OSU campus snags Cornell hotel courses, a first on the West Coast

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Oregon State University-Cascades Campus has inked a deal with Cornell University that will allow the school to offer two executive education programs in hospitality and hotel management during the 2010-11 school year.

According to a letter from Tom Kline, the executive director of Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration in Ithaca, N.Y., the schools will run two three-day sessions at the OSU-Cascades campus in Bend, one in August and one in January.

“We’re very excited to learn from Cornell as we go forward,” said Becky Johnson, the OSUCascades vice president.

OSU-Cascades administrators spent months negotiating with Cornell’s hospitality and hotel management program, considered among the best in the world and with programs worldwide but none on the West Coast.

Several resorts and businesses in Central Oregon already send teams to Cornell for executive training in hospitality, for continuing education or for masters program courses.

Kline visited Portland and Bend in November and was impressed with what he saw.

He said Cornell considers it a mission to support the hospitality industry, and having executive education offerings on the West Coast will help more professionals.

“When OSU-Cascades and Becky Johnson contacted me with the idea, I thought, ‘Well, that could be very interesting.’

Having a West Coast outlet is interesting. But what is the industry’s reaction?” Kline said. After being encouraged to visit Central Oregon, he was impressed.

“It was really evident, the (industry’s) enthusiasm for two things, one for OSU to bring back its hotel program, and the other was an enthusiasm for Cornell to run executive programs in the region.”

QUESTIONS ANSWERED, MORE RAISED

The OLCC hired “Jason Evers” in 2002 at a salary of $35,112. He climbed the ranks rapidly, receiving a $180-amonth merit increase in 2007 — even after an investigation found Evers’ testimony against local bar owners contradicted video surveillance.

Below is the cover letter from the human resource director awarding the increase. In 2008, Evers was named regional manager of the Bend office; by November, he was receiving $58,872 — his top salary at the OLCC.

OLCC’s rising star: Proven (seemingly) and promoted OLCC to review its procedures, his cases

By Cindy Powers The Bulletin

The allegation that a former liquor enforcement agent may be an impostor has Oregon Liquor Control Commission officials rethinking the way they handle sensitive information.

And the agency will be taking a

second look at files handled by a man calling himself Jason Evers, now in an Idaho jail, accused of assuming a dead child’s identity.

Business owners seeking a liquor license in Oregon are required to turn over substantial personal and financial information, said Bend lawyer Bill Buchanan, who repre-

sents applicants and licensees fighting sanctions issued by the agency.

“The OLCC is hypersensitive about checking those things and making sure that every bit of it is accurate, and if it is not it jeopardizes their application,” Buchanan said.

“... You are known as a person who is fair, collaborative and always seeking win-win solutions.

WASHINGTON — Forget about the Midwest, Kansas City. You’re now part of the “New Heartland.”

So are you, Charleston, S.C., even with all your Spanish moss and Southern charm — and you too, Portland, out there on the Pacific Coast.

These three metropolitan areas couldn’t be farther apart geographically. But demographically, they might have more in common with one an-

Social changes over the past decade, especially the increase in racial and ethnic minorities, are scrambling regional stereotypes and dramati-

cally altering the traditional portrait of America.

“Our metropolitan areas are on the front lines of demographic transformation,” said Bruce Katz, director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings. “Every trend that is affecting the nation — growth, diversity, aging, education disparities, income inequities — is affecting our major metropolitan areas first at a speed, scale and complexity that are truly historic.”

ven as federal agents hunt for the true identity of the alleged impostor and longtime Bend resident known as Jason Evers, newly released documents as well as interviews show how a gifted man rose to become the most powerful enforcement official for state liquor laws east of the Cascades — all while allegedly using an identity stolen from a dead 3-year-old.

Late last month, agents of the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service arrested the controversial former Bend-based regional manager for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission. He faces federal charges as “John Doe, aka Jason Evers,” for allegedly using a false identity to apply for a passport in 2002. Agents believe the man calling himself Evers is an impostor who obtained the birth certificate of a boy murdered 28 years ago to create a new identity.

And they are now busily trying to fig- Inside ure out who “Jason • A timeline, Evers” really is. from Ohio “We’re using evto Oregon, ery investigative Page A6 resource at our disposal,” said Patrick • Evers’ other Durkin, a San Fran(but OLCCcisco-based special sanctioned) a g e n t- i n - c h a r g e identity, with the DSS. Page A6 Top officials at the OLCC say they never suspected Evers, whom they described as “passionate” and “committed,” could be carrying such a secret.

“I think there are a number of people (at the OLCC) that probably are shocked and somewhat surprised, the way that I am, because many people who knew Jason could not possibly imagine there could be something like this in his past,” said OLCC Executive Director Steve Pharo.

When he was hired by the agency in 2002, Evers had a driver’s license, a Social Security card and a birth certificate to prove who he was.

Pharo said the agency checked his employment references and did a background check that included running him through a national criminal database and fingerprinting.

“But, thinking about it, at the time that he allegedly (assumed the identity), he would have been young enough that he might not have been in the system, and if he had a juvenile record that might not come up at all,” Pharo said. “I think a lot of people are surprised when they hear that.”

Federal documents, interviews and his OLCC personnel file, obtained under Oregon Public Records Law, show how the man known as Jason Evers appears to have created a false identity and built up a job history that even included undercover investigative work.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday accepted the resignation of a German bishop under investigation for sexual abuse, the latest high-profile resignation since a sexual abuse crisis erupted in the Roman Catholic Church.

In a terse statement, the Vatican said the pope had accepted the resignation of Bishop Walter Mixa, of Augsburg, who is also a military chaplain for Germany, under a clause in canon law that allows for the dismissal of bishops considered “unfit” for service.

Mixa had admitted to having slapped children as a priest and tendered his resignation to the pope two weeks ago. But Benedict’s decision came a day after prosecutors in his native Germany said they were looking into a complaint of sexual abuse of an underage boy by Mixa, the newspaper The Augsburger Allgemeine reported Friday.

The Diocese of Augsburg has said it passed the new accusation to the prosecutor’s office in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, under guidelines established by the German Bishops’ Conference in response to the public outcry over the sexual abuse scandal.

The prosecutor’s office in Ingolstadt confirmed Friday that a preliminary investigation was under way.

Through a lawyer, Mixa, 69, denied the accusations, which date to his time as bishop in the Bavarian town of Eichstatt from 1996 to 2005, The Augsburger Allgemeine said.

Benedict met with bishops from Belgium on Saturday, weeks after the bishop of Bruges, Roger Vangheluwe, stepped down after admitting to sexually abusing a boy decades earlier.

BRUSSELS — The Icelandic volcano with the unpronounceable name reminded the world again that it has the power to disrupt international travel — coughing out a spreading cloud of ash that delayed or canceled hundreds of flights between Europe and North America.

The prospects for today’s flights remained grim, with no improvement in sight for transAtlantic passengers, and with a plume of low-altitude ash continuing to float eastward over Spain and southern France.

Flights had to be rerouted north over Greenland or south around Spain to avoid the 1,200mile-long cloud stretching from Iceland to northern Spain.

Approximately 600 airliners make the oceanic crossing every day. Around 40 percent were rerouted southward and the rest skirted Iceland from the north, according to Eurocontrol.

The disruptions to air traffic did not compare to the five-day closure of European airspace last month, which forced the cancellation of over 100,000 flights, stranded passengers around the world and causing airlines direct losses of more than one billion euros.

In Italy, the civil aviation authority ENAC said no flights would be allowed over a large swath of northern Italy today from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. because of the cloud. Only the northeast corner of Italy was spared so far, leaving the airports of Venice, a heavy tourist destination, Trieste and Rimini open.

In Spain, 19 airports in the north, including the international hub Barcelona, were closed on early today.

Officers from the New York Police Department’s Emergency Service Unit make a routine appearance in the financial district in New York on Friday. In the wake of last week’s failed car bombing in Times Square, jittery authorities are pouncing on anything suspicious.

Pakistani aid threatened

by N.Y. bombing attempt

By Karen DeYoung and Greg Miller The Washington Post

After more than a year of doling out carrots to Pakistan, the Obama administration has reminded its strategic partner on the Afghanistan border that the U.S. mood could quickly sour if FBI investigators confirm ties between the Times Square bombing suspect and Pakistani insurgent groups.

The warnings so far have been nonspecific. But the administration has indicated that anything

less than full cooperation on the May 8 bombing attempt could make the continued flow of billions of U.S. economic and security dollars “problematic,” officials from both countries said.

Pakistani efforts to combat the militants have under gone a positive “sea change” over the past year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview to be broadcast today on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

On Saturday, the administration delivered a formal request to Pakistan for assistance in

investigating the suspect’s ties with militants in Pakistan’s tribal regions.

“There’s going to be enough here to trigger a policy debate,” predicted one senior official with access to U.S. intelligence on Pakistan and involvement in White House discussions about the bombing attempt. “This is going to really create a new focus on Pakistan, militants in the tribal areas and their recruitment of and connections” to terror operatives recruited in the West, the official said.

Pakistan urged to act against Islamic militants

By Jane Perlez New York Times News Service

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Obama administration has delivered new and stiff warnings to Pakistan after the failed Times Square car bombing that it must urgently move against the nexus of Islamic militancy in the country’s lawless tribal regions, American and Pakistani officials said.

The American military commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, met with the Pakistani military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, at

his headquarters on Friday and urged Pakistan to move more quickly in beginning a military offensive against the Pakistani Taliban and al-Qaida in North Waziristan, Americans and Pakistanis familiar with the visit said. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of continuing diplomatic efforts here.

The Pakistani-American man who admitted to the Times Square attack, Faisal Shahzad, 30, told American investigators that he had received training in North Waziristan, the main

base for the Pakistani Taliban, al-Qaida and other militant groups.

The new pressure comes amid increasing debate within the administration about how to expand the American military’s influence on Pakistani soil.

Pakistani officials, already alarmed by the increase in American drone aircraft attacks against militants in northwestern Pakistan, have been sensitive about any hint that American ground troops could become involved in the fight.

WASHINGTON — The failed bombing in New York’s Times Square is a possible signal that militant leaders in Pakistan have shifted their focus to targets in the U.S. and other Western countries instead of sticking to their home base, according to U.S. counterterrorism officials.

The attack, they also warned, could be only the first by terrorist groups that seek to avoid detection by using simpler methods that are more independently planned. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

U.S. investigators and intelligence agencies are trying to establish whether accused bomber Faisal Shahzad was trained or recruited for the Times Square operation by any Pakistanbased terrorist organization, including the Pakistani Taliban. Shahzad, a U.S. citizen of Pakistani descent, spent five months in Pakistan before returning to the United States in February and preparing his attack.

Shahzad has told investigators that he trained in the lawless tribal areas of Waziristan, where both al-Qaida and the Pakistani Taliban operate. He was arrested aboard an Emirates Airlines jet in New York just minutes before it was scheduled to take off for Dubai.

A senior military official told The Associated Press that investigators believe Shahzad had bomb-making training in Pakistan, sponsored in part by elements of the Pakistani Taliban.

If those suspicions prove correct, it suggests that groups based in Pakistan, including the Taliban along the Afghan border, may be taking on a more global approach after years of focusing attacks largely on government or coalition forces in their region.

That focus could stem from the Taliban’s continued close association with senior al-Qaida leaders, who are believed to be hiding in the lawless regions on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, said one former Obama administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing.

Setback in containing oil spill 3-term GOP senator

ousted from fall race

By Harry R. Weber and Sarah Larimer The Associated Press

ON THE GULF OF MEXICO — A novel but risky attempt to use a 100-ton steel-and-concrete box to cover a deepwater oil well gushing toxic crude into the Gulf of Mexico was aborted Saturday after ice crystals encased it, an ominous development as thick blobs of tar began washing up on Alabama’s white sand beaches.

The setback left the mission to cap the ruptured well in doubt.

It had taken about two weeks to build the box and three days to cart it 50 miles out then slowly lower it to the well a mile below the surface, but the frozen depths were too much for it to handle.

Still, BP officials overseeing the cleanup efforts were not giving up just yet on hopes that a containment box — either the one brought there or a larger one being built — could cover the well and be used to capture the oil and funnel it to a tanker at the surface to be carted away. Officials said it would be at least Monday before a decision was made on the next step to take.

“I wouldn’t say it’s failed yet,”

By Kirk Johnson New York Times News Service

G.M. Andrews / The Associated Press

Clean-up workers pick up debris along the public beach Saturday on Dauphin Island, Ala., following reports of tar balls washing up on the shore.

BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said. “What I would say is what we attempted to do … didn’t work.”

There was a renewed sense of urgency as dime- to golfballsized balls of tar began washing up on Dauphin Island, three miles off the Alabama mainland at the mouth of Mobile Bay and much farther east than the thin, rainbow sheens that had so far arrived sporadically in the Lou-

isiana marshes.

“It almost looks like bark, but when you pick it up it definitely has a liquid consistency and it’s definitely oil,” said Kimberly Creel, 41, who was hanging out and swimming with hundreds of other beachgoers. “.… I can only imagine what might be coming this way that might be larger.”

About a half dozen tar balls had been collected by Saturday

afternoon at Dauphin Island, Coast Guard chief warrant officer Adam Wine said in Mobile.

Authorities planned to test the substance but strongly suspected it came from the oil spill.

A long line of materials that resembled a string of pompoms were positioned on a stretch of the shore. Crews walked along the beach in rubber boots, carrying trash bags to clear debris from the sand.

SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Robert Bennett, an 18-year veteran Republican who had been seeking a fourth term, was stripped of his party’s nomination on Saturday at the state convention here, becoming one of the first congressional victims of the surging discontent from the tea party-infused Republican right.

Bennett, 76, was outmatched in delegate votes by two relative newcomers despite an enthusiastic endorsement from Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor and local Utah hero with a political pedigree of deep Mormon roots and public service.

But the delegates were not in the mood, and the two leading challengers, Tim Bridgewater, 49, a businessman, and Mike Lee, 38, a lawyer, were united in wanting Bennett out.

The senate seat is not expected to change party hands

in November, as Utah has not had a senator from the Democratic Party since the 1970s.

All but the top three candidates were eliminated after the first round of voting. Delegates then whittled the field again — that was where Bennett lost, coming in third with about 27 percent delegate support. A final round of voting was inconclusive. Neither candidate captured the 60 percent required to clinch the nomination, so Lee and Bridgewater will face off in the primary next month.

Gates says urgent need to cut defense bureaucracy

By Robert Burns The Associated Press

ABILENE, Kan. — Warring against waste, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Saturday he is ordering a top-to-bottom paring of the military bureaucracy in search of at least $10 billion in annual savings needed to prevent an erosion of U.S. combat power.

He took aim at what he called a bloated bureaucracy, wasteful business practices and too many generals and admirals, and outlined an ambitious plan for reform that’s almost certain to stir opposition in the corridors of Congress and Pentagon.

N B Possible court nominee Kagan has criticized confirmation process WASHINGTON — The Senate confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court have become “a vapid and hollow charade,” a Chicago law professor complained, because the nominees are not forced to say what they think about disputed issues such as abortion, affirmative action and privacy.

It is “an embarrassment,” she said, that “senators today do not insist that any nominee reveal what kind of Justice she would make, by disclosing her views on important legal issues.” Justice Clarence Thomas won confirmation, she added, even “after his substantive testimony had become a national laughingstock.”

These comments from a 1995 article are likely to be a focus of the next Supreme Court hearing if their author — Elena Kagan — emerges as President Barack Obama’s nominee.

White House aides say the president is near a decision. With media attention focusing increasingly on Kagan, an announcement is expected as soon as Monday.

States move to allow overseas and military Internet voting WASHINGTON — Nearly 3 million overseas and military voters from at least 33 states will be permitted to cast ballots over the Internet in No-

vember using e-mail or fax, in part because of new regulations proposed last month by the federal agency that oversees voting.

The move comes as state and federal election officials are trying to find faster ways to handle the ballots of these voters, which often go uncounted in elections because of distance and unreliable mail service.

About 22 percent of military and overseas voters surveyed were unable to return their ballots in the 2008 election because of such problems, according to the Overseas Vote Foundation, a nonpartisan advocacy group.

Bernanke: You can’t buy happiness WASHINGTON — Your parents were right. Money can’t buy you happiness. That was the message from the Federal Reserve chairman on Saturday to graduates of the University of South Carolina.

“We all know that getting a better-paying job is one of the main reasons to go to college. … But if you are ever tempted to go into a field or take a job only because the pay is high and for no other reason, be careful!” Ben Bernanke said in his commencement address.

“Having a larger income is exciting at first, but as you get used to your new standard of living and as you associate with other people in your new income bracket, the thrill quickly wears off,” he said.

a muscle-bound, garrison state — militarily strong but economically stagnant and strategically insolvent,” Gates said. He recalled Eisenhower’s impatience with a mindset within the military that often sought to add new weaponry without regard for cost or efficiency — “pile program on program,” as he once put it.

Gates said he had recently come to the conclusion about the urgent need for big cuts in light of the recession and the likelihood that Congress no longer will give the Pentagon the sizable budget increases it has enjoyed since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In Greek crisis, fear of pain felt worldwide

By Nelson D. Schwartz and Eric Dash New York Times News Service

The fear that began in Athens, raced through Europe, and finally shook the stock market in the United States is now affecting the broader global economy, from the ability of Asian corporations to raise money to the outlook for money-market funds where American savers park their cash.

What was once a local worry about the debt burden of one of Europe’s smallest economies has quickly gone global. Already, jittery investors have forced Brazil to scale back bond sales as interest rates soared and caused currencies in Asia like the Korean won to decrease. Ten companies around the world that had planned to issue stock delayed their offerings, the most in a single week since October 2008.

The increased global anxiety threatens to slow the recovery in the United States, where job growth has finally picked up after the deepest recession since the Great Depression. It could also inhibit consumer spending as stock portfolios shrink and loans are harder to come by.

And some American companies are facing higher costs to finance their debt, while big exporters are

Cornell Continued from A1 While Central Oregon has a variety of tourism and resort employees who will likely benefit from the executive education programs, Johnson also hopes professionals from around the country, and maybe the globe, will come for classes.

“In Ithaca (on Cornell’s campus), half of the participants are from international origins. So we might be able to get some (people from the Pacific Rim),” she said. “It’s a neat thing. Bend is such a vacation destination, so some people might decide to take classes and then spend an extra week in the Central Oregon area, and that, of course, would benefit the economy.”

In the works The content of the executive education programs has not yet been finalized; course names, costs, professors and exact dates of the classes are still being determined. Classes are for professionals and aren’t for college credit, Johnson said.

“They’re aimed at people who are already out there working in the field,” she said. “They’re for working professionals who want to basically hone their skills in one area or another.”

Johnson said the program likely will be targeted to people working in positions of general manager or higher.

The campus is also launching its new hospitality management undergraduate program this fall. The program is unaffiliated with Cornell, although Johnson said she hopes faculty will benefit from having the Cornell professors on hand, and that the Cornell connection will help get the word out about the new undergraduate offerings.

“If our presence in Bend, Oregon, will also shed some light on their new undergrad program teaching good management principles, that is a good thing for us,” Kline said. “Our ability to join with OSU-Cas-

Power struggle in Britain threatens to rock global financial markets

LONDON — Talks about forming a new government resumed Saturday amid concern that continuing uncertainty would shake world financial markets when they reopen Monday, but the prospects of a deal between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats by that deadline appeared slim. The political situation has left many in Britain bewildered. After seeing their country plunge from the heady days of debt-fueled prosperity earlier this decade to economic shocks and staggering deficits, people here now find their political system, too, in at least temporary disarray.

As an intensive round of negotiations among the parties’ power brokers began Saturday, the Conservatives, led by David Cameron, appeared strongly resistant to the Liberal Democrats’ main demand: a change in the voting system to help smaller parties gain more seats in future elections. Meanwhile, the Liberal Democrats, led by Nick Clegg, seemed divided over whether they should seek a union with the Conservatives or with the Labour Party, which many left-leaning Liberal Democrats see as more philosophically compatible, but is led by Prime Minster Gordon Brown, who is widely unpopular even in his own party.

seeing their edge over European competitors shrink as the dollar strengthens. Riskier assets, like stocks, are suddenly out of favor, while cash has streamed into the safest of all investments, gold.

“It’s not just a European problem, it’s the U.S., Japan, and the U.K. right now,” said Ian Kelson, a bond fund manager in London with T. Rowe Price. “It’s across the board.”

The crisis is so perilous for Europe that the leaders of the 16 countries that use the euro worked into the early morning Saturday on a proposal to create a so-called stabilization mechanism intended to reassure the markets. Finance ministers from all 27 European Union states were expected to gather in Brussels today for a previously unscheduled meeting to discuss and possibly approve the proposal.

The mechanism would probably be a way for the states to guarantee loans taken out by the European Commission, the bloc’s executive body, to support ailing economies. European leaders including French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Saturday morning that the union should be ready to activate the mechanism by Monday morning if needed.

Beyond Europe, the crisis has sent waves of fear through global stock exchanges.

A decade ago, it took more than a year for the chain reaction that began with the devaluation of the Thai currency to spread beyond Asia to Russia, which defaulted on its debt, and eventually triggered the near-collapse of a giant American hedge fund, Long-Term

Cornell courses’ impact on tourism Doug La Placa, president and CEO of Visit Bend, the city’s tourism-promotion agency, said the partnership with Cornell will help bring new people to the community and will likely be a boon for the economy.

“The people this will bring into our community who otherwise would not have a reason to come to Bend will produce good things,” he said. “Bringing the professionals to our community will lead to a migration of both individuals and families and hopefully companies.”

La Placa, who also sits on the OSU-Cascades board of advisers, was involved in recruiting Cornell to the Bend campus.

“It was exciting to see the broad level of enthusiasm and support from both the leadership in Central Oregon and across the state to put our best foot forward for Cornell,” he said. “Partnering with the Cornell School (of Hotel Administration) lends a great deal of credibility to OSU-Cascades and in addition to bringing in executives for the Cornell program, it will bring additional attention to the undergrad program.”

And Kline believes his faculty will learn some things from Central Oregon as well.

“Anytime you go to another area, whether my faculty is going to India or Egypt or Beijing, China, there are aspects of a region that are really unusual and interesting,” he said.

“What is interesting about Bend and Oregon in general is it’s a distinct region and the resorts there have their own character. … In Bend you’re seeing a unique combination (of tourism draws).”

Capital Management.

This crisis, by contrast, seemed to ricochet from country to country in seconds, as traders simultaneously abandoned everything from Portuguese bonds to American

blue chips. On Wall Street Thursday afternoon, televised images of rioting in Athens to protest austerity measures only amplified the anxiety as the stock marked briefly plunged nearly 1,000 points.

“Up until last week there was this confidence that nothing could upset the apple cart as long as the economy and jobs growth was positive,” said William Gross, managing director of the Pimco Group, the giant bond-management firm.

“Now, fear is back in play.”

While the immediate cause of the worries is Greece’s ballooning budget deficit and the risk that other fragile countries like Spain and Portugal might default, it also exposed deeper fears that government borrowing in bigger nations like Britain, Germany and even the United States is unsustainable.

“Greece may just be an early warning signal,” said Byron Wien, a veteran Wall Street strategist who is vice-chairman of Blackstone Advisory Partners.

“The U.S. is a long way from being where Greece is, but the de-

veloped world has been living beyond its means and is now being called to account.”

If the anxiety spreads, American banks could return to the posture they adopted following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in the fall of 2008, when they cut back sharply on mortgages, auto financing, credit card lending and small business loans. That could stymie job growth, and halt the broader economic recovery that is beginning to gain traction.

Now, as Europe teeters, the dangers to the American economy — and the broader financial system — are becoming increasingly evident.

“It seems like only yesterday that European policymakers were gleefully watching the U.S. get its economic comeuppance, not appreciating the massive tidal wave coming at them across the Atlantic,” said Kenneth Rogoff, a Harvard professor of international finance who also served as the chief economist of the International Monetary Fund. “We should not make the same mistake.”

People Continued from A1 The study, “State of Metropolitan America,â€? said the nation is on course to become a nonwhite majority country in another three decades or so. Among the highlights: • The nation’s population grew by nearly 9 percent in the last decade, fueled largely by racial and ethnic minorities. Metro areas grew even faster — by 10.5 percent. • Half of all children in the top 100 metro areas are nonwhite. • Nationally, one in eight Americans is foreign-born; in metro areas, one in six is. • Only five of those metro areas had populations in 1990 where minorities made up the majority.

Now, 17 do. • About 83 percent of the U.S. population growth since 2000 was minority, part of a trend that will see minorities become the majority by midcentury. Across all large metro areas, the majority of the child population is now nonwhite. • Though suburbs still tilt white, for the first time, a majority of all racial and ethnic groups in large metro areas live outside the city. Suburban Asians and Hispanics already had topped 50 percent in 2000, and blacks joined them by 2008, rising from 43 percent in those eight years. • The suburban poor grew by 25 percent between 1999 and 2008 — five times the growth rate of the poor in cities. City residents are more likely to live in “deepâ€? poverty, while a higher share of suburban residents have incomes just below the poverty line. • For the first time in several decades, the population is growing at a faster rate than households, due to delays in marriage, divorce and births as well as longer life spans. People living alone and nonmarried couple families are among the fastest-growing in suburbs.

Cultural, educational generation gaps Meanwhile, the combined total of baby boomers and seniors reached more than 100 million in the past decade, the study found.

A large majority lives in the suburbs. But those neighborhoods weren’t built to accommodate an aging population. And they live alongside the growing percentage of nonwhite youths, which the report called a recipe for a “cultural generation gap.�

Another emerging divide is in education, according to the report.

Whites and Asians are more than twice as likely to have completed college.

The data, likely to reflect many of the findings of the 2010 census, come from the Census Bureau’s annual America Community Survey.

Calling 2010 the “decade of reckoning,� the Brookings report urges policymakers to shed outdated notions of America’s cities and suburbs and work quickly to address the coming problems caused by the dramatic shifts in population.

The analysis being released today provides the freshest detail on the nation’s growing race and age divide, which is now feeding tensions in Arizona over its new immigration law.

The findings could offer an important road map as political parties, including the tea party movement, seek to win support in suburban battlegrounds in the fall elections and beyond. In 2008, Barack Obama carried a substantial share of the suburbs, partly with the help of minorities and immigrants.

Lebanese cooks whipped up roughly 10 metric tons of hummus on Saturday, breaking a world record previously held by rival Israel. The gigantic serving of the popular Middle Eastern chickpea paste is the latest shot in the two countries’ ongoing war to assert ownership over the dip.

Some 300 Lebanese cooks prepared the huge batch of hummus that weighed in at 22,046 pounds. That more than doubles the previous record of around 4 metric tons set in January by cooks in an Arab town near Jerusalem, which broke a previous record held by Lebanon. A Guinness World Records adjudicator confirmed that Lebanon now holds the record.

Lebanon accuses Israel of stealing traditional Arab dishes like hummus and marketing them worldwide as Israeli.

Evers Continued from A1 That history was sufficient for Evers to be employed by the OLCC — an agency known for enforcing fake-ID laws and conducting background checks on would-be licensees and servers.

The documents and interviews leave open why, 14 years ago, an exceptionally intelligent and capable young man may have chosen to become a different person.

They do, however, provide potential clues and raise new questions.

Where did Evers pick up an East Coast accent? How did he get the money he supposedly inherited from a dead grandfather more than a decade ago? And where did he learn to speak authentic street Spanish — the kind not taught in school?

Kim Hess, of Bend, has known Evers since 2002, when he began a five-year relationship with her daughter. Hess says she is playing back what she knows of Evers, wondering what the truth is.

“We don’t know if anything he told us was really true or not,” she said.

Early red flags The man who would later take on the name “Jason Evers” appears to have applied for a birth certificate from the state of Ohio in 1996.

That’s where the other Jason Evers was born in 1979. Three years later, the toddler was kidnapped and murdered. His killer remains in prison, though he is up for parole next month.

Ohio is among the few “open records” states, meaning vital records can be obtained online or by written request, said Jen House, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Health.

House’s agency only retains vital records requests for two years and then shreds them, so she could not tell where in Colorado Evers’ birth certificate was sent.

Investigators believe Evers, while in Colorado, used the birth certificate to apply for — and receive — a Social Security number in 1996.

The application wouldn’t have raised suspicion because before

OLCC Continued from A1 So OLCC investigators and liquor enforcement agents, including the man who calls himself Evers, have access to records like bank account information, Social Security numbers and proprietary business information.

Evers worked at the agency for nearly eight years and served as a regional manager in the Bend office.

Evers’ arrest may change all that, said OLCC Executive Director Steve Pharo.

“This gives us an opportunity to look (at) how we might do things differently,” Pharo said. “When license investigators get those files, they have driver’s licenses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and so we are saying, ‘Wait a minute, maybe we look at this differently. Maybe we take all the licensing info (in Portland), and we take the information that is required for the background checks and redact everything else. Then it can go out to the information gatherers.’”

But the agency has yet to implement such a system, and it holds onto the information for 10 years before destroying it. So for now, the OLCC’s security protocols on sensitive information fall into two categories, according to agency policy statements.

Documents containing “personally identifying information” such as name, Social Security number and date of birth must be in a locked cabinet, desk file

liquor licensees whose video surveillance tape later contradicted his written reports and sworn testimony.

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission employee who stands accused of using a false identity also had what would be a third identity, courtesy of the OLCC. The alleged impostor known as Jason Evers, who is facing a federal charge under the name “John Doe,” went under the name of Jason Smiley while working undercover for the state.

This is not unusual for investigators, OLCC officials say, and there is no indication that Evers used the identity for anything but state business. However, the mechanics of state-issued false identities are not well known.

David House, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles, declined to discuss Evers’ specifics except to confirm he obtained an Oregon driver’s license as Jason Smiley under what his department calls “confidential ID.” Under the program, undercover operatives with law enforcement agencies obtain licenses that appear in public records databases as real. Moreover, if someone calls the DMV to check on the person, the agency confirms the information. “We treat it like it’s a real person,” House said.

Evers used the ID to go undercover and determine whether bars were obeying the law. For instance, in August 2005 he issued a citation to the Stubborn Mule Saloon & Steakhouse in Joseph. In his report, he said he showed his “undercover ID” to a doorperson, who turned out to be a co-owner.

She appeared dazed, and upon spelling out his last name said, “‘Smiley! You are really Smiley! Look, his name is really Smiley’ to a patron behind in line, giggling out loud,” he wrote.

Upon observing a bartender serve a drunk patron, the man calling himself Evers wrote that he then “broke his cover,” revealing himself to be OLCC inspector Jason Evers; he cited the bar for overserving.

DENVER — Moms got tougher drunk-driving laws on the books and were directly responsible for passing and then repealing alcohol Prohibition. Now marijuana activists are trying to enlist the nation’s mothers in legalization efforts with a sales pitch that pot is safer than booze.

Had Evers tried to do the same thing today, his request would likely have been scrutinized.

“It still does happen; it just raises some red flags and we do ask for additional identification,” Larson said.

It’s unclear how long the man known as Evers had been in Colorado when he started using his new name.

His job application to the OLCC claims that for four years starting in February 1996, he worked for an investigative firm specializing in undercover work at nightclubs and bars. However, the Colorado Secretary of State’s office has no record of a company by that name, and it could not be traced through other means.

It’s unclear whether this job was confirmed by the OLCC. On his state job application, the phone number of the company is crossed out in pen, with the word “disconnected” next to it. The words “moved to NY?” also appear next to the company’s location.

In February 1997, Evers landed a job in Denver tinting windows — a position he kept for three years.

David Dickey owns Den-co, a window-tinting company in Denver where Evers had his car win-

Documents and data containing information “with significant penalties for unauthorized disclosure” like proprietary information have a stepped-up level of security. Access to paper documents must be blocked by two “levels” of security — like a locked file cabinet in a locked office or building. Computer data with similar information must be kept in a secured building and be password protected, encrypted or behind firewalls. The information also must be encrypted or password protected before it can be transferred electronically.

As things stand, sensitive information held by the agency is redacted once it is no longer being used, said OLCC spokeswoman Christie Scott. For computer files, the agency has a special program that blacks out the information.

On Friday, Pharo announced the agency will review files of hopeful licensees investigated by Evers while he worked at the OLCC. “We said, ‘Let’s go ahead and take a look at some of the licensing files and look to see if there is anything abnormal or unusual,’” Pharo said. “In light of the allegation, we’ll look to see if he asked for anything more than the standard information.”

Pharo said an experienced OLCC licensing agent will most likely do the review.

dows done. The two struck up a conversation and Dickey offered him a job.

Dickey remembers Evers as “exceptionally bright,” and the only employee in 20 years who ever solved Dickey’s favorite word puzzle. It involved moving eight objects three times on a balancing scale to figure out which of the objects was a different weight than the others.

“And I’d say he was the best employee I ever had, and I probably went through 75 employees,” Dickey said.

When Dickey had health problems during a time when his wife was terminally ill, Evers drove him around so he could get work done, he said.

“I’d have adopted him, he was that nice of a kid,” Dickey said.

Evers told Dickey that he was an orphan and had inherited some money from his grandfather but said little else about family. Evers left the job in early 2000.

While working for Dickey, in 1998, Evers bought into Dine in Delivery in Denver, a small company that delivers food from restaurants around the city.

The owners had placed an ad in the paper for a business partner, and Jason bought in, said one of the proprietors, who asked that her name not be used for this article. She declined to say how much Evers paid for his share of the business.

While balancing his two jobs,

Evers obtained a GED, showing up at Arapahoe Community College in Colorado in June 1999 to take the test over the course of four days.

Evers filled out a form there, claiming his last year of high school was the 10th grade in 1995 and was in a state other than Colorado, said Chalmer Naugle, Colorado’s state GED administrator.

Evers’ test results indicate that even at a normal high school, he would have ranked in the top 1 percent of the most intelligent seniors in the nation, Naugle said, calling them “incredible scores.”

Evers left the delivery job in July 2001. When he decided to move to Oregon, his partners bought him out, his former partner said.

Moving to Bend In Bend, he registered as a member of the Pacific Green Party in October of 2001, according to Deschutes County Clerk Nancy Blankenship. She said he never voted and his registration is considered inactive.

In November 2001, Evers went to work as a bartender for Music To Your Ears Inc., also known as Club 97, a now-defunct Bend nightclub. One month later he took a second job as a regional sales representative for a Texasbased inventory and theft prevention firm called Anderson Corp.

It was around this time that he started going out with Hess’ daughter. Hess recalls him saying he grew up in foster homes and with relatives, and that his noticeable East Coast accent came from living with an uncle in New Jersey.

“We knew he was from back there somewhere,” she said. “He also speaks pretty fluent street Spanish. … It’s not the kind you learn in school, and I could never figure out where he learned that.”

In March 2002, he applied for a job with the OLCC, citing his past bartending experience and undercover work.

Although OLCC officials say they believe the agency did check references, that cannot be verified. They say state law requires them to destroy all information on what references say after two years. The only records of whether something was checked were the notations raising the question of whether Last Resort Inc., the

investigative firm where Evers supposedly did undercover work, could be located.

Christie Scott, a spokeswoman for the OLCC, said the employee who checked that reference has no independent recollection of speaking to Last Resort, but that it’s safe that it was checked, since that investigative experience was crucial to his hire.

In his application, Evers wrote that with Last Resort, he worked with then-Mayor Wellington Webb’s office on a responsible liquor-service public relations campaign. Former Webb spokesman Andrew Hudson said he “never heard of that (campaign) in my life. I would have been heavily involved with that. … I can’t say it never happened, but it’d be surprising.”

There are other discrepancies as well, albeit minor ones. Under educational experience, he said he attended “Arapahoe College” but did not earn a degree there.

Continued on next page

C Continued from previous page There is no college by that name. He may have been referring to Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, Colo., where he took his GED test in 1999. He also applied to the college but never took a single course there, neither for credit nor in its noncredit community education program, said Amy Demrovsky, a records clerk for the college.

A document submitted to the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training concerning Evers says he obtained a GED from a high school called “Arapahoe.” However, he never attended Arapahoe High School, according to a Littleton Public Schools administrator. The high school offered no GED courses at the time, said Naugle, the Colorado GED administrator.

In any event, the man calling himself Evers was hired in June 2002 at a salary of $35,112. Based on the date of birth he supplied to the state, he was “one of the youngest inspectors to ever come aboard,” according to a glowing document in his personnel file. He became a rising star.

“In his first year on the job, Jason completed in excess of 200 investigations, several of which were later established as Commission legal case precedents,” wrote regulatory manager Linda Ignowski in a 2007 document summing up his job performance. “Jason has done the agency proud.”

While working for the state, he kept pursuing his education. In 2004, Evers got a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies from the online institution Thomas Edison State College, based in Trenton, N.J., according to an official in the registrar’s office. Later that year, he enrolled as an online student at California State University, Dominguez Hills, and received a master’s degree in liberal arts in 2006.

On his OLCC application, Evers wrote that his master’s was in “negotiation and conflict resolution.”

Evers climbed the ranks rapidly at OLCC, becoming a trainer and then receiving a $180-amonth merit increase in 2007. In documentation supporting the merit pay, Ignowski cited among other things, his “undercover operations expertise” as well as his work in developing police-acad-

rest, he was serving as chairman of the group.

“He’s always been very professional and a very engaged participant,” said Gay Lynn Bath, the plan’s deferred compensation manager. “We felt he brought a lot to the committee.”

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, May 9, 2010 A7 he issued in 2004 and 2005. One charged a bartender with serving a visibly drunk person. The accused charged two bar owners with admitting a minor into the business and interfering with an OLCC investigation. Evers accused one of the business owners with manhandling another OLCC agent.

Video footage from both bars contradicted Evers’ reports and testimony that he gave before an administrative law judge. The judge — as well as the then-director of the OLCC — found his investigations in both cases were questionable.

One month after Evers became regional manager, the OLCC released a report by an independent investigator hired to look into Evers’ enforcement practices in the two cases that challenged his integrity.

In both cases the investigator agreed that Evers’ written reports and testimony weren’t consistent with surveillance tapes submitted by the bar owners.

Last year, following other allegations that Evers had abused his power, a Department of Justice report found examples in which Evers’ enforcement style “appeared abrupt and punitive in nature or over-zealous.”

In January, he requested a demotion and transfer to Nyssa, near Idaho, which meant an annual pay cut of $2,280.

On April 27, based on a project that cross-checks death certificates with passport applications, federal agents arrested Evers in Caldwell, Idaho, where he was renting a home. He was booked into Ada County Jail in Boise. He is expected to face trial in Portland, where the charges were filed.

Wyden and Merkley Bend-La Pine teachers unite groups to focus on individual pursue financial fixes Teacher students to learn what each needs along alternate paths

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — In the U.S. Senate debate over how to prevent another financial crisis, Oregon’s senators are working separately to get to the same goal.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., is crafting an amendment with Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., that would ban proprietary trading by banks and outlaw financial firms from betting against investments that they sell. Fellow Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden has introduced a narrower amendment with Sen. Scott Brown, RMass., that would require Wall Street firms to disclose when they stand to profit from their investment products going up or down in value.

Merkley’s proposal has gotten the most attention, especially in the financial press, because it’s far more sweeping. He’s outlined the general points in many interviews over the past week, but had yet to introduce an amendment on Thursday afternoon.

Merkley has said the measure would ban banks from using their

own resources to invest in stocks or more complicated financial products. It would also outlaw the kinds of conflicts of interest that led the Securities and Exchange Commission to sue Goldman Sachs last month for marketing investments that were partially assembled by an investor who was betting against those products.

Merkley said he’s still negotiating with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner over the details of the amendment.

“I think we’re making some progress but (have) a ways to go,” Merkley said.

Merkley’s proposal is based in part on the “Volker rule,” named for former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker, preventing banks from making the risky investments more common at hedge funds.

“I would like to see us have a full debate on a number of amendments, including the Volker amendment,” Merkley said. “It’s clearly separating and clearly creating a firewall between high-risk investing hedge fund activities and conventional bank lending.”

For the past several years, schools around Bend and La Pine have developed teacher groups that work together, ob-

serving classroom lessons and providing constructive criticism, all in the name of trying to help students learn.

This year the district is taking that work to another level, tak-

ing those professional learning communities and asking teachers to examine each student’s learning habits and determine what particular interventions are necessary for individual students to become proficient in the skills they need to succeed.

“We’ve taken it to the next level,” Superintendent Ron Wilkinson said. “We’re really kind of drilling down deeper

and raising the accountability to a higher level with those teams. … The trouble is that most of the data we get gets presented in large group data or total group data. What this does is take it down to the individual student and focus on what individual kids need and where they are, and what’s it going to take to get them to the next level.”

Getting really steamed

Washington Week WASHINGTON — The U.S. Senate began what promises to be a weekslong debate on making over regulations of banks and other financial institutions last week. The bill would make a host of changes to federal financial oversight, including creating a new Financial Stability Oversight Council to look for systemic risks to the financial sector, clarify that failed financial firms will be sold off, rather than bailed out, and create new regulations over trading derivatives.

Here’s how Oregon lawmakers voted last week:

U.S. Senate • LIMITING THE SIZE OF THE BIGGEST U.S. BANKS Failed 33-61 on Thursday.

The amendment to the financial regulation reform bill would have created strict new limits on the size, leverage and amount of capital held by banks and investment companies. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, pushed for the measure as a way to prevent financial companies from becoming too big to fail. Opponents of the measure said it would change federal banking rules too radically and potentially require breaking up some banks. A yes vote was to limit the size of banks.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D ......................................................................... Yes Sen. Ron Wyden, D .......................................................................... Yes

• LIMITING THE POWERS OF A CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION AGENCY Failed 38-61 on Thursday.

The amendment to the financial regulation reform bill would have scaled back the scope of a proposed agency to protect consumers from misleading financial products. The amendment sponsor, Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., said the consumer protection agency proposed by Democrats would have too much power and jurisdiction over non-bank companies, including payday lenders.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D .......................................................................... No Sen. Ron Wyden, D ........................................................................... No

U.S. House • CREATING NEW ENERGY EFFICIENCY INCENTIVES Passed 246-161 on Thursday.

The bill, called the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act, creates a program to give homeowners up to $8,000 worth of rebates for energy efficiency upgrades.

he story that brought a 29-ton steam engine to Tom Street’s front yard began almost 50 years ago, when Street’s grand-

father proudly showed off an ancient, steam-powered buzz saw to his grandson.

“He told me, Tommy, one day this will be yours,” he said. “Oh great, I thought, just what I need. An old piece of rusty junk.”

But that first old piece of rusty junk led to another, and another, and eventually so many that they couldn’t be counted. Street eventually went into business as a motorcycle mechanic. And three years ago, he added the biggest piece yet to his enormous collection of all things motorized and mechanical — the massive steam engine that once powered the Bridge

• REMOVING THE MARKETING BUDGET FOR THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM Failed 190-228 on Thursday.

The amendment by Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas, would have removed $12 million budgeted to raise public awareness of the Home Star program.

And within a year and a half, Street expects he’ll be able to fire it up.

Tom Street, left, and a few volunteers work together to spin the 14-foot-tall flywheel on Street’s steam engine Saturday morning.

So far, no one has been hurt on the project.

“Maybe a few sore backs the next day, but we haven’t pinched a finger, nothing,” Street said.

Deschutes County is still a year away from fully phasing in fees to pay for the impact of new development on local roads, but some people have raised concerns that homeowners in resorts are paying more than their fair share.

When Deschutes County adopted a method to calculate the impact and fees for different types of development in 2008, it included a lower cost for resort homes: $1,136, compared with $3,583 for other single-family homes. This was because many resort residents live here seasonally and use roads less than fulltime residents, said Road Department Director Tom Blust.

But the fee schedule the Deschutes County Commission adopted listed one rate for all singlefamily homes, and did not include a lower fee for resort homes.

Steve Hultberg, an attorney at Ball Janik LLP in Bend who has represented several local resorts, recently questioned county staff about why they were not charging the lower rate for resort homes.

“I think they’re simply charging the wrong amount, because they’ve already adopted this as their methodology,” Hultberg said.

Since 2008, the county has collected the fees for 10 homes inside resorts, according to a county staff report.

Now, the commissioners must decide whether to continue assessing the same fee for all single-family homes or begin charging a lower fees for resort homes.

Another question facing the commission is whether to refund the difference to homeowners and builders in resorts who paid the fees.

B2 Sunday, May 9, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Schools Continued from B1 Last week, the district brought in Janel Keating, the deputy superintendent of Washington’s White River School District, and Robert Eakers, a Solution Tree consultant who specializes in professional learning communities.

The pair spoke with administrators and teacher leaders about sharpening the work they’ve already done with the teacher groups at their schools. “The way we do that is by having collaborative teams of teachers have deep, rich discussions clarifying exactly what it is students need to learn to be successful, and then we ask them to also develop ways to monitor the learning of individual kids on a frequent and timely basis,� Eakers said. “We also assist these teams in schools in figuring out ways to give students additional time and support when they’re struggling and extend and enrich learning when they’re proficient.�

While schools in the area have been working in their professional learning communities for several years, Eakers said his goal is to help those groups go deeper and to make the work universal throughout the entire district.

To that end, the groups have spent time looking at state education standards, breaking down what those standards mean, and deciding which ones are most important. Then the groups have figured out common tests and other assessments teachers can use to figure out whether students have met those standards before they take the state tests. “We call that academic scrim-

maging,� Eakers said. “You need to have a few scrimmages first so we can monitor learning, kid by kid and skill by skill.�

Bill Rhoades, a chief academic officer for the district, said that this year has been about getting all of the schools to put systems in place to increase the accountability of each teacher. “We have levels of accountability from the individual classroom teacher all the way to the board and the community,� he said.

That’s the case at Lava Ridge Elementary, where Principal Gary Timms said test scores continue to improve dramatically.

As scores have jumped, Timms said the school’s teachers have also decreased the number of students being referred to special education by improving interventions. This year, the school has also increased enrichment opportunities for students who are already proficient in subjects.

The dedication to individual students has also increased, Timms said. “Just because we’ve finished a unit, we still have kids who haven’t learned it. There’s not a sense of, ‘We already taught it, oh well,’� Timms said. “Now it’s more like ‘Oh boy, we still have kids who need to learn this.’ It’s a mind set shift.�

Getting information on individual students is important, Eakers said, because that’s what parents really want to know. “It seems to me that with all the testing we’ve been doing in the U.S. in the last number of years, that we do a pretty good job at looking at districts and schools and even things like grade levels and subject areas in terms of how kids are doing,� he said. “But if

Northwest sends aid, supplies to Gulf spill

you’re a parent in Bend what you really want to know is how my kid’s doing. “I think most of this is common sense really. It’s just, ‘How can we look at the learning of individual kids and help make sure they’re learning the essential things that all kids need to know?’�

And with teachers working together in grade-level groups on a regular basis, students get the same general curriculum no matter who their teacher is. “When teams of teachers are meeting so often together, and they’re asking questions, it’s just natural� that they’ll all teach the same curriculum, Timms said.

Most of the work with professional learning communities started in the elementary schools.

But Wilkinson said the work has now extended to include middle schools and high schools, with departments discussing grading students based on proficiency and debating the relevance of homework. “It’s pushed the conversation,�

Wilkinson said.

The results, Rhoades said, have been clear. Although it’s early, he said data show the district has several schools that have seen drastic increases in the number of students passing state reading and math tests. “I think we’ve had pockets of excellence, of teachers and schools doing these systems that get down to the student level,�

Rhoades said. “Now that’s kind of our expectation of (all schools).

The whole system is getting better.�

A friendship built for long distance

By Sarah Bowen Shea New York Times News Service

In January, when the elite marathoner Kara Goucher found out she was pregnant, she knew exactly whom to ask for advice.

Paula Radcliffe, the women’s world-record holder and mother of a 3-year-old daughter, had just arrived in Portland to train with her.

The topic of pregnancy became more personal for Radcliffe a few days later when she, too, learned she was expecting. She and Goucher are due to give birth on the same date in late September.

“We were both really excited and really happy,” said Goucher, who had been forthright in her desire to have a baby in time to regroup for the 2012 Olympics.

Before this year, the friendship between Goucher, a 32-year-old American, and Radcliffe, a 36year-old Briton, was based mainly on e-mail messages with occasional meetings at races. They became acquainted at the 2007 Great North Run, a prestigious half-marathon in England, in which Goucher staged a surprise win over Radcliffe. A few weeks later, Goucher watched Radcliffe win the New York City Marathon.

“It helped to have someone going through it at the same time even though we didn’t have the exact same feelings on the exact same day. If you haven’t gone through pregnancy, you don’t know what that type of tiredness feels like, what being wiped out feels like.”

— Paula Radcliffe, record-holding runner “There was a lot of respect there, but I didn’t know her well enough to classify her as a good friend,” Radcliffe said in a phone interview.

They grew close while spending their first trimester together.

“She’s now one of my very best friends,” Goucher said in a recent interview at Nike headquarters in Beaverton. “I feel I can ask her anything, and she’ll tell me. That came over time. It wasn’t like I asked her everything on our first run.”

In the first few weeks of pregnancy, Goucher and Radcliffe met every morning at 9:30, after Radcliffe dropped off her daughter, Isla. They ran together, doing tempo runs, hill repeats and track workouts wearing heart-rate

monitors to gauge their intensity.

They occasionally met in the afternoon for a second workout, although Goucher often napped instead because of pregnancy-induced fatigue.

“It helped to have someone going through it at the same time even though we didn’t have the exact same feelings on the exact same day,” Radcliffe said. “If you haven’t gone through pregnancy, you don’t know what that type of tiredness feels like, what being wiped out feels like.”

Goucher, who finished third in the 2008 New York City and 2009 Boston marathons, benefited from Radcliffe’s advice to leave her watch at home during hill repeats and to cut runs short when she feels a twinge.

WHEELER — When Dianne Stiger stopped by the Wheeler Pharmacy on Tuesday morning, she came with a tin of freshly baked brownies and left with a hug and a few tears.

For as long as Stiger can remember, the pharmacy has occupied its place in the heart of downtown, and now, with almost no warning, it’s time to say so long.

“It’s like the end of an era,” said Stiger, wiping away tears.

“It hurts so bad. Everyone here is like family. I’ve known them forever.”

Word that the pharmacy is closing surprised everyone. Operated by pharmacist Jeff Collett since 1973, the pharmacy was an institution in the coastal town south of Manzanita, a place not only to pick up drugs and medical supplies but also chocolates, T-shirts, watches, even wedding albums. It was the place to catch up, commiserate and share a hug when needed.

“I just figured the store would be open until we all decided to leave,” said Sue Winegar , a clerk

www.OasisSpaofBend.com

at the store for 10 years.

So did everyone else, until about a month ago when federal drug agents arrested a pharmacy technician, accusing her of illegally dispensing drugs. That cost Collett his license to fill prescriptions for all but the most basic drugs, as well as fines he’s still not sure how he will pay.

This week, as Winegar and fellow clerks packed up and Collett explained to one more caller that people would have to go somewhere else, they readied to lock the door one last time.

Collett, a 70-year-old father of five, grandfather of 11 and graduate of the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy class of 1961, started at the Wheeler Pharmacy in 1968. He bought the store from the former owner five years later and has operated it ever since.

He said he realized something was amiss this year when he did a quarterly audit of the pharmacy and discovered there were quite a few drugs missing.

Soon, the Board of Pharmacy and law enforcement got involved. Collett says he still doesn’t know where the drugs went, but the federal Drug En-

forcement Administration and Tillamook County Sheriffs Office say they do.

Last month, they arrested Florence West, 57, of Nehalem and charged her with unlawful delivery of a schedule 2 controlled substance. Missing from the pharmacy were thousands of methadone, oxycodone and other pills, which authorities say West gave to customers who told her they’d accidentally lost or destroyed the narcotics. They do not believe she took money for the drugs.

After West’s arrest, Collett agreed to give up his license to dispense schedule 2 narcotics, which include drugs such as methadone.

Detectives say he was also illegally dispensing drugs.

“Pharmacist Jeff admitted to DEA and Sheriff’s Office investigators that he ‘loaned’ customers schedule two narcotics,” said Tillamook County Sheriff’s Detective Paul Fournier in an e-mail.

Shelter for grandma, but what of rules? Sexual satisfaction ebbs for 45-plus set, AARP reports

By Fredrick Kunkle The Washington Post

SALEM, Va. — The Rev. Kenneth Dupin, who leads a small Methodist church here, has a vision: As America grows older, its aging adults could avoid a jarring move to the nursing home by living in small, specially equipped, temporary shelters close to relatives.

So he invented the MEDcottage, a portable high-tech dwelling that could be trucked to a family’s backyard and used to shelter a loved one in need of special care.

Skeptics, however, have a different name for Dupin’s product: the granny pod.

Protective of zoning laws, some local officials warn that Dupin’s dwellings — which have been authorized by Virginia’s state government — will spring up in subdivisions all over the

state, creating not-in-my-backyard tensions with neighbors and perhaps being misused.

Look at how people despise PODS, those ubiquitous big white storage boxes, critics say.

Imagine, they add, if you had people living inside.

“Is it a good idea to throw people into a storage container and put them in your backyard?” said Fairfax County Supervisor Jeff McKay, D-Lee. “This is the granny pod. What’s next? The college dropout pod?”

Urban concern Such temporary shelters might work in rural and sparsely developed parts of the state, McKay said, but the impact could be enormous in crowded urban and suburban areas.

“This basically sets up an opportunity to do something legal-

ly which, prior to this, had been illegal — which is to set up a second residence on a single-family property. It turns our zoning ordinance upside down,” McKay said.

The idea, Dupin said, came to him after years of leading humanitarian missions to developing countries, and it was encouraged by a growing sense of his own mortality. But he also said it just might make a lot of money, especially since the nation’s elderly population is set to double in just 10 years as more and more baby boomers hit retirement age.

Surveys by AARP and others also show that large majorities prefer to live in their own homes or with loved ones rather than in retirement communities.

The MEDcottage would be equipped with the latest technology to monitor vital signs, filter the air for contaminants and

communicate with the outside world via high-tech video. Sensors could alert caregivers to an occupant’s fall, and a computer could remind the occupant to take medications.

Technology could also provide entertainment, offering a selection of music, reading material and movies.

The dwelling would take up about as much room as a large shed and, like an RV, could connect to a single-family house’s electrical and water supplies. It could be leased for about $2,000 a month, a cost Dupin hopes will be borne by health insurers.

The new company, N2Care, has won $100,000 in public grants, although the Blacksburg, Va.-based venture is still searching for private investors and has no full-time employees. In any case, N2Care appears to be on its way.

Bend marketing meeting was packed 100 years ago 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 8, 1910 PUBLICITY IS CENTRAL TOPIC Fifty banqueters crowded around the board at the Pilot Butte Inn Tuesday evening to do honor to Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial Club and publicity agent for Oregon in general. The tables were arranged in the conventional U shape and every seat was filled.

The Bend band “poured through their mellow horns their pensive souls” in an adjoining parlor, adding materially to the pleasure of the occasion. The menu was excellent in quality and service, the speeches entertaining and illuminating and enthusiasm abounded.

Midway of the menu the speaking began. After an introductory remark by Toastmaster Lawrence, C.S. Hudson, President of the Bend Commercial Club, spoke of promotion work and its results and heartily commended the efforts of the guests of honor and wished a happy birthday to Tim and Alex. Manager Frank Robertson, of the Bend Townsite Co., presented Bend’s basis for growth and expressed his confidence in a vastly bigger Bend. A.M. Drake ran somewhat to interesting reminiscence and comparisons of the olden time with the present. In forecasting Bend ten years hence A.O. Hunter made a spirited and convincing address, giving such reason for the faith that was in him that everybody cheered vociferously. Guy E. Dobson, The Redmond banker, representing the Commercial Club of that town, expressed his pleasure at the evidence of neighborly good will and gave assurance that Redmond would work hand in hand with Bend in measures for the development of the Deschutes country. George P. Putnam spoke of the publicity work in Bend and in Oregon, and the magnificent organization of it by Tom Richardson. Then Mr. Richardson gave a brief sermon on the gospel of boosting, citing the numerous benefits flowing from such effort and extolling the opportunity for such work in Central Oregon.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 8, 1935 REPORTER BESTED

BY MOTHER GOOSE Crestfallen, somewhat apologetic, The Bulletin’s waterfront reporter, Paul Hosmer, admitted this morning that he had been very badly “scooped” — a news story that he should have reported about a month ago has showed up on the mirror pond, so old that it has feathers. This story, Hosmer explained, is a lone gosling,

Y E S T E R D AY first wildlife hatched on Bend’s scenic mirror pond this season.

But, Hosmer apologized, he really had a reason for not discovering the gosling until it was about a quarter grown. The Bulletin’s waterfront reporter, it appears, has been devoting most of his attention to some marital difficulties that have apparently developed on the mirror pond in recent weeks. Since Lela, one of the parent swans of the mirror pond, took up her domestic duties on a slightly elevated nest in the tules just below the Tumalo bridge, Clyde, her mate, has been wandering far afield — in fact, the big bird has been paying little attention to Lela as she sets on an unknown number of eggs out in the Deschutes River.

Last year, Hosmer recalls, Clyde was most faithful to Lela.

Seldom did he get more than a hundred yards away from his mate during the nesting season.

Several times last year, Hosmer attempted to row close to Lela’s nest, to see if some yellow cygnets might be moving about, but always his approach was blocked by pugnacious Clyde.

“But things are different this year,” Hosmer said, and in his voice there was a hint that birds of the mirror pond should be chatting among themselves, in hushed tones, of the unfaithfulness of a bird that is supposed to stay mated through life. Clyde very frequently makes long excursions down the mirror lake, around the Hosch point and out of sight of his mate. Clyde may just be in quest of food, but Hosmer is a bit suspicious.

But getting back to the lone gosling — and Hosmer was somewhat reluctant to get back — the waterfront reporter said that he had really attempted to keep in touch with the goose family and several weeks ago visited their unoccupied nest, only to find three chilled eggs. Hosmer assumed that some tragedy had overtaken the family and made no further investigation. But it developed that the parent geese deserted their nest after one egg had hatched and had escorted their lone gosling into deep water.

For the past several weeks, the two old geese and their lone offspring of the 1935 season have been making their home on or near the Melvin Cyrus lawn, at 804 Harmon Boulevard, where they are receiving food and attention. Last year, the geese hatched five goslings and immediately went upstream.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 8, 1960 REUBEN LONG COMES UP WITH NEW STORY Reuben Long, sage of the northern Great Basin who operates a cattle ranch near Fort Rock, is noted for his after-dinner stories.

Fact is, he can tell good stories between meals, or out on the open range as his faithful horse makes its way over desert trails.

One of his best stories concerns a sudden storm that hit his parental homestead when he was a boy in the so-called desert of Lake County. Long maintains he had

never heard moisture from the clouds until that storm hit.

So, Long relates, when he heard hail and rain pounding on the cabin roof, he ran outside, to see what caused the noise, and was knocked out by big hail stones.

“And do you know what,” Long dramatically concludes that story, “my folks had to throw seven buckets of sand in my face before they could revive me.”

Now Reuben Long of the range country comes up with a new story: He reports that earlier this season heavy rain fell in the land of sagebrush and tilted rims. The stuff was measured and officially recorded as 0.30 of an inch of precipitation.

Ranchers of the area sent some of the precipitation to Oregon State College for a test. Long concludes that after-dinner story in this manner: “The professors over at the college found that the desert precipitation was about 10 percent moisture.”

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending May 8, 1985 C.O. WEATHERMAN RETIRES AFTER 11 YEARS Foster Rucker has retired as Sunriver’s official weatherman, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less interested in measurements and statistics.

His fascination with figures is a natural offshoot of his long career as an electrical engineer.

That same fascination motivated his hobby interest in track and field, he says.

“Track fans have a natural interest in measurement controls and statistics,” he said. “They tend to be people like accountants or mathematicians. They think in

numbers, not philosophy.”

Rucker and his wife have attended international track meets all over the world, including Olympic games in Melbourne, Rome, Tokyo and Munich.

The engineer-track buff has moved the weather recording to the Sunriver Nature Center. The location is an improvement and workers at the center can relieve the pressure when Rucker and his wife, Maybelle, go on vacations.

“We called on neighbors to pinch-hit,” Rucker said, “but that wasn’t always convenient.”

Rucker manned the cooperative station at his home for 11 years and missed the twice-daily readings only two days.

He took the unpaid job at the urging of Jim Anderson, the first Sunriver naturalist, who learned of Rucker’s unusual qualifications.

Rucker earned a master’s degree at Cal Tech after graduating from Southern Methodist University.

His work for Leeds and Northup, an early manufacturer of scientific and industrial measuring instruments, was a long involvement with sophisticated electrical measurements of various kinds.

He worked for the company for 25 years.

Rucker and his wife arrived in Sunriver in 1972.

He started taking the weather recordings in 1974.

Rucker recently compiled statistics showing monthly averages for the past 10 years. The information shows that Sunriver receives an average 291 sunny days a year, 213 days when the temperature drops to less than 32 degrees, and 4.5 days when it’s below zero.

NEW YORK — Americans 45 and older are far more open to sex outside of marriage than they were 10 years ago, but they’re engaging in sex less often and with less satisfaction, according to a major new survey by AARP. What’s the problem?

AARP’s sex and relationship expert, sociologist Pepper Schwartz, thinks financial stress is a prime culprit.

“The economy has had an impact on these people,” she said. “They’re more liberal in their attitudes, yet they’re having sex less often. The only thing I see that’s changed in a negative direction is financial worries.”

The survey, being released Friday, is based on detailed questionnaires completed last year by 1,670 people 45 and over. The AARP, which represents 40 million Americans over 50, conducted similar surveys on sexual attitudes and practices in 1999 and 2004.

One of the most pronounced changes over the 10-year span dealt with sex outside of marriage. In the 1999 survey, 41 percent of the respondents said nonmarital sex was wrong. That figure dropped to 22 percent in the new survey.

Yet sexual activity — marital or not — seems to be less frequent overall for this age group. In the new survey, 28 percent said they had intercourse at least once a week, and 40 percent at least once

a month — both categories were down roughly 10 percentage points from 2004.

Asked if they were satisfied with their sex lives, 43 percent in the new survey said yes, down from 51 percent in 2004.

One intriguing finding: Respondents who had a partner but weren’t married had sex more frequently and with more satisfaction than respondents who were married.

Nonmarried couples “These long-term married couples may get a little less interested,” Schwartz said. “Older people in nonmarried relations work harder at it and enjoy it more.”

Schwartz, a professor at the University of Washington and author of 16 books on relationships, said it was notable how even respondents in their 70s and 80s stressed that sex was important to their quality of life.

“The big difference as people age is not that sex becomes less important but that a partner becomes less accessible,” she said.

The survey asked respondents what would improve their sexual satisfaction. Twenty percent of the women and 37 percent of the men said better health; 14 percent of the women and 26 percent of the men said better personal finances.

Chess grandmaster dies at 99 The Associated Press BUDAPEST, Hungary — Andor Lilienthal, the last surviving member of 27 original grandmaster chess players, died Saturday in Budapest at the age of 99, the Hungarian Chess Federation said.

Lilienthal died at his home after a long illness, the federa-

tion’s communications director, Zsuzsa Veroci, told The Associated Press.

“He was a phenomenon,” said Veroci, also a FIDE woman grandmaster. “It may sound like an exaggeration, but he had no enemies, just friends.

He loved chess and was always helping other players.”

Continued from B1 Jedd Pond, a friend of Street’s, operates a steam engine of similar vintage at Antique Powerland in Brooks. Pond, who has offered technical advice for Street’s project, said that given the lack of parts and the amount of work needed to get a steam engine running, the ones that haven’t been sold for scrap have mostly been turned into museum pieces. The ones that are still running could probably be counted on one hand, he said.

“There’s a lot of them, honestly. But they’re mostly in parks; they’re stationary items,” he said.

Biggest engine for miles around The first time Street ever saw the steam engine was back in 1971, shortly after he moved to Bend. Friends had observed the motorcycle engines and other parts scattered around his apartment, and told him the biggest engine for miles around could be found up in Mitchell.

Street took his motorcycle up to Mitchell and found the Bridge Creek Mill, which at that time had been closed for the last 10 years. Ignoring the “No Trespassing” signs, he went inside.

As he felt his way along in the

Reform Continued from B1 Wyden is also taking aim at financial firms that bet against products they’re selling. He introduced an amendment on Thursday with Brown, which would require any company that sells a financial product to disclose whether it has a financial stake in how the investment performs.

The amendment would direct the Financial Stability Oversight Council — a new board created by the form bill — to draft the rules so buyers know when the seller is betting against, or “shorting,” an investment, said Wyden Communications Director Jennifer Hoelzer.

“In many cases, purchasers of these products intend to ‘short’ these investments while the seller does not,” Hoelzer said. “These are contradictory interests that can expose the purchaser to risks of which they are not aware.”

Hoelzer said Wyden’s hoping to include the proposal in a package of changes known as the manager’s amendment, which usually has a much higher chance of being passed than individual amendments.

Because Merkley hasn’t released his amendment, Hoelzer said Wyden couldn’t comment on the proposal.

Alaska visionary, former Interior secretary Wally Hickel dies at 90 McClatchy-Tribune News Service ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Wally Hickel, whose exuberant confidence, boldness and independence as a two-term governor, secretary of the Department of the Interior, businessman and dreamer shaped Alaska like few others in its history, died Friday night at the age of 90.

Hickel died at 9:52 p.m. at Horizon House in Anchorage, an assisted living home operated

by Providence Alaska Medical Center. He’d recently had a mild heart attack and pneumonia.

But his close friend and aide, Malcolm Roberts, said Hickel’s passing was really being described as just complications from old age.

Community banks

Fees Continued from B1 The commission is set to discuss the issue at a 1:30 p.m. meeting May 26.

Commissioners Tammy Baney and Dennis Luke both voted to adopt the fees in July 2008, while former Commissioner Mike Daly voted against them. The fees are being phased in over three years, and they started at $3,046 for a single-family home and will reach $3,583 in 2011.

At the time, Deschutes County joined the cities of Bend, Redmond, Sisters and Prineville locally, and Clackamas, Columbia, Jackson, Marion and Washington counties in charging the fees.

Luke said he did not recall whether he was aware of the different rates when he voted to ap-

prove the fees.

“It’s been too long ago; that’s why we asked them to bring it back and look over it again,” Luke said.

Baney said she supports the different fees generated by the methodology for homes inside and outside of resorts, which a committee of people from various interest groups approved before the commission voted on it.

Commissioner Alan Unger, who was not on the commission when the fees were approved, said perhaps all homes should be subject to the same fee.

“I’m more inclined to say you have to build your road system for the ability of people to get out and use it, and it isn’t necessarily that important whether you use it a little or a lot, it needs to be there,” Unger said.

Bill Robie, government affairs

Meanwhile, community banks have taken a largely favorable view of the financial reform effort, unlike their larger brethren who have deployed scores of lobbyists to weaken the bill.

The Independent Community Bankers’ Association, which represents about 5,000 smaller banks, including Bend-based Bank of the Cascades, likes most of the new rules proposed by Democrats, said Steve Verdier, the group’s director of Congressional af-

director for the Central Oregon Association of Realtors, said the county’s fee is “not a huge one compared to some of the cities (development fees), so maybe some of the builders just thought, ‘It is what it is and I’ve gotta pay it.’

“Since this was the county’s error, it should be rectified pretty swiftly,” Robie said.

NEW!

dark, he looked up and realized the engine was even bigger than he’d been told — unknowingly, he’d been running his hand along the base of the engine to keep his balance.

For the next 36 years, Street fantasized about getting the Bridge Creek Mill engine up and running.

‘Susan’s Iron Garden’ On a chance trip through Mitchell in 2007, Street found the steam engine disassembled and waiting to be hauled away to a scrap yard. After a few weeks of unsuccessful attempts to find a proper home for the engine, his wife, Susan, encouraged him to bring it home to what Street now calls “Susan’s Iron Garden.”

Three years and close to $40,000 later, he’s found or built every piece he’ll need to make the engine run. A shining brass steam whistle sits on a counter in his kitchen, a 350-pound governor blocks the door to the patio, and a table overflows with what look like over-sized watch parts, all waiting to be cleaned, oiled and put into place.

Street expects the steam engine will become a permanent fixture on his property, located just under a mile south of where Tumalo Road intersects with the Old Bend-Redmond Highway.

fairs. While he hasn’t seen Merkley’s proposal yet, he said the idea makes plenty of sense.

“We’re all for tightening up on these larger institutions,” Verdier said. “We certainly like the Volker rule and the idea of tightening down the risk of the too-big-tofail crowd.”

The community banks do object to a handful of potential amendments to the Senate bill, Verdier said. A proposal requiring mortgage lenders to keep 5 percent of mortgages on their books, rather than reselling them, would be a hardship for smaller banks, he said. The White House has said that provision is needed to make sure that lenders have a financial stake in the loans they issue and reduce the number of risky mortgages.

“That’s going to make it harder for community banks to make loans and sell them off,” Verdier said. He referenced statistics showing that community banks issued fewer bad loans than large lenders.

Small bankers also would prefer that the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency be based at the Federal Reserve (as is the case in the Senate bill), rather than being independent, as Merkley has proposed and is the

“What are you going to do when the county wants to widen the road?” one friend inquires.

“Well, they’ll just have to put a bend in the road,” Street responds.

The early history of Street’s steam engine is clouded in mystery. Raised lettering on the engine states that the design was patented in 1908, but Street has not determined when it was built, or where it was until it was installed at the Bridge Creek Mill in 1949 — just that it was purchased used, and shipped from somewhere back East.

Among Street’s guests Saturday was George Hudson, a 92-year-old Prineville resident.

An electrician, Hudson wired the electrical generators powered by the steam engine when the Bridge Creek Mill opened 61 years ago.

Glancing back and forth between the engine and an old news clipping about the mill, Hudson marveled at the cost of the belts that drove the generators — 12 of them, at $1,600 each in 1952 — and the idea the old machine might be brought back to life someday soon.

“It’ll probably never run another piece of machinery, but if it just runs, that’ll really be something,” he said.

case in the House financial reform bill. Keeping the agency at the Federal Reserve would mean no new costs for smaller banks.

The banks also would prefer that the Fed have more involvement in the rulemaking process at the new consumer agency, since it already is familiar with community banks, Verdier said.

Merkley said the current bill does a relatively good job of giving the consumer agency independence from the rest of the Federal Reserve. But given the Fed’s failure to respond to the subprime mortgage crisis, he’d prefer that the agency be on its own.

“Because the Fed was in charge of consumer protection before and did such a poor job, I just feel like (the Consumer Financial Protection Agency) would be more accountable if they had independent status,” Merkley said.

Man says $150,000 scammed by psychic Defense attorney claims religious persecution

By Maxine Bernstein The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Drakar Druella was struggling with wrenching emotional problems last October when he walked into the Hawthorne Psychic Shop in southeast Portland for a palm reading and met Cathy Stevens.

Over the next seven weeks, he would give the psychic $150,000 in cash and gifts so she could rid him of his “negative energy” and heal him. Druella says the 39year-old woman was so convincing, he didn’t realize he was being scammed until he heard Stevens launch into the same story with another client.

“That’s when it all went ‘click, click, click,’” said Druella, 42, who called police in November and is now filing for personal bankruptcy. “The people she was taking advantage of were so vulnerable and in so much emotional pain.”

Portland police in January raided both the psychic shop and Stevens’ residence on Northeast Weidler Street, rented from former Police Chief Ron Still to investigators’ surprise. Police arrested Stevens on aggravated theft allegations. The charges were dropped, pending more investigation.

Since then, Detective Andy Madden has identified three other victims, and is continuing to investigate what appears to be a fraud conspiracy, deputy City Attorney Ellen Osoinach said in Multnomah County Circuit Court this week.

Stevens’ attorney, John Neidig, says his client didn’t prey on anyone, and argues that Druella was her business partner who was investing in their spiritual operation. Neidig, who represented Clackamas County faith-healing parent Raylene Worthington, says Stevens is the victim of religious persecution.

“It’s certainly evident from the search warrant affidavit that police hold religious animus against my client and her heritage,” said Neidig, pointing out that a heading in the police affidavit reads:

“I’ve never seen anybody as convincing as her. She could cry on will. Her display of emotion and authenticity. She becomes what you want and need her to be.”

— Drakar Druella, alleged victim of fortune telling fraud Gypsies and Fortune Telling Fraud.

He called the affidavit shocking, for “characterizing a certain group of people as being swindlers and fraudulent.”

“Cathy has nothing more than the overwhelming desire to help people, and she’s pretty talented at it.”

Druella, who was struggling with his gender identity after undergoing a sex change, said Stevens told him she sensed his “twin-flame energy,” and used Catholic symbolism that resonated with Druella, who was raised Catholic. She connected with him in a way that other spiritual teachers had not.

‘Negative energy’ According to the police search warrant affidavit and an interview with Druella, he first paid Stevens $265 for advice on Oct. 8. She told him he had “negative energy” and a demon attached to him, and she could help him get rid of it.

But in order to do so, she said she’d need $22,000 to buy a “tabernacle” and she’d conduct an exorcism. She instructed him not to say anything to others and also asked him to turn over to her his personal journals.

Druella, who has an associate’s degree from Portland Community College and works as a bookkeeper and office manager for a management consulting firm in

downtown Portland, agreed.

He said Stevens then told him she needed a vehicle to take her to a remote mountainous area to help transport his negative energy away. On Oct. 11, they both went to an auto dealership, where he got a loan and bought an H-3T Hummer in his name for $45,940. He says he gave Stevens the Hummer so she could continue to do spiritual work on his behalf.

Four Rolex watches Druella said he grew to view Stevens like a “mom” and believed she was “saving” him from death. On one occasion, he went to Lloyd Center with Stevens, and bought four Rolex watches, totaling $37,840. Stevens told him she needed a special component in the watches, also to use toward his healing, he said.

“I’ve never seen anybody as convincing as her. She could cry on will. Her display of emotion and authenticity. She becomes what you want and need her to be,” Druella said.

San Francisco fraud investigator Greg Ovanessian, who teaches nationally about fortune-telling frauds, transient criminals and the gypsy culture, said the question often is raised: “How can someone be so stupid to give this much money for some ritual? It’s easier for people to say when they don’t have a real understanding of the situation most of these clients, or victims, are in,” he said.

“They’re essentially in a very vulnerable state and are susceptible to suggestion and trickery. People want to believe that things are going to get better. That doesn’t mean they deserve to be ripped off.”

Madden and Druella suspect that other victims may be too humiliated to come forward. “To others, I’d say, please speak up.

Don’t be ashamed,” Druella said.

“Though I’m embarrassed and humiliated, this is about someone who is a predator, who preys upon the vulnerable.”

MOM, ALWAYS

By Alandra Johnson • The Bulletin

I

t’s Mother’s Day. To celebrate this holiday, we interviewed a collection of local moms who shared stories about their kids, how becoming a mom changed them and how they manage

to make it work.

Labor of love Nearly every day Teresa Brunson is at work, she sees an incredible transformation take place. This labor and delivery nurse at St. Charles Bend witnesses the moment when moms and dads encounter their babies for the first time.

“All of a sudden, it’s not just about their lives anymore. They have a new thing they’re living for,” said Brunson. And she says you can see that change the first second the baby arrives and the parents lock eyes on the infant.

Redmond mom Teresa Brunson, 28, loves spending time with her family, including, from left, husband Matthew, 31, son Gage, 3, and daughter Gabriella, 1. Brunson works as a labor and delivery nurse at St. Charles Bend.

Sherry Tran, 32, loves playing with her kids, from left, Elijah, 8, Asher, 4, and Mayah, 6. Tran once thought she was going to be a career woman, but her perspective changed when her first child was born. “Now I’m everything mother and family,” she said.

Heart of Idaho’s panhandle Beautiful Coeur d’Alene offers history, recreation

Volunteer training set for Friday St. Charles Cancer Care will hold a training session from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 14 for volunteers interested in taking part in the Support Sisters/Support Brothers program.

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — One of the most beautiful places in the Pacific Northwest is Idaho’s Coeur d’Alene Lake. When the sun shines, its deep blue water offers a spectacular contrast to the dense pine forest that N O R T H W E S T enshrouds its 135TR AVE L mile shoreline.

Coeur d’Alene Next week: has been compared to Lake Tahoe in Port Townsend, Wash.

California, and Yellowstone Lake in Wyoming. It’s less commercial than Tahoe, however, and more accessible than Yellowstone.

In other words, it’s the best of both worlds.

Last week, however, Coeur d’Alene (core-duhLANE) may have been one of the five rainiest lakes on the planet. After two full days of steady drizzle had bathed the region, a fierce thunderstorm raked the normally hospitable waters.

SPOTLIGHT

Author, dietitian plan diabetes talk

Barb Gonzalez / For The Bulletin

Dense pine forest surrounds the 135-mile shoreline of Coeur d’Alene Lake, at the heart of Idaho’s “panhandle.” The city of Coeur d’Alene stands on the northern shore of the 25-milelong natural body of water.

An author and a local dietitian will speak at a program geared for people with diabetes from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday at First Presbyterian Church, 230 N.E. Ninth St., Bend. Janet Meirelles, a nurse and author of “Diabetes is not a Piece of Cake,” and Carol Schrader, a registered dietitian at St. Charles Bend, will both talk for about 45 minutes and take questions. The event is free and open to the public.

Contact: First Presbyterian Church; 541382-4401.

Congregation prays for relief from choir director’s wife Dear Abby: Our small church choir has a talented volunteer director. His wife, “Martha,” is an energetic and animated soprano who has a reasonably good voice in her range.

Unfortunately, Martha sings louder than all of the other choir members, and she ends many songs by trying to reach a final high note. The problem is her high notes are often flat and sound more like a cat’s scream.

No one likes it.

The congregation is held hostage to Martha’s screams because they’re afraid of losing her husband’s free directing services. How can we convince Martha to cut out the high notes?

— Covering Our Ears on the West Coast Dear Covering: Because Martha’s improvisations are distracting the congregation — which I assume is larger than the choir — your spiritual leader should have a private chat with the director and explain that “the congregation” would prefer the choir perform the hymns exactly as they are written. It should get the message across without being personally offensive. And it’s not as if you’re all asking that his wife not perform, just that she tone it down.

Dear Abby: I was in line at the pharmacy yesterday and one clerk was on duty with the pharmacist. I waited my turn and asked for my prescription.

She had to go check on it, so I sat down to wait. In the meantime, two other customers came in and waited in line. The clerk called my name, then asked me to get back in line. Shouldn’t I have been taken care of next?

— Annoyed in Victorville, Calif.

Dear Annoyed: I’m not sure there are rules of etiquette for counter service at a pharmacy, but common sense dictates that the customers be taken care of in an efficient manner. I see nothing efficient about making someone who has started being served wait longer — particularServing Central Oregon Since 1946

ly if the clerk might also have to check on the prescriptions of the customers who came after you did. You should have been taken care of next.

Dear Abby: Two women carrying a baby in an infant car seat entered the gift shop where my sister works. The grandmother asked my sister if they could leave the baby behind the counter while they shopped. My sister politely told them it was against store policy.

They proceeded to shop, putting the carrier down in the middle of the aisle while they browsed — leaving it unattended at times.

The grandmother bought a few items, then told my sister she might not shop there anymore because of the policy of not supervising infants while customers shop. My sister has dealt with many customer-related issues, but this one left her speechless.

Employees assist customers, but they do not baby-sit. Also, leaving a child with a stranger is dangerous and could lead to potentially serious situations that parents may regret. What’s your opinion on this issue?

— Speechless in Ohio Dear Speechless: Your sister was right to inform the grandmother about the store’s policy.

P P After 48 years, class ring is returned In 1962, I lost my University of Oregon class ring in the backyard of a home in Poulsbo, Wash. I had just graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelor of science degree. The ring had the initials “ATO” on the green stone, and my initials were engraved on the inside.

In 1962, I was at a family reunion in Poulsbo when the ring was lost in the backyard of a home that is now owned by Lynn Baumgartner. In 2008, Lynn was digging in her garden planting strawberries when she hit some glinting metal. The metal was all tangled up with roots.

Lynn thought it was a soda can tab. She was going to leave it, but something pushed her to dig a little further and check it out. It was the class ring.

With the help of the National Alpha Tau Omega headquarters, she tried to find the owner of the ring in April of 2008, but was not successful. In March of 2010, she saw my picture, with my Oregon hat, on Facebook and knowing my e-mail, she contacted me.

In April of 2010, she mailed the ring to me here in Bend. The ring

was in great shape with only minor damage to the band.

My thanks to Lynn Baumgartner and the National Headquarters of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity for their help and persistence in solving the 48-year mystery of my Oregon class ring.

Travel Continued from C1 The tempest forced fishing vessels and cruise boats, as well as the lake’s ubiquitous ospreys, to take cover for an afternoon and evening.

The storms dampened my visit, but they didn’t dowse my enthusiasm for this beautiful 25-mile-long lake. Located 400 miles northeast of Bend in the chimneylike segment of Idaho that extends like a stovepipe to the border of Canada, Lake Coeur d’Alene sits at the heart of an area that — not unlike Bend — has a little of everything.

Its hub is the small city of Coeur d’Alene, often referred to in this region as “CdA.” The 18story main tower of The Coeur d’Alene Resort, which rises high above the lakefront at the foot of Tubbs Hill, gives an immediate identity to the community of nearly 40,000 people.

To the south of Coeur d’Alene is the namesake lake, its southern half embraced by the sprawling Coeur d’Alene Indian Reservation. To the north are more lakes, small and large, among them massive Lake Pend Oreille (pond-oh-RAY). North and west, a series of communities spill across the Washington state line toward metropolitan Spokane, 30 miles distant, increasing the greater CdA population to well over 100,000. East of Coeur d’Alene, Interstate 90 winds toward the Montana border, running through a series of historic mining towns that once made this region the center of the silver-mining universe.

A little history For thousands of years, before explorers of European ancestry arrived in this lush expanse, Salish-speaking American Indians made a home here in the foothills of the Bitterroot Range. FrenchCanadian fur trappers, frustrated by the tribe’s astuteness in trading (they wouldn’t swap valuable furs for cheap, shiny trinkets), declared that they had “coeurs d’alênes,” or “hearts like awls.” The name stuck.

The completion in 1862 of the Mullan Road, connecting Puget Sound with the headwaters of the Missouri River in Montana, opened the doors to white settlement in the region. The 624-mile road, which crossed the Bitterroots and followed the South Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River, initially served as a pioneer and military road and as a supply route for the Northern Pacific Railroad. But the lake remained largely unsettled until 1877, when Fort Sherman was established (in the wake of the Battle of the Little Bighorn and the Nez Perce War) to control what Congress then referred to as “the Indian problem.”

General William Tecumseh Sherman, the Civil War hero, recommended a 1,000-acre site where the Spokane River leaves Coeur d’Alene Lake. As it turned out, according to the Museum of North Idaho, the region’s “problem” was minimal, as Coeur d’Alene natives quickly embraced Catholicism.

But the militia was instrumental in building northern Idaho’s first sawmill and providing support for the nearby Silver Valley mining boom of the 1880s. By the time the post was abandoned, after its entire garrison was sent to fight in the Spanish-American War in 1898, Coeur d’Alene was a bustling village, a transportation hub built on the logging and mining industries.

The original fort grounds today are the site of City Park,

A sign at the corner of Sixth and Bank streets in Wallace declares this place the “Center of the Universe.” It was so designated by a team of visiting geologists, and today, locals declare: “Try to prove it’s not!” with its lovely lakeside beach, and the two-year North Idaho College, which has incorporated the former officers’ quarters and chapel. The adjacent Museum of North Idaho also administers the small Fort Sherman Museum, lodged in the fort’s powder house.

Today, Sherman Avenue is the main (one-way eastbound) street of downtown Coeur d’Alene.

One block lakeside of Lakeside Avenue (which runs one-way westbound), it’s lined with independently owned shops and cafes. And the avenue is the focus of a summer-long calendar of festivals that include farmers markets, art fairs, athletic events and the well-known Car d’Lane classic auto show in June.

Prominent on the south side of Sherman Avenue, near Figpickels Toy Emporium, is a whimsical statue of a moose. So popular is “Mudgy & Millie,” a children’s book written by local author Susan Nipp, that the city parks department has created a 2¼-mile trail along the Coeur d’Alene lakeshore depicting Mudgy Moose’s search for Millie Mouse, who is hiding very close by. Five bronze statues by artist Terry Lee add illustration to the story line. (Readers with children may want to surf to www. mudgyandmillie.com; and check the antlers.)

Year-round recreation The first stop on the Mudgy & Millie Trail is at Tubbs Hill, a wooded bluff that reaches into the lake opposite Sixth and Front streets. A 2-mile loop walking trail around the hillside park is a brief introduction to the many outdoor opportunities available to CdA visitors.

For trail lovers, whether on

An abandoned silver mine rises up a hillside just off Interstate 90 at the Bitterroot mountain village of Osburn. Beginning in 1885, more than $5 billion in silver was mined in the Coeur d’Alene Mining District. foot or bicycle, there are longdistance links galore. The Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes is a 72mile paved trail that runs downhill from Mullan, near Lookout Pass on the Montana state line, to Plummer, in the heart of the Coeur d’Alene Reservation, on the converted track of a former mine train that ran until 1992. It crosses 40 bridges, goes through 13 towns, and circles the south end of Coeur d’Alene Lake.

The Route of the Hiawatha winds 15 miles along the IdahoMontana border, through tunnels and across trestles at the top of the Bitterroots; it doesn’t even open until Memorial Day weekend to be sure hibernating bears have evacuated the tunnels. A less challenging path is the 24mile North Idaho Centennial Trail, which follows the Spokane River from the Washington state line to downtown CdA. In winter, the Silver Mountain Resort at Kellogg, a half-hour’s drive east of CdA, is home to the longest single-stage gondola in the world, according to the Inland Northwest Ski Association.

Running 3.1 miles, from just off I-90 to the upper slopes of 6,300foot Kellogg Peak, the lift serves a ski-and-snowboarding resort that has taken on a Tirolean ambience to complement its mining heritage. In summer, the resort serves mountain bikers and offers a large indoor water park.

But Coeur d’Alene Lake is the No. 1 recreational focus for water lovers. It’s a place for swimming, boating, jet skiing, sailing and many other activities, including fishing (kokanee and chinook salmon, as well as northern pike). I had looked forward to venturing onto the water with Lake Coeur d’Alene Cruises, which offers three 90-minute cruises per day in the summer months at a price of less than $20 per person. Alas, the lightning dissuaded me, as well as the boat’s operators.

On days such as this one, wa-

ter lovers may find refuge in the new $60 million Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Community Corps Center. A large aquatics center is a part of the 123,000square-foot facility, which opened on 12 acres on the north side of CdA just a year ago. The center has arts, fitness and recreational programming as well as a center of worship.

Silverwood and Sandpoint My idea of a family water park, however, is more akin to what’s offered at the Silverwood Theme Park, 15 miles north of CdA on U.S. Highway 95.

C OV ER S T ORY Visiting Coeur d’Alene, Idaho EXPENSES (FOR TWO)

Photos by Barb Gonzalez / For The Bulletin

The Corkscrew is one of four roller coasters at the Silverwood Theme Park north of Coeur d’Alene. It was moved to Idaho from Knott’s Berry Farm in California, where it was the first coaster in the United States to take riders upsidedown.

From previous page A town unto itself, Silverwood was established in 1988 by inventor and entrepreneur Gary Norton. Launched with a Victorian-mining-town appearance, it grew slowly at first, but it has become the largest theme park in the Northwest with more than 65 rides and other attractions.

Still owned by the Norton family, Silverwood draws more than a half-million visitors during its six-month (May through October) season.

Within the 220-acre park are four roller coasters, including two classic “woodies,” and other adrenaline-pumping rides like the 140-foot-tall Panic Plunge drop tower. One of the coasters, Tremors, plunges 103 feet into an underground tunnel before bursting through the center of a gift shop. Another, Corkscrew, was moved from Knott’s Berry Farm in California, where it was the first coaster in the United States to take riders upsidedown.

The Boulder Beach Water Park offers two giant wave pools and a series of oversized water slides.

Tamer diversions in the park include a midway arcade, a country carnival, theater shows, restaurants and live entertainment of various kinds. General admission is $41.99 for a full day in the park, although special-event discounts are frequently available.

Silverwood is not quite half way between Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint, a quiet, artsy town of 7,000 people on the north shore of Lake Pend Oreille. Like much of northern Idaho, Sandpoint has wrestled for many years with an unfortunate reputation as a hotbed of militant conservatism.

Several locals assured me that is far from the truth.

“Sure, we have survivalists up in the hills,” said Kathy Friedman, who owns Zero Point Crystals with her husband, William.

“But you never see them, except for maybe once or twice a year when they come into town to shop. The Aryan Nation enclave (formerly at Hayden Lake) is gone. Ruby Ridge is a thing of the past.”

Sandpoint today is best known as the home of the Schweitzer Mountain resort, Idaho’s secondlargest ski area after Sun Valley, and as a depot for Amtrak passenger trains. The two come together to make Schweitzer a rapidly growing resort destination and a popular place for real estate development, at least before the current market downturn.

On clear days, the views from the mountainside south across Lake Pend Oreille are among the most spectacular in the West.

Pend Oreille, after all, is even larger and deeper than Lake Coeur d’Alene. It’s 43 miles long, 6 miles wide and 1,225 feet deep.

During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt designated the lake as a huge naval training

Today the base, which once was home to 50,000 military men, is encompassed by 4,180-acre Farragut State Park, at the lake’s southwestern tip, 4 miles east of U.S. Highway 95.

A couple of other sites on Lake Pend Oreille are minor tourist draws. At least one of them could eventually get much more attention. The Bird Aviation Museum & Invention Center honors Dr. Forrest Bird, 88, a former navy pilot who invented the first practical medical respirator. On his estate overlooking the lake, 12 miles east of U.S. Highway 95 via Sagle Road, are displayed some 20 of his personal collection of aircraft (dating back to 1929), and a hall of fame of great inventors. Opened in July 2007, the museum is a popular place for school visits and corporate retreats.

Right on the main highway, 12 miles south of Sandpoint, is Wolf People. Owner Nancy Taylor welcomes visitors twice daily (except Saturdays) to tour her natural wolf sanctuary on nearby Lake Cocolalla. Taylor has owned the private habitat since 1993. Tours depart from the house beside the highway where, at any time of day, a pair of penned wolves may greet visitors. I was warned, however, to be careful; they do bite.

The Silver Valley East of Coeur d’Alene, up the I-90 corridor, the terrain is more forbidding. It was here that the great mining rush of the late 19th century took place, and persisted almost through the entire 20th century.

early as the 1860s, when Mullan Road was built. But it wasn’t until 1881 that the report was confirmed. Within four years, more than 10,000 prospectors were panning the river and sluicing the slopes. But by that time, silver had also been discovered on the south side of a nearby ridge.

Wallace, now a town of about 1,000 people, 49 miles east of Coeur d’Alene, became the hub of the richest mining district the world has ever seen, according to the Wallace District Mining Museum. In the next 100 years, more than 1.1 billion ounces of silver, valued at more than $5 billion, were extracted from the Earth. Local historians say that is more silver than has been taken from all other mines, anywhere, combined.

Today, Wallace has been recognized as the Center of the Universe. Signs on all four corners of Sixth and Bank streets say so. The curator at the Wallace District Mining Museum credited the “discovery” to a team of geologists visiting from Montana Tech in Butte, Mont. “Try to prove it’s not!” she said with a smile.

the moment; put your cell phone away and stay in the moment.�

Continued from C1 Brunson, 28, also knows that transformative experience first hand. The Redmond resident is the mother of Gage, 3, and Gabriella, whose first birthday is today.

Becoming a nurse was an easy choice for Brunson, who always knew she wanted to help people. During school, when she rotated to work on the labor and delivery floor, she knew she had found her career. Her son was 6 months old when she started working there full time. Brunson offers her own personal experiences to help new moms — everything from tips on breastfeeding to which diaper brand she prefers. She can also easily relate to new parents’ sleep deprivation and stress.

Brunson always knew she wanted to be a mom. She grew up in a family of seven kids.

All of them, plus her folks, live in Redmond; and all of her brothers and sisters have kids of their own. Brunson’s mom stayed at home with the kids and was a “very impressive role model.�

Brunson treasures the little moments of being a mother, like when her son says “I adore you, Mom,� or just watching her kids’ faces light up when she walks into a room. Now she can’t imagine her life without her kids.

Brunson and her husband, Matt, 31, are active and like taking the kids to a lake or camping. Gabriella was just 2 weeks old when she went onto a lake for the first time.

Brunson sees herself as very relaxed. Sometimes her house is messy, but she just goes with the flow. She focuses more on doling out hugs, kisses and love rather than keeping everything perfect.

Leaving her kids behind three days a week is tough on Brunson, but it helps that she adores her job. She gets to watch new dads and new moms tear up as they see their new son or daughter for the first time. “It absolutely changes you as a person,� said Brunson. “It’s the best gift in the world.�

Bend mom Cynthia Kane and her son Geoffrey Zath traveled to Paris last summer. man, Greg Zath, who shared her feelings.

Then, at about age 32, something changed. By the time Kane was 36, she had a son, Geoffrey.

And now they can’t imagine living without him. “There’s no experience ever in life like having a child,� said Kane, now 55. “You don’t really know the depth of love.�

Now Geoffrey is 19 and a freshman at Oregon State University. Kane says she and her husband miss him. She misses the family dynamic they shared.

Kane’s feelings about children shifted entirely. Now she loves kids. She and her husband continue to attend sporting events at Summit High School, and she plans to volunteer to work with students next fall.

Kane also misses cooking for her son. Food is huge for her family and she nurtures through food. She made Geoffrey highprotein smoothies during football season and cooked “every kind of vegetable soup� after he had jaw surgery and was on a liquid diet for weeks. Sometimes she’d whip up a homemade ragout with ground veal and pork in a sauce made from scratch; or a pot pie with cheddar cheese, fresh thyme and lemon, plus homemade crust. (She closes her eyes and says “Oh, it’s really good.�)

Kane feels blessed, as Geoffrey has always been easy and good, academically focused and motivated.

Kane worked while raising Geoffrey, first as an executive for BlueCross BlueShield, then as a health care consultant. While living in Portland, she switched to being a consultant because she found the workload of being an executive and a parent exhaust-

She says being an older mom helped her stay relaxed as a parent; she says she never felt out of place. Because Geoffrey was an only child, Kane and her husband could take the time to savor every moment. “Absolutely, because you knew that was it. You knew that was you’re only chance.�

That’s the one piece of advice she got that really sticks with her — to hold your baby and look at your baby and recognize how fast the time goes. “Really stay in

Ask Bend resident Sherry Tran about her kids and her face lights up and she starts talking.

The oldest, Eli, 8, is a perfectionist with a huge heart. He’s protective, active and silly. Mayah, 6, is everyone’s friend. She’s loving and wants to please. She’s also very creative and smart. Asher, 4, is a happy-go-lucky ball of energy. He’s silly and sweet.

Tran, 32, raises her three kids on her own and has since 2007, when she moved to Bend. She thought she was going to be a career woman, but once Eli was born her perspective changed. “Now, I’m everything mother and family,� said Tran. “It changed me to be less arrogant and more humble.�

Providing a safe, secure environment for her kids is at the forefront of Tran’s mind. She says they are domestic violence survivors and says she works with her kids on recovering from that. Offering emotional support for her kids is important to Tran.

She encourages them to read and write in their journals every day.

Tran works as a licensed massage therapist and also serves as a Vietnamese translator. Tran, who values education and has a master’s degree in dispute resolution and conflict management, also does a lot of volunteer work for the preschool development program Head Start. Asher, who has some developmental delays, attends Head Start.

Debra Row spends a lot of time shuttling her kids from their home in Prineville to school in Redmond and sporting events all over Central Oregon. But for her, it’s worth the effort to help her kids, from left, Austin, 14, Lauren, 11, and Katelyn, 7.

From previous page Tran also finds creative ways to provide for her kids. For instance, she has bartered massage treatments with a local skateboarder who then gives lessons to her kids.

She likes living in Bend and thinks it’s a good community with good programs for her kids.

She does worry sometimes about raising her Asian children in the community, as the children have received a few negative comments about their ethnicity.

In general, Tran says that while they celebrate some Vietnamese holidays and sing some Vietnamese songs, she wants them to make their own culture and create their own family traditions. “I want them to embrace everything.”

Mostly Tran wants to spend as much time with her three kids as possible. They like playing and being active together, which includes singing and dancing.

They’ve recently built a bird feeder together. Tran says playing checkers is big right now and when it gets warmer, they like to have marshmallow fights. They also read stories together and have family movie nights.

“I can’t be everything for them, but I can be their support,” said Tran. “They are sweet kids and I’m glad to be their mom.”

Caravan of support “Being a mom is what I do. It’s a full-time job,” said Debra Row. The mom of three lives with her husband on a large property

in the Ochocos, 9 miles east of Prineville. Row calls the 460 acres of meadows and trees an oasis for her family. But with the oasis comes a lot of miles in the car.

Row, 40, starts her days at 5:15 a.m. By 6:30 a.m. Row, son Austin, 14, and daughters Lauren, 11, and Katelyn, 7, are on the road.

First stop is Katelyn’s school, Powell Butte Elementary School.

Then Row drives to Redmond, where she drops off her two oldest at Obsidian Middle School.

The children go to Redmond for school in part because Row believes it offers them a greater variety of opportunities.

While the kids go to school, Row typically spends time at a small apartment the family rents in town, where she works on billing and accounts for her husband, Steve, who is a dentist. After school, the action picks back up, as her kids take part in a host of sports, including volleyball, soccer, football and basketball.

Sometimes volleyball practice takes place in Sisters; sometimes games are in south Bend.

“After school can be a challenge,” says Row. Being organized is key. But Row thinks the values the kids learn in sports are well worth the effort.

She believes it fosters dedication, commitment and teamwork.

And while all of the organizing and coordinating can be tricky, she tries to make sure not to lose herself. “You have to make time for yourself,” said Row. That may mean going for a bike ride or chatting with friends.

Row also feels lucky and grateful for the opportunity to be a fulltime mom (the term “stay at home” doesn’t quite seem to apply to this mom’s schedule). She recognizes that not every family could financially support this choice and says she appreciates her husband for making it happen. “I’m the luckiest mom in the world.”

For the most part, the kids take a break during the summer.

The family piles into their motor home for mini vacations. And Row encourages them to have plenty of unstructured free time on their property.

Row says her most fulfilling moments as a parent come when she watches her children achieving their dreams and seeing them get excited about something.

Whether her children end up as doctors or painters, she says she’ll be satisfied. “Whatever our kids decide to do in life, we’ll be happy.” Mostly Row wants them to be happy and healthy.

Row takes her role as a mom seriously. She works hard to expose her kids to new experiences and opportunities. “There are times when I perceive myself as a cheerleader, a nurturer, a teacher, a friend, an advocate and more. Each child is unique and I believe it is important to be able to adapt to their individual needs, which is part of what makes motherhood the most challenging, yet most rewarding job in the world.”

Travel Continued from C5 The entire community of Wallace has been designated a National Historic District. It has a rail museum (the Northern Pacific Railroad Depot Museum) and a brothel museum (the Oasis Bordello Museum) in addition to the District Mining Museum. The Sierra Silver Mine offers visitors a chance to tour an abandoned silver mine with retired miners who share their own stories and demonstrate the operation of hard-rock mining equipment.

Not only has Wallace been the home of movie stars — Lana Turner was born in Wallace — it’s a movie star in its own right.

When “Heaven’s Gate” (1980) was filmed here, the movie company took over the town for several weeks. When “Dante’s Peak” (1997) was in production, the large hill next to town was digitally altered to look like a volcano.

The great fire of 1910 nearly took Wallace off the map. In July of that year, hot continental winds fanned several hundred smaller blazes into a single giant inferno that raged across the entire Bitterroot Range. More than 4,600 square miles in 21 national forests were destroyed in the fire, which also took 80 firefighters’ lives.

Seattle author Timothy Egan tells the story of the fire in his 2009 book, “The Big Burn.” One episode tells of forest ranger Edward Pulaski, who saved most of his 45-member crew by holding them at gunpoint inside an abandoned mine shaft while the fire raged outside. Today the 2-mile Pulaski Trail, which begins a mile south of Wallace via King Street, leads to the mine.

And Pulaski’s name lives on in the modern half-axe, half-pick firefighting tool known as — what else? — the pulaski.

The largest town in the Silver Valley is Kellogg, with a population of around 2,500. Once home to the Bunker Hill Mine, with more than 180 miles of underground passages, it is now best known as the home of the Silver Mountain resort. But its historic

Barb Gonzalez / For The Bulletin

The Northern Pacific Railroad Depot Museum is a landmark in the historic town of Wallace. Construction began in 1862 on a transcontinental rail line that provided access to the mines of the Silver Valley. downtown buildings are still worth a wander for those interested in mining heritage.

One more site of historic interest is located just outside the village of Cataldo, 25 miles east of CdA. The Old Mission of the Sacred Heart is Idaho’s oldest structure, raised on a hilltop above the Coeur d’Alene River Valley in 1853. The Jesuit fathers didn’t have much difficulty converting the native tribes to Catholicism, as Coeur d’Alene Chief Circling Raven had previously related to his people a vision of men wearing black robes bringing a great spiritual truth from another land. The tribes assisted in the construction of the mission, constructed entirely by hand. Now a National Historic Landmark, it was made an Idaho State Park in 1975.

Resort central There is no better place in northern Idaho than The Coeur d’Alene Resort. I am very, very impressed by this property, and not just because of its facilities. Built in 1986 by the Hagadone Corp., which has publishing and marine divisions as well as hospitality enterprises, this top-end resort makes the “regular guy” feel welcome.

The hotel’s tower, which contains 337 guest rooms, affords gorgeous southward-looking views down the lake. The view includes a 372-slip marina that is

surrounded by what is said to be the world’s longest floating boardwalk at 3,300 feet. Those who choose to stay elsewhere can dine at Beverly’s restaurant, on the tower’s seventh floor, to get the same view while enjoying a taste of a $1.5 million wine collection.

The resort has a marvelous spa, an 18-hole golf course that boasts the world’s only “floating” green (golfers take a boat to the island after pitching onto the green), lake cruises and boat rentals, a shopping plaza, seven restaurants and a half-dozen lounges.

Even more so — and this is what really stood out to me — it is staffed by people who always wear smiles and who really seem to enjoy their jobs. Indeed, company partners Duane Hagadone and Jerry Jaeger are CdA natives who employ other longtime locals in nearly every position, making the resort a part of the community rather than apart from the community.

“This resort became an anchor for the community when it was built,” said Bill Reagan, who has been general manager since 1988. “Then downtown took off with a character of its own. It’s as if the hotel created a center from which Coeur d’Alene could grow.”

Courtney Love’s new album is music therapy ers are barely old enough to remember her first act.

“Nobody’s Daughter” sometimes taps into grunge nostalgia with its loud-soft alt-rock tropes and minor key melodies; there is a classic rock feel, too, courtesy of the new band. Love mentioned “The Wall” by Pink Floyd (“but only the slower, good parts”) as a touchstone for songs like “Letter to God” and “Somebody Else’s Bed.” Lyrically “Nobody’s Daughter” recounts the depths of Love’s fall, but avoids blame or self-pity, tackling instead destructive relationships and themes of salvation and transformation.

By Anthony Bozza New York Times News Service

Courtney Love’s room at the Mercer Hotel in SoHo was a study in chaos. Racks of clothing, from 1920s vintage to this season’s Miu Miu, lined two walls. The floor was littered with boxes of photos. Empty coffee cups, half-finished bottles of juice, opened bags of candy, overflowing ashtrays and stacks of books on Buddhism and psychology were seemingly everywhere. And at the center of it all, at once manic and serene, brash and vulnerable, sat Love, watching on a battered laptop YouTube videos of her duet with the Irish singer Gavin on Friday at a benefit for Red, an African AIDS charity, at Carnegie Hall.

Just 24 hours before that appearance, she said, she was performing with the former Guns N’ Roses rockers Slash and Duff McKagan at a hotel anniversary party in Las Vegas. “I don’t know anyone else who could do that,” she said. “Those are two very different worlds, and I’ve got one foot in each of them.”

Since the release of her solo album, “America’s Sweetheart,” in 2004, a flop that she refers to as “le desastre” or “that piece of trash I made in the south of France,” Love’s life has been even messier than her room. At breakneck speed, in improbably coherent rants, she cataloged much of it: drug abuse and rehab, her “dire” financial situation, losing custody of her teenage daughter, legal troubles, online tantrums.

“As a dear friend pointed out to me recently, nothing good ever comes from Twitter,” she said.

But now she’s concentrating on “taming the Courtney Monster,” she explained. Essential to this project is “Nobody’s Daughter,” her new album made with a new version of her 1990s band Hole, released April 27. It took four years, several producers, various dust-ups and a few million dollars of her own funds, she said, but somehow she managed to finish it. And it’s poised to be her best-received work since Hole’s 1994 grunge opus “Live Through This.” In this comeback- and reunion-obsessed moment in pop, Love, 45, may pull off the most surprising resurrection of all.

“I like the word comeback,”

Always a work in progress Brian van der Brug / Los Angeles Times

Courtney Love and her now-reconstituted band Hole returned to the stage at the Henry Ford Theatre/ Music Box on April 21. Love “went all in” on her new album “Nobody’s Daughter,” released on April 27. “I bet the farm on this record, which is dangerous, but great in a way, because when you do that, you have nowhere else to go.” she said. “In your career a comeback is like you’ve just stepped outside for a cigarette.”

Love has turned adversity into success before. “Live Through This” was released just days after her husband, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, committed suicide and two months before Hole’s bass player, Kristen Pfaff, died of an overdose. The album and ensuing tour were critical and commercial successes, lauded for their cathartic energy.

But Love then traded in her smeared-makeup look for a Hollywood makeover, complete with additional plastic surgery, and turned to acting. She earned a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Milos Forman’s 1996 film “The People vs. Larry Flynt” and began a four-year relationship with the actor Edward Norton. In 1998 she was the face of a Versace campaign shot by Richard Avedon. Another wellreceived, platinum album followed, “Celebrity Skin” (1998).

Love had transcended her gritty rock ’n’ roll past and become a cultured, free-spirited bohemian in the eyes of the mainstream. Her gift was knowing how — and when — to play each

side to her advantage.

But then it all started to slip away, as Love’s abuse of cocaine and prescription pills took a toll.

She became a tabloid regular, famous for behavior like flashing her breasts at David Letterman.

It was hard to imagine her ever being taken seriously again. “I have lived the worst parts of my life in public,” she said earnestly, “and now my band and I have made a relevant record.”

“I went all in,” she added. “I bet the farm on this record, which is dangerous, but great in a way, because when you do that, you have nowhere else to go. There is no Plan B.” Reviews of Hole’s live shows in London in February and at the South by Southwest Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas, last month have been mostly positive, often to the critics’ surprise. But Love has her work cut out for her as a 40-something rock singer in the age of Lady Gaga; college-aged record buy-

In person, Love is thoroughly engaging, staring with intense blue eyes as she seems to vent every feeling, morphing from elated to irate and back again as quickly as she changes topics in conversation. She will answer any question, but circuitously, dipping into literature, art, film, fashion and music in detail along the way. She is aware that her professed transformation is a work in progress. “I’ve sent that

girl away for the summer,” she said of the Bad Courtney. “I have too much to do to deal with her.

She’s been sent away to a camp to be properly socialized.”

But before Love can fully embrace this next phase of her life and career, she said, she must leave her past behind. In 2006 she sold 25 percent of Nirvana’s music publishing, of which Cobain’s estate owns 98 percent, for an estimated $50 million.

(She says most of that has gone to taxes, lawyers and scams by a variety of shadowy institutions.)

“I’m thinking about selling off all of Kurt’s publishing,” she said.

“All of the rights, everything. It’s not a financial decision; it’s an emotional one.

“He was the best friend I’ve ever had, but Kurt and I were only married for three years, and now I need to have my own life,” she added. “I’m always ‘the widow,’ and that drives me nuts.

That money has been cursed since the day it started to come in.”

She looked down at her shoes.

“It’s also that it’s not really my money,” she said. “I don’t want Kurt Cobain to buy me shoes anymore. I want to buy my own shoes — lots of them.”

Across the country his star pupil wasn’t finding much to laugh about as he made his way around TPC Sawgrass just trying to make the cut.

Why Haney was taping a reality show with Ray Romano instead of working with Tiger Woods wasn’t exactly clear,

especially when Woods’ swing is clearly a mess. Contrary to the rumors sweeping around the state of Florida, though, Woods said the swing coach was still solidly in his employ.

“Hank and I talk every day, so nothing’s changed,” Woods said.

Crook County’s Channele Fulton slides safely into home plate past Bend’s Aubrie Lund in the Cowgirls’ 11-4 victory over the Lava Bears in the second of two games at Bend High. Crook County won both games.

Cowgirls win a pair Bulletin staff report Bend High put on the pressure against Crook County in the two teams’ Intermountain Conference softball doubleheader Saturday, but the Cowgirls managed to sweep their host 18-8 and 11-4 to remain in contention for a Class 5A state postseason berth.

In the first game, Bend took a 4-3 lead after two innings. After Crook County rallied to grab a 7-4 advantage, the Lava Bears responded and tied the game 7-7.

The Cowgirls (8-10 IMC) kept scoring, though, adding two runs in the fifth inning and nine runs in the sixth to force an early end to the game, due to the 10-run rule.

“It was a little nerve racking... they stayed right with us,” said Crook County coach Tom Decker. “It was closer than I’d like until it got late in the game,” Paced by doubles from Sydney Waite, McKenna Ontko, Channele Fulton and Emily Gannon, the Cowgirls had 13 hits in the first game of the day.

Game two followed a similar story line.

The Lava Bears (1-17 IMC) found themselves on top 1-0 after the first inning but Crook County scored three runs in the second. The Cowgirls used aggressive base running and timely hits to increase their advantage to 6-1 by the fourth. A four-run sixth

inning sealed the victory for Crook County.

The Lava Bears’ Aubrie Lund provided a bright spot for the home team at the plate as she finished two for four with a double.

Crook County, which is now in fourth place in the IMC, wraps up league action with a series against the The Dalles-Wahtonka that starts on Wednesday. The Eagle Indians are second in league (15-3).

“That’s a tough row to hoe,” Decker notes about playing The Dalles-Wahtonka, which is 21-3 overall.

The Lava Bears will end their season next week with a three-game series against IMC leader Pendleton.

For the second consecutive year, the Intermountain Conference baseball championship could be decided by the Pendleton and Bend High series during the last week of the regular season.

The Lava Bears split their home doubleheader with Crook County on Saturday to improve to 13-5 in league play. The Buckaroos completed their three-game sweep of Mountain View the same day and are now 15-3 in the IMC. Also in contention for a league title is Madras, which is currently 13-5 as well.

Bend (14-9 overall) blew an early lead in its first game against the Cowboys. The Lava Bears led 3-1 after three innings and 4-2 following the completion of the fifth.

Sparked by J.R. Larimer’s two-run single, Crook County (2-16 IMC, 6-17) rallied for four runs in the top of the sixth inning to win the game.

Kyle Mecham earned the victory for the Cowboys, scattering seven hits over seven innings. Michael Hirko took the loss for Bend.

In game two, the Lava Bears were the team that rallied back. Bend trailed 4-0 after the top of the third inning, but the Bears scored six runs in their half of the inning to turn the game around. Grant Newton had a big day at the plate for Bend, twice sparking multi-run innings with a two-run double.

Steven Barrett added two hits, three runs scored and an RBI while Chris Zelmer ended the game with two doubles.

Wilson McLain went the distance on the mound for the Bears to record the win.

“To be quite honest I didn’t know what to expect because I’ve never really been in this situation. It’s been very, very enjoyable.”

— Mark McGwire, on becoming the hitting coach for the Cardinals after retiring from the game and his admission to using steroids

ST. LOUIS — In the dugout hubbub after David Freese’s third home run in four games, the rookie saved a special celebratory forearm shiver for the St. Louis Cardinals’ new hitting coach.

For Mark McGwire, it’s moments like this that have made his closely watched return to baseball worthwhile.

“To be quite honest I didn’t know what to expect because I’ve never really been in this situation,” McGwire said in an interview. “It’s been very, very enjoyable.”

It’s tough to call the rehabilitation of McGwire’s public image anything but a success. Earlier this week, the Cardinals traveled to their fifth National League city and, for the fifth time, there was no discernible public backlash for what was viewed during the winter as a controversial hire. No jeering fans, no “Cheaters Go Home!” banners, nothing.

Also on Saturday, welterweight Josh Koscheck defeated Paul Daley via unanimous decision to earn a title shot against Georges St. Pierre later this year.

Boxing • Cintron falls out of ring, Williams wins decision: Paul Williams earned a bizarre victory Saturday night when Kermit Cintron wasn’t allowed to continue after tumbling through the ropes and landing on a ringside table early in the fourth round in Carson, Calif. The 154-pound bout ended with Cintron strapped to a stretcher and wearing a neck brace, although he wanted to keep fighting. Williams (39-1, 27 KOs) was awarded a technical victory by split decision because he led on two of the three judges’ scorecards.

Denny Hamlin takes the checkered flag to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup series Southern 500 auto race at Darlington Raceway on Saturday in Darlington, S.C.

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Denny Hamlin became the first driver in 17 years to sweep Darlington Raceway, winning the Sprint Cup race Saturday night after late mistakes took Jeff Gordon and Jeff Burton out of contention.

Winner of the Nationwide Series race Friday night, Hamlin became the first driver since Mark Martin in 1993 to sweep the Darlington weekend. It was Hamlin’s first victory at NASCAR’s oldest superspeedway, and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has never finished lower than 13th in his five career starts at the difficult track.

“We had a top-two car all day,” Hamlin said. “Us, Jeff and the other Jeff were really strong.”

Hamlin led 104 of the 367 laps, but knew he was going to have to contend with both Gordon and Burton over the closing laps.

That changed during the final pit stops.

Gordon planned to pit early under green, but had to abort the effort at the last second to avoid a collision with the cars closing quickly behind him. When he finally entered pit road a lap later, a spin by David Reutimann brought out the last caution of the race and Gordon had to hustle back onto the track to avoid losing a lap.

All the leaders headed to pit road under yellow and Burton, who had traded the lead with Hamlin right before the caution, came out in third. Only NASCAR flagged him for running over his air hose, Burton had to return to the pits for a penalty, and lost a ton of track position.

Hamlin restarted in first with 20 laps to go, while Gordon was 12th and Burton 13th. Hamlin got a terrific restart in his Toyota over teammate Kyle Busch, then sailed to his third win of this season to tie four-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson for most wins this season in the Cup series.

“You can’t put this in words,” Hamlin said. “Just an unbelievable night. Pit road did a phenomenal job getting me back on the track first, and that’s what led to this win. We went back and forth all night and fine-tuned it to perfection at the end.

Right there at the end, it was the best it’s been all night. That’s all you can ask for.”

Jamie McMurray started from the pole and finished second in a Chevrolet, while Kurt Busch was third in a Dodge. Gordon came back from a late-race error to finish fourth, while Juan Pablo Montoya, McMurray’s teammate, rounded out the top five. Kevin Harvick held on to his lead in the Sprint Cup standings by finishing sixth. Harvick was up by 10 points over Johnson heading into Darlington, and extended it to an impressive 110 points after Johnson’s miserable night ended in a crash — his third DNF of the season — and a 36th-place finish.

Lakers edge Jazz in wild fourth quarter for 3-0 series lead

By Doug Alden The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — After winning the first two games by dominating inside, the Los Angeles Lakers went outside in Game 3 and took a 3-0 series lead on the Utah Jazz in the Western Conference playoffs.

Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher hit back-toback three-pointers during an 8-2 run in the final minute and the Lakers held on for a 111-110 victory over Utah Jazz on Saturday that put Los Angeles on the verge of a sweep.

The Lakers outlasted the Jazz in a frenzied fourth quarter, which included 12 lead changes before Utah’s final attempt bounced off the rim in the final second.

“It was fun basketball to watch, I’m sure,” said Bryant, who scored 35 to lead the Lakers. “Guys just coming down making big shot after big shot, and big play after big play. It was certainly fun to be a part of.”

From the Lakers’ perspective, it was a blast.

They never led by more than four, but stayed close enough to win it in the final minute and steal away Utah’s first home game of the series.

The Jazz had two chances to win it in the final four seconds, but Deron Williams missed from the top of the key and Wesley Matthews’ tip just before the buzzer also missed.

“It’s a tough loss, period. We were again in the game and had a chance to win the game and things aren’t going our way,” Williams said.

Williams had 28 points and nine assists and Kyle Korver added a career playoff-high 23 points for the Jazz, making all five of his threepoint attempts.

Fisher finished with 20 points and Pau Gasol added 14 points and 17 rebounds for Los Angeles, which can close out the four-game sweep with a win Monday night in Game 4.

Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom used their size advantage to lead the Lakers to wins in the first two games, but the Jazz were able to control more of the lane Saturday. Bynum didn’t score at all and Odom finished with eight points and eight rebounds.

Utah coach Jerry Sloan said the Jazz’s effort to keep the Lakers out of the middle opened up some three-point shots and Los Angeles capitalized.

“We felt like that was the chance to stay in the ballgame,” Sloan said. “That right there probably got us.”

Both teams scored 32 in the paint and the Lakers were able to break the tie from outside. Ron Artest scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half for the Lakers, breaking out of a three-point slump by shooting four of seven from beyond the arc.

“It’s all about momentum,” Bryant said. “We had been given good opportunities. It was just

a matter of them falling, and the shots starting falling at the right time.”

Bryant’s three-pointer with 54 seconds left tied it at 106. After a jumper by Williams, Fisher hit another from beyond the arc to put the Lakers up 109-108 with 28.6 seconds left.

“He played a great game tonight,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. “He made some shots and made some defensive plays. Just his tenacity is a factor for us.”

Carlos Boozer, who had 14 points and 14 rebounds, missed a putback attempt and the Jazz had to foul Bryant, who hit both free throws for a 111-108 lead with 7.8 seconds left. Williams drew a foul with 6.1 seconds and made both from the line to cut it to 111-110.

The Lakers couldn’t inbound the ball and called timeout. They tried again, but Fisher fell before he could get the pass from Artest, and Korver grabbed the loose ball and called timeout with 4.4 seconds left.

After the timeout, Williams’ shot from the top of the key bounced off the rim. There was still enough time for Matthews to get a hand on the rebound, but his tip also bounced off and the Lakers leaped off the bench to celebrate.

“It felt like it was just kind of a slugfest,” Korver said. “Whoever was going to miss first lost.

We got the ball back, just didn’t quite pull it off.”

This is the third straight playoffs the Lakers have played the Jazz, and Los Angeles had lost Game 3 in Utah each of the previous two.

Andrei Kirilenko returned from more than a month out with a strained left calf and had eight points and six rebounds. Paul Millsap added 13 points for Utah.

Also on Saturday: Magic. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 105 Hawks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75 ATLANTA — Rashard Lewis scored 22 points and the backups helped Orlando pull away early with Dwight Howard on the bench as the Magic romped to another playoff blowout, moving to the brink of their second straight sweep.

It was also the Hawks’ worst home playoff loss in franchise history.

Howard had 21 points and 16 rebounds but was hardly dominating. No problem for the Magic, who have so many complements to Superman and allowed many of them to shine in Orlando’s seventh straight postseason victory and 13th straight win overall.

Lewis knocked down four three-pointers. Jameer Nelson scored 14 points. Mickael Pietrus chipped in with 13, hitting three shots from outside the arc. The Magic are up 3-0 in the best-ofseven series, winning by an average margin of 29 points.

Unseeded player beats Jankovic for Italian Open title The Associated Press ROME — Jelena Jankovic lost the Italian Open final to unseeded Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez on Saturday, falling 7-6 (5), 7-5 to the Spaniard’s array of touch volleys and drop shots.

The seventh-ranked Serb beat hard-hitting Venus and Serena Williams in her previous two matches, but struggled against Martinez Sanchez’s clay-court shotmaking in this warmup for the French Open in two weeks.

It’s the first Tier I title — and third title overall — for the 26thranked Martinez Sanchez, a left-hander who beat secondseeded Caroline Wozniacki in the third round and knocked out former No. 1 Ana Ivanovic in the semifinals.

“It was really an unbelievable

TENNIS ROUNDUP tournament for me,” Martinez Sanchez said. “What can I say?

It’s incredible.”

Jankovic was aiming for her third title at the Foro Italico, but more than once ended up sprawled on the clay after chasing down drop shots.

“She played so well,” Jankovic said. “She really killed me with all those drop shots, and I killed myself falling all over the place.”

Also on Saturday: Federer falls in Estoril semifinals OEIRAS, Portugal — Roger Federer faltered in his tuneup for the French Open, losing to defending champion Albert Montanes of Spain 6-2, 7-6 (5) in the Estoril

Open semifinals.

Montanes, seeded fourth, will play for the title today against Frederico Gil, who became the first Portuguese to reach the final after he upset fifth-seeded Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 6-2, 5-7, 6-3.

Unseeded Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia captured the women’s final, downing Arantxa Parra Santonja of Spain 6-2, 7-5 for her first career title.

Americans to square off in Serbia BELGRADE, Serbia — Sam Querrey and John Isner won semifinal matches at the Serbia Open, setting up the first all-American ATP clay-court final in Europe since Jim Courier defeated Andre Agassi for the 1991 French Open championship.

Querrey, seeded third, routed

18-year-old Serbian wild card Filip Krajinovic 6-1, 6-2. Isner, seeded second, beat fourth-seeded Swiss Stanislas Wawrinka 7-5, 7-5.

Querrey needed just 51 minutes to dispatch Krajinovic, who was playing his first ATP semifinal.

Querrey will try to win his fourth ATP title and first on clay.

Cilic, Youzhny reach final MUNICH — Top-seeded Marin Cilic of Croatia will play secondseeded Mikhail Youzhny of Russia in the final of the BMW Open.

Cilic rallied to overcome fifthseeded Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 in the semifinals and is one win away from his third title of the year.

Youzhny beat Philipp Petzschner of Germany 7-5, 7-6 (5) to advance to his second straight BMW Open final.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton and Evgeni Nabokov shouldered the brunt of the criticism for San Jose’s past postseason failures.

It’s only fitting that those three are the biggest reason why the Sharks are headed back to the Western Conference finals for the first time in six years.

Thornton set up Marleau for the tiebreaking goal 6:59 into the third period and Nabokov bounced back from a Game 4 shellacking to help the Sharks eliminate the two-time defending Western Conference champion Detroit Red Wings with a 2-1 victory Saturday night in Game 5 of their second-round series.

“It feels good,” said Thornton, who scored the first goal for San Jose. “After kind of embarrassing ourselves with the 7-1 loss in Detroit we just wanted to bounce back. I thought we did a great job.”

Postseason disappointments have been commonplace in recent years in San Jose. The Sharks have had the secondbest record in the NHL the past five seasons, but hadn’t made it past the second round in that span until now.

Three straight second-round losses were followed by a firstround defeat to Anaheim last season, raising questions about whether the core of Thornton, Marleau and Nabokov could lead the Sharks to the Stanley Cup. San Jose is now halfway to that elusive title. The Sharks will play either Chicago or Vancouver in the conference finals. Marleau and Nabokov are the only players remaining from San Jose’s only previous trip to the conference finals when the Sharks lost to Calgary in six games.

“It’s definitely nice to get back there and be one step closer to winning the cup,” Marleau said.

Nabokov survived a blitz late in the second period to keep it tied at 1. Marleau then came through with his second game-winning goal of this series when Thornton found him all alone in the slot and he beat Jimmy Howard.

The goal set off a raucous celebration at the Shark Tank.

Marleau also scored in overtime to win Game 3, also off a feed from Thornton.

Thornton might finally be shedding the nickname “No Show Joe” by winning a gold medal in the Olympics and playing his best playoff series with the Sharks. He got his first goal of the postseason when he scored the winner in Game 2, started a third-period

San Jose Sharks center Patrick Marleau, right, is congratulated by center Joe Thornton (19) after scoring past during the third period of Game 5 of the NHL Western Conference semifinals Saturday in San Jose, Calif. comeback with a goal in Game 3 and was involved in both of San Jose’s goals in the clincher.

“That’s great to see because we had some individuals that heading into the playoffs had to answer some questions,” coach Todd McLellan said. “I think to this point they’ve done that.”

Detroit is the only team better in the regular season than the Sharks since the start of the 2005-06 season and the Red Wings have been far better in the postseason. They eliminated the Sharks in the second round in 2007 and went to the last two Stanley Cup finals, winning it all in 2008.

Also on Saturday: Penguins. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2 Canadiens . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 PITTSBURGH — Marc-Andre Fleury made 32 saves, Kris Letang scored on a power play after accidentally setting up Montreal’s decisive goal in the previous game and Pittsburgh moved within a victory of eliminating the Canadiens.

Sergei Gonchar also scored as the reigning Stanley Cup champions seized a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals, with Game 6 set for Montreal on Monday night. The Canadiens, held to four goals in the last three games, must win to force a Game 7 on Wednesday in Pittsburgh.

Sidney Crosby remained without a goal in the series and Evgeni Malkin also didn’t find the net — he did set up Letang’s pivotal goal late in the first period — but the Penguins had enough offense without their stars to support Fleury’s best game of the playoffs.

Mike Cammalleri scored with 30 seconds to play, but it was much too late for the Canadiens.

PREP ROUNDUP

Summit baseball is eliminated from playoff contention Bulletin staff report THE DALLES — Summit traveled to meet The Dalles-Wahtonka on Saturday, hoping for an Intermountain Conference baseball sweep that would keep the Storm in Class 5A state postseason contention.

Instead, Summit (6-12 IMC) found itself on the losing end of the doubleheader as the Eagle Indians swept the visiting squad 9-5 and 14-6. The losses eliminated the Storm’s postseason possibilities.

“We weren’t playing consistent defensively,” explained Summit coach C.J. Colt. “We also left a lot of runners on base.”

In the first game, Summit took a 1-0 first-inning lead but could not keep pace with its hosts, who are now fourth in the IMC standings. The Eagle Indians (10-8 IMC) tacked on runs in the second and third innings, claiming the lead.

The host team kept the pressure on high and cruised to victory after piling on four more runs in the sixth inning.

With momentum on their side, the Eagle Indians shot out to an 8-1 second-inning lead in the second game while Summit struggled on the mound.

The home team racked up 13 hits as the Storm went through three pitchers in hopes of slowing down the Eagle Indians’ bats.

Konner Reddick led Summit’s offense with a triple.

The Cougars managed only three hits in the road loss.

Caitlin Amodeo took the defeat in the first game, giving up five runs in seven innings. The game was tied 0-0 until The Dalles-Wahtonka scored two runs in the fifth and three runs in the sixth.

In game two, the Eagle Indians scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning and one in the second. It was all they needed as they went on to the 3-0 victory. Anna Johnson paced Summit with a double and two stolen bases in the second game.

The Storm are now 7-11 in Intermountain Conference play and tied for fifth place with Mountain View and Hermiston. League play comes to an end

for Summit next week with a three-game series against Madras.

Chris Waters led the Outlaw offense in game one, going three for four with a double and three runs batted in. Grant Union rolled to victory in game two, ending the contest after five innings because of the 10-run rule.

TRACK AND FIELD Conditt wins shot put at Grants Pass invite GRANTS PASS — One of just a handful of La Pine athletes to make the trip to the Grants Pass Rotary Invitational, the Hawks’ Kassi Conditt won the girls shot put at the 40-plus team meet that included teams from Class 1A to 6A. Conditt, who has the best shot mark in the entire state this season, defeated runner-up Kallie Calhoun of South Eugene by almost 2 feet with a first-place toss of 41 feet and 10 3⁄4 inches. For the La Pine boys, Ty Slater placed second in the javelin and fourth in the discus. As a team, the Hawks finished 17th in the boys standings and 18th among the girls teams.

Shuey and Stinson post wins for Gilchrist GILCHRIST — Tyler Shuey clocked the fastest time in the 400-meter event at the small school invitational hosted by Gilchrist, winning in just under 54 seconds. Teammate Ryan Stinson contributed a win in the pole vault as the Gilchrist boys slotted in at eighth place in the 13-team meet. La Pine, led by the second-place finishes of Taylor Ogle (3,000) and Colton George (110 hurdles), finished fifth overall.

On the girls side, Alexis Tilman gave La Pine a win in shot put that helped the Hawks to a sixth-place result. The Grizzlies took eighth in their home meet, scoring multiple points in the discus as Paige Kooker (fourth), Ashley James (sixth) and Chelsie Anding (eighth) all placed for Gilchrist.

HORSE RACING

Confidence fuels jockey Borel’s inside game in the Triple Crown

By Beth Harris The Associated Press

Calvin Borel makes his living riding the rail. It’s the shortest way around a racetrack, yet few jockeys are as comfortable down there as he is.

Of course, the rail doesn’t mean much if you don’t have a horse good enough underneath you. Borel certainly did in the Kentucky Derby, guiding Super Saver on the short path in the slop to a 2½-length victory, his third in four years.

Borel won his first Derby in 2007 with a rail-hugging ride aboard favorite Street Sense, and his second with 50-1 long shot Mine That Bird last year in a muddy dash from last to first along the rail.

This year wasn’t as dramatic, since Super Saver was never worse than sixth in the 1¼-mile race. But Borel did it in his trademark style — keeping close to the rail and swinging outside just once to pass Conveyance before zooming right back inside.

“He doesn’t run in the one hole, he runs in the halfhole,” Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas said. “He could paint the fence while he’s going.”

Actually, Borel said, Super Saver wasn’t that close.

“Now Mine That Bird might have scraped the fence,” he said. “He was all right. I had plenty of room.”

Borel isn’t expected to deviate from his famed style when he rides Super Saver in the Preakness on May 15, aiming for a victory that would set up a Triple Crown attempt.

“He has the talent to do it,” Borel said, referring to a Triple Crown sweep. “It’s hard to say you’re going to win it, but he’s peaking at the right time.”

Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert has been burned by “Bo-rail” before. He thought he had his fourth Derby victory in the bag last year, but Borel came zooming up the rail — a path Baffert calls the Borel Trail — on Mine That Bird to overtake front-running Pioneerof the Nile.

“He knows if he gets on top of the rail, it’s a big advantage,” Baffert said. “Lots of guys try it, but they can’t do it. He’s got it mastered. He can get a horse to relax. He’s got really great hands.”

Borel has enjoyed his greatest success at Churchill Downs, a track similar to Louisiana Downs, where the Cajun honed his riding skills and learned to take the shortest way around the track.

He even hugs the rail in the mornings when he’s exercising horses.

“I love to ride the fence,” he said. “You can’t be scared. If I can’t do it my way and get the job done, that’s when I’m going to retire.”

As much as Borel loves it down low, some horses dislike the rail, forcing him out a length or even as far as the middle of the track. Others, though, prefer running with the rail on one side, where another horse can’t come up inside them and they won’t get bumped.

“In a race, you’ve got to learn how to put one down there,” Borel’s agent, Jerry Hissam, said. “Most of these horses, when you turn for home, they’re starting to drift, they’re starting to get tired. You’ve got to know how to put them down in there and keep them down in there. And why can’t anybody else do it? I don’t know.”

Dale Romans, who trains third-place Derby finisher Paddy O’Prado, attributes Borel’s inside success to having the patience to wait for an opening.

“If you get left (behind), you have to use your head.

Don’t rush him up, put him in a bad spot because you’re asking for trouble,” Borel said. “If you’re on the best horse, let him take you there.”

Rachel Alexandra took Borel to the Preakness winner’s circle last year, when he switched off Mine That Bird to ride the filly, who started from the No. 13 post. This time, Borel is sticking with the horse that got him to Pimlico for the 1 3⁄16-mile race.

“I’ve got total confidence he’ll be able to handle Pimlico,” said Todd Pletcher, who trains Super Saver.

Lukas believes Borel’s success is more about confidence than fearlessness.

“When he gets a horse that will cooperate, he really does it,” the trainer said. “His confidence level is way up right now and so he’s trying things that normally he might not even try.”

Borel’s tactics don’t fool anyone — not his fellow jockeys nor the betting public. No one has tried to stop him yet. But the inside path isn’t always open to Borel.

“He’s got shut off before. They got out in front of him sometimes,” Hissam said. “A lot of times it’s because he doesn’t have the right horse to get to that spot. The hole is going faster than he is. He can’t catch the hole so he can’t get through it.”

Borel is keeping tabs on Super Saver at Churchill Downs, where the colt is training for the Preakness and is scheduled to arrive at Pimlico on Wednesday, three days before the race.

Super Saver had a light schedule before the Derby, with just two races in which he finished third and second. His freshness could work in his favor during the grueling five-week Triple Crown campaign.

“God willing, he’s a colt that will take us all the way because he’s a nice horse,” Borel said.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Westwood still leads Players Championship; Mickelson lurks The Associated Press PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — One round away from one of the biggest wins of his career, Lee Westwood of England knows what to expect on the final day of The Players Championship.

Not only because of his 16 years and his 30 victories worldwide, or his 54-hole lead last month at the Masters.

Saturday on the TPC Sawgrass was enough of a reminder.

Westwood watched a two-shot lead turn into a two-shot deficit. Over the final hour, Robert Allenby picked up three shots on the last three holes, while Heath Slocum dropped four shots on the last six holes.

The day ended with Westwood hitting a daring shot with a 6-iron through a gap in the trees for a par on the 18th hole for a 2-under 70 to finish the third round with a one-shot lead, same as he started. He has more company now — Masters champion Phil Mickelson included — but the course is as significant as the names behind him on the leaderboard.

“There was no real scope for thinking about anything else other than what I was doing,” Westwood said. “It’s that kind of golf course. If you play well, birdies are available. If you don’t hit good shots, they penalize you. That’s what good golf courses do to you.”

This day, there was a little of both.

Mickelson suddenly was back in the picture, along with that No. 1 ranking, because of his 66 that put him five shots behind.

Tiger Woods was not, courtesy of a bogey-bogey finish for a 71 that put him 10 shots behind.

Allenby was five shots behind when he walked off the 13th tee. He made up ground quickly with a 6-iron to about 12 feet on the par-5 16th for eagle, then a 12-foot birdie on the island-green 17th that curled into the side of the cup. He shot a 67 to get in the final group.

“That’s the thing,” Allenby said. “You don’t know what’s going to happen out there. All you can do is just play your own golf. But I knew I had to push it a little bit just to try to get within reach. Obviously, the leaderboard changed a couple of times through the back nine. Luckily for me, I did well on the finishing holes.”

Westwood was at 14-under 202.

“The golf course changed a lot. It got really firm this afternoon,” Westwood said. “I thought I played well — gave myself a lot of chances, missed a couple, but all in all, I was pleased with the way I played. I didn’t make too many poor shots out there.”

He certainly didn’t on the 18th after his drive landed in a drain grate. He took a free drop, saw a gap in the trees and hit a 6-iron onto the green to give himself another shot at winning.

“Had to go under one limb and then over the next

Tiger Continued from D1 What has changed is this: Three tournaments into his latest comeback, Woods is finding that regaining his dominance on the golf course will be far more difficult than he or anyone else may have ever imagined.

If he needed any reminder, a young kid standing around after Woods signed his scorecard Saturday gave it to him.

“Tiger, say so long to No. 1,” he yelled out. “Kiss it goodbye.”

Not so fast, kid. This thing’s not over just quite yet.

Still, the plight of the world’s best golfer is on public display at The Players Championship, where Woods will be long gone by the time they crown a new champion late Sunday afternoon.

So many questions. Not a lot of real answers.

Was the Masters an aberration? Is his personal life so fragile he can’t concentrate? Does forcing himself to acknowledge the existence of fans throw him off stride?

Or is his game just history, done in by a scandal he may never recover from?

Inquiring minds want to know, and for that at least Woods can be grateful. He’s playing so bad right now that even the tabloids can’t dig up enough new dirt to shift the conversation away from golf.

Woods himself blames rust, though that never seemed to stop him before. Remember that he was off just as long recovering from knee surgery last year and still won his third tournament back, the first of what would be six PGA Tour wins.

Back then he didn’t talk about needing more work. Back then he didn’t dwell on the difficulty of regaining his competitive edge.

He went out and won, just like he’s been doing his entire life.

Contrast that with his third tournament back since going into exile and spending time in rehab. Woods seemed so happy just to make the cut on Friday that he had a big smile on his face as he exchanged pleasantries with his playing partners.

Things didn’t get much better Saturday as he stumbled to a finish, treating viewers to the odd sight of the player who used

Phil Mickelson reacts after missing a chip for eagle on the 16th hole during the third round of The Players Championship Saturday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. lot of trees,” Westwood said. “It just looked perfect for the trajectory.”

Mickelson began the day nine shots out of the lead, same as Woods.

They went opposite directions, however. Mickelson didn’t make a bogey until the final hole for a 66 to put himself back into the picture, just five shots behind Westwood. The 10 players ahead of him have a combined 14 victories on the PGA Tour.

“I feel like things started to click a little bit today, and I think I’ve got one more low round in me,” Mickelson said. “I just hope that it will be enough, that I’ll be within striking distance.”

U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover, the only player in the top 10 with a major, didn’t make a birdie until the ninth hole in his round of 69. He was at 12-under 204, along with Torrey Pines winner Ben Crane (68) and Francesco Molinari of Italy, who had a 71.

Also on Saturday: Swede takes six-stroke lead in Italy TURIN, Italy — Sweden’s Fredrik Andersson Hed, winless on the PGA European Tour, shot a 9-under 63 to take a six-stroke lead in the Italian Open. Hed had a 17-under 199 total. Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) was second.

to blow it by everybody hitting a second shot on the par-4 18th hole with a fairway wood.

Afterward, he talked as if it was his golf game that was on a 12-step program.

“This is a process, especially since I haven’t played at all,” Woods said. “I just need more rounds.”

Don’t tell that to the fans so used to watching Woods dominate on Sunday. Or to the golf fanatics who used to be able to mow the lawn and have a leisurely lunch on the weekend before tuning in to see him in action.

Tiger the philanderer they could deal with. Tiger the middle-of-the-pack grinder is another matter.

Yet there he was, popping up tee shots like a weekend hacker, and hitting other shots sideways. His game is in such disarray that he seems to want to hide behind the new sunglasses he now wears between shots.

It now just seems a matter of time before the kid is right and Woods loses the No. 1 ranking he has held for five years to Phil Mickelson. Indeed, that could happen on Sunday should Mickelson shoot another low round and win.

More troubling for Woods is that the future looks just as uncertain. He once seemed destined to pass Jack Nicklaus in major championship wins and be anointed as the greatest player ever, but now his standing in history seems as shaky as his tee shots.

While Woods has won an average of one major a year since turning pro, he’s now 34 and it’s been two years since he won his last U.S. Open. Where he was once the fearless young kid who could blow people away on Sunday, there are now young players seemingly everywhere like Rory McIlroy who can do the same thing.

What is really striking is how Woods seems in denial of what is happening around him. He talks vaguely about other players not being subjected to the same scrutiny he is, but mostly it’s the same party line about how his swing is coming around and it’s just a matter of time before all is well.

He may believe it, though it’s hard to believe much Woods has to say anymore. His pledge to treat the game with more re-

spect unraveled quickly at the Masters, and his pledge to treat fans better didn’t last much longer.

While Mickelson signed autographs by the dozens after his round Saturday, Woods didn’t sign any, not even for two young volunteers.

It was just like old times, except with a twist.

At least then he had the game to get away with it.

Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press. Write to him at tdahlberg@ap.org.

Continued from D1 At least, nothing negative.

“Yeah, I’d hire him,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.

“Because of things I’ve seen him do, and I know how much he likes the game and how much he’d put into it, too.”

It’s this kind of feedback that’s allowed McGwire to settle into a comfortable, behind-the-scenes role with his old team.

“So far, so good,” McGwire said. “I think people have really moved on from the subject. People are tired of hearing about it.”

The subject, of course, is steroids. Last winter, McGwire ended years of denials and a selfimposed exile by admitting that he had used steroids and human growth hormone on and off for a decade, starting before the 1990 season and including when he broke Roger Maris’ single-season home run record in 1998.

The confession came in January, about three months after he was hired by the Cardinals and a month before the start of spring training. The statements and interviews — and the comfort zone he’s in now as a Cardinals coach — were all part of a carefully crafted plan.

Before he came clean, McGwire hired former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer to raise his chances of getting a positive response. Fleischer said his advice to the former home run king was simply that he be himself.

He scoffed at the notion that Big Mac’s tearful confessions had been orchestrated, the delivery scripted.

“I just helped get him ready with what he wanted to say,” Fleischer said. “It was Mark. Mark is emotional, Mark is heartfelt. If you’re not real, if you’re not sincere, people will see right through it.”

Fleischer said he remains in occasional contact with McGwire and looks forward to a get-together in New York when the Cardinals play the Mets in July.

It’s highly unlikely McGwire’s mea culpas won enough converts among Hall of Fame voters to get him into Cooperstown. The public at large, though, appears to have accepted the apology.

“I think there’s a powerful lesson in our forgiving country,” Fleischer said. “If you acknowledge you did something wrong, if you ask for forgiveness and you’re sincere and people see it, you can earn your way back.

“That’s what Mark did.”

Fleischer, in fact, believes McGwire deserves credit for being the first prominent baseball player to voluntarily step forward. Even if it was a step McGwire felt he had to take.

“Others did it because they were outed or because their tests came back, and still others have fought or are fighting,” Fleischer said. “Mark could have stayed happily and comfortably retired in Southern California. It takes a big man to do what he did, and I think he and baseball are much better for it.”

The Cardinals’ fears that McGwire might become a spring training sideshow were never realized.

After a few days of scrutiny at the

start of camp, he’s been free to do his job in peace.

Much of a typical work day at home in St. Louis takes place in indoor batting cages that were off-limits to media long before he was hired, or just out of the spotlight while observing Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday hone their batting eye. Unlike pitching coach Dave Duncan, you’ll never see Big Mac step on the field during a game to remind Colby Rasmus what he’s liable to see on a 2-1 count.

“It’s a nonevent with regard to what was being written all winter,” general manager John Mozeliak said. “He’s working very well with our players, learning his role and fitting in quite nicely.”

Manager Tony La Russa said it doesn’t hurt that McGwire takes plenty of time to sign autographs.

“I don’t want to challenge the Philadelphia fans, but the reaction has been great,” La Russa said. “I’m sure he’ll get some hoots here or there or other places. Maybe here. But it’s not like he’s out there playing.”

During the game, McGwire will typically sit in the dugout while the Cardinals are hitting, then retreat to the clubhouse to watch replays of the at-bats on video.

La Russa spends much of his time before the first pitch visiting with reporters and guests. McGwire’s job, he said, is the toughest on his staff because it chews up so much time.

“Manager included,” La Russa said. “He’s working it in an impressive way.”

Much like predecessor Hal McRae, McGwire has thus far been unable to solve the puzzling offensive inconsistency that plagued the team last year, especially during a three-game first-

round playoff sweep by the Dodgers last fall.

It’s probably a coincidence that the Cardinals have been somewhat reliant on the long ball in the early going, given that singles-hitting leadoff man Skip Schumaker is one of McGwire’s longest-term pupils, having worked with him informally the last five winters. Mozeliak calls McGwire’s process and approach “very sound.”

“When you look at quantifying a hitting coach, it’s not solely about results,” Mozeliak said.

Still, McGwire said the ups and downs of the Cardinals’ offense have led to some anxiety, especially for a first-time coach.

“Pitchers are going to try to make you cover both sides of the plate and I’ve said this time and time again, I don’t care how good you are you can’t do it in the big leagues,” McGwire said. “We’ve had some days where guys have done that, and those are the days you have sleepless nights thinking about it.”

The longer McGwire played, the more he felt he was his own best coach. That’s what led him to believe he had a future in the game, once he dealt with the messy past.

One item on which there’s been no give is McGwire’s contention that while steroids helped him recover from injuries and stay on the field, they did not also provide a power boost.

“Mark did take some criticism for that, he does believe in his God-given ability to hit home runs,” Fleischer said. “Whether you think somebody is deceiving you or deceiving themselves, it’s water under the dam. No. 25 is back, and he looks good in uniform.”

DAVID BROOKS

How the U.S. Army remade itself quickly

T

hey say that intellectual history travels slowly, and by hearse. The old generation has to die off before a new set of convictions can rise and replace entrenched ways of thinking. People also say that a large organization is like an aircraft carrier. You can move the rudder, but it still takes a long time to turn it around.

Yet we have a counterexample right in front of us. Five years ago, the U.S. Army was one sort of organization, with a certain mentality. Today, it is a different organization, with a different mentality. It has been transformed in the virtual flash of an eye, and the story of that transformation is fascinating for anybody interested in the flow of ideas.

Gen. David Petraeus, who had an important role, spoke about the transformation while accepting the Irving Kristol Award recently from the American Enterprise Institute. I spoke to him and others about the process this week.

The transformation began amid failure. The U.S. was getting beaten in Iraq in 2004 and 2005. Captains and colonels were generally the first to see this, but only a few knew how to respond. Those who did tended to have dual personalities.

That is, they had been steeped in Army culture but also in some other, often academic, culture. Petraeus had written a dissertation on Vietnam at Princeton.

H.R. McMaster, then a colonel, had also written a book on Vietnam.

They’d been trained to use overwhelming force to kill bad guys. They’d been trained to see terrorists as members of networks, almost like computer networks, and to focus on disrupting the nodes where networks joined. But in the theater they sometimes saw that the more force you unleashed, the more enemies you generated. The network metaphor could be misleading because it ignored geography, the importance of holding ground.

Dissenters, nicknamed COINdinistas, arose, but it was hit or miss. (COIN is military-speak for counterinsurgency,) There was no overarching Army doctrine. In 2005, Petraeus left Iraq and was sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to write a counterinsurgency field manual.

After Vietnam, there had been a tendency in the Army to regard the news media and academia with suspicion. But at their seminars, the COINdinistas welcomed academics, journalists and human rights activists.

A university is structured differently than the Army, but the COINdinistas adapted. Their magazine, Military Review, became a military version of Partisan Review in the 1950s. They sponsored essay contests. When the British Brig.

Nigel Aylwin-Foster wrote a scathing takedown of U.S. counterinsurgency practices, it was not only published, but distributed among the brass.

The manual, published in December 2006, celebrated paradoxes like, “Sometimes, the more you protect your force, the less secure you may be.” It codified best practices, but it still faced opposition — from generals who wanted a light footprint in Iraq, from others who wanted to keep blasting away without getting mucked up in community-building.

Petraeus and others had to go on a base-to-base campaign tour, selling the approach, especially down the chain of command. Many people join the Army to kill bad guys, not to build fisheries. The COINdinistas had to persuade them to get out of their trucks and wear less body armor. Soldiers often became receptive on their second or third tours of duty, after they’d killed plenty of insurgents without result, and seen buddies lose limbs.

In the new courses, officers practiced negotiating with “sheiks.” Bands of bloggers were set up to help those in Iraq and Afghanistan share information with those about to deploy. Gen. Ray Odierno adjusted the balance between combat and community operations.

There are still gaps, but now when you talk to soldiers, you see that the counterinsurgency doctrine has been bred into their bones. Now some say that the approach codified at Fort Leavenworth has become so dominant that it is actually stifling innovation.

The process was led by these dual-consciousness people — those who could be practitioners one month and then academic observers of themselves the next.

It’s a wonder that more institutions aren’t set up to encourage this sort of alternating life.

Election law has a foggy view of free speech when it comes to financial contributions and spending

By Adam Liptak • New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — From the perspective of classical First Amendment theory, some cases are easy. The government should not censor speech without a really good reason, and people should be allowed to make up their own minds about what they see and hear.

On that view, it was unsurprising that the Supreme Court last month struck down a law that made it a crime to sell videos of dogfights.

Or that in January it held unconstitutional a law that made it a crime to broadcast a documentary attacking Hillary Clinton, at least if

shown during the election season and paid for by a corporation.

That second case, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, was in some ways the easier of the two, at least under a conception of the First Amendment that is particularly skeptical of government censorship of political speech.

But you can also think about Citizens United through the lens of election law. Then things get foggier.

Ever since the Supreme Court’s 1976 decision in Buckley v. Valeo, election law has relied on what many people

think is an artificial distinction. The government may regulate contributions from individuals to politicians, Buckley said, but it cannot stop those same people from spending money independently to help elect those same politicians.

Why not? Contributions directly to politicians can give rise to corruption or its appearance, the court said, but independent spending is free speech. A $2,500 contribution to a politician is illegal; a $25 million independent ad campaign to elect the same politician is not.

Disclosure law has its strengths

W

hile the DISCLOSE bill now before the U.S. Senate is far from perfect, it does have some elements that would surely do more good than harm. Sen. Ron

Wyden, D-Ore., is responsible for one of them.

DISCLOSE was introduced as a direct result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this year that businesses and unions had as much right as the next guy to advertise their preferences prior to an election. That ruling has brought more than the usual howls from those who see money as the root of all evil, especially where politics are concerned.

The bill has its flaws. It would, for instance, bar contractors who do more than $50,000 worth of business with Uncle Sam from spending money on elections. Why should they be cut out of the political process?

But the bill does have its strengths, and Wyden is behind at least one of them. He wants to require companies, unions and other organizations to stand behind the ads they run in the same way candidates must now do. He wants the change, he says, because during his race against Gordon Smith in 1996, both candidates were featured in ads that were sponsored by individuals and groups neither Smith nor Wyden could identify.

To keep the public informed about the money behind political messages, DISCLOSE would require prompt disclosure of financing to the Federal Elections Commission during the last 20 days of a political race if more than $1,000 is spent on advertising.

That information would be made

(The bill) would give Americans new tools to judge elected officials’ actions in light of those donations and draw their own conclusions about whether influence was bought or sold. That’s valuable information to which voters should be entitled. public within 24 hours. In addition, unions and businesses would have to report their expenditures to their members and stockholders promptly, according to the Sunlight Foundation, whose mission is to make government more transparent. Too, the names of the top five donors to an organization that runs political ads would become public under the bill.

All of that would make it easier for voters to see whose money is buying what in any federal election.

It would give Americans new tools to judge elected officials’ actions in light of those donations and draw their own conclusions about whether influence was bought or sold. That’s valuable information to which voters should be entitled.

My Nickel’s Worth Replace Dugan I noted with interest our district attorney’s comments about his (mis)handling of David Black. Mike Dugan seems to feel that exercising the constitutionally guaranteed right to a trial merits retribution. Apparently Black’s draconian sentence was more of a punishment for not accepting a plea bargain than it was for the nature of his offense, which in itself was questionable. This man has been in office long enough to emphasize Lord Acton’s comments about the corruptive nature of power. It’s time for a new district attorney.

Union power?

Over the last few months, a theme has appeared in The Bulletin’s editorials and letters to the editor that suggests that teachers’ unions exert undue influence on the legislative process in our state through their power to muster blocs of votes for candidates.

This claim is worthy of scrutiny.

According to the Oregon Secretary of State Elections Division, 2,055,747 residents were registered to vote in March of this year.

Based on state demographic data, it is estimated that about 2.8 million residents are eligible to vote. In contrast, there are only about 29,000 teachers in our state — about 1.4 percent of those registered and a scant 1 percent of those eligible to vote. Not exactly an overwhelming voting bloc, even if teachers voted identically. Which

they don’t.

Over the years I’ve known and worked with hundreds of teachers and can categorically assure you that they are a diverse group that include members of every political stripe — and that they cast their votes accordingly. The idea that the union commands a unified front is a fiction that unions like to cultivate for obvious reasons. Ironically, those who rail against union political influence reinforce this illusion thereby increasing the very political influence they disdain.

The effort to demonize teachers’ unions is another example of the current perverse strategy by those unhappy with the outcome of the democratic process to gain ground through scapegoating rather than through the civil discussion of ideas. Let’s spend more time focused on the merits of the ideas.

What ‘illegal’ means In reference to the recent immigration law passed in Arizona: What part of the word “illegal” do people not understand?

The word illegal means prohibited by law — an immigrant who has entered the United States illegally.

We sure do not want Congress working on this problem. They would only do what the special interest groups wanted and what would get them the most votes at re-election time. States should solve their own immigration problems.

Tom Hill for judge Elections matter! I am writing in support of Tom Hill for circuit court judge for the Deschutes County court position.

Attorneys who work in the judicial system every day, more than 300 of them, have voted 75 percent in favor of Tom Hill in the recent bar poll, a fact that The Bulletin has failed to report. Besides the overwhelming endorsement from those who watch Tom in the courtroom, Tom grew up with a work ethic from dairy farm roots and went on to become a police officer, graduate in the top 5 percent of his law class at Willamette University, and establish a private law firm with more than 24 years of judicial and law enforcement experience.

He spends every day in the courtroom advocating and has been a prosecutor as well. His private sector experience and advocacy — not a candidate from the prosecutor’s office — best suits him for this job. He knows what it is to work with families, crime victims, safety issues in the private and public sector and has experience, fairness and integrity without political agendas that often come out of prosecutorial life. I choose the public sector with vast experience and advocacy.

Tom has answered my question of “what are your beliefs?” Our beliefs are hard-wired to our brain and actions. If you know what a candidate believes, you will no longer be amazed at his or her decisions, which we are experiencing at the local, state and national levels. Tom Hill is the serious choice for those who understand this connection!

Defending the gun rights of those on terrorist watch T GAIL

here seems to be a strong sentiment in Congress that the only constitutional right suspected terrorists have is the right to bear arms.

“I think you’re going too far here,” said Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina at a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday. He was speaking in opposition to a bill that would keep people on the FBI terrorist watch list from buying guns and explosives.

Say what?

Yes, if you are on the terrorist watch list, the authorities can keep you from getting on a plane but not from purchasing an AK-47. This makes sense to Congress because, as Graham accurately pointed out, “when the founders sat down and wrote the Constitution, they didn’t consider flying.”

The subject of guns turns Congress into a twilight zone. People who are perfectly happy to let the government wiretap phones go nuts when the government wants to keep track of weapons permits. A guy who stands up in the House and defends the torture of terror suspects will nearly faint with horror at

the prospect of depriving someone on the watch list of the right to purchase a pistol.

“We make it so easy for dangerous people to get guns. If it’s the Second Amendment, it doesn’t matter if they’re Osama bin Laden,” said Paul Helmke, the president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

Graham wanted to make it clear that just because he doesn’t want to stop gun purchases by possible terrorists, that doesn’t mean he’s not tough on terror.

“I am all into national security. ... I want to stop reading these guys their Miranda rights,” he said.

The Obama administration has been criticized by many Republicans for having followed the rules about how long you can question a terror suspect before you read him his rights. These objections have been particularly loud since the arrest of Faisal Shahzad in the attempted Times Square bombing.

No one seems moved by the fact that Shahzad, after being told that he had the right to remain silent, continued talking incessantly.

“Nobody in their right mind would ex-

COLLINS pect a Marine to read someone caught on the battlefield their rights,” Graham said.

Terror threats make politicians behave somewhat irrationally. But the subject of guns makes them act like a paranoid mother ferret protecting her litter. The National Rifle Association, the fiercest lobby in Washington, grades every member of Congress on how well they toe the NRA line. Lawmakers with heavily rural districts would rather vote to legalize carrying concealed weapons in kindergarten than risk getting less than 100 percent.

The Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on “Terrorists and Guns: The Nature of the Threat and Proposed Reforms,” concerned a modest bill sponsored by Senator Frank Lautenberg

of New Jersey. It would allow the government to stop gun sales to people on the FBI terror watch list the same way it does people who have felony convictions. Because Congress has repeatedly rejected this idea, 1,119 people on the watch list have been able to purchase weapons over the last six years. One of them bought 50 pounds of military grade explosives.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York City and his police commissioner, Ray Kelly, dutifully trekked down to Washington to plead for the bill on behalf of the nation’s cities. The only thing they got for their trouble was praise for getting the city through the Times Square incident in one piece. And almost everyone had a good word for the T-shirt vendor who first noticed the suspicious car and raised an alert. Really, if someone had introduced a bill calling for additional T-shirt vendors, it would have sailed through in a heartbeat.

Gun legislation, not so popular.

Lautenberg’s bill has been moldering in committee, and that is not going to change.

“Let me emphasize that none of us

wants a terrorist to be able to purchase a gun,” said Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who nevertheless went on to argue against allowing the government to use the terrorist watch list to keep anyone from being able to purchase, um, a gun.

“Some of the people pushing this idea are also pushing the idea of banning handguns,” said Graham, darkly.

“I don’t think banning handguns makes me safer.”

The terrorist watch list is huge, and some of the names on it are undoubtedly there in error. The bill would allow anyone denied the right to purchase a firearm an appeal process, but that would deprive the would-be purchaser some precious gun-owning time. Before we subject innocent Americans “to having to go into court and pay the cost of going to court to get their gun rights back, I want to slow down and think about this,” said Graham.

Slow is going to be very slow, and the thinking could go on for decades.

O Veterans seeking seats in Congress U

sually a handful of ex-soldiers seek political office every election cycle. But well over 20 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans are running this fall for Congress alone. Almost all are riding a wave of public anger at incumbents over a profligate government and dishonest Wall Street — and a general feeling that the current Democratic remedy has proven as bad as, or worse than, the recent Republican disease.

The shenanigans of the previously Republican-controlled Congress — the “Culture of Corruption” — simply continued under the congressional Democrat majority, thanks to the likes of Chris Dodd, William Jefferson, Eric Massa, Charles Rangel and the late John Murtha.

Reform candidate Barack Obama has run up more debt in 15 months than unpopular spendthrift George W. Bush did in eight years. Obama once talked of a new unity, but he has polarized America far more rapidly than did the cowboysounding “decider” Bush.

In other words, the public is desperate for civic-minded leaders who are untainted by Washington, but who have a proven record of competent service on behalf of the nation. If they are poor or haven’t held office before — apparently so much the better.

The current combat-veteran candidates certainly aren’t the usual state

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON legislators or congressional aides ready for career advancement. Neither are they anti-war liberals who flash their national-security credentials, nor oneissue hawks who want more defense spending. They don’t claim that their combat experience guarantees good governance per se — not after the examples of Murtha or disgraced Republican Duke Cunningham. And they aren’t retired generals used to deference and the spotlight.

So other than a shared furor at out-ofcontrol spending, government takeovers and corruption, the twenty-something soldier-citizen candidates are an odd bunch. Some are officers; others are enlisted men. A surprising number were wounded in combat.

The vast majority are running as Republicans and seem to have little if any money. They were not so much preselected by Republican operatives as pushed forward through grassroots and sometimes tea party support.

In New York’s 20th Congressional

District, retired Army Col. Chris Gibson — four deployments to Iraq — is a Ph.D., former West Point instructor and author of a book on civilian-military relations.

He received a Purple Heart, and recently served in the Haitian relief effort. While Gibson, the warrior scholar, is running on smaller government and lower taxes, his main theme is a call for ethics, accountability and a return to the notion of the citizen-legislator who works in Washington, D.C., rather than works the Washington system.

Other veteran candidates are already well known. In Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, decorated retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West was involved in a controversy seven years ago when he purportedly fired a pistol near an Iraqi prisoner who he believed had information regarding a planned ambush of West’s battalion. West has MA degrees in military arts and sciences and in political science, and was wounded a few years ago while serving as a civilian adviser in Afghanistan. His theme also is ostensibly smaller, cleaner government, balanced budgets, strong national security and lower taxes.

For 30 years after 1865, almost no American could get elected to office without prior Union or Confederate Civil War service. And last century, being a World War II veteran was virtually mandatory for any congressional leader until

about 1970.

But Iraq and Afghanistan are seen differently from the collective sacrifice and bipartisan efforts of past wars. Our current veterans usually fought in impossible circumstances, where friend and enemy were sometimes indistinguishable. The aims and means of their mission were often questioned — with the public as against the difficult later stages of the wars as they once were for them in the easier beginning stages.

As a result, these veterans are not saying, “Vote for me because I fought for you,” as much as, “Vote me for because I did my duty even if some in this country questioned why one would.”

We live in a wartime of economic crisis, crushing debt and endemic political corruption. Rules, obligations and laws don’t seem to matter. Personal honor is an archaic, fossilized concept.

But suddenly, amid public malaise, dozens of nontraditional soldier-citizens have stepped forward out of the shadows to argue that right now in America, neither money nor incumbency matters as much as civic duty and the old idea of public service. And unlike most of us, they once put their lives on the line to prove just that.

President Obama must fight for energy bill T THOMAS

here is only one meaningful response to the horrific oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and that is for America to stop messing around when it comes to designing its energy and environmental future. The only meaningful response to this man-made disaster is a man-made energy bill that would finally put in place an American clean-energy infrastructure that would set our country on a real, long-term path to ending our addiction to oil.

That is so obviously the right thing for our environment, the right thing for our national security, the right thing for our economic security and the right thing to promote innovation. But it means that we have to stop messing around with idiotic “Drill, baby, drill” nostrums, feelgood Earth Day concerts and the paralyzing notion that the American people are not prepared to do anything serious to change our energy mix.

This oil spill is to the environment what the subprime mortgage mess was to the markets — both a wake-up call and an opportunity to galvanize a constituency for radical change that overcomes the powerful lobbies and vested interests that want to keep us addicted to oil.

If President Obama wants to seize this moment, it is there for the taking.

We have one of the worst environmental disasters in American history on our hands. We have a public deeply troubled by what they’ve seen already — and they’ve probably seen only the first reel of this gulf horror show. And we have a bipartisan climate/energy/jobs bill ready to be introduced in the Senate — produced by Sens. John Kerry, Joe Lieberman and Lindsey Graham — that would set a price on carbon and begin to shift us to a system of cleaner fuels and greater energy efficiency, and unlock an

FRIEDMAN avalanche of private capital to the clean energy market.

American industry is ready to act and is basically saying to Washington: “Every major country in the world, starting with China, is putting in clear, long-term market rules to stimulate clean energy — except America. Just give us some clear rules, and we’ll do the rest.”

The Kerry-Lieberman-Graham bill is an important step in that direction. It is far from perfect. It includes support for more off-shore drilling, nuclear power and concessions to coal companies. In light of the spill, we need to make this bill better. At a minimum, we need much tighter safeguards on off-shore drilling.

There is going to be a lot of pressure to go even further, but we need to remember that even if we halted all off-shore drilling, all we would be doing is moving the production to other areas outside the U.S., probably with even weaker environmental laws.

Somehow a compromise has to be found to move forward on this bill — or one like it. But even before the gulf oil spill, this bill was in limbo because the White House and Senate Democrats broke a promise to Graham, the lone Republican supporting this effort, not to introduce a controversial immigration bill before energy. At the same time, Obama has kept his support low-key, fearing that if he loudly endorses a price on carbon, Republicans will be screaming “carbon tax” and “gasoline tax” in

the 2010 midterm elections.

Bottom line: This bill has no chance to pass unless Obama gets behind it with all his power, mobilizes the public and rounds up the votes. He has to lead from the front, not the rear. Responding to this oil spill could well become the most important leadership test of the Obama presidency. The president has always had the right instincts on energy, but he is going to have to decide just how much he wants to rise to this occasion — whether to generate just an emergency response that over months ends the spill or a systemic response that over time ends our addiction. Needless to say, it would be a lot easier for the president to lead if more than one Republican in the Senate was ready to lift a finger to help him.

Our dependence on crude oil is not just a national-security or climate problem. Some 40 percent of America’s fish catch comes out of the gulf, whose states

also depend heavily on coastal tourism.

As the energy consultant David Rothkopf likes to say, sometimes a problem reaches a point of acuity where there are just two choices left: bold action or permanent crisis. This is such a moment for our energy system and environment.

If we settle for just an incremental response to this crisis — a “Hey, that’s our democracy. What more can you expect?” — we’ll be sorry. You can’t fool Mother Nature. She knows when we’re just messing around. Mother Nature operates by her own iron laws. And if we violate them, there is no lobby or big donor to get us off the hook. No, what’s gone will be gone. What’s ruined will be ruined. What’s extinct will be extinct — and later, when we’re finally ready to stop messing around, it will be too late.

How the tea party movement can remain relevant

By Richard A. Viguerie For The Washington Post

A

s an active participant in the conservative movement for more than 50 years, I’ve long thought that, even at the peak of our strength, conservatives could only slow the growth of government, not reverse it.

But with the emergence of the tea party movement, for the first time in my life I sense that it may be possible for conservatives to actually shrink the federal government.

This moment has been a long time coming. Back when Barry Goldwater became the first member of the conservative movement to be nominated for president, the movement had just two legs — free markets and a strong national defense. After religious conservatives became the third leg, conservatives won three landslide presidential elections in the 1980s. But even that was not enough to stop the expansion of government.

The tea party has added a fourth leg — an emphasis on limiting government through fidelity to the Constitution and our nation’s founding principles, without being operationally aligned with either party. With this addition, we conservatives now find ourselves sitting at a large four-legged table and outnumbering liberals by almost two to one in a recent Gallup poll.

Yet some of the tea party’s greatest strengths also present formidable challenges. How does a leaderless movement (and our lack of a single leader is very much one of our strengths) continue to grow and gain power?

More specifically, how can we make sure that we stay focused on a central set of causes? We must define ourselves — or our opponents will. And they are working overtime to do so. I have five suggestions for my fellow tea partiers, advice that can help the movement endure for years to come and make it the main vehicle of change in America.

Be independent.

Most important, tea partiers must remain distinct from both political parties.

The GOP would like nothing better than to co-opt the movement and control the independent conservatives who are its members. But we must keep in mind that perhaps the single biggest mistake of the conservative movement was becoming an appendage of the Republican Party.

Go on a policy offensive.

We must take on policy initiatives that will fundamentally change America but that, because of crony politics, neither political party will touch. Tea partiers already know that promoting complete adherence to the Constitution, and particularly to the 10th Amendment — which reserves the powers not explicitly

granted to the federal government for the states and the people — is the way to change policy. Using this approach, we need to move major proposals to the center of debate and action, among them audits of the Federal Reserve, a restructured tax code and an end to corrupt gerrymandering. We must also pursue constitutional amendments mandating term limits, a balanced budget with tax limitations and an end to automatic citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.

Pressure institutions to change.

We must expand our cause beyond anger at politicians. Wall Street banks once operated with the knowledge that individual integrity is essential to the functioning of a free market, but now we have Goldman Sachs executives cheering the housing market collapse.

So, rather than focus solely on government, we also need to train a spotlight on the failed leaders of other major American institutions from Hollywood to Wall Street, including big business, banks, mainstream media, labor unions and organized religion (notably my own Catholic Church).

Get involved, then stay involved.

Tea partiers must make ourselves a constant presence and conscience in the lives of those we elect. Once politicians get into office, they are surrounded by lobbyists and special interests that want

more, not less, from government. We must push back by making our influence felt at a steady procession of meetings, breakfasts and dinners, and we must speak up via letters, phone calls, e-mails and town hall meetings.

Avoid the third-party trap.

Just as the tea party movement must not be co-opted by either of the major parties, nor can it yield to the temptation to start a third party. In 2008, Republicans lost three Senate races because of conservative third-party candidates.

Those losses have made it more difficult to oppose and defeat liberal judicial nominations, Obamacare, cap-andtrade legislation and other policies that, even in a best-case scenario, will take conservatives years to undo.

This doesn’t mean we should automatically support whatever candidates Republicans put up. The tea party electoral strategy should be simple and consistent: We must run principled conservatives in the primaries and then throw our support behind the most conservative major-party candidates in the general election.

The best fix for Arizona’s immigration law? Read on

C

ritics of Arizona’s new immigration law have not been shy about impugning the motives of its supporters. The measure, which requires police to check the immigration status of people they question or detain, has been denounced as a “Nazi” or “near-fascist” law, a “police state” intervention, an imitation of “apartheid,” a “Juan Crow” regime that only a bigot could possibly support.

Faced with this kind of hyperbole, the supposed bigots have understandably returned the favor, dismissing opponents of the Arizona measure as limousine liberals who don’t understand the grim realities of life along an often-lawless border.

And so the debate has become a storm of insults rather than an argument.

On the specifics of the law, Arizona’s critics have legitimate concerns. Their hysteria has been egregious: You would never guess, amid all the heavy breathing about desert fascism, that federal law already requires legal immigrants to carry proof of their status at all times. But the measure is problematic nonetheless.

The majority of police officers, already overburdened, will probably enforce it only intermittently. For an overzealous minority, it opens obvious opportunities for harassment and abuse.

Just because this is the wrong way to enforce America’s immigration laws, however, doesn’t mean they don’t need to be enforced. Illegal immigrants are far more sympathetic than your average lawbreaker: they’re risk-takers looking for a better life in the United States, something they have in common with nearly every living American’s ancestors. But by denouncing almost any crackdown on them as inherently bigoted and cruel, the “pro-immigrant” side of the debate is ultimately perpetuating a deeply unjust system.

There’s a good argument, on moral and self-interested grounds alike, that the United States should be as welcoming as possible to immigrants. But there’s no compelling reason that we should decide which immigrants to welcome based on their proximity to our border, and their ability to slip across.

It takes nothing away from Mexico or Mexicans to note that millions upon millions of people worldwide would give anything for the chance to migrate to America. Many come from nations that are poorer than our southern neighbor.

Many have endured natural disasters, or suffered political or religious persecution.

And many have spent years navigating our byzantine immigration bureaucracy, only to watch politicians in both parties dangle the promise of amnesty.

As of the mid-2000s, roughly 700,000 migrants were entering the United States illegally every year. Fifty-seven percent came from Mexico, and 24 percent from the rest of Latin America. Only 13 percent came from Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and the Pacific Rim. In a better world, the United States would welcome hundreds of thousands more legal immigrants annually, from a much wider array of countries. And instead of being heavily skewed toward low-skilled migrants, our system could tilt toward higher-skilled applicants, making America more competitive and less stratified.

But this can only happen if America first regains control of its southern border. There is a widespread pretense that this has been tried and found to be impossible, when really it’s been found difficult and left untried.

Curbing the demand for illegal workers requires stiff workplace enforcement, stringent penalties for hiring undocumented workers, and shared sacrifice from Americans accustomed to benefiting from cheap labor. Reducing the supply requires bigger Border Patrol budgets and enforcement measures that will inevitably be criticized as draconian: some kind of tamper-proof Social Security card, most likely, and then more physical walls along our southern border, as opposed to the “virtual” wall that the Obama administration seems to be wisely abandoning.

You can see why our leaders would rather duck the problem. But when Washington doesn’t act, the people on the front lines end up taking matters into their own hands.

If you don’t like what Arizona just did, the answer isn’t to scream “fascist!” It’s to demand that the federal government do its job, so that we can have the immigration system that both Americans and immigrants deserve.

Chilean novelist Isabel Allende’s new novel, “Island Beneath the Sea,” manages to frustrate easy classification.

5. “Women Food and God” by Geneen Roth (Scribner)

6. “The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook” by Jillian Michaels (Crown)

Isabel Allende, as the world knows, writes her novels in Spanish. She looks translations over, but has “total faith in my translators.”

So what, asks the unsuspecting, defenseless interviewer, can she do in Spanish that she can’t do in English?

“Love!” she cries. “My husband would find me ridiculous if I tried to pant in English.” Then she unleashes a big laugh in all languages.

A jest like that, against type, pointed, seasoned with good humor, holds the key to Allende, 67, one of the most popular writers in the world.

Her new novel, “Island Beneath the Sea” (Harper, $26.99), manages, like many Allende books, to frustrate easy classification.

It begins on the island that became home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Its main figure, Zarite, is born to an African slave who tries to kill her baby (to save her from a terrible life) and does kill herself. Known as Tete, the girl grows up as the slave of French sugarcane magnate Toulouse Valmorain.

“I never in my life thought I would write about Haiti,” says Allende. “I was in New Orleans, doing research, and I fell in love with the place. As I did more research about the history of the city, it took me to the refugees who came there from what is now Haiti and the Dominican Republic, during the slave uprisings.

“Tete is torn between staying with the man she loves, who is a rebel fighting for freedom, and the children she has borne her master.

She does what any woman would do: She chooses her children.”

When rebels torch Valmorain’s cane fields, Tete and children flee with him to Cuba and then to New Orleans, as thousands did. She brings along the heritage that sustains her: the protection of Erzulie, voodoo spirit of love, dancing and beauty.

And that is an opening for Allende’s use of “magic realism,” in which harsh fact braids with intimations of spirits and the occult.

For Tete, music is more than music — it is religion. She and fellow slaves connect with the divine through drums, through the kalenda dance, through communal transcendence conferred by the loas (spirits) of voodoo.

For Tete, voodoo is not exotic, but rather daily life.

“That is why I say there really is no magic in the book,” Allende says. “My description of voodoo is what is still happening today.

You see it in Haiti, in Brazil in Candomble, in so much of traditional New Orleans culture. Why did Toussaint-Louverture and the slaves win their fight for freedom?

Because through voodoo, they experience divinity. It mounts them.

It empowers them. They won because of the coherence of their spiritual beliefs.”

moment in history. As in many Allende books, a powerful woman suffers imprisonment — in Tete’s case, that of slavery — and looks for escape.

“My writing,” says Allende, “is always about freedom, about owning your own life. What always draws me is the story of the survivor. I saw many such stories in Chile during the military coup — people who within a horrible life experience solidarity, integrity, compassion.”

Born in Peru to a Chilean family, Allende is first cousin once removed of Salvador Allende, Marxist president of Chile, assassinated in 1973 in a U.S.-backed coup that instated dictator Augusto Pinochet. “That was a time of terror,” she says, “but for every person tortured, there were a thousand willing to risk their lives to help others.”

Would Chile be different now had her cousin lived? Allende says, matter-of-factly, “I think he would have served out his term and gone home. He wouldn’t have become a dictator for 17 years.”

Tete’s story thus arises from Allende’s experience as a South American woman, as an Allende, as a feminist. “I became a feminist as a kid,” she says. “I just wanted

The title of her memoir, “Spoon Fed: How Eight Cooks Saved My Life,” answers the question of how Severson, now a food writer with The New York Times, overcame her obstacles without the crutch of gin.

It’s warm and funny, a breezy read from a writer who got her start as a proofreader for the Seattle Weekly and then a metro reporter for the Tacoma News Tribune.

A lesbian, Severson writes about her struggles with her identity and with alcohol. But mostly, she writes about the life stories of eight women who became her source of inspiration: her mother, Anne Marie Severson, and culinary luminaries Marion Cunningham, Alice Waters, Leah Chase, Ruth Reichl, Edna Lewis, Rachael Ray and Marcella Hazan.

A clever marketing hook with name droppings, maybe. But Severson’s story is sincere.

Wine, cocktails and beer play prominent roles on the contemporary American dinner table.

But Severson realized that personally and professionally, she didn’t need a wine pairing to enhance a meal. “Food is really quite lovely all on its own.”

The traits of being a good food writer? The answer isn’t in the bottle. It’s understanding the science of food and how ingredients “interact” with one another.

It’s building “a catalogue of food memories” to explain how a good chocolate tastes different from a bad one.

Severson learned some life lessons from those “Kitchen Goddesses,” while writing for newspapers in San Francisco and New York City, arguably the top two culinary cities in America.

Author Cunningham, a recovering alcoholic, showed Severson that “no matter how badly you stumble, you can start over.”

Through slow-food pioneer Waters, she learned to persevere and work hard. Through Reichl, former New York Times restaurant critic and former Gourmet editor, she learned to stop comparing herself with the most popular girl in school and to be herself.

Because being Kim Severson isn’t bad either.

Blatty creates horrific confusion

A BLOODSUCKER OBSESSION

“Dimiter”

by William Peter Blatty (Forge, 304 pgs., $24.99)

By Joy Tipping The Dallas Morning News

I’ve adored the novelist William Peter Blatty since I was a preteen; 1971’s “The Exorcist” (which I probably shouldn’t have read at age 10, but did) turned me into a lifelong horror fan, and I was also quite taken with 1978’s “The Ninth Configuration” and 1983’s “Legion,” a sequel to “The Exorcist.”

So I pounced on Blatty’s latest, “Dimiter,” when it arrived, gleefully anticipating a few nights of shuddery, lookover-my-shoulder thrills.

And shudder I did, but not in the way Blatty would have wanted; mine were frissons of loathing, not fear.

There was no “I’m so scared, I want my mommy!” moment in reading this book. More like, “I’m so confused. Hey, Mom — or anyone — could you explain this to me?”

I actually read the thing twice, hoping that a second perusal would bring clarity to the murk. But no, “Dimiter” requires a stronger mental squeegee than I possess, and I remain entirely frustrated by it.

So what’s “Dimiter” about?

Ummm. Hmmm. It’s set in early 1970s Albania and Jerusalem, and it might — and let’s emphasize that word, because truly, I’m still not sure — be about the religious conversion of an American spy named Paul Dimiter, who gets tortured in 1973 in Albania and then may or may not turn up dead, in Christ’s alleged tomb no less, in 1974 Jerusalem.

It all might be a modernday take on the book of Acts, which is quoted in “Dimiter”: “On his way to Damascus ... suddenly a light from the sky flashed around him. … And for three days he could not see,” a passage that precedes what’s probably the most famous conversion story of all time, that of the violently anti-Jesus Saul into the apostle Paul.

On a positive note, Blatty’s writing contains much grace and beauty. The book’s first paragraph sets a splendidly dark tone: “Ninety-three million miles from the sun, in the damp of a windowless concrete room in a maze of other rooms and cells and passageways where grace and hope had never touched, the Interrogator sat behind a tight wooden table with a mind gone blank as the notepad before him. The Prisoner radiated mystery. After seven days of torture he had yet to utter a word.”

But as lovely as the writing often is, it’s a blank, bland beauty that never engages.

And with literature, beauty that’s so cold, so impenetrable, just leaves the reader — at least this one — feeling not bewitched or bothered, but unquestionably bewildered.

Author hopes teen boys bite on vampire series “Alex Van Helsing: Vampire Rising”

by Jason Henderson (HarperTeen, $16.99)

By David Martindale McClatchy-Tribune News Service

GRAPEVINE, Texas — Jason Henderson got his first glimpse of Dracula on television more than three decades ago.

He has been obsessed with vampires ever since.

He’s an author, based in Grapevine, who today loves nothing more than writing about the toothy bloodsuckers. “As a storyteller,” Henderson says, “there are so many cool things you can do with them.”

His new novel, “Alex Van Helsing: Vampire Rising,” is the first in a series of books chronicling the cliffhanger adventures of a 14year-old vampire hunter.

It’s precisely the kind of story that Henderson would have sunk his teeth into as a kid — and it’s a far cry from the campy TV vamp that initially inspired him.

“The first vampire I remember having a strong reaction to was, of all things, in ‘The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Meet Dracula,’” Henderson says. “In it, whenever Dracula appears on-screen, stalking various people, including members of Shaun Cassidy’s band, you see only his awesome black boots.”

If Henderson were to watch the show again today, it probably would strike him as being laughably bad. “But at the time,” he says, “I was really struck by this powerful and iconic figure.”

All these years later, the Prince of Darkness, and others of his kind, still capture his imagination. “I don’t write about vampires because they’re popular,” Henderson says. “I write about them because I like to write about vampires.”

“Alex Van Helsing: Vampire Rising” (HarperTeen, $16.99) went on sale Tuesday.

Before Henderson decided to give novels for teens a try, he wrote comic books and computer games. His work includes the Activision game Wolfenstein, the manga series Psy-Comm and the vampire action comic series Sword of Dracula. In the mid1990s, while still in college, he

wrote sword-and-sorcery adult fantasy novels, but he says he never had the same passion for that genre that he has for vampires.

Henderson believes vampire fiction is so durably popular because vampires themselves are so malleable. “There’s always one more way that you can take this piece of folklore that we call vampires and turn it into a new story,” he says. “It’s interesting, however, what has happened to vampires in recent years. There has been a tendency in a lot of vampire work to take the obscenity out of vampires.

“Traditionally, they’re supposed to be something that’s full of guilt. They’re perverse. They’re drinking blood, for Pete’s sake.

But vampires can do so much cool stuff that it makes them superattractive. So you’ve got writers who tweak it a little bit, taking away the moral implications of them drinking blood, maybe by giving them synthetic blood, and what you end up with is vampires as the new superheroes.”

Not that Henderson has any real objections to taking such liberties. He says he believes there is room out there for all kinds of vampires. From serial-killer vamps to romance-novel vamps, he says, it’s all fair game.

Still, Henderson is a purist when it comes to his vampires — which is to say that his vampires are pure evil. “As a matter of fact,” he admits, “my vampires are basically like James Bond villains.”

Which is fitting because Alex Van Helsing, a direct descendant from literature’s most famous vampire killer, the Abraham Van Helsing character from Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” is essentially a teenage agent-in-training attached to a super-secret international vampire-hunting organization.

Henderson has a day job as a product marketing manager for Verizon Communication. “Then, when my workday is over, I come home and I pound out vampire novels,” he says.

It stands to reason that he should be writing these things during “vampire hours.”

Book two of the Alex Van Helsing series, already written but untitled, is scheduled to be published in May 2011. Book three will come out in May 2012.

All aboard! Lehrer writes a train thriller

By Aaron Barnhart McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Jim Lehrer loves the bus.

He drove a Continental-Trailways route for a time, after he graduated from high school but before he made his way to the University of Missouri journalism school. His parents ran Kansas Central Lines from 1946 to 1947, a heart-wrenching experience he recounted in his 1992 memoir, “A Bus of My Own.” He collects bus memorabilia and even owns one of the old postwar cruisers.

“Super,” Lehrer’s 20th novel, is not about the bus. It’s about the furthest thing from being about the bus. “Super” is a murder mystery set aboard the Super Chief, a luxury allsleeper-car train that the Santa Fe Railroad operated between Chicago and Los Angeles from 1936 to 1971. It would barrel through Kansas in the middle of the night, often carting Hollywood celebrities — hence its title, “The Train of the Stars.”

It was the kind of train that would make the man in “Folsom Prison Blues” cry.

When the airlines took off, trains began to fade in the national imagination. And that’s when “Super” takes place, in 1956. The cabins aren’t filled to capacity any more. Ike doesn’t take the train, though occasionally Harry Truman does.

In fact, one of the sheer delights of “Super” is seeing the man from Independence aboard a speeding train, holding court in the middle of the night, being the first to hear a fateful gunshot coming from somewhere else on the Super Chief. Lehrer makes the 33rd president a major player in “Super,” which combines the rolling suspense of “Murder on

the Orient Express” with the high jinks of his lighter novels.

I spoke with Lehrer about “Super” and why Truman looms so large in it. An edited transcript follows.

Q:

So what possessed you to transport yourself back to 1956, when you were nowhere near one of these things?

That dream world of the streamliner trains had just been hanging in my head and in my soul since I was a little kid growing up in Kansas. Those Santa Fe trains came plowing through Kansas. They were the dream places. I never was on one of them, but I saw them all my time.

In the small towns of Missouri and Kansas, buses and trains were the adventure vehicles.

They were the way you left. If you wanted to get the hell out, if you went away to the service, if you went away to school, if you were visiting relatives, you got on the bus or got on the train.

Even today, unlike the airlines, when you get on a bus, get on a train, you have the feeling you’re going somewhere. You feel movement. You can look out a window and see people and cars and animals. And when you get where you’re going, you can actually say, “My God! I went somewhere.”

On an airplane, you get off, it’s an airport just like the one where you got on. You don’t have a feeling of having gone anywhere.

A.

Q.

When did you decide that Harry Truman was going to be a major character in your novel?

You know, I didn’t decide that until I put him on the train. I knew he was very much

associated with trains, used to take it in and out of Kansas City and Union Station all the time.

And I checked with the Truman Library in Independence and he did indeed ride the Super Chief once. Not exactly when I have him riding it, but — they even sent me a copy of his ticket.

And then, once I had him on the train, it was, “My God! Harry Truman’s on the train,” and it just went from there. When I was a journalism student at Missouri, Harry Truman, out of office, spoke at the school. And I was chosen to cover the speech. I was so excited.

After the speech, I went over to President Truman and said, “Mr. President, could I ask you a few questions?”

He said, “You want to do an interview?”

(At this point in the retelling, Lehrer lets out a belly laugh.)

“Yes sir.”

“Well, walk with me. Did you like the speech?”

“Yes sir, I did.”

“You want it?”

And so he handed me his speech.

With big letters — they were about a half inch high — in a binder. And we just walked. He didn’t have anyone with him. Someone had just brought him there. It was the damnedest event in my life. I graduated, I went into the Marines and like a fool, I lost that speech. I’ve never been able to find it.

Because of that personal experience and the Kansas City connection, it just seemed right to have Harry Truman on the train.

DEEP TRUTH FROM THE DEEP SOUTH

‘The Help ’ goes beyond usual racial boundaries

By Julia Keller Chicago Tribune

The last time a white writer tried to give prolonged fictional voice to the thoughts and emotions of an oppressed black person in a major novel, the result was devastating — not for literature, which gained a profound and powerful novel titled “The Confessions of Nat Turner” (1967), but for the life of William Styron, the man who wrote it.

“I was labeled ‘psychologically sick,’ ‘morally senile,’ and was accused of possessing ‘a vile racist imagination,’” Styron recalled in his introduction to the 1994 Modern Library edition of the book.

“The major complaint was … how dare a white man write so intimately of the black experience, even presuming to become Nat Turner by speaking in the first person?”

Forty-two years later, “The Help” (2009), a novel narrated, in large part, by African-American maids in the Deep South of the early1960s, was published.

Instead of scorn and enmity, author Kathryn Stockett, who is white, has been greeted with rapturous reviews, spectacular sales and a movie deal.

What’s the difference?

Stockett isn’t certain, but she has been asked about it many times, she said in a phone interview from her Atlanta home.

“I’ve heard people say, ‘I wish a black person had written this.’

Well, they didn’t,” she said, “but I feel that maybe I’ve started a dialogue that wouldn’t have been started otherwise.”

The success of “The Help” might signify that in the time that has passed since the attack on Styron, we have matured and evolved as a culture. We let many voices speak. We have grown more tolerant, perhaps, and more generous in our ideas about storytelling. We have elected an African-American to the presidency. And the hard truths explored in “The Help” — the fact that several generations of African-American women saw their gifts go unacknowledged, saw their humanity ignored — are a part of our national history with which we’re finally willing to reckon.

“The Help” is a huge hit, coming in at No. 3 on the Publishers Weekly list of top-selling novels of 2009 with some 1.1 million copies purchased in hardcover. And it continues to sell well, which is gratifying for those who long to see that rare correlation between

Kathryn Stockett, author of “The Help,” was born and raised in Jackson, Miss. Stockett was in Central Oregon recently as part of the A Novel Idea … Read Together program. quality and sales: Stockett writes with humor and grace, with a natural feel for the rhythms of Southern life and with — most crucially — an awareness of how social change, no matter how sweeping, always comes down to the changing of minds and hearts one at a time.

Asked if she’s been surprised by the book’s enormous success, Stockett said, “A better word is ‘stunned.’ I have no idea how to even think about this, so I just don’t.”

Her voice carries the delicate lilt and soft inflections of the Deep South, and no wonder: She was born and raised in Jackson, Miss. She graduated from the University of Alabama and then headed to New York to work in publishing — much like Skeeter, a character in “The Help.”

But here’s a word of caution: Don’t ask Stockett if she is Skeeter. You’ll be swatted down quicker than a mosquito at a barbecue.

“The very first thing I say at my talk,” said Stockett, who has been touring constantly on behalf of her book, “is, ‘Please don’t think I’m Skeeter.’”

Stockett was in Bend and Redmond on Friday and Saturday at sold out lectures. The events were part of the A Novel Idea … Read Together program.

During her 16 years in New York, Stockett met and married a technology salesman. And she wrote the book that eventually became “The Help.”

“I think New York was a better place to write a story like this. I missed the South, and I had perspective.” Now that she’s back in the South, Stockett wants to write about New York. But that will have to wait: Her next novel, set during the Great Depression, takes place once again in Mississippi.

Does she feel pressure to repeat the success of “The Help”?

“Every once in a while,” she admitted, “I’ll have a panic attack about it.”

Writing “The Help,” the author said, was “exhilarating and challenging and it made me think about things I’d never thought about before. I just think it’s important, as a writer, to make people feel what it’s like to be in someone else’s shoes.”

Viets’ latest is worth reading “Half-Price Homicide”

by Elaine Viets (Obsidian, 272 pgs., 22.95)

By Oline H. Cogdill (Florida) Sun Sentinel

Terrible jobs with nasty bosses, horrible customers and dreadful hours are the foundation of Elaine Viets’ award-winning series. After all, it’s not called the “DeadEnd Job” series for nothing.

But in “Half-Price Homicide,” it’s not just the job that flummoxes

heroine Helen Hawthorne. Without losing track of the strong humor, eccentric characters and the backdrop of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Viets puts Helen through at least three major life-changing situations and forces her to make some hard choices. In the ninth novel in this series, Viets adheres to the tradition of the light, amateur sleuth mystery while giving her character new challenges.

In “Half-Price Homicide,” Helen actually has a good boss in Vera

Salinda, a savvy businesswoman who owns the upscale resale shop. It’s the customers Helen has trouble dealing with. The in-store death of a wealthy developer’s wife makes the shop an unfashionable spot and puts the spotlight on Vera’s business plan.

“Half-Price Homicide’s” breezy and energetic plot moves like lightning while showcasing the myriad characters, especially the eccentric residents of Helen’s close-knit apartment building.

Election law Continued from F1 Citizens United extended this logic to corporations.

Corporate contributions to candidates are still banned, but corporations may now spend freely in candidate elections.

The distinction between contributions and spending has not been popular in the legal academy.

“Buckley is like a rotten tree,” Burt Neuborne, a law professor at New York University, wrote in 1997. “Give it a good, hard push and, like a rotten tree, Buckley will keel over. The only question is in which direction.”

Neuborne wrote that he would prefer reasonable government regulation of both spending and contributions. But he added that “any change would be welcome” and that even a completely unregulated system would be preferable to an intellectually incoherent one.

Theodore Olson, the lawyer who won the Citizens United case, was back in the Supreme Court last month, and he was still pushing on the tree that is Buckley.

Now he has filed an appeal on behalf of the Republican National Committee, which argues that the logic of Citizens United should allow unlimited contributions to political parties, now capped at $30,400 for individuals and forbidden for corporations, so long as they are spent on activities unrelated to federal elections. (The shorthand for this kind of contribution is “soft money.”)

The Supreme Court is quite likely to hear the case, perhaps even over the summer. It presents an interesting hybrid question that tests the limits of the corruption rationale and the meaning of independent spending.

In 2003, in McConnell v.

FEC, the Supreme Court said there was “no meaningful distinction between the

“(Buckley v. Valeo) is like a rotten tree.

Give it a good, hard push and, like a rotten tree, Buckley will keel over. The only question is in which direction.”

— Burt Neuborne, a law professor at New York University, in 1997 national party committees and the public officials who control them.” Large contributions to parties “are likely to create actual or apparent indebtedness on the part of federal officeholders,” the court said, and “are likely to buy donors preferential access to federal officeholders.”

That sounds like the sort of corruption-through-contributions that Buckley meant to prevent.

Or perhaps that has now changed.

In Citizens United, Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, adopted a very narrow definition of corruption. “Ingratiation and access” are not enough, he said.

“The fact that speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that these officials are corrupt,” Justice Kennedy went on. “The appearance of influence or access, furthermore, will not cause the electorate to lose faith in our democracy.”

That statement was in some tension with Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion in Caperton v. AT Massey Coal Co., decided just seven months before Citizens United. In Caperton, Justice Kennedy said $3 million of independent spending to help elect a West Virginia Supreme Court justice could give rise to the appearance of a probability of bias.

The state judge, Justice Kennedy went on, should have disqualified himself from a case involving the coal executive who had spent all that money. The problem, he wrote, was that the judge might appear to feel “a debt of gratitude” In Citizens United, though, Justice Kennedy suggested that politicians were made of sterner stuff. With politicians, he wrote, “there is only scant evidence that independent expenditures even ingratiate.”

Olson was the lawyer who won the Caperton case, too. But he did not mention it in his recent appeal.

Instead, he told the court that bans on soft-money contributions to political parties “are no longer constitutionally tenable” in light of Citizens United. A lower court ruled against Olson’s clients in March, but it seemed to be holding its nose as it did so, saying it was bound by the plain words of McConnell rather than the logic of Citizens United.

The argument in favor of allowing soft-money contributions “carries considerable logic and force,” Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote for a special three-judge panel of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia.

“Under current law, outside groups — unlike candidates and political parties — may receive unlimited donations both to advocate in favor of federal candidates and to sponsor issue ads,” Kavanaugh wrote.

But he added that the arguments about a disparity that “discriminates against the national political parties in political and legislative debates” should be directed to the Supreme Court.

Olson can take a hint, and the tree that is Buckley continues to teeter, leaning more and more toward the deregulation of money and speech in federal campaigns.

Tax targets home sellers 3.8% tax on high-wage earners to fund Medicare, though area brokers predict minimal impact here

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF

By Andrew Moore The Bulletin

Shell in court: Ready to drill in the Arctic PORTLAND — Shell Oil is ready to drill in the Arctic Ocean this summer and has asked a federal appeals court to rule quickly on a challenge by environmentalists concerned about the risk of a major spill after the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

Kathleen Sullivan, an attorney for Shell, says the company has spent at least $3.5 billion on Alaska operations in the past few years as it prepares for exploratory drilling set for July in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas. “Shell has waited years to recover its investment,” Sullivan told a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Portland. “We’re ready to go.”

But a coalition of environmentalists and Native Alaska groups challenging the drilling plans told the court the federal Minerals Management Service failed to consider the potential threat to wildlife and the risk for disaster before it approved the Shell project.

Yuan isn’t top issue, U.S. execs contend Congress and the Obama administration are paying too much attention to China’s currency and not enough to other market-distorting tactics by China’s government. That’s the message being carried by a delegation of senior U.S. executives, representing the American Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, who traveled to Washington recently to add their voice to the conversation.

For months, the U.S. put pressure on China to allow the value of its currency, the yuan, to rise against the dollar. U.S. officials and some economists have predicted that if China allows the value of the yuan to rise, it will mean a smaller trade deficit with China, more American exports and more jobs for American workers.

What the Chamber members want Washington to pay attention to, however, is the more nettlesome issue of how China is patching together an industrial policy. That, they suggest, will do more longterm damage to the United States than will its off-kilter exchange rate. This includes China’s attempts to use regulations to block Western firms from selling their products to Chinese government agencies, new Chinese standards in telecommunications and other areas that would stop the country’s firms from buying Western goods.

Included in the new health care law is a provision to tax unearned income above a certain threshold to help fund Medicare.

According to the National Association of Realtors and others, the profit from the sale of a home or the collection of rent from investment properties is unearned income, meaning certain homeowners

and landlords will be subject to the 3.8 percent tax when it takes effect Jan. 1, 2013.

However, because the threshold limits the tax’s application to certain high-wage earners, the tax won’t likely have an impact on the majority of sellers, said Bill Robie, government affairs director for the Central Oregon Association of Realtors.

“From what I understand, from talking to the (National Association of Realtors),

this was crafted pretty narrowly, so it’s not intended to hit a lot of people,” Robie said. “It will hit some people.”

The National Association of Realtors has a primer on the tax posted on its website, www.realtor.org, under the Government Affairs section. It states that the tax is not a sales tax or transfer tax, as it has been characterized by some critics.

According to the association’s primer, the tax is applicable only if the seller or landlord has an adjusted gross income of more than $200,000 (or $250,000 if filing jointly).

Next week, a merger will close a tough financial period for a Bend insurer — losses, layoffs and millions in expenses. While customers will notice little change, the move spells an end to local control for a company founded in 1995 by members of Central Oregon’s medical community — and once a model for Medicare reform.

Clear One’s fresh start

By Tim Doran • The Bulletin

W

hen Clear One Health Plans officially becomes

a subsidiary of PacificSource Health Plans next week, little will change outwardly.

Bend-based Clear One will keep its name, at least for a while. Customer policies will remain in effect, and the company will still be located on Northeast Conners Avenue, just east of St. Charles Bend.

But the merger, valued at $46 million, will mean new ownership for a company founded in 1995 by the medical community to bring local control to the government-funded Oregon Health Plan, which distributes federal Medicaid dollars. It did not stop there.

Clear One, a name the company adopted in 2009, grew quickly. It added a Medi-

care plan that became a national model, offered commercial health insurance and began trading shares over the counter.

Going public, however, brought new costs and government requirements.

Growth required employees with expertise and a claims system that could handle a bigger load. As Clear One began to adjust, the economic crisis hit, shrinking the company’s portfolio, forcing layoffs and leading to a net annual loss, the company’s first, for 2009.

At about the same time it reported the loss, Clear One submitted another public filing listing 2009 executive pay. The document showed Patricia Gibford, Clear One’s president and CEO, with total compensation of $659,000, the second-highest compensation package among executives of the state’s seven largest health insurance companies.

“I can absolutely guarantee that (total) is not my salary,” she said.

The filing does not show the whole picture, said Gunnar Hansen, Clear One’s executive vice president and chief finan-

cial officer.

More than half of Gibford’s total compensation last year came from bonuses and other compensation separate from her salary, the financial filing shows. The company has incentive programs that provide bonuses when it meets goals, Hansen said. All employees share in it.

For executives, it showed up in compensation filings for 2009, even though it was earned in 2008.

“Every single employee received a bonus for 2008,” Hansen said. “Every single employee received a merit increase in 2009.”

When the economic crisis hit, executives cut their own pay 10 percent, he said.

But it was not enough. Clear One had to cut about 25 jobs in October.

Charge ‘er up: Companies ready to ‘top off’ electric cars

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Electric vehicles are no longer a technology of the future.

Americans will be driving the Nissan Leaf and Coda Sedan by the end of the year, and several other automakers have all-electric and plug-in hybrid models in the pipeline. Now the race is on to build electric vehicle charging stations, where

drivers can pull up and plug in their cars.

Several California companies see enormous opportunity in the development of electric-vehicle infrastructure.

“Now that the world has decided this is a business, everyone wants in,” said Richard Lowenthal, Coulomb Technologies’ co-founder and CEO, who first drove an electric car when he served as mayor of Cupertino, Calif. “We need charging sta-

tions. That’s our business.”

Electric cars currently can travel only a limited number of miles before the batteries need to be recharged, leading to what is known in the industry as “range anxiety.” And while most owners are expected to charge their vehicles overnight at home, some apartment dwellers and others may not have that convenience.

A sweet bite of the Apple I

have to admit, the Apple iPhone is pretty cool. OK, very cool.

The smart phone that has swept the nation since its introduction in 2007 went on sale in Bend last month, and curiosity got the best of me Tuesday. I test-drove an iPhone at the new AT&T store in the Cascade Village Shopping Center.

Let me preface my comments by saying I’m as adept at technology as astrophysics. I use my cell phone, a basic Nokia, to talk, not text or take photos. Borrrrrring.

But I have to say that the iPhone has some attractive features that are not only interesting and fun, but extremely useful.

The iPhone seems like one of those many products in life that you can get by without, but once you try it, you’re intrigued, and you realize how beneficial it could be and start justifying its purchase.

The iPhone of course offers e-mail, Internet, voice and video features, and myriad applications. So do other smart phones, but the iPhone has that cachet, which is appealing for a guy without any.

Its touch screen is convenient, whether tapping the virtual keyboard or scrolling through an e-mail contact list, music selections, photos or apps.

The display reminds me of the touch screens on news programs like CNN, where the newsman zooms in or out on the screen by moving his hands together or apart across the surface. Ditto for the iPhone, but you can accomplish the task by simply moving your thumb and forefinger together or apart. It’s great for zooming in or out on a map, for example.

Touch the stocks icon and you can check the markets or your favorite stock in real time. Checking a stock’s performance over the last couple years? No problem.

There’s a Kindle app to download books. It’s one of more than 185,000 apps said to be available on the phone.

I touched an REI icon to get a Mt. Bachelor ski report and read a tweet of the fine conditions on the slopes.

There’s GPS navigation, music, streaming video. The list goes on.

Hold the iPhone upright for a vertical screen or turn it sideways for a landscape view of material, which automatically orients to the horizontal format — whoa, these software engineers are good.

One feature that makes the iPhone supposedly stand out among competitors is its capability for simultaneous voice and data operation. For example, talk on the phone while you’re scanning the Internet for a restaurant location.

While just about any technology impresses me, I wanted a tech expert to rate the phone. I turned to Richard Luebke, of Sunriver, an electrical engineer who worked in software development and Internet programs at Oracle, Intel and the then-Tandem Computers. He’s not formally affiliated with Apple nor a stockholder, but he’s affiliated with a company that builds financial apps for the iPhone.

Luebke’s had an iPhone from Day 1.

He was sold on its capabilities in 2007 when, as a test, he took his iPhone, not his laptop, to China for a two-week business trip. “I was able to keep up with family and business with just my iPhone — reading e-mail, news, instant messaging, social networks, etc., exclusively from my iPhone,” he wrote in an e-mail.

He has upgraded his iPhone each time one was available. Today, he has the iPhone 3GS with 32 gigabytes of storage.

So why an iPhone over another smart phone? Developing software applications for the iPhone, he’s admittedly biased.

“However, trying to be somewhat objective, (Apple CEO) Steve Jobs’ original three reasons for the iPhone are still the best reasons — its touch interface and seamless integration with calendar and address books makes it the best phone, it’s the best iPod for music and video, and it’s a great mobile Internet device,” he wrote. “… The mobile web browsing experience is amazing and easy to use.” His favorite features: the apps, some of which are “truly revolutionary.”

As a further testimonial: His 3-year-old granddaughter learned how to use the iPhone in minutes and can launch apps, interface with them, view photos, read stories, etc., Luebke said.

The iPhone is priced at $99, $199 and $299, depending on storage. A two-year AT&T service commitment is required. A monthly data/voice plan starts at $70.

I only took a tiny bite of the Apple iPhone, but it was tasty. Do I need one?

No. Do I want one? Well, Father’s Day is just around the corner …

FINANCIAL OVERHAUL

Payday lenders pressure borrowers to get political

By David Lazarus

“What was most surprising was that the callers were opposing a bill that was designed specifically to protect them.”

Los Angeles Times

As legislation advances in Congress to crack down on consumer-unfriendly lending practices, staffers in the offices of California Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein noticed a funny thing last week: Customers of payday lenders were calling by the hundreds to oppose the bill, and all seemed to be repeating the exact same phrases.

The staffers were right to be suspicious.

Payday lenders are notorious for their high fees and interest rates, and they may face new restrictions as part of efforts to overhaul the financial services industry and create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency.

Yet customers of these companies were calling to demand that government authorities leave the industry alone and allow consumers to make their own financial decisions. They said they wanted Boxer and Feinstein to vote against the reform legislation.

“My offices were getting hundreds of calls from the same few phone numbers, and the callers all seemed to be reading from the same script,” Boxer said in an interview. “What was most surprising was that the callers were opposing a bill that was designed specifically to protect them.” She said her office had received more

A pedestrian walks to a Cash Advance store in Richmond, Va. To take out a payday loan, a borrower typically gives a payday lender a postdated personal check that includes the fee and the principal.

Some lenders, like Check Into Cash, have been asking customers to help them kill the proposed Consumer Financial Protection Agency. than 900 calls as of Thursday.

Gil Duran, a spokesman for Feinstein, said his office had received only a handful of calls, but they mirrored those received by Boxer. “It seemed that the callers were being asked to do this,” he said. “It seemed unusual.”

The outpouring of ostensibly spontaneous consumer rage was in fact an effort on the part of the payday-lending industry to sway the vote on financial reform. It

NEW YORK — The Washington Post Co. returned to a profit in the first quarter as declines in print advertising slowed and the company’s cable TV and education businesses continued to grow.

The Post Co. had net income of $45.4 million, or $4.91 per share, in the first three months of the year. That reversed a loss in the same period last year of $19.2 million, or $2.04 per share, brought on by big onetime expenses. Revenue grew 11 percent to $1.17 billion.

With its namesake newspaper struggling, the Post has been relying on its TV and Kaplan education businesses for growth. Now it plans to reduce its traditional role as a publisher even further. It announced Wednesday that Newsweek magazine, which it has owned since 1961, is up for sale. The company’s magazine group

lost $2 million in the latest quarter after losing more than $20 million a year ago. But the company has said it doesn’t see a way to make Newsweek profitable.

from the Consumer Financial Protection Agency’s oversight, leaving them primarily under state control. But Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., has introduced an amendment that would limit the number of loans a payday lender could issue to an individual and allow more repayment options.

Major banks and business groups have lobbied to remove the Consumer Financial Protection Agency from the legislation.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce reported spending nearly $31 million on lobbying during the past three months, though not specifically because of the payday-lender provision.

was also an extraordinary application of pressure on a vulnerable segment of the community: people with high-interest loans who could be financially devastated if the issuers of those loans suddenly demanded their money back.

Steven Schlein, spokesman for the Community Financial Services Association, a payday-lending industry group, acknowledged that the industry was behind the calls. “We do have a grass-roots

campaign going on,” he said. “A lot of our customers and employees are calling.”

Schlein said he was unable to discuss details of the campaign or whether payday lenders were handing scripts to customers.

But Norma Canel’s experience was probably typical of many customers’. She said she and her husband each took out a $300 payday loan about a year ago from a company called Check Into Cash. Her husband has been unable to work because of heart and eye troubles.

“We had bills to pay,” Canel, 55, said. The loans require them each to pay about $45 a month to the lender — that’s an annual interest rate of about 180 percent.

When they stopped by their local Check Into Cash office last week in Clovis, Calif., to make their latest payments, Canel said

they were handed a piece of paper and encouraged by an employee to help the company fight legislation in Washington that it said would be bad for people like them.

“If we don’t act today,” the paper said, “Congress will create a new agency and a government takeover of your personal finances. This new agency would have the power to regulate and restrict your personal credit options.” The paper included contact information for Boxer and Feinstein.

“Tell them to stop the Community Financial Protection Agency” — meaning the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. “Tell them you’re angry about healthcare and now Congress wants to control your right to get credit,” it instructed.

Canel’s impression? “They’re trying to make this into some kind of little-guys-versus-the-bigguys issue,” she said. “It’s not. It’s the payday lenders trying to keep their bread buttered.”

A spokesman for Check Into Cash couldn’t be reached for comment.

In the end, the couple decided not to make any calls. But they may be the exception; other payday-loan customers, based on the number of calls, appear to share the industry’s concerns.

As originally drafted, the reform legislation would generally have exempted payday lenders

Nokia sues Apple again

“Now that the world has decided this is a business, everyone wants in.

Spammers paying others to answer secu rity tests

Bloomberg News Nokia, the world’s biggest mobile phone maker, has filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Apple in its latest salvo over the iPhone and iPad. The lawsuit, filed Friday in federal court in Madison, Wis., marks the fifth patent complaint between the two companies in the past year over smart phone technology.

In the three years since the iPhone was introduced, Apple has seized Nokia’s position as the company that defines the high-end smart phone market. Nokia, which took mobile phones to the Internet more than 10 years ago with its keyboard-based Communicator, was slow to move to the touch screens featured on the bestselling iPhone and on the iPad, introduced this year.

The legal battle began in October, when Finland- based Nokia filed a lawsuit accusing Apple of infringing 10 patents.

The five patents in the newest complaint relate to enhanced speech and data transmission, and antenna configurations that improve performance and save space, Nokia said.

Tax Continued from G1 In addition, the existing capital gains exemption on the sale of a primary residence survives ($250,000 for individuals or $500,000 if filing jointly).

For example, if a married couple filing jointly sells their primary residence and gains $550,000 in the sale but has an adjusted gross income of less than $250,000, the couple would not be subject to the tax.

If the couple’s adjusted gross income is more than $250,000, they would pay the 3.8 percent tax on the $50,000 above their capital gains exemption of $500,000.

Andy Zook, a mortgage broker and co-founder of Arbor Mortgage in Bend, said he’s not surprised at the tax, given the deficits the government is running up. But he doubts it will have much of an impact, especially in Central Oregon, noting that “it’s going to be a long time before anybody has any profit on a house to begin with.”

Home values have declined dramatically in the region in the past few years, with the median sale price for singlefamily homes in Bend notching declines of 50 percent from their peak in May 2007.

“Every level of government has huge levels of deficits, so we’re going to see proposed taxes on everything and anything that moves,” Zook said.

For landlords, unearned income is essentially net investment income, or gross rents minus expenses, according to the National Association of Realtors. The same income thresholds apply.

If all of a person’s income is derived from rent, the tax is not applicable, as the ownership and operation of real estate is the person’s occupation, according to the Realtors association.

Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies, shows a charging station similar to the ones the company has installed around the San Francisco Bay area. These are far more than parking poles with electricity — the ChargePoint Network includes features like trip planning and an iPhone application that gives directions to available charging stations. The idea is that drivers will sign up for a monthly ChargePoint Network pass and can swipe a card to pay for charging sessions.

Charge Continued from G1 “People are scared to death of getting stranded on the highway and not knowing what to do. You can’t call a friend and say, ‘Can you bring me a gallon of gas?’” said Jason Rissanen, a partner in Deloitte’s clean-tech practice who focuses on electric cars. “This is an emerging market, and people naturally want a buffer range.”

There are two solutions to range anxiety: better batteries and charging stations. Coulomb is creating charging stations that are far more than parking poles with electricity. The company’s ChargePoint Network includes features like trip planning and an iPhone application that gives directions to available charging stations. The idea is that drivers will sign up for a monthly ChargePoint Network pass and can swipe a card to pay for charging sessions.

Coulomb currently has 136 ChargePoint stations installed in the United States. The charging stations are essentially an extension of the so-called “smart” electric grid, and are able to communicate with one another and with the utilities through sophisticated software.

Daniel Ahn, a partner at Voyager Capital and an investor who sits on Coulomb’s board, said many venture capitalists in Silicon Valley have poured money into companies like Tesla Motors, which makes electric cars, without thinking of the infrastructure needed to support them.

“If you look at the EV space, you’ve got the cars themselves, and the batteries,” Ahn said. “Coulomb has a broad vision around networked energy, and the ‘Aha!’ moment for me was thinking about the network effect.”

The company, which was founded in 2007, raised $14 million in second-round venture funding earlier this year and has 60 employees.

Better Place, a company in Palo Alto that has received a lot of publicity around its concept of battery-switching stations, is also working on a network of charge spots for workplaces and public parking lots. “Most of these cars are getting in the 100-mile range, and if you have a ubiquity of charge spot coverage, most people will be able to ‘top off,’ or recharge enough to get to their destination,” said Better Place representative Julie Mullins. “Battery switching is really for the longer drive.”

Better Place already has 1,000 charge spots in Israel, its key market so far.

The EV Project This summer, the nascent U.S. electric-vehicle infrastructure will expand. Arizona, California, Tennessee, Oregon and Washington are all part of the Department of Energy-funded EV Project, which hopes to glean how electric vehicles perform in different climates.

The $100 million federal stimulus grant will allow more than 11,000 charging stations, including more than 6,000 public charging stations, to be installed in test cities.

San Diego is the only California city currently part of the EV Project, but that may change.

More than 7,000 people have paid $99 to reserve an all-electric Nissan Leaf, and customers should be driving them by the end of the year. Nissan thinks most Leaf customers will buy and install a home charging station or dock, but the automaker is eager to see public stations as well.

“Rome was not built in a day, and the integration of EVs and charging stations will not happen overnight, either,” said Nissan representative Tim Gallagher. “But in our judgment, between home and public stations most customers will have the peace of mind they need.”

Some current electric-vehicle drivers think the focus on charging stations is overblown.

“We drive unconsciously today because there are gas stations on every corner,” said Zan Dubin Scott of the advocacy group Plug In America. “The fact is that if you are in an electric car, there will be a range limit. I’ve driven an electric car for eight years with very limited infrastructure, and it hasn’t been a big problem. I charge at home, and I live in Santa Monica, where there is free charging at my local shopping center.

The solution is planning.”

MUMBAI, India — Faced with stricter Internet security measures, some spammers have begun borrowing a page from corporate America’s playbook: They are outsourcing.

Sophisticated spammers are paying people in India, China and other developing countries to tackle the simple tests known as captchas, which ask Web users to type in a string of semiobscured characters to prove they are human beings and not spam-generating robots.

The going rate for the work ranges from 80 cents to $1.20 for each 1,000 deciphered boxes, according to online exchanges like Freelancer.com, where dozens of such projects are bid on every week.

Luis von Ahn, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon who was a pioneer in devising captchas, estimates that thousands of people in developing countries, primarily in Asia, are solving these puzzles for pay. Some operations appear fairly sophisticated and involve brokers and middlemen, he added.

“There are a few sites that are coordinated,” he said.

“They create the awareness.

Their friends tell their friends, who tell their friends.”

Sitting in front of a computer screen for hours on end deciphering convoluted characters and typing them into a box is monotonous work. And the pay is not great when compared to more traditional dataentry jobs. Still, it appears to be attractive enough to lure young people in developing countries

where even 50 cents an hour is considered a decent wage. Unskilled farm workers earn about $2 a day in many parts of India.

Ariful Islam Shaon, a 20-yearold college student in Bangladesh, said he has a team of 30 other students who work for him filling in captchas. (The term is a loose acronym for “completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart.”)

Shaon, who agreed to speak to a reporter only over an Internet chat, said he gets the work on websites and is paid through Internet money transfer services. He does not know the identities of the people paying him, nor does he have any interest in finding out. If he asks them, he said, “they maybe do not give me my payments.”

Executives at Internet companies like Google say they do not worry a lot about people being paid to decode captchas because they are one of several tools that websites use to secure themselves.

Some sites, for instance, might also send confirmation codes as text messages to cell phones, which then have to be entered into a separate verification page before new e-mail accounts are activated.

Clear One’s net income

Continued from G1

Clear One’s roots Clear One, then known as Central Oregon Independent Health Services, began in 1995 as an effort to administer the Oregon Health Plan in the region.

Doctors, nurse practitioners, hospital executives and others in the Central Oregon medical community wanted to bring some local control to the delivery of managed medical care.

Gibford, a registered nurse and former executive with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon, became the first, and only, employee working out of an attic office in a medical clinic.

Four years later, COIHS expanded into the other half of the federally subsidized health care system, becoming the first provider-sponsored organization in the country to offer a managed care plan for Medicare patients.

Known as a Medicare+Choice plan, it provides the same coverage as traditional Medicare, plus other services for those who pay a monthly premium.

The move gained COIHS national recognition, and in 2003, Medicare+Choice became a component of President George W. Bush’s Medicare reform plan.

The company continued to grow, branching into commercial health insurance, offering policies to large companies, then small companies and, later, plans for individuals and families. Clear One acquired Trusteed Plan Service Corp., a Tacoma, Wash.-based third-party administrator in 2008.

Membership increased, from about 1,000 at the start to 35,000 within 10 years. Today, total membership is between 50,000 and 55,000, Gibford said.

Clear One also expanded its geographical reach, to Eastern Oregon, the Columbia Gorge, the Willamette Valley, Montana and South Dakota.

Along the way, the company changed its name to Clear Choice Health Plans, then last year to Clear One Health Plans.

Gibford’s office location changed, too.

In 2008, the company moved into its 78,000-square-foot headquarters, where it occupies the top two floors. The first floor is available for retail.

Last month, the building received LEED Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council for its environmentally-friendly features. PacificSource plans to make the Clear One building its center for government health insurance operations, administering the Oregon Health Plan and Medicare programs from the east-side building.

Going public To finance its growth, Clear One needed capital. It could not turn to its owners, the medical community. Some of the original doctors and health care officials who helped start COIHS had retired or moved.

The region’s population boom brought many new doctors and others in health care to the region, but not enough who wanted to join. “When I first came to Bend in 1995, the medical community was pretty cohesive,” Gibford said. “In the last four to five years, things have changed a lot around here.”

To raise money, Clear One decided to conduct a limited public stock offering in 2005. Both Gibford and Hansen said if they could turn back the clock, they would not take Clear One public.

“I think we would all say if we had it to do over again, we wouldn’t,” Gibford said.

Clear One did not realize the financial gains it expected, and the regulatory requirements for public

Next week, Bend-based Clear One Health Plans will become a subsidiary of PacificSource Health Plans of Springfield.

Started by local medical officials in 1995, Clear One became an innovator in managed care, but growing pains and the economic crisis led to a net loss for 2009.

companies greatly expanded the company’s administrative costs.

Attorney fees alone added about $1 million a year, Gibford said.

“This really took us by surprise,” she said.

Hansen said the move from private to public brought a logarithmic increase in complexity.

Coupled with those expenses came problems processing claims.

In late 2007, Clear One announced it would outsource its claims processing to a Seattle company, Adaptis, and cut about 20 percent of its work force. Company officials predicted the outsourcing and severance packages would add $3.7 million to the company’s expenses. Last year, Clear One ended its contract with Adaptis and signed one with TriZetto Group, of Newport Beach, Calif.

The challenges Clear One encountered showed up in the company’s bottom line. It posted net income of $9.62 million and $11.43 million for 2004 and 2005, respectively, its reports show. It dropped to $6.54 million for 2006 and $2.15 million for 2007.

Improvement came in 2008, as the company reduced operating and medical expenses and increased net income more than 50 percent, from $2.15 million to $3.26 million.

To continue growing and remain strong for the long term, Clear One created a strategic plan in 2008 and ramped up.

Then came the economic collapse in late 2008.

Membership dropped, according to Clear One’s financial filings. Hospital and medical expenses increased. Administrative expenses jumped also, fueled by costs related to the sale to PacificSource, and Clear One’s purchase of Trusteed. Trusteed added revenue, but it also added expense.

Like other companies, Clear One had to cut costs in 2009. Executives took a 10 percent pay cut, Hansen said.

“That wasn’t enough to right the infrastructure,” he said. “We went on in October to lay some folks off.”

Cutting 25 positions reduced expenses, after the payout of employee-severance packages, which hit Clear One’s books in the fourth quarter of 2009.

About six months later, before the memory of layoffs had faded, executive pay and bonuses earned in 2008 showed up in reports filed for 2009, along with the $2.8 million loss in net income.

While Gibford’s total compensation ranked second, it was well below the executive at the top, John B. McMullen Jr., for-

mer president of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon, the state’s largest insurance company. McMullen, who announced his retirement in September 2008, received about $1.4 million, according to compensation documents filed with the state.

The Lund Report, a website dedicated to health care news, reported on Oregon health care executives’ compensation on March 17. The Bulletin also ranked total compensation and obtained the same results.

The compensation reports from the Insurance Division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services should be viewed with caution, spokeswoman Cheryl Martinis wrote in an e-mail. Executives who work for companies that operate in more than one state may receive additional compensation not reflected in Oregon filings. Also, pay for an executive who began work in the middle of the year would be lower than expected, and some compensation includes retirement packages, Martinis wrote. McMullen, of Regence, announced his retirement in September 2008, according to a state report.

Clear One rewarded other employees, too, said Hansen, whose total compensation reached $472,000 last year.

“As chief financial officer, I made sure every single year the budget included merit increases,” he said. “We were not going to eliminate merit increases in any year I was here.”

The merger Being a financially healthy company with a diverse line of products, Clear One became attractive to companies seeking to expand.

In April 2008, Agate Resources, a Eugene-based company, approached Clear One about buying the Bend insurer, according to Clear One documents. Clear One rejected the offer. In February 2009, Gibford warned shareholders in a letter that Agate might try to contact them directly with an offer.

Five months later, PacificSource came calling, according to Clear One’s 2010 proxy statement, eventually making a preliminary offer of $21 a share. Talks and research continued until March 2009, when Clear One rejected a $25-a-share offer, finding several conditions of the offer unacceptable.

Two more companies, identified as Buyer A and Buyer B in the proxy statement, approached Clear One in April 2009, eventually making preliminary offers between $15 and $18 per share and $17 and $25, respectively.

Clear One ultimately rejected the offers, which for Buyer A did not change. Buyer B’s revised offer contained cash and stock from a new corporation.

Meanwhile, Clear One had reached out to PacificSource to gauge its interest. A new offer from PacificSource with fewer conditions and an increase to $26 a share ultimately proved successful. The two companies announced the deal on Dec. 30.

Being able to work out an agreement with PacificSource pleased Gibford and Hansen and brought a measure of relief.

As leaders of a public company, Clear One executives and board members are required to seek the best financial deal for shareholders, despite what that may mean for the overall fate of the company or its place in the community.

If asked to pick a company, Gibford said, she would choose PacificSource.

“Their roots aren’t much different than ours,” she said, noting they administer the state’s Healthy KidsConnect program. “I think it’s about the best match we could find.”

Hansen agreed.

“We are thankful that the best

deal did come from an entity that (will) be a benefit to the community,” he said.

Little change for customers Executives from Clear One and PacificSource are scheduled to close the deal May 21 in Portland.

When complete, Clear One will become a wholly owned subsidiary of PacificSource, which provides insurance services to more than 182,000 people and has additional offices in Bend, Medford and Portland, and Boise, Coeur d’Alene and Idaho Falls in Idaho.

The change in ownership should not be noticeable, said Colleen Thompson, PacificSource marketing communications manager. Customers will continue to work with the same Clear One staff members, obtaining health care through the same network.

PacificSource plans eventually to put its own name on Clear One’s business, Thompson said, but that will take two to three years.

Hansen said PacificSource also has agreed to honor all Clear One employment agreements.

Gibford is the only employee PacificSource specifically identifies in its state filings who will not continue after the merger.

She will retire, and Ken Provencher, PacificSource president and CEO, will lead Clear One as well. According to the proxy statement, an employment agreement negotiated before any sale discussion calls for Gibford to receive a $952,500 severance payment, which will serve as retirement.

“You have to protect yourself when you’re at the top of the heap,” she said, adding that she has no retirement plan from Clear One. Gibford, who has become a health care expert in the region and state, has no specific plans, other than relaxing, at least for a few months. She might take up some consulting work.

While winters will likely be spent in warmer climates, Gibford said she will return to Bend in the summers.

Watching the sale of the company she built and guided will be difficult, she said, but she compares it to having children. They grow up, move away, and sometimes even change their names.

“I feel very good about it,” she said. “I feel good about what we’ve accomplished. It’s probably the only way I could retire.”

The Associated Press

BOSTON — A financial tremor in one corner of the globe can leave cracks in an investment portfolio. It’s a painful lesson just as many U.S. investors are regaining their confidence.

The stock market remained volatile last week. One of the triggers, if not the trigger, is Greece, whose debt troubles threaten the pace of a global economic recovery. It’s a growing concern even though the country’s population is less than one-third of California’s.

But the overriding issue is the financial health of Europe, and of an economic alliance on a continent that still matters despite faster growth in places like China and India.

Investors worry that a $144 billion aid package for Greece won’t be adequate to keep debt problems in Europe from spreading — not just there, but here as well.

In the short-term, investors trying to escape fallout from Greece have been shifting toward the safest types of bonds,

with the trade-off of lower yields.

What’s more, they’re exiting stocks, as seen in last week’s selloff. It’s like late 2008, on a smaller scale. “You’re seeing something of a worldwide flight to safety,” says David Joy, chief market strategist for Columbia Management.

As markets have shown last week, expect more ups and downs in coming months, in contrast with the relative calm that had settled in over the past year.

In such times, the chance for rash investment decisions grows — think of the many investors who pulled out of stocks in early 2009 out of fear, only to miss the subsequent rally.

“You’ve got to prepare psychologically for these things to happen,” Joy says, “so you’re not forced into emotional decisions.”

‘Entry-level’ Mercedes still packs on the extras

By Steven Cole Smith The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel

The term “entry level” can mean a lot of things in the automotive market — with Hyundai, it means a sub-$10,000 Accent, and with Ferrari, it means a $188,000 F430. Somewhere in between is the entry-level MercedesBenz, which is the C300, at just less than $34,000.

For a lot of manufacturers such as Mercedes and BMW, dealers are conflicted over the entry-level issue: Sure, they’d like a comparatively inexpensive model to sell, but if that model is perceived as too cheap, they’re afraid it will erase some of the brand’s luster.

Case in point: When Mercedes introduced the 190 in 1984, some dealers embraced it, but others insisted it meant Mercedes was no longer exclusively a premium brand. And until Mercedes got a handle on the 190’s quality, it was indeed considered a negative. But since then, Mercedes has consistently offered an appropriate entry-level model, and arguably, the best yet is the current-generation C-Class, introduced in 2008.

The car does not look at all out of place parked on a dealer’s lot next to a $90,000 S-Class.

The C300 comes in two basic models: the Luxury and the Sport.

From the outside, there’s little difference. The less expensive one is the Sport, because it is offered with a six-speed manual transmission, while the Luxury has a seven-speed automatic standard.

That transmission is a $1,490 option on the Sport.

The test car was a C300 Sport, with that automatic transmission and quite a few additional options — a $2,300 Premium Package that added Sirius satellite radio, heated front seats, rain-sensing wipers and upgraded seats, and a $1,500 Advanced Agility Package, with

For some time, Mercedes has consistently offered an appropriately priced, almost-luxury, “entrylevel” model. Arguably, the best to date is the C-Class. The C300, around $34,000, does not look at all out of place parked next to a $90,000 S-Class.

2010 Mercedes-Benz C300 Base price: $33,600 As tested: $41,110 Type: Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sedan Engine: 3.0-liter, 228-horsepower V-6 engine mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission Mileage: 18 mpg city, 26 mpg highway

bigger 18-inch tires and wheels, and steering wheel-mounted paddles that allowed the driver to shift the automatic transmission manually. Several smaller options, including burl walnut interior trim, and shipping costs raised the list price from $33,600 to $41,110.

This is not to say that, at $33,600, the C300 Sport isn’t well-appointed: Standard equipment includes a power sunroof, an eight-speaker sound system with Bluetooth, plus all the power-operated equipment you’d expect, as well as a long list of safety features. All C300s have the same 3.0-liter, 228-horsepower V-6 engine.

On the road, the C300 Sport handles quite well, though it

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars via New York Times News Service

Weighing in at nearly 5,500 pounds, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is laden with high technology with a sticker price of $245,000.

Possessed by Germans, but the spirit is British New York Times News Service

Given that German blood flows through the veins of British royalty, it is perhaps fitting that the most blue-blooded of English motorcar companies, Rolls-Royce, has produced an offspring that carries a healthy dose of Bavarian DNA. To be specific, the latest model, the Ghost, is a BMW at its core. As was the case three centuries ago when England turned to Hanover to fill its throne, the cross-cultural pollination stemmed from practical considerations.

The Teutonic underpinnings make sound economic sense. By adopting the long-wheelbase platform of the existing BMW 760Li, and the company’s big V-12 engine, Rolls-Royce engineers and designers preserved the resources to tailor a fine British suit to clothe the German muscle underneath.

After BMW acquired the RollsRoyce name — and little else — some seven years ago, it developed the Ghost’s two predecessors essentially from scratch. Those cars, the Phantom and the Drophead Coupe, have proved quite successful. Perhaps BMW’s surprisingly uncanny sense of what constitutes Britishness can be traced to having done most of the development work on the third-generation

Q:

We all know about Toyota’s recent acceleration problems. Now, deep discounts are being offered on its cars.

As a potential buyer, some of these specials are enticing — if you’re confident the problems have been eliminated.

Have any of the vehicles that were recalled or fixed before being sold had any problems?

Or do the occasional reports we still hear involve vehicles that weren’t recalled or fixed?

Are Toyotas safe to buy again?

So much misinformation is circulating on this issue that it’s hard to know what to believe. I don’t look at the issue of a stuck throttle or unintended acceleration in the same light as many consumers and media watchdogs.

I constantly see folks driving vehicles with wornout or grossly underinflated tires, broken windshields, unworking lights, sagging springs or suspensions, structural body damage and the like, so it’s difficult to focus on an issue that can be resolved instantly by shifting into neutral or shutting off the ignition — and no, the steering will not lock when turning the key to “off.” The key cannot be turned to “lock” or removed from the switch unless the transmission shift

A:

doesn’t feel as sporty as a BMW 3-Series, especially in regards to the steering feel. The ride is firm but not punishing, though if your top priority is comfort, the Luxury model may suit you better. Brakes are excellent, and overall stability is appropriately Mercedes-like.

Inside, though, it’s almost as though Mercedes designers gave up. Without the leather option, the vinyl-covered front seats are com-

fortable enough, but have a down market feel. The instrument panel and dashboard are functional but painfully plain. In back, the rear seat is adequate for two adults, very tight for three, but all may wish for more legroom.

Everything works, and works well, but the new Hyundai Sonata has the C300 beat for interior quality.

That said, the Hyundai does not have that big Mercedes star in the grille, and that’s worth extra.

In 1989, the Mercedes 190 with a 158-horsepower six-cylinder engine and far less equipment than this C300, started at about $32,000, or about $2,000 less than this 2010 model.

If you can overlook the plainJane interior, this car is a bargain.

Bottom line: No Toyota was ever unsafe to buy

Range Rover (since 2002) and its campy revival of the Mini Cooper.

With the Ghost, the challenge was no less tricky, and the importance of getting it right was never more essential. The brand would have a difficult time remaining profitable if it relied only on its loyal but tiny cadre of customers.

What it needed was a car with broader appeal, greater versatility and a less daunting price. Yes, Rolls-Royce needed a daily driver.

“The Ghost is meant to offer our customers a vehicle that can be used in a wider range of driving situations,” Paul Ferraiolo, the company’s president for North America, said recently.

Many Rolls-Royce owners are not, in fact, drivers, but the Ghost’s base sticker price of $245,000 may be a bit more palatable to today’s diet-conscious luxury tastes than the Phantom’s sobering $380,000 price tag — or the Drophead Coupe at (gulp!) $433,000.

The Ghost is an abbreviation of one of the Rolls-Royce greats, the Silver Ghost, which made its debut in 1906. Autocar called it the “best car in the world.” The new Ghost seems to occupy the pinnacle of an emerging class of six-figure luxury sedans, above the Bentley Flying Spur and new entries like the Aston Martin Rapide and the Porsche Panamera.

system is placed in park.

In no way am I minimizing the crashes associated with this problem, but no stuck throttle or unintended acceleration should ever last long enough to become a tragedy. Just as every motorist should know how to deal with a sudden tire failure, every motorist should understand and be aware of how to deal with this scenario and practice shifting to neutral and shutting off the ignition.

With that said, even though I’m not a huge fan of Toyota, I recognize their longstanding reputation for quality and durability. The number of vehicles in question is a fraction of their production volume. Are they safe to buy again? I don’t think they were ever unsafe, so the great deals being offered make buying a new Toyota exceptionally attractive.
