ROOSTER ROCK FIRE

Forest projects came too late for blaze, now winding down

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

The Rooster Rock Fire was early.

When it started burning Monday, it blazed through an area of Forest Service land near Whychus Creek that the agency was planning to treat within the next couple of months. Crews were to cut out small trees and mow down highly flammable shrubs in treatments designed to calm a fire down.

But instead, the Rooster Rock Fire burned.

It quickly spread to private land, onto the Bull Run Tree Farm that is slated to eventually become the Skyline Forest — and is part of a collaborative 10-year, 130,000-acre restoration project designed to imInside prove forest health and reduce the • Map of forest risk of uncharacteristic wildfires. projects in the It’s just waiting to be funded.

But ponderosa pine forests east of the Cascades naturally burn every decade or two, and without those regular fires, many area forests have grown dense with small trees and thick shrubs, which can burn in uncharacteristically hot and hard-to-control wildfires.

This time, firefighters had resources — but concerns, costs mount

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

State budget cuts did not hinder firefighters’ ability to tackle the Rooster Rock Fire that burned more than 6,000 acres and sent pillars of smoke into the air last week. Fire officials said they had all of the resources they needed to contain the blaze.

As of Friday, the fire had cost $3.6 million to tackle.

Along with other state agencies, the Department of Forestry saw its budget cut about 10 percent this spring. The agency was lucky when it came to cutting the firefighting budget, however, said Jeri Chase, spokeswoman with the department.

Forestry officials decided to hire temporary firefighters later in the season, between one and three weeks after the crews usually come on board, she said.

But because of the wet spring, fires started late as well. So the state’s firefighting forces were all in place by the time Rooster Rock started.

“It could have been very different,” she said. “We don’t feel like we’re particularly impacted firefightingwise. That doesn’t mean that we are not going to be.”

Training requires traveling far from home, but even after 100 Central Oregon soldiers go overseas this fall, keeping in touch will be key this time around

By Erin Golden • The Bulletin PRINEVILLE — n some ways, Brandin Noland expects his job in Iraq will be a lot like the work he does back home.

As an officer with the Prineville Police Department, Noland has to think quickly on his feet to defuse tense situations, get someone to talk when they don’t feel like talking and earn the trust of people struggling with a particularly bad day. As a soldier with the Oregon Army National Guard, he’ll trade his patrol car for a mine-resistant vehicle and police uniform for combat fatigues, and try to use the same skills to help people in an unfamiliar place.

“It’s about interacting with people,” he said.

“D’s are simply not useful in society,” said Larrie Reynolds, the Mount Olive superintendent, who led the campaign against D’s as a way to raise the bar and motivate students to work harder. “It’s a throwaway

This no-D policy adopted recently, though, has led to a flurry of Facebook messages from students calling it the worst idea ever.

The mark of an overdose • Across the country, patients receiving CT brain perfusion scans for strokes are receiving overdoses of radiation — and a distinctive pattern of hair loss. The overdoses, which began to emerge late last summer, set off an investigation by the Food and Drug Administration into why patients tested with this complex yet lightly regulated technology were bombarded with excessive radiation. After 10 months, the agency — which vows to crack down — has yet to provide a final report on what it found, but a New York Times investigation reveals some clues. See Page A8.

In April, just as about 2,700 Oregon troops with the Guard’s 41st Infantry Brigade Combat team were returning home from Iraq, the soldiers of the 3-116 were notified they’d be going to Iraq in the fall.

In a couple weeks, they’ll leave for a month of training in Idaho. The troops will get a four-day pass to come home in mid-September, and then the deployment will begin in earnest, with two final months of training at Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, Miss. By November, they’ll be in Iraq.

While a high-profile battle rages over a mosque near ground zero in Manhattan, heated confrontations have also broken out in communities across the country where mosques are proposed for far less hallowed locations.

In Murfreesboro, Tenn., Republican candidates have denounced plans for a large Muslim center proposed near a subdivision, and hundreds of protesters have turned out for marches and planning board meetings.

At one time, neighbors who did not want mosques in their backyards said their concerns were over traffic, parking and noise — the same reasons they might object to a church or a synagogue.

But now the gloves are off.

In all of the recent conflicts, opponents have said their problem is Islam itself. They quote passages from the Quran and argue that even the most Americanized Muslim wants to replace the Constitution with Islamic Shariah law.

These local skirmishes make clear that there is a debate now going on about whether the best way to uphold America’s democratic values is to allow Muslims the same religious freedom enjoyed by other Americans or to pull away the welcome mat from a faith seen as a singular threat. “What’s different is the heat, the volume, the level of hostility,� said Ihsan Bagby, associate professor of Islamic studies at the University of Kentucky.

The mosque proposed for a site near the former World Trade Center has cleared the final hurdle before New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission.

How many mosques?

There are about 1,900 mosques in the United States, which range from makeshift prayer rooms in storefronts and houses to large buildings with adjoining community centers, according to a preliminary survey by Bagby, who conducted a mosque study 10 years ago and is undertaking another.

A two-year study by a group of academics on American Muslims and terrorism concluded that contemporary mosques are actually a deterrent to the spread of militant Islam. It disclosed that many mosque leaders had put significant effort into countering extremism by building youth programs and scrutinizing teachers and texts.

Still, feeding the resistance is a growing cottage industry of authors and bloggers — some of them former Muslims — who are invited to speak at rallies, sell their books and testify in churches.

In each community, interfaith groups led by Protestant ministers, Catholic priests, rabbis and clergy members of other faiths have defended the mosques, but they have been slower to organize than the mosque opponents, though their numbers have usually been larger.

In Temecula, about 60 miles north of San Diego, a Muslim community has been there for about 12 years and expanded to 150 families who have outgrown their makeshift worship space in a warehouse, said Mahmoud Harmoush, the imam. The group wants to build a 25,000-squarefoot center, with space for classrooms and a playground.

Harmoush said the Muslim families had contributed to the local food bank, sent truckloads of supplies to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and participated in music nights and Thanksgiving events with the local interfaith council. “We do all these activities and nobody notices,� he said.

Recently, a small group of activists became alarmed. Diana Serafin said she reached out to others she knew from attending tea party events and anti-immigration rallies. “As a mother and a grandmother, I worry,� Serafin said. “I learned that in 20 years with the rate of the birth population, we will be overtaken by Islam. ... “I do believe everybody has a right to freedom of religion,� she said. “But Islam is not about a religion. It’s a political government, and it’s 100 percent against our Constitution.�

Medical team massacred Bulletin wire reports KABUL, Afghanistan — They hiked for more than 10 hours over rugged mountains — unarmed and without security — to bring medical care to isolated Afghan villagers until their humanitarian mission took a tragic turn.

Ten members of a Christian medical team — six Americans, two Afghans, one German and a Briton — were gunned down in a gruesome slaughter that the Taliban said they carried out, alleging the volunteers were spying and trying to convert Muslims to Christianity.

The gunmen spared an Afghan driver, who recited verses from the Islamic holy book Quran as he begged for his life.

Team members — doctors, nurses and logistics personnel — were attacked as they were returning to Kabul after their two-week mission in the remote Parun valley of Nuristan province about 160 miles north of Kabul. They had decided to veer northward into Badakhshan province because they thought that would be the safest route back to Kabul, said Dirk Frans, director of the International Assistance Mission, which organized the team.

The bullet-riddled bodies — including three women — were found Friday near three four-wheeled drive vehicles in a wooded area just off the main road that snakes through a narrow valley in the Kuran Wa Munjan district of Badakhshan, provincial police chief Gen. Agha Noor Kemtuz said.

Frans said the team had driven to Nuristan, left their vehicles and hiked for nearly a half day with pack horses over mountainous terrain to reach the Parun valley where they traveled from village to village on foot offering medical care for about two weeks. “This tragedy negatively impacts our ability to continue serving the Afghan people as IAM has been doing since 1966,� the charity said in a statement. “We hope it will not stop our work that benefits over a quarter of a million

Afghans each year.�

Among the dead was team leader Tom Little, an optometrist from Delmar, New York, who has been working in Afghanistan for about 30 years and spoke fluent Dari, one of the two main Afghan languages, Frans said. Little, along with employees from other Christian organizations, was expelled by the Taliban government in August 2001 after the arrest of eight Christian aid workers — two Americans and six Germans — accused of trying to convert Afghans to Christianity. He returned to Afghanistan after the Taliban government was toppled in November 2001 by U.S.-backed forces. Known in Kabul as “Mr. Tom,� Little supervised a network of IAM eye hospitals and clinics around the country largely funded through private donations. “He was a remarkable man, and very committed to helping the people of Afghanistan,� said David Evans of the Loudonville Community Church in New York, who accompanied Little on a 5,231-mile road trip to deliver the medical team’s Land Rover vehicles from England to Kabul in 2004. “They raised their three girls there. He was part and parcel of that culture,� Evans said.

Another relief organization, Bridge Afghanistan, said on its website that the group included one of its members, Dr. Karen Woo, who gave up a job in a private clinic in London to do humanitarian work in Afghanistan.

A message posted last March on the Bridge Afghanistan website said she was “flat broke and living in a war zone but enjoying helping people in great need.�

Names of the other foreigners

Taliban targeting aid workers Aid workers often have been targeted by the Taliban and other insurgents. In 2007, 23 South Koreans from a church group were taken hostage in southern Afghanistan. Two were killed; the rest were later released. In August 2008, four International Rescue Committee workers, including three women, were gunned down in Logar province in eastern Afghanistan.

And in October 2008, Gayle Williams, who had dual British and South African citizenship, was killed by two gunmen on a motorcycle as she walked to work in the capital of Kabul. were not released until the bodies could be brought to Kabul for identification, Frans said. Frans said the International Assistance Mission, one of the longest-serving nongovernmental organizations operating in Afghanistan, is registered as a nonprofit Christian organization but does not proselytize.

Authorities in Nuristan heard that foreigners were in the area and sent police to investigate, according to Nuristan Gov. Jamaluddin Bader. The police provided security for the final three or four days of the mission and escorted them across the boundary into Badakhshan, he said. The escorts left after the team told them that they felt safe in Badakhshan, he added.

A shepherd witnessed the carnage and reported the killings to the local district chief, who then brought the bodies to his home, Kemtuz said.

American PR offensive highlights attacks on civilians

By Jonathan S. Landay and Dion Nissenbaum McClatchy-Tribune News Service

In one of his first major initiatives since he took command of the international force in Afghanistan a month ago, Gen. David Petraeus has launched a public relations offensive to focus attention on the Talibanled insurgency’s killings and abuse of Afghan civilians.

Besides issuing press releases, Petraeus has urged President Hamid Karzai to speak out more forcefully against the insurgency’s targeting of civilians, according to U.S. officials.

Karzai has been quick to scorn the U.S.-led international force for accidentally killing noncombatants, but far more restrained in condemning deliberate acts by insurgents, officials said.

“Insurgents regularly use misinformation ... to try and discredit our operations. They’ll tell them that we’ve desecrated the Quran or burned women and children. It’s something we battle every day.� — Senior NATO official The initiative is a new facet of the U.S.-led campaign to reverse the insurgency’s growth and win popular support for the Karzai government. The campaign also aims to improve governance, build critical infrastructure and crack down on corruption.

The Taliban have been able to win support and recruits by exploiting the accidental killing of civilians by U.S.-led troops — despite findings by the U.N. and human-rights organizations that in-

surgents are to blame for the vast majority of civilian casualties.

A review of the more than 300 press releases issued by NATO’s U.S.-led forces during Petraeus’ first month found that about a quarter have focused on Taliban attacks and other acts that harmed or endangered civilians.

The releases included reports of the insurgents’ use of mosques to hide arms; the bombing of a mosque; the indiscriminate killing of civilians by improvised explo-

sive devices, or IEDs; the killing of children by suicide bombers and an alleged order by Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar to his fighters to kill women who work for Western organizations.

On Tuesday, the NATO force issued a release intended to discredit a “revised code of conduct� it said Omar issued last month, instructing his fighters to avoid harming civilians. At least 43 civilians have been killed and 65 wounded in Taliban attacks since the code was issued, the release said.

U.S. officials have long conceded they are losing the information war. “The insurgents regularly use misinformation ... to try and discredit our operations,� a senior NATO official said. “They’ll tell them that we’ve desecrated the Quran or burned women and children. It’s something we battle every day.�

As waters reopen, oil crisis isn’t over for fishers

CASTRO’S FIRST SPEECH IN YEARS ADDRESSED TO OBAMA

Little interest FURNITURE in new push OUTLET to revise14th Amendment

By Sandhya Somashekhar The Washington Post

By Mary Foster and Brian Skoloff The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — The rich fishing grounds of the Gulf of Mexico are beginning to reopen more than three months after crude began gushing from the sea floor. But those who harvest, process and sell the catch face a new crisis — convincing wary consumers it’s not only delicious, but also safe.

As BP closed the books on a defining week in its battle to contain the oil, with engineers finally forcing the surging crude underground with a torrent of mud and cement, people along the Gulf Coast began looking to the future — including the fishing industry, which has a tough sell despite tests showing the catch seems safe to eat.

“We have a huge perception problem,” said Ewell Smith, director of the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board. “We have lost markets across the country, and some of them may be lost for good.”

The Gulf accounts for a majority of the domestic shrimp and oysters eaten by Americans and about 2 percent of overall U.S. seafood consumption. But with safety suspicions abounding, consumers are turning up their noses, and some wary suppliers appear to be turning to imports.

Tammy McNaught arrived in New Orleans from San Francisco on Saturday for a long weekend, and after seeing months of news coverage about the oil spill was trying to decide whether she would eat seafood and how much.

“It’s probably nothing, but I’m not sure if it is safe. However, if it’s deep fried, you know it is going to be OK,” McNaught said, laughing.

BP last week finished pumping mud and cement into the well that blew out after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

Spokesman Max McGahan said Saturday that engineers were still waiting for the cement to harden so work could begin on drilling the final 100 feet of a relief well.

When that relief well intersects the broken well, workers will pump more cement and mud in a “bottom kill” to seal the well permanently.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, August 8, 2010 A3

Frankly Reyes / The Associated Press

HAVANA — A lively and healthy-looking Fidel Castro appealed to President Barack Obama to stave off global nuclear war in an emphatic address to parliament Saturday that marked his first official government appearance since emergency surgery four years ago.

Castro’s speech lasted barely 11 minutes — possibly a record for the man who became famous for his hours-long discourses during 49 years in power — and was largely devoid of his usual America bashing.

Castro has been warning in written opinion columns for months that the U.S. and Israel will launch a nuclear attack on Iran and that Washington could also target North Korea — predicting Armageddon-like devastation and fighting he expected to have already begun by now.

“I thought that the imminent danger of war didn’t have a possible solution. So dramatic was the problem that I didn’t see another way out,” Castro told the legislature. “I am sure that it won’t be like that and, instead ... one man will make the decision alone, the president of the United States.”

Castro didn’t mention domestic Cuban politics or the foundering economy — instead sticking to the threat of war, the issue for which he convened Saturday’s special session of parliament.

The White House had no immediate comment.

Castro’s attendance, along with a slew of recent public appearances following a nearly four-year absence from public view, is sure to raise more questions about how much of a leadership role Castro, who turns 84 Friday, is ready to reassume.

GOP combs McCain turf for seats

By Jeff Zeleny New York Times News Service

4PNF PG UIF NPTU WVMOFSBCMF JODVNCFOUT

Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C., says America faces a new and growing foreign threat: illegal immigrants and tourists who come here for the express purpose of giving birth so their children obtain citizenship.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and other top Republicans quickly jumped on the issue and called for hearings.

The senators said their concerns arose from recent reports of a burgeoning “birth tourism” industry, which helps expectant mothers abroad travel to the U.S. to deliver their babies. They also said that birthright citizenship, which is granted by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, could provide an incentive for people to enter the country illegally.

But even the most vocal critics of the country’s permissive immigration laws are skeptical of the efforts, which they say are particularly emotionally charged because they affect children and families.

“The energy spent on ending birthright citizenship might be better spent reducing illegal immigration through a commitment to immigration law enforcement generally,” said Jon Feere, legal policy analyst for the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that backs stricter immigration policies.

Nevertheless, raising the issue could prove beneficial to Graham and McCain, who have rocky relationships with the conservatives whose support they need to stay in office.

Groups that study immigration trends say the number of “birth tourists” to the United States is relatively small, perhaps a few thousand a year. The number of U.S. citizens born to illegal immigrant parents is believed to be much higher; there were about 4 million such children living in the United States in 2008, according to the Pew Hispanic Center.

Some who support curbing birthright citizenship argue that the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted. Immigrant advocates, meanwhile, say birthright citizenship promotes assimilation into society.

Small plane crashes into Pa. home; 2 bodies found The Associated Press SALINA, Pa. — A twinengine plane slammed into a house in western Pennsylvania minutes after takeoff on Saturday, killing two men, and narrowly missing a man sleeping on his couch with his dog and setting the residence on fire.

Dan Stevens, Westmoreland County spokesman, said the plane, on a certification flight, went through the house and landed in the garage, passing just to the right of the man when it came down in a rural area about 90 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

“God was on his side, without a doubt,” Stevens said.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the BE58 Beech Baron took off from Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Latrobe, Pa., at 9:08 a.m.

Saturday and crashed 11 minutes later.

Stevens said the bodies were recovered from the wreckage shortly after 3 p.m. after rescuers unearthed the plane from the collapsed garage. He said autopsies were scheduled for today. Officials believe only two men were aboard but were continuing the search and had not yet unearthed the tail section or confirmed the plane’s identification number.

— Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

By Peter Nicholas and Janet Hook McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — If Ronald Reagan was the classic Teflon president, Barack Obama is made of Velcro.

Through two terms, Reagan eluded much of the responsibility for recession and foreign policy scandal. In less than two years, Obama has become a magnet for blame.

Hoping to better insulate Obama, White House aides have sought to give other Cabinet officials a higher profile and additional public exposure. They are also crafting new ways to explain the president’s policies to a skeptical public.

But Obama remains the colossus of his administration — to a point where trouble anywhere in the world is often his to solve.

The president is on the hook to repair the Gulf Coast oil spill disaster, stabilize Afghanistan, help fix Greece’s ailing economy and do right by Shirley Sherrod, the Agriculture Department official fired as a result of a misleading fragment of videotape.

What’s not sticking to Obama is a legislative track record that eluded recent predecessors. Political dividends from passage of a health care overhaul or a financial regulatory bill have been fleeting.

Instead, voters are measuring his presidency by a more immediate yardstick: Is he creating enough jobs? So far the verdict is no, and that has taken a toll on Obama’s approval ratings. Only 46 percent approve of Obama’s job performance, compared with 47 percent who disapprove, according to Gallup’s daily tracking poll. “I think the accomplishments are very significant, but I think most people would look at this and say, ‘What was the plan for jobs?’� said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D. “The agenda he’s pushed here has been a very important agenda, but it hasn’t translated into dinner table conversations.�

Reagan was able to glide past controversies with his popularity largely intact. He maintained his affable persona as a small-government advocate while seeming above the fray in his own administration.

Reagan shifted fault Reagan was untarnished by such calamities as the 1983 terrorist bombing of the Marines stationed in Beirut and scandals involving members of his administration. In the 1986 Iran-Contra affair, most of the blame fell on lieutenants.

Obama lately has tried to rip off the Velcro veneer. In a revealing moment during the oil spill crisis, he reminded Americans that his powers aren’t “limitless.� He told residents in Grand Isle, La., that he is a flesh-and-blood president, not a comic book superhero able to dive to the bottom of the sea and plug the hole. “I can’t suck it up with a straw,� he said.

But as a candidate in 2008, he set sky-high expectations both about what he could achieve and what government could accomplish.

Now, most people would prefer to see Obama focus on his promise of “good jobs.�

A recent Gallup poll showed that 53 percent of the population rated unemployment and the economy as the nation’s most important problem. By contrast, only 7 percent cited health care — a single-minded focus of the White House for a full year.

No gold stars At every turn, Obama makes the argument that he has improved lives in concrete ways.

Without the steps he took, he says, the economy would be in worse shape and more people would be out of work. There’s evidence to support that. Two economists, Mark Zandi and Alan Blinder, reported recently that without the stimulus and other measures, gross domestic product would be about 6.5 percent lower.

Yet Americans aren’t apt to cheer when something bad doesn’t materialize.

Unemployment has been rising

minded gay-rights advocates that one powerful voice is not in their camp: Barack Obama. “The president ... felt (Proposition 8) was divisive, he felt that it was mean-spirited,� David Axelrod, a top adviser, told MSNBC on Thursday, but “the president does oppose same-sex marriage.�

(Axelrod did note that Obama supports civil unions and other benefits for gay couples.)

Obama has said repeatedly he would like to see the federal Defense of Marriage Act of 1996, which essentially restricts marriage to one man and one woman, repealed. But the Justice Department has defended the constitutionality of the law, which it is required to do.

To many activists, that’s unacceptable. During a rally in Washington in October, Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP, firmly linked the gay-rights struggle to the civil rights movement, saying gays and lesbians should be free from discrimination. “Black people of all people should not oppose equality, and that is what marriage is all about,� he said.

A matter of style

The Associated Press file photo

President Barack Obama holds a joint news conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai at the White House in May. With problems in Afghanistan, the economy and the Gulf of Mexico — and now in California, with last week’s federal ruling overturning that state’s ban on same-sex marriage — Obama is the ultimate target for conservatives and liberals alike. — from 7.7 percent when Obama took office to 9.5 percent. In June, more than 2 million homes in the U.S. were in various stages of foreclosure — up from 1.7 million when Obama was sworn in. “Folks just aren’t in a mood to hand out gold stars when unemployment is hovering around 10 percent,� said Paul Begala, a Democratic pundit.

Insulating Obama Insulating the president from bad news has proved impossible.

Other White Houses have tried doing so with more success. Reagan’s Cabinet officials often took the blame, shielding the boss.

But the Obama administration is about one man. Obama is the White House’s chief spokesman, policy pitchman, fundraiser and negotiator. No Cabinet secretary has emerged as an adequate surrogate. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is seen as a tepid public speaker; Energy Secretary Steven Chu is prone to long, wonky digressions and has rarely gone before the cameras during an oil spill crisis that he is working to end.

So more falls to Obama, reinforcing the Velcro effect: Everything sticks to him. He has opined on virtually everything in the

hundreds of public statements he has made: nuclear arms treaties, basketball star LeBron James’ career plans; Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.

And now, a culture war is brewing, and this time it’s Obama’s absence that has been criticized. On Wednesday, a federal judge in San Francisco overturned California’s Proposition 8, which restricts a marriage to one man and one woman. U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker ruled the law violates federal equal protections and due process laws.

An appeal was immediately filed, and that process could eventually force the U.S. Supreme Court to confront the question of whether gays have a constitutional right to wed. But Wednesday’s court victory immediately re-

Few audiences are off-limits.

Last month, Obama taped a spot on ABC’s “The View,� drawing a rebuke from Ed Rendell, Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, who deemed the appearance unworthy of the presidency during tough times. “Stylistically, he creates some of those problems,� Eddie Mahe, a Republican political strategist, said in an interview. “His favorite pronoun is ‘I.’ When you position yourself as being all things to all people, the ultimate controller and decision-maker with the capacity to fix anything, you set yourself up to be blamed when it doesn’t get fixed or things happen.�

A new White House strategy is to forego talk of big policy changes that are easy to ridicule.

Instead, aides want to market policies as more digestible pieces.

So, rather than tout the health care package as a whole, advisers will talk about smaller parts that may be more appealing and understandable — barring insurers from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions.

But at this stage, it may be late in the game to downsize either the president or his agenda.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said: “The man came in promising change. He has a higher profile than some presidents because of his youth, his race and the way he came to the White House with the message he brought in. It’s naive to believe he can step back and have some Cabinet secretary be the face of the oil spill. The buck stops with his office.�

Historic sites could slow stimulus work

By Abigail Sewell McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — A routine federal requirement that’s intended to preserve historic sites threatens to delay some economic stimulus projects around the country.

Federally funded projects that could affect sites with historic value are required to undergo reviews that consider ways to minimize disturbance of the sites.

Projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are no different.

In some cases, that’s meant delays in getting crucial stimulus projects out the door, and therefore in pumping stimulus dollars into the economy.

So far, there have been only scattered delays, but the state and tribal offices that conduct the reviews say they’re concerned they won’t have enough resources to keep pace with all the reviews that will be needed in the next round of projects.

Historical review frequently has been time-consuming. What’s different now is that state and tribal reviewers say the influx of stimulus-funded projects is increasing their workload while the budgets to carry out that work are flat or declining.

In a Government Accountability Office report in February, officials at the Departments of Commerce and Transportation said the historical review process had affected the selection and timing of projects.

Out of the 16 states surveyed, one — California — told the GAO that historical reviews already had caused delays in getting projects out the door, and six other states said the reviews might cause delays.

“Last time, especially in the Central Oregon area, there was very little help for families.

Now there’s a lot more programs here.”

Deploy Continued from A1 The Oregon Military Department hasn’t released specific details about where the troops will be working, but officials have said they’ll be based somewhere in northern Iraq and will primarily be responsible for protecting military vehicles moving around the area.

To prepare for the job, the soldiers have been spending more hours working on their skills as individual soldiers, but now, they’re shifting the focus to interacting as teams.

The 3-116 has companies based in The Dalles, Ontario, Hermiston and, until recently, Redmond, which was home to Bravo Company. In the lead-up to the deployment, the Guard decided to split up the Redmond soldiers among the other companies, which means they’ve been traveling far from home for regular training and working fast to get to know the men and women they’ll be serving with in Iraq.

For some, including Noland and Spc. Trey Bailey, of Redmond, the deployment is a first.

Bailey, 23, joined the Guard about 51⁄2 years ago. For most of that period, he’s been a full-time student working on a bachelor’s degree in nursing — and always known that he could get called up to serve overseas.

“It was kind of inevitable, with two wars going on,” he said.

This summer, Bailey finished up his nursing coursework and checked off a few other major milestones. He got married in July and is gearing up to buy a home with his wife.

When he comes home, Bailey hopes to get a job as an emer-

In Iraq, Bailey’s medical training could come in handy, but it won’t be his main responsibility.

Over there, he’ll be operating an M-240 machine gun mounted on a heavy-duty vehicle known as an MRAP — short for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected.

Lt. Col. Phil Appleton, the battalion commander, said most of the missions will be what soldiers refer to as a “turn and burn” — a trip that’s close enough to go out and back in a single day.

The soldiers will face many of the same risks that others have encountered since the start of the war, notably the chance of running into an improvised explosive device.

But Appleton said his troops are

KAGAN SWORN IN AS 112TH (AND 4TH FEMALE) JUSTICE

J. Scott Applewhite / The Associated Press

Elena Kagan was sworn in Saturday as the 112th person, and fourth woman, to serve on the Supreme Court, continuing a generational and demographic transformation of the nation’s highest bench.

In keeping with tradition, Kagan first took the constitutional oath given to a wide array of officials and then the judicial oath administered to those wearing the robe. Joined by family and friends in the Supreme Court building, she swore to “administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich.”

The low-key formal ceremony came two days after she was confirmed by the Senate and a day after President Barack Obama marked her ascension with a jubilant televised celebration in the East Room of the White House. She was Obama’s second successful nominee to the court, and her approval by the Senate was taken as a jolt of validation for a White House battered by political and economic troubles.

Succeeding Justice John Paul Stevens, the court’s retiring liberal leader, Kagan, 50,

presumably will not drastically change the philosophical balance on the divided court.

But if she were to serve until she was 90, as Stevens has, she would have four decades to shape the nation’s legal architecture, long after the man who appointed her left the White House. Even a shorter tenure would give her time to leave her mark.

Arguably, Kagan made a mark from the moment she took the oaths Saturday. She is the third woman on the current court, joining justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor. She is also the fifth justice born after World War II, making that group a majority, and she brings down the average age on the court to 64, from nearly 69. And she is the first person since William H. Rehnquist, 38 years ago, to join the court without experience as a judge.

Kagan won’t be formally installed as a justice until Oct. 1 in a courtroom ceremony at the start of the court’s new term. Holding the Bible is Jeffrey Minear, center, counselor to the chief justice.

“The whole operating environment has changed,” he said.

For many soldiers, this will be a second — or third or fourth — tour in the Middle East.

About 380 soldiers from the La Grande-based 3-116 Cavalry deployed to Kirkuk, Iraq, in June 2004 and returned home in November 2005.

First Sgt. Pete Heidt, 43, of Prineville, served in Iraq in 2004 and 2005 with the 82nd Cavalry’s G Troop, then based in Redmond.

On that deployment, he supervised nine men on mortar missions. This time, he’s responsible for 130 soldiers, including his 20-

year-old son, Kory, of Redmond.

Though the assignment is different and his management responsibilities have multiplied, Heidt said, preparing for this tour is similar to what he went through the first time around.

to stay in touch with family and friends on a daily basis.

And as the soldiers prepare to leave, he said, there’s an increased focus on ensuring families are kept in the loop. The Guard has sponsored a series of meetings in different communities for spouses and families to get information about the deployment and resources for everything from insurance benefits to counseling.

“Last time, especially in the Central Oregon area, there was very little help for families,” Heidt said. “Now there’s a lot more programs here.”

Noland’s wife, Mandi, 26, said she’s glad to know she can turn to the Guard’s Family Readiness Group for help. But she’s lucky to have her own support network of family, friends and co-workers to help while her husband is away.

She said one of the most important parts of the deployment is these last few weeks, when the entire family can spend time together and talk about how they’ll stay in touch when Brandin heads to Iraq.

Before he leaves, he’s planning to write down 365 messages for his daughters and put them all in a fishbowl. Every morning, Mandi will tell the girls to pick one message to read.

Noland’s 7-year-old daughter, Kilee, said she’s been enjoying the summer with her family, but knows that the next several months will be different.

When asked what she’ll miss most during the next year, her response was simple: “Daddy.”

C OV ER S T ORY Forest restoration and the Rooster Rock Fire The Forest Service has several projects planned or in the planning process around the Rooster Rock Fire area and has completed or awarded projects to reduce fire fuels at some sites.

Fires Continued from A1 While the Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry and others have launched projects in the greater Sisters area to clear out some of the small trees and brush, they are limited by funding and resources. And often the agencies focus on the areas closest to communities and at the greatest risk.

A couple of forested sites near the Rooster Rock Fire perimeter have been cut, mowed and treated to reduce fire fuels. And the Forest Service has plans to treat other areas as well. But the treatments can’t all happen at once, said Brian Tandy, silviculturist with the Sisters Ranger District.

“We only have so much funding, so much work force,” Tandy said. “So there’s only so (many) things we can take on at a time.”

The agency has finished a plan for the Sisters Area Fuels Reduction project (SAFR) south of Sisters, and contractors have completed some of thinning efforts called for under that plan — including a seven-mile-long, 600foot-wide buffer that could have helped protect Sisters residents had the Rooster Rock Fire headed in a different direction.

“If the fire had gone more northeast instead of southeast, that fuel break would have been between the fire and private ground,” Tandy said.

With about $2 million in federal stimulus money, the Forest Service has awarded about 6,000 acres worth of fuels-reduction contracts, including a corner near the start of the Rooster Rock Fire.

Some of the work has been completed, some will be done in the coming months and more will be completed in 2011 and 2012, Tandy said.

The agency will start planning a new thinning project called Popper just to the west of Skyline Forest and in the coming years will start a project designed to include land burned in the northwest corner of the Rooster Rock Fire.

Typically the district has the funds and the manpower to plan one project a year, ranked according to which areas are close to residences, which sites are in the worst shape and what opportunities for treatments exist, Tandy said.

This year, the Deschutes National Forest received about $4.5 million for thinning and fuels treatment work, said Jean NelsonDean, spokeswoman for the national forest. With that, crews

Rooster Rock Fire expected to be contained Tuesday Firefighters held the Rooster Rock Fire near Sisters at 6,134 acres Saturday and say the blaze could be contained by Tuesday.

treat about 23,600 acres across the 1.6 million-acre forest.

Still, it’s not enough to meet what’s needed to improve forest health, Waltz said.

“Right now, the Forest Service is not able to keep up with what has happened over the last 60 years of fire suppression,” she said. “It’s not enough to catch up and increase the resiliency of these stands.”

Many logging and thinning projects also draw lawsuits and appeals. The Glaze Meadow Project, designed to improve forest health and fire resiliency near Black Butte Ranch, was the first project in more than a decade on the Sisters Ranger District that involved some commercial timber but was not appealed.

Although the SAFR project was appealed, the issue was settled out of court and didn’t result in any changes to the plan, Tandy said.

The other large projects planned in the area have not reached the appeal period.

Private land While the Forest Service prioritizes treatments on federal land, the Oregon Department of Forestry focuses on fuels-reduction treatments on large parcels of private land, said Stu Otto, stewardship forester with the state agency.

“Fires like this again point out that we’ve still got a lot of ground out there that probably needs work,” Otto said.

Most of the Rooster Rock Fire is on industrial forestland, he said, which is treated differently than areas close to communities because there aren’t homes or other structures that pose a concern.

For areas near communities, however, the Department of For-

estry depends on grants from a federal program to help landowners do fuels-reduction work closer to that interface, he said. But the funding isn’t steady, and the agency focuses on landowners who own large parcels near highly developed subdivisions.

The agency pays about half of the project work, while landowners are expected to provide the other half of the cost, which can range from $300 to $700 an acre.

“We’ve been hampered a bit with the state of the economy,” Otto said. “Landowners would like to do this kind of work, but they don’t have the money for the match.”

The state worked with one resident in the Rooster Rock Fire area to reduce fuels on his property, he said, and that home and others survived the fire intact.

Most of the agency’s work has been in subdivisions like Crossroads or Tollgate, which have a higher risk of fire under Sisters’ Community Wildfire Protection Plan and so are targeted first.

As more work is done in those areas with the highest risk, areas like Plainview near the Rooster Rock Fire boundary will move up on the list of priorities.

“On an annual basis, sometimes we’re very fortunate and maybe we get one or two grants,” Otto said. “But sometimes we go through and don’t get any funded.”

Project Wildfire is a Bendbased organization that helps coordinate and carry out fuelsreduction projects for Deschutes County representatives. Katie Lighthall, project manager, said funding has been harder to obtain in recent years.

“Instead of 10 grants coming to Deschutes County, we’re lucky if we can get two,” she said.

The National Fire Plan Community Assistance grant program that Project Wildfire receives money from gave away $7 million in 2001, but only $3.3 million in 2008, according to its website.

Collaborative project One potential source of funding for fuels-reduction projects is from a federal Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration program.

A coalition of groups, including the Forest Service, conservation organizations, timber industry representatives and municipalities, has put together a restoration proposal for a 100,000-acre parcel of federal land — plus the 30,000

acres of the Skyline Forest.

The project has been recommended for $10 million in funding, Waltz said, which would go to a decade of work on the federal lands.

“It was really the result of collaborative prioritization efforts that looked at ecological conditions,” she said, noting that the area also includes two municipal watersheds. “These are forests that are out of whack.”

Wildfires will burn, she said.

But the goal is to return the forest to a more natural state in the right areas, to make it easier for firefighters to suppress blazes and protect homes.

The Rooster Rock Fire got pretty big, pretty fast, said Phil Chang with the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, another designer of the project, and it highlights the importance of thinning projects and other fuels-reduction treatments.

“This fire would be behaving differently if that area had been treated already,” he said.

Continued from A1 The cuts also resulted in reduced contracts with helicopter crews. Officials also cut back on some of the fixed-wing aircraft patrols, Chase said, which are helpful in spotting fires before they grow and are harder to control.

Cuts to Department of Forestry staff also shrinks the pool of people available for the department’s teams that can staff fires if needed — although the agency will still try to field three of these teams, as usual, Chase said.

At a federal level, the U.S. Forest Service was able to get all of the crews and equipment it needed for the Rooster Rock Fire, said Jean Nelson-Dean, spokeswoman with the agency.

During busy fire seasons, different fires have to share resources, depending on where the greatest need is. But because the Central Oregon fire was the only major wildfire last week — an unusual situation — there was no need to coordinate whether crews or air tankers or other resources were available, she said.

“Right now, on the Rooster Rock, we have all the resources we need,” Nelson-Dean said Friday.

Continued from A1 The new policy has been debated on soccer fields and around swimming pools in this suburban township in northwestern New Jersey. Even some teachers have expressed concerns that it may result in more students’ failing.

“I really don’t like it,” said Chris Radler, 13, who is entering ninth grade; he said it was unfair and would increase the pressure on students. “If you’re a little bit less than a C, but not quite an F, you’re still going to fail. Some kids aren’t at that level yet. They aren’t able to get that upper grade.”

But parents like Christine Priest, a mother of six, applaud the new policy for reinforcing a message that they have long taught at home: D’s are not good enough. “With my kids, we always told them a D is an F,” she said. “D just wasn’t enough of an effort.”

Under the old system, students could pass with a 65 — 389 of the 1,500 students at Mount Olive High had a D on their final report cards in June — but now anything lower than a 70 will be considered failure.

An F ‘watch list’

Space station repair mission cut short after ammonia leak Bulletin wire reports

Students attend a summer school class at Mount Olive High in New Jersey. This fall, officials in the school district here adopted a tougher standard: There will no longer be any D’s, only A’s, B’s, C’s and F’s. Some parents are already ahead of the game: “With my kids,” says one, “we always told them a D is an F.” nice college is going to see all D’s on a report card and want to accept that student.”

Reynolds said he used a similar grading policy — “A, B or do it over” — when teaching college classes in Wichita, Kan., in the late 1990s. About half of his students in those classes had to rewrite their initial papers, he recalled, but eventually nearly everyone was turning in work that merited an A or B. “I have never given less than a B,” he said.

In summer school last week, 79 Mount Olive High students were repeating classes they had failed during the year. Mark Fiedorczyk, the summer school principal, said he expected to see an increase next summer because of the no-D policy.

Still, Fiedorczyk, who teaches seventh-grade science during the year, said the higher standard was just what some students needed. In June, he handed out D’s to a half-dozen students, all of whom, he said, were capable of C’s if they had tried harder. Instead, they had skipped homework and projects, and showed up unprepared for tests.

“I have kids who walk the borderline,” he said. “They know it. They admit it. They calculate what they need to get the D.” At which, another teacher joked: “Then they’ll turn around and say they can’t do math.”

For Aphrodite Georgakopoulos, 16, the no-D policy means she will have to work a lot harder to avoid summer school again. She is repeating world history and Algebra 2 after getting lazy about assignments or just giving up in frustration, she said.

“It’s not like I can’t do it; it’s just that I won’t push myself,” she said.

“I don’t know why. I need someone to be constantly on top of me, making sure I do everything.”

Down the hallway, Sean Robinson, 17, who is retaking Spanish, said he hoped that students would feel better about themselves in a D-free school, and that Mount Olive’s higher standard would raise its profile in the region.

“Normally, I just wouldn’t try, but I feel like if I did badly, I’d bring down my school’s GPA,” he said. “My mom will be happy.”

TEHRAN, Iran — Over the past year, conservatives here have often fulminated against the role played by Iranian exiles, who helped organize protests against the disputed 2009 election across the globe.

But the Iranian government recently paid for several hundred “highly placed” Iranians living abroad to come back for a three-day, all-expensespaid trip. They were invited as part of a high-profile effort to shore up Iran’s pariah image, win over some of the expatriates and, not least, draw some much-needed foreign capital to Iran’s troubled economy.

The guests were treated to a music, a fawning speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad — complete with oddly inappropriate wisecracks — and a trip to the tourist destination of their choice.

The event did not exactly go as planned.

The gathering, officially known as the Grand Conference of Iranians Living Abroad, is based on the idea that “lying media organizations outside the country with the aim of painting a black picture of the situation in Iran have created an incorrect impression such that some of our countrymen do not have a bright and clear picture of Iran,” as the conference organizer, Mohammad Sharif Malekzadeh, said in April.

But no sooner had the visitors arrived in Tehran than hardliners condemned them as traitors. Some clerics were offended by the musical performance, which featured women playing traditional music alongside men. The visit aroused such a storm in the media that the Tehran City Council removed all banners and billboards advertising it, said Khabar Online, an Iranian website.

In short, the conference underscored an ambivalence that had been part of Iranian political culture ever since the revo-

BIRMINGHAM, England — Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari wrapped up his visit to Britain by addressing a political rally Saturday, facing criticism and protesters for touring overseas as floods killed more than 1,500 people in his country.

One heckler threw a shoe at Zardari during the event, missing the president, while outside the convention center police cordoned off more than 100 protesters.

Zardari told supporters his trip to Britain had been a success, and that he had raised tens of thousands of pounds for flood victims at home.

Authorities evacuated thousands of Pakistanis living along expanding rivers on Saturday as forecasts predicted even more heavy rain could deepen the country’s flood crisis. As the prime minister appealed for national solidarity, hardline Islamists rushed to fill in the gaps in the government’s aid effort.

Pakistani officials estimate as many as 13 million people have been affected by the worst flooding in the country’s 63-year history; the U.N. estimates the number at 4 million.

lution in 1979: an evangelizing impulse coupled with a deep distrust of those who ventured outside the fold. As a result, an event that was aimed at polishing Iran’s image ended up showcasing many of the country’s bitter internal divisions.

To some of the visitors, the trip was nothing more than a junket to visit relatives, paid for by a government they despised. One attendee grinned when asked about the conference. “They brought a couple of hundred of us here, all with Ph.D.s and MDs, just to listen to their propaganda,” said the man, an engineering professor who left Iran 30 years ago and now lives in the U.S. “Lots of us just wanted to see our families.”

The expatriates’ visit also highlighted divisions among conservatives. Ahmadinejad’s chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, helped organize the event and was featured in its promotional videos. His involvement drew denunciations from some conservatives who accuse him of holding liberal ideas and unorthodox religious beliefs.

“Who is it that is taking advantage of the name and position of the president?” asked an editorial in the far-right newspaper Kayhan.

Unexpected ammonia leaks and a jammed quick-disconnect fitting derailed a marathon eight-hour spacewalk Saturday to replace a coolant system pump aboard the International Space Station, forcing the astronauts to delay the repairs until a second excursion Wednesday.

Michael Suffredini, manager of the space station program at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, said he was “disappointed” and that a third spacewalk will most likely be needed to resolve the leak and bring a replacement pump on line.

The pump shorted out last Saturday, knocking one of the lab’s two ammonia coolant systems out of action and forcing the sixmember crew to reduce power usage to keep critical equipment from overheating.

The Expedition 24 crew was not in any immediate danger, but the reduced power meant an interruption of scientific research and left the lab one failure away from a major cooling problem that could, in a worst-case scenario, force the crew to evacuate.

From the start, NASA described the repair work as some of the most challenging ever attempted at the 220-mile-high complex.

While few high schools have banned D’s outright as Mount Olive has, some have sought to tamp down grade inflation by quietly tightening their standards over the years. Several New Jersey high schools, for instance, have raised the minimum for D’s to 70, which is traditionally the C-minus range, with anything below deemed an F. Mount Olive, an above-average school in a middle-class community, is developing a support system to help students meet the tougher grading standard. When students receive a failing grade on a test, a paper or a homework assignment in the future, they will have three days to repeat the work for a C, and their parents will be notified by phone or e-mail.

Students who continue to fail will be placed on a “watch list” to receive extra-help classes, as well as tutoring from other students. If they need to make up a failed course, they will be given the option of attending an evening school, known as “Sunset Academy,” that will charge a fee of $150 per class.

The total cost of these support efforts to the district is expected to be less than $10,000, school officials said.

Max Werner, 17, an A-student whose father, Mark, is president of the school board, said he and his friends liked the no-D policy because no one should be satisfied with such a low mark.

“People are going to have to try harder,” he said. “It’s not like a

THE RADIATION BOOM

After stroke scans, serious health risks Editor’s note: This New York Times series examines issues arising from the increasing use of medical radiation. For the full story, visit www.nytimes.com.

Michael Heuser lost clumps of hair and had other problems after receiving a radiation overdose at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

When Alain Reyes’ hair suddenly fell out in a freakish band circling his head, he was not the only one worried about his health. His co-workers at a shipping company avoided him, and his boss sent him home, fearing he had a contagious disease.

Only later would Reyes learn what had caused him so much physical and emotional grief: he had received a radiation overdose during a test for a stroke at a hospital in Glendale, Calif.

Other patients getting the procedure, called a CT brain perfusion scan, were being overdosed, too — 37 of them just up the freeway at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, 269 more at the renowned Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and dozens more at a hospital in Huntsville, Ala. The overdoses, which began to emerge late last summer, set off an investigation by the Food and Drug Administration into why patients tested with this complex yet lightly regulated technology were bombarded with excessive radiation. After 10 months the agency has yet to provide a final report on what it found.

But an examination by The New York Times has found that radiation overdoses were larger and more widespread than previously known, that patients have reported symptoms considerably more serious than losing their hair, and that experts say they may face long-term risks of cancer and brain damage.

The review also offers insight into the way many of the overdoses occurred. While in some cases technicians did not know how to properly administer the

MOSCOW — A suffocating smog from wildfires hung over the Russian capital Saturday, raising the concentration of dangerous pollutants to a new high as exasperated residents donned masks and dozens of flights were delayed or diverted at the city’s airports.

The thick haze engulfed Moscow for a second straight day as southeastern winds blew smoke from the areas worst affected by peat bog and forest fires. Weather experts said the winds are unlikely to change over the next few days.

The concentration of airborne pollutants such as carbon monoxide has further intensified and is at more than six times normal levels, according to city health officials — the worst seen to date in Moscow. The smog has seeped into buildings and the city’s subway system.

“I can’t bear it any more,” said Anna Kozyreva, 25. “My parents have left the city. All I want to do is breathe normally, but my job doesn’t allow me to leave.”

“The smoke is everywhere — at home, in shopping malls, on the subway,” added Roman Morozov, a 29-year old architect.

Visibility was down to a few hundred meters, and dozens of flights bound for Moscow’s Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports were diverted to other airports or delayed.

Nearly 600 separate blazes were burning nationwide Saturday, mainly across western Russia. At least 52 people have died and 2,000 homes have been destroyed in the blazes.

Iraq marks 5 months of impasse in mourning

By Anthony Shadid New York Times News Service

BAGHDAD — A car bomb detonated a fuel tank in Iraq’s secondlargest city, Basra, on Saturday, spreading fire through a crowded market, Interior Ministry officials said, in the worst attack of the day that marked five months since Iraqis voted for a new government that has yet to be created.

In all, 30 people were killed in attacks Saturday.

For weeks, American and Iraqi officials have said they expect violence to grow as the American military reduces the number of its troops to 50,000 from about 64,000 by the end of the month. The withdrawal comes amid anxiety in the streets over the political paralysis, which could last months more, and growing fears that insurgents are trying to reorganize in regions like Baghdad and Fallujah, where they long had a presence.

American officials have echoed those worries. “We have seen alQaida attempt to reassert itself,” said the U.S. military spokesman, Maj. Gen. Stephen Lanza.

Witnesses reported a hellish scene in Basra, about 340 miles south of Baghdad, as electric wires ignited spilled gasoline, Interior Ministry officials said.

They said the bomb had set off the fuel tank, though the police in the city maintained that a generator next to the tank, common in a city with prolonged blackouts, had malfunctioned, causing the explosion.

“A big explosion threw me from my seat,” said Haider Salih, the owner of a nearby shop. “I saw bodies everywhere, but I didn’t know who was dead or alive.”

Some people at the scene angrily blamed the deadlock among Iraq’s political leaders. “Where is the government?” asked another resident, Mohammed Bakir. “Everyone is busy fighting over a seat in the government, and we’re left alone. No one looks after us.”

The toll of at least 16 dead and 110 wounded, many of them burned by the fires, was the worst amid a spate of assassinations, gun battles and bombings that rattled Baghdad and still-turbulent regions to the north and west of the capital Saturday.

test, interviews with hospital officials and a review of public records raise new questions about the role of manufacturers, including how well they design their software and equipment and train those who use them.

The Times found the biggest overdoses at Huntsville Hospital — up to 13 times the amount of radiation generally used in the test. Officials there said they intentionally used high levels of radiation to get clearer images, according to an inquiry by the company that supplied the scanners, GE Healthcare.

Experts say that is unjustified — and potentially dangerous.

The FDA was unaware of the magnitude of those overdoses until the Times brought them to the agency’s attention. Now, the agency is considering extending its investigation, according to Dr. Alberto Gutierrez, an FDA official who oversees diagnostic devices.

More and more cases So far, the number of patients nationwide who got higher-thanexpected radiation doses exceeds

400 at eight hospitals, six in California alone, according to figures supplied by hospitals, regulators and lawyers representing overdosed patients. A health official in California who played a leading role in uncovering the cases predicts that many more will be found as states intensify their search.

The FDA acknowledges, that the number does not capture all the overdoses.

Even when done properly, CT brain perfusion scans deliver a large dose of radiation — the equivalent of about 200 X-rays of the skull. But there are no hard standards for how much radiation is too much.

For a year or more, doctors and hospitals failed to detect the overdoses even though patients continued to report distinctive patterns of hair loss that matched where they had been radiated.

After the FDA issued a nationwide alert asking hospitals to check their radiation output on these tests, a few hospitals continued to overdose patients for weeks and in some cases months afterward, according to records and interviews.

Four of the hospitals involved were identified in recent months: LAC + USC Medical Center, where one patient received seven and a half times the amount generally used; Bakersfield Memorial Hospital, where 16 people received up to five and a half times too much; South Lake Hospital in central Florida, where an unknown number of patients received 40 percent more than usual, and an as yet unidentified hospital in San Francisco, government officials said.

None of the overdoses can be attributed to malfunctions of the CT scanners, government officials say.

At Glendale Adventist Medical Center, where Reyes and nine others were overdosed, employees told state investigators they consulted with GE last year when instituting a new procedure to get quicker images of blood flow, state records show. But employees still made mistakes.

The FDA, in trying to assess the scope and cause of the overdoses, has had to rely on state radiation control officials for information.

But if the state of Alabama is any indication, the agency is not getting a full picture.

A Huntsville Hospital spokesman, Burr Ingram, said that about 65 possible stroke patients there had been over-radiated.

Lawyers representing patients say the number of overdoses is closer to 100.

Nonetheless, Alabama officials say the number is actually zero since the state does not define an acceptable dosing level. “No such thing as an overdose,” said James McNees, director of Alabama’s Office of Radiation Control.

A low moment One day last August, the radiation safety officer at CedarsSinai, Donna Early, decided she had to act.

It was a low moment for such

an esteemed institution. Patients were being over-radiated during CT brain perfusion scans, hospital officials concluded, and it was Early’s job to tell county health officials.

The genesis of Early’s alert was an event on the morning of July 4, when a 52-year-old executive producer of films, Michael Heuser, arrived in the emergency department with stroke symptoms.

A “code brain” was immediately called, signaling a life or death situation. A blood clot in the brain can be dissolved with medicine, but doctors must do it within several hours, before brain cells die from a lack of oxygen. So Heuser was rushed into a room with several CT scanners, where he underwent one brain perfusion study and at least one more later.

A CT perfusion scan, which lasts about 45 seconds, can identify a stroke through a series of blood flow images.

Heuser did have a stroke, from which he would recover. But other parts of his body inexplicably began to break down.

“I had a full body rash, my whole body, legs, armpits, bottom, my back, with these red welts,” Heuser said.

It burned and itched. Then clumps of hair began to fall out.

“I went completely bald in a perfectly symmetrical 4-inch wide band that extended from ear to ear all the way around my head,” he recalled. The hospital, he said, responded by offering him a hair piece.

Finally, a doctor was so struck by the unusual nature of Heuser’s hair loss that he took a picture. A second patient reported similar hair loss. Eventually, the hospital made the connection, and on Aug. 28, Early called country health officials, records show.

From then on, as the accounting of overdoses reached 269 over a period of 18 months, Heuser would be known in government reports simply as “Patient 1.”

Bus route links Madras, Warm Springs Seeking missing

By Megan Kehoe The Bulletin

The Cascades East Transit system has added a new route running from Madras to Warm Springs.

“It was a natural expansion,” said Karen Friend, deputy director of the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council. “It’s been a priority in Jefferson County for quite some time.”

The route runs nine times daily — four in the morning and five in the afternoon, according to Friend. The route links Madras and Warm Springs, with scheduled stops at Madras WorkSource, Warm Springs Plaza, downtown Warm Springs, Warm Springs Vocational Rehabilitation and KahNee-Ta High Desert Resort & Casino. The routes begin at 5:40

a.m. and end at 7:33 p.m, costing a rider $6.25 for a day pass, or $5 for seniors or people with disabilities.

“Warm Springs was the only community not tied to the transit access,” said Friend. “Now, Warm Springs, as well as other Central Oregon communities have access to each other.”

According to Friend, riders of the Madras-Warm Springs

route will be able to take the route without making reservations until September, though it’s recommended that users call ahead of time to confirm the schedule. CET will then hold a forum in September to gather public input about the route, discussing what residents like about it and what needs to be improved.

First-ever Race for the River draws hundreds, with proceeds going to benefit streamflow

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

quinting into the sun Saturday morning, Ken Bicart surveyed the flotilla of inflatable crafts edging into the current of the Deschutes River at Riverbend Park, and tried to get a little betting action going.

What are the odds his wife’s cheap inflatable ring — bought the night before at a grocery store — would run out of air

and sink before she reached the Columbia Street Bridge?

Bicart, 37, of Prineville, grinned and said he was willing to take any bets anyone was ready to make.

“Absolutely, I have no confidence in her whatsoever,” he laughed.

Barely 15 minutes later, Pam Bicart climbed out of the water near the Les Schwab Amphitheater, vindicated, still mostly dry, and fast enough for 20th place in the “floatie” division of the first-ever

Race for the River.

“It was great, I want to do it again next year,” said Pam, 44.

A benefit for the Deschutes River Conservancy, the race drew a couple hundred competitors, each of whom paid $15 to race as swimmers, in kayaks, rafts and canoes, or on stand-up paddleboards and air mattresses. Competitors paid an extra $5 a head to take their dogs along for the ride, and received a free dog-sized life jacket from Bend-based Ruff Wear.

Zach Tillman, of the Deschutes River Conservancy, said proceeds from the event will go toward the nonprofit’s primary mission of restoring streamflows in the Deschutes.

COCC revising how it handles remedial learning

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

As Central Oregon Community College’s enrollment has surged over the past three years, a new type of student has emerged.

The college has seen a torrent of students in their late 20s and 30s returning to college for retraining, or showing up for the first time. And more than ever, the students streaming through the col-

lege doors are not actually ready to take college-level classes.

That’s led college officials to examine how they’re serving students who need remedial courses, and now COCC is implementing changes it hopes will make their college experiences more successful.

“We’re trying to look holistically, to look not just at the instructional side but also the student sup-

port side,” said Instructional Dean Michael Holtzclaw. “Those are things that will help with retention and successful completion.”

It’s part of the college’s strategic enrollment management, with COCC administrators coming together to look at data gathered on students enrolled at the college, then figure out how to serve those students better.

Right now, the group is focused

on increasing the number of students applying for and receiving financial aid; improving the experience of Latino and Native American students; adding to the number of credit courses offered through nontraditional methods like on the Web; and determining how well students who participate in the college’s high school programs do when they get to COCC.

UO athlete center twice as pricey as top condo

By Rachel Bachman The Oregonian

PORTLAND — The University of Oregon academic center for athletes that opened in January, paid for entirely by benefactor Phil Knight, cost about twice as much per square foot as Portland’s priciest condo buildings, according to documents released to The Oregonian.

The John E. Jaqua Academic Center for Student Athletes, named for the late UO alumnus and founding board member of Nike, cost $41.7 million.

That includes everything from permitting, design and construction to furniture — all but the land, which the university leased to Knight for $1 during construction.

That means the glass-encased, three-story, 37,000-square-foot structure cost an estimated $1,100 per square foot. “That’s a fortune,� said Monte Haynes, a broker who worked on a Class A office building in Lake Oswego. “I think anybody would tell you that’s a fortune.�

On Friday, a spokeswoman at Nike, the company Knight cofounded, referred requests for comment to the university.

The Jaqua Center, dubbed the “jock box� by critics, has spurred controversy because of its opulence and exclusivity. Although it sits at a prominent entrance to campus, most of the building is off limits to non-athletes. “Forty million dollars buys a lot of new faculty, reduced class sizes, better facilities for the rest of campus,� UO Senate President Nathan Tublitz said. “It is a travesty to spend so much money for the benefit of such a small subset of students who already receive enormous perks.�

Oregon spokesman Phil Weiler responded that donors decide where to direct their funds. “The building was a gift,� Weiler said. “When someone buys you a birthday present, you don’t ask them how much they spent for it.�

The center is one of several multimillion-dollar buildings and renovations Knight has donated to the

university in recent decades, most of them to the athletic department.

Often, such as in the case of an 80,000-square-foot football operations center Knight plans to build soon, the amount of the gift has been undisclosed.

The university on Friday released two documents that detailed the costs of the Jaqua Center, in response to a July 15 request for access to the records: a 17-page cost estimate by property and construction consultant Rider Levett Bucknall, and an e-mail from the university’s associate vice president for campus planning and real estate sent July 15 — the day the building’s ownership officially passed from Knight to the university.

The estimate included the consultant’s estimate for the building’s construction and landscaping: $29.8 million. That works out to about $805 per square foot, or roughly twice what the most expensive condominiums were selling for at the height of Portland’s real estate boom.

O Not Kyron Horman, but similar children draw stares, reports

By Noelle Crombie The Oregonian

Courtesy Karen Noyes

It’s been one year since a Lincoln County judge kicked Karen Noyes out of her Yachats home for feeding black bears. She blames Oregon Fish & Wildlife for turning the neighborhood against her and insists she caused no harm by feeding them. An attorney filed an appeal on her behalf in March.

1 year later, Bear Lady of Yachats doing ‘OK’

By Lori Tobias The Oregonian

NEWPORT — It’s been one year since a Lincoln County judge booted Karen Noyes from her Yachats home for feeding black bears. Today, Noyes, 62, has a new home, a court appeal and is due to appear on Animal Planet.

All in all, said Noyes, “I’m OK.” That’s not to say the past year has been an easy one.

Noyes was convicted last summer on charges of harassing wildlife for feeding black bears at her house despite repeated warnings to stop. Judge Thomas Branford sentenced her in June, ordering her to vacate her home

by Aug. 31.

At the invitation of bear expert Lynn Rogers, who testified on her behalf during her trial, Noyes headed to the North America Bear Center in Ely, Minn., where she helped as a volunteer.

But then Animal Planet came calling, looking for Noyes to do a segment of their show. Rogers warned Noyes not to do it.

“I told her, ‘Don’t be part of that show; they will just make a monkey out of you,’” said Rogers. “If you know beforehand that the premise of the show is to show how stupid it is to feed animals and how stupid the people are who do that ... you just want nothing to do with that.”

But Noyes did want something to do with that.

“I was hoping to get my story out,” she said.

That story is one of a neighborhood overrun by black bears.

Of bears trying to get into houses

through dog doors, of bears annihilating a flock of 60 turkeys, of at least four bears shot dead in one summer. It is also the story of Noyes’ utter certainty that the bears are her friends and that she harms no one in feeding them.

Even now, Noyes refuses to believe that her years of feeding the black bears caused her coastal neighborhood problems. She blames Oregon Fish & Wildlife agents for turning the neighborhood against her with what she says were lies.

Noyes’ side “They made the neighbors think it was my fault, but in all the western states, there was a drought and a berry freeze,” says Noyes. “It’s important to talk about the berry freeze and drought. Everybody had problems. It was all the western states, not just Oregon.”

That’s the story Noyes wanted to tell on Animal Planet.

“But they didn’t ask me much about it,” she said. Now she wonders if Rogers maybe was right.

“They might make me out to be a monkey. Whatever happens, happens.”

Only time will tell. A spokesman for Animal Planet didn’t know if or when the segment would air.

In March, Portland attorney Geordie Duckler filed an appeal on Noyes’ behalf. Noyes was originally charged with reckless endangerment and harassing wildlife, but convicted only on the harassment charges.

“She was convicted of the wrong thing,” said Duckler. “If

she had been convicted of reckless endangerment, it would have kind of made sense. There are bears around, and the neighbors are afraid. Getting acquitted of that was remarkable.”

Likewise, the conviction on the harassment charges is just wrong, said Duckler.

The statute outlining harassment of wildlife uses words such as harass, torment, vex, annoy or kill, said Duckler. But that isn’t what Noyes did.

“The only evidence against Karen was that she fed them.

If they had anything else, that she shooed them away or got a broom, that might have been sufficient to say harass, annoy, vex or torment. She was convicted of a crime in which she didn’t meet the meaning of the crime. If to feed is to harass, then every bird and squirrel feeder is a criminal act.”

Earlier this summer, the state asked for more time to respond to Duckler’s appeal and was given until November. He expects the case won’t be heard by the Court of Appeals until sometime next year.

Noyes hopes she’ll win this time, and if she does, she wants the court to return the $5,000 she paid in fines.

“It was devastating to me,” said Noyes. “They wiped me out financially.”

She wants something for the bears, too.

“I want the bears to be righted, for people to be more tolerant of bears,” Noyes said.

As for her old home in Yachats, now rented to tenants, “I don’t care to live there anymore.”

PORTLAND — Talin Jacobs has a wide, toothy grin.

His brown hair is cut short.

He’s on the small side for his age.

And here’s something else his mom, Tarin Elliott, wants you to know about her 9year-old boy: He is not Kyron Horman.

Since Kyron went missing June 4, Elliott’s family has been approached repeatedly by well-meaning strangers who’ve mistaken Talin for Kyron. The Vancouver family has been trailed in stores by shoppers and questioned by security guards. Strangers stare at Talin. Once, someone jotted down the license plate on the family car and reported it to authorities.

Last week, in a Vancouver grocery store, a couple of women stopped cold and, in hushed tones, wondered whether Talin was the missing Skyline School second-grader.

They studied Talin’s face long enough to make the boy uncomfortable, his mom said.

“It’s not Kyron,” Elliott told the women, who hastily apologized for any trouble they’d caused.

And Talin isn’t the only area boy to be confused with Kyron. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office has had four reports of children who resemble the missing boy, including one last week involving a woman and a boy spotted boarding a MAX train bound for Portland International Airport.

Portland police and airport

authorities caught up with the woman on the PDX concourse and determined the child wasn’t Kyron, said Lt. Mary Lindstrand, a sheriff’s office spokeswoman.

“That wasn’t the first time she’d been stopped,” Lindstrand said.

Lindstrand said one woman whose son resembles Kyron took the boy to the Wall of Hope, a tribute to Kyron outside Skyline School, to show him why strangers were staring at him. The mother, Lindstrand said, wanted him to understand what had happened to Kyron.

Lindstrand said she hopes the families of Kyron look-alikes understand if they’re approached by police.

“It’s safer to ask than not to ask,” she said. “Better safe than sorry.”

When Paula Vandewalle, of Hillsboro, saw Kyron’s photograph for the first time, she instantly spotted a resemblance to her two young grandsons.

She worried that her 9-year-old grandson, who lives in the Midwest, might be approached during his summer visit to Oregon.

“We thought, ‘We sure hope that it gets resolved because we don’t want anyone mistaking him for Kyron,’” Vandewalle said.

A garage sale regular, Vandewalle often takes her 5-year-old grandson along.

“I have had lots of people ask, ‘What’s your name, and where do you live?’”

Farmer buys track, runs own railroad

By Bennett Hall Corvallis Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS — Oregon’s newest rail line has opened for business.

The Venell Farms Railroad Co. took delivery of four covered hopper cars Friday from the Portland & Western and filled them with wheat for shipment to Portland.

Venell Farms bought 5.3 miles of track this spring from the Union Pacific Railroad, three years after the longneglected branch line south of Corvallis was shut down by the Portland & Western, which was leasing it from the UP. Larry Venell and other south Benton County freight shippers had fought the Portland & Western for years, first trying to force the railroad to repair the line and improve service, then suing to block the shutdown.

Now Venell has teamed up with the Albany & Eastern, a Lebanon-based short line operator, to repair and operate his railroad. The partners have completed $750,000 worth of work on the line.

A PLEASANT PORCH PARTY As pretty an entertainment as ever was held in Bend occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A.M. Lara last Thursday evening. The affair might, with equal appropriateness, have been styled a porch party, a court party, a lawn party or just a dance. At all events, every one of the big crowd that was present voted the evening one of remarkable pleasure.

The entire length of the broad porch around the house was lit up with gay Japanese lanterns, as was the quaint court about which the building is constructed. Hammocks were hung over the lawn and rugs, and pillows scattered about for those who preferred tete-a-tetes to dancing on the wellwaxed piazza. A piano player supplied the music, it being on a corner of the porch closed in with canvas. A delightfully quiet and warm evening made the outdoor feature of the party one particularly enjoyable.

FOUR WHEELS TO HAVE POWER R.E. Wooley reports that J.I. Jones, who lives near Powell Butte, has perfected a mechanical contrivance whereby the motive power in automobiles may be applied to all four wheels instead of but two, as at present. Not only will the invention work well, greatly increasing the motive power from an engine, but even better steering appliances can be worked out than those now in vogue, it is said.

Mr. Jones has applied for a patent for his invention and has received from the Patent Office favorable advice concerning his application.

GOOD TIME SATURDAY NIGHT As usual, Saturday night’s dance at Linster’s Hall proved a great success. Woolley’s Orchestra supplied the music, and a goodly crowd was on hand to enjoy the happy combination of excellent music and the best of floors.

Henry Linster reports that the only trouble about the roller skating proposition is that it’s so popular that there are not enough skates to go around. He has ordered a lot of new ones of all sizes and promises the enthusiasts all the fun they want on his floor.

PLUMP FILM COMEDIAN IN BEND ON WAY SOUTH Oliver Hardy, corpulent member of the film comedy team of Laurel and Hardy, was in Bend today and stopped over for lunch before continuing on to Beverly Hills. So far as Hardy knew, his film playmate was in California.

“I’ve carried him around enough,” Hardy mentioned when asked why he had not brought Laurel north on a vacation trip.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Aug. 7, 1960 SPORTS TALK

By Jim Crowell Notes from Eugene Olympic Trials — Take the U.S. Track and Field Team, which includes Oregon’s Dyrol Burleson, Otis Davis, Bill Dellinger and Jim Grelle, add two Canadiens, Harry Jerome and Sig Ohleman, (both University of Oregon runners) and put them together with 11,500 fans and a beautiful sunny day, and you’re in for quite an afternoon.

The field was crawling with talent. Large ones like Rink Babka, 267-pound discus thrower, little ones like Jim Beatty, 130 pounds, U.S. 5000-meter champion, and medium-sized ones, like Rafer Johnson, 210 pounds, world decathlon champion.

Babka is so big that with a telephoto lens it’s like taking pictures of a two-story building. We had to move back to about 60 feet from the shot put ring to even get his head and gigantic shoulders in the frame.

That’s one reason a lot of the events lacked emotion and color.

For example, the U.S. shot putters, Dave Davis, Parry O’Brien, Bill Neider and Dallas Long, are so huge physically and so outstanding in their ability of pushing a

16-pound steel ball as far as most people would lob a bottle of Scotch (who would do such a thing) that a putt of even 60 feet didn’t even draw a mild hand clap.

Parry O’Brien, Olympic gold medal winner in 1956 and Bill Neider, present world mark holder, are carrying on a feud.

Neider, after O’Brien dropped out of a couple of meets last spring in which the two giants were to compete with each other, made the remark,” O’Brien is a showboat and is afraid to face me.”

O’Brien countered by indicating Neider had the form of a Canadian moose, and was prone to fizzle out when the going got rough. Neider failed to make the Olympic team and is going as an alternate.

Who’s right? We wouldn’t take sides against either one of them, especially O’Brien. He’s death on photographers.

One of the working press (as we’re so class-consciously known) told us of the time he was trying to get O’Brien to pose for a quick shot.

O’Brien came back with a definite no, and our friend walked away and put on a telephoto lens.

Just as our partner-in-crime was sighting in on the shot put ring, the lens suddenly clouded with the hulking shape of Mr. O’Brien.

Our friend boasts that he could have made the 100-meter dash team that day, as O’Brien chased him halfway across the field, uttering a few well-chosen phrases.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Aug. 7, 1985 HISTORICAL LIST CUT BY THREE A divided Bend city commission worked out a compromise

Wednesday and removed three old buildings from a list of historical places.

The owners of six buildings in Bend had objected to being placed on the list compiled by the Deschutes County Historical Landmarks Commission.

Those six owners said they feared placement on the list would limit their ability to remodel or sell their buildings.

The city in July adopted a resolution to put 37 other sites on the historic list and agreed to later wrestle with the question of the six objections.

The six buildings are The Pine Tavern; Saint Francis of Assisi Church; First Presbyterian Church; Bend Water & Light Company Powerhouse and Dam; and the International Order of Odd Fellows Hall.

Commissioner Michael Kozak said Wednesday the city should not put the buildings on the historic list if the owners object.

The commission voted to leave the Pine Tavern, the IOOF Building and the Brooks-Scanlon crane shed off the list for at least one year to see if there is a possibility of economic loss for the owners of those buildings.

The landmarks commission will be consulted before major changes in the buildings will be allowed, but the commission does not intend to impose an economic hardship on property owners.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Aug. 7, 1935 NAZI CAMPAIGN IS THREE-FOLD War on three selected fronts against the undesirables among some 22,000,000 people was indicated today as the immediate aim of Nazism in the fight to “totalize” Germany. Official pronouncements, which have succeeded the unofficial outbursts of recent weeks against “enemies of the state,” were summed up in a speech that Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda and public enlightenment, made to a mass meeting of Nazi leaders at Essen yesterday.

Jews, Roman Catholics and members of the Stalhelm or Steel Helmut organization of world war veterans were picked by Goebbels as those who would be the direct targets of attack. For the moment, apparently other undesirables such as those in the state church, members of the protestant opposition to Nazification of religion; the university students, the Socialists and Communists, were to be only subordinated.

Goebbels, one of Adolph Hitler’s chief advisors, took the foreign press as one theme of his speech.

Then he intimated that before long three important domestic problems would be solved. These were the problem of Jewish-“Aryan” marriages, that of suppression of the Roman Catholic press and Roman Catholic opponents of Nazism, and complete dissolution of the Steel Helmet organization.

Germany’s 1933 religious census included 499,682 followers of the Jewish religion. There were 21,172,087 Roman Catholics — 32.5 percent of the population by religions. The Steel Helmet organization is estimated to have some 300,000 members.

Today’s budget of arrests in the anti-Jewish drive started with announcement that eight “Aryan” girls and eight Jews at Liegnitz, and four Jews at Goenlitz were put under protective arrests — a preliminary to being put into concentration camps — for “conduct immediately threatening the pub-

U.S. considers curbing Columbia fish hatcheries The Associated Press PORTLAND — Federal biologists will recommend four options for dealing with salmon hatchery programs that feed into the Columbia River Basin, the toughest of which would pull federal dollars from the programs.

If that step is taken, The Oregonian reported, it would halve the number of Columbia steelhead and salmon taken every year.

Less-severe options are in the environmental impact statement

COCC Continued from B1 “It’s not about what do we need to do to grow, but who are the students we’re getting, are we getting the ones we should?”

Campus Relations Director Ron Paradis said. “And are we doing a good job with them?

And with transitional studies, we’re not quite sure we’re doing as good of a job as we should.”

Paradis said that three years ago, about 23 percent of new students entered COCC needing to take Math 10 or Math 20, which feature basic arithmetic, fractions and other whole number math. Now, 67 percent do.

The college has also seen more students in their late 20s and 30s registering for classes.

“Those are students who haven’t been in high school for a long time, and we believe a lot of those students probably didn’t intend to go to college,” Paradis said.

Nearly half of all incoming students fail to test into college-level math and writing.

Of those students, about 60 percent of them complete their first term with C’s or better in three-quarters of their classes.

“That outlines why we’re working with those students.

Since nearly half the students come in testing into neither math nor writing, that’s a large percentage of new students,” Paradis said. “That’s why we’ve got the emphasis on transitional studies now.”

Nationally, Holtzclaw said, students who enroll in remedial-level classes are much less likely to eventually receive their bachelor’s degree than those entering with collegelevel skills.

“The record’s pretty dismal,” he said.

To improve COCC students’ experiences, first up is a new name and a merging of various programs. COCC will now refer to remedial classes as transitional studies, which encompasses adult basic education, English language development classes and pre-college-level credit classes. Transitional studies also includes classes that teach skills for college success, like those focused on time management and study skills.

The college is hiring a director of student retention and recently hired a new director of human development, who will oversee courses that teach skills for studying, test-taking and others key to college success.

“Those courses in the last few years have exploded in growth,” Holtzclaw said.

Three years ago, he said, the equivalent of about 5.5 fulltime students took the classes

being considered by the National Marine Fisheries Service, but all of it comes amid grim environmental news. Hatchery fish interbreed with wild fish, making wild fish more prone to disease. Hatchery fish also take up habitat and food sources, and sometimes prey on wild fish.

After the government installed dams across the basin in the last century, hatcheries were put in to replace the wild fish the dams killed off.

each year; now it’s more than 50. In 2007-08, 7,937 students took at least one credit course at COCC. In 2009-10, that had jumped to 10,263. The number of students taking full course loads, rather than just part time, has increased significantly as well. The skills classes, housed in the social science program, pushed that program from the smallest to fourthlargest on campus.

“A lot of these are students who never have planned, in their life plans, to be in college,” Holtzclaw said. “But they’re here because of the economy. ...

Now they realize they want to be here, or they have to be here if they want to be successful, and they’re coming in droves.”

Much of the work with transitional studies is still in the research stage. Holtzclaw said the college is considering creating cohorts — peer groups that take a variety of courses together — but hasn’t moved forward because of logistical challenges.

The cohort class might enroll together in pre-college-level writing and math classes, as well as a study skills class.

“Research shows it works very well, but it can be hard to implement,” Holtzclaw said.

“We have a largely commuting student body who are juggling families and if they’re lucky still juggling jobs. ... We know this stuff works, but we have to figure out how to make it effectively work given we’re a community college.”

To help with students who may need more time, the math department created a math lab for students in math 60 and 65, which focuses on algebraic concepts. In the lab, students can move at their own pace through the material. Some students are just rusty on concepts they studied in high school, while others have never seen the material before.

“What we’re finding is students who need to brush up on skills (to) get back into the mode, they can get to college level much quicker,” Holtzclaw said. “For students who need more time, they can get it.”

The college doesn’t have to make changes to improve the students’ experiences. But Holtzclaw said it’s the right thing to do.

“It’s not because anyone’s making us (change the transitional studies program),” Holtzclaw said. “If we lose these students, what does it mean for them? What does it mean for the community? And this is our mission; we’re failing a piece of our mission.”

Continued from B1 CET had offered service routes connecting most Central Oregon communities, including Madras, Redmond, Bend, La Pine, Sisters and Prineville, with routes passing through Metolius, Culver, Terrebonne, Sunriver and Powell Butte.

“The (Warm Springs) route is pretty new right now,” said Imelda Saldana, an employment counselor who works at Madras WorkSource — a stop along the bus route. “But we definitely expect it to expand.”

According to Saldana, the addition of the route has helped people get to the employment office who wouldn’t normally be able to.

Though ridership on the new route has not been high, Friend is confident that it will become just as popular as others.

“When something is brand new, utilization is usually minimal,” said Friend. “People just have to get comfortable with it. It just takes a little bit of time.”

A mass of floaters prepares to take off Saturday from Riverbend Park during the Race for the River.

River Continued from B1 The combination of dams on the Deschutes and canals drawing water from the river have drastically altered the natural flow patterns, Tillman said, particularly in the area between Bend and Lake Billy Chinook.

More than 90 percent of the water that would naturally flow through this portion of the river is diverted each summer for irrigation, he said, but the Deschutes River Conservancy has been working to bring back some of this water, by acquiring water rights and piping existing canals.

The efforts have been paying off. In the Middle Deschutes, flows are now at around 170 cubic feet per second, up from the 30 cubic feet per second before restoration efforts began, but still well below the 3,000 cubic feet per second seen in the preirrigation era.

For competitors on the river Saturday, the talk was less about streamflows and cubic feet per second, and more about the

Dakota, a 2-year-old boxer/ shepherd/ridgeback mix, was going along as a passenger, according to owner Ramona Bieber.

“I will be dog paddling, and she will be riding,” said Bieber, 45, of Bend. “She doesn’t swim.”

Kevin Jones, 40, of Bend, said he and his dog, Kanaloa, had developed a system for days on the river. Lounging in a tiny child’s raft, Jones called out to Kanaloa.

He seized the handgrip on the back of his life jacket when he came near. Kanaloa kicked furiously, slowly dragging Jones and the raft toward the middle of the river.

“He’s the power behind the boat,” Jones said. “I just kind of hold on to the handle and use him like a little motor, like a little outboard.”

Fritz Teufel, a German prankster and protester

By William Grimes New York Times News Service

“The monthlong trial here of Fritz Teufel, a 24-year-old German student, on a felony charge of ‘grave sedition’ may become only a footnote when the histories of contemporary Europe are written,” a correspondent of The New York Times wrote in 1967 from West Berlin. “Yet the widely publicized case has become a symbol for the ‘seditious’ fringe among modern European youth, and beyond that, of the stirrings of an entire restive generation.”

Teufel, who was eventually acquitted of the charges that he had led a riotous demonstration against the visiting shah of Iran and threw a rock at a policeman, died July 6 in Berlin. He was 67.

The ferment of the 1960s brought Teufel, a skinny, redbearded figure with wire-rimmed glasses, bobbing to the surface of tumultuous events. Though he later fell in with a violent revolutionary group and was arrested and imprisoned, he started out as a prankster or, to use his term, a “fun guerrilla,” whose provocations — he once planned to ambush Hubert H. Humphrey with cake-mix “bombs” — made him West Germany’s answer to Abbie Hoffman.

Teufel was born June 17, 1943, in the town of Ingelheim, the youngest of six children, and

“We really felt obliged to correct the historical, political development of a Nazi-tainted Federal Republic.”

— Fritz Teufel grew up in Ludwigsburg. In 1963 he moved to Berlin to attend the Free University of Berlin, where he studied German literature, journalism and theater.

Teufel became a founder of Kommune 1, a notorious squat on Stuttgarter Platz often referred to as the Horror Commune. Its members, influenced equally

by Maoism and psychoanalysis, rejected such bourgeois norms as personal privacy — the bathrooms had no doors — and devoted themselves to organizing political protests and stunts.

Like many of the younger German generation, they were in revolt against their parents, whom they regarded as having been either complicit or supine during the Nazi years, and the West German state, which they regarded as sneakily repressive.

“We really felt obliged to correct the historical, political development of a Nazi-tainted Federal Republic,” Teufel once told an interviewer.

When his comrades, perhaps out of jealousy at his growing

reputation, expelled him from Kommune One, Teufel moved to Munich, where he joined a radical commune and drifted into the orbit of the Red Army Faction.

Dedicated to the violent overthrow of the government, the group carried out assassinations, bombings and kidnappings.

In 1975, Teufel was arrested and charged with being a leader of the June 2 Movement, which had kidnapped Peter Lorenz, a local leader of the Christian Democratic Union. He was carrying a pistol at the time.

Teufel spent five years in prison awaiting trial, only to present a watertight alibi in court: When the kidnapping took place, he was working under a false name in an Essen factory that made toilet seats. He said that he had kept silent to expose the arbitrary nature of West German justice.

Nonetheless, he was convicted of robbery, firearms offenses and membership in a criminal organization and sentenced to five years in prison, moot at that point.

Bonita Jane (Lockhart) Dunn April 24, 1929, - August 5, 2010 Bonita Jane (Lockhart) Dunn passed away on Thursday, August 5, 2010.

Bonita was born on April 24, 1929, in Sheridan, AR. She married James W. Dunn on September 27, 1947.

Bonita loved being with Bonita Dunn her family, especially the little ones.

She enjoyed square dancing, sewing, ceramics, painting and drawing.

She also enjoyed gardening, and she really loved her flowers.

Bonita was a member of the First Baptist Church of Prineville since 1958. Bonita loved reading the Bible.

Bonita is survived by her sons, J. Michael (Sue) Dunn, W. Lee (Frances) Dunn; sisters, Joan Snider and Dianna Pelkey; grandchildren, Jim Dunn, Mindi Hoke, Kari Dunn, Nina Dunn, Analee Dunn; and three great-grandchildren.

Photographer Lockwood captured life in Communist countries

By Margalit Fox New York Times News Service

Lee Lockwood, an American photojournalist who had rare opportunities to capture political, military and civilian life in Communist countries — documenting the treatment of an American prisoner of war in North Vietnam and persuading Fidel Castro to sit for a long, discursive, smokefilled and highly personal interview — died July 31 in Tamarac, Fla. He was 78 and lived in Weston, Fla. The cause was complications of diabetes, his sister, Susan Lewinnek, said.

As his work through the decades made clear, Lockwood regarded photojournalism as a potent instrument for social change. A freelance photographer, he was associated for many years with the Black Star agency, which furnished his images to newspapers and magazines around the globe.

He also wrote several books, including “Castro’s Cuba, Cuba’s Fidel: An American Journalist’s Inside Look at Today’s Cuba in Text and Picture” (Macmillan, 1967).

In 1967, at the height of the Vietnam War, Lockwood was the first outside photographer in more than a decade to be allowed into North Vietnam. (Not long before, while in Havana to research his Castro book, he had prudently obtained a North Vietnamese visa there.)

The fruit of Lockwood’s 28-day visit, a long, heavily illustrated essay titled “North Vietnam Under Siege,” was published as the cover article of the April 7, 1967, edition of Life magazine.

In words and photos, Lockwood captured the life of a country then under heavy bombardment by U.S. forces: bare, ruined villages; deserted factories; a boy with a missing leg, lost to a bomb. There were also calmer, quieter images of farmers, flower sellers and hemp dyers plying their trades.

Tancredo could blow up Colorado’s GOP this fall

By Steven Thomma McClatchy-Tribune News Service

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo.

— The breakfast coffee was starting to cool when Tom Tancredo wrapped up his talk on the evils of illegal immigration and President Barack Obama, and opened the floor to questions from his fellow Republicans.

One of the first: Why are you ruining Republican prospects by jumping into the Colorado governor’s race as a third-party candidate?

Tancredo, a former five-term Republican congressman from Colorado, said he wouldn’t be a spoiler. He won’t, he said, draw votes away from an already damaged Republican nominee and allow the Democrats to win the campaign for governor.

“If I believed that, I wouldn’t do it,” he said. “I simply don’t believe it.”

He’s virtually alone, however.

Even before they pick their candidates in a primary Tuesday, Colorado Republicans fear that they’re on course to lose in a battleground state they desperately want to win from the Democrats this fall.

Mostly, they worry that they’ll lose a governor’s race they thought was safely in their hands just weeks ago. They also fret that the scandal and infighting in that race could hurt their chances at taking a U.S. Senate seat away from the Democrats, one of the seats the Republicans need if they’re to retake control of the Senate.

“Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” said Jeremy Goodall, a recruiter from Colorado Springs who’s active in the tea party movement. “And it will absolutely affect down-ballot races.”

Republican troubles The change in GOP fortunes came with blinding speed, particularly in the race to succeed Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter, who’s stepping down after one term.

First, the leading candidate to win the Republican nomination, former U.S. Rep. Scott McInnis, was rocked by revelations that he’d plagiarized work during a fellowship for which he was paid $300,000.

Some of his staff resigned, and McInnis lost the lead he’d held for months in general election poll matchups against likely Democratic nominee John Hickenlooper, the mayor of Denver, according to Republican pollster Scott Rasmussen.

Dan Maes, McInnis’ primary rival, fares no better, also trailing Hickenlooper.

Enter Tancredo, who’s among the many Republicans who urged McInnis to drop out. Having failed in that endeavor, Tancredo will run as a third-party candidate.

The danger Tancredo poses to Republican hopes is that he’ll push the focus of the fall campaign onto his two dominant themes: stopping illegal immigration and impeaching Obama. In a state where more than one-third of the voters are independents, those could be polarizing issues and costly distractions.

“Immigration is an important issue, but the public shies away from intense conflict over it,” independent Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli said.

Tancredo also pushes hard to impeach Obama.

“The president of the United States of America should be impeached,” Tancredo told the Republican breakfast, ticking off a list of offenses, including the takeover of U.S. car companies, and topped by what he described as the president’s failure to secure the Southern border from drug cartels and Hezbollah terrorists.

“He can be brought up on charges,” Tancredo said. “He is a threat to the nation.”

While conservatives loathe the Obama agenda of big government, many recoil at the thought of starting impeachment proceedings — or of letting the subject define the conservative cause this fall.

“He’s a nut,” Mary Hertzog, a teacher from Colorado Springs and a conservative Republican, said of Tancredo. “He’s a loose cannon, and he embarrasses me as a Coloradan.”

Inquiry launched into ’09 L.A. fire

By Paul Pringle Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — A federal inspector general has launched an investigation and the Obama administration has invited Congress to order a broad inquiry into last summer’s disastrous Station Fire north of Los Angeles after learning that dispatch recordings had been withheld from a U.S. Forest Service review team.

The recordings, from the critical early hours of the blaze, also were withheld from the Los Angeles Times, which requested them under the Freedom of Information Act. The inspector general’s probe will focus on why the several days of telephone recordings were not provided to the Times or turned over to the Forest Service inquiry, which concluded that the agency’s initial attack on the fire was proper.

“I find this very serious,” Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell said Tuesday. “I’m very concerned and troubled that this was not found earlier. ... We want to get this information to learn what occurred on the Station Fire.”

Tidwell said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, whose department runs the Forest Service, invited Congress to request the fuller investigation of the agency’s handling of the fire in the Angeles National Forest, a probe that would be conducted by the Government Accountability Office.

The content of the withheld recordings is not known. Tidwell said officials were still transcribing them, and the results would be released in coming days.

He said the recordings were found after he ordered a re-

A group of young men watch the Station Fire last summer from a hill in La Cañada, Calif. The fire burned more than 100,000 acres and has prompted a federal investigation. Now the Obama administration is inviting Congress to order a broad inquiry. examination of all records on the fire and the agency’s response to the Times’ requests for copies of audio dispatch communications, a number of which have been released.

The newspaper also had raised questions about an erroneous entry in a key transcript, which Forest Service officials blamed on a private contractor.

A Forest Service spokesman said the Agricultural Department’s inspector general could recommend criminal charges based on what the investigation finds.

No Forest Service employee has been fired or placed on leave since the recordings were

unearthed, Tidwell said.

He said he wanted the re-examination completed before a panel of local Congress members convened by Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., holds a public meeting on the Station Fire on Tuesday in Pasadena, Calif.

Schiff scheduled the session after the Times reported that the Forest Service had misjudged the threat posed by the fire, scaled back the initial attack and failed to fill crucial orders for air tankers on the second morning.

The Station blaze, which broke out Aug. 26, blackened 250 square miles of the forest, destroyed scores of homes and other structures, and killed two

Los Angeles County firefighters. It was the largest fire in Los Angeles County history.

In a statement Tuesday, Schiff said he was “concerned with the late discovery of these recorded conversations.” He also said that the phone calls, unlike radio transmissions, “appear to have been recorded without the knowledge or consent of some or all of the parties.”

Tidwell said he was not aware of the recordings when he told a Senate subcommittee in May that the Forest Service had deployed the earliest available air tankers to the fire on the second morning, when the blaze covered just a few acres.

According to federal records and state officials, other tankers were available sooner, but the Forest Service failed to complete an order for them made by its own commander on the ground.

Dispatch records show that a Forest Service officer again asked for tankers about 7 a.m. on Aug. 27, six hours after the initial request. Three Forest Service tankers were subsequently deployed but did not reach the fire until after it began racing through the forest.

Most of the questions about how the fire became so destructive have focused on the absence of a fierce air attack in the hours after dawn on Day 2, as well as a decision the previous evening to reduce the number of ground crews. The flames had been nearly contained, in part because of a sustained pounding by helicopters and planes.

After the aircraft returned to base at nightfall, the fire began to gather strength.

Officials said in September that they had believed enough aircraft were deployed early on Day 2. In the review conducted by the Forest Service, the agency concluded that aerial dumps during the hours after dawn the following morning would have been ineffective because the blaze was burning in a canyon too treacherous for ground crews to safely reach to finish extinguishing the flames.

After that finding was disputed by firefighters at the scene as well as by the Forest Service’s own records, officials told the Times and the Senate panel that the tankers were not sent sooner because of a shortage of rested pilots and relief aircraft.

Records and interviews later showed that state tankers were available.

Leslie and Matt Weeber spend time with their 2-hour-old daughter Alyssa on July 30 at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. A new perinatal data system was used to monitor fetal heart patterns during Alyssa’s birth.

Corvallis hospital system adds heart safety to birthing

By Gail Cole (Corvallis) Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS — Corvallis’ Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center recently launched a perinatal heart rate monitoring system that enables nurses and physicians to continuously — and even remotely — track unborn babies’ heart rates on electronic monitors.

The new system, launched July 22, will reduce the amount of paper used by the labor and delivery department, and enable nurses and physicians to electronically track patients’ heart rates both in the room, at the department’s nursing station and, when necessary, at home.

The best part, however, is that it ensures greater safety and care for mothers about to give birth.

“As nurses, that’s our job,” said Terri Shank, a registered nurse and assistant department manager of the labor and delivery area. Early one recent

afternoon, the nursing station’s monitor displayed four heart rates on two screens.

Registered nurse Leslie Weeber’s second child was due in the next few days. Even late in the week, she was at work, using the new system to monitor other pregnant women in the labor and delivery department before planning to go on maternity leave sometime during the weekend in anticipation of her own delivery.

But after spending five hours in the hospital the morning of July 30, Weeber gave birth to a girl — Alyssa — at 11:45 a.m. as her co-workers used the new system to monitor her.

Weeber had given birth three years ago via Cesarean section, so medical personnel were extra diligent when monitoring her to be sure there was no tearing at the site of the C-section scar.

“Both mom and baby’s lives can be at risk,” Shank said.

Before the system was

launched at the hospital, nurses only could check heart rates in person. They made such checks when a woman was admitted in labor, and every 30 minutes thereafter. A change in heart rate can be a sign of distress.

In the late stages of labor, heart rates are checked every 15 minutes.

But constant monitoring is much better.

“A lot can happen in 15 minutes,” Shank said. She estimated that the staff has used the system on four or five post-Cesarean births since its launch.

Two hours after giving birth, Weeber was happy with her experience using the monitoring system as a patient.

“It’s very reassuring that someone is always watching the (heart rate) strip,” she said.

“Yes, Big Sister was watching,” said Rimah Athamneh, a registered nurse and one of Weeber’s co-workers, who was her nurse during delivery.

LAKE CHELAN

HIDEAWAY Stehekin offers isolation in Washington’s North Cascades

By John Gottberg Anderson For The Bulletin

CHELAN, Wash. — I spent three hours last month in Stehekin, a tiny village isolated at the head of Lake Chelan.

It simply wasn’t enough time. I needed three days. Or three weeks.

“Is three months long enough?” I asked a senior national park ranger, his Claus-like whiskers suggesting that he may have spent a season or two far from civilization. “Nope,” he said, shaking his head with certainty. “And three years just isn’t enough time, either.”

There are no roads into Stehekin, which is surrounded by the high peaks of Washington’s North Cascades. Visitors arrive by boat or by air, on foot or on horseback.

That created complications several

Record your poems at Bend Public Library The Oregon Poetic Voices Project will have a recording studio set up in Bend for members of the community to record their original poetry Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to noon.

A recording studio will be set up in the Hutchinson Room of Bend Public Library, 601 N.W. Wall St., and members of the public are invited to stop by and have their original poetry — up to five poems each — recorded.

The objective of Oregon Poetic Voices is to create a comprehensive digital archive of poetry readings that will complement existing print collections of poetry in the state and provide a sound archive, which will be made available to Oregonians of all ages and geographic locations via librar-

NORTHWEST TR AVE L Next week: Whale watching at Depoe Bay days ago for 180 firefighters — twice the population of the village itself — who turned back a 3,700-acre forest fire that threatened to engulf the community. As of Wednesday, thanks in large part to six water-hauling helicopters, they had partially contained the fire and directed it away from Stehekin.

Stehekin (pronounced steh-HEE-ken) is a true gem of the Pacific Northwest, a hamlet whose geography has left it remarkably free from outside influence.

It will also be archived at the Oregon State Library Poetry Room in Salem.

McGregor Mountain, at far right, and the North Cascades loom above lakeside homes in the picturesque village of Stehekin, at the head of Lake Chelan. About 90 people live year-round in Stehekin, which can be reached only by water, air, foot or horseback.

Few communities in the Lower 48 can make the same claim. Its immense natural beauty and its unique heritage are much the same as they were when it was first homesteaded in the 1880s. Formal telephone service, in fact, reached Stehekin only three years ago.

But the 55-mile-long glacial lake on whose shore it rests makes a statement of its own. Surpassed in depth in the United States only by Oregon’s Crater Lake and California-Nevada’s Lake Tahoe, the lake was carved during the Ice Ages about 17,000 years ago. No more than two miles wide at its broadest point, it has a depth measured at 1,486 feet, yet a surface elevation of 1,100 feet. That means the lake’s bottom is nearly 400 feet below sea level.

be on display at Redmond High School, 675 S.W. Rimrock Way. Combat vehicles and a helicopter will also be on-site for viewing.

Additional events at the school include opening ceremonies at 6 p.m. Thursday, with a laying of wreaths at 4 p.m.

Friday events include a Warm Springs ceremony at 9 a.m., and a candlelight vigil and reading of names at 8:30 p.m.

Saturday features a motorcycle salute and a performance by the Sweet Adelines at 7 p.m.

Taps will be performed Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m., and a morning prayer will be offered at 8 a.m. Friday, Saturday and Aug. 15.

The wall will be available for viewing 24 hours a day beginning at noon Thursday through noon Aug. 15, when closing ceremonies will be conducted.

Novelist takes his cues from landscapes of Pacific Northwest

By David Jasper The Bulletin

Submitted photo

Before he switched writing tracks and became a novelist, Jim Lynch worked as a newspaper reporter. He didn’t just dream of being a novelist: He woke up early and wrote before work. Insomnia helped his cause. He would change jobs every few years, and took time off to write fiction in between gigs.

He wrote two as-yet unpublished thrillers, “training wheels,” as he puts it, for what was to come. At 42, after 18 years in journalism and 12 years of writing fiction, his diligence and sleep deprivation paid off when he landed a pub lisher for “The Highest Tide.”

The novel, which he says is an adult book with some young adult crossover, provides thrills of a different sort when Miles O’Malley, the diminutive 13-year-old protagonist, finds sudden media fame after he happens upon a beached, living giant squid during his latenight wanderings around Skookumchuck Bay in south Puget Sound.

Lynch’s second novel is “Border Songs,” about a tall, dyslexic border patrol agent Brandon Vanderkool, “more bird than border patrol agent, prone to mimicking birdsong and building nests,” according to Amazon.com, which named it a book of the month in June 2009.

Blind woman’s friend turns TV picks: Will they be masterpieces? deaf ear to silence request

By Chuck Barney

Contra Costa Times

Dear Abby: My son and his girlfriend decided to go to an afternoon matinee. Two older women sat down behind them.

When the movie started, one of them began a loud, running commentary to the other.

After a few minutes, my son and his girlfriend moved to seats four rows farther down, but they could still hear the woman explaining step-by-step what was happening on the screen. He turned around and made a shushing sound, and in a loud voice she responded, “My friend is blind, and I’m explaining what’s happening on the screen.”

Other people changed seats, too. My son understood how a blind person might want to enjoy hearing a movie, but her companion should have told her this was a public place and she would have to wait until they go home to have it explained in full, or wait for the DVD to come out so they could talk at home while it was on.

Abby, wasn’t it rude to destroy everyone else’s enjoyment of the film?

— Suzanne in Laguna Niguel, Calif.

Dear Suzanne: Yes. Your son should have taken the problem to the theater usher or manager.

Many theaters are equipped with special descriptive audio for blind patrons. If that accommodation was not available, the blind person and her companion should have sat toward the front of the theater or in an area that was less crowded so they didn’t distract other audience members. Also, movies with descrip-

DEAR ABBY One way to overcome fear is to confront it in stages. In other words, start by singing for a few friends. If there’s a choir at your church, ask if you can audition for it. … And by the way, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover that “talent” in art is the result of hard work, dedication and practice. tive audio can be obtained at the local library.

Dear Abby: I have to choose between chorus and art for an elective for high school in the fall. I have been told I have an excellent voice, but I’m scared to death about auditioning for chorus. I have little artistic ability — just enough to get me through life.

I don’t know what to do. I want to be in chorus, but as I said, I am terrified of having to try out.

Please give me some advice.

— Angel Girl in Charlotte, N.C. Dear Angel Girl: You have to decide whether to take advantage of the fact that you have “an excellent voice” or spend the rest of your life singing by yourself in the shower.

One way to overcome fear is

to confront it in stages. In other words, start by singing for a few friends. If there’s a choir at your church, ask if you can audition for it. When school starts, ask the choral director if you can audition privately if you’re still afraid. If the answer is no, then your elective will have to be art.

And by the way, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover that “talent” in art is the result of hard work, dedication and practice.

Dear Abby: I have been experiencing something similar to your “pennies from heaven” letters. My husband, a master carpenter for 40 years, passed away 10 months ago. We had several projects started — a shop, a greenhouse and a room addition.

We were also starting up a small sawmill business.

I have been trying to get things finished, and whenever I think I am not going to be able to make it, I find a nail where a nail shouldn’t be. It was always a joke between us that he spread nails like Johnny Appleseed spread seed. I believe he is watching out for me and leaves them to let me know I will be OK. — Jo Ann from Forks, Wash.

Dear Jo Ann: I think you’ve “nailed” it. And because they bring you comfort, collect them and — perhaps — find a creative way to display them.

P P Boy Scouts jump-start a long, tiring trip home I’m writing this letter to thank a great bunch of Boy Scouts and their parent leaders for being prepared, courteous and very helpful to me the other night outside the Portland airport.

I’d just flown in from the Midwest, and was tired and fuzzy headed. I had a two-hour drive north to my home. I managed to collect my luggage and found the right shuttle to my car at a local park-and-ride hotel.

Initially confused as my key wouldn’t snap the doors open, I soon realized my car was completely dead — I’d inadvertently left a small dash light on as I’d left for my 4 a.m. flight a week back. I called my auto service, but was unable to access assistance.

I was stuck, tired, and it was late — I was near tears. Then I noticed a beehive of activity near the hotel entrance — teenage boys and a few adults, all in red shirts, were working to pack up a van or two. I approached one of the young men, explained my predicament and asked him if they might have a set of jumper cables in the van.

Seemingly in the wink of an eye, the young man had the cables in hand — he knew just where they were packed in the van — he’d found his father, a leader, and they’d jumped my vehicle. Perfect. Immediate. Skilled. Polite. Absolutely competent.

I learned they were a Scout group from Bend, and were on their way somewhere for a long, hard hike. I offered money as a donation to their trip, but it was politely refused.

“This is what we do,” they explained. “We’re Scouts.”

So, thanks very much, Bend Boy Scouts and your leaders.

You saved this grandmother from a stressful predicament, and sent me on my way home with a lighter heart. So much for worrying about the “kids these days” — I think they’re great!

C OV ER S T ORY

The Stehekin Landing Resort, opposite the boat landing, has hotel rooms, a full-service restaurant and the most reliable Internet service in the Stehekin Valley. Several lodging options are available to Stehekin visitors. Rates are considerably higher in summer than the rest of the year.

Photos by John Gottberg Anderson / For The Bulletin

The Lady of the Lake II welcomes passengers boarding at Stehekin Landing for its daily four-hour return voyage to Chelan. Visitors can extend their daily stay in Stehekin to three hours by arriving at 11 a.m. on the Lady Express and departing at 2 p.m. on the Lady of the Lake II. winery’s own syrah.

I found the Bistro patio at Vin du Lac to be especially charming at lunchtime. Looking across the vineyards that roll down to the lakeshore, I watched jet skiers and parasailors skim across and above the blue water as swimmers and paddle-boaters frolicked closer to shore. A squadron of bicyclists trundled down a nearby road. On the hill crest behind me, I knew, were golf courses and the Echo Valley ski area. Certainly, despite the town’s small size, there is no shortage of activity choices.

The Ladies of the Lake

The small town of Chelan nestles around the southeastern end of Lake Chelan, where the Chelan River begins its 4.3-mile exit to the Columbia River. The multi-building Campbell’s Resort, lakeside in the background, has been a community icon since it opened in 1901.

Chelan Continued from C1

The town of Chelan For my visit, I based myself in the resort town of Chelan (pronounced sheh-LAN), located where the 4.3-mile-long Chelan River leaves the lake and flows into the Columbia River. The 350mile drive north from Bend on U.S. Highway 97 took about seven hours, but on a sunny summer’s day, the scenery was beautiful: It included the Columbia Gorge, the pine forests of Satus and Blewett passes and the orchards of Yakima and Wenatchee.

Chelan for years also made its name as an orchard center.

Apples, cherries and pears, however, have been slowly eclipsed by tourism and wine as the economic base. The stone fruit is as delicious as ever, but in the past decade many orchardists have turned their lakeview hillsides

over to grapevines.

The population base isn’t a big one. About 4,000 people live in the town of Chelan, with about 7,000 more in the surrounding area at the south end of the lake. Manson, on the lake’s north shore about eight miles from Chelan, has more than 3,000 residents. The “big city” — the Chelan County seat of Wenatchee, with about 30,000 people — is a 45-minute drive south.

I stayed at Campbell’s Resort, which sprawls across eight lakeshore acres. “I really wonder,” mused Clint Campbell, 56, “how many fifth-generation hospitality businesses there are in the United States.” His great-grandfather, C.C. Campbell, built the original hotel here in 1901. It passed to his grandfather and to his father and uncle. Now Clint and his cousin, Arthur, are partners in the business … and Arthur’s son, Eric Campbell, 26, recently joined the family operation.

Over the years, Campbell’s has

rebuilt, renovated and expanded, and it remains a Lake Chelan icon.

All 170 of its rooms face the water, overlooking a sandy beach and a separate pool area. The lodge features a conference center, a fullservice day spa and two restaurants — the fine-dining Bistro on its lower level and a more casual Grill & Pub on a veranda above.

Among a handful of other restaurants in the little town, ranging from Mexican to Asian to ma-and-pa American, I was most impressed by the new Andante Italian restaurant. With the voice of Frank Sinatra crooning in the background, and excellent service in the foreground, I had a cioppino-like Tuscan seafood stew in a light tomato broth.

Other restaurants are located at wineries. Sorrento’s, an Italian place at Tsillan Cellars, draws high marks from locals. Ditto the Winemaker’s Grill at Wapato Point Cellars in Manson, where I had an excellent New York-style steak paired with a glass of the

The highlight of my visit to Chelan, no doubt, was my trip to Stehekin.

Two boats — one a slower vessel, the other an express — operate daily in summer (and at least three times a week in winter) between the communities. The Lady of the Lake II makes the run in four hours, with a 90-minute layover in Stehekin. The Lady Express requires just 2½ hours between Chelan and Stehekin, with a 60-minute layover. By combining the two — arriving on the express boat at 11 a.m., departing on the slower boat at 2 p.m. — I was able to maximize my time at the head of the lake.

I had to rush to board the Lady Express at 8:30 a.m., but once in my seat, I could relax. A crew member providing narration explained that Lake Chelan was the progeny of two separate glaciers, one pouring from the North Cascades and the other scouring the Columbia Basin. They met about 12 miles northwest of the modern lake outlet at The Narrows, where the width of Lake Chelan tapers

to just a quarter-mile across.

The southern part of the lake, known as Wapato Basin, is the warmer and shallower (“only” 400 feet) of the two sections. Here the surrounding terrain is gentle, ideal for the hillside vineyards and orchards. Roads follow both shores of the lake, providing ready water access for residents of Chelan and Manson. The boatlaunch facilities in both towns, as well as at Lake Chelan State Park on the south shore, bustle through the summer months and even into cooler weather.

Beyond The Narrows, Lake Chelan’s surrounding topography changes rapidly. Hills turn to steep-sided mountains. Pine forests are eclipsed by the scars of forest fires that have often raked the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. One of them, the lightning-sparked 1970 Mitchell Creek blaze, destroyed 42,000 acres of mainly commercial timber. A map on a wall of the Lady Express lo-

cates the extent of every major historic fire around Lake Chelan, right up through 2007.

On the southwest shore, opposite Mitchell Creek, Field’s Point is the last car-access point for vehicles to board for Stehekin. From here, I settled into the narrator’s spiel to learn about my surroundings. We passed a dozen-odd campgrounds, a handful of stormshelter harbors and navigation reflectors, shoreline locations where homesteaders’ cabins and early20th-century luxury hotels once stood. Impressive waterfalls, such as Domke Falls, cascaded directly into the lake. At Big Goat Creek, I cringed when I learned that zealous big-game hunters had once pulled the carcasses of mountain goats from the lake after shooting them off a rugged ledge above.

The lake’s deepest point, 386 feet below sea level, is located directly below 8,245-foot Pyramid Peak.

A young canoeist tries a stand-up paddling technique near his home at the head of Lake Chelan. Fiftyfive miles long and rarely more than a mile wide, the great glacial lake is at once one of the most beautiful and isolated in North America.

From previous page According to the boat’s narrator, that should make it the deepest gorge in the United States at 8,631 feet. “The Monster of Lake Chelan is reputed to dwell in this section of the lake,” she added. “He isn’t often seen, but he can make lake conditions very rough, especially if you litter.”

Lake Chelan’s only community between Manson and Stehekin is Lucerne, on the southwest shore about eight miles before Stehekin.

It boomed between 1938 and 1957, when it served Washington’s largest copper mine, Holden Village, 12 miles up Railroad Creek. A road, not a railroad, carried ore from the mine to be barged to Chelan.

About $66.5 million was taken from the mine in its brief lifetime, the narrator said, and Holden Village was a model mining-company town. Despite the remote location, miners and their families had such luxuries as a movie theater, bowling alley and ice cream parlor. After the mine closed, its buildings were donated to the Lutheran Church, which continues to use the site today as a retreat center.

Exploring Stehekin From the moment the Lady Express arrived at Stehekin Landing, I knew I was going to enjoy my brief stay. Midday diners sat on the spacious wooden deck of the Stehekin Landing Resort, basking in the summer sunshine. A short trail climbed to the National Park Service’s Golden West Visitor Center, where an

introduction to the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area and the adjacent North Cascades National Park was offered.

I hoofed it directly to Discovery Bikes’ rental location, a quartermile north along the lakeshore.

Although some day trippers boarded a red tour bus, I preferred to be self-propelled and get a little exercise.

My first stop was the Stehekin Pastry Co., an oversized log cabin known to locals merely as “the bakery.” My egg-salad sandwich on freshly made wheat bread was a good protein-and-carb boost for my eight-mile (round-trip) ride.

Just past the beautiful new (1988) Stehekin Schoolhouse, I found the old one-room log building, its walls still adorned with history and geography papers from its final classes. It served three generations of children beginning in 1921. Longtime residents speak of the school with reverence; they were understandably concerned when last week’s fire crept within a half-mile of the building before it was turned away.

About 3½ miles from Stehekin Landing, Rainbow Falls drop impressively 312 feet from a lofty ridge. The mists swirl around a forest of Western red cedars and Douglas firs, nourishing a sea of sword ferns and colorful wild-

FURNITURE OUTLET

flowers at its base.

Rainbow Creek continues downhill through the old Buckner Orchard, my final bicycling destination. Gnarled apple trees stood in rows around a pair of old log homestead buildings (one raised in 1890) and a rustic barn. A rusted Forest Service truck was permanently parked in a field of tall grass and weeds. This definitely felt like another era.

Time was getting short as I turned my wheels back to Stehekin Landing. I barely had time for a glimpse at The Garden, where organic farmers offer a wealth of vegetables, fruits, herbs and goatdairy products (including cheese and yogurt) for the return trip.

After returning my bicycle, I took a quick glimpse in the visitor center — and at an adjacent handicrafts shop, the House That Jack Built — before boarding the Lady of the Lake II for my return voyage to Chelan.

What would I do with extra hours and days in a return visit to Chelan?

For starters, I would go hik-

ing. I would walk for miles down the lakeshore. I would climb the adjacent ridges to amazing viewpoints. I would take the Stehekin Valley shuttle bus (four times daily in summer) to the Stehekin Valley Ranch, where I would join outfitters on a horseback ride into North Cascades National Park.

I would fish the same waters from which the Washington staterecord trout, a 35-pound mackinaw, was pulled in 2001. I would go whitewater rafting or kayaking on the Stehekin River. Mostly, I would just relax. I would simply soak in the splendid isolation.

And if three days weren’t enough, I’d try three weeks. Or maybe three months.

The good life is about more than money

BOSTON — When it comes to feeling as though you’re enjoying the good life, money matters.

Make no mistake about it. But it’s just one critical ingredient, according to a new study.

Being healthy, creating deep relationships with family and friends, having a sense of purpose and feeling like you belong are major components of a happy life. What’s more, those ingredients are just as true for those in their 20s as those in their 70s — and in the midst of a recession, too, according to MetLife’s Mature Market Institute 2010 Meaning Really Matters study, which is based on the work of Richard Leider, author of “The Power of Purpose.�

Being healthy and wealthy have always been two wellknown ingredients of happiness, but the study also shed light on what it takes to live the good life and what type of people are living one.

If you’re happy, age might have something to do with it. In 2010, almost half of those aged 45 to 74 said they were living the good life compared to just 29 percent of 25- to 44-year-olds.

But how do you know whether you’re living the good life? In the study, MetLife said those living the good life uttered such comments as: “Being spiritually, emo-

tionally, mentally, and physically healthy,� “Having enough money not to worry about whether or not I can pay the bills�; “good friends to share life with�; and “Having a safe, healthy and happy life with family and friends.�

MetLife said 74 percent of those living the good life were completely content, as opposed to only 24 percent who weren’t living the good life.

The chief component is having a sense of purpose, according to the study. That sense of purpose is “interrelated with vision — having clarity about the path to the good life and focus — knowing and concentrating on the most important things that will get you to the good life.�

The good news, at least for those who equate wisdom with age, is this: The older you are, the more likely you have vision and focus. Younger Americans, not so much — proving once again perhaps that youth is wasted on the young.

Likewise, MetLife reports that older Americans (those ages 45-74) are more likely to focus on meaning-laden activities like spending more time helping others and making their community a comfortable place to be than younger people, while younger cohorts plan to spend more time on such crass activities as generating, managing and accumulating money.

B

Finding the path to the good life So, what’s the trick to leading the good instead of the bad life? Well, according to MetLife, you can greatly improve your chances by looking at your long- and short-term plans, including “a situational assessment of where you are today.�

Specifically, MetLife recommends the following: First, envision your long- and near-term future. Think about your life two or three years out and ask yourself the following questions. Then think about your life 20 years from now and ask yourself the very same questions.

Picture yourself in two or three years and then in 20 years. How old are you? What goals do you have for yourself?

What are you doing? How much are you working? If you are working, what are you doing? Are you spending the amount of time you would like with friends and family? What kind of daily routine do you have? What do you like to do with your free time?

How are your loved ones? How close do your loved ones live to you? What are your loved ones doing? How often do you see your loved ones? What important changes in their lives have they experienced?

Second, get a sense of your wealth. What’s the point of having the good life without money? Exactly. MetLife says the other thing you need to do is ask yourself the following questions about money.

Do you know what your assets are worth?

Do you know your net income?

Do you know your total spending?

Is there any money left over to help reach your goals?

Said MetLife: “Assess the information you have put together and consider whether your current financial and legal situation is on track to support your near-term and long-term goals.�

Last but not least, MetLife recommends not just creating and acting on the plan, but protecting it as well. Why is that so important? As everyone knows, stuff — bad and good — happens in life. “Living the good life also means weathering significant changes and transitions caused by positive or negative ‘trigger events’ such as job loss, marriage, illness, the birth of a child or grandchild, divorce, moving, retirement and the death of a loved one,� the study said.

Dorm life: How to organize your tiny space

By Kristill Gustafson Albany Times Union

After 18 years in your parents’ house, you’ve kind of gotten used to having your choice of rooms in which you could text that hot girl from chemistry class, eat chips or kick off your shoes. Things are changing come fall, and we’re not just talking about the leaves on that oak tree in the front yard.

You’re about to move into a space that may very well be smaller than your childhood bedroom, and you’re going to have to share the new digs with someone else and do a little downsizing. You’re also going to want to maximize every inch of your dorm room from the back of the door to the

Lynch Continued from C1 Set at the Canadian border in the aftermath of 9/11, the book came out in paperback last month. In a phone interview with The Bulletin, Lynch, 48, said he plans to read from both his novels when he visits Central Oregon bookshops later this week (see “If you go”).

A resident of Olympia, Jim Lynch Wash., where he lives with his wife and daughter, Lynch recently made seven stops in eight nights around the San Juan Islands in Washington.

“My boat did end up breaking down on me, but I didn’t miss an event, so it all went pretty well,” he said, adding, “I won’t be navigating your rivers.”

Lynch says that he set “Border Songs” amid the rising tensions on both sides of the border, “where both countries are divided by as little as a drainage ditch,” he said.

“I just kind of had fun with that time period, when they were trying to stop terrorists from coming down and were primarily catching marijuana smugglers heading south.” The book, he adds, has been likened by some to the quirky former CBS show from the 1990s, “Northern

Exposure.”

“I think it’s heavier than that, but it has kind of a satirical comic element because of the nature of the guy at the center of it, my extremely tall, highly dyslexic rookie border patrol guard.”

The idea for the book came to him when he was with The Oregonian. “I was working out of my house here in Olympia, writing about the state of Washington for them, and so I went up there after 9/11 and it kind of came to me when I was riding around with the border patrol agents.”

The border patrol agents told him that despite the rising tensions and ramped-up border patrols, their efforts were “kind of ridiculous, because we only catch the stupid ones; this border is really impossible to guard.”

been particularly fascinated with “Border Songs,” because “there just aren’t many Americans that write about what they consider their border.” He did 17 interviews with TV, radio and print in two days.

Being on the opposite end of the interview process is something former reporter Lynch has become accustomed to.

“One thing I do realize, though, is that there is a big gap between the really good and the really bad reporters,” he said. “When you’re a reporter, you never really know anybody’s else’s style.”

With two published novels under his belt, Lynch said reviewers have already begun to look for patterns in his work.

“I’m kind of getting labeled as the Northwest nature-boy novelist, because both of my novels have a lot of nature in them and are so clearly set in western Washington.” He plans to set his next book in Seattle.

“I just think that (in) this region, we don’t have that much history or culture compared to most parts of the world, but we do have this amazing landscape,” Lynch said. “And so for me, I love including it in my novels. Maybe it’s the journalist in me, and I like to write about what I can see and describe, but I think the terrain is a powerful tool in fiction around here, and I’m happy to utilize it.”

There’s no such thing as a setback for Tony Robbins

By Abby Ellin

Tony Robbins, a motivational speaker and author, had a setback of his own when his show “Breakthrough with Tony Robbins” was canceled after two episodes due to poor ratings.

New York Times News Service

Tony Robbins — self-help guru, business mogul and, most recently, aspiring television star — needed some encouragement.

The Great Motivator was on a chest press anchored with a 460pound weight, which he had to slowly lift. A metronome counted the beats: One ... two ... three.

Release.

There to help was Fredrick Hahn, the owner of Serious Strength Personal Training Studios in Manhattan, where Robbins, 50, works out when he’s in town. Hahn pointed to a plaque on the wall and said: “Remember: Breathe freely, go slowly, stay focused.”

The words could have come from Robbins. Instead, he exhaled loudly. “Wow, that was good,” he said, sipping water from a paper cup. He moved to another machine and Hahn placed a fan by Robbins’ feet. “I don’t want you to sweat, because when you sweat you get overheated and you’re not as effective,” Hahn said.

Robbins nodded. He under-

stood “effective.” That is, after all, what he teaches in his books, seminars, DVDs and — at least until recently — a TV show, “Breakthrough With Tony Robbins.”

Next ‘Star Wars’ project will be all about the fans

By Tish Wells WASHINGTON — Ever since “Star Wars” hit theaters in 1977, fans have felt passionately about the series. For many, it broadened their horizons, excited their imaginations and provided new friends.

Lucasfilm, George Lucas’ production company, has started a project aimed at capturing — and promoting — the ongoing obsession with the “Star Wars” brand.

Called the “Stories Project,” the effort consists of videotaping fans’ memories of how the sixfilm saga has touched their lives.

“Everyone’s got a story; we’ve been hearing them from fans — and sharing them amongst ourselves internally — for years,” said Josh Kushins, 32, the head of Lucasfilm communications, who was born a year after “Star Wars” debuted. “We are dedicated to collecting as many as possible. ...

It’s really eye-opening to see how ‘Star Wars’ has affected people’s lives throughout the years.”

Kushins will be taping at the mega-“Star Wars” convention Celebration V, Aug. 11-15 in Orlando, Fla. Lucas, the creator of the series, recognized what an icon “Star Wars” has become in the prologue of a new book, “Star Wars: Year by Year.” “‘Star Wars’ has become so ingrained in the cultural psyche that world leaders have defined themselves with reference to it,” he said in a statement that would seem egomaniacal if it

weren’t true.

Some fans remember vividly when the movie first came out.

“I saw it in June 1977, saw it on a Saturday,” said Brian Mix, 49, then of San Diego. He became a huge fan with “The Empire Strikes Back,” the 1980 sequel.

He used to take days off work to watch the filming of the sand barge scenes of “Return of the Jedi” in 1983.

Some fans, such as the late Bev Clark in Seattle, published fan magazines that Lucasfilm collected. Some editors even framed the checks Lucas sent them instead of cashing them to pay their sizable printing costs.

Christopher DeGrazio, 35, an online support specialist at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Fla., which specializes in entertainment media, was 6 when he first saw “The Empire Strikes Back” in a theater. He first saw “Star Wars” on a laser disc.

He’s shared his enjoyment of the series with his two children, though he hasn’t shown his son, Bryant, 9, the darker “Revenge of the Sith.”

His son is a fan of the animated “Clone Wars” series, the latest from Lucasfilm. “The clones look cool,” Bryant DeGrazio said.

Kushins said that Lucasfilm hadn’t decided yet what it intends to do with all the video it was collecting of fans.

“The project’s still very much in its early stages,” he said. “Right now, we are focused on speaking with fans and gathering their stories.”

“Awaken the Giant Within.”

He himself does not seem to have any trouble awakening the giant within, or without. Everything about him is supersized: his charm; his booming voice; his 6foot-7, 275-pound frame.

Soon, Robbins completed his

routine: 300 pounds on the seated leg curl; 460 pounds on the chest press; 600 pounds on the leg press. Seven machines in 25 minutes. For some, it’s an extreme routine, but not for Tony Robbins.

“Life isn’t balance,” he said.

“Balance is a lie. Whatever I do, I

do a million percent.” (Examples: In the last two months, he has lectured in California, Bali, India, China, Scotland and Italy; he and his wife, Sage, own homes in Vancouver; Fiji; Sun Valley, Idaho; and Desert Palms, Calif.)

Robbins changed into a navy shirt and jeans and headed toward Central Park for a late-afternoon stroll. It was not your average walk in the park. Indeed, he managed only a few feet before passers-by began calling out.

“Hey, Tony!”

“I love your book!”

“Hey, thanks,” Robbins said, hand extended, charisma in hyperdrive. “What’s your name?

Earl? Good to meet you!”

He asked an exultant young woman named Carol how she knew his work. She said she first encountered him years ago, when she was unemployed. “You had tapes back then,” she said. “I kept implementing everything you said throughout my life. Pretty soon I thought, is that my idea or did I steal it from him?”

Robbins laughed. “Trust me, I probably stole it from somebody

somewhere, too,” he said, wrapping his arms around her. “Oh! I’m doing a new show called ‘Breakthrough with Tony Robbins’ on Tuesday night.”

“Are you kidding me?” Carol said. “I’ve got it programmed into my phone.”

Carol, along with many other fans, will no doubt be disappointed to learn that the show — which challenged participants to “rewrite their story” — was pulled after two episodes, one of which featured a quadriplegic who parachuted out of a helicopter. The reason: poor ratings.

Not surprisingly, Robbins is viewing the setback, which came late last week after this interview was conducted, as a chance for his own growth. As he explained by e-mail from his home in Fiji, where he owns the Namale Resort and Spa: “My work is about helping people transform their own lives. The feedback from both the audience and television critics shows we achieved that, and I’m grateful for the reach and experience that the specials created.”

Silva rallies in fifth round for win over Sonnen at UFC 117

Season of parity on tap in Pac-10?

OAKLAND, Calif. — Anderson Silva shook off a slow start and used a triangle choke to get Chael Sonnen to tap out late in the fifth round of their middleweight championship bout in the main event of UFC 117 on Saturday.

Silva wasn’t able to mount much of an offensive attack before locking Sonnen’s arm into the submission hold with 1:50 remaining in the fight. It was Silva’s seventh title defense of the belt he has held for nearly four years.

Sonnen, who spent the days leading up to the fight criticizing and belittling Silva, controlled the bout and was the aggressor most of the night. He repeatedly took the champion to the mat and landed numerous unanswered punches to Silva’s head, but was unable to finish the job.

One rough ride The High Cascades 100-mile mountain bike race near Bend can challenge even the toughest riders

By Katie Brauns

The Bulletin

For the fastest riders in the High Cascades 100-mile mountain bike race, stopping, even for a short time, is not an option.

“There’s two different ways to approach these races,” said Cary Smith, 41, of Jackson, Wyo., whose winning time was 8 hours, 9 minutes, 15 seconds. “There’s people who are trying to win it, and they’re not stopping, they’re

cruising. … Other people come in to (the aid station) and they have a hard time leaving.”

Smith caught and passed Bend’s Chris Sheppard — last year’s winner of the Cas-

cades 100 — when Sheppard took a wrong turn on the course that started and finished at Wanoga Sno-park.

Sheppard, who was runner-up in a time of 8:15:36, rushed home shortly after finishing to be with his newborn baby. The third men’s finisher was Josh Tostado (8:23:23).

“This is the shortest race I do,” said Tostado, 34, of Breckenridge, Colo. “I do a lot of 100(-mile races). I do 12-hour races and 24s.”

Part of the National Ultra Endurance Series (NUE Series), the High Cascades 100 drew nearly 200 participants from around the nation.

The Bend Elks are already in the playoffs, but they aren’t exactly heading into the postseason on a hot streak.

The Elks had just five hits as they lost a West Coast League baseball game to the Wenatchee AppleSox 3-0 on Saturday night at Bend’s Vince Genna Stadium.

The loss was Bend’s fifth straight in WCL play. Despite that, the Elks already have their spot in the postseason locked up, and will be the No. 2 team out of the West Next up Division.

Wenatchee got all the runs it needed on Saturday in the second inning, getting to Bend starter Jordan Remer for all three runs, on three hits and two walks. Remer lasted just 1 2 ⁄3 innings, but the bullpen shut down the AppleSox (29-18) the rest of the way. Relievers Jason Wilson, Richie Ochoa and Skip Spencer allowed just three hits, one walk and no runs the rest of the way.

The Elks managed little in the way of offense. Donald Collins, was the lone bright spot, going two for three with a lead-off triple in the seventh inning that the Elks could not convert into a run. Tyler Smith, Peter Lavin, and Riley Tompkins had the other hits for the Elks.

Woods seems lost with no way out

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

T

he revelations that once seemed to come daily have now largely stopped. No more mistresses have stepped forward, and no more apologies are necessary.

Nine months after the secret world of Tiger Woods was laid bare, even the tabloids and celebrity websites seem to have lost interest. The only real questions left are how much his wife will get in a divorce and when she will get it.

Indeed, these should almost be good times for Woods. The worst of his humiliations are just a memory, the trips to rehab are apparently over, and

Inside • Americans Ryan Palmer, Sean O’Hair are tied for lead at Bridgestone Invitational, Page D5 even the British tabloids couldn’t beat him down at St. Andrews.

Plus he’s got millions of people who still think he’s the greatest thing to ever grace a 2-iron.

All good, except for one thing. The greatest player of our time doesn’t seem to have a clue on the golf course anymore.

S B Hockey • Chris Chelios to retire, work for Red Wings: Red Wings general manager Ken Holland says Chris Chelios is going to work for the team. Holland said Saturday night that Chelios’ new job doesn’t have a title yet and his specific responsibilities haven’t been determined. The 48-year-old Chelios played for the Atlanta Thrashers last season. The defenseman helped Detroit and Montreal win the Stanley Cup, won the Norris Trophy three times as the NHL’s top defenseman, and was an 11-time All-Star.

Tennis • Nadal, Djokovic to team for doubles in Toronto: Talk about a one-two punch: No. 1 Rafael Nadal and No. 2 Novak Djokovic are teaming up to play doubles together at next week’s tournament in Toronto. The ATP said it believes it’s the first time the men holding the top two spots in the singles rankings have partnered for doubles at a tournament since No. 1 Jimmy Connors and No. 2 Arthur Ashe did it in 1976. Benito Perez-Barbadillo, the publicist for Nadal and Djokovic, said the pair discussed the possibility of playing with each other last season at hard-court events in Montreal or Cincinnati. But Nadal wound up having a stomach muscle problem, so those plans were scuttled.

Horse racing • Muscle Massive wins the Hambletonian: Muscle Massive edged Lucky Chucky by a half length in the $1.5 million Hambletonian for 3-year-old trotters on Saturday at the Meadowlands Racetrack. Driver Ron Pierce got his third Hambletonian win. Trainer Jimmy Takter won the trotting classic for the second time. The time was 1:51 for the one mile. Muscle Massive paid $15 to win, his fourth victory in eight starts this season. It was his sixth win in 14 career races.

Baseball • Red Sox sign Carlos Delgado to minor league deal: The banged-up Boston Red Sox have signed free agent slugger Carlos Delgado to a minor league contract. The 38-year-old Delgado has not played in the majors since May 2009 for the New York Mets. He has had two hip surgeries since then. Delgado is set to report to Triple-A Pawtucket today. He played winter ball in Puerto Rico during the offseason before hip problems slowed him.

Football • Haynesworth passes Redskins conditioning test: After he passed the Washington Redskins conditioning test, Albert Haynesworth was in no shape to practice.

Haynesworth finally conquered the 300-yard shuttle runs Saturday and was allowed to take part in his first practice of training camp. But he had a huge wrap put on his left knee midway through the session and became a spectator again during the offense-vs.-defense team drills.

Haynesworth passed the test on the 10th day of camp, ending a daily soap opera that had overshadowed everything else at Redskins Park. The Redskins are off today, and coaches say they expect Haynesworth to be able to go through a regular practice Monday. He will start off working with the second-team unit at nose tackle.

Swimming • Lochte wins 200 backstroke at U.S. nationals: Ryan Lochte won the 200-meter backstroke at the U.S. national championships in Irvine, Calif., on Saturday night. Lochte, the 2008 Olympic gold medalist, recorded the second-fastest time in the world this year and touched in 1:55.58. Aaron Peirsol took second at 1:56.28. Tyler Clary was clocked at 1:56.36. Michael Phelps finished fourth at 1:56.98.

NASCAR: SPRINT CUP

TENNIS ROUNDUP

Edwards wins Watkins Glen pole

Radwanska, Kuznetsova headed to final in Carlsbad

By John Kekis The Associated Press

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — A year ago, Carl Edwards started 33rd in the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International and finished third. This time he’ll start at the front.

Edwards turned a lap of 124.432 mph in 70.882 seconds on Saturday to easily outdistance Jamie McMurray’s lap of 123.814 mph in 71.236 seconds. It was just the fifth pole in 215 starts for Edwards, his first on a road course in Cup competition, and it was fast. Edwards was just a few ticks off Jeff Gordon’s 2003 track record of 124.58 mph in 70.7979 seconds.

“Unbelievable! I can’t tell you how much that helps our team,” Edwards said. “(Crew chief) Bob (Osborne) said P1. I thought he said 21. That’s a great lap. We’re just enjoying the wave we’re riding. We’re making a comeback.”

And that should help team owner Jack Roush in his recovery from a plane crash 10 days ago. The 68-year-old Roush, who also received a boost last week with Greg Biffle’s win at Pocono, is at the Mayo Clinic and will remain there indefinitely to treat facial injuries.

Edwards has put together four straight finishes of seventh or better, including a second at Chicagoland and a third a week ago at Pocono, to surge to 10th in the points standings with only five races remaining before the Chase for the Sprint Cup title. Only the top 12 drivers qualify for the Chase.

“It feels good,” said Edwards, whose last pole was two years ago at Bristol. “You guys know how we’ve struggled. This last month we’ve been going in the right direction. It means a lot to all the folks who stuck with us — Aflac, Ford. Nobody’s giving up. If I can just get a good start, keep our car up front, race in clean air, keep the fenders on it, I think the qualifying effort will pay off.”

Juan Pablo Montoya will go off third, followed by AJ Allmendinger and Kurt Busch.

Five-time Watkins Glen winner Tony Stewart, Biffle, Scott Speed, Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch round out the top 10.

Marcos Ambrose, who finished second to Stewart in last year’s race, will start 11th.

Gordon, a four-time Watkins Glen winner, qualified 16th and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 41st.

Greg Biffle was fastest in both of Friday’s practices. Coming off his win at Pocono, his first of the season, and sitting 11th in the standings, Biffle said he decided to look at the big picture.

“I ran a bit conservative,” Biffle said. “Getting up to speed I noticed that the car was a little bit freer than what it was yesterday. I figured if I could back off just a little bit, run

Carl Edwards signs autographs for fans after winning the pole for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen auto race in Watkins Glen, N.Y., Saturday. The race is scheduled for today at 10 a.m. on ESPN.

Ambrose wins Zippo 200 WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Marcos Ambrose won the Nationwide Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen International for the third straight time.

Ambrose started on pole and dominated the race, leading the final half of the 82-lap race around the 11-turn, 2.45-mile layout, and beat Joey Logano by 2.8 seconds.

Kevin Harvick somehow avoided a 10-car wreck and overcame a dustup on the first lap and a speeding penalty on pit road to finish third. Points leader Brad Keselowski was fourth, followed by Kyle Busch, who was seeking his fourth straight win.

Ron Fellows, Nelson Piquet, Jacques Villeneuve, Steve Wallace and Michael McDowell rounded out the top 10.

Carl Edwards, second in points, finished 33rd after losing a cylinder and dropped 327 points behind Keselowski.

a good, solid lap rather than make a mistake, be in the ditch, and have to come from the back. I’m really thinking about the Chase right now.”

The top four cars in the Hendrick Motorsports stable struggled in Friday’s two practices despite feedback from Gordon, who took part in a Goodyear tire test in June and thought he had brought some valuable data back to the shop. Only Johnson found enough speed to crack the top 10 in qualifying.

“With the tire test that Jeff was a part of, it’s just kind of mind-boggling that we could have been that far off,” said Johnson, who notched the first road course victory of his career at Sonoma in June. “Making up ground, I hope we can make up enough before the race.”

Gordon, winless at the storied track since 2001, qualified at 122.783 mph, a vast improvement from practice.

“I felt some real positive things in the car,” said Gordon, who has made 602 straight Cup starts. “The car turned a little bit better than I was expecting. I saw some things that have some real potential. I’m very happy about that. It’s certainly a big gain from yesterday.

I’m excited about that.”

Ambrose, still seeking that breakthrough Cup victory, started from the pole in Saturday’s Nationwide race and was confident about today. He finished second to Stewart a year ago in the Cup race and third to Kyle Busch in 2008 after starting last.

Blocking during a race is in the eye of the beholder

By Will Graves The Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ohio — Scott Dixon watched Helio Castroneves move his No. 3 Honda a couple car widths to the outside entering Turn 1 at Edmonton two weeks ago, in an attempt to cut off Penske Racing teammate Will Power.

Uh-oh Helio, Dixon thought.

That’s a no-no.

IndyCar officials agreed, black-flagging Castroneves for blocking with two laps remaining, a ruling that helped Dixon pick up his second victory of the season while Castroneves was bumped to 10th.

The typically affable Brazilian erupted afterward, earning himself a $60,000 fine for grabbing an official. Castroneves apologized for his behavior but still believes he did nothing wrong on the track, arguing the rule is too vague.

“The calls have been very inconsistent and I felt I should not have been black-flagged and the rules do not say that,” he said.

“They change. So it’s sad.”

His fellow drivers disagree, claiming the first turn at Edmonton is one of the easiest spots in the series to police.

The turn comes at the end of a long straightaway that’s actually an airport runway. A series of black tire marks highlight the typical path of a race car. Castroneves appeared to go well outside it to keep Power in his rearview mirror.

“I don’t know what all the fuss is about,” said Dario Franchitti.

“It’s such a blatant disregard for the rules. What’s the problem?”

Yet drivers understand Castroneves’ frustration. Blocking in IndyCar is akin to holding in football or charging in basketball: something that’s entire up to the eye of the beholder.

“It’s a hard call to make because half the time you don’t know if it’s going to be called or not,” said Dixon, who has been penalized three times for blocking during his career.

IndyCar president of competition Brian Barnhart said race officials do the best they can trying to make sure two dozen drivers racing in close quarters at

Power captures IndyCar road championship LEXINGTON, Ohio — Will Power is IndyCar’s king of the road.

The Australian driver captured the pole for today’s race at Mid-Ohio.

Power turned a lap time of 1:07.199 at the twisting 2.258-mile course. Dario Franchitti qualified second, followed by Takuma Sato and Ryan HunterReay.

The pole is Power’s seventh pole of the season, tying a record set by Penske Racing teammate Helio Castroneves in 2007.

The performance allowed Power to clinch IndyCar’s first Road Course Championship. The former ChampCar regular has dominated the road events this season, collecting four victories and finishing no worse than fourth in seven road races.

Power enters today’s race with a 51-point lead over Franchitti in the overall standings.

— The Associated Press

high speeds remain on their best behavior.

It isn’t easy, particularly when dealing with people whose livelihood depends on getting around the next corner ahead of everyone else. Barnhart maintains blocking “is being as consistently enforced as we can do it” but that the rule is constantly evolving.

“We try to make it as clear as possible,” Barnhart said.

Even if it doesn’t always appear that way to fans.

Driver Graham Rahal watched the Edmonton race with his girlfriend. When he saw Castroneves hop outside to shut the door on Power, he immediately knew Castroneves had crossed the line. His girlfriend didn’t see it that way.

His message: sorry, this isn’t NASCAR. “I think that the beauty of our sport is the clean racing,” said Rahal, who posted the fastest practice time on Friday for today’s race at Mid-Ohio. “Stock cars it’s like ‘Oh, I’m going to get by this guy so I’m not going to break this corner and take him out.’ That’s not racing. That’s bumper cars.”

Barnhart stressed the rules against blocking aren’t there to prohibit drivers from racing, it’s to protect them from each other.

Unlike NASCAR, where “rubbing is racing” is part of the show, IndyCar drivers have to be more careful. One inadvertent clipping of wheels can send cars into the wall or worse.

It’s dangerous. It’s expensive

and can make for a less than compelling product.

If officials loosened up the rules, Barnhart fears races would turn into nothing but a three-hour caution-filled parade with drivers taking turns knocking each other out.

For a series trying to rebrand itself, that’s not exactly a good business plan.

“We’ve got to do what we can to make our sport easy to follow,” he said. “We’ve got to do what we can to make our sport entertaining.”

There is a middle ground, one the series hopes to find in 2012 when it unveils its redesigned car. The new car will feature new safety measures that could allow drivers to race closer together.

It’s an avenue officials are willing to explore, if it makes sense.

And for all the controversy the finish at Edmonton stirred up, Barnhart knows it’s up to the drivers to decide what to do, all officials can do is try to keep them in line.

“They’ve got the controls, they’ve got the wheels and they’ve got the pedals,” he said.

“They make the decisions, not us and it all boils down to one thing: respect.”

CARLSBAD, Calif. — No. 4 seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland reached her first final in 10 months with a 6-4, 62 win over Slovakia’s Daniela Hantuchova at the Mercury Insurance Open on Saturday night.

Radwanska, ranked 10th in the world, used Hantuchova’s double fault in the seventh game for the only break of the first set. She then used her counterpunching game to capture the second set, which included a 20-minute seventh game in which Hantuchova saved seven match points.

This is Radwanska’s first trip to a final since October when she lost at Beijing to Russia’s Svetlana Kuznetsova, who will again be her opponent today.

The unseeded Kuznetsova advanced to the championship match with a 6-4, 6-0 win over No. 5 seed Flavia Pennetta.

Radwanska flashed her entire arsenal of shots during the match, many coming in the marathon seventh game that featured 28 points, 11 deuces and a standing ovation from the crowd when it was done.

Hantuchova, down two breaks in the second set, played some of her best tennis during the game as she held serve to extend the match.

Radwanska finally ended it in the next game on her eighth match point.

Radwanska was more consistent with 21 winners and only nine unforced errors, including just two in the second set. Hantuchova had more winners (26) but committed 36 unforced errors.

In the other semifinal, Kuznetsova used her powerful forehand and took advantage of Pennetta’s weak serve to win nine of the final 10 games.

“I’m a little more comfortable to play her because she doesn’t overpower me,” Kuznetsova said after improving to 4-0 against Pennetta.

Kuznetsova’s last title was her 6-4, 6-2 win over Radwanska at Beijing. Radwanska has not won a tournament in more than two years.

“It’s good that I make it

Agnieszka Radwanska returns to Daniela Hantuchova during the Mercury Insurance Open tennis tournament in Carlsbad, Calif., Saturday. to a final, but it’s not enough,” Kuznetsova said. “Even winning a trophy is not enough but it’s one step forward.”

Kuznetsova continues her fight to regain her standing on the tour. After winning three times in 2009 to run her career total to 12, the two-time Grand Slam champion has had a rough 10 months.

Also on Saturday: Nalbandian upsets Cilic WASHINGTON — David Nalbandian, of Argentina, reached his first final in 1½ years by overwhelming 13th-ranked Marin Cilic, of Croatia, 6-2, 6-2 at the Legg Mason Tennis Classic. In today’s final, Nalbandian faces Marcos Baghdatis, who beat Xavier Malisse 6-2, 7-6 (4).

Wozniacki battles to final COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki reached the final of the Danish Open after beating Anna Chakvetadze of Russia 6-1, 2-6, 6-4. Wozniacki cruised through the first set. But Chakvetadze broke Wozniacki three times in the second to force the deciding set. In today’s final, the thirdranked Wozniacki will face Klara Zakopalova. She defeated second-seeded Li Na of China 63, 1-6, 6-4.

O’Hair, Palmer move atop leaderboard at Firestone

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

AKRON, Ohio — Sean O’Hair and Ryan Palmer kept firing at flags and making birdies until they wound up tied for the lead Saturday in the Bridgestone Invitational. The way this tournament is going, that only means they get to tee off last in the final round.

Palmer birdied three of his last five holes for a 7-under 63.

O’Hair made an eagle early in his round and found confidence late with a wedge to a dangerous pin for birdie that led to a 64 to join Palmer in the lead.

They were at 9-under 201, one shot ahead of Matt Kuchar (66).

“It doesn’t matter if you’re in the lead or one shot back, two shots back. It doesn’t matter,” O’Hair said. “There’s 18 holes of golf left (today), and in my opinion, there’s no leaders. It’s just a shootout.”

That’s what it looked like under perfect scoring conditions Saturday, with 35 players shooting in the 60s.

The group did not include seven-time Firestone champion Tiger Woods. He went through the motions on his way to a 75, finishing another poor round some two hours before the leaders even teed off. Woods was 20 shots behind, in 78th place out of 80 players in this World Golf Championship.

He declined to speak to the media for the second straight day, telling a PGA Tour official that he drove it terrible, hit his irons terrible and didn’t putt well.

Phil Mickelson also failed to break par, but he’s still in the tournament — and still has a shot to replace Woods at No. 1 in the world.

It was easy to find Mickelson

Amy Sancetta / The Associated Press

Sean O’Hair hits from the sand to the 17th green during the third round of the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, on Saturday. O’Hair is tied for the lead. on the South Course, for the gallery was cheering his every move. He got within one shot of the lead with a birdie on the par-3 seventh hole, but stumbled coming in with two bogeys for a 71.

That dropped him into a tie for 10th, four shots out of the lead.

Mickelson would have to finish alone in fourth place to reach No. 1 in the world ranking for the first time in his career.

His focus is on winning the tournament, and he’s not alone.

Mickelson was among 15 players separated by only four shots going into the final round on a Firestone course that has given up plenty of low scores with its soft, smooth greens and rough that is not nearly as dense as it has been in previous years.

Katsumasa Miyamoto set the pace early with a 62, the low round of the week and one shot off the course record set by

Woods in 2000 and Jose Maria Olazabal in 1990.

“Of all the great players that have played here that really haven’t posted that score, it’s just an honor,” Miyamoto said.

For so many others, it felt like a picnic.

Ernie Els, already a two-time PGA Tour winner this year who has been atop the tour’s FedEx Cup standings the last four months, finished with back-toback birdies for a 64 and was only two shots out of the lead. He was at 7-under 203 along with Peter Hanson, of Sweden (68), and Justin Leonard (69).

Hunter Mahan, trying to make a late push for the Ryder Cup team, shot a 66 and was among those at 204.

“It’s just unbelievable,” Els said. “If you’re on your game today, you can score because the greens are holding, the fairways are in unbelievable shape.

If you’re off target you’re going to have a tough time. Keep it in the short stuff and if you get it on the greens you’ll have a lot of opportunities.”

Retief Goosen, who had a oneshot lead, made triple bogey on the opening hole and never recovered from a bizarre situation.

After chipping just through the green, and chunking a chip on his fourth shot, the ball rolled back into the rough. The grass was thin enough that the ball kept turning in the grass, ever so slowly, over a span of about three minutes.

Goosen eventually called an official, who said he could only wait for it to stop. Once it did, he chipped on and took two putts.

He shot a 73 and wound up in the group at 4-under 206.

O’Hair hit a 3-iron to about 12 feet for eagle on his second hole and didn’t make any bogeys.

His final birdie came on the 16th, and while it’s not unusual to make birdie on a par 5 with a wedge in hand, this shot gave him some confidence.

The pin was toward the back of the soft green, so anything short would spin back to about 15 or 20 feet. Going beyond the flag brought the bunker into play. O’Hair hit a pitching wedge from 131 yards that landed near the flag, took a hop and spun back to pin-high for an easy birdie that put him in a share of the lead.

The trick now is to stay there, and O’Hair knows that won’t be easy with so many players in range on a soft course.

“Whoever is going to win this golf tournament is going to be the guy that’s ready to play tomorrow and be on top of his game,” he said. “I think I’m definitely capable of doing that.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Calcavecchia, Frost tied for Champions Tour lead The Associated Press BLAINE, Minn. — David Frost shot a 6under 66 and was tied with Mark Calcavecchia for the lead after two rounds of the 3M Championship.

John Cook (67), Kirk Hanefeld (64) and David Peoples (66) were two shots back.

In his fifth tour event since turning 50 on June 12, Calcavecchia started the day one shot behind Tommy Armour III, but birdied six of his first 10 holes to open up a three-shot lead.

Calcavecchia’s lead shrunk to one before back-to-back birdies on the 15th and 16th.

But he had bogeys at No. 17 and another at the par-5 18th, which ranked as the day’s second-easiest hole, to finish with a 66.

His second shot went into a greenside bunker and his chip went about 75 feet past the hole. He three-putted from there.

Playing with Calcavecchia, Frost made three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the front nine, before going eight holes without another. He made two more in the final four holes.

Cook, who tied for third at last week’s U.S. Senior Open, shot a 5 under 67. He was 3 under on the front nine and made birdies at Nos. 13 and 15 to get within one shot of Calcavecchia before a bogey on No. 16.

Tiger Continued from D1 His latest attempt at preserving his name and finding his game came this week in Ohio, where the best players in the world gathered for a tournament Woods has owned in the past.

There was once a day — just last year, for example — when Woods simply showed up at the Bridgestone Invitational, stuck a tee in the ground, and strolled his way to yet another win.

That day now seems so far, far away.

On Saturday he finished his round long before the leaders even teed off. By the time he was done he had posted his worst 54-hole score ever as a pro, and was fighting to stay out of last place.

Someone named Katsumasa Miyamoto beat him by 13 shots on this day alone. Ernie Els beat him by 11.

You can almost see the embarrassment in his face. To someone once so dominant he used to intimidate opponents, playing golf among the also-rans is as humiliating as being caught with a handful of mistresses in a Vegas hotel room.

Suddenly, his whole legacy is in as much jeopardy as his once pristine image. Once thought to be a cinch to break Jack Nicklaus’ record and be declared the greatest golfer ever, Woods has lost both his mystique and his confidence. He now goes into the final major of the season next week, where the odds are better that he will miss the cut than win the PGA Championship for a fifth time.

If Phil Mickelson can finish strong, Woods will lose the No. 1 ranking for the first time

Jim Mone / The Associated Press

Mark Calcavecchia watches his drive off the seventh tee during the second round of the 3M Championship Saturday in Blaine, Minn. Calcavecchia is tied for the lead.

Hanefeld, who has one top-25 in 10 starts this year, was 4 under on the front, and birdied No. 10, 11, 16 and 18. He hit every green and fairway in regulation.

Steve Haskins eagled No. 18 for a 66, and is joined by Jeff Sluman (68) three shots

in more than five years. Unless he suddenly finds his game today he’s headed to his worst finish since his first tournament as a pro 14 years ago.

And he’s going to be making Corey Pavin’s job as Ryder Cup captain a lot harder than Pavin ever imagined it would be.

Shockingly enough, there’s a good chance Woods won’t make the team when the points are added up at the end of the PGA Championship. Even more shocking, there’s a growing school of thought that Pavin should not make him a captain’s pick for the team that travels to Wales next month to defend the cup.

Tiger Woods not qualifying would have been unimaginable in Ryder Cups of past.

Tiger Woods not being picked to play would have been utterly unthinkable.

Why all this is happening is pretty easy to understand if you watch Woods play. He sprays the ball into trees both left and right off the tee, can’t get his iron shots close, and has lost the magical putting stroke that for years enabled him to get the ball into the hole seemingly almost at will.

But the reasons behind his demise remain a mystery that Woods refuses to share with anyone outside his inner circle.

He’s 34 now, a time when the putter doesn’t always respond to commands like it did in his youth. He’s got a swing that he can’t seem to execute the same way twice in a row. And, unlike times past when he left his money matters to others when he was competing, he has to deal with lawyers who are scurrying to find ways to help him hold onto his many millions.

But there’s more. The old Woods was a practice fanatic, working on his game constantly and almost always on the range or

behind.

Armour was just 1 under for the day, and joined at — under by Mark O’Meara (66), who birdied seven of eight holes in one stretch, Ross Cochran (67) and Bruce Vaughan (67).

The openness of the TPC Twin Cities has been a welcome relief for tour players. The last two events were the British Senior Open in Scotland and the U.S. Senior Open at Sahalee Country Club outside Seattle, two unforgiving tracts were poor shots equaled poor results.

Defending champion Bernhard Langer likely won’t repeat. He is one of four players that are seven shots back. No champion has defended his title in the event’s 18-year history.

Also on Saturday: Cejka shoots 67 to takes PGA Tour lead VERONA, N.Y. — Alex Cejka shot a 5under 67 to move to 15 under and take a two-stroke lead after the third round at the Turning Stone Resort Championship. Chris Couch tied the course record with a 63 and was alone in second place at 13 under. Billy Mayfair birdied six holes on the front nine and was in third place at 12 under after a 66.

Charles Warren, Bill Lunde, Robert Garrigus and Chris Tidland were tied for fourth place at 11 under.

practice green after a round to find out ways to be even better the next day.

Contrast that to Friday when he finished around noon, then almost ran for his SUV in an attempt to get away from both the media and a golf game that even he can’t seem to stomach anymore. Phil Mickelson, meanwhile, played late, then hit the range after shooting a 68.

Barring a miracle next week at Whistling Straits, Woods will go into the Masters next year without a major championship win in almost three full years. And, while he stubbornly insists things are getting better, the scorecards don’t lie when they say he’s getting worse.

Woods will be wearing his usual Sunday red when he goes out among the first groups in the final round of the Bridgestone. But that will be the only thing familiar to those who get up early enough to watch.

He’s got no chance to win, no chance to even compete. The forced smile on his face makes it look as if the fiercest competitor ever seen on the links has now basically given up on himself.

I wrote a few months back that maybe the worst thing that could happen for the public still fascinated by Woods was that he would become a mediocre player, challenging here and there but no longer able to dominate like he had in the past.

I was wrong. What’s worse is what is happening now.

His game is gone. And the increasing reality is, it may not come back.

U.S. is in danger of falling behind the rest of the world in pro golf

By Larry Dorman New York Times News Service

AKRON, Ohio — An international surge is under way in golf, one that could shift the balance of global power away from the United States and toward Europe and the rest of the world.

Led by seven first-time winners on the PGA Tour, international golfers are poised to expand the beachhead they established on American soil with victories in 17 of the 34 events played this year — including the last two major championships.

The final major of 2010 is the PGA Championship, which starts Thursday at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis. A victory there by an international player would limit U.S.-born golfers to one major championship this year — Phil Mickelson’s Masters triumph — for the first time in 20 years.

Signs of international prowess are everywhere, on practice ranges and leaderboards at PGA Tour events across America and major championships across the Atlantic. Touring professionals from far-flung lands have stacked up victories like casino chips, making a statement that cannot be ignored.

The surprising winners of the last two majors — Graeme McDowell, of Northern Ireland, in the U.S. Open and Louis Oosthuizen, of South Africa, in the British Open — have made it clear that the current crop of international players from countries large and small is formidable.

“I think everyone can see now that they can win big tournaments,” said Oosthuizen, the relatively unknown 27-year-old who had a stunning seven-stroke victory at the British Open three weeks ago. “I think it was just a matter of a few guys stepping up and doing it for the rest to see that this is possible.”

The floodgates have opened.

Aided by the absence of Tiger Woods for the first three months of the season and abetted by his slow return to form since the Masters, international players have stepped into the void on the PGA Tour to win half of the events played before the WGCBridgestone Invitational this weekend.

“There’s probably quite a broad depth to players at the moment without any one person dominating,” said Padraig Harrington of Ireland, a three-time major winner. “So it’s quite possible. Especially when first-time winners, when guys see their friends winning or individuals winning who they can associate with and consider themselves their equals, it’s easier for them to go out and win the first time.”

Ian Poulter, an Englishman who lives in Orlando, Fla., fits that bill. Poulter, 34, who had 102 PGA Tour starts before winning, sees strength in the number of international players on the PGA Tour: 78.

“There’s more Europeans playing over here,” said Poulter, who

beat his countryman Paul Casey in the final of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February. “They’ve played their way onto the PGA Tour; they’ve accepted membership; they’ve played their 15 events.

Looking at the world rankings, there’s more Europeans in the top 30 or top 50 in the world than there ever has been, and they’re happy to come and travel and play golf, which is great.

“It’s great for the game of golf, so long may that continue.”

It may. Certain numbers indicate that the trend could have legs. Twelve Europeans and only 10 Americans are ranked among the top 30 in the world.

The remaining eight spots are split among Africa (five), South America (one), Asia (one) and Australia (one), giving international golf an impressive twothirds of the top 30.

For the Europeans — including the first-time winners Poulter, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose (who has won twice) and McDowell — playing well in a Ryder Cup year is added motivation. All should make the European team that will try to take back the Cup in the biennial competition Oct. 1 to Oct. 3 at Celtic Manor in Newport, Wales. Other Europeans are playing so well that the Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie may have to leave one or two top 20 players off his 12man team.

That is a measure of how far European golf has come. For internationals, many of whom have dual membership on the European Tour but are not eligible for the Ryder Cup, a sense of accomplishment that comes from success on the PGA Tour is motivation enough. Geoff Ogilvy, of Australia, fired the opening shot in the surge that began with his title defense at the SBS Championship in January. His countryman Stuart Appleby shot a record-tying 59 in winning the Greenbrier Classic a week ago.

Whether those leading the charge are longtime U.S. campaigners or first-time winners, all are part of a wave of international golfers riding higher than at any time since 1990. U.S.-born golfers won about 75 percent of the major championships from 1946 to 1989. Then, in 1990, Nick Faldo, of England, won the Masters and the British Open, and Wayne Grady, of Australia, captured the PGA Championship.

For the PGA Tour, the international resurgence is a win-win.

Ty Votaw, the tour’s executive vice president for international affairs, who coordinated golf’s successful effort for inclusion in the 2016 Olympics, said the “success of international players and the diversity of players on the PGA Tour can only help grow the game around the world.”

Sooners seeking new superstars after NFL exodus

Pac-10 Continued from D1 Oregon is the favorite, by a slight margin.

The Ducks are the defending conference champions after going 8-1 — 10-3 overall — and are coming off their first Rose Bowl since 1994. Oregon is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball, has a nohuddle offense that makes defenders’ heads spin and is chock-full of confidence after knocking USC off the conference throne for the first time since 2001.

Still, it wasn’t a quiet offseason for the Ducks.

The big blow was the loss of quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, who was dismissed from the team after a second run-in with the law. That leaves senior Nate Costa and sophomore Darron Thomas in a battle that will likely last until just before the season starts.

Running back LaMichael James, who set the Pac-10 freshman record with 1,546 yards rushing last season, was suspended for the season opener against New Mexico after an altercation with his ex-girlfriend that led to a guilty plea on a harassment charge. Two other players were dismissed from the team and two more were suspended for brushes with the law.

“We’re just moving forward, looking at a new season,” defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. “It’s just like we graduated the guys that are gone.”

USC made the Ducks’ offseason seem manageable.

The Trojans, coming off a lackluster 5-4 conference season, were rocked by the loss of coach Pete Carroll, who left for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, then were hit with heavy sanctions that included a two-year bowl ban after the NCAA ruled Bush and basketball player O.J. Mayo received improper benefits.

The sanctions allowed players to transfer without having to take a year off and many did leave, leaving new coach Lane Kiffin with just 70 scholarship players — 15 below the NCAA’s limit — at the start of training camp.

“The only way we’re going to be able to express ourselves is to win 13 games,” tailback Allen Bradford said. “We know it’s going to be difficult this year.”

Here’s a look at every team in the Pac-10:

Oregon Key players: QBs Nate Costa and Darron Thomas, RB LaMichael James, DE Kenny Rowe, MLB Casey Matthews. Returning starters: 9 offense, 8 defense.

Notes: Costa was slated to start two seasons ago before an injury and Thomas has drawn some comparisons to former Ducks QB Dennis Dixon, so the loss of Masoli might not slow Oregon’s potent offense much at all. ... Had nine games of more than 200 yards rushing last season including 391 vs. USC. ... Offensive line returns intact. ... Rowe had 11½ sacks last season.

Oregon State Key players: RB Jacquizz Rodgers, WR James Rodgers, DT Stephen Paea, LB Dwight Roberson, CB James Dockery. Returning starters: 8 offense, 7 defense.

Notes: Jacquizz Rodgers was third in the nation with 21 rushing TDs, while his brother, James, led the Pac-10 with 179.1 all-purpose yards per game. ... The Beavers must find a replacement for QB Sean Canfield, who graduated.

Notes: Coach Lane Kiffin draws lots of attention for what he says and how he acts, but he was 7-6 in his only season at Tennessee, with close loses to Alabama and Florida. ... Barkley started as a freshman and had an up and down season with 15 TD passes and 14 interceptions. ... Trojans start season at Hawaii, which allowed them opportunity to play 13-game regular season.

Key players: RB Shane Vereen, LB Mike Mohamed, TE Anthony Miller. Returning starters: 8 offense, 6 defense.

Notes: QB Kevin Riley has had a mixed career at Cal, but he’s a senior now and the Bears need him to find the consistency that has eluded him. ... Vereen led team with 952 yards rushing last year filling in for first-round draft pick Jahvid Best. ... New defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast was in NFL for last 15 years.

Washington Key players: QB Jake Locker, RB Chris Polk, WR Jermaine Kearse, LB Mason Foster, S Nate Williams. Returning starters: 9 offense, 6 defense.

Notes: An accurate drop-back passer, Locker is a Heisman Trophy front-runner and the likely No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL draft. ... Polk became the first freshman in school history to rush for over 1,000 yards (1,113) and caught 25 passes. ... The Huskies went from 0-12 in 2008 to 5-7 in their first season under Steve Sarkisian and expect to make a jump this season behind Locker.

Washington State Key players: QB Jeff Tuel, DE Kevin Kooymanm, DE Travis Long, WR Jared Karstetter, LB Alex Hoffman-Ellis, P Reid Forrest. Returning starters: 8 offense, 6 defense.

Notes: Any turnaround for the Cougars will have to start on defense. Washington State ranked last in total defense last season, allowing nearly 1,000 more yards than the next closest Pac-10 team. ... Washington State has won just two games the past three seasons and coach Paul Wulff’s job could be in danger if there isn’t improvement this year. ... Tuel won the starting job in a battle with junior Marshall Lobbestael, who will still get snaps during the season.

NORMAN, Okla. — It’s time for Oklahoma to move on.

Enough of what might have been had quarterback Sam Bradford stayed healthy. If Jermaine Gresham had been around to catch his passes. If Trent Williams and Brody Eldridge hadn’t joined them on a lengthy list of banged-up Sooners during an 8-5 season.

None of those players are coming back. They’ve all moved on to the NFL, along with standout defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, leaving a noticeable void at the team’s annual media day Friday. That means many of the same players who struggled as fill-ins last season will now be expected to excel as regulars in the starting lineup.

“Maybe we don’t have the Heisman Trophy guys coming back or maybe the biggest names in the world, but I really believe there’s the makings of a lot of special players on this team that could be those guys,” coach Bob Stoops said.

Over his 11 seasons in Norman, Stoops has lost a Heisman Trophy winner and a slew of NFL talent. But he’s never had an exodus quite like this one: Bradford, McCoy and Williams became the first trio of players from the same school to be taken within the first four picks of the NFL draft.

Bradford, the overall top pick

by St. Louis, did miss almost all of last season with a shoulder injury that required two surgical procedures and Gresham missed the entire season. McCoy was the only one there for the duration. All the missing parts gave Stoops a head start in finding his next wave of superstars, but the search still isn’t done.

“We’ve got to find the guys that are going to step up and be one of those leaders. I feel like we’re going in the right direction,” said Ryan Broyles, a second-team all-Big 12 pick at receiver last season. “We just have to have that strong core like the

core that we lost last year in Sam, G.K. (McCoy), Jermaine, those guys like that, Trent Williams. We’ve just got to find those guys that can take their mold, their position.”

Landry Jones said he didn’t settle into the starting quarterback’s job until after Bradford was knocked out of the Texas game and was officially done for the season. By then, the Sooners already had three losses and were searching for answers at receiver and along a battered and unproven offensive line.

Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said he’s been asked what the Sooners are going to do this year on offense that they couldn’t do last year. His response: “Execute. It’d be nice if we could execute.”

“We could talk about all the talent that we lost,” Wilson said.

“What we’re going to try to do is be a more disciplined team that can rush it, have that balance we talked about because we can rush it, be a team that takes care of the ball and be a team that gets it in the end zone.”

Unlike a year ago, when most of the key players were back from a team that played for the national title and set an NCAA single-season scoring record, Stoops isn’t sure where to set his expectations for this team.

The standard at Oklahoma is to compete for a Big 12 championship, after winning three of the last four trophies and six overall. But Stoops isn’t ready to call this team a contender yet.

“It’s a little early for me to say that without, say, four firstround draft picks coming back a year ago. It was easier to say.

And having just come off a national championship, it’s easy to project that,” he said.

“Now, obviously, that’s not the case. We’ll see. It has a chance to be a special group to compete for a Big 12 championship. And we’ll see how things go and how we work, how we prepare for it.

We’ve got a lot of work to do. If we do it well, we’ll have a chance to be a contender for it.”

Stanford Key players: QB Andrew Luck, G David DeCastro, WR Chris Owusu, NT Sione Fua, LB Shayne Skov. Returning starters: 8 offense, 7 defense.

Notes: Luck, projected as a possible first-round draft pick, takes over the reins after Doak Walker Award winner Toby Gerhart moved on to the NFL. ... Coach Jim Harbaugh has been mentioned as a possible candidate for NFL and big-name colleges but has so far stuck with Stanford. ...

The Cardinal are coming off their first bowl appearance since 2001.

Number of 300-pound linemen still ballooning

By Eddie Pells

NFL is living large

The Associated Press

Ten or 20 years ago, Nate Newton and William “The Refrigerator” Perry were on a short list of larger-than-life rarities in the NFL. The 300-plus-pound behemoths made headlines simply for existing. Their every move shook the field and made people take notice.

These days, though, players their size hardly make a dent.

Such is life in the ever-expanding world of the NFL. An analysis of league rosters shows the number of 300-pounders has risen dramatically over the decades: From a single player (Gene Ferguson of the Chargers) in 1970, to three in 1980, 94 in 1990, 301 in 2000 and 394 in 2009.

“Amazing, if you think about it,” said Michele Macedonio, who has worked as a nutritionist for the Cincinnati Bengals for most of the past decade, when told of that figure. “The question they have to ask is, ‘How big is big enough and when do we stop getting bigger and think more about getting stronger and healthier and better?’ ” Like workers in any competitive business, NFL linemen know what they have to do to keep their jobs, and in this case that means staying big. So, this August is once again littered with scenes of 300-pounders sweating through hot training camp practices. The dangers of the combination of heat, sweat and weight were brought to the fore in 2001, when 335-pound Korey Stringer died of heat stroke during camp. There haven’t been any heat-related deaths in the NFL since, which in turn has dulled the debate over whether the NFL is becoming an overweight league.

But the biggest players never forget the perilous edge they’re on. They live with it every day.

“It’s been a struggle, but it’s something you’ve got to work through,” said Redskins nose tackle Ma’ake Kemoeatu, who was in the 400-pound range last season when he tore his Achilles while playing with the Panthers.

A struggle how?

“Eating right, getting back in shape. I have a weakness — food.

My weakness is a piece of steak,” Kemoeatu said.

Miami Dolphins players Nate Garner (75) and Vernon Carey (72) during NFL football training camp, in Davie, Fla., last week.

There were 532 players in the 300-pound-plus club heading into the 2010 training camps.

Certainly, it’s possible some use — or have used — performance-enhancing drugs and slipped through the NFL’s testing system to get to where they are. And some of this season’s weights may be inflated now that a bright light has been shined on products such as StarCaps — the banned weight-loss supplement that led to the suspensions of a handful of players.

For the most part, though, the big players come by their girth honestly and are forced to walk a tightrope.

They spend the offseason in the weight room, trying to build muscle to bring their weight up.

They sweat through practices, sometimes in conditions that are not conducive to anyone, let alone a 300-pounder, running around in full pads. Then they eat. They often eat between 5,000 and 8,000 calories a day, much of it in training-table meals the teams try to make low-fat and healthy. The goal is to keep

the weight on in a healthy way — if there is such a thing as a healthy 350-pound man — lest they be pushed around, either by a teammate in practice or another team’s player when games start for real.

Kris Jenkins of the New York Jets has been on the tightrope most of his life. He recently dropped 25 pounds, to get to 365, by going on a so-called “cookie diet,” in which he eats 90-calorie bites of something that looks like a muffin top and contains milk, soy, whole-wheat flour and other ingredients.

“It was something that I realized I got to the point that I wasn’t going to be able to stick around the game for too much longer if I didn’t take better care of myself,” Jenkins said, when asked what prompted the diet.

As the players get older, the work gets tougher. Of the dozenor-so players interviewed by The Associated Press for this story, almost all acknowledged that they’ve either had to become more disciplined as the years have passed, or are seeing the

Has Romo’s time to shine finally come with Cowboys?

By Dan Pompei McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SAN ANTONIO — With all the drama that has surrounded Tony Romo, it sometimes is easy to forget the pride of Eastern Illinois has played some outstanding football as the Cowboys’ quarterback.

His 95.6 passer rating is the third best in NFL history behind only Steve Young and Philip Rivers. But in the TMZ world we live in, he’s known better for dalliances with Jessica Simpson and various starlets, vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the week before a playoff game, or postseason mistakes.

After the Cowboys’ playoff loss to the Vikings last year, he probably will be known also as the guy who was sacked six times and fumbled three times in Minneapolis.

But there’s one thing about Romo. Adversity seems to bring out his best.

The Cowboys found that out last year. After Romo was criticized for 21 turnovers in 2008, he cut the figure down to 13 in 2009.

Romo and the Cowboys begin NFL exhibitions today in Canton, Ohio, in the Hall of Fame game against their old teammate Terrell Owens and the Bengals.

And they do it with no meager goals.

“He sets the bar higher and higher every year,” said tight end and wingman Jason Witten.

“He took a huge step last year with ball protection and patience,” Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said. “But he pressed a little against Minnesota. He can still improve and be a better player.”

At 30 and with 55 NFL starts on his resume, Romo now is a mature quarterback. He has won 69 percent of his starts, and his last season was the best in Cowboys history statistically. But the undrafted free agent sat for the first three years of his career, so he still has room to grow.

“Every year you try to learn things — what you’re good at, what you’re not good at,” said

In the National Football League today, the weight of offensive and defensive linemen commonly exceeds 300 pounds.

Eric Gay / The Associated Press

Fans with footballs, markers and cameras wait for autographs, next to a poster of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo during the team’s NFL football training camp last Sunday in San Antonio.

C O M M E N TA RY Romo. “You try to make your weaknesses into strengths. For me, it’s a really enjoyable part of the process — coming out with something I didn’t feel I did well at the year before and making a big improvement at it.”

The nice thing about having a substantial body of work, Romo said, is he understands himself better than ever. During the offseason he worked on footwork and new ways to throw the ball in different situations. He also likes to study different quarterbacks. One he gave a good look to recently was John Elway.

“He’s a student of the game,” Cowboys backup quarterback Jon Kitna said. “He’s always tweaking things. He’s a gym rat.

He’ll tweak anything.”

As a young quarterback, Romo played erratically, but with age he has become more consistent.

In the process, he has inspired consistency from his team.

“That’s how you measure quarterbacks — see what they do with the guys around them,” Witten said. “He’s doing a good job of creating a tempo and a standard of how we play and

practice. He has gotten us to play at a higher level. He understands and grasps the challenge that we go as he goes.”

Like Romo, these Cowboys appear ready to peak. Their talent is as plentiful as any team’s.

Their offensive and defensive systems have taken root. And the NFC appears to be wide open.

For Romo to be considered the kind of quarterback he wants to be known as, the Cowboys will have to take advantage of all that.

He is not very impressed that his career passer rating is so high or that he is in elite company statistically. He wants what Drew Brees got last year, and what Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have. He wants what Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach all are known for — championships.

“I play the game to win,” he said. “For me it’s about winning.

The other stuff is just something to talk about at the water cooler.

It’s about winning a championship and hopefully getting in that position many times. It’s the only thing I haven’t done, but it’s the only thing I want.”

If he can do that, he’s sure to be known more for a championship than anything that happened leading up to it.

day when the “eat anything you like” method will have to go away.

“I don’t want to get any higher than 340,” said Bengals 11-year veteran guard Bobbie Williams.

“As you get older, you don’t want to get the weight on you.

You want to be able to move and keep up. You don’t want to feel burdened down by your weight.”

Yet at 340 pounds, Williams hardly stands out in today’s NFL. It’s a sign of how much things have changed.

Stats LLC provided the AP with a statistical snapshot of four NFL rosters — the Saints, Colts, Bears and Steelers — at the start of each decade, beginning in 1970.

The Bears — the brawny, bruising, so-called “Monsters of the Midway” back in the day — didn’t register their first 300pounder until 1990, when The Fridge (at 335) and William Fontenot (300) were on the team.

(They both were on the team earlier, as well, but the study only looked at years ending in “0.”

The weights, in most cases, were what the players weighed in the last year of their career.)

Likewise, the Steelers won all four of their 1970s Super Bowls without a single 300-pounder on the roster. By 1990, they had four.

The Colts and Saints — last year’s Super Bowl teams — combined for 10 players on this year’s preseason roster at 330 pounds or heavier.

According to heights and weights listed on rosters, 97 percent of 2,168 NFL players had body-mass indexes (a for-

AP

mula that considers weight and height) of 25 or greater, which is considered the threshold for the “overweight” category. The BMI is often considered an unfair gauge for NFL players because they lift weights extensively and have naturally large frames.

Still, it’s notable that 56 percent have BMIs of more than 30, which is the threshold for obesity, and 26 percent are at 35 or greater.

It’s a recipe for problems, whether in the midst of a career or after, in a sport that beats up players like no other.

“Your joints are going to be aching,” said Steelers offensive lineman Max Starks, who by almost every account, carries his 345 pounds quite well. “Your joints aren’t going to be able to take all that pressure because they’ve been taking all that abuse from playing the sport, because it is barbaric at times, it’s a grueling sport and you’re going to have injuries.”

There’s no sign of things lightening in the college ranks. Macedonio cited another study that showed a sampling of collegiate offensive lineman averaged 27.4 percent body fat — the healthy range is 8 to 19 percent — and that 69 of 70 players already had at least one condition — high blood pressure, waist circumference of 40 inches or greater — that predicted they would be

susceptible to heart disease later in life.

“There’s no question there are some health risks,” said Dan Wathen, longtime athletic trainer at Youngstown State who remembers the day when a 250-pound player was considered huge.

“It’s manageable when they’re playing. It’s greater when their playing days are over. If they continue with the same caloric consumption, the health risk is going to go up significantly at that point.”

Most of the big players see that day coming. They hear news about Perry — who has been battling a nerve disorder, his weight bouncing between the mid-300s to under 200 at one point, then back up again. And about Newton, who recently had a gastric sleeve put on to shrink the size of his stomach and now bops around at a svelte 250 pounds.

“I keep making a joke around here, I say, ‘I’m getting a surgery,’ ” said Dolphins tackle Vernon Carey, whose weight goes from 335 in season to 360 out of season, talking about his retirement plans.

A notorious victim of fines for being overweight when he played for Jimmy Johnson and the Cowboys in the 1990s, Newton says the biggest he ever got was 411 pounds. He was at an unhealthy 393 pounds as recently as April.

Since the surgery, his waist size has gone from 56 inches to 40. Despite the progress, he is still faced with issues most 48-year-old men don’t face until later in life.

“I didn’t want to die because of fat-related or because I got diabetes or I got high blood pressure,” Newton said. “I don’t want a heart attack because I’m 400something pounds. If I die, let it be something else, not something I can do something about.”

Ride Continued from D1 “People come from all over,” noted Smith, who is a kidney cancer survivor. “This is a big national race. … It’s an eightrace series and they are all over the country and they are mostly back East. This is the only one in the West this year. It drew some of the East Coast folks out.”

Starting and finishing at the sno-park about 15 miles southwest of Bend on Century Drive, the course consisted of three loops of varying distances and terrain. During the rugged 100 miles of riding, there was a total elevation gain of more than 10,500 feet.

“It’s almost all singletrack, so the whole time you’re in focus,” said Smith. “There’s no dirt roads where you’re tooling along and you can eat and drink and not think. There’s lava rocks, there’s drops, there’s roots, there’s insand-outs and trees. There’s all sorts of little gremlins to snatch defeat from victory.”

The mountain bike race was started last year by Mike Ripley, Oregon Bicycle Racing Association director of mountain biking, as a way to raise money for the Central Oregon Trail Alliance (COTA).

“I thought, what a way to create an event to give back to trails and at the same time to encapsulate the best of Oregon riding,” noted Ripley. “Most people ride Phil’s Trail and do recreational.

We wanted to take the riders out to where people don’t go. …

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Ron Miller, 43, races down the trail while participating Saturday morning in the High Cascades 100 endurance mountain bike race.

I wanted to make it more than a race — it’s an experience.”

The event raised $5,000 for COTA and offered a total prize

purse of $2,500 to the top five men and top four women.

“Last year, 78 percent finished,” said Ripley. “I think 75

percent (this year) is probably reasonable.”

The women’s winner was Portland’s Sue Butler, who rare-

ly races endurance distances.

Clocking in at 9:31:33, she was 15th overall.

“I haven’t done one of these

(100-mile races) since 2006,” said Butler, 38, grime caked all over her face and her black-whiteand-green kit. Her dirt-covered, worn expression said it all. “Boy that was tough,” she admitted, as her words trailed off.

Butler rode along with NUE Series leader, Cheryl Sornson, 40, of Fairfield, Pa., for most of the race and picked up the pace around mile 68.

Sornson finished behind Butler with a time of 9:47:06 “Sue’s an awesome climber, and she just got me on the climb and I couldn’t get back to her,” said Sornson. “She rails those downhills and it’s so much fun being on her wheel, because then I can do it. I don’t trust the dust as much as she does.”

The third female finisher was Bend’s Serena Bishop, 31 (10:51:06).

“You don’t know what to expect sometimes,” said Tostado.

“When you do a race that you’ve never done before, it’s the unknown. You don’t know what’s out there. You don’t know what to expect. That’s what’s really fun.”

“I think this race will change perspectives about yourself,” said Ripley. “I’ve had moments where I’ve been so stressed out going to a race and everything became crystal clear: Really, nothing’s that big of a deal. Life is life. This is just the most beautiful place around — Bend — that’s why I’m bringing people here.”

Rice, Smith among greats enshrined at Hall of Fame

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

CANTON, Ohio — Jerry Rice and Emmitt Smith can stop the chase now.

Linked as the NFL’s leading receiver and rusher, two of the greatest players football has seen entered the Hall of Fame on Saturday night. Both admitted their destinies are fulfilled.

“This is finally it,” Rice said.

“There are no more routes to run, no more touchdowns to score, no more records to set. That young boy from Mississippi has finally stopped running.

“Let me stand here and catch my breath.”

An hour later, Smith tried to hold back his tears as he reflected on his unequaled career.

“Most people only dream,” Smith said. “I not only had my childhood dream, I did everything I could to fulfill it.

“You know what, I am now the all-time leading rusher. Wow. What an honor.”

Rice was the man who took away everyone’s breath during an incredible 20 years and was one of seven NFL greats to enter the shrine as the Class of 2010.

It is one of the strongest groups ever inducted, also including John Randle, Dick LeBeau, Rickey Jackson, Russ Grimm and Floyd Little.

Rice holds every important pass-catching record as the game breaker in the West Coast offense for the San Francisco 49ers. In becoming the top target in the pro game’s most dangerous scheme, he established marks that might never be broken.

Rice caught 1,549 passes, more than 400 beyond anyone else. He gained 22,895 yards, more than 7,600 ahead of second place. He scored 208 touchdowns, easily shattering the previous record. He made 10 All-Pro teams, was chosen for 13 Pro Bowls, and made receptions in an almost-unimaginable 274 consecutive games.

Yet, he says, at 47, “I still believe in my heart I could play today.”

Looking as fit as any current All-Pro, Rice admits he made one major mistake during that unparalleled career.

“My single regret about my

NFL: HALL OF FAME career is I never took the time to enjoy it,” he said. “I was always working.

“I was afraid to fail. The fear of failure is the engine that has driven me my entire life. The reason they never caught me from behind is because I ran scared. People always are surprised how insecure I was. The doubts, the struggles, is who I am. I wonder if I would have been as successful without them.”

Rice was successful from Day 1 in the NFL, rising from the obscurity of Mississippi Valley State to win three Super Bowls and change the game forever.

Smith began choking up during a one-minute standing ovation as he stepped to the microphone as the final inductee. He immediately praised Walter Payton, the man he surpassed as rushing king, and recognized the two other Hall of Fame members of the Cowboys’ Triplets, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin.

Smith rushed for 18,355 yards, with 164 touchdowns, 11 seasons with 1,000 or more yards on the ground, and 78 games with 100 yards rushing.

Smith made the hall in his first year of eligibility and won three Super Bowls, taking MVP honors in the 1994 game.

“When I go into the hall today, I am not going in alone,” Smith said. “I am carrying my grandfather, I’m carrying my father and I’m carrying my son along with me because I bear all their names. Now I can say to my dad and my son, EJ, our name will be forever enshrined in the history of football.”

While Rice and Smith were immediate selections for the hall, LeBeau finally was inducted after a 32-year wait.

“Man, this really is a great day to be alive,” said LeBeau, elected by the senior committee.

LeBeau was chosen for his 14year career as a cornerback with the Detroit Lions, in which he had 62 interceptions, still eighth overall. He’s best known as an assistant coach, the mastermind of the zone blitz.

Ron Schwane / The Associated Press

Former San Francisco 49ers player Jerry Rice, left, and former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr., unveil a bust of Rice during his enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, Saturday.

He was immediately followed on the stage by Randle, who as an undrafted defensive tackle with the Vikings and Seahawks accumulated 137½ sacks in 14 seasons, most for anyone at that position.

Randle made six straight AllPro teams (1993-98) and was chosen for seven Pro Bowls. He had a league-high 15½ sacks in 1997.

“I am so humbled by this in-

credible honor which I never thought was possible. I’m a small-town kid whose dream came true.”

Grimm was called the “Head Hog” by former Redskins offen-

sive line coach Joe Bugel. From 1981-91, Grimm led the Hogs and helped the Redskins win three Super Bowls. He is the first member of that memorable line to make the hall.

ROSS DOUTHAT

On the GOP campaign trail (2012’s)

F

or the men (and one rather polarizing woman) who might run for president as Republicans in 2012, now is the wilderness campaign. After the midterms, the struggle for the nomination will move out into open country.

But for the moment, it’s all guerrilla warfare and tactical maneuvering — in the form of Web videos and op-eds, speeches and endorsements, and the occasional public dig at a potential rival.

By definition, in a wilderness campaign it’s hard to tell who’s winning. Are all of the endorsements by Sarah Palin building an army of “Mama Grizzly” Republicans who will rise up for her in 2012? Did Mitch Daniels’ June trip to Washington, during which he managed to irritate both neoconservatives (with talk of defense cuts) and social conservatives (by floating the idea of a social issues “truce”), quiet some of the buzz around the Indiana governor’s candidacy? Was Mitt Romney’s recent op-ed article attacking the New Start treaty a savvy move that burnished his credentials as a critic of the Obama administration’s foreign policy?

Or was it an unforced error, because it annoyed pro-Start foreign policy hands in the Republican establishment?

Matters will become clearer once the midterms pass and campaign officially begins — but maybe not that much clearer. The Republican Party is famous for always nominating the politician whose “turn” it seems to be, and for choking off insurgent candidacies early on. In 2008, though, there was a wild and un-Republican scramble for the nomination, and the original front-runner, John McCain, only emerged as the winner through a series of fortuitous coincidences.

Right now, 2012 looks as if it could be another free-for-fall. In part, that’s because the populist temper is stronger among Republicans than it’s been since the days of Barry Goldwater. But it’s also because the most likely leaders for a populist uprising, Palin and Mike Huckabee, have a more devoted following than most earlier insurgents — and the current “it’s his turn” candidate, Romney, inspires little in the way of actual excitement.

Palin is Palin: if she runs, there’s going to be a constituency that would crawl on broken glass to vote for her, no matter how many soap operas cling to her.

Huckabee, meanwhile, is a chronically underestimated figure who straddles two anti-establishment demographics (the tea parties and the Christian Right), and whose political savvy rivals that of a fellow Arkansan, Bill Clinton.

Neither is exactly brimming over with gravitas. But either one might be able to beat the unloved Romney, his money and organizational muscle notwithstanding.

This prospect gives Republican insiders heartburn. In the salons and bars of conservative Washington, there’s an obvious appetite for a kind of intra-establishment coup, in which Romney is knocked from his perch as the safe, sober choice and a fresher figure takes his place.

One candidate for this role is Daniels: He’s too wonky for some tastes, but he’s a well-connected wonk, with access to the web of power brokers who helped elect George W. Bush. Another is Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who’s beloved of party bigwigs despite seeming like a liberal’s caricature of a Republican — floridly Southern, heavyset and an ex-tobacco lobbyist. There’s also South Dakota Sen. Jon Thune and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, both safe-seeming choices — though Thune doesn’t have much of a record to run on, and lately Pawlenty seems more interested in playing the populist card than in wooing the establishment.

Then, of course, there’s the ultimate insider, Jeb Bush. He has publicly denied having any interest in following his brother to the Oval Office. But he denied it the day after appearing at a fundraiser for Rand Paul, a figure who would normally be anathema to the Bush family — which suggests a man with a strong interest in keeping his political options open.

In a sense, the stronger President Barack Obama looks next year, the better Romney’s chances of being nominated.

He needs the prospect of an uphill general-election battle to keep his potential rivals for establishment support safely on the sidelines. And then he needs that same establishment to rally around him once the primary voting starts — not out of love or admiration, but out of fear of the populist alternative.

Should you be worried?

F

our years ago, Stacy Snyder, then a 25-year-old teacher in training at Conestoga Valley High School in Lancaster, Pa., posted a photo on her MySpace page that showed her at a party wearing a pirate hat and drinking from a plastic cup, with the caption “Drunken Pirate.” After discovering the page, her supervisor at the high school told her the photo was “unprofessional,” and the dean of Millersville University School of Education, where Snyder was enrolled, said she was promoting drinking in virtual view of her underage students.

As a result, days before Snyder’s scheduled graduation, the university denied her a teaching degree. Snyder sued, arguing that the university had violated her First Amendment rights

by penalizing her for her (perfectly legal) after-hours behavior. But in 2008, a federal district judge rejected the claim, saying that because Snyder was a public employee whose photo didn’t relate to matters of public concern, her “Drunken Pirate” post was not protected speech.

When historians of the future look back on the perils of the early digital age, Snyder may well be an icon. The problem she faced is only one example of a challenge that, in big and small ways, is confronting millions of people around the globe: how best to live our lives in a world where the Internet records everything and forgets nothing — where every online photo, status update, Twitter post and blog entry by and about us can be stored forever.

Immigration nightmare

I

t’s almost impossible not to feel sorry for Blanca Catt, a young woman from the Portland area who faces the possibility of deportation through no fault of her own. She’s caught in a bureau-

cratic nightmare that surely state and federal authorities can resolve.

Catt, who’s 19, came to the United States from Mexico as a toddler, smuggled in by her birth mother. When her birth parents abused her, the state of Oregon took custody of the girl, by then 5 years old. She was placed in foster care, then adopted by Lisa Catt and her husband. At the time, they believed Department of Human Services employees would file the paperwork to make Blanca a legal U.S. resident, according to a story in the Oregonian newspaper.

They were wrong, though they did not learn of their error until Catt turned 16 and did what most young teens do: go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to apply for a learner’s permit. Only then did they discover that no paperwork had been filed. Ironically, they found that a child adopted in Mexico by Americans would automatically have become a U.S. citizen, while Catt, a Mexican smuggled into the country and then adopted, did not.

That was three years ago, and Catt and her family have been on pins and needles ever since. Because she has no proper identification, she can’t fly or take a bus or a train. She was forced to miss her senior class trip to Disneyland. She also can’t apply for jobs.

State officials have washed their hands of the whole mess. Catt sued, saying her difficulties stem from their failure to file that paperwork, but the suit was dismissed recently by a Multnomah County Circuit Court judge

who said it was filed too late for action. The state Department of Justice, meanwhile, told the Oregonian that it has no responsibility toward the young woman and hasn’t had any since the day she was adopted.

Legally, that may be true, but there’s more to this than mere legal nicety. There’s the life of a young woman in the balance, a young woman who speaks no Spanish but now can be detained and sent to Mexico by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

If that were to happen, it would be 10 years before she could even ask to come back. Her best hope for resolution is to obtain a U visa that would allow her to stay in the country, possibly lead to permanent resident status and, ultimately, citizenship. The number of U visas issued annually is quite small, however, and in the meantime Catt is at risk of being detained.

What Catt needs now is all the help she can get. The Oregon congressional delegation should get involved, and the state Department of Justice should ease its hands-off attitude to lend a hand. The young woman is no Doitchin Krasev, a man who stole a dead infant’s identity and hid out in this country for years until he was caught this spring. Rather, she’s a girl caught by circumstance who needs the help of Oregonians in high places if she is to stay in the place she has always called home.

Well-paid in Jackson I

f you lived in Jackson County, you’d be paying your commissioners an average of $94,661 each this year.

Worse, commissioners will get a pay raise come January, bringing salaries to just shy of $100,000, according to the Medford Mail Tribune newspaper.

Things are different here. In Deschutes County, commissioners will make $78,000 this year. They’re not guaranteed a raise next year, either.

It may be that governing Jackson County is far more difficult than governing Deschutes County, but we doubt it. True, Jackson is larger, with about 200,000 residents compared with Deschutes County’s roughly 159,000 residents. Population aside, however, commissioners in both counties do roughly the same things. They oversee departments of land use planning and health.

They draw up budgets and hold hearings and listen to citizens complain about one thing or another. In both counties the commissioners’ jobs are full-time, though at least one Jackson County commissioner has maintained a medical practice while on the job, the Medford paper reported.

It may be that Jackson County’s leadership is worth every penny it gets.

Clearly some county residents think so. At least 13 of them entered primary races for two commission seats that will be filled in November, compared with seven for the two openings here.

High pay generates interest, clearly.

Still, one wonders at the wisdom of commissioners so willing to accept so much pay for what they do. Jackson County’s unemployment rate is a bit lower than Deschutes County’s, to be sure, but the difference isn’t great. Nor, we suspect, is the workload. Moreover, commissioner salaries there are up by $16,000 since 2008 compared with just $2,000 here.

Deschutes County may have its difficulties, but salary-mad leadership is not among them. While salaries for elected officials in both counties are set by committees established by law, nothing says commissioners must take every penny they’re offered. We cannot imagine Deschutes County’s governing body doing so. Thank goodness for that.

PV Powered investors lost out

By Bill Muldoon Bulletin guest columnist

A

s an original investor in PV Powered, I have read with great interest, for the most part, glowing Bulletin articles about the firm and the most recent letter by co-founder Gwil Evans (“Energizing PV Powered,” July 22).

My involvement with I N M Y PV Powered began shortly after the October 2004 Investor Fair at the Tower Theatre. PV Powered management gave an impressive presentation touting greater reliability and efficiency than any inverter on the market. PV Powered appeared to be a strong electrical engineering firm lacking marketing experience but with a “better mousetrap.” I invested at a share price of $15. The large majority of individual investors were from Central Oregon.

In the early years of my involvement, 2004- 07, PV Powered revenues grew only modestly in an industry that was booming. Each year the firm met less than half the forecasted sales revenue. Individual investors eventually came to find out that the brand was badly tainted with reliability problems. Warranty and remedial costs soared as PV Powered was losing major money.

In March 2007, a new, aggressive, high-powered management team took control of the company. The team set an extremely ambitious sales projection based on a new generation of inverters. As with previous management, this team never met 50 percent of its stated revenue goals.

Approximately six months later, in the second half of 2007, despite the federal Renewable Energy Tax Credit being hopelessly tied up in Congress, PV Powered received an offer to purchase the firm from a Fortune 500 company. This offer would have, over time, netted original investors three to five times their origiV I E W nal investments. The PV Powered Board of Directors, which controlled a majority of the stock, rejected the deal out of hand without gauging investor sentiment or interest. We were unaware of this offer until after it was rejected. PV Powered management and the board were now going for big bucks.

In 2008, accumulating huge losses, with the tax legislation still in limbo, private placement efforts failing and no reasonable hope for additional bank financing, PV Powered turned to the last resort, venture capital financing.

At the 2008 annual stockholders meeting, investors were told by PV Powered management that we could expect multiple offers in the range of $30-$40 per share. Although this sounded great, intuitively this made no sense as a recent private placement offering had failed at less than $10 per share. Six months later, one offer for $1 per share materialized.

PV Powered management had been led like lambs to slaughter.

Enter Evans Holdings, which in 2009 rescued the company with numerous cash infusions, the most recent of which was for 1 cent per share.

Knowing that only one in six startup companies succeeds, I went into this investment fully aware of the risk. However, even firms in an industry that survives primarily from subsidies via tax incentives requires sound management.

Evans was now the majority stockholder, and the original investors’ stock is virtually worthless.

Advanced Energy has now purchased PV Powered. Evans Holdings has made millions for its risky but relatively short-term involvement.

Knowing that only one in six startup companies succeeds, I went into this investment fully aware of the risk.

However, even firms in an industry that survives primarily from subsidies via tax incentives requires sound management. PV Powered leadership was, in my opinion, nothing short of naïve, arrogant and lacking competence. But that being said, those leaders have retained their employment.

Evans concludes his letter by stating that everyone involved with PV Powered should be proud of this outcome. Really?

Bill Muldoon lives in Bend.

The decline of the romantic comedy is a national tragedy WASHINGTON — got an e-mail from Sam Wasson, the 28-year-old author of “Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M.,” the best-seller about the making of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” thanking me for mentioning the book.

I’ve never met Wasson, a film student turned film writer hailed by The New Yorker as “a fabulous social historian.”

But within seconds, after I told him that I loved the bit in his book about the onscreen/off-screen chemistry of Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney in the incandescent “Two for the Road,” we were madly e-mailing back and forth on a subject of mutual obsession and depression: Why romantic comedies now reek.

Here’s our exchange: Me: “How did we get from ‘Two for the Road’ to ‘The Bounty Hunter’ and ‘He’s Just Not That Into You?’ ” Sam: “This is the question I ask myself every morning and keep asking all day, and annoy all my friends and lovers with.

Every time I see Jennifer Aniston’s or Jennifer Garner’s face I wince. Basically, every time I see someone named Jennifer.

I

They say the problem is teenage boys and girls, that they drive the marketplace. But I say they only drive the marketplace because there’s nothing out there for grownups to see. Apropos, I can’t remember the last time I saw two people really falling in love in a movie. Now all we get is the meet cute, a montage, a kiss, then acoustic song into fade out. Nothing experiential, only movies manufactured from movies.

Apparently, there was once a time when Jill Clayburgh danced around in her underwear. She laughed, she cried, she hurt, but it seems like a legend that never happened. Now we have ‘The Bounty (Hunter)’ and I don’t know what to do on Friday nights. Are you sorry you asked?”

Me: “Why can’t studios and stars find witty writers to go beyond bridesmaid dress movies?”

Sam: “I am not joking when I say that because there is nothing to see (especially, and tragically, in romantic comedy), my girlfriend and I have had to stay home and in some cases fight. If there were better movies out there, I am sure so many relationship disasters may have been

MAUREEN DOWD averted. Also, romantic comedies, the good ones, taught me how to love, or at least instructed me on how to try. If I were falling in love now for the first time and going to see this garbage thinking this was real, I would be in deep (expletive). It was only after I saw ‘Annie Hall’ as a wee Jew that I realized what it was to be a person in love. It has been a touchstone ever since. Back in the days of one-foot-on-thefloor, wit was the best (and only) way to talk about sex. Wit was — this is incredible — commercial. Even something as ridiculous as ‘Pillow Talk’ winks at you.

If people only realized that Paramount in the ’30s and ’40s was the golden age of American wit. Algonquin Round Table, eat your black hearts out. The question is,

will there be a backlash? A renaissance?

I don’t think people realize how dire the situation is. I mean culturally, emotionally, the whole idea of romance is gone, gone, gone. … And I don’t care how good the novelist, I’ve never read anything that touches Kate Hepburn and Cary Grant in ‘Bringing Up Baby.’ Is it too early to drink?”

Me: “Where are new Sturgeses and Lubitsches?”

Sam: “When ‘Up in the Air’ (which I actually liked) came out last year, people were calling Jason Reitman the new Preston Sturges. What they meant was Reitman respects language. He is interested in the vernacular, like Sturges was.

The major difference is that Sturges invented a dialect all his own, one that really sang with American pluck. But that the comparison was ever made goes to show you how desperate (certain) people are for real romantic comedy. If the bar were any lower, they’d be calling James Cameron the next Sturges. As for Lubitsch, there will never, ever, ever be another. Ever. A guy like that comes around

once in a universe. Proof is that even Billy Wilder, whose motto was ‘What would Lubitsch do?,’ tried but never came close.”

Me: “With so many women running studios, you’d think they’d focus on making better rom-coms.”

Sam: “Even the studios that are run by women aren’t run by women. They’re run by corporations, which are run by franchises. Unfortunately for us, Jennifer Aniston is a franchise. So is Katherine Heigl and Gerard Whatever-his-name-is, and even when their movies bomb, their franchise potential isn’t compromised because overseas markets, DVD sales and cable earn all the studio’s money back.

I’m told that ‘Knight and Day,’ that awful Cruise/Diaz movie, has already been good for Fox for exactly this reason. The worst part of it is, from Hollywood’s point of view, it ain’t broke. I never thought I’d say this, but thank God for TV. OK, now I am drinking.”

O Passel of immigration paradoxes S

ome 11 million to 15 million illegal aliens are now residing in America, most after crossing into America unlawfully. Once a federal law is arbitrarily not enforced, all sorts of bizarre paradoxes arise from that original contradiction. As proof, examine the following illogical policies and contradictions involving illegal immigration.

Take, for example, profiling — the controversial questioning of those who appear likely to be illegal aliens.

Apparently, American border guards have developed criteria for profiling those deemed likely to be unlawful aliens. Otherwise, how would they have arrested and deported hundreds of thousands in 2009?

Yet apparently, at some arbitrary point distant from the border, those who cross illegally are not supposed to be asked about their immigration status. OK, but exactly why did procedures so radically change at, say, five, 10, 20, or is it 100 miles from the border? A border patrolman often profiles, but a nearby highway patrolman cannot?

The federal government is suing Arizona over the state’s efforts to enforce the federal immigration law. The lawsuit alleges that Arizona is too zealous both in enforcing immigration law and encroaching on federal jurisdiction.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON But wait — for years, several American cities have declared themselves sanctuary cities. City officials have even bragged that they would not allow their municipalities to enforce federal immigration statutes. So why does Washington sue a state that seeks to enhance federal immigration laws and yet ignore cities that blatantly try to erode them?

Something is going very wrong in Mexico to prompt more than half a million of its citizens to cross the border illegally each year. Impoverished Mexican nationals variously cite poor economic conditions back home, government corruption, a lack of social services, and racism. In other words, it is not just the desirability of America but also the perceived undesirability of Mexico that explains one of largest mass exoduses in modern history.

But why, then, would Mexican President Felipe Calderón, whose country’s conditions are forcing out its own citizens, criticize the United States,

which is receiving so many of them?

And why, for that matter, would many of those illegal immigrants identify, if only symbolically, with the country that made them leave, whether by waving its flag or criticizing the attitudes of the Americans who took them in?

And how does Mexico treat the hundreds of thousands of aliens who seek to illegally cross its own southern border with Central America each year?

Does Mexico believe in sovereign borders to its south but not to its north?

Is Mexico more or less humane to illegal aliens than the country it so often faults? Why, exactly, does Mexico believe that nearly a million of its own nationals annually have claims on American residency, when Chinese, Indian, European and African wouldbe immigrants are deemed not to? Is the reason proximity? History?

Proponents of open borders have organized May Day rallies, staged boycotts of Arizona, sued in federal and state courts, and sought to portray those who want to enforce existing federal immigration law as racially insensitive. But about 70 percent of Americans support securing our borders, and support the Arizona law in particular.

Are a clear majority of Americans racist, brainwashed or deluded in believing that their laws should be enforced?

And if so, why would immigrants wish

to join them?

It is considered liberal to support open borders and reactionary to want to close them. But illegal immigration drives down the hourly wages of the working American poor. Tens of thousands of impoverished people abroad, from Africa to Asia, wait patiently to enter America legally, while hundreds of thousands from Latin America do not. How liberal can all that be?

America extends housing, food and education subsidies to illegal aliens in need. But Mexico receives more than $20 billion in American remittances a year — its second-highest source of foreign exchange, and almost of it from its own nationals living in the United States. Are Americans then subsidizing the Mexican government by extending social services to aliens, freeing up cash for them to send back home?

These baffling questions are rarely posed, never addressed and often considered politically incorrect. But they will only be asked more frequently in the months ahead.

You see, once a law is not considered quite a law, all sorts of even stranger paradoxes follow.

be repeated anytime soon.”

Two days after the passage of financial reform, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid threw in the towel on energy legislation. “And so,” Packer said, “climate change joined immigration, job creation, food safety, pilot training, veterans’ care, campaign finance, transportation security, labor law, mine safety, wildfire management, and scores of executive and judicial appointments on the list of matters that the world’s greatest deliberative body is incapable of addressing.”

Is this too harsh? Regrettably, no.

ate in both parties are giving voice to the frustration they feel with what the Senate has become. If their ranks are reinforced by this November’s election, and if they start talking to each other and realize how widely shared their feelings of dissatisfaction are, perhaps the change could bubble up from within.

But it would be so much easier if there were leaders ready to lead. And the danger is that if this doesn’t happen soon, no one in the Senate may remember what it has been at its best.

And here is a fight Obama should welcome

By Jonathan Alter Newsweek Magazine

O

ne of the annoyances of being president is that nearly everything is depicted as a “huge test” to pass or fail. The president’s commitment to core values or his ideological fidelity or his political survival — something momentous is always “on the line.” In truth, American presidents have multiple marking periods.

They can flunk and flunk again and still succeed if they get the big things right.

So Obama will eventually recover if he decides not to appoint Elizabeth Warren to head the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which is the best-known part of the new financial-regulation law. But he would be making a terrible mistake to reject her, on both political and substantive grounds.

The working assumption in the White House is that Warren, a colorful Harvard Law professor and fierce consumer advocate, would be the hardest candidate to confirm. This is 100 percent wrong. The main alternative is Michael Barr, a well-regarded but little-known Treasury official who helped draft the bill. Barr is just as progressive as Warren, but the liberal base would be so demoralized

by Obama snubbing Warren that any other nominee would be hamstrung from the start. And he is exactly the type of Obama nominee that Republicans on Capitol Hill have been bury-

ing all year. Because he’s obscure, the GOP could delay Barr’s nomination for months without fear of fallout.

Warren’s high profile gives her clout going into any hearings. Democrats who try to block her would be savaged by progressives in their home states.

(Warren has become a rock star for the Netroots.) After some concern about wavering Democrats, all except possibly Ben Nelson seem set to back Warren, who may not be a household name but has considerable stature within the party.

Republican senators vote along party lines against Obama on almost every issue this side of Afghanistan.

Having opposed the consumer bureau, the leadership will do everything it can to weaken it, including opposing Warren. But this particular obstructionism carries a price. The GOP would look horrible going into the fall campaign trashing the one official who has stood up for 200 million credit-card holders against predatory lenders. A few Republican senators (including Snowe, Collins and Grassley) know this and seem willing to break ranks and oppose a filibuster.

Several conservatives have good relationships with Warren, in part because she’s been critical of the Obama administration on banking regulation and foreclosure relief, which is part of her job as chair of the congressional oversight panel on the bailouts. Barr, by contrast, would be immediately (if unfairly) savaged as

(Elizabeth) Warren would make the (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) the “hot” agency — the people’s bureau — which might even help the president restore at least a little faith in the government’s ability to look out for average Americans.

Tim Geithner’s lackey.

Warren’s fierce independence is exactly what makes the control freaks in the White House uncomfortable. Their doubts about her can be traced to the same economic boys club that sniped at FDIC chief Sheila Bair and more recently blocked Laura Tyson, the top economist in the Clinton administration, from being the new head of the Office of Management and Budget.

Geithner and Larry Summers aren’t condescending to Warren (anymore), but they prefer other candidates.

Their friend Rahm Emanuel is privately worried about her confirmability. Man up, Rahm. If a big fight over Warren comes (and I doubt it will), the battle won’t be a distraction from the Democrats’ fall campaign but the best thing that ever happened to it.

Should Obama bypass Warren,

T

he’ll be savaged by his liberal base for days — a huge August distraction from other priorities. It’ll be the public option on health care times 10. The White House assertion in 2009 that the votes weren’t there in the Senate for a public option didn’t satisfy liberals, but at least it had the benefit of being true. The big question for Obama is how he wants his landmark financial bill to be remembered. If he hopes to imprint it on the national consciousness, the choice is clear.

Warren would be like Dr. C. Everett Koop as surgeon general or Dr. David Kessler at the FDA — personifying the message and driving change.

So far, with the exception of Hillary Clinton, Obama has avoided hiring other big players. The president’s not a ball hog on the basketball court, but he’s been one on TV. He needs someone like Warren who breaks through.

And Warren would make the CFPB the “hot” agency — the people’s bureau — which might even help the president restore at least a little faith in the government’s ability to look out for average Americans.

I’m fairly confident Obama will make the right call. “You guys are missing the fundamental point,” he told staffers in late 2008 when they objected to his naming Clinton as secretary of state. “She’s the most qualified candidate.” So is Elizabeth Warren.

Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and historian at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.

DAVID BRODER body but as a deliberately minuscule assemblage, capable of taking up the most serious national challenges and dealing with them appropriately, because of the perspective and insulation provided by its lengthy terms and diverse constituencies.

Its best leaders have been men who were capable, at least on occasion, of rising above partisanship or parochial interest and summoning the will to tackle overriding challenges in a way that almost shamed their colleagues out of their small-mindedness.

Many forces — from the money chase to the party realignments to the intrusiveness of 24-hour news media — have weakened the institutional bonds of that Senate. But it is the absence of the ethic embodied and enforced by its leaders that is most crippling.

In the end, Packer reports, “the two lasting achievements of this Senate, financial regulation and health care, required a year and a half of legislative warfare that nearly destroyed the body. They depended on a set of circumstances — a large majority of Democrats, a charismatic president with an electoral mandate, and a national crisis — that will not last long or

Ground Zero mosque is a good thing here are several reasons why I don’t object to a mosque being built near the World Trade Center site, but the key reason is my affection for Broadway show tunes.

Let me explain. A couple of weeks ago, President Barack Obama and his wife held “A Broadway Celebration: In Performance at the White House,” a concert in the East Room by some of Broadway’s biggest names, singing some of Broadway’s most famous hits. Because my wife is on the board of the public TV station that organized the evening, WETA, I got to attend, but all I could think of was: I wish the whole country were here.

It wasn’t just the great performances of Audra McDonald, Nathan Lane, Idina Menzel, Elaine Stritch, Karen Olivo, Tonya Pinkins, Brian d’Arcy James, Marvin Hamlisch and Chad Kimball, or the spirited gyrations of the students from the Joy of Motion Dance Center and the Duke Ellington School of the Arts performing “You Can’t Stop the Beat” — it was the whole big, rich stew. AfricanAmerican singers and Hispanic-American dancers belting out the words of Jewish and Irish immigrant composers, accompanied by white musicians whose great-great-grandparents came over on the Mayflower for all I know — all performing for America’s first black president whose middle name is Hussein.

We live in an age when the most valuable asset any economy can have is the ability to be creative — to spark and imagine new ideas, be they Broadway tunes, great books, iPads or new cancer drugs. And where does creativity come from?

I like the way Newsweek described it in a recent essay on creativity: “To be creative requires divergent thinking (generating many unique ideas) and then convergent thinking (combining those ideas into the best result).”

And where does divergent thinking come from? It comes from being exposed to divergent ideas and cultures and people and intellectual disciplines. As Marc Tucker, president of the National Center on Education and the Economy, once put it to me: “One thing we know about creativity is that it typically occurs when people who have mastered two or more quite different fields use the framework in one to think afresh about the other. Intuitively, you know this is true. Leonardo da Vinci was a great artist, scientist and inventor, and each specialty nourished the other. He was a great lateral thinker.

But if you spend your whole life in one silo, you will never have either the knowledge or mental agility to do the synthesis, connect the dots, which is usually where the next great breakthrough is found.”

Which brings me back to the Muslim community center/mosque, known as Park51. It is proposed to be built two blocks north of where the twin towers stood and would include a prayer space, a 500-seat performing arts center, a swimming pool and a restaurant. The Times reported that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Muslim leader behind the project, who has led services in TriBeCa since 1983, said he wanted the center to help “bridge and heal a divide” among Muslims and other religious groups. “We have condemned the actions of 9/11,” he said.

I greatly respect the feelings of those who lost loved ones on 9/11— which was perpetrated in the name of Islam — and who oppose this project. Personally, if I had $100 million to build a mosque that promotes interfaith tolerance, I would not build it in Manhattan. I’d build it in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.

That resistance to diversity, though, is not something we want to emulate, which is why I’m glad the mosque was approved this week. Countries that choke themselves off from exposure to different cultures, faiths and ideas will never invent the next Google or a cancer cure, let alone export a musical or body of literature that would bring enjoyment to children everywhere.

When we tell the world, “Yes, we are a country that will even tolerate a mosque near the site of 9/11,” we send such a powerful message of inclusion and openness.

It is shocking to other nations. But you never know who out there is hearing that message and saying: “What a remarkable country! I want to live in that melting pot, even if I have to build a boat from milk cartons to get there.” As long as that happens, Silicon Valley will be Silicon Valley, Hollywood will be Hollywood, Broadway will be Broadway, and America, if we ever get our politics and schools fixed, will be OK.

Why the Senate has gone to seed WASHINGTON — arlier last week, as the United States Senate went through the motions of debating Elena Kagan’s nomination to a Supreme Court seat that almost certainly would be hers, readers of The New Yorker across the country could review journalist George Packer’s masterful article “The Empty Chamber,” tracing the decline and fall of that same Senate.

Packer shares with thousands of citizens what every reporter who covers the Capitol knows: that the public disdain for Congress, measured in record low approval scores in polls, is mirrored by the frustration of the members of both parties who have to serve and bear the scorn.

I heard it over lunch one day last week from a conservative Republican senator with three years of seniority.

He was bitterly disappointed that he did not find the collegial, challenging body that his predecessor had described to him — or the cross-party friendship that Vice President Joe Biden had told him he once enjoyed in his travels with a Republican counterpart from the senator’s own state.

Packer does as good a job as I have ever read of tracing the forces that have brought the Senate to its current low estate. But he does not quite pinpoint the crucial factor: the absence of leaders who embody and can inculcate the institutional pride that once was the hallmark of membership in the Senate.

The Senate was designed not as a representative, small-d democratic

By Lori Kozlowski Los Angeles Times

“There’s a regular rhythm to waves that calms us,” says British author Gavin Pretor-Pinney, explaining how he came to be fascinated by the science behind the movement of the ocean. In “The Wave Watcher’s Companion: From Ocean Waves to Light Waves via Shock Waves, Stadium Waves, and All the Rest of Life’s Undulations,” he stares down the physics behind waves of all stripes (Penguin Books, July 2010).

The quaint book is part hard science, part friendly explanation. Pretor-Pinney talked with the Los Angeles Times about waves of sea and sand, the stopand-go waves of vehicular traffic, and more.

Q. A.

You write, “There’s no such thing as a wave-free sea.”

Can you explain?

There’s always movement in the sea, even if there is no wind.

As wind blows over the surface of the water, it causes tiny ripples, less than an inch in height, that roughen the surface, increasing the friction between wind and water, giving it more purchase and helping it lift the surface.

In this way, the wind’s energy is transferred to the water.

The stronger the wind, the greater the area over which it blows and the longer its duration, the higher the waves will grow. But when the storm dissipates and the wind dies down, the waves that it caused roll on of their own accord. The train of waves is known as a swell, and can travel over huge distances.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the great oceanographer Walter Munk measured how far ocean waves travel from the storm that created them. He found that waves created in storms off Antarctica could be tracked right up through the Pacific to the coast of Alaska. It took about two weeks for them to make this epic 7,000mile journey, at the end of which they were far too feeble to be detected by anything but the most sensitive recording equipment.

Q. A.

What are the three forms of waves?

The three kinds of waves are transverse, longitudinal and torsional waves. It kind of worried me that these sound sort of dull. So I described these waves as animals.

A transverse wave is sort of

like the serpentine movements of a snake. When you send a wave down the length of your garden hose to unhitch it from the fence post, you are creating a snake wave — sorry, a transverse wave.

A longitudinal wave is more like the way an earthworm moves. The worm grips the earth around it by bunching up its body to make it thicker and sending the muscular contraction down its length to propel it forward through the ground. Here the movements of the worm are not from side to side but forward and backward. Sound waves are examples of longitudinal waves.

The sound from a speaker travels towards you on account of the air molecules vibrating forwards and backwards to produce traveling regions of higher and lower air pressure.

Torsional waves move in a twisting motion. You don’t tend to come across torsional waves much — not unless you work in the drilling industry. Nor do you come across many animals that use torsional waves to get around. In fact, I found it impossible to come up with any animal at all.

The dunes of the “sand seas” of the Sahara certainly look like waves, and they even travel along gradually in the wind. But I soon found out from an aeolian geomorphologist — a dune expert, to you and me — that they result from fundamentally different physical processes than actual waves.

another. Some of it changes into the crashing sound of the waves — and sound is a form of wave, isn’t it? Some of it travels on through the ground as vibrations — which are known as ‘microseisms’ and are like mini seismic waves. And some ends up heating up the water and shore slightly. This heat, too, travels on as waves — infrared waves. It was a huge revelation for me to realize that ocean wave energy just keeps on traveling as other types of waves.

Q. A.

Q. A.

Q. A.

What are sand waves?

Talk about your trip to Hawaii.

The main reason for writing the book was to go on vacation — sorry, I mean on a research trip — to Hawaii. The swells there arrive unimpeded from the winter storms tracking across the North Pacific. I was transfixed by the immense power and beauty of the breakers along the North Shore. There, more than anywhere, you get a true understanding of the energy that waves can contain.

When the ocean swells reach the lava reefs, bunching up into peaks and peeling forwards into an explosion of white water, you can feel the energy that originated from the storm as it is finally released. This energy doesn’t disappear — energy can only change from one form to

Inside theatrical boot camp for alienated young artists “Theater Geek: The Real Life Drama of a Summer at Stagedoor Manor, the Famous Performing Arts Camp”

by Mickey Rapkin (Free Press, 220 pgs., $25)

By Linda Winer Newsday

The temptation is to fill this entire space with lists of the famous alumni (or the unknown alumni with famous parents) from Stagedoor Manor, the theater summer camp in the Catskills.

In 1976, Robert Downey Jr. was Mr. Dussel in the attic in “The Diary of Anne Frank.” The next year, campers watched Jennifer Jason Leigh limping through the cafeteria in preparation for her Laura in “The Glass Menagerie.” Natalie Portman was Sally Bowles in a 1995 “Cabaret,” and, in 2000, a teen named Lea Michele had to leave camp early to do a workshop of a little show called “Spring Awakening.”

(Michele, now an Emmy-nominated star of “Glee,” never was picked for a lead role at camp.)

You see? As Second City has been to post-adolescent comedy, Stagedoor Manor has been a seedling ground for the future thespians of America.

But as Mickey Rapkin breezily recounts in “Theater Geek,” the summer camp in the Catskills has also been an oasis, a hoot and an escape — “Oz, Neverland, Hogwarts” for any arts-loving young-

Brandon Ramirez, 11, faces waves breaking in Venice Beach, Calif. Author Gavin Pretor-Pinney examines the ups and downs of waves in “The Wave Watcher’s Companion: From Ocean Waves to Light Waves via Shock Waves, Stadium Waves, and All the Rest of Life’s Undulations.”

ster who, “for whatever reason, feels other than.” Rapkin, a senior editor at GQ and self-described theater geek, lined the walls of his bedroom wall with Playbills in his childhood in Bellmore. And, though he had friends, there were “almost none I could talk to about crying at ‘Les Miserables.’ ” In other words, he is an ideal guide through the mystique, missteps and mischief at a theaterobsessed boot camp where, as Zach Braff’s father used to say, “You don’t need to bring a mitt.” Last summer, Rapkin spent three weeks at the summer stock for kids, created in 1975 in the foreclosed Karmel Hotel in Loch Sheldrake, N.Y. In that brief time, campers aged 10 to 18 put on 13 musicals — including a six-show Stephen Sondheim festival. As Rapkin (sort of) jokes, the camp’s motto is “Learn by doing grown-up (and, some may say), age-inappropriate material.” He follows three talented seniors in their final roles before being cast out into the extreme vagaries of college and career.

Rapkin worries about the future, as “American Idol” strengthens “its death grip on pop culture, teaching kids that fame and fortune were not just imminent, but somehow owed to them.” Despite the concern, the spirit of the book lies more in alum Mandy Moore saying, wistfully, “I wish they had Stagedoor for adults.” Hey, who doesn’t?

What about stadium waves?

We all love performing The Wave — especially

when there is not much going on on the pitch. But I was intrigued to learn that a Hungarian professor had made two studies into the science of stadium waves. He told me that the critical number of people needed to get a wave started is 25. Also, the waves typically travel around the stadiums at 27 mph.

Q. A.

Let’s talk about traffic.

Professor Yuki Sugiyama (who runs the Mathematical Society of Traffic Flow at Japan’s Nagoya University) demonstrated that traffic jams can be a sort of wave — known as a “stop-and-go-wave.” Like

stadium waves, these are not like the usual sort of waves that physicists study. But they do appear like a sort of density wave within the flow of traffic as cars join the jam at the back and others pull away at the front.

Sugiyama found that the critical number of cars on the road (for these waves to form) is 40 per mile.

When the weight of traffic is more than this, the flow becomes “unstable” and the natural fluctuation in our driving style is enough to cause these waves to start up. No obstruction is needed — it is just a matter of time before a traffic wave will form.

Touching, powerful seaside tale “The Hous e On Salt Hay Road”

by Carin Clevidence (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 285 pgs., $25)

By Tom Beer Newsday

Brigitte Lacombe / Random House

Gary Shteyngart’s latest book, “Super Sad True Love Story,” features a less attractive, less successful version of himself.

Schlubby hero gets vixen in dystopian (and haunting) story

By Craig Seligman Bloomberg News

A down-at-the-heels United States badly in hock to China; a trigger-happy “bipartisan” administration that herds its low-net-worth individuals out of affluent city centers and, on occasion, shoots them; a culture of subliterate, sexually shameless young people who live attached to their smart phones and look upon books as stinky artifacts of the past.

The future, or now?

Although Gary Shteyngart sets his dystopian comedy “Super Sad True Love Story” (Random House, $26) a decade or so hence, what he’s really exercised about is the present — or, more precisely, the recent past, since the America he lays into looks more like Bush’s than Obama’s.

(The country the U.S. has recently invaded in the book is, plausibly, Venezuela.)

As in Shteyngart’s other books, the protagonist is a less attractive, less successful version of the author. Lenny Abramov, the schlubby, pudgy, middle-aged son of poor Russian immigrants, has a job reeling in high-networth individuals (HNWIs) for a costly immortality procedure. It appears to be going south.

Lenny’s super sad love story grows out of his super inappropriate fixation on an 86-pound, 24-year-old Korean-American airhead named Eunice Park.

That Lenny’s heart shatters the first time he lays eyes on her doesn’t suggest his attraction is based on the quality of her mind — and Eunice’s mind is hardly her best feature. His true love looks more like a high school crush.

What draws Eunice to Lenny is harder to make out, since he has so few attractive qualities of mind or body. She ventures this explanation: “I know he’s gross physically, but there’s something sweet about him, and honestly I need to be taken care of too. I feel safe with him because he is so not my ideal and I feel like I can be myself.”

File that one under “Fantasies of the Middle-Aged Male.” The

same dream of the sweet young thing charmed by a brokendown wreck fueled last year’s movie “Crazy Heart”; I didn’t buy it there, either, but at least the wreck was played by Jeff Bridges.

Yet Lenny, for all his weakness, is clearly meant to be the novel’s hero. He represents feeling, kindness, liberal decency and — most important — literacy. Eunice tells a friend what it was like to happen upon him with a book in his hands: “I was so embarrassed I just stood there and watched him read which lasted for like HALF AN HOUR, and finally he put the book down and I pretended like nothing happened. And then I snuck a peek and it was that Russian guy Tolstoy. ...”

As that passage demonstrates, subtlety of touch isn’t Shteyngart’s greatest gift. Neither is consistency of tone: He gives vent, alternately, to a satirist’s spleen and a heart of mush. The split personality is characteristic.

His 2002 debut, “The Russian Debutante’s Handbook,” was a larcenous romp that ended on a strangely mawkish note. Though the 2006 “Absurdistan” showed more rigor, it still suffered from the chasm between satire and sentiment, which has widened — fatally — in the new book.

On the one hand, I had the sensation of an angry, frustrated New Yorker poking his finger into my chest as he enumerated his beefs. I didn’t laugh, but if you’re curious you can check out the novel’s insidery trailer (with the likes of Edmund White, Mary Gaitskill and James Franco trying to keep a straight face) on YouTube; if you find it hilarious, this book is for you.

On the other, I winced at the schmaltziness of the romance — and the childishness. Any dystopian love story has a ghost looking over its shoulder by the name of “1984.” Orwell’s masterpiece offers complexities of political analysis that Shteyngart (perhaps wisely) doesn’t attempt.

More to the point, there’s nothing adolescent about its love story. Its betrayals are hauntingly adult.

‘Viognier Vendetta’ is vintage Ellen Crosby “The Viognier Vendetta”

by Ellen Crosby (Scribner, 272 pgs., $24)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

Don’t be surprised while reading “The Viognier Vendetta” that you begin to crave a smooth glass of viognier, an expensive French wine that Virginia vintner Lucie Montgomery is trying to cultivate. While viognier has been around for generations in Europe, it’s fairly new to the U.S. because the grape variety is difficult to grow, explains Lucie, who is making her fifth appearance in Ellen Crosby’s highly entertaining series.

The only difficulty that readers will have with “The Viognier Vendetta” is taking time from the brisk plot to open a bottle of wine. “The Viognier Vendetta” works well as an amateur sleuth novel that also explores the value of friendship, independence and wine lore.

Lucie hasn’t heard from her old college friend Rebecca Natale for more than a dozen years.

Now Rebecca’s in Washington, D.C., for a black-tie gala honoring her boss, the wealthy tycoon Sir Thomas Asher. But shortly after lunch with Lucie, Rebecca disappears while on her way to pick up a priceless antique wine cooler that dates back to the War of 1812. Rebecca’s clothes are later found near a Potomac boat house.

To find out what happened to her friend, Lucie joins forces with an investment analyst who has a grudge against Sir Thomas.

Crosby packs many plot threads in “The Viognier Vendetta,” from D.C.’s history, culture and politics to business schemes.

A primer in making wine adds to the novel’s authenticity. Yet “The Viognier Vendetta” feels as light and crisp as the wine Lucie produces on her Montgomery Estate Vineyard. Much of that is due to the likable Lucie, a resourceful woman who has overcome a debilitating injury and taken over her family’s failing vineyard to make it a thriving business with a future.

“The Viognier Vendetta” proves to be a fine vintage.

Here’s a different sort of beach read.

“The House on Salt Hay Road,” set on Long Island’s Great South Bay during the late 1930s, isn’t the sort of breezy, featherweight entertainment we typically associate with the beach. But this lovely first novel by Carin Clevidence, who spent childhood summers at her grandparents’ house on Long Island, captures the feel of life, both natural and human, along the coast in the days before suburban sprawl. Reading it, you can almost taste the clean, salty air of the South Shore.

“The House on Salt Hay Road”

centers on a small, fractured family in the fictional town of Fire Neck whose members each nurse private griefs: two orphaned children who have come to live with their mother’s relations, a middle-aged aunt abandoned years earlier by a deceitful husband, a bachelor uncle whose boyhood love was killed in an automobile accident on the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut, a grandfather who spent his life rescuing people at sea and is still haunted by the ones who drowned.

The story begins in 1937, when an explosion at the local fireworks factory disrupts life in Fire Neck. Twelve-year-old Clayton Poole imagines that the “Huns” have bombed Long Island. His

grandfather, Scudder, is awakened by the noise that sounds to his ears like a ship run aground.

Clayton’s 19-year-old sister, Nancy, races on horseback to the lodge where their Aunt Mavis works as a domestic, and there meets a young stranger from Boston.

Yes, romance does ensue.

But that romance — though it does set in motion the novel’s minimal plot — isn’t exactly the point. Clevidence is more concerned with charting the geography of this unspoiled setting, the Great South Bay, at this moment before everything changed, as well as the emotional geographies of her characters.

Clevidence’s prose is, like the place she writes about, simple

and precise. Here she describes the bay as Clay sees it, after taking a job as a “scapper” — scooping crabs out of the water with a net — aboard a fishing boat: “The sun had come out from behind the clouds and the water shone. Out on the bay a white powerboat touched its reflection as it bounced along. The hull and its image met and parted, met and parted, cutting the water like a pair of shears.”

Human desires and longings are dwarfed by the capriciousness and the power of nature.

The novel’s climax — and its most dramatic set piece — is the Great Hurricane of 1938, which catches this little community unawares, inflicting extraordinary damage.

“The House on Salt Hay Road” is an evocation of, and an elegy for, that bygone way of life.

F6 Sunday, August 8, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Internet Continued from F1 With websites like LOL Facebook Moments, which collects and shares embarrassing personal revelations from Facebook users, ill-advised photos and online chatter are coming back to haunt people months or years after the fact. Examples are proliferating daily: There was the 16-year-old British girl who was fired from her office job for complaining on Facebook, “I’m so totally bored!!”; there was the 66year-old Canadian psychotherapist who tried to enter the United States but was turned away at the border — and barred permanently from visiting the country — after a border guard’s Internet search found that the therapist had written an article in a philosophy journal describing his experiments 30 years ago with LSD.

Always on the Web According to a recent survey

by Microsoft, 75 percent of U.S. recruiters and human resource professionals report that their companies require them to do online research about candidates, and many use a range of sites when scrutinizing applicants — including search engines, social-networking sites, photo- and video-sharing sites, personal websites and blogs, Twitter and online-gaming sites.

Seventy percent of U.S. recruiters report that they have rejected candidates because of information found online, like photos and discussion-board conversations and membership in controversial groups.

Technological advances, of course, have often presented new threats to privacy. In 1890, in perhaps the most famous article on privacy ever written, Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis complained that because of new technology — like the Kodak camera and the tabloid press — “gossip is no longer the resource of the idle and of the vicious but has become a trade.”

But the mild society gossip of the Gilded Age pales before the volume of revelations contained in the photos, video and chatter on social-media sites and elsewhere across the Internet.

Facebook, which surpassed MySpace in 2008 as the largest social-networking site, now has nearly 500 million members, or 22 percent of all Internet users, who spend more than 500 billion minutes a month on the site.

Facebook users share more than 25 billion pieces of content each month (including news stories, blog posts and photos), and the average user creates 70 pieces of content a month. There are more than 100 million registered Twitter users, and the Library of Congress recently announced that it will be acquiring — and permanently storing — the entire archive of public Twitter posts since 2006.

In Brandeis’ day — and until recently, in ours — you had to be a celebrity to be gossiped about in public; today all of us are learning to expect the scrutiny that used to be reserved for the famous and the infamous. A 26-year-old Manhattan woman told The New York Times that she was afraid of being tagged in online photos because it might reveal that she wears only two outfits when out on the town — a Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt or a basic black dress. “You have moviestar issues,” she said, “and you’re just a person.”

We’ve known for years that the Web allows for unprecedented voyeurism, exhibitionism and inadvertent indiscretion, but we are only beginning to understand the costs of an age in which so much of what we say, and of what others say about us, goes into our permanent — and public — digital files. The fact that the Internet never seems to forget is threatening, at an almost existential level, our ability to control our identities; to preserve the option of reinventing ourselves and starting anew; to overcome our checkered pasts.

In a recent book, “Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age,” the cyberscholar Viktor Mayer-Schönberger cites Snyder’s case as a reminder of the importance of “societal forgetting.” By “erasing external memories,” he says in the book, “our society accepts that human beings evolve over time, that we have the capacity to learn from past experiences and adjust our behavior.” In traditional societies, where missteps are observed but not necessarily recorded, the limits of human memory ensure that people’s sins are eventually forgotten.

By contrast, Mayer-Schönberger notes, a society in which everything is recorded “will forever tether us to all our past actions, making it impossible,

C OV ER S T ORY

in practice, to escape them.” He concludes that “without some form of forgetting, forgiving becomes a difficult undertaking.”

It’s often said that we live in a permissive era, one with infinite second chances. But the truth is that for a great many people, the permanent memory bank of the Web increasingly means there are no second chances — no opportunities to escape a scarlet letter in your digital past. Now the worst thing you’ve done is often the first thing everyone knows about you.

The crisis All this has created something of a collective identity crisis. For most of human history, the idea of reinventing yourself or freely shaping your identity — of presenting different selves in different contexts (at home, at work, at play) — was hard to fathom, because people’s identities were fixed by their roles in a rigid social hierarchy. With little geographic or social mobility, you were defined not as an individual but by your village, your class, your job or your guild. But that started to change in the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with a growing individualism that came to redefine human identity.

As people perceived themselves increasingly as individuals, their status became a function not of inherited categories but of their own efforts and achievements.

This new conception of malleable and fluid identity found its fullest and purest expression in the American ideal of the self-made man, a term popularized by Henry Clay in 1832. From the late 18th to the early 20th century, millions of Europeans moved from the Old World to the New World and then continued to move westward across America, a development that led to what the historian Frederick Jackson Turner called “the significance of the frontier,” in which the possibility of con-

In his book, Viktor MayerSchönberger says by “erasing external memories, our society accepts that human beings evolve over time, that we have the capacity to learn from past experiences and adjust our behavior.” stant migration from civilization to the wilderness made Americans distrustful of hierarchy and committed to inventing and reinventing themselves.

In the 20th century, however, the ideal of the self-made man came under siege. The end of the Western frontier led to worries that Americans could no longer seek a fresh start and leave their past behind, a kind of reinvention associated with the phrase “GTT,” or “Gone to Texas.” But the dawning of the Internet age promised to resurrect the ideal of what the psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton has called the “protean self.” If you couldn’t flee to Texas, you could always seek out a new chat room and create a new screen name.

For some technology enthusiasts, the Web was supposed to be the second flowering of the open frontier, and the ability to segment our identities with an end-

less supply of pseudonyms, avatars and categories of friendship was supposed to let people present different sides of their personalities in different contexts. What seemed within our grasp was a power that only Proteus possessed: namely, perfect control over our shifting identities.

But the hope that we could carefully control how others view us in different contexts has proved to be another myth. As socialnetworking sites expanded, it was no longer quite so easy to have segmented identities: Now that so many people use a single platform to post constant status updates and photos about their private and public activities, the idea of a home self, a work self, a family self and a high-schoolfriends self has become increasingly untenable. In fact, the attempt to maintain different selves often arouses suspicion.

Moreover, far from giving us a new sense of control over the face we present to the world, the Internet is shackling us to everything that we have ever said, or that anyone has said about us, making the possibility of digital self-reinvention seem like an ideal from a distant era.

The solution?

Concern about these developments has intensified this year, as Facebook took steps to make the digital profiles of its users generally more public than private. Last December, the company announced that parts of user profiles that had previously been private — including every user’s friends, relationship status and family relations — would become public and accessible to other users. Then in April, Facebook introduced an interactive system called Open Graph that can share your profile information and friends with the Facebook partner sites you visit.

What followed was an avalanche of criticism from users,

privacy regulators and advocates around the world. Four Democratic senators — Charles Schumer of New York, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Mark Begich of Alaska and Al Franken of Minnesota — wrote to the chief executive of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, expressing concern about the “instant personalization” feature and the new privacy settings. The reaction to Facebook’s changes was such that when four New York University students announced plans in April to build a free social-networking site called Diaspora, which wouldn’t compel users to compromise their privacy, they raised more than $20,000 from more than 700 backers in a matter of weeks. In May, Facebook responded to all the criticism by introducing a new set of privacy controls that it said would make it easier for users to understand what kind of information they were sharing in various contexts.

Facebook’s partial retreat has not quieted the desire to do something about an urgent problem.

All around the world, political leaders, scholars and citizens are searching for responses to the challenge of preserving control of our identities in a digital world that never forgets. Are the most promising solutions going to be technological? Legislative? Judicial? Ethical? A result of shifting social norms and cultural expectations? Or some mix of the above?

A humane society values privacy because it allows people to cultivate different aspects of their personalities in different contexts; and at the moment, the enforced merging of identities that used to be separate is leaving many casualties in its wake.

Snyder couldn’t reconcile her “aspiring-teacher self” with her “having-a-few-drinks self”: Even the impression, correct or not, that she had a drink in a pirate hat at an off-campus party was

That doesn’t mean, however, that it had to derail her life. After taking down her MySpace profile, Snyder is understandably trying to maintain her privacy: Her lawyer told me in a recent interview that she is now working in human resources; she did not respond to a request for comment. But her success as a human being who can change and evolve, learning from her mistakes and growing in wisdom, has nothing to do with the digital file she can never entirely escape.

Our character, ultimately, can’t be judged by strangers on the basis of our Facebook or Google profiles; it can be judged only by those who know us and have time to evaluate our strengths and weaknesses, face to face and in context, with insight and understanding. In the meantime, as all of us stumble over the challenges of living in a world without forgetting, we need to learn new forms of empathy, new ways of defining ourselves without reference to what others say about us, and new ways of forgiving one another for the digital trails that will follow us forever.

entral Oregon’s banking landscape has changed noticeably in one year. The big question: How will it look a year from today?

One year ago, Nampa, Idaho-based Home Federal Bank didn’t operate here.

Today, it has 12 branches in Central Oregon after regulators closed Prinevillebased Community First Bank on Aug. 7, 2009, then Eugene-based LibertyBank on July 30. Home Federal scooped up both.

Today, it has more Central Oregon branches than Bend-based Bank of the Cascades, with 11, but Home Federal is expected to consolidate overlapping sites by the new year. How many, when and where have yet to be determined.

Liberty’s five area branches and market share drove Home Federal’s bid on the bank, President and CEO Len Williams said. “If (Liberty) didn’t have Central Oregon, we wouldn’t have done it.”

The bank wants to be in the top two or three in market share, typically measured in deposits, in regions where it operates. With the Liberty acquisition, Home Federal now has $325.9 million in Central Oregon deposits. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. hasn’t updated its annual market share reports, but using 2009 data, that would put the bank No. 2 in local deposit share, behind Bank of the Cascades.

Why increase its exposure in the volatile Central Oregon marketplace?

“It wasn’t a high-risk transaction for us,” Williams said, noting its loss-share agreement with the FDIC. “In effect, there was a competitor eliminated.”

The bank acquired all of Liberty’s $718 million in deposits, and bought $419.7 million of the failed bank’s assets. Of those, $300 million is covered in the loss-share agreement in which the FDIC, according to its website, typically reimburses 80 percent of losses incurred by the buyer on covered assets.

You can see why banks like FDIC-assisted transactions.

They’re Home Federal’s top priority in its markets, Williams said. “That said, I’m kind of hoping we don’t see any for a while because we’ve got to chew and swallow this one.” The bank would be interested in additional opportunities to increase its share here, in Southern Oregon, where Liberty had four branches, and in the Boise area.

Liberty followed the other big banking change here this year, on Jan. 22, when Tacoma, Wash.-based Columbia State Bank acquired The Dalles-based Columbia River Bank. The closure of Liberty, which traced its roots to Bend in 1979, probably won’t be the last Oregon bank shuttered as the economy faces a glacial recovery. But after back-to-back Oregon bank closures — Grants Passbased Home Valley Bank was closed July 23 — Oregon banks apparently can breathe a sigh of relief, for now.

The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, which works with the FDIC in bank oversight, said no other Oregon banks are in immediate danger of closure. However, it’s still possible there will be more closures before the economy completely recovers, DCBS noted.

Bank of the Cascades is a prominent player on the list of troubled banks operating under regulatory orders to improve their financial health, chiefly to raise capital. It’s trying to raise $150 million, which the bank has tentatively lined up, according to a federal suit the bank filed July 29. The suit says another company has breached a deal, effectively blocking the investment.

How that plays out is yet to be seen.

“We’re certainly seeing the progress in them trying to address their capital needs,” said David Tatman, administrator of DCBS’s Division of Finance and Corporate Securities. “They’re taking the steps that we’ve asked them to under the order. We’d sure like to see them get that capital, though.”

Some Oregon banks are raising money.

Lake Oswego-based West Coast Bancorp raised $172.9 million of capital since October, and its regulatory order was lifted last month. Banks that have enough capital or can raise it can ride out the economy. Prospects would appear bleak for troubled banks that can’t raise it.

Despite ongoing consolidation, High Desert Bank President and CEO Larry Snyder said local consumers still have myriad options with banks of all sizes.

Additionally, he and Williams said they would like to lend more money but that cautious companies aren’t investing — a reflection of the economy. As long as it struggles, some banks will, too.

or the DeBoer family of Lithia Motors Inc., Bob Thomas Car Co., in Bend, must have looked like the perfect fit.

Most dealerships owned by Medford-based Lithia are located in small and midsize regional markets throughout the West and Midwest. They stand alone in their markets, without competing dealers selling the same brand.

Bob Thomas Car Co., located on Northeast Third Street in the heart of Bend, population 82,000, held the only Chevrolet and Cadillac franchises within 45 miles, a fact President Bob Thomas highlighted while fighting to keep the product lines, in testimony to Congress and appeals to General Motors.

The Bend dealer had another element in his company that Lithia would desire: a Honda franchise.

Edwin Perello discovered that Bing, the Microsoft search engine, could find addresses in his rural Indiana town when Google could not. Laura Michelson, an administrative assistant in San Francisco, was lured by Bing’s flight fare tracker. Paul Callan, a photography buff in Chicago, fell for Bing’s vivid background images.

Like most Americans, they still use Google as their main search tool. But more often, they find themselves navigating to Microsoft’s year-old Bing for certain tasks, and sometimes they stay a while.

“I was a Google user before, but the more I used Bing, the more I liked it,” Callan said.

“It’s more like muscle memory takes me to Google.”

While no one argues that Google’s dominance is in immediate jeopardy, Google is watching Microsoft closely, mimicking some of Bing’s innovations — like its travel search engine, its ability to tie more tools to social networking sites and its image search — or buying startups to help it do so in the future.

Google has even taken on some of Bing’s distinctive look, like giving people the option of a Bing-like colorful background, and the placement of navigation tools on the lefthand side of the page. The result is a renaissance in search, resulting in more sophisticated tools for consumers.

The competition is a remarkable and surprising twist: Microsoft, knocked around for so long as a bumbling laggard, has given the innovative upstart Google a kick in the pants.

As the search engines introduce feature after competing feature, some analysts say they have set off an arms race, with the companies poised to spend whatever it takes to win the second phase of Web search.

Bing’s Web share Bing still handles a small slice of Web searches in the United States — 12.7 percent in June, compared with Google’s 62.6 percent, as measured by comScore, the Web analytics firm. But Bing’s share has been growing, as has Yahoo’s, while Google’s has been shrinking.

Threat of debt to U.S., world economies Short on cash? You

DALLAS — Over coffee at the DeSoto library, Janice Buckles, an educator and lifelong Democrat, vents at the angry, shouting activists she sees on TV lately — folks who want to chop government down to size, depriving it of funds needed for the elderly, the poor and the schools.

She’s plenty worried about the federal debt, too, $13 trillion and growing — worried it will become a pretext to cut the social safety net.

“I believe in reaching out and helping others,” she said. “Those people who earn more — they ought to pay more.”

A half-hour away in Rowlett, in Republican territory, Suzan Fulton is sick of Washington.

She’s the office manager at her husband’s financial advising firm. Last year, after 65 years on the political sidelines, she got worried enough about the direction of the country to help start a local tea party group.

only choke off growth.

“They have done this for years,” Fulton said. “ ‘Oh, we are in trouble, so we have to raise taxes.’ ” There’s lots of talk lately in Washington about the hard choices facing the country as the debt hits unprecedented levels.

But there’s little mystery about the menu of solutions. Spend less, raise taxes, or find ways to grow the economy.

It’s as simple as losing weight.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

— You’re out for dinner with a friend and the bill arrives.

But, oops, you’re short on cash and can’t pay up.

Instead of hitting the ATM or writing a paper check to repay that friend’s loan, there’s now another option: log online to your bank and send a virtual check. All that’s required is the recipient’s e-mail address or cell phone number, where they receive a text notification.

It’s known as a personto-person — or P2P — payment, and a growing number of banks and credit unions are rolling out the service.

Sort of like PayPal for personal banking, it lets you send and receive cash electronically without having to disclose or swap financial information with the recipient, whether it’s the baby-sitter or your best buddy.

See P2P / G5

How P2P works Let’s say you want to pay $25 to your buddy Bob. With Golden 1’s system, you log onto your online banking account and its “EZPay” link, click on “Send Money,” enter Bob’s name and e-mail or mobile phone number, enter the amount, preview the payment details, then re-click “Send Money.”

On Bob’s end, he’ll get either a text alert or an e-mail, letting him know there’s a payment waiting.

From his computer, Bob selects the link, enters your e-mail address or mobile number, followed by a secure transaction code, then hits “Get Money.” Once he designates the bank account where the money is to be deposited, the cash is transferred .

Consumer demand boosts cable, satellite TV profits The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Consumers are feeling more confident about spending on small luxuries such as premium cable services and pay-per-view, propelling the earnings of cable and satellite TV providers upward in the second quarter. Advertisers, particularly automakers, also spent more in the quarter.

Time Warner Cable Inc., DirecTV Inc. and Cablevision Systems Corp. all show healthy upticks in demand for their pricier digital cable tiers, high-definition TV packages and rentals of digital video recorders and movies. They

also raised rates, boosting profits.

Even as other industries struggled in the sluggish economy, the subscription TV business — cable and satellite TV providers and phone companies that offer video — has not seen much of a downturn.

People have been reluctant to give up their entertainment altogether, and staying home to watch TV is still cheaper than going to the movies.

Of the three, which serve about a third of the nation’s TV viewing households, DirecTV gained the most video subscribers, 100,000 in the quarter.

Counterfeiters aim lower to appeal in this economy

By Stephanie Clifford New York Times News Service

In this economy, even counterfeiters are trading down.

After years of knocking off luxury products like $2,800 Louis Vuitton handbags, criminals are discovering there is money to be made in faking the more ordinary — like $295 Kooba bags and $140 Ugg boots. In California, the authorities recently seized a shipment of counterfeit Angel Soft toilet paper.

The shift in the counterfeiting industry, which costs American businesses an estimated $200 billion a year, plays to recession-weary customers looking for downmarket deals, the authorities say. It has been fueled in part by factories sitting idle in China. Almost 80 percent of the seized counterfeit goods in the United States last year were produced in China, where the downturn in legitimate exports during the recession left many factories looking for goods — in some cases, any goods — to produce.

“If there is demand, there will be supply,” said John Spink, associate director of the Anti-Counterfeiting and Product Protection Program at Michigan State University.

In China, he said, “It’s all of a sudden them saying, ‘We have low capacity. What can we make?’ ”

The advantages of going cheap The answer, increasingly, is knockoffs of lesser-known brands, which are easy to sell on the Internet, can be priced higher than obvious fakes, and avoid the aggressive programs by the big luxury brands to protect their labels, retail companies and customs enforcement officials say.

The results: Faux Samantha Thavasa bags for $113 and Ed Hardy hoodie sweatshirts for $82.50. And, bizarrely, imitations that are more expensive than the real ones: In 2007, Anya Hindmarch sold canvas totes that said “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” for $15. Now fakes are available on the Web for $99.

“If it’s making money over here in the U.S., it’s going to be reverse-engineered or made overseas,” said Jonathan Erece, a trade enforcement coordinator for U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Long Beach, Calif.

“It’s like a cat-and-mouse game.”

Products seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection are displayed in April in Long Beach, Calif. “If it’s making money over here in the U.S., it’s going to be reverse-engineered or made overseas,” says Jonathan Erece, a trade enforcement coordinator for U.S. Customs. “It’s like a cat-and-mouse game.”

The traders in midprice fakes are employing another new trick: By pricing the counterfeits close to retail prices — which they can do when the original product is not too expensive — they entice unsuspecting buyers. Any savvy shopper, for example, knows a Louis Vuitton bag selling for $100 cannot be the real thing.

But when NeimanMarcus. com, an authorized retailer for Kooba bags, sells them for $295, and a small website sells them for $190, a deal-hunting consumer could think she has scored a bargain. (She hasn’t.

The $190 bag is a fake.)

“If the price points are somewhat close, some consumers get duped into believing they’re getting a real product,” said Robert Barchiesi, president of the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition, a trade group.

“They might be looking for a bargain, but a bargain to buy real goods.”

The counterfeiters are also lifting photos and text from legitimate websites, further fooling some shoppers.

“The consumer is blind as to the source of the product,” said Leah Evert-Burks, director of brand protection for Ugg

www.OasisSpaofBend.com

Australia’s parent company, the Deckers Outdoor Corp. “Counterfeit websites go up pretty easily, and counterfeiters will copy our stock photos, the text of our website, so it will look and feel like” the company site, she said.

A massive problem While all of it is illegal, the authorities do not publish statistics on what brands’ products are being counterfeited. But designers and trade experts said the downmarket trend in counterfeiting became more noticeable over the past year, as counterfeiters got more inventive.

The field is big: The total value of counterfeit goods seized by U.S. customs officials increased by more than 25 percent each year from 2005 to 2008, using the government’s fiscal calendar. In fiscal 2009, as imports overall dropped by 25 percent, the value of counterfeit products seized dropped by only 4 percent to $260.7 million.

The official statistics capture only a piece of the problem, companies and experts say, because so many counterfeiters market directly to customers on the Internet, and many of those sales go undetected by the

authorities.

“Online is much harder” to patrol and enforce, said Todd Kahn, general counsel for Coach, the handbag and accessories company.

That is particularly true for smaller brands, as Anna Corinna Sellinger, co-founder and creative director of the New York clothing and accessories company Foley & Corinna, learned.

A couple of years ago, she began checking out which Foley & Corinna items were selling on eBay. Her city tote, which now retails for $485, was a popular item, but on some listings “there was something off — it’s a color I never did, or a leather I never did,” she said.

As other sites proliferated, and Corinna Sellinger noticed more and more Internet fakes, she stopped looking altogether.

“It’s just too frustrating,” she said. “You can try to do something, but it’s so big and so fast.”

Continued from G1 The options to avert the looming fiscal crisis are just as unpleasant and unpopular, and Americans don’t seem ready to embrace any of them. Like dieters who indulge their craving for chocolate cake, they demand costly entitlement programs, a robust military and new highways — but punish leaders who try to cover the costs by raising taxes.

They readily tell pollsters that sacrifices are needed but insist that somebody else should make them.

Politicians aren’t known for misreading the electorate; if voters wanted sacrifice, they would get it. So for anyone frustrated with the paralysis in Washington, a glance in the mirror might help explain it.

The ebb and flow Toland and Meochia Watkins grew up in Dallas and met at Jarvis Christian College in East Texas. Now they live in DeSoto, the heart of Dallas’ only Democratic congressional district, represented by Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas.

His parents are 59 and still working, still paying into Social Security — a program the Watkinses, like many Americans, doubt will be there whenever they retire. Her dad is retired military and relies on veterans benefits.

She is 38 and tests circuits at Verizon. He’s 39. As a U.S. Department of Labor data specialist, he chronicles the ebb and flow of the work force. They dress nicely. They bought a three-bedroom home seven years ago. “We’re the so-called middle class,� Toland Watkins said.

One employer he tracked grew from nothing to 50 workers. Another recently shut down a call center, lopping 200 jobs in one stroke. “He said, ‘Toland, times are hard.’ ... I hear the bad and the good of it.�

Traditional Democrats, the Watkinses believe strongly in government’s role protecting the elderly and impoverished.

Their son and daughter are 14 and 6. Before they can even drive, each is effectively saddled with $43,000 of the national debt. “It seems like way back when, they (policymakers) used to think about the future or plan for rainy days,� the mom said. “We just don’t do that anymore.�

Her husband blames much of the debt problem on George W. Bush. Bush, he noted, inherited a budget surplus and then boosted spending — for two wars and a new prescription drug benefit for seniors, in particular — while also insisting on tax cuts. By the time Barack Obama took over, the deficit was $1 trillion, so it irritates Watkins to hear Republicans point fingers at Democrats for fiscal missteps.

This year alone, the federal government will spend $1.9 trillion more than it collects — a record — on everything from pills for Grandma to new highways, unmanned drones and school lunches.

By 2020, the Congressional Budget Office says, the budget will be $5.67 trillion, with a $1.254 trillion deficit. The government will owe $20.3 trillion, the equivalent of 90 percent of the nation’s economic output. Even if borrowing costs stay at historic lows — a dubious assumption — interest alone will soak up an astonishing $1 trillion.

That’s $1,000,000,000,000 each year, from China, Saudi Arabia or other lenders, or from U.S. taxpayers, before the government can build a flood-control levee, replace an aging spy satellite, feed a hungry child or hire a new Border Patrol agent.

such imbalances run out of options. At risk of social and political upheaval, they resort to sharply higher taxes; fire teachers, police and other civil servants; slash pensions; and scale back public services. “Whether you want tax cuts or more spending for education, debt is your worst enemy,� said Bruce Reed, executive director of the new White House commission charged with suggesting remedies later this year.

The only bright spot, he added, is that “there are plenty of hard choices to choose from.�

The blame Voters, like many politicians, often blame deficits on relatively minor components of the budget.

Does foreign aid suck up a quarter of the budget? Many Americans think so. It’s actually less than 1 percent.

Social Security and Medicare alone account for a third of federal spending. About one-quarter goes to health care and food for the poor and payments for the unemployed. Defense is the next-biggest outlay, followed by interest on the debt itself.

Housing, highways and all the rest add up to only about 20 percent of the budget.

The bogeymen vary, depending on one’s political views.

Tom Fulton, Suzan Fulton’s financial adviser husband, would eagerly gut the Education Department — which accounts for about 1.5 percent of the budget.

He figures that efficiency experts could squeeze 20 percent across the board, even after decades of crusades in Washington against waste, fraud and abuse. “There’s mismanagement in every one of these programs,� said Fulton, 67.

From a converted bank building with an ancient walk-in safe, and a coin jar labeled “What the IRS Missed,� Fulton spins tales and nurses the savings of a few hundred clients.

Suzan Fulton manages the office and volunteers at the local tea party and a community theater. Their son handles the computers. “I wish I had five or six more employees, so I could fire ’em� and cut costs, Fulton joked.

The debt problem hovers over him and his clients. “It scares the heck out of everybody. We are real close to being like Greece,� he said.

The comparison isn’t precise.

Greece is far smaller, and its debt topped 170 percent of the national economy, almost double the current U.S. ratio. Still, Fulton said, the deadly riots that ensued when Athens cut pensions and raised taxes should alarm anyone. “If we don’t change, the people that thought they had a free ride — there’s not going to be money to take care of anybody,� he said.

Obama? An “idiot.� But Fulton is “not real big on Republicans either.� In the 1980s, when Ronald Reagan signed off on capital gains tax changes, his business took a beating.

Survival meant paring expenses radically, at home and at the office — a lesson that still colors his personal and political outlook.

No shortage of ideas To slow federal spending, Fulton would raise the eligibility age for Social Security to the mid70s, or even older. Unlike some Republicans, he also would trim defense spending — 18 percent of the budget — though with two wars, he conceded that might take time. “There’s no sacred cows when you’re going broke,� Fulton said. “It isn’t complicated. ... You have to not spend more than you take in.�

But higher taxes? No way. He

illustrates why with a parable of two daughters.

The first has always been prudent, but she’s fallen on hard times. Her baby is sick and she needs $500 to cover the rent. “You’re going to give her money,� he said.

The other is “a worthless kid,� a ne’er-do-well who routinely seeks handouts and blows the money on fancy cars and houses. “You’re finally going to say to hell with it,� Fulton said. “We’re saying to hell with the government, because they want to waste money. Doggone it, it’s frustrating. I love the country and I hate to see it. I hate to see our irresponsibility.�

Last year, 11.1 percent of Americans’ personal income went to taxes — the least since 1950 and well below the peak of 18.6 percent a decade ago.

To some degree, the public seems to grasp that. In more than a half-century of gauging opinion about the tax burden, Gallup pollsters invariably hear grumbling about excessive taxes.

Some years, 70 percent of Americans complain. Yet for the last two years, a majority called their own tax burden “about right.�

That suggests maneuvering room for policymakers — if not for the public’s mixed signals.

More than eight in 10 Americans tell pollsters that cutting the deficit will require sacrifice by the middle class. Just as many, however, object to slowing the growth of Social Security and Medicare benefits, and to hiking taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000.

Americans split Slightly less than half of Americans say the amount of federal income tax they have to pay is too high, while almost as many say the amount they pay in taxes is about right.

Then there’s the widely held view that earmarks — spending directed by lawmakers without a full debate or presidential request — are a major source of red ink.

Bridges to nowhere and $500,000 paint jobs for jumbo jets generate headlines and outrage. But earmarks also support cancer research and cutting-edge military equipment.

And, contrary to popular belief, they’re carved from whatever Congress planned to spend anyway, so they don’t directly inflate the budget.

Still, critics say that if lawmakers can casually devote $2.6 million to potato research,

they probably can’t balance the budget.

In any case, the math is hard to ignore. In this year’s $3.7 trillion budget, earmarks amount to $16.5 billion, little more than a rounding error. Over the last 20 years, watchdog groups have found $306 billion worth, out of $39 trillion spent.

Imagine buckets of sand on a beach.

No wonder many fiscal experts consider it daunting, if not impossible, to balance the budget solely by holding down spending.

What is indisputable is that navigating the public’s sincere but contradictory demands — for

P2P

Lithia

Fees or free?

Continued from G1 “Anybody who’s savvy online can do this, from retirees to college kids,” said Teresa Halleck, president and CEO of Sacramentobased Golden 1 Credit Union, which launched the service last month.

“Just like online banking, it pulls the money from your checking account and transfers it to theirs. But you don’t have to know their bank account information, and they don’t know yours,” she said.

In a competitive banking world, where consumers can already check account balances or make deposits on their cell phones, the P2P service is another slice of the electronic banking.

“It’s catching on. It’s still relatively new but definitely growing,” said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst with Bankrate .com, who said Bank of the West, Bank of America and ING Direct are among financial institutions offering personal-payment plans to consumers.

“This is the way people want to transact,” said McBride. “They don’t want to have to hit the ATM or write a check so they can pay the baby-sitter.”

At this point, most P2P payments still have to be made and retrieved from a computer, using online banking. But Golden 1 and other banks are working on P2P for the iPhone and other smart phones.

Person-to-person payments will only become more pervasive, experts say, as will on-thego banking in general.

“Mobile payments, particularly P2P, are hot now, with banks by the hundreds” adopting the technology, said Bob Meara, senior analyst with global financial research firm Celent.

“Beyond check-writing trends, we’re seeing rapid adoption of all things mobile. Hundreds of financial institutions have launched mobile banking solutions in the past year,” Meara said.

Electronic options Here are some of the other online and mobile money tools now available to consumers: • Deposits by phone: JPMorgan Chase & Co. recently offered its iPhone mobile-banking users the ability to deposit checks by phone, using the built-in camera to photograph a check before transmittal. A similar option is available from USAA banks, which primarily serve military members and their families. As

Search Continued from G1 “There is a Cold War going on,” said Sandeep Aggarwal, senior Internet and software analyst at Caris & Company, who watches both companies. “Clearly, you can see how Bing’s competition is forcing Google to try and catch up in some places.”

Google officials agree there is more competition, but say they are not simply reacting to the younger search engine.

Google’s new features have not been in response to Bing, said Marissa Mayer, the company’s vice president for search products and user experience. “A lot of these things have been in the works for a long time,” Mayer said. “Lefthand navigaton we worked on for almost two years. We wanted to make sure we had it exactly right.”

Microsoft’s gains are far from staggering. Its share of searches has grown to 12.7 percent, from 8 percent, since it was introduced in May 2009, and Yahoo, which has a search deal with Microsoft, still

If P2P is offered by your bank, check to see if there are any fees. Golden 1, for instance, is currently offering its P2P service free to its online banking customers.

Bank of the West’s PopMoney service is free until Sept. 1, when the bank begins charging a $1 fee for a regular transaction or $3 for one-day service.

Meara noted, “Using one’s phone sure beats driving to the branch just to make a deposit.”

• Account alerts: Many banks and credit card companies let you sign up for text or e-mail alerts when your debit card is running low or you’re close to exceeding your credit card limit.

• ATM/branch locators: Smart phones let you find the nearest cash machine or walk-in branch.

• Personal financial management: Often offered free as part of online banking, it’s a Quickentype budgeting tool that lets consumers monitor their spending among various bank accounts.

The online-banking options will likely hasten the continuing decline of paper checks for noncash payments. According to a 2007 Federal Reserve study, the number of paper checks issued dropped more than 6 percent from 2003-06, while the use of credit cards, debit cards and other electronic payments increased substantially.

Given the acceleration of mobile banking, Meara said, “I wouldn’t be surprised to learn of check volume declines on the order of 10 percent to 20 percent (annually) over the next few years.”

For banks that have already launched P2P payments, it’s another tool aimed at attracting more consumers by offering online niche products.

“Our target audience is a broad one, from parents sending money to their kids at college to the more micro-payments (i.e. paying someone back for lunch),” Matt Macomber, head of Internet banking for Bank of the West, said in an e-mail. “Reaction has been very positive, with results exceeding our expectations for usage.”

What’s the next evolution?

Person-to-person mobile banking that will let you make an instant payment from your cell phone, say experts.

“You’ll be able to pay back your friend for lunch before you even stand up from the table,” said McBride. “That’s what everyone is working toward.”

handles a larger share of searches than Bing. And in the newest search frontier, mobile search, Google has even more market share than on the Web at large.

Still, Bing’s gains have impressed analysts who have watched Google fend off repeated assaults on its lucrative search and ad business, which accounts for some 95 percent of its revenue.

Daunting challenge Building a more comprehensive, faster and more accurate search engine than Google is a daunting challenge, and a long list of big companies and startups have failed in their attempts. Microsoft endured plenty of ribbing as it spent years building and then scrapping search systems meant to help it compete against Google.

But it kept experimenting until it found a way.

Microsoft has spent billions of dollars building the computing centers needed to power search and advertising systems and acquiring startups with niche expertise. In addition, it has thrown money at consumers, through

Continued from G1 Lithia may be based in a town of 77,000, but it travels in the automotive fast lane.

Automotive News ranks Lithia Motors ninth in its national Top 125 Dealership Groups list. The only other Oregon-based dealer on the list is Portland-based Ron Tonkin Family of Dealerships, which ranked 91st.

Lithia owns 84 stores in 12 states offering 26 brands of new vehicles, according to its latest quarterly financial report, which was filed Thursday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Last year, Lithia sold more than 29,000 new vehicles, according to its 2010 annual report, with Chrysler products making up 31 percent of newvehicle sales; GM, 17 percent; and Ford, 5 percent. Toyota vehicles represented about 13 percent.

According to Automotive News, total sales topped out at 77,100 vehicles, and total group revenue from all departments reached about $1.8 billion.

After recording a $252 million net loss in 2008, Lithia recovered in 2009, posting a $9.1 million profit, according to its annual reports.

And for the auto industry, 2009 was a bad year.

Total new-vehicle sales fell to 10.4 million, the lowest in more than a decade and 21 percent below 2008 sales, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association’s 2010 Dealership and Industry Review.

To turn things around, Lithia streamlined operations and cut costs, dealerships and employees.

The company centralized human resources, technology, advertising, legal, accounting and other similar operations in its Medford headquarters, reducing administrative employees per store by half, from 6.4 at the end of 2007 to 3.1 by the end of last year, according to its annual report.

From 2008 to 2009, the company reduced overall fulltime equivalent employment 19 percent, from 4,868 on Dec. 31, 2008, to 3,930 on Dec. 31, 2009, according to annual reports.

Cutting employees and improving operations saved $65 million, according to the 2010

cash-back programs on purchases, and at partners willing to promote Bing ahead of Google. Over the last year, Microsoft’s online services division lost $2.36 billion on revenue of $2.2 billion.

With Bing, Microsoft has tried to attract people like Callan by excelling at answering frequently asked questions, like those related to travel, health, shopping, entertainment and local businesses. For example, Bing has flight search and prediction tools that reveal how prices for a certain route fluctuate, and advises customers whether to buy or wait. Bing Health uses data from sources like the Mayo Clinic and Healthwise.

Not ‘shackled by blue links’ The hope is that “somebody would come back just for that and then, down the line, they would do other types of searches, too,” said Danny Sullivan, a longtime industry analyst and editor in chief of the blog Search Engine Land.

Toyotas and Scions made up about 13 percent of Lithia Motors Inc. 2009 new vehicle sales, according to the Medford-based company’s 2010 annual report.

On the Web www.lithia.com www.lithiacares.com http://lithialife.com annual report. By dumping underperforming dealerships, Lithia also generated $71.8 million in cash.

Lithia also went through the same turmoil with Chrysler and General Motors as auto dealers in Bend and across the nation.

It lost two Chrysler dealerships, one in Nebraska and the other in Colorado, according to its quarterly financial report. But five of its Dodge stores gained franchises, either Chrysler, Jeep, or both.

General Motors terminated all operations at three locations, and Lithia dumped a Saturn store.

GM decided this year to reinstate two of the dealerships, according to the quarterly report.

With fewer customers seeking new cars last year, the demand for used cars increased, according to the dealers association, and Lithia reported a slight uptick in used-car sales.

Similarly, Lithia focused on establishing and increasing customer loyalty though its service and parts operations, which generated 40 percent of gross profits last year, according to the annual report.

It offers a lifetime lube and oilchange service, which 35 percent of new- and used-vehicle buyers purchased, and provides outlets for buying wiper blades, tires

click on links and dig through pages to hunt out information, so when Bing started in May 2009, it pulled relevant information and stuck it on the top and left-hand side of the results pages. Search “Angelina Jolie,” for instance, and see a slide show and a list of her movies on top and related links on the side.

“We said, ‘Let’s change the entire way we lay out pages,’” said Yusuf Mehdi, a senior vice president for Microsoft’s online audiences business. “We will not be shackled by blue links.”

Google, meanwhile, has quietly introduced its own new features that have in several instances looked a lot like Bing’s.

For example, in May, it too added the left-hand navigation tools — though Mayer of Google pointed out that many of the tools had already been available, just not easily visible from the search page.

“Certainly there’s been increased competition in the space,” Mayer said of Bing. “When there’s more competition, everyone’s search gets better, that serves the users a lot better.”

and other parts.

Like Bob Thomas Car Co., Lithia Motors is a family-run operation.

Walt DeBoer began the company in 1946, according to Lithia’s website, with a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealership in Ashland, where the company also derives its name. Ashland is home to Lithia Springs.

When Walt DeBoer died in 1968, his son, Sid, took over. The executive roster lists several other DeBoers, the website shows.

In December 1996, the company went public. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange, Lithia stock reached a 52-week high of $16.49 per share on Sept. 25, and its low of $5.18 on Feb. 10. It closed Friday at $8.67 per share.

Despite its size, Lithia markets itself with a folksy slogan, “Lithia Autos Stores — Serving our Communities since 1946.”

The company also preaches customer satisfaction and retention, attempting to make buyers happy enough to refer family and friends to Lithia.

It also stresses the importance of supporting the communities in which it operates, although the economic crisis slowed some efforts.

Lithia, with the approval of the city of Medford, reduced its new downtown headquarters, from the 10-story tower planned in 2006 to a four- to six-story project approved earlier this year, according to The Mail Tribune newspaper in Medford.

The company has embraced the Web and social media, in an

Cylinder leak at root of mushy brakes

By Paul Brand (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

Q:

I have a 2000 Honda Civic with more than 194,000 miles on it that runs like a well-tuned top. The brakes work, but after using them for a while they turn mushy, and after sitting at a stoplight they sink to the floor.

I have no problem stopping, and the brakes have been bled.

If the brake pedal slowly sinks to the floor as you sit at a stop with your foot lightly on the pedal, yet stays solid without sinking if you pump the pedal once and hold firm pressure, replace the master cylinder. This symptom is called a master cylinder bypass leak. The cup seals are allowing brake fluid to leak past them when only light pressure is applied to the pedal. When firm pressure is applied, the seals expand properly into the bore of the master cylinder and hold firmly.

2010 Chrysler Sebring Limited Base price: $22,115 As tested: $25,075 Type: Compact, front-engine, front-wheel-drive family sedan. Also available as a convertible.

Engine: A 2.4-liter, 16-valve (with electronically controlled variable valve lift and timing for better fuel economy) four-cylinder engine is standard — 173 horsepower, 166 foot-pounds of torque. The transmission is a fourspeed automatic. A 2.7-liter V-6 engine (186 horsepower, 191 foot-pounds of torque) is available. But it consumes more fuel without a commensurate increase in performance, in part because it’s also linked to an aging fourspeed automatic transmission. It is not recommended by this column.

Mileage: 21 mpg city, 30 mpg highway sociation proportions, who was just being Brian — touching and pushing everything he can touch and push in an automobile to see if it would hold up.

In the 2010 Sebring Limited sedan in our possession, it didn’t.

It gave, almost to the point of detachment. Brian proclaimed it cheap, but I was prepared to give the compact, front-wheel-drive Sebring the benefit of the doubt.

My reasoning was this: Ordinary isn’t bad simply because it is ordinary. Ordinary can be good, if only to set the stage for the possibility of excellence. And that possibility exists in the Sebring.

Exterior styling is attractive.

It is a sleek, beautifully sculpted car, an American piece with hints of European aristocracy, most probably the result of its recent, now failed vehicle-development association with Germany’s Mercedes-Benz.

The interior appointments are good to look at, as long as that

does not involve aggressively touching and pushing them after they’ve spent hours in a 90-degree summer sun, thus, apparently, weakening their adhesives.

There is adequacy in the Sebring’s 2.4-liter, in-line four-cylinder engine (173 horsepower, 166 foot-pounds of torque). It will carry you to work and back in straight-lane, sea-level traffic with something approaching aplomb. But adequacy in a field of excellent rivals is a vice. And that viciousness manifests itself as incompetence in the 2010 Sebring sedan when it is asked to do anything difficult.

Getting up Mine Hill Road here can be difficult for many cars and trucks. But most make the ascent without threatening to pass out, or laboring with such drama that the driver seriously considers turning around and heading downhill instead of continuing forward.

Faulty relays and switches can affect wiper intervals

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

The intermittent wipers on my wife’s 1998 Dodge Caravan Sport seem to be possessed.

After the first few years, the intermittent feature only worked intermittently. We would have to switch back and forth between low speed and intermittent to get them to work intermittently. This was not a priority to fix, as rain fall in Surprise, Ariz., is almost nonexistent.

Now something new has happened — this is the possessed part. When you turn the wipers off, they come on low speed, and the only way to turn them off is to select intermittent speed. This even happens with the key off. Is this something I can fix?

Good job for observing and explaining so clearly what your wipers do and don’t do. This means the difference of not being able to help you versus being able to suggest two clear courses of action.

Your Caravan’s wiper system is one of the more complicated ones I’ve seen — it required two cups of coffee and an Excedrin to sort through. I began by printing three sets of wiring diagrams, and then, using highlighting pens, shaded the desired electrical paths for low, high, park and intermittent functions. Visualizing the path-

A:

ways through a multifunction switch, several relays, the body control module and motor park switch, I gained an understanding of how things are supposed to work. Then I applied your symptoms and tried to grasp how the odd behavior could be possible.

Your first problem, I believe, is caused by a faulty control switch.

Whenever a load (an electrical device that performs work such as a lamp, horn or motor) can be made to work by jiggling the switch, wiggling a connector or smacking the device, the fault is almost always right there, at the spot you are manipulating. The Caravan’s wiper switch contains a series of resistors for each of the switch settings. Depending on which setting is chosen, a differing voltage is sent to the body control module, the boss of this and many other vehicle systems.

This is a clever design, used to minimize the number of wires needed, but is vulnerable to additional, accidental resistance occurring throughout the rest of the circuit after many years of use. You may ask for a certain setting, but the body control module thinks you want something else.

It’s very rare for a control module to make a mistake; erratic operation is usually the result of a faulty input or load.

The wiper switch is part of the

“multifunction switch,” contained within the turn-signal stalk on the steering column. These are widely available. Used ones are inexpensive and new ones are as cheap as $50. Replacement is fairly simple, after removing the upper and lower steering column trim covers.

Your most recent problem should also be simple to fix, with either a new or used part. The only possible way for the wipers to function with the key off is if the wiper-on relay contacts are sticking — that is, failing to separate when turned off. This relay is located in the power distribution center, a fuse box located in the left side of the engine compartment.

Relays are remote-controlled, heavy-duty switches, and modern cars are full of them. Using a relay allows a small switch or computer to request a medium to large load to be turned on, without having to supply the working electricity.

Power comes straight from the battery, through a fuse. Relays also unburden the ignition switch from supplying working electricity to the ever-increasing number of loads in use today.

I have an ’05 F-150 with 47,000 miles. I get a shudder from 0 to 20 mph when I accelerate. It is more noticeable when I start out on an incline. It’s much worse when I pull my boat but totally disappears after 20 mph. Ideas?

We have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 truck. Just recently, the air conditioning blows hot when idling or in park, really cold when the vehicle is in motion. What could be causing the problem?

The air-conditioning pressure transducer on the highpressure side of the system supplies a signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) that influences A/C operation. Low refrigerant level, high coolant temperatures and very low ambient temperatures can prevent the PCM from allowing the A/C compressor to engage. Buy a gauge or have a shop check A/C pressures to see if the system needs recharging.

CORNWALL, N.Y. — What was remarkably ordinary and even pleasant in its normalcy became miserable midway up Mine Hill Road, which rises nearly 1,500 feet above sea level.

The telltale signs of an overburdened four-cylinder engine presented themselves — coughing, wheezing and egregiously downshifting. UnR E V I E W til then, I was prepared to argue with the many critics of the thoroughly ordinary Chrysler Sebring sedan.

It’s not such a bad car in an unstressed driving environment — say, along a straight highway on a day of mild weather and middling traffic. It can handle that. In fact, it excels under such circumstances, almost becoming likable.

The car, driven in its leatherbedecked Limited version for this column, most certainly is comfortable. The fake tortoiseshell accents in combination with brushed aluminum along the instrument and interior door panels are attractive, albeit not terribly well-mounted.

Brian Armstead, my longtime friend and often partner in automotive evaluations, decided to poke and prod one of the instrument panel’s tortoise and aluminum pieces before I left Virginia for these parts. He wasn’t being nasty or abusive. He’s a big fellow, a man of National Basketball As-

bad enough if the 2010 Sebring sedan offered exceptional fuel economy. But it doesn’t. It gives you 21 miles per gallon in the city and 30 miles per gallon on the highway, which is nothing to cheer about.

I beg you, dear reader, not to conclude from my misgivings that the Sebring is an awful car.

It has excellent government crash ratings for survivability in front and side collisions. Rollover crash protection is quite decent at a four-star (with five stars being tops) government rating. And if a Chrysler dealer is willing to offer the 2010 Sebring Limited sedan at a base price of $19,000 instead of the listed $22,115, it’s a steal.

Otherwise, the bottom line for this one is dismal. Italy’s Fiat, Chrysler’s new owner, is going to have to markedly “up” the Sebring’s game to render it competitive in a midsize/compact sedan market in the United States occupied by the likes of the Ford Fusion and Focus, Toyota Camry and Corolla, Honda Accord and Civic, Chevrolet Malibu and Cruze, Hyundai Sonata and Elantra, and Nissan Altima and Sentra.

The Chrysler Sebring does not top any of its rivals in any area of build quality or road performance. And that’s just plain unacceptable.
