook County has a lot of pride, and they just like to have a job and go to work every day.”

— Mike McCabe, Crook County judge

that wait times for medical discharges at Fort Carson had grown. A major reason is that Fort Carson is part of a pilot program with the Department of Veterans Affairs in which the Army and the VA collaborate in evaluating soldiers’ injuries. The collaboration between the two bureaucracies is expected to speed up veterans benefits once a soldier leaves the Army, but it can lengthen the initial evaluation period, officials said.

Michael Crawford has been waiting more than a year for his medical discharge. As his anxiety and depression have worsened, so have his problems in the unit. His rank was recently reduced to private in punishment for overstaying leave and using marijuana.

But things are looking up, his mother believes: He will be able to stay with her in Michigan while awaiting his discharge. His mother, Sally Darrow, has already seen one son commit suicide. She believes that Michael would become the second if he had to return to Fort Carson and the transition unit.

“At home, with family and schoolmates, he’s dealing with things better,” Darrow said. “He’s not safe there.”

“What are you doing in John Day if you’re not doing ag and timber?

Nobody chooses to be impoverished; nobody chooses to have their economy bleed away.

It’s not fun, and I’m not seeing a change in federal policy necessary to improve that economy.”

— U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River $30,000 lobbying on timber payments for Douglas County in 2008, among other clients.

He said the plan is to use lawmakers from across the country, not just Oregonians, to push the timber payments cause.

“We’re bringing together a more disparate group of members from a more geographically distributed part of the U.S.,” Kelley said.

Walden, like Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, and Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Canby, said extending the program is important, especially with commercial logging drastically cut back in Central and Eastern Oregon.

“There’s no alternative out there, and counties are in worse and worse shape,” Walden said.

“I also would love to have us get into a bigger discussion about putting these jobs back into more productive use.”

Schrader said he doesn’t buy the argument that counties, 10 years into the timber payments program, have had enough time to find new ways to pay for government services. Schrader argued that the federal government needs to continue the payments until it lifts restrictions on logging.

“Absolutely it’s necessary, unless we’re allowed to cut a few bloody trees,” Schrader said.

“This is an ongoing thing that will go on to perpetuity to maintain the critical infrastructure” in rural counties.

Walden agreed.

“What are you doing in John Day if you’re not doing ag and timber?” Walden said. “Nobody chooses to be impoverished; nobody chooses to have their economy bleed away. It’s not fun, and I’m not seeing a change in federal policy necessary to improve that economy.”

DeFazio said he spoke with Obama last month about ways to bring more jobs to forest communities in Oregon, which Obama forwarded to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.

Getting Obama’s support will be the key to extending the program, DeFazio said, noting that a popular transportation bill hasn’t moved forward in the House due to Obama’s opposition. But with a re-election cycle looming in 2012, Obama may endorse a county payments bill to shore up support in the Northwest, DeFazio said.

“Our sort of ace in the hole is President Obama will be up for re-election, and Oregon, I expect, will very much be in play, and he promised to look for a permanent solution,” DeFazio said. “That’s going to be our opportunity to get something done and get the administration to support a proposal.”

States warn of ‘Obamacare’ scams B y Robbie Brown New York Times News Service

In Illinois, a telemarketer recently sold an elderly woman a fraudulent health insurance plan that supposedly protected her against “death panels,” the state insurance director says.

In Alabama, a con artist has been offering “government health care reform” insurance over the phone in exchange for customers’ bank account numbers, according to the local Better Business Bureau.

And in Kansas, law enforcement authorities are investigating reports of people identifying themselves as government employees and taking payments for “Obamacare” insurance.

Con artists in several states are seizing on the public’s financial struggles and confusion about the recent health care overhaul, the authorities say. So far, the frauds appear to be relatively infrequent and are often no more sophisticated than spam fax messages with blatant misspellings and no company letterhead.

HEALTH CARE REFORM But they have generated warnings from state insurance departments and Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of health and human services. The authorities say the elderly and the poor are especially vulnerable to the bogus plans, which have names like Obamacare and Obama Health Plan and promise affordable compliance with the new law.

The fraudsters often impersonate insurance agents and government workers.

“Confusion is the scammer’s best friend,” said James Quiggle, a spokesman for the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud, a consumer protection group. “It didn’t take long for them to realize that the health care law was a new marketing opportunity.”

Experts advise customers that most of the frauds are easy to

detect. Avoid insurers who use the term Obamacare (no such plan exists) or who say they can expedite Medicare drug coverage rebates (the government does not allow this service). And before signing anything, verify that the insurer is licensed by the government.

People who are still suspicious should call their state insurance departments or the Better Business Bureau.

“If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” said Michael McRaith, director of the Illinois Department of Insurance, who added that he had seen an “explosion of health insurance scams” since the overhaul debate began last year. “Our advice is be aggressive and informed.”

The authorities said they did not know of any arrests yet from frauds related to the new health care law. But they said cases were being investigated by the police and the antifraud divisions of state insurance departments.

The Nevada Independent Insurance Agents, a trade organi-

zation, has collected 25 different fax messages offering bogus health coverage, sometimes for as little as $29.95 per month.

“A $10 or $40 prescription card included,” advertises one fax, which contains the image of a caduceus, the emblem for doctors, but no company name.

“We can also provide dental care for you,” says another that bears an image of a tooth and offers customer service in Spanish.

Kay Lockhart, the organization’s president, said the term Obamacare was popular among dishonest marketers because it was familiar to the public; the tea party movement uses the term to refer derisively to the health care law.

In response to the frauds, the Nevada organization has started running advertisements statewide that spoof an imaginary fraudulent company called Swindol, Frod and Rhipoff Health Insurance.

“Not far from the truth,” the advertisements warn. “Question the company and their plan.”

Walden seeks 7th term, with Democrat opposing

Washington Week WASHINGTON — U.S. Senate leaders set the stage for another test of wills, this time over a financial regulation bill, when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on Friday started the process to bring the bill to a vote. The first procedural vote is expected Monday evening, with the final vote coming sometime in the days after.

In the meantime, lawmakers cleared several nominations and smaller bills from the congressional calendar.

Here’s how Oregon’s lawmakers voted last week.

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Greg Walden has seen his clout skyrocket among House Republicans over the past year. It’s still six months until the general election, but his Democratic challenger Joyce Segers has already signaled that she plans to try to use that new influence against him.

“His focus has been to funnel money into candidates for the Republican Party,” Segers said. “He is now actively pursuing that part of his new career, so he no longer takes as much time ... for the needs of the people in the district.”

Walden, R-Hood River, is seeking his seventh term in the House, representing the sprawling district that includes Central, Eastern and nearly all of Southern Oregon.

He’s running unopposed in the Republican primary. When asked about Segers’ criticism, Walden was quick to rattle off a list of his recent visits to the sprawling district, including meetings in Bend, La Pine and Ontario scheduled in the next week.

U.S. Senate • CONFIRMING MARISSA DEMEO AS AN ASSOCIATE JUDGE FOR THE SUPERIOR COURT OF WASHINGTON, D.C. Passed 66-32 on Tuesday.

Demeo is a magistrate judge for the D.C. Superior Court’s criminal division and a former assistant U.S. attorney. Some Republicans opposed Demeo in part because of her experience as a lobbyist for the Mexican American Legal Aid and Defense Fund and her work for other legal aid groups.

Actually, the Procession of the Species drew a mix of real and imaginary — plus a pirate

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

In his green and yellow turtle suit, Karl Boldenow brought an appropriately Earth Day-flavored sensibility to the Procession of the Species parade on Saturday morning.

“The turtle costumes are actually really old,” said Karl, 18, explaining how they’d been used repeatedly as Halloween costumes.

“They’re recycled.”

Bend’s version of Halloween in April, the Procession of the Spe-

ELECTION

cies parade, has been held on the Saturday closest to Earth Day every year since 2000. This year’s version brought hundreds of local residents out into the streets of downtown Bend dressed as species both real and imagined, from tigers, crows and pigs to dragons, fairies and at least one pirate.

The kids from Cascades Academy, a Bend private school, arrived at the parade wearing blue denim ponchos, the “rivers” for the steelhead hats atop their heads.

Voters must register

by Tuesday

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Tuesday is the deadline for residents to register to vote for the May 18 primary election.

Voters will decide in May which federal, state and local politicians advance to the November general election, and whether any local money measures will pass.

Some state and local nonpartisan offices are also up for election in May. Residents can register to vote online at Oregonvotes.org. This deadline applies to people who are not currently registered to vote in Oregon, such as those who recently moved to the state or turned 18, said Deschutes County Clerk Nancy Blankenship.

See Register / B5

Passed 419-0 on Wednesday.

The bill, which would cost about $3.7 billion over five years, increases funding for family members and others who care for veterans injured in combat, including funding for groups that aid homeless veterans. The bill includes about $1.7 billion for caregivers to veterans injured in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.

ENDANGERED SPECIES

Prineville performs some ‘chess moves’ to protect itself from steelhead liability

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

If a steelhead, cousin to the rainbow trout, is accidentally killed in Prineville, the city is protected from the criminal and financial repercussions that come with harming an endangered species — at least for now.

Two years ago, steelhead swam in the Crooked River for the first time in four decades. For some of the baby fry, their maiden voyage started in downtown Prineville at Ochoco Creek. Because steelhead are an endangered species, their survival is critical. When the slew of volunteers released the fish into the creek, the reality of what could happen if a fish was killed — a possible $10,000

fine for each fish and criminal prosecution — started to sink in.

The releasing of the fry sparked a process that has cost the city of Prineville time, money and will affect everything from where the city can develop to how its wastewater is treated.

“Releasing a threatened species 100 yards from City Hall, you understand you better be proactive about things,” said Prineville City Engineer Eric Klann.

City officials knew they needed to act fast. So, in a series of what one official called “chess moves,” the city has worked diligently to protect itself and the fish.

The city of Prineville is working on both short- and long-term

“Releasing a threatened species 100 yards from City Hall, you understand you better be proactive about things.”

Do your brakes grab?

Do your brakes squeal when you step on the pedal?

— Prineville City Engineer Eric Klann liability protection. Earlier this month, city officials received a letter from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration granting them two years of protection. So, while the city continues to plan how to best serve the fish population if there is an accidental “taking” or death of a steelhead, NOAA will not sue the city. The letter doesn’t protect the city from an outside agency

suing, but it would show due diligence in court if that situation should occur.

The city joined forces with the Central Oregon Irrigation District, which is going through a similar process to protect itself from litigation.

“We’ve positioned ourselves to be protected at all steps through the process,” Klann said.

Three-year-old Jackson Shea watches the action while mother Jennifer Shea adjusts the cape of his bull costume at the Procession of the Species parade Saturday morning in downtown Bend.

Procession Continued from B1 Science teacher Ann-Marie Eklund said her students had made the costumes as part of a project studying steelhead, the school’s mascot.

Eklund said the science lesson would continue during the parade. “It’s our mission to swim upstream,� Eklund said, explaining the students’ plan to get out in front of the parade, and work their way backward through the crowd. “We did it last year, and no one seemed to mind. We’re steelhead,

we gotta do it!�

Dimitri Bignell, of Bend, initially denied wearing a gorilla suit. “I forgot to shave last night,� he said.

Dimitri, 15, said the head of his gorilla costume was too hot and uncomfortable for the parade.

Instead, he topped off the body of the suit with a black fedora and a red feather boa, an accessory provided by his younger sister, Rowan.

Rowan, 5, said she’d dressed as a cat, her favorite animal for obvious reasons. “Because they’re snuggly and warm,� she said.

With a set of wings on his back

and his face covered in plastic spiders, scorpions, grasshoppers and millipedes, Jack Deaver said he was pleased to represent the less snuggly side of the animal kingdom. “I like bugs,� said Jack, 6.

Jack’s mom, Carrie Deaver, 35, said getting her son to don an animal-related costume of any kind counted as a victory. “Last year, he was Iron Man. Kids hear dress-up, and, well, you know,� she said. “This year, we decided to go a little more with the theme.�

O Investigation $18.5M Scouts ruling could be 1st of several into spending adds spice to treasurer race

By William McCall

The Associated Press

By Tim Fought The Associated Press

PORTLAND — Within 48 hours of the death of State Treasurer Ben Westlund last month, an upand-comer in Oregon politics was named to succeed him. One of the first things Ted Wheeler learned from his new staff was that The Oregonian newspaper was investigating the luxe life led by the employees who oversee the state’s $67 billion investment portfolio.

Since then, the headlines from the paper’s investigation into $495-a-night hotel bills and double dipping on meal expenses have put pizazz into a race that wasn’t even scheduled this year.

After the contests in both parties for nominations to run for governor, a Democratic primary contest for treasurer leads a short list of statewide races that includes one for a Supreme Court seat and another for state school superintendent.

Wheeler was chairman of the government in Multnomah County, the state’s most populous, when Westlund died March 7 of a recurrence of lung cancer with two years left in his term. Two mornings later, Gov. Ted Kulongoski named Wheeler treasurer, on the day of the 5 p.m. deadline for filing as a candidate to complete the term.

Wheeler knew by that point he had a challenger in the primary May 18, Democratic state Sen. Rick Metsger of Welches. The winner faces Republican state Sen. Chris Telfer of Bend in November.

Metsger is among the Democrats, including Kulongoski and House Speaker Dave Hunt, who have pressed Wheeler to move quickly to deal with the stories that showed the 13 employees in the treasurer’s office traveled well as they made their rounds of investment companies, advisory boards and partnership meetings.

The companies, which charge the state investment fees, pick up the tabs.

‘Wall Street in Salem’ The investment officers are widely credited with generating returns well above average for the portfolio that largely consists of public pension dollars, and the traveling is considered necessary to oversee the investments.

But the Democrats are fretting about the election year image of state employees living lavishly as they hobnob with financiers while Oregonians suffer through a weak economic recovery, with unemployment stuck at well above 10 percent and foreclosures rising.

“We have our own little version of Wall Street in Salem,” Metsger said last week.

“Ted’s the boss now,” Metsger said. “He’s not responsible for what happened in the past, but he is responsible for change.”

Wheeler says he has moved judiciously to “button it down,” announcing a series of steps such as requiring investment officers to pay for their own golf and other entertainment, barring gifts, clamping down on first-class travel, and ending practices that allowed the investment officers to claim “per diem” expenses for meals that investment companies had already paid for.

He plans a series of reviews, including one eventually by the state’s ethics commission.

Other races While the contest between Metsger and Wheeler sets up a match in November, the races for the Supreme Court and education posts are nonpartisan, under state law, and the May ballot will be decisive. Whoever gets a majority in the primary wins the office.

The court race pits an appeals judge, Jack Landau, known for writing a landmark decision that forbids employers from discriminating against gay employees in providing benefits, and an administrative law judge for state agencies, Allan Arlow.

ELECTION Other statewide votes this May Oregon voters have two statewide measures to consider in the May 18 primary. Both are constitutional amendments proposed by the Legislature that allow greater latitude for state borrowing for school and college buildings: • Measure 68 allows state borrowing to help local school districts build schools. The districts would have to issue bonds to match the state’s.

Backers say the measure will help districts that have had a hard time getting voter approval to replace aging structures. The measure would also extend the scope of the projects to include such items as equipment.

• Measure 69 would allow universities and community colleges to use general obligation bonds to buy existing structures. The institutions currently use state borrowing for new construction. The measure’s backers say the constitution isn’t clear as to whether they can also use bonds to buy existing buildings, and this measure explicitly provides that authority.

The winner succeeds Justice Michael Gillette, who is retiring after 25 years. Judicial rules limit electioneering by the candidates.

In the state bar association’s poll, Landau was the overwhelming choice of Oregon lawyers who responded — only a fifth did. He bested Arlow 1,850-222.

In a campaign document filed with the bar association, Landau cited two cases he’s most proud of. One was a 1998 decision in a case known as Tanner that has reverberated through Oregon’s debate over gay rights — which has included a brief window of gay marriages in Multnomah County, a statewide vote to ban gay marriage and state approval of domestic partnerships.

The other involved a Roseburg sex club that featured sex shows in private rooms. The appeals court held that the free speech provisions of the state constitution don’t protect live sex acts. In 2005, the state Supreme Court overturned that decision 5-1, with Gillette writing the decision.

Arlow has specialized in telecommunications law, working in Chicago, Maryland and Washington, D.C., in private practice and for companies such as Ameritech, according to his bar filing. On the West Coast, he has been an administrative law judge for two state agencies, the Public Utility Commission and the Board of Maritime Pilots, and for the federal Bonneville Power Administration.

He cited his work for the utility commission — after the breakup of the Bell telephone monopoly — on the filing of what became Qwest to enter the long-distance market.

In the race for superintendent of public instruction, two-term incumbent Democrat Susan Castillo faces Republican state Rep. Ron Maurer of Grants Pass, who acknowledges the race is, “politically, a huge uphill climb.”

Even though the race is officially nonpartisan, it’s generally contested along partisan lines. With a growing voter registration advantage, Democrats have had a lock on statewide races in recent years.

And Castillo has support from organized teachers, a potent force.

She’s emphasized her advocacy for education spending and work on high school graduation requirements. Maurer says national reports show the state’s schools sliding into mediocrity and says he would reshape the agency’s emphasis toward service to school districts.

PORTLAND — An Oregon jury’s decision to award a man $18.5 million in punitive damages in his case against the Boy Scouts of America will likely be the first of many financial hits the Scouts will take as it prepares to defend itself against a series of sex abuse lawsuits.

The jury on Friday ordered the Scouts to make the payment to Kerry Lewis, the victim of sex abuse by a former assistant Scoutmaster in Portland in the early 1980s.

The case was the first of six filed against the Boy Scouts in the same court in Oregon, with at least one other separate case pending. If mediation fails to

settle the other cases, they also could go to trial.

Lawyers for Lewis had asked the jury to award at least $25 million to punish the Boy Scouts for what the jury had already agreed in the first phase of the trial was reckless and outrageous conduct.

They also noted the Boy Scouts had never apologized to Lewis, who said Friday at a news conference that the verdict shows that “big corporations can’t be above the law.”

Lewis added that an apology “would mean something to me, but I’m not expecting it.”

The jury decided on April 13 that the Boy Scouts were negligent for allowing former assistant Scoutmaster Timur Dykes

to associate with Scouts, including Lewis, after Dykes admitted to a Scouts official in 1983 that he had molested 17 boys.

The jury awarded Lewis $1.4 million in compensatory damages with that verdict and agreed the Boy Scouts were liable for punitive damages to be determined in the second phase of the trial that ended Thursday.

Scouts officials declined to comment on details of the case because other cases are pending, but issued a statement saying it maintains a “rigorous” system to screen Scout leaders.

“The Boy Scouts of America has always stood against child abuse of any kind,” it said.

The verdict came as the Boy

Woman unlocks history buried in 4,200 graves

By Shaun O’Dell The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — You wouldn’t know it by counting the tombstones, but there are approximately 4,200 people buried at the Eugene Pioneer Cemetery across from McArthur Court at the University of Oregon.

After two years of work spent in libraries and archives, Dorothy Brandner of the Eugene Pioneer Cemetery Association has compiled a complete database, including some annotated history, on all the good folk resting in peace at the cemetery.

The daunting task of researching and procuring the information, from library newspaper archives and funeral homes, stems from Brandner’s love for genealogy — and a suggestion made by her dentist as he was cleaning her teeth.

Dr. Robert Carmichael, it turns out, is a board member of the cemetery association.

Carmichael first asked Brandner if she’d help create a digital map of the cemetery. She then got in touch with Quentin Holmes and Holmes’ mother, Ruth Lake Holmes, the cemetery association’s president and secretary-treasurer, respectively.

When Brandner, 69, realized that she didn’t have the best software for mapping, she embraced Quentin Holmes’ suggestion that she instead put it on the Internet.

The now-available database is searchable by first and last name.

Type a name into the search fields and you’ll find an annotated resource about that person, if any information is available.

A full name, birthplace and date, date and place of death, a plot number and a block number are all provided when the search is performed. Searching the cemetery map, which can be found on a link at the top of the Web page, will help identify the individual’s burial site.

“What she has done is unlocked the history and the mystery of this cemetery,” said Quentin Holmes, 71, of Brandner’s efforts.

Identifying how many people are actually buried in the cemetery was more than a small challenge. In some cases, more than one body is buried in a plot, or a body has been removed to another burial place, Brandner said.

In the 1960s, it was thought that the cemetery would have to be moved, according to Holmes. Some families, worried about a third party moving their loved one, opted to relocate the body themselves.

That is why some records in a printed book copy of Brandner’s database show bodies having been moved.

The 2-inch-thick book, organized by cemetery block and grave plot, includes a

For an aging population, care from aging workers

By John Leland New York Times News Service

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — One recent morning Antonia Antonaccio, a home care aide, got a call to help an elderly couple whose regular aide could not make it.

The regular aide, who is 68 years old, had thrown out her back.

Antonaccio said she empathized. Sometimes her legs hurt from going up and down stairs.

“But it’s nothing I pay attention to,” she said. “I don’t have the time.”

Antonaccio is 73.

In an aging population, the elderly are increasingly being taken care of by the elderly. Professional caregivers — almost all of them women — are one of the fastest-growing segments of the American work force, and also one of the grayest.

A recent study by PHI National, a nonprofit organization that advocates on behalf of caregivers, found that in 2008, 28 percent of home care aides were over age 55, compared with 18 percent of women in the overall work force.

The organization projects that from 2008 to 2018, the number of direct care workers, which includes those in nursing homes, will grow to 4.3 million from 3.2 million. The percentage of older

Mary-Lou O’Neill, 73, right, takes care of Grace Jackson, 101, at Jackson’s home in Providence, R.I. A recent study found that 28 percent of home care aides were older than 55 in 2008. For women in the overall work force, the number was just 18 percent. caregivers is projected to grow to 30 percent from 22 percent.

The average caregiver in Rhode Island from Home Instead Senior Care, the private agency that employs Antonaccio, is about 60, said Valerie Topp, chief operating officer for the state franchise. Younger aides often do not work out, Topp said,

adding that clients frequently ask that the agency not send over someone too young.

“The older ones came to us after being family caregivers, so they understood the stresses that families were under,” Topp said. “They came with respect for age. They didn’t see age as a disability.”

Carmine Spino, 89, and his wife, Mary, 88, who are hoping to live out their lives without moving to a nursing home, are two of Antonaccio’s clients. Antonaccio often shares stories about growing up in Italy during World War II; Carmine Spino served in the war — a common ground. They know the same music, share the

same cultural reference points.

And as Mary Spino, who was always quiet, has become more withdrawn with the onset of dementia, Carmine Spino relies on their caregivers for conversation.

“We talk about our experiences,” he said of Antonaccio. “I don’t look at her as a stranger.”

Caregivers often nurse their own aches and pains, or manage their medications, as they tend to those of their clients, said Dorie Seavey, director of policy research for PHI National. Clients who have to be lifted may not be suited to some older workers, she said.

But the industry does not have career paths for workers as they get older, putting a strain on them to continue with the most physically demanding aspects of

the job, Seavey said. “If you look at older women as an asset, to train younger workers, they can be valuable.” Antonaccio worked in the jewelry industry for 40 years before retiring, then went to work as a caregiver after her husband’s death, drawn by the flexible hours. She did not need health benefits because she was eligible for Medicare. She did need a sense of purpose.

“At 65, I felt my life was ending,” she said. “I took care of my mother, then my mother-in-law, then my husband, then I went into this. And I don’t have any intention to stop.”

Home Instead pays her roughly half the $19.25 an hour it charges clients in Rhode Island.

Her age, she said, makes her more sympathetic to the needs of her clients.

Bend residents see Halley’s Comet 100 years ago 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 24, 1910 BIGGER, BETTER BEND PLANNED Bend’s water system is to be enlarged, electric lighting will be installed, and the clearing and street-making in the townsite’s additions pushed to completion.

Such are the announcements made by Frank Robertson, head of the Bend Townsite Company, who returned from Portland on Monday.

On April 8th, the new company was incorporated with capital of $250,000, as previously reported, and its articles filed with the secretary of state.

Mr. Robertson has secured the services of Mr. Bade, of Jacobsen & Bade of Portland, a well-known water works engineer, who will come to Bend by May 1st and take charge of the enlargement of the present water system. The existing method of pumping by steam will be superseded by water power, this to be obtained from a 50-inch water wheel, which will be installed as soon as possible in connection with the new dam.

Work on a flume to operate the wheel commences immediately.

JAPANESE CONSUL AT BEND Y. Numano, Japanese consul at Portland, was last week one of the many Bend visitors. The Mikado’s representative has been making an extended tour of Central Oregon, his curiosity having been attracted by the widespread interest now focused on the Deschutes Valley.

The Japanese visitor expresses himself most enthusiastically concerning the future of the country with the advent of transportation in no small measure basing his judgment on the remarkable development that has taken place even without the railroads. Particularly, Mr. Numano is attracted

by Bend, which he declares well merits its title of “The Beautiful,” and he plans a return here for a vacation trip later in the summer.

At that time, he will make a closer examination into the economic

Y E S T E R D AY possibilities and investment openings than the brevity of this trip permitted. Central Oregon, says Mr. Numano, is the most talked of territory in all the West and is regarded by settlers and investors as offering the greatest opportunities.

COMET DOESN’T MISS BEND Bend citizens spotted Halley’s Comet late Monday night. L.D. Weist says he spotted the comet first, locating it in the eastern sky, about in range with the top of Pilot Butte. Although it appeared to the observer to equal the moon in brightness, like Schneider’s dog, its “tail was cut short”; indeed, so abbreviated was it as to be entirely invisible.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 24, 1935 FOURTH OF JULY EVENTS PLANNED Climaxed by a river pageant ever more picturesque than that of 1934, Bend is to sponsor another all-Oregon Fourth of July celebration this year. M.P. Cashman was named general chairman of the event at a committee meeting. Various committee chairmen are to be announced in the near future.

This year’s celebration is to be a two-day affair on July 3 and 4, preceded on the night of July 2 by a prize fight and dances.

One of the highlights this year will be a two-day rodeo, with prizes to be offered that will attract to Bend leading riders and rangemen of eastern Oregon.

Other features of the celebration will include a frontier parade, in which Indians, cowboys and cowgirls will take part; a parade of pets for the special benefit of children, ball games and dances.

The Mirror Pond river pageant, a water feature that has already attracted statewide attention, will be held on the river while fireworks blaze in the sky over

Bend. Last year’s water pageant attracted to Bend the greatest crowd ever to witness a spectacle in the eastern part of the state, the Pendleton Roundup alone excepted. It was estimated that around 14,000 people watched the majestic floats as they moved slowly down the picturesque Mirror Pond last July.

Members of the committee are confident they can put on a “show” this July that will be even better than that of last year.

NEW BALL PARK IS TAKING FORM Work on Bend’s new baseball park and athletic center, formerly known as the O’Donnell field, is well under way this week, with grading work completed, a survey for grandstands and bleachers made, and a fence along the railroad right-of-way started.

ELVIS BACK IN SWING AS CIVILIAN It didn’t take Elvis Presley long to get back into the rock ’n’ roll swing of civilian life.

Army life was much different, but close friends say it didn’t take Elvis long to settle into his old routine of sleeping during the day — and playing at night.

Elvis is hard to reach because there’s always a cluster of the curious outside “Graceland,” where the gatekeeper knows just who to permit inside.

The gate opens wide, for example, for Elvis’ No. 1 girlfriend, Anita Wood, who recently died her blond hair brunette to match Elvis’.

The entertainer leaves tonight for Hollywood for his first movie since getting out of the service.

The movie, titled “G.I. Blues,” will depict Army life in Germany.

Elvis’ first post-Army record, “Stuck On You,” is a hot seller in the top 10.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending April 24, 1985 SODA, NOT SUDS, NOW FLOWS AT STATION Deschutes Station owner Gary Olson now serves almost as

much milk as beer.

It tastes better with the birthday cake.

It you have not yet noticed, things have changed at the Deschutes Station, one of Bend’s most popular taverns in the late 1970s and early ’80s.

The tavern earned its reputation with country rock performer Ron Lloyd and other special promotions — and by sponsoring a series of amateur boxing matches.

But the best fight you can see in the Deschutes Station these days is between two 6-year-olds scuffling over a Nerf ball.

The Station, which has dropped the tavern from its name and has a chicken on its sign instead of a stagecoach, is now a family restaurant aiming to attract children.

A giant blue slide greets those who enter now. A basketball rim is mounted on one wall, and children can shoot hoops with Nerf balls.

The last of three pool tables will be removed soon, and Olson is hoping to install a carousel.

The big screen is still there, and Olson did close the restaurant last week to show the middleweight fight between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns.

But much of the time the televisions will be turned to cartoons or Disney movies, and the shouts

for a knockdown will be replaced by the sounds of children singing “Happy Birthday.”

You can still get a beer at the Station, but you can now also have a soft ice cream cone.

The Station — long known for its varied selection of hamburgers — has added a children’s menu and is hoping to attract more dinner customers.

Olson, a former football and baseball coach at Bend High School, owns and operates the restaurant with his wife, Kathy, who is a teacher.

He does much of the cooking and he also is the big fellow in the “Chester the Chicken” suit who shows up at all birthday parties at the restaurant.

Congress Continued from B1 “I would just say I’m out there almost every weekend,” Walden said.

Over the past 18 months, Walden has reaped the dividends of seniority and a close relationship with Republican leaders.

He became second-in-command at the National Republican Congressional Committee just after the 2008 general election, picked up the top Republican seat on the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and then earlier this year joined the House GOP leadership team as “leadership chair” of the Republican caucus.

In his Republican leadership slot, Walden has headed up a push to increase transparency in the House, including positing bills online for 72 hours before a vote.

Walden said his new responsibilities have given him a direct impact on Republican decision-making, as well as a way to quickly influence decisions for the benefit of his district.

As an example, Walden cited the recent House Republican decision to forego earmark requests this year. Walden said leaders initially said drought aid requests would be considered earmarks, but when Walden protested, on behalf of the Klamath basin, they changed the policy.

“Given my role at the leadership table, I actually have more influence quicker,” Walden said.

Segers is also running unopposed. She could hardly be more different from the incumbent.

While Walden has represented Central and Eastern Oregon for decades, first in the Oregon Leg-

Steelhead

islature, then the U.S. House, Segers has never held political office and moved to Ashland from Florida last September.

She owned a medical billing service for 20 years, and said the health care debate was one thing that drove her to run for office.

“Owning a medical billing service was an eye-opener for what’s going on in health care,” Segers said. “I saw and spoke with literally thousands and thousands of people over the years that were in trouble because of insurance companies.”

Walden was one of three lawmakers to win the National Rural Health Association’s lawmaker of the year award this year. He also won the award in 2006. His biggest contribution to rural health in the past Congress was a pair of amendments to the House version of the health care reform bill that required rural representation on the boards that recommend Medicare poli-

Age: 53 Hometown: Hood River Family: Married, one son Employment: Owned radio stations in Hood River and The Dalles for more than 20 years Political, community experience: Former state legislator, in his sixth term in Congress cy changes. Those amendments passed unanimously out of the Energy and Commerce Committee, but were stripped from the bill when it reached the House floor.

Segers also volunteered for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign.

When it comes to jobs, Segers said green energy opportunities can create some new jobs for the region, although she admitted she has “a lot to learn” about the timber, agriculture and water issues that are often litmus tests in rural parts of the district.

She also proposed a new stimulus program aimed at lending money to small businesses that had plans for profitability.

“I think it’s very important that we do create a stimulus to create new businesses,” Segers said.

Walden raised just over $1 million through the first three months of this year, according to the Federal Election Commission, including $480,000 from political action committees.

He had $828,189 cash on hand.

Walden also started a political action committee, the New Pio-

neers PAC, which has collected $36,000 over the past two years.

It has spent about half of that amount, mostly in donations to other politicians.

Segers raised $7,705, $1,750 from her own pocket, through March 31 and had $4,639 cash on hand.

Walden has had little legislative influence since the Democrats took control of the U.S. House in 2006, but his Oversight subcommittee seat put him in the public eye a few times over the past two years. He made the biggest splash in February 2009, during a hearing on the salmonella contamination of products made with peanuts sold by the Peanut Corp. of America.

Walden held up a jar of recalled peanut products, wrapped in yellow caution tape, and challenged the Peanut Corp. president to eat one.

The picture of Walden holding the tape-covered jar made several national papers and is still printed alongside articles tracking congressional food safety efforts.

He’s also continued to lead on some issues, although without success so far: overhauling federal forest management, particularly how the law considers woody debris from federal lands, when it’s used for biomass power. Walden said the objections

by Democratic leaders have prevented much of his agenda from moving forward.

“When you’ve got committee chairs or a speaker (of the House) who doesn’t want to move on an issue, it’s hard to hold votes,” Walden said.

Continued from B1 Residents who are already registered to vote and need to change their addresses can do so for several more weeks at county clerks’ offices. The deadline to update addresses is 8 p.m. May 18.

For voters to change their party registrations online, they must do so by Tuesday.

Election officials in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties said the pace of voter registration has been moderate in this midterm election year, and in general, no clear trends have emerged.

Trisha Shrum, election manager at the Crook County Clerk’s Office, said she has noticed more voters changing their registrations to Republican and nonaffiliated, and some people have told her they’re just tired of politics.

In Bend, the Oregon House District that flipped from majority Republican to Democratic registered voters in the 2008 presidential election is still home to more Democrats, according to the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office.

House District 54, which encompasses Bend and Deschutes River Woods, elected Rep. Judy Stiegler, D-Bend, in 2008.

Registered Democrats still outnumbered Republicans on Friday in the district, by 17,035 to 15,412, according to the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office.

of a federal program that targets drugs in high-intensity trafficking areas.

After a record seizure of 300,000 pot plants statewide in 2007, the number fell to about 81,000 in 2008 because heavy snowpacks in the high country shortened the season, but then last year authorities seized 228,000 plants valued at up to $2,100 each from about 40 outdoor pot gardens across Oregon, Gibson said.

JORDAN VALLEY — Malheur County Sheriff Andrew Bentz eases his white Ford Explorer across a shallow, gurgling stream in a highdesert arroyo.

“We have marijuana gardens north and south of us for a couple of hundred yards in both directions,” Bentz whispers as he stops the unmarked SUV beside a tangle of willows along Little White Horse Creek.

Within earshot are probably a dozen armed growers working for a Mexican drug family, he says. They have a camouflaged lookout on a nearby rocky knob with a commanding view of nearby roads.

It’s springtime and that means pot growers are making their way back to southeast Oregon. They’re setting up camps, preparing soil for planting and laying out miles of PVC drip-irrigation lines.

It also means counties are gearing up for a new season of aggressive raids on pot gardens.

Bentz is one of many rural Oregon sheriffs overwhelmed with the difficulties and expense of finding and cracking down on huge pot grows.

Some of them are cautioning ranchers, anglers, hikers and other backcountry travelers to steer clear of remote areas that could hide the plantations.

“This gets pretty personal,” Bentz said. “This spoils the country for me. If you go out

there, you are possibly subjecting yourself to an armed encounter, assault with a firearm, coercion or kidnapping.”

After dark here, nondescript vans, SUVs and canopy-topped pickups, many with stolen license plates, crawl along narrow, unpaved roads, transporting thousands of cartons of fragile, nursery-raised marijuana seedlings, sacks of Miracle-Gro and other lawn fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, groceries and firearms.

At sunup, the traffic disappears, leaving only tire tracks.

The grows aren’t necessarily increasing in number, but in size, said Chris Gibson, director

Continued from B1 Receiving the two-year letter of protection is only the first shield the city needs. But it puts city officials closer to the next goal: labeling the steelhead an experimental population. The designation would mean if any accidental harm was done to the fish, the city would be more protected than it would be without the designation.

It would give the city time to create a habitat conservation plan, a contract with the federal government showing all the ways the city is working to avoid the accidental killing of the fish. It considers the species’ needs, how water flows affect the species and how to ensure it survives.

Like every move the city makes regarding steelhead, the habitat conservation plan would further protect it from litigation and help the fish survive.

Since the plan could take several more years to complete, officials are working on a longterm designation of protection.

If granted, it would be the first time a city or district received the designation from NOAA. And it would protect the entire region from repercussions of accidental destruction of the fish.

Public hearings on the special designation are expected to start this summer.

By the time the designation expires, city officials would have finished the habitat conservation plan.

The reintroduction of the steelhead was a requirement of the 50-year license for the Pelton-Round Butte dams owned

by Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Initially, officials were hoping to use hatchery steelhead for the reintroduction, which at the time weren’t considered to be endangered. But in 2006, a federal court ruled the hatchery steelhead are also endangered. The new designation made it more complicated for cities, counties and government agencies.

“It wasn’t our original intent to do that, but we were left with no choice,” said Scott Carlon, with NOAA. Klann, with the city of Prineville, said the process has been burdensome for the small city.

In the future, Klann said, development will have to ensure fertilizer from lawns won’t run off into the river. And he’s hoping a future wetland could serve as a help to the fish, by not only treating the city’s wastewater but also helping put muchneeded cold water back into the Crooked River during the summer months.

“The city of Prineville has laid off staff during this economic downturn, and there are no funds for this,” Klann said. “Out of nowhere, we had to come up with about $75,000 plus a ton of staff time.”

Robert Hicks was a leader in armed civil rights group

By Douglas Martin New York Times News Service

Someone had called to say the Ku Klux Klan was coming to bomb his house. The police said there was nothing they could do.

It was the night of Feb. 1, 1965, in Bogalusa, La. The Klan was furious that Robert Hicks, a black paper mill worker, was putting up two white civil rights workers in his home.

It was just six months after three young civil rights workers had been murdered in Philadelphia, Miss.

Hicks and his wife, Valeria, made some phone calls. They found neighbors to take in their children, and they reached out to friends for protection. Soon, armed black men materialized.

Nothing happened.

Less than three weeks later, the leaders of a secretive, paramilitary organization of blacks called the Deacons for Defense and Justice visited Bogalusa. It had been formed in Jonesboro, La., in 1964 mainly to protect unarmed civil rights demonstrators from the Klan. After listening to the Deacons, Hicks took the lead in forming a Bogalusa chapter, recruiting many of the men who had gone to his house to protect his family and guests.

Hicks died of cancer at his home in Bogalusa on April 13 at the age of 81, his wife said. He was one of the last surviving Deacon leaders.

But his role in the civil rights movement went beyond armed defense in a corner of the Jim Crow South. He led daily protests month after month in Bogalusa — then a town of 23,000, of whom 9,000 were black — to demand rights guaranteed by the 1964 Civil Rights Act. It was his leadership role with the Deacons that drew widest note, however. The Deacons, who grew to have chapters in more than two dozen Southern communities, veered sharply from the nonviolence preached by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They carried guns, with the mission to protect against white aggression, citing the Second Amendment.

When James Farmer, national director of the human rights group the Congress of Racial Equality, joined protests in Bogalusa, one of the most virulent Klan redoubts, armed Deacons provided security.

King publicly denounced the Deacons’ “aggressive violence.”

And Farmer, in an interview with Ebony magazine in 1965, said that some likened the Deacons to the KKK. But Farmer also pointed out that the Deacons did not lynch people or burn down houses.

Architect John Warnecke designed Kennedy grave

By Emma Brown The Washington Post

John Carl Warnecke, a San Francisco-based architect whose friendship with the Kennedy family led to some of his best-known designs, including Washington’s historic Lafayette Square and the Kennedy gravesite at Arlington National Cemetery, died April 17 at his family ranch in California’s Sonoma County. He was 91 and had pancreatic cancer.

In a career spanning more than 45 years, Warnecke made a name for himself as an architect whose modernist approach was tempered by a sensitivity for history and the environment. He built one of the country’s largest architectural concerns, John Carl Warnecke and Associates, which took on projects as diverse as commercial skyscrapers, airports, libraries, civic complexes and shopping centers.

Working first with his architect father and later alone, he rose to prominence with well-regarded designs for schools and university buildings in his native California. In the mid-1950s, he won a commission to build the U.S. Embassy in Thailand. His design, described in The New York Times as “a kind of floating pagoda rising up on slender white stilts,” received widespread acclaim.

The Associated Press file photo

President John F. Kennedy discusses drawings with Washington architect John Warnecke in May 1963 as they look over a possible site for a library to house Kennedy’s public papers near Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Warnecke, an architect who did some of his best-known work for the Kennedys, including John F. Kennedy’s gravesite, died April 17 at age 91.

Kennedy projects But it was a trip to Washington in the early 1960s that launched Warnecke into the orbit of the Kennedy family. In town to judge a design contest, he accompanied an old friend — Paul Fay, John F. Kennedy’s undersecretary of the Navy — to the White House.

Kennedy, who had studied at Stanford University before World War II, recognized the 6-foot-3 Warnecke as a onetime Stanford football hero. When Kennedy discovered that Warnecke was an architect, he asked him to help with a problem.

The General Services Administration planned to raze the historic townhouses lining Lafayette Square just north of the White House, replacing them with behemoth federal office buildings. Critics argued that the changes would destroy the character of square, originally called President’s Park, and Mrs. Kennedy was sympathetic.

Warnecke proposed to renovate the rowhouses and build office buildings behind them, maintaining the square’s sense of the past. The plan was ultimately hailed as an elegant solution to the problem of historic preservation in an age of rapid urban renewal.

Warnecke was appointed to the Fine Arts Commission

by Kennedy and grew so close to the president and his wife that after Kennedy was killed in 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy chose Warnecke to design her husband’s gravesite. His simple plan for a prominent green slope at Arlington National Cemetery was universally praised as an exercise in restraint.

The circular walkway leading to an overlook and white gravestones set into the earth, flanking an eternal flame, was “a statement that was an understatement,” wrote a Times critic.

Warnecke went on to build many other projects domestically and abroad, including the Oakland, Calif., airport, a 40story hotel in San Francisco and the Hawaii statehouse, a stone building rising from a reflecting pool.

In the Washington area, his

notable buildings include several at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, a D.C. shopping center on Wisconsin Avenue and Georgetown University’s brutalist Lauinger Library.

In the 1980s, he built the Hart Senate office building and designed a project in D.C. that, like his Lafayette Square plan, featured a modern office building behind historic rowhouses. Neither project received the glowing reviews of his earlier work.

He retired in the late 1980s to his family’s 80-acre ranch along the Russian River. He grew grapes for wineries and worked on a memoir, which he finished shortly before his death.

Personal life John Carl Warnecke was born Feb. 24, 1919, in Oakland and received a bachelor’s degree at Stanford in 1941. He graduated from Harvard University’s school of architecture in 1942 and soon joined his father’s architecture firm in the Bay Area.

Several years later, he went into business for himself.

In his yet-to-be-published memoir, “The Right Place: Life, Love and Architecture,” he wrote of his affair with Jacqueline Kennedy, with whom he’d fallen in love while the two were working closely to plan the Kennedy family gravesite in the mid1960s. They saw each other for more than a year, he wrote.

The affair ended when Mrs. Kennedy began seeing her future husband, the Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis.

Warnecke remained close to her in-laws, however, and built Robert F. Kennedy’s pool house at Hickory Hill in McLean, Va., and Edward Kennedy’s homes in Hyannis Port, Mass., and McLean.

Warnecke’s marriages to Grace Cushing and Grace Kennan ended in divorce. A son from his first marriage, John C. Warnecke Jr., died in 2003.

Survivors include three children from his first marriage, Margo Warnecke Merck, of Healdsburg, Calif., Fred Warnecke, of San Rafael, Calif., Rodger Warnecke, of Santa

Rosa, Calif.; a sister; and four grandchildren.

Long after leaving Washington, Warnecke remained interested in the city’s public spaces, becoming what former Washington Post architecture critic Benjamin Forgey called “a one-man lobbyist for making Lafayette Square a more vibrant place.”

“Our aim should be to enrich the core of Washington,” Warnecke wrote in The Post in 1998.

“It should be to bring more life to a city that has become too cold, too monumental and too sterile.”

C.K. Prahalad, a management professor and author who popularized the idea that companies could make money while helping to alleviate poverty, died Friday in the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego. He was 68. The cause was an undiagnosed lung illness, his family said.

Prahalad wrote “The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: Eradicating Poverty Through Profits,” about how companies could tap the poor as customers and, as a result, improve the lives of millions of impoverished people in developing countries.

His work on poverty, and earlier on how companies should build “core competence,” earned him a loyal following in corporate boardrooms around the world, especially in India. Though he had lived in the United States for more than 40 years, he traveled frequently to India to advise corporate executives and political leaders.

Anand Mahindra, chairman of a Mumbai-based business conglomerate, Mahindra & Mahindra, said Indian executives flocked to listen to Prahalad, who pushed them to be more adventurous in expanding their companies overseas and at home.

“He would say, ‘I just don’t believe you guys have enough ambition,’” Mahindra said in a telephone interview. “It had to do with his patriotism, his very, very deep desire to see Indian brands and companies succeed.”

He spent two years at U. C. Berkeley before he enlisted in the US Navy. He was an aviator, stationed in Hawaii until WWII ended. Mack spent most of his adult life in Marin County California with his beloved wife, Barbara. He began his career working in northern California sawmills and forests.

2 mob museums in Vegas. Will someone get hurt?

By Jennifer Steinhauer

“Our experience will be very different from theirs. Theirs is more a law enforcement accounting; for us, it is more a personal view.”

New York Times News Service

LAS VEGAS — The people of Chicago debate the Cubs versus the White Sox. In Philadelphia, the cheese steak purveyors Pat’s and Geno’s have long divided the citizenry. Soon, the residents of Las Vegas — and the millions of people who visit — will be able to argue over which museum best depicts the moral turpitude of organized crime.

Dueling centers chronicling the history of the mob are planned for Las Vegas, and it seems almost certain that someone is going to get hurt. Well, feelings anyway.

“I am not the least bit worried about them,” Mayor Oscar Goodman said of the potential competition to the Las Vegas Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, a citysponsored project he has championed for years. That museum is set to open next March in the old downtown federal courthouse, the site of the 1950 mob hearings led by Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee.

“They are no competition because we are the real thing,” said Goodman, a former defense lawyer for reputed Mafia figures. “Forget about it.”

But the rival, which involves the daughter of famed Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana, is promising a collection of mob memorabilia in the Tropicana casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

“Our experience will be very different from theirs,” said Carolyn Farkas, the spokeswoman for the museum, the Las Vegas Mob Experience. “Theirs is more a law enforcement accounting; for us, it is more a personal view.”

The idea for the Las Vegas Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement was seeded when the city bought the 1933 federal courthouse and post office from the federal government for $1 in 2002, with the strict understanding that the building — one of the oldest in Southern Nevada — be used for cultural purposes.

Ingrained in the Strip For much of the middle of the last century, organized crime ruled the Strip, developing and managing an array of casinos, skimming their way to success.

Federal prosecutors put an end to their reign in the 1980s. The city determined its historical relationship to organized crime — and the role the courthouse played in it — made the site a perfect fit. “It came from the soil of this building,” said Nancy Deaner, the city’s cultural affairs manager.

The building is being meticulously restored, down to the original coffered ceiling and crown moldings hidden for years and the original mustard, oxblood and royal blue colors long ago washed in white.

The $42 million project has been financed through a series of state, federal and local grants, and the work has progressed a bit glacially as money has trickled in.

The project, once listed as one that could stimulate this city’s embattled economy, was attacked by Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, when city officials suggested that it might qualify for federal stimulus money.

“That got blown out of proportion with morons in Washington shooting off their mouths,” said Goodman, whose office chair resembles a throne. He said he tried his first case in the court building.

The museum will have three stories and nearly 17,000 square feet of exhibits, including an interactive courtroom in which visitors can get fingerprinted. It will also include the brick wall from the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre (it was removed brick by brick and put in storage but will be constructed, bullet marks and all, Deaner said), roughly 700 objects and extensive exhibits on law enforcement efforts against the Mafia.

The museum is dear to Goodman’s efforts to revitalize the downtown area of Las Vegas, which for years has been the dirty ashtray to the Strip’s gilded cup.

“This story is so rich, our efforts to tell it are hard to do in a museum this size,” said Dennis Barrie, the creative director of the museum, who curated the collections at the International Spy Museum in Washington and at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.

At the same time, Eagle Group Holdings — working with An-

— Carolyn Farkas, spokeswoman, Las Vegas Mob Experience McConnell, who splits her time between Las Vegas and Chicago, said in a telephone interview that such an exhibit had been “a dream of mine” for years and that it would offer “the greatest thing you have ever experienced.”

McConnell, whose late husband was a lawyer who represented notable organized crime figures, added: “The Mafia is something that people can’t get enough of. For some people, it is

Food, Home & Garden In AT HOME Every Tuesday

like an addiction.”

While McConnell and Goodman could go head-to-head on hyperbolic enthusiasm for personal projects, Goodman says the sheer force of his gorgeous building, an esteemed staff and the power of his bully pulpit alone will make his museum the most talked about in town.

“My whole life has been competitive,” he said. “And I don’t lose.”

The old downtown federal courthouse undergoing renovation in Las Vegas will be home to the new Las Vegas Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement. The $42 million project will have three stories and nearly 17,000 square feet of exhibits, including an interactive courtroom.

“They are no competition because we are the real thing. Forget about it.”

— Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman, about the Las Vegas Mob Experience, a competing museum to the Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement toinette McConnell, the 74-yearold daughter of Giancana — is looking to open the Las Vegas Mob Experience at the end of the year.

Don’t get whacked While executives from the

Mob Experience declined to identify the planned site, a document provided by someone involved in the transaction who was not authorized to speak before a planned announcement of the deal next month shows an agreement with the Tropicana Las Vegas, which is undergoing

a $165 million renovation.

The Mob Experience would include theme park-style exhibits, including one called “Final Fate” in which a visitor “gets made or gets whacked,” according to the description.

The Tropicana, one of the oldest properties on the Strip, had fallen on hard times over the years but was recently sold and is now co-owned and run

by Alex Yemenidjian, a former chief executive of MGM Studios.

Rather than demolishing the original structure, as has happened with other older hotels, the new owners are restoring it.

ocal interest in this year’s A Novel Idea ... Read Together, Deschutes Public Library’s annual community reading event, is on par with national interest in the book. “The Help,” author Kathryn Stockett’s debut novel, has ridden high atop the best-seller lists for more than a year, and has been the subject of discussion for months.

In Deschutes County, it’s been the subject of numerous library events, including lectures, cooking

events and film screenings since A Novel Idea kicked off on April 11.

On April 17, library branches in Deschutes County gave away tickets to Stockett’s May appearances in Bend and Redmond. Book fans, many of them members of area book groups, began lining up as early as 6:45 a.m., according to Chantal Strobel, community relations manager for Deschutes Public Library.

Within 20 minutes of opening at 10 a.m., the libraries had distributed 1,100 free tickets, Strobel said. That’s faster than tickets for

Khaled Hosseini, whose novel “The Kite Runner” also became a popular best-seller subsequent to its selection for A Novel Idea.

As to “The Help,” perhaps the Washington Post’s Book World review can explain its runaway success: “Southern whites’ guilt for not expressing gratitude to the black maids who raised them threatens to become a familiar refrain.”

“The Help” author Kathryn Stockett wrote her debut novel while living in New York. “It wasn’t anything that I ever thought would be published,” she told Chantal Strobel of the Deschutes Public Library system.

Agritourism returns us to farming roots Ashland ranch offers simple getaway, goat milking lessons

By Jessica Garrison Los Angeles Times

ASHLAND — Here are some unintended consequences of our family’s late-August vacation at the Willow-Witt Ranch in southern Oregon: Our children, then 22 months and 4, prefer fresh goat’s milk to the store-bought stuff from a cow.

They also think it is appropriate to chase chickens and ducks, if they happen to be around.

And our 22-month-old son thinks “Gretchen” is the word for goat — maybe because he spent so much time with a goat by that name during the three days we stayed on the farm.

Americans’ surging interest in the origin of their food has led to a renaissance in farm stays in which vacation-

ers, usually urban folk, pay to spend a few days on a working farm and even contribute a little labor.

In some cases, the experience can be expensive. Farm folks’ eyebrows shot up last summer when the New York Times reported that one of its writers had paid more than $300 a night to stay in a tent on a farm in upstate New York — although it sounded like a very nice tent.

In California, the value of agritourism has jumped from $6.6 million in 2002 to $34 million in 2007.

Man’s search for father yields Cops who deliver a bang for the buck more questions than answers

By Joe Rhodes

New York Times News Service

Dear Abby: My biological father left soon after I was born.

Mom spent her life in orphanages and foster homes, so she knows nothing about her ancestry, genetics or family information.

I was always curious about where I came from, so finally, at the age of 26, I decided to do something about it. Mom had always told me about “Donny,” who she said was my father. I was able to track him down and made contact. At first he denied knowing Mom, then he changed his story. Because he was married and had a family, the matter was dropped.

Four years passed and I contacted Donny again. This time, I offered to meet him on his terms to take a paternity test. He called my mother a liar and said she had been promiscuous. It made me angry because Mom was open with me about him and we have always had a close relationship. The paternity test came back and — guess what? Donny is not my father! I feel like a fool for pursuing him for nothing.

Mom acted surprised and now refuses to talk about it. I want to know my background, and it’s eating away at me that I was told Donny was a deadbeat father and I was lied to for so long.

Am I doomed to never know my ancestry?

— Man With No Past Dear Man With No Past: That’s a possibility, and for that you have my sympathy. When someone clams up the way your mother has, it may be because the person is too ashamed to admit the truth — which may be that she does not know who fathered you.

There may be reasons why your mother behaved the way she did, having grown up not knowing

DEAR ABBY

She may have simply been looking for someone to love her. One thing is certain, however.

She raised you to be the man you are today and did the best she could, so please try to forgive her for the deception. who her parents were and in a series of foster homes. She may have simply been looking for someone to love her. One thing is certain, however. She raised you to be the man you are today and did the best she could, so please try to forgive her for the deception.

Dear Abby: I am in my mid-30s, blond, blue-eyed, tall and slender.

I am health-conscious and physically active. I have had a sevenyear marriage and a relationship that lasted for four — but for the last five years I have been unattached. It took me awhile to get

used to being alone, but I have realized something that everyone needs to know: Being single can be very satisfying I clean my house; it stays clean.

I have no extra dishes or laundry to do. There’s no toothpaste left in the sink. The toilet seat stays down. I can relax in front of the fireplace because no one is trying to get my attention.

My checkbook is always balanced, with no surprises. I can go to bed at night and sleep without having to spend half the night explaining why I’m not “in the mood.” I wake up refreshed in the morning without having to share someone else’s challenges.

I’m free to come and go as I please without the burden of anyone else’s expectations. And, if I’m feeling social, I can get together with a male or female friend and go out and have a good time.

Please reassure your single readers that it’s OK to be single, and not to allow their well-meaning friends, family or society to try to convince them they “need” to be in a relationship. If they’re happily single, as am I, they can remain that way and life will be just fine if they let it be. For me, it’s the only way to be.

— Happily Single in Seattle Dear Happily Single: I have often said it is better to be alone than to wish you were. I have also said that there are worse things than being alone, and evidently you have experienced them.

“WE MAKE IT EASY!”

DALLAS — All the familiar props are here: the half-empty coffee pots, the battered metal desks, the caged-off evidence room, the rolls of yellow crime-scene tape. On a cold, rainy day in January, the interior of the Food and Fiber Pavilion, part of the 277-acre Fair Park complex here that houses the annual State Fair of Texas, looked like every TV police precinct you’ve ever seen.

“Dan, we got thrown off the case,” the actor Colin Hanks shouted to his co-star, Bradley Whitford, in an exasperated exchange as familiar as the surroundings.

“That’s ’cause we’re doing a good job,” Whitford yelled back.

“A good job? We broke damn near every rule the department has.”

“Yeah,” Whitford responded. “And we found the bad guys.”

That we’ve seen all this before, or at least feel as if we have, is a key reason why “The Good Guys,” the first broadcast network series from Matt Nix, the creator of “Burn Notice,” was picked up for a 13episode summer run by Fox without even a pilot. But just

as important as the twisted familiarity of Nix’s premise were the practical applications of his pitch, which was as much about production schedules and budgets as it was story lines and characters.

“Matt walks in the door with not only a finished script and a pitch for what the whole season was going to be,” said Kevin Reilly, the president of Fox Entertainment, “but with a willingness to deliver a network-quality show on a cable budget. We are getting a lot of bang for our buck, literally.”

Emiliano Calemzuk, president of Fox Television Studios, which produces “The Good Guys” and “Burn Notice,” said that the broadcast networks — whose production costs per hourlong episode range from $2 million to $5 million — can save as much as 30 percent by using the tighter budgets and schedules under which cable dramas like “Burn Notice” and “The Shield” have been forced to operate.

“The Good Guys” shoots an episode in seven days, three days fewer than a typical network drama. Shooting in Dallas also

lowers costs, as does filming in the early part of the year. “We’re not competing with the normal pilot season and staffing season,” Calemzuk said. “All those things give us a cost advantage.”

That his first network series may have gotten picked up for reasons of economics as much as art, doesn’t bother Nix, 38, who started his career in the development department at Turner Network Television. “It’s no secret that everybody’s looking at the broadcast model and asking, ‘How can this possibly last?’” he said. “It’s too expensive, it’s too difficult and the audience is fracturing. I’d love to work on a show like ‘The Cosby Show’ that half of America watches every week. But that doesn’t exist anymore. And it’s never coming back.”

Making his bosses at the network happy serves Nix’s purposes as well. “And my attitude is that I want it to be a really ontime, on-budget profitable show,” he said. “Then the network guys don’t worry so much about what I’m doing creatively and let me do what I want to do.”

Hill open to creating her own fashion line NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Faith Hill is a red carpet regular and has proven to be a consistent fashionista throughout her 15 years in country music.

That made her a perfect fit to judge the finale of this season’s “Project Runway.”

“I have always paid close attention to detail in my work, and I understand and relate to big dreams and hard work,” she said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. “Fortunately, those things served me well while focusing on each designer. It was actually quite natural for me.”

Hill has sold more than 30 million records and has her own fragrance, Faith Hill Parfums.

After her time on “Project Runway,” Hill said she is open to creating her own fashion line in the future.

Goldberg, Stewart feud heating up NEW YORK — Things are getting rough between Fox News Channel commentator Bernard Goldberg and comic Jon Stewart.

Stewart brought a gospel choir on to “The Daily Show” to curse out the media critic — a night after Goldberg told him to “find some guts.”

Round Three is scheduled with another Goldberg appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor.” Goldberg said Wednesday, after watching Stewart’s routine, that he found him “funny” but a “phony.”

It was during an interview

with O’Reilly that Goldberg, a journalist who has written books accusing the media of a liberal bias, made things personal.

Last week, a segment on Stewart’s “The Daily Show” responded to statements by Fox News commentators criticizing tea party opponents for judging the movement based on the bad actions of a few. Stewart played tape of Fox commentators, including Goldberg, making generalizations about liberals.

Locklear cited for hit & run in 4 a.m. crash LOS ANGELES — Heather Locklear has a court date next month on misdemeanor hit-andrun charges after an early-morning crash knocked down a street sign.

Ventura County Sheriff’s Captain Eric Dowd says Locklear was cited and released Saturday after a resident reported hearing a crash around 4 a.m. An investigation led police to Locklear, whom they believe was behind the wheel at the time of the crash.

Blair Berk, an attorney for the 48-year-old actress, confirmed Locklear was cited as the car’s registered owner but said “it is not yet clear who was driving the vehicle.”

Still a deal I almost hope they don’t hear about this in Oregon, where farmers have embraced the farm-stay concept and the rates are still relatively modest.

For our visit, we had about a half-dozen newly launched programs to choose from, including Pennington Farms, which began accepting guests about two years ago and specializes in berries, and the Leaping Lamb Farm, which has its own burbling creek. Scottie Jones, who owns Leaping Lamb, said she had advised about 25 other Oregon farmers on how to open their own overnight programs.

“This is actually how the farm is becoming sustainable,” Jones said, noting that most small family farms can’t make enough money from agriculture to get into the black. But Jones, like many farm-stay operators, added that she had come to view her business as a community service, “a way to introduce Americans back to that farm culture.”

We chose Willow-Witt Ranch, which sits in a meadow about 4,600 feet above Ashland in the southern Cascade Range, because we liked the idea of being able to pop into Ashland, with its fudge shops, actors in Elizabethan dress and gourmet restaurants. Even better for a late-August visit, we liked that the temperature was 20 degrees cooler at the farm than in town.

We arrived in the evening and were delighted to discover that our $135-a-night fee got us a charming studio with a sleeping loft, a wood stove, a full kitchen

The price also included tutorials in how to milk a goat, approach a horse and talk to a piglet. For an extra fee, we could purchase sausage produced from the farm’s pigs, fresh eggs and goat’s milk.

I confess that I pinched some basil from the garden, as well as some blackberries growing wild around the place.

On our first morning, we discovered that our window looked out on a pasture of frolicking goats. We could also see chickens, ducks, horses, pigs, cats and dogs scattered around the farmyard. Towering above them was a dense forest of white fir, Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir.

We let the children go outside and sat down to watch as we drank strong coffee and goat’s milk and ate fresh sausage.

After we finally had had enough coffee, we went to help milk the goats.

By Bonnie Tsui Last year, Janelle Criscione celebrated her 66th birthday on a white-water rafting trip along the Snake River in Idaho and Oregon. Along the way, she camped and hiked in rugged Hells Canyon, North America’s deepest river gorge. She also chopped vegetables and sampled wine.

Criscione, a retired nurse who lives in St. Louis, is a big outdoor enthusiast; for her birthday the year before, she’d gone climbing in the Teton Mountains in Wyoming.

What she is not is a particularly experienced or ambitious cook.

Friends of Criscione had gone on white-water trips with the organizers of this one, which was going to center around food.

When they told her about it, she was interested. “Then I found out they might make us cook,” she said with a laugh.

“I am not a cook, but I learned and watched a lot,” she said, adding that when she returned home, she could “prepare almost anything,” rattling off an impressive array of dishes, including prime rib, Alaskan salmon and cakes buried in coals, all made with little hardware beyond a covered cast-iron kettle. “I mean, you can do this at home.”

The trip Criscione took was the inaugural voyage of ROW Ad-

This means they have installed solar panels and even a solarpowered shower. It also means they have hired several farmworkers and interns who bring a missionary zeal to their love of organic, sustainable farming.

Rural marvel As we wandered the farm, smiling workers stopped us to show our daughter the baby chickens that had just arrived

by UPS that morning and to teach us how to milk a goat. We marveled at the labor involved: The farm’s seven milk goats are milked twice each day, which takes about an hour. Workers said they got a total of about 9

gallons a day. Even our 4-yearold seemed impressed. Then she and her brother guzzled about a half-gallon of the stuff, laughing as they wiped milk mustaches on each other’s faces.

In the afternoons, we had a host of alpine activities to choose from. One day we drove a short distance to a 1½-mile trail leading to Grizzly Peak, which afforded a view of rolling forests. On another, we visited one of the many nearby lakes for swimming.

In the evenings, we returned to the farm and, as the sun set over the meadow, prepared simple dinners and then went to sleep. By our second morning, we found ourselves falling into the rhythm of farm life, waking as the sun began to rise over the trees.

We lay in bed, thinking about getting up to help with the chores. Then we smiled and went back to sleep. After all, we were on vacation.

But the distinguishing attraction is the opportunity to cook up fancy fare the old-fashioned way, on the trail with not much more than a Dutch oven. Lest you dismiss this as lowly camp grub, we’re talking wild salmon and Pacific oysters, all paired with Pacific Northwest wines, and carefully packed by the guides.

Peter Grubb, president and founder of ROW Adventures, said the company started the Culinary Whitewater Series last year in response to the growing interest in culinary travel.

OARS, another adventure raft-

ing company, goes a step further by bringing a Culinary Institute of America-trained chef on its Wilderness Gourmet trip series.

Participants get white-tablecloth cooking lessons on the banks of the Rogue River in Oregon with Bob Anderson, formerly executive chef of the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite and currently owner of V Restaurant in the historic mining town of Murphys in the California Sierra foothills.

Anderson is a self-proclaimed lover of the outdoors and a fan of river rafting. During his time at the Ahwahnee, he organized pack trips at Yosemite high camp. With OARS’s white-water trips, weight isn’t as much of an issue, though he still has to pack his provisions wisely.

“I like to refer to it as a vintner dinner interrupted by whitewater rafting,” said Anderson, whom guests call Chef Bob. He uses Dutch ovens to make braised chicken, flambees steaks in Jack Daniels sauce, and fills black Mission figs with Point Reyes blue cheese and wraps them in bacon.

“Guests are way into it, generally — they want to know about the tools, the hardware, the recipes, how you do this in the backcountry,” Anderson said.

“If there are other rafters on the river, it’s kind of a big surprise for them to see us on a sandbar with

our white tablecloths, us in our chef whites, and just using camp stoves. The wow factor is huge.

Ecuador offers much to armchair naturalists Orchids and birds abound in Central American jungle

By Chris Kraul Los Angeles Times

MINDO, Ecuador — I’ve often fantasized about retracing the steps of such naturalists as Charles Darwin, Alexander von Humboldt and William Bartram, who saw exotic places and recorded, in detail, the plants and animals they encountered on their expeditions.

But the armchair naturalist in me didn’t want to work too hard or subject myself to the tribulations they suffered as they circumnavigated the globe, climbed the South American Andes or slogged through the swamps of the Southeastern United States, places where one might encounter sharks, bugs, snakes, piranhas, jaguars and crocodiles. So I kept deferring on the grounds of time, cost and discomfort.

My visit to Mindo, in a cloudforested valley of the same name, helped me realize that I didn’t have to set sail or strap on the crampons to see spectacular and exotic life forms. Mindo is an easy-access epicenter of biodiversity in northwestern Ecuador teeming with hundreds of orchid and bird species, all framed by spectacular Andean scenery in a cool, temperate climate.

During my two days traipsing around Mindo — a 90-minute drive from Quito, the capital — I spied scores of plant and bird species that I thought I’d have to travel much farther to see. There were netherworldly orchids (about 4,000 species grow in Ecuador), vibrantly colored bromeliads and dozens of rare birds, including toucans, cocks-of-therock, quetzals and swarms of hummingbirds and parrots.

Ecuador’s biodiversity so engaged me that I thought of it as the ultimate persuasion for preservation, here and elsewhere. Bigger picture: Surely the ranks of protectors would swell, I reasoned, if they were to come away with the same understanding I did.

The smaller picture was just as satisfying. Although I’m no “orch-idiot,” as the locals call rabid orchid fans willing to surmount any obstacle to catch a glimpse of one, I am fascinated by these plants, masterpieces of nature’s handiwork. I saw scores of orchids along the several trails I hiked and in many of the 50 private reserves that locals have created to appeal to amateur, leisurely naturalists like me.

Ecuador’s stable and temperate climate in the highlands makes it a veritable flora factory. With nearly $600 million in annual shipments, Ecuador is the second leading exporter of cut flowers (Colombia is first) to the U.S. Orchids may be the showstoppers, but the supporting cast is just as impressive: I saw twostory-high tree ferns, ancient cedars, giant hibiscus and philodendrons with leaves as big as elephant ears. I was agog at the enormous shiny, silver leaves of the umbrella-shaped cecropia trees that some experts say can grow as much as 6 feet a year.

For this, credit the surrounding cloud forest, a specific variety of tropical or subtropical ecosystem that occurs at just the right mix of altitude — Mindo’s valley varies from 4,500 to 8,000 feet — cloud cover, sunlight, mild temperatures and moisture. Rainfall here averages 5 feet or more per year. The cloud forests often are in an altitude “band” between 3,000 and 6,000 feet and cover the many valleys that cut away from the altiplano where Quito (altitude: 9,400 feet) sits and open up to the Pacific Coast plain to the west below.

It rains almost every day, but much of Mindo’s wetness comes from condensed moisture, or evapo-transpiration, from clouds that hover at canopy level, particularly after noon. Moss covers many of the trees. In this botanical caldron, orchids, bees, hummingbirds and the other pollinators they depend on thrive.

Mindo is well-known in birder circles, I’m told. The valley is a perennial high scorer in the Audubon Society’s annual global bird count. Every December, localities around the world compete for the most bird species spotted, and Mindo, where as many as 400 have been counted some years, consistently places in the top 10.

As for birds, I found strikingly beautiful specimens seemingly everywhere. Actually, I didn’t find them; they found me.

The hills and forests of Ecuador feature some of the most diverse species of orchids on Earth. Here, guide Ugolino Onate uses a high-powered scope for orchid sighting and viewing.

Toucans frolicked in the trees during my visit to the Cabanas Armonia hostel’s orchid garden.

Ten minutes out on one of our expeditions up an abandoned road, a brilliantly red cock-of-therock eyed us imperiously from a tree branch 50 feet away. The birds, with their puffed heads and brilliant red color, are prize sightings, and I “bagged” mine from the seat of my guide’s van.

Hummingbirds by the dozens fluttered just outside my room and around the 500-acre nature preserve of my hotel, El Septimo Paraiso (Seventh Heaven).

Best of all, unlike the journeys undertaken by my naturalist heroes, my trip involved no sacrifice of creature comforts.

Mindo, a town of about 15,000, and its environs are filled with a variety of hotels, from basic to luxury. Seventh Heaven, where rooms go for about $100 a night per person, was on the expensive end of the spectrum. On the other end is the Cabanas Armonia, perfectly adequate and go-

ing for $16 per person a night.

Part of Mindo’s charm is that it is preternaturally still, the quiet broken only by bird calls.

It helps that a road built 20 years ago that connects Quito with the coast bypassed Mindo. The old road, which runs through town, has become a rarely traveled byway that serves as a path for nature-loving bikers and sightseers in vans.

A good guide is essential to a successful trip because he or she will see and hear things, particularly in dense, foggy forests, that inexperienced interlopers would miss. Thanks to a recommendation from a friend in Quito’s tourism industry, I got a great one: Kurt Beate, a multilingual German-Ecuadorean who has led tours throughout Fossil Messasaur

the country.

It wasn’t all beauty during my two days in Mindo. The hike at Pahuma was a beast, straight up into dense tropical forest and thick cloud and dampness that tends to come on after 1 or 2 in the afternoon. We gained more than 800 feet of altitude in less than an hour. I was glad I had a plastic poncho and good weatherproof hiking boots. The mist and darkness made spotting orchids and other plants difficult. Fortunately, Kurt was adept at that.

But the rest of the time, I was in my laid-back explorer mode, including my drive with Kurt up the abandoned Mindo-Quito road, where thanks to his telescopic “view-scope,” we saw several roadside orchids and the cock-of-the-rock.

There was also my morning stroll through Seventh Heaven’s 800-acre reserve, with its flocks of clicking hummingbirds, and my pleasant walk around Cabanas Armonia’s orchid garden, where I encountered the colorful and mysterious geometry of a dracula orchid. It was just the right blend of education and enlightenment for the lazy man.

Why are we seduced by celebrity home wreckers?

By Jenee Osterheldt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

I’m sure it wasn’t a $9 million affair, but that’s the price Anne Lundquist is set to pay Cynthia Shackelford for alienation of affection.

In other words, a North Carolina jury recently found Lundquist guilty of being a home wrecker.

I didn’t even know you could sue for that. But several states (Utah, Illinois, South Dakota, North Carolina, Hawaii, Mississippi and New Mexico) uphold the old-school laws that hold the “other” men and women accountable.

With all the adultery in the world today, you’d expect a lot of payouts. The mistresses of Jesse James, Tiger Woods and especially John Edwards should be nervous and ashamed.

Only they aren’t. I don’t know if it started with Monica Lewinsky, but getting involved with someone else’s spouse somehow has paved a shortcut to stardom.

Mistresses walk with their heads held high these days.

They hold press conferences and tweet and rise to fame.

Vanity Fair and GQ give them glamorous photo spreads and interviews. People say they feel bad for the person left behind in the marriage, often but not always the wife.

But when you look at the most recent cases of high-profile infidelity, it seems all the public really wants are the sordid details.

People demonize the cheating spouse yet yearn to know more about these women, who they are and where they come from.

In that way, mistresses have become the new Hollywood It-girls.

For this reason alone, I could see how someone would want revenge in the form of a lawsuit.

Who wouldn’t, if even for a splitsecond, consider making someone pay for their public humiliation and broken heart?

Still, I disagree with these

laws. You can’t successfully pin the breakdown of a marriage on a third party. And we might be inviting the court too deeply into our lives when we rely on them to referee our personal dramas.

Shackelford insists her case against the mistress was meant to send a message to home wreckers not to come between couples.

But look at our country. Everyone has a say-so when it comes to someone else’s relationship status.

We comment on it in the form of Facebook fodder. We participate in polls on whether Sandra Bullock should leave Jesse James and if Elin should forgive Tiger. I’ve said it before. We’ve become too insensitive and ca-

Wedding couple boldly goes where no one has gone before Vows renewed in re-created Enterprise bridge

By Bruce Newman San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The bride wore a burnt umber Uhura number, and the groom turned out in tasteful Vulcan blue. Standing at the threshold between the perpetual darkness of deep space and the perpetual light of deep love, Nancy Kerr and Kyle Sessions, of Berkeley, Calif., said “I do” in a “Star Trek” wedding on April 10 at San Jose’s Tech Museum.

The happy couple stood on the bridge of the USS Enterprise — re-created for “Star Trek: The Exhibition,” — beaming up at their handpicked officiant, the Rev. Rabbit Matthews.

Instead of a Bible, Matthews recited the vows they’d prepared using a Kindle wireless device.

“Do you promise to honor her and her commitment to the integrity of her mission?”

Matthews asked Sessions, 27.

“Do you promise to uphold the sacraments of marriage as described in Starfleet regulations, including cohabitation of quarters, equal division of domestic labor and loyalty to one’s commander and crew?”

Kerr and Sessions had won the museum’s “Ultimate ‘Star Trek’ Wedding Contest” on Facebook, defeating 13 other couples by garnering nearly a quarter of the 2,189 votes cast.

The victory brought them to an altar of their own fevered imagining for a renewal of vows the couple first made in an Episcopal church in Utah six years ago.

They originally planned to wait until their 10th anniversary to renew their vows at the “Star Trek Experience” exhibit in Las Vegas, but that exhibition closed.

The Tech’s version drew more than 75,000 visitors during its run, although it shut down for about 45 minutes Saturday to accommodate the couple’s exchange of vows.

“Ending with a wedding makes sense because ‘Star Trek’ is about the future,” said Elizabeth Williams, the museum’s vice president for marketing. “It’s an optimistic show.”

‘Mixed relationship’ Among the visitors booted out of the museum so the wedding could proceed were Linda Roberts and Robert Green, who had driven up from Los Angeles to see the exhibit. Green was wearing a “Star Trek” uniform shirt that Roberts had bought at a thrift shop.

Green didn’t mind leaving while the wedding took place, but he acknowledged potential problems with entering such a union himself.

“We’re in a mixed relationship,” he deadpanned. “She’s a ‘Star Trek’ fan, and I’m a fan of ‘Star Wars.’ Lots of arguments about how to raise the kids.”

Once the bridge had been cleared, Sessions and Kerr entered while reciting lines from

Mr. Spock’s tragic near-marriage to T’Pring, who jilted him at the altar.

“Parted from me and never parted, never and always touching and touched,” Kerr said as she mounted a small staircase, “we meet at the appointed place.”

Instead of exchanging rings, the couple exchanged “Star Trek” communicators they bought in the museum’s gift shop that morning. The bleeps and blorts of a battle-ready starship provided calliope-like accompaniment as the ceremony unfolded.

When Matthews declared, “It is done,” a vapor lock exhaled.

The couple kissed for about 20 seconds, briefly achieving suborbital flight.

About 35 of the couple’s friends attended, among them Mark Wilde, who had just returned from shopping for his blue “Trek” shirt at Pierre Silber in Santa Clara, Calif.

“It’s an adult costume and lingerie shop,” he said, “but they also have ‘Star Trek’ costumes.”

Perfect Klingon After the ceremony, Matthews immediately instructed the guests to “form an orderly line” to have photos taken with the bride and groom.

Matthews, owner of The Sacred Well in Oakland, Calif., where “magic happens every day,” couldn’t take her eyes off the electronic tablet she was holding.

“This is Uhura’s Kindle,” she said, then caught herself. “I mean Nancy’s.”

Matthews then spread her fingers in the “V” Vulcan salute and exhorted Kerr and Sessions to “live long and prosper.” Then she led the first of several toasts in the museum’s VIP lounge.

“May your engines always be at full throttle ... and may you always have all the dilithium you need,” she said, letting her purple hair down with a glass of champagne.

Benedek Nyikos leaped to his feet and delivered a lengthy toast in perfect Klingon. “Actually, it’s a Klingon drinking song,” he conceded later, “but nobody knows that, so I figured I could get away with it.”

There seemed little doubt that the bridal couple’s union would now be binding no matter where they went.

Nancy Kerr, foreground left, and husband Kyle Session, of Berkeley, Calif., renew their wedding vows. The couple beat out more than a dozen couples from around the country who entered an online contest for a chance to have a ceremony on the bridge of the spaceship.

WELLNESS QUESTION: My dad no longer can live in his home and

needs daily help, but we don’t think he needs assisted living. What do you suggest?

ANSWER: It sounds like your dad would be an ideal

candidate for a retirement community. If he were in “independent living,” he could hire a home health or home care professional, as we discussed in last month’s column. The availability of a broad continuum of care is Scott Neil, MSW important. If his needs increase, he is less likely to have to move from the community where he has established important connections with residents and staff.

Another option, which is unique and something Touchmark just introduced, is Support Suites™. This is a service that is ideal for people who need moderate care on a scheduled basis. Basically, it’s a step between independent living and residential care. Care is provided by licensed home care or home health professionals. When people live in Support Suites, they pay only for services they have scheduled. We’re finding that many people find this an attractive option to get the help they need and supporting them to their highest level of independence.

QUESTION: What is the difference between a surgical

and a non surgical face lift?

ANSWER: Non surgical face lifts are performed without anesthesia and require no “down time”. Results can last for years, and are more affordable than surgical lifts.

Surgical face lifts can cost five thousand dollars or more, can be very painful with recovery time that can take months. Some people have experienced a lifetime of pain and scarring. Many face lift patients wish they Becky Carter Medical Esthetician could go back in time and reverse their decision to have Certified Laser a surgical face lift.

Technician Non Surgical face lifts give a more natural, (ten to fifteen years younger) look, not the “Hollywood Style” unnatural look that many surgical lifts can give. Most clients desire is to simply look the best for the age they are, and not to change who they are. They want to look like themselves, just refreshed and revitalized. The average age of clients for Non surgical lifts are between 35-65, but depends on the condition of the clients skin.

Although Non surgical face lifts are the preference for many clients, they are not for everyone, and are not designed to replace surgical lifts, but as an alternative to a surgical procedure. Non surgical face lifts are for clients that prefer a low risk, low cost, no “down time” natural face lift that is safe, effective and affordable.

It makes my daily activities, like horseback riding and bike riding, uncomfortable. Is Adam Angeles, there anything I can do?

M.D. A NSWER : Although there is a wide spectrum of sizes and shapes of labia, many women that I see have similar complaints. Your description is more common than you think. There is a simple and effective surgery to reduce the labia which can be done as an outpatient procedure in a private comfortable setting such as at our outpatient surgery center. A very high level of satisfaction can be obtained if this procedure is performed by a plastic surgeon experienced in this type of surgery.

role in dentistry. In fact, I believe that having an adequate airway is the most important factor to having optimal dental health. Although ADHD Kelley Mingus, is not directly related to dentistry they both share D.M.D. a strong connection to the airway. Recent studies now support a very strong connection between ADHD and a person’s airway. If a child has ADHD and a compromised airway it is very possible that the severity of ADHD can be reduced by addressing their airway. Many times an inadequate airway should first be recognized by a dentist. A compromised airway will often result in a person becoming a mouth breather while sleeping. A dentist should be able to recognize mouth breathing at a very early age. Some common signs are crowded teeth, narrow dental arches, high palate, and poor facial balance to name just a few. When a dentist recognizes these signs a referral to an ENT for an airway evaluation should follow. Besides contributing to ADHD, a poor airway is also the leading factor in malocclusion, TMJ disorders and sleep apnea. As more is learned about the role of the airway the public and professional awareness will result in the improvement in many medical conditions, including ADHD.

In fact N.D. of the top 34 symptoms, these are the top 2, but irregular cycles, loss of libido, vaginal dryness, mood swings, fatigue, hair loss, insomnia, and concentration round out the top 10. Hormones require a delicate balancing act and go through periods of imbalance when undergoing change, usually in our teens, pregnancy, and peri-menopause. Hormone testing is available, and a good history intake and questionnaire can often identify areas of deficiency and dominance. Progesterone is the first hormone to drop in levels, which may produce irregularity in menstrual cycles and sleep issues. Many women find relief with BioIdentical Hormones.

ANSWER: EBT or ultrafast coronary computed

tomography scans show plaque within the coronary arteries. Recently, these tests have come down markedly in price ($99.00 at St. Charles Medical Center) and they are quick and easy to complete. They are accurate and well-validated for diagnosing heart disease. In your situation, you really only have one risk factor for heart disease, that being family history. However, we know that genetics plays a large role in predicting individual disease burden and you would benefit, in my opinion, by having the test done. Even if your scan is completely negative, you still need to see your doctor at least yearly for annual exams and blood work as a negative EBT does not mean that you won’t develop heart disease in the future.

You will need yearly fasting blood work to check cholesterol and you will need to keep your blood pressure under tight control to help minimize your chance of heart attack and stroke. Maintaining a diet low in saturated fat and exercise are also very important for your cardiovascular health.

Always take sensible precautions like using a chair, counter or wall to hold onto if necessary.

Here are some simple things you can do: 1. When putting on/off your socks, balance on the other foot instead of sitting down.

2. Practice balancing on one foot while brushing your teeth or shaving.

A NSWER : The American cancer society recommends that every person have a screening colonoscopy starting at age 50.

If the results from this screening prove Thuy Hughes, to be normal, then it is recommended to have one every ten years. If, however, a DO polyp is present, the procedure will need to be repeated every 3 – 5 years depending on the type of polyp. Furthermore, if you have genetic predisposition, it is recommended to have the initial screening colonoscopy sooner depending on the age of onset in the family or the type of genetic disease.

ANSWER: In my practice I frequently see patients who have had previous open vein stripping or ligation. Most are patients who were treated many years prior with older surgical techniques that are Edward M. Boyle, Jr., now less frequently used. Current theories of why M.D., F.A.C.S., F.C.C.P. varicose veins recur after previous vein ligation and stripping include the concept of neovascularization.

Neovascularization occurs when the veins from the abdomen and pelvis are dilated with gravity and ultimately coalesce to form new, large varicose veins that eventually bulge out in the legs.

The good news is that the newer office-based treatments are very effective at treating patients who have had previous vein surgery. The key is to understand why the varicose veins have recurred. For this we use Vascular Ultrasound, which is an office-based, painless, and noninvasive way to assess these often complex patterns. Once the cause of the recurrent veins is identified, there are numerous minimally invasive, office-based treatments available that do not require general anesthetics, large incisions, or post-operative pain associated with the traditional vein stripping that was common a number of years ago.

The Northern Illinois University group Atheists, Agnostics and Free Thinkers includes members, from left, Katie Panger, Brett Jacobson, Thomas Hodges and Jonathan Guca, shown during a meeting in March in DeKalb, Ill. There are nearly 200 secular student groups on college campuses in the U.S.

Kinder, gentler religious skeptics finding kindred spirits on campus

By Nara Schoenberg Chicago Tribune

What do you call an atheist with a wife and two kids?

During the course of their weekly meeting, members of the Northern Illinois University secular student group, Atheists, Agnostics and Free Thinkers, will reveal the punch line to that joke, debate whether religion causes human suffering and consider a Bible study group leader’s invitation to help build houses for the poor.

But first, the introductions: “I’m Brett,” says senior Brett Jacobson. “I’m a triple major in sociology, philosophy and psychology. I’m here because I’m the president.”

“So you have to be!” interrupts junior Haley Whiting, to loud guffaws. “Way to be a go-getter!”

“I’m an atheist,” says the group’s founder, Katie Panger.

“And I’m here because when a man and woman love each other very much ...” She pauses, leaving her audience of 14 in suspense for a few seconds before concluding, ever so sweetly: “The stork comes.”

The ensuing laughter is more than just the usual youthful high spirits; it’s a sign of the times.

Changing times Twenty years ago, a sanctioned public meeting of atheists and their allies at a large public university — attended by a friendly Methodist pastor, no less — would have been an extraordinary event.

Even five years ago, it would have been highly unlikely.

But emboldened, in part, by best-selling books such as “The God Delusion” (2006) by Richard Dawkins and “God Is Not Great” (2007) by Christopher Hitchens, young atheists are stepping forward, bonding with their fellow skeptics and reaching out to the religious.

There were at least 195 secular student groups on college campuses in late 2009, up from 42 in 2003, according to the Secular Student Alliance, a nonprofit based in Columbus, Ohio.

“You go to college now — it doesn’t matter where you go — everyone knows someone who’s an atheist, and they know that they’re not bad people,” says Hemant Mehta, chair of the Secular Student Alliance’s board of directors.

“They might question where their morality comes from, but no one’s doubting that these are good, honest, hardworking people.”

Not everyone shares Mehta’s enthusiasm, but public response has generally ranged from supportive to neutral.

“Do I find (campus atheism) a threat to those of us concerned about religion? No,” says Mark Wilhelm, leader of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s educational partnership team.

“I think it’s a normal aspect of young people inquiring into what’s important, and we shouldn’t just castigate people for doing this. For those of us who believe that God revealed God’s self in Jesus Christ, we would want to engage them in that conversation.”

Twenty percent of young Americans are atheists, agnostics or have “no religion,” up from 11 percent in 1988, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

And it’s not just society that’s changing; it’s the atheists themselves.

Traditionally, the nation’s non-

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, April 25, 2010: This year, you often swing between detachment and being hands-on.

Others observe this incredible juggling act. Friends seem to be a constant source of surprises, and you actually might meet a new quirky pal. Your ability to adjust adds to your power and consciousness. If you are single, you could meet a very dynamic person, creating an exciting interaction. The excitement stems from unpredictability. Don’t decide that this is a relationship for a year.

If you are attached, the two of you will become even closer if you share activities you love and your friends more. LIBRA works well with 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 underlying irritation could streamline a talk. Try not to hit the cat because you are angry at the dog! If your feelings are overflowing from one relationship, you need to clear the air. Tonight: Juggling different requests.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Having a leisurely breakfast with a loved one could recharge your relationship. Let the outside world go on, while you stop time to be together. You might hear surprising news. Say little; instead, reflect. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a foot massage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Know that you are

supposed to stay in bed, lounge in your pj’s and read the Sunday paper. An older friend or relative could end the life of Reilly as you know it. Let your good, recycled vibes warm up a feisty person. Tonight: Enjoy your life as only you can.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Make Sunday calls.

Sometimes an act like picking up the phone expresses your caring. You don’t need words.

Meet a friend for a movie or a game, but head home early.

Tonight: Do what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH It seems that others might believe you have endless funds by the way they expect you to pick up the tab. If irritation bubbles up, look to yourself. Say “no” more often. What you choose to do with someone is irrelevant; it is being together that counts.

How about a ballgame? Tonight: Act like there is no tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could hit a snafu when you least expect it. Part of the problem might be that you swallow your feelings. Anger and frustration pop up in strange ways, which distances others from you. Ask for feedback. Tonight: Your treat.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Vanish if you want, but eventually you will want to show up. So don’t use an excuse like “I need to pack to go to China.”

Simply say that you have a lot to do. When you appear or call, others will respond positively.

Tonight: Suddenly you feel great.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHHH Zero in on what you want this morning. Schedule some quality time with a friend or loved one in the late p.m. Visit over a meal or participate in a favorite pastime. Tonight: Be unavailable!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your Sunday routine gets you going. Wherever you go, others are very aware of your presence. Be it brunch or church, afterward you let your hair down.

Finally, relax at a game, take a walk, explore a section of town, or do anything else that appeals to you. Tonight: Where the action is.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Tune in to another perspective. Return calls, especially to those at a distance. Plan to get together with someone, whether you go or he or she comes. Consider meeting halfway! Tonight: Get a head start on your work.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Pull in close to a loved one, though he or she could be testy. Know that you can deal with this person’s moods. Don’t take an outbreak of temper personally.

Help this person get through his or her mood and understand more of what he or she feels.

Tonight: Use your imagination.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others seem to be bossy.

Claim your power without having a confrontation. Know what you want from a key partner or friend, though you might choose just to go off and do something with this person. Talk only if you feel like it. Tonight: Togetherness works.

CROSSWORD SOLUTION IS ON C10

C10 Sunday, April 25, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Help Continued from C1 “But don’t tell Kathryn Stockett, because her first novel is a nuanced variation on the theme that strikes every note with authenticity. In a page-turner that brings new resonance to the moral issues involved, she spins a story of social awakening as seen from both sides of the American racial divide.”

The book is set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi. It’s 1962, and Eugenia Skeeter Phelan, one of the book’s three protagonists, has returned to her hometown after graduating from Ole Miss. Unlike her married friends, her goal is to become a writer, and collecting the stories of black maids, who are welcome to raise white people’s children but not use their toilets, becomes her license to get literary.

When Aibileen and her friend Minny cooperate with Skeeter, others follow suit. In the end, Stockett pulls off a feel-good book that, as the Washington Post put it, “unsparingly delineates the conditions of black servitude a century after the Civil War.”

On April 15, Strobel led one Bend book club, Literary Lasses, in a discussion of “The Help” after hours at Camalli Book Co. in west Bend. During the discussion, Strobel told the dozen gathered that when she met Stockett last summer, “My first question that came out of my mouth was, ‘Why did you think that you had the right to write this book, in their voice?’”

Stockett answered that “It just poured from my heart,” Strobel recalled. “It wasn’t anything that I ever thought would be published.”

She wasn’t kidding. Stockett shopped the book around to 52 publishers and agents before landing one, which goes to show that if anyone really can gaze into the future, they don’t work in book publishing.

Raised in Mississippi after the time in which the book is set, Stockett was, like the character of Skeeter, raised by a black nanny.

“It was like my story,” she told Strobel. She kept thinking back about her time growing up, and how the most important people in her life, and all of her friends’ lives, were actually the black nannies who raised them.

At the time she began writing

C OV ER S T ORY the book, Stockett was living in New York — she now lives in Atlanta — and, she told Strobel, “every night that I was lonely in New York, I’d call up my friend and we’d talk about the wonderful experiences that we had growing up.”

Some members of the Literary Lasses also grew up with help in the home. Others said that, as adults, they had done work as maids themselves or hired help in their homes.

“When I was growing up, we had Gladys, who was a black woman that helped my mom,” said Julie Gallivan. “Throughout the book, it just reminded me of her so much. But it was the next era, because she told us, ‘You clean that room before I get there.’”

Marthe Merrill said that her South Carolina upbringing “was absolutely this book. I had Fanny Bonaparte.”

“In our case, the help was there from when I was little all the way up until (my) 95-year-old grandpa died. Nobody was fired, there were no allegations of silver being stolen. They were left money and things, and it was sort of — a part of the family.”

“I would go to Fanny’s house,

just like Skeeter. That was not uncommon,” Merrill said. She was born in 1962, and though things were “definitely segregated, in that there were roles” people were expected to uphold, she could still “go in a car and play with her daughter.”

Party-goers attend an Alice in Wonderland-themed spring ball, hosted by Shien Lee’s Dances of Vice, in New York in March. Lee, a recent graduate of Columbia University, is an events planner and the entrepreneurial force behind a series of monthly costume parties that are at the center of a thriving New York vintage scene.

Priestess of the night Events planner’s costume balls find fascinated audiences in N.Y.

By Ruth La Ferla New York Times News Service

There are two Shien Lees: The schoolgirl, demure in a checkered frock and cardigan; and the siren, faintly dissolute in a lace-edged scarlet frock.

Lee, a recent graduate of Columbia University, is freshscrubbed by day, pursuing a range of cultural interests that include the study of 1920s German art and 18th-century opera.

By night, she is an events planner and the entrepreneurial force behind a series of monthly costume parties that are at the center of a thriving New York vintage scene.

About three years ago, working with a slender budget and a surfeit of imagination, Lee, now 24, conceived the Dances of Vice, a peripatetic costume ball that, depending on its theme, may on any given evening be home to a kinky assortment of self-styled jazz babies in lacquered bobs, burlesque queens, 1940s calendar girls, Edwardian fops or paunchy prelates in mitered hats.

Sipping Pernod or swaying to a

A guest in costume attends a Dada and Surrealismthemed party, organized by Shien Lee’s Dances of Vice, at Don Hill’s club in New York earlier this month.

pastiche of jazz and punk, those revelers — artists, models and even a few scholars — have, since the parties’ inception, haunted clubs as seedy as the Pussycat Lounge, a downtown strip club, or as sophisticated as the Galapagos Art Space in Dumbo in Brooklyn, the cavernous site of an Alice in Wonderland ball that last month drew several hundred paying guests.

The party — a surreal affair presided over by Lee, who was dressed as the Red Queen in a flaring bonnet and tight-bodiced dress — was contrived to encourage her guests to throw off the constraints of workaday lives and become, if only for a night, louche denizens of an otherworldly realm.

“People say my events are shallow, that they’re nothing more than costume parties,” she said, clearly rankled, “but those parties are about self-expression.”

Dressing up in costume, she insisted, “can be a way to transcend the limitations of everyday life.”

Aparna Dasgupta, a fashion designer who was dressed as a chess piece at the Alice party, was of similar mind. “I’m looking for something more than a costume,” she said of her turnout. Made of stiffened paper cylinders, it served, she said, as a kinky fashion alter ego.

What would prompt one to masquerade as, say, a bishop, a

goggled aviator or a weird form of botanic life? Sarah Davies, a high school science teacher, her head emerging budlike from a swirl of furled construction paper, explained that being done up in costume made her feel like a player in an extravagant parallel universe.

Lee’s nocturnal revels are staged assaults against societal conventions and, in her case, a rigid upbringing. At school in Taipei she was often punished for dress-code infractions: letting her hair hang past her earlobes or failing to wear school-issued white socks. For more serious offenses, she recalled, students were forced to waddle on their hands and knees in front of their peers.

Her father, a diplomat, discouraged her artistic bent. “So I became a rebel,” she said. Removing the chopsticks that held her dark waist-length hair in an upsweep, Lee beamed mischief. “I wear my hair down when I go home to Taiwan,” she said. “That way you can’t see the shaved sides.”

A natural provocateur, she pays homage to a string of subversive role models. “I’ve been everything,” she said, “from Josephine Baker performing her banana dance to a nightclub singer in 1920s Shanghai.” When she isn’t managing her masquerades, she sings and plans events at China 1, an Asian-themed lounge in the East Village.

The party themes reflect her scholarly interests. Dada and Surrealism were the twin motifs for a party at the downtown club Don Hill’s on Saturday night guests turning up in gargoyle masks and gangster suits. On April 30, she plans an 18th-century costume ball, with opera singers and a harpsichordist; on May 22, a Parisian cabaret will honor the jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.

About 250 to 300 guests pay a cover of up to $30 for a typical Dance Of Vice party, which costs between $1,000 and $2,000 to produce, she said. A three-day masked ball can set her back as much as $15,000.

Not every event turns a profit.

“This is a risky business,” Lee acknowledged. Then, brightening, she added: “It’s OK to experiment when you’re young. For now, I have nothing to lose.”

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, APRIL 25, 2010

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Reports indicate Creighton’s Altman hired at Oregon EUGENE — Multiple media outlets are reporting Creighton men’s basketball coach Dana Altman has agreed to take over at Oregon.

Fox Sports was the first to report that Dana Altman Altman had been hired to replace Ernie Kent, who was dismissed last month after 13 seasons with his alma mater.

Altman spent 16 seasons at Creighton, finishing with a 327-176 record. He led the Bluejays to 11 consecutive 20-win seasons before they went 18-16 this year. Altman went 68-54 in four seasons as Kansas State’s head coach from 1990-94.

The Ducks tried to lure several high-profile coaches to Eugene before bringing in the 51-year-old Altman.

Oregon went 16-16 overall and 7-11 in the Pac-10 this past season.

Tillamook golfers having a blast in Central Oregon About two dozen players from the coastal town are playing in the C.O. Shootout

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

BLACK BUTTE RANCH — Apparently they do more than just make cheese in Tillamook.

Some who live in the community of about 5,000 on the northern Oregon Coast also play a little golf.

And if you knew no better, you might think the golfers there have all relocated to Central Oregon.

In a sense, this weekend, they have.

Nearly two dozen golfers who play together in the men’s club at Alderbrook Golf Course, the lone 18-hole course in Tillamook, are in Central Oregon to play in the annual Central Oregon Shootout.

The Shootout — staged at Aspen Lakes Golf Course in Sisters, Black Butte Ranch’s Big Meadow course, and Eagle Crest Resort’s Ridge Course — has become a yearly pilgrimage for the Tillamook group.

And the roll of those pilgrims has grown each year, from a handful eight years ago to 20 this year.

“We thought it would be a fun thing to come and do,” said Ron Groshong, a retired business owner who is playing in his seventh Shootout.

Summit track and field is back on top.

After suffering from injuries and illness, the Storm boys charged to a first-place finish in the 12-team Summit Invitational on a sunny but breezy Saturday afternoon at Summit High.

Perhaps not as surprisingly, the Storm

girls also cruised to another team win.

“I’m just really satisfied with our whole program,” said Summit coach Dave Turnbull.

Among the numerous boys victories for the Storm, who won with 139.5 points, was a win in the 1,600-meter relay. Michael Wilson, Zachary Weishaupt, Nathan Guy-

er and Jesse Sanderson outkicked Sisters’ squad at the finish to take first in 3 minutes and 28 seconds.

“The (1,600-meter relay) was huge,” Turnbull noted.

Summit fared well in most of the running events, posting wins in the 100, 200, 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles.

Redmond’s boys squad turned some heads as well.

Bend High completed its three-game sweep of Summit on Saturday, rallying back from a 4-1 deficit to defeat the Storm 5-4.

Kenny Norgaard hit a walkoff double in the bottom of the seventh inning at Bend High to score Chase Clair and give the Lava Bears their Intermountain Conference-best 10th win.

“It’s a testament to our kids,” said Bend coach Dan Weber.

“Whether they’ve got the lead or they’re behind, they show a lot of character.”

The Storm (6-6 IMC, 7-10 overall) grabbed a 3-0 advantage in the top of the first inning after Brennan Rooks and Cody Absalon led off the game with a pair of doubles. Rooks scored on Absalon’s hit, Absalon scored on an RBI-single from Konner Reddick, and Reddick eventually made it 3-0 when he scored on a wild pitch.

Bend made it 3-1 in the second after an RBI-single from Steven Barrett, but Summit extended its lead to 4-1 with another run in the fifth.

The Lava Bears (10-2 IMC, 11-6 overall), though, began their comeback in the bottom of the sixth.

PORTLAND — Brandon Roy was so antsy to return to the Trail Blazers that he campaigned via text message to coach Nate McMillan.

“Coach, I think I should play,” he texted on the eve of Saturday’s playoff game against the Phoenix Suns.

Luckily for the Blazers, McMillan agreed.

Roy was activated Saturday, then helped Portland to a 96-87 victory that evened the first-round series at two

games apiece.

Eight days removed from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, Roy made his surprising return to the court to the strains of the theme from “Rocky” blaring from the Rose Garden sound system, then went on hit a key three-pointer late in the game that shifted the momentum squarely in the Trail Blazers’ favor.

“I just didn’t feel right sitting in the training room knowing that I could contribute — so I just had to keep begging coach,” Roy said afterward.

S B Track and field • Cherry upstages favored Jones at Drake Relays: Damu Cherry upstaged hometown favorite Lolo Jones to win the women’s 100-meter hurdles at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, on Saturday. Cherry won in 12.65 seconds, tying the world’s best mark for 2010 and breaking the meet record set by Jones two years ago. Jones, a Des Moines, Iowa, native who won the race from 2005-08, finished second in 12.68.

• Bolt shines at Penn Relays: Jamaican Usain Bolt dazzled a capacity crowd with a lightning-fast final leg, overtaking USA Blue’s Ivory Williams to win the 4x100meter relay at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia. A quartet of Mario Forsythe, Yohan Blake, Marvin Anderson and Bolt finished in 37.90 seconds for Jamaica Gold, setting a Penn Relays record. Trailing entering the final leg, Bolt took the handoff from Anderson and blazed for the final 100 meters to a raucous ovation. The 23-year-old Bolt holds the world record in the 100- and 200- meter runs.

He waived his appearance fee to participate in the USA vs. The World competition. The excitement began to swell from the moment he walked onto the field, and continued throughout his appearance.

Baseball • Dodgers put RHP Padilla on DL with hurt right arm: Dodgers right-hander Vicente Padilla has been put on the 15-day disabled list because his upper right forearm muscle is bothering him. The move was announced after a 4-3 victory in 13 innings at Washington on Saturday.

Manager Joe Torre did not say who will take Padilla’s spot in the rotation Tuesday against the Mets. He said the team would be calling up right-hander Jon Link from Triple-A Albuquerque before today’s game against the Nationals.

Padilla, the Dodgers’ opening day starter, gave up four runs — three earned — in six innings of an 8-5 loss to Cincinnati on Thursday.

Horse racing • Rachel Alexandra eyeing return at Churchill Downs: Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra could be heading back to work. Owner Jess Jackson is considering running the 4-year-old filly in the $400,000 La Troienne Stakes next Friday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. Rachel Alexandra hasn’t run since finishing second to Zardana in the New Orleans Ladies on March 13, a performance that ended plans for her to meet unbeaten mare Zenyatta at the Apple Blossom. The La Troienne is a 1 1⁄16-mile race for fillies and mares 3-year-olds and up.

Penguins finish off Senators The Associated Press

The Tennessee Titans sent LenDale White to the Seattle Seahawks during a draft-day trade.

Skins’ QB Campbell dealt to Raiders on final day of draft Seahawks pick up former USC star RB LenDale White

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Time to draft and time to trade ... and trade ... and trade.

NFL teams were almost as busy dealing veterans as they were making draft picks Saturday.

Jason Campbell, LenDale White, Kirk Morrison, Leon Washington and Bryant McFadden all changed teams on the final day of the draft.

With Donovan McNabb now in Washington, Campbell became expendable and was sent to Oakland for a fourth-round pick in 2012. Where that leaves JaMarcus Russell, the top overall pick of 2007 who has struggled with the Raiders, is anyone’s guess.

The Tennessee Titans dealt White to Seattle, reuniting the running back with his college coach, Pete Carroll. Later, the Seahawks acquired another runner, versatile Leon Washington, from the Jets — who also released standout guard Alan Faneca.

“Just a great one-two punch to add to our team,” Carroll said of the new runners, both of whom come with question marks. “We’re real excited about Leon Washington. Our guys loved him.”

Washington missed half of 2009 with a severe leg injury. He recently re-signed with the Jets, for whom he has starred as a kick returner, runner and receiver.

“It’s a great opportunity,” he said. “I’m just excited.”

The burly and bruising White helped Carroll win a national championship with the Trojans.

But he lost his starting job to Chris Johnson and had problems being on time for meetings.

“As far as LenDale falling out of favor, he practiced,” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. “He was prepared to play. I think I can’t blame him for wanting to play more. That’s the kind of players you want on your roster. Considering the circumstances, he handled things. There were issues I don’t need to bring up. I thought he handled things reasonably well.”

Oakland also sent starting middle linebacker Morrison to Jacksonville as the bartering got heavy in Round 4.

“For me, it’s a new beginning. I feel like I was drafted all over again,” Morrison said.

Pittsburgh’s fifth-round deal brought back McFadden, who won a Super Bowl with the Steelers in 2008. Arizona drafted quarterback John Skelton of Fordham with the pick it received in the trade.

The fourth round began with St. Louis further bolstering its anemic offense by taking wide receiver Mardy Gilyard, who once lost his scholarship at Cincinnati and even lived out of his car.

When new Seahawks coach Carroll dealt for

One Duck, one Beav selected The final day of the NFL draft saw two players from Oregon colleges taken in rounds four through seven.

The Seattle Seahawks picked defensive back Walter Thurmond from Oregon in the fourth round, 111th overall. Oregon State quarterback Sean Canfield was taken in the seventh round, 239th overall, by the New Orleans Saints.

one of his mainstays at Southern California, getting White from the Titans for Seattle’s fourthrounder and sixth-rounder, Seattle also received defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson. The Titans selected UCLA cornerback Alterraun Verner with the spot acquired in the deal.

Vickerson was suspended for four games in 2008 for violating the NFL performance enhancers policy. He’s been a situational player for Tennessee.

Southern Cal tight end Anthony McCoy, who tested positive for marijuana earlier this year, went 185th overall, also to Carroll in Seattle. McCoy was academically ineligible for the Emerald Bowl last season, the last game Carroll coached for the Trojans before taking the Seahawks’ job.

Oakland selected one of the draft’s fastest players, wideout Jacoby Ford of Clemson, with the pick acquired from the Jaguars for Morrison. After drafting Rolando McClain in the first round to take over at middle linebacker, Morrison became expendable despite leading the Raiders in tackles the past four seasons.

“I definitely didn’t see a slip in my play,” Morrison said. “Now I can move to Jacksonville and show what I can do.”

St. Louis made quarterback Sam Bradford the first overall selection Thursday night and began the second round Friday by choosing offensive lineman Rodger Saffold from Indiana.

Gilyard was pick No. 99 overall and one of the most high-profile players still available. He should help the Rams on kick returns, too.

“It’s like slim to none that kids actually get to go pro,” Gilyard said. “My mom, she’s bananas right now. She’s going to call me about eight times in a row.”

In another deal, the Jets moved up to Carolina’s spot to draft USC’s Joe McKnight at No. 112. That freed the way to deal Washington, and New York chose Kentucky fullback John Conner with the pick secured from Seattle.

Wide receiver Tim Toone of Weber State was Mr. Irrelevant, the 255th and final pick. Unchosen were Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount, who was suspended for most of last season after punching a Boise State player in the opener; wideout Danario Alexander of Missouri, who led the nation with 1,781 yards receiving; and quarterbacks Javon Snead of Mississippi and Max Hall of Brigham Young.

TENNIS ROUNDUP

American Oudin rallies past Russian in Fed Cup semifinals The Associated Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Melanie Oudin had emotion and a hometown-flavored crowd on her side. Those advantages just took some time to kick in.

Oudin beat Alla Kudryavtseva 6-3, 6-3 on Saturday after slow starts in both sets. Then Russia’s Elena Dementieva evened up the Fed Cup semifinals matchup with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over Bethanie Mattek-Sands.

Dementieva, ranked No. 6 in the world, set up a showdown today with Oudin in the best-of-five match.

The 18-year-old Oudin, ranked a career-best 31st, rallied from two games down in each set to win the match at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex Arena. She fell behind 1-3 and 0-2 to the Russian, who was making her Fed Cup debut and admitted nerves bothered her.

Not Oudin, who had the support of some 20 friends and family members from her suburban Atlanta hometown two hours away.

“She definitely loves playing with emotions and showing her emotion, and she loves the fans,” U.S. captain Mary Joe Fernandez said. “She really loves the fans getting behind her and loves that moment out there. It’s something for her that’s very natural, it’s not something you plan.

She knows when she’s back in the match and she knows when she’s close to putting away the match. You saw it a few times today.”

Oudin and the crowd seemed to feed off each other, with her fist-pumping and self-exhortations of “Come on.”

She took control after the slow start, breaking Kudryavtseva’s serve three straight times in the first set.

“I was missing a couple of shots that I normally make,” Oudin said. “I knew I had to hang in there and make her hit a lot of balls, and then she started making some errors and I started playing better and being more aggressive. I was able to close out the first set very well.”

Defending Fed Cup champion Italy took a 2-0 lead over the visiting Czech Republic in the other semifinal, where Flavia Pennetta and Francesca Schiavone each won in straight sets.

Also on Saturday: Verdasco, Soderling in final at Barcelona BARCELONA, Spain — Fernando Verdasco reached his second final in two weeks by beating David Ferrer 6-7 (3), 7-5, 6-1 at the Barcelona Open. Verdasco will play second-seeded Robin Soderling, who reached today’s final after defeating Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands 6-1, 6-4.

OTTAWA — Even with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin held in check, the Pittsburgh Penguins scored four unanswered goals and moved into the second round of the playoffs with a huge comeback win.

Pascal Dupuis scored 9:56 into overtime for Pittsburgh, which erased a three-goal deficit and eliminated the Ottawa Senators from the playoffs with a 4-3 victory in Game 6 on Saturday night.

The Senators led 3-0 in the second period and appeared to go up 4-1 in the frame, but lost a goal to video replay when it was determined the puck crossed the line after the net was knocked off its moorings.

Matt Cooke scored his second of the game with 7:36 left in regulation to tie it at 3. Bill Guerin had a power-play goal earlier in the third, a period in which Pittsburgh held an 18-4 shots advantage.

With Crosby held off the score sheet and Malkin limited to one assist, the Penguins got their offense from the rest of the lineup.

“It says a lot,” said Crosby, who recorded 14 points through the first five games. “We’re going to do our best to create things, but there are going to be nights where it’s tougher than others.

“Some nights it may not go in, or whatever the case is, but we’ve still got to do things out there.

We’ve still got to be productive, whether it’s not on the score sheet. We’ve got to be responsible out there and find ways to help, but certainly there are other guys who can step up and score those goals like we saw tonight.”

Matt Cullen and Daniel Alfredsson each had a goal and an assist for Ottawa, which won Game 5 at Pittsburgh in triple overtime to stave off elimination.

The Senators hoped to force a decisive Game 7 back in the Steel City.

Dupuis made sure a return trip wouldn’t be necessary. He took Jordan Staal’s pass from the left corner and fired a shot past Pascal Leclaire for the winner.

“Jordan made an unbelievable play there in the corner, beat one guy,” Dupuis said. “I thought he was going to give it to me right away. He’s strong enough that he decided to beat another one by himself and he slid it to me there. I’m still not sure where the puck went. I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s in. This is an unbelievable feeling.”

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 28 shots for the Penguins, who won for the eighth time in nine playoff series after they were eliminated

by Ottawa in five games in the first round in 2007.

Staal, who also assisted on Cooke’s first goal midway through the second, said the Pen-

“We need to find that better and really finish them when they’re down. We didn’t do that,” he said. “But I just love the character in this room and the way we can bounce back from things and forget about things and work for the next shift and the next game.”

The fourth-seeded Penguins will have to wait for the remaining two Eastern Conference firstround series to end to know who they will face next.

Joe Pavelski scored two goals, including the tiebreaking tally midway through the third period, to lift the Sharks to a series-clinching win over Colorado in Game 6. Pavelski and Dan Boyle scored 1:29 apart in the final period, propelling topseeded San Jose into the next

round. The Sharks will have to wait to find out who they will face in the Western Conference semifinals.

Devin Setoguchi and Douglas Murray added empty-net goals in the final minute after the Avalanche pulled goalie Craig Anderson for an extra skater.

Chicago can advance in the Western Conference playoffs with a win at Nashville on Monday night.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Bob Baffert has little doubt who should be the favorite in the Kentucky Derby.

The Hall of Fame trainer says Wood Memorial winner Eskendereya is “a star” and “the horse to beat.”

All of which suits Baffert just fine. He’ll happily test his luck with Lookin at Lucky.

The 3-year-old colt has won Baffert over with his toughness, a quality that will be in high demand when 20 horses head to the starting gate for next weekend’s Run for the Roses.

“He’s not going to be intimidated by a lot of horses,” Baffert said. “He’s had a great mind since day one, the first time I ran him.”

Lookin at Lucky showed that grit during the worst performance of his career in the Santa Anita Derby three weeks ago. Despite a nightmarish trip that left Baffert momentarily steamed at jockey Garrett Gomez, Lookin at Lucky got up for third.

Not bad for a horse Baffert felt was finished, or maybe even injured, after seeing him check up early in the race. Baffert was so disgusted he stopped watching the race and joked that he was thankful there were no microphones in the general vicinity.

“I thought, ‘This is it,’” Baffert said. “I’ve got my silver bullet just trying to get around and all that happens.”

Gomez and Baffert have patched things up and Gomez will ride the horse in the Derby.

Baffert has been around long enough to know that it takes more than a good horse to win the Derby. He hasn’t entered the Winner’s Circle in the Derby since 2002, a lifetime considering he won his three Derbys in a six-year stretch.

Fred Couples tees off at the fourth hole during the final round of the Masters in Augusta, Ga., April 11.

Over-50 set is keeping up with the young guys

By Pete Iacobelli The Associated Press

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Everyone wants to know Tom Watson’s secret to playing superior golf at 60.

Here it is: competition.

“That’s all it takes,” Watson says.

Maybe those questioners should quit asking and pay attention. Watson, well past the PGA Tour’s cut line, has continued to hang with the game’s much younger stars at the biggest events.

Watson lost a chance at his sixth British Open title last July, falling in a playoff to 36-yearold Stewart Cink. Earlier this month, Watson opened the Masters with a 5-under 67, one off the lead held by his Champions Tour colleague, Fred Couples.

Watson chalks up the strong play to the fields he and Couples face each week in the 50-andover set.

“That’s what I’ve said about the reason I’m still out there and have done well in some of the kids’ major championships,” Watson said. “I still have the ability, the opportunity to compete.”

He and Couples, 50, both plan to continue testing themselves against the game’s best players.

Watson, a seven-time major champion, accepted an exemption into the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, site of his stirring win over Jack Nicklaus in 1982, when he famously chipped in from the rough at No. 17 to take the victory.

It is Watson’s first U.S. Open since 2003 — and another chance to surprise those who think the

50-and-over set should settle into weekend games at the club.

Couples, like Watson taking part in the Legends of Golf, sure doesn’t think so. He’s playing on the PGA Tour the next two weeks at the Quail Hollow Championship and The Players Championship.

Couples stayed in the Masters mix halfway through Sunday’s final round and eventually finished tied for sixth at Augusta National.

“I think if I am swinging good,” Couples said, “there’s a lot of places I can still do well.”

For Couples, his stops on the PGA Tour mean he’ll play seven straight events — something he hadn’t done since 1992, when he won the Masters.

“I want to see if I can play with the younger guys,” Couples said.

“But not that much.”

Couples has enjoyed the camaraderie and more laid-back nature he’s found so far on the Champions Tour, something that’s long appealed to golf stars turning 50 who want to keep their careers going.

“It’s less pressure,” said Tom Kite, who won the 1992 U.S. Open. “That’s what the Champions Tour is.”

Couples has also given his new tour a boost with his hot start, including three victories and a second place in five individual Champions Tour events. He may show up at a few more PGA Tour stops this season.

“But next year will be strictly on the Champions Tour,” Couples said.

If he’s anything like Watson, that will keep Couples’ game

sharp as ever. He’s averaged close to 300 yards off the tee this week and, along with partner Jay Haas, gone 6-under on Savannah Harbor Golf Resort’s par 5s.

“That’s basically it,” Couples said simply. “Drove it very well, kept it in play and then birdied a lot of par 5s and made a lot of nice par putts.”

Watson discovered a perfect swing for him late in his career, past when he won his major championships and most of his 39 PGA Tour titles. Once he found it, Watson found the power and consistency to keep close enough to the latest generation of mad bombers.

“I tell a lot of the younger guys, if this guy (Watson) would have hit the ball in his late 20s and early 30s like he has in his 50s, he’d have won 20 tournaments a year,” said Andy North, a twotime U.S. Open champion and current ESPN golf analyst.

Watson shrugs off the words of his Legends partner — the two teamed to win this event in 2008 — and points to an attitude he’s tried to carry throughout his career.

Is anything better than “to be able to play a game for a living and make some money at it?” he said.

Few have been better at it than Watson, who entered the year having earned more than $22 million in his career.

As long as they’ve got a place to stay crisp, Watson thinks it’s not such a surprise when former PGA Tour stars shoot in the 60s beyond their 60s.

“That’s kind of why I guess I’m here,” he said.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Bohn takes lead before darkness halts third round of Zurich Classic The Associated Press AVONDALE, La. — Jason Bohn had a three-stroke lead Saturday when third-round play in the weather-plagued Zurich Classic was suspended because of darkness.

Bohn, celebrating his 37th birthday, shot a 5-under 67 in the completion of the second round and was even par through six holes in the third.

“What I’m most excited about how I’m just really focused and I’m very patient at what I’m trying to do,” Bohn said after completing the second round.

Greg Chalmers and Alex Cejka were tied for second at 9 under. Chalmers played seven holes in the third round, and Cejka completed six.

“I’m a little bit tired today,” Cejka said. “But I’m glad I got seven holes in or 6½ and I’m 2under par today.”

Chalmers was one of the few well-rested players Saturday after completing his second round Friday.

“I had a pretty relaxing day, really,” the Australian said. “Sitting around watching TV, bored out of my mind for about eight hours. Then I came out and played seven holes, six holes really well, and one hole just average.”

Kevin Sutherland, Greg Owen, John Senden, Jeff Overton and Shaun Micheel were 8 under.

Sutherland finished 11 holes, while the others were still on the

The rain and lightning that stopped play Friday and delayed it Saturday morning gave way to strong wind that gusted to more than 40 mph by the afternoon.

“I’m going to say that the rain is what helped the golf course,” Bohn said. “It’s allowed us to play it with this wind and it’s still accessible. Without the rain, if you were to have this kind of wind with it as dry as it was on Thursday, it could be treacherous.”

Third-round play was set to

resume at 5:30 a.m. PDT today.

Bohn, the 2005 B.C. Open winner, will open with a 17-foot birdie putt on the par-5 seventh.

“Another long day, yeah,” Bohn said as he left the course Saturday night after playing 24 holes. “I have 30 holes to play or something tomorrow.”

“Hopefully we’ll have good weather and we can finish in time,” Cejka said.

Also on Saturday: Bean/Lu top leaderboard SAVANNAH, Ga. — Andy Bean and Lu Chien-soon teamed to shoot a better-ball 12-under 60 in a steady, light rain to take a one-stroke lead after two rounds in the Champions Tour’s Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.

Bean and Lu, 19 under overall, played the final 10 holes in 10 under to pull ahead of the teams of Blaine McCallister and Bob Tway (63) and Nick Price and Mark O’Meara (64). John Cook and Joey Sindelar (65) were fourth at 17 under.

Australian takes one-stroke lead JEJU, South Korea — Australia’s Marcus Fraser shot a 2-under 70 to take a 1-stroke lead into the final round of the weather-shortened Ballantine’s Championship.

Fraser had a 9-under 135 total.

Defending champion Thongchai Jaidee (67), Tano Goya (70) and Gareth Maybin (68) were 8 under in the tournament cut to 54 holes after fog disrupted play for more than six hours Thursday.

Continued from D1 “It is (a lot of fun),” he added.

“Usually on one day, some women come over with their husbands, and they put on a little barbecue after. And we get together and tell old war stories.”

Most of the Tillamook golfers are between 55 and 70 years old. Or as Groshong put it, “pretty old.”

The tournament, played in two-person teams, boasts a field of more than 300 amateur golfers, most of whom are not from Central Oregon.

Slowly, the Tillamook group is taking over the Shootout by persuading more members of the men’s club at Alderbrook to make an April trip to Central Oregon.

“Some (players) are tighter (friends) than others,” said Greg Myers, a Tillamook dairy farmer playing in his first Shootout with his father, Ed. “But every time we go out (to Alderbrook) and see each other, everybody gets along well.

There is some camaraderie between the people.”

And having fun together is not a problem.

Said Roger Miller, a corrections officer from Beaver, near Tillamook, in his second year at the Shootout: “There is usually a party after (each round in the Shootout).

“I came down last year and loved the format,” Miller added. “And the courses are outstanding. It’s just been fantastic. There are some good people playing out here.”

The Tillamook group is a boisterous crowd, characterized by a sense of humor that can come only from familiarity.

Who is the best player of the bunch?

“Jim Metcalfe is the WORST player,” Miller deadpanned in reference to his teammate for the tournament, who happened to be standing within earshot.

Miller was not alone in selling out his playing partner.

In fact, for many of the Tillamook golfers, the banter is part of the appeal of the trip.

“I assume that we’ll all be back next year, if I can get him to learn to play golf,” joked Mike St. Clair, who manages the Tillamook Les Schwab Tire Center, of his playing partner, Ed Myers. “If I can get him to putt. … If he could only make those 10-footers and 12footers …”

Replied Myers, a retired dairy farmer: “Yeah, he wants me to do it all.”

Through the first two rounds of the Shootout, no Tillamook golfer was leading any of the six competition flights.

But Metcalfe, a retired corrections officer, said there is more to the tournament than just beating the other teams from other cities.

After all, they will soon return to Tillamook and Alderbrook. And then there will be debts to settle.

“It’s called bragging rights,” Metcalfe said. “The competition is between us.”

This won’t be the last year at the Shootout for the Tillamook golfers.

In fact, they guess that the group will be even bigger in future years.

“I’m planning on this again next year already,” said Greg Myers, who after just two days in Central Oregon said he is convinced that the Shootout is a must-play golf tournament.

Thunder roll past Lakers OKC evens series at two games with 21-point win The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY — At the time last summer when Kevin Durant suggested the Oklahoma City Thunder should be shooting for the playoffs this season, it was considered an outlandish statement.

But look at them now.

Durant scored 22 points, Russell Westbrook added 18 points and eight rebounds, and the Thunder evened the first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers with a 110-89 victory in Game 4 on Saturday night.

“A lot of people didn’t expect us to be here and once we got here, people were saying we were going to get swept and a lot of different things,” Durant said.

“We knew what we were capable of and how hard we play every day and how hard we practice every day.

“With those attributes, I think that we can go far as a team. It’s all on us. We control our own destiny at this point.”

For the second straight game, the Thunder capitalized on a significant edge at the foul line and on the boards despite the presence of the Lakers’ 7-foot tandem of Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum.

Oklahoma City never trailed after the opening 5 minutes and led by double digits for the final three quarters in a thorough dismantling.

“This is as big as a game can possibly be,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “You’re playing against one of the best teams in the playoffs on your home floor. Like I told the guys after the game, the Lakers did a good job the first two games. They took care of their home court.

We did the same thing.”

Bynum had 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Gasol also had 13 points to lead Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant had 12 points after spending the entire first quarter deferring to his teammates and the whole fourth quarter on the bench with three other L.A. starters.

“I was managing the game exactly how I wanted to. Unfortunately, it got away from us,” Bry-

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook shoots over Los Angeles Lakers Derek Fisher and Kobe Bryant in the second quarter of Game 4 of a first-round NBA playoff series in Oklahoma City Saturday. ant said. “By them getting out in transition and getting those buckets, I wasn’t able to do what I normally do at the end of the game and close games out.”

Lakers coach Phil Jackson stood by Bryant’s decision to wait nearly 15 minutes into the game — and until his team was down by 15 — to take his first shot, but said, “It was a pretty good meltdown” in the second half.

“Our expectation is we wanted to win both of these games and be done with it. I think that’s every team’s mindset coming on the road being up 2-0,” Bryant said. “It’s not the reality of the situation. We’ve got a tough fight, and it should be fun.”

Game 5 is Tuesday night in

Los Angeles.

After Durant clamped down on Bryant in the fourth quarter of the Thunder’s 101-96 win in Game 3, the matchup between the NBA’s youngest scoring champion and the 2008 MVP never materialized this time around.

Instead, both superstars were on the bench for the entire fourth quarter while lineups of mostly reserves toiled away with little more than the final margin at stake. Bynum was the only Lakers’ starter to play in the fourth, as Bryant, Gasol, Derek Fisher and Ron Artest stayed on the sidelines.

Bryant considered it a chance for extra healing time on his aching right knee, which has required a “boatload of treatment”

lately.

It was the Lakers’ largest playoff loss since Boston’s clinching 131-92 victory in Game 6 of the 2008 finals. Oklahoma City held a 50-43 rebounding edge and shot 20 more free throws — finishing 42 of 48 — while leading by as many as 29.

“The only thing that did cross my mind was, ‘Wow! We’re up on the Lakers by 29,’ and a big part of me thought that. You don’t expect that,” Brooks said.

Oklahoma City grabbed the lead early and pulled away with a 12-0 run late in the first quarter. Westbrook had the first six points in the rush and Bryant headed to the bench for his first rest of the game while Oklahoma City surged to a 27-14 lead.

The Lakers were never within single digits again.

“It was a great feeling but we know we’ve still got work to do,” Westbrook said.

The Thunder are still fighting against history. Only three of 52 eighth-seeded teams have ever pulled an upset against a No. 1 seed, and Jackson is 44-0 when his team wins Game 1 of any playoff series.

But who expected Oklahoma City, the youngest team in the league, to make it this far in the first place? The team won only 23 games last season and made no significant free-agent acquisitions before its 27-win improvement.

In other games on Saturday: Magic. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90 Bobcats . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 86 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — With its superstar center stuck on the bench again, Orlando showed the depth, grit and experience of a championship contender.

Jameer Nelson scored 32 points and the Magic overcame Dwight Howard’s continuing foul trouble and a loud, towel-waving crowd in Charlotte’s return to the playoff stage to beat the Bobcats, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in their first-round series.

Bucks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 107 Hawks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 89 MILWAUKEE — John Salmons scored 22 points on nine-of-11 shooting and Milwaukee never let up after a hot start in a victory over Atlanta.

The Bucks shot 68 percent in the first quarter and 51 percent for the game following a threeday layoff and were never seriously threatened after building a 19-point, first-half lead.

Continued from D1 The first-round series now moves back to Phoenix on Monday night. It wasn’t supposed to include Roy, but things changed Friday.

McMillan said it was a “long, sleepless night” in deciding to play Roy, the team’s unquestioned leader. He even brought owner Paul Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, in on the discussion.

“All kinds of things went through my head, thinking about the risk of him reinjuring himself,” McMillan said.

“But our doctors didn’t feel like Brandon could hurt himself.”

LaMarcus Aldridge, who had been double-teamed all series long without Roy, benefited the most from his return, with 31 points and 11 rebounds.

“As soon as he checked into the game, I got my first open shot with nobody guarding me, so I was thinking thank God he’s back,” Aldridge said.

Roy, who had the surgery to repair a torn meniscus, came into the game to a deafening ovation with 4:06 left in the first quarter and made a layup about a minute later to put Portland ahead 20-19.

Roy played a relatively quiet 26 minutes, but hit a threepointer with 4:55 left that gave Portland a 85-79 lead.

“I’d certainly say it gave them a lift,” Suns guard Steve Nash said. “More than anything it just gave everyone a boost in their spirit and attitude. That was good for the crowd and good for his teammates to have him out there.”

Amare Stoudemire led the Suns with 26 points.

After dropping the series opener 105-100 in Phoenix, the Suns cruised to a 119-90 home victory before beating the Blazers 108-89 in Portland to take the series lead going into Saturday’s game.

“We didn’t bring it, we just didn’t bring it,” Stoudemire said. “We realized how important the game was. We didn’t bring the effort, we didn’t bring the energy, we didn’t rebound, we didn’t attack.

We had a chance to go up 3-1, which would have been great.

Now we’ve got to go back to a must-win situation.”

The Suns in the previous two games had stymied Portland with an up-tempo pick-and-roll, kicking the ball out to Jason Richardson, who had a career playoff-high 42 points in Game 3.

The Blazers caught on in Game 4, limiting Richardson to 15 points. Nash also had 15 points and eight assists.

“For us, the difference in the game was that we didn’t play with the energy that we needed to in order to beat this team,” Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. “And if you don’t, you struggle. I thought we had the pace of the game where we needed to have it at the start, but we ended up with 37 in the second half. You won’t be able to beat this team doing that.”

The Blazers were much more competitive at the start than they had been the past two games.

Rudy Fernandez hit a threepointer that put Portland up 35-33 in the second quarter and the Blazers extended the lead to 51-45 with 2:09 left on Aldridge’s dunk.

The Suns kept it close, narrowing it to 52-50 on Grant Hill’s pull-up jumper before Marcus Camby’s tip-in put Portland up 54-50 at the half.

Richardson hit two consecutive three-pointers to open the second half and gave Phoenix a 56-54 lead.

Portland responded, going up 70-64 on Jerryd Bayless’ fastbreak jumper, but the slight cushion was short-lived and Stoudemire’s hook tied it at 74 early in the fourth quarter.

The Suns were unable to pull ahead, despite poor shooting by the Blazers from the field. Portland missed 12 straight shots but was able to stay in the game on the free throw line.

Then came Roy’s three-pointer with 4:55 left to make it 85-79. He also made a pull-up jumper with 2:10 left that gave the Blazers a 9183 lead, their biggest of the game.

Roy, who for a long time had a note with the words “Stay Humble” in his locker, gave himself an average grade.

“For the first game in a couple of weeks I thought I did OK,” he said. “Once I get my rhythm back, I’m capable of making shots.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL

No. 18 Oregon loses to USC in extra innings From wire reports EUGENE — The No. 18 Oregon baseball team had its threegame winning streak snapped on Saturday, as USC defeated the Ducks 5-4 Saturday in 10 innings in the middle game of a Pac-10 series.

A day after the Ducks piled up 12 runs on 13 hits, their bats went silent. UO managed just five hits, as second baseman Danny Pulfer and right fielder Steven Packard had two apiece.

Mike O’Neill went four for six and knocked in the game-winning run in the 10th inning for USC. Ricky Oropesa went two for five with two doubles and three RBIs for the Trojans (1721, 3-11), who snapped an eight-

game conference losing streak.

The game was tied at 2-2 before a wild finish.

O’Neill hit a one-out single in the ninth and Joe De Pinto followed with a hard ground ball to shortstop that Oregon’s KC Serna could not come up with as the infield single put runners at first and third. Oropesa then launched an RBI double to right for the 3-2 lead and Matt Foat followed by hitting a hard grounder off a drawn-in infield, bouncing into center for a 4-2 score.

Chad Smith, who relieved Mount in the eighth, opened the Oregon (26-13, 7-7) ninth by hitting Steven Packard and Jack Marder with pitches, later walking Dylan Gavin to load the

bases with no outs. Mezger then entered, uncorking a wild pitch against J.J. Altobelli to cut the lead to one. Altobelli was then intentionally walked to load the bases, but Mezger got Curtis Raulinaitis to ground into a 4-63 double play and Marder scored the tying run.

With two outs in the 10th against Oregon closer Drew Gagnier, Alex Glenn drew a walk and then stole second. Gagnier then threw a wild pitch to Ryan Bast on ball four as Glenn advanced to third. O’Neill then hit a grounder that just got underneath Pulfer’s glove at second to plate the go-head run.

The series concludes today at noon.

OSU falls to Washington State for sixth loss in seven games From wire reports PULLMAN, Wash. — The Oregon State baseball team lost to Washington State, 12-4, Saturday in the second game of the series at Bailey-Brayton Field.

The Beavers dropped to 20-13 overall in 2010 and 3-8 in Pacific10 Conference play. Washington State, meanwhile, improved to 21-14 and 5-6 in league play.

Stefen Romero hit his ninth home run of the season and Rob Folsom doubled twice, but the Beavers found themselves down 11-1 after three innings and could not overcome the early deficit.

Oregon State starter Tanner Robles was chased after 3 2⁄3 in-

nings and took the loss to drop to 4-4 on the year. He allowed nine hits and 11 runs while striking out three. He was relieved by Ryan Gorton in the fourth.

The Cougars chased Robles during their eight-run fourth.

WSU had eight hits during the frame, and sent 11 batters to the plate. Matt Fanelli led off the inning with a solo home run and the Cougars scored five of their eight runs with two outs.

OSU scored a solo run in the first when Carter Bell was walked with the bases loaded by Washington State starter David Stilley. The Cougars answered back with three runs in the third,

highlighted by a two-run double off the bat of Brett Jacobs.

Parker Berberet drove in two with a double in the sixth, and Romero hit his team-leading ninth home run of the season in the seventh.

Stilley went five innings to improve to 2-1 on the year. He scattered six hits and three runs while walking four and striking out four.

Oregon State and Washington State conclude the three-game series today at noon PDT. Righty Sam Gaviglio (1-1, 5.66) is slated to go for the Beavers. Washington State has yet to announce a starter.

points) to a third-place finish. Sisters (74) took fourth behind wins from Parker Bennett (1,500 and 3,000) and Drew Harrison (800).

Ty Slater (javelin) and Jake Logan (pole vault) scored wins for fifth-place La Pine (64.5), while Culver slotted in at 11th place.

On the girls side, Kellie Schueler posted the best times in the 100- and 200-meter events en route to the Storm’s decisive home win. Summit’s score of 196.5 easily topped runner-up Mountain View, which scored 102.25 points.

The Storm’s Rachel Slater, who according to Turnbull has dropped two seconds from her 400-meter time, won Saturday’s race in 61.23 seconds.

“She has to be scaring some

people,” Turnbull said about the senior’s improved marks.

Mountain View was paced by Shaina Zollman’s win in the long jump as the Cougars consistently placed athletes in the top five spots.

Sisters (101.5 points) was hot on the Cougars’ heels in third place and Redmond managed a fifth-place performance with 58.5 points, thanks in part to Sarah MacKenzie’s winning effort in the 2,000-meter steeplechase. La Pine’s Kassi Conditt helped boost the Hawks to sixth place with wins in the shot put and discus, and Laura Jackson posted her fifth victory of the season in the 1,500.

Poor weather cancels all the Saturday action at Talladega

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

TALLADEGA, Ala. — NASCAR canceled all Saturday track activity at Talladega Superspeedway because of threats of extended periods of severe weather.

Track officials said the decision was made on advice from the Talladega County Emergency Management Agency and the National Weather Service, which said Talladega County was one of the areas in Alabama facing a high risk of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes on Saturday.

“Fans are strongly encouraged to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety, especially those guests camping on speedway property,” track officials said.

The Nationwide Series race scheduled for Saturday will now be held today following the Sprint Cup Series race. It’s the second consecutive weekend that NASCAR will attempt a

doubleheader.

Rain last weekend in Texas washed out both Cup and Nationwide events, and they were run back-to-back on Monday. Drivers who competed in both series totaled 801 miles of racing.

There are 10 drivers scheduled to run both of today’s races, which are scheduled to total 811.30 miles barring any additional “overtime” laps.

Qualifying for Talladega’s Cup race was canceled, and the field for today’s race will be set by owner points. Four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson will lead Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle to the green flag.

With the new schedule set, officials turned their attention to safety.

Fans camping on the sprawling speedway grounds were encouraged to dismantle their tents and seek more stable shelter.

Most drivers and crew chiefs are also on property in their private motorhomes located just aside

the garage. Security was going motorhome-to-motorhome to advise competitors of areas inside the track where they could seek shelter.

At least one driver, Denny Hamlin, left the property. Hamlin posted on his Twitter page he was headed back to Charlotte, N.C., to catch Game 3 in the NBA playoff series between the Bobcats and Orlando Magic.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., still on the clock as he and Jamie McMurray helped Daytona International Speedway announce a repaving project set to begin in July, said he didn’t know what he’d do during the storms — particularly if there’s a tornado.

“I was gonna ask for advice about the best plan,” Earnhardt said. “I ain’t got my plan together yet. I’ll look up in the sky a lot, I reckon.”

The Sprint Cup race will begin at 10 a.m. PDT, as scheduled, and the Nationwide Series race will follow.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, APRIL 25, 2010

DAVID BROOKS

The old war is back with a fury

I

n these columns I try to give voice to a philosophy you might call progressive conservatism. It starts with the wisdom of Edmund Burke — the belief that the world is more complex than we can know and we should be skeptical of handing too much power to government planners. It layers in a dose of Hamiltonian optimism — the belief that limited but energetic government can nonetheless successfully enhance opportunity and social mobility.

This general philosophy puts me to the left of where the Republican Party is now, and to the right of the Democratic Party.

It puts me in that silly spot on the political map, the center, or a step to the right of it.

The center has been losing political power pretty much my entire career. But I confess that about 16 months ago I had some hope of a revival. The culture war, which had bitterly divided the country for decades, was winding down. The war war — the fight over Iraq and national security — was also waning.

The country had just elected a man who vowed to move past the old polarities, who valued discussion and who clearly had some sympathy with both the Burkean and Hamiltonian impulses. He staffed his administration with brilliant pragmatists whose views overlapped with mine, who differed only in that they have more faith in technocratic planning.

Yet things have not worked out for those of us in the broad middle. Politics is more polarized than ever.

What happened?

History happened. The administration came into power at a time of economic crisis. This led it, in the first bloom of selfconfidence, to attempt many big projects all at once. Each of these projects may have been defensible in isolation, but in combination they created the impression of a federal onslaught.

One of the odd features of the Democratic Party is its inability to learn what politics is about. It’s not about winning arguments. It’s about deciding which arguments you are going to have. In the first year of the Obama administration, the Democrats, either wittingly or unwittingly, decided to put the big governmentversus-small government debate at the center of American life.

Just as America was leaving the culture war and the war war, the Democrats thrust it back into the government war, only this time nastier and with higher stakes. As government grew, the anti-government right mobilized. This produced the Tea Party movement — a characteristically raw but authentically American revolt led by members of the yeoman enterprising class.

As government grew, many moderates and independents (not always the same thing) recoiled in alarm. In 2008, the country was evenly split on whether there should be bigger government with more services or smaller government with fewer services. Now, according to a Pew Research Center poll, the smaller government side has a 10-point edge.

Since President Barack Obama’s election, the share of Americans who call themselves liberals (24 percent) has remained flat, but the share who call themselves conservatives (42 percent) has risen as much as 10 percentage points, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll, as former moderates have shifted to the antigovernment side.

As government has seemed more threatening, moderates and independents have also fled from the Democratic Party.

Democratic favorability ratings have dropped by 21 points over the past year, from 59 percent to 38 percent. Democrats are viewed less favorably than at any time in modern history.

The government war is playing out just as you’d expect it to, strengthening those with pure positions and leaving those of us in the middle in the crossfire. If the debate were about how to increase productivity or improve living standards, people like me could play. But when the country is wrapped up in a theological debate about the size of government, people like me are stuck crossways, trying to make distinctions no one heeds.

This is a disappointing time. The Democrats have become the government party and the Republicans are the small government party. The stale, old debate is back with a fury. The war, as always, takes control.

The volcano in southern Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull glacier continues to erupt more than a week after its initial explosion.

Brynjar Gauti The Associated Press

the pulse

of a volcano Iceland eruption illustrates how hard it is to predict the size and scope of a volcanic blast The Iceland eruptions De ce mb e r’09-March ’10 — Earthquakes and ground deformation are recorded by seismic devices in the area of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano March 20 — Red cloud is observed after eruption along a 1-mile-wide (1.6 km) ice-free pass between the Eyjafjallajokull and Katla volcanos March 21 — Hawaiian-style fire fountains from 10 to 12 vents are observed, with lava jets

By Joel Achenbach The Washington Post

The year of the earthquake has suddenly become the year of the volcano.

The eruption in Iceland is not large as volcanoes go, but the cloud over Europe shed light on the awkward overlay of human commerce and a hot, churning, unpredictable Earth. It raises the question of what governments can do to prepare for — and adapt to — wild-card geological events that not only affect airliners but can also potentially alter the planet’s climate for years at a stretch.

The volcano with the difficult name of Eyjafjallajokull is not powerful enough to change climate — it has ejected material only as high as about 20,000 feet, and would need to launch the ash at least 33,000 feet to have global climatic effects, according to the National Ocean-

reaching up to about 320 feet; lava and a small amount of ash are reported, with no ice melt March 22-31 — Spectacular falls of molten lava are seen flowing off steep cliffs, melting snow and forming rivers Early April — Activity stops in original eruption craters, but is detected in new fissure; lava flows average 30-60 feet deep April 13-14 — Extensive quake swarm under central Eyjafjallajokull; new vent erupts under ice-

ic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

No one can be entirely sure what will happen next in Iceland. Eyjafjallajokull could potentially incite an eruption of its larger neighbor, Katla, which hasn’t erupted since 1918 and might be ready to rumble. In all three historically recorded eruptions of Eyjafjallajokull — in 920, 1612 and 1821 — Katla erupted soon thereafter.

“The eruption that’s going on right now is small in comparison to what we expect Katla would be like,” said Jay Miller, a volcanologist at Texas A&M University.

Events in recent days have demonstrated the inherent uncertainties of volcano science.

Although volcanoes are far more predictable than earthquakes, they remain quirky, with each one having its own personality.

Kitzhaber best choice for Dems

N

ext month’s Democratic gubernatorial primary features two very familiar candidates.

One is Bill Bradbury, who spent a decade and a half

in the state Legislature before spending a decade as secretary of state. The other is John Kitzhaber, who spent more than a decade in the Legislature before serving two terms as governor. It was Kitzhaber, in fact, who appointed Bradbury secretary of state more than a decade ago. Small world.

Kitzhaber is clearly the better candidate, notwithstanding his oft-quoted claim that Oregon is ungovernable.

Not only has he held the job he seeks, but he clearly recognizes the public’s hunger for leaders willing to transform government. It remains to be seen whether voters consider the two-term governor and longtime political insider a credible (and desirable) agent of change. In all likelihood, we’ll find out in November. But Kitzhaber, at least, recognizes the significance of the political moment.

To read Kitzhaber’s lengthy strategies for jobs, public education and clean energy is to encounter again and again his enthusiastic support for fundamental transformation. To make such change, however, “we must find the courage to challenge the structures and assumptions of some of our most cherished programs — in education, social services, public safety, environmental stewardship, energy and economic development as well.”

This is a grand proclamation. And to his credit, Kitzhaber does have the courage to take positions unpopular with public employee unions, whose support has meant so much to Democratic candidates. He believes employees should share some of the looming increases in PERS costs. He also believes financial incentives in the form of graduated co-pays are a good idea for state employees, who now pay nothing for health care.

Kitzhaber also supports the use of performance measures in evaluating teachers, which, no doubt, helps to explain why the Oregon Education Association endorsed Bradbury. He believes that the state superintendent of public instruction should become an appointed position, which we support. And most interesting, perhaps, he’d like to create a unified budgeting and governance entity for all public education in Oregon, including K-12, community colleges and universities. Kitzhaber, by the way, is partly responsible for the existence of Oregon State University’s branch campus in Bend. Without him, it probably wouldn’t exist.

Fixing Oregon’s economy will require “transformational changes,” too, though his jobs plan is a combination of the nebulous and the familiar. The state needs to do more to attract and retain businesses, “leverage its leadership” in sustainability, encourage innovation, invest in transportation infrastructure and create biomass energy.

Ho, hum.

In order to create the proper climate, he argues, the state needs to reform its public finance system, diverting much

of the kicker to a reserve fund and broadening the tax base, which is too reliant upon the personal income tax.

Achieving either of these would certainly be “transformative,” and the latter is certainly necessary. But neither idea is particularly new.

Assuming he wins in May, Kitzhaber will face the difficult task of convincing voters that he — the governor who preceded Ted Kulongoski — is the right candidate to transform government systems he either helped to create or failed to transform in the past. But at least he recognizes the public’s hunger for change. He’s an experienced, big-picture policy wonk, as demonstrated by his years of work on health care.

And most importantly, for Democrats anyway, he’s far more electable than Bradbury, whose platform is a strange combination of extreme transformation and extreme denial. Among the former is Bradbury’s determination to expand renewable portfolio standards, which require utilities to generate a certain percentage of electricity from relatively expensive renewable sources.

Then, there’s his desire for more “progressive regulation” that would, among other things, mimic California’s new energy requirements for flat-screen TVs. He’d like to support a federal cap on carbon emissions. And, of course, he continues to oppose the creation of terminals for liquid natural gas. Because, after all, “it makes little sense to invest time and money in a fossil fuel that will simply delay addressing the inevitable fact that we must transition to a renewable energy future.”

And on the strength of the economy such “progressive regulation” would create, Bradbury wants to increase public education spending to the level recommended by the entirely unrealistic Quality Education Model. Meanwhile, he has little, if any, appetite for reining in government costs. Here’s what he has to say about the PERS: “First, we must pay the negotiated benefits that we have promised to public employees. Second, I will oppose efforts to create even further reductions in benefits. Anyone who calls for a Tier 4 in the system does not understand PERS and is simply using this issue to further reduce public employee benefits.” Take that, fiscal moderates!

Oregonians do hunger for fundamental government transformation, as Kitzhaber recognizes. But Bill Bradbury’s environmentally faultless poor farm probably isn’t what most voters have in mind. Democrats should give Kitzhaber a chance to make his case in November.

My Nickel’s Worth What about Deer Ridge?

Perhaps someone could explain to me why we would consider doubling the size of the Deschutes County jail at the cost of $44 million, not including staffing, when about 45 miles to our north lies the brand new Deer Ridge Correctional Institution with 1,223 empty beds. It seems to me a deal could be struck with the state prison system — those same geniuses who built that unnecessary prison in the first place — to lease however many beds we needed to house Deschutes County inmates.

When teleconferencing won’t do, I would think a prison bus could be purchased and staffed to transport those same inmates to and from Deer Ridge for a few dollars less than $44 million.

We could name it Con-Trails.

Time for change As I’ve watched the county commissioners race heat up with endorsements for the challengers indicating The Bulletin wants change, I thought I’d throw my five cents worth into this.

Tammy Baney, if you thought it was OK to get a massage and pay only $15 for it (the county workers union authorized raising the co-pay to $60) while the rest of us are losing our homes and feeling the effects of the worst recession in memory, then you shouldn’t get four more years!

No do-overs! Lets get some new blood in the county commissioners office! Maybe then the elected officials will get it! We need things to change.

Kudos to The Bulletin for recognizing this and endorsing change!

Imagine how much this is going to help young people.

Really, insurance companies should have provided this benefit years ago!

Frivolous spending I just read “Judge talks budget at forum in Bend.” Let me get this straight, they suffered a blow that is leading to budget cuts? And this would be instead of getting rid of frivolous spending, i.e., massages and other perks noted recently in the state and counties of Oregon? Give me a break!

U.S. needed health reform It was so wonderful that the health care reform bill was passed. We have needed this for so long. It is not right that many Americans do not have access to health care. Health care should not be tied to a job. If you lose your job or retire, you are faced with no health care.

That is a terrible situation to be in, and no one in America should be put in this situation through no fault of their own.

This bill will help address these is-

sues, along with several others. We should not be in a have and have not situation with health care. But, for a chain of circumstances, any one of us could be without health care. Would you want your family to be faced with no health care due to forces beyond your control?

Cut spending and debt I am so disillusioned and worried about the fiscal path that we are presently taking in our country. My concern is not so much about myself, but for the future of my young family. This concern primarily evolves around the fact that our country is drowning in so much unburdened debt. Our national deficit is on a precipitous edge. It is possible that one day our favorable international credit rating will fall below triple A, the highest category, which will then increase our costs associated with borrowing worldwide. If this happens, our government will be forced to pay more to borrow, which will likely result in severe cuts to current programs, entitlements, and of course, higher taxes.

What our policymakers need to do is face reality. We must reign in government spending, pay down our debt, prioritize our spending programs to those that benefit the general public, not special interests. Most of all, we need to insist on nonpartisan behavior from our elected officials, regardless of party affiliation, to the benefit of all, not just themselves.

Malicious charges against the innocent are everywhere in Iraq BAGHDAD — came to Iraq to find my driver Salam, who has been unjustly imprisoned for the last 16 months.

I found him in a grimy police station jail, a shadow of the ebullient man I knew, with marks of torture on his legs. His suffering reflects the trauma so many Iraqis still endure in a country trying to recover from decades of dictatorship and botched U.S. occupation.

But what makes Salam’s case so scary is that he’s being punished for opposing the sectarian slaughter that nearly drove Iraq over the edge.

Salam is a Shiite whose uncle was hung

by Saddam Hussein, but he couldn’t stand watching innocent Sunnis slaughtered.

He tipped U.S. and Iraqi forces about a family of Shiite Mahdi Army militia who were killing his Sunni neighbors in 2007.

Two members of the militia family were jailed and one went into hiding.

Once U.S. troops left Salam’s neighborhood, the Mahdi Army family took its revenge.

Members of this family used personal connections with senior army and intelligence officers to get Salam arrested. How

I

can it be that relatives of militia killers are free to bring bogus charges and get the innocent jailed?

In fact, the practice of bringing malicious charges — known in Arabic as kaydia — has become so widespread here that Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council has urged judges and prosecutors not to issue warrants unless there is sufficient evidence. The judges aren’t listening.

Every Iraqi to whom I’ve told Salam’s story knew of similar cases of arrests on bogus charges for reasons of revenge or personal vendettas. I’m told it’s possible to rent fake witnesses who wait outside the courthouse. In Salam’s case, the miscarriage of justice reveals a rot that threatens every tenuous advance this country has made in the last couple of years.

I could feel a chill as I approached the Baghdad police station where Salam is being held. Officials were extremely nervous about Salam’s case and didn’t want to let a journalist near him. I waited for 90 minutes in a dark room with a mustachioed intelligence colonel chain-smoking behind a desk. Only calls to Iraqi officials I knew well finally got me permission to meet Salam.

TRUDY RUBIN I was brought to the police chief’s office, where I sat in a line of chairs along one wall and watched as Salam was led toward me. “You cannot write anything,” the police chief told me. Wearing blue sweatpants and a white T-shirt, Salam looked 50 pounds thinner than when I last saw him. Here is the story he told: The initial charges against him, of murder, were brought by a member of the Jaish Mahdi family named Leila Tha’ad, the mother and aunt of the men who were arrested in the U.S. bust. Judge Abdullah al-Alousi acquitted Salam of these charges on Jan. 14, after he had already spent one year in jail.

As he walked out of the prison, two Iraqi army Humvees pulled up; men jumped out and seized him. He was taken first to a notorious prison, and then to an

army base at Muthanna airport, where, he says, Leila Tha’ad has close contacts with senior military and intelligence officials. “They tortured me, they used electric,” he said, showing the burn marks and scabs on his legs. “They did it in other places, too. They accused me of being an American spy.”

So here we have it. An Iraqi who helped U.S. troops catch militia killers — and I spoke at the time to U.S. officers who verified this — is tortured by Iraqis for his efforts. An Iraqi who helped his own military catch sectarian killers — and Salam gave me a list of Iraqi officers who can verify this — is jailed on the word of a Mahdi Army woman.

I asked knowledgeable Iraqi security sources — whom I can’t identify because they fear retribution — whether they thought Salam was innocent and being treated wrongly, and they answered yes.

The story gets worse. Salam was thrown back in jail and now faces a host of new charges — brought by friends of Tha’ad’s family — including a charge of terrorism. Salam’s two sons were also arrested and remain imprisoned; one was badly tortured.

Salam was stoic as he talked, but at one moment his shoulders started shaking.

He handed me a letter he had written in Arabic to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in which he recalled that al-Maliki asked Iraqis to help in the fight against terrorism. “Instead of being rewarded by respect and pride,” he wrote, “some of those who have weak souls and are working in government have thrown me in jail along with my sons. …”

Indeed, al-Maliki built his reputation with his crackdown on radical Shiite militias in Basra. As Iraqi politicians struggle to form a new government six weeks after elections, al-Maliki talks constantly of moving beyond the sectarianism that nearly tore Iraq apart.

Yet so long as Salam and others like him remain imprisoned, such pledges ring hollow. Until he is freed, I intend to keep writing about his case, not only because it’s a travesty of justice, but because it symbolizes everything that needs changing inside Iraq.

O What’s happening with Israel?

C

urrent American relations with our once-staunch ally Israel are at their lowest ebb in the last 50

years.

The Obama administration seems as angry at the building of Jewish apartments in Jerusalem as it is intent on reaching out to Iran and Syria, Israel’s mortal enemies. President Obama himself, according to reports, has serially snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A new narrative abounds in Washington that Israel’s intransigence with its Arab neighbors now even endangers U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East. Obama is pushing Netanyahu’s Likud government to make concessions on several fronts, from supplying power and food to Gaza, to hastened departure from the West Bank.

These tensions follow the Obama administration’s new outreach to the Muslim world. Obama gave his first interview as president to the Middle East newspaper Al Arabiya, in which he politely chided past U.S. policy on the Middle East.

In his June 2009 Cairo address, the president again sought to placate the Islamic world — in part by wrongly claiming that Islamic learning had sparked the European Renaissance and Enlightenment.

Lost in all this reset-button diplomacy is introspection on why past American presidents sought to support Israel in the first place. We seem to forget why

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON no-nonsense Harry Truman, against worldwide opposition, ensured the original creation of the Jewish state — or why more than 60 percent of Americans in most polls continue to side with Israel in its struggle to survive.

In contrast, most of the rest of the world does the math and concludes Israel is a bad investment. It has no oil; its enemies possess nearly half the world’s reserves.

There is no downside in criticizing Israel, but censuring some of its radical Arab neighbors might prompt anything from an oil embargo to a terrorist response.

There are about 7 million Israelis; the Muslim and Arab population in the Middle East numbers in the hundreds of millions.

According to the academic cult of multiculturalism, it is fashionable to see pro-American, democratic and capitalist Israel as a symbol of a pernicious Western culture of oppression; its enemies are seen as underdog liberationists.

No wonder that in the ongoing dispute, most of the world adds up the

pluses and minuses and concludes that it is wiser to side with Israel’s foes than to become its friend. But why, until now, has America always bucked the tide?

The reason is not the so-called “Jewish lobby” here in the U.S., but because a clear majority of non-Jews supported Israel. They saw that in a sea of autocracy, Israel is a democracy and a free and open society, one quite different from its neighbors.

I suspect that when there is a final two-state settlement, Arabs wishing to remain inside Israel will be treated far more humanely as citizens than any Jews who stay on the West Bank and take their chances as residents of the new Palestinian state. We suspect that when Israel pulls back from lands occupied after the 1967 war, there will remain prominent calls in the Arab world to continue the withdrawal — and finish Israel altogether.

Holocaust denial is still a staple in intellectual circles of the Middle East, and serially embraced by the Iranian government.

Fashionable anti-Israeli sentiment is de rigueur in European elite society.

Nearly a third of all country-specific resolutions passed by United Nations Commission on Human Rights have damned Israel — far more than anything directed at the mass-murdering regimes of Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein or the Taliban.

In contrast, America’s traditional bipartisan support for Israel put the world

on notice that the United States would never allow another Holocaust — or the destruction of Israel, or even serial attacks against it.

Yet if we are seen as neutral, just watch the rest of the world get the message and start piling on. Anti-Jewish terrorism will gear up again. Frontline entities like Hezbollah, Syria and Iran will ready their missiles without worry of American anger. Iran will assume we are resigned to its acquisition of the bomb. And the UN will again begin providing cover by issuing its pro forma denunciations of Israel, counting on a newly diffident United States to vote “present.”

Perhaps the Obama administration genuinely believes that by pressuring Israel and reaching out to its enemies, it can at last achieve peace. Perhaps a few key figures in this administration simply do not like or trust the Jewish state — support for which now polls only 48 percent among Democratic voters (versus 85 percent among Republicans).

No matter. This administration should take a deep breath and review history. It would learn that when Israel is alone, its opportunistic enemies pile on. And then war becomes more, not less, likely.

When losing a job runs in the family

By Elaine Gray Special to The Washington Post

O

n Election Day in 2008, my husband, Tom, lost his job as a residential mortgage lender in Woodbridge, Va., a city hit hard by foreclosures. I gave him contact information for a career counselor and advised him to look for jobs in his previous profession, retail management. In March 2009, my daughter, Michelle, called to say she’d lost her executive assistant job at an insurance firm in Orange County, Calif. I sent her a $2,000 “emergency fund” check and told her to find whatever work she could until the economy turned around or move back home. Last summer, a month after graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University, my son, Mike, told us he had been laid off from his job as a graphic artist for a defense contractor.

I advised him to look professional for future job interviews, to dress up and make sure his clothes were pressed.

Little did I know I would be next: On March 30, I was laid off at SmithGroup, an architectural firm where I had been a partner for three years. I had an inkling that I might receive bad news. I was well aware that opportunities to design office buildings had declined substantially. In a conference room, the head of SmithGroup’s Washington, D.C., office told me that I had done a great job and that my layoff was part of a reduction in force. I signed a few papers and we shook hands. I packed my three Rolodexes and said goodbye

to several close friends there.

During the 23 years I’ve been in the commercial real estate industry, I had never been laid off. So this was new territory for me. Previously, I had reached out to several colleagues who’d been laid off from my company, offering them advice on updating résumés and how to interview. Now for the first time, I was the one receiving advice and support from friends and family.

Later that week, I attended a women’s business forum. I entered the ballroom with butterflies in my stomach. How does one gracefully and publicly announce being laid off? How will people react? These questions were foremost in my mind as I filled out a name tag and wrote “Free Agent” under my name.

I saw several people there whom I knew. They all expressed surprise and support. “You’ll go through periods where you feel fine and then you’ll feel down,” said a woman who’d been laid off in November and was now employed. “Just know these cycles will happen.”

Although I’m a naturally positive person, losing one’s job is like being thrown from a horse — one moment you’re moving along and the next you’re down on the ground. I found that being upfront about what happened has lifted me up.

I received so many e-mails of support that I had to open a separate home email account because I was driving my husband crazy. One friend offered her support and suggested companies that may need my skills. Another good

friend critiqued my résumé.

A third friend told me that when she was laid off during the recession in 2001, she didn’t tell anyone, not even her parents. “Looking back, that proved to be a huge mistake,” she said. “Because when you lose your job, you need your network more than ever.”

One thing that surprised me was how my body went into “grief mode” the week I lost my job. I had trouble sleeping, misplaced my keys several times, and my stomach was upset. These are the same symptoms that I experienced after my father passed away before Christmas in 1997, followed by my brother six months later, and then my mother two years ago.

It can be scary, too. I learned that my COBRA bill will be $940 every month to continue medical, vision and dental coverage.

My family has been there for me, too.

Tom, who found a job in February 2009 with a mortgage broker, has been taking my mind off stuff, being romantic.

Michelle, who the same week I was laid off was hired as an executive assistant at a cleaning company in Southern California, has been comforting me. I said, “Can you believe we all have been laid off in our family?” She said, “Losing a job changed every aspect of my life. It feels like a rug pulled out from under you.” She said, “Mom, you know so many people, you’ll find something.

You’ll be fine.”

Mike, who is doing freelance graphic arts work while looking for a full-time job, has redesigned my résumé and business cards, giving them a fresh look.

Later this month, I was scheduled to teach a class in business development and executive skills for the University of Maryland’s real estate program. But I learned the class may not go forward because demand for real estate courses is down. This is a shame — I was looking forward to meeting my students and sharing what I’ve learned from this experience.

In the meantime, I’m hoping that I won’t end up having to take the survivor job — the one you take only because you have to pay bills. I’m hoping that the job hunting gods will guide me to a company where I can make a difference and feel fulfilled. Until then, I’ll keep networking and going to industry events. These activities have already led me to a couple of interviews.

Goldman’s non-scandal is the least of our worries

By Sebastian Mallaby Special to The Washington Post

L

et’s stipulate that there’s a problem with the power of Goldman Sachs. The firm takes vast risks and earns vast profits; then, when it gets into trouble, as it did after the Lehman Brothers failure, it turns to the government for a bailout. But the case the Securities and Exchange Commission has brought against Goldman also involves a problem. Unless the SEC is sitting on more evidence than it has laid out so far, the charge sheet looks flimsy.

If Goldman has become a poster child for excessive power on Wall Street, the SEC might become a poster child for government power run amok.

The SEC’s 22-page complaint states that Goldman sold fancy mortgage securities without disclosing that a hedge fund manager, John Paulson, was betting that those same securities would go bad. This is a non-scandal. The securities in question, so-called synthetic collateralized debt obligations, cannot exist unless somebody is betting that they will lose value. The firms that bought Goldman’s securities knew perfectly well that some other investor must be taking the opposite position. It was their job to evaluate the Goldman offer and make up their own minds.

One of the big losers in the deal was IKB, a German bank with a big business in mortgages. We’re not talking mom and pop.

Perhaps the SEC is suggesting that Paulson’s involvement changes this logic, because the hedge fund manager is famous for making billions from his mortgage bets? There’s a superficial case here: Even if investors don’t mind that somebody else is on the other side of the trade, maybe they wouldn’t want to bet against a superstar. But at the time of the deal, Paulson was a low-profile player whose name would not have set off alarm bells. And intermediaries like Goldman are not supposed to blab about the identities of their clients.

Next, the SEC complains that Paulson had a hand in designing the securities, maximizing the chances that they would blow up. He did the equivalent of building a timber house with a large fireplace and a blocked chimney, then buying fire insurance on the structure.

Shocking though this may sound, it is another non-scandal. An investor who wants to bet against a bundle of mortgages is entitled to suggest what should go into the bundle. The buyer is equally entitled to make counter-suggestions.

As the SEC’s complaint states clearly, the lead buyer in this deal, a boutique called ACA that specialized in mortgage securities, did precisely that.

Finally, the SEC asserts that Goldman, and specifically its young mortgage whiz, Fabrice “Fab” Tourre, tricked ACA into believing that Paulson meant to bet on the mortgages’ soundness, not the other way around.

Much is wrong on Wall Street, and Congress should pass some version of the regulatory package that is bottled up in the Senate. But the premise for more regulation is that the regulators will behave responsibly.

This is the nub of the case, and if there’s proof that Goldman or Tourre was dishonest, the SEC could yet emerge with its reputation intact. But none of the e-mail fragments quoted in the complaint comes close to being a smoking gun.

What the complaint does show is that ACA believed Paulson was a buyer, not a seller; and the really intriguing mystery is how ACA could have been so dumb. As the deal was taking shape, ACA and Paulson met repeatedly. If ACA had any doubt as to Paulson’s intentions, surely it could have asked him a straight question rather than relying on alleged hints from Goldman. Throughout the negotiations, Paulson kept proposing notoriously low-quality mortgages for the bundle and vetoing high-quality ones.

It should have been obvious to ACA that he meant to bet that they would go down.

The worst that can be said on the basis of the available evidence is that Goldman knew ACA was being stupid and failed to point this out. That falls far short of the offenses that the SEC alleges, which might be why two of the SEC’s five commissioners refused to vote for the action against Goldman — a rare split in an enforcement case.

And yet, rather than treat the SEC’s adventure with due caution, politicians and regulators are jumping on the bandwagon. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who just happens to be fighting an election campaign, has pushed British regulators to pile on to the SEC case. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who could use some market scapegoats to distract from the euro zone’s debt crisis, is threatening to follow suit. Congressional investigators are planning to grill Goldman officials for the umpteenth time.

Much is wrong on Wall Street, and Congress should pass some version of the regulatory package that is bottled up in the Senate. But the premise for more regulation is that the regulators will behave responsibly. Let’s hope the SEC remembers that.

Everybody just loves a winner

I

’ve been thinking about President Barack Obama’s foreign policy lately, but first, a golf tip: I went to Dave Pelz’s famous short-game school this winter to improve my putting and chipping, and a funny thing happened — my long game got better. It brings to mind something that happened to Obama. The president got health care reform passed, and it may turn out to be his single most important foreign policy achievement.

In politics and diplomacy, success breeds authority and authority breeds more success. No one ever said it better than Osama bin Laden: “When people see a strong horse and a weak horse, by nature they will like the strong horse.”

Have no illusions, the rest of the world was watching our health care debate very closely, waiting to see who would be the strong horse — Obama or his Democratic and Republican health care opponents?

At every turn in the debate, America’s enemies and rivals were gauging what the outcome might mean for their own ability to push around an untested U.S. president.

It remains to be seen whether, in the long run, America will be made physically healthier by the bill’s passage. But, in the short run, Obama definitely was made geopolitically healthier.

“When others see the president as a winner or as somebody who has real authority in his own house, it absolutely makes a difference,” Defense Secretary Robert Gates said to me in an interview.

“All you have to do is look at how many minority or weak coalition governments there are around the world who can’t deliver something big in their own country, but basically just teeter on the edge, because they can’t put together the votes to do anything consequential, because of the divided electorate.” President Obama’s had “a divided electorate and was still able to muscle the thing through.”

When President Dmitri Medvedev of Russia spoke by phone with Obama the morning after the health care vote — to finalize the New Start nuclear arms reduction treaty — he began by saying that before discussing nukes, “I want to congratulate you, Mr. President, on the health care vote,” an administration official said. That was not just rank flattery.

According to an American negotiator, all throughout the arms talks, which paralleled the health care debate, the Russians kept asking: “Can you actually get this ratified by the Senate” if an arms deal is cut? Winning passage of the health care bill demonstrated to the Russians that Obama could get something hard passed.

Our enemies surely noticed, too. You don’t have to be Machiavelli to believe that the leaders of Iran and Venezuela shared the barely disguised Republican hope that health care would fail and, therefore, Obama’s whole political agenda would be stalled and, therefore, his presidency enfeebled. America would then be a lame power.

Given the time and energy and political capital that was spent on health care, “failure would have been unilateral disarmament,” added Gates. “Failure would have badly weakened the president in terms of dealing with others — his ability to do various kinds of national security things. … You know, people made fun of Madeleine Albright for saying it, but I think she was dead on: Most of the rest of the world does see us as the ‘indispensable nation.’”

Gen. James Jones, the president’s national security adviser, told me that he recently met with a key NATO counterpart, who concluded a breakfast by congratulating him on the health care vote and pronouncing: “America is back.”

But is it? While Obama’s health care victory prevented a power outage for him, it does not guarantee a power surge. Ultimately, what makes a strong president is a strong country — a country whose underlying economic prowess, balance sheet and innovative capacity enable it to generate and project both military power and what the political scientist Joe Nye calls “soft power” — being an example that others want to emulate.

Obama’s success in passing health care and the bounce it has put in his step will be nothing but a sugar high if we can’t get our deficit under control, inspire a new generation of startups, upgrade our railroads and Internet and continue to attract the world’s smartest and most energetic immigrants.

An effective, self-confident president with a weak country is nothing more than a bluffer. An effective, self-confident president, though, at least increases the odds of us building a stronger country.

A president’s reading list can speak volumes about his governing style

By Tevi Troy Special to The Washington Post

7. “Hero at Large” by Janet Evanovich (Harper)

As the battle over health care reform crescendoed last month, President Barack Obama let slip that he was still making time for some side reading. “We’ve been talking about health care for nearly a century,” the president told a crowd at Arcadia University in Pennsylvania. “I’m reading a biography of Teddy Roosevelt right now. He was talking about it.”

One of the reasons the country’s intellectual class has taken so gleefully to Obama is precisely that, in addition to writing best-sellers, the man is clearly a dedicated reader. During his presidential campaign, he was photographed toting around Fareed Zakaria’s “The Post-American World,” the it-book of the foreign policy establishment at the time. A year ago, in an interview about economic policy, he told a reporter that he was reading Joseph O’Neill’s post-Sept. 11 novel “Netherland,” which had recently won the 2009 PEN/Faulkner Award.

In a historical sense, Obama follows a long line of ardent presidential readers, paging all the way back to the founders. John Adams’ library had more than 3,000 volumes — including Cicero, Plutarch and Thucydides — heavily inscribed with the president’s marginalia. Thomas Jefferson’s massive book collection launched him into debt and later became the backbone for the Library of Congress. “I cannot live without books,” he confessed to Adams. And it’s likely that no president will ever match the Rough Rider himself, who charged through multiple books in a single day and wrote more than a dozen well-regarded works, on topics ranging from the War of 1812 to the American West.

Obama’s mention of the Roosevelt biography — it turned out to be Edmund Morris’ “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt” — may have been a calculated move to convey Teddy-esque toughness and a reform-minded spirit, but it also made clear an interesting notion: Reading lists don’t only give presidents a break from the tedium of briefing documents; they can also inform their politics and policies, reaffirming, creating or shifting their views. White House watchers obsess over which aides have the ear of the president, but the books presidents read also offer insight on where they want to take the country — and how history will remember them.

Consider Harry Truman. He was the last American president not to have completed college, but he was a voracious reader and particularly interested in history and biography, once musing that “the only thing new in this world is the history that you don’t know.”

Truman’s support for establishing the country of Israel — over the objections of his own State Department — has been credited to his boyhood reading, both of the Bible (which he read at least a dozen times) and of the multivolume history “Great Men and Famous Women,” edited by Charles F. Horne. The collection featured Cyrus the Great, the Persian king who let the Jews return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple. Shortly after leaving the White House, Truman was introduced to a group of Jewish leaders as having “helped create” the state of Israel. “What do you mean ‘helped create?’” Truman bristled. “I am Cyrus.”

Books played an especially significant role in the John F. Kennedy White House. Kennedy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Profiles in Courage” — possibly ghostwritten by speechwriter Ted Sorensen — had helped cement his reputation as a big thinker.

But it was a book review, rather than a book itself, that helped launch one of the major policy initiatives of the 1960s. Walter Heller, chairman of Kennedy’s Council of Economic Advisers, gave his boss Dwight MacDonald’s influential 13,000-word New Yorker essay on Michael

Harrington’s “The Other America,” which chronicled poverty in the nation. Inspired by the piece, Kennedy asked his staff to look into the problem. They came up with a plan for an “attack on poverty,” which Heller discussed with the president a few days before Kennedy’s fateful trip to Dallas in November 1963.

His successor, Lyndon Johnson — who was influenced

by British economist Barbara Ward’s “The Rich Nations and the Poor Nations,” which he said he read multiple times — turned the attack into a War on Poverty.

Future editions of Harrington’s book had “the book that sparked the War on Poverty” on the cover, but the New Yorker deserves at least some of the credit.

Nixon, Carter, Reagan Richard Nixon — who in his memoirs noted that he read Tolstoy extensively in his youth, even calling himself a “Tolstoyan” — often sought out books with links to the big issues of the day.

After a summit with the Soviets, for instance, he bought a copy of Winston Churchill’s “Triumph and Tragedy” so he could reread Churchill’s recollections of the Yalta conference. And leading into his second term, Nixon was reading Robert Blake’s biography of British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli and was struck

by Disraeli’s description of William Gladstone’s cabinet as “exhausted volcanoes.” The phrase inspired him to call for the resignation of his own White House staff and Cabinet, a move he later described as a mistake.

In his farewell speech to his staff on Aug. 9, 1974, Nixon offered a self-deprecating line: “I am not educated, but I do read books.”

Presidential reading backfired on Jimmy Carter as well. In the summer of 1979, with the economy struggling and the presidency shaken by the Iran hostage crisis, Carter delivered his infamous speech proclaiming a “crisis of confidence” in America. It became known as the “malaise” speech and is widely regarded as a major political mistake. The address, written mainly by adviser Pat Caddell, was inspired

by Christopher Lasch’s best-selling book “The Culture of Narcissism.” Lasch had come to the White House for a dinner about six weeks before the address, and his ideas apparently stayed be-

hind. Two days after the July 15 speech, Carter fired several Cabinet members, adding to the sense of drift that seemed to define the era.

It is unclear whether Carter read Lasch’s book, but he was a prolific reader. In February 1977, he took a speed-reading class with his 9-year-old daughter, Amy. This skill helped him read a reported two books a week as president and three to four books weekly in his post-presidency. He has also written 24 books, a record for former presidents.

Despite having been dubbed an “amiable dunce” by longtime White House adviser Clark Gifford, Ronald Reagan loved books, including (again) Morris’ works on Theodore Roosevelt. So much so, in fact, that Reagan selected Morris as his official biographer, resulting in the odd, semi-fictional portrayal in “Dutch,” published in 1999. The New Yorker’s Larissa MacFarquhar has written that Gilder’s book was one of Reagan’s favorites and that Gilder was “the living author Reagan most often quoted.”

Clinton and Bush Bill Clinton read widely and often — his favorite authors included Maya Angelou, Ralph Ellison and Taylor Branch — and was well aware that presidential reading merited attention in the media and in intellectual circles.

As a result, he took steps to flatter intellectuals by touting their books. Clinton once placed Yale law professor Stephen Carter’s “The Culture of Disbelief” on his Oval Office desk so that reporters would see what he was reading, and they dutifully reported it. Carter was one of a select few who recommended books to Clinton, as did Labor Secretary Robert Reich, Vice President Al Gore and Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott. Clinton also devoured mysteries, calling them a “little cheap-thrills outlet.”

Clinton’s reading affected his approach in the early 1990s to the crisis in the Balkans, a fierce and bloody struggle for control of Bosnian territory that had once been part of Yugoslavia. At the time, the president read Robert Kaplan’s “Balkan Ghosts” and was struck by Kaplan’s description of the region’s long-standing ethnic hatreds.

The book apparently set him against intervening in Bosnia. A panicky defense secretary, Les Aspin, told national security adviser Anthony Lake that Clinton was “not on board” with their proposals.

reader in his home behind librarian Laura Bush, was a dedicated reader who liked to count the titles he conquered. During his second term, an offhand comment by adviser Karl Rove led to annual competitions to see which of the two would tally the most books. And even though the books Bush and Rove consumed were usually quite meaty — mainly histories (“A History of the English Speaking Peoples Since 1900”), cultural works (“Nine Parts of Desire”) and biographies (the titanic “Mao”) — when the competition became public, derision followed.

“The caricature of Bush as unread died today — or was it yesterday? But the reality of the intellectually insulated man endures,” wrote Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen.

And the revelation that Bush had read Albert Camus’ “The Stranger” elicited howls from the news media. “George Bush reading a French Existentialist is like Obama reading a Cabela’s catalog,” sniffed Slate’s John Dickerson. Bush was well aware of this contempt, once telling a

White House colleague of mine that he was enjoying Juan Williams’ book “Enough,” on the plight of black America, but preferred to keep it quiet so as to not spoil the book’s potential impact on policy debates.

Sneers aside, Bush’s reading certainly informed his worldview and policies. New York Times book critic Michiko Kakutani observed that Bush “favored prescriptive books” such as Natan Sharansky’s “The Case for Democracy” and Eliot A. Cohen’s “Supreme Command,” which argued that politicians should drive military strategy. Bush often met with the authors of books that resonated with him. Shortly after his re-election, he had Sharansky in for an hour-long Oval Office meeting to discuss democracy and ways to advance it around the world. Inspired in part by the author, the president went on to outline a global freedom agenda in his second inaugural address. “Not only did he read it, he felt it,” Sharansky told The Washington Post.

Obama And then came Obama. As a writer, his autobiography helped launch him from relative obscurity to national prominence. As a reader, he made Doris Kearns Goodwin’s “Team of Rivals,” about Lincoln’s Cabinet, into a media-friendly metaphor for his transition to the White House, especially when he selected Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary of state.

Early on, Obama also cultivated the analogy to Franklin Roosevelt’s first 100 days — a period regarded as the quintessential government mobilization in the face of an economic crisis. In his first post-election interview, on “60 Minutes,” Obama noted that he had read “a new book out about FDR’s first 100 days.” (A spokesman later clarified that the president-elect was referring to two books: Jonathan Alter’s “The Defining Moment: FDR’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope,” and “FDR” by Jean Edward Smith.) The move worked: Media comparisons to Roosevelt’s first 100 days proliferated.

Obama, like Kennedy and Clinton before him, seems keenly aware of the power of books to shape public perceptions. The world may not be reading, but it is watching — if a book can send a signal you want to convey, casually mentioning it in an interview can be more effective than delivering yet another policy speech.

Other heads of state have also recognized the power of a book in the American president’s hands. At a summit of Western Hemisphere nations a year ago, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela ambushed Obama with a copy of “The Open Veins of Latin America” by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, a left-wing tract decrying centuries of European and American exploitation and political domination of the region. Obama still held out hope that his own writing could turn the guy around. “I thought it was one of Chávez’s books,” the president later quipped. “I was going to give him one of mine.”

And if another presidential book exchange can’t be arranged, “Los Sueños de Mi Padre” is available on Amazon for $11.56.

Tevi Troy is a visiting senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a former senior aide to President George W. Bush. He is the author of “Intellectuals and the American Presidency: Philosophers, Jesters or Technicians?”

Authors comment on the presidents G etting your book into the hands of the commander in chief can mean influence, prestige and a higher Amazon ranking. Still, authors’ reactions range from modesty to condescension: “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt” by Edmund Morris Reader: Barack Obama “‘I’m reading a biography of Teddy Roosevelt right now,’ Obama said yesterday in Pennsylvania,” Morris recounted in the Daily Beast last month. “… Well, that’s nice, but the president can’t have gotten very far into it, because right there in the prologue it says how TR detested being called ‘Teddy.’”

“The Other America”

by Michael Harrington Reader: John F. Kennedy “The luck was that the book came out at a time when there was a president of the United States who read books, John Kennedy, and he read it,” Harrington said in a 1987 interview. “It led him to decide to make poverty an issue in the 1964 campaign. He was killed before he could do it, but that set in motion the process that led Lyndon Johnson to declare war on poverty.”

“Wealth and Poverty”

by George Gilder Reader: Ronald Reagan “President Reagan went around during the campaign proudly declaring that he increased benefits to the truly needy by 42 percent while he was governor of California,” Gilder told U.S. News & World Report in 1981. “But the California system is worse than any other in the country because it indexed benefits to inflation. In exchange, getting into the system was made harder.

That has turned out to be a catastrophe.”

“Balkan Ghosts”

by Robert Kaplan Reader: Bill Clinton “When I was reporting ‘Balkan Ghosts’ in the 1980s. the Balkans were like Ethiopia, an obscure country,” Kaplan told Salon in 2001. “The idea that any policymaker would read it, I didn’t even consider. I saw it purely as an entertaining journalistic travel book about my experiences in the 1980s.”

Vampire tourism Author tracked down sites linked to Dracula and Vlad the Impaler

By Allen Pierleoni McClatchy-Tribune News Service

It’s been vampires 24/7 for quite a while — in books (“The Historian” by Elizabeth Kostova, the “Twilight” series by Stephenie Meyer), in theaters (“Queen of the Damned,” “The Vampire’s Assistant”) and on TV (“True Blood,” “The Vampire Diaries”).

Those are all fiction, of course.

But consider “In the Footsteps of Dracula: A Personal Journey and Travel Guide” by Steven P. Unger (World Audience, $20, 258 pgs.; with 185 black-and-white photos).

After visiting a parish church cemetery in Whitby, England — a key setting in Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” — Unger says he became obsessed with “traveling to every site in England and Romania related to either the fictional Count Dracula or his real historical counterpart, Prince Vlad the Impaler.”

The journey took the retired state worker a month.

To buy the book or read reviews and interviews with Unger, go to http://worldaudience .powweb.com/pubs_bks/Dracula .html.

I caught up with Unger last week.

Q. A.

Why are people worldwide still fascinated by the Dracula mythology?

(He’s) a seduction, still.

Dracula is immortal and seduced his female victims and drank their blood, and that has a sexual element connected to it. He was horrible-looking in the original novel, but (in recent decades) he has been roman-

ticized in movies and is very attractive.

Q.

There’s general agreement that Stoker partly modeled Count Dracula after the infamous Prince Vlad of Wallachia.

There are a lot of legends about Vlad the Impaler, who is still seen as a hero in Romania because he fought off the Turks. The (citizenry) overlooked the fact that most of his victims were fellow Romanians.

A. Q.

“Footsteps” is a real travel book with an itinerary, maps, lodging recommendations and the like.

Getting around was very difficult because Romania is so decentralized and there are no tourist offices. I had to go into a town and ask how to get to the next town and the one after that. They would say, “Take a train and then ask when you get there.” All the (logistical) information I got from asking (and doing) is in the book.

A.

Q. A.

What was the biggest surprise?

When I went to the ruins of the Poenari Fortress in Romania, which Bram Stoker never knew about. It was almost stone for stone the way Stoker described Dracula’s Castle on top of the Borgo Pass in Transylvania. Yet the Poenari Fortress belonged to Vlad the Impaler and was in a completely different place than (the fictitious) Dracula’s Castle. Now there’s the (real) Hotel Castle Dracula in the spot where Dracula’s Castle was (situated) in the novel.

Scarred characters find hope in ‘Alone With You’ “Alone With You”

by Marisa Silver (Simon & Schuster, 164 pgs., $22)

B y C onnie Ogle McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Contradiction is everywhere in Marisa Silver’s latest collection of short stories — just as it is in life. We crave; we hate. We need; we reject. We want everything, except when we want nothing. If, as one character suggests, “Everything is a test,” then we probably fail most of the time, based on our ridiculous fickleness.

But sometimes, Silver makes clear with devastating simplicity, that tendency to change course works to our advantage.

Foundations crumble and leave us as unsteady as the house sliding slowly down a cliff in “In the New World.” If we can adapt, forge new ground on which to

stand, we survive.

Author of the novels “The God of War” and “No Direction Home” and the story collection “Babe in Paradise,” Silver understands this truth and passes it along to her characters with grace and insight as they grapple with change, revelation and the complexities of modern life. These are clear-eyed, unsentimental stories that resound with resilience. The young woman who sleeps with her roommate’s boyfriend (“Just for now”) in “Temporary” wonders if she can care and not care about him at the same moment.

(She can.)

In “Pond,” Julia, mother of a developmentally disabled daugh-

ter, knows “that whatever love was, it was also the opposite.”

These stories are portraits of everyday sorrows, but Silver keeps hope alive, even when it’s on life support.

Her characters often feel powerless, then discover what they can do. Helen in “Night Train to Frankfurt,” who “no longer really had a boyfriend, only a set of misgivings and recriminations decorated as a handsome enough, smart enough, bearded, bespectacled man ...,” can’t get past her lover’s affair, but she can provide a heroic confidence to guide her dying mother.

Sheila in “Leap,” who has undergone bypass surgery at 37,

has “grown wary. Assumptions that the earth would be there to meet the foot when she put it down, or that her body would remain upright without her expressly willing it to were no longer certain.” But she eventually recognizes the painful truth about her marriage.

Oh, yes: Knowledge can be wrenching. Young Connie in “Three Girls,” embarrassed by her drunken mother, watches her older sister’s reaction and understands that “when Jean left the family, she would leave Connie, too, because Connie would remind her of things she didn’t want to remember.”

But like the Polish immigrant builder in “In the New World,” all these bent-not-broken people fumble toward happiness, laying steps for a new foundation.

Volcano Continued from F1 Scientists rely primarily on past performance to predict future activity for any given location. The Iceland volcano initially produced little ash, but a new vent opened beneath a glacier and the situation turned explosive. What precisely happened is still being researched, but it appears that meltwater and magma produced steam quite suddenly and the volcano popped its top like a shaken soda bottle.

No one knows how much material will be ejected, or how high into the atmosphere it will travel. Scientists with computer models were frantically trying to track plumes of ash that became widely and chaotically dispersed even as new plumes shoot from the volcano.

One National Weather Service scientist, Gary Hufford, told reporters in a conference call Tuesday that it can be difficult to tell with satellite imagery how much ash is in the air and whether the airspace is safe for jetliners.

“The volcanic ash science still has many limitations,” he said.

The lengthy shutdown of many European airports surprised travelers and scientists.

“It is kind of amazing. I imagined this in a big eruption. I didn’t imagine it in a small eruption,” said John Eichelberger, head of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Volcano Hazards Program, who was stranded in Paris, where he had attended a meeting on volcanoes.

On Tuesday, the British Civil Aviation Authority revised its position to say that commercial jets could fly through areas that have low levels of ash. One top travel lobbyist said he suspected that officials had overreacted.

“Are we all certain that we’re using the best scientific evidence? Are we aware of the economic impact of these decisions?” said Geoff Freeman, senior vice president of the U.S. Travel Association.

Air travel is particularly vulnerable to these geological events because the shortest international routes in the Northern Hemisphere take planes near Iceland, which seethes with volcanoes, and the many cauldrons that line the Pacific “Ring of Fire.” The booming economies of Asia are also putting more planes over volcanoes in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.

“Volcanic risk is actually rising, not because we’re not doing our jobs, but because people are putting themselves nearer volcanoes, particularly with air travel,” said Marianne Guffanti, a geologist with the USGS. Said volcanologist Michael Rampino of New York University: “We live under the constant threat of some geological hazard.

The more we all become technologically dependent upon others in other parts of the world, the more the problem shows up.”

Chris Waythomas, a USGS volcanologist based in Alaska, said it is easy to detect when a volcano is active but much harder to know what it will ultimately do, how long an eruption will

By Oline H. Cogdill (Fla.) Sun Sentinel

Andrew Gross’s “Reckless” delivers a pulsating thriller that turns on international conspiracies, financial sleight of hand and believable characters. While thrillers wrapped around the economic crisis and stock-market meltdowns are becoming more common, Gross makes “Reckless” a fresh and original take on the financial thriller.

Although Gross allows too many cliches to enter his story, such as “wet behind the ears,” he overrides this flaw with an energetic story complemented by mega-action. Gross, who lives part-time in Palm Beach, is proving himself to be among the top thriller writers.

“Reckless” brings back former Connecticut police detective Ty Hauck, who is now a partner in a high-profile security company.

The private sector has brought Ty wealth and status, but he is still, at heart, a cop and a dogged detective, especially when a crime hits close to home.

Ty is willing to risk his cushy job to help investigate why equi-

An aerial photo shows a plume of ash rising from the volcano in southern Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull glacier April 19. Scientists say because this volcano is located below a glacial ice cap, magma is being cooled quickly, causing explosions and plumes of grit that can be catastrophic to plane engines, depending on prevailing winds.

“There are surprises. Mount St. Helens, 1980: No one expected a major flank collapse to occur,” Waythomas said. That collapse depressurized the magma chamber below and caused the mountain to explode laterally.

The United States has 169 volcanoes, most of them in Alaska, the Aleutian Islands and in territories in the Pacific Ocean. Geologists warn that scenic Mount Rainier, near Seattle, is one of the most hazardous.

One of the planet’s largest volcanoes is the huge caldera that feeds the hot springs and geysers of Yellowstone. Although it has been restless in recent months with hundreds of small earthquakes, there is no sign of the kind of dramatic doming of the ground that would indicate a major surge of magma and a potential eruption. The caldera last had a full-blown, catastrophic explosion about 640,000 years ago. The last significant eruption, known as the Pitchstone Plateau lava flow, took place 70,000 years ago. Jacob Lowenstern, the scientist in charge at the USGS Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, said tourists shouldn’t stay away for fear of what’s happening below.

Volcanoes can be mass killers.

When other stockbrokers die in strange circumstances, Ty follows a money trail that leads to an illusory financier, a money trail and an unusual cover-up.

While Ty trusts his instincts, the only person who seems to agree with him is Treasury agent Naomi Blum.

“Reckless” rips through conspiracy after conspiracy and manages to make the financial juggernaut understandable. While mega-action moves “Reckless” at breakneck speed, Gross doesn’t forget to realistically shape his characters. Ty is a man of action, but he also is a family man devoted to his daughter.

While way too much is made of Naomi’s model-like looks, she doesn’t shrink under pressure.

Gross makes Ty and Naomi equals, which adds to their chemistry and the exciting plot.

Gross became a best-selling author as one of James Patterson’s co-authors with six novels, including “The Women’s Murder Club” series. Gross’ fourth solo thriller, “Reckless” proves his work stands by itself.

Vesuvius, the volcano that buried the Roman city of Pompeii, is widely viewed as another disaster waiting to happen. It erupts about every 400 years and hasn’t had a large eruption since 1641, Rampino said. Hundreds of thousands of people live beneath it and could be hit with what are known as pyroclastic flows — extremely fast-moving, dense clouds of hot ash and rock that flow down the mountain.

“They’d have 15 minutes’ warning,” Rampino said. “It would destroy everything in its path. It’s like an ash hurricane that’s 800 degrees Celsius.”

Making ‘green’ your policy if disaster strikes your home

By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

25% of nonprofits lose tax breaks soon As many as 400,000 nonprofit organizations are weeks away from a doomsday.

At midnight on May 15, an estimated one-quarter of some 1.6 million charities, trade associations and membership groups will lose their tax exemptions, thanks to a provision buried in a 2006 federal bill aimed at pension reform.

The 2006 federal legislation required all nonprofits to file tax forms the following year.

Previously, only organizations with revenues of $25,000 or more — or the vast majority of nonprofit groups — had to file.

The law, embedded in the 393 pages of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, also directed the Internal Revenue Service to revoke the tax exemptions of groups that failed to file for three consecutive years.

Three years have passed, and thus the deadline looms.

The IRS would rather not revoke exemptions; it has made a Herculean effort to let organizations at risk know it. For example, in 2007, it sent 665,000 letters to nonprofit groups that fell below the $25,000 threshold and those above that level that had not filed.

It seems everything is washed green these days, from hybrid cars and compost bins to organic detergents and reusable grocery bags.

Even insurance companies are getting in on the act.

Eight insurance companies in Oregon now offer so-called “green insurance” policies for homeowners and commercial property owners. That’s up from 2007, when five insurance companies offered such policies, according to the state.

“Green insurance” is usually purchased as an endorsement, or added

Some tips from the state, Page G5 coverage, for an existing homeowners policy. It requires an insurance company to use green building materials and techniques when reconstructing a home that has been lost to fire or some other disaster.

The policies’ benefits vary, as some might also require that the insurance company ensure that a builder recycles as much as possible from the old home and only installs the newest, most energy-efficient appliances.

According to the state, there are 180 companies that offer homeowners insurance in Oregon, and the number of companies offering green insurance is growing.

“More and more (insurance) companies are making it available,” said Cheryl Martinis, spokeswoman for the state’s Insurance Division.

Analysts’ advice for Goldman: Cut losses

The average rates on 30year mortgages remained above 5 percent last week.

Freddie Mac reported Thursday the average rate for 30year fixed-rate mortgages was 5.07, the same as the previous week. A year ago, Freddie said, the 30-year fixed rate averaged 4.80 percent.

Rates had dropped to a record low of 4.71 percent in December, pushed down by a campaign by the Federal Reserve to reduce borrowing costs for consumers. The program ended at the close of March, but the Fed left the door open to reviving the it if the economy weakens.

nce trail-running enthusiast Andrea Perkins visited Bend, she knew she had found her new home.

A former vice president for the international reinsurance firm Swiss Re, Perkins also knew she would need employment in Oregon. So she bought Felix Katnip Tree Co., a company that makes cat-scratching posts, and moved it from Seattle — where it had been located for 70 years — to an industrial park in northeast Bend.

“This just had everything … I was looking for,” she said, referring to Bend and her move. “Outdoor-wise, I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Perkins, 36, joined a decades-long migration to Oregon that has continued even through many economic downturns.

Over the last 50 years, the number of people moving to Oregon has outpaced the number moving out in all but three years: 1982, 1983 and 1986, a period during one of the worst recessions in state history.

The migration to Oregon has continued at varying levels through lesser economic downturns since 1960, at least from a statewide perspective, according to figures from the Population Research Center at Portland State University. Migration to Central Oregon, however, has slowed, and recent estimates suggest more people may be leaving Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties than are moving in.

Moving in, moving out Census population estimates show a continuous influx of people moving to Crook and Deschutes counties between 2000 and 2008.

Goldman Sachs may be better off giving in instead of fighting what it terms “unfounded” fraud claims, say analysts and professors of securities law who have examined the Securities and Exchange Commission’s lawsuit against the bank.

The most profitable firm in Wall Street history will probably lose the first hurdle in court, a motion to throw out the suit because it lacks legal merit, the experts said in recent interviews. After that, Goldman Sachs’ risks will mount and its negotiating position will weaken. Goldman is the first major firm accused of fraud connected to the collapse of the subprime mortgage market.

“There’s a very low probability that Goldman could get the case dismissed,” said Thomas Hazen of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill whose books include a two volumes on broker-dealer law.

In the past 18 months, international sales at Orb Audio, which brings in more than $5 million annually, have risen to 35 percent of total sales from 10 percent — offsetting a 10 percent domestic slump in 2009. Sales include for-

eign orders from as far away as Zimbabwe, Nigeria and — three times in the last six months — Easter Island.

For many small companies, Siegel’s experience is one to be emulated. During his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama announced the National Export Initiative, a program aimed at doubling American exports in five years.

Female executives join to help each other

I

t’s no secret that men and women often see things differently, which affects how they communicate, see challenges and solve problems.

That can be an issue in business, which is a big reason a group of female executives in January formed a women-only group in Bend to tap each other for advice and try to make their businesses better.

Anything that stands to make businesses better stands to benefit Bend.

The group wanted to do something beyond networking, to share strategic issues women in positions of authority routinely face, said Sarah Laufer, a founder of the women’s group and CEO and founder of PlayOutdoors.com, a children’s outdoor apparel and gear retailer.

“It’s nothing against men,” she said, acknowledging terrific male mentors in her past work as a lawyer. “We feel that it was just really a great opportunity to address some of the issues that we were having as women in business in a different way. It’s just another way to look at a problem.”

And it’s been a big help, said Laufer, adding that trust among group members establishes a foundation that allows frank, honest discussions that are hugely beneficial. It’s like having an advisory board on myriad issues like employment, marketing, finance and more, she said.

Members sign confidentiality agreements to ensure privacy of discussions.

Members help each other come up with action plans and are held accountable at future meetings when members ask how the plan worked, said Susie Stevens, executive director of Opportunity Knocks, or OK, which established the group’s structure. The women’s group operates through the Bend nonprofit, with Stevens ensuring that members’ businesses don’t conflict with others in the group.

The group has 10 women now but has room for two more. With enough interest, another women’s team could be added.

The group also has two professional cofacilitators — Connie Worrell-Druliner, CEO/owner of Express Employment Professionals, and Chris Schroeder-Fain, vice president-wealth management at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney — who run the monthly three-hour meetings, keeping them on time, setting the agendas and keeping members on point. The facilitators’ job is to ensure the women are getting something out of the meeting, said Schroeder-Fain, adding that the feedback she’s gotten is, “Thank goodness for this group.”

The group functions similar to 25 other groups administered and managed by OK, but it is the only one limited to women, all of whom are in a CEO or leadership position. It’s referred to as the “Women’s CEO Team,” or “OK 24 Team.”

Other OK teams include some specializing in manufacturing, human resources, software and office administration.

Stevens thought Laufer’s concept for an all-women team — essentially another specialized team — was brilliant.

“I think women in business that lead organizations and companies sometimes have their own set of challenges that are different from men,” Stevens said. “I think women have a way of perhaps being a bit more compassionate and supportive to each other. No offense to men, but I think they’re more cut and dry in their approaches to problem-solving.”

The goal for all teams is to help members solve business problems, she said.

Typically, the team agenda is preset for the next meeting, giving members time to consider how they would address a teammate’s problem or present their own issues. Meetings are limited to two or three businesses’ issues to allow ample time for review. Schroeder-Fain said members start the year with three critical issues they want to address. There’s also time each month to review urgent matters.

Team members typically will ask for feedback, advice and resource ideas, then leave with a list of action items, Stevens said. The following month, the members report what action they took and why.

Accountability is a key benefit team members cite, Stevens said.

OK focuses on helping businesses with 100 or fewer employees. OK membership is required to join a team. The annual fee is $300 for a company of one to five people, $600 for six or more. For more information about the women’s team or other OK teams, call Stevens at 541-318-4650.

Farmers seek better prices in the face of a wheat glut

By Dan Voorhis McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WICHITA, Kan. — This year might not be a good one for wheat-farm incomes. A global glut in wheat has driven down prices significantly from their heyday in 2008.

Australia and Russia have seen their harvests rise by a third in the past two years, creating the biggest worldwide glut of wheat since 2002. The wheat supply is at a 22-year high in the U.S. Analysts recently surveyed

by Bloomberg expect an 8.6 percent price drop by July.

That is echoed by local market advisers.

It takes about a year for the market to work through a surplus, said Chad Hart, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University.

Lower prices, greater supply from foreign competitors and lower acreage at home likely will mean lower incomes.

Wheat is the best crop for some areas, said Scott Van Allen, a farmer in northern Sumner County, Kan. That leaves many farmers with fewer choices when prices drop.

“You plant wheat and hope for the best,” said Van Allen, who has planted 2,500 acres of his 2,800 acres in wheat.

But — and there’s always a “but” in agriculture —farmers have a range of options to reduce the impact of the price fluctuations.

They might sell all or part of the crop in advance. But since the price of wheat isn’t above the level of government price supports, there’s little incentive at the moment.

They can hedge it with futures or options or sell some or all of it at harvest. Or they can store some or all of it and wait for higher prices.

While they are waiting for their wheat prices to rise, farmers must decide whether to plant wheat again or switch to other crops.

Kent Ott, who farms in the Mulvane, Kan., area, said he typically devotes about a third of his acres of wheat.

This year, the low wheat prices are causing him to consider switching more of that to milo and soybeans.

But weather, as always, plays a decisive factor. Milo and soy-

Facing a wheat glut, farmers do have a range of options: sell some of the crop in advance, hedge it with futures or options, or store it and wait for prices to rise. beans typically need a little rain during the hot summer months.

“We will have less incentive to plant wheat this fall,” he said. “But it’s really about the weather. If the summer crops fail, there will be more wheat acres.”

Prices have actually started to rise since April 1 as investors have begun to cover their short

positions — bets on the future markets that prices would continue falling.

Longer term, said Arlan Suderman, a Wichita-based grain marketer, prices have become somewhat divorced from supply and demand.

Although he sees the surplus holding down prices for the rest of the year, he sees prices rising in the longer term.

The global surplus is the result of particularly favorable weather, Suderman said.

Many of the major wheat producing countries will see smaller harvests or reduced wheat acreage in the coming year.

And speculators are starting to buy the cheap grain in anticipation of future short-falls.

“They see it as a long-term investment,” he said. “They are betting we’ll see another spike.”

Farmers have become much more sophisticated about understanding the market, but the market has also become much more complicated, said Tom Leffler, a commodity broker and market adviser in Augusta, Kan.

It’s no longer just weather, government regulations and the regular cycle of price ups and downs, he said.

Now, it’s part of international financial markets as well, including the mood of investors, currency fluctuations, and the performance of the stock and commodity markets.

Farmers have to get out of the deeply ingrained habit — familiar to many amateur players in the stock market — of waiting for the highest possible price to sell.

Leffler and Suderman say the markets have gotten too complicated to outguess.

They say farmers should approach farming instead as a business, selling when the prices exceed costs to lock in profits.

“They have to focus on the profit margin and grow their equity in the farm,” Suderman said.

FINANCIAL REFORM

Getting clarity on the murky world of derivatives

By Neil Irwin The Washington Post

The debate about overhauling financial regulation is focusing on the vast and murky world of financial derivatives. Here are some key things to know:

Q: A:

What is a derivative?

It’s a contract between two parties in which money changes hands based on some other market condition, such as future interest rates or stock prices or value of a currency. They are called derivatives because their value is derived from something else. They grease the wheels of

Moving Continued from G1 Not all those who move to the state start businesses or bring their companies with them, but the migration has always included a brand of entrepreneur like Perkins.

And even during the present economic crisis, they’re still coming.

“I think a lot of it is metropolitan escapism,” said Eric Strobel, Bend manager for Economic Development for Central Oregon, “and part of that is escape from California.”

From skyscrapers to open skies For Perkins, it was escape from New York.

While based out of an office in Manhattan, Perkins said she spent 80 percent of her time traveling the globe.

“Corporate drone was not the title I wanted to have anymore,” she said.

So Perkins traded working environments, moving from skyscrapers to pine and juniper trees,

global capitalism — a farmer can lock in the price of corn before he plants, or a company that does business abroad can protect itself from currency fluctuations.

Q: A:

What are the different types of derivatives?

Many derivatives are traded on market exchanges, which functioned with few problems through the financial crisis.

Things get more complicated with “over-the-counter” derivatives, which are traded through private intermediaries. These include “credit-default swaps,” which allow an investor to buy protection against losses if a bond goes bad.

“I think a lot of it is metropolitan escapism, and part of that is escape from California.”

— Eric Strobel, Bend manager for Economic Development for Central Oregon although she’s familiar with smalltown life. She grew up in Canajoharie, in upstate New York.

Perkins found the Felix Katnip Tree Co. for sale while searching BuyBusiness.com.

The company makes wooden cat-scratching posts in several sizes, including a climber model that reaches floor to ceiling. Prices range from $60 for a 21-inch post to $225 for the climber, according to the Web site. Felix also offers a scratching board for $30.

Infused with catnip, the posts help cat owners modify their pets’ scratching behavior. Instead of clawing the living room sofa, the cats scratch the post, wrapped in sisal hemp to simulate a natural surface, like a tree.

The company’s Web site suggests the posts as an alternative to declawing a cat, and it features

Q: A:

How big are these markets?

Enormous. Over-the-counter derivatives worldwide were worth about $25 trillion in 2009, about half the value of the world’s stock markets, the Bank for International Settlements estimates. The “notional value” of these derivatives is astronomical, totaling $604 trillion, or about 10 times the annual economic output of planet Earth. Think of the difference between the two numbers this way: The price of an insurance policy on a $200,000 house might be only $1,000. But the notional value, should the house burn down, is the full $200,000.

testimonials from customers and references to the product in excerpts from cat health books and Martha Stewart Living magazine.

Photos of Perkins’ cats also can be found on the site.

After arriving in Bend last June, Perkins headed to Seattle, picked up the company’s drill press, saw, carpet- and hemp-stretcher and moved the equipment to Bend in a rental truck.

Since then, she has moved the company into a small industrial warehouse and has hired two employees. Her husband, Jack, the head golf pro at The Apawamis Club about 25 miles from Manhattan, plans to join her.

The cat-scratching posts, which consist of a base and detachable Douglas fir post, are assembled and shipped from Bend.

Bringing business here Along with the company, Perkins bought a loyal customer base. The company’s Web site serves as the only advertising presently, and she ships about 30 to 40 packages a week, although the volume varies.

Her plans include expanding the company’s product line and

Q: A:

Why are over-the-counter derivatives dangerous?

They were a significant contributor to the financial panic that swept the world in 2008, in part because of a lack of transparency. A firm that bought a credit-default swap to protect itself against losses on bonds was only as safe as the company it bought the swap from. To go back to the home insurance analogy, if your house burns down and the insurance company turns out to be Lehman Brothers, which went under, you’re left with a huge loss even though you thought you were covered. Part of the reason the crisis was so bad was that no one

knew exactly which firms were exposed to risk from which other firms and for how much money.

adding retail sales.

“The product sells itself,” she said.

While it’s difficult to quantify the number of people who move their businesses to Bend or start one here, local business officials can quickly provide stories about them. For privacy reasons, they don’t like to, or in some cases cannot, provide identifying details.

Beth Wickham, director of the Small Business Development Center at Central Oregon Community College, said she knew of a woman who moved to Bend after working for a major broadcast network journalist. Her new hometown now serves as the base for her documentary filmmaking company.

“Even with the way the economy is, people are still doing that,” she said.

Strobel, of EDCO, said a couple from California who operate a business providing administrative services nationwide for those in the construction industry recently moved their home and business to Bend sight unseen. “(They) rented a home off the Web, moved here and rolled into town a couple weeks ago,” he said.

Living in Southern California had become unbearable; they have a child in grade school, so schools were a factor, and both have interests in the recreational opportunities found in Central Oregon, he said.

“They were tired of living there,” he said. “They wanted something more wholesome, something more real.”

The help they found in Bend and the friendliness of area residents impressed them, Strobel said. Eventually, they will need to hire some employees for their business.

Lifestyle plays a role for many who relocate a company, but it’s easier to move a company with 10 employees than one with 1,000.

It’s one reason the region attracts software and Web-based companies and those who start them. The availability of highspeed Internet connections helps, too.

Reform legislation Senate Democrats and Republicans say a deal on legislation to rewrite the rules of U.S. finance may be within reach. If they succeed, they’ll be only halfway home.

Senate and House negotiators would then have to resolve differences between their versions of the overhaul on issues ranging from the power of the Federal Reserve to a new consumer protection agency to derivatives regulation.

The Senate plans to hold a test

Limitations Still, it takes money to move or relocate, and the economic crisis has limited the amount of financing available.

But those who make the move

vote Monday on a bill offered by Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., who says he will “conceivably” have a deal with Republicans by then.

The House bill, written by Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-Mass., was approved in December.

Dodd and Frank “will bridge the gap between whatever comes out of the Senate and the House,” said Gilbert Schwartz, a former attorney for the Fed, though key differences in the versions center on — of course — derivatives.

Bloomberg News contributed to this report.

will find plenty of available space to lease, unlike six or seven years ago, and for less money.

“They’re finding what they need,” Strobel said. “They’ve actually got lots of options.”

Finding 10 acres of bare land might be more difficult, he said.

They also can find a ready work force.

Unlike states that lose population along with their jobs, Oregon historically has continued to attract people, with new residents helping to increase the state’s population even during some recessions, according to a 2009 Oregon Employment Department report.

“Strong population growth, in good and bad economic times, has been a hallmark of Oregon for decades,” wrote Christian Kaylor, a work force analyst with the Employment Department.

“Many are surprised that even as Oregon sheds jobs people would choose to relocate here. The reasons are clear: good climate, high quality of life and low cost of living compared to some other desirable places.”

Exports

“I think Farmers is working hard to write policies like this to match consumers’ expectations, and I’m surprised it hasn’t been more of discussion point with my customers. ... But keep in mind, it’s so rare you have a total loss on your home; a whole house fire is a relatively rare event.”

Continued from G1 Read on for some ways to take advantage of the new opportunities.

Choose a market “You can’t do a thing until you find customers,” said Laurel Delaney, founder of GlobeTrade, an export consultancy based in Chicago.

But most small businesses do not know how to do that abroad, so exporting often comes from serendipity: An entrepreneur makes a chance friendship with an overseas importer or someone calls from abroad with an order. “It sometimes works out,” said Cliff Paredes, director of the International Trade Center at the University of Texas at San Antonio. “But the first contact may not be from the right market or from the right partner. If you’re reactive, there’s a risk.”

To be proactive, direct-toconsumer sellers can follow the model of Siegel, who used Google AdWords, the Internet advertising platform, to direct keyword ads to people in specific countries. For products that go through a foreign distributor, Paredes advises exporters to classify their products under the internationally standardized Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, then look at trade data to determine which countries are importing those products.

Once that has been done, industry trade shows are often a good place to find foreign importers eager to carry products in the exporter’s country of choice.

The Commerce Department’s U.S. Commercial Service and the Small Business Administration’s network of Small Business Development Centers also help small businesses find markets and customers.

Build relationships While Americans are used to getting straight to business — often over the phone — most foreign countries require serious relationship-building.

“Relationships are the holy grail of cross-border businesses,” said Duncan McCampbell, president of McCampbell Global, a Minneapolis small-business export consultancy. “As Western business people, we’re the product of a stable legal system. Someone cheats you, you sue them, you get your money. It’s not like that in other countries. If you don’t spend time with people, you will fail.”

About five years ago, Glenn Williams, president of Bell Performance, a 17-employee fuel additive company in Longwood, Fla., began a big push into overseas markets. Attracted by opportunities in China that he had discovered through Alibaba.com and the Commerce Department, he went to Asia to meet potential customers in 2000 — but not before enlisting a friend who was familiar with Asian markets.

“He said, ‘Whatever’s put in

Glenn Williams, president of Bell Performance, a 17-employee fuel additive company in Longwood, Fla., said 40 percent of his revenue came from exports last year. Small businesses can add to export sales by selecting a market, building relationships and customizing products.

The National Export Initiative As part of National Export Initiative, which seeks to double American exports in five years, the Obama administration increased the budget of the Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration by 20 percent to $540 million to help advocate for American businesses abroad and called on the Export-Import Bank of the United States — which provides export financing when private banks cannot or will not — to increase financing for small- and medium-size businesses to $6 billion from $4 billion over the next year.

• Few exports: Today, although the United States exported $1.55 trillion in goods and services last year, it is still isolated. Fewer than 1 percent of America’s 30 million companies export, a significantly smaller percentage than those of other developed countries. Of the companies that do export, those with fewer than 20 employees, like Siegel’s, represent 72 percent of the exporters and 14.2 percent of the value of goods exported.

Here are some ways to take advantage of the opportunity.

We learned to use chopsticks before we left, though I probably lost a few pounds from food jumping out of my chopsticks,” said

“Relationships are the holy grail of cross-border businesses. As Western business people, we’re the product of a stable legal system. Someone cheats you, you sue them, you get your money.

It’s not like that in other countries. If you don’t spend time with people, you will fail.”

— Duncan McCampbell, president of McCampbell Global, a Minneapolis small-business export consultancy

Williams, 34. “And we learned that in Japan you’re supposed to introduce yourself to the top person first and then move down the line.”

Today the company is in almost 30 countries, and last year 40 percent of its revenue came from exports.

Customize your products Not every product has a market outside the United States. Those that do meet certain criteria.

“They’re targeted to a narrow segment of the market that no one’s serving and that pays a premium and isn’t subject to local low-wage competition,” McCampbell said. “The first thing you got to ask yourself is, ‘Can someone make it cheaper in China, India or Vietnam?’”

Even then, exporters need to do thorough market research to modify products to fit local norms.

When Peter Cole took over Gamblin Artists Colors, an art-supply company in Portland, Ore., in early 2007, international sales accounted for less than 5 percent of revenue. So, flying about 80,000 miles in 2009, Cole built relationships with stores and distributors in Israel, Australia, Mexico, Britain and Spain. And he found he had to tailor his products. “In Australia they want larger sizes of paints — sizes we haven’t contemplated for the U.S. market — particularly for printmaking inks,” Cole, 37, said. “People tend to paint bigger, and thicker.” International sales at the company, which brings in almost $5 million annually, rose to 10 percent of revenues last year.

For Kyle Schroeder, president of The Cremo Cream Company, a Los Angeles shaving cream startup, customization occurred for legal reasons: To sell in Canada, he needed to put his tubes in a box so that he could include the required French documentation.

regulations or nail down how and when they will be paid. For protection, it can be helpful to demand advance payment for small transactions or, for larger ones, to draw up a letter of credit — a contract that requires payment before the delivery of goods — between the buyer’s bank and the seller’s. And it is essential to bone up on Incoterms, the internationally standardized system that defines when a product passes from the exporter’s possession to the importer’s and who has to pay for what part of shipping.

The lag time between export orders and payment can tax a small business. To handle this, the Export-Import Bank offers financing that allows small businesses to borrow against their receivables as well as receivables insurance that lets them offer payment terms to foreign clients.

Because of shipping costs, import duties, compliance requirements and added middlemen, profit margins are usually lower in exporting. In Schroeder’s case, adding a box increased his cost by more than 20 percent.

Martinis said.

If you’re interested in purchasing a green insurance endorsement but your insurance company doesn’t offer one, Martinis said it’s best to wait until your existing homeowners policy expires before purchasing a new one, as there are often financial penalties to breaking a policy midterm.

Rhodes said the endorsement’s cost will vary with each policy, but an endorsement from Farmers can cost as little as $25 per year.

“I think Farmers is working hard to write policies like this to match consumers’ expectations, and I’m surprised it hasn’t been more of discussion point with my customers,” Rhodes said. “… But keep in mind, it’s so rare you have a total loss on your home; a whole house fire is a relatively rare event.”

A homeowner typically can purchase a policy endorsement at any time during the insurance policy’s term. However, the endorsement almost always must be purchased from the same insurance company that has underwritten the main policy,

The cost

Thinking of buying green insurance? Here are some tips from the state Insurance Division.

• Research the additional costs of rebuilding to a green standard. Then, weigh the additional premium for green insurance against paying those additional building costs yourself should you suffer a loss.

• If you have green features in your existing home, ask your agent or insurance company how they will be repaired or replaced in the event of a loss.

• Understand that any repairs or rebuilding paid for by insurance would only involve covered losses. So if a small kitchen fire damaged the dishwasher and you had green insurance, the damaged appliance would be upgraded to an energy-efficient version.

Continued from G1 Martinis said the state doesn’t keep track of how many green insurance endorsements have been purchased.

Perry Rhodes, a Farmers Insurance agent in Bend, said he has yet to sell one of the endorsements but thinks they are a good idea.

Farmers is one of the eight insurance companies in Oregon that sells a green insurance endorsement, along with American Automobile Insurance, Associated Indemnity, Fireman’s Fund, National Surety, American Insurance, Unitrin and Travelers.

For its anniversary, Infiniti gives us a grown-up gift Special to The Washington Post

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE — Of all the twists and turns that have roiled the U.S. auto industry in the last two years, this might be the strangest: Dozens of new car models are cheaper to buy over time than their used counterparts.

Two factors contributed to this unusual situation: Robust demand for used cars stirred by the economic downturn has sent prices higher.

Meanwhile, an incentive war is raging among new car manufacturers, led by Toyota, which is battling the fallout from a massive safety recall.

When you do the math and compare finance rates — most vehicles purchased in the United States are financed — the cost of a new car ends up being cheaper than a used car when averaged over time.

“When things get tough, I think people turn to used cars because they automatically assume that’s a better deal, which is a reasonable assumption,” said Jessica Caldwell, senior analyst at car-buying site Edmunds.com. “The funny thing is, we’ve noticed that because of the finance offers and incentives, there are actually some new cars that are cheaper to purchase than used cars.”

Certainly not every new car deal will save money over a used car. But if you’re in the market for a car, it would be wise to at least look at the option of buying new to save money, marketwatchers say.

“It just kind of flies in the face of logic that this is actually possible,” Caldwell said.

Can you discuss the pros and cons of drum brakes vs. disc brakes, in terms of functionality and cost? It seems to me that with current manufacturing technology, disc brakes would be standard. I’m surprised that manufacturers still use drum brakes.

In terms of functionality and performance — the only perspective I deem important — disc brakes win hands down. Look at brake systems as small engines. The engine under the hood converts energy in fuel into heat and mechanically converts heat into work to move the vehicle. Each of the four brakes converts energy of motion back into heat, slowing the vehicle.

By the very nature of a rotating disc being squeezed by hydraulically applied brake pads, the rate of energy conversion of motion into heat in a disc-brake system is significantly higher than drum brakes.

There’s far more surface area on the two sides of the rotor than on the inside of a brake drum. In addition, because the disc/rotor is open to airflow, heat dissipation is far greater, as is the resistance to

Infiniti via The Washington Post

The 2010 Infiniti G37x measures up as one of the best entry-level luxury sedans. It is aesthetically appealing inside and out, has excellent road manners, is priced reasonably and has somewhat decent gas mileage.

2010 Infiniti G37x Sedan Base price: $36,050 As tested: $43,715 Type: Front-engine, midsize, entry-level luxury car available as a sedan, coupe or convertible. The sedan and coupe are available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive Engine: 3.7-liter, 24-valve V-6 that delivers 328 horsepower at 7,000 revolutions per minute and 269 foot-pounds of torque at 5,200 rpm. The engine is attached to a seven-speed transmission that can be shifted automatically or manually Mileage: 26 miles per gallon (1 mpg better than the government-rated 25 mpg) in steady highway driving. But stop-and-go city driving was 16 mpg (2 mpg lower than the government’s rating) — “x” denoting all-wheel drive — easily fills that need.

None of which is to say that the G37x is a frumpmobile. It comes with a 3.7-liter V-6 delivering a maximum 328 horsepower and 269 foot-pounds of torque. It is mature power. It is there when you absolutely need it. But it doesn’t make a nuisance of itself via fast, furious starts from green lights or loud, macho exhaust notes on quiet neighborhood streets.

Instead, it’s on long highway drives that you fall in love with Infiniti’s 3.7-liter V-6. It purrs in the dark of night on truck-laden Interstate 81, where too many truck drivers pay too little attention to

Car shopping? New might be a better deal than something used

Q:

By Warren Brown My intention was to fete the 2010 Audi TTS, another funto-drive coupe with big power, smart handling and two useless rear seats. But that was before the 2010 Infiniti G37x sport sedan, the anniversary edition, all spiffed up, rolled into my driveway.

Truth is, I write about cars the way most people buy them, often with as m u c h R E V I E W emot ion as expertise.

The global automobile industry is aware of that truth — emotion trumps expertise — in the real world of retail markets.

But car companies historically have catered to “buff books,” mostly magazines for self-proclaimed automotive “enthusiasts,” often single young men long on lust for the exotic cars displayed on magazine covers but short of the cash to buy even a single wheel on one of those super-fancy automobiles.

It is a business model that is fast fading in a world grown more practical but still desirous of a good drive in a fine, accessible automobile, which is why I immediately turned toward the 2010 Infiniti G37x sport sedan.

It is a pretty car, gifted with a sinewy, elegantly sculpted exterior. It catches the eye, plays with the heart, and offers four side doors and four real seats. There is a hatch in the rear that doesn’t appear to be a hatch, until it’s opened. It is substantially more of an “us” car than it is a “me” mobile.

When I was in my 20s and 30s, I was happy with a car that could carry me, and you, and not much else. But in my 60s, I no longer need nor want it. Instead, I want a fine car with finesse, one in which family and dear friends comfortably can come along for the drive. The 2010 Infiniti G37x

Disc brakes are better; drum brakes cheaper

Edmunds has compiled a list of vehicles — more than 100 — on its Web site under the tag “New Cheaper Than Used.”

Those vehicles are “either less expensive or nearly the same to buy” compared with their average 1-year-old used counterparts, the company says.

“There are a significant number of vehicles on that list,” Caldwell added.

Cars such as the Honda Civic LX four-door sedan equipped with a 1.8 liter, 4-cylinder engine. According to Edmunds’ analysis, the typical monthly payment for a new model would be $306.

For the same model that is certified pre-owned and a year old, the typical monthly payment would be $329.

For the life of a 60-month loan, total savings would be $1,380 for the new car.

Or the Buick Enclave CXL1 four-door sport utility vehicle equipped with a six-cylinder engine. Typical monthly payment for the new model is $628. For a year-old certified pre-owned model, the typical monthly payment is $675, according to Edmunds. Total savings over the life of a five-year loan: $2,820.

Dealers in southeastern Wisconsin have noticed the trend.

“Prices on the late-model used cars are pretty close to the prices for new,” said Andy Palmen, president of the Palmen Automotive Group, which has dealerships in Racine and Kenosha.

“Used car prices, particularly for the late-model vehicles — 2009, 2008s — you start looking at what I have to pay for them and what I can sell somebody a 2010 for. They’re pretty close.”

the safety of motorists in smaller vehicles, frequently abandoning their assigned space in the right or middle lanes to tailgate motorists in the left.

My wife, Mary Anne, and I were on a return trip from deep in the Shenandoah Valley, moving along I-81 north, when we got trucked — tailgated by an 18-wheeler — yet again. We’d had enough. The road was clear

ahead. I knew what was under the G37’s hood. I squeezed the accelerator, and ... zoom! Goodbye, truck.

But the thrill was illusion.

There were several 18-wheelers around the bend, speaking of which: Rare is the automobile that steers as accurately, easily and intuitively as the G37x sedan. It is as if the car automatically senses bends, curves and corners. There are several technical reasons for this, including an optional, sporty, quick-steering ratio on the car used for this column. If you are buying the G37x, you’d be wise to get it with that option.

In fact, Nissan, maker of all things Infiniti, should standardize that quick-steering setup on all of its entry-level luxury cars.

Doing that would boost prices a bit. But here’s betting that it would also boost the heck out of Nissan-Infiniti sales.

fade from overheating friction material.

So why still use drum brakes? Front brakes do most of the braking on motor vehicles.

Load is transferred onto the front tires as the brakes are applied, increasing the grip or traction of the front tires. This allows carmakers to engineer more brake capability into the front brakes than in the rear.

So, on some light trucks and front-wheel-drive vehicles, the more efficient disc brakes in the front do most of the stopping while the less efficient drum brakes are still adequate as rear brakes.

From a cost perspective, I suspect the additional hardware — including calipers, mounting brackets and rotor/ hub/wheel bearing assemblies — are more costly to manufacture than simple drums, backing plates, wheel cylinders and brake shoes.
