A snapshot of the future in America’s heartland

By David Klepper McClatchy-Tribune News Service

GARDEN CITY, Kan. — Your home can be your birthplace.

Or where you raise a family. Or where you bury your kin.

For a growing number of Americans, home is far-west Kansas in a city of 28,000, a world away from native Mogadishu, Mexico City and Myanmar.

It’s where women in burqas stroll down a Norman Rockwell Main Street that is festooned with Fourth of July banners, and where a Buddhist temple sits alongside grocery stores selling Mexican soft drinks and 50-pound bags of jasmine rice.

“This is my home. I want to become American,” said Abshiro Warsame, a Somali woman who works the late shift at the nearby Tyson beef packing plant in Holcomb.

Warsame came to the U.S. seven years ago, after her husband was murdered. An American flag hangs in her small, shared flat. In her spare time, she studies English and Spanish.

By 2050, the Census Bureau predicts, the United States will have a new ethnic minority: nonHispanic whites. Already, nonHispanic whites are a minority in California, Texas, New Mexico and Hawaii, as well as in about 1 in 10 U.S. counties.

America’s future just seems to have arrived early here.

ways timber 5payments help What could happen if millions in federal funds disappear

Still a tourist favorite, even with its flaws

By Katharine Q. Seelye New York Times News Service

PHILADELPHIA — Its surface is pockmarked. Carbuncles sprout from its sides. When it was cast, hot metal oozed down and hardened in a misshapen molten mass near the lip. It has not rung in more than 150 years. And, of course, it is cracked.

Still, the Liberty Bell attracts 5.2 million visitors a year, about 8,000 every day during the summer; 12,000 are expected today, the Fourth of July.

For many visitors, the focal point is the jagged crack. They gape and pose in front of it, rotating in and out for photos.

SALEM — Larry Bowden, of Bend, joined the Independent Party in January because of his distaste for the country’s twoparty system.

But as a result of his new party affiliation, he can expect a lot of attention over the next few weeks — from the very parties he’d hoped to get away from.

This month, the Independent Party will hold its first-ever Internet primary, and both Republican and Democratic candidates are hoping to secure its nomination in competitive races across the state.

Thanks to the positive connotation of the party name, political observers believe the nomination could spell the difference in tightly fought races, including the one in Bend’s House District 54 — where both Rep. Judy Stiegler, D-Bend, and her Republican opponent, Jason Conger, are seeking to be labeled “Independent.”

That’s why Bowden, a 59-yearold lumber broker, and the more than 1,800 other Independent Party members in the Bend-area legislative district are likely to feel politically popular in the coming days.

Seeking the Independent nod, Stiegler and Conger get creative

Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties have received a federal forest subsidy known as timber payments since 2001, but the money is scheduled to expire in two years. The money, which counties in other states also receive, pays for roads, education and “Title III” forest services. Title III money can be used to minimize wildfire danger in communities and to pay for search and rescue.

Wildfire prevention

A

spigot that supplies federal funding to Central Oregon and areas in 38 other states is gradually turning off, with a forest subsidy known as timber payments set to expire in two years.

The effects of such a loss would be wide ranging, dealing a blow to

school districts, search and rescue efforts, wildfire prevention, courtordered community service programs and even the fight to rid the area of noxious weeds.

In the meantime, the payments are decreasing by 10 percent annually. Counties throughout Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Montana and other states have used timber payments over the years to help pay for schools, road maintenance and other services.

Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties have received $73.6 million in federal money through the program.

Legislation approved in Congress in 2000 was designed to steer millions of dollars to Oregon counties hit hard by a sharp decrease in logging. The legislation was intended to make sure counties with swaths of federal land continued to receive revenue from the federal government.

Under the theory that the federal government doesn’t pay property taxes on its forest-

lands, it began handing out timber revenues in 1908 to go to local schools and roads. At that time, Congress agreed to return 25 percent of proceeds from national forest logging to the forests’ counties.

In the 1990s, those payments sharply dropped as a result of lawsuits and environmental restrictions, which axed the amount of logging taking place.

The original legislation, passed in 2000, was slated to expire in 2006, but lawmakers from Oregon got a one-year extension into an Iraq funding bill and then a four-year, $3.3 billion extension in 2008 as part of the $700 billion legislation that bailed out Wall Street.

That means the payments will expire in 2012. County officials hope for more extensions, but they’re not counting on them.

Larry Bowden and other Independent Party voters could play a big role in the state House race between incumbent Democrat Judy Stiegler and Republican Jason Conger.

“I have chosen to be (an) Independent because I really feel that both parties are not working in the benefit of the country,” said Bowden, of Bend.

Sen. Robert Byrd accumulated many things during his half-century in the Senate: immense power, a reputation for oratory and records for longevity notable among them. He also had a penchant for acquiring that most precious of Capitol commodities: real estate.

Like many veteran lawmakers, Byrd equated Capitol office space with prestige and influence.

With Byrd’s death last Monday, the passing last year of Sen. Ted Kennedy and the imminent departure of other senior lawmakers, spacious Capitol offices will be again opening up. Senators and their top aides are — with all due respect, of course — already pondering whether to make a play for these top-tier versions of what are known as Senate “hideaway� offices. “There is going to be a real land rush around here,� noted one top official, who did not want to talk on the record about potential interest in vacant office space for fear of being seen as ghoulish. — New York Times News Service

CINCINNATI — The congressman was dripping with sweat, and his face was as red as a tomato as he moved through a crowded park here, passing out dozens of plastic cups bearing his name. “Hi, I’m Steve Driehaus,� he said, leaning down to shake a woman’s hand. “I’m your congressman, and I need your help in November.�

While all candidates ask voters for support, the pitch from Driehaus is more pointed than most. He is among the class of Democrats who face the challenge of running in difficult districts without the same enthusiasm and expected voter turnout that helped the party expand its congressional majorities when Barack Obama led the ticket two years ago.

The race highlights a central question of this election cycle: What chance do Democrats have of defending House districts, like the one here in Cincinnati and a dozen more across the country, where, by narrow margins in 2008, they captured seats held by Republicans?

The prospects for Democrats holding on to the House, and perhaps even the Senate, could rest with whether legions of first-time or occasional voters who supported Obama, including a high percentage of African-Americans, return to the polls this year.

The contest in Ohio’s 1st Congressional District offers one of the best case studies in the country. The campaign is among a dozen rematches in this election cycle: Steve Chabot, who was first elected in the 1994 Republican sweep, lost his seat to Driehaus by four percentage points — 14,772 votes — and is fighting to win it back.

If Republicans are to win control of the House, party leaders are relying on candidates like Chabot to whittle away the 39seat Democratic majority. Their strategy is rooted in the belief that the Republican base is significantly more energized than it was two years ago.

The congressional race, which includes most of Cincinnati and several suburbs and townships, offers a laboratory on how Democrats are working to hold their majority in the House. Two years ago, 53 percent of voters here in Hamilton County selected Obama, the first time a Democratic candidate for president won in 44 years.

BP contractors clean up oil on the beach in Gulf Shores, Ala. Oil has been washed well inland on the beach by Hurricane Alex as it made its way across the southern Gulf of Mexico. Now, crews working to block millions of gallons of oil from reaching land may soon have a giant on their side, if a weekend test of a new skimmer goes well.

Giant oil skimmer tests Gulf cleanup

By Tom Breen The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — A Taiwanese vessel dubbed “A Whale,� which its owners describe as the largest oil skimmer in the world, began showing its capabilities cleaning up oil Saturday just north of the Macondo Deepwater well site. An April 20 explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig there killed 11 workers and began what is now the largest oil spill in Gulf history.

The vessel will cruise a 25square-mile test site through today, according to TMT Ship-

ping, the company that created A Whale by retrofitting an oil tanker after the explosion sent millions of gallons of crude spilling into the Gulf.

The Coast Guard, along with BP, is waiting to see if the vessel can live up to its makers’ promise of being able to process up to 21 million gallons of oil-fouled water a day.

The ship arrived in the Gulf on Wednesday, but officials have wanted to test its capability as well as have the federal Environmental Protection Agency sign off on the water it will pump

back into the Gulf. Although the ship cleans most of the oil from seawater, trace amounts of crude remain.

The wait has frustrated some local officials, who say the mammoth skimmer would be a gamechanger in preventing drifting streams of oil from washing ashore on vulnerable coastlines.

Also Saturday, a smaller flotilla of oil skimmers was back at work along the Gulf Coast, after being forced to stand down for several days because of nasty weather whipped up by distant Hurricane Alex.

A newly tooled Taiwanese supertanker dubbed “A Whale,� pictured Saturday in the Gulf of Mexico, is longer than three World Cup soccer fields and as high as a 10-story building.

SANGE, Congo — A tanker truck hauling fuel on a rural eastern Congo highway overturned, gushing oil and exploding in a massive fireball that killed about 220 bystanders, including many who had been watching the World Cup in flimsy roadside shacks, officials and witnesses said Saturday.

The Red Cross said at least 61 children and 36 women were among the dead. Witnesses said dozens of people had descended on the truck to siphon fuel illegally from the wreckage with jerry-cans and plastic buckets, apparently unaware of the danger.

U.N. peacekeepers rushed to evacuate more than 200 wounded from the scene by helicopter and ambulance, while Red Cross teams carried the charred bodies from the scene in body bags and buried them in two mass graves a few miles away.

The truck overturned as it was trying to pass a minibus late Friday near the village of Sange, near the Burundi border, said Mana Lungwe, manager of the Congolese oil company that owns the truck. The vehicle began gushing oil, then burst into flames an hour later.

As oil began leaking from the damaged tanker, Pakistani peacekeepers from a nearby U.N. base “came and told people to get away from the area, but people refused to leave,� said Bedide Mwasha, a 45year-old resident. “Men, women and children, even (government) soldiers, were stealing petrol,� Mwasha said.

Desperately poor people in Congo — which is still struggling to recover from a 19982002 war — often descend quickly around damaged oil trucks leaking fuel on roads and highways, carting it away with plastic jugs, unaware of the danger of doing so.

SAN FRANCISCO — President Barack Obama on Saturday promised to ramp up the number of clean-energy jobs in the U.S., with his administration’s goal fueled in part by roughly $2 billion in new conditional commitments to two solar companies.

Abengoa SA was offered a $1.45 billion loan guarantee by the U.S. Department of Energy to build a 250-megawatt solar plant in Arizona, and Abound Solar Manufacturing was offered a $400 million loan guarantee toward two plants where thin-solar panels will be manufactured. The guarantees through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and other measures are expected by the awardees to create more than 5,000 jobs, according to a statement from the White House.

Obama during his weekly address said the investments will help the country establish leadership in “cutting-edge” solar technology, and create jobs to aid economic recovery efforts.

Obama, in announcing the new energy-related commitments, also took aim at Republicans, saying they are holding up the extension of unemployment insurance for workers without jobs, “a move that only ends up holding back our recovery. It doesn’t make sense.”

ence to leaked diplomatic cables last year in which Eikenberry expressed reservations about the scope of the troop surge urged

by McChrystal. He also branded Afghan President Hamid Karzai an unreliable partner.

Recent days have brought a concerted effort to set a new tone.

Petraeus stopped in Brussels en route to Kabul to brief NATO allies about the state of the war, and Eikenberry accompanied him back to the Afghan capital.

Many observers believe it is difficult to know how the relationship of Petraeus and Eikenberry will play out. The military-civilian partnership is a key element of the American strategy in Afghanistan, which calls for battlefield pressure on the Taliban to be tightly linked to improved governance meant to win over the population.

Petraeus was a friend and mentor to McChrystal, and a driving force behind the counterinsurgency strategy that McChrystal had been working to implement.

Some of those close to the ousted general blame the American envoy, at least in part, for fostering the antagonistic climate that led to McChrystal’s intemperate remarks.

Karzai, whose relationship with the Obama administration has been strained by widespread allegations of corruption in his government, was not present for Saturday’s festivities. Later, Petraeus met with Karzai; corruption was one of the issues the two discussed, according to a statement issued by the presidential palace.

Gen. Petraeus greets members of the U.S. Marines brass band at the pre-Fourth of July celebrations in Kabul on Saturday. Petraeus, widely credited with turning around the U.S. war effort in Iraq, faces rising violence and growing doubts in Washington and other allied capitals about the effectiveness of the counterinsurgency strategy, which the general himself pioneered.

remarks in Kabul before he officially assumes his position today as the top American commander in Afghanistan, Petraeus said that “in this important endeavor, cooperation is not optional.”

“Civilian and military, Afghan and international, we are a part of one team, with one mission,” he told a gathering of hundreds of guests at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul as part of a Fourth of July ceremony.

The comments by Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry sought to set a tone of renewed partnership between military and civilian officials in Afghanistan.

During the past year, tensions in this relationship emerged as an obstacle to the American effort and culminated in the recent firing of Gen. Stanley McChrystal after he and his staff made disparaging comments about senior Obama administration officials, including Eikenberry, in a Rolling Stone magazine article.

On Saturday morning, Eikenberry lightened the mood by calling Petraeus, his former West Point schoolmate and fellow Army Ranger, a “great friend” and handed him his “very own United States embassy access badge.”

“Welcome aboard,” Eikenberry told Petraeus at the sunny outdoor ceremony at an embassy decorated with red, white and blue bunting and Independence Day banners. “You are welcome at this embassy, as we say, 24/7. We look forward to being your teammates and to our continued combined success.”

Petraeus replied, “I feel like one of the team now.”

In Rolling Stone, McChrystal was quoted as saying the American ambassador “covers his flank for the history books” — a refer-

Biden will meet separately today with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite Islamist, and secular politician Ayad Allawi, whose alliance won the most seats in the next Parliament. The two leaders’ blocs have begun talks on forming a government, but it remains unclear whether they can bridge the gaps between them.

Biden said he was optimistic and compared the negotiations to post-election bargaining in Western European countries.

“The country is in the position where, in one sense it looks ... most difficult putting the government together,” Biden said. “In another sense, this is local politics. This is not a lot different from any other government.”

Vice President Joe Biden, the White House point man on Iraq policy, on Saturday made a surprise visit here — his fifth since the 2008 election.

BAGHDAD — Vice President Joe Biden returned Saturday to Iraq to coax its government into picking a new prime minister, months after elections left the nascent democracy in a state of gridlock as the U.S. prepares to pull out its troops.

Biden’s trip — his fifth since he was elected vice president, and his second this year — signals Washington’s growing impatience with Iraq’s stalled political process since the March 7 vote. The Iraqi election failed to produce a clear winner, and competing political alliances have been angling to secure an edge in parliament — mostly through backroom deals that leave voters out of the process.

In the meantime, a sense of uncertainty pervades the country, and U.S. troops are

FALLUJAH, Iraq — After two devastating battles between U.S. forces and Sunni insurgents in 2004, this city needed almost everything — new roads, clean water, electricity and health care, among them. The American reconstruction authorities decided, however, that the first big rebuilding project to win hearts and minds would be a citywide sewage treatment system.

Now, after more than six years of work, $104 million spent, and without having connected a single house, American reconstruction officials have decided to leave the system unfinished, though they portray it as a success. It is just one element in a strategy to complete or abandon rebuilding projects before U.S. troops leave in large numbers over the next year.

The push to complete reconstruction work as quickly as possible has been met with scorn by Iraqi officials, who say some of the projects are being finished with such haste that engineering standards have deteriorated to the point where workers are in danger, and some of the work is at risk of collapse.

The Fallujah sewage system, in particular, mirrors the extensive problems that have marked much of the American rebuilding effort: a grand plan to provide a modern facility that diverged from Iraq’s actual needs, and was further troubled by millions of wasted dollars, poor planning, construction flaws, ongoing violence and little attention to sustainability.

Timber Continued from A1 The latest extension of timber payments also included a 10 percent decrease in funding each year and imposed tighter restrictions on how a portion of the money to be used for forest services, called Title III, could be distributed.

Previously, $54,000 of the forest money was used for a Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office community service work camp, $10,000 for a forestry education program and $15,000 for a High Desert Museum exhibit titled “The U.S. Forest Service in the High Desert: Century of Service, 1905-2005.”

Now, the Title III money must be used for search and rescue teams and programs to protect communities from wildfires.

Tom Towslee, a spokesman for U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, DOre., said Wyden’s office plans to send a letter to President Barack Obama reminding him of his previous support of timber payments and asking for his help in renewing them after 2012.

“Obviously, there’s some county payment fatigue in Congress so it might not happen this year, but it took two years to pass the first bill, and three to pass the reauthorization, so we will need to get started on this soon,” Towslee wrote in an e-mail. “We are already drafting a letter to President Obama.”

Towslee said Oregon has come to depend on timber payments, and while other states’ elected officials do not understand the importance of the payments, they are important to communities here.

“The way Sen. Wyden sees it, the federal government has a social contract with Oregon that they need to live up to,” he wrote.

“They’ve got an obligation to not just pull the rug out from under rural counties that are surrounded by federal forests and in the old days, counted on timber sales to pay for the essentials like their local government, the police, fire departments and schools.”

Timber payments: Measuring the impact in Central Oregon

Schools: When $900,000 translates into 13 teachers It’s been a tough couple of years for school budgets. Schools around Central Oregon have cut school days, dozens of teaching and support staff positions, funding for athletics and extracurricular activities, and textbook and technology purchases.

Losing timber payments in 2012 would be just one more blow.

Schools in the affected counties receive annual payments directly from the state. Timber payments don’t necessarily pay for one program or activity. Instead, districts put the extra money into their general funds.

For example, Bend-La Pine Schools receives about 2.6 percent of all school timber payments.

In 2008-09, that came out to about $900,000; of that, about $610,000 came in the form of a timber payment check, and the rest came through the state school fund. Each district receives a certain amount of money from the state school fund, calculated in part by how many students are in the district. The

remaining amount came from the state school fund for timber payments.

In a $120 million budget, the nearly $1 million from timber payments makes a big difference.

“If (the timber payments funding) goes away, and our share is $900,000, it’s a big deal,” said Deputy Superintendent John Rexford. “That’s something that wouldn’t be available for us in that pool of money.”

For Bend-La Pine Schools, $900,000 translates into two school days or 13 teachers. If the state does not supplement funding for schools that have depended on timber payments, school districts in Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties would have to make further cuts once the payments are eliminated.

“It’s really our continuing discussion over trying to deliver services based on what has now been a declining level of resources,” Rexford said. “It’s not really one thing to isolate, it’s the context of a larger discussion. We’re trying to do business and provide education.”

But with even less money than what’s currently being provided, that will be more difficult.

Kaitlin Brouhard and Brooke Gray measure weed distribution in the Crooked River Canyon south of Prineville on Monday. Timber payments currently make up approximately two-thirds of the program’s $40,000 budget.

Noxious weeds: In need of funding in Crook County

Through the weed management program, funded by timber dollars, Gray has created a map of the main problem weeds in the county. Landowners can look at the map to see what noxious weeds are invading their property. The extension office agents also help landowners manage their weeds.

“We’re making progress. We’re seeing results,” Gray said.

But without timber payments, and unless the agency could find alternative revenue, the weed management program wouldn’t exist. Right now, the timber payments make up approximately two-thirds of the program’s $40,000 budget.

A lot of the survey work, Gray said, is to mark what area of land needs to be treated and to have something to compare it to in the future.

Letting the weeds go, Gray said, would hurt landowners, devalue property, make it difficult for animals to graze and negatively impact wildlife.

PRINEVILLE — Point to a weed and Brooke Gray can tell you if it’s noxious or simply obnoxious.

The 27-year-old weed education and GIS technician with the Oregon State University Extension Office in Crook County is on a mission to free the county of noxious weeds.

One early morning, standing below a cliff of rimrock and next to the Crooked River, she spots a patch of Russian knapweed. The non-native weed is poisonous to horses, difficult to kill and crowds out — eventually killing — native plant life.

Kaitlin Brouhard, the 16-year-old summer intern, gives Gray the coordinates of the nasty weed.

“Forty-four degrees, 12 minutes, 6.09 seconds,” Brouhard says.

Gray marked the location, the elevation and the density of the weed.

For years, most people who worked for state or local governments accepted a fact of life: Their pay wasn’t great. The job security was.

Now that’s gone, too.

States and municipalities are facing sizable budget gaps. Many have responded by slashing services, raising taxes and, for the first time in decades, making deep job cuts.

And public employees should brace themselves: Some economists say the job cuts could worsen in the second half of the year.

Those government layoffs make it harder to reduce the national unemployment rate, now 9.5 percent.

The rate did fall slightly in June because more than half a million out-of-work Americans gave up their job searches. Once people stop seeking work, they’re no longer counted as unemployed.

The economy is already under pressure from weak consumer spending, sinking stock prices, a European debt crisis and a teetering real estate market.

“It’s certainly a drag on economic growth in our outlook,” Mark Vitner, an economist at Wells Fargo, said of the loss of public-sector jobs.

It’s also a burden for residents.

As state and municipal employees are cut, so are services. It takes longer to register a car, see a school nurse or travel to work by bus.

In California, state-run Department of Motor Vehicle offices have been closed on selected furlough Fridays to cut costs.

In New York City, a new budget will close up to 30 senior centers, shutter a 24-hour homeless center in Manhattan and eliminate nurses at schools with fewer than 300 students.

In Atlanta, the metro transit agency shut 40 bus lines and closed restrooms in June. Even so, 300 employees might lose their jobs to close a $69 million budget gap.

Julie Bussgang used to have assistants to help her keep order in her kindergarten classroom in Albany, Calif. Last year, those assistants were cut. Bussgang was left on her own.

“I’ve had kids calling for help from the bathroom, and I was alone with 24 kids,” she says. “We got through far less of the curricu-

Jobs cut: by the numbers State and local governments cut 95,000 jobs in the first half of the year, even as the economy slowly recovered. Private employers, by contrast, added 593,000 jobs in that time. It’s the first time the public sector has cut jobs while the private sector has added jobs since 1981, said Marisa Di Natale, a director at Moody’s Economy.com. In the second half of the year, 152,000 more local and state government employees will be laid off, estimates Nigel Gault, an economist at IHS Global Insight. Counting companies that work with state governments, a total of 900,000 jobs could be lost to states’ budget shortfalls, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a think tank in Washington.

lum than we did in the previous year. Everything took longer.”

From teachers and probation officers to recreation workers and transportation specialists, public employees who never imagined their jobs could be in jeopardy are discovering they are.

They are people like 24-yearold Brianna Clegg, who had never hesitated to take on school loans in

pursuit of her teaching certificate.

“I was always hearing, ‘There’s a huge need for teachers.’”

Yet as California’s budget crisis mounted last year, thousands of teaching jobs were slashed. One was Clegg’s job teaching fourth grade in Stockton, Calif.

When she sought another position, she made a grim discovery: In a state in which roughly 26,000

teachers have been laid off, openings existed for 39 teachers. Clegg wasn’t among the fortunate few.

Across the country, the trouble stems from shrinking state income and sales tax revenue, a consequence of the recession. Total state revenue dropped 11 percent from fiscal year 2008, when the recession began, to fiscal 2010, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers.

Compounding the problem, congressional Democrats have failed to come up with the votes to spend about $50 billion to help states pay for Medicaid programs and avoid teacher layoffs. Governors made a plea for the money to help them avoid layoffs. Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson said his state might have to lay off 3,600 teachers.

Senate Republicans have argued that the nation can’t afford further spending in light of record-high budget deficits.

Teens pull noxious weeds at Henderson Flat OHV trail system near Terrebonne on Wednesday as part of their community service through the Jefferson County juvenile work crew program.

Sheriff’s Sgt. Scott Shelton talks about the track modification that search and rescue uses on ATVs in soft-snow conditions.

The tracks were purchased with timber payment money.

A Bobcat loads piles of burnable land debris into a truck, which then transported the piles for chipping in Sisters. The work was part of Project Wildfire, which receives timber payments.

Community service: Working on a work ethic

Search and rescue: Soon to be left hanging?

Project Wildfire: Keeping the blazes out

MADRAS — For some members of Mike Beeler’s work crew, court-ordered community service is their first joblike experience.

On the Henderson Flat trail system in the Crooked River National Grasslands, a group of high school-age students worked silently to pull Medusa head, a noxious weed. Earlier, they sawed off dead branches from juniper trees and used the branches to block trails the U.S. Forest Service didn’t want people on.

The teenagers had been charged with crimes from burglary to assault. The work crew program, Beeler said, is an integral part of the juvenile system in Jefferson County.

It offers many crew members their first chance to develop a work ethic. They have to

show up on time and dress appropriately; some get job recommendations from the work crew.

But as the timber payments that supported the program in the past start to dwindle, the program’s stability seems to be in jeopardy.

Department officials have started looking for other revenue sources and are seeking contracts with other agencies that need work done. The program’s budget has already gone from about $40,000 to about $23,000.

“The work crew program is integral,” said Jefferson County Community Justice Director Jeff Lichtenburg. “It helps keep a balanced juvenile system. We want to make sure we’re not using detention too often and only with the most serious cases.

It allows us to keep detention costs down.”

One program that received timber payments throughout the life of the federal program is search and rescue, and the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has received amounts from $75,000 to $228,954 a year, according to a county document.

Timber payments are supposed to be used for missions on federal lands, said Capt. Marc Mills, commander of Deschutes County Search and Rescue.

The Sheriff’s Office has used the money to replace snowmobiles, purchase new track vehicles to use in soft snow and replace certain equipment.

Search and rescue’s need for the track vehicles became clear during the November 2006 search for snowmobilers Roger and Brian Rouse, Mills said.

The two men were found along Bridge Creek, two miles west of

the Tumalo Falls trailhead and approximately 10 miles west of Bend. The son, Brian, survived, but his father, Roger, did not.

During the search, 4 feet of powder snow engulfed snowmobiles. “From that mission, we identified we could get further into areas we needed to with track vehicles,” Mills said. The Sheriff’s Office purchased them the next year, with timber payment money.

Search and rescue also gets reimbursed for missions on federal land, and Mills estimated that more than 70 percent of missions take place on Forest Service land. Another 10 to 20 percent are on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

The Sheriff’s Office is budgeted to receive $150,000 in timber payments this budget year, so local residents will probably have to shoulder a similar amount when federal forest payments expire, Mills said.

Deschutes County’s program to prevent wildfires, called Project Wildfire, started in 1998. Five years ago, it began receiving timber payment money and has expanded steadily.

“Since 2004, we haven’t lost a home to wildland fire in the county,” said County Forester Joe Stutler. Oregon has eight Firewise Communities — areas built and maintained to national standards to minimize wildland fire risk — and they are all in Deschutes County, he added.

Stutler’s job is also a result of timber payments: The county used the federal funds to create the county forester job and hired Stutler in 2004.

Project Wildfire has treated hazardous vegetation known as “fuels” on 4,165 acres in Deschutes County in the past five years, but the impact of the

organization’s “sweat equity” programs, which assist property owners who clear fire hazards on their properties, has been much larger. The program estimates residents treated 59,641 acres in the same time period to reduce fire risk through these programs, according to a February 2010 memorandum.

But the initiative’s biggest impact has been raising “the public’s awareness of living with fire,” Stutler said.

Deschutes County currently spends about $80,000 a year of timber payment money on Project Wildfire, Stutler said. He remains “cautiously optimistic” that federal lawmakers will renew timber payments in some form.

He has just begun working on alternative strategies in case the money stops, and believes he will be able to find other sources of funding to pay for at least part of Project Wildfire’s work.

Spirit intact, a soldier works to reclaim his life

By Lizette Alvarez New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Brendan Marrocco and his brother, Michael, were constructing a summer bucket list, to get them out and about, trying new things.

A Washington Nationals game versus their beloved Yankees — sure, since they were stuck here rather than home on Staten Island. Perhaps a ride on the Metro, with its reliable elevators. Pizza: definitely.

How about going to an amusement park? Michael Marrocco suggested optimistically.

“Would that really be safe?” asked Brendan Marrocco, a smirk crossing his lips.

Each would be a major accomplishment for Brendan Marrocco, who a year before had come so close to death that doctors still marvel over how he dodged it. At 22, he was a spry, charming infantryman in the U.S. Army with a slicing wit and a stubborn streak.

Then, on Easter Sunday 2009, a roadside bomb exploded under his vehicle, and he became the first veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to lose all four limbs in combat and survive.

In the nearly 15 months since, Specialist Brendan Marrocco has pushed past pain and exhaustion to learn to use his four prosthetics, though he can walk for only 15 minutes at a time. He has met sports stars like Jorge Posada and Tiger Woods — and become something of a star himself here at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where his moxie and humor are an inspiration to hundreds of other wounded service members.

He has also met, fallen in love with and proposed marriage to a young woman who sees what is there rather than what is missing, though Marrocco has lately been questioning the relationship.

Now he is preparing for a rare and risky double arm transplant at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center that could profoundly improve his independence.

‘I hit a pressure wire’ Not quite six months into his combat tour, Private First Class Marrocco sat behind the wheel of an armored vehicle as it made its way back to Forward Operating Base Summerall in Baiji, a town in northern Iraq. His was the last truck in a four-vehicle convoy on a routine mission escorting a group of soldiers from one base to another. A machine gunner, Marrocco had become a driver a few days before.

College did not stick, so he enlisted in the Army. When he got to Fort Benning, Ga., in January 2008 for basic training, he felt grounded for the first time in his life. Here was a career he could love.

All he can recall of that Easter Sunday drive back to his base is the flash of light against the black of the early morning. “I hit a pressure wire,” he said. “It was across the road.”

The bomb, a particularly lethal one known as an explosively formed penetrator, shredded his armored vehicle. His best Army buddy, Spc. Michael J. Anaya, was killed. Another soldier was wounded; the fourth man in the truck walked away unharmed.

Brendan Marrocco, a 23-year-old Iraq war veteran from Staten Island, N.Y., puts on his right prosthetic arm, using the one on his left, in May at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington. Marrocco lost his arms and legs to a bomb in Iraq. Now, 15 months later, he is walking again and has become an inspiration to hundreds of fellow veterans.

Marrocco’s left arm is a rubber myoelectric model, complete with a hand, that responds to muscle impulses.

Marrocco was standing within two months and walking shortly after that, but walking long stretches remains a struggle.

Camp Speicher, got the call before dawn. Incoming wounded.

Marrocco was rushed in. Within eight minutes, his clothes were off and he was connected to a giant bag of intravenous fluid. Both arms and a leg had been sheared off. The other leg, the left, “was hanging literally by a thread,” Aydelotte recalled.

Doctors quickly began pumping blood into Marrocco’s body, but it sprayed straight onto the ceiling and walls. Aghast, Aydelotte looked more closely. One of the two carotid arteries was severed, an injury so lethal it can kill within minutes.

The medical team cleaned out each amputation wound, took a vein from his groin to reconstruct the carotid, and sewed him up top to bottom. The same day, he was transferred 85 miles to a larger base in Balad, and then on to Germany.

left residual leg looked particularly bloody. The nurse on duty said a doctor would come by soon to take a look. Michelle Marrocco demanded one immediately. Then her son’s blood pressure began to drop precipitously.

“If I hadn’t been there,” she said, “I feel I would have lost him.”

In those early weeks, the worst of the pain often seized Brendan Marrocco in the middle of the night. On good nights, he slept 20 minutes and then wrestled with pain for three or four hours.

After Marrocco’s brain passed a battery of tests, his family then fretted about his mental health.

Could he avoid the powerful punch of depression and posttraumatic stress, a one-two so harrowing it can cripple a soldier as easily as a bullet? Not long after Marrocco regained consciousness, Sgt. Justin Minisall, who had been wounded in the bombing, ducked in for a visit.

Marrocco asked how Anaya, the gunner in the truck that day, was doing.

“The sergeant looked at me with wide eyes, and I looked at him,” the private’s father said. “The ser-

‘Glad to be alive’ Sitting by her son’s bedside the next week, shortly after he emerged from an operation, Michelle Marrocco noticed that his

W B Russian mayor irks spy agency, suffers LISTVYANKA, Russia — On the edge of this Siberian village is a resort with a veiled guest list and armed guards at the front gate. When local officials have expressed unease about what goes on inside, the reply has always been the same: Do not interfere.

Two and half years ago, the village’s mayor, Tatyana Kazakova, had enough. A major construction project at the resort had exposed a hot water main, threatening the heating supply for the entire village as temperatures plunged to 30 degrees below zero.

She filed a lawsuit against the resort, and asked the regional prosecutor to open a criminal inquiry.

A criminal inquiry was indeed opened — against Kazakova.

The resort belongs to the FSB, the successor to the Soviet-era KGB, and the FSB arrested her and had her prosecuted.

She is now on trial in a case that has already become a disquieting example of the power of the security agency in today’s Russia.

geant told him, ‘He didn’t survive.’

Brendan just laid there and, kind of like everything else, took it in and didn’t really say much.”

A week or two later, Brendan told his father, “I am really sorry that Mike died, but I am glad to be alive.”

As the weeks passed, the Marroccos were forced to look further down the road. The parents each considered quitting work, but each had a mortgage to pay. And the son, while grateful for his divorced parents’ dedication, was afraid they might suffocate him.

He was a grown man. He had fought in a war.

Then his brother did something nobody expected: He volunteered to leave his friends, his social life and his job in information technology at Citigroup, and move to Washington.

Since May 2009, the brothers have lived on the Walter Reed campus in connecting dormitorystyle rooms, with a kitchen and maid service. The Army does not charge Michael rent, and it gives him $64 a day for living expenses.

The military also underwrites all of Brendan’s expenses, including the hand transplants, and pays him a $2,400 monthly salary.

Marrocco mastered standing in his prostheses within two months, and walking a few steps shortly after that. But walking long stretches is infinitely more difficult, a bit like balancing on stilts, only without the benefit of knees or real arms for balance.

He does not blame the military or curse the war. If he had his way, he said, he would be back in Iraq, behind a machine gun. “I have no idea why I’m so happy,” he said.

But Marrocco does admit to “down days,” and acknowledged, “This does suck.”

“You know, Mama,” Michelle Marrocco recalled him saying quietly one day, “it would have been really nice if they left me even one hand.”

U.S. nixes N. Korea in ’09 cyberattacks U.S. officials have largely ruled out North Korea as the origin of a computer attack last July that took down U.S. and South Korean government websites, according to cybersecurity experts.

But authorities are not much closer than they were a year ago to knowing exactly who did it — and why.

In the days after the fastmoving, widespread attack, analysis pointed to North Korea as the likely starting point because code used in the attack included Korean language and other indicators. Experts now say there is no conclusive evidence that North Korea, or any other na-

‘A normal life’ The donor has to be a man.

The blood and tissue types have to match, of course. But so do the skin tone and size. The call could come at any time, and the Marrocco brothers will jump into Michael’s black Monte Carlo and high-tail it 237 miles to the University of Pittsburgh to prepare for surgery. They have 10 hours to get there to give the doctors enough time to do their work.

Dr. W.P. Andrew Lee, the hospital’s chief of plastic surgery, will lead four teams of more than 20 surgeons to give Marrocco, as he put it, the chance to live “a normal life” (a fifth team will handle the donor). His legs would still be missing. But new human arms would mean he could put on the prosthetics himself.

The transplant is mind-boggling in its complexity. The doctors must attach nerves, blood vessels, muscles, tendons and elbow joints, all within about 11 hours. A new anti-rejection protocol that Lee formulated should reduce the risk of infection, organ damage and diabetes.

He expects to spend six months rehabilitating in Pittsburgh (his brother will move there with him).

The time there may set back his leg progress, so he will likely return to Walter Reed for further therapy.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Children often ask the question “Who am I?” as they come of age, but that’s nothing like the identity crisis now confronting the sons and daughters of four couples accused of spying for Russia.

Over a turbulent week, at least some, and maybe all, have discovered that mom and dad are not who they said they were. The children’s citizenship, family history and even their very names have been called into question.

At least two children involved in the case, ages 1 and 3, will soon be headed for Russia.

Of the 11 people charged this week with being members of a Russian spy ring, eight were parents. Collectively, they are believed to have eight children, although, like much else associ-

ated with this strange post-Cold War spying case, the true facts are hazy.

Some of the older children are likely already wrestling with questions about their identities.

Juan Lazaro Jr., a gifted 17year-old pianist at New York’s LaGuardia High School of the performing arts, was named after his father. But the FBI said this week that dad’s name was fake, as was his claim to have been raised in South America.

Tim Foley, a 20-year-old student at George Washington University, wrote on a blog that he was born in Toronto and grew up in Paris and Boston. Now his true birth country has been called into question.

Two girls growing up in suburban Montclair, N.J., ages 7 and 11, were given the last name Murphy, but prosecutors said that was a lie, too.

The future of those children, at least the youngest ones, is now in question.

Who will take care of them if their parents remain in prison?

Do they have extended families in Russia they have never met? Are they all American citizens?

U.S. immigration officials have declined to comment on the children’s’ status, citing privacy rules, but note that any person born in the United States is a citizen by right, except in certain cases involving the children of diplomats or other foreign government workers.

At least two of the children, the toddler and preschooler whose parents posed as American Michael Zottoli and Canadian Patricia Mills, will be going to Russia.

Federal prosecutors said Friday the couple acknowledged they are Russian citizens.

Pakistan opposition backs Taliban talks ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s government should negotiate with the country’s Taliban militants to ease the relentless security crisis in the nuclear-armed, U.S.-allied nation, the top opposition leader said.

Nawaz Sharif made the comments Saturday two days after a pair of suicide bombers killed 42 people at a famed Sufi shrine in the province controlled by his party, the Pakistan Muslim League-N. The party is considered more religiously conservative and aligned with pro-Taliban parties than the Pakistan People’s Party, which runs the federal government.

‘Potter’ actress’s family charged over threats LONDON — The father and brother of an actress who starred in the Harry Potter movies have been charged with threatening to kill her.

Her father, 54-year-old Abdul Azad and elder brother, 28-yearold Ashraf, are alleged to have threatened her at her home in the northern English city of Manchester on May 21.

TOURING 3 PATRIOTIC SITES

A modern-day battle over Gettysburg: a casino plan

By John Leland New York Times News Service

GETTYSBURG, Pa. — This weekend for the 23rd consecutive year, Union re-enactors will defeat their Confederate counterparts here, commemorating the Civil War’s bloodiest battle and Americans’ continuing fascination with military dress and retro facial hair.

At the end of three days of fighting, on July 3, 1863, nearly 8,000 soldiers were dead, and Gen. Robert E. Lee ended his invasion of the North.

But the new battle of Gettysburg, fought with lawyers and news releases rather than muskets, is being waged over a proposal to open a casino near the battlefield.

On Wednesday, 277 historians, including the Pulitzer Prize winners James McPherson and Garry Wills, sent a letter to the state gambling board opposing the application by Mason-Dixon Resort

& Casino to bring 600 slot machines and 50 table games to an existing hotel a half-mile from the battlefield’s southern edge. Five years ago, the board rejected the company’s more ambitious plan to build a larger casino. But like many Civil War battles, this one appears unlikely to die.

“In my gut, I feel Gettysburg and casino are two words that don’t belong together,” said Mindy Crawford, executive director of Preservation Pennsylvania, a nonprofit group. But she said that many local residents favored the casino because they think it will bring jobs to the area, where unemployment rose to 8.5 percent in May. “If you build a casino, they will come,” said David La Torre, a spokesman for the developer, who said the casino would create 350 jobs and would not be visible from the 6,000-acre national park.

“We’re being targeted by a small group of opponents who

are making it a national issue to intimidate the gaming board,” La Torre said. “It’s very easy nationally for people to sweep in and say it’s a bad idea. But it’s five miles from the center of the battlefield.”

Among visitors to the historic site two weeks ago, opinion ran decisively against the casino.

Across the street from a store window showing Civil War statuettes and novelty underwear, Tim Daniel, 44, called Gettysburg “the most hallowed ground in America” and said a casino would dishonor the site. Daniel, of San Diego, has come to Gettysburg for 12 consecutive summers.

This year, his son, Brodee, 8, was cast in the re-enactment to carry the flag for the Confederate Gen. George E. Pickett, whose disastrous charge on the battle’s third day left thousands dead.

“General Pickett asked him,” Daniel said with pride. “He’s turned down sports to do this.”

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, July 4, 2010 A7

Independent Continued from A1 Conger freely acknowledges his campaign’s goal is to reach out to Bowden and the rest of the district’s more than 1,800 Independent Party voters. In fact, he hopes to personally call each one of the registered Independent voters before their primary’s votes are counted, on July 31.

“I’m going to try,” he said, but added, “it’s a big number, and the timeline is difficult.”

Stiegler says she and her campaign workers are intent on reaching the same group of voters this month as well.

“How we’re going to do that, we haven’t firmly decided yet, but we will be reaching out to their voters absolutely,” she said.

A “fusion voting” law passed by the Legislature last year is generating new attention to the 4-year-old Independent Party.

Intended to boost the profile of smaller parties, the law allows candidates to list on the ballot as many as three party nominations.

A growing party Founded as a protest party, the Independent Party has grown faster than any other in Oregon, to about 55,000 members statewide. That’s compared with more than 860,000 registered Democrats, more than 650,000 Republicans and more than 400,000 unaffiliated voters.

But with popularity has come controversy. Earlier this year, the Oregon Attorney General’s Office conducted an investigation into an allegation that the Independent Party had linked its endorsement to monetary support.

The accusation was rejected as unsubstantiated, but a taperecorded telephone conversation considered by the investigation showed why the party’s nomination is so sought after.

In the conversation, Democratic party official Ben Unger told Independent Party official Sal Peralta that in a contested Corvallis-area state Senate district, the Independent nomina-

tion could be worth two or three percentage points.

In the wake of the Department of Justice investigation, the Independent Party decided to hold an Internet-only primary in which each Independent Party voter can cast his or her vote online, using a unique password mailed to home addresses.

Linda Williams, a co-founder of the party, said “we thought, well, we’ll give folks a reason to know there’s (an Independent) party — and it would behoove candidates to at least contact our members.”

Turning out the vote in Bend The strategy is working in Bend.

Asked about House District 54, Williams’ fellow Independent Party official, Peralta, said, “My understanding is Judy Stiegler and Jason Conger are phone banking and planning to do other kinds of communication with our members to try and turn out the vote.”

Bowden, for his part, said Stiegler stopped by his house a few weeks ago. “She is working hard,” he said, and he was impressed she stopped by personally. But “I need to do more research” before committing, he said.

Bowden actually has been unaffiliated for years, though he temporarily switched to Democrat to vote for Barack Obama in the 2008 primary.

His decision to join the Independent Party in January was because “I just got so fed up with the whole mess going on in Washington and at the state level as well,” he said.

He said he votes in every election and has voted for Republicans, Democrats, Greens and Libertarians. He believes in government that is both fiscally prudent and cares for society’s most needy. And he thinks people like him are “the silent majority.”

“I have chosen to be (an) Independent because I really feel that both parties are not working in the benefit of the country,” he said. “The reason I’ve chosen the Independent Party

is I want a politician who goes out there and makes hard choices, and I don’t know if in our system anyone can go out there and get elected (while) really telling it like it is.”

Both Stiegler and Conger stressed they are not only reaching out to Independent Party voters; they are reaching out to voters of all stripes.

“When I’m out knocking and talking, I do not discriminate,” Stiegler said. She said that when she does come to Independent Party voters’ homes, she stresses that she scored a 100 percent score on the party’s Legislative scorecard, which focused on good-government bills.

Michele Rossolo, head of the campaign arm of the state House Democrats, similarly said “nothing here changes our game plan; Judy has always talked to independent voters and unaffiliated voters, so we’re just going to stick with that.”

Similarly, Conger said, “For me it’s more about continuing what we’ve already been doing. We have strong support locally, and I’m going to work hard; the campaign is working hard, and our volunteers are working hard.”

Nick Smith, with the campaign arm of the House Republicans, said, “we believe that Jason has a strong message to people who are not members of the major parties, and we believe that to secure this (Independent Party) nomination is just one strategy to reach out to these very important voters.”

As for how big an impact the smaller party’s nomination will have, Smith says he doesn’t know.

The new fusion-voting law adds “a new dynamic to our electoral process,” he said. “This will be the first election cycle where we see how it works. And what happens this year is going to write the textbook for future elections.”

Liberty Bell

“The bell hasn’t finished cracking.”

Continued from A1 To Eric Gantwerk, 41, visiting the other day from South Carolina, too much attention is paid to the gash and not enough to the bell’s history.

“The crack is like the hot fudge on a sundae,” Gantwerk said.

“Everyone really wants the hot fudge, but if you’re not eating the ice cream, you’re missing out.”

Wittiker Schlauch, 11, visiting from Houston, did not feel he was missing out. “I think the crack is cool,” he said, thinking ahead to where it may lead.

“They may have to reforge that part of the bell if the crack gets too serious,” Wittiker added, “or the bell might break apart.”

Which raises the question: If

— Karie Diethorn, chief curator for Independence National Historical Park the bell were reforged, would it still be the Liberty Bell? And since it has already been recast twice, both times to try to improve the sound, is this the real thing?

Yes, says Karie Diethorn, chief curator for Independence National Historical Park, which oversees 3 million artifacts, only one of which is the iconic bell.

In each recasting, the same metal was used, Diethorn said, which contributed to the “metal fatigue” that caused the crack in the first place. She likened the process to rolling out dough for a pie.

Bunker Hill’s unsung heroine

By Abby Goodnough New York Times News Service

BOSTON — Richard Tourangeau, a veteran ranger at the Bunker Hill Monument, dutifully answers a daily torrent of questions about the famous battle that unfolded there. But he would much rather talk about Sarah Josepha Hale.

Hale was a 19th-century magazine editor who wrote “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” lobbied to make Thanksgiving a national holiday and made sure the 221-foot obelisk that commemorates the Battle of Bunker Hill got built. She is something of an obsession for Tourangeau, a blunt 63-year-old who sent red roses to Hale’s grave on her birthday last year.

“It’s mind-boggling what this woman was able to do,” Tourangeau said recently from his post beside the monument, whose spiral staircase leads 294 steps up to a heady view of Boston and its harbor, though it will close this summer for repairs.

Tourangeau is not one for climbing those stairs; when he is not relaying highlights of the 1775 battle — how the British won, for example, and that bit about the whites of their eyes — he seeks to shine a light on Hale.

The partly built monument was languishing, and the men behind it were out of cash, when Hale stepped in. It was 1840, and her magazine, Godey’s Lady’s Book, was a national sensation.

Hale, whom Tourangeau calls “Oprah and Martha Stewart combined,” organized a giant craft fair at Quincy Market, exhorting readers to donate to help get the obelisk built. They did, and the fair raised over $30,000, more than enough to get the project moving again and finished by 1843.

Tourangeau bristles at the oftrepeated tale — “So ridiculous,” he said — that the $30,000 came from a bake sale. Refreshments were sold, he said, but they brought only a fraction of the profit.

“I had to convince some of the bus tour guides to stop talking that up,” he said. “It’s kind of a put-down, really. Like, ‘Oh, women can only bake.’”

Like Fenway Park and Faneuil Hall, Bunker Hill is a must-see for Boston tourists. They came in droves the other day: children in tricorn hats, a high school group from Oregon and a tour group on Segways, to name a few. But Tourangeau, who has worked for the National Park Service here for 26 years, is selective in mentioning Hale.

“You’ve got to know who you’re talking to,” he said, conceding that his passion glazes the eyes of battle fanatics. Get him started, though — mentioning the bake sale is a sure way — and you might find yourself rapt.

“Sarah was an amazing person from any perspective,” Tourangeau said. “She’s got to get her due.”

dough, you weaken the elasticity,” she said. Two laser scans of the bell in the last six years have revealed that the recasting has taken a toll.

No one knows exactly when this third casting cracked. But in 1846, it was “fixed” by removing metal from both sides of the crack, creating a 1-inch-wide, 23-inch-long gap that is now perceived as the crack but is actually the repair. The real concern is a hairline fracture above it.

Diethorn offered this ominous bit of news: “The bell hasn’t finished cracking.”

Still, the National Park Service turns down those who periodically offer to patch it up.

“We say, Gee, thanks, but no thanks,’” Diethorn said. “The crack is essential to the bell’s identity, a representation of the flawed yet strong nation.”

early Saturday.

At around 3:30 a.m., a Dodge Neon driven by Laurie Elizabeth Hobson, 48, struck a northbound Oldsmobile Bravada driven by 28-year-old Aaron Walker near

Milepost 149, approximately six miles south of Bend.

Hobson, described by Oregon State Police as a resident of both Portland and Sunriver, was declared dead at the scene. Walker, a La Pine resident, suffered minor injuries in the crash and was taken by ambulance to St. Charles Bend.

Washington Week WASHINGTON — Lawmakers tried — and failed — to move through a bushel of pending bills last week, before they left town for their July Fourth vacation. Instead, the U.S. Senate’s inability to find bipartisan support for matters like extending unemployment benefits, funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and regulating financial companies means lawmakers will have even more on the table when they return to work in two weeks.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., had been scheduled to spend six days over the Fourth of July weekend exploring economic opportunities in Vietnam and Japan with a trio of Democratic senators. But he canceled the trip only a few hours after it was announced on Wednesday, without explanation. On Thursday, Merkley said he hadn’t had enough time to prep for the trip amid the busy final days of the Senate session.

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

U.S. Senate • EXTENDING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Failed 58-38 on Wednesday, where 60 votes were needed to proceed.

The $34 billion bill would have extended unemployment benefits to 1.3 million people whose benefits expired in June. The bill uses deficit spending to pay for the extended benefits.

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

• CONFIRMING GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS TO LEAD U.S. FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN Passed 99-0 on Wednesday.

Petraeus takes over for Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who was removed after making disparaging remarks about White House officials. Petraeus led the U.S. troop surge in Iraq and served as commander of U.S. Central Command, which includes U.S. military operations in the Middle East, before being picked for the Afghanistan post.

Saturday’s dog show events were for the quick and agile

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

As Joan Hagar and her dog Rocky made their way past the final obstacles on the jumper’s course at the Mt. Bachelor Kennel Club agility trials at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center on Saturday, her grin grew slightly wider with every hurdle the dog cleared.

At the finish line, the audience cheered, Rocky leapt up on Hagar and an event official emerged from the crowd to

award them a ribbon the size of a dinner plate.

Rocky had finally earned his MACH. The MACH, or Master Agility Champion, is a significant accomplishment for an agility trials dog, said Hagar, 49, from Corvallis.

To earn the MACH, a dog must make qualifying, errorfree runs through two different kinds of obstacle courses on a single day — 20 times over.

• TIGHTENING REGULATION OF BANKS AND OTHER FINANCIAL COMPANIES Passed 237-192 on Thursday.

In response to the 2008 Wall Street meltdown, the bill creates a host of new rules for banks and the financial industry, including new regulators to oversee the health of the financial system and to look out for consumers in transactions like mortgages and other loans. Many bankers complained that the new regulations would increase costs, especially for small banks, while Republicans said the bill put too many restrictions on Wall Street, without guaranteeing an end to federal bailouts. The bill was originally funded by taxing large banks, but to address Republican objections, the funding now largely comes from money left over in the Troubled Asset Relief Program. A vote in the U.S. Senate is expected later this month.

• EXTENDING UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS Passed 270-153 on Thursday.

The bill would restore unemployment benefits to about 1.3 million people whose benefits ran out at the start of last month, giving the unemployed a total of 99 weeks of benefits. The Senate version of the bill stalled last week.

State police to move Bend office, crime lab

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

Some services in the Oregon State Police Bend Area Command office and crime lab will be unavailable this week as the office moves into Deschutes County’s new 911 dispatch center building in northwest Bend.

Lt. Carl Rhodes said troopers will still be patrolling the highways in Central Oregon, but regular office business and crime lab work will be on hold from Wednesday to July 11.

About 50 sworn law enforcement officers, including patrol and fish and wildlife troopers, criminal and tribal gaming detectives, and the deputy state fire marshal, work out of Bend’s command office, along

with about 15 support staff, evidence and automotive technicians and others.

Since the mid-’80s, the Oregon State Police have rented an 11,800-square-foot office space from Deschutes County in a building on Jamison Road.

Over the years, as the Bend office has been able to add more troopers and provide 24-hour coverage on Central Oregon highways, and local population growth has created more of a demand for the crime lab, Rhodes said the space has become too small.

“For the lab and forensics divisions, this will increase efficiency, allow us to put in updated systems,” he said.

Oregon launches a critter watch on incoming boats

By Mark Freeman Medford Mail Tribune

ASHLAND — Dirk Patterson drops to his knees for a detailed once-over of Sam Walker’s waterskiing boat and trailer in search of a little hitchhiker considered the bane of Western waterways.

Patterson is looking for nonnative aquatic critters such as quagga and zebra mussels, which have wreaked financial and environmental havoc in places such as California’s Lake Mead since quaggas infested its waters less than two years ago.

Walker had spent a week on Lake Shasta with his boat, and Patterson’s voluntary inspection at Interstate 5’s Port of Entry shows his boat, like others similarly inspected this past month, is coming home critter-free.

“For the most part, people seem to keep their boats fairly clean,” Patterson says.

If not, Patterson has a highpressure blast of 140-degree water to scrub away any nonnative aquatic marauder that might be trying to invade Oregon waterways via a boat hull or trailer axle.

Patterson heads a boat inspection team in Southern Oregon that is the first line of defense against the unintended importation of aquatic invaders whose accidental introduction has damaged ecosystems such as the Great Lakes and cost millions of dollars to combat.

Patterson and partner Sam

Dodenhoff comprise one of five teams scattered across Oregon that patrol boat ramps and highways to ensure boats are clean of invasive species before they launch in Oregon waterways.

Created last year by the Oregon Legislature and funded by a new $5 permit on all boats more than 10 feet long, the program and inspections were created in tandem with Oregon’s so-called “Clean Launch Law,” which now makes it illegal to launch any boat with any aquatic species clinging to the exterior.

The law includes native weeds as well as nonnative species. Violations could lead to tickets totaling $287.

The inspections take a few minutes, and clean trailers are marked.

“I think it’s a good idea,” said Walker, of Clackamas. “It’s just like fruit inspections for bugs. We don’t want to carry anything.

“Besides, we’re on the Willamette (River),” Walker said. “We could be transferring a lot of stuff.”

So far, Oregon’s teams have yet to find any of the dangerous invaders. But similar inspections earlier this year in Idaho turned up both zebra and quagga mussels — two of the most notorious hitchhikers on Oregon’s hit list.

“The chance of Oregon inspections being consistent with Idaho is likely,” said Lisa DeBruyckere, coordinator of the Oregon Invasive Species Council.

Oregon lawyer guilty of groping opposing counsel The Associated Press PORTLAND — A lawyer accused of groping his opposing counsel at a downtown Portland office party has pleaded guilty to a harassment charge.

The lawyer, 42-year-old Jack Levy, was sentenced Friday to probation and ordered to write an apology. He also faces a state bar investigation.

In March, the victim was the attorney for property owners in a $4.3 million suit against a developer Levy represented.

She alleged that at the law-office party Levy made crude remarks and twice groped her.

The victim says she believes Levy intended to rattle her in the lawsuit, something Levy’s lawyer disputed.

D ouglas County seeks answers to growing homelessness in survey

By Inka Bajandas The (Roseburg) News-Review

ROSEBURG — When Peggy’s daughter sent her a dozen longstemmed roses for Mother’s Day, the flowers were returned.

A couple of days earlier, Peggy, her longtime companion and their beagle had been forced to leave their Glide home and were living out of their van. The couple had found places to stay in exchange for yard work, but those arrangements hadn’t worked out.

Now Peggy, who declined to give her last name, spends a good part of her days at United Community Action Network’s main office in Roseburg. She’s able to shower and do laundry there. At night, she and her partner are allowed to park in the lot of a Roseburg church. He sleeps in the back of the van, and Peggy rests across the front seats.

Growing population

were asked what had caused them to become homeless. Statewide, more than a third attributed homelessness to unemployment.

In Douglas County, unemployment was the second-highest cause of homelessness, following an inability to afford rent. Drug and alcohol abuse was the thirdhighest cause of homelessness.

The business owner, Jim Ryan, was also hit hard, the company’s lawyer said.

“This has affected him physically, mentally and emotionally that someone he trusted so much deceived him so much,” said Salem attorney Michael Mills during the sentencing of the employee. She got nine years.

A bookkeeper now serving a four-year sentence took $200,000 from the accounts of Heirloom Roses in St. Paul in 2008 and 2009, leading to staff reductions and such cutbacks as limiting expenses for staff snacks, as well as to revamped bookkeeping procedures.

“We kind of call it ‘the event’ and try not to think about it,” said owner Louise Clements.

SALEM — A veteran prosecutor says he suspects a sour economy is part of the reason that embezzlements have surged in Marion County.

Embezzlement cases in the county that includes the state capital, Salem, averaged in the single digits until 2009, when there were 22, said Deputy District Attorney Don Abar.

So far in 2010, he said, the caseload is unusually large, amounting to a usual full year’s work.

Statewide, embezzlement arrests remained steady through the pre-recession era between 2005 and 2008, according to the recent FBI data.

In Marion County, Abar estimates the take in the 2009 cases

Fieldman said the two top causes are related. Not having a job certainly contributes to being unable to afford rent, he said.

Affordability is certainly an issue as well, Fieldman said, and that is one reason why UCAN is committed to providing affordable housing complexes throughout the county. The agency also has been able to help those recovering from addiction by providing transitional housing, he said.

UCAN’s Second Chance Runners program teaches people who have been evicted how to be better renters, Fieldman said. This has also helped keep more people housed, he said.

Peggy said she’s thankful for UCAN’s help.

“Nobody ever puts me down here,” she said.

She looks forward to the day when she’ll no longer have to sleep in a van.

“I’d die for a real bed,” she said.

Results from the homeless count will help UCAN and partnering agencies further shape ways to combat homelessness in Douglas County, Fieldman said.

In particular, the homeless count will aid in a 10-year plan created by the Douglas County Housing & Homeless Coalition, of which

Salem area embezzlements swell in a difficult economy at $1.5 million to $2 million.

“In the 25 years I have been a prosecutor, I would have to say 2009 was the most overall money taken in embezzlements that I can recall,” he told the Statesman Journal newspaper.

Living above one’s means is a common reason people turn to embezzling, as are gambling and drug addictions, he said.

Two of the county’s notable cases involved large sums, including one where the theft stretched back a decade.

Superior Tire Services, based in Salem, got hit hard when an audit in Washington state led to the discovery that a financial manager had made double entries in an accounting ledger to conceal about $742,000 deposited in her own bank accounts.

extended periods through the Great Recession as the state suffered from double-digit unemployment rates among the highest in the nation, and many have continued to draw benefits during a post-recession economy that has generated few new jobs.

The extension ending in the coming week was approved by the Legislature in February using $19 million in unemployment funds.

Benefit extensions the federal government granted during the worst of the slump also are ending.

A person losing a job and going on unemployment today would be eligible for 26 weeks of regular state benefits, plus 20 weeks of extended benefits, said Employment Department spokesman Craig Spivey.

The state’s unemployment insurance fund itself is stable because employer taxes have risen automatically to keep it solvent.

UCAN is a member.

“I think the good data that we’re getting from the homeless count is really timely and presents some good guidance for the 10-year plan to end homelessness,” Fieldman said.

“I think our community has done a real good job in responding to homelessness, but I think there’s more to do.”

JULY 8

The two of them are part of a growing homeless population in Douglas County and Oregon.

Homelessness is on the rise in both the county and the state, according to the results of an annual statewide count conducted in January. Results of the count were recently released by Oregon Housing and Community Services. The agency uses the data to bring state funding to programs that help the homeless in the areas needing it most.

Partnering agencies in all 36 Oregon counties helped tabulate results. UCAN handled the Douglas County count.

The survey showed 19,207 people were homeless in Oregon in January, up from 17,122 the previ-

ous year, according to an Oregon Housing and Community Services news release. In Douglas County, the homeless population increased from 818 people in 2009 to 989 this year. The county’s 2008 results tallied 501 homeless people.

“Part of it is that we’ve gotten better at doing the counting, but most of it’s real,” UCAN Executive Director Mike Fieldman said of the population increase. “It’s an eye-opener to the extent of the problem.”

Libby Shoopman, lead case manager at UCAN, said the number doesn’t reflect those who didn’t show up to be counted.

“That’s not all,” she said. “Keep in mind that our count has to happen in January ... and in January, who wants to go out?”

In January, UCAN set up 12 sites throughout Douglas County where the homeless could eat a warm meal and get supplies such as toiletries, sleeping bags, tarps and pet food. As they came in the door at the various sites that day, each person was asked a series of questions used to compile the homeless count data.

Fieldman said this year’s numbers confirmed what UCAN had been seeing on the ground. There are a lot more homeless families with children in Douglas County than many realize, he said. This year’s count tallied 542 families with children in Douglas County.

The 335 homeless Douglas County children were among 5,866 homeless young Oregonians. According to Oregon Housing and Community Services, the results of the count mean that children now account for 31 percent of the state’s homeless population.

People counted in the survey

EUGENE — Oregonians by the thousands are using up the last of their unemployment benefits, many after as long as two years.

So far this year, more than 14,000 Oregonians have run out of jobless benefits, the state Employment Department reported Friday. That includes about 3,000 people drawing benefits from a temporary state extension that ends the week of July 4.

By November, the department said, more than 64,000 additional Oregonians face exhausting their benefits.

Congress has debated whether to extend benefits again, with debate focusing on whether the nation should add to its mounting debt.

The Register-Guard reported that local bankers and retailers have been warning of the day when large numbers of Oregonians would exhaust their benefits. That means there will be no more cushion for many laid-off workers to continue buying essentials and feeding the economy while they look for a job.

Many Oregonians have been on jobless benefits for

Buttons the clown graces Bend Water Pageant in 1960 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending July 3, 1910

Nick Cote / The (Eugene) Register-Guard

Hospitalist Paul Bouressa checks up on Daniel “Max” Delsied, 3, last month at Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Eugene. Every day there are 17 hospitalists on duty at RiverBend.

In Eugene and across U.S., ‘hospitalists’ take charge of patient care

their release orders.

But with a hospitalist always on duty, none of that happens.

Desiree Delsied, mother of 3year-old Max, pronounced herself happy with the attention her little boy received during a recent overnight hospitalization with asthma.

EUGENE — In the olden days of medicine, which in this case means pre-1996, nobody had ever heard of a “hospitalist.”

Today, the practice of hospital medicine doctors supervising the care of other physicians’ patients during their hospital stays is the fastest-growing specialty in the Caring for kids profession.

BIG FOURTH OVER By the morning of the Fourth, the clouds and showers of Sunday had cleared away, and the crowds that had poured into the town from all directions had the brightest of days in which to enjoy themselves.

At about 10 o’clock, the fun started with an informal band concert on Wall street, after which, headed by the musicians, all marched to Linster’s Opera House. All the improvised seats were filled, and several hundred persons stood, listening to the numbers played by the band and to the speakers.

As Mr. Mitchell aptly said in his address, this, the first Fourth on which Bend had an adequate meeting place, showed what an asset is such a splendid building as the new Opera House.

After music by the band, Miss Mabel Roberts gave a humorous recitation, introduced by John Steidl. Then Miss Roberts read the Declaration of Independence, and the Rev. J. Anthony Mitchell delivered the address of the occasion. The speaker briefly outlined the meaning of the Declaration, its history and the development of popular government since 1775. The benefits of the work of all political parties and factions to the common good of the country were dwelt upon.

After a brief recess for lunch and other secondary matters, the program was resumed. The afternoon consisted of horse races, man races, kids races, many other contests and dancing. It was pronounced the best dance ever.

HOW ABOUT THE TIDAL WAVE? The tidal wave that passed through Bend late Thursday afternoon was caused by Fred Shonquest falling off the bridge which is to carry the irrigation flume for his place. He was not injured.

This bridge seems to be a hoodoo, as a few days before, Metke and Nels Anderson were working on a bent when the rigging gave way, throwing them into the river.

Metke managed to get aboard the wreckage, and Anderson tried to swim ashore, but could not make it. John Usher put out in a boat and reached him just in time.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending July 3, 1935 WILL DRIVE BLINDFOLDED Miss Marvelo, who has appeared before audiences of more than 20,000 in various American cities, is to be seen in Bend Saturday afternoon in her “death drive,” under auspices of the Fourth of July committee. After being blindfolded by Mayor F.S. Simpson, Miss Marvelo will drive through the business district of Bend, starting from the corner of Wall and Oregon at 2:30 p.m., and will stop to shop in the local stores. In the parade to be headed by the blindfolded driver will be the rodeo rounders and the queen candidates. At the end of her blindfolded shopping tour through downtown Bend, Miss Marvelo is to drive her car over the prone body of a man, on the street in front of the Lumbermens bank.

BLINDFOLD DRIVE ROUTE SCHEDULED After being blindfolded by Mayor Fred F. Simpson at the Central Oregon Motor Company showrooms on Bond street at 2:30 p.m., Miss Marvelo is to drive through Bend tomorrow, dodging through the Saturday afternoon traffic and taking time only to shop at local stores. At the conclusion of her blindfolded drive, Miss Marvelo will steer her car across the body of Cowboy Jack, near the intersection of Wall and Oregon.

Miss Marvelo’s schedule will be as follows: 2:30 — Start from Central Oregon Motor Company; 2:37 — Arrive at Leedy’s;

Y E S T E R D AY

HUGE CROWD SEES BLINDFOLD DRIVE With several thousand spectators lining the sidewalks and at times blocking traffic, Miss Marvelo, blindfolded driver, carefully but swiftly maneuvered her automobile through shopping crowds here this afternoon.

Before starting her drive, Miss Marvelo asked various persons to inspect her hood blindfold. All said they were unable to see even a trace of light.

On her way through town, the blindfolded driver shopped at various places, following Dick Bosley through the thick crowds.

In a lifetime of laughs, there have also been a few tragedies.

In 1891, Buttons, then a child of 7, watched his mother and father fall from the high wire. His father was killed instantly, and his mother lived six months.

The family had just joined the Ringling Brothers Circus, and Buttons’ mother asked that they take care of her boy.

The promise was kept for 65 years — until the circus died.

He and his little fox terrier, Peanuts, gained fame with Ringling Brothers, and he’s also worked on plenty of movies — mostly playing a clown.

There was the “Great Divide,” with Mary Pickford; “Laugh Clown Laugh,” with Lon Chaney; “The Greatest Show on Earth,” and others.

Those are only memories now.

But W.H. “Buttons” Simpkins isn’t content with memories.

Sponsored by Ken Cale Hardware and the Deschutes Motel, Buttons has been busy escorting Water Pageant princesses, trying out soap box derby cars, directing traffic (to the motel), appearing at luncheons, cavorting on the streets ...

The circus may be dead, but laughter will never fade out.

50 YEARS AGO

25 YEARS AGO

For the week ending July 3, 1960

For the week ending July 3, 1985

BUTTONS THE CLOWN STILL KEEPING ’EM LAUGHING The sawdust trail has ended for Buttons the clown, but still the show goes on.

Born of the P.T. Barnum circus lot in 1884, Buttons has spent his entire 76 years making people laugh.

But he wasn’t laughing that day in 1956 when the famous Ringling Brothers Circus brought down the big tent for good.

Yet, he’s never quit clowning, and he’s here in Bend this week to pick up a few laughs and a few bucks during the Water Pageant festivities.

“The reason why I keep on working is because of an idea my grandparents had,” said Buttons. “It was their feeling that you might work out — but you’d never rust out — and that it’s best to keep active.”

Buttons, who in private life is W.H. Simpkins, says he’s the oldest active clown today.

He and his wife, the former Wynne Gallie, are now “retired” in Medford. But Buttons, who’s ambition has always been to make people laugh, just can’t leave the grease paint alone.

He got his name as a child clown, when he wore a pair of leather britches. The buttons were too big, and the little guy was too small ... and he was always asking someone to “button, button.”

“Oh, oh, here comes Buttons,” they’d say.

STREETS NEED ATTENTION (Editorial) Downtown merchants are upset with the city of Bend just now. The streets in the area are a mess.

The problem began last year when city crews applied what’s known as a chip seal surface.

Cold weather followed the application sooner than expected, and the asphalt and gravel coating never had time to cure properly.

This spring, as soon as the weather turned warm, the new surface began oozing. The city sprayed water to stop the oozing, but there is still a sticky problem.

2:40 — Arrive at Silhouette shop; 2:43 — Arrive at S. and N. shop; 2:45 — Wurzweiler’s; 2:48 — Modern Barber shop; 2:50 — Wetles; 2:55 — Palace; 2:58 — Cashman clothing store; 3:00 — Lumbermen’s Insurance; 3:05 — Will drive over cowboy.

Pedestrians walk across the street and track the oil and tar that sticks to their feet into the shops they visit. As a result, merchants are faced each day with carpets that must be cleaned constantly.

The city should go ahead and solve the problem immediately, despite the extra cost. It can resurface the streets, if that’s what must be done. Or it can dump gravel on them, and roll it in thoroughly. But whatever method it chooses, it should wait no longer.

BLM-RAJNEESH LAND SWAP TAKES MORE HEAT A proposed land swap between the Bureau of Land Management and the Rajneeshees came under fire again Tuesday.

The BLM is proposing to trade 11,000 acres scattered throughout Rancho Rajneesh for 10,000 acres of Rajneesh-owned land fronting the John Day River. BLM officials say the swap would allow better access to the public land and make management of the area more efficient.

At a hearing in the Jefferson County Courthouse, most who testified opposed the exchange.

Jon Bowerman, who ranches across the river from Rancho Rajneesh, said, “I’m not convinced it would be in the public interest to give the land away ... on the surface it looked good, but wording should be added to protect public rights,” he said.

William J. Bowerman, former University of Oregon track coach, now of Fossil, said there is no advantage to anyone except the Rajneeshees.

“I’m opposed to any organization that has done what they’ve done to the people of Antelope.”

Seattle strip-club magnate, city’s longest-running crime figure, dies at 93

By Steve Miletich The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Frank Colacurcio Sr., the strip-club magnate whose organized-crime exploits covered more than half a century and helped define Seattle’s history of police corruption and reform, died Friday. He was 93.

Colacurcio had been in declining health for some time, suffering from congestive heart failure. His death was confirmed by his attorney, Irwin Schwartz.

Colacurcio died at University of Washington Medical Center, said spokeswoman Leila Gray.

In keeping with his life story, Colacurcio was under indictment at the time of his death, facing allegations of racketeering and promoting prostitution.

“It is the end of an era, hopefully one that won’t be repeated,” former Seattle U.S. Attorney Jeff Sullivan said Friday.

Colacurcio died only a week after the final dismantling of his strip-club operations by federal prosecutors, 67 years after he was first sent to prison for what was then called carnal knowledge with a teenage girl.

As Seattle’s longest-running

New York Times News Service

Arnold Friberg, a widely popular artist of historical and religious scenes whose painstaking quest for stunning realism led him to Valley Forge, Pa., on a winter’s day to paint what became a famous portrait of George Washington praying in the snow, died Thursday in Salt Lake City. He was 96.

Continued from B1 Additionally, the dog must accumulate 750 “speed points,” with one point given per second every time a dog beats the set time on a course.

“They must have been working on this for about seven years,” said friend David Vasley, 49, of Corvallis. Art Brest, 52, competing with his 4-yearold border collie Flash, said a naturally fast dog only gets you halfway there.

Smaller, slower dogs tend to do a lot better making it through the course without knocking down the obstacles, in part because their handlers are able to keep up with them.

Dogs like Flash tend to outrun their handlers, Brest said, but can rack up a lot of speed points when they can make it through a course with no mistakes.

Brest said Flash had won his class on the standard course Saturday, a course where dogs leap over bars set to their height, shoot through plastic tunnels, weave through a series of poles planted in the ground and run up and down ramps and teeter-totters. But Flash knocked down a bar on the jumper’s course — a strippeddown course that skips the ramps and teeter-totters — and

Spectator Terri Frieze, 52, of Redmond, said watching the

agility trials got her thinking about what her dog Chloe might be able to do on a trials course.

Unfortunately, Chloe’s future in the agility trials circuit is probably limited, she said.

“I think we might have to wait until they have a competition where you’re supposed to knock things over,” Frieze said.

The new office, at 20355 Poe Sholes Drive, on the first floor of the county building, will provide about 15,000 square feet of space, plus a shop space for vehicle processing and maintenance.

Rhodes said the biggest impact of the office closure will probably be on people coming in to complete their mandatory registration as a sex offender.

He said those people should contact other agencies, like the Bend Police Department or Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, to register.

Oregon State Police has a 15year lease agreement with the county, under which it will pay about $480,000 a year with a 2.25 percent annual cost escalation in the first 10 years and a 2 percent annual increase after

The cause was complications of hip surgery, his daughter-inlaw Jayna Friberg-Cleamons said.

Friberg was probably best known for the “The Prayer at Valley Forge,” which depicts Washington kneeling beside his horse while his army winters at Valley Forge. To ensure utter accuracy, he went to the Smithsonian Institution

to study Washington’s actual uniform.

And when it came time to paint, he stood on the banks of the Schuylkill River in the bitter cold near the spot where he imagined Washington kneeled.

He removed his gloves.

“It was deserted, the wind moaning through the great trees, silent, lonely, cold,” he later recalled.

Ed Limato, longtime Hollywood agent, dies at 73

By Claire Noland Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Ed Limato, a longtime Hollywood agent known for shepherding A-list talent and throwing lively pre-Oscar parties at his Coldwater Canyon home, died Saturday. He was 73.

Limato died of lung disease at his home in Beverly Hills, said Christian Muirhead, a representative of the William Morris Endeavor Entertainment agency.

Limato, whose client list at various times was top-heavy with such stars as Kevin Costner,

Billy Crystal, Richard Gere, Mel Gibson, Steve Martin, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sharon Stone and Denzel Washington, spent most of his 44-year career at the William Morris Agency and International Creative Management.

Atypically, Limato nurtured genuine friendships with many of the stars he represented.

“Many agents tend to look at talent as a commodity today, to help their own careers,” Limato said in a 2005 Variety profile.

“I still think of talent as something to be served. If you believe

For years, the feds and other investigators picked through his trash, eavesdropped on his conversations and recruited snitches. They finally got him in the 1970s, for racketeering and failing to pay taxes on money skimmed from his businesses.

But their long-held suspicion that Colacurcio was involved in the execution-style slayings of several people who had crossed him never resulted in charges.

crime figure, Colacurcio often was portrayed by law enforcement officials and the news media as one of Seattle’s most notorious racketeering figures.

The reputation stemmed from convictions for tax evasion and racketeering that repeatedly sent him to prison. Adding to the lore were murky tales — involving corrupt cops and his catand-mouse dealings with law enforcement officials — that no one could explain, except perhaps Colacurcio.

Colacurcio benefited in the 1950s and 1960s when Seattle

Born July 10, 1936, in Mount Vernon, N.Y., Edward Frank Limato worked as a disc jockey in Florida and Louisiana and as an assistant to director Franco Zeffirelli in Rome before getting his first job at a talent agency.

He started sorting mail for the Ashley Famous Agency in New York in 1966. It became the International Famous Agency and, later, International Creative Management, and he became an agent. He moved to the West

Coast and, in 1978, jumped to the William Morris Agency.

Limato spent 10 years with William Morris, then returned to ICM and rose to president of the agency. After a dispute with company management in 2007, he sued to break his contract and went back to William Morris. Last year, the agency merged with Endeavor.

For many years, Limato’s party the Friday night before the Academy Awards was a must-attend event for high-profile stars and film industry figures.

Crash Continued from B1 It could be awhile before results of the testing are made available, he said.

“That stuff will happen, but because the offending driver is the one who died, there’s no rush on that, and that could take several weeks to come back,” Hastings said.

Hastings said he did not know if either of the drivers took evasive action prior to the crash, but that troopers from the Bend and Madras offices of the OSP are continuing their investigation.

The northbound lanes of the highway were blocked, and southbound traffic was restricted to one lane for ap-

Saturday’s crash was the second traffic fatality in Central Oregon in two days. On Friday afternoon, 80-year-old Fern Irving, of Athena, was killed when the car she was driving collided with a pickup truck towing a camper trailer about 23 miles north of Madras on U.S. Highway 97.

California ranch’s pristine views become public in historic deal

By Scott Kraft Los Angeles Times

IRVINE, Calif. — A rugged, 20,000-acre parcel of the original Irvine Ranch — a pristine landscape of steep canyons, native grassland and sycamore woodland that is home to golden eagles, mountain lions and dozens of rare and endangered species of plants and animals — became public property last week in a historic deal with the developer who has sculpted the look of modern suburbia in Southern California.

The open-space land, a gift from Donald Bren and the Irvine Co., was unanimously accepted by the Orange County Board of Supervisors, which also approved a long-term plan to manage the natural habitat, designated a National Natural Landmark four years ago. In one swoop, the size of parkland owned by the county grew by more than half.

The transfer of a large part of the historic ranch was an important milestone, placing the last

major chunk of open private land in public hands and signaling the end of an era of enormous growth for Orange County.

It also was the culmination of an effort that Bren, a 78-year-old multibillionaire, launched more than three decades ago when he took control of the 94,000-acre Irvine Ranch, about a fifth of Orange County.

“It’s been a long trail, these last 30 years, and this is a very significant event for us,” Bren said in a rare interview after the handover.

He called the private-public partnership on open spaces a rare example of “social entrepreneurship,” adding that “I’m proud of the people in the company who spent so much time with these community partnerships.

I couldn’t be more pleased. This is an investment in the future. It lives forever, and that is in fact a legacy.”

Over the years, Bren’s vision as a developer has transformed the Orange County landscape.

His Irvine Co. created a retail, commercial and suburban juggernaut on 44,000 acres of the ranch, from the Newport coast to the city of Irvine, becoming, in the process, one of the world’s largest and most copied developers of planned communities.

But he also set aside 50,000 acres for parks, greenways, and a recreational and wilderness preserve. More than half of that was previously donated to the public; the land given to the county Tuesday completes the transfer.

“I can’t even begin to guess what the value of this property is.

But in terms of its biological and geologic value, it is truly priceless,” said Michael O’Connell, executive director of the Irvine Ranch Conservancy. “It’s a world-class piece of land.”

The conservancy, a nonprofit entity created by the Donald Bren Foundation, will continue to manage the land, under contract to the county’s parks department.

Located 28 miles west of Baker City, the Sumpter Valley Dredge hasn’t operated for well over 50 years. But it stands today, the heart of a state heritage area, a reminder of a time when this and other mechanical dinosaurs scoured the earth in pursuit of gold.

By all rights, the Sumpter Valley

The Sumpter Valley Dredge is five stories high, 125 feet long and 52 feet wide. Built in 1935 and weighing 1,240 tons, it floated in a shallow pond of its own making as it scoured the Upper Powder River area for gold until it was discontinued in 1954.

Truth of abusive marriage will tarnish man’s sterling image Dear Abby: I have been married to “Ted” for 15 years. We have three school-age children.

My husband is extremely narcissistic and passive-aggressive.

During our entire relationship, he has been controlling and manipulative, as well as emotionally, economically and sexually abusive. I have remained in the marriage this long because I thought keeping the family intact was the right thing to do for my children. (Ted doesn’t abuse them. I am his only victim.)

Through counseling I have realized that living in the atmosphere of a loveless, abusive marriage can be as detrimental for kids as a breakup would be. I will soon be filing for divorce.

My dilemma: Because Ted is very good at projecting a “good guy” image, I’m sure that people won’t believe he is abusive.

Should I be open about the reason for the divorce and be accused of lying? We live in Ted’s hometown, a small, rural community. I don’t know if I can live with the stigma of having accused a “nice guy” of such a thing. On the other hand, I don’t want the abuse to be a “dirty little secret.” What do women do in situations like this?

— No Visible Wounds Dear No Visible Wounds: They “confide” their problems — with specific examples — to a couple of their closest girlfriends. The truth will spread like wildfire.

Dear Abby: I am an 18-year-old male. When I was 15, I met a girl on the Internet. We talked pretty often, visited each other and had a lot in common. I fell in love with her, as much as a teenager can love someone. Eventually we hit some bumps in the relationship, and she broke up with me.

We have rarely spoken since.

Abby, even though it was a teenage relationship and it was over long ago, it still hurts. Is this normal? Could it be that I didn’t get closure because we hardly talked afterward? It doesn’t

DEAR ABBY seem like it should still affect me as much as it does. I lack confidence when it comes to romance now.

— Uncertain Teen in Beaverton, Ore. Dear Uncertain Teen: The problem with teen romances isn’t that the people involved don’t fall in love — hard — it’s that they are growing so fast in so many different directions that the relationship is hard to maintain. That’s probably what happened to your romance. And yes, it hurts, usually until you find yourself involved in another one.

I’ll tell you a secret: MOST people lack confidence when it comes to romance. But lasting love usually grows out of meaningful friendship. So open yourself up and you may be pleasantly surprised by how little time it takes.

Dear Abby: I work in a doctor’s office. One of our patients makes a big scene if we do not address him by his title — “Reverend Smith.”

He has to tell everyone within earshot that he went to school for eight years to get that title. He insists that, out of respect, we should address him as such.

Abby, this man is not MY reverend. So far, I have avoided calling him this. Am I being disrespectful, or is he being pompous?

— Unimpressed in Louisville Dear Unimpressed: You are not only being disrespectful, but also passive-aggressive. Because this patient has made clear that he prefers to be addressed by the title he has earned, you should use it.

Confidential to My Readers: Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

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

Fireworks, heartthrobs celebrate 4th

By Chuck Barney

“Big Brother 12” 8 p.m. Thursday, CBS “Big Brother,” the show that turns a group of annoying humans into lab rats, is back to launch its 12th season. Yes, an even dozen. We can’t believe it, either.

Contra Costa Times

Fourth Of July celebrations Tonight Here’s how televised fireworks beat the real thing: You don’t have to fight the crowds.

Pyrotechnic displays look real pretty in HD. And if things get too loud, you can always hit the “mute” button. Fortunately, the networks are serving up several celebratory specials. On NBC, we’ve got “The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular” (9 p.m.) from New York City. It features a journey through the country’s musical history and includes a performance by teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. Over at CBS is “The Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular” (10 p.m.) with Craig Ferguson presiding over a program that has Toby Keith delivering some of his biggest hits. And on OPB, there’s “Capitol Fourth” (8 p.m.) with Jimmy Smits ushering viewers through performances by Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker, David Archuleta and others.

“Jaws” marathon Starts at 4:45 a.m., Sunday, Encore It’s summertime, which makes us think of beaches and the ocean and ... sharks. So sink your teeth into a daylong marathon of “Jaws” movies that includes Spielberg’s original classic and all the mediocre sequels.

“The Bachelorette” 8 p.m. Monday, ABC We’re down to just five guys on “The Bachelorette,” which means we’re moving much closer to the final rose ceremony and, of course, the inevitable breakup. Go, Ali!

“Friday Night Lights” 8 p.m. Friday, NBC The outstanding season of “Friday Night Lights” continues with more stress for Tami (Connie Britton). She’s put into a tough spot by Tim (Taylor Kitsch) after an anguished Becky (Madison Burge) goes to him for help.

NBC Universal

“The Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular’’ airs tonight on NBC. ing,” the contestants compete in the second semifinal round. Let’s hope we’ve gotten past the terrible acts by now.

MacPherson’s evil scheme.

“Wipeout” 8 p.m. Tuesday, ABC The carnage continues on “Wipeout” as couples compete in an obstacle called Blob Launch.

For some reason, that brings a demented little smile to our faces.

“David Suchet on the Orient Express” 8 p.m. Wednesday, OPB “David Suchet on the Orient Express: A Masterpiece Special” is a new program that has Suchet (“Poirot”) taking viewers for a ride across Europe aboard the iconic train. Along the way, we find a series of romantic cities and stunning scenery.

“Warehouse 13” 9 p.m. Tuesday, Syfy Season 2 of “Warehouse 13” kicks off with Pete and Myka (Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly) racking up more frequentflyer miles. They’re heading to London to gather clues about

“Top Chef: Washington” 9 p.m. Wednesday, Bravo Somehow, the new episode of “Top Chef: Washington D.C.” doesn’t seem all that appetizing.

It has the contestants whipping up baby food for host Padma Lakshmi’s newborn infant.

“Haven” 10 p.m. Friday, Syfy “Haven” is a new drama series about an FBI agent (Emily Rose) with a lost past who winds up in a small Maine town where supernatural shenanigans abound.

It debuts right after the season premiere of “Eureka.”

“The Bridge” 8 p.m. Saturday, CBS If you just can’t get by without another crime drama in your life, check out “The Bridge.” It stars Aaron Douglas as a beat cop determined to clean up the corruption in his department.

MANDY Mandy is a 3 month old Labrador retriever mix that was surrendered with her brother. Mandy is a very playful and energetic puppy. Mandy and Moe have had no training so far but are eager to start as soon as possible. Mandy is very timid at first because she has not been shown what this wonderful world has to offer. The ideal home for Mandy would have plenty of time to devote to training and socialization.

“Last Comic Standing” 9 p.m. Monday, NBC Is it OK to start laughing yet? On “Last Comic Stand-

C4 Sunday, July 4, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Sumpter Continued from C1 South, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest embraces the Burnt River Valley and other abandoned hamlets.

But this dredge and its predecessors changed the course of nature. Between 1913 and 1954, three of these behemoths made the Upper Powder their unchallenged hunting ground. Year after year, 24 hours a day, they plowed through thousands of acres of river valley and spewed mountains of gravel, known as tailings, upon the forest-fringed valley floor.

Dredging was the final step in a mining history that took Sumpter from a gold-panning camp in the 1860s, to a bustling mining boom town with thousands of residents at the start of the 20th century, to a veritable ghost town in the 1960s. Today, it has a population of fewer than 200, only some of whom maintain residence through the harsh winters.

Its biggest attraction, other than the historic dredge, is the Sumpter Valley Railroad, which carries tourists on a six-mile run every weekend from Memorial Day through September. And every July 4th weekend, the town celebrates Independence Day with a big flea market, music by the Blue Mountain Ol’ Time Fiddlers and a bake sale to benefit the volunteer fire department.

An engineer gently guides Old No. 3, a 40-ton Heisler locomotive, into the Sumpter depot.

The steam engine first served the Sumpter Valley Railroad in 1915, but it was working at a Boise Cascade Corp. sawmill in rural Idaho before it returned to Oregon in 1971.

The fire department is near and dear to the heart of every Sumpter resident. In a story echoed by many frontier towns, fire all but removed the town from the map in 1917.

Gold was discovered on Cracker Creek in 1862, not far from its confluence with the Powder River, according to the Sumpter Valley Museum Association. Five adventurers from South Carolina, detouring through Oregon en route to the California gold fields, set up camp and began panning on the off chance they’d turn up some shiny flakes. They did, and they stayed. They built a simple log cabin and named it “Fort Sumter,” after the site in their home state where the first volleys of the Civil War had been fired a year earlier.

Initially, growth was slow, as miners panned and sluiced the rivers and hillsides down to their bedrock. Then new technology entered the industry. Hydraulic placer mining and hard-rock mining replaced earlier methods. The pneumatic drill came to town. Stamp mills could crush 100 tons of ore a day. Chemical processing (sodium cyanide was popular) assisted hard-rock miners in extracting gold from quartz and other alloys.

The town blossomed about the time its name was changed to Sumpter, with the establishment of a post office in 1883.

Seven stage lines connected the community with Baker City (to the east) and other mining boomtowns (such as Granite, to the west). In 1890, the Sumpter Valley Railroad arrived in town.

The boom was on.

The U.S. Census of 1900 counted Sumpter’s population at more than 3,500 registered voters. According to the museum association, that did not count women, children or Chinese. A newspaper survey at the time reported 12 hotels or rooming houses, six restaurants, seven general stores, two churches and 16 saloons.

many adjacent homes in a 12square-block area had been reduced to ashes. Although no one died, Sumpter never recovered.

Miners moved on to other strikes and other towns.

A mine car helps to re-create the entrance to the Dead Horse Mine in the Sumpter Valley Municipal Museum. Dead Horse was one of 35 hardrock gold mines that speckled Elkhorn Ridge and the Blue Mountains near Sumpter in the late 1800s and early 1900s. planks. Brick buildings popped up between the older wooden structures. In 1900, nearly $9 million in gold was taken from 35 mines in the greater Sumpter area. Miners were making $4 per day for a 12-hour shift.

But on a hot Sunday in August 1917, as the museum association recounts, the town was irreversibly devastated. Fire erupted in the cook’s quarters of the Capital Hotel and quickly spread to adjacent buildings. In no time, even the wood-plank streets were aflame. Within three hours, the entire business district and

The dredging of the upper Powder River had begun in 1913, with a pair of the ungainly looking machines going to work as hard-rock values began to drop.

They continued to operate for a few more years after the great fire. The remains of Dredge No. 1 may still be seen near the hamlet of McEwen, where the Sumpter Valley Railroad has one of its depots. It hasn’t lifted a scoop since 1924, a year after Dredge No. 2 ceased to operate.

The Great Depression inspired new gold exploration. In 1935, the Sumpter Valley Dredge Co. invested $350,000 to build Dredge No. 3. Over the next 19 years — except for a shutdown during the peak years of World War II — it recovered about $4.5 million from the valley (at a price of $35 per ounce), according to Oregon State Parks.

It required just three men to operate the noisy dredge at any one time. Crews kept it going 24 hours a day, seven days a week, taking only Christmas Day and July 4th as holidays. A belt of 72 buckets, each one weighing a full ton, dumped gravel from the riverbed upon screens and sluice boxes, which were washed by a constant stream of water (about 3,000 gallons per minute). Gold was separated out, and the

waste gravels spewed back into the stream bed, through a conveyor belt on a stacker arm. The tailings (1,600 acres of them) are its highly visible legacy.

Five stories high, 125 feet long and 52 feet wide, the dredge was larger than a riverboat. Although it weighed 1,240 tons, it floated in a shallow pond of its own making. After it was abandoned for economic reasons, the dredge sank to the bottom of its pond.

In spring, when the pond would fill with snowmelt, the dredge’s stern would float, although its bow end was weighted down by the digging arm and its hefty buckets.

In 1993, Oregon State Parks took control of the site and created the 77-acre Sumpter Valley Dredge State Heritage Area.

The pond was sealed off from the river, and the rotting hull pumped and refurbished. Then the dredge was refloated, and sand was injected beneath its hull to stabilize it.

Today, a small visitor center provides orientation. Interpretive panels and push-button audio pedestals, on a floating dock that sits beside the hull, are the best sources of information. Visitors are encouraged to wander inside the old dredge, although the upper decks are unsafe and are chained off.

Some 3.5 miles of trails wind over and around the tailings, beside the meandering Powder River. Despite the industrial history, wildlife have made an impressive recovery here.

A gold-mining mecca in the early 20th century, the Baker County town of Sumpter was largely destroyed by a 1917 fire. Today, it has fewer than 200 residents, a far cry from its glory days, when it boasted a population well over 3,500.

From previous page In its heyday, the Sumpter Valley Railroad was more than a passenger train. Nicknamed the “Stump Dodger,” it hauled as many as six carloads of mining machinery from Baker City to Sumpter each day, and delivered 600 carloads of timber every month to the region’s mills. The Great Depression signaled its decline. Passenger service ceased in 1937, freight runs a decade later. The original track was scrapped as the roadbed eroded away.

When a small group of volunteers set out to rebuild the narrow-gauge railroad in 1971, they quickly discovered that they had to start almost from scratch.

Little did they know that it would take 20 years to cover the six miles from McEwen to Sumpter.

The railway’s website recounts how the group found locomotive boilers serving as industrial furnaces and cattle cars rotting in pastures. They located a former Sumpter Valley Railroad locomotive at a Boise Cascade Corp. sawmill in rural Idaho, and two more idling in a White Pass and Yukon Railroad barn in Skagway, Alaska. Generous donations from the Union Pacific Railroad and other supporters enabled them to obtain the vehicles and restore them. Tracks were slowly laid atop the original right-of-way. Short excursions began from the McEwen station in 1976, but it took until 1991 to reach Sumpter.

Today, a new railroad depot, completed in 2007 but modeled after the community’s original station, stands in Sumpter within easy shouting distance of the Sumpter Valley Dredge. A ticket agent takes fares — $15 roundtrip for adults, $9 for children, $40 for families of four — and turns passengers over to a conductor, who offers open-air or covered seating.

There are several weekend trips each way: Sumpter to McEwen and return. The excursion normally takes about 35 minutes in each direction, as engineers stoke the locomotive’s woodfired furnace and pull the whistle at every crossing.

The only frightening moments occur when a band of train robbers tries to hold up the railroad.

Fortunately, there always seems to be a sheriff on board, and the bad guys haven’t won a fight yet.

Elkhorn Byway The town of Sumpter itself has limited visitor facilities. Although there are a few small lodgings and cafes, many visitors choose to overnight in nearby Baker City, a community of more than 10,000 people, and explore Sumpter as part of the 106-mile Elkhorn National Scenic Byway.

Traveling first south, then west, from Baker City, the byway follows state Highway 7 along the north shore of man-made Phillips Lake, a 4.5-mile-long, waterfowl-rich reservoir in the Powder River. It passes through McEwen, home to the Sumpter Valley Railroad depot, a church and not much else. Three miles farther, the byway branches east on state Highway 220 into Sumpter.

At this point, route numbers become superfluous. Route 220 becomes 520, then 24, 73 and 1146. Travelers are better advised to keep an eye on the “Elkhorn Oregon Scenic Byway” signs as they cross the Blue Mountain saddle at Blue Springs Summit (5,864 feet).

Bull Run Creek descends to Granite, another erstwhile mining town with two dozen residents, and the last store and gas station for 57 miles. The byway turns north here. It passes a set of old stone walls built by 19thcentury Chinese miners, fringes the North Fork John Day Wilderness at Crane Flat, then turns east over lofty Elkhorn Sum-

Finally, the road skirts the Anthony Lakes winter-resort complex and returns steeply to the Baker Valley and the rustic village of Haines, with its well-known steak house and Eastern Oregon Museum.

Ghost towns Of all the so-called “ghost towns” outside of Sumpter, the community of Granite, 16 miles west, may hold the greatest interest for visitors. Founded July 4, 1862, as Independence, it took its present name in 1878 when its new postmaster discovered there was already a town of that name near Salem. Although its population probably never rose above 100 people — the 1940 census counted 86 residents, a number that had dropped to a mere two in 1960 — Granite developed a reputation as a rowdy outpost of civilization.

The Lodge at Granite offers gas, meals, beds and summer tent accommodations. An estimated two dozen seasonal residents are restoring some of the abandoned homes and shops scattered on the hillside above. For the history buff, there’s plenty left open to the imagination.

Whitney is another “bygone community with several buildings still standing, and only a couple of resident families. Located along the north fork of the Burnt River, 12 miles southwest of Sumpter off state Highway 7, it hasn’t had a post office since World War II. But it was once a thriving logging town and a key stop on the Sumpter Valley Railway.

Visitors who delight in exploring ghost towns can also put these on their itineraries: Bourne, or “Cracker City,” is seven miles north of Sumpter via Baker County Road 553. Its post office closed in 1927, but it still claims a few seasonal residents with homes tucked back in an Elkhorn Ridge canyon.

Auburn had 1,000 homes in 1862, but it was largely abandoned by the 1870s. Its post office closed in 1903. The site is on Blue Canyon Road between Baker City and McEwen, 15 miles east of Sumpter.

Greenhorn is the smallest incorporated town in Oregon. Located at 6,300-foot elevation near Tipton Summit, off state Highway 7 about 20 miles southwest of Sumpter, it’s official population is zero. That’s right: According to the 2000 census, no one lived in this community. But in the 1890s, it had about 3,200 residents. And it still has a mayor, although he reportedly lives in the Willamette Valley.

Continued from C1 Johnson, 49, says that style of small-town touring came about after he heard from independent bookstores wondering when a tour might ever bring him through their neck of the woods.

Viking, which is part of the Penguin Group, is great about sending him on tours to larger cities, “but it’s kind of difficult for them to tour me in Redmond,” he says.

So about three years ago, he decided to put his motorcycle, which he says was “dryrotting on its tires,” to use, making a big loop from his home in tiny Ucross, Wyo., and back again.

His popularity in some of the towns is “hilarious,” he says. “I show up in some of these small towns and, like, a hundred people will show up at the bookstore, which is just fantastic.”

He gives much of the credit for his success to small bookstores, but of course the books themselves are part of the draw. In “Junkyard Dogs,” sheriff Walt Longmire becomes embroiled in a range war when modern developers hope to shut down a nearby junkyard.

He believes the book is his funniest yet, something he didn’t expect from one in which he explores man at

Warner Bros. and TNT network are working on a TV show based on the series.

“I will have you know that you are talking to a creative consultant for the show,” says Johnson.

The working title is “Longmire,” but he stresses that there are a lot of hoops to jump through before something gets optioned and a pilot episode appears.

Still, he’s pretty thrilled.

“Very rarely do series books get picked up to do something like this with,” he says. “Standalone books, thrillers, a lot of times they get Submitted photo picked up for

motion pictures, because it’s just one story. I’m six novels down the road on this series ... this is huge.”

He won’t have to ride his motorcycle from Ucross to Los Angeles to take meetings, either.

“It’s written into my contract that all I have to do is just phone the meetings in; I don’t have to go to Los Angeles. I can just talk on the phone, which is handy because it allows me to have input, and it also allows them, if they get really tired of listening to me, to just hang the phone up.”

Someone you’ve dated doesn’t recognize you? Laugh it off

By Lisa Bonos The Washington Post

That guy over there — the one perusing the produce at Safeway — looks familiar. A friend of a friend? An old classmate? Wait!

Have we been on a date?

With interconnected social and professional circles, running into someone you’ve dated can be more than a bit awkward. Especially when one of you doesn’t remember the other.

Dating expert Evan Marc Katz, 37, says such encounters are common among urban daters. “When you’re talking about 100 dates over five years, it’s sort of not surprising.� If you’re dating frequently and you didn’t go on more than one date — and nothing memorable happened — dates can tend to blend in, Katz says.

In fact, Katz’s best friend found himself in such a situation. It took those daters about 30 minutes into their second date — years removed — to realize that they’d been out before.

Katz likens such a meeting to running into someone familiar at a party and trying to figure out how you know each other. “You just gotta try to get a good laugh out of it,� he says. “What else can you do?�

Andrea Latta, 26, had gone out for drinks with a guy; they’d had a good time and texted occasion-

ally, but their travel schedules kept them from a follow-up date.

One night, about three months after their first date, she got a text from him, inviting her to join him at a bar in Arlington, Va. But when she showed up and said hello, he didn’t seem to recognize her — or their plans to meet up. “He said ‘hi’ as if you’d say to someone squeezing in at the bar and then turned away,� Latta said. “I don’t know if he thought I was someone else, if he had mixed me up with some other girl in his phone.�

Latta decided not to “out� him, a move that Washington style consultant Celena Gill says is smart. The best way to handle such a situation, she says, is to give the other person a subtle opening.

Simply say: “Haven’t we met before?� With enough conversation, the other person might figure it out. But if not, don’t dwell: Keep the conversation moving, she advises. “If you had a bad experience, you don’t want them to ask you out again,� Gill said. “Skip it, leave it in the past.�

The blank stare Which is exactly what Lani Rosenstock Inlander did when a familiar face didn’t remember her.

Rosenstock Inlander, a style consultant devoted to making others appear memorable, showed up for a photo shoot in Brooklyn and almost immediately was prepared for an awkward run-in. A guy she had dated for just a month, about five years earlier, had lived in the building where the shoot was taking place.

She went back for several shoots, and one day walked smack into Tim — and his wife. “I said: ‘Hi, how are you?’ And he just thinks I’m someone walking in the door, saying ‘hi.’ ... It was a complete blank, like he

had never seen me in his entire life,� she said. “If I kiss someone goodnight — even if it was just once and not a big deal — I’m not going to forget what they look like.�

Sam Yagan, chief executive for the online dating site OkCupid, says online daters often run into each other in person after only having “met� online. “People don’t realize at the time what’s happening,� Yagan said. “It’s only when one person is back in front of their computer� that he realizes that cute girl from Starbucks looks familiar because of her online profile.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, July 4, 2010: This year, you add much more than you are aware of when in public, at work or within the community. You gain through these appearances and your efforts. People see that you care. If you are single, you probably have more allure than you realize. Choosing the right person will be a reflection of knowing what you want. If you are attached, you and your partner could enjoy a hobby and doing even more together. ARIES pushes you into the limelight.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Someone or a situation could trip you up. Clearly you are not happy, but what you do or how you deal with this interference defines you. Look to a child or loved one for a good time and a reason to smile.

Tonight: Adding to the fireworks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HH Understand that we all need to back down sometimes. Right now you simply might need some space and distance from what is going on. You will gain a far better perspective if you get it. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Forget the thought of being the recluse. Forget getting caught up in paperwork. Find other gregarious people and go to a ballgame, or just share over a lengthy meal. An after-movie

chat over a hamburger works, too. Tonight: Live for now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You could be more pressured than you realize by a situation. This is a question of your perspective. An older friend or relative clearly wants your time. Do as much as you can without resorting to sarcasm or frustration. Tonight: Wherever you are, expect to be noticed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Stretch in order to identify with another person; otherwise, you might never see eye to eye. This person could demand a lot, but if you understood where this need is coming from, it might be OK. Your good will and nature always shine through.

Tonight: Listen to great music.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Work with a partner, though you might be stunned by what is coming down the path. You might want to review a situation or think it through with this person. You often have very different ideas and styles. Tonight: Make togetherness the theme.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Defer to another person, and try to understand what motivates him or her. You might find that deep down you are very similar or have issues in common. A get-together with friends proves to be eventful.

Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to rethink a decision, with new information coming forward. An important

event or happening turns out even better than you expected.

Enjoy visiting and meeting new people. Tonight: Make it early.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Wake up and be more spontaneous, more childlike. Once in a while, tossing away all of life’s heavies does make a difference.

Once you allow your inner child out, others seem to respond in kind. An invitation from a distance will be hard to say “no” to. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Stay close to home if you want to. There is no rule saying you must go off and do this or that.

Make yourself comfortable with the Sunday paper, or curl up with a good book. If you want to take a walk or meet up with a friend, do.

This is your day, too. Tonight: Allow another person to dote on you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You might have a lot more to say than you thought. A friend might have a difficult time getting a word in. Listen to a different perspective. A key loved one lets you know how cared for you are.

Spend more time with this person.

Tonight: The only answer is yes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Be aware of the costs of a decision. You might not have all the answers just yet, but keep listening, thinking and asking questions. Someone you enjoy being around adds to the specialness of the day. Accept an invitation to a local spot.

Tonight: Splurge on a dessert. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Guitar heroes twang, roar Eric Clapton hosts 11-hour concert in Chicago park

By Jon Pareles New York Times News Service

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — Closeups of strings, fretboards and guitarists’ callused fingers filled the video screens on June 26 at Toyota Park, a stadium just outside Chicago, where Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival presented some two-dozen guitar-slingers during a sold-out, 11hour concert.

Joining Clapton among the headliners were B.B. King, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Buddy Guy and Vince Gill. Clapton attended the whole show before leading his own band, with Beck and Steve Winwood as guests. He sat in during the concert’s noontime opening, set by the rip-roaring Louisiana slide guitarist Sonny Landreth, and later appeared with Sheryl Crow.

It was the third Crossroads guitar marathon Clapton has organized; the others were in 2004 in Dallas and in 2007 here.

While the concerts are benefits for Crossroads Center, Antigua, a nonprofit addiction-treatment clinic that Clapton founded in the Caribbean, they are also rallies for what sometimes seems to be an endangered species: the guitar hero, the kind of player who can seize and hold an audience with chorus after chorus of an instrumental solo.

ABOVE: From left: Jonny Lang, Buddy Guy and Ron Woods onstage.

LEFT: The man himself, Eric Clapton.

Surviving punk Punk set out to overthrow the guitar hero decades ago, seeing long solos as pointless indulgences. It damaged the concept, but the species survives. Over the course of the day the gathered musicians used their electric guitars for tickle and twang, for keening and roaring, for funk rhythm and airborne melody, for conversation and competition.

Crossroads was a decidedly old-fashioned rock event. Every note, give or take an echo effect, was played by hand. And nearly every band welcomed guests during its set, implying that musicians can still reach back to a common foundation in the blues, even after decades of niche marketing and genre fragmentation.

It wasn’t a blues festival — Chicago already has one — but largely a blues-rock festival, with Clapton, Beck, ZZ Top, Johnny Winter and Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones, who were once students and transformers of the blues, now appearing as forefathers.

Their elders and idols, like King and the 78-year-old Hubert Sumlin, Howlin’ Wolf’s longtime guitarist, played laconic, teasing, subtle solos. The blues-rockers were flashier and more brazen, qualities that long ago propelled their music into big rooms. The Robert Cray Band and Cesar Rojas and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, showing just their bluesy side at Crossroads, soaked up blues-rock along with its blues sources when they got started in the 1970s and now sound rootsy themselves.

Funk rhythms, brittle and kinetic, are fully embraced by the youngest contingent, including Mayer, the gospel pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph and the fierce Texas blues-rockers Doyle Bramhall II and Gary Clark Jr. Beck was up to date with them, leading a band with a thumbpopping funk bass player and using futuristic guitar-synthesizer tones in his solos, although the lessons of electric blues — the searing phrases, the tension in a melody line — have never left his playing. (He went back to unadorned blues in his spot with Clapton.)

Hendrix and Clapton himself.

The Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi Band summoned the heaving, gospelly, two-drummer thrust of the Allman Brothers Band; Trucks and a guest guitarist, Warren Haynes, are both members of the Allmans, who had to cancel their Crossroads appearance because Gregg Allman received a liver transplant last week.

There were round-robin solos, multi-guitar collisions and multigenerational colloquies. There weren’t many women among the headliners: just Crow, who played songs from her coming album, and the singer and guitarist Susan Tedeschi. Guy, the 73-yearold blues guitarist no one should challenge, was flanked by the 29-year-old Jonny Lang and by Wood, 63, of the Rolling Stones.

Lang emulated Guy’s wailing high notes and bursts of speed, making guitar-hero faces, only to be shown moments later by Guy, wearing a sage expression, how to make them signify pain, suspense, pride and rage rather than technical skill. (Wood, wisely, stayed on the sidelines, playing his own terse, splintered blues leads.)

Guitar geeks could appreciate Mayer, whose power-trio songs demand rhythm, lead and noise

virtually simultaneously. There were also guitarists to delight aficionados: Landreth; Sumlin, who still sang with gusto despite the oxygen tubes in his nose; the rockabilly pioneer James Burton, who could make his guitar lines chicken-peck or swoop like a pedal steel guitar, and the English progressive-folk guitarist Bert Jansch (from Pentangle), who picked meditative, syncopated, multitiered counterpoint on acoustic guitar.

Gill, a Nashville country virtuoso, had his band back up four other guitarists, the bluesman Keb’ Mo’, the pop-jazz guitarist Earl Klugh and the country guitarist Albert Lee, and matched them idiom for idiom, responding to Keb Mo’ with blues and to Lee’s bluegrassy twang with equally quick-fingered runs. (Gill also shared vocals with Crow on a Clapton hit: “Lay Down Sally.”)

SUDOKU SOLUTION

ANSWER TO TODAY’S JUMBLE

sang or played, he was still pithy and improvisatory. The indomitable Guy, rightfully, led off the tangled all-star finale: “Sweet Home Chicago.”

Near the end of the concert a smiling Clapton announced the possibility of another Crossroads: “This was going to be the last one, but I don’t think it will be.” He has “other people to invite,” he said, and he does. There are many eligible blues-rockers — the Dead Weather, Them Crooked Vultures, the Black

Keys — and guitar-loving jam bands. Clapton could easily add guitarists and guitar bands from outside that blues-rock home turf, who still cherish the instrument but exploit it in other textural and cultural ways: Wilco, Sonic Youth, Dirty Projectors and the indie-rock guitar dynamo Marnie Stern; the Indian slide guitarist Debashish Bhattcharya; and the Brazilian bossa nova master Joao Gilberto (who was initially announced for this Crossroads but was not in the final lineup)

Headliner Clapton’s own set mostly puttered along until Beck and then Winwood, one of the day’s most cogent soloists, forced him to push himself. King was in a strange, long-winded mood, joshing while the band vamped and Clapton uncomfortably indulged him. But when he finally

WORLD CUP T O DAY

ZACK HALL

LOCAL SPORTS

Results Germany 4, Argentina 0, Germany advances to semifinals.

Spain 1, Paraguay 0, Spain advances to semifinals.

Tradition in Sunriver is a ‘great thing’ for Jeld-Wen

Highlight David Villa rescued Spain, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 quarterfinal victory over Paraguay in the 83rd minute.

A dull match suddenly ignited in the second half with two blocked penalty shots, one for each team, in a two-minute period.

Star of the day

Klamath Falls company is positive about having brought the Champions Tour major tournament to Central Oregon

Miroslav Klose scored twice, giving him 14 World Cup goals in 100 appearances for the national team, as Germany routed Argentina 4-0 in the quarterfinals.

Klose’s 14 tie him with Gerd Mueller, one goal behind Brazil striker Ronaldo. And Klose will have two games left — a semifinal and either the final or the third-place match — to get the record.

I

t is no secret: This COULD be the last year the Jeld-Wen Tradition is played in Central Oregon.

Or it might not be.

About the only thing certain at this point is that Jeld-Wen’s title sponsorship contract with the PGA Tour — which owns the Champions Tour, on which The Tradition is a major championship — ends this year.

Without Jeld-Wen as a major sponsor it seems unlikely The Tradition would stay in Central Oregon.

And with that fact comes a question: Will this year mark the last time that legendary golfers such as Tom Watson roam the fairways of Sunriver’s Crosswater Club?

“There hasn’t been a decision yet,” says Bill Hueffner, director of development and professional relations for Klamath Falls-based Jeld-Wen Windows and Doors and a member of the Jeld-Wen Tradition Foundation board. “But we are talking with all the parties that are involved.

“We want to know just as much as we want to let everybody else know when those conversations are completed.”

Hueffner, who is based in Portland, expresses mostly positive feelings about The Tradition’s threeyear run in Sunriver.

Jeld-Wen and the tournament’s Tradition Foundation board took a risk when they moved the tournament, one of five major championships on the over50 pro golf circuit, from the Portland area to Sunriver in 2007.

See Tradition / D6

Lookahead The semifinals are set, with Uruguay playing the Netherlands on Tuesday in Cape Town, and Germany facing Spain on Wednesday in Durban.

Germany and Spain have faced off 20 times, with the Germans ahead 8-6-6. In the World Cup, the Germans have two wins and a draw.

The Dutch and Uruguayans have met twice, with the Netherlands winning 2-0 in the 1974 World Cup at Hanover, Germany.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands— A brief look at Saturday’s prologue of the Tour de France: Stage: An 5.5-mile time trial in Rotterdam.

Winner: Time-trial Olympic champion Fabian Cancellara, who earned his fifth stage victory on the Tour.

He completed the course in 10 minutes and beat Tony Martin of Germany by 10 seconds. Seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong was fourth, 22 seconds behind.

Defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain was five seconds behind Armstrong.

Yellow Jersey: Cancellara.

Horner watch: Bend’s Chris Horner, who rides for Armstrong’s Team RadioShack, finished in 58th place, 52 seconds behind.

Next stage: Today’s first stage takes the peloton from Rotterdam to Brussels, Belgium, on a 139-mile route through the Flanders region.

The stage is likely to favor a sprint finish, but the expected side winds could cause breaks in the peloton.

Wave of success Flowriders are taking it up a notch in a competition on an artificial wave in Sunriver

By Katie Brauns The Bulletin

SUNRIVER — Flowriding looks easy when experts are on the wave.

But in reality, it’s a sport that takes precision.

“It does take some practice to master the high-performance skills,” noted Waveloch Flow Tour Director (and announcer), Chris Granone, during the competition Saturday at Mavericks at Sunriver. “With 25-mile-an-hour water running up your feet, to be able to land those types of maneuvers is certainly inspiring and awesome.”

Flowriders surf on stationary, artificial waves called sheet waves, designed by Wave Loch Inc., to replicate the shape of an ocean wave. Flowriding incorporates techniques and tricks derived from surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding.

As stars fade, waiting on new ones to arrive Stalwarts of sport like Woods and Federer are struggling, leaving a void that someone can fill

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

T

iger Woods struggles anymore just to play the weekend. On this big weekend, Roger Federer isn’t playing at all.

Italy got an early ticket home from South Africa. So, too, did the Brazilians, who expected to romp to yet another World Cup title.

The heavyweight champions of the world are two brothers from Ukraine who are huge in Germany but virtually ignored almost everywhere else. Mike Tyson, meanwhile, makes his living

these days shaking hands with people instead of hitting them.

And no one seems to be hitting at all in baseball, where pitchers are taking the mound like it’s 1968 all over again.

Everything is cyclical, of course, which is one reason — besides age — that Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras aren’t playing in the Wimbledon final.

But the big names and the big teams we always used to count on to deliver don’t seem to be delivering as much anymore.

There’s a new world order in sports.

The usual suspects are missing in action, and we’re waiting for new stars to take their place.

Unfortunately, the new stars have yet to arrive. Take, for example, the Tour de France, which opened a three-week run Saturday not in France, but in the Netherlands.

S B Mixed martial arts • Lesnar rallies to beat Carwin to unify UFC heavyweight title: Brock Lesnar rallied from a horrific firstround beating to stop Shane Carwin with a choke in the second round, defending his heavyweight title at UFC 116 on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Lesnar (5-1), the intimidating former pro wrestler and the UFC’s biggest payper-view star, won his first fight in nearly a year despite taking a pounding in the opening minutes from Carwin, the previously undefeated interim champion. Lesnar took down Carwin in the second round and got Carwin in an arm triangle choke, forcing Carwin to tap out at the MGM Grand Garden. “I knew he was getting tired,” Lesnar said.

“Each shot was less dramatic than the other. ... I stand before you a humble champion, and I’m still the toughest (guy) around.” Lesnar canceled two previous bouts with Carwin (12-1) after developing an intestinal illness that nearly killed him. His first bout since UFC 100 showcased his improving mixed martial arts skills alongside his brute toughness.

Auto racing • Power wins Indy pole: The Penske juggernaut rolls on. Will Power won the pole at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International on Saturday to lead a sweep of the top three spots by Team Penske, which extended its IndyCar Series record of consecutive poles to eight. It also was the fifth straight pole at Watkins Glen for Penske, which has yet to post a series win in five tries at the storied road course. Power covered the 11-turn, 3.4-mile course in 1 minute, 29.3164 seconds at 135.832 mph and was followed by teammates Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe.

Soccer • Noble in defeat, Ghana team visits Nelson Mandela: The heartbreak lingered, yet Ghana’s soccer team exited from the World Cup in heroic fashion after coming within an inches-too-high kick of advancing further than any African team in history. A day after their devastating shootout loss to Uruguay in the quarterfinals, the Ghanaian players received a South African version of red-carpet treatment — visits Saturday to the homes of former president Nelson Mandela and his ex-wife, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, both icons of the anti-apartheid movement.

“It’s a dream come true,” said midfielder Derek Boateng after the team met Mandela at his mansion in an affluent Johannesburg neighborhood. “He is a legend, you know, and everybody is talking about him,” Boateng said. “It is the first time we have met him.”

Football • Eagles may cut Michael Vick: A person familiar with the team’s thinking says the Philadelphia Eagles are strongly considering releasing Michael Vick. The person says the team might cut Vick no matter what police conclude during their investigation of a shooting that followed the quarterback’s birthday celebration in Virginia Beach last week. The person spoke to The Associated Press early Saturday on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. The Eagles issued a statement Saturday saying “any report or speculation that suggests the Eagles are considering releasing Vick are not true.

We will continue to gather information and monitor the situation and we will not have any further comment until that process is complete.” Vick has said he had nothing to do with the shooting.

Serena dominates, takes her fourth Wimbledon title

Cancellara wins Tour prologue; Armstrong fourth

By Greg Bishop New York Times News Service

By Jamey Keaten

WIMBLEDON, England — For all the unpredictability at Wimbledon in women’s singles, for the seeds fallen and the contenders crushed, the tournament ended as most predicted it would at the beginning.

It concluded with Serena Williams hoisting another trophy, delivering another barrage of aces and taking another step forward among tennis’ all-time greats. It ended, 6-3, 6-2, against Vera Zvonareva on Saturday afternoon, in a little more than an hour, a victory stunning, lopsided and complete.

Williams captured her second consecutive Wimbledon title and fourth over all. It was also her 13th Grand Slam singles title, which moved her into sixth place on the career list in women’s tennis, past Billie Jean King.

“This one’s special,” Williams said during an on-court interview, adding. “Hey, Billie. I got you.”

After the match, Williams lingered on Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. She smiled, pumped her right fist, bent over, waved and signed autographs, the celebration long, lasting.

This championship seemed to mean more than most. For Williams, this had been a strange Wimbledon. She talked as often about her curtsy as her tennis, but on the day the Queen of England came here for the first time in 33 years, Williams played on Court 2.

Her sister Venus lost in the quarterfinals, ensuring that the sisters would not play in the final for the first time since 2007. They even dropped a doubles match, ending their Grand Slam plans.

But in singles, Serena Williams never wavered and rarely found herself in danger.

Over two weeks, she did not so much as drop a set.

She knocked out Maria Sharapova in the fourth round, avenging her loss in the 2004 final to Sharapova, who was all of 17 at the time. She mostly dominated Li Na, the ninth seed, and crushed the unseeded Petra Kvitova to ensure that at least one Williams sister would play in the Wimbledon final for the 10th time in the last 11 years.

As the tournament unfolded, the story transformed. It became less about Williams’ tennis prowess and more about her serve. Williams managed to turn that serve into a third person, its own character. She had a talk with her serve. She described her serve’s career.

The day before the final, she told reporters how her father, Richard, used to end practice sessions by having her and Venus tune their serves. Serena said that every time her father turned his back, the girls would start talking. When he turned back to the court, they would resume their serving.

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — Lance Armstrong could hardly have imagined a better start to what he’s calling his last Tour de France.

The Texan placed an impressive fourth in the short opening time trial, shrugging off renewed doping allegations to dust several other likely podium contenders as well as edge rival Alberto Contador, the defending champion and prerace favorite.

Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara, the world and Olympic time trial champion, collected a fourth Tour prologue win and second in a row, clocking 10 minutes even for the 5.5-mile ride on rain-dampened roads in Rotterdam.

Armstrong trailed 22 seconds back in fourth. Perhaps most impressively, the American bested Contador by 5 seconds.

The American’s solid performance was almost certain to brighten spirits within the RadioShack team on a day that started with new claims by former teammate Floyd Landis that the seven-time Tour champ was once involved in doping.

The 38-year-old sought to focus on the racing.

“In my heart, that was a surprise,” Armstrong said. “I wanted to have a decent day in the time trial, and I was not the best out there today.”

“But among the (general classification) rivals, I have to say it was the best one I’ve done since the comeback,” Armstrong said, referring to his Tour return last year after a 3-year hiatus.

Some potential Tour title contenders were already facing disappointment: Britain’s Bradley Wiggins, an Olympic gold medalist and strong time-trial rider who was fourth in last year’s Tour, was 77th overall — 56 seconds behind Cancellara.

Andy Schleck, who finished second in last year’s Tour — one rung above Armstrong on the podium — placed 112th, 1:09 back of his Saxo Bank teammate and race leader.

Armstrong came into the time trial predicting he wouldn’t win it, saying that he’s “lost it” in the discipline — one that he had dominated in his record run of Tour titles from 1999 to 2005.

But he rode aggressively Saturday, only slowing at one point to take a tight turn — a sign that above all he wanted to avoid a crash that could damage or derail his hopes for an eighth Tour victory.

“I gotta say I’m happy: Happy with the result, happy with the feelings, which is maybe more important than the result,” he said. “Everything from the start of the day through to the warmup just felt solid.

“If you would have told me this morning: ‘Hey, sign up for fifth (sic) and put time on your rivals,’ I would have signed with both hands.”

Riders set off one by one down the starter’s ramp for the race against the clock. Contador went last — right after Cancellara and Armstrong.

They took a looping course over and back across the Meuse River that cuts through Europe’s largest port town, scaling three bridges including the distinctive Erasmus suspension bridge.

Fairly persistent rain left the roads shiny-wet, and bikes sizzled and spit as they cut through the water. Large crowds braved the wet weather under colorful ponchos along

Defending champion Serena Williams reacts as she wins a point from Vera Zonareva, during the women’s singles final at Wimbledon on Saturday.

American takes women’s doubles title at Wimbledon WIMBLEDON, England — Vania King of the United States and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan never had set foot inside Centre Court, let alone played there, before the Wimbledon women’s doubles final Saturday.

So the entire experience was a thrill, topped by becoming the fifth unseeded team to win the championship. King and Shvedova beat singles runner-up Vera Zvonareva and Elena Vesnina of Russia 7-6 (6), 6-2.

“I’m sure for both of us, it really hasn’t gotten in our heads that we just won Wimbledon,” said King, who is from California and now lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “But maybe tomorrow or maybe next week. So, yeah, I think, I mean, right now, I don’t know what to say.”

Apparently, he watched the court enough, as evidenced by the nine aces Serena Williams hit Saturday, giving her a record 89 aces for the tournament, 17 more than she

smacked last year. Williams broke Zvonareva three times, yet never faced break point herself.

“I definitely think my serve has so far done well,” said Williams, who said she had planned to prepare for the final by relaxing and watching “Desperate Housewives.”

With five victories in six meetings with Zvonareva, she had little reason for concern.

But while Zvonareva had secured her first Grand Slam final appearance, her status as the No. 21 seed was somewhat misleading.

As recently as Feb. 2009, Zvonareva had reached a top five world ranking, and despite not employing a full-time coach, she beat several seeded players in this tournament, including Yanina Wickmayer (15), Jelena Jankovic (4) and Kim Clijsters (8) en route to the semifinals.

Zvonareva will return to the top 10 this week, at No. 9, which offered little in way of consolation Saturday afternoon.

“Maybe I was not able to show my best today,” she said. “Serena just didn’t allow me to show my best. She was playing really well.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Rose builds four shot-lead on PGA Tour Englishman will try to close with a win after losing a late advantage in last week’s event The Associated Press NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Justin Rose asked himself some tough, honest questions last week after he blew a three-shot lead in the final round. He hopes to find the right answers in the AT&T National.

With some big par saves in the middle of his round and one last birdie toward the end, Rose shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to build a four-shot lead over Carl Pettersson (65) and Charlie Wi (70) going into the final round at tough Aronimink Golf Club.

That’s one shot more than the lead he blew last week in the Travelers Championship, a bad day that Rose is determined not to turn into a bad memory.

“If you’re sitting at the top of the leaderboard, it seems like it’s yours to lose,” Rose said. “That’s why a golf tournament is 72 holes.

The lead really doesn’t mean much until you close it out. I just know that tomorrow I have a great opportunity again, but I’m more excited about the opportunity of putting into play the lessons I’ve learned in Hartford than actually going out and winning the golf tournament.”

Tiger Woods only gets into contention in the majors these days.

In his final tournament before the British Open, he again is out of the mix on a Sunday. Woods recovered from an atrocious start with an even-par 70, putting him 13 shots behind.

This will be his seventh tournament without a victory on the PGA Tour, his longest drought since he went 16 straight tournaments in 2004 when he was going

Justin Rose, of England, hits out of a bunker on the 16th hole during the third round of the AT&T National in Newtown Square, Pa., on Saturday. Rose leads the tournament. through a swing change. The only good news for the tournament is that the massive crowd that followed him around in the morning did not leave Aronimink.

They still were treated to some good golf.

It was the sixth time in his last eight rounds that Rose was atop the leaderboard. Now he gets to try something new. Despite his great run over the last month, Rose has never won a PGA Tour event when leading after 54 holes.

The test figures to come as much from Aronimink as the players behind him.

“It’s tougher to go low around here,” said Rose, one of only two players to have broken par all three rounds. “It’s easier to go

higher. It’s an interesting test. But it suits good golf. It’s tough to find the birdies. I’ve just got to keep playing solid.”

Rose was at 10-under 200, the only player to reach double digits under par this week on one of the toughest PGA Tour tracks this year.

Wi was one shot behind until taking four shots from just inside 25 feet on the 14th, the last three putts from 6 feet.

“This is course is not like last week where you have to make tons of birdies,” Wi said. “You could be 1 or 2 over, or you could be 2 or 3 under. That changes the momentum, so we’ll see how it goes tomorrow. I know 1 or 2 under sounds really easy, but this

golf course is definitely not easy.”

Jeff Overton, who has three straight rounds in the 60s, birdied the 18th hole for a 69 and was at 5-under 205. Ryan Moore (69) and Jason Day of Australia (72) were another shot behind.

Also on Saturday: Choi holes ace, still leads SYLVANIA, Ohio — Na Yeon Choi had a hole-in-one and shot a 3-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead over Christina Kim in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic.

Choi, a two-time LPGA Tour winner, aced the eighth hole, dunking a 9-iron directly into the cup on the 131-yard hole.

Kim made two late birdies for a 67. Katherine Hull (65), Kristin McPherson (67) and Inbee Park (70) were 10 under, four shots behind Choi at Highland Meadows.

Cook fires 66 to move in front BLAINVILLE, Quebec — John Cook shot his second straight 6under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Russ Cochran in the inaugural Montreal Championship.

The 52-year-old Cook, a fourtime winner on the Champions Tour after winning 11 times on the PGA Tour, eagled the par-5 seventh hole and had four birdies in his bogey-free round at Fontainebleu Golf Club. Cochran followed his opening 65 with a 68.

Fred Couples (66) was three strokes back at 9 under along with Corey Pavin (67), Craig Stadler (65), D.A. Weibring (63), David Frost (68), Larry Mize (68), Peter Senior (68) and James Mason (69). Weibring broke the course record.

Defending champ leads French VERSAILLES, France — Defending champion Martin Kaymer shot an even-par 71 to take a one-shot lead after the third round of the French Open. The German finished at 9-under 204, a stroke ahead of Spain’s Alejandro Canizares (73) and England’s Steve Webster (70).

Fabian Cancellara strains to win the Tour de France’s prologue, an individual time trial in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Saturday.

Armstrong dismisses latest claims by Landis ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — Lance Armstrong says he is too busy to pay attention to the latest allegations by former teammate Floyd Landis that he has engaged in doping during his career.

Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, gave the Wall Street Journal additional details about his use of banned doping products in a story published Saturday and again accused Armstrong and his teammates of receiving blood transfusions during the 2004 Tour.

In a statement sent to The Associated Press through his manager, seven-time Tour de France winner Armstrong described Landis’ claims as “a carton of sour milk: once you take the first sip, you don’t have to drink the rest to know it has all gone bad.”

Landis told the newspaper that some of the bikes provided to Armstrong’s team were sold in order to help the U.S. Postal team fund his doping program.

“Today’s Wall Street Journal article is full of false accusations and more of the same old news from Floyd Landis, a person with zero credibility and an established pattern of recanting tomorrow what he swears to today,” Armstrong said.

— The Associated Press

the route.

Contador, who is gunning for a third Tour victory, said he was happy with his prologue by gaining time on most of his major rivals — if not Armstrong.

The Spaniard acknowledged that he “failed to catch the rhythm that I like,” but added, “It’s better to lose a few seconds than to risk a fall.”

He played down his deficit to Armstrong as “minor” in the overall race.

The only other time trial this year is a 32-mile jaunt across southwestern France in Stage 19 — on the eve of the finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris on July 25.

Rays 8, Twins 6 MINNEAPOLIS — Matt Joyce’s pinch-hit grand slam capped a seven-run eighth inning, rallying Tampa Bay to victory over Minnesota and spoiling a big day for Twins slugger Jim Thome.

Thome homered twice to move past Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew into 10th place on the career list.

Francisco Liriano struck out 10 and allowed just one run in seven innings, but Minnesota’s normally reliable bullpen couldn’t hold a 4-1 lead in the eighth.

Strasburg battled early wildness, issuing three walks while throwing 37 pitches in the first inning. He allowed two runs and four hits in five innings, striking out five.

Carpenter (9-2) failed to retire any of the four batters he faced in the fourth. He was charged with eight runs — seven earned — in his shortest outing since April 14, 2009, when he lasted three innings at Arizona before injuring a side muscle that landed him on the disabled list.

ATLANTA — Tommy Hanson did not give up an earned run in his recovery from back-to-back ugly losses and Atlanta moved a season-best 15 games over .500 by beating Florida.

Hanson (8-5) allowed five hits and an unearned run with eight strikeouts and two walks in 6 2⁄3 innings. The second-year right-hander’s return to form came after he yielded a combined 15 runs in two straight losses while failing to complete the fourth inning in both starts.

Cubs 3, Reds 1 CHICAGO — Randy Wells took a no-hitter into the seventh inning to end his long losing streak and Geovany Soto hit a two-run double as Chicago beat Cincinnati despite stranding 17 runners. Wells’ no-hit bid was broken up by Chris Heisey’s leadoff single in the seventh. The right-hander escaped a jam with the help of a baserunning blunder by Heisey, and Chicago won for the fifth time in 15 games.

Dix edges Gay in 200 meters at Harvick takes top spot in wild race at Daytona Prefontaine Classic in Eugene

By Jenna Fryer

The Associated Press

By Anne M. Peterson The Asso cia ted Press

EUGENE— Walter Dix spoiled Tyson Gay’s return.

Dix won the 200 meters at the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday in 19.72 seconds, edging Gay by 0.04 seconds.

Gay has not competed since May because of a hamstring injury. The Prefontaine, which did not include a men’s 100, was a first step toward challenging Jamaican Usain Bolt’s dominance in the sprints.

“Yeah, it’s not bad for a first race,” Gay said.

Bolt, the world-record holder in the 100 and 200, did not compete at Saturday’s meet, part of the elite IAAF Diamond League series.

Dix was coming off a victory in the 100 last week in the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, where he finished second to Walter Spearmon in the 200.

Earlier this year Dix ran the 200 in 19.86 seconds at a Diamond League meet in Rome.

“Glad I got the competition against Tyson and came out victorious,” Dix said.

Gay last ran in May in Manchester, England, when he put up a 19.41 in a straight-track 200.

His effort was a record on the straight track, but it is not recognized as an official world mark because track and field’s governing body only recognizes the 200 run around a curve.

Gay swept the 100 and 200 at the 2007 world championships and owns the American record in the 100, but in recent years he’s been dogged by injuries and surpassed by Bolt.

Gay has long maintained that he can better Bolt. Both sprint-

Right now, a date for a possible showdown is uncertain.

Gay said he still had a long way to go.

“Basically I came away with no injures,” he said.

American Ryan Bailey finished third in the 200 in 20.17.

The Pre, as it is known, is in its 36th year and first as part of the Diamond League, a series of 14 meets worldwide. The event at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field is named after distance runner Steve Prefontaine, an Olympian killed in a 1977 car accident at 24.

Kenyan Asbel Kiprop won the Pre’s signature Bowerman Mile in 3 minutes, 49.75 seconds. The race is named after legendary Oregon coach Bill Bowerman.

But the highlight of the race was the surprising fifth-place finish by Oregon’s Andrew Wheating, running on his home track. Wheating, an Olympian in Beijing, leapt when his finish of 3:51.74 was announced to the cheering sellout crowd of 12,834.

The mark shattered the Ducks’ all-time record in the mile, 3:53.00, set by Joaquim Cruz in 1984.

“I think I can run with the big dogs!” Wheating exclaimed.

Bernard Lagat, coming off

a victory in the 5,000 in Des Moines, finished a disappointing ninth in 3:54.46.

Australian Ryan Gregson won the International Mile competition in 3:53.20 seconds. Oregon’s A.J. Acosta ran a personal best 3:53.76 on his home track.

Olympian Allyson Felix won the 400 in 50.27. While her specialty is the 200, Felix is experimenting with the longer distance and has said she could double in the 2012 Olympics.

“I’m coming off of speedwork so I’m really pleased with that. I need to do my speed endurance work to put it all together,” she said.

David Oliver won the men’s 110 hurdles in 12.90 seconds, matching the American record set by Dominique Arnold in Lausanne in 2006.

Olympic gold medal-winner Tirunesh Dibaba of Ethiopia ran the 5,000 in a new meet record 14:34.08, well in front of American Shalane Flanagan in 14:49.08. Dibaba won both the 5,000 and 10,000 in Beijing.

On the men’s side, Ethiopian Tariku Bekele won in 12:58.93.

Abubaker Kaki Khamis of Sudan won the men’s 1,000 in 2:13.62, a meet record and personal best. Local favorite Nick Symmonds of the Oregon Track Club finished third in the event behind Kenyan Boaz Lalang.

Jamaican Veronica CampbellBrown won the women’s 100 in 10.78 seconds, a personal best and the top time in the world this year. She also surpassed the meet record of 10.84 set by Torri Edwards in 2008.

Tariku Bekele of Ethiopia ran the men’s 5,000 in 12:58.93, best ever on American soil and new Pre best.

WORLD CUP SOCCER

Germany routs Argentina to reach semis The Associated Press CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Don’t mess with Germany, on or off the field.

Miroslav Klose scored twice to move into a tie for second on the all-time World Cup scoring list, and Germany backed up its pregame trash talk with an emphatic 4-0 rout of Argentina in the quarterfinals Saturday. The dominant display — along with Germany’s two other four-goal games — should demand the attention of everyone still playing in South Africa.

“It was absolute class,” Germany coach Joachim Loew said.

Hard to argue with that.

Argentina had been one of the tournament’s darlings, with coach Diego Maradona’s every move causing a stir and superstar Lionel Messi showing you don’t need to score to be sublime.

The Argentines rolled into the quarterfinals as one of only two teams to win all its games — the Netherlands was the other — and had been so powerful they never trailed.

But Germany overwhelmed the Argentines, and shut down Messi in the process. The reigning FIFA world player of the year leaves South Africa without a goal.

Germany will play Spain in the semifinals Wednesday in Durban. This will be Germany’s third straight trip to the semis and its 12th overall — nobody has more. But the three-time champions haven’t won a title since 1990.

Klose, making his 100th appearance for Germany, was simply masterful in the second half. With Germany clinging to a 1-0 lead and unable to get that all-important insurance goal despite several chances in the first half, Klose showed the skill that’s made him one of

FIFA bans Uruguay’s Suarez one match JOHANNESBURG — FIFA has suspended Uruguay forward Luis Suarez for one match for his deliberate handball to deny Ghana the winning goal in the teams’ World Cup quarterfinal match.

FIFA’s disciplinary committee ruled Saturday that Suarez was guilty of “denying the opposite team a clear goal-scoring opportunity” as it imposed the one-match suspension.

The penalty means Suarez will be out when Uruguay meets the Netherlands in the semifinals on Tuesday, but would be available for the final if his team advances.

After Suarez’s goal-line handball in the last minute of extra time at Soccer City on Friday, Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan missed the ensuing penalty kick and time ran out with the score tied at 1-1. Uruguay won the penalty shootout that followed, 4-2, to advance.

the most prolific players in German history.

In the 68th minute, Lukas Podolski crossed the ball from just beyond the box, slicing it between Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero and defender Nicolas Burdisso. Klose got control of the ball in front of the goal and effortlessly tapped it in for a 2-0 lead.

And Klose wasn’t done. In the last minute of regulation, he volleyed in a cross from Mesut Oezil from no more than 10 yards, then broke out his trademark somersault.

Also on Saturday:

S p a in. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 Paraguay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 JOHANNESBURG — Spain found just enough of the beautiful game — and a touch of good luck — to advance to the World Cup semifinals, in a win over Paraguay.

David Villa took the tournament scoring lead with his fifth goal, which banked in off both posts in the 83rd minute. The goal finished off a brilliant, three-way passing combination that typifies the way the European champions like to play. It sent Spain into the World Cup’s final four for the first time in 60 years.

A somewhat subdued match suddenly became chaotic in a two-minute span of the second half. Gerard Pique pulled down Paraguay’s Oscar Cardozo in the penalty area on a corner kick, earning a yellow card and giving Cardozo a penalty kick. With the vuvuzelas reaching a crescendo, the striker who ended his team’s shootout win over Japan was denied brilliantly this time by Iker Casillas, who dived left to block Cardozo’s low kick.

Seconds later, Villa broke free behind the defense and was hauled down by Antolin Alcoraz, who drew a yellow card. Xabi Alonso went to the penalty spot and sent a wicked drive into the net.

Again, the stadium rocked, but referee Carlos Batres of Guatemala waved off the goal, saying a Spain player entered the area too soon. Given a second chance, keeper Justo Villar guessed correctly, diving left to stop the penalty kick. He also knocked the rebound away from Cesc Fabregas before defender Paulo Da Silva made a leg save at the goal line on another shot by Sergio Ramos.

Nowitzki’s adviser: Dirk staying in Dallas LeBron wraps up meetings with his potential suitors The Associated Press DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki is sticking with the Dallas Mavericks.

Next question: Will he and Jason Kidd be able to lure anyone to join them?

Nowitzki’s adviser, Holger Geschwindner, told The Associated Press late Saturday night that Nowitzki and Mavs owner Mark Cuban have agreed “to get it done.” Teams and free agents can strike deals at any time, but can’t sign them until Thursday.

According to a person familiar with negotiations, the deal is for more than $80 million over four years, with a no-trade clause.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the NBA’s moratorium until Thursday. Team officials couldn’t comment because of that same rule.

NBA “I think it’s a great deal,” Geschwindner said. “We’re pumped.”

The deal was first reported by ESPN. The 2007 NBA MVP has spent his entire 12-year career in Dallas. He is the franchise’s career scoring and rebounding leader and has led the Mavs to 10 straight 50-win seasons.

But they haven’t won a championship. And they’ve won only a single playoff series since blowing a 2-0 lead in the 2006 NBA finals.

At 32, Nowitzki feels he can remain at an elite level for several more years, and Cuban certainly agrees. He’s put together a roster in win-now mode, and will look to make some major upgrades this summer.

Nowitzki and Kidd could serve as great recruiters.

Although Dallas lacks the salary cap room to sign the big names, the club has all sorts of desirable pieces piled up to make sign-and-

trade deals. Nowitzki helped free up some money by not pushing for his maximum deal, which would’ve been $96 million.

In other free-agency news, after three days being romanced by six NBA teams, a few billionaires, coaches, executives, hip hop’s biggest star, and fixating the sports world on his every move, LeBron James got behind the wheel of his customized car and drove home.

Only he knows where he’s going next.

James concluded his personal free-agent summit on Saturday by hearing presentations from the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose pitch focused on his familiarity with their franchise and tickled his sense of humor, and the Chicago Bulls, the last team and the one believed to have the best chance of stealing him from Ohio.

The Cavs came away from their 90-minute sit down with a renewed confidence that James will re-sign with them.

“It went very well,” said a person with knowledge of Cleveland’s visit.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kevin Harvick continued his season of resurgence by leading a strong Richard Childress Racing contingent to a victory Saturday night at Daytona International Speedway.

The three RCR cars were the class of the field in a wild night of racing: There were a record 18 leaders, 47 lead changes, a 20-car accident and numerous angry drivers when it was over.

But Harvick wasn’t one of them. The Sprint Cup points leader grabbed his second win of the season, and second of his career at Daytona. He also won the 2007 Daytona 500 and has eight top-10 finishes in 19 starts at the track.

“This has been a great place for us,” Harvick said. “Daytona has been one of those magical places for us ever since we started coming here.”

Harvick and his RCR teammates, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Burton, were poised to run away with the race before several late cautions interfered with a potential Chevrolet sweep.

A three-car accident moments before Bowyer took the white flag set up NASCAR’s version of overtime, and Bowyer and Harvick had to restart side-by-side for the final twolap sprint. Harvick wasted no time sliding into the lead, while Bowyer got little help from behind as Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon swapped spots on the restart.

It left Bowyer all alone, and he slipped back into traffic and ultimately spun off the track.

Harvick had clear sailing to the checkered flag.

“That really wasn’t the situation that we wanted to be in,” said Harvick, also the winner at Talladega in April. “I wanted to be behind him and be able to push him because it was looking pretty good for us, then that

caution came out and we had to split up because of the doublefile restarts. I helped him as much as I could, then we got split up and (Kahne and Gordon) split (Bowyer) and then that was it.”

Kahne was second in a Ford, followed by Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Burton in Chevrolets.

“If you come home with a top five at a restrictor-plate race, you ought to skip all the way home,” Burton said.

Earnhardt, who wasn’t good most of the race, seemingly lucked into the top-five finish but it was enough to move him into eligibility for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

He’s 11th in the standings.

The start of the race was delayed almost 90 minutes by rain, and a 19-car accident with 12 laps to go stopped the action another 20 minutes.

Kyle Busch had a wild night: a loose wheel early in the race forced him to give up the lead, and after driving his way back to the front, contact with Juan Pablo Montoya while leading ended his night. Mark Martin had to be pulled from fire by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson’s crew members, and AJ Allmendinger had a heated conversation with boss Richard Petty after he wrecked out of the race.

Then there was Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch, who exchanged words after the finish but the topic was drowned out by the booming post-race fireworks.

It was all just par for the course, it seemed, at Daytona.

“I’m starting to get used to the fact that every race we go to is basically bumper cars at 190 mph,” Gordon said. “When it comes down to the end, you pretty much know that it’s not going to end like that, that you’re going to have cautions and double-file restarts. It’s just hold on tight.”

LOCAL BASEBALL

Bend tops Sacramento in nonleague contest From wire reports Evan Busby had two doubles and a couple of runs, Tyler Smith went two for four with two RBIs, and the Bend Elks beat the Sacramento Vipers 6-5 in a nonleague baseball game at Bend’s Vince Genna Stadium on Saturday night.

The West Coast League’s Elks started hot after spotting the Vipers a 1-0 lead in the first inning, scoring five runs in the first two frames. Sacramento got back into the game later, but the Elks got an important insurance run in the eighth inning before the Vipers scored once in the ninth for the final result.

At the plate for the Elks, Garrett Queen, a Crook County High product, and Riley Tompkins had the only other hits for the Elks. Steven Halcomb had two RBI groundouts in helping

the Elks pick up the win despite having just six hits and committing four errors in the game.

Jordan Remer got the start for the Elks but labored throughout the outing, going four innings, giving up three runs and walking five. But Jake Waardenburg did well in relief, going the next three innings, giving up just one unearned run and striking out three.

Graham Rodriguez threw a scoreless eighth and Blaine Jones held off the Vipers’ rally in the ninth.

The three-game series concludes tonight at 6:35. Fans will be allowed in the outfield grass after the game to watch fireworks.

Nick Nguyen, of Dallas, Texas, spins his board around while competing in the expert bodyboard final during the Wave Loch Flow Tour event in Sunriver on Saturday.

Nguyen won the event.

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Wave Continued from D1 More than 30 competitors from around the nation were at Mavericks, taking part in the third annual Waveloch Flow Tour in Sunriver. Participants representing Florida, Texas, Utah, California, Washington and Oregon surfed the artificial wave at Mavericks’ indoor facility.

“Everyone was stepping it up,” said Sean Silveira, 21, of Orlando, Fla., shortly after winning Saturday’s expert men’s flowboard competition. “Everybody’s bringing their ‘A’-game nowadays. It’s getting a little bit tougher, but I’m hangin’ in there and enjoy the year.”

Silveira also won the 2009 expert flowboard competition at Mavericks, and on Saturday, took second in the expert bodyboard event.

Noted improvement by all competitors, particularly locals, was an observation that echoed among spectators and organizers.

“What would have gotten you in

the finals last year would NOT get you in this year,” said Granone, his voice thundering above the splashing and cheering throughout the airy and humid pool area.

“The level of progression is certainly amazing. I’m inspired to see these riders are adapting some of the high-technical skateboarding maneuvers and integrating them into their flowboarding routine.”

“Our team — the Mavericks team — has had a fantastic showing this year,” said Jerry Cunningham, co-owner of Mavericks.

“Every one of our riders qualified for finals, and they all look good.”

About 10 local flowriders, three of which were in the expert division, represented Mavericks on Saturday. Josh Dodson, of Bend, swirled and turned 180-shove-its and kickflips on his board like he was skating on concrete. Most good flowriders have skating roots and integrate a series of tricks that can be seen at skateboarding parks around the nation.

“It opens up our minds to their style of riding,” noted Dodson — who was celebrating his 20th birthday on Saturday — of the

expert riders from outside of Central Oregon. “It’s not really on TV, so everything we have done we made up ourselves from other skateboarding tricks.”

Mavericks offered up $2,500 in prize money to expert podium finishers Saturday.

“Last year was the first year I started traveling because it (the Flow Tour competition) is for money now,” said returning champion Nick Nguyen (pronounced “win”), 23, of Dallas, Texas. Nguyen won the men’s expert bodyboarding division on Sunday, taking home $900 in cash between the bodyboarding and flowboarding events. “It (the prize purse) allows people to be able to travel.”

In the Flow Tour, participants enter two events: the flowboard and the bodyboard. Categories are divided by age, except for the expert division, which includes all ages.

In the junior category, Cameron Lodge, 12, of Gulf Shores, Ala., won the junior men (17 and younger) bodyboard event.

“You gotta have heart to flow-

ride,” said Lodge. “And if you don’t love it, you basically can’t do it.”

Lodge, who just started competing in March, plans to hit several stops on the Waveloch Flow Tour with his parents and older sister.

His next competition is coming up July 11 in San Diego, Calif.

The Flow Tour offers 17 competitions from April to August.

Experts like Silveira and Nyguyen travel the entire summer to compete with the intention of qualifying for the International FlowRiding League of the World Championships in November, held in Singapore.

“In the summertime I’m traveling to all the stops on the Flow Tour,” said Silveira, “maybe visiting 13 or 14 states in one summer.”

“This sport is so small and it feels like it should be a lot bigger,” noted Nguyen. “I guess it’s just baby steps. … The sport has grown a lot in the past five years.”

Continued from D1 For the better part of the last decade it’s been worth investing a few hours in front of the TV because Lance Armstrong was always crushing his rivals.

Armstrong is riding again in what he says will be his last Tour de France, but it’s just not the same anymore. There’s still a curiosity factor, but Armstrong is almost 39 and so clouded by accusations from a former teammate that he used performance-enhancing drugs that it’s hard to root for him anymore.

That probably makes the French happy, because they didn’t seem to have a lot of love for the American rider.

Or maybe they just didn’t like the fact he won seven of their races.

What we’re left with is defending champion Alberto Contador of Spain and a group of riders no one outside of the insular world of cycling can name. Makes for more of a wide-open race, but the only reason most will tune in now is for a glimpse of the scenery.

The World Cup is wide open, too, with the finalists from 2006 exiting quickly and Brazil getting upset in the quarterfinals in its bid for a sixth title.

To show how much the pitch has been leveled in world soccer, Ghana came within one agonizingly missed penalty kick from becoming the first African nation ever to advance to the semifinals.

That’s not necessarily bad.

Brazil isn’t entitled to be in the final as it has been in three out of the last four World Cups, and new blood can be exciting.

But sports fans love dynasties, as shown by the success on opposite sides of the pond of both Manchester United and the New York Yankees. They love superstars, too, which is why everyone seems to be talking about LeBron James when the NBA season is still months away.

Perhaps we’ve gotten spoiled

by it all. Bloated by steroids or not, after all, it was the sluggers who hit one monster home run after another that brought us back to baseball after those in the game had done everything they could to kill our interest.

They’re all gone now, and baseball is better for it. But the sport is so desperate for superstars now that Stephen Strasburg was anointed as one after taking the mound for the first time for the Washington Nationals.

Woods was anointed early, too, and every tournament seemed just to add to his legend. We came to expect him to win every time he teed it up and, when he’s slumping like he is now, a lot of fun goes out of whatever tournament he’s playing in.

You would have had to get up awfully early Saturday morning to see Woods play in the tournament he created to make money for his charitable foundation. The mystique is gone, at least for now, and the cheers are merely a reflex by fans who remember times past.

Federer, whose record over the last eight years may be even more remarkable than that of Woods, seems equally vulnerable these days. When he was unceremoniously bounced from Wimbledon this week for second straight quarterfinal loss in a major, tennis fans seemed at a loss to deal with what was left.

Yes, Serena Williams did her part to keep up the family dynasty Saturday at Wimbledon by winning the women’s singles. She and sister Venus have won nine of the last 11 titles, a feat that will probably never be matched.

At some point, too, they will go.

New stars will emerge, as they will in every other sport.

At the moment, though, they seem to be in increasingly short supply.

Got a D.U.I.I. ?

Tradition Continued from D1 Central Oregon was an untested market for a major professional golf tournament and among the smallest population centers ever to host a Champions Tour event.

But Jeld-Wen has no regrets about the decision to relocate the tournament here, Hueffner says.

Sunriver — and its myriad outdoor activities and dry, warm August weather — has made for an ideal place for Jeld-Wen to host clients. And the size of the Bend-Sunriver area has not hurt either, Hueffner says.

“We knew it was going to be a home run for our customers that we bring and the hospitality side of the event, because of the destination there in Central Oregon,” Hueffner says.

“The ability to have evening events so close to where all the pros are staying that they walk on over and show up and they are at your event, it just feels like everybody is one big family. The thought of doing an event any other way for us just changes the whole dynamic.”

Like most of the officials who organize The Tradition, Hueffner is excited about this year’s tournament.

His enthusiasm stems from the scene around the 18th green at Crosswater last August, when Mike Reid beat John Cook in a sudden-death playoff for the 2009 Tradition title.

After four days of near-perfect weather, a relatively large and vocal crowd enveloped the green to watch the final drama unfold.

The Tradition has always boasted a big prize purse and a high-profile field. But atmosphere had been lacking in its four years in Portland and in The Tradition’s first two years at Crosswater.

Last year, though, The Tradition FELT like a major championship during the tournament’s final moments.

“That hasn’t always been the case for this event,” Hueffner says. “It’s a major, but it hasn’t always had the feel, necessarily, of a major.

“The crowd and the atmosphere, we’ve got it now. And that’s nice.”

Golf has been crucial in making Jeld-Wen a household name, Hueffner says.

And with the likely addition this year of Champions Tour rookies such as Fred Couples, Paul Azinger, Corey Pavin, Ken-

Want to save hundreds of dollars?

ny Perry and Mark Calcavecchia, as well as Tradition firsttimer Nick Price, tournament organizers have reason to be hopeful that the 2010 Tradition will be just as good or better as in 2009.

So why not just ink a new deal to keep the tournament here, capitalize on the momentum, and keep Jeld-Wen’s name atop the leaderboards?

Like the famous political operative James Carville once said: “It’s the economy, stupid.”

Jeld-Wen has laid off dozens of employees since the recession hit, including 27 last year from the company’s Central Oregon golf properties, Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond and Brasada Ranch in Powell Butte.

“It’s tough for us, because the economy hit (Jeld-Wen) hard just like it’s hit everybody else,” Hueffner says. “We are smack dab in the middle of the construction industry.

“Everyone is faced with having to make tough decisions, look at things, and evaluate where you are at. That’s why it is so difficult, because we love this event. And we have this event in a really good spot right now.”

The tournament itself has faced some challenges.

Sponsorships, crucial to the health of any not-for-profit golf tournament such as The Tradition, have not been an easy sell in Central Oregon. And the struggling economy has not helped, Hueffner says.

“Moving down to Central Oregon (from the Portland area), the tournament did take a little

hit in sponsorships because there were some people that the market just didn’t work the same for them as it did (in Portland),” Hueffner says.

Still, Hueffner is bullish about the future of Central Oregon, if the economy improves.

Sponsorships, he says, have been the only real problem the tournament has faced since it moved to Central Oregon.

“If we hadn’t have had that blip in the economy,” Hueffner says, “I even think our sponsorships would be above anything that we’ve had in the past. I really do.”

For now, Jeld-Wen has yet to decide its future with The Tradition.

If Central Oregon golf fans are fortunate, Jeld-Wen and the PGA Tour will find a way for the Klamath Falls company to stay involved with the tournament.

Because there is one more thing that appears certain: JeldWen is like many golf enthusiasts here in that it would prefer The Tradition stay in Central Oregon.

“We just can’t afford to be spending the type of money that we are spending right now, all in,” Hueffner says. “We’ve been in those discussions (with the PGA Tour) to see how we can still be involved in this thing.

“If everything was the same and all the contracts were up right now, I’ll tell you the one thing that we wouldn’t be looking to get rid of would be the Jeld-Wen Tradition. It’s just a great thing for Oregon, and it’s been a great thing for us.”

JOHN COSTA

Timely book on the U.S. high court

F

or a number of reasons, the Fourth of July is my favorite holiday.

After all, if we didn’t have the nation’s birth celebrated today, many other secular holidays wouldn’t have a lot of meaning.

Once the lawn mowing is done, it’s three days of my favorite activities: golf with friends, visit with my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, back-deck barbecue, and reading.

That’s hard to beat.

The first three are self explanatory.

The last requires a few words.

I am now reading “Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt vs. The Supreme Court” by Jeff Shesol.

It is a superb book, and timely given the ongoing national struggle over justices of the court, an economic slump of epic proportions and a president struggling to cope with very hard times.

The fights over Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito seem like ancient history, though both have served fewer than five years.

Since then, President Obama has appointed Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has been confirmed and now serves on the court, and nominated Elena Kagan, who is now going through the confirmation process.

In all likelihood, she will be confirmed.

It was interesting that this week, in testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, she had, according to The New York Times, this exchange with Sen. Tom Coburn, Republican of Oklahoma.

He asked, according to the Times, “what should happen if Congress enacted a law requiring Americans ‘to eat three vegetables and three fruits every day.’”

“It sounds like a dumb law,” Kagan said.

But she would not commit to striking it down, the Times reported.

“I think that courts would be wrong to strike down laws that they think are senseless, just because they’re senseless,” the Times reported.

In this, Kagan is articulating a view that is a fundamental part of Shesol’s book, which is centered on Roosevelt’s frustration with the court as it struck down major elements of the New Deal, and his attempt to pack the court with justices who would agree with him on what was sensible and senseless.

It is a page-turner of the first order.

Of course, in the end the court-packing plan was defeated in Congress, which dealt Roosevelt the most significant political defeat of his four-term presidency.

What touched off this major historical rupture was Roosevelt’s frustration with justices who voted against his recovery plans. What doubly irritated FDR was that some of those justices — Louis Brandeis, Harlan Fiske Stone and Benjamin Cardozo — might have agreed with him on a policy basis, but voted against the enormous and loosely defined concentration of power in the executive branch on the basis of principle.

Reading about them in Shesol’s book is similar to listening to Kagan. Eight decades ago they argued that the Constitution did not prohibit stupidity nor political foolishness.

Those were, they thought, political questions best decided by the electoral process and worked through by elected leaders.

The justices believed they were there to protect and apply the Constitution, and that’s the core of the fight, because Roosevelt also thought he was advancing the broader meaning of a living Constitution.

Did the founders really mean to lay forever a “dead hand” on the development of the nation?

FDR and his supporters argued that the founders were not “doddering old men.”

They were revolutionaries who had spit in the eye of the most powerful empire on Earth and won, rejecting one established form of government and inventing another.

How could they possibly be seen as accomplishing all that and then freezing principles of governance for all time?

I’m not doing this book justice.

The personality profiles are fascinating, as are the legal arguments surrounding the great cases of the New Deal as well as Roosevelt and his powerful views coping with the Great Depression.

It’s a great book, all the more so because it has a familiar and present-day ring to it.

And on this Fourth, it reminds me of the powerful, ever-evolving history that is our legacy. And reassuringly, it recalls that we have been through tough times before and come out stronger on the other side.

Now, on to the granddaughter.

John Costa is editor-in-chief of The Bulletin.

The

triumphant decline of the

WASP

How the changing makeup of the Supreme Court tells of a new standard of socioeconomic power

By Noah Feldman • New York Times News Service CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Five years ago, the Supreme Court, like the United States, had a plurality of white Protestants. If Elena Kagan — whose confirmation hearings began this week — is confirmed, that number will be reduced to zero; the court will consist of six Catholics and three Jews.

COMME It is cause for celebration that no one much cares about the nominee’s religion. We are fortunate to have left behind the days when there was a so-called “Catholic seat” on the court, or when prominent Jews urged President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939 not to nominate Felix Frankfurter because they worried that having “too many” Jews on the court might fuel anti-Semitism.

But satisfaction with our national progress should not make us forget its authors: the very Protestant elite that founded and long dominated our nation’s institutions of higher education and government, including the Supreme Court. Unlike almost every other dominant ethnic, racial or religious group in world history, white Protestants have ceded their socioeconomic power by hewing voluntarily to the values of merit and inclusion, values now shared

broadly by Americans of different backgrounds. The decline of the Protestant elite is actually its greatest triumph.

Like any ethno-racial or religious group, the population of white Protestants is internally diverse. It would be foolish to conflate the deN T A R Y scendants of New England smallholders with the offspring of Scandinavian sod farmers in the Midwest, just as it would be a mistake to confuse the Milanese with the Sicilians, or the children of Havana doctors with the grandchildren of dirt farmers from Chiapas, Mexico.

So, when discussing the white elite that exercised such disproportionate power in American history, we are talking about a subgroup, mostly of English or Scots-Irish origin, whose ancestors came to this land in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Their forebears fought the American Revolution and wrote the Constitution, embedding in it a distinctive set of beliefs of Protestant origin, including inalienable rights and the separation of church and state.

See WASP / F5

Religion and the court If Elena Kagan is confirmed to be an associate justice on the Supreme Court, she will be one of three Jews serving on the bench, replacing John Paul Stevens, the last Protestant on the court. The six other justices are Catholic.

Religion in America The U.S. is predominantly a Christian nation, with 78 percent of the population professing a Christian faith in 2007. However, Protestants make up the majority of the American religious demographic.

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-chief Editor of Editorials

The Declaration of Independence I

n Congress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the

Civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.

They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.

We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

My Nickel’s Worth Cut government cost It is a well-publicized fact that our state government is facing a $2.5 billion deficit in the budget for the coming biennium. No one wants less government services, so laying off employees and cutting programs that citizens need and want is not the solution. The answer is that government, at all levels, needs to do what the private sector has already done — reduce its labor costs.

It is possible to reduce the cost of government services by controlling labor costs. A two-tier wage structure would allow those now employed to retain their current salaries while new employees could be paid at lower wages that are still sufficient to attract quality employees. New employees could be enrolled in defined contribution pension plans as opposed to defined benefit plans. The pay of existing employees could be frozen while we wait for them to retire and pension formulas could be changed in order to eliminate excessive overtime build up in the years before retirement. Current employees can be required to make significant contributions to their own health care costs.

I am not anti-government workers or anti-unions. But I believe that we all need to share in the financial and economic pain we are enduring. Essential service delivery can continue but much more effectively.

No county clinic A health clinic for Deschutes County government employees? Is there no end of ways our government can find to piddle away our tax money? This is a bogus idea. It would be just another sinkhole for money and it will assuredly increase our taxes. They will promise savings, and when that doesn’t happen, they will come to us for more money.

The government is broken, folks, and with ideas like this it will never be fixed. I encourage all taxpayers to protest this stupid idea and demand that the county find definitive and real ways to reduce our taxes, not find new ways to increase them.

Don’t ignore Crown Pacific The Bulletin’s June 9 editorial “Time will heal new forest” properly praises the new Gilchrist State Forest and the Gilchrist family for its stewardship of the land.

Your portrayal of Crown Pacific, however, ignored or mischaracterized Crown’s positive actions to ensure eco-

nomically and environmentally sustainable forests in Central Oregon.

Crown Pacific did not clear-cut the Gilchrist lands. Crown Pacific harvested the large timber while investing $10 million to retool the mill to process smaller trees and protect future jobs.

Crown Pacific planted the thousands of seedlings — the foundation of the new state forest. Crown Pacific conducted more thinning for forest health than all other timberland owners in Central Oregon combined. Crown Pacific also donated some of its land holdings to the Deschutes Basin Land Trust and traded its Tumalo Creek waterfront land to the U.S. Forest Service for future generations to enjoy.

Just as the Gilchrist family sold its lands in changing times, the state now has the responsibility to reimagine these lands. Now, like Crown Pacific before it, the state must balance stewardship and economics so, in the future, taxpayers will be satisfied with both their forest and their investment.

Seniors slighted First we are advised to keep active and stay involved. Then Mt. Bachelor takes away free skiing for skiers 70 years and older, and now the Deschutes County Fair is no longer having “Senior Day.” Talk about mixed messages! What’s a senior citizen to believe?

Tell us more Regarding the June 19 Bulletin article “A day of recognition for Oregon veterans,” the photo shows Jim Cate, a Marine who fought in World War II. The text has no information of his rank, where he fought, if he was wounded or if he was decorated. Bill Spencer had the same treatment. Sam Smith had some recognition with a story of when he was on a ship.

It seems to me that if three of our Central Oregon veterans were chosen to go to Washington, D.C., to receive recognition, that The Bulletin would at least recognize them properly here as well.

The result was a good picture but a lousy crammed article.

What to cut I read the June 10 headline “State to cut deep into Central Oregon services,” and it upset me. The article goes on to tell about the cuts to education, firefighters, seniors and law enforce-

ment. I think this demonstrates the liberal philosophy of Oregon’s state government. They plan to make cuts in services that benefit all of the state’s citizens, while there are no plans to cut any of the entitlement programs, most of which benefit a smaller cross section of Oregon taxpayers.

I believe, in the short term at least, any program that does not benefit at least 50 percent of the taxpayers should be abandoned. How about printing the driver’s test, and test manual, and all other state used documents to English only? How about ridding the state of the requirement for multilanguage staff? How about coming up with some programs to put people who are on subsistence programs back to work and create some taxpayers?

Let’s face it: This shortfall in tax revenue is here to stay, and the folks in Salem had better come up with plans to deal with it. Articles in The Bulletin have shown that experts believe that even when the economy rebounds, wages (income tax revenue) will remain stagnant for years.

Stiegler and beer A proud Democrat, I was pleased when the mail carrier brought me a flier from State Rep. Judy Stiegler noting her successful fight against higher beer taxes that threatened Bend business and jobs.

Heading out to dinner, my husband and I thought we’d raise a glass of brew in celebration. “So sorry,” said the manager. “Business has been off for awhile and our landlord can’t afford any more lease concessions. We’re closing after tonight. Oh and please be patient.

With taxes due on our gross sales even though we’re losing money, we’ve had to let some of our wait staff go.”

Twenty minutes later our waiter, an OSU-Cascades student, showed up looking frazzled. “Two beers and two specials, got it. I apologize if I seem out of it. I just heard I’m out of a job. And just when the state’s across-the-board spending cut is pushing up tuition … again. I don’t get it. Weren’t higher taxes on the wealthy supposed to prevent this? Why didn’t someone realize a lot fewer people are making that kind of money because of the recession?”

Forty minutes later our food and drinks finally showed up. Up went our glasses. Our toast was expanded to include Rep. Stiegler. After all, her incessant lobbying for Measures 66 and 67 made all of this possible. And she’s kept Bend brewing. Now that deserves a proud Democrat’s unwavering support.

O Bad actors listen for U.S. weakness B

ritish Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was ecstatic after the Munich Conference of 1938.

He bragged that he had coaxed Adolf Hitler into stopping further aggression after the Nazis gobbled up much of Czechoslovakia.

Arriving home, Chamberlain proudly displayed Hitler’s signature on the Munich Agreement, exclaiming to adoring crowds, “I believe it is peace for our time.… And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”

But after listening to Chamberlain’s nice nonsense, Hitler remarked to his generals about a week later, “Our enemies are little worms. I saw them at Munich.” War followed in about a year.

Sometimes deterrence against aggression is lost with just a few unfortunate words or a relatively minor gesture.

Secretary of State Dean Acheson gave a comprehensive address to the National Press Club in early 1950. Either intentionally or by accident, he mentioned that South Korea was beyond the American defense perimeter.

Communist North Korea, and later China, agreed. War broke out six months later.

Well before the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, and sent aid to communist rebels in Central America, President Jimmy Carter announced that America had lost its “inordinate fear of communism.”

In 1981, Britain, as a goodwill ges-

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON ture in the growing Falkland Islands dispute, promised to withdraw a tiny warship from the islands. But to the Argentine dictatorship, that reset-button diplomacy was seen as appeasement.

It convinced them that the United Kingdom was no longer the nation of Admiral Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Winston Churchill. So Argentina invaded the Falklands.

Why, after a horrendous war with Iran, would Saddam Hussein have risked another one with Kuwait? Perhaps because he believed that the United States would not stop him. That was a logical inference when American ambassador April Glaspie told him, “We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait.… The Kuwait issue is not associated with America.”

Saddam invaded a little over a week later.

These examples could be expanded and serve as warnings. In the last 18 months, the Obama administration has made a number of seemingly insignificant remarks and gestures — many well-intended and reasoned — that

might be interpreted as a new U.S. indifference to aggression.

Consider the number of apologies Obama has issued to various states that suggest we, not others, are the problem.

To Turkey, Obama said we had often been at fault, and added remorse for slavery and our treatment of Native Americans.

To Russia, he emphasized a need for an American diplomatic reset button.

To the Japanese, he touched on the brutal way America ended World War II. To the world at large, Obama apologized for Guantanamo Bay, the war on terror, and some activities of the CIA. To Latin America, he rued our past insensitive diplomacy.

To the G-20, he lamented America’s prior rude behavior.

To the Muslim world, he confessed to wrong policies and past mistakes.

To Europe, he apologized for our occasionally strained relations.

To the United Nations, he said he felt bad about America’s unilateral behavior.

In addition, Obama has bowed to Saudi autocrats and Chinese dictators. In morally equivalent fashion, an Obama subordinate brought up to human-rights violator China the new Arizona immigration law. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton suggested that we would be neutral in a new and growing Falklands Island dispute. And America has put Israel on notice that the old close

relationship is changing.

Turkey is growing increasingly antiAmerican. A newly aggressive Russia is beaming that we have caved on a number of contentious issues.

The Japanese are distancing themselves from America. British, French and German leaders are increasingly wary of the United States. The Mexican president criticizes Arizona from the White House lawn.

War is now more, not less, likely in the Middle East. In Latin America, Cuba, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Venezuela are as hostile to the U.S. as ever.

Brazil is now seeking to assert new authority contrary to U.S. policies.

The lesson?

Even little words and gestures still matter in high-stakes international relations. Bad actors look hard for even the smallest sign that they might get away with aggression without consequences.

A deferential and apologetic President Obama may think he is making those abroad like us — and he may be right in some cases. But if history is any guide, aggressive powers are paying close attention to these seemingly insignificant signs. Soon, they may turn their wild ideas into concrete aggression — once they convince themselves that America neither wants to nor is able to stop them.

Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

Obama has forgotten about employment I t’s getting harder and harder for most Americans, looking honestly at the state of the nation, to see the glass as half full. And that’s why the public opinion polls contain nothing but bad news for Barack Obama and the Democrats.

The oil gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the war in Afghanistan and, above all, the continuing epidemic of joblessness have pushed the nation into a funk.

All the crowing in the world about the administration’s legislative accomplishments — last year’s stimulus package, this year’s health care reform, etc. — is not enough to lift the gloom.

Obama and the Democrats have wasted the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity handed to them in the 2008 election.

They did not focus on jobs, jobs, jobs as their primary mission, and they did not call on Americans to join in a bold national effort (which would have required a great deal of shared sacrifice) to solve a wide range of very serious problems, from our overreliance on fossil fuels to the sorry state of public education to the need to rebuild the nation’s rotting infrastructure.

All of that could have been pulled together under the umbrella of job creation — short-term and long-term. In the immediate aftermath of Obama’s historic victory, and with the trauma of the economic collapse still upon us, it would have been very difficult for Republicans on Capitol Hill to stand in the way of a rebuild-America campaign aimed at putting millions of men and women back to work.

Obama had campaigned on the mantra of change, and that would have been the kind of change that working people

could have gotten behind. But it never happened. Job creation was the trump card in the hand held by Obama and the Democrats, but they never played it. And now we’re paying a fearful price.

Fifteen million Americans are unemployed, according to the official count, which wildly understates the reality.

Assuming no future economic setbacks and job creation at a rate of 200,000 or so a month, it would take more than a decade to get us back to where we were when the Great Recession began in December 2007. But we’re nowhere near that kind of sustained job growth. In May, a measly 41,000 private-sector jobs were created.

We are in deep, deep gumbo.

The Obama administration feels it should get a great deal of credit for its economic stimulus efforts, its health care initiative, its financial reform legislation, its vastly increased aid to education and so forth. And maybe if we were grading papers, there would be a fair number of decent marks to be handed out.

But Americans struggling in a down economy are worried about the survival of their families. There is a widespread feeling that only the rich and well-placed can count on Washington’s help, and that toxic sentiment is spreading like the oil stain in the gulf, with ominous implications for President Obama and his party.

It’s in this atmosphere that support for the president and his agenda is sinking like a stone.

Employment is the No. 1 issue for most ordinary Americans. Their anxiety on this front only grows as they watch teachers, firefighters and police officers lining up to walk the unemployment

plank as state and local governments wrestle with horrendous budget deficits.

By nearly 2 to 1, respondents to the most recent New York Times/CBS News poll said the United States is on the wrong track. Despite the yelping and destructive machinations of the deficit hawks, employment and the economy are by far the public’s biggest concern.

Obama is paying dearly for his tin ear on this topic. Fifty-four percent of respondents believed he does not have a clear plan for creating jobs. Only 45 percent approved of his overall handling of the economy, compared with 48 percent who disapproved.

It’s not too late for the president to turn

things around, but there is no indication that he has any plan or strategy for doing it. And the political environment right now, with confidence in the administration waning and budgetary fears unnecessarily heightened by the deficit hawks, is not good.

It would take an extraordinary exercise in leadership to rally the country behind a full-bore jobs-creation campaign — nothing short of large-scale nationbuilding on the home front. Maybe that’s impossible in the current environment.

But that’s what the country needs.

As AA shows, insight underlies lasting change

O

n Dec. 14, 1934, a failed stockbroker named Bill Wilson was struggling with alcoholism at a New York City detox center. It was his fourth stay at the center and nothing had worked. This time, he tried a remedy called the belladonna cure — infusions of a hallucinogenic drug made from a poisonous plant — and he consulted a friend named Ebby Thacher, who told him to give up drinking and give his life over to the service of God. Wilson was not a believer, but, later that night, at the end of his rope, he called out in his hospital room: “If there is a God, let Him show Himself! I am ready to do anything. Anything!”

As Wilson described it, a white light suffused his room and the presence of God appeared. “It seemed to me, in the mind’s eye, that I was on a mountain and that a wind not of air but of spirit was blowing,” he testified later. “And then it burst upon me that I was a free man.”

Wilson never touched alcohol again.

He went on to help found Alcoholics Anonymous, which, 75 years later, has 11,000 professional treatment centers, 55,000 meeting groups and some 1.2 million members.

The movement is the subject of a smart and comprehensive essay by Brendan Koerner in the July 2010 issue of Wired magazine. The article is noteworthy not only because of the light

DAVID BROOKS it sheds on what we’ve learned about addiction, but for what it says about changing behavior more generally.

Much of what we do in public policy is to try to get people to behave in their own long-term interests — to finish school, get married, avoid gangs, lose weight, save money. Because the soul is so complicated, much of what we do fails.

The first implication of Koerner’s essay is that we should get used to the idea that we will fail most of the time. Alcoholics Anonymous has stood the test of time. There are millions of people who fervently believed that its 12-step process saved their lives. Yet the majority, even a vast majority, of the people who enroll in the program do not succeed in it. People are idiosyncratic. There is no single program that successfully transforms most people most of the time.

The second implication is that we should get over the notion that we will someday crack the behavior code — that we will someday find a scientific meth-

od that will allow us to predict behavior and design reliable social programs. As Koerner notes, AA has been the subject of thousands of studies. Yet “no one has yet satisfactorily explained why some succeed in AA while others don’t, or even what percentage of alcoholics who try the steps will eventually become sober as a result.”

Each member of an AA group is distinct. Each group is distinct. Each moment is distinct. There is simply no way for social scientists to reduce this kind of complexity into equations and formula that can be replicated one place after another.

Nonetheless, we don’t have to be fatalistic about things. It is possible to design programs that will help some people some of the time. AA embodies some shrewd insights into human psychology.

In a culture that generally celebrates empowerment and self-esteem, AA begins with disempowerment. The goal is to get people to gain control over their lives, but it all begins with an act of surrender and an admission of weakness.

In a culture that thinks of itself as individualistic, AA relies on fellowship.

The general idea is that people aren’t really captains of their own ship. Successful members become deeply intertwined with one another — learning, sharing, suffering and mentoring one another.

Individual repair is a social effort.

In a world in which gurus try to carefully design and impose their ideas, Wilson surrendered control. He wrote down the famous steps and foundations, but AA allows each local group to form, adapt and innovate. There is less quality control. Some groups and leaders are great; some are terrible. But it also means that AA is decentralized, innovative and dynamic.

Alcoholics have a specific problem: They drink too much. But instead of addressing that problem with the psychic equivalent of a precision-guidance missile, Wilson set out to change people’s whole identities. He studied William James’ “The Varieties of Religious Experience.” He sought to arouse people’s spiritual aspirations rather than just appealing to rational cost-benefit analysis.

His group would help people achieve broad spiritual awakenings, and abstinence from alcohol would be a byproduct of that larger salvation.

In the business of changing lives, the straight path is rarely the best one. AA illustrates that even in an age of scientific advance, it is still ancient insights into human nature that work best. Wilson built a remarkable organization on a nighttime spiritual epiphany.

DAVID BRODER

Byrd called on senators to serve all the people WASHINGTON — he paradox of Robert Byrd’s life — and the reason his death was recognized by his Senate colleagues as so significant a milestone — is the balance he struck between the parochial and the profound.

On one hand, he was known as the “King of Pork,” and was immensely proud of the way he used his long years on the Appropriations Committee to funnel billions of federal funds into his home state of West Virginia. It never occurred to him to apologize for looking out for the home folks.

At the same time, this senator, a throwback to Lincoln in being largely self-educated, developed the fullest historical and philosophical appreciation of the separation-of-powers doctrine in the Constitution of anyone who served in government in the past century.

T

Impressive résumé In the series of speeches that turned into his multivolume history of the Senate, Byrd drew not only on the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and the Federalist Papers but the chronicles of ancient Rome. Everything he read — and he read almost everything — convinced him that in any republic, the role of the Senate is an essential counterbalance to the more populist instincts of the House and the inherent imperiousness of presidents.

But in an address he delivered in the Old Senate Chamber in September 1998 at the invitation of then-Majority Leader Trent Lott, Byrd warned that “partisan warfare” was eroding the ability of the Senate to fill its historic role.

As he said in that ceremonial talk, the force that empowered the Senate to withstand the profound pressures dividing the two parties is that “on the great issues, the Senate has always been blessed with senators who were able to rise above party, and consider first and foremost the national interest.” Today they are missing.

In that speech 12 years ago, Byrd cited as an example the role of Sen. Howard Baker, a Republican who joined President Jimmy Carter in securing ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty.

What Byrd and other senators of his generation understood is that on a wide variety of routine issues, partisan calculations are always at play, but there is a category of questions that truly are different. And on those issues, senators are bound to consider the broad national interest.

That obligation falls especially on the Senate, as Byrd always pointed out, because it is — unlike the other part of Congress — not designed as a representative body, close to the people.

The senators are few in number — only two per state, no matter what its size.

They have longer tenure than the president, and three times as long as a House member. Their constituencies are broad and diverse. Everything contrives to give them a degree of independence, to exercise their best judgment on the national issues.

Sense of loss Today, unfortunately, on the big issues that ought to be beyond partisanship, acting in the national interest has almost vanished because the party leaders, unlike Byrd and Baker when they led their parties in the Senate, do not display that consciousness or evoke it in others.

Byrd concluded his remarks by reminding his colleagues that “in the real world, exemplary personal conduct can sometimes achieve much more than any political agenda. Comity, courtesy, charitable treatment of even our political opposites, combined with a concerted effort to not just occupy our offices, but to bring honor to them, will do more to inspire our people and restore their faith in us, their leaders, than millions of dollars of 30-second spots or glitzy puff pieces concocted by spinmeisters.”

The sense of loss expressed by Byrd’s colleagues of both parties is real. The “King of Pork” really did evoke what made the Senate great. There is a hunger there now for what is missing.

4. “The Lion” by Nelson DeMille (Grand Central)

The shooting of two middle-class teenagers in front of a drug house in Philadelphia touches off a community maelstrom that envelops an ever-increasing circle of those affected by the crime.

In his excellent second novel, Dennis Tafoya takes a sophisticated approach akin to HBO’s brilliant “The Wire” to show that no crime is committed in a vacuum. Myriad connections are formed by the shooting. Each person is affected — the teens’ families and friends, the cops, the criminals and the hard-working people in the area.

Tafoya tackles this ambitious story with a tightly focused plot and in-depth insight into myriad characters.

“The Wolves of Fairmount Park” is a fresh and original work that never succumbs to cliches.

Arika Okrent, author of “In the Land of Invented Languages,” was intrigued by the history of madeup languages. She said her book “reflects the humor and the craziness but also has compassion and understanding, since I’m a language person myself.”

Book delves into Klingon, other invented languages

battleground between warring drug dealers. Neither young man was known to be using drugs.

Danny Martinez, an ambitious detective with contacts among the drug dealers, tries to find out why they were there as the families deal with their own grief when one boy dies and their relief as the other recovers.

Street cop Brendan Donovan just wants his son, Michael, to live and the shooters arrested.

Arrogant, wealthy businessman George Parkman Sr. wants revenge on the person who shot his son, George Jr., and doesn’t care who else is harmed along the way. The mens’ reactions parallel their relationship with their sons.

Tafoya showcases his affinity for noir fiction in “The Wolves of Fairmount Park.” While he mesmerizes with a dark view of Philadelphia, he also infuses his plot with hope and optimism. All is not bleak as long as a person is willing to change.

Tafoya proves he is a talent to watch with “The Wolves of Fairmount Park.”

By John Timpane The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Arika Okrent was studying languages at the University of Chicago. The languages people use and how they work. The rules, the changes, the charts. She was in the library, poking around.

“And then,” says Okrent, relaxing in her home in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia recently, “I drifted down to the shelves with all the books on invented languages. It was a sad little collection. I felt sorry for it.”

But something called to her.

Tales of made-up languages and their makers. Esperanto, the most widely spoken of all; Volapuk, once the most popular; Klingon, the bark of space invaders.

She learned artificial tongues, then wrote about going to a 2003 Esperanto conference for the American Scholar — and the seed of a book was planted.

That book is the delightful “In the Land of Invented Languages” (published last month in paperback), which tells tales — often sad, often hilarious — of madeup tongues; Okrent’s forays into the realms of Esperanto, Klingon and Blissymbolics; and the personalities, political battles, and fates of linguistic makers-up.

‘Crazy ideas’ Niece of the journalist Daniel Okrent, Arika met her husband, research linguist Derrick Higgins, at Chicago. They came east when Higgins got a job at Educational Testing Service in Princeton, N.J. Okrent says, “I did almost all the research for the book before I had kids” — Leo, 5, and Louisa, 1.

“As I got further and further into this world,” says Okrent, 40, “at first, I’d say, ‘Look at all these crazy ideas,’ but I’d also find touching clues about the lives of the inventors.” Her book “reflects the humor and the craziness, but also has compassion and understanding, since I’m a language person myself.”

“Land of Invented Languages’ is a history of a “vast graveyard,” brilliant projects that failed.

Some inventors, such as James Cooke Brown, become famous for other things (he created the board game Careers), but not for their pet languages. We meet Suzette Haden Elgin, who in the early 1980s created Laadan, a “woman’s language” (“the only language textbook I know of,” Okrent writes, “that gives the word for menstruate in Lesson 1”). We visit the nutty, simpatico world of Esperanto, and the gestural world of sign languages.

There’s the occasional success, as with Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, who fought in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to resurrect a near-dead priestly language (Hebrew) and retrofit it for a modern age; it is now the national language of Israel. Or Lazar Ludwik Zamenhof, who grew up in the 1860s and ’70s in the Russian Empire town of Bialystok, a Babel of Russian, Polish, German and Yiddish. He dreamed of a language that cut

through the tangle — and his brainchild, Esperanto, is still the most widely practiced made-up tongue.

Rage for order has led many to remake language. In the late 1940s, Austrian engineer Charles Bliss invented Blissymbolics, which he hoped could become a writing system for all languages, “logical writing for an illogical world.” And Brown invented Loglan, a language that followed the rules of logic.

In one of her saddest stories, Okrent recounts how Brown fell into a long-running feud over rights, egos and direction. A project titled Lojban carried on his vision, despite him.

Language makes us human.

So — why mess with it?

“Well, there is a lot of messiness and ambiguity in language,” Okrent says. “We need it. We need that wiggle room.

But if you have an engineering mind, you’ll see irritating things.

Why do words have more than one meaning?” (Look up the word “set” in Webster’s: Its very first entry lists 25 possible meanings.) “Why do we have irregular verbs? Why are pronouns in English so messed up?”

Problem is, language probably isn’t fixable. “When you try to fix the world of ideas, fix the meanings of words,” Okrent says, “it’s hard to keep it steady. Times change, words change, and besides, we tend to mean what we mean not by strict rules, but by agreement.”

The art of language That won’t keep people from trying. One motive is the altruistic dream of tearing down the linguistic walls that divide us.

“It’s the dream of oneness,” says Okrent, “the idea that if everyone could communicate with one another, we could eliminate strife — an idea that is, unfortunately, easy to disprove.”

Ludwick invented Esperanto with that idea. Bliss of Blissymbolics grew up in the manylanguaged Austro-Hungarian Empire and dreamed of unifying the world through a common system. Even the names for these languages hint at the dream of one, perfect world: Esperanto (“one who hopes”), Volapuk (“world language”), Lingua Komun (“common language”), Unilingue, Unita, Universel.

in the book,” says Okrent, “is Fuishiki Okamoto, inventor of a language he called Babm. It’s a ridiculous language he claims is perfect, and of course it’s not — but he is so humble and modest, hoping it would be for the benefit of humanity. If these people worked that hard in pursuit of a failed dream, I figured they deserved to have their stories told.”

All this categorical, logical, engineering mentality — isn’t this all overwhelmingly male?

True, Okrent’s book begins with Hildegard of Bingen, the 12thcentury nun who created one of the first known made-up languages. And there’s the aforementioned Elgin. But Okrent doesn’t deny that Klingon conventions and logical-language websites seem to be a guy thing: “Many people have suggested there’s an Asperger’s-like, hyper-male mind-set at work, and there may be some truth to that.”

Invented languages say much about their times. In the 19th and 20th centuries, when the world was falling apart, people invented languages to sew it back together. Today, says Okrent, “it’s a much more playful enterprise, one that reflects the Internet, celebrity-driven popular culture.” Klingon, she says, “is much more in the spirit of the languages J.R.R. Tolkien invented for his ‘Hobbit’ and ‘Ring’ cycle, not trying to fix language but take it in an artistic direction.”

Okrent is, naturally, a certified Klingon speaker, and she tells how she achieved that high distinction — complete with official pin — in her book. The Klingon Language Institute is located in Blue Bell, Pa., along with its founder, psychologist and sci-fantasy writer Lawrence M. Schoen.

“In the Land of Invented Languages” ends with Okrent taking and passing a test to certify her as a Klingon speaker. Another aspirant, Louise, doesn’t pass — but next year, when she tries again and passes, Okrent is there to celebrate with her.

Okrent can see the attraction of an endeavor that might perplex the Terra-ngon (earthling) world: Klingon speakers “are doing language for language’s sake, art for art’s sake. And like all committed artists, they will do their thing, critics be damned.”

WASP Continued from F1 It is not as though white AngloSaxon Protestants relinquished power quickly or without reservation. Catholic immigrants, whether from Ireland or Southern Europe, faced a century of organized discrimination and were regularly denounced as slavish devotees of the pope unsuited to democratic participation.

And, although anti-Semitism in America never had anything like the purchase it had in Europe, it was a persistent barrier. Protestants like Abbott Lawrence Lowell, a great president of Harvard in the early 20th century, tried to impose formal quotas to limit Jewish admissions to the university. The Protestant governing elite must also bear its own share of responsibility for slavery and racial discrimination.

Yet, after the ideals of meritocratic inclusion gained a foothold, progress was remarkably steady and smooth. Take Princeton University, a longtime bastion of the Southern Protestant elite in particular. The Princeton of F. Scott Fitzgerald was segregated and exclusive. When Hemingway described Robert Cohn in the opening of “The Sun Also Rises” as a Jew who had been “the middleweight boxing champion of Princeton,” he was using shorthand for a character at once isolated, insecure and pugnacious. As late as 1958, the year of the “dirty bicker” in which Jews were conspicuously excluded from its eating clubs, Princeton could fairly have been seen as a redoubt of all-male Protestant privilege.

In the 1960s, however, Princeton made a conscious decision to change, eventually opening its admissions to urban ethnic minorities and women. That decision has now borne fruit. Astonishingly, the last three Supreme Court nominees — Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — are Princeton graduates, from the Classes of 1972, ’76 and ’81, respectively. The appointments of these three justices to replace Protestant predecessors turned the demographic balance of the court.

Why did the Protestant elite open its institutions to all comers?

The answer can be traced in large part to the anti-aristocratic ideals of the Constitution, which banned titles of nobility and thus encouraged success based on merit. For many years, the Protestant elite was itself open to rising white Protestants not from old-family backgrounds.

Money certainly granted entrée into governing circles, but education was probably more important to the way the Protestant elite defined itself, which is why the opening of the great American universities has had such an epochal effect in changing the demographics of American elites.

Another key source was the ideal of fair play, imported from the ideology of the English public schools, but practiced far more widely in the United States than in the class-ridden mother country.

Together, these social beliefs in equality undercut the impulse toward exclusive privilege that every successful group indulges on occasion. A handful of exceptions for admission to societies, clubs and colleges — trivial in and of themselves — helped break down barriers more broadly. This was not just a case of an elite looking outside itself for rejuvenation: the inclusiveness of the last 50 years has been the product of sincerely held ideals put into action.

Interestingly, this era of inclusion was accompanied by a corresponding diffusion of the distinctive fashion (or rather antifashion) of the Protestant elite class. The style now generically called “prep,” originally known as “Ivy League,” was long purveyed

by Jewish and immigrant haberdashers and then taken global

by Ralph Lauren, né Lifshitz. But until the Protestant-dominated Ivy League began to open up, the wearers of the style were restricted to that elite subculture.

The spread of Ivy League style is therefore not a frivolous matter.

Today the wearing of the tweed is not anachronism or assimilation, but a mark of respect for the distinctive ethnic group that opened its doors to all — an accomplishment that must be remembered, acknowledged and emulated.

Glenn Beck’s novel is all spin, zero thrills “The Overton Window: A Thriller”

by Glenn Beck (Threshold/Simon & Schuster, 336 pgs., $26)

By Tim Rutten Los Angeles Times

There are remarkable books whose ingenuity and formal daring put them beyond the range of conventional appraisal. There are also books lamentably difficult to assess because their utter disregard for style, literate narrative exposition and the entertainment quotient requisite in popular fiction seems more a result of artless ignorance than authorial intention.

“The Overton Window: A Thriller,” a first novel by radio talk-show host and Fox News personality Glenn Beck, squats immovably in that latter category. Suffice to say that, the subtitle notwithstanding, there is nothing even remotely thrilling about this didactic, discursive — sporadically incoherent — novel. The image of a train wreck comes quickly to mind, though this book actually has more the character — and all of the excitement — of a lurching, low-speed derailment halfway out of the station.

If you’ve ever watched one of Beck’s Fox News performances, you’ll feel that “The Overton Window” opens on familiar territory. In his author’s note, Beck refers to this book as “faction” and explains: “As you immerse in the story, certain scenes and characters will likely feel familiar to you. That is intentional, as this story takes place during a time in American history very much like the one we find ourselves living in now. But while many of the facts embedded in the plot are true … the scenarios I create as a result of those facts … are entirely fictional. Let’s hope they stay that way.”

Actually, what’s embedded in that passage is the key to the Beck rhetorical method, which is to assert the outrageous or malevolently incredible, followed by an aw-shucks denial that he means what he just said.

The Associated Press

Radio and television personality Glenn Beck has written his first novel, “The Overton Window: A Thriller.”

In an interview last week with USA Today, for example, he was asked to predict the next presidential election and replied, “That assumes we’re going to have an election. … Just kidding.”

Right.

The protagonist of “The Overton Window” is Noah Gardner, a dashing young bachelor about town — New York — working as an executive in the high-powered public relations firm founded by his ruthlessly villainous father. Dad, it quickly emerges, is the living prime mover in a plot stretching back nearly 100 years to subvert American constitutionalism and supplant it with the tyranny of an economic and political elite, while throwing everyone — including right-to-lifers, tea party activists, Libertarians and NRA members — into concentration camps. (Hint: Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt are bad guys in this imagined history.) Noah, however, falls for the daring, beautiful Molly Ross, who is working as a temp at the agency and is part of an insurgent group dedicated to resisting the conspiracy.

This is as good a place as any to provide the inevitable sample of the book’s prose, so here’s Noah’s

first impression of Molly: “Something about this woman defied a traditional chick-at-aglance inventory. Without a doubt all the goodies were in all the right places, but no mere scale of one to 10 was going to do the job this time. It was an entirely new experience for him. Though he’d been in her presence for less than a minute, her soul had locked itself onto his senses, far more than her substance had.”

You really can’t make this stuff up.

Anyway, the malleable Noah and his liberty-loving squeeze manage to penetrate — well, they use his card key — an office where the conspirators have loaded into the computers, what else, a PowerPoint presentation on their whole dastardly scheme to take over “finance, energy, labor, education, infrastructure, media, emergency management, law enforcement and continuity of government.” While it loads, Noah delivers a chilling soliloquy on the evils of cap-and-trade. Once the plot is up on the screen in horrifying schematic detail, Noah and Molly get a full sense of the conspiracy’s scope.

Ultimately the couple realizes that the plot is about to move to its final stage by using a stolen nuclear weapon to stage a phony terrorist incident, triggering an economic collapse, the abolition of all civil liberties and a final descent into authoritarianism conducted

by Gardner pere et al. Ultimately, Noah finds himself desperately trying to save freedom — and Molly. Gosh.

Though his name appears alone on the cover of this first novel, the title page lists three “contributors,” and Beck is quite open about the fact that he didn’t write the book.

“I don’t write,” he told USA Today.

“I speak. I get bogged down in writing.” The novel, he said, is “my story,” but one of the contributors “went in and put the words down.…

I am a team kind of guy.” Oddly collectivist for a guy who assigns such primacy to individualism. Off the evidence here, he might want to spend part of the next $1 million upgrading the team’s talent.

Melissa Rivers writes a self-help book for the everyday spotlight “Red Carpet Ready”

by Melissa Rivers with Tim Vandehey (Harmony Books, New York, 277 pgs., $22.99)

By Tish Wells McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Deep down in the summer reading pile is a book, “Red Carpet Ready,” from Melissa Rivers, celebrity interviewer and daughter of comedian Joan Rivers, writing with Tim Vandehey.

While Rivers has seen the rise and fall of many a Hollywood celebrity, “Red Carpet Ready” is basically a self-help book aimed at those who may never walk the Oscar red carpet but do have to have the confidence to march across a platform to get a graduation certificate.

“All of us have Red Carpet Moments throughout our lives. They’re weddings, bat mitzvahs, and interviews for dream jobs. They’re also breakups and painful apologies. A Red Carpet Moment is any time when the spotlight is on you, for better or worse.”

Rivers proceeds, in a breezy fashion laden with celebrity tidbits, to lay out rules that would help any girl deal with any kind of situation. She aims straight at the period when your formerly confident daughter has turned into a self-doubting teen.

Her basic lesson is prepare, prepare, prepare. The “one thing I’ve learned from my own experience it’s that most of life’s Red Carpet Moments don’t come about by accident.… You’re going to be able to prepare for your time in the spotlight.”

The Nine Red Carpet Life Lessons start with the “shallow end” — makeup, hair, “making sure you don’t have a ‘nipple slip’ on a first date,” or any date. “It’s very politically correct to claim that we care only about character and the

A Red Carpet Moment is any time when the spotlight is on you, for better or worse.”

— Excerpt from “Red Carpet Ready” by Melissa Rivers inner self, to work on personal growth without worrying about how our eyebrows look. Nonsense. Every woman cares about looking great when she’s having a Red Carpet Moment. Appearance matters.”

Then there is the “deep end” about “living with gratitude and awareness and honesty, seeing that failure isn’t the end of the world,” and more.

Finally, “Red Carpet Moments are about risk. When you stage your wedding, walk into a conference room to interview for a job, or step onto a stage with your band, you’re putting yourself in the spotlight and also risking failure. Life is full of times you have to suck it up and do what has to be done even though you’re furious, embarrassed, or brokenhearted.”

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Blockbuster told to start restructuring DALLAS — Blockbuster Inc. must hire a chief restructuring officer this week, the company disclosed in a filing Friday morning, one day after the New York Stock Exchange announced that its stock would be delisted.

Debt holders stipulated the new hire as part of its agreement, disclosed Thursday, to give the Dallas-based company a six-week extension on its interest payment.

And it probably means staff cuts and cost-cutting measures are ahead. However, it doesn’t mean that chairman and CEO Jim Keyes, who was hired in 2007, is out. The company said Thursday that his contract was extended by the board. Terms haven’t yet been disclosed.

Keyes’ job would be a difficult one to recruit and it’s not unusual in such situations to hire a restructuring officer to work with the CEO. The company has five days to fill the position.

Default notices continue to pile up in Deschutes County, which saw a record number of notices of default filed during the first six months of the year, potentially putting a damper on home prices for months to come, say economists.

Through June 30, there were 2,053 default notices filed in the county, according to the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office. That’s nearly 18 percent more than the 1,735 notices of default filed in the first six months of 2009.

On a quarterly basis, the number of

Inside • Tracking the default notices, Page G5

filings actually fell in the second quarter from the first quarter, to 963 from 1,090, a decline of more than 11 percent, but the first quarter total was the most ever recorded in the county.

Based on the pace of filings in 2010 and past years, and expert forecasts, the county is on track to record more than 4,000 default notices by year’s end.

A total of 3,507 default notices were filed in Deschutes County in 2009, an increase of more than 82 percent from the 1,925 filed in 2008. There were 589 notices of default filed in 2007.

“We don’t see any significant slackening of the pace but continuing where we are,” said California-based economist Bill Watkins, who monitors Central Oregon’s economy for an economic forecast service he provides to local government and businesses.

Watkins last year predicted more default notices would be filed in 2010 than 2009.

New numbers show China industry down HONG KONG — Two closely watched measures of the manufacturing sector in China declined in June in the latest sign that Beijing’s efforts to scale back stimulus steps have hurt the country’s growth.

A manufacturing purchasing managers’ index, compiled by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing and released Thursday, came in below expectations at 52.1, down from 53.9 the previous month. A similar index by HSBC also sagged, from 52.7 in May, to 50.4 in June.

Readings above 50 indicate expansion, so the June figures showed that the Chinese manufacturing sector was still growing. But the declines confirmed what many economists have long projected: that the pace of China’s growth probably hit its highest level during the first quarter of this year.

Mortgage rates hit another low: 4.58% WASHINGTON — Mortgage rates have sunk to the lowest level in more than five decades, but consumers aren’t rushing to refinance their loans or buy homes.

Mortgage company Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate for 30-year fixed loans sank to 4.58 percent last week.

That’s down from the previous record of 4.69 percent set the week before and the lowest since the mortgage company began keeping records in 1971. The last time they were cheaper was the 1950s, when most long-term home loans lasted just 20 or 25 years.

Natural Vines, all natural licorice, is the latest product from American Licorice Co., in Bend. In addition to marketing itself via social media, the company, founded in 1914, is pitching Natural Vines as a premium product, something industry groups are calling an emerging trend in confectionery.

American Licorice Co. shows a tweet tooth Maker of Red Vines reaches out in new ways, including Twitter, other social sites

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

A

merican Licorice, the candy company headquartered in Bend, waited 94 years before airing its first TV commercial, which featured its top-selling product, Red Vines.

But in the last four months, American Licorice Co. has posted more than 1,000 tweets, and its Facebook page has added nearly 12,000 fans.

While American Licorice, a privately owned company founded in 1914, ignored more traditional media for decades, it has embraced social networks and brand websites as it sharpens its focus on its customers, said Michael Kelly, public relations manager/community advocate.

On its website for Sour Punch,

American Licorice has been running a contest for the best user-created video.

On its Red Vines site, it’s holding a drawing contest.

“In terms of how you market products to consumers … everything’s changing,” said Kelly, 30. “You can’t reach as many consumers through traditional means. You have to be where they are, and they’re on social networks.”

Kelly, who began the company’s social networking efforts four months ago and leads the campaign, drives home his point with a statistic: The number of users on Facebook is greater than the population of the U.S. And he’s right.

As of Thursday evening, Facebook reported more than 400 million active users. At the same time, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated the nation’s population at 309 million.

On the Web For more information about American Licorice Co., visit www. americanlicorice.com.

The social networks allow American Licorice to have conversations with its customers, Kelly said, and provide a conduit for word-of-mouth advertising.

It also gives the customers a nearly direct line for reaching the company.

“It’s gone from letters, to phone calls to e-mail to tweets,” Kelly said. “And they get almost instant feedback.”

The concentration on consumers represents a shift for American Licorice from its earlier days, Kelly said, when it was driven more by manufacturing.

American Licorice was founded by Martin Kretchmer in Chicago during an era when the city became the center of the nation’s candy-making.

The best strategy for selling a small business appears to be not planning to sell it.

Especially in today’s market, as lower cash flow levels, tougher access to credit and stagnant sales are tempting many small-company owners to sell, creating a buyer’s market.

“My personal philosophy is, you can’t build a company properly if you’re planning to sell it in three to five years,” said Frank Newman, chairman and chief executive officer of Medical Nutrition USA Inc. in Englewood, N.J. The maker of nutrition medicines for the elderly recently agreed to sell to Danone North America Inc. for $62.3 million at a time when Medical Nutrition was looking to

buy a business, not sell to one.

Instead of focusing on selling, said Newman, entrepreneurs should create value in their company by building it up, forming a long-term strategy that will increase revenue and profits, and hiring the right people.

Then, he says, “good things will happen.”

Redmond’s downtown park is a hit

W

hat does a park have to do with business? In downtown Redmond, a lot.

The impressive new Centennial Park that opened last week and commemorates the city’s 100th birthday on Tuesday is already proving to be a magnet for pulling people into the city’s much-improved and still-evolving downtown.

“I think it’s going to work big-time” to help bring more people downtown, said Lexey MacTaggart, 22, whose two young children were among about 20 youngsters squealing with delight as they scampered through the park’s kid-friendly fountains Tuesday. She counted herself among those who will return.

Same for her friend, Megan Hammack, 23. Sitting with her infant son and watching the children play, she appreciates that Redmond has added such a familyfriendly attraction downtown.

For the two women, the park in the U between Seventh and Eighth streets, and Evergreen Avenue complements a recharging downtown. Both said the city center has attracted them more lately than prior years, thanks to its Sixth Street makeover, handful of excellent new restaurants and, as Hammack put it, overall “small-town hospitality.”

With Centennial Park just a block away from the Sixth Street revitalization project the city completed last year along three blocks, it’s easy to picture park visitors walking to nearby restaurants and shops before or after visiting the park for sun, fun, people-watching, music, a farmers market, whatever.

Aside from a kid lure, the park offers ample lawn, myriad flowers, numerous benches and interesting local artwork.

Jerry Werner designed the park’s intriguing clock tower (examine it up close to appreciate it), which includes tiles handpainted by Redmond High School students depicting their interpretation of the city’s past, present and future. Tiles painted by local elementary schoolchildren border the fireplace on an outside wall of the park’s One Street Down Cafe. A mural painted by Redmond Proficiency Academy students highlights the park’s north boundary and chronicles the area from its time of pioneers to snowboarders.

Rozy Arno is banking on that synergy from the park and on downtown’s potential. She was putting the finishing touches Tuesday on her cheery new deli, Soup 2 Nuts 2 Go, at the corner of Sixth and Evergreen in a building she’s owned the past five years. On the menu: healthy convenience foods like salads and fresh sandwiches, baked treats and more.

“I believe in this town,” Arno said. “I live here. I love it here. The city’s done a fantastic job” with downtown and the park. Arno said the time is right to launch her business on the cusp of what she believes will be continued improvement as more businesses seek to participate in downtown’s revival.

To be sure, Sixth Street needs more businesses. Too many vacant storefronts interrupt the energy from the mostly inviting and interesting establishments that are open.

The city — with its Sixth Street project, new Fifth Street surface, sidewalks and trees, and Centennial Park — has laid the foundation for more private-sector investment. The park and other improvements can help get locals reacquainted with downtown, to experience its changes and “also to sort of generate a community feeling,” said Heather Richards, the city’s community development director.

The city’s not done, either. Sixth Street’s makeover will be extended in early 2012, she said.

At the Oregon Yerba Maté bistro on Sixth Street, owner Nate Winkler acknowledges that his wholesale maté business has helped keep the shop afloat through last year’s road construction and the rough economy. But he senses emerging energy from projects like the park.

“It’s just bringing people downtown, which is awesome, that’s what we need,” he said. “Redmond (has) just now kind of got everything finished and is looking good.” Downtown just needs more businesses, he said.

Linda Nichols and Patricia Roberts, who work in a nearby law office, ate lunch in the park Tuesday and were impressed.

“I think you’ll see more and more people down here,” Nichols predicted.

If the park has that effect, downtown will surely benefit.

Cheap, illegal roadside signs sprout in a down economy

By Jeff Kunerth The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. — The signs cluster on the street corners like day laborers looking for work: They’re selling carpet cleaning, tree trimming, airconditioning repair, day care, website design, Google seminars. At the traffic lights, they offer passing motorists cheap health insurance, cash for junk cars, help with bankruptcy, the chance to stop foreclosure, the opportunity to make big money from home.

This is the intersection where the underground economy meets the recession: grassroots advertising for people looking for a way to make a little extra money or a fast buck.

The scam artists commingle with the truly desperate. That sign for a “3/2 Investor Home 39k Ca$h” could be some poor soul losing his house or an unlicensed real-estate broker.

The signs for custom T-shirts or business cards or banners — or the signs for signs — could be the only way a printing business can stay afloat or somebody trying to make a living without an occupational license.

To consumers, the signs suggest buyer beware. To Alex Rueda, they are a blight on the landscape, a hazardous distraction to moving traffic and an unabashed mockery of the sign ordinances that prohibit “bandit” signs on public right-of-way.

“They know putting these signs up is illegal,” said Rueda, 42, an Orange County, Fla., code enforcement officer. “They assume nobody is going to come after them.”

Tough to crack down And in many cities and counties, they may be right. It is a time-consuming and often futile task for code enforcement to remove the illegal signs, only to have a new group reappear the next day. Orange code enforcement officers picked up 8,961 signs in May, up from 7,702 signs in April.

“This is a huge, huge problem,” said Robert Spivey, manager of Orange County Code Enforcement. “The problem is Serving Central Oregon Since 1946

For computing, the biggest Web operations think small

By Ashlee Vance New York Times News Service

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Is this Silicon Valley or Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

Over the past 18 months or so, this question has become tougher to answer as a flood of products with names like Voldemort, Hadoop and Cassandra have appeared on the scene.

They are part of a new wave of highly specialized technology — both software and hardware — built by and for Web titans like Facebook, Yahoo and Google to help them break data into bitesize chunks and present their Web pages as quickly and cheaply as possible, while grappling with increasing volumes of data. Facebook, for example, created Cassandra to store and search all the messages in people’s inboxes.

The products, championed by a bustling crop of startups, reflect a potential changing of the guards here in the technology world’s heartland.

“There is a foment happening,” said Andrew Feldman, the chief executive at SeaMicro, a hardware startup that hung up its shingle last week. “It’s a bubbling

of ideas and technology.”

In the original dot-com boom, companies tended to buy the fastest, most expensive systems so that they could manipulate ever larger, centralized databases of information. This approach has proved too costly and cumbersome for the types of work that companies like Google and Yahoo tend to do now.

The focus instead is on taking chunks of information, chopping them up and spreading the data across thousands of computers and storage devices. It’s a divideand-conquer approach to making the avalanche of data produced online manageable.

To complement the changes in software design, some hardware makers have emerged with new kinds of computer systems.

SeaMicro, for example, unveiled a line of computer servers that run on Intel’s Atom chips, usually found in hand-held devices and smart phones. Feldman argued that these chips have enough oomph to display Web pages and handle other basic Internet tasks, while consuming far less power than more muscular chips usually found in computer servers.

Alex Rueda, a code enforcement officer in Orange County, Fla., collects illegally placed signs earlier this month. The signs are becoming an increasing problem in cities across the country. “This is a huge, huge problem,” says Robert Spivey, manager of Orange County Code Enforcement. “The problem is so big, they could do nothing but pick up signs. A person or business can put up 1,000 signs a day.” so big, they could do nothing but pick up signs. A person or business can put up 1,000 signs a day.”

The same is true across the state, said Terry Suggs, president of the Florida Association of Code Enforcement Inc. “It’s a never-ending battle, a circle I wish we could break,” said Suggs, an Alachua County, Fla., official.

Every year, the code enforcement association holds an “Operation Sign Sweep” day in which cities, towns and counties cleanse the landscape of illegal signs. Last year, 50 jurisdictions removed 16,000 signs in one day.

The bane of code enforcement is the boom for sign companies.

Business is up 25 percent to 30 percent in recent years at Fast Signs in Orlando, Fla., fueled largely by the collapsing housing market.

“Especially with all the foreclosures over the past few years, we’ve definitely seen an increase,” said general manager Kris Lepicier.

State law makes illegal signs in a public right of way a second-degree misdemeanor. Fines

vary from county and municipality. In Orange County, it’s $150 per illegal sign. But in Orange, as well as most places, standard practice is to issue a warning and give the person some time to remove the sign voluntarily. If the warning is ignored, the person can be given a citation, required to appear before a magistrate and face fines as high as $500 a day for each sign.

Fines for signs But it takes time to track down a person and an address from a phone number on a roadside sign. In Orange County, 38 code enforcement officers devote one day a week to removing illegal signs. Only one investigates the people behind signs.

“That’s me,” Rueda said. “I’m the Sign Guy.” On Monday, Rueda went before the county’s magistrate to get fines levied against two illegal sign owners. The same day, he caught a man planting yellow house-for-cash signs and confiscated 65 of them. The county’s recycling dumpster where he tossed the signs would

be full by Friday.

On Tuesday, he picked up signs from the same “bankruptcy” and “we buy homes” business that was fined the day before.

“At times, it’s frustrating,” he said.

Rueda said most of the repeat and prolific violators are large businesses engaged in something shady. They know the rules and how to cover their tracks.

“They are doing everything they can to make money and looking for ways not to get caught,” he said.

But not all the signs on the side of the road are from unlicensed businesses, fly-by-night scam artists or people trying to make a little untaxed income.

Some belong to folks who have something legitimate to sell or rent. For them, the standard yard-sale-sized signs are a cheap and effective way to attract customers.

Target boosting grocery sections, doing away with garden supplies

By Sandra Pedicini The Orlando Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. — Groceries are in, gardening out at Target.

The Minneapolis-based discounter known for trendy clothes and stylish home decor now is now beefing up its stores’ supermarket aisles. Target is adding meat, fresh produce and packaged baked goods such as pies.

Target says it’s feeding the demands of its customers, who want increased convenience.

The chain plans to spend $1 billion on remodeling 340 of its stores this year.

Other changes will take place as well. Beauty sections get a makeover with softer lighting and curved fixtures. The home sections will display decor in a way that allows shoppers to more easily envision them in their homes.

Video games, now locked away in cases, will be in the open, where customers can touch them.

Meanwhile, Target is phasing

out all its garden sections, planning to do so by September. It says the garden areas are no longer profitable. A few gardening items will still be sold in other areas.

In the stores getting remodeled, new layouts will devote about 10,000 square feet to food, expanding existing grocery sections by anywhere from 50 to 200 percent. The new sections are still dwarfed by those in SuperTargets, which have about 22,000 square feet for food sales.

Pawnshops turning up in affluent settings

By Gerry Smith Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Jade Osowski needed some quick cash.

So she took her seven designer-brand purses to a place that, until last year, did not exist in the city limits of Naperville, Ill.: a pawn shop.

At Naperville Jewelry and Loan, co-owner Greg Holloway assessed the value of the leather bags and gave Osowski $170, which she used to attend a book signing in Minnesota for “American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta.

Osowski, 17, might not fit the profile of a typical pawnshop customer. But neither does family-friendly Naperville — with an estimated median income of about $89,000 — seem the typical setting for an institution often associated with swindlers, addicts and thieves.

Yet in the last year, three pawnshops have opened within a mile of each other along Ogden Avenue. Naperville Jewelry and Loan was the first.

The trio of new pawnshops reflects an effort by pawnbrokers to open in more affluent towns where residents are hocking expensive goods to cope with the recession, experts say.

Administrative assistant Sharon Clason works at the front desk as co-workers pass by at the Bend headquarters of American Licorice Co., which makes Red Vines and other candy.

Licorice

Red Vines and more Renamed in 1952, Red Vines remains the company’s top seller. The 4-pound clear tub with the knobbed top, introduced in 1983, has become a fixture in many workplaces.

“It is a coffee-room staple across the country,” Kelly said.

The candy also has developed a following, traditionally stronger in the West where it’s made, although modern distribution has made it more available in the East, as well, Kelly said.

But the rivalry with Twizzlers, the red licorice made by The Hershey Co., of Pennsylvania, remains.

A Google search on Thursday for the phrase “Red Vines vs.

Twizzlers,” returned 216 hits.

One site, Candyaddict.com, refers to it as the Great Licorice Debate.

Throughout its history, American Licorice has continued to introduce new brands and refine existing ones.

Last year, it launched Extinguisher, which was the subject of the company’s first major

2010

Continued from G1 In the early 1900s, the country’s rail lines all went through Chicago, and the Midwestern fields producing the ingredients were not far away, according to Kelly and the company’s history.

Some well-known brands — Brach, Tootsie Roll, Cracker Jack and Wrigley’s gum — got their start in Chicago during the period, according to the Chicago Historical Society’s Electronic Encyclopedia of Chicago.

By 1900, Chicago had become the largest producer of candy in the nation.

The Kretchmer family earned awards right along with the Brach and Stover families, according to Candy Industry magazine archives.

Today, John Kretchmer, the founder’s great-great grandson, is the company’s CEO. “The history is very rich,” Kelly said. “It goes back to the beginning of the confectionery industry.”

Over the years, the company moved and expanded, spreading westward.

Today, it makes Red Vines, in all flavors, and Super Ropes in Union City, Calif., and Sour Punch, Natural Vines, Extinguisher and other products in La Porte, Ind., about 70 miles outside Chicago.

Union City also serves as a hub for Kelly and some Bay Area members of the consumer marketing team, he said.

About 40 American Licorice employees handle accounting, finance, human resources, some

marketing and other duties at the Bend headquarters, located near Summit High School. The company, which employs about 500 in all, moved the headquarters to Bend about 10 years ago.

“We like to consider ourselves American-based because we are spread out across the U.S.,” Kelly said.

When it began, American Licorice made black licorice.

Red licorice, first known as Raspberry Vines, came along six years later, according to a company timeline.

JULY 10 & 11 Downtown Bend

campaign with TV and Internet advertising.

Each Extinguisher package comes with four candies. Three of them have increasing levels of sourness, and the fourth, the blue Berry Sweet Relief, “puts out the sour,” according to the candy’s website.

In the last couple of weeks, American Licorice’s latest product, Natural Vines, hit the shelves in Whole Foods in the Pacific Northwest, Kelly said.

The licorice, which the company says contains all-natural flavorings and colors from natural food sources, will roll out to other stores across the country during the summer.

Along with marketing the candy’s natural ingredients, the company is pitching Natural Vines as a premium product, a segment the industry trade group National Confectioners Association pegged as an emerging trend this year.

As a whole, the confectionery industry recorded sales last year of $29.3 billion, a 4 percent increase over 2008, according to the association. Higher prices accounted for the increase, in part, the February report states.

Total production in 2009 was slightly less than 2008.

Kelly said the industry has held its own through the economic crisis. While people may reduce spending, they still indulge themselves in other ways.

“Instead of ice cream, you get a 1-pound bag of Red Vines as a treat for the family,” he said.

and the landlord of the building he was to occupy. The suit was later dismissed.

“People want to protect their property values, and here is something that has a bad image and they don’t want that thing around,” Caskey said.

Holloway said Naperville was one of just a few western suburbs that didn’t have a regulation against pawnshops. Even then, he found it difficult to find a willing landlord. He finally convinced one, but the landlord had one condition: he change the shop’s name so it did not include the word “pawn.”

Hollywood is now trying to capture pawnshops in a more accurate light with the History Channel’s “Pawn Stars,” which is based on the colorful negotiations that take place in a Las Vegas pawnshop. The second season was the History Channel’s highest-rated series ever.

How it works The number of pawnshops nationwide grew from less than 5,000 in 1986 to about 12,000 in 2007, Caskey said. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, which regulates the pawnshop industry and sets statewide interest rates at 20 percent, said there were 228 pawnshops in Illinois in 2009.

At Naperville Jewelry and Loan, about 80 percent of business operates like a retail consignment shop, with customers buying and selling used items. About 20 percent of the business works like a pawnshop, with customers putting

1052 nw newport ave. | bend, or | 541 617 0312

up their belongings as collateral for a loan. The average loan at the shop is between $150 and $200, about twice the national average.

Customers can pay back the loan plus interest anytime within one month. Then they are given a 30-day grace period, after which the pawnshop takes ownership of the item.

At street level on Ogden Avenue, there’s little indication a pawnshop is operating. The ancient symbol of pawnshops — three hanging gold balls — is nowhere to be seen. Only a piece of paper taped to the door tells customers the pawnshop is upstairs.

Occasionally, a young man will come in looking to sell women’s jewelry or a pink digital camera, forcing Holloway to judge whether the items are stolen.

“At least once a day we turn someone away,” he said.

Customers are not buzzed in.

There is no bulletproof glass or armed guards. There is only one security camera inside the welllit showroom filled with jewelry, iPods, Louis Vuitton purses and guitars signed by Buddy Guy and the Rolling Stones.

“They’re not scary. They’re nice,” Jade’s mother, Pat Osowski, said of co-owners Holloway and Tom Brunzelle. “I wouldn’t bring my daughter here if there was a creepy feeling.”

But in many cases, pawnbrokers have found their reputation has preceded them, reinforced by a long line of characters like Shylock in “The Merchant of Venice” or gubernatorial candidate Scott Lee Cohen.

“They have this image, largely due to Hollywood, of trafficking in stolen goods — and it’s just not fair,” said John Caskey, an economics professor at Swarthmore College and author of “Fringe Banking: Check-Cashing Outlets, Pawnshops and the Poor.”

That image, fair or not, has made it difficult for pawnbrokers to open in some suburbs.

When Andrew Grayson tried to open a pawnshop in downtown La Grange, Ill., in 2009, residents and business leaders objected, saying the shop would ruin the character of the village.

Village officials refused to issue Grayson a building permit and later amended a zoning ordinance to exclude pawnshops from La Grange’s central business district. In response, Grayson filed a lawsuit against the village, its board members

Defaults Continued from G1 A notice of default is a legal document that initiates foreclosure proceedings and is generally filed by a lender after a borrower’s mortgage is 90 days delinquent. The notice states that the property secured by the mortgage is to be auctioned by the lender roughly 150 days after the notice is filed if the borrower does not bring the mortgage current.

Not all notices of default end up in foreclosure, and Deschutes County does not track actual foreclosures.

Watkins believes many of the defaults the county is seeing are due to investors who can no longer hold onto their properties, which is one reason defaults continue to pile up. But also credit the depth and severity of the ongoing recession, he said.

The first wave of borrowers to lose their houses were those who “probably shouldn’t have been in a home,” he said, meaning homebuyers who didn’t have enough income but still qualified for exotic loans, or investors who put no money down and bailed as soon as the market started to sour.

But now, as the recession drags on, it’s ensnaring more people who have lost jobs or can no longer afford to wait it out, people who “could afford the home when they bought it, but can’t anymore,” he said.

Unemployment in Deschutes County remains doggedly high.

It broke past the 10 percent mark in November 2008 and has continued in double digits ever since, including the seasonably adjusted figure of 14.7 percent in May.

Is there any such thing as a healthy-sounding snack that also tastes good? Procter & Gamble is betting that the answer is yes by introducing a multigrain version of its popular snack-in-a-canister, Pringles.

The new variety of Pringles has the crunchiness and saddle shape of the original, which was invented 41 years ago, but the latest stacked chip is made of several grains as well as potatoes.

Procter & Gamble’s campaign includes a charity donation for hungry children in the United States, participation by a celebrity chef and recipes to pair with multigrain Pringles.

That is in addition to a television commercial and print advertisement, both presented in autumn harvest hues, and a commercial available online.

The company is putting its marketing might — though it declined to say how much it was spending on its new Pringles campaign — in a snack category whose multigrain segment sometimes has had trouble finding solid footing in the marketplace.

One reason is that consumers often say they want healthy snacks but reject products because they are not as tasty as their fatty, salty counterparts.

To overcome concerns about taste, Pringles did extensive sampling, including focus groups and in-home tastings, of its product among consumers in the United States and Europe, said Douwe Bergsma,

The government tried to stem foreclosures with initiatives such as the home loan modification program, but partly because of high unemployment, their impact has been slight and,

the North America marketing director for Pringles.

“Our emphasis is completely on taste,” Bergsma said. “We’ve introduced three flavors: Truly Original, Creamy Ranch and Cheesy Cheddar, to appeal to the consumer segment in the snack market that desires to experiment with new and different tastes and flavors.”

In devising the marketing campaign for multigrain Pringles, Brett Banker, account director at Grey Worldwide, part of WPP, said that “there is a general perception that multigrain is bland and does not taste good.

“So we tried to leave behind the idea of boring and serious, and go with delicious and playful,” he said of the television commercial, which has young people gathering in a farmer’s field to create a crop circle, a design seen from the air.

To familiarize people with its multigrain version, Pringles has been distributing samples, giving out more than 2 million — individual chips, not entire cans — said Kay Puryear, a brand spokeswoman.

Bergsma said that the multigrain Pringles campaign was devised to appeal to people 35 and older, a group that tends to be more aware of calories and sodium content and that also looks to keep the pounds off with whole grains. (Even so, multigrain Pringles, which are made from rice, corn, wheat and black beans in addition to dehydrated potatoes, have about the same amount of sodium and calories as regular Pringles.)

in many cases, only delayed an inevitable default filing, Watkins said.

And finally, Watkins cited more so-called “strategic defaulters,” or those who can af-

deals in its 2010 first-quarter report.

Closed transactions fell to $150,000 from $165,500 a year ago, the report said, although closed deals rose 0.3 percent in the quarter.

However, the good news is that interest has risen sharply in small businesses among private-equity investors, said Greenberg. Businesses unable to attract private equity firms previously because of their lower revenue are now on their radar, he said. Financing is slowly loosening and shareholders are pressuring them to invest, said Greenberg.

Greenberg said a client looking to sell a flexible-packaging company in Bergen County, N.J., for $12 million has had 60 companies over two months express interest enough to seek the financial documents on the business, a number which is “very unusual,” he said, and shows resurgent interest among buyers.

Angell predicted the same situation and wrote in the Rothstein Kass survey report that “family businesses will more frequently become the acquisition targets of private equity firms,” due to the restrictions to capital.

Newman’s long-term plan for Medical Nutrition enabled the company to sell to a complementary business.

Newman took over the public company in 2002 when revenue was $1 million and it had lost money for 10 years after going public. He initiated a reverse stock split that raised enough capital to rebuild the business.

Rather than planning to sell, Newman said he was looking to buy a business. Meanwhile, Danone, the French makers of Dannon yogurt and Evian water, had asked Medical Nutrition to sell their pediatric nutrition medicine products to break into the American market. In exchange, Danone would sell Medical Nutrition products abroad, he said.

Continued from G1 But Newman acknowledged those goals are difficult to achieve for small companies in this economy, as banks continue tightening both the access to credit that owners need to buy inventory and the criteria potential buyers require to finance acquisitions.

As a result, more small entrepreneurs are looking to sell as a way to get out of a business that seems to have stagnated.

“I get more calls for companies that are struggling than I do for those that are not struggling,” said Howard Greenberg, owner of the business brokerage AJR Business Advisors in Rochelle Park, N.J., which negotiates deals between buyers and sellers. “And it’s very difficult to sell businesses that are struggling, in as far as small businesses go.”

A recent survey by Roseland, N.J.-based accounting firm Rothstein Kass of 382 leaders of family businesses across the country planning to sell in the next two years found 69 percent said lack of credit was a concern.

“We were seeing a lot of clients having financial difficulty with the economy and looking to sell,” said Thomas Angell, a certified public accountant and principal with the firm, which has a large family-run business group.

The survey, said Angell, paints a picture of how business owners were feeling in early 2010.

“What people were looking at in that period of time, was that they don’t see in the foreseeable future that continued growth,” said Angell. “Instead of floundering around, (they say) maybe it’s a good time to sell now.”

Declining sales prices for businesses show that it continues to be a buyer’s market, reported BizBuySell.com, a website for those wishing to buy or sell small businesses and which tracks closed

years it takes for their credit to recover from a foreclosure.

Last Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported that nearly 20 percent of mortgage defaults in the U.S. in the first half of 2009 were “strategic,” according to a recent study. The paper also reported two weeks ago on a separate study issued recently by Morgan Stanley that estimated 12 percent of the defaults recorded across the nation in February were “strategic.”

Timothy Duy, an economist with the University of Oregon and the author of the Central Oregon Business Index, said another reason foreclosures have picked up is because banks are moving more aggressively to get them off their books.

Earlier this year, according to a report from Irvine, Calif.based real estate research firm RealtyTrac Inc., the number of foreclosed homes nationally jumped 35 percent in the first quarter of 2010 compared with a year ago, a sign banks are starting to wade through their backlog of troubled home loans at a faster pace.

Nationally, RealtyTrac reported that 1 in every 399 housing units received a foreclosure filing in May. In Oregon, it was 1 in every 519 units, and in Deschutes County, 1 in every 167 housing units, the highest in the state, according to the company.

Whatever the reason for the defaults, they are likely to keep home prices in Deschutes County flat for some time, Watkins and Duy said.

“Increasing (notices of default) imply additional forced liquidations coming onto the market that will tend to depress prices,” Duy said in an e-mail to The Bulletin. “This is especially the case

as the expiration of tax credits will reduce demand in the coming months.”

Last Thursday, the National Association of Realtors reported a 30 percent decline in pending home sales in May as a result of the April 30 expiration of two federal tax credits for homebuyers.

But in Deschutes County, home sales declined less than 4 percent between April and May, according to the Bend-based Bratton Appraisal Group.

Watkins believes that shows home prices have bottomed out and are attracting investors. The downside is the increased supply of foreclosed homes on the market is likely to keep prices flat.

“We see housing prices bouncing around where they are now for at least a year,” Watkins said.

“The whole economy is bouncing along the bottom right now, and we’re thinking this will be an extraordinarily weak recovery. … We’re in for one long, tough slog.”

According to Bratton, the median price for a single-family home in Bend has remained in a narrow range since January, perhaps signaling a bottom.

The January median price was $189,000 and in May, the latest month for which data from Bratton are available, the median price was $190,000.

In the months between, the price ranged between a low of $180,000 in April and a high of $199,000 in March.

The May median price of $190,000 is more than 52 percent off the peak price of $396,000 in May 2007.

“As we went through those discussions, Danone realized the best way to realize those complementary strengths was to acquire Medical Nutrition,” said Newman.

The $62.3 million deal is expected to close this summer, said Newman.

Newman used the same longterm growth-through-acquisition strategy to sell the Eckerd Corp. drugstore chain after he took over the troubled company in the early 1990s. His plan to buy J.C. Penney Co.’s line of drugstores and combine them with Eckerd’s stores intrigued J.C. Penney, which decided to purchase Eckerd in 1997.

Mark Jordan, who ran the $11 million Butler, N.J.-based bus company Jordan Transportation Inc. before selling it in September 2009 to Student Transportation of America of Wall, N.J., said you can’t build and then sell a company if you’re planning to sell it all

along.

That mindset was crucial for Jordan, he said, during the yearlong negotiations to sell the business. Because he was going to continue running the company after it was sold, he had to make sure the sale didn’t change his outlook.

“You can’t get involved in the emotion of possibly selling it,” he said.

Toyota’s change of topic

By Cheryl Jensen New York Times News Service

CLEVELAND — After months of bad publicity and a drumbeat of negative news — including millions of recalled vehicles, investigations of unintended acceleration, embarrassing congressional hearings and a $16.4 million federal fine for foot-dragging on required safety reports — Toyota is eager to change the conversation.

Conveniently, the company has something else to talk about, and it’s a comforting, family-friendly subject: a new minivan. Specifically, Toyota has introduced a R E V I E W substantially revamped version of its Sienna van for the 2011 model year, and the news on that front is mostly good. The latest Sienna is considerably better than the preceding model in nearly every way, and its improved ride and handling are particularly notable.

Those who need a first-rate family room on wheels will find it checks off all the must-have boxes. There are five trim levels, two engines, front- or all-wheel-drive configurations, regular or sporty suspensions and a range of prices.

A 4-cylinder version starts at a budget-friendly $25,060 and is so nicely equipped that a lot of buyers could stop there. For those with nagging concerns about ice and snow, the least expensive Sienna with all-wheel drive is $31,930, and prices top out at a jaw-dropping $45,705. Indeed, Toyota is the only automaker offering a conventional minivan with either a 4-cylinder engine or all-wheel drive.

There are versions catering to other preferences as well. If the race driver Danica Patrick slows down to become a mother, she can zip her children around in a Sienna SE with a sport suspension. Baby boomer grandparents can spoil their grandchildren (and

When it comes to warming up your engine, what’s best?

Q:

New York Times News Service

Toyota’s 2011 Sienna has many forms, offering five trim levels, two engines, front- or all-wheel-drive configurations, regular or sporty suspensions and a wide range of prices starting at $25,060.

2011 Toyota Sienna Base price: $25,060 As tested: $41,591 Type: Family minivan with either front- or all-wheel drive.

Engine: Either a 2.7-liter fourcylinder or a 3.5-liter V-6, both mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Mileage: The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 16 mpg in city driving and 22 mpg on the highway for the all-wheel drive Sienna. The V-6 with frontwheel drive is rated at 18/24 mpg. themselves) with the luxurious XLE or Limited versions.

Toyota calls the 2011 model the third-generation Sienna, although there are many similarities with the previous one. The V-6 engine is carried over and the van is built on “roughly” the same underlying architecture, said David Lee, a product communications specialist.

The new exterior styling came from Toyota’s California studio. A 6-speed transmission replaces a 5speed unit. The steering, formerly hydraulic, is now electric.

The least expensive Sienna with

a V-6 engine is $26,300. I tested a fancier XLE V-6 with all-wheel drive. It came with 18-inch runflat tires and a Premium Package ($6,225) that included rear-seat entertainment features, a navigation system and a backup camera.

That, and a $51 cargo net, ballooned the price to $41,591 from a starting point of $35,315.

I put the Sienna to the test with a 1,400-mile New Hampshireto-Ohio round trip that included a visit to Cleveland, where two nephews, ages 10 and 13, joined the test crew.

While passengers appreciate fancy gadgets, minivans are all about spacious interiors, accommodating seats and flexible cargo space.

Seven-passenger Siennas come with two plush captain’s chairs in the second row. In 8-passenger versions, a very narrow seat is wedged in between.

In either version, the secondrow seats can move forward or backward as much as 23 inches, providing a lot of space flexibility for the second and third rows.

Sliding the second row forward also makes it much easier to climb into the third row. That seat can

accommodate three small people or two adults.

For carrying more gear, the third row folds fairly easily into a well. But even when the third-row seats are being used, the cargo space is 39 cubic feet — about two and a half times as much as the trunk of a Camry sedan.

One potentially negative note: The second row cannot be folded flat into the floor as it can in Chrysler minivans with the clever Stow ’n Go feature.

As for storage, there are so many trays, bins and compartments that even the messiest among us could become highly organized. Notably there are two glove boxes, including one with two levels and several compartments; a tray on the floor for a purse or briefcase; and a center console with a rear portion that can slide back to make the cup holders more accessible to second-row passengers.

The Sienna is loaded with air bags, including one for the driver’s knees, and safety features like electronic stability control. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated it a Top Safety Pick for its performance in crash tests, including rollover protection.

Can you please settle a dispute about warming up your car’s engine? My husband says you shouldn’t begin driving until the engine warms up for at least a minute or two.

I’ve heard it’s OK to begin driving right away. As you could guess, this conflict surfaces regularly if we go somewhere together and either of us is behind the wheel. Sometimes I prefer to drive alone.

Oh boy. This subject is right up there with religion and politics when it comes to finding agreement. Both of you may be considered correct, should the weather be harsh or mild. In very cold climates, it makes sense to allow a minute or two of warm-up time before driving off, but longer than this wastes fuel, increases engine wear and multiplies emissions.

In mild climates, it’s best to start driving in about the time it takes to buckle up and check the mirrors. Engines run most efficiently when at operating temperature, and the sooner this occurs, the better. Several studies have shown a cold engine warms up almost three times faster when driven, compared to idling. Modern fuel-injected engines, thanks to precise fuel metering and injector location, tolerate cold operation much better than their older carbureted relatives, contributing to superior cold start drivability.

Additional discussion may likely occur regarding how the vehicle is driven after startup. In cold climates I believe it’s prudent to drive gently for the first few miles, as there are many parts of the car (wheel bearings, suspen-

sion and steering parts, manual transmission) that are slower to warm up than the engine. Automatic transmissions receive help warming up, via the transmission cooler, which works in reverse when cold, passing engine heat to the transmission fluid. In warmer climates, unless you live right next to a freeway onramp, post-startup operation shouldn’t be a concern.

Q:

What is your opinion about fuel injector flushing? My repair shop pushes this service, and I wonder if I’m doing the right thing, saying no.

If your car or truck starts and idles well, accelerates crisply, and you have no check engine light concerns, keep saying no. Back in the 1980s, dirty fuel injectors were a big problem, but since then, thanks to improvements in gasoline additives (already in the fuel) and improved injector and engine design, this is no longer much of an issue. Certain vehicles are prone to injector or poppet valve clogging, but this can often be mitigated with an occasional dose of Techron, added to the fuel. While clean engine parts are certainly a good thing, nonsymptom or preventative fuel injector flushing, I believe, isn’t a good way to spend money.

If you’ve experienced rough idle, hesitation or stumbling on takeoff, or an emissions test failure, fuel injector flushing certainly may be called for.
