Developer Ruling calls for study of fire retardant drops critical after Controversial firefighting method killed 22,000 fish in Fall River wife shoots at ‘prowler’ Fall River

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

A Bend real estate developer was in critical condition Wednesday evening after he was shot by his wife, who apparently thought he was an intruder.

Police were called to Stephen and Angelicque Trono’s home on Mount Shasta Drive in northwest Bend around 12:30 a.m. on Stephen Trono We d n e s d a y.

Officers who arrived at the scene found that 60-year-old Stephen Anthony Trono had been shot and seriously injured. Angelicque Franchesca Trono, 39, said she’d been startled awake by a noise.

Sometime after her husband got up to check things out, police say she said she mistook him for an intruder and fired a gun.

A half-dozen Bend police detectives spent Wednesday gathering evidence and trying to piece together exactly what happened, but officials had released only limited information by the end of the day.

Police have not made any arrests.

Lt. Ben Gregory said a handgun was recovered from the house, but he could not confirm if it was the weapon used in the shooting — or how many times Stephen Trono had been shot.

For Gen. Petraeus, rooting out Afghan corruption is a priority

Federal stimulus subsidies benefiting private employers

By Joshua Partlow

By Catherine Rampell

The Washington Post

KABUL — Every day, Gen. David Petraeus meets with senior NATO officials at headquarters for a 7:30 a.m. update, and at nearly every session, he returns to an issue that has bedeviled the U.S. campaign for years: Afghan corruption.

In his first month on the job, Petraeus has intensified efforts to uncover the scope and mechanics of the pervasive theft, graft and bribery in the Afghan government, examine U.S. contracting practices, and assist Afghan authorities in arresting and

convicting corrupt bureaucrats, according to U.S. and NATO officials.

Petraeus sees corruption “as an enemy.

It is counter to our strategy. And it is readily apparent to me ... there is a new sense of urgency,” said a NATO military official who participates in the morning “standup” meeting.

The issue was also a central concern for Petraeus’s predecessor, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, as the U.S. military has come to realize that its counterinsurgency goals depend on fighting corruption.

Graduation is the goal; staying alive is the prize Chicago tests advocacy program in hopes of reducing student shootings

By Susan Saulny New York Times News Service

CHICAGO — The bonding moment between Veronica Tinajero and the student she calls Big Sunshine came during one of their first meetings.

“Have you ever been shot?” the student, a high school senior, asked.

When Tinajero replied no, he looked genuinely amazed and said, “Wow, almost everybody I know’s been shot.”

Later, he ticked off a list of his own bullet wounds: upper thigh, left hand, scalp.

“I should have been dead already,” he said.

With that, Tinajero, 24 and a public schools employee, gained a fuller understanding of what she was up against. A professional advocate, she is in Big Sunshine’s life for two reasons: to help keep him alive, and to keep him on track to graduation and college.

She is part of an ambitious but untested project born of crisis, a project that may take on added significance after a Supreme Court ruling earlier this month that appeared to doom Chicago’s ban on handguns.

Last school year, 258 public school students were shot in Chicago, 32 fatally, on their way to or from school, traveling through gang-infested territory and narcotics wars on the South and West sides. In an effort to get ahead of the next killings, the schools conducted an analysis to identify the 250 students most at risk of being shot (by studying profiles of 500 recent victims).

Since December, each of those students has had an advocate like Tinajero on call to offer caretaking and support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

National experts consider it to be perhaps the most intensive safety intervention tried in big-

city schools; its results are being watched nationally.

The advocates Students in the high-risk category — mostly black and Hispanic boys, some homeless dropouts and some formerly gang-affiliated — are also given jobs. The array of interventions is financed by federal stimulus grants through 2012, part of a $60 million safety plan developed by Ron Huberman, the schools chief who was appointed last year by Mayor Richard Daley with a mandate to improve students’ safety. There are 409,000 students in 675 public schools here.

The 60 advocates hired so far function like a high-energy amalgam of parent, tutor, friend and life coach, sometimes tackling simple assignments like homework. But more often they delve into the heart-wrenching details of the students’ lives.

More than one has sat bedside in a hospital emergency room after bullets ricocheted through a charge’s body.

Others have worked to help rival gang members get along in class, counseled bereaved students after a parent was killed and helped homeless students find safe places to live.

The plan acknowledges the harsh reality that troubled children are often on their own. So, trying to reach them through their families can be futile. Hence the need to hire advocates.

Encouraging results Each advocate is assigned no more than four students and is paid $12 an hour for one-on-one time with the students. The program is not limited by school time or the school year; it functions year-round. Some advocates hold other jobs or work on

degrees on the side. Jonathan Moy, the school system’s project manager for mentoring and interventions, said that more people had applied to be advocates than positions were available and that most who were accepted had social-service backgrounds.

Of the 210 young people reached so far, about half were not in school. Now all are enrolled. Although three students with advocates were shot in the school year that ended June 18, there were no deaths. (Systemwide, 218 students were shot this school year, 40 fewer than last year, and 27 of the shootings were fatal.)

Compared with a year ago, this is success.

Monique Bond, spokeswoman for the Chicago Public Schools, said that attendance was up and that suspensions and misconduct were down among students with advocates.

Officials were so encouraged by the results that the school district recently announced that the program would be expanded next year to include 1,500 students.

Going beyond school Because so many of the highrisk students are still targets of their rivals and former gang associates, school officials and the students’ families asked that the students contacted for this article remain unidentified beyond their initials or nicknames. Big Sunshine, 20, the student being mentored by Tinajero, still fears retaliation.

He said he started carrying a gun at age 12, to fit in with the boys in his neighborhood. Since then, he has been in and out of school and in and out of trouble with the law.

Big Sunshine did graduate in June, and Tinajero will work

with him through the summer to help him make the transition to college. He plans to study sociology at Harold Washington College here this fall.

The intervention in the students’ lives has gone far beyond school.

For instance, Tinajero and Samuel Garcia, 26, another advocate, helped move Big Sunshine’s family to a safer block, and they began working with his 17-yearold brother, also a gunshot victim, who was not gang-affiliated but heading in that direction.

They found Big Sunshine a minimum-wage job and gave both brothers, who have young children, classes for parents. They also held group family therapy with the young men’s parents, created rules and set long-term academic goals.

“I learned to stop caring about what other people think,” Big Sunshine’s brother said in an interview about how the advocates had influenced his behavior.

“You’re a gangbanger and you want to drop that? That doesn’t mean you’re a punk.”

Tinajero made sure Big Sunshine had safe passage to school, even if that meant picking him up in her Toyota. She secured college applications and counseled his parents who are minimally educated immigrants from Mexico. For a treat, she took him to eat at a restaurant for the first time, an Applebee’s.

Days before Big Sunshine became the first member of his family to finish high school, he bought a suit in the men’s department of Carson Pirie Scott.

Tinajero pointed him in the direction of a lavender shirt and tie, black jacket and pants and made sure they fit.

“A suit,” he said, looking admiringly at himself in a mirror.

“Never thought I’d be standing here like this.”

U.S. SLIPS IN RANKINGS, COLLEGE BOARD WARNS

Americans lag in obtaining college degrees

By Tamar Lewin New York Times News Service

Adding to a drumbeat of concern about the nation’s dismal college-completion rates, the College Board warned last week that the growing gap between the United States and other countries threatens to undermine U.S. economic competitiveness.

The United States used to lead the world in the number of 25- to 34-year-olds with college degrees.

Now it ranks 12th among 36 developed nations.

“The growing education deficit is no less a threat to our nation’s long-term well-being than the current fiscal crisis,” Gaston Caperton, the president of the College Board, warned at a meeting

Thursday on Capitol Hill of education leaders and policy makers, where he released a report detailing the problem and recommending how to fix it. “To improve our college completion rates, we must think ‘P-16’ and improve education from preschool through higher education.”

While access to college has been the major concern in recent decades, over the past year, college completion, too, has become a leading item on the national agenda. Last July, President Barack Obama announced the American Graduation Initiative, calling for 5 million more college graduates by 2020.

Canada now leads the world in educational attainment, with

about 56 percent of its young adults having earned at least associate’s degrees in 2007, compared with 40 percent of those in the U.S. While almost 70 percent of high school grads in the U.S. enroll in college within two years of graduating, only about 57 percent of students who enroll in a bachelor’s degree program graduate within six years, and less than 25 percent of students who begin at a community college graduate with an associate’s degree within three years.

The problem is even worse for low-income students and minorities: only 30 percent of blacks ages 25-34, and less than 20 percent of Latinos in that age group, have an associate’s degree or higher.

And students from the highest income families are almost eight times as likely as those from the lowest income families to earn a bachelor’s degree by age 24.

California, New York pull ahead in Race to the Top States beat 17 others, advance to finals in federal funds contest

By Alan Blinder Hearst News Service

WASHINGTON — California and New York are in the running to win some of the $3.4 billion the federal government will award to states that implement “bold blueprints” for educational reform, Education Secretary Arne Duncan has announced.

The states, which could receive up to $700 million each, are among 19 finalists for grants from the Race to the Top competition. They bested 17 other states to advance in the contest.

The federal program parcels out the grants on the basis of a state’s education initiatives, such as increasing the number of charter schools and including student achievement in teacher evaluations. The program gives additional points to states in which teachers unions actively support the reform measures.

A panel reviewed the applications and assigned a pointvalue for the reforms from each state. States that earned more than 400 points out of the 500 available were named finalists.

The winning states have wide discretion to use the federal funds for any educational purpose.

Duncan, in remarks at the National Press Club, said the program has unleashed “an avalanche of pent-up educational reforms.”

The contest, he said, was spurred by national frustration with the education system. “I have yet to meet one person who is satisfied with the status quo,” he said. “Everyone knows we have to get better.”

Earlier this year, Delaware and Tennessee won the competition’s first round.

Tennessee won $500 million while Delaware received $100 million. Duncan said the decision was based on broad support for reform in the two states and the actions of state legislatures to execute the reform plans.

Duncan said 10 to 15 states would receive funding in the second round, depending on the sizes of the winning states. The Department of Education set ranges of awards for states based on population. California and New York fall into the highest category, while the smallest states could receive a maximum of $75 million from the program.

The finalists — 18 states and the District of Columbia — will present their plans to a judging panel in Washington in August. The government will announce the winners in September.

In addition to California, the District of Columbia and New York, the finalists are: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

A ruling in one state, a warning for others

By Julia Preston New York Times News Service

against Arizona, on an issue that has aroused passions among state residents, has irritated many state governors. Nine states filed papers supporting Arizona in the court case.

Interferes with federal law and policy But Bolton found that the law was on the side of the Justice Department in its argument that many provisions of the Arizona statute would interfere with federal law and policy.

Gov. Jan Brewer said the state would appeal the decision.

Although Bolton’s ruling is not final, it seems likely to halt, at least temporarily, an expanding movement by states to combat illegal immigration by making it a state crime to be an immigrant without legal documents and by

imposing new requirements on state and local police officers to enforce immigration law.

Arizona’s lawyers contended that the statute was written to complement federal laws. Bolton rejected that argument, finding that four of its major provisions interfered or directly conflicted with federal laws.

The Arizona police, she wrote, would have to question every person they detained about immigration status, generating a flood of requests to federal immigration authorities for confirmations. The number of requests “is likely to impermissibly burden federal resources and redirect federal agencies away from priorities they have established,” she wrote.

Bolton also found that there is a “substantial likelihood that officers will wrongfully arrest legal resident aliens,” she wrote, warning that foreign tourists could also be wrongly detained.

that “in general, the naming of individuals could cause potential problems, both to their physical safety or willingness to continue support to coalition forces or the Afghan government.”

B Golden Gate suicide barrier funding OK’d

Crews step up work to stop Midwest spill

SAN FRANCISCO — For 73 years, people have poured onto the picturesque red-colored span of the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures, ride bicycles, commute and, in close to two dozen cases each year, jump to their deaths, an act transportation officials moved to stop Wednesday by authorizing money for a suicide barrier.

The Metropolitan Transportation Commission, which oversees transportation financing in the Bay Area, approved $5 million in federal money for the final engineering and design of a steel mesh net hanging 20 feet below the span, to catch wouldbe jumpers. Officials estimate the net system will cost an additional $45 million to build and install.

The hanging metal net design was approved by the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District in February, a landmark decision after decades of debate here over whether the aesthetic and monetary costs made sense and whether potential jumpers dissuaded by such a barrier would just go elsewhere to kill themselves.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich.

— Gov. Jennifer Granholm expressed growing worry on Wednesday that an oil spill, believed to be among the largest ever in the Midwest, might reach Lake Michigan if efforts to contain the oil were not strengthened.

More than 800,000 gallons of oil spilled Monday into the Kalamazoo River, a major waterway that flows into Lake Michigan, about 60 miles away.

The leak came from a 30inch pipeline that carries millions of gallons of oil each day from Griffith, Ind., to Sarnia, Ontario.

Response crews worked Wednesday to contain the oil spill, which had already reached at least 35 miles of the river and left fish and birds coated in oil.

Enbridge Energy Partners, the owner of the pipeline, said the cause of the leak was being investigated.

Enbridge is Canadian owned but based in Houston.

On Wednesday, Enbridge officials said they were doubling the amount of boom on the river to more than 28,000 feet.

TOTAL LIQUIDATION

MADRID — Lawmakers in the northeastern Spanish region of Catalonia voted to ban bullfighting on Wednesday.

With the strong support of separatist parties, the ban passed by a larger margin than expected: 68 to 55, with nine abstentions. It is to go into effect in January 2012.

The ban — the first in mainland Spain — comes at a time of decline for bullfighting in real terms, if not in emotional power.

Reliant on state subsidies, bullfighting has suffered heavily from forced cuts in public financing.

The vote came ahead of Catalan regional elections this year, in which separatist parties hope to make advances.

One U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said government lawyers were exploring whether WikiLeaks and Assange could be charged with a crime. One question, some lawyers said, is whether WikiLeaks and Assange could be charged with inducing or serving as coconspirators in violations of the Espionage Act, a 1917 law that prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of national security information.

But the vote suggests a willingness by Congress to look for unconventional ways of plugging holes in the budget and comes as struggling states have also been looking to extract revenue from the gambling industry, which took a hit as consumers cut back on travel and entertainment during the recession but continues to reap billions of dollars in annual profits. The committee vote Wednesday was 41-22, with seven Republicans joining most Democrats on the panel in favor of the measure.

Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., who leads the Financial Services Committee, has been the legislation’s champion.

A federal judge in Arizona on Wednesday broadly vindicated the Obama administration’s high-stakes move to challenge that state’s tough immigration law and to assert the primary authority of the federal government over state lawmakers in immigration matters.

The ruling by Judge Susan Bolton, in a lawsuit against Arizona brought July 6 by the Justice Department, blocked central provisions of the law from taking effect while she finishes hearing the case.

But in taking the forceful step of holding up a statute even before it was put into practice, Bolton previewed her opinions on the case, indicating that the federal government was likely to win in the end on the main points.

WASHINGTON — With pressure mounting on the federal government to find new revenues, Congress is considering legalizing, and taxing, an activity it banned just four years ago: Internet gambling.

On Wednesday, the House Financial Services Committee approved a bill that would effectively legalize online poker and other nonsports betting, overturning a 2006 federal ban that critics say merely drove Web-based casinos offshore.

The bill would direct the Treasury Department to license and regulate Internet gambling operations, while a companion measure, pending before another committee, would allow the Internal Revenue Service to tax such businesses. Winnings by individuals would also be taxed, as regular gambling winnings are now. The taxes could yield as much as $42 billion for the government over 10 years, supporters said.

200 $ 399 READY TO GO!

The two measures — which are backed by banks and credit unions but have divided casinos and American Indian tribes — are far from becoming law. The congressional timetable has little spare room before the midterm elections, and the Obama administration has not taken a position.

Archive releases FDR letters

By Sam Roberts New York Times News Service

A month after the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, Joseph Kennedy, the American ambassador in London and father of a future president, expressed grave doubts about “this war for idealism” against Hitler.

“I can’t see any use in everybody in Europe going busted and having Communism run riot,” Kennedy wrote to Marguerite LeHand, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s personal secretary.

“My own belief is that the economics of Germany would have taken care of Hitler long ago before this if he didn’t have a chance to wave that flag every once in a while.”

Kennedy’s letter is one of nine documents released Wednesday by the National Archives in Washington, part of a forthcoming cache of letters, drafts and notes related to Roosevelt’s presidency. David Ferriero, the national archivist, said the rest of the archive, which had been in the possession of Grace Tully, Roosevelt’s last personal secretary, was expected in November.

The documents include a shopping list of vital recovery legislation; a recommendation to promote Col. George Marshall to brigadier general before the war; a congratulatory note from Mussolini after Roosevelt’s 1932 election; and a letter from Lucy

Retardants Continued from A1 The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Service has said an accidental retardant drop in 2002 on Street Creek, near Lake Billy Chinook, killed a small number of endangered bull trout.

No endangered species were killed in Fall River, which contained mostly brown trout, red band trout, brook trout and white fish. But the Eugene-based Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics, which brought the lawsuit against the Forest Service, has cited the incident as an example of the potential damage that an errant load of retardant can wreak.

The decision doesn’t stop the Forest Service from dropping fire retardant while it completes the study.

Forest Service spokeswoman Jennifer Jones said the agency will “fully comply” with the judge’s order. She said, though, that retardant is a useful tool for protecting communities and wild areas from wildfire.

“Protecting fish and wildlife habitat are our priorities and millions of acres are at risk of uncharacteristically large and severe wildfires that can cause long-term damage to wildlife habitat and human communities,” Jones said.

“Retardant is an effective tool in fire suppression both in the wild lands and near communities.”

Molloy blasted the Forest Service for failing to follow federal environmental rules, and had even sharper words for the Fish and Wildlife Service, which didn’t

Shooting Continued from A1 Neither of the Tronos have a concealed handgun permit on file with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office. A permit is not required to own a gun.

“Based on statements we are able to receive and what we see at the scene, we make a determination of where the shots were fired from, where the impacts were, how many rounds were fired and if all those rounds were accounted for, what kind of weapon was used,” he said.

Gregory said Wednesday afternoon that detectives had not yet been able to interview Stephen Trono, who is being treated at St. Charles Bend. Gregory said it may take several days before police are able to release some key details about the incident.

Stephen Trono is the founder of the Trono Company, which offers management, marketing and sales consulting services.

He’s been involved with several developments in Central Oregon, including Scottsdale Ranch Estates, Equestrian Meadows and The Summit, according to the company’s website.

For the last few years, Trono has been working on a mixedused development called Mercato, which would be located on the former site of the Brooks-Scanlon crane shed in The Old Mill District.

“He never wrote memoirs, he wasn’t a reflective kind of guy. This shows him instinctively making decisions that he knew would be for the betterment of the country and the world.”

— Robert Clark, supervisory archivist of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library Mercer Rutherfurd, with whom Roosevelt had an affair, arranging to visit the president in Warm Springs, Ga., a week before his death. (“I am terribly worried,” she wrote.)

‘FDR’s thought process’ “You actually see FDR’s thought process,” said Robert Clark, supervisory archivist of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in Hyde Park, N.Y., who is reviewing the documents. “He never wrote memoirs, he wasn’t a reflective kind of guy.

This shows him instinctively making decisions that he knew would be for the betterment of the country and the world.”

When Roosevelt solicited the advice about Marshall from

recommend any firm restrictions on use of fire retardant in its analysis.

“As the Fish and Wildlife Service has candidly admitted, the agency was unwilling to impose the restrictions necessary to protect listed species in the biological opinion because it placed a higher priority on fire suppression than on the avoidance of jeopardy or destruction” of endangered species or habitat, Molloy wrote.

Sensitive species The Forest Service reasoned that because it has a policy to generally avoid dropping retardant within 300 feet of lakes and streams, it was unlikely to kill endangered species. But Molloy pointed out that the agency still allows retardant dumps near sensitive species if the incident commander deemed it necessary.

“By failing to impose any binding restrictions on the use of fire retardant where it may affect listed species or critical habitat, the (Endangered Species Act) agencies have failed to alleviate the risk of jeopardy to listed species,” Molloy wrote.

Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics Executive Director Andy Stahl said he wants to force the federal government to be smarter about how it fights wildfires.

“We’re asking the Forest Service to really change a 100-year war on fire in which any collateral damage is acceptable,” Stahl said. “The goal of this lawsuit is to make these environmental laws work so we get safer and more effective firefighting.”

In March, PremierWest Bank filed a lawsuit against Trono and his company, seeking about $4.7 million in repayment for the loan that secured the property. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for next month.

Trono’s biography on his company’s website notes that he and Angelicque have been married for 16 years and have five children.

Neighbors said the Trono family moved into the house on Mount Shasta Drive, a rental, just last week.

William Bazemore, who lives near the Trono’s house, said most of the neighbors know each other well and have never had any problems with crime in the area. He said people were shocked when they heard the sirens and came outside to see most of the street blocked off with crime scene tape.

“We get wildlife prowling around here and not much else,” he said. “I’d be surprised if there was a real prowler here.”

Bazemore said he met the Tronos after they moved in, but hasn’t had time to get to know them. On Tuesday evening, he said he saw two of their young children playing outside.

Police confirmed that at least one of the children, an 18-year-old son, was at home at the time of the shooting, and others may have also been present.

Gen. John Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I, “he’s essentially headhunting, so when the time is necessary he has access to this guy,” Clark said. “A chit to Harry Hopkins about public works programs shows the interconnectiveness of everything he’s doing.

“It’s history in rough draft,” Clark said.

After five years of negotiation and special legislation, all 5,000 Tully papers were donated to the Roosevelt Library at the National Archives by the Sun-Times Media Group, a successor to Hollinger International, whose chief executive, Conrad Black, bought the documents in 2002.

Kennedy’s letter presaged his further public disparagement of the war and the future of democracy — comments that, along with his efforts to arrange a conciliatory meeting with Hitler, forced him to resign as ambassador in 1940.

“The British are going about this war hating it, but with the determination to fight it out,” Kennedy wrote. “I still don’t know what they are fighting for that is possible of accomplishment.”

In a 1933 handwritten letter, Mussolini expressed admiration for Roosevelt and hope that they might meet to “discuss the outstanding world problems in which the United States and Italy are mutually interested.”

Molloy ordered the agency to perform an analysis of retardant impacts in 2005, but it took more than two years for the Forest Service to complete the report and finalize the decision covering the use of retardant. The delay had caused the judge to threaten to hold Mark Rey, then the U.S. Department of Agriculture undersecretary who oversaw the Forest Service, in contempt of court.

In his decision this week, the judge sided with the Forest Service on just one issue: that the agency shouldn’t be required to perform a new environmental study of all of its firefighting activities. Molloy wrote that the request was an overreach, based on tenuous logic.

Stahl, who was a persistent critic of the Forest Service and firefighting policy under President George W. Bush, said President Barack Obama has essentially continued Bush’s fire strategy.

“I don’t think there is any interest in the Obama administration in these topics whatsoever,” Stahl said.

New report shows more pollution troubles in China

By Andrew Jacobs New York Times News Service

BEIJING — China, the world’s most prodigious emitter of greenhouse gas, continues to suffer the downsides of unbridled economic growth despite a raft of new environmental initiatives.

The quality of air in Chinese cities is increasingly tainted by coal-burning power plants, grit from construction sites and exhaust from millions of new cars squeezing onto crowded roadways, according to a government study issued this week.

Other newly released figures showed a jump in industrial accidents and an epidemic of pollution in waterways.

The report’s most unexpected findings pointed to an increase in inhalable particulates in cities like Beijing, where offi-

Mosquitoes Continued from A1 There is no question that the mosquito season has begun in Central Oregon, but its severity remains an open question.

Areas, such as Shevlin Park, known for having a heavy mosquito population appear to be worse.

Not only have Heidtke’s employees been busy, but so have others. Crews, for example, from Four Rivers Vector Control District, near Sunriver, have been spraying in recent days.

Still, the situation is not so bad that it has Deschutes County health officials any more worried than in years past.

The Deschutes County Health Department has begun its annual process of reminding people to protect themselves from mosquitoes — wear long sleeves in the morning and evening, clear any standing water.

The department also keeps a regular check on how bad mosquitoes have been and if there are any outbreaks of mosquitocarried diseases — like West Nile virus — in Oregon. Deschutes County has never had a case of the disease, according to Patty Thomas, communicable disease coordinator with Deschutes County.

So far, it’s been a quiet mosquito season, Thomas said.

cials have struggled to improve air quality by shutting down noxious factories and tightening auto emission standards.

Despite such efforts, including an ambitious program aimed at reducing the use of coal for home heating, the average concentration of particulates in the capital’s air violated the World Health Organization’s standards more than 80 percent of the time during the last quarter of 2008.

‘A grave situation’ “China is still facing a grave situation in fighting pollution,” Tao Detian, a spokesman for the Ministry of Environmental Protection, told the official China Daily newspaper.

The ministry said the number of accidents fouling the

For stronger reactions to bites Take antihistamine with diphenhydramine, such as Benadryl, or other medications such as Actifed or Claritin.

“It’s that time of year, so it’s time to get the message out,” Thomas said.

Just by being outside in the last week, some people have been getting the message.

Teague Hatfield, who owns the FootZone running store in Bend, said people in his shop’s evening running groups have met more mosquitoes recently.

Customers have described how runs along Deschutes River or in Shevlin Park have been mosquito-ridden experiences, he said.

‘Nature’s motivation’ The problem tends to be mild for runners, since they’re moving quickly. But when the Tuesday evening group stopped or slowed, the runners started swatting, Hatfield said.

“Mosquitoes could be looked at as nature’s motivation,” he joked.

Hatfield said the running groups in Bend have jogged through more mosquitoes than in recent years.

air and water doubled during the first half of 2010, with an average of 10 each month. The report also found that more than a quarter of the country’s rivers, lakes and streams were too contaminated to be used as drinking water. Acid rain, it added, has become a problem in nearly 200 of the 440 cities it monitored.

In recent days, the state media have provided a grim sampling of the country’s environmental woes, including a pipeline explosion that dumped thousands of gallons of oil into the Yellow Sea, reports of a copper mine whose toxic effluent killed tons of fish in Fujian province and revelations that dozens of children were poisoned by lead from illegal gold production in Yunnan province.

Others have noticed an increase in mosquitoes, too.

The problem has increased a bit for Pine Tavern and its patio looking over the river.

Most customers know to expect some mosquitoes once summer hits, according to Rob Ramaker, a manager at the restaurant.

Mosquitoes have not been so prevalent as to hurt Pine Tavern’s summer business, Ramaker said. Rather, it’s just a fact of life for outdoor seating along the river, he said.

“It’s definitely a little more intense this year,” Ramaker said.

“But it’s kind of what we deal with every year.”

Some areas in the region, though, may not be as bad.

The Crane Prairie Resort, along the Cascade Lakes about 35 miles from Bend, has suffered through heavy mosquito seasons in the past, but that hasn’t been the case this year, according to Manager Carol Schatz.

There have been years when Schatz had to constantly refresh bug spray. But this year has been fairly mild, she said. Even in the worst years, people still visit the resort, Schatz said.

“I mean, you’re out in the woods. What can you do about it?” she said.

Greek classic by Sophocles resonates at Marine base

By Tony Perry Los Angeles Times

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — The reading of Sophocles’ classic drama “Ajax” was polished and powerful.

But the most dramatic parts of the Thursday night performance may have been unscripted comments by Marines, Marine spouses and a Navy chaplain.

Written about 2,500 years ago, “Ajax” explores the torment of a Greek warrior returning from combat with thoughts of rage, revenge and suicide. His family and fellow soldiers struggle with his anger and feelings of having been dishonored and abandoned.

Comments from a panel and the audience after the production, part of the Pentagon-sponsored “Theater of War” project, showed anew that the aftereffects of war have changed little over the centuries.

Christina Whittemore said her husband, a helicopter crew chief now in Afghanistan, suffered nightmares and post-traumatic stress when he returned from Iraq. Like Ajax, he could not leave the horrors of war on the battlefield, she said.

“There have been times he’s jumped out of bed and sworn an Iraqi had just left the room,” she said.

Bri, who preferred to use only her first name, said her husband has been deployed 33 of the last 50 months. Each time he returns, his personality has changed, she said.

“He’s fine now, but it’s been a rough couple of years,” she said.

Sgt. Oscar Rauda, a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, said he knew what it was like to return from war and be unable to adjust to family life. Among other agonies, he remembered the young Marine who died in his arms.

He treated his wife badly and allowed underage Marines to drink, leading to time in the brig

and a reduction in rank, Rauda said. Marines who should have helped him, he said, turned their backs — a theme straight from the play, as Ajax feels he has been cheated by his superiors.

“I lost my rank; I lost my soul,” Rauda said. “I feel like Ajax.”

After Ajax commits suicide, falling on his enemy’s sword, characters argue about whether he should be given a respectful funeral or scorned for having done something unmanly.

‘We’re still struggling’ An infantry company commander and a chaplain said they have heard discussions like that.

“We’re still struggling with how much difference there is between suicide and a combat death,” said Navy Capt. Ollis Mozon, base chaplain for Camp Pendleton in California.

Bryan Doerries, director and founder of the Theater of War project, said Marines tend to be his best audiences, possibly because of their intense focus on the “core values” of honor, courage and commitment.

Under a $3.7 million contract with the Pentagon, Doerries has brought his productions to dozens of U.S. military bases and other locations.

The goal of the project is to show troops and their families that their problems are universal and to break down the stigma associated with seeking help.

Too many Marines still refuse to seek help, the panel agreed.

Whittemore said she finally told her husband that he needed help.

“He said, ‘I can’t,’ and a tear came down his face,” she said.

Retired Marine Lt. Col. Jay Kopelman, an Iraq veteran and now executive director of the nonprofit organization Freedom Is Not Free, said it bears remembering that Sophocles was both a playwright and a general and that his audience consisted almost exclusively of combat veterans.

Subsidies Continued from A1 Despite questions about whether the programs displace existing workers, many economists have argued that direct job creation programs are a more cost-effective way to put some of the nation’s 14.6 million unemployed back to work than indirect alternatives like tax credits and construction projects. The average duration of unemployment continues to break records, after all, and studies have shown that the longer people are out of work, the less employable they become.

“I never, ever, ever thought I’d end up in an art gallery,” said Tremaine Edwards, 35, a former computer technician who had been unemployed for two years before he was hired in May by Gallery Guichard, a private gallery in Chicago.

Guichard now earns $10 an hour, financed by the government, through the Put Illinois to Work program, to maintain the company’s website, curate exhibits and run gallery events.

He has also become the gallery’s star salesman, selling five paintings during the most recent gallery opening despite no background in fine arts or sales.

“I feel like if I knew I could have done this 15 years ago, I would have,” he said, grateful for the opportunity to escape cubicle life. “As long as I keep selling like this, I think I’ll be fine, no matter what happens with Put Illinois to Work.”

Better to pay workers Proponents of these national job subsidies, initially financed with $5 billion of stimulus money, say it is better to pay people for working in real jobs than to pay them jobless benefits for staying idle.

Placing workers in the private sector is also more promising than giving them make-work government jobs, they say, because market forces can be harnessed to figure out where people like Edwards should invest their skills for the long run.

Others contend that training

The gallery has workers that earn government pay through the Put Illinois to Work program. and financing will accomplish little if businesses are unwilling to hire on their own. They argue that government policies should instead be encouraging business growth robust enough to create jobs independently.

So far just over a billion dollars has been approved to create subsidized employment programs in 36 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. The biggest year-round program is run by Illinois, which has put 22,000 workers in subsidized jobs and has 30,000 people on its waiting list.

Most states pay 100 percent of workers’ wages up to a certain point. To qualify for the subsidy, workers must have a low household income. They must also have minor children or be under age 21 themselves. Employers seem to hear about the programs largely through word of mouth, and some states actively help match eligible workers with companies.

These eligibility restrictions are part of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, created in the welfare reform legislation of 1996, which is now being used to channel the

Petraeus Continued from A1 NATO surveys have found that anger at corruption is the top reason Afghans support the Taliban over the government.

From police shakedowns to profits from drug trafficking, NATO officials put the yearly price tag of corruption and black-market business at $12.3 billion, just shy of Afghanistan’s gross domestic product. Citing U.N. statistics, they estimate that about half of that comes from the smuggling industry and illicit taxes levied on trucks crisscrossing the country. About $2.5 billion in bribes are paid each year, stolen Afghan government revenue tops $1 billion, and billions more are pilfered from foreign aid and NATO contracts, according a briefing prepared

by NATO’s anti-corruption task force.

“It has progressively gotten worse. It’s at all levels,” said one senior NATO official who works on corruption issues. Reversing the situation is “a moral imperative, and it’s an operational imperative.”

The NATO officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

20 meetings with Karzai in three weeks Petraeus has asked his subordinates to brief him more often on progress on this front — twice a week, instead of once — and is considering naming a onestar general to oversee anti-corruption work. In his first three weeks in Afghanistan, Petraeus has met with President Hamid Karzai at least 20 times, and corruption has been a regular topic of discussion, the NATO officials said.

In addition to fielding two new teams in Afghanistan to study how American money is spent through reconstruction and security contracts, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul is preparing a proposal that would require the Afghan government to meet anti-corruption benchmarks to receive U.S. funds.

“We expect they will live up to their commitments, and we will give them incentives to live up to their commitments,” a Western diplomat said.

NATO officials see some hopeful signs — particularly a string of arrests of senior Afghan army and police officials for drug trafficking, corruption and aiding the Taliban.

job subsidy money to states.

States, cities and local companies have been among the biggest advocates for extending the program beyond September. Small businesses benefit in particular since having an additional worker can make a bigger difference to a company with a small staff.

Getting a worker at no cost can also free up cash for other types of investments.

‘Injection of young new talent’ Gallery Guichard, which sells paintings and sculptures of the African diaspora on Chicago’s South Side, has hired five employees, who are all college educated or are enrolled in college, through the Illinois program.

While only one had any experience in fine arts, the gallery owners gush about the group’s value to the company.

“But not for Put Illinois to Work, we would not have been able to get this injection of young new talent and start to expand again,” said Andre Guichard, one of the owners.

Guichard said he expected to keep three of the five new workers after the program ends. But

the month before it began participating in the program, the gallery had four employees on its payroll (in addition to a few people who worked hours as needed); none of these workers are still there now. Three left on their own, said Guichard, in part because they grew frustrated after their hours were cut and their income became unpredictable.

But one — Guichard’s cousin Juan Rodriguez — was laid off.

Guichard said he wanted to keep Rodriguez, a 24-year-old, precocious curator and a “hard worker,” but decided not to because Rodriguez did not qualify for Put Illinois to Work.

Instead, Guichard hired Rodriguez’s younger brother, Patrick, whom the gallery now can employ free.

Because the program has helped his younger brother, who had been out of work a year, Rodriguez tries not to harbor a grudge.

“I think it’s basically a good program, but it needs to be somewhat less restrictive basically,” Juan Rodriguez said. “Still, the whole idea is to put people to work, but it’s a situation where it’s actually put me out of work instead.”

25 killed as Afghan bus strikes mine

By Laura King Los Angeles Times

KABUL, Afghanistan —A bomb blast tore through a crowded passenger bus on a desert highway in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing 25 of those on board and injuring about 20 others, government officials said. All were described as civilians.

Afghan and Western officials denounced the insurgency for the planting of homemade bombs along roads heavily used by civilians. So-called improvised ex-

plosive devices, or IEDs, are usually aimed at Afghan and NATO forces, but often wind up maiming and killing noncombatants instead.

NATO patrol treated the injured The bus, whose passengers included women and children, was traveling on a main road in Nimroz province, bound for the capital, Kabul, when it struck the buried bomb.

A NATO patrol came upon the charred, shattered bus and helped treat the wounded, Western military officials said.

The blast took place near the border with volatile Helmand province, which has seen heavy fighting between NATO forces and the Taliban. Military officials on Wednesday reported the death of an American service member in an insurgent attack in southern Afghanistan a day earlier.

A spokesman for the NATO force, Col. Rafael Torres, called

Agents cheated on FBI domestic surveillance tests

the bus explosion a “tragic murder of Afghan civilians.”

The district chief in Dellaram, where the blast took place, said the road was one of the most IED-laden in the country. He said Afghan authorities had already decided a police checkpoint was needed in the area, but were still awaiting police to man it.

“This is a sign of weakness, that the Taliban are placing IEDs that kill innocents,” said the chief, Assadullah Jan. “They want to demoralize the people.”

By Richard A. Serrano McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — An undisclosed number of FBI agents have cheated on tests on how to legally conduct domestic surveillance cases, FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Wednesday, but he added that he is waiting for the results of an inspector general’s investigation to determine how widespread the cheating has become.

“I’ve got a general idea. But I do not know how many” have cheated, he said in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. “And I’m not sure the IG knows how many either.”

But, Mueller added, the IG “has pointed out instances orally to me where there may be persons and a particular office where it was widespread. And it may be attributable to a lack of understanding and confusion about the procedures.”

CRASH IN PAKISTAN KILLS ALL 152 ABOARD

Investigations without evidence The FBI head was asked about the controversy by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who heads the committee. Leahy said he knew that some agents had been caught cheating on the tests, in which they were supposed to show they understood the limitations in conducting domestic surveillance and launching new cases without first having evidence of a crime. The test is mandatory, and it is put on by the bureau’s Domestic Investigation and Operations Guidelines section.

“We learned last year that a small number of agents were accused of cheating on the test. That’s what I was told,” Leahy said to Mueller.

The Associated Press

A Pakistani passenger plane crashed into the hills surrounding Islamabad on Wednesday morning and officials said all 152 people on board — including two Americans — were killed.

The Airbus A321, operated by Airblue, a private aviation service, was arriving from Karachi and trying to land in Islamabad in a heavy monsoon downpour. It crashed in the nearby Margalla hills.

Television footage of the fiery crash site showed fog and smoke rising from the mountains. Burning wreckage of the fu-

selage, wings and engines was scattered across the forest floor, and twisted metal parts hung from trees.

Although there were initial reports of five injured survivors being transported for medical treatment, the chairman of the Islamabad’s Capital Development Authority, Imtiaz Inayat Ali, later said that all 146 passengers and six crew members were killed.

Richard Snelsire, a spokesman for the U.S. Embassy here, said two Americans were among the dead. Their names were not released, and no additional information

about them was available.

The plane departed Karachi at 7:50 a.m. for the two-hour flight to Benazir Bhutto International Airport in the capital.

“It is not yet clear what is the actual cause of the plane crash,” Pervez George, a civil aviation authority spokesman, said in an interview, but he speculated that bad weather played a part.

He said the control tower lost contact with the plane as it was about to land. “We got the news later that it had crashed in the Margalla hills.”

Congress 12 dead, dozens injured approves in Mogadishu fighting crack cocaine sentencing changes McClatchy-Tribune News Service

By Jennifer Martinez McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — Addressing what both Democrats and Republicans agreed was a quarter-century-old injustice in drug sentencing, Congress gave final approval Wednesday to a bill reducing the penalty for crack cocaine offenders.

The legislation, which was welcomed by the Obama administration, reduces the disparities between sentences for powdered cocaine and crack cocaine based on the heavier weight of crack, which is often sold in crystals.

The White House said President Barack Obama would sign the bill.

In an effort to stem rampant crack cocaine use, a law was passed in 1986 that had the effect of giving crack cocaine offenders the same jail sentence as someone who possessed 100 times the same amount of powder cocaine.

The bill narrows that ratio to 18-to-1 and eradicates the mandatory five-year jail sentence for first-time offenders charged with possessing 5 grams of crack cocaine.

Under the new bill, a person in possession of 28 grams of crack cocaine would trigger that five-year jail sentence.

The bill was sponsored in the Senate by Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., who teamed up with Sen. Jeff Sessions, R.-Ala., to pass the legislation unanimously through the Senate in March.

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Twelve civilians died and 43 others were injured in fierce fighting between government forces and insurgents in the Somali capital Mogadishu, officials said Wednesday.

Fighting begin on Tuesday evening after Islamist insurgents Hizbul Islam attacked government positions near the presidential palace. The two sides exchanged automatic weapon and mortar fire.

“We have transferred 43 wounded people to the hospitals and our staff have reported 12 corpses strewn in the streets,” Ali Muse Sheikh, head of Mogadishu’s ambulance service, told the

German news agency dpa.

A Hizbul Islam spokesman said the group had briefly captured the government positions and destroyed at least one armoured vehicle.

Hizbul Islam, along with fellow insurgents al-Shabaab, is fighting to topple the weak Westernbacked government in Somalia.

Al-Shabaab, which claims links to the al-Qaida network, recently carried out its first attack outside Somali soil, targeting the Ugandan capital Kampala with twin blasts that killed 76.

Uganda and Burundi provide troops to the 6,000-strong African Union peacekeeping force propping up the government.

W B Suspected Nazi, 90, charged with murder

BEIJING — A powerful explosion ignited by a broken gas pipeline on Wednesday killed at least 12 people, injured about 300 and flattened hundreds of buildings in eastern China in the latest in a series of troubling industrial accidents.

The blast occurred at 10:15 a.m. local time Wednesday at a plastics factory in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province. According to state media, the explosion occurred when workers at the factory dug into a nearby polyethylene pipeline.

The blast was so strong many residents mistook it for an earthquake.

Almost all structures within 100 yards of the blast in the residential area of Qixia district collapsed, many of them old singlestory homes marked for demolition. Several two- and three-story buildings also collapsed.

BONN, Germany — A 90year-old man has been charged with taking part in the murder of some 430,000 Jews at a Nazi-run death camp during World War II, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Samuel Kunz, who is suspected of having been a camp guard at Belzec in German-occupied Poland, was third on the list of Israel’s Simon Wiesenthal Center.

A case against Kunz was brought before a regional court in Bonn two weeks ago, which will now decide when and how to open proceedings against him.

Ephraim Zuroff, leading Nazihunter at the Wiesenthal Center, said that it was never too late to prosecute Nazi war criminals.

Kunz has been living in the Bonn area, and had worked in an office of the federal construction ministry as a handyman until his retirement.

from press accounts that the cheating was reportedly more widespread.”

Mueller strongly defended the bureau and said his agents are instructed not to purposely target Muslim-Americans and other religious and ethnic groups for investigations. “That is at the heart of these guidelines.

And that is what we teach each of our personnel,” he said.

Tests taken with help from agents He said the guidelines require agents to undertake more than 16 hours of training, followed by an open-book test.

He said that a year ago, problems surfaced because some agents were taking it with the help of other agents. At that point, he said, the FBI’s IG office began to investigate. Since then, he said, the IG “has indicated that there are additional personnel that did not abide by those procedures.”

“We are expecting a letter from the IG pointing out other occasions, where there were abuses and the procedures were not followed, with recommendations. And we will follow those recommendations.”

Mueller added that “it is quite obviously my concern that all of our personnel understand the parameters in which we are to work.” He pledged that eventually all the agents will understand “the limitations of what we can do.”

‘Where the suits meet the boots’: Local agri-tourism alliances form

By Ed Merriman For The Bulletin

While the economy has continued to pick up, growth has become uneven in recent weeks, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday in its latest regional report. In some regions, the Fed said, economic activity had started to slow.

The report, known as the beige book, described an economy struggling under the weight of a depressed real estate market, high unemployment and wary consumers.

The manufacturing sector especially appears to be losing steam. The Federal Reserve regional report, said manufacturing activity in most of the 12 districts experienced some growth since the last report in early June.

But the pace of activity “slowed” or “leveled off” in half of them, including Cleveland and Chicago. In both cities, automobile manufacturing grew, while steel manufacturing declined.

A “neighbors helping neighbors” approach to promoting agri-tourism is spreading this summer to Deschutes and Crook counties.

Even without what were described as nude spoof calendars that drew worldwide attention in 2004 to the debut of Oregon Country Trails, the group is gaining members and setting up new agri-tourism trails across the state, including three in Deschutes and Crook counties, according to founder Danuta Pfeiffer.

“That was a worldwide success with the calendar, but we rode the crest of that wave when it was still unheard of,” Pfeiffer said. “Now with Oregon Country Trails, we need to do marketing that is far more enduring.”

While there are no plans to use calendars like the one of

Flavio DeCastilhos, owner of Tumalo Farms, seen last July in a curing room with racks of aging cheese wheels, says he’s already had some response from joining the High Desert Country Trail, part of Oregon Country Trails.

Long Tom Grange members who raised around $600,000 for Lane County schools and later

formed the first Oregon Country Trails group, Pfeiffer said the organization is becoming

a national model as the agritourism craze spreads across Oregon.

“We have a motto: ‘Where the suits meet the boots,’” said Pfeiffer, who operates Pfeiffer Winery in Lane County with her husband, Robin.

“What’s best about the Oregon Country Trails is giving urban visitors the true Old West experience,” Pfeiffer said.

“We’ve got true dude ranches where you can be a city slicker. You can drive cattle. You can milk cows. You can stay on these ranches. You can go horseback riding.”

In these tough economic times, she said becoming a member of Oregon Country Trails gives farmers, ranchers and other rural business operators a tool to add tourism income that they may not have had in the past.

Toyota changes tune on black boxes LOS ANGELES—Toyota Motor Corp. has argued for years that the electronic black boxes in its vehicles used unproven technology that could not be relied upon to determine the cause of accidents.

Now, facing continued claims that its vehicles are defective, Toyota appears to have done an about-face.

The Japanese automaker has been citing data from black boxes in Toyota and Lexus vehicles to suggest that driver error, rather than mechanical or electronic defects, is causing sudden acceleration.

In court cases, regulatory filings and dealings with customers, Toyota has for years branded the devices — called event data recorders, or EDRs — as unreliable. It has also said the tools used to read the reports are prototypes.

“It sounds duplicitous when all along Toyota has been saying this is unreliable, and now they are using it as their defense and they are not releasing the data to the public,” said Henry Jasney, senior counsel at Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a Washington group. “Until there is full disclosure of all the information in all the accidents, we can’t be sure what the data is telling us.”

Drug giant likely to bid $18.6B for rival Sanofi-Aventis is likely to make an unsolicited offer of up to $70 a share for Genzyme, raising the stakes for what could become one of the year’s biggest deals, people briefed on the matter said Wednesday.

Sanofi’s board met Wednesday and agreed to let management make a formal proposal, one of these people said.

At $70 a share, Sanofi’s bid would be worth about $18.6 billion.

Amanda Keppert, owner of Mandy’s Korner hot dog stand in San Jose, Calif., obtained a $6,500 loan from a microlender after her applications were rejected by banks.

SMALL FINANCING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES Struggling to obtain loans from big banks, many are turning to microfinance

By Kristina Shevory New York Times News Service

Amanda Keppert is convinced that she would have lost Mandy’s Korner, her hot dog stand in San Jose, Calif., if she had not received a type of loan that is more common in the third world than in the United States.

Last year, as fewer people ate out and layoffs mounted in Silicon Valley, sales plunged more than 60 percent at once-

thriving Mandy’s Korner. “My business was drowning and I was afraid it would go under,” Keppert said. While she picked up catering work at a local concert site, it wasn’t enough to pay her expenses. She had invested all of her savings in the business, and she did not want to see it go under.

But her loan applications were rejected repeatedly at banks in San Jose. Then she found Opportunity Fund, a local mi-

crolender that has teamed up with Kiva. org, one of the best-known international microlenders. Kiva, which has lent more than $150 million in 53 countries, had just begun a pilot program lending to business owners in the United States.

Through Kiva, Keppert obtained a $6,500 loan that she has three years to pay back and that carries a 6 percent interest rate.

Bend’s wages in middle of state rankings $19.29 per hour falls below the U.S. average

By David Holley The Bulletin

Workers in Bend earned the third most out of Oregon’s six metropolitan statistical areas in May 2009, according to data released Wednesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with the highest earners working in management, health care, law, and architecture and engineering.

With an average wage of $19.29 per hour in May 2009, workers in the Bend Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Deschutes County, earned 13 percent less than Portland workers ($22.15 per hour) and almost 10 percent less than Corvallis workers ($21.31 per hour). Bend also was about 7.7 percent below the U.S. average of $20.90 per hour.

Roger Lee, executive director of Economic Development for Central Oregon, said wages in Bend have risen in recent history, though it seems as if they have recently been static, if not declining.

“In this recession, I’d say we probably have more deflationary pressure on wages than some of these other areas,” Lee said. “But in the bigger picture, I think we’ll continue on a path catching up with state and national wages.”

The highest-wage earners in Bend make up the smallest portions of the work force, while some of the lowest-wage occupations had the highest employment level, according to the BLS data.

Workers in the health care practitioner and technical occupational group earned more money than anyone else, $40.50 per hour on average, but made up only 5.7 percent of the Bend MSA work force. Those working in the legal profession earned the third-highest wage on average, at $35.19 per hour, but constitute only 0.4 percent of workers.

Conversely, the sixth-lowest earners of 22 total occupational groups in the Bend MSA were those in office and administrative support, who earned $15.54 per hour and made up 17.6 percent of workers, the largest portion.

Wages The Bend Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Deschutes County, had the third highest wages of any MSA in Oregon in May 2009 at $19.29 per hour, according to data released Wednesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. However, Bend's wages are lower than the U.S. average at $20.90.

SEATTLE — Amazon.com will introduce two new versions of the Kindle e-reader on Thursday, one for $139, the lowest price yet for the device.

Amazon is hoping to convince even casual readers that they need a digital reading device. By firing another shot in an e-reader price war leading up to the holiday shop-

ping season, the e-commerce giant turned consumer electronics manufacturer is also signaling it intends to do battle with Apple and its iPad as well as the other makers of e-readers like Sony and Barnes & Noble.

Unlike previous Kindles, the $139 “Kindle Wi-Fi” will connect to the Internet using only Wi-Fi instead of a cell phone network. Amazon is also introducing a model to replace the Kindle 2, which it will sell for

the same price as that model, $189.

Both new Kindles are smaller and lighter, with higher contrast screens and crisper text.

“The hardware business for us has been so successful that we’re going to continue,” Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s chief executive, said in an interview at the company’s headquarters.

Car sales and foreclosure scams top list of consumer complaints

By Jennifer Waters MarketWatch

CHICAGO — In a sign of the economic times, consumers’ biggest gripes were about car sales and credit and debt grievances, according to a survey of complaints made to consumer agencies last year. The fastestgrowing gripe was about bogus offers to save consumers from foreclosure.

Complaints to state and local consumer agencies rose in 2009 at the same time that those agencies saw their staffing levels and resources fall, according to the latest survey conducted by the Consumer Federation of America, the National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators and the North American Consumer Protection Investigators.

“It’s clear from the nation’s economic woes that consumers and consumer agencies were hit hard last year,” Susan Grant, CFA’s consumer protection director, said on a conference call Tuesday.

The groups polled 33 city, county and state agencies in 18 states over a one-year period that ended in December. More than 300,000 complaints were logged, and the agencies cumulatively retrieved nearly $110 mil-

lion in restitution and savings for consumers.

More than half the agencies said they received more complaints in 2009 than in 2008.

Those numbers, however, do not include the calls, letters and e-mails those agencies receive from consumers looking for advice on how to resolve issues on their own. The Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs, for example, booked six times more contacts — 35,000 — than actual complaints.

The 2009 results mirror the dire economic straits many consumers faced. Credit and debt issues and phony foreclosure-aid offers moved into the No. 2 position from third place last year as more consumers faced troubles with mortgage-related fraud, debt-relief services, predatory lending and illegal or abusive debt-collection tactics.

In Georgia, the governor’s office of consumer affairs charged Dwayne Green, chief executive of Maximus Investment Group, with racketeering and theft after 34 residents alleged that he promised to keep their homes out of foreclosure for fees ranging from $250 to $500, but then did nothing for the homeowners, according to the report. Thirty-three of the homes went into foreclosure.

Top 10 consumer complaints for 2009 1. Auto: Consumers complained about misrepresentations in advertising or sales of new and used cars, lemons, faulty repairs, and towing and leasing disputes.

2. Credit and debt: Complaints of mortgage-related fraud rose, as did complaints of billing and fee disputes, credit-repair and debt-relief services, predatory lending and illegal or abusive debt-collection tactics.

3. Home improvement and construction: This was the second-biggest source of complaints in 2008, but problems decreased as new-home construction and overall home sales dipped. Consumers are still complaining, however, about shoddy work and failure to start or complete a job.

4. Utilities: Phone, cable, satellite, Internet, electric and gas services were all cited for service problems or billing disputes.

5. Retail sales: Much like auto sales, consumers objected to false advertising and other deceptive practices as well as defective merchandise, problems with rebates, coupons, gift cards and failures in delivering products.

6. Services: Consumers said companies and individuals misrepresented themselves, did shoddy work or failed to perform at all, and did not have required licenses.

7. Internet sales: Consumers said they encountered misrepresentations or other deceptive practices. They also cited the problem of never receiving delivery of online purchases.

8. Household goods: Companies misrepresented their products, didn’t deliver them or made faulty repairs on furniture or appliances, consumers said.

9. Landlord/tenant disputes/complaints about home solicitations: There was a tie for the number of complaints in each of these categories.

Tenants reported unhealthy or unsafe conditions, and said that landlords didn’t make repairs or keep their promises.

For home solicitations, consumers were unhappy about misrepresentations or failure-to-deliver problems resulting from door-todoor, telemarketing or mail solicitations.

10. Health products and services: Consumers griped about misleading claims, unlicensed practitioners or delivery failures.

Microloans Continued from B1 She used the money to buy an ice maker, a generator to save on propane costs and large signs to advertise her business.

Before the economic collapse, microfinance — the granting of very small loans, mostly to poor people — was a concept most closely associated with the developing world. But tight credit and the recession have increased the demand for smaller loans in the United States, giving microlending a higher profile and broadening its appeal.

Both Kiva and Grameen Bank, a microfinance group that is based in Bangladesh and was started by Muhammad Yunus, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his groundbreaking work in microlending, have widened their lending to Americans.

In addition, last year’s economic stimulus bill granted $54 million to the Small Business Administration for lending and technical assistance to microlenders. Cities like San Francisco and New York have expanded or introduced their own microfinance programs. This year, loan applications at many of the country’s 362 microfinance outfits, some of which have been quietly operating since the 1980s, have more than doubled.

Many of the groups expect them to keep rising as other financing streams remain tight for small companies.

“Everyone is knocking on our doors, even those with good credit,” said Galen Gondolfi, a senior loan counselor at Justine Petersen, a microfinance group based in St. Louis.

Loan qualifications Since the recession, credit cards are harder to come by, real estate values remain low — making it harder to borrow against home equity — and banks have tightened standards.

“The banking system has lots of money, but they don’t have the kinds of applicants that you

want to risk someone’s savings for,” said William Dunkelberg, chief economist of the National Federation of Independent Business and chairman of Liberty Bell Bank, based in Evesham, N.J. Small-business owners need to be reminded “that banks are not venture capitalists,” he added. “We’re not in the business of funding great ideas.”

Most banks, large or small, do not bother granting business loans of less than $50,000 because there’s not enough profit to balance the risk. By contrast, microfinance programs in the United States typically lend $35,000 or less to small businesses with five or fewer employees. They charge more than traditional banks, of course, with interest rates ranging from 5 percent to 18 percent.

Unlike mainstream banks, which focus on an applicant’s credit score, the programs consider passion and commitment to the business. Most require that loan recipients take workshops on money management, marketing and business plans, and some have income caps.

What leads microlenders to work with some of those applicants is a distinct mission.

Most are not trying to make a profit; they are trying to alleviate poverty.

“For us to make money, we’d have to charge 15 to 20 percent on our loans, “ said Jeff Reynolds, director of a program in Lyons, Neb., called REAP, which charges a maximum of 7.25 percent.

‘The only way to go’ Early this year, Craig Adams, owner of a wine shop in St. Louis, Vino Vitae, tried to get a $50,000 loan to open an adjoining restaurant and event space.

He was turned down first by his longtime bank, which said he had too much debt, and then by a second bank. A local venture capitalist insisted on fees that Adams was not willing to pay.

He was finally referred to Justine Petersen, and in March, he received a $15,000 loan with

LAND MOWING FIRE SUPPRESSION

a 12 percent interest rate. He has 10 years to repay the loan. He has had to scale back, but he is using the money on architectural plans and inventory. “It’s not the greatest way to go,” said Adams, 43, “but it’s the only way to go.”

Heavy demand for loans persuaded the Grameen Bank, which has lent $9.4 billion through more than 2,500 of its branches worldwide, to open four new branches in New York and one in Omaha, Neb., in the last two years, under the name Grameen America.

It also has plans to open offices in San Francisco, Boston, Washington, and Charlotte, N.C.. The nonprofit tries to help people who fall below the poverty line and do not have access to mainstream banking, offering first-time loans of as much as $1,500 with an interest rate of 15 percent on a declining balance. In the developing world, established businesses generally receive loans of about $380. Obviously, loans of $1,500 can only go so far in a developed nation, but they can fix up a delivery vehicle. They can also buy a street cart for a vendor, a sewing machine for a tailor or hair dyes for a hairdresser.

Unlike other microlenders, Grameen requires its borrowers to join a group of entrepreneurs that meets weekly. Borrowers are also required to save a percentage of their weekly income — at least $2 — and to pay a portion of their loan’s principal and interest.

It teamed up with microfinance groups that upload profiles of individual entrepreneurs and their loan requests to www.Kiva.org.

People browse the profiles, decide which ones, if any, they would like to lend money to, and then Kiva disburses the money through the microlender (the Opportunity Fund in Keppert’s case). The individual lenders get their money back when a business owner repays the loan.

The pilot program that Keppert took part in has been available in California and New York since last summer. “It seemed very timely,” said Premal Shah, president of Kiva. “People talk about buying local — why not lend local? It’s a personal stimulus package if you’re the working poor.”

Overseas, Kiva borrowers can seek loans of up to $3,000, while in the United States, borrowers can take out loans of as much as $10,000. Since its American debut, Kiva has helped lend $900,000 to 137 American companies. The average American loan is about $5,600 and has a term of about two years and three months.

“People are compelled to do something in their backyard,” said Gina Harman, president and chief executive of Accion USA, a microlender and partner in Kiva’s American pilot program. “Suddenly, giving $1 to someone in Ghana isn’t as important as giving to someone here.”

The middleman Kiva, the organization that backed Keppert’s hot dog stand, works much like a middleman.

Bringing clarity to confusing 401(k) fees

By Tara Siegel Bernard

Phyllis Borzi, an assistant secretary of labor, says that 401(k) participants aren’t the only ones who are confused about fees; often, employers don’t understand how much they are paying for services.

New York Times News Service

The next time you receive your 401(k) statement, do this experiment: Don’t just look at your latest balance. Try to figure how much you’re paying in fees.

It’s not necessarily easy, right?

If you’re lucky to work at a large company that uses a big 401(k) provider like, say, Vanguard, the fees you pay may not require much decoding. But for many workers, particularly those at medium and small companies, coming up with a figure could involve a phone call or two, wading through a fair bit of paper and fumbling for a calculator once you have it all in place.

Even when you come up with a number, it’s almost impossible to determine how it compares with the fees paid by workers in the office building across the street. Keep in mind that paying only slightly higher fees can easily add up to tens of thousands of dollars — or more — over the course of your career. Because you’re probably going to be relying on your 401(k) for retirement, you should be entitled to know every last cent you’re paying.

And don’t assume that your employer knows how much or whom it’s paying, either, given the increasingly complex ways that 401(k) providers are compensated.

But take heart. Finally, after working on them for years, the Labor Department released rules earlier this month that take a first step toward more clarity.

The rules make it easier for employers to make apples-to-apples comparisons when shopping for 401(k)-type plans.

In the dark “Not only do the participants not know what fees are charged, often times the plan sponsor doesn’t understand how much they are paying for things,” Phyllis Borzi, assistant secretary of labor for the Employee Benefits Security Administration, said in an interview. “This will be particularly helpful for smaller and medium-size companies because they don’t have the leverage to make the big companies give them this type of information.”

How, you may ask, can an employer set up an 401(k) plan for its workers and not know how much it costs? Employers may generally know the overall expense, but attempting to untangle the specifics is where the exercise gets murky because many 401(k) providers “bundle” their services — for record-keeping, investment man-

agement and custodial services, among other things.

“I’ve seen small companies, and I’ve seen very large companies that have hundreds of millions of dollars in the plan who do not understand what they are paying,” said Jeff Marzinsky, a principal with Milliman, a consulting firm.

Confusing matters further, many 401(k) service providers may also engage in a practice known as revenue sharing. In that case, a mutual fund, typically one whose investments are actively managed, pays a 401(k) provider to handle some of the administrative duties (like record-keeping) associated with being in the plan. But the arrangements are often so complicated that it’s not always easy for employers to determine if investors are getting the best deal, even though that’s their responsibility.

“The service providers have figured out very creative ways to

make the disclosures indecipherable to the plan sponsors, and if not indecipherable, plain out misleading,” said David Loeper, author of “Stop the Retirement RipOff: How to Avoid Hidden Fees and Keep More of Your Money.”

Shining a light But starting July 2011, the companies that provide 401(k) plans and services, as well as pension plan providers, will be required to spell out their fees when they collect at least $1,000 for their services. The companies will also be required to break out how much they are charging for investment services like record-keeping.

Finally, the 401(k) provider must disclose any compensation it is collecting directly from the plan’s assets, as well as any indirect compensation it may receive from, say, outside vendors like

mutual fund companies. And if any costs are still not clear to employers, they can essentially tattle on providers on a form they file with the Labor Department.

“We are pleased to see that Labor has taken an important step, because this is a really thorny issue, one that needs more light shed on it,” said Barbara Bovbjerg, a managing director at the Government Accountability Office who has analyzed the 401(k) landscape for Congress. “It’s about helping fiduciaries know what conflicts may exist among service providers.”

Those rules, however, are only the first step. The Labor Department is expected to issue a second set of rules in the next few months that are supposed to make it easier for individual investors to determine what fees they’re paying.

The clearer, the better So will that second set of rules go far enough?

If the final rules hew closely to the original proposal, all employers who provide 401(k)-type plans will be required to spell out all investment-related fees and plan administrative expenses at least once a year. Costs for individual services, like taking out a loan or receiving investment advice, will also be provided.

On top of that, statements sent to investors would also specify which investments are actively managed by a portfolio manager (and tend to carry higher fees) and which track an index. Performance information would also be included, as well as a comparative benchmark.

That’s a great start, but I’d add a few more items. First, will there

be any explanation about the difference between an actively managed and passive investment? I’m willing to bet that most people don’t know the difference, and they should.

I’d also require that the plan always separate administrative fees (whether they are being deducted from investment returns or included in a mutual fund’s expense ratio) from investment expenses.

Matthew Hutcheson, an independent fiduciary who oversees plans for employers, said lumping them together could be misleading.

“It gives the false impression that the more paid to investment managers, the better those funds will perform,” Hutcheson said in a 2008 letter to the Labor Department commenting on the issue.

Next, once investors have information on the fees, it only makes sense to give them an industry benchmark to figure out whether those fees are reasonable.

Some financial industry officials argue that providing too much information could be confusing and potentially discourage investors from participating. Others say they don’t want to give the impression that they are charging more fees for 401(k)s than other investment vehicles.

“Ultimately, mid to large defined contribution plans are typically less expensive than a retail IRA,” said Pam Hess, director of retirement research at Hewitt Associates, a plan consultant and administrator.

That may be true, but I’d argue that we should treat 401(k)s, which nearly 60 million Americans are relying on for retirement, differently. The more clear and digestible the disclosures on costs, the better.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economic recovery will remain slow deep into next year, held back by shoppers reluctant to spend and employers hesitant to hire, according to an Associated Press survey of leading economists.

The latest quarterly AP Economy Survey shows economists have turned gloomier in the past three months. They foresee weaker growth and higher un-

Continued from B1 The lowest-paid occupation, food preparation and service, received an average of $10.89 per hour and made up 11.2 percent of total employed people.

The data is derived from the semiannual Occupational Employment Survey taken by the BLS and state work force agencies, which is the Oregon Employment Department locally.

The survey’s estimates are derived from an overall sample of 1.2 million groups nationally, according to BLS. Cost of living is a long-standing issue related to Bend’s wages. Though the Bend MSA has consistently had lower wages than the Portland MSA, Bend’s housing prices were higher until recently.

The median sales price of a single-family home in Bend peaked at $396,000 in May 2007, according to the Bratton Report compiled by the Bend-based Bratton Appraisal Group, while Portland peaked at $302,000 in 2007, according to The Oregonian. Prices are now lower in Bend, with its median price hitting $217,000 in June 2010 and Portland’s hitting $240,000.

Additionally, Central Oregon has had some of the highest unemployment in the state in the last couple years. Deschutes County had the fourth-highest rate in June, at 14.2 percent.

Earlier this month, Headwaters Economics, a Bozeman, Mont.-based firm, released a study about how to make Deschutes County more competitive in attracting businesses. Ben Alexander, the associate director, said high housing prices and lower wages make it difficult for the area to attract businesses and work force.

Lee, of EDCO, said that issue continues to be a problem for Central Oregon and is something on which his organization is working.

employment than they did before. As a result, the economists think the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates near zero until at least next spring.

Yet despite their expectation of slower growth, a majority of the 42 economists surveyed believe the recovery remains on track, raising hopes that the economy can avoid falling back into a “double-dip” recession.

Audette said tourism overall is a nearly $700 million industry in Central Oregon, and she sees a growing interest in agri-tourism.

“This is creating new patterns in tourism,” Audette said.

“It is not just the traditional drive to see crops and livestock,” Audette said. “It includes the very cool llama farms we have in the region, the distilling of spirits and how they’re made, including the crops coming out of the ground.”

Pfeiffer said the Oregon Country Trails organization hasn’t received any state funds.

But officials at Travel Oregon, the state’s tourism agency, say agri-tourism is on the agenda as an up-and-coming marketing niche.

The organization did receive a $5,000 grant from Lane County to print brochures for that area’s trails, but other than that, most funding comes from individual donations and the $100 annual membership fees.

At the state level, the Oregon Department of Agriculture has been supportive and helpful, along with the Cascade Pacific Resource Conservation and Development Council, which named Oregon Country Trails its organization of the year.

Dana Martin, with the Oregon State University Extension office in Redmond, is helping set up the trail groups in Central Oregon.

Continued from B1 The three Central Oregon Trails groups formed this spring include The Good Earth Country Trail, out of Terrebonne; the High Desert Country Trail, out of Bend, Redmond and Tumalo; and the Crooked River Country Trail, out of Crook County.

The variety of businesses joining the trail groups in Central Oregon runs the gamut from cattle, horse, buffalo and llama ranches to a goat dairy that processes goat cheese, wineries and distilleries, a saddle maker and others.

On Aug. 15, in conjunction with the Slow Foods August Bounty event, the Good Earth Country Trail kickoff is planned. Kickoff events are still in the planning for August or September for the other two trails in Central Oregon, but members say they’re already seeing benefits from joining.

“This is just getting started this summer, but we have already seen some response,” said Flavio DeCastilhos, owner of Tumalo Farms, an artisan goat milk and cheese producer. A bicycle touring group found his goat dairy through the trail map and website at www.oregon countrytrails.com.

“It is a very exciting concept of neighbors working together,” said Vicki Schmidt, co-owner of

on a range of indicators, including employment, consumer spending and inflation. Among their forecasts: • Economic growth the rest of this year and early next year will weaken, to less than 3 percent.

•The unemployment rate will be no lower at the end of the year than it is now — 9.5 percent.

• State budget shortfalls pose a “significant” or “severe” risk to the national economy.

There’s a lot of people, from the city and the country, who don’t know how to find the places to go see, Schmidt said.

“We banded together, and for a very modest fee, we are giving people a printed map and brochure. The distribution sources have already been developed,” Schmidt said.

Oregon Country Trails operates on a philosophy of neighbors helping neighbors, in which farmers, ranchers, artisans and operators of dude ranches and other rural businesses band together to do collaborative agritourism marketing in their area.

They each pay a $100 annual membership fee. The fee covers the cost of featuring each farm or business on the Oregon Country Trails website, and in a brochure map distributed to visitor centers and chambers of commerce offices throughout the region.

“We think it is wonderful,” said Alana Audette, president and CEO of the Central Oregon Visitors Association. “Anytime there is a grass-roots effort that builds tourism markets, it is very beneficial for the entire

Kindle Continued from B1 “I predict there will be a 10th-generation and a 20thgeneration Kindle. We’re well-situated to be experts in purpose-built reading devices.”

When Amazon introduced the Kindle in 2007, Bezos described it as a must-have for frequent travelers and people who read “two, three, four books at the same time.” Now, Amazon hopes that at $10 less than the least expensive reading devices from Barnes & Noble and Sony, the new Kindle has broken the psychological price barrier for even occasional readers or a family wanting multiple Kindles.

“At $139, if you’re going to read by the pool, some people might spend more than that on a swimsuit and sunglasses,” Bezos said.

Some analysts are predicting that e-readers could become this year’s hot holiday gift. James McQuivey, a principal analyst specializing in consumer electronics at Forrester Research, said a price war could for the first time reduce at least the price of one e-reader to under $100, often the tipping point for impulse gadget purchases.

Amazon has slashed the price of the Kindle at a speed that is unusual, even for electronic gadgets. By last year, the price of the device was to $259, down from its starting price of $399 in late 2007. In June, hours after Barnes & Noble dropped the price of its Nook e-reader to $199, Amazon dropped the price of the Kindle to $189. The Kindle DX, which has a larger, 9.7inch screen, is $379.

With Amazon’s latest announcement, it is again waging a price war. Barnes & Noble offers a Wi-Fi version of the Nook for $149, and Sony offers the Reader Pocket Edition, which does not have WiFi, for $150.

Of course, price is just one factor people consider before making a purchase. The

quality of the product, adequate inventory and appealing marketing are just as important, said Eric Anderson, a professor of marketing at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

But as the e-reader marketplace has grown crowded “there are lots of substitutes out there so the only way they can create demand is by lowering the price,” he said.

Still, the iPad’s $499-and-up price tag has not stifled demand for that device. Though the iPad does much more than display books, customers often choose between the two, and are willing to pay much more for the iPad because it is an Apple product, said Dale Achabal, executive director of the Retail Management Institute at Santa Clara University. “The price point Apple can go to is quite a bit higher than the price point other firms have to go to that don’t have the same ease of use, design and functionality,” he said.

Apple says it has sold 3.3 million iPads since introducing it in April. Amazon does not release Kindle sales figures, but says that sales tripled in the month after its last price cut.

Two of the most compelling aspects of the iPad — a color display and touch screen — are elements that some customers have been yearning for on the Kindle.

Keep waiting, Bezos said.

“There will never be a Kindle with a touch screen that inhibits reading. It has to be done in a different way. It can’t be a metoo touch screen,” he said. Earlier this year, Amazon bought Touchco, a startup specializing in touch-screen technology, but current touch-screen technology adds reflections and glare and makes it hard to shift one’s hands while reading for long periods of time, he said. Color is also “not ready for prime time,” Bezos said.

The new Kindles, which will ship Aug. 27, have the same 6inch reading area as earlier Kindles but weigh about 15 percent less and are 21 percent smaller.

The Kindles have twice the storage, up to 3,500 books.

Hulu’s plunge Military cutbacks redirect Boeing to commercial side in viewership highlights challenges of online metrics

By Christopher Drew

New York Times News Service

After a surge in military spending sustained Boeing through a downturn in civilian orders and manufacturing problems with a new jetliner over the last decade, the pendulum is swinging the other way.

Just as the Pentagon is slowing its spending, orders for commer-

cial aircraft are showing a surprising recovery.

Boeing’s chief executive, W. James McNerney Jr., described the shift for analysts Wednesday as he discussed the company’s second-quarter results.

He said the company might increase production of its best-selling 737 passenger jets more than planned if its suppliers could

keep up. But the belt-tightening at the Pentagon is creating so much pressure that Boeing’s military business is likely to cut jobs through layoffs and attrition.

Boeing, based in Chicago, has raised its forecasts for a rebound in commercial air traffic. Boeing and its main rival, Airbus, both booked more plane orders than expected last week at the Farn-

borough International Air Show in Britain.

As a result, McNerney said, Boeing will review whether there is an “opportunity beyond” plans to increase its monthly production of the single-aisle 737 to 35 planes in 2012 from 31.5 now.

McNerney made the comments in a conference call on Boeing’s second-quarter results,

which reflected a sharp drop in plane sales caused by the recent recession.

Boeing said its profit fell 21 percent to $787 million, or $1.06 a share, from $998 million, or $1.41 a share, in the year-earlier quarter. Revenue declined 9 percent to $15.57 billion from $17.15 billion.

The company’s shares fell $1.30, to $67.32 Wednesday.

Hulu has been hailed as the future of television, but its reputation has been based in part on measurement techniques rooted in the past.

The high-flying online TV site frequently is touted as among the most popular video sites in the U.S., based on data from the industry-leading ComScore measurement service. A recent overhaul of ComScore’s methods, however, brought Hulu’s numbers crashing to Earth.

Hulu’s estimated viewership shriveled to 24 million in June, from 43.5 million in May, under ComScore’s new methodology.

It was the most dramatic decline of any of the top Internet video sites. Now Hulu, long proud of its ranking as the Internet’s No. 2 most popular site, is barely hanging on in the top 10, according to ComScore.

The site’s statistical fall from grace dramatically underscores one of the main impediments to the Internet reaching its full financial potential as an entertainment medium: reliably measuring the size of online audiences.

High-stakes game Wildly divergent audience estimates and erratic month-to-month fluctuations have bedeviled websites since the days of dial-up Internet access. As the Internet matured and attracted more advertisers, media and technology companies began demanding a trusty umpire to make the calls about which sites are on first, second and so on down the line.

The stakes for getting it right have never been higher. Advertisers are expected to spend $25.1 billion this year in online advertising in the U.S. alone, according to researcher EMarketer.

“The inconsistencies across methodologies and venders and the cacophony of numbers in the marketplace are clearly confusing,” said Sherrill Mane, a senior vice president of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, a trade group that has been advocating for greater accountability in online measurement. “They’re truly hampering the growth of the medium.”

The three dominant measurement firms — ComScore, Nielsen and Quantcast — have been working since 2007 with an independent media auditing group to make improvements so the Web data they report don’t have a funhouse quality, in which the same site’s traffic can look emaciated or bulging, depending on the viewer’s angle.

“It’s maddening,” said Tim Hanlon, a Chicago digital media strategist. “You would think 15 years on, we would be in a better place.

But we’re still talking about fundamental discrepancies in things like page counts.”

Real consequences Getting an accurate read of online audiences is important to media planners, who need a realistic picture of the digital landscape to determine where to buy advertising and how to allocate a budget.

Traffic numbers also serve as a barometer in identifying which sites are on the rise and which are in decline.

“In the digital space, we’re always looking for the next big thing. We’re trying to predict where audiences are going,” said Michael Hayes, managing director in charge of digital operations for Initiative, a marketing firm. “Young audiences shift fairly quickly, so we’re looking for where the audiences have been shifting to, to put our advertisers in front.”

Failing to crack the top 10 or 15 in a particular ranking can have a profound financial consequences for websites as well, especially digital startups that are looking to attract advertisers or seeking funding from potential investors.

“The first few years of our business, we were so dramatically underrepresented and misrepresented by a bunch of these different systems it delayed our ability to really create a sales organization,” said Break Media Chief Executive Keith Richman, whose Break.com site hosts original and user-created videos targeted at 18- to 34-year-old men.

“If you’re a small one- or twoman shop and you’re underrepresented, you’re kind of DOA,” Richman said.

LILY RAFF

Bend’s belated ADA bash I

attended a birthday party Monday afternoon, thrown by the city of Bend to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It even had balloons and cake.

Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the party should have included a few other things.

A heartfelt apology, for one.

In a statement he read to kick off the shindig, City Manager Eric King touted Bend’s goal to become a leader in universal access in Oregon “and the world.”

It’s a little late for that.

The ADA just embarked on its third decade. And while the city has made great strides in accessibility, most of its achievements have come not from city leadership but from citizen complaints, lawsuits and subsequent oversight by the U.S. Department of Justice.

In 1990, when President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law, Bend was a sleepy town of just 20,469. The current City Hall hadn’t been built yet. There was just one brewery. In other words, Bend was a different place.

As construction boomed and Central Oregon became a destination for aging retirees, the city had an opportunity, merely by following the law, to become a true leader in accessibility.

Most homes, regardless of when they are built, are exempt from ADA guidelines. Older buildings, too.

But imagine if every public building, street corner and parking lot built in Bend during the last two decades met the guidelines for universal accessibility.

We would have sloped curb ramps, wide doorways, spacious bathroom stalls and automatic or lightweight doors all over the place. These amenities are useful not only for the disabled but for the elderly, toddlers and stroller-pushers, too.

Instead, development spread through the city with little attention to the ADA. Examples include taxpayer-funded projects like Deschutes County’s downtown Deschutes Services Building, Bend’s $9.7 million Centennial Parking Plaza, and the Bend Area Transit system. All were in violation of the ADA. Violations plagued the Tower Theatre and Bend River Promenade renovations, too. And the list goes on.

Bend’s current City Council claims to be different from previous ones. They passed a proclamation last month in support of the ADA. But it sounded an awful lot like the proclamation that a different council passed back in 2005.

And this council has already fallen into the familiar pattern of whining about the cost of physical upgrades.

Even at Monday’s party, Councilor Tom Greene offered this backhanded apology: “When you have an unfunded mandate from the federal government, sometimes you stumble a little, and I do apologize for that.”

What Greene missed is that the city would have saved cash by observing ADA construction guidelines in the first place. Yes, the city is spending about $450,000 to install ramps on curbs built since 1993. But those curbs should have met ADA standards the first time they were approved by the city.

Just last year — under the leadership of our current City Council — the city appealed to the Department of Justice, claiming it couldn’t afford to upgrade all of the curbs it had agreed to by 2011.

The DOJ refused to amend the settlement agreement, at least until the city completes a survey of intersections that it was asked to provide in 2004.

That brings me to another thing that was missing from Monday’s celebration: people with disabilities.

I noted just a few, although many disabilities are invisible, so there were likely more I didn’t count.

But according to the 2000 Census, one in five Americans are permanently disabled. An estimated one in 10 have compromised mobility.

In all likelihood, Bend has more than 8,000 residents for whom the ADA is what guarantees their right to get out of a car, cross a street or use a restroom.

It’s no wonder, then, that so many people with disabilities are fed up with the city’s reluctance to uphold the law.

When the city stops whining about costs and starts making ADA-compliance a real priority, maybe more Bend residents will feel like celebrating.

Help proposed for small banks But local bankers aren’t sure the $30B fund Congress is considering would do the trick

By Keith Chu The Bulletin

WASHINGTON — A fund to bolster small banks is slated to advance in the U.S. Senate today as part of a larger small-business bill, but Central Oregon bankers said they’re not sure the measure will help them.

The $30 billion fund would lend money to banks with less than $10 billion in assets, with the goal that those banks would increase their own lending to small businesses. Banks that increased

their lending by at least 10 percent compared to last year would pay an interest rate as low as 1 percent. Banks that don’t increase lending would pay 7 percent interest.

Bank of the Cascades CEO Patty Moss said it’s too soon to tell whether the fund would help her bank, which has struggled to raise funds as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, “The rules have changed so often on these programs I don’t think any bank

IN CONGRESS could give an indication of whether or not they would participate until they really know what all the rules were,” Moss said.

Cascade Bancorp reported about $2.1 billion in assets as of March 31, according to the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Community banks are in the best position to judge which businesses deserve loans, said U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., on a call with reporters.

Merkley proposed a similar fund last year.

“They know the businesses and the personalities and they can utilize their expertise to make decisions about wise investments,” Merkley said.

Democrats have strenuously fought the notion that the fund is a “Mini-Me” version of the 2008 Troubled Asset Relief Program that bailed out Wall Street banks.

“This is not another TARP, this is not another bailout,” said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., in a Senate floor speech.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated the fund would generate about $1 billion in revenue for the government.

Makena Jordison, 12, of Redmond, gets ready to dive in for another big bite during the annual pie-eating competition at the Deschutes County Fair on Wednesday.

By Lillian Mongeau The Bulletin

REDMOND — ontestants in the annual pie-eating competition at the Deschutes County Fair on Wednesday spoke of a variety of training regimens and game plans.

Phoebe Borden, 10, of Redmond, had a straightforward plan: “Just eat it,” she said.

Phoebe was signed up to compete in the first heat of the 5- to 11-year-old category. She was confident of her chances because of her practice with fried chicken. She said she could easily polish off a pound of it, so pie would be no problem.

Makena Jordison, 12, of Redmond, was ready to take on her age category, 12- to 15year-olds, with gusto. “I’m just going to eat my heart out,” she said.

Each round of the contest pitted up to 21

contestants from the same age category against each other, competing to be the first to polish off an entire pie. First prize was $10, and ideas on how to spend the winnings swirled among hopeful contestants before the eating started.

Paige Montgomery, 13, of Redmond, planned to buy a snow cone. Lane Johnson, 11, of Redmond, planned to spend his prize money on video games. Makena said she would donate her $10 to a friend’s sister who has cancer.

As the first round of pies was set out, the tension rose.

Aspen Lakes project protected under new resort rules Commissioners OK exemption that helps Cyrus family development

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Deschutes County officials approved a provision Wednesday to protect the Cyrus family’s resort development plans near Sisters as part of two ordinances to update Deschutes County’s resort zone.

Land must be within the destination resort zone before property owners can apply for a resort. The ordinances approved Wednesday establish procedures

that allow land to be removed or added to the zone, which officials said needed an update because it was too large and included land not actually eligible for resorts.

The County Commission spent two months deciding whether to include a provision to protect the Cyruses’ resort plans, and county planners began working a year ago on the ordinances to update the destination resort zone.

The exception approved with the ordinances Wednesday al-

lows a unique type of subdivision, known as a cluster development, to remain on the county’s destination resort zone map by default.

Meanwhile, all other subdivisions will be removed from the map unless property owners ask to remain zoned for resorts.

There are only four cluster developments in Deschutes County, one of which is the Cyruses’ Aspen Lakes subdivision.

See Resorts / C2

Different perspectives “What they did today just maintains the status quo for us.”

— Matt Cyrus, whose family is developing the Aspen Lakes destination resort

“It’s clear by their vote that the County Commission continues to put special development interests ahead of the public interest.”

Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the two ordinances by emergency, which means the new rules will take effect as soon as the commissioners sign them.

They did so on the advice of a county planner, so the county can save money by sending out notifications of the changes to affected property owners in their fall tax bills.

The Cyruses face another hurdle to their plans to convert their existing Aspen Lakes golf course and subdivision into a destination resort.

PremierWest Bank began the foreclosure process in March and the property was scheduled to be auctioned Tuesday, but Matt Cyrus said the bank has postponed the sale while the family negotiates a deal.

Cyrus said he did not know how long the auction was postponed, and a call to PremierWest Bank was not returned Wednesday afternoon.

Merry Ann Moore, secretary for the Sierra Club Juniper Group, lives in a subdivision the Cyruses developed across from Aspen Lakes and said the commissioners’ decision contradicted public input. “It’s clear by their vote (Wednesday) that the County Commission continues to put special development interests ahead of the public interest,�

Moore said. “The citizens have been saying very loudly we have enough resorts in Deschutes County, and our elected officials just don’t seem to be able to hear that.�

Baney voted for a different exception in June that would have helped the Cyruses retain resort zoning, then said she regretted the vote and tried unsuccessfully to remove the latest exception.

Baney said Wednesday’s vote accomplished the commissioners’ original intention to shrink the destination resort zone.

Since Commissioners Dennis Luke and Alan Unger favored the ordinances and the exception for pre-1990 cluster developments, Baney reasoned that she would have only drawn out an inevitable approval if she had voted “no.�

Without a unanimous vote to adopt the ordinances by emergency, the process would have taken longer and cost more taxpayer money because the county would not have been able to send out notices to landowners in their fall tax statements, Baney said.

After saying she had made her point, Baney said, “I’ll get off my soapbox.� “Good,� Luke said.

The decision was not a mistake, Luke said. “Clearly, the Cyruses have a lot of work to do,� Luke said. “Personally, I don’t think they’re going to make it.�

But since the subdivision the Cyruses developed is currently zoned for a resort, it is their property right to keep that designation, Luke said.

Commissioners explain vote Despite the unanimous vote, the discussion that followed grew slightly contentious, as one commissioner sought to explain her “yes� vote and another commissioner wanted to move on. “While I’m adamantly opposed to adding that (exception), the remaining 30-some items make great sense,� Commissioner Tammy Baney said of the ordinances.

SPOKANE — The expected arrival of invasive mussels in the Columbia River Basin could cost $100 million a year to fight, according to a new report done for the Northwest Power and Conservation Council.

The dime-sized freshwater mussels pose a threat to dams, irrigation systems and native fish species, said the report from a panel of economists. “While the mussels have not infested the Columbia River Basin yet, it may be just a matter of time,� the council said in a statement, adding that efforts should still be made to stop or at least delay an invasion.

Council chairman Bruce Measure said the report shows a rapid response and public education are critical to that effort.

Quagga mussels and their close cousin zebra mussels were introduced to the Great Lakes in the ballast of ships from eastern Europe and the Ukraine in the 1980s.

They have spread and caused millions of dollars in cleanup and repair costs in the Northeast, Midwest and Southwest.

The best deterrent is a combination of watercraft inspections, public information and continued scientific research, the report said.

Eradicating the mussels is virtually impossible. They attach to almost anything and can clog drains and pipes, freeze up cooling systems, kill off native species and render power boats inoperable.

In the Columbia River Basin, the new report estimated costs of cleaning water intakes and related equipment at federal hydropower dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers at $16 million a year, plus $5 million a year for other dams.

Cleaning spillway gates, fish bypass screens and related equipment would cost about $3 million to $10 million a year at the federal dams. Replacing filtration systems at 20 fish hatcheries would cost $1 million each. Cleaning recreation facilities, including docks and boats, could run $50 million or more a year.

The mussels are transported between water bodies on boats and other watercraft that are being moved by trailer.

O Judge won’t stop dam removal Portland council

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

GRANTS PASS — Work to remove Gold Ray Dam on the Rogue River resumed Wednesday after a federal judge refused to extend a temporary stop work order.

U.S. District Judge Owen Panner ruled that four local people trying to prevent removal of the century-old, defunct hydroelectric dam near Gold Hill were unlikely to win their lawsuit. The lawsuit argues that their civil rights were violated because a county hearings officer who granted a key permit was inherently biased because he is paid by the county.

Stopping removal of the dam was not in the public interest, and the plaintiffs had not shown they would suffer any harm, the

Court overturns murder conviction

“These challengers had no case from the get-go.

The only thing historic about this dam is it has been killing wild salmon for over a century.”

— Pete Frost, attorney representing conservation groups judge added.

County administrator Danny Jordan called the lawsuit frivolous, intended to delay removal so that the county would lose a $5 million federal stimulus grant.

Deadline for removal is the end of October.

The county has obtained and complied with all necessary permits, and would go ahead with dam removal even it federal funding was lost, Jordan said.

The contractor resumed work

on a coffer dam to divert the river so the actual dam could be removed, Jordan said. The week lost to a temporary restraining order will not significantly delay progress.

Jack Swift, a Grants Pass attorney and tea party sponsor representing the plaintiffs, said the ruling made it unlikely they could stop removal of the dam.

“Once it’s breached, the game is over and rightfully or wrongfully, what are you going to do

about it,” he said.

Lead plaintiff Charles Boyer has said he envisioned the preservation of the dam and the historically significant architecture of the powerhouse as a tourist attraction along a scenic highway that runs parallel to the river.

Other plaintiffs living upstream of the dam have complained they would lose wetlands created by the backed-up water.

Their appeals to the county and the state Land Use Board of Appeals have all been rejected.

“These challengers had no case from the get-go,” said Pete Frost, an attorney representing conservation groups that intervened in the case. “The only thing historic about this dam is it has been killing wild salmon for over a century.”

IN-FLIGHT MEAL SERVICE

Father still at large The neighbor called police, who later arrested Lopez Minjarez at his home. But his father had fled and the court noted he has not been seen since.

Lopez Minjarez claimed at his trial that his father dropped him off at a fast food restaurant and returned without the victim.

Prosecutors, however, argued that Lopez Minjarez and his father took the victim to a wooded rural area west of Portland commonly used for target shooting and killed Lopez Jovel.

Skeletal remains were found months later by bowhunters.

Prosecutors argued that Lopez Minjarez could be convicted of murder even though they lacked evidence about whether the victim was killed

by Lopez Minjarez, his father, or both.

But defense attorneys objected during trial to a uniform jury instruction typically issued by judges that says a person can be held criminally responsible “for any act or other crime that (was) committed as a natural and probable consequence of the planning, preparation or commission of the intended crime.”

The appeals court opinion

by Chief Judge David Brewer concluded the instruction “is not an accurate statement of the law and that it probably created an erroneous impression of the law in the minds of the jurors.”

The Associated Press PORTLAND — The Portland City Council has approved a $1.6 million settlement in the police custody death of a mentally ill Oregon man.

James Chasse suffered broken ribs that punctured his lung and led to his death in September 2006 after officers tackled him on a street corner.

Chasse, 42, suffered from schizophrenia.

His family sued the city, Multnomah County and an ambulance company in federal court.

Settled with county, ambulance company The settlement with his family approved by the Portland City Council on Wednesday was announced in May. The family settled earlier with Multnomah County for $925,000 and a reported $600,000 with the ambulance company.

About $767,000 of the $1.6 million settlement will come out of the city’s insurance and claims fund. The remaining $833,000 will come from the city’s secondary insurance carrier.

It took the Portland Police Bureau three years to complete an internal review of the death, leading city Auditor LaVonne Griffin-Valade to order an outside review.

The Associated Press PORTLAND — The Oregon Court of Appeals has overturned an aggravated murder conviction for a Washington County man found guilty of helping his father kidnap and kill another man.

The court ruled Wednesday that jury instructions misstated the law on accomplice responsibility and could have influenced the murder verdict against Petronilo Lopez Minjarez.

But the ruling affirmed his conviction for kidnapping, burglary and assault in the November 2004 death of Darvin Lopez Jovel, 18, of Aloha.

The Minjarez family believed Lopez Jovel’s father was having an affair with the mother of Petronilo Lopez Minjarez.

According to the opinion, Lopez Minjarez and his father went to the home of Lopez Jovel’s father but he was not home. Instead, Lopez Minjarez and his father found Lopez Jovel.

Lopez Minjarez testified that his father shot and wounded Lopez Jovel with a .38-caliber handgun. They dragged the victim to a pickup truck but were confronted by a neighbor before they drove off.

The most widespread species of swallow in the world, barn swallows show remarkable maneuverability in flight as they feed on flying insects. They make frequently use man-made structures, where they construct a cup-shaped nest.

O B Casino backers sue to get measure on ballot PORTLAND — The backers of what would be the first non-tribal casino in Oregon have gone to court hoping to show state officials were wrong to keep their measure off the November ballot.

Two developers want to open a casino near Portland, but the state constitution would prohibit that.

Secretary of State Kate Brown said Tuesday the developers didn’t have enough valid signatures for an amendment to allow the casino.

The developers said they filed suit Wednesday seeking access to the signatures that were rejected.

They said they are sure Brown’s office made errors.

Meanwhile, a measure to continue allocating a share of state lottery proceeds for parks and fish and wildlife habitat was approved for a statewide vote. It had about 3,000 more signatures than needed.

Salem group pushes for more solar power SALEM — A group in Salem wants to see a surge in the use of solar power by city homes.

Solarize Salem wants to add solar electric panels to 100 homes in Salem by next year.

The community group is basing the plan on a model started in Portland.

It starts with a community group organizing a campaign to connect homeowners interested in solar power. They find a contractor, attend educational workshops and as a group get a bulk rate that saves 10 percent to 30 percent.

Missing boy’s stepmom won’t contest divorce PORTLAND — The stepmother of a missing Oregon boy has decided not to contest the divorce sought by the father of Kyron Horman.

In court documents filed Wednesday, Terri Horman said “intense scrutiny” by law enforcement and media prevent her lawyer from handling the divorce in an “effective and orderly fashion.”

Her request, called a motion for abatement, would allow a judge to dismiss the case from a trial docket.

Terri Horman was the last person known to have seen 7-yearold Kyron, who vanished from his school on June 4, setting off a massive search and investigation that has resulted in national media attention.

Magnitude 5.3 quake reported off coast COOS BAY — A magnitude 5.3 earthquake was reported off the Oregon coast Wednesday morning.

The National Earthquake Information Center said the quake was located about 85 miles west of Coos Bay at a depth of more than 6 miles. It occurred at just after 7 a.m.

The federal government’s West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center reported the quake was not big enough to generate a tsunami.

“We are relieved that the case has settled, but it is a very rough form of justice: the truth is that a civil suit seems to be the only form of justice that our local system will allow when police are involved in a killing,” the family wrote.

They ended with a tribute to James, a “painfully shy” man who preferred books and comic books over talking.

“James, may you rest in peace.

We love you and we miss you.”

Ballot measures have problem with numbers

S

tatistics are one of the leading causes of people getting mad. We don’t know that for sure, but we can say with a high degree of confidence there are heaps of examples. The

final numbers can cause the commotion or it can be the way they were crunched.

Kevin Mannix, the former Republican candidate for governor, has a problem with the way the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office crunches.

Mannix was a supporter of what would have been an initiative on the November ballot to change the way Oregon draws its legislative districts.

Now, every 10 years, based on the census, partisan legislators do it. If they can’t agree, the secretary of state does it. We thought the measure Mannix supported was a better solution — handing it over to a panel of judges.

Unfortunately, that appears dead.

The Secretary of State’s Office threw it out. Supporters didn’t have enough signatures. They had needed 110,358.

About 10 percent of the more than 125,000 signatures turned in for the petition were discarded for technical reasons. For instance, mismatched dates on a petition sheet could throw those signatures out.

After checking that submissions meet requirements, the state does not actually check all the signatures that remain. It tests a sample. “Sa-

tan” signed a recent gambling-related petition submitted to the state. Some might have guessed that.

Anyway, based on the sample, a percentage of the remaining signatures are discarded.

Don Hamilton, a spokesman for the Secretary of State’s Office, said it would be expensive and time-consuming for the state to check every signature. Under the Oregon Constitution, the state has 30 days to verify signatures. This year, it had six petitions. There were 20 in 2000. Checking every name would mean checking hundreds of thousands of signatures.

Mannix’s complaint is the state’s system disenfranchises Oregonians by rejecting so many without even looking at them.

If he’s right, that’s disturbing. Because Oregon samples, every decision the state makes is magnified. Without knowing how much it would cost, though, it’s hard to argue that the state should verify every name. And Oregon does not need to find a new way to spend more money.

Dog’s place in school Fifty years ago it was the rare day that someone brought a dog to school for anything more than show and tell.

Like so much else, that has changed and with change have come occasionally unhappy consequences. Thus a girl in a Bend-La Pine Schools elementary school apparently was bitten by a dog in her classroom in 2009.

No matter who is at fault, and the outcome of a lawsuit against the district likely will settle the matter, the question remains: Do dogs have a routine place in the classroom?

Without some pretty strict limits, probably not.

Surely there are times when dogs do belong in classrooms. Service dogs can provide vital assistance to those with visual impairments, as one example, and animals learning to be service dogs also might be welcome.

Other dogs have earned a place in the classroom helping some youngsters learn to read. They may serve other valuable functions, as well.

As a routine matter, however, school may not be the best place for a dog or cat, for that matter. The BendLa Pine district wants assurances that animals at school pose no health risks and are safe for students to be around, but assurances and reality

can be different things. Students and adults who aren’t particularly dog savvy can get themselves into trouble without even realizing what they’ve done.

District officials say they’re tightening up their animal policy at the request of the Oregon School Boards Association. Districts were asked to review their policies regarding animals earlier this year.

The Redmond School District’s policy, adopted in 2008, regarding animals is based on the sample policy created by OSBA. In Redmond, animals may not be handled by students unless the teacher specifically gives them permission to do so; principals must give permission on a case-bycase basis before animals can be brought into the classroom, and care must be taken to assure that animals are properly vaccinated.

While Bend-La Pine Schools have yet to adopt a new policy, district spokeswoman Julianne Repman says work on the update is well under way.

The new policy will place far more limits on animals. That’s good. While some animals have a legitimate regular place in the classroom, most should be considered visitors, there briefly and only when invited.

The limits of maternal instinct

By Amity Shlaes Bloomberg News

NEW YORK — omen just feel it. They sense trouble and will instinctually right it. They’re like mama grizzly bears, “who kind of just know when something’s wrong” and when to raise a paw to stop it. So women should get to govern now. Or else.

That’s the message of Sarah Palin’s latest video, “Mama Grizzlies.” She isn’t the only woman who is finding feminine judgment to be a selling point.

Unlike Palin, Harvard Professor Elizabeth Warren doesn’t choose to play up her gender. But it is clear that one reason she was able to push the Consumer Finance Protection Agency into being is that she presents herself as a refreshing picture of maternal common sense.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Chairman Sheila Bair likewise doesn’t play the mama card. But she has won approval of what might be called the nanny solution to the too-big-to-fail challenge posed by the largest banks.

Rather than let them fail like big boys and girls, Bair’s solution, and our new law, monitors banks so that they never get close to collapsing. Bair seems to think upping the punishments and scaring her charges will give her continued control. She recently warned banks that if they misbehaved they would face federal retribution equivalent to “the nuclear bomb that you hope you never have to use.”

W

Shirley Sherrod, another name in the news, fits in here, too. The Agriculture Department official came into the news because a right-wing blogger posted selected excerpts of an acceptable speech she gave to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, making it seem unacceptably racist.

But the flap over race obscured another feature of Sherrod’s speech: a Palinesque emphasis on personal discretion.

A farmer, she said, had “come to me for help.” But “what he didn’t realize what I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him.” Somehow, this line drew laughs of support from Sherrod’s audience, in part, one senses, because Sherrod is a woman.

The womanly wisdom theme also came up last year in the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. It emerged that Sotomayor had mentioned that one of her qualifications was that of a “wise Latina” who might make better legal decisions than a white man.

Whence the premium on female wisdom? The first source is obvious.

Women, especially Alaskan women, Latina women and black women, count as diverse. And geographic, racial and gender diversity are believed to be a requirement of American politics. That “Mama Grizzly” advertisement comes out of the playbooks of some masculine people, like Karl Rove and Dick Morris.

But the second reason for the popularity of feminine instinct is newer.

Masculine discretion has failed the

country so monumentally recently, whether in economics or politics. It was men at the Treasury or Federal Reserve who scanned the charts and opted to tell us that housing prices could only go up. Men headed — and still run— the investment banks, and men placed bets on toxic derivatives and default swaps.

Men, mostly, sold the subprime mortgages. Men chose a man, John McCain, who promptly led the Republican Party to a defeat mitigated only by his XX-chromosome running mate, Sarah Palin. Maternal instinct is supposed to be change we can believe in.

All this doesn’t mean that maternal wisdom warrants that faith. Maternal instinct of the grizzly variety, after all, is primitive. But instinct isn’t so valuable when it comes to complex decisions, like how to craft a rules-based reform of Medicare Part D. Of course, there is nothing uniquely feminine about common sense.

For Sherrod to be cleared of racism charges isn’t enough to fix federal programs for bankrupt farms. What would fix them would be a rules-based system that reduced the individual discretion of officials, black or white.

To develop such rules-based systems will require the input of intelligent females as well as intelligent males.

A good direction for the Democratic Party

By David Brooks New York Times News Service

I

was a liberal Democrat when I was young. I used to wear a green Army jacket with political buttons on it — for Hubert Humphrey, Birch Bayh, John F. Kennedy and Franklin Roosevelt. I even wore that jacket in my high school yearbook photo.

It’s a magic green jacket. I can put it on today and, suddenly, my mind shifts back to the left. I start thinking like a Democrat, feeling a strange accompanying hunger for brown rice.

When I put on that magic jacket today, I feel beleaguered but kind of satisfied.

I feel beleaguered because the political winds are blowing so ferociously against “my” party. But I feel satisfied because the Democrats have overseen a bunch of programs that, while unappreciated now, are probably going to do a lot of good in the long run.

For example, everybody now hates the bank bailouts and the stress tests. But, the fact is, these are some of the most successful programs in recent memory.

They stabilized the financial system without costing much money. The auto

bailout was criticized at the time, but it’s looking pretty good now that General Motors is recovering.

But the magic jacket-wearing me is nervous about the next few years. I’m afraid my party is going to get stuck in the same old debates that we always lose. First, we’re going to have the same old tax debate. We’re going to not extend the Bush tax cuts on the rich. The Republicans will blast us for killing growth and raising taxes as they did in 2000 and 2004.

Then we’ll get stuck in the same old spending debate. We’ll point to high unemployment and propose spending programs too small to make much difference. The Republicans will blast us for bankrupting the country with ineffective programs, and the voters are so distrustful of government these days that they’ll side with the Republicans on that one, too.

So I sit there in my magic green jacket and I wonder: What can my party do to avoid the big government tag that always leads to catastrophe? Then I remember President Barack Obama’s vow to move us beyond the stale old debates. Maybe he couldn’t really do that in the first

DAVID BROOKS phase of his presidency when he was busy responding to the economic crisis, but perhaps he can do it now in the second phase.

It occurs to me that the Obama administration has done a number of (widely neglected) things that scramble the conventional categories and that are good policy besides. The administration has championed some potentially revolutionary education reforms. It has significantly increased investments in basic research. It has promoted energy innovation and helped entrepreneurs find new battery technologies. It has invested in infrastructure — not only roads and bridges, but also information-age infrastructure like the broadband spectrum.

These accomplishments aren’t big government versus small government; they’re using government to help set a

context for private sector risk-taking and community initiative. They cut through the culture war that is now brewing between the Obama administration and the business community. They also address the core anxiety now afflicting the public. It’s not only short-term unemployment that bothers people. What really scares people is the sense that we’re frittering away our wealth. Americans fear we’re a nation in decline.

So I sit there in my green jacket, happily chewing on a Twizzler that I probably left in a pocket in 1979, and I think: What would happen if Obama sidestepped the fruitless and short-term stimulus debate and instead focused on the long term? He could explain that we’re facing deep fundamental problems: an aging population, overleveraged consumers, exploding government debt, state and local bankruptcies, declining human capital, widening inequality, a pattern of jobless recoveries, deteriorating trade imbalances and so on.

These long-term problems, Obama could say, won’t be solved either with centralized government or free market laissez-faire. Just as government laid

railroads and built land grant colleges in the 19th century to foster deep growth, the government today should be doing the modern equivalents.

Not much is going to get passed in the next two years anyway, but the president could lay the groundwork for a whopping second-term agenda: tax simplification, entitlement reform, a new wave of regional innovation clusters, a new wave of marriage-friendly tax policies.

If the president is looking for a long-term growth agenda, he could read “Path to Prosperity,” co-edited by Jason Furman and Jason Bordoff, or “The Pro-Growth Progressive” written by Gene Sperling.

Some of these guys already are on his staff.

Eventually, I see a party breaking out of old stereotypes, appealing to entrepreneurs and suburbanites again, and I start feeling good about the future. Then I take off the magic green jacket and return to my old center-right self. A chill sweeps over me: Gosh, what if the Democrats really did change in that way?

O Stephen ‘Steve’ H. Brooks

Donald ‘Don’ Terry Moody

Karen Murphy

May 29, 1912 - July 24, 2010

September 1, 1936 - July 22, 2010

Steve was born in Phillipsburg, Kansas, on May 29, 1912. He went home to the Lord on July 24, 2010, where he was reunited with his wife of 72 years, who was truly the love of his life. He went peacefully at Hospice House, with Steve Brooks family at his side.

He grew up and farmed with mules on the family farm in Kansas, until he was in his late teens. He met Gertrude, and convinced her he wasn't just a "smart-Alec", after she saw him sweetly kissing his baby sister.

In April 1935, they went on their honeymoon, traveling across the country, where he made a living repairing cream separators. They made their home in an "I Love Lucy" trailer they pulled behind their car.

During World War II, he worked in the shipyards and built housing at Van Port. For years after the war, he then sold vacuum cleaners door to door in Portland, earning many awards. He likes to tell of one lady who said "No thanks, I'm not going to get no luxury item like a vacuum, I'm saving my money for a necessity, and getting me a TV." He and Gertrude settled in Salem, Oregon, where they owned Oregon Hearing Center, until his retirement thirty years later at the age of 72.

While they were in Salem, they were committed to their church, the First Free Methodist Church, where they were actively involved, and much loved.

He loved his Lord, his devoted wife, and the rest of his family which included three kids, Jim Brooks of Hermiston and his wife, Sue; David Brooks of McMinnville; and Ken Brooks of Bend and his wife, Janet.

He was blessed with five grandchildren, Steve, Jeff, Adam, Sarah and Yolanda (deceased), and ten great-grandchildren: Samantha, Travis, Trevor, Kelly, Jared, Faith, Levi, Cody, Carson, and Ellie.

He was a man of few words, except when he was reciting some obscure long, humorous poem. Though he talked little, he loved a lot. He was a generous and grateful man.

He was one of a kind, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

His funeral service will be at Deschutes Memorial Chapel, in Bend, on Friday, July 30, at 11:00 am.

In lieu of flowers, and because of the wonderfully caring work they do, the family suggests a donation in Steve's name to Partners In Care Hospice House, 2075 NE Wyatt Ct. Bend, OR 97701.

Entrusted with final arrangements, Deschutes Memorial Chapel & Gardens. Condolences to the family can be made at our website, www.deschutesmenorialchapel.com

He was born Don Moody to the late Terry and Kathleen (Allen) Moody on September 1, 1936, in Cottage Grove, Oregon.

Don graduated from Redmond Union High School in 1954 and received a diploma in Automotive Electricity and Tune Up from Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls in 1956. After graduation, he worked for the Floyd Githens Ford dealership in Cottage Grove. In 1958, he married Joanne (Kulm) Moody in Cottage Grove.

Don returned to Central Oregon in 1962, and spent many years as the service manager for Robberson Ford in Bend. In the late 1960s, while still at Robberson Ford, he taught evening automotive classes and community education classes for Central Oregon Community College (COCC) before they had a permanent campus. He left Robberson Ford to teach Automotive Technology full-time at COCC from 1981 until his retirement as a professor in 1998. He received his Associate of Science Degree in Automotive Technology from COCC in 1984.

An avid outdoorsman, Don especially enjoyed sailing land yachts with friends in southeastern Oregon, and was an active hiker, backpacker, hunter and fisherman.

He enjoyed restoring older vehicles including a 1936 Farmall tractor and a beloved 1956 Ford truck, which recently won the Best Pickup Award at the Elks car show in Bend.

Don is survived by three children: Brian Moody of Bend, OR; Bruce Moody of California; and Lisa (Moody) Smith of Bend, OR. He also is survived by his partner, Sandra Veeck of Bend, OR; brother, Robert Moody of Yuma, AZ; sister, Joan (Moody) Divers of Yuma, AZ and four grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Richard Moody.

Man who helped build Aldi and Trader Joe’s dies New York Times News Service Theo Albrecht, who with his brother Karl used lessons learned in the lean years of postwar Germany to build an international grocery empire, died Saturday in Essen, Germany. He was 88.

His death was announced by a representative of the company he owned, Aldi, which also owns Trader Joe’s.

Following World War II, Theo and Karl Albrecht took over their parents’ small grocery in the bombed-out city of Essen and, out of necessity, sold only a small number of essential items. When the economy began to boom, competitors expanded their inventories, but the brothers realized they could operate more efficiently by keeping stores fairly small.

Nancy A. Williams May 26, 1933 - May 4, 2010 Nancy passed quietly to be with God on Tuesday morning, May 4, 2010, in Tucson, Arizona. She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Kenneth; daughters, Cindy Farmer and Janice Artman; and four grandchildren.

Nancy will be placed with her parents, Orpha and Gus Ferguson in the Pilot Butte Cemetery, on the 3rd of August at 10:30 a.m., A celebration of life will be held on Sat. Aug. 7 at the Todd Artman home.

A caring and loving person, Nancy is loved and will be missed from the heart of this world.

Vivian Pearl Downing September 25, 1929 – July 19, 2010 Former Madras resident Vivian Pearl Downing died July 19, 2010, at the age of 80, at the Hospice House in Bend following an extended illness.

She was born on Sept. 25, 1929, in Fruitland, Idaho, to Hoyt and Opal (Pinkston) Nash.

She attended school in Homedale until 1946, when she married Clyde Downing on Sept.

25, 1947, in Idaho. The Downings lived in Homedale for three years, then moved to Mount Vernon, Ore., in 1951. In 1953, the family made their big move to Central Oregon, living in the communities of Culver and Metolius, then settling on Cora Drive in Madras in 1964.

To supplement the family income, in 1965 Mrs. Downing began working as a salesclerk first for McCaulou’s store and then Hatfield’s Department Store for over 38 years. Her co-workers became friends, buying trips were her vacations, and helping customers became an art.

In 1965, Downing Construction was formed and Mrs. Downing functioned as the secretary, displaying her amazing organizational skills. She continued to answer phones, take orders and weigh trucks at the scalehouse until 2009.

She took great pride in the business her husband Clyde and son Mike had formed.

She possessed a strong work ethic and led her life by the following creeds: “The winner always has a plan; the loser always has excuses. The winner sees an answer for every problem; the loser sees a problem in every answer. The winner says: ‘It may be difficult, but it’s possible;’ the loser says: ‘It may be possible, but it’s too difficult.’”

In 1987, her husband died, and although the family business continued, the family vegetable garden was replaced by flowers. Her gardens brought the birds she loved and her constant companions were her kitties.

Her life emulated the following: “What is essential is to create a beautiful life out of everyday struggles.”

Survivors include her children, Vicki Jagels, and Mike and wife Cathy Downing, all of Madras, and Jani Jagels of Metolius; brother, Craig Nash of Modesto, Calif.; sister, Mildreta Shanley of Homedale, Idaho; grandchildren Micah, Ian, Caleb, Lucas, Callie, Josiah and Hoyt; and great-grandchildren Dacota, Monique, Hunter, Shaelynne, Kinzi, Morgan, Ariana, Kelsin, Tyler, Isabelle, Ethan and Ivan. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother Rodger, and sister Lynette.

The family is planing a memorial service to be celebrated on her birthday, Sept. 25, 2010.

Arrangements were under the direction of Bel-Air Colonial Funeral Home of Madras.

MAURICE IVERSON January 29, 1911 - July 23, 2010 Maurice Iverson of Bend, Oregon passed away from natural causes on July 23rd at the age of 99. Maurice was loved and admired by all who have known him as a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, cowboy, WWII Veteran, homesteader, logger, snow-bird, and friend. He touched many lives with his quick wit, humor, charm and for setting a good example of how to live a long and successful life.

Maurice was born in Fresno, California on January 29, 1911 to Ivar J. and Alice K. Iverson. In 1929, he drove one of the family’s Model T Fords to the Fort Rock, Oregon area where his Dad homesteaded. Maurice worked on various ranches first as a cook driving the chuck wagon on cattle drives and later as a buckaroo. Due to his thick, wavy hair and reputed strength, Maurice was nick-named Sampson. Because of his short, wiry frame, he was also called Shorty, a nick-name that stayed with him into his older years.

In the early 1940s, Maurice worked on a steel crew building rail lines for Brooks Scanlon and lived in a boarding house in Bend. During the summer of 1942, Maurice met the love of his life, Maxine Potter, who worked at the boarding house. Many of the single men at the boarding house had their eyes on the beautiful, young Maxine but Maurice claims to have won her heart because he was the only one with a car and would drive her home each night. A few months later, after enlisting into the Army Air Corps. Maurice and Maxine were married in Vancouver, Washington. Maxine followed him to basic training in Georgia and Florida before returning to Bend in 1944 to give birth to their first son, Gerald, who now lives in Bend, Oregon with his wife, Lynn. Maurice’s WWII service took him to New Guinea and he received an Asiatic-Pacific Theater Campaign Ribbon with a bronze star. After the war ended, his first daughter, Maureen Iverson-Curran was born in 1946 and now lives in Los Osos, California. Maurice’s second son, Gordon Iverson was born in 1949 and lives with his wife, Martha in Bend, Oregon.

After WWII, Maurice worked as a timber feller for Brooks Scanlon and he and his family moved to a logging camp near Sisters, Oregon. He and

his family spent one winter in a logging camp east of Chemult, Oregon.

Maurice’s family moved back to Bend in 1951 where all of his children attended Bend schools.

In addition to his three children, Maurice is survived by five grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Maurice was preceded in death by his wife, Maxine, by an infant daughter, Muriel Katherine Iverson, by his parents, Ivar and Alice, and by seven of his eight siblings.

Maurice shared a passion for the outdoors with his wife and children.

They enjoyed many camping vacations at the Oregon beaches and National Parks in the Western United States. Maurice retired at the age of 62 following a logging accident which shattered his arm but being strong and active, he and Maxine enjoyed over 30 years of annual trips as “snow-birds” to Death Valley, Yuma, and the “Fountain of Youth” near the Salton Sea. He loved to fish and hunted deer, antelope and elk. He still holds the record for a rainbow trout weighing over 14 pounds caught at Wickiup Reservoir in 1989. His fondest outdoor memories were of telling stories around the campfire at hunting camp with family and friends.

Maurice was active at various times during his life in the local VFW, IWA AFL-CIO, Eagles, Fort Rock Historical Society, Pine Forest Grange, and First Christian Church.

Following his wife’s death in 2006, Maurice lived in local retirement homes until April 2010 when he moved to Harmony House Skilled Nursing to recover from a fall. He maintained his wit and charm to the end of his life. Maurice’s family is grateful for the loving care provided

by Redmond-Sisters Hospice and Harmony House the final three months of his life. A celebration of life will be held at the Mountain Room in Deschutes Brewery, 901 SW Simpson in Bend at 11:00 AM Saturday, July 31st. Contributions can be made in Maurice’s name to Redmond-Sisters Hospice, 732 SW 23rd Street, Redmond, OR 97756.

Fair Continued from C1 “My grandma makes mean pies,” Paige said as the announcer read the rules. “I just want to make my grandma proud. She loves pie.”

The 5- to 11-year-olds sat poised to rip the covers off their mini-marionberry and whipped cream pies, eyes wide and mouths open. At the word, “Go!” they were off. Bailey Dennis, 8, of Redmond, held her pie bowl in one hand and scooped with the other, filling her cheeks with pie before swallowing. Micah Borden, 11, of Redmond, used a two-hand technique, spinning his hands like a paddle wheel to shovel pie into his mouth.

But the winner of the first heat, far and away, was Mike Davis Jr., 11, and he said his secret was simple: “Just shove it in the mouth and don’t swallow.”

The older contestants were not permitted to use their hands and had full 8-inch pies to gobble down before they could claim their winnings. Eaters commenced wolfing, licking, and in some cases, nibbling, their way to the bottom of their pies. Matt Simmons, 15, of Redmond scored the win in the end, despite some close competition.

The final competition, for those 16 and older, was the smallest round, but featured some very experienced pie eaters. The two youngest, Caleb Bratton, 17, of Bend, and his friend Erik, sat across from each other and traded taunts between biting and swallowing chunks of strawberry rhubarb pie. Caleb had boasted before the contest that he planned to win it. “I’m pretty confident in myself,” he

said. “I eat a lot every day of my life. That’s my training.”

And yet, it seems experience at eating pie quickly is worth more than just eating lots often. Erik, who has competed in the contest for at least four years, won the adult contest and experienced competitor Crystal Poppe, 43, came in second.

Erik couldn’t say exactly what his method had been. “You don’t think much when you’re eating pie,” he said. And what would he spend his winnings on? “Maybe another pie!” he grinned.

Settlements reached in building failure suit The Associated Press SALEM — Marion County and Salem-Keizer Transit District have reached a $1.8 million settlement with two contractors that the agencies accused of botching a $34 million office building and bus mall.

The contractors have denied they did anything wrong.

A Marion County spokesman

told the Salem Statesman Journal that on advice of their outside attorneys, the agencies settled a lawsuit with Arbuckle Costic Architects Inc. for about $695,000.

The lawsuit against Pence/ Kelly Construction Inc. and five of its subcontractors was settled for about $1.17 million.

“The feeling was that the county and transit were bet-

ter served by settling for that amount of money than running the risk of going to trial and getting nothing,” said Dave Henderson, business services director for Marion County.

Engineers last week found defects so severe that the county and transit district decided the safest course was to vacate the building within 90 days.

Banks Continued from C1 University of Oregon Economics Professor Tim Duy said giving money to small banks will likely help the economy, but it would only address half of the problem.

With the economy hurting the financial position of many businesses, especially in Central and Eastern Oregon, banks may have a hard time finding borrowers who represent a good investment.

“If you don’t have credit-wor-

thy borrowers, it doesn’t matter if you have money to lend,” Duy said.

Larry Snyder, CEO of High Desert Bank, said his bank doesn’t need more money to lend.

“My doors are open, I’m making loans,” Snyder said.

The reason his lending is down, Snyder said, is far fewer businesses are applying for loans than were three or four years ago.

Inquiries from businesses about loans have decreased from about five a week during the boom years to about five a

month today, he said.

“It’s slowed to a crawl,” Snyder said.

The bill could help, Moss said, but the best thing would be an upswing in the area’s economy.

“While it is another potentially advantageous program for banks … part of the challenge right now is just in the (low) demand for small business loans,” Moss said. “What really has to happen is jobs need to be created.”

THE BULLETIN • THURSDAY, JULY 29, 2010

GOLF Bend golfer among leaders at Pacific Coast Amateur EUGENE — Bend golfer Andrew Vijarro is still in contention after the second round of the 44th Pacific Coast Amateur Championship.

Vijarro, a junior-to-be at the University of Oregon, shot a 1-over-par 72 Wednesday at Eugene Country Club. But after shooting a 68 in Tuesday’s first round, Vijarro is still in a tie for fourth place three shots behind leader Andrew Putnam, a Pepperdine University golfer from University Place, Wash.

Vijarro is tied with UO teammate Eugene Wong, and a shot ahead of fellow Ducks Isaiah Telles and Daniel Miernicki.

In addition to 72 holes of individual stroke play, the Pacific Coast Amateur pits the best golfers from around the West in a 72-hole team competition among 16 teams representing golf associations throughout the region. Each team has three golfers, and only the two lowest scores from each round count toward the team total.

Vijarro’s Oregon Golf Association team — which includes Chad Sawyer, of West Linn, and Paul Peterson, of Corvallis — is in second place at 3 under par, two shots behind Putnam’s Northwest Golf Association team.

The Pacific Coast Amateur will continue today. The final round is scheduled for Friday.

C YCLING Landis to ride again after leaving CCC NEW YORK — Just a few days after not completing the Cascade Cycling Classic in Central Oregon, Floyd Landis will ride in the Tour of the Catskills race in upstate New York starting on Friday.

Landis was stripped of his 2006 Floyd Landis Tour de France title for doping and admitted this spring to using drugs to gain a competitive edge. He also has made doping claims against seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong.

Last week, Landis came to Bend to compete in the CCC, a six-stage cycling race that started Tuesday. Landis did not start Sunday’s final stage.

It is unknown why he did not complete the race.

Landis’ admission has sparked a federal investigation into cheating in pro cycling, and prosecutors have subpoenaed documents from a 2004 case in which a company tried to prove Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs.

Armstrong has denied using such drugs and has never tested positive.

CORRECTION In “Sports in Brief” on Wednesday, July 28, on Page D2 of The Bulletin, the item “Elks split squad wins in 15 innings” contained incorrect information about the game.

Max Stovall hit the three-run home run that won the game for the Elks in the 15th inning.

The Bulletin regrets the error.

Students of the hunt go Down Under for red stag

R HUNTING & FISHING

emember the high school foreig n - exchange student program? It was going to bring people from different countries together, break down cultural barriers and forge friendships around the world.

When he was in high school, Richard Burdon, a Kiwi, spent a year on a ranch east of John Day. “I learned to shoot a pistol and to throw a rope like a cowboy and learned the etiquette of the hunt,” he said.

Those skills have served him well as a sheep and dairy farmer on his station on the South Island of New Zealand.

Roping has become especially useful, as evidenced by the stiff, well-used lariat that hung from a set of red stag antlers on his office wall.

GARY LEWIS

Lessons learned in Eastern Oregon have paid off as more and more Americans travel to New Zealand to hunt. Both hunting cultures evolved from the same tree, but similarities diverge at the European root.

To keep baggage concerns to a minimum, I’d left my rifle at home and borrowed a bolt-action Ruger. A reload jammed in the chamber and there was nothing for it, but to take it back to the truck.

We kept our heads low. Burdon took the now useless rifle back down the hill, while my friend Rodney Smith and Christchurch taxidermist Andrew Holt and I watched what should have been my stag, my first red stag, work up-canyon.

SAMMAMISH, Wash. — Call it the Champions Tour’s Pacific Northwest Swing.

Beginning with the U.S. Senior Open, which tees off today at Sahalee Country Club just east of Seattle, the over-50 circuit will play three golf tournaments in the Northwest during the next month.

After a stop in Minnesota for the 3M Championship, Aug. 6-8, the Champions Tour will return to Central Oregon for the JeldWen Tradition, Aug. 19-22, at Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Club. The Northwest swing ends the following week at the Boeing Classic in the Seattle area.

“It’s the country’s living room,” Mike Reid, who has fond memories of playing in the Northwest after winning the 2009 Tradition, said Wednesday on a sunny afternoon at Sahalee.

“That’s the thing that people, who haven’t been here much, remark again and again. Just the number of people that come out (to the golf tournaments) tells you that they’re pretty keen on golf here, and that makes it nice for us.

“The beauty of the courses and the scenery and the following here is just tremendous.”

Two of the three Northwest stops are major championships, meaning it will be more than just the coast-to-mountains scenery that draws golfers.

Reid, who lives in Utah, having good vibes about the region should be no surprise after his playoff win in last year’s Tradition.

What about John Cook, who lost the playoff?

“I enjoy (the Northwest),” said Cook, whose daughter recently moved to the Seattle area.

New venues for ‘old’ stars in downtown Los Angeles

Travis Pastrana will compete in a record five events at this year’s X games in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES — Only at the X Games, where athletes sometimes win medals before they graduate the eighth grade, would Travis Pastrana be considered an old man.

But it was a taunt about his decrepitude, and a wager to go with it, that brought the multisport star back to freestyle motocross where he made his name.

The 16th annual circus of twists, flips, and stunning risks returns for a four-day stint in downtown Los Angeles starting Thursday, and Pastrana, who has taken a relatively low profile in the last few games, is set to compete in a record five events.

Pastrana was on a spring tour for “Nitro Circus,” the MTV show where athletes combine action sports with “Jackass”-style stunts. His costar Blake Williams, who has thrived in freestyle motocross since Pastrana shifted his focus to rally car racing a few years ago, teased the 26-yearold Pastrana about returning to the event this summer.

“He told me ‘You should come back to X Games and get smoked old man,’” Pastrana said. “I’m a-year-and-a-half older than him.”

The Australian Williams added an enticement, a bet of five dollars, though it wasn’t clear whether it would be Aussie or U.S. currency, Pastrana said.

BASKETBALL

In the NBA, the new boss isn’t the same as the old boss A new generation of executives — like Portland’s Rich Cho — have very different backgrounds than their predecessors

By Jonathan Abrams New York Times News Service

A growing number of executives running NBA franchises incorporate knowledge about what happens on the basketball court and in the courtroom, while others bring advanced college degrees to their work. Together, they have created what the Portland Trail Blazers’ owner, Paul Allen, termed “the new generation of NBA executives.”

Allen hired Rich Cho as his general manager earlier this month. A day later, the Phoenix Suns introduced Lon Babby, a prominent agent, as their president of basketball operations. Both Cho and Babby pursued law degrees before delving into basketball full time. Cho started as an intern with the Seattle SuperSonics 15 years ago.

Neither Cho, 44, nor Babby, 59, claims to have all the answers for success in the league. But their legal backgrounds could serve them well in those moments when the basketball court and the courtroom intersect, particularly in arbitration cases.

They should certainly come in handy when the league’s collective bargaining agreement, which expires after next season, is renegotiated, requiring a new encyclopedia of details, many of them highly nuanced.

With some NBA teams staggering economically, there is a heightened emphasis on an executive’s ability to allocate resources properly.

“You use that background and knowledge to help you make trades, in contract negotiations,” Cho said. “That’s one thing where it helps me and Lon.” Cho and Babby have benefited from a recent tendency among team owners to seek candidates with multifaceted backgrounds when hiring executives.

Before the Houston Rockets promoted Daryl Morey, an MIT graduate and an expert in statistical analysis, to general manager in 2007, teams usually turned to former scouts, players or coaches to run their basketball operations.

Shortly after Morey’s promotion, the Sonics hired the highly respected Sam Presti away from the San Antonio Spurs and made him their general manager. Cho worked as an assistant general manager under Presti, who was a Rhodes scholar nominee at Emerson College, when the Sonics moved to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder. The two quickly earned a reputation for shrewd trades to ac-

“He (Cho) had a law degree and a diverse background, but he also has a pretty rich basketball background. That was one of the things that was really appealing. He’s got some pretty vast experience when it comes to working for a basketball organization. I’ve heard him referred to as the Swiss army knife of basketball.”

— Larry Miller, Portland’s team president, on new general manager Rich Cho quire high draft picks.

In a similarly innovative organizational move, the Minnesota Timberwolves last year hired David Kahn, a former sportswriter and lawyer, as their president of basketball operations. And this summer the Cleveland Cavaliers promoted Chris Grant, who holds a master’s degree in educational leadership, to general manager.

Still, even as some teams seem to lean toward executives with nontraditional skills, others have benefited from executives with strong NBA backgrounds. The teams in last season’s NBA finals were each led by former players: Mitch Kupchak of the Los Angeles Lakers and Danny Ainge of the Boston Celtics. The Miami Heat president, Pat Riley, a former player and coach, pulled off the freeagency coup of the summer by landing LeBron James and Chris Bosh while retaining Dwyane Wade.

The Nets with Billy King and the Charlotte Hornets with Dell Demps turned to men with traditional backgrounds this summer to fill top positions in their front offices.

But the tide may be turning. Babby, a graduate of Yale Law School, first joined the sports hemisphere by representing the NFL’s Washington Redskins and baseball’s Baltimore Orioles.

Later, as a player representative, he carved out a client list that included basketball ambassadors like Grant Hill, Tim Duncan and Ray Allen.

Last summer Babby negotiated Hill’s deal with Phoenix. This summer he found himself in a conversation with Robert Sarver, the Suns’ owner, that touched on several topics.

“At one point, I said this is starting to sound like a job interview,” Babby said. “We talked about how to run an organization, and it evolved into a great opportunity for me, but it wasn’t something that I set out to get.”

Babby quickly called Hill, his first client as an agent, and alerted him to the potential of a deal.

“The last week or two he’s been calling me ‘boss,’ so he’s been very enthusiastic about it,” said Babby, who plans on hiring a general manager to oversee player personnel.

This summer the Suns traded for Hedo Turkoglu, another of Babby’s former clients. His trade coincided with the discussions between Babby and Sarver.

“I had recused myself long before the trade occurred,” Babby said.

Cho, who once worked as an engineer for Boeing, graduated from Pepperdine’s law school. After immigrating to the United States from Burma with his family as a child, Cho developed a strong interest in sports. He recognized sooner than most that a law degree would be a useful tool for a sports executive.

He served his internship with the Sonics while attending law school and soon after his graduation in 1997 was named Seattle’s director of basketball affairs.

“He had a law degree and a diverse background, but he also has a pretty rich basketball background,” Larry Miller, Portland’s team president, said of Cho. “That was one of the things that was really appealing. He’s got some pretty vast experience when it comes to working for a basketball organization. I’ve heard him referred to as the Swiss army knife of basketball.”

Cho said, he will use an “eyes, ears, mind” approach.

“The eyes are the in-person live scouting and film scouting, the ears are all the background work you do on a guy and trying to get intel about his work ethic and what’s he like as a person, and a numbers approach is the analytical portion,” Cho said.

Cho says he will process the information before delivering a verdict. As the game evolves, he and Babby are now among the next generation of executives whose job it is to guide their franchises in the best direction.

• Former Duck Masoli to Ole Miss: A report at ESPN.com said that former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli is enrolling at the University of Mississippi.

Sources told ESPN.com that he would be walking on to the football program there, if he were to join the program, and that he would not be given a scholarship.

Masoli was dismissed from Oregon’s team this summer after a couple of off-the-field incidents.

• Haynesworth returns to Redskins: Albert Haynesworth finally showed up for work — and quickly learned the Washington Redskins won’t be cutting him any slack. On the eve of the first day of training camp, Haynesworth ended his months-long boycott of the team by meeting Wednesday morning with coach Mike Shanahan. Hardly sympathetic to the plight of a player who recently received a $21 million bonus, the coach wasn’t about to let bygones by bygones. Shanahan said Haynesworth must pass a conditioning test in order to practice. And, assuming the test is passed, the two-time All-Pro defensive lineman with the $100 million contract won’t be practicing with the starting unit, at least not right away.

• Gates gets big extension from Chargers: Tight end Antonio Gates agreed to a $36.175 million, fiveyear contract extension, with $20.4 million guaranteed with the San Diego Chargers. It is the biggest contract ever given to a tight end. A college basketball star at Kent State, Gates blossomed from a rookie free agent in 2003 to a superstar who is a three-time All-Pro and six-time Pro Bowler.

Baseball • Elks split squad posts shutout: The Bend Elks’ split squad defeated the San Francisco Seals 4-0 in a game played at Bend’s Vince Genna Stadium. Three Elks pitchers combined for the shutout, with Marshall Crawford scattering four hits over seven innings.

Madras High product Turner Gill led Bend with three hits. The Elks return to West Coast League play on Friday, when they host Cowlitz Black Bears at 6:35 p.m.

• Dodgers get OF Podsednik from Royals: The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired outfielder Scott Podsednik from the Kansas City Royals for a pair of minor leaguers Wednesday night, trying to replenish their outfield and boost their chances in the NL West. Podsednik hit .310 and stole 30 bases for the Royals this season.

• A’s Sheets ruled out for the season: The Oakland Athletics confirmed what they had feared and announced pitcher Ben Sheets is out for the season due to a torn flexor in his right elbow. A’s manager Bob Geren said no surgery is currently planned, although Sheets needed an operation to repair the same injury when he missed the 2009 season.

• Lee to stay in Chicago: Chicago Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee has rejected a trade to the Los Angeles Angels, saying he prefers to finish the season with his team. Lee says he “really kind of agonized over” the decision, but that he decided the best thing for himself and his family was to stay in Chicago. Lee is having a tough season, batting just .248 with 11 home runs and 44 RBIs.

Soccer • Man. U. routs MLS All-Stars: Manchester United turned the Major League Soccer All-Star game into its own showcase of talent. Federico Macheda had two early goals, Mexican star Javier Hernandez scored in his debut for the Red Devils, and Manchester United routed the MLS All-Stars 5-2 on Wednesday night in Houston in the final exhibition game of its North American tour. Houston Dynamo star Brian Ching had a goal and an assist for the All-Stars.

Golf • Alabama teen shoots 57 in State Junior: Bobby Wyatt shot a 57 at the Alabama Boys State Junior Championship. The University of Alabama-bound teen, who turns 18 this weekend, had 12 birdies, an eagle and five pars Wednesday on the par-71, 6,628-yard course at the Country Club of Mobile. His birdie putt hung on the lip on the 18th green and he had to settle for par.

Track & field • Bolt to face Powell, Gay in 100 at Stockholm meet: Organizers say Olympic champion Usain Bolt has confirmed he will run the 100 meters at the Diamond League meet in Stockholm in August, setting up a showdown against rivals Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay for the first time since last year’s world championships. Bolt set a world record of 9.58 seconds at the worlds in Berlin in 2009, but has not faced both of his top competitors in the same race since then.

Auto racing • Roush still hospitalized, stable after plane crash: NASCAR team owner Jack Roush remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition after walking away from a plane crash in Wisconsin on Tuesday night. In a statement, Roush Fenway Racing says Roush is under observation for facial injuries he sustained in the accident. Roush — an aviation buff who survived another crash in 2002 — was attending the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. According to the EAA, a Beechcraft Premier business jet registered to Roush Fenway Racing, LLC was involved in a landing accident at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh around 6:15 p.m. local time Tuesday.

Basketball • Family, friends mourn for former NBA player Wright: Relatives and friends of Lorenzen Wright gathered Wednesday and grieved for the former NBA player who has been missing for 10 days, as police investigated the discovery of a man’s body outside of Memphis, Tenn. Wright’s uncle, Curtis Wright, told The Associated Press that police called the player’s father, Herb Wright, Wednesday afternoon with the news he had died. The 34-year-old Wright was last seen July 18 when he was expected to fly out of town. Wright played 13 years in the NBA for the Los Angeles Clippers, Atlanta Hawks, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings and most recently the Cleveland Cavaliers with 17 games in the 2008-09 season.

• U.S. trims roster: USA Basketball trimmed its roster of candidates for the world championships to 15 on Wednesday, cutting Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans, O.J. Mayo and Gerald Wallace. Kevin Durant leads three Oklahoma City players on the guard-heavy list that included the Clippers’ Eric Gordon, who was thought to be on the bubble. Tyson Chandler and Brook Lopez are the only true centers on the squad, which includes talented point guards such as Chauncey Billups, Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook.

Poster latest show of NFL concussion reality The league finally starts addressing the issue after years of dismissing possible long-term effects on players’ brains

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

T

he HBO cameras are rolling in New York, where this season’s “Hard Knocks” could make a star out of Jets coach Rex Ryan — and send parents across the country scurrying for the mute button on the remote control.

Then there’s Cincinnati, where the T.O. & Ochocinco Show promises to be must-see reality of its own.

NFL training camps are opening across the country this week, much to the delight of football-starved fans. Along with the fun this season, though, comes a serious message about a serious issue the NFL tried for way too many years to ignore.

“Repetitive brain injury, when not treated promptly and properly, may cause permanent damage to your brain,” warns a new poster that will be displayed in all 32 NFL locker rooms.

Quite a change from just a few years ago, when the NFL all but dismissed mounting concerns about concussions and their long-term effects.

The league even trotted out doctors to say there was no definitive connection between concussions and brain damage.

Now players have the information right in front of them: Concussions can lead to everything from memory loss to depression to dementia.

“It’s a leap forward and it doesn’t hold anything back,” said Chris Nowinski, a former college football player and professional wrestler who helped with the poster. “It clearly is a change in the thinking of the NFL.” That change in thinking came under new commissioner Roger Goodell, who should get at least part of the credit for recognizing the problem and dealing with it. Though the change came grudgingly at first, the NFL now appears serious about trying to do something about what was one of the dirty little secrets of professional football.

It won’t help players from the past who died young or were left brain-damaged because of repeated concussions. But it might save some lives and a lot of pain for players in the future.

“I’m excited we’re all moving in the same direction finally,” said Nowinski, president of the Sports Legacy Institute and co-director of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy at Boston University. “I think the commissioner has made consistently great moves on this.”

Goodell may not have had much choice. There was a growing amount of evidence on the effects of repeated concussions that was hard to ignore, and public campaigns by the families of former players were taking their toll.

Politicians were also getting involved.

“The NFL has had its four stages of grief: denial, more denial, some level of recognition and now research,” New York congressman Anthony

“Repetitive brain injury, when not treated promptly and properly, may cause permanent damage to your brain.”

— A poster being displayed in every NFL team’s locker room Weiner said at a hearing in May. To Goodell’s credit, he’s now moving fast on an issue that affects millions of young athletes and is even more critical in a league built largely on the excitement of violent collisions.

Shortly after a survey of 160 NFL players by The Associated Press last season showed nearly one-fifth had either hidden a concussion or played while under the effects of one, Goodell issued stricter instructions for when players would be allowed to return to games or practices after head injuries.

Then a few more things happened. Two doctors whom critics accused of trying to help the NFL minimize the affects of concussions resigned from a medical committee, and the league started a database on concussion injuries. At the scouting combine this year, all 329 players were given a baseline brain activity exam for the first time.

Meantime, the NFL donated $1 million to the Boston University center — with no strings attached — to help researchers study the affects of brain injuries. More than 200 athletes from various sports have pledged to donate their brains to the center for study, including Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk, Seattle Seahawks linebacker Lofa Tatupu and Arizona Cardinals receiver Sean Morey.

“It’s been a huge problem for decades, but never have there been scientists who have committed to solve the problem,” said Nowinski, who suffered six concussions in his career. “Now that we have those resources I expect huge advances.”

The poster is a small part of the overall picture, but an important one. Whether players take it to heart is still to be determined; at least the message is in place.

It’s a serious subject, as the heart-wrenching stories told by former players and their family members before Congress last year demonstrated. The fact the NFL took so long to recognize it as such is a disgrace.

Now the league has a second chance. As a result, players may live longer and more productive lives because of it.

Jets’ nose tackle is dropping weight — with a cookie diet?

By Dennis Waszak Jr. The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Kris Jenkins is dropping pounds by eating cookies — oatmeal raisin, chocolate. Six of them every day.

Since May, the New York Jets’ hefty nose tackle has shed 20 pounds, putting him at a svelte 365.

“It sounds funny, but I got serious about it,” he said. “And, I have to say, it has been going great.”

The 6-foot-4 Jenkins was up to 390 — 30 more than his normal playing weight — earlier this year while recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. The injury sidelined him for the second half of last season.

“I couldn’t run or do anything, and that’s the hardest time I have personally to lose weight,” Jenkins said. “Whenever I can’t be active, I suffer. Honestly, I’ve had weight issues my whole career. It just got to the point where I got fed up.”

So, Jenkins — weighing 385 at the time — flew to Miami to meet Dr. Sanford Siegal, creator of Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet, which has been around since 1975. And that’s when he started gobbling up cookies to supplement his weight-loss program.

“They’re more like muffin tops than cookies,” he said with a chuckle.

They’re 90 calories each, have 2½ grams of fat and contain ingredients like milk, soy, whole wheat flour, crisp rice and non-vegetable protein.

“It is both an asset and a liability, that name,” said Matt Siegal, the doctor’s son and the company’s CEO. “People hear that name, Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet, and they think at best it’s another fad diet or at worst, it’s a scam — what, do you eat Oreos all day? Once people go and do research, any notion that this is not serious is immediately dispelled.”

He’s not exactly downing batches of Chips Ahoy or Famous Amos, but Jenkins has become quite the cookie monster and a believer. After all, the scale doesn’t lie.

“They’re basically appetite suppressants and they make you feel full,” he said. “It’s like being able to have carbs and a dessert at the same time and lose weight.”

His goal is to weigh 350 by the time training camp is over in late August.

Jenkins raised some eyebrows last week during an interview with the NFL Network, when he said, “We’ve had some real men come in and step in for the women that we lost.” He didn’t specifically name any of his former teammates, but many fans and media assumed it was safety

RCR is back on top in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Richard Childress Racing had fallen on tough times, until this year’s turnaround

By Chris Jenkins The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — If anybody needed more evidence to confirm that Richard Childress Racing is back as a NASCAR power broker, Sunday’s organization-wide romp at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway could be Exhibit A. Sprint Cup points leader Kevin Harvick finished second for RCR, trailing only Jamie McMurray. His car, like Harvick’s, was powered by a motor built by the EarnhardtChildress Racing engine shop.

Harvick’s teammates weren’t far behind, with Clint Bowyer in fourth and Jeff Burton in sixth.

And Juan Pablo Montoya, who led much of the race before getting shuffled back on a late pit strategy decision and subsequent crash, also had an ECR engine.

After falling from its perch as a perennial contender in NASCAR, Richard Childress’ team has been on the rebound since last year’s Brickyard race.

“From last year to this point, it’s a 180,” Harvick said. “It’s a lot easier and more exciting and everybody has a lot better mindset coming to the race track than we did last year. In the end, you work just as hard to run last as you do to run first. To see the reward that the guys are getting and we all get from running better is a lot more fun.”

Nobody could blame Childress for thinking about quitting racing after Dale Earnhardt, his longtime friend and star driver, died at Daytona in 2001. Childress pressed on: That’s what Dale would want, he told himself.

Childress took on investors,

NASCAR Sprint Cup leaders Richard Childress Racing driver Kevin Harvick is atop the season point standings: 1, Kevin Harvick . . . . . . . . 2,920 2, Jeff Gordon. . . . . . . . . . 2,736 3, Denny Hamlin. . . . . . . . 2,660 4, Jimmie Johnson . . . . . . 2,659 5, Kurt Busch . . . . . . . . . . 2,658 6, Kyle Busch . . . . . . . . . . 2,630 7, Jeff Burton . . . . . . . . . . 2,615 8, Matt Kenseth . . . . . . . . 2,573 9, Tony Stewart. . . . . . . . .2,544 10, Carl Edwards . . . . . . . 2,496 helping him make a commitment to improving the team’s engineering department. He navigated sponsorship issues and kept Harvick from leaving despite public squabbling over his contract.

The team finally appeared to be on the upswing in 2007 and 2008, but took a significant step backward last year, when all four drivers were shut out of victory lane and missed the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Now Childress appears to be solidly back on top.

“The guys on the team ... at RCR are just racers,” Harvick said.

“You don’t have a huge amount of guys that are just, I guess, engineering-based, would be the most polite way to put it. Everybody has raced at a lower level and likes to be a part of doing well and the way that we function at RCR is very blue collar and I like that.”

It’s shaping up as a potential

championship season for Harvick, who leads Jeff Gordon by 184 points after Indy.

Harvick’s stellar season has been playing out somewhat under the radar because he has two victories, while Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin have five each.

The often-outspoken Harvick doesn’t mind being outside the spotlight.

“Absolutely, that makes things a lot easier,” he said. “It lets us focus on what we need to focus on.

The attention and the things that have or haven’t come with that don’t really matter to us as long as we’re getting the results on the race track.”

Burton and Bowyer are contenders, too; if the Chase started today, both drivers would be in.

The team is building better cars — and better engines, in a joint venture with Dale Earnhardt Inc. The company also provides the engines in the cars McMurray and Montoya drive for the Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team, which is the result of a merger between Chip Ganassi’s team and the racing side of DEI. With the championship a real possibility, Harvick still wants to see continued improvement. But he marvels at the progress the team has made.

“It’s pretty hard to put it in perspective just for the fact that last year we were, at best, a midpack car on a good day,” Harvick said Sunday. “(Last year’s Brickyard) was kind of the turnaround where it started, and where last year we got our new cars. And even today when I say we had a top-five car and was capable of winning because we took a chance and were able to run fast enough to have a chance, with our cars last year we couldn’t even take that chance because they weren’t fast enough.”

NASCAR owners hold town hall meeting to discuss issues

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

Bill Kostroun / The Associated Press

New York Jets defensive tackle Kris Jenkins (77) smiles during the football minicamp in Florham Park, N.J., in June. Jenkins is shedding weight one cookie at a time. The New York Jets’ hefty nose tackle tells The Associated Press he has lost about 20 pounds since starting the popular Dr. Siegal’s Cookie Diet in May. Kerry Rhodes.

Jenkins wouldn’t confirm or deny he was talking about Rhodes, who lost his starting job last season and had disagreements with coaches before being traded to Arizona in March.

“When you have any player who comes into the locker room and you’re ready to pad up and suit up and they think they’re better than the team, as a veteran, I’m going to have a problem with that,” Jenkins said. “You’ve got guys out on the field, bleeding and sweating to make sure we can try to be successful. So, when you have an individual that comes to the locker room and thinks they’re above that, it upsets us.”

Jenkins prefers to put all that in the past now, and he’s focused on coming back healthier — one cookie at a time.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The top team owners in NASCAR set their individual agendas aside for a unified brainstorming session on how to cut costs and help revive the auto racing industry.

“We’re all stakeholders in this thing, and we all want to know ‘What can we do to make this better? How can we save some money and help the show?’ ” team owner Rick Hendrick told The Associated Press on Wednesday, the day after representatives from about 10 race teams gathered at Hendrick Motorsports to discuss ideas.

The meeting was an offshoot of the “town hall” style sessions NASCAR has been holding with competitors since early last season to give drivers and teams an opportunity to discuss the issues facing America’s No. 1 racing series. Unable to shake the slide in both attendance and TV ratings, NASCAR and its participants have been working together to re-energize the sport.

“I really like the new attitude in NASCAR,” Hendrick said. “I really like the way we’re all just kicking around something, talk-

ing it out and coming to agreements on how to move this sport forward.”

NASCAR has historically been run by the founding France family as a dictatorship, and although participants could offer opinions, the ruling family made all the decisions. It was somewhat benevolent, though, and the late Bill France Jr. traditionally hosted an annual fishing trip following the July race in Daytona in which drivers and owners could raise questions and concerns away from the race track.

Current NASCAR chairman Brian France has continued the post-Daytona trip, and owners in attendance earlier this month decided to call a meeting for further discussion among a larger group of participants.

NASCAR approved of the idea, and an agenda was set to discuss ideas ranging from restrictions on traveling crew members, tires used in a weekend, the current testing ban and shortening the length of the races.

“NASCAR has become a very different business model,” said Walt Czarnecki, president of Penske Racing, who attended the meeting with owner Roger

Penske. “And we all need to figure out a way, like all business today, to cut costs without impacting the integrity of the product. How do we become more efficient, better business managers?

“We have to face this from the business context, as all businesses have had to do over the last 18 months, and motorsports is no different.”

NASCAR has made several steps over the past few years to alleviate rising costs to team owners, from implementing a single-engine rule, eliminating testing at sanctioned tracks and starting a tire leasing program.

Even the current model car was designed by NASCAR as a costcutting measure.

The sanctioning body is open to listening to more ideas from the owners, and was hopeful Tuesday night’s meeting produced some unified thoughts.

“Cost containment is a key issue in our sport (and) we are always open to additional ideas,” NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said. “Hopefully, the owners will find common ground on some ideas to present to NASCAR for consideration.”

GOLF: PGA TOUR

PGA Tour goes retro with stop at historic resort in West Virginia

By John Raby The Associated Press

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Carl Pettersson felt as if someone had turned back the clock when he arrived at West Virginia’s historic Greenbrier resort.

There’s the white facade of the regal hotel, quaint cottages, horses towing carriages along tree-lined streets, and Sam Snead’s personal playground — the 96year-old Old White golf course.

“It feels like you’re going back to the ’50s or something when you pull in,” Pettersson said Wednesday. “The golf course is a throwback, I think. This is a hidden gem.”

Pettersson hopes to relive some of his own memories from his Canadian Open win when he tees off today in the Greenbrier Classic.

Pettersson shot 60 in the third round at St. George’s in Toronto last week and came from six strokes down with 11 holes left for his fourth PGA Tour win.

Now comes Old White, which has six par 4s at 405 yards or less and rough that isn’t as thick as St. George’s, leading Pettersson and others to believe the winning score could reach 20 under par or better.

“The momentum is great,” Pettersson said. “But in this game, I know it can change from day to day.”

The field for the Greenbrier Classic isn’t as strong as other tournaments — only three of the top 10 money leaders are entered — and some golfers believe those who aren’t here were reluctant to commit to a new tournament.

That could be a bonus for Jim Furyk, who’s fifth in the FedExCup points standings and with a win could leap past Ernie Els into the top spot with four weeks remaining until the playoffs.

“To win and vault to No. 1 and basically be cemented in one of those top three spots for sure is a bonus,” said Furyk, who won earlier this year at Hilton Head and the Transitions Championship. “It’s a big head start to be seeded well. But first and foremost it would be great to have a three-win season. I’ve never done it.”

The PGA Tour returns to The Greenbrier for the first time since Snead, the resort’s pro for 29 years and its pro emeritus from 1993 until his death in 2002, won the Greenbrier Invitational in 1958.

The resort’s rich golf history dates to when President Woodrow Wilson was one of the first to play Old White when it

opened in 1914.

The 1979 Ryder Cup, a Champions Tour event from 1985-87 and the 1994 women’s Solheim Cup were held on the adjacent Greenbrier course.

The resort lost its coveted Mobil five-star rating in 2000. A year ago, West Virginia businessman Jim Justice bought it out of bankruptcy and vowed to restore its shine.

Soon after, PGA Tour official Slugger White, whose friendship with Justice goes back to their boyhood summers playing golf from dawn to dusk in Beckley, called when he heard Justice bought the resort.

“It was really thought of as Emerald City to both of us,” Justice said.

Then the subject of returning professional golf came up. A few months later, the Greenbrier Classic was unveiled, replacing the Buick Open on this year’s schedule.

Justice was only getting started.

He teamed up with former NBA and West Virginia University star Jerry West to open a steakhouse and earlier this month Justice debuted an $80 million underground casino on the property.

This week, besides the $6 million purse and $1.08 million share that goes to the winner, Justice is offering $1 million for any hole-in-one made on the par-3 18th hole, with $750,000 going to charity and players making the ace getting the rest.

There would be a maximum of three payouts per round.

In addition, fans carrying hole-in-one tickets on No. 18 will receive $100 for the first ace, $500 for a second one on the same day and $1,000 for a third.

Whether that happens remains to be seen. The 18th green includes a large ridge in the middle that Stuart Appleby compared to a giant boomerang.

It’s one of many undulating putting surfaces that figure to take some golfers on wild rides. The par-3 third green practically disappears from view from the tees.

“No. 3, you could park your car in it and not even see it,” Johnson Wagner said.

Cross bunkers in the fairways also could get in the way of scoring.

Most of the field hadn’t seen the 7,031yard, par-70 Old White before arriving this week.

“Whoever plays the best is still going to win,” Pettersson said. “I don’t know if it levels the playing field or not. It probably rewards a more aggressive player.”

Tom Watson signs autographs after a practice round for the U.S. Senior Open golf tournament Wednesday in Sammamish, Wash. Watson is expected to play in The Tradition in Sunriver next month.

Northwest Continued from D1 “I don’t know what they are talking about with the bad weather (in the Northwest), it’s been like this (warm and sunny) every time I’ve been here.”

And after the travel the Champions Tour players have endured this week, hovering around the same region should be a nice break.

The Senior British Open ended Sunday, forcing many of the golfers in the field at the U.S. Senior Open to travel to the West Coast, an eight-hour difference from the British Isles, on Monday to get ready for back-to-back major championships on separate continents.

“It’s a terrible schedule; it really is,” said two-time Masters winner Bernhard Langer, who finished in a tie for 17th place at the 2009 Tradition. “I think it’s terrible that we, 50-year-olds, have to play back-to-back majors. The young guys don’t have to do it (on the PGA Tour), and I don’t understand why we would have to go through

X Games Continued from D1 Taking up the challenge, Pastrana will return to the event known here as Freestyle Moto X today. He’s also set to compete in Moto X Best Trick, Rally Car Racing, the new Rally Car SuperRally and Moto X Speed and Style.

The X Games have seen bigger stars — including virtual household names like Tony Hawk and Shaun White — but Pastrana has been the festival’s most enduring and versatile star, who embodies its combination of athleticism, personality and death-defying insanity.

He has won nine gold medals at the games, but in recent years hasn’t even attempted to conquer several events like he did in 2006, when he won three golds and pulled off the first-ever-in-competition double back flip, one of the Everests of the sport and one of the top moments in X Games history.

He’s got something tougher and safer set aside for Moto X Best Trick this year.

The trick, a 720 upright spin that doubles the unprecedented 360 he pulled off in 2003, initially had a scatological name that ESPN’s an-

that. I think something should be done in the future to separate these two events.”

After the Boeing Classic, which is scheduled to end Aug. 29, the Champions Tour will travel south to Northern California for the First Tee Open at Pebble Beach. From there, the many of the golfers will travel to South Korea for the inaugural New Songdo City Championship.

From Europe to Asia in less than two months. That is a lot of travel, even by pro golfers’ standards.

“If you look at our schedule, the last half of the season (13 tournaments) is in a 16-week stretch,” said Fred Funk, who won the 2008 Tradition. “It involves all that travel to Europe and back, and all the West Coast trips. Logistically, it’s a lot more complicated than normal.”

All that travel could have an effect on the regular tour stops, such as the Boeing Classic or the 3M Championship, said Mike Goodes, who finished second at the 2008 Tradition.

“I worry about some of the guys maybe skipping one of these tourna-

ments, whether it be Korea, Pebble (Beach), or Seattle,” Goodes said.

“They are going to play in the JeldWen, that’s a definite. There are going to be that a lot of people who play in all four, but there are going to be some that won’t play in all of them.”

Of all the stops during the next month, there is one spot Reid is particularly looking forward to.

Reid called his win at The Tradition a “watershed” moment in his career.

Before his win at The Tradition Reid was on the verge of losing his exempt status on the Champions Tour.

Now he has confidence back and is playing better golf, he said. And he is looking forward to returning to Central Oregon, the unlikely place Reid found his game again.

“It will be fun to go back there,” Reid said. “It is such a pretty place, that it is easy to sort of look around at that sort of beauty. Then when it comes your turn to play, I just want to be ready for each shot.”

nouncers couldn’t say. It was then dubbed the “toilet paper roll” and finally, in a play on the rider’s initials, “the TP roll.”

Unlike the double back flip, which Pastrana has often said is not technically difficult but requires fierce will and fearlessness, the “TP Roll” is a methodical nightmare, requiring the rider to turn in an unnatural direction the moment he comes off the ramp.

But it does have its advantages over the double back flip.

“If you don’t land it, you’re not gonna die,” Pastrana said with a giggle.

Pastrana expressed some concern that the lingering effect of a collarbone broken on the Nitro Circus tour could leave him without the upperbody strength to do the trick, but at midweek he was still slated to try it.

He isn’t the only major name back in the X Games spotlight.

White, coming off an Olympic gold medal in Vancouver, will return to the vert ramp from a year off spent focusing on snowboarding.

He’s entered in Skateboard Vert, where he won his first summer X Games gold in 2007, and Skateboard Vert Best Trick.

On the women’s side, Ashley Fiolek, the deaf motocross rider who has quickly gone from teen phenom

to X Games veteran, will seek her second straight gold in Moto X. And athletes including Kevin Robinson and Bob Burnquist will take on the X Games’ now-near legendary mega ramp, where skateboarders and BMX riders annually challenge gravity and sanity.

After several years of indoor competition on the mega ramp, athletes will have to deal with the wind as they fly through the sky over the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

The Coliseum is part of a new layout for the games this year, which have settled into semi-permanent status with seven years in the Los Angeles area.

Events have in recent years been split between the Home Depot Center in Carson and the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, but in 2010 the games will virtually all be centered in a revitalized downtown Los Angeles. Most of the events and the games’ carnival-style village will be at the L.A. Live entertainment and sports complex, where ramps have been erected at the Staples Center and next door at the Nokia Theater.

Bigger events, including Pastrana’s Moto X Freestyle, will be held a short hop down the freeway at the Coliseum, instead of miles to the south in Carson.

NCAA sanctions set to take a heavy toll on Southern Cal

By Pete Thamel New York Times News Service

A

t a W hotel in New York City on Tuesday night, the Pacific10 Conference unveiled its new logo, philosophy and direction. Years of apathy about marketing disappeared in a literal cloud of smoke — at a cocktail reception, the Pac-10’s new logo was projected on a wall of smoke piped into the Whiskey Blue lounge.

Well-known guests mingled, with the name tags ranging from Chase Carey, News Corp.’s chief operating officer, to ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit. But amid the optimism, uncertainty hung in the air.

All the revamped branding cannot change the league’s new on-field reality — it will have to thrive this season and beyond with a watered-down version of its flagship program, sanctionriddled Southern California.

The new USC football news media guide perhaps summed that up best, showing a picture of Lane Kiffin, the Trojans’ first-year coach, staring at a cloudy horizon. On the inside, a flurry of asterisks — about 100 overall — tried to erase many of the core accomplishments of the Pete Carroll era.

As the Pac-10 tries a bold makeover, USC is lurching into a meek new era.

C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L C O M M E N TA R Y As the Pac-10 tries a bold makeover, USC is lurching into a meek new era. Seemingly doomed for a long period of mediocrity in the wake of a two-year bowl ban, the loss of 30 scholarships and a flurry of attrition from the ranks of its recruits, the once-mighty Trojans are contemplating life as one of college football’s have-nots.

Seemingly doomed for a long period of mediocrity in the wake of a two-year bowl ban, the loss of 30 scholarships and a flurry of attrition from the ranks of its recruits, the once-mighty Trojans are contemplating life as one of college football’s have-nots.

“They have an us-versus-the-world mentality right now,” Kiffin said about his players. “Everyone is counting SC out a little bit.”

Until recently, considering USC an underdog would have been like lumping the Yankees with the Kansas City Royals or worrying that LeBron James was being hindered by a lack of exposure. The Trojans had cornered the market in sideline celebrities and national cachet and had become one of football’s premier pipelines of talent

into the NFL. But the NCAA’s scathing report about USC has raised suspicions that the university’s success could be tied to its lack of compliance with NCAA rules. As Kiffin tries to lead the program out of its probationary wilderness, he is likely to be held to the unrealistic standards set by Carroll in an era when the Trojans seemed to have engaged in widespread cheating.

“No one likes to see sanctions, especially the magnitude that have been handed down,” said Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott, who along with Kiffin made sure to point out that the sanctions are under appeal. “In the long term, USC is still USC.” The immediate future does not look awful for the Trojans, Washington

coach Steve Sarkisian said. USC’s talent level is clearly the highest in the conference, and the Trojans have one of the country’s top quarterbacks in sophomore Matt Barkley.

“You can trade the bottom 20 guys or 25 guys on your roster for a great quarterback,” Kiffin said. “It’s more important.”

Kiffin may come to regret that remark because his depleted roster may be his biggest obstacle. It fell to 70 scholarship players Wednesday when the university gave a full release to junior college linebacker Glen Stanley.

Four reserves and two signees have bolted the program.

USC was already 15 scholarships short of the NCAA maximum of 85 before the reduction of 30 scholarships began. Kiffin said USC would be unable to exceed 75 scholarships in the next three years.

Kiffin said that USC had brought in just three offensive linemen in its past two recruiting classes. Eight to 10 would have been ideal, and he is feeling the numbers crunch.

“The margin for error is very, very small for me,” Kiffin said. “If we’re going to sign classes of 15 guys and other people are signing 25, the last thing we can do is sign three guys who don’t

make it academically or two guys who end up getting kicked out of school.”

There are other signs that Kiffin’s tenure at USC could be more of a blip than a reign. He said Tuesday that the Trojans’ new athletic director, Pat Haden, has not mentioned anything about extending his contract to help him survive the sanctions. That is a common practice when a coach has to deal with the sins of a previous regime.

From antagonizing Florida coach Urban Meyer to the NCAA’s looking into the Vols’ use of hostesses in recruiting, Kiffin’s ability to make headlines resonated more than his coaching.

Kiffin said he had tried to tone things down at USC, and he said his stunts at Tennessee were publicity ploys for a program in need of a jump start. When Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher publicly scolded and later sued Kiffin and USC in a flap over the hiring of Kennedy Pola, a Titans assistant coach, Kiffin could only say, “Definitely, that was not done on purpose.”

USC still has tradition, a fertile recruiting base and plenty of recent success on its side. But as Kiffin’s first Trojans training camp starts next week, the long-term prognosis is not good as he stares at an emaciated roster and impending sanctions.

FISHING REPORT

Taylor Lake offers anglers good opportunity for bass and blue gill Here is the weekly fishing report for selected areas in and around Central Oregon, provided by fisheries biologists for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife:

CENTRAL ZONE ANTELOPE FLAT RESERVOIR: Antelope Flat Reservoir has been stocked twice with catchable rainbow trout and fishing is good. These fish will be able to take advantage of an ample food supply should grow quickly.

BIG LAVA LAKE: No recent report but fishing for rainbow trout has been good throughout spring and early summer. The fish have been in great condition ranging in size from 11-16 inches.

Reservation): The Deschutes River is open to angling for steelhead and trout from the mouth upstream to Pelton Dam (river mile 100). Fishing for summer steelhead has been good despite slightly warmer water temperatures at the mouth of the river. ODFW encourages steelhead and trout anglers to take normal precautions when water temperatures are high — fish during the cooler parts of the day (mornings and evenings), play and land fish quickly, and keep wild fish in the water as much as possible.

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK TO BENHAM FALLS: The flows are now wellsuited for fishing. Please note this reach of river is restricted to the use of flies and lures only.

EAST LAKE: Recent reports are that trout fishing is starting to pick up.

CLEAR LAKE: Has been stocked with lots keepers and brood rainbow trout. Lake levels may be getting low due to irrigation withdrawals.

FALL RIVER: Fishing has been good.

Nymphs have been particularly effective, but fish also are taking attractor dry fly patterns.

CRANE PRAIRIE RESERVOIR: Trout fishing seems to be slowing with the warm weather. Anglers should target the channel areas.

HAYSTACK RESERVOIR: Fishing is good. Trolling is the most effective method; however, bank anglers are often successful near the dam and fishing platform.

CRESCENT LAKE: No recent reports, but there should be good opportunity for lake trout, brown trout and kokanee.

CROOKED RIVER BELOW BOWMAN DAM: Creel surveys have shown excellent fishing throughout the day.

Flows are currently hovering around 250 cfs and should remain steady with dry weather.

CULTUS LAKE: There have been some good reports of nice rainbow trout and lake trout being harvested from Cultus over the last several weeks.

DAVIS LAKE: Fishing for largemouth bass has been decent if you can hit the water on a non-windy day. Best bass fishing is early or late in the day. No recent reports on the trout fishing. Please note this is a fly-fishing only lake.

DESCHUTES RIVER (Mouth to the Northern Boundary of the Warm Springs

LAKE BILLY CHINOOK: Smallmouth bass fishing is starting to pick up in the reservoir.

LAURANCE LAKE: Trout fishing for native rainbow and cutthroat along with lots of stocked rainbows should make summer fishing good. It’s a great place to fly fish out of a small boat or personal watercraft.

LOST LAKE: Has been stocked with lots of rainbow trout and has a few resident brown trout. Lost is a great place to troll around in a small boat or fish from the bank.

METOLIUS RIVER: Trout fishing has been good. Look for a golden stone hatch on the upper river, with pale morning duns and caddis hatches throughout the river.

NORTH TWIN: No recent reports. North Twin is a great lake to take young

kids to as there is a good beach shoreline and it is protected from the wind. Look to catch rainbow trout in the 8-inch to 13-inch size range.

OCHOCO CREEK UPSTREAM TO OCHOCO DAM: Anglers should be aware that beginning in 2010 new fishing regulations go into effect that permanently restricts fishing to artificial flies and lures only; two trout per day and 8-inch minimum length.

OCHOCO RESERVOIR: Anglers are reporting improved fishing over past years. Opportunities for 12 to 20inch rainbow trout should improve with the warmer weather.

ODELL LAKE: The kokanee have gone a bit deeper but are still being caught in good numbers. Please note that all bull trout must be released unharmed.

PINE HOLLOW RESERVOIR: Pine Hollow has been recently stocked and should offer good fishing for trout.

Anglers have the opportunity to catch all size classes of trout, including large trophy trout.

PRINEVILLE RESERVOIR: Anglers continue to report good fishing and have reported catching larger trout than in recent years.

PRINEVILLE YOUTH FISHING POND: The pond was recently stocked with largemouth bass. Target bass around structures such as trees and rock walls with spinners, plastic worms and night crawlers.

TAYLOR LAKE: Offers anglers a good opportunity to catch bass and bluegill. It’s also a great place to catch carp on the fly rod.

THREE CREEKS LAKE: This small lake near Sisters was stocked in late June and fishing has been very good for both recently stocked and holdover fish.

WALTON LAKE: Access is closed to the public until the U.S. Forest Service renovation is complete. The lake has not been stocked and will not be stocked until access is regranted.

Angling access group provides fun for all

By Paul A. Smith Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

WAUNAKEE, Wis. — For most of their lives, the world defines them with health terms: stroke victim, Down syndrome, quadriplegic.

For at least one weekend a year, they are united under a different banner: anglers.

“That’s a dandy, Rich,” said Bill Kohls, admiring a 20-inch walleye brought in by Richard Doiss. “Now come on, tell us what it hit.”

Doiss is all smiles — and all fisherman. He knows how to keep a secret.

The two men were among 100 anglers taking part in the Fishing Has No Boundaries outing on Lake Mendota.

Founded in Hayward, Wis., in 1986, FHNB is a nonprofit organization that provides fishing outings for people with disabilities. The group has 23 chapters in 11 states.

The Madison, Wis., chapter

has run an event on Lake Mendota since 1995. The 2010 edition, held earlier this month, was headquartered at Governor Nelson State Park.

“We’re saturated,” said Bernie Wendricks, chapter chairman, referring to the 100-participant limit. “It’s great to see.”

A shady, lakefront corner of the state park is taken over for the event by an army, both figuratively and literally.

Some 300 volunteers are on hand to make things work, from food preparation to fishing guides. The list includes a contingent of Wisconsin Army National Guard members.

A huge tent covers dozens of tables and hundreds of folding chairs; an adjacent tent issues fishing tackle.

James Barber of Madison is the chapter’s “director of equipment.”

He displays a range of adaptive items available to participants. The “Strong Arm”

provides an extra rod-holding appendage. Electric reels can be triggered with a finger lever or linked to a wheelchair’s joystick.

The Madison chapter also assembles an impressive “navy” that includes 20 pontoon boats and 40 v-hull fishing boats.

The participants come mostly from greater Madison, but also Janesville, Fort Atkinson, Richland Center and Milwaukee. Thirty-five are in wheelchairs.

For Jon Langer of Madison, that’s no problem. He wheels himself right aboard Boat No. 7 — a pontoon owned and run

by Jim Farmer — locks his chair in position at the bow and promptly lands a 16-inch white bass.

Words aren’t necessary to communicate Langer’s pleasure. He smiles and waves repeatedly to passing boats on the sunny, breezy summer morning.

Rodney Smith, left, of Sandy, and Gary Lewis plan an evening hunt overlooking Lake Hawea on New Zealand’s South Island.

Stag Continued from D1 Forty minutes later, Burdon’s head showed above the tussock.

He handed me the new rifle, a Sako 7mm-08 topped with a Leupold scope and we started up the hill.

Two hundred meters above us was a patch of manuka scrub and Oregon (Douglas) fir.

Across canyon, another group of red deer fed into view, a dozen hinds and a 12-point male. Our deer stopped and let them pass without getting too close. Calmer now, he began to feed again. Six hundred yards out.

The tops of my legs were on fire, my chest heaved with the memory of the mountain we’d climbed away from the Land Rover. This wasn’t the first stag we’d seen this morning, but it was the best, a free-range animal that could call the mountain fastness between Lake Hawea and Lake Wanaka home — rugged country, with peaks capped in white, and nary a fence or a road between the lakes.

New Zealand’s South Island has a climate similar to Oregon’s.

When red deer were introduced in the 1860s, they thrived with no predators, save man. Eventually, both the North and South islands were populated with red and fallow deer from England, Himalayan tahr, chamois from Spain, goats, sheep, wild boar, rabbits and opossums.

Today, New Zealand’s big-game animals are treated like pests that destroy the landscape. There is no big-game hunting synopsis and no license or tags are required.

Hunters are allowed to bring the meat back to the States. It is cheaper to ship trophies in from New Zealand than from Africa.

And, animals from New Zealand do not carry ticks. There are no snakes, no poison oak and few bugs.

As most of the animals were brought from Europe, so were the European traditions of the

hunt and husbandry. But here, in this new country, with its rugged peaks and unpeopled remoteness, the hunt is democratic, not the sole province of the wealthy and privileged.

I felt privileged though. Ten days before, my friend Rodney Smith, VP of Sunspots Safaris (www.sunspotssafaris.com) had called. He was headed to New Zealand and he wanted me to go.

There were six days free in my schedule.

Now I led the way with a light mountain rifle. This could have been the upper Imnaha or the breaks of the John Day with elk in sight. Instead it was wintertime Down Under with animals the size of mule deer that carried headgear as big as an elk’s.

The lone stag with double drop tines fed into a large basin and when we emerged from the manuka scrub, he was on our level, still 500 yards away.

Burdon pointed the way along a deer trail that skirted the basin.

A finger ridge would provide the cover to close the distance, and head him off. Out in the open for a few minutes, we hunched over to keep our silhouettes low to the ground. Burdon outpaced me and eased up to top out on the finger ridge on his belly. Smith and Holt slipped in behind us. Two-hundred-thirty-seven yards.

Trina’s Bubbleback Emerger (red), courtesy Camp Sherman Fly Shop.

By Gary Lewis For The Bulletin

We like attractor patterns because we don’t have to match a particular hatch. And fish, until they’ve become educated to the danger, gobble them up.

Adam Trina’s red Bubbleback Emerger is reminiscent of the Copper John and the Spitfire, other great mayfly-like nymphs that are deadly on the Upper Klamath, the Metolius, Fall River, the Crooked and the Deschutes.

Fish the Bubbleback Emerger in tandem with another small, heavy nymph beneath a strike indicator. In riffled currents, set the indicator at twice the depth of the run. Cast upstream, mend the line and make mi-

cro-mends for a long, drag-free drift. Set the hook if the indicator hesitates, goes cross-current or tears off upstream.

Tie this pattern with red thread on a No. 12-14 curved scud hook. Slide a brass bead up against the eye. For the tail, use pheasant tail fibers. Build the body with pheasant tail fibers, red Angel Hair and fine copper wire. Tie in about eight strands of Angel Hair to create the “bubble” look. Tie in pheasant fibers for the wingcase.

Build the thorax with red Angel Hair behind the bead. Tie down the wingcase then pull the Angel Hair over the bead in a loose bubble. Pull out red Angel Hair ‘legs’ on each side and finish.

FLY-TYING CORNER

On the opposite slope, in ferns up to his flanks, the great deer worked downhill, first quartering toward me, now broadside. Twenty minutes later we stood over a free-range stag won fair in the purest form of the hunt, a solitary animal, perhaps 10 years of age.

Remember that foreign-exchange student program? You may have missed out on it the first time around, but that crosscultural conversation works as well today as it did back then. And students of the hunt are welcome Down Under.

fter a few days of 90-degree weather, I was feeling sticky and lethargic, and I couldn’t get one thought out of my head: Time to go swimming.

I was looking for someplace I hadn’t been before, but that wouldn’t require a lot of work. I decided to check out local favorite Cline Falls.

The 9-acre park, officially called Cline Falls State Scenic Viewpoint, just east of Redmond on the south side of state Highway 126. A small, paved road loops through the park, which hugs the Deschutes River. A few grassy areas along the river open to the water, interspersed among more reedy, riparian patches. Picnic tables, a fish cleaning station, a scarred horseshoe pit and restrooms comprise the amenities.

When I arrived Monday, it was just after noon, and already every grassy opening had a few inhabitants. Most were families with young kids, but in one corner, some young sun worshippers were spreading out for the day, enjoying some tunes thumping from their nearby parked car.

Loud music ruins reception for many wedding guests Dear Abby: “Lost My Appetite in South Carolina” (June 1) walked out of a wedding reception after waiting for a delayed dinner and suffering through the DJ’s “loud, deafening rock ‘n’ roll music.” You chided the writer and suggested he should have asked the hosts to lower the volume somewhat. It’s my experience this doesn’t work. Insanely loud music is part of the contemporary American culture.

I have walked out of at least two wedding receptions because of loud music. A wedding reception is supposed to be an event to enjoy and talk to people. Something is amiss when people are invited to a wedding and become a captive audience, forced to put up with intolerable conditions. Walking out is a reasonable response.

— Paul In Chesterfield, Mo. Dear Paul: It was impossible to turn a deaf ear to the “volume” of letters I received supporting “Lost” for the reasons you expressed. Read on: Dear Abby: Spoiled brides and loopy parents treat weddings like Broadway productions. The guests are just extras in the extravaganza. If people have been invited for dinner and it isn’t being served, they are justified in leaving.

I went to a wedding and was shocked to learn dinner wouldn’t be served until five hours after the reception began because “the bride preferred to dance on an empty stomach.” My husband and I left our gift and took our empty stomachs to a restaurant.

We heard later that the mother of the bride was angry because more than a dozen guests also left before dinner, while the bride danced merrily on.

— J.G. In Los Angeles Dear Abby: You missed an opportunity to point out to your readers that special dinners are a time for family, friends and new acquaintances to renew, rekindle and update their lives and relationships. It might be wise for future wedding planners to

DEAR ABBY instruct the DJ or band to play soft music — or none at all — during dinnertime. Remember, the “bash” goes on after dinner and lasts for hours.

— Cathy Lee In Grosse Point Farms, Mich.

Dear Abby: That letter made me furious! Because of the 30 extra guests we expected, we rented a larger room, hired an extra waiter and bartender and set up additional tables. Because some guests didn’t show up and others left before the meal, we had couples left sitting alone at their tables.

The money we could have saved if some of those ungrateful people had simply declined in the RSVP could have gone to the newlyweds to start their household. Whatever happened to courtesy and good manners?

— Disappointed Mother In Texas Dear Abby: The comfort of one’s guests must be considered in planning an event. I think it’s perfectly acceptable for a guest to leave before dinner, stating, “I’m sorry, but the music has become too loud for me to stay.” It is extremely rude of hosts to expect guests to tolerate dangerous, uncomfortable noise levels.

— Values My Hearing In N.Y. Dear Abby: The “rule” that guests must eat dinner because it was paid for is right up there with the assumption that the price of the gift must be equal to the guests’ share of the cost of the reception.

Utter nonsense! It costs the same whether they eat while suffering from the deafening noise or discreetly making an escape.

‘Eureka’ star does act first, thinks later

By Luaine Lee

Canadian actor Colin Ferguson stars in the Syfy Channel’s hit series “Eureka.”

Ferguson had to overcome debilitating shyness on the road to his acting career.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

PASADENA, Calif. — When he could be solving the Navier-Stokes Equations, Colin Ferguson is portraying Sheriff Carter on Syfy’s quirky “Eureka.”

How could he have gone so wrong? Though Ferguson was a whiz at math in school, he also adored “Family Ties,” and remembers — even as a kid — understanding when they got it right and when they didn’t.

But the Ferguson was also agonizingly shy, so the idea of HIM performing was hard to imagine. “I needed money to go off to college and a buddy of mine wanted to do this improvising workshop. I didn’t have much of a spine to speak of and didn’t want to do it at all, but I did it. After two weeks they asked me to join the troupe and perform in bars,” he says in a noisy cafe here.

“And all of a sudden I was doing comedy in bars. I had a bit of a facility for it. I’d love to go back and watch myself to see if I was actually any good at all. That started it.”

After six months he was performing five times a week and earning a living. “I had done school plays, little parts, I just loved it. But I didn’t think it was — I was very shy — so I was very easy to dissuade. So whenever someone said it wasn’t possible, I said, ‘Oh, OK.’” Ferguson — who spent five years of his childhood in Hong Kong — was so timid, that he’d panic when called on to speak in class. “So this one teacher decided to put me on the debating team. ... You had to give a speech and it turned into a competition every year.

So long story short, I ended up winning the competition.

I’d feel sick and not sleep the night before, just wanted to get through it, but I did well.

‘Eureka’ When: 9 p.m. Friday Where: Syfy Channel

“So because I won that, (the teacher) said, ‘I’m going to put you on the debate team.’ I’d just burst into tears during our prep and go get some air in another room and he comes in and I apologize, ‘I guess you’ll have to get someone else.’ He said, ‘No, you’re going, so figure it out.’ I did terrible for that debate, but I made it through the debate and ended up winning the speech thing of that as well.”

He even competed in an impromptu speech competition in Boston, his first taste of improvisation, which was to serve him well later when he joined Second City and helped establish a Second City in Detroit.

He remembers going onstage,

dropping a couple of quips and suddenly realizing he had won over the audience. “And I knew that I had them, and I could feel myself planning it out, planning it out and hitting, and they’d laugh.

‘Good, next one.’ And it was really calculated. That was the first time I felt, ‘OK, I’m on.’ Now I failed many times later, but that was the feeling when you’re on, when you’ve got it.”hen Ferguson, 38, decided to pursue acting, his stepfather was supportive, but his father had other ideas. “My dad was in mutual funds and insurance. ... The problem was I was really good at school. I was really good at math and they had their heart set on me going into the actuarial sciences, things I wasn’t really going to do.

“So my dad was pretty unhappy with me. He couldn’t understand what it was. I faulted him at the time, but as I got older I realized he was terrified with what I was throwing away.”

Detroit councilman does number on ‘1-8-7’ drama DETROIT — Citing concerns that the new ABC drama “Detroit 1-8-7” reinforces negative stereotypes, Detroit Councilman Kwame Kenyatta on Tuesday called for a resolution that asks that the show change its title, because he says it associates Detroit with murder.

The council briefly discussed and took public comments about the yet-to-debut series at its Tuesday meeting. Some members echoed Kenyatta’s worries, though others wanted to take a wait-and-see approach. No representatives from the show were present.

“I want to see the city’s actors find work, but not at the expense of Detroit being portrayed in such a negative light,” Kenyatta told the Detroit Free Press about the show with “1-8-7” — the Los Angeles penal code for homicide — in its title.

Kenyatta also expressed con-

Aretha and Rice make music at Philly concert PHILADELPHIA — The Queen of Soul and a former U.S. secretary of state have teamed up in a rare joint concert in Philadelphia to raise money for inner-city youth.

The Aretha Franklin-Condoleezza Rice extravaganza Tuesday night featured Rice on the piano accompanying Franklin’s “I Say A Little Prayer” and “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.” Rice, who is trained as a classical pianist, also performed Mozart’s piano concerto in D Minor with the Philadelphia Orchestra.

Franklin also included songs from her new album “A Woman Falling Out of Love,” to be released later this year.

Their aim was to raise money for children from Detroit and Philadelphia, as well as awareness for music and the arts.

cerns that council members weren’t consulted properly for permits to work on the city’s streets or use the city’s police force in different capacities, including consultations.

“I would like to withhold any judgment until it airs,” councilman Ken Cockrel Jr. said of the first prime-time drama to be produced fully in Detroit.

The series, which will follow the lives of several members of a police homicide unit, is set to premiere at 10 p.m. Sept. 21.

ABC told the Free Press in June that the network allocated a budget that will inject more than $25 million into the local economy through production costs for its first 12 episodes. If the character-driven series, starring Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”), is picked up for a full season, which would include nine more shows, many more millions of dollars will be budgeted.

SEOUL, South Korea — Angelina Jolie says she’s worried about the people of North Korea, particularly the persecution defectors face when repatriated to the reclusive state.

Jolie was in Seoul on Wednesday to promote her latest action thriller, “Salt,” which opens with a scene that takes place in a Angelina Jolie North Korean prison.

Jolie, who serves as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, said she got a tutorial on the plight of North Korean defectors from Seoul-based officials from the U.N. refugee agency.

“They spoke a lot about the concerns about people being persecuted when they are sent back to North Korea,” she said.

“I’m very concerned about the people.”

Daniel Craig signs on for ‘Dragon Tattoo’ LOS ANGELES — Daniel Craig has a new mission. The current star of the James Bond films has signed on for the English-language remake of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”

Distributor Sony Pictures confirmed that Craig is taking on the role of journalist Mikael Blomkvist in the thriller based on the first novel in the best-selling series from the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson.

The violent story teams Blomkvist with the title character, Lisbeth Salander, a deeply troubled genius tormented by a terrible childhood, as they delve into the mystery of a missing girl whose disappearance leads them to a string of decades-old murders.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 29, 2010: This year, you remain direct but tuned in, especially to partners, loved ones and close associates.

You might question just how much you can or want to give. We all have limits, including you. Make saying “no” OK. If you are single, realize that you are as attractive as you are. You don’t need to lure others. If you are meant to relate to someone, it will happen. A close bond becomes an increasing possibility.

If you are attached, the two of you open up to new vistas. The more give-and-take in your bond, the more exhilarating it will become.

PISCES understands perhaps more than you would like him or her to.

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) HHH Use your instincts with someone who can be quite annoying. Tune in to a conversation with a child or loved one. Don’t ignore this person. Extremes hit out of the blue. You could be juggling a lot of different concerns.

Tonight: Let go, and take some much-needed personal time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 21) HHHHH Listen to forthcoming news involving another person and perhaps an important friendship.

You can make peace and come up with unusual ideas, only to have a group consensus toss chaos back in. Tonight: Where the action is.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) HHH Stay on top of your game.

Understanding evolves to a new level as you discover what needs to happen. Dealings with loved ones could become difficult.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your creativity emerges around domestic matters or your home. Listen to feedback from someone you trust. Take advantage of an opportunity that drops on you out of the blue. Someone needs to understand where you are coming from. Verbalize; talk.

Tonight: Eye the total picture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You sizzle and open up talks and conversations.

Others might have a hard time understanding the generosity of spirit that marks your actions. Still, don’t overdo it. Tonight: Maximizing the moment ... as only you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Learn to work with the powers that be, which could constantly change from one person to another. Investigate possibilities more frequently, as there seems to be a changeable factor within your circle -- professional or personal.

Tonight: Revise your thinking.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Mars, the fiery planet of energy, anger and sex, moves into your sign. In the next few weeks, somehow you manage to manifest several, but perhaps not all, Martian elements. Focus this energy on your work, and achieve much more of what you desire right now.

Tonight: Whirling through your day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your innate creativity

peaks. Though you might apply it to any issue in your life, squeeze in some humor and laughter. A meeting could spotlight a new supporter, and perhaps an admirer.

Use care with this person. Tonight: Use some of that imagination.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You will zero in on what you want in the next few weeks. If you feel limited right now, don’t worry -you are about to change the shape of your shackles. This experience is necessary to further your long-term desires. Tonight: Mosey on home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep talking and don’t slam any doors. You are driven and will demand a lot in the next few weeks. Investigate what has happened behind the scenes. Go for what you want, understanding you might need to handle different factors. Tonight: Hang out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Curb a more possessive side that keeps emerging. It simply doesn’t become the freedom-loving Aquarian. Look more at the big picture in the coming months. You could gain enormous understanding into you and others. Tonight: Your treat.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Revel in the dynamic energy and change within a partnership. If someone seems to be picking a fight, he or she probably is. You might need to go through this process of anger in order to get to a resolution. Tonight: Others will follow your lead. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Redmond Cli ne F

Continued from E1 It didn’t take long, sitting on my towel in the sun, to work up the courage to step into the chilly water, and I was relieved when I discovered the river to be much warmer than I’d feared.

At Cline Falls, there are a variety of ways to enjoy the river.

You can find sections shallow enough for an adult to walk across, areas with boulders to climb, and a even a fairly deep swimming hole.

The rocky, slightly slick riverbed made me glad that I’d worn my river shoes, and when I spotted a large crawdad (It was really big. Almost lobster-sized.

A crawbster? A lobdad?) scurrying along the rocks underwater, I was grateful my shoes had closed toes.

As the day continued to warm up, the riverbank filled with coolers, folding chairs and sunscreen-scented kids.

A few bathing-suit clad revelers started working a circuit, walking upstream to the edge of the park and dropping inner tubes into the water. After about 10 minutes, they’d climb out at the opposite end of the park and walked back upstream again.

A warning: Don’t get so lulled by tranquil scenery that you forget to hop out of the water before you leave the park. Cline Falls aren’t far downstream, and they can be deadly.

“Cline Falls, Cline Buttes and a now-extinct community were named for pioneer dentist Cass A. Cline,” according to the book “Images of America: Redmond,”

by Leslie Pugmire Hole and Trish Pinkerton. The site was originally given to the state parks division in the 1950s.

Alcohol was banned at the park in 2008 as a result of problems including fighting, drunken driving and minors in possession.

As I relaxed on the bank in the sun, taking a few cycles of my own favorite river circuit — sun, sweat, dunk, repeat — a nap sounded tempting. But I’d read

The Bracelin family, from left, Gary, Georell, Jacey and Trey, with French foreign exchange student Jules Lefevre, eat dinner together most nights. Studies have shown that eating dinner as a family has a number of benefits for kids’ health.

Kids!

It’s time for dinner!

Do you eat together as a family? Experts say dinnertime has nutritional, behavioral benefits

By Betsy Q. Cliff • The Bulletin

T

he Bracelin family has a harried schedule.

Parents Gary and Georell both work.

Their sons, 13-year-old Trey and sixyear-old Jacey, play sports, attend camps and hang out with friends. It’s a challenge to keep up with any one of them, let alone corral them all into one place.

Still, it happens most nights of the week.

The Bracelins have made family dinners a priority, said Georell. They usually eat together at least five nights a week, even if it’s just scarfing takeout or gathering around a picnic table outside.

“Even if it’s a short amount of time, I still love it because we can reconnect,” she said.

“It’s a good time to sit down and talk.”

Experts concur. Study after study has shown that eating meals together as a family has benefits, from ensuring better nutrition to preventing kids from trying drugs or alcohol.

For girls, dining with their families has been associated with a lower chance of eating disorders. It may even be a weapon in the war on childhood obesity.

But evidence shows that many families do not do it enough. Studies have found that about one-third of families eat two or fewer meals together each week.

Teens, who benefit at least as much as younger children, eat dinner with their families even less. Less than one-third of teens eat meals with their families every day, compared with nearly two-thirds of children ages five and younger, according to a national survey.

“Families get really busy these days with sports and extracurricular activities, so finding time is not easy,” said Annie Williamson, a registered dietitian at Bend Memorial Clinic. Still, she said they should. “All the studies have shown that it is beneficial.”

DISEASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS

New law sparks debate on effectiveness of plans

By N.C. Aizenman The Washington Post

How to get kids to the table Plan meals and shop ahead of time.

Be creative with the location. Picnics or tailgates make good venues.

WASHINGTON — Venante Kotey is a stayat-home mother in suburban Washington, D.C. Bridget Hamilton-Roberts is a nurse more than 500 miles away in Atlanta. They’ve never met. But over the past year and a half, Hamilton-Roberts has become critical to Kotey’s health M O N E Y — all through conversations over the telephone.

The two are part of an innovative disease management program that links patients with caregivers nationwide. Every week — and sometimes every day — the nurse calls the mom with tips on how to monitor her Type 2 diabetes with blood sugar and lipid tests. She has enrolled Kotey, 35, in free lessons on how to give herself insulin, persuaded her doctor to provide a faster-acting version, and found her a psychiatrist to treat her depression.

These phone-based programs have sparked debate, with critics claiming there is little evidence that they actually work, and proponents — including many insurance companies — lauding them as precisely the sort of prevention-oriented approach needed to fix the health care system. That debate has gained new salience because of a key requirement of the sweeping health care overhaul enacted

by Congress this year.

Hopkins students design device to help detect premature births

By Kelly Brewington The Baltimore Sun

BALTIMORE, Md. — A group of Johns Hopkins graduate students have developed a device to detect a woman’s likelihood of delivering a premature baby.

The CervoCheck is a small ring embedded with sensors that picks up electrical signals associated with uterine contractions. The ring is designed to be embedded in a woman’s vaginal canal at a physician’s office or hospital.

The device has only been tested on animals at this point. But the students have obtained a provisional patent on the device.

There are about 500,000 premature births in the United States each year, according to The National Center for Health Statistics. A normal pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, while a preterm baby is

delivered before 37 weeks.

Preterm babies may experience complications and health problems. The births can also result in more costly medical bills.

The students, who studied biomedical engineering, said that current technology doesn’t detect preterm labor until it’s too far along. By that time, medications can only delay the birth by a few days. They believe their device can detect the likelihood of early labor sooner and prolong the pregnancy by as much as six weeks. Cost savings could be as much as $44,000 per patient, the students believe.

The students who invented the CervoCheck system were Karin Hwang, Chris Courville, Deepika Sagaram and Rose Huang. They have all recently received their graduate degrees from Hopkins.

M New HIV drug shows promise in gel form

A vaginal gel reduced HIV infection in South African women by more than half, the first hint of success in the long hunt for protection women can use against the virus, according to a study released Monday in Science Express magazine.

“I think it’s a landmark paper,” said Dave O’Connor, an HIV researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, who was not involved in the study.

“It opens up the possibility that we’ll have an intervention that women can use discreetly — that works.”

Women who used an antiretroviral gel faithfully before and after sex cut their chances of getting HIV by 54 percent, while those who had typical use cut their chances by 38 percent, according to the study. The findings were also presented at the International AIDS Conference in Vienna recently.

If follow-up studies show the same result, the gel could potentially save millions of lives and allow women to protect themselves from HIV — even when their partners refuse to wear condoms, said Quarraisha Abdool Karim, lead author of the study and infectious disease epidemiologist at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, in a news conference Monday.

Researchers have long sought a drug that could allow women to stop HIV transmission, but six potential microbicides over the last 15 years failed to curb infection — and one actually increased transmission rates.

Worldwide, 33 million people have HIV, and in South Africa, about one in every three women is infected, said Barbara Jasny, the deputy editor of Science, in a Monday news conference about the trial.

Giving women the power to protect themselves is especially important in Sub-Saharan Africa, where many of the women who are infected cannot get their partners to use condoms, O’Connor said.

The study enrolled 889 rural and city-dwelling women, ranging in age from 18 to 40, who were not using condoms in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Half of the group used a placebo gel, and half received a gel that contained tenofovir, an anti-retroviral drug that prevents the virus from replicating inside cells.

Both groups of women in the study applied the gel once up to 12 hours before sex, and again within 12 hours after sex. Researchers measured how faithfully they applied the gel by counting the number of used and unused gel applicators the women brought back at monthly check-ups.

In the 2½-year study, 38 women using tenofovir were infected with HIV, compared with 60 women in the placebo group, said Salim Abdool Karim, provice chancellor of research at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, who led the study along with wife Quarraisha Abdool Karim.

The findings still need to be confirmed by larger trials and clear regulatory hurdles before it can be marketed, the scientists said. But “they suggest that we could soon have a new method to help reduce the heavy toll of HIV among women around the world,” said Kevin Fenton, the director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, in an e-mail statement.

The researchers don’t know why this vaginal gel worked after the long string of failures that preceded it.

But Salim Abdool Karim, who conducted research on several of those failed drugs, said tenofovir works by a different mechanism.

Tenofovir enters the cells that HIV targets and prevents the virus from replicating, while past candidates mostly tried to prevent HIV from getting into cells in the first place, he said.

How to understand what the doctor says

Spouses of Alzheimer’s patients put health at risk

By Alison Johnson Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

By Anita Creamer McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— Jackie Hackbart is a caregiver under stress.

She can’t leave her husband, Bob, 82, who suffers from dementia, alone in their Citrus Heights, Calif., town house — and she can’t leave him with a sitter, because he forgets where she’s gone and gets distressed.

Since the retired chemical engineer’s diagnosis in 2005, dementia has robbed him not only of memory and cognition, but also of independence.

In many ways, it’s robbed his wife of her independence, too.

“The past five years have been a challenge,” said Hackbart, 78, a retired dietitian.

“Mostly, I try to keep a stiff upper lip.”

But the stiff upper lip exacts a steep toll: Hackbart has been hospitalized twice in the past year for gastrointestinal bleeding, most recently in March.

Gerontologists use the term “caregiver burden” for the ongoing emotional and physical stress of providing care, and research shows that no one feels more caregiver burden than the elderly spouses of dementia patients. They pay the highest price in terms of their own health.

Elderly caregiving spouses have a 63 percent higher chance of dying than people the same age who aren’t caring for a spouse, says the American Medical Association. They’re at particular risk of developing depression and sleep problems.

In a tragic irony, according to a recent American Geriatrics Society study, they’re also six times more likely to develop dementia themselves compared with people whose spouses don’t have dementia.

While two-thirds receive some assistance from other unpaid caregivers — usually their adult children — the number employing outside caregivers has dropped to 35 percent, says the AARP. In short, the burden remains squarely in the home, on the spouse.

“We encourage caregivers to take care of themselves first,” said Denise Davis, Alzheimer’s Association program director. “With any disease, whether it’s dementia, stroke or cancer, the caregiver needs to be taken care of, as well.

“So many of them think they can do it all, and they can do it best. It’s hard for them to let go.”

And it’s hard for them to

Caregiver resources Among the resources available for caregivers: The Alzheimer’s Association’s website, www.alz.org, includes a caregiver stress test and information on depression and how to find local support.

The association maintains a helpline staffed by social workers who can answer questions and provide assistance: 800-272-3900.

The AARP website, www.aarp.com, provides advice and hosts community conversations for caregivers.

“With any disease, whether it’s dementia, stroke or cancer, the caregiver needs to be taken care of, as well.

So many of them think they can do it all, and they can do it best. It’s hard for them to let go.”

— Denise Davis, Alzheimer’s Association ask for help.

After Bob Weast, now 80, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2001, he developed a compulsive eating pattern and other obsessive behaviors, and for a while, he wandered from home. His constant monitoring has fallen in large part to his wife of 55 years.

“A lot of the time, you can’t go places and do things you’d like to do,” said Lois Weast, 73. “There’s nobody available who really understands what’s needed to keep an eye out for him.”

In 2007, she developed pancreatitis and collapsed in their Carmichael, Calif., home.

While she spent weeks recuperating in the hospital and at a skilled nursing facility, Bob lived with their grown daughter, who enrolled him in the Sutter Senior Recreation and Respite program in the Placer County, Calif., suburbs.

“I do a little shopping and maybe a little visiting while he’s there,” said Weast.

On a recent morning at Twelve Bridges Library in Lincoln, Calif., where the program meets four mornings each week, participants worked on making pressed flower bookmarks. Also on the schedule were games, a talk on the Grand Canyon and a chicken tenders lunch. The whole point is to give caregivers relief from their duties: a little breathing room.

“This generation is awesome,” said Joni Trykar, the program coordinator. “It’s their devotion to each other. Their own health is declining. They can’t really make the situation work. But they made a promise to each oth-

er that one wouldn’t put the other in a nursing home.

“I tell people, ‘If you don’t take care of yourself, who will take care of your loved one as well as you do?’ No one will.”

For couples in their 70s and 80s, the challenges can be considerable.

People raised with traditional roles, for example, can find the role reversal uncomfortable.

Caregiving wives have to adjust to paying the bills and doing house and lawn maintenance, Trykar said, while caregiving husbands have to learn to cook and clean and keep social ties alive.

The caregivers confront the living death of the person they knew, as well as their own growing tide of grief.

Maybe most difficult, they have to allow the people they’ve spent their lives caring for — their children — help take care of them.

“It takes reaching out,” said Davis.

Jackie Hackbart admits she hesitates to take advantage of neighbors’ offers of assistance.

But her adult son and daughter are supportive, and her husband attends the Sutter program one morning a week.

“And I read,” she said. “That’s my release. Bob isn’t combative, but he’s stubborn. He’s recently had seizures, and he’s lost another bit of memory. He’s having trouble.”

So is she, though she’d never say so.

Many people leave their doctor’s office feeling, in a word, confused. Here are ways to improve your odds of grasping the facts: Write out questions in advance. Go into an appointment with a list of subjects or symptoms you want to cover.

That way, you don’t have to waste any brainpower thinking about what else you need to bring up you can just listen.

Take notes. Write down the name of any new diagnosis, medication or treatment option and show it to your doctor to make sure the spelling is correct. Also record any instructions or tips given, after repeating them aloud for confirmation.

Keep asking questions. If you don’t understand some-

thing, don’t be afraid to say so.

If there’s a particular word or phrase you don’t recognize, ask about that specifically.

Bring backup. Have a family member or friend come to your appointment to give you an extra set of ears. Or ask if you can use a tape recorder to record the conversation.

Ask for written materials. Doctors often will have brochures or printouts they can give you on a diagnosis or treatment, especially if it’s something common. If not, get the name of a reliable Web site or other resource where you can do more research.

A more healthful mayonnaise? Maybe

By Jennifer LaRue Huget Special to The Washington Post

It’s high season for mayonnaise, traditionally featured in summertime sandwiches, pasta salads, deviled eggs and other warm-weather staples.

Although real mayonnaise has fallen out of favor in recent years, snubbed in some circles for delivering 90 calories per tablespoon, all of them from fat, it may be on the rebound. Kraft and Hellman’s, the leading national makers, have recently introduced mayonnaise products and upped their marketing efforts, duking it out for their share of the mayo-using public.

The time seems ripe, then, to reevaluate mayonnaise. Is it worth eating? And, if so, is one kind better for you than the others?

In its purest form, mayonnaise is simply egg yolk emulsified with oil; it usually has lemon juice or vinegar tossed in for flavor and to slow bacteria growth and is often seasoned with mustard and salt.

As we came to demonize fat in recent decades, mayonnaisemakers altered that formula to concoct light, reduced-fat and even no-fat versions. That, of course, required adding ingredients such as modified corn starch and xantham gum to replicate mayo’s appealing flavor and texture. These mayonnaises generally have far fewer calories than real mayonnaise, in part because many have water as their most plentiful ingredient.

(Some mayo-makers list serving sizes in grams; for the record, 13 to 15 grams equals about one tablespoon, depending on the product.)

The fat pendulum has swung the other way, though, with the recognition that plant-based fats such as soybean, canola and olive oil — all unsaturated fats and sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids — may benefit the cardiovascular system.

Mayonnaise-makers have begun showcasing products made with canola and olive oils, in particular. Those with olive oil typically have water as their most common ingredient, notes Marisa Moore, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

That helps lower those products’ calorie counts.

The presence of fat has the added benefit of helping your body absorb certain nutrients including the fat-soluble vitamins E and A that are found in dark green leafy vegetables and orange ones. While most of us get (and store) enough vitamin A, vitamin E is a nutrient we don’t get enough of, Moore says, though our increased consumption of canola oil may be changing that.

Kathy Kitchens Downie, a registered dietitian and nutrition editor for Cooking Light, says the variety of mayonnaise options allows home cooks to choose the right mayo for the task at hand. If you just need to bind a salad, you

Basic Mayonnaise Kathy Kitchens Downie of Cooking Light and Marisa Moore of the American Dietetic Association agree that making your own mayonnaise is the best way to control the condiment’s calories, sodium and flavor. Bonus: It’s easy.

Makes about 1½ cups MAKE AHEAD: Mayonnaise (without flavor additions) can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.

Adapted from “Forgotten Skills of Cooking,” by Darina Allen (Kyle, 2009) INGREDIENTS: 2 large egg yolks, preferably organic and at room temperature, or more as needed Pinch powdered mustard, such as Colman’s brand (may substitute ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard, such as Maille brand) ¼ teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1 cup sunflower or safflower oil, or a combination of ¾ cup safflower, ½ cup olive oil, at room temperature 1 to 2 tablespoons boiling water (optional) STEPS: Combine the egg yolks, powdered mustard, salt and white wine vinegar in the bowl of a food processor. Measure the oil into a liquid measuring cup that has a spout.

Process the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined.

With the motor running, add the oil drop by drop for about 10 seconds, then in a slow, thin drizzle until you hear and see the mayonnaise forming.

(Alternatively, combine the first 4 ingredients in a bowl. Whisk with one hand continuously while you drip the oil into the bowl drop by drop. Within a few minutes the mixture will begin to thicken. Once that happens, add the oil in a slow, thin drizzle until all of it is used and a thick, creamy mayonnaise has formed.)

If the mixture seems to curdle or become quite thin all of a sudden using either technique, add an extra yolk or 1 to 2 tablespoons of boiling water, a teaspoon at a time, until the mixture emulsifies.

Transfer to a container with a tight-fitting lid; use right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Or use a full-fat kind and mix it with plain non-fat yogurt. For a sandwich, where texture and flavor really count, you might want to splurge on a dab of the full-fat stuff. “It’s a trade-off,” Downie says.

Family

Family mealtime

Continued from F1

Surveys show that families eat meals together less often as children age, even though the benefits of doing so are at least as great for teens as younger children.

Nutritional benefits

Number of days a week that families eat a meal together

Kids who often eat with their families tend to eat better than kids who do not.

They are likely to eat more fruits and vegetables and less likely to eat junk food.

One study, which included more than 4,700 middle and high school students, found that the more often kids ate meals with their parents, the more likely they were to get adequate amounts of calcium, iron, folate, fiber and a number of vitamins. These kids also drank less soda, which has been linked with childhood obesity.

Another study found that teenage boys who ate dinner with their parents were less likely to eat fast food, and teens of both genders were more likely to eat healthful foods when eating family meals.

“When families eat together, (meals) are more nutritious,” said Mia Neeb, a pediatric dietitian at St. Charles Bend. “Families have more control over the quantity and quality of the food when they are eating meals at home.”

When people eat in restaurants, they are not as aware of what is in the food, said Jayne Fulkerson, a psychologist at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing who is involved in research about the effects of family meals. She said most people don’t realize how much fat is in restaurant meals.

Fulkerson said that when parents eat meals with their kids, it allows them to be role models of how to eat well. If kids see their parents eating healthful, balanced meals night after night, they are more likely to pick up on that behavior.

Connecting to kids In addition to better nutrition, eating together has less tangible benefits, said Fulkerson. “At mealtime, if they’re having conversations about what’s going on in their children’s lives, they are maybe more aware of things.”

For Georell Bracelin, the dinner hour is about much more than feeding her kids well. “We can talk to the boys together at one time. We don’t always get a chance to do that.” Because her boys are so far apart in age, seven years, they sometimes do not talk together except at the dinner table, she said.

The family also uses the dinner table to talk about upcoming plans or activities.

“It’s a good time to sit down and talk.”

That kind of connection, Fulkerson said, may lead

to fewer dangerous behaviors among teens. Kids who eat with their families, she said, “are less likely to use alcohol and drugs.”

She is currently studying the type of communication that happens at the dinner table. Even when the food served isn’t nutritious, she said, there are still benefits to being together, developing unity in the family and communication among members.

Beating the time crunch No matter how compelling the evidence that eating as a family provides benefits, life sometimes gets in the way.

Georell said it can be tough, particularly with so many other things tugging at the family. “I have to make a conscious effort every night,” she said. The kids want to be with friends.

Especially as children age, their activities, friends and parents’ own schedules often do not match well enough to be together at dinnertime. Even if everyone is in the house for 20 minutes at the same time, it can be hard to plan and cook a meal.

“Time is a major barrier,” said Fulkerson. The average amount of time to prep a meal, she said, is 20 minutes. Then, most families take about 20 minutes to eat the meal.

To cut that down, experts suggest making food when you do have more time, perhaps on weekends, and freezing it to reheat during the week. “Soups and casseroles are easy to freeze,” said Neeb. She also suggests buying ready-made marinades or sauces to cut down on prep time.

Or make no-cook foods such as salads for dinner.

Another way to cut time is to plan all meals on a weekend, said Jamie Fitch, a registered dietitian with the Oregon State University Extension Service in Bend. Grocery shop for your meals on the weekend and make quick meals — Fitch likes bean burritos — on nights where you know you’ll be pressed for time.

Fitch also says it’s important to be realistic. If there are one or two nights a week when you can’t all eat together, that’s OK. Just try to eat together the next night. “Try your best,” she said.

“Don’t get frustrated when it doesn’t work out.”

Fulkerson said her research showed that families that eat at

6-11

12-17 Greg Cross / The Bulletin

least three meals a week together seem to have better outcomes than those who eat fewer. That, she said, “is kind of a cut we’ve seen that makes a difference.”

But it doesn’t seem to matter which meals are eaten together, she said. So, if your family tends to have more time around breakfast, or even lunch, than at dinnertime, that’s fine, too. The important part is eating as a family regularly.

Teenage independence Eating meals as a family often gets harder as children get older, and many families seem challenged in the teenage years. There are the busier schedules, of course, and the inordinate amount of time spent hanging out with friends.

But parents often get the wrong idea.

“A lot of parents assume their kids don’t want to eat with them,” said Williamson at BMC. “But they really do. So, if parents encourage their kids to come to the dinner table, they will. But a lot of parents dismiss (that idea).”

Fulkerson said that in focus groups run by one of her colleagues, most teenagers reported liking eating meals with their families. “There’s expectations that teens want to be with their friends,” she said. “But they do want to have meals with their parents.”

Teens who reported not liking eating with their parents, Fulkerson said, also said meals can be a source of conflict. She suggested steering clear of topics such as whether kids had completed their homework or other things that parents know cause tension.

Instead, Fulkerson said, meals can be a good chance to inquire about a teen’s life and ask questions. That, she said, “will make them feel supported and more likely to want to be at dinnertime.”

Parents can also be creative about where dinner happens, particularly in the summer when the weather is nicer and sunsets later.

Williamson suggested a picnic or, particularly after a sports game, taking dinner in the car and tailgating in the parking lot.

“It’s a very social thing,” she said. “Kids learn their manners.

They learn how to interact.”

How honest are aspiring doctors?

By Karen Kaplan Los Angeles Times

Apparently, suspicion of prospective doctors is on the rise.

Last week, the Los Angeles Times reported on a study that examined the degree to which candidates for ophthalmology residency programs fudged their resumes by exaggerating — or outright inventing — their role in medical research projects. It turned out that for one program in Little Rock, the rate of such “misrepresentations” (to put it generously) was 8.1 percent.

Similar studies examining the truthfulness of applicants to residency programs in fields including radiation oncology, orthopedics, emergency medicine, pediatrics, radiology, psychiatry and neurology found misrepresentation rates ranging from 1.8 percent all the way up to 100 percent.

This week, researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School addressed a different sort of fraud — plagiarism. They wondered how often aspiring physicians copied the “personal statements” that are an influential part of the application for any residency program.

Personal statements are essentially essays in which applicants describe what led them to a career in medicine, why they want to pursue a particular specialty or anything else that could make them stand out. But just as high school and college students go online to copy other people’s term papers on “Heart of Darkness,” med students may be turning to the Internet to save themselves the trouble

Continued from F1 Starting next year, most health insurance plans will be required to spend 80 to 85 percent of the premiums they collect on medical claims or other activities that improve members’ health. Profits and other costs such as administrative expenses must account for no more than 15 to 20 percent. The Obama administration is drafting regulations that will determine which, if any, disease management programs insurers will be able to count as improving members’ health.

Consumer advocates argue that only programs whose effectiveness has been scientifically proven should be included. But insurers warn that if the rules are so strict that most of their disease management programs don’t qualify, they will be forced to curtail or even drop them.

“We’re talking about turning back the clock on really innovative efforts,” said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for America’s Health Insurance Plans, an industry group.

of writing their own personal statements.

And indeed, they are.

The researchers examined 4,975 personal statements submitted by applicants over two years to the five largest residency programs at the Brigham — internal medicine, anesthesiology, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and emergency medicine. Those applications are a fair approximation of applications submitted all over the country, since 28 percent to 45 percent of all candidates for those five specialties applied for the Brigham’s prestigious training programs.

The researchers used a software program called Turnitin for Admissions to scan the personal statements and compare them to each other and to a database of essays from the Web and elsewhere. The program analyzes blocks of text about 40 characters long and churns out a score to reflect how similar it is to another essay.

It turned out that 5.2 percent of the personal statements got a score of at least 10 (on a scale of 0 to 100), which was judged to be the cut-off for plagiarism.

The finding that about one out of every 20 personal statements is plagiarized to some degree is “worrisome,” the researchers wrote (although they allowed that it could simply reflect a high incidence of cryptomnesia, the technical term for unconscious copying). These unethical applicants are likely to have trouble during residency and may not turn out to be the best doctors.

The study appears in this week’s edition of Annals of Internal Medicine.

Increasingly popular since the early 2000s, disease management has blossomed into a more than $2.4 billion industry, with programs included in practically all plans offered by large employers, in nearly half of group plans purchased by small businesses, and in many state Medicaid programs, according to the human resources consulting company Mercer and the Disease Management Purchasing Consortium.

Details of the programs vary as widely as the range of illnesses and conditions addressed. Some insurers administer them in-house, but more often the service is contracted out to specialized companies.

Hamilton-Roberts’s employer, OptumHealth, is a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group and provides disease management for Delta Air Lines, where Kotey’s husband works. For programs run by insurance plans, the care manager — often a nurse — is usually at a remote location and communicates through phone calls, e-mails or texts.

The 80-85 requirement does not apply to self-insured plans, which are typically provided by large employers. Using a company hired to administer the plan, the employer collects premiums from its employees and pays claims directly, rather than purchasing a group plan on behalf of the employees.

Even supporters of disease management programs worry that the rules being drafted will prove too loose, prompting insurers to lump in all sorts of programs that are at best unproven and at worst actually administrative in nature.

“You cannot trust the insurance industry to police itself.

You have to watch them like a hawk,” said Judy Dugan, research director of the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog.

At a minimum, said Dugan, disease management programs run by insurers should be accredited by an independent organization. The most prominent, the National Committee for Quality Assurance, which has approved Kotey’s program, offers accreditation for those covering only five chronic illnesses: diabetes, asthma, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and ischemic vascular disease.

Dugan and others say the government should also demand that insurers provide evidence that a disease management program they want to count as a health improvement activity actually delivers on that promise. Whether the programs can do so is a matter of dispute.

Industry representatives oppose mandatory testing of individual programs as impractical given the sheer number of programs, the small population each serves and the continual changes that are made to them. But they point to a raft of studies suggesting that programs can produce shortrun benefits such as lowering blood pressure and blood glucose levels.

But most of those studies fail to use the most rigorous

Bridget Hamilton-Roberts, a nurse who is part of a health-management program, speaks to a patient from her home in Atlanta. Programs like this one are being debated as the new health care law takes effect. scientific methods, said Randall Brown, director of health research at Mathematica, a firm that has analyzed such programs for the government.

Soeren Mattke, a senior scientist at the Rand Corp., who has reviewed the limited range of independent scientific studies on the subject, said that there is “very little evidence” that any short-run benefits produced by disease management programs translate into a reduction in the kind of complications that require hospitalizations or emergency room visits.

Brown said that to understand the drawbacks of disease management, it helps to look at what he has found does often work: “care management” initiatives, run not by the insurance company but directly out of a doctor’s office, whose coordinating nurses meet face-to-face with both patients and their physicians.

Patients may be more likely to be responsive to someone introduced to them in person by their doctor, Brown said. Doctors may be more likely to consult and coordinate with a nurse they know well rather than a “disembodied voice” calling from an insurance company. “That in-person engagement can make all the difference in the world.”

The drawbacks

‘Oh, I know this patient has financial problems and I know how much these (education) programs cost.’ Well, the physician doesn’t know that the patient has benefits that will cover that.”

But there are times when personal rapport can’t help overcome the challenge of communicating by phone.

“Ah-SPEE-rion?” the nurse responded quizzically. “I’m not familiar with that. … Don’t do anything as of yet. … These things have to be cleared by your doctor first.”

“Now, what about that aspirin?” Hamilton-Rogers continued, prompting a confused look from her patient. “Are you taking your baby aspirin every day?”

F Blisters Continued from F1 But as the foot comes forward, friction between the sock and the insole, and between the sock and your skin, keeps the foot from sliding forward. That, in turn, transfers some of the force to the layers of your skin.

In the 1960s, scientists studying blister formation performed dissections of skin to see how the process happens. They found that friction creates shear stresses within the skin. If the stress is high enough, tiny tears start to form within the layers of the skin. With continued, repetitive force, the tears combine to form a cleft between the skin layers, which then fills with fluid to create a blister.

The repetitive friction also stimulates the deepest layer of the skin, spurring the production of more skin cells, leading to callouses. But that’s a story for another summer.

The level of the friction depends on the strength of the downward forces. That’s why you’re much more likely to develop blisters when carrying a heavy pack or 30 pounds of extra body fat.

The key to avoiding blisters, Cobarrubia said, is to reduce that friction. That starts with a properly fitted shoe and sock.

Because moisture can add to friction, synthetic socks that wick perspiration away from the skin can help. Hikers often wear a thin synthetic liner sock to reduce friction inside a thicker sock that provides cushioning.

Cotton socks are notorious for increasing friction when wet.

Cobarrubia, who is also an avid triathlete, recommends synthetic, anti-chaffing powder, such as Blister Guard, available at outdoor stores and running shops.

“It works great. Anytime I would do a long run, I would put it in my socks,” he said. “Before, occasionally I would get a blister.

With this, never.”

Some runners use talcum powder to serve the same purpose, but it tends to become a pasty mess once you start sweating. The synthetic products are formulated to stay dry.

Even with the best precautions, however, blisters happen.

If it’s small and doesn’t bother you much, experts advise leaving it intact. The outer layer of skin will protect the sensitive inner layer better than anything else. Eventually the fluid inside the blister is reabsorbed.

Cobarrubia admits to being a bit unconventional when it comes to more painful blisters.

“With small blisters, you always hear people say, ‘Oh, leave it alone.’ Well, how good does it feel to walk on a bubble? It never made any sense to me,” he said.

“I tell people all the time, if it’s bubbly enough and it bothers you, lance it from the side and let it dry up.”

The outer skin will eventually

Stronger hips may mean less knee pain

By Jeannine Stein Los Angeles Times

Knee pain is the bane of many runners, sometimes causing them to give up running altogether. But knee pain might be lessened by strengthening the hips, a new study finds.

The pilot study, presented at the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in Baltimore, tested nine female runners who had patellofemoral pain, which some refer to as runner’s knee, although other athletes are not immune. The pain often feels like a dull ache around or under the kneecap.

All the runners entered the study with knee pain that was graded on a scale of 1 to 10 while the participants ran on a treadmill. At the beginning of the study all runners were at a pain level of 7. All took part in a six-week hip strengthening program, including single-leg squats and exercises using resistance tubes.

According to the study, increased hip strength may have improved dynamic alignment while running, which in turn alleviated the pain.

EXERCISE TIPS

How blisters form Friction blisters are caused by excess shear stress between the surface of the skin and the body.

The skin is made up of various layers. Shear stress creates microscopic tears between two layers of the skins.

die and slough off, but by that time the skin underneath will be less sensitive. Several over-thecounter products are designed to help heal blisters, but Cobarrubia said they don’t add much.

However, “it’s certainly not going to hurt,” he said.

Such products might be more useful in preventing further irritation of the area, particularly if you’re still wearing the same boots or running shoes.

If you decide to lance a blister, sterilize a needle with rubbing alcohol and puncture the blister near its edge and allow the fluid to drain out.

“The one caveat about this is if they’re diabetic, they need to see somebody,” Cobarrubia said.

“Because often, it’s not just a blister. It’s something else going on.”

A blister that contains blood

or pus, or one that seems to go deeper than normal, should also be seen by a doctor.

Blister development can also be interrupted if you treat the problem early. Putting on something like moleskin, a thick padding sold in foot care sections of drugstores, or plastic coverings that will reduce friction, can stop a blister from emerging.

Cobarrubia suggests making it part of the standard gear you take with you when you go hiking.

“If someone is going on a fourday hike, besides the 10 essentials, they need to get an 11th,” he said. “There’s nothing like walking on a bad blister.”

What makes an athlete so fast?

By Jeannine Stein Los Angeles Times

What makes an athlete fast may have more to do with body type than training. Researchers from Duke University and Howard University think the secret may lie in the body’s center of gravity.

Their study, released online in the International Journal of Design and Nature and Ecodynamics, may explain why the fastest sprinters are usually

black, while the fastest swimmers are usually white, a difference that goes back decades.

Though on the face of it this may seem like the differences are racial, the researchers believe they’re really biological.

Blacks, they note, tend to have a slightly higher center of gravity than whites, due to having longer limbs with smaller circumferences. Because Asians and whites tend to have longer torsos, their centers of gravity

are lower.

Those differences may translate into faster times in specific sports. Looking at other studies on the human body, the researchers deemed that, on average, blacks have about a 3 percent higher center of gravity than whites. That may make black sprinters 1.5 percent faster than white sprinters. Using that formula, whites may have a similar advantage over blacks in swimming.
