RESTORATION AFTER ROOSTER ROCK Efforts turn to rehabilitation of fire — and firefighting — damage

Inmates on the fire line

The Bulletin

The Bulletin

After a year of collecting unemployment, John Harding, of Bend, was eager to get some work when the Rooster Rock Fire broke out south of Sisters last month.

A wildland firefighter since 1995, Harding, 37, was with other members of his Prineville-based contract fire crew waiting to be called to the fire when he heard that inmate fire crews from Deer Ridge Correctional Institution were being activated.

The call never came, leaving Harding feeling discouraged.

“When you’ve got companies here based out of Central Oregon ready to go, and next thing you know they call inmate crews in, a lot of us were like, ‘What? Wait a minute.

Why’d they call them in?’” he said. “We need the money to feed our families.”

In the initial attack of the Rooster Rock Fire, the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center called out two 10-person crews from Deer Ridge, three 20person crews from private firefighting companies, and various crews from state and federal agencies. At the peak of the fire, 900 people were working to halt the Rooster Rock Fire, which was contained after nine days at 6,134 acres.

and others were on-site to assess damage caused by the blaze and develop a plan for its restoration.

“It’s a really quick process — we hit the ground,” said Rob Tanner, with the Deschutes National Forest’s Burned Area Emergency Response Team.

And multiple rehabilitation projects are going on at once, he said — while the response team is looking for the damage caused by the fire, crews are put to work restoring the damage caused during the firefighting process, like dug-up dozer lines and damaged culverts.

Treatment homes set to open in Bend

“As the fire gets contained, then we start looking at what can we do when we still have the equipment on the fire,” said Terry Craigg with the U.S. Forest Service, who is leading the response team.

The majority of the 6,134-acre Rooster Rock Fire burned on private land. There, the rehabilitation work from the Oregon Department of Forestry is limited to the damage done by the fire suppression effort, said George Ponte, Central Oregon district forester with the state agency.

“Once the fire’s out, it’s really up to the landowner to determine what they do with the property,” Ponte said.

Still, the crews already on the scene from fighting the fire will smooth over dozer lines or cover them with soil to make it a little more natural, he said.

“We try to do it with resources that are already on the fire,” Ponte said. “We’re very cost-conscious.”

Crews will also replace culverts that were crushed by dozers, Craigg said, and cut down burnt trees that might otherwise fall and injure people.

The Rooster Rock Fire burned about 4,800 acres of private land, and much of that was owned by Fidelity National Timber Resources.

When Bend resident Dillon Schneider opened his mailbox Monday, he thought he was looking at just another piece of junk mail.

It was an invitation to a “community gathering” that was being held in his neighborhood by Telecare Corp.

But as he read closer, he noticed the event was taking place in his very own cul-de-sac, and its purpose was to inform the community about one of two new five-bed mental health treatment homes that was opening next door to his family’s house.

“We were devastated,” Schneider said. “It was quite a shock to find out that they’re planning on opening in September, and this meeting is on August 26. This was the absolute first time that we’ve heard of it.”

He’s not the only one concerned.

Many others in his neighborhood are nervous about mental health patients — some of whom are getting out of Oregon State Hospital — living in the community and have concerns about the safety of their children, lowered property values and the proximity of the treatment homes to schools.

But Telecare, based in Alameda, Calif., and Deschutes County officials say the fears are unwarranted. Patients will be supervised 24 hours a day and will be screened to make sure they’re not dangerous.

They also won’t be ex-convicts.

WASHINGTON — At first, the news from Yemen on May 25 sounded like a modest victory in the campaign against terrorists: An airstrike had hit a group suspected of being operatives for al-Qaida in the remote desert of Marib province, birthplace of the legendary queen of Sheba.

But the strike, it turned out, had also killed the province’s deputy governor, a respected local leader who Yemeni officials said had been trying to talk al-Qaida members into giving up their fight. Yemen’s president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, accepted responsibility for the death and paid blood money to the offended tribes.

Inside • Map of where the U.S. has increased covert military and intel activities, Page A3 The strike, though, was not the work of Saleh’s decrepit Soviet-era air force. It was a secret mission by the U.S. military, according to American officials, at least the fourth such assault on al-Qaida in the arid mountains and deserts of Yemen since December.

The attack also offers a glimpse of the Obama administration’s “shadow war” against alQaida and its allies.

When it works, and if it works, the James Webb Space Telescope could revolutionize astronomy by peering so deep into space that scientists soon could study the dawn of time. But construction of NASA’s next big telescope has been so hurt by delays and cost overruns that even its staunchest champion in Congress reached a breaking point.

The budget-busting hasn’t happened in a vacuum either. An upcoming report from the National Academies is expected to underscore concerns that American astronomy doesn’t get the funding it needs.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — Faced with withering Republican criticism of his defense of the right of Muslims to build a community center and mosque near ground zero, President Barack Obama quickly recalibrated his remarks Saturday, a sign that he has waded into even more treacherous political waters than the White House had at first realized.

In brief comments during a family trip to the Gulf of Mexico, Obama said he was not endorsing the New York project, but simply trying to uphold the broader principle that government should “treat everybody equally,” regardless of religion.

“I was not commenting, and I will not comment, on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there,” Obama said. “I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding. That’s what our country is about.”

But Obama’s attempt to clarify his remarks, less than 24 hours after his initial comments at a White House “iftar,” a Ramadan sunset dinner, pushed the president even deeper into the thorny debate about Islam, national identity and what it means to be an American — a move that is riskier for him than for his predecessors.

The debate over the proposed Islamic center in Manhattan only intensified Saturday, as the conservative blogosphere lit up with criticism of Obama, and leading Republicans — including

Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and House Minority Leader John Boehner forcefully rejected the president’s stance.

Gingrich accused the president of “pandering to radical Islam.”

Boehner said the decision to build a mosque so close to ground zero was “deeply troubling, as is the president’s decision to endorse it.”

Indeed, the criticism was so intense that the White House ultimately issued an elaboration on the president’s clarification, insisting that the president was “not backing off in any way” from the comments he made Friday night.

“As a citizen, and as president,” Obama said then, “I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as everyone else in this country. And that includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in Lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances.”

Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, also held annual Ramadan celebrations and frequently took pains to draw a distinction between al-Qaida and Islam, as Obama did Friday night. But Obama, unlike Bush, has been accused of being a closet Muslim (he is Christian) and faced attacks from the right that he is soft on terrorists.

Few national Democrats, already uneasy ahead of the midterms, rushed to Obama’s defense; party leaders, who would much prefer Obama to talk about jobs, were mostly silent.

STOCKHOLM — WikiLeaks will publish its remaining 15,000 Afghan war documents within a month, despite warnings from the U.S. government, the organization’s founder said Saturday.

The Pentagon has said that secret information will be even more damaging to security and

risk more lives than WikiLeaks’ initial release of some 76,000 war documents.

“This organization will not be threatened by the Pentagon or any other group,” Julian Assange told reporters in Stockholm. “We proceed cautiously and safely with this material.”

He said WikiLeaks was about halfway through a “line-by-line

review” of the 15,000 documents and that “innocent parties who are under reasonable threat” would be redacted from the material.

The first files in WikiLeaks’ “Afghan War Diary” laid bare classified military documents covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010. The release angered U.S. officials.

ON GULF COAST, OBAMA PLEDGES SUPPORT AFTER SPILL

ELECTION

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama used the anniversary of Social Security to trumpet Democrats’ support for the popular program and accuse Republicans of trying to destroy it.

Seventy-five years after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Social Security into law, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday: “We have an obligation to keep that promise, to safeguard Social Security for our seniors, people with disabilities and all Americans — today, tomorrow and forever.”

Some Republican leaders in Congress are “pushing to make privatizing Social Security a key part of their legislative agenda if they win a majority in Congress this fall,” Obama said.

Most Republicans, in fact, are wary of privatizing, because Social Security is virtually sacrosanct to voters, particularly seniors. Nonetheless, Democrats have been able to seize on the issue because of a proposal by Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the top Republican on the House Budget Committee, that would allow younger people to put Social Security money into personal accounts.

The Associated Press BUFFALO, N.Y. — Eight people leaving a party at a downtown Buffalo restaurant were shot early Saturday, four of them fatally, including an Austin, Texas, man who had returned to his hometown to celebrate his first wedding anniversary, police said.

Managers had decided to close the City Grill in the city’s business district after an altercation inside. The victims were leaving at about 2:30 a.m. when a man who had been inside began shooting, police said.

Keith Johnson, 25, of Buffalo, was charged Saturday afternoon with four counts of second-degree murder and could face more charges. Johnson was in custody late Saturday afternoon and unavailable for comment.

Police didn’t know whether Johnson was involved in the earlier altercation.

The group was attending a party in advance of a more formal anniversary celebration scheduled for later Saturday, authorities said. The couple, Danyell Mackin, 30, and his wife, Tanisha, married in Texas a year ago and had returned to celebrate with Buffaloarea friends and family, authorities said. Tanisha Mackin was not hurt. They have a 6-year-old son and a 7-month-old daughter.

going anywhere until it is,” he said. “That’s a message I wanted to come here and deliver directly to the people along the Gulf Coast.”

It is the fifth time the president has visited the area since the crisis began, but the first time he has appeared along with the first lady and his younger daughter, Sasha. Older daughter Malia is at summer camp. “Beaches all along the Gulf Coast are clean, they are safe, and they are open for business,” he said, adding other tourists should “come on down here.”

NEW ORLEANS — Now that the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history has effectively been stopped, the White House is considering an early end to its moratorium on deepwater drilling.

But four months after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon, regulators have only started to make good on promises to overhaul drilling. Tough measures are stalled in Congress. A $1 billion emergency response network proposed by the industry won’t be operational for another year.

And while doomsday scenarios from the BP spill, like oil washing up the East Coast, have

not come to pass, there are no guarantees that drilling will be any safer once it does resume.

What’s changed is “not enough to make a big difference,” said Charles Perrow, a Yale professor who has studied the Gulf spill.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has halted deepwater drilling until Nov. 30, saying the BP spill demonstrated the industry wasn’t prepared for a massive underwater blowout. He’s ordered rigs to re-examine their equipment and safety procedures, and next month plans to order new safeguards for blowout preventers.

Before drillers can return to the deep water, however, Salazar said the industry should be able to show that it’s capable of

responding to and containing future blowouts.

Some energy experts, engineering consultants and Gulf Coast leaders joined Big Oil to ask Salazar to change his mind.

Drilling was safe before the BP spill, they said, and Gulf communities that depend on the industry were suffering unfairly.

That argument appears to have gained traction, even among people most affected by the spill, now that BP is close to plugging the well for good.

According to the most recent state data, the oil and gas industry supports more than 320,000 jobs in Louisiana and generates more than $12.7 billion in household earnings.

It has worked with European allies to dismantle terrorist groups in North Africa. And the Pentagon tapped a network of private contractors to gather intelligence on, among other things, militant hideouts in Pakistan.

While the stealth war began in the Bush administration, it has expanded under President Barack Obama, who rose to prominence in part for his early opposition to the invasion of Iraq. Virtually none of the newly aggressive steps undertaken by the U.S. government have been publicly acknowledged. In contrast with the troop buildup in Afghanistan, which came after months of robust debate, for example, the U.S. military campaign in Yemen began without notice in December and has never been officially confirmed.

Obama administration officials point to the benefits of bringing the fight against al-Qaida and other militants into the shadows. Afghanistan and Iraq, they said, have sobered American politicians and voters about the staggering costs of big wars that topple governments, require years of occupation and can be a catalyst for further radicalization throughout the Muslim world.

Instead of “the hammer,” in the words of John Brennan, Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser, America will rely on the “scalpel.” In a speech in May, Brennan, an architect of the White House strategy, used this analogy while pledging a “multigenerational” campaign against al-Qaida and its extremist affiliates.

Blending war and intel Yet such wars come with many risks: the potential for botched operations that fuel anti-American rage; a blurring of the lines between soldiers and spies that could put troops at risk of being denied Geneva Convention protections; a weakening of the congressional oversight system put in place to prevent abuses by America’s secret operatives; and a reliance on authoritarian foreign leaders and surrogates with sometimes murky loyalties.

The May strike in Yemen, for example, provoked a revenge attack on an oil pipeline by local tribesmen and produced a propaganda bonanza for al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula. It also left Saleh privately furious about the death of the provincial official, Jabir al-Shabwani, and scrambling to prevent an anti-American backlash, according to Yemeni officials.

The administration’s demands have accelerated a transformation of the CIA into a paramilitary organization as much as a spying agency, which some critics worry could lower the threshold for future quasimilitary operations. In Pakistan’s mountains, the agency had broadened its drone campaign beyond selective strikes against al-Qaida leaders and now regularly obliterates suspected enemy compounds and logistics convoys, just as the military would grind down an enemy force.

For its part, the Pentagon is becoming more like the CIA. Across the Middle East and elsewhere, Special Operations troops under secret “Execute Orders” have conducted spying missions that were once the preserve of civilian intel agencies. Such

As the Obama administration continues to add to the aid package for flood-stricken Pakistan — already the largest humanitarian response from any single country — officials acknowledge they are seeking to use the efforts to burnish the United States’ dismal image there.

Administration officials say their top priority is providing much-needed help to a pivotal regional ally in the fight against alQaida. But when senior officials from the White House, State Department, Pentagon and Agency for International Development hold their daily conference calls to coordinate American assistance, they are also strategizing about how that aid could help improve relations with Pakistan.

proval of Yemen’s government. By law, covert action programs require presidential authorization and formal notification to the congressional intelligence committees. No such requirements apply to the military’s so-called Special Access Programs, like the Yemen strikes.

Obama administration officials defend their efforts in Yemen. The strikes have been “conducted very methodically,” and claims of innocent civilians being killed are “very much exaggerated,” said a senior counterterrorism official. In Yemen, officials said, there is a dearth of solid intelligence about al-Qaida operations. “It will take time to develop and grow that capability,” the senior official said.

In part, the spotty record of the Yemen airstrikes may derive from another unavoidable risk of the new shadow war: the need to depend on local proxies who may be unreliable or corrupt, or whose agendas differ from that of the United States.

Weighing success Despite the airstrike campaign, the leadership of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula survives, and there is little sign the group is much weaker.

Attacks by al-Qaida militants in Yemen have picked up again, with several deadly assaults on Yemeni army convoys in recent weeks. As a test case, the strikes have raised the classic trade-off of the post-9/11 era: Do the selective hits make the United States safer by eliminating terrorists? Or do they help the terrorist network frame its violence as a heroic religious struggle against American aggression, recruiting new operatives for the enemy?

Edmund Hull, the U.S. ambassador to Yemen from 2001 to 2004, cautioned that American policy must not be limited to using force against al-Qaida.

“I think it’s both understandable and defensible for the Obama administration to pursue aggressive counterterrorism operations,” Hull said. But he added: “I’m concerned that counterterrorism is defined as an intelligence and military program. To be successful in the long run, we have to take a far broader approach that emphasizes political, social and economic forces.”

Telescope Continued from A1 “When Webb bleeds, the rest of space science hemorrhages,� said Michael Turner, one of the report’s authors and a professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Chicago.

In a letter dated June 29, U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., all but ordered NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden to assemble a panel of outside experts to ensure the Webb project doesn’t break its latest promise: a 2014 launch on a $5 billion budget. “We like the concept of the Webb, but I tell you, we’re not in the overrun business,� said Mikulski, who chairs the Senate subcommittee with oversight of NASA’s budget.

NASA agreed to form the panel and placed veteran engineer John Casani in charge.

Even so, keeping the Webb on track won’t be easy. Already, the telescope is at least $1.5 billion over budget and three years behind schedule, thanks to poor financial planning and knotty engineering problems, according to government watchdogs.

And further delays and cost overruns are possible. Just last year, Mikulski had to secure an additional $75 million to keep Webb workers on the job as part of the stimulus plan passed by congressional Democrats.

Replacing Hubble Smaller robotic missions have suffered because of cost overruns with Webb, Turner said. But the project has been kept alive by expectations about what it can do and the need to replace the popular Hubble Space Telescope, which could end operations as early as 2014. “It’s been a long wait, and it’s been very expensive. But when it is launched and operating, people are going to forget the wait and how much it cost, and they are going to go gaga about the discoveries,� he said.

It can take billions of years for the light of distant stars to reach Earth. As designed, the Webb can see so far into space that it essentially can look back in time.

This quirk in physics will enable Webb scientists to learn more about the events that immediately followed the big bang, a cosmic explosion that scientists think created the universe more than 13 billion years ago. “We are aiming to see the realm between 250 million years after the big bang to about 400 million years afterward,� said Jonathan Gardner, a top Webb scientist.

Hubble can only see within 800 million years of the big bang. “The James Webb is designed to find the first galaxies that formed in the early universe,� Gardner said.

Specifically, the Webb and its 21-foot infrared mirror will test the theory that the first galaxies were disorganized and composed of “very large, very bright and short-lived stars,� he said.

Instruments onboard the Webb also will help scientists learn more about the chemical makeup of early stars and how elements formed and later dispersed throughout the universe. “This is all about ‘Where did we come from? What is our place in the universe?’� Gardner said. “Sometimes science and religion are addressing the same question in different ways.�

But before that happens, NASA and its international partners need to make sure it works.

Technical problems Unlike Hubble, which orbits 350 miles above Earth, NASA plans to station the Webb telescope about 1 million miles away in what’s known as a Lagrange point — a cosmic neutral ground where the tug of the Earth and sun even out so that objects in such a spot stay almost stationary.

That way, scientists can focus the Webb’s mirror in one direction — deep space — while employing a shield that can block sunlight and keep its temperature-sensitive instruments from getting too warm.

Getting those pieces to work has been difficult, however, and a 2006 Government Accountability Office report identified several potential problems. The telescope must be compressed to fit aboard the European Ariane 5 rocket that will launch it, so a key concern was whether the Webb can safely unfold its origamilike mirror and shield once it reaches space. “If program officials follow the current plan, the maturity of key technologies may not be adequately tested prior to program start,� the report noted. “In addition, it appears the program will not have sufficient funding resources to ensure the program’s success.�

Since then, NASA officials said they have addressed — if not necessarily solved — these problems.

astrophysics director, said the Webb underwent a major design review this spring and that the appraisal found no “showstoppers� that could kill the project, including difficulties with the shield and mirror. “That doesn’t mean everything is completely done,� he said. But he said it’s a necessary

step to ensure that the Webb works once it gets into space, because its distance from Earth means there’s no way astronauts could fix it.�

In the meantime, University of Chicago’s Turner said the rest of the astronomy community will be rooting for the Webb to succeed, not just because of what it could

do, but also so it no longer acts as a millstone on other projects. “If we had to do it over again, would we do it differently? Of course,� he said, referring to NASA’s decision to rely too heavily on experimental technologies when designing the Webb. “But we’re not building Model Ts here.�

Fire Continued from A1 Fidelity is mapping the burn, said Nancy Craven, a vice president with the company, taking pictures and determining how severe it was in different places.

And once that’s done, it’ll develop a plan for where to log some of the burnt trees and plant new ones. “We are in the process of establishing a baseline of the damage and have begun the process of evaluating both the salvage and replanting,� she said.

On the 1,350 Forest Service acres burned, the response team was out the day after the fire was contained, looking for places where a big rainstorm could erode soils, possibly muddying waterways or even causing landslides that could damage private property. “The main objective,� Tanner said, is “to identify imminent postwildfire threats to human life and safety, property and critical natural or cultural resources, and take immediate actions to manage unacceptable risks. If you’ve got steep country, and private land downstream of the country, you’ve definitely got a risk.�

The Rooster Rock Fire generally burned on relatively flat land, however. And after testing the soils, Tanner said they will probably be able to absorb rain without washing away. The fire did burn on steeper slopes along Whychus Creek, and although some of the trees near the creek will die, the soil looks OK, he said. “Because of what we see in the severity (of) the soils, we don’t think there’s a big risk to Whychus Creek,� Tanner said.

The emergency response team has seven days after the fire’s containment to develop a plan for what needs to be done and send it to the Forest Service’s regional office in Portland.

The planning efforts from a burned area emergency response team can cost between $15,000 and $40,000, Tanner said, and the actions the team recommends can cost between $3,000 and several million — immediate restoration work on a recent fire in Washington cost about $10 million.

Tanner said he did not yet know what specific activities the plan

will include, but it will probably involve work to help prevent erosion, ensure that weeds don’t take over in the bare soils, and cut down potentially hazardous trees. “One of our biggest priorities is making sure everybody’s safe,� he said.

The goal is to get the work done before the first big rain, typically in the fall.

The team usually does not recommend replanting or reseeding an area, Tanner said. Studies have found that in places where crews planted seeds to help speed up plant growth, it doesn’t make much of a difference and in some cases delayed the natural recovery.

Burned areas in Central Oregon can bounce back quickly, he said, pointing to the Black Crater Fire of 2006. “It’s like a carpet of 6-inch-high to foot-high ponderosa pines,� he said. “The natural regeneration out there is phenomenal, and that’s good to see.�

The Rooster Rock Fire was the 11th major wildfire to burn in the Sisters Ranger District since 2002, said Maret Pajutee, district ecologist. So the ranger district has had plenty of chances to track post-fire recovery.

And the area’s native plants are adapted to fires, she said. The Wizard Fire burned two years ago, and already native grasses and flowers have come back strong. “After a burn, the plants are bigger and happier because they get more moisture, they get more sunlight, and there’s less competition,� she said. “Oftentimes, they’re twice or three times the size.�

The Rooster Rock Fire burned similarly to other fires in the area, she said, and although trees might be dead, the soils should be able to support vegetation. “It’s kind of within the range of what we’ve seen before, and we think it will recover,� Pajutee said.

Lone survivor recounts attack on aid workers

Inmates Continued from A1 Bart Lee, assistant center manager for the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center, said the inmate crews are considered a state agency — and thus a preferred crew as compared with private firefighting crews, because they’re trained and organized by the Oregon Department of Forestry.

“As a state agency, you’re going to get hammered either way,” Lee said. “We have to do it the most cost-effective way, which is using the inmates, or we’re supposed to use the contractors instead of the inmates. You’re in a catch22 situation.”

Rick Dice, owner of firefighting company PatRick Environmental in Redmond, said the practice of using inmates on wildfires could run afoul of Measure 17, a constitutional amendment approved by Oregon voters in 1994 requiring inmates be involved in full-time work or training. The amendment states the Department of Corrections should avoid prison work programs that “would displace or significantly reduce pre-existing private enterprise,” which Dice said would include his company, formed in 1971.

“Prison crews should never compete with the private sector, period,” he said. “I don’t think when we passed a law that prisoners should work did anybody in the public think they should take private-sector jobs.”

Dice said that while inmate crews have fought fires across the West for years, they were rare in Central Oregon until the 2007 opening of Deer Ridge in Madras.

Jeanine Hohn, spokeswoman for the Oregon Department of Corrections, did not respond to requests for clarification as to whether inmate fire crews are in competition with private firefighting companies.

Kevin Benton, unit forester for the Central Oregon District of the Oregon Department of Forestry and the incident commander for the first few days of the Rooster Rock Fire, said inmate crews are regarded as interchangeable with any other ODF crew. The inmates are cheaper, Benton said — about one-fifth of the roughly $30 per hour paid to firefighters on contract crews — but when a fire is growing, incident commanders are looking for crews that can get to the fire lines fastest, not the cheapest ones.

“Cost is secondary, one of the last things that crosses my mind when I’m out there as an incident commander making the decision what resources to order,” Benton said.

Cost of contractors The price of putting out a major wildfire can’t be ignored, said Grant Kemp, center manager of the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center, noting Wednesday that the Rooster Rock Fire had cost the various agencies involved approximately $4.8 million.

Fire crews from state and federal agencies are preferred when possible, he said, as they’re earning their paychecks regardless of how slow or busy the fire season is.

For the Oregon Department of Forestry, inmates are a much cheaper firefighting force; they’re also trained directly by the state agency. spokesman, said a slow fire season means there’s little work to go around for wildland firefighters, and it’s understandable contract crews would point the finger at the use of inmate labor.

Until the timber industry began contracting in the mid1980s, contract fire crews were a rarity in the Northwest.

Royalties from timber harvests allowed the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management to employ large numbers of seasonal firefighters, and the major timber companies supplied additional manpower to combat fires.

Following a severe 1987 fire season, the ODF started what became known as the Interagency Fire Crew Agreement, a partnership between several agencies establishing a list of private contract fire crews that can be called out to fight fires on public lands.

In response to several active fire seasons, the number of contract crews signed under the Interagency Fire Crew Agreement jumped from 106 to 300 between 2000 and 2003, Nichols said, creating an oversupply of firefighters when fire activity subsided.

The glut of contract crews meant many firefighters saw few days on the fire lines, and many companies that supplied contract crews went out of business.

Hoping to keep enough private firefighting companies in business in the event of a bad fire season, the ODF restricted the number of companies it contracts with. This year, 196 private 20-person crews are available — and 22 10-person crews are supplied by the Department of Corrections.

“It is a balancing act. In a slower season, which we’ve had until now, certainly a lot of the private contractors are not seeing as much activity as they’d like to see — there’s no doubt about it,” he said. “Of course, things can change overnight.”

6 Iraqi forces killed as checkpoints attacked

By Saad Abdul-Kadir The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Gunmen killed six Iraqi security personnel Saturday, including a pair of sleeping policemen who were shot and set on fire, amid persistent debate over whether Iraqi forces can protect the country as U.S. troops leave.

The early-morning shootings at Baghdad checkpoints demonstrated the insurgents’ aim to weaken confidence in the government and aggravate sectarian tension as all but 50,000 U.S. troops head home by the end of August.

In the first attack, gunmen armed with silenced pistols killed two policemen asleep in their patrol car at a security checkpoint in the Shiite-dominated New Baghdad neighborhood, said an officer with the federal police in Baghdad. The assailants then set the car on fire and fled, he said.

A half-hour later, a drive-by shooting on a checkpoint killed two more policemen in the Amil

area, another Shiite neighborhood, in southwest Baghdad, two other police officials said. Two passersby were injured, they said.

Around the same time, gunmen attacked a checkpoint manned by government-backed Sunni fighters in the capital’s northeast.

It was not clear if the shootings were coordinated or carried out by the same attackers.

As the number of U.S. soldiers dwindles at a rate of about 4,000 each week, insurgents have stepped up attacks on Iraqi security forces, demonstrating remaining vulnerabilities. Checkpoints continue to be an easy target for gunmen, and traffic police — many of whom are unarmed — have also been slain in recent weeks.

Last year, President Barack Obama ordered all but 50,000 U.S. troops to leave Iraq by Aug. 31. Under a security agreement between both nations, all U.S. troops are to be out of Iraq by the end of 2011.

KABUL, Afghanistan — One of the gunmen who killed 10 charitable health workers in northern Afghanistan hitched a ride with the medical team shortly before the murders, the sole survivor of the attack told The Associated Press on Saturday.

“God was good to me,” the team’s surviving driver, Safiullah, said in an interview punctuated by long pauses and tears for his slain colleagues.

On Aug. 5, the day of the attack, the medical team stopped to give three men a lift — a common courtesy in the rugged, remote area. Soon after, 10 members of the International Assistance Mission — six Americans, three Afghans, one German and a Briton — lay dead.

It was a tragic finale to the team’s more than two-week mission covering about 100 miles — much of it on foot and horseback — through the Hindu

Kush mountains, giving vision and other medical care to impoverished villagers in Nuristan province.

The attackers killed all but Safiullah, 28, who raised his arms in the air and recited verses from the Islamic holy book Quran as he begged the gunmen for his life.

He said the gunmen were physically fit. He recalled that one, a tall pale-faced man, wore commando-style garb. Another, he said, was clad in yellow Afghan-style clothing.

“If it’s 100 years later and I see them, I’ll know them,” he said.

Were the attackers linked with the Taliban, which claimed responsibility, or with the Hizb-i-Islami group that operates in the area under the leadership of warlord and former Afghan Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar?

“What is different between Hizb-i-Islami and the Taliban?” he asked. “Both are killers.”

Blagojevich retrial?

Probably, experts say

Mental health Continued from A1 “We’re not a post-incarceration facility, and we’re not an incarceration facility,” said Kevin McChesney, Telecare’s regional director of operations. “We really want people to be successful in these settings. ... We’re really dealing with people with the expectation that they can go out and live a happy, productive life in the future.”

Telecare is a private company being paid by the state to open two five-bed residential treatment homes on Bend’s northeast side near Pilot Butte. One of the treatment homes is at 1058 N.E. 12th St., and the other is at 1646 N.E. Edgecliff Circle near where Schneider lives.

Both homes will have 24-hour supervision, and together will serve six Deschutes County mental health patients and four patients from the area who have been civilly committed to the state hospital because they were found to be a danger to themselves or others or could not care for themselves.

Patients will not be locked up in the facilities, and the homes are designed to serve as a sort of mental health halfway house for individuals trying to transition into a life of independence.

But many neighbors of the two houses, particularly those closest to the Edgecliff Circle facility, are wary of the treatment centers and are looking for ways to prevent patients from moving in.

At a meeting held in front of the Edgecliff Circle house Friday night, approximately 50 neighbors gathered to share information and discuss their options for learning more about the project.

Under Oregon law, the operators of a mental health facility with five or fewer beds are not required to notify neighbors before opening their doors.

Steve Welbourn, who owns a house nearby and is the Central Oregon president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said a more transparent process would have been preferable. Welbourn said he’s been working with Deschutes County Mental Health Director Scott Johnson to set up a meeting between the county, neighbors and representatives of Telecare that could happen as early as Monday.

Schneider is the executive director of the Cascade Community School of Music, and he said he’s concerned about the safety of children in the area. He has a 5-yearold who plays in his backyard, in plain view of the treatment home, and he said there are a lot of other children in the area, many who walk past the cul-de-sac to Pilot Butte Middle School just around the corner. The 12th Street home is also located in a residential neighborhood a few blocks from Juniper Elementary School.

“Almost everyone who lives in this neighborhood has a family ... so the safety thing is pretty huge,” Schneider said. “The other main thrust of concern has to do with property values. What family is going to buy a house next to a residential treatment facility for seriously mentally ill clients? It’s basically making our property unsellable.”

Former Deschutes County Sheriff Les Stiles lives near Schneider, though not on Edgecliff Circle, and he said his problems with the treatment home mainly revolve around not allowing residents in the neighborhood a chance to weigh in.

“Right now, it’s all come as such a surprise that I don’t have an opinion about the facility itself, good, bad or indifferent, yet,” Stiles said. “What I’m most concerned about right now is that we get an announcement stuck in our

Les Stiles, the former Deschutes County sheriff, speaks Friday evening at a gathering of neighbors concerned about the mental health treatment facility opening next month at 1646 N.E. Edgecliff Circle. “I don’t have an opinion about the facility itself, good, bad or indifferent, yet,” Stiles, who lives nearby, told The Bulletin. “What I’m most concerned about right now is that we get an announcement (about the home’s opening) stuck in our mailboxes.” mailboxes. ... It’s a classic example of government run amok again.

It’s more like we’re doing it to you, not with you.”

He agreed with Schneider in that there are safety concerns with mental health patients living in a residential neighborhood, but he also noted that during his time in law enforcement that wasn’t always the case.

“Until I can get some solid information from a credible source and get enough facts, I’m really not going to be in any position to say it’s a good thing or it’s a bad thing,” Stiles said. “I do know on the surface, from what I did with my number of years of work in Deschutes County, that in some instances there are some issues and challenges, and in other instances there aren’t. They’re some of the cleanest places on the block.”

Treatment homes Deschutes County already has several residential treatment facilities for mental health patients in Bend. Two are foster homes for local mental health patients and civilly committed state mental health patients, and another is for individuals who committed crimes and are monitored by the state.

Even with those facilities, Deschutes County Adult Treatment Program Manager Lori Hill said there’s a shortage of places to go for people who have just been released from the state mental health institution and who aren’t quite ready for independent living.

“We’ve had to have people be placed elsewhere in the state because we haven’t had these types of facilities,” Hill said of the new residential homes. “Some people just need a little more supervision.”

She said most times residential mental health operations run “pretty smoothly,” and there haven’t been any incidents between patients and people living in the neighborhood. That doesn’t mean there haven’t been instances when patients have had to be taken back to a hospital or a more secure facility, she added, calling that just “part of having people with mental illness.”

“In general, when people are under supervision and getting the supervision they need, they usually do better,” Hill said. “There are

many success stories with people that do well and then move on to be more independent.”

While she said she understands why neighbors of the new treatment homes might be apprehensive about mental health patients living next door, the facilities are allowed in residential areas without prior approval, such as through a public hearing process.

“There’s no specific zoning that can be placed in neighborhoods, and we can’t discriminate against people with mental illnesses,” Hill said. “They are living (in) our communities now.”

McChesney, with Telecare, said most of the patients in the homes likely will have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder, though some might have severe depression. None of the patients living in the houses will have been convicted of a crime and will be monitored by the Psychiatric Security Review Board, he said, and each patient will be screened before being admitted to make sure there is no history of violence, for instance, or that the patient is not a sex offender.

“We don’t want to bring anybody into the house that is dangerous to anyone in the house or outside the house, whether adults or children,” McChesney said.

“We’re not interested in admitting people into our programs that are not safe for our programs. That doesn’t make sense to us.”

Most patients, he said, will likely be individuals who were civilly committed to a state institution and have stabilized to a point where they can move on to a lessintensive treatment facility.

Telecare’s program in the homes aims to help patients acclimate to a life of independence outside of a mental health institution, McChesney said, and will involve things like teaching individuals how to shop for groceries, wash dishes and do laundry.

“What we’re really doing with folks is we’re supervising them ... and we’re teaching them just sort of basic life skills,” he said. “These are folks who have been separated from society for a while.”

McChesney said he’s not surprised by the opposition to Telecare’s residential home facilities opening in Bend and said it’s pretty common with most of the company’s new projects located

in established neighborhoods. He said there is often a blurring of boundaries between mental health patients and what society has dubbed the “criminally insane” that makes people nervous about having a treatment facility next door.

For the most part, he said, there shouldn’t be any problems at either location, and the most anyone will see that’s out of the ordinary is the occasional police car or a team of councilors who would respond to the homes if a patient’s symptoms flare up.

“We like to take into account the fact that we have neighbors, and we want to be good neighbors,” McChesney said. “I think they’ll find that there will be a minimal impact on their lives.”

CHICAGO — There were times this summer when it seemed the evidence in his corruption trial might sweep away Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor who was captured on a mountain of audio recordings allegedly plotting to sell the powers of his office while trying to land something like an ambassadorship to India for his trouble.

But not so fast. Screaming headlines about accusations leveled at Blagojevich from the witness stand by his former aides have been replaced by news that jurors who sat through the trial may not be able to decide on most of the 24 counts in the indictment.

The jury sent a note to U.S. District Judge James Zagel on Thursday, saying they could decide on only two of the charges against Blagojevich and his brother, Robert Blagojevich. The panel said it could not reach a verdict on 11 others and hadn’t even deliberated on another 11 counts. “The defense should be patting itself on the back,” said Thaddeus Hoffmeister, a law professor at the University of Dayton. “The prosecution will consider this a loss. I’m sure they’re reviewing the case right now and perhaps rethinking their strategy.”

Experts predict that as the government awaits the verdict, prosecutors already are trying to identify the flaws in a case that once looked like a rout and figure out how to remedy them in a retrial, should one be necessary. Most experts believe so, and even said a plea bargain also would appear to be out of the picture.

Mexico rethinks drug strategy as death toll soars

By Tim Johnson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MEXICO CITY — The drug war in Mexico is at a crossroads.

As the death toll climbs above 28,000, President Felipe Calderon confronts growing pressure to try a different strategy — perhaps radically different — to quell the violence unleashed by major drug syndicates.

Even an elder from his own party, former President Vicente Fox, is taking potshots at Calderon, telling him that his policy is seriously off-track.

Many Mexicans don’t know whether their country is winning or losing the war against drug traffickers, but they know they’re fatigued by the brutality that’s sweeping parts of their nation.

Calderon has urged his countrymen not to gauge the drug war by the relentless rise of the death toll.

In early April, newspaper tallies put the toll at around 18,000, but legislators then leaked a higher official estimate: 22,700. Earlier this month, the nation’s intelligence chief said that 28,000 people most likely had been killed since Calderon came to office in late 2006.

“The number of murders or the degree of violence isn’t necessarily the best indicator of progress or retreat, or if the war ... is won or lost,” the president told opposition party chiefs at a meeting called to pull the nation behind his counter-drug strategy. “It is a sign of the severity of the problem.”

Calderon had called the party

Soldiers walk through marijuana plants at an illegal plantation found on the outskirts of Tecate, in northern Mexico, on Monday. About nine different marijuana plantations, with some 50,000 plants, were found by the army while patrolling the area, officials said. bosses — along with academics and civic leaders — into public sessions on how to improve security and get the upper hand against the drug gangs, several of which are engaged in bloody warfare over smuggling routes.

“What I ask, simply, is for clear ideas and precise proposals on how to improve this strategy,” the president said at one session.

What Calderon, a bespectacled

economist with a professorial manner, got instead was a barrage of criticism. The government should send soldiers back to their barracks, he was told, and do more to attack money-laundering and to protect judges. Several politicians, including Fox, suggested that Calderon consider legalizing narcotics.

The near-daily brainstorming sessions were interrupted when

Calderon flew to Colombia to attend the swearing-in Aug. 8 of President Juan Manuel Santos, and that nation’s success in battling cocaine cartels has served as a reference point for the discussions.

So have several disclosures and news events that underscore the levels of corruption that are corroding law enforcement efforts.

Among them: • Public Safety Secretary Gen-

aro Garcia Luna said Aug. 6 that narcotics cartels paid around $100 million a month in bribes to municipal police officers across Mexico, ensuring that their activities went undisturbed.

• Some 250 federal police officers abducted a commander briefly earlier this month in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, accusing him of being in cahoots with traffickers and forcing the police to extort citizens.

Calderon is seeking support for wholesale police reform in Mexico, where some 33,000 officers belong to a federal police force and another 430,000 belong to disparate state or municipal forces.

He’s pointed to Colombia’s unified national police as an example of how to make headway against organized crime.

Municipal police earn miserable salaries and are notoriously corrupt in much of Mexico, where they’re subject to a choice by drug gangs — “plomo” or “plata” — either take a “lead” bullet or accept a payoff in “silver” to look the other way.

During Calderon’s government, criminal gangs have killed 915 municipal police officers, 698 state police and 463 federal agents, the Public Safety Secretariat said.

“Probably the most corrupt institutions in Mexico are those municipal police forces,” said Scott Stewart, the vice president for tactical intelligence at Stratfor, a company based in Austin, Texas, that provides global analysis.

N B 2 deaths in Nevada mine shaft accident RENO, Nev. — Searchers in Nevada found the remains of two miners at the bottom of a gold mine shaft, company officials said Saturday, after crews worked for more than 32 hours to safely access the area 1,300 feet underground.

The company said the men had been missing since early Thursday when a vertical pipe broke from a wall and struck a cage similar to an elevator lowering the pair into the ventilation shaft.

Clouds reportedly low at Alaska crash ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A pilot flying in the area of last week’s plane crash that killed former Sen. Ted Stevens and four others has estimated that clouds were as low as 600 feet at the time of the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board said Saturday.

That is well below previous estimates of between 1,000 and 2,000 feet. It’s unclear how high Stevens’ plane was flying, and the cause of Monday’s crash on a remote mountainside in southwest Alaska hasn’t been determined.

$18.9M aquatic center OK’d by Sunriver

HOT DOG! Washington Week WASHINGTON — U.S. House members made an unexpected return to the Capitol last week to finish up work on a bill that sent $26 billion to states to shore up health care and school programs.

For most West Coast members, that meant a red-eye flight, a few hours in Washington, D.C., and then another cross-country trip back home.

The U.S. Senate opened for business for less than an hour on Thursday, to pass a border security bill, but did so with just two senators in attendance.

The bill wasn’t opposed by Republicans.

Here’s how Oregon lawmakers voted last week:

U.S. House • PROVIDING MONEY FOR STATE HEALTH CARE AND SCHOOL PROGRAMS Passed 247-161 on Tuesday.

The measure sends $16 billion to states to pay for Medicaid costs and $10 billion for schools. It is funded by cutting some food stamp benefits in 2014 and making it harder for companies that do business overseas to claim tax deductions. Democrats said the measure was needed to avert layoffs of teachers and other state workers, while Republicans argued it would continue a string of federal bailouts.

Rep. Greg Walden, R ......... No Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D... Yes Rep. Peter DeFazio, D....... Yes Rep. Kurt Schrader, D ....... Yes Rep. David Wu, D ............. Yes

• ALLOWING A POST-ELECTION SESSION OF THE HOUSE Passed 236-163 on Tuesday.

The measure killed a proposal by Republican Rep. Tom Price of Georgia that would have prevented the House from meeting after the November elections for a “lame-duck” session. Price and other Republicans argued that Democrats shouldn’t pass wide-ranging legislation after the composition of Congress changes and Republicans pick up more seats. A “yes” vote was to kill Price’s proposal and allow a lame-duck session.

Rep. Greg Walden, R ......... No Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D... Yes Rep. Peter DeFazio, D....... Yes Rep. Kurt Schrader, D ....... Yes Rep. David Wu, D ............. Yes

two pieces of advice.

The Bulletin

Sunriver property owners on Saturday overwhelmingly approved a plan to spend up to $18.9 million to build a new aquatic center, with 68.7 percent voting in favor of the project proposed by the Sunriver Owners Association.

General Manager Bill Peck said it was the biggest election in the history of the owners association, with turnout above 80 percent. Ballots for the proposal were sent to owners in mid-July, and were tabulated Saturday with assistance from outside auditors hired by the owners association.

The owners association plans to build the aquatic center on a 22-acre vacant property off Beaver Drive known as the “amphitheater site,” a reference to an amphitheater that was proposed in the original plans for the community but never built. Two small hills on the amphitheater site make it a popular location for wintertime sledding.

Current plans for the facility propose a large outdoor pool, an outdoor kiddie pool, two outdoor hot tubs and a lazy river-style pool, along with an eight-lane, 25-yard indoor lap pool. With a total of 15,200 square feet of pool space, the center would be nearly 50 percent larger than the existing South and North pools combined.

The pools would be at the center of a parklike development that includes a playground, picnic areas and an amphitheater, and adjoined by a building containing locker rooms, a fitness facility and multiple meeting rooms.

Each residential property in Sunriver will pay $4,395 to finance the construction of the aquatic center, either up front or in multiple payments spread over five to 15 years. Once the project is complete, the 42-year-old South Pool will be closed, while the smaller 29-year-old North Pool will remain open.

In a statement issued Saturday afternoon, owners association President Tom Ped wrote that the project is on target to be completed by Memorial Day 2012, and credited owners for involving themselves in the development of the proposal.

“We believe that by involving our members in every step of the initial design process, and by being responsive to their input, we were able to present a proposal that was essentially crafted by them,” Ped wrote.

One, flip-flops are a poor choice of footwear.

Two, a hot dog dropped among several excited dogs won’t sit on the ground for long.

Hot dog races were just one of several events held at Riverbend Park in Bend on Saturday for Deschutes Dog Days. A benefit for DogPAC, a Bend-based organization that advocates for the development of recreational spaces for dogs, the first-time event was designed as a fun way to call attention to the organization’s work, said Alex McClaran, emcee for the event and a member of DogPAC. Dogs are a big part of the recreational picture in Central Oregon “vacationland,” McClaran said, regular companions on everything from crosscountry ski trips to mountain bike rides.

“No matter what you do, it’s usually not just mom, dad and the kids, there’s usually dogs involved,” he said. “And there’s a lot of people in town that don’t have kids — but they have dogs. We’ve got a lot of dog families in Bend.”

Kreg Lindberg, president of DogPAC, said the best estimates suggest around 50 percent of the households in Bend have at least one dog. DogPAC played a key role in the development of several off-leash dog parks that opened in Bend last year, Lindberg said, and is now working with the Deschutes National Forest to loosen the leash laws on a handful of trails around the area.

Without an organization to speak for them, dog owners and their interests are easily overlooked by park boards and local governments, Lindberg said.

“Dog owners aren’t exactly like the NRA or the Moral Majority or anything, but hopefully, people are paying a little bit of attention,” he said.

The event served as a fundraiser for DogPAC as well, with dog owners paying $2 each to enter the hot dog races, timed fetching competitions both in the river and on dry land, and a lure chase, where dogs raced after a lure dragged through the grass on a mechanically retracting cord.

Bowman hydropower proposal moves ahead; ‘Wild and Scenic’ hurdle remains

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

Portland General Electric would like the public’s input as it prepares an application to build a hydropower facility at Bowman Dam near Prineville.

The power company expressed interest in the site more than a year ago but faces one main hurdle: The area is currently protected by the federal Wild and Scenic River designation.

The power plant would be the power company’s smallest, but could produce enough electricity to power about 4,500 homes.

“It’s an attractive project,” said Steve Corson, a spokesman for Portland General Electric. “It’s

something that would provide a source of renewable energy, and something we think would be beneficial for customers and fit in well with the existing uses of the dam.”

Corson said the company is working with local irrigation districts and wildlife officials on the project. He said the hydropower project would not impact the flow or temperature of the river. The site is ideal because there is good access to a transmission line and a predictable water flow.

“It seems like a good fit, one that is beneficial for the region and our customers,” he said.

“There really is no downside.”

Community members will have a chance to say whether they agree with Corson this Tuesday at 9 a.m. at the Crook County Library in Prineville.

Corson said the meeting will be informal and is not required as part of the licensing application, but the power company wants to have the public’s input as it starts to move forward with its application.

The Wild and Scenic River designation for the Crooked River is right in the middle of the dam.

The Federal Power Act prevents any development of hydropower in national parks and Wild and Scenic Rivers.

Celeste Miller, a spokeswoman

with the Federal Energy Regulatory Council, said Portland General Electric applied for a preliminary license to build on the dam, but it was rejected because of the designation, she said.

Crook County Judge Mike McCabe said he’s excited about the project and hopes it brings some construction jobs to the county.

“We think they are good neighbors, and they are going to try and figure out a way to contribute to the county and city,” McCabe said. “I don’t know what that looks like yet, but we’ve been working with them for many, many months, and they’ve been great to work with.”

Intense drug treatment a success so far for Eastern Oregon inmates

By Ed Merriman The Baker City Herald

BAKER CITY — Robert Chance had little hope of ever breaking a cycle of drug addiction, crime and prison until a judge ordered him to serve his third stint in prison at the Powder River Correctional Facility in Baker City.

At Powder River, Chance and other inmates get drug and alcohol treatment through New Directions Northwest, which provides those services under contract with the Oregon Department of Corrections. “The other night I had a client inmate come in and thank us for the program we have at Powder River. He said it had saved his life, and he went on to say that his children want to thank us too, because now they have their dad back,� said Shari Selander, incoming director of New Directions Northwest.

Selander said the intense drug and alcohol treatment program typically lasts about six months and is designed to give inmate cli-

“(The inmate) said it had saved his life, and he went on to say that his children want to thank us too, because now they have their dad back.� — Shari Selander, incoming director of New Directions Northwest ents the skills and knowledge to break out of the cycle of addiction and crime, and go out into the community to be successful. “Going through the intense program allows them to look deep inside themselves and look at the choices they’ve made in life, and where those choices have got them today,� Selander said. “Now they have a second chance of turning their lives around, and being able to live out their dreams and find success in areas that were lost.�

Some of the inmates undergoing drug and alcohol treatment at Powder River and other prisons have had mental health issues that went undiagnosed, so at some point in their lives

they started self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, and wound up addicted. “Drug and alcohol problems were a factor in 80 percent of the criminal cases that got them here.

That’s why it is so important that the state of Oregon continue to implement these drug and alcohol programs with the prisons,�

Selander said.

Most of the 271 inmates at Powder River also get basic work experience doing kitchen duty, janitorial, laundry and groundskeeping jobs, but a select few land jobs working in the physical plant where they can learn electrical, carpentry and plumbing skills, or manufacturing computer printer cartridges in a shop operated in-

side the prison by Step Forward Activities. “People who say rehab doesn’t work need to look at the program we run in Baker City,� said Gene Button, executive director at Step Forward Activities. “It does work,� Button said. “We follow up with the people who work for us in prison. We give them a work reference, and we help place them into viable jobs when they get out.�

He said the company’s followup data shows that 88 percent of the ex-convicts who worked for Step Forward assembling printer cartridges were employed one year after their release.

That figure is more than double the 40 percent rate of employment nationwide among the general prison population, Button said. “Eighty-eight percent of the people who went through our program are now drawing a paycheck and contributing thousands of dollars in taxes, instead of sitting inside a prison costing taxpayers thousands of dollars,�

Button said.

But the 93,000-acre complex has provided steady jobs in a recession that makes it difficult for even highly educated refugees fluent in English to get hired.

Conversely, with the immigration status of industrial farmworkers across the nation coming into sharper focus, legal political refugees offer another option for employers.

Shiwakoti, 21, started the day with tearful good-byes to his mother and sister in the parking lot of their Boise apartment complex. He was still grappling with where his journey from South Asia to America had now taken him.

“It’s very sad, you know, it’s very hard to leave each other,” Shiwakoti said.

His family fled Bhutan under threat of death, left the Nepalese refugee camp for a better life in America, and traded their new life in Arizona for the cheaper cost of living in Idaho.

Rural sanctuary And here, in rural northeastern Oregon, the refugee group had found employment for Shiwakoti, his dad and six other refugees at the giant dairy in the Columbia River Basin. He would take his next steps into the American work force wearing a pair of child size 6 rubber boots purchased at a Walmart stop in Pendleton.

Shiwakoti and his father, 48year-old Bhola Shiwakoti, went to the Boise office of the International Rescue Committee seeking help several weeks ago — but they didn’t anticipate this.

“Boise just started bleeding jobs,” said Lana Whiteford, a hiring specialist for International Rescue. “Hotels and restaurants just didn’t need us anymore.”

A livestock manager at Threemile Canyon Farms heard about the refugees’ employment plight on public radio two years ago and contacted Whiteford. Since January 2009, she has helped about 45 refugees get jobs at Threemile Canyon and find affordable housing in nearby Boardman.

The dairy with a predominantly Hispanic work force now employees refugees who escaped political and ethnic persecution in Burma, Sudanese who fled genocide, Iraqis who were forced to leave their war-torn country for both religious and political reasons, and Somalis who left their country because of ongoing strife and bloodshed.

Shiwakoti and his father are among the ethnic Nepalis who’ve fled Bhutan since the early 1990s, leaving amid threats that those who stayed would be burned to death in their homes.

The men joined a third refugee from Nepali, two men from Burma and three from Somalia in this latest group ferried on the four-hour drive through rural Eastern Oregon countryside.

As Whiteford brought the rented sport utility to a stop in front of a large warehouse at the dairy, the men hopped out. Shiwakoti wrinkled his nose as the thick smell of manure washed over him.

“Perfume?” Shiwakoti joked.

The men filed into the building to do paperwork, and later were taken to a clinic for drug testing.

In a small waiting room, 22year-old Abdi Abdikadir tried to contemplate what his life would

be like in Boardman, a rural town of less than 5,000 people. He decided not to worry.

“We’re too young to think about our life right now,” said Abdikadir, nodding toward the two other refugees from Somalia, Abdi Abdullah and Ahmed Omar.

Their paths crossed several years ago in Kakuma, a city of refugee camps in Kenya.

In the past five years, Abdikadir has worked as a janitor and a fast-food cook. He’d quit his last job at an onion plant and hadn’t found work again until now.

“It’s been hard for the past two years,” Abdikadir said. “Right now, there is nothing.”

Fitting in On a tour of the milking parlor, where he and the other new workers will likely end up, Abdikadir couldn’t suppress his laughter at the dozens of cows standing up on giant industrial merry-go-rounds, machines that allow the workers to quickly milk thousands of animals every 12 hours.

The work is difficult, and for the first two weeks their shoulders will most likely ache with soreness, said Ibraham Hassan, a 34-year-old from Darfur who has been working at the dairy for four months.

There is a simplicity to the lifestyle, Hassan said, the repetition of getting up every morning and driving 20 miles to the dairy, coming home to shower and eat, and then going to bed. But he misses living in a city, hearing conversations in English.

“Here, it’s all in Spanish,” Hassan said.

He lives in a modest apartment with blank white walls. He shares a bedroom with another worker, watches a small television that sits on the floor.

The International Rescue Committee has gone to great lengths to facilitate the refugees’ presence at the dairy, securing housing and transportation them.

Even so, there was initial backlash to their presence in Oregon.

Threemile Canyon Farms was asked why the dairy was taking

on refugee employees when the Portland unemployment rate had climbed into the double digits, said Human Resources Manager Rose Corral. She said she told critics they should apply for the jobs if they didn’t want refugees to take them.

“We were happy to get anybody that would come and apply, and we just didn’t get people,” Corral said.

As the new group of workers settled in for their first night in Boardman, Whiteford made plans to pick them up the next morning for their first day of work.

Shiwakoti took off his new shoes and played music while his father sat on the kitchen floor skinning a chicken they’d eat for dinner. The men were tired but appeared to be in good spirits.

“I’m just thinking, this is my dream,” Shiwakoti said. “I’m living my dream.”

Cathy Stepp says she and her 12-year-old son Colton both carry firearms with them when they travel on their property.

Stepp raises sheep, and she’s lost five ewes to cougars since June.

Y E S T E R D AY

For the week ending Aug. 14, 1910 HARRIMAN HEAD TOURS OREGON “If the country will produce traffic to support railroads, I think we ought to build the railroads,” said President Lovett, of the Harriman system, in Bend yesterday. He put special stress on the “we,” meaning the Harriman interests. “I had never personally examined Interior Oregon,” he continued, “and am taking this trip for the purpose of looking into native conditions and getting acquainted with the country. I find there is plenty of it.

“I wanted more particularly to get an idea of the route of our proposed line between Ontario and Odell (Crescent). We have a preliminary survey for a line there.

We may build there, or we may change the line materially.”

“Is there a possibility that your line to Ontario may join our northand-south line at Bend?”

“I don’t believe I ought to discuss that,” was the noncommittal answer.

“This country will have transportation soon. I know of work now under way. We are already committed to construction of a line from the Columbia to this vicinity, and we are building the Natron-Klamath road. Beyond these no announcements are yet ready. Clearly the present is not a good time to float railroad securities, and the raising of money for new enterprises is something of a problem. Everything will doubtless work out in its time, but it is not quite wise to promise too much for the future. I must say that the agricultural value of the region we have traversed does not seem to me above question. Of course there will be other traffic.

The party is traveling in three Pierce-Arrow cars. They had started at Ontario last Saturday and traversed the Harney valley, thence to Lakeview and Paisley, and Summer, Christmas and Silver lakes to Bend. Here they stopped a couple of hours for lunch, part of the party being entertained at A.M. Drake’s and part at A.M. Lara’s, and then they continued on to Prineville. From there today they will drive across the Cascades to Lebanon and go thence to Portland. They are filled with admiration of Bend. Even the railroad attorney, Mr. Cotton, who pleads guilty to the charge of being an alfalfa crank, now admits that the Deschutes country may be a successful alfalfa producer.

labor. Similar action to cope with the liquor and transient problem has been taken in Klamath Falls and, according to information received here, the situation has been greatly relieved by the work order.

Local people who get into trouble generally pay their fines, it has been found, but the transients elect to spend several days as the guests of the city in jail.

The total number of arrests for the four-day period reached 22 early this morning when Edward Martin was arrested on an intoxication charge. Pete West was arrested yesterday on a similar charge, fined $10 and given a 10day work sentence.

Sixteen out of the 22 arrests were on intoxication accounts, according to records in the local police station.

PELICAN BRAVES WRATH OF MIRROR POND SWANS Bend residents who live near this city’s waterfront early this afternoon were eagerly awaiting a meeting between “Clyde,” pugnacious Mirror Pond swan, and a visiting pelican. Shortly after the noon hour today, the big-billed bird, probably a visitor from the Klamath Lakes, was cruising leisurely around the Mirror Pond still unsighted by “Clyde.”

Pelicans have visited the Mirror Pond before, but never remained long, due to the animosity of the battling swan.

SPORTS TALK

By Bill Thompson Jim Crowell, who’s helped us out a lot this summer in the photography and news departments and has been a great aid in the sports department, has taken the post of sports editor at the La Grande Evening Observer.

Jim, who has tremendous enthusiasm for sports, will be working under Riley Allen, another former Bulletin employee who’s now publishing the Observer.

A recent University of Oregon graduate, Jim majored in education, but has the writing bug.

We tried to discourage Jim, noting what a good deal educators have with newspapers always plugging for higher teaching salaries.

“I’ve yet to see a group of teachers get together and fight for higher pay for reporters,” I kidded Jim. But the guy went ahead anyway. And with his enthusiasm he’ll probably keep going ahead ... teachers or not.

HARD LABOR AWAITS DRUNKS, SAYS CHIEF Twenty-two arrests in four days, a new high reached since the passing of prohibition, have resulted in the announcement from Chief of Police Kenneth McCormick that from now on hard labor will face those convicted in municipal court.

In the past, many of those unable to pay their fines have served out their time in the city jail, with good meals and comfortable beds provided. Transients, it appears, have liked the local accommodations.

However, from now on there are to be no “vacations” in the Bend jail and all will have to do hard manual

FRIENDLY ‘SISTERS’ HOSTESSES FOR GIRLS

gust stars, they will sleep close to the mountains pioneers knew long ago as Faith, Hope and Charity. They will return to this base camp Sunday, and it is expected many will have stories of adventures in the high country where glaciers cover mountain slopes once flooded by lava.

Early Tuesday, leaders will check at mountain camps with the various patrols from the troops to make sure all is well. Then the girls will be on their own.

But every precaution has been taken to make certain that, if anything should go wrong, there will be speedy aid or rescue. Rim Rock Riders and their wives of Bend are riding the perimeter of the wilderness area in pairs. Special radio broadcasting sets assigned civilian bands have been set up, but are to be used only in emergencies. A lookout high on Tumalo Mountain in the daylight hours will be alert for the flash of a mirror that might signal trouble.

As a big moon, full that day, pulsed up from the east in a gap north of Tumalo Mountain, the girls and their leaders joined in a colorful campfire program that held a surprise — the presentation to each of the 114 girls of fluffy, doll-sized Smokey Bears. They were a gift to the girls by the lumber interests of the Bend area.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Aug. 14, 1985 KIDS MUST BUCKLE UP (Editorial) The Oregon Legislature, despite the overwhelming evidence that seat belts save lives and reduce injuries, failed this year to pass a mandatory seat belt law.

Failed, that is, to order the protection of the state’s adults. It did agree to require children under the age of 16 to use seat belts, beginning Sept. 29.

(We don’t buy the argument — sold to the House when the original bill to require seat belt use by nearly everyone was being discussed — that making the use of seat belts mandatory is an impingement upon personal freedom. The state and federal governments, after all, build and maintain the highways on which we drive.

The state licenses users of the automobiles, trucks and other vehicles that travel those highways.

The government, in many cases, picks up part of the medical tab when someone is seriously injured in a car wreck. In our opinion that gives the state the right to say we must do certain things to make the roadways safer for all of us.)

The new law amounts to an extension of one passed two years ago. That measure required that small children use approved safety restraints when traveling. And policemen throughout Oregon have shown themselves willing to ticket adults whose children have not been properly buckled up.

They can be expected to take a similar stand when the new bill goes into effect. More than almost any segment of society, police know what too often happens to passengers when they’re involved in a car wreck, and the sight isn’t pretty.

New York Times News Service

TOKYO — Japan has long boasted of having a population with many of the world’s oldest people — testament, many here say, of a society with a superior diet and a commitment to its elderly that is unrivaled in the West.

That was before the police found the body of a man thought to be one of Japan’s oldest, at 111 years, mummified in his bed, dead for more than three decades.

His daughter, now 81, hid his death to continue collecting his monthly pension payments, the police said.

Alarmed, local governments began sending teams to check on other elderly residents. What they found so far has been anything but encouraging.

A woman thought to be Tokyo’s oldest, who would be 113, was last seen in the 1980s.

Another woman, who would be the oldest in the world at 125, is also missing, and probably has been for a long time.

When city officials tried to visit her at her registered address, they discovered that the site had been turned into a city park, in 1981.

The authorities have been unable to find more than 281 Japanese who had been listed in official records as 100 years old or older. Facing a growing public outcry, the country’s health minister, Akira Nagatsuma, said officials would meet with every person listed as 110 or older to verify that they are alive; Tokyo officials made the same promise for the 3,000 or so residents listed as 100 and up.

The national hand-wringing over the revelations has reached such proportions that the rising toll of people missing has merited daily, and mournful, front-page coverage. “Is this the reality of a longevity nation?” lamented an editorial last week in The Mainichi newspaper, one of Japan’s biggest dailies.

Among those who officials have confirmed is alive: a 113-year-old woman in the southern prefecture of Saga believed to be the country’s oldest person, at least for now.

The soul-searching over the missing old people has hit the rapidly graying country — and tested its sense of self — when it is already grappling with overburdened care facilities for the elderly, criminal schemes that prey on them and the nearly daily discovery of old people who have died alone in their homes.

For the moment, there are no clear answers about what happened to most of the missing centenarians. Is the country witnessing the results of pension fraud on a large scale,

“This is a type of abandonment, through disinterest. Now we see the reality of aging in a more urbanized society where communal bonds are deteriorating.”

— Hiroshi Takahashi, professor, International University of Health and Welfare

or, as most officials maintain, was most of the problem a result of sloppy record keeping? Or was the whole sordid affair, as the gloomiest commentators here are saying, a reflection of disintegrating family ties, as an indifferent younger generation lets its elders drift away into obscurity?

“This is a type of abandonment, through disinterest,” said Hiroshi Takahashi, a professor at the International University of Health and Welfare in Tokyo. “Now we see the reality of aging in a more urbanized society where communal bonds are deteriorating.”

Officials here tend to play down the psychosocial explanations. While some older people may have simply moved into care facilities, they say, there is a growing suspicion that, as in the case of the mummified corpse, many may already have died.

Officials in the Adachi ward of Tokyo, where the corpse was found, said they grew suspicious after trying to pay a visit to the man, Sogen Kato. (They were visiting him because the man previously thought to be Tokyo’s oldest had died, and they wished to congratulate Kato on his new status.)

They said his daughter gave conflicting excuses, saying at

first that he did not want to meet them, and then that he was elsewhere in Japan giving Buddhist sermons. The police moved in after a granddaughter, who also shared the house, admitted that Kato had not emerged from his bedroom since about 1978.

In a more typical case that took place just blocks from the mummified man’s house, relatives of a man listed as being 103 years old said he had left home 38 years ago and never returned.

The man’s son, now 73, told officials that he continued to collect his father’s pension “in case he returned one day.”

“No one really suspects foul play in these cases,” said Manabu Hajikano, director of Adachi’s resident registration section. “But it is still a crime if you fail to report a disappearance or death in order to collect pension money.”

Some health experts say these cases reflect strains in a society that expects children to care for their parents, instead of placing them in care facilities.

They point out that longer life spans mean that children are called upon to take care of their elderly parents at a time when the children are reaching their 70s and are possibly in need of care themselves.

Drought and bark beetles plague Ashland’s Douglas firs The Associated Press ASHLAND — A dry winter in Ashland could bring about drought conditions, and that’s bad news for the Douglas firs plagued by bark beetles in the city’s watershed.

Douglas firs in the area have suffered from periodic droughts since the late 1980s, with drought spells between the late 1980s and early 1990s, a part of the mid-1990s and between 2001 and 2002. Firs on southand northwest-facing slopes have suffered the most.

nation. Estimates suggest if voters had rejected the aquatic center, it could cost as much as $3.4 million to cap the contaminated area with clean soil. By combining the asbestos cleanup with construction of the aquatic center and placing buildings, landscaping and parking lots on top of the contaminated soils, the additional cost drops to around $350,000.

In late July, the owners association filed suit against the U.S. government and past owners of the Sunriver property, seeking damages to offset the cost of addressing the asbestos contamination.

Banjo player finds rewards in Northwest care centers

By Jennifer Moody Albany Democrat-Herald

ALBANY — The bottom line, says musician Dylan Horst, is that it’s easy to do something good.

The 24-year-old California resident is spending a month traveling around the Pacific Northwest, playing his banjo at nursing homes and assisted living centers. In the past five years, he has played close to 250 shows for seniors, most of them for free.

It’s a way to see the country and to be of service while he waits for his “first wave” of post-college job applications to bear fruit. Some care centers book him for a fee, which helps keep him in gas and banjo strings.

“When I started out, I didn’t have any equipment or anything.

I had never played for anybody in my life,” he said. “But when I started, I could tell the effect; the gratification you can get from doing something really simple. It doesn’t take much, and it feels really good.”

On Aug. 7, he made a stop at The Villas in Albany. About 25 people listened as Horst picked (and grinned) his way through folk songs by Woody Guthrie and Jimmie Rodgers, and singalongs such as “Goodnight, Irene.”

“Nobody told me it’d be this hot up here in Oregon. Thought I’d

be wading through the snow,” he quipped during one break. “I’m from California. Only a Californian would say that.”

Horst grew up in San Luis Obispo listening to his father play the guitar. His favorites were old country tunes, which he eventually taught himself to play.

About age 15, Horst went to a bluegrass festival and saw a banjo played live for the first time. From then on, he said, “I knew that’s what I was going to play.”

Horst was a senior in high school when a friend’s greatgrandmother was hospitalized.

Practicing his banjo, Horst was struck by the thought that he could go and play for her. Another friend with a guitar agreed to go along.

The two arrived a few hours too late: the great-grandmother had passed away. But even though Horst didn’t perform that day, the experience left a lasting impression.

At some care centers, the audience members have been robbed over time of the mental and physical ability to react. Some sleep.

Others sit in stony silence.

But others beam all through Horst’s shows, coming up afterward to press his hand and tell him stories of their childhood, their jobs and the way the music touched them.

tween June 2009 and June 2010.

“Dead trees are a natural part of forests,” said Small Woodland Services owner Marty Main. “The concern is that we have so many of them that it’s outside the norm. It sure is a lot of mortality.”

If the trees’ mortality rate increases, the city may remove them with a helicopter, something it did in 2004 because of similar conditions. The number of dead trees this year is about one-fourth the number dead in 2004, when there was “a sea of dead trees” in one area, according to the Small Woodland Services report, released in June.

Main attributes much of the

mortality to fewer forest fires in the past 150 years. Forest fires burned every 10 to 15 years and thinned out the weaker Douglas firs, said Chris Chambers, forest resource specialist with Ashland Fire & Rescue.

The thinning process left more moisture and space for healthy trees. When the trees die from bark beetle infestation, the remaining dead leaves and trunks can serve as fuel and increase the danger of forest fires.

“It’s like nature’s saying, ‘Well, they’re not going to let me burn it, so I’ll try this on it, and one way or another we’re going to reduce the number of trees in the forest,’” Chambers said.

James William Karns, age 82, passed away July 24, 2010, at the Veterans Hospital in Roseburg, Oregon, having lost his courageously-fought battle with Alzheimer's disease.

He had been a realtor, contractor, and owner of Allstate House in James Karns Moving Bend, OR. In 2001, he and his ex-wife, Donna Karns, moved to Grants Pass, Oregon.

He is survived by three daughters, two grandchildren, as well as Donna McMahon Karns, and step-sons, Michael and Paul McMahon, all of whose lives were greatly enriched by his presence.

Abbey Lincoln, introspective jazz singer New York Times News Service Abbey Lincoln, a singer whose dramatic vocal command and tersely poetic songs made her a singular figure in jazz, died Saturday in Manhattan. She was 80 and lived on the Upper West Side.

Her death was announced by her brother David Wooldridge.

Lincoln’s career encompassed outspoken civil rights advocacy

in the 1960s and fearless introspection in more recent years, and for a time in the 1960s she acted in films with Sidney Poitier.

Long recognized as one of jazz’s most arresting and uncompromising singers, Lincoln gained similar stature as a songwriter only over the last two decades. Her songs, rich in metaphor and philosophical re-

flection, provide the substance of “Abbey Sings Abbey,” an album released on Verve in 2007. As a body of work, the songs formed the basis of a three-concert retrospective presented by Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2002.

Her singing style was unique, a combined result of bold projection and expressive restraint. Because of her ability to inhabit the

emotional dimensions of a song, she was often likened to Billie Holiday, her chief influence. But Lincoln had a deeper register and a darker tone.

“Her utter individuality and intensely passionate delivery can leave an audience breathless with the tension of real drama,” Peter Watrous wrote in The New York Times in 1989.

Richie Hayward, one of the founding members of Little Feat, had been suffering from liver cancer and died Thursday at a hospital near Vancouver, Canada, after complications of pneumonia. He was 64.

Drummer Richie Hayward integral to eclectic Little Feat

By Dennis McLellan Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Richie Hayward, the drummer and a founding member of Little Feat, a celebrated rock band that arrived on the music scene in Los Angeles with its distinctively eclectic sound in the early 1970s, has died. He was 64.

Hayward, who had liver cancer, died Thursday of complications from pneumonia in a hospital near Vancouver, Canada, said Bridget Nolan, a publicist for the band.

“He was a great drummer, and he was very much integral to Little Feat’s sound,” singersongwriter Jackson Browne, who first met Hayward about 40 years ago, told the Los Angeles Times on Friday. “It’s hard to imagine another drummer making that music because it’s very inventive.”

Formed in 1969 — its original members, including singersongwriter and guitarist Low-

“He was a great drummer, and he was very much integral to Little Feat’s sound. It’s hard to imagine another drummer making that music because it’s very inventive.”

— Jackson Browne, singer-songwriter ell George, keyboardist Bill Payne, bassist Roy Estrada and Hayward — Little Feat became known for its mix of rock, country, blues, folk, jazz and funk.

The band’s self-titled 1971 debut album featured songs such as “Strawberry Flats,” “Willin’,” and “Hamburger Midnight.”

“Through its first five albums, Little Feat has been thought of as a cult band, as influential musicians’ musicians and as one of Warner Bros. Records’ ‘prestige acts,’” Richard Cromelin, former Times pop music writer, wrote in 1977. “Critical praise has been lavish, particularly in England where the L.A.-based band is

regularly hailed as the premier American group of the decade and major rock stars like Elton John proclaim its brilliance.”

And yet, Cromelin wrote, “the cash registers have been excruciatingly silent.”

The band, whose “Dixie Chicken” was one of its bestknown songs, broke up after George died of a heart attack at age 34 while on a solo tour in 1979. But the band reunited in 1988.

“I never thought we’d get back together,” Hayward told the Intelligence Journal, a Lancaster, Pa., newspaper in 2004. “Everyone had gone their separate

ways. It seemed like everybody was going to continue doing that. We were all doing OK, but we weren’t doing our own thing like we are now, which is much better. It’s what we all kind of secretly wanted.”

Hayward’s “deep, funky groove and vibrant rock ’n’ roll energy” — as an online obituary in Modern Drummer put it — led to his playing drums on numerous recording sessions and live performances with artists such as Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Robert Palmer, Robert Plant and Bob Seger.

Hayward also played briefly with the Fraternity of Man before joining Little Feat.

“My style has grown with the band,” he said in a 1995 interview with Modern Drummer. “It started out heavily influenced by blues, rock ’n’ roll and jazz.

Then it got more specific as I got into other kinds of American folk music and other roots music.”

German street musician Bruno S. went on to star in film

By Douglas Martin New York Times News Service

He wrote songs and sang them on the streets of Berlin. One told of a poor boy who grows up wishing for a little horse. The horse arrives years later pulling his mother’s hearse.

The man who sang it in a croaky voice, accompanying himself on the accordion and glockenspiel, was known as Bruno S. He was a street musician, a painter of pictures, a forklift operator in a steel mill and, at one time, a mental patient. But, perhaps most remarkably, he was the lead actor in a movie that won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1975.

His full name, which he seldom used, was Bruno Schleinstein. He died Wednesday at the age of 78 in Berlin, according to the German Press Agency, quoting his friend the artist Klaus Theuerkauf.

Werner Herzog, one of the innovators of postwar German cinema, twice in the 1970s cast Bruno to play pretty much himself — a damaged but somehow transcendent character.

The first of those films, the one that won at Cannes, was “The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser” (1974), based on a true story. In the film the character played by Bruno appears in a square in 19th-century Nuremburg. He cannot speak and can barely stand, having appar-

ently been kept in a kind of dungeon. The only clue to his identity is a paper giving his name as Kaspar and asking that he be taken into service as a soldier.

Kaspar is taught to speak and to read and write, and then, in a fashion as mysterious as his appearance, he is murdered.

Bruno’s acting moved Richard Eder of The New York Times to write: “Kaspar’s extraordinary face, his eyes strained wide to see better, his whole posture suggesting a man trying to swallow, trying to grasp a world of strangeness, is the film’s central image.”

As he learns to speak, Kaspar finds much of society repulsive.

“Every man is a wolf to me,” he says. He has no ego: “Nothing lives less in me than my life.”

“The story of Kaspar is more fascinating than the story of Jesus Christ,” Anais Nin was quoted as saying in an advertisement for the film.

Bruno Schleinstein was born

on June 2, 1932, most likely in Berlin. Some accounts say his mother, a prostitute, had beaten him so badly when he was 3 that he became temporarily deaf. This led to his placement in a mental hospital, where he was the subject of Nazi experiments on mentally disabled children.

New stress added to heart of L.A. gridlock

By Adam Nagourney New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — The intersection of Interstate 405 and Sunset Boulevard, cutting through a prosperous stretch of rolling Los Angeles hills and estates, is notorious for its knots of traffic and frustrating delays. Traffic is so bad that it is hard to figure out how it could get any worse.

Well, a $1.3 billion highway reconstruction project that began with a blizzard of alarming detour signs the other day is about to make it much worse. And that has put a large part of this city on edge.

The goal would appear simple and even admirable: to add a 10mile car-pool lane on the 405, among the most reviled and traffic-snarled freeways in Los Angeles, as it approaches and rolls north over the Sepulveda Pass, connecting the city’s west side to the San Fernando Valley. But given the nature of this particular operation — basically open-heart surgery on the central circulatory system of this traffic-obsessed town — it is anything but.

What looms is an alleged three-year marathon of open and closed exit ramps, shut and narrowed lanes, banging overnight construction, detours sending traffic rumbling through some of the city’s most elegant neighborhoods, and a reminder of the price paid for the absence of meaningful public transit. It is all being chronicled in a stream of e-mail alerts and Twitter postings from transportation officials, who are doing what they can to keep everyone calm — with mixed success.

“It’s going to last for three years, but it’s going to take 23 years off my life,” said Jake Lawson, a 40-year-old actor who lives in the San Fernando Valley and now adds an hour to his regular trips to Santa Monica for acting auditions. “I’ve begun turning to my favorite radio station, contemporary Christian, so I can pray to the good Lord to just let me get through this as I’m sitting in traffic for three hours.”

There is nothing unusual about people in Los Angeles complaining about traffic (it’s not as if they would dare complain about the weather). But this construction project has an unusually broad reach, creating not one but two very distinct problems.

Trouble all over It is making the already impossible 405 even more impossible, creating headaches for northsouth commuters all along the west side of Los Angeles, from the San Fernando Valley to the South Bay beach towns, not to mention anyone trying to get to the Los Angeles airport, UCLA or the Getty Museum. An estimated 300,000 vehicles use the 405 to cross the Sepulveda Pass every day. (As is the case with most highways in Southern California, this one is referred to simply as “the 405,” rather than “Interstate 405” as it would be called in most other states.)

And it is narrowing, and at times closing, three bridges that carry surface streets over the 405, most significantly, the Sunset Boulevard bridge. An e-mail “notice of night construction” from the project managers on Wednesday informed residents that for six days this week, “Sunset Bridge may be intermittently closed between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. for equipment delivery.”

Sunset is the only remotely convenient way to travel from the exclusive part of town east of the 405 that includes communities like Bel Air and Beverly Hills to the similarly exclusive part of town west of the 405 that includes Brentwood, Pacific Palisades and, eventually, Malibu.

Wrongly convicted California man gets $7.95M settlement

By Rebecca Cathcart New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — A man who spent 24 years imprisoned for a murder he did not commit will receive $7.95 million from Long Beach after he sued the police there for withholding evidence in his 1980 trial.

The settlement, made public Thursday, is the largest pretrial settlement ever in California for a wrongful conviction and one of the largest in the country, said Barry Litt, a lawyer for the man, Thomas Lee Goldstein.

In 2004, Goldstein was freed from prison after the Los Angeles district attorney dismissed all charges against him in the 1979 killing of a Long Beach drug dealer. The move was based on new evidence that the police had coached the only witness in the case by pointing Goldstein out in a photo spread as a suspect who had failed a polygraph test.

Lawyers also presented evidence that the police had offered Eddy Fink, a heroin addict

and police informant, leniency in a grand theft conviction if he testified against Goldstein.

At the trial, Fink told the jury that Goldstein had confessed to the killing when the two men briefly shared a jail cell. Fink, who has since died, lied in court when asked if he had made any deal with the police before testifying, Litt said.

But Monte Machit, the Long Beach deputy attorney who defended the city in the case, said the police had not provided Fink “with any benefit in exchange for the information he offered.”

“We don’t believe there was any wrongdoing” by city officials, Machit said. “This is a lot of money, but in light of the potential verdict,” which could have been $24 million to $30 million and lawyers’ fees, he said, “we thought it better to get it resolved.”

Goldstein, 61, said the settlement was the end of a 30-yearlong “painful chapter” in his life.

A view of traffic on Interstate 405 in Los Angeles. A three-year, $1.3 billion highway reconstruction project is adding to the route’s chronic congestion. An estimated 300,000 vehicles use the 405 to cross the Sepulveda Pass every day.

And it is not just commuters.

Private elementary schools are considering how they are going to get school buses across another bridge on Mulholland Drive over Interstate 405 (sorry, the 405) in time for morning classes. Supporters of the Getty Museum are worried that visitors will find another museum to visit during the construction snarls.

Businesses anywhere near the 405 are understandably worried.

“I was very concerned about what was going on, given the scope and closure,” said Reginald Archambault, general manager of the Luxe Hotel on Sunset Boulevard.

“But I have to say that so far, it has been less impactful than we had feared, knock on wood.”

‘Just beginning’ And in a city where social cachet comes from knowing the latest surface-street shortcut, once isolated and peaceful neighborhoods are enduring an influx of vehicles searching for some new way to get home or to work.

Debbie Nussbaum, who lives in Westwood Hills — basically, ground zero for this project — said a driver lost in her neighborhood the other day went winging by at an excessive speed, clipped a bumper on a parked car and flipped over. Nussbaum said the woman had to be cut from the wreckage, but declined medical treatment and asked only for help in escaping the neighborhood and getting home.

“The commuters in L.A. felt that they really needed an extra lane going north,” she said. “Given that I live in the city, I didn’t think we really need it. On many days, we have gridlock through our neighborhood because they were detouring cars through our neighborhood.”

She added: “This is just beginning, and there’s like three years to go. They won’t give us the full schedule because they know we’d freak out, so they are like, for the next three months we are doing this.”

This project is being financed, in part, with federal stimulus money and is intended to complete a long-held goal: to have a nonstop car-pool lane on the 405 from the 10 on the south side of Santa Monica to the 101 in the Valley.

“If we didn’t do this, it would continue to be a nightmare,” said Michael Barbour, who is directing the project for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. “I think that message has gotten across to the locals. They understand it. They are sucking it up over the next three years, approximately. Some of them don’t see it as much as others.”

Barbara Broide, a member of

In addition to snarling traffic along the way, construction along Interstate 405 is worrying businesses and pushing commuters onto once-quieter thoroughfares.

the Westside Neighborhood Council, said she thought most motorists were well aware of what was unfolding. “We know there’s construction, and we know we should stay clear of it,” she said.

“There really isn’t any choice, is there?”

That said, there has always been a sizable contingent, including the author Joan Didion, who spent much of her adult life in Los Angeles, who question the value of even having a car-pool lane, calling it something that does not translate from the neat theory on an engineer’s drafting table to the complicated arteries of Los Angeles. Lawson clearly agrees with Didion on that.

“That car-pool lane — how many people in Los Angeles have the same schedule?” Lawson asked as he prepared for another expedition across the Sepulveda Pass. “None. The car-pool lane, in my opinion, just takes another lane of traffic away from everybody.”

Scientists control ebb, flow in Portland lake reclamation

By Eric Mortenson The Oregonian

PORTLAND — Smith and Bybee lakes in north Portland have endured their share of indignities at the hands of man.

Construction of the Willamette and Columbia river dams usurped their seasonal rise and fall. The lakes spent decades in the leaching shadow of the city’s garbage dump, the now-defunct St. John’s landfill. A botched management attempt in the 1980s drowned much of the ancient ash forest that lined the lakes. Today, the lakes lie pincered by industry, port terminals and rail lines that filled and flattened much of the surrounding wetlands.

Hindsight is 20-20, and the humming warehouses and shipping centers along North Marine Drive are crucial to the regional economy. But if wildlife biologists and wetlands managers could turn back time and avert the damage to the lower Columbia’s sloughs and marshes, they’d do it in a heartbeat.

Instead, in one small spot, they’re trying the next best thing.

Since 2003, specialists with Metro and other agencies and private groups have worked to re-create the flood-and-recede cycles that made Smith and Bybee a haven for birds, fish and native plants.

The highlight is a 30-foot watercontrol structure, designed by the conservation group Ducks Unlimited, that holds water in the lakes during the winter and lets it go during summer.

“We put our finger on what the essential natural processes are, and reproduce them, replicate them and try to restore them,” says Elaine Stewart, senior natural resource scientist with Metro.

For eons, winter rains and spring snowmelt recharged the lakes and wetlands each year.

Come summer, and into fall, the water level dropped. A habitat developed that was suited to the cycle. Ash trees, for example, adapted to having their roots and lower trunks submerged for months at a time, and then to drying out, as the water crept away in the heat of summer. An earthen dam built in the 1980s turned the lakes into year-round bass ponds, and the

constant high water killed hundreds of acres of ash forest before the mistake was realized.

The water-control structure has one-way gates that allow the Columbia’s tidal rise to enter the lakes and that hold the winter rain. A fish ladder allows young fish to find off-channel shelter.

At this time of year, workers remove boards at the top of the structure to allow the summer drawdown.

Tough to mimic The system is imperfect mimicry, Stewart says. Problems persist, especially with invasive plants that threaten to choke a channel connecting the lakes, but eagles, egrets and herons hunt the shores and shallows. A survey showed juvenile steelhead, chinook and coho salmon in the lakes. Turtles, beaver, muskrats, coyotes and deer abound.

“It was a very ambitious undertaking,” says Chuck Lobdell, conservation programs manager for Ducks Unlimited. “It took a long time, but what we did out there was absolute state-of-the-art conservation work.”

The water-control structure is the highlight, but other work also has enhanced the area. Metro moved the Smith and Bybee parking lot and relocated a canoe launch because the previous launch site took paddlers immediately through prime turtle basking areas. Turtles need basking time to charge their bodily systems, and disturbances weaken them.

Over the past 15 years, workers have replanted 100 acres of native vegetation. Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services “gets credit for some of the best work out here,” Stewart says, including planting ash trees 10 years ago.

The irony is that a distinctly wild place now thrives next to heavily developed industrial sites.

“In some ways, they’re really good neighbors,” Stewart says, leading a walk through chest-high grasses and pointing out healthy young ash trees. The commuting workers, trucks and trains come and go without venturing onto the wetlands, she says.

Other visitors, such as invasive

plant species, are much more problematic. Purple loosestrife, the bane of temperate wetlands, has a strong root-hold at Smith and Bybee. Reed canary grass is a recurring problem. And Kevin O’Sullivan, a longtime supporter of the place, recently complained that new plants have clogged the lakes’ connecting channel. In a July visit, he was unable to paddle through it and questioned whether Metro’s water-control structure works as it should.

“They’ve got it half right” by re-creating the winter floods, O’Sullivan says. “Now they’re allowing the water to drop so low, it’s giving these (invasive) plants a great opportunity to take over.”

A tour group from Portland Community College gets a closer look at a water-control structure that sits on Smith Lake in Portland. Since 2003, groups have worked to return Smith and Bybee lakes to the flood-and-recede cycles that made them a haven for birds, fish and native plants.

WHERE, OH WHERE ARE THE WHALES? Ocean giants prove elusive during trip to Depoe Bay

By John Gottberg Anderson • For The Bulletin DEPOE BAY — I’ve concluded that there is rarely such a thing as “whale watching.” More often than not, it’s “whale searching” or “whale seeking.”

By David Jasper The Bulletin

When a herd of 11 rare white buffalo living near the Grand Canyon needed a new home earlier this year, all signs seemed to point to Central Oregon, from the climate on down to Madras High School’s mascot being the White Buffalo, says Cynthia Hart Button, founding president of the nonprofit Sacred World Peace Alliance.

The herd was brought to Oregon in March, and the buffalo is now grazing at Pine Mountain Buffalo Ranch, located east of Bend near Pine Mountain. The Sacred World Peace Alliance is offering private viewings of the herd on Sundays through the

According to Button, her organization, which currently hangs

its hat in Bend, began as the Sacred World Peace Church. It adopted the “Alliance” name as it shifted its focus to green living, education and providing a sanc-

tuary for the white buffalo and endangered animals.

The white buffalo is considered a sacred symbol of peace and change among the Lakota and other American Indian tribes, according to Button, who says her father was a Lakota Indian named Uriah White Buffalo.

Parents’ manipulative TV picks: Roasting and food (but not at the same time) behavior threatens daughter’s marriage

By Chuck Barney

“Weeds” 10 p.m. Monday, Showtime Mary-Louise Parker remains smokin’ hot, but is “Weeds” still addictive? The sitcom launches what is sure to be another season of outrageous — and often ludicrous — stories.

Contra Costa Times

Dear Abby: My childhood was difficult. My mother was a bitter, unforgiving, jealous woman. My father traveled a lot for his business and just tolerated my mother when he was home. I decided to never have children to bring into this family.

When I first met Dave — my husband of 10 years — I told him my feelings. He said it was fine with him — he never had a strong desire to be a father. Until recently, our marriage has been a happy one.

After constant nagging by my mother about “When are you going to give me grandkids?” I lied and said that Dave had a low sperm count, and we wouldn’t be having any. Now Dave is no longer invited to their home for monthly Sunday dinners.

Mother is suggesting I divorce Dave and marry “someone who can give her grandchildren.”

Dave says that because he is “uninvited,” I shouldn’t go either. My father sides with my mother and says she’s a lonely person. He says he will change his will if I upset Mom by not visiting.

Abby, this has caused a real strain on our marriage. Please help.

— Nobody’s Mama in California Dear Nobody’s Mama: I’ll try.

The success of a marriage is not measured by the ability to produce grandchildren. If you hadn’t lied to your mother, she wouldn’t be blaming your husband for the fact that she doesn’t have any.

Tell her the real reason why you won’t be having children, and how she influenced that decision. Her treatment of your husband and her meddling in your marriage are outrageous.

Tell your father to keep his money, and if your mother is “lonely,” it’s HIS job to fill her empty hours. If you allow your

DEAR ABBY parents to continue to manipulate you, you will find yourself alone.

Dear Abby: My best friend, “Nancy,” is wonderful, generous and kind to everyone except her husband, “Ted.” She belittles, yells at and embarrasses him constantly.

Nancy has suggested that my boyfriend and I take a vacation with them, but I can’t stand hearing her constant criticism. Just having dinner with them is painful enough.

Ted is a nice guy who tries hard to please Nancy, but he can’t seem to do anything right in her eyes. Is there anything I can do or say to Nancy without offending her or sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong?

— Embarrassed in Virginia Dear Embarrassed: As I see it, you have two choices. Keep dodging your friend’s efforts to arrange a joint vacation, which will wear thin after awhile. Or, have a frank chat with her. Tell her — as gently as possible — that she may not realize how uncomfortable she makes others when they must witness her constant bickering with her husband, and until they mend fences, you and your boyfriend will be unavailable for vacations.

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

C4 Sunday, August 15, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Carrie Newell, with her dog Kida, greets visitors to her Whale Research EcoExcursions vessel.

A marine biologist who has spent 20 years studying gray whales, Newell has written a book in which she identifies more than 50 individual whales by their markings and behavior.

A Steller sea lion roars from atop the Whistle Buoy, a mile offshore from Depoe Bay. This endangered species, larger and blonder than the California sea lion, travels down the Pacific coast from Alaska in search of pollock, its dietary fish of choice.

Like father, like son: A young common murre trails its parent across the ocean waves. For three months after a chick has hatched, according to biologist Carrie Newell, the mother abandons her nest, leaving her offspring to be raised by its father.

Whales Continued from C1 Newell may be the foremost authority on Depoe Bay’s summer whale population. In her 2006 book, “A Guide to Resident Whales Along the Oregon Coast,” she identifies more than 50 individual whales by their markings and behaviors.

“Each one has a unique personality, just like humans,” she said.

During her pursuit of a doctorate in biological oceanography at Oregon State University, Newell discovered that tiny mysid shrimp, which swarm in offshore kelp beds, are the primary food in the gray whales’ diet.

This boosted her professional profile and led to her being featured in Jean-Michel Cousteau’s “Ocean Adventures” series on PBS television.

Newell’s Zodiac is a far cry from the motor yachts that serve most of Depoe Bay’s whale-watching clientele. Her little craft seats only six clients, with barely enough room left for herself and her dog. But in my opinion, a larger vessel would not have offered the same opportunity to get “up close and personal” with a gray whale.

When I boarded Newell’s Zodiac shortly after noon, joined by five other travelers (a friend from Bend and couples from eastern Washington and Oklahoma), our captain had just returned from a morning voyage during which she and her clients had “visited” with a gray whale she called Icecap. So certain was she that we would have the same experience, she held up a photograph of the huge mammal and instructed us to identify him by a pair of distinctive white patches in his dorsal hump area.

Unfortunately, a midday fog had already begun to roll in from the southwest. Several times in the morning, we were told, Icecap had breached (launched his body out of the water) and spyhopped (raised his head to peer above the surface) less than a half-mile offshore. This is stunning behavior in an animal that is 43 feet long and weighs about 40 tons.

She showed us examples of the crusty white barnacles and parasitic orange whale lice that are legion on whales’ bodies. She presented a vial of several mysid shrimp, the tiny translucent crustaceans — about a half-inch long, with eyes at the end of long stalks — upon which the baleen whales feed almost continually.

She described the whales’ proclivity for “sharking” while eating: They often roll on their sides and raise their 10-foot tail flukes above the water like a shark fin.

For these whales, Newell said, the Oregon coast is all gluttony.

“Gray whales eat nonstop for up to six months in Alaska and Oregon waters, and then fast for six months while in the Mexican lagoons,” she said. “The migrating whales are usually two to five miles offshore and cruise past our coast in a matter of minutes either on their way north or south. But our returning summer residents truncate their northern journey. They feed along the Oregon coast and rejoin the southbound whales to winter in Mexico.”

Our search for Icecap began with locating his blow, the expulsion of water through the vent atop the whale’s head. “A whale will dive for three to six minutes,” Newell said. “When it surfaces, it will blow three to six

times, about 45 seconds apart, before it dives again.”

About 50 yards in front of the Zodiac, we spotted the gray whale’s distinctive heart-shaped blow. “Oh, there he is!” Newell exclaimed. “I’ve got him! Hang on!” She revved up her motor and quickly moved in the direction of the spout.

As we did so, another whale — perhaps a smaller male named Deuce, who had also recently been seen in the area, Newell suggested — was feeding nearby. We twice caught a glimpse of his back during a shallow dive.

But that was the end of our whale sightings. Although she was in radiophone contact with a couple of other whale-watching boats, both Icecap and Deuce vanished for other feeding grounds.

We were left huddled in waterproof shells, life jackets and woolen blankets in a pea soup of clouds that sometimes didn’t even allow us a view of the Otter Crest headland less than a mile west of our waves.

You can’t see a whale blow in weather like this. We were left to depend upon other senses.

“In the fog, you’ll hear or smell a whale before you see it,” Newell said.

But the smell eluded us as well, and Newell was as frustrated as her clients. “If I don’t think I can find a whale, I’d rather cancel a trip than take people’s money,” she said.

Had we ventured out only to see other marine life, we would not have been disappointed.

California and Steller sea lions, harbor seals and scores of birds kept our attention even when the whales did not.

On Depoe Bay’s Bell Buoy, a half mile directly out to sea from the harbor entrance, a single California sea lion clung to the floating apparatus. Unsympathetically, Newell called him “a loser.”

“For every 30 male sea lions,” she explained, “one emerges as the alpha male, and he gets the harem. The other 29 are losers.

They head north from California to lick their wounds, eat our fish and perhaps try again next year. But once a loser, always a loser, it seems: The same animals return here year after year.” The one we were looking at, she said, was 8 or 9 years old; she could tell, she said, by the size of the horny protrusion on his forehead.

At least a half-dozen Steller sea lions crowded onto the Whistle Buoy, a full mile from the harbor entrance. Larger and blonder in color than the California sea lions, communicating with a roar rather than a bark, this endangered species is

dent along America’s Pacific coast. She showed us the pigeon guillemot, the red-necked phalarope, the common loon, Brandt’s and pelagic cormorants, and even a tufted puffin clinging to a buoy.

But her clear favorite, especially at this time of year, was the common murre. Newell explained that for three months after her chick is hatched, the mother abandons the nest to search for a good meal, leaving the juvenile to be raised by its father. Our boat passed several of the parent-and-child pairs, swimming side-by-side across the waves; whenever the father would briefly disappear as he dove for food, the chick would erupt into shrill cries.

found primarily in Alaska. It travels down the coast in summer to feed on pollock, whose numbers have been depleted from overfishing farther north, Newell said.

We found about 120 harbor seals basking on the rocks in Whale Cove, a picturesque inlet accessible only by sea about a mile south of Depoe Bay. Exhibiting a wide range of genetic color patterns, from white to dark brown to mottled gray, these playful animals are much smaller than sea lions. Newell pointed out that their ears are holes rather than flaps, and as they lack the strong front flippers of sea lions, they propel themselves through the water with their rear flippers and tails.

As we motored for miles through the Pacific waters, we also passed hundreds of birds, in the air and on the waves.

“There’s no such thing as a sea gull,” Newell was quick to point out as she identified the common Western gull, one of nearly two dozen species of gull resi-

Depoe Bay itself is a charming little town of 1,300, located on U.S. Highway 101 midway between Newport and Lincoln City, each of them a dozen miles distant. Its central feature is the 5.5-acre keyhole port, touted by the chamber of commerce as “the world’s smallest navigable harbor.”

It takes skill, strategy and perhaps a little luck to negotiate the narrow channel that links the harbor to the open ocean. About 100 feet long and no more than 50 feet wide (at high tide), the channel is surrounded by natural basaltic bluffs.

not a whale-watching cruise is on a visitor’s agenda, it’s a worthy stop. More than 2,000 sightings are recorded annually by a trained volunteer staff whose slogan is, “Whale watching spoken here.”

The Whale Center, as it is locally known, offers a 180-degree view of the Pacific with walls of glass that offer protection from the elements on inclement days.

There’s also a rooftop viewing area for sighting the marine mammals; 90 percent of them, a docent told me, are gray whales, but humpback whales and orcas (killer whales) may also be seen through the windows.

A small theater on the main floor shows a continual round of whale films, including the Cousteau production, “Gray Whale Obstacle Course,” in which Newell plays a major role. There’s a gift shop here, and children are entertained with hands-on education displays and the replica of a ship’s wheelhouse, complete with maps and charts.

The second-floor observation room has numerous historical photographs of early Depoe Bay on its walls. One exhibit explains that the town was named not for a supply depot, as is sometimes supposed, but after its first known resident, a Siletz Indian named Charles DePoe. Depoe Bay’s main street is U.S. Highway 101, with two blocks of colorful storefronts on its east side, facing the seawall and the crashing surf. Located immediately south of the Whale Center and the McCullough bridge, it features a variety of gift shops and small dining establishments, including my personal favorite: Gracie’s Sea Hag. A fixture on the coast since the 1960s, the Sea Hag serves three meals a day and has a

lively bar scene, especially when musician Michael Dane sits at his keyboard, Thursday through Saturday nights. And any evening, patrons are likely to hear the bar staff grab a pair of felt-tipped drumsticks to play “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” on the liquor bottles.

More upscale and genteel is Tidal Raves, at the north end of downtown beyond the seawall.

Owned by Jon Hamlin, who also established the High Tides seafood restaurant in downtown Bend, it’s a great place to plan a sunset dinner. My grilled mahimahi entree was delicious.

Although several lodging properties are strung along U.S. Highway 101 at either end of downtown, I chose to stay harborside at the Harbor Lights Inn. From the balcony of my room in this lovely 13-unit bedand-breakfast inn, I could enjoy changing views across the dozens of vessels in the port.

Unfortunately, there still was not a whale in sight.

On Facebook, everyone is a character in a novel

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, August 15, 2010 C7

SUDOKU Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.

By Katie Roiphe New York Times News Service

I have a feeling that if Andy Warhol were alive he would be spending the summer writing a novel that takes place in real time on Facebook. In that spirit, Lauren Mechling and Laura Moser have been writing a clever serialized novel on Slate called “My Darklyng.” Their innovation: The plot unfolds not just in text but on Facebook and Twitter.

For the purposes of what they affectionately call their “gonzo art project,” the veteran youngadult novelists Mechling and Moser created a fake Facebook page for their main character, 16year-old Natalie Pollock. What’s fascinating is that Natalie’s page may seem fake and stilted and artificial, but only in the way all teenagers’ Facebook pages seem fake and stilted and artificial.

Which is to say “My Darklyng” offers a brilliant commentary on how fictional teenagers are on Facebook. Their stylized, mannered projections of self are as invented as any in a novel. There are regional differences, of course, to the mannerisms, but there are certain common tics: Okayyyyyyyy.

Ahhhhhhh. Everything is extreme: So-and-so “is obsessed with.” So-and-so “just had the longest day EVERRRRRR.” They are in a perpetual high pitch of pleasure or a high pitch of crisis or sometimes just a high pitch of high pitch. Holden Caulfield might have called it “phoniness.”

A stage for the drama A 14-year-old I talked to about this sent me a message that pretty much sums it up: “I write more enthusiastically on Facebook than I actually am in real life. Like if I see something remotely funny I might say ‘HAHAHAHAHAH A H A H A H A H A H A H A H AHAHHA,’ when really there is no expression on my face.”

Another girl tells me she spends one, or maybe three, or maybe six hours a day on Facebook. She gets updates and messages to her phone during the schoolday, when she is not on summer vacation, hanging out on Facebook the way some people in a quaint and distant era might have hung out at a pool.

In the dark, medieval days before the Internet, teenagers were forced to scribble their stagiest experiments in selfhood in journals and notebooks, or to express themselves through their clothes.

The high drama was the same, the amped-up, overstated processing of life the same, but the media available were inferior. How amazing to be able to tell your 1,344 closest friends, “Guess who I saw at the Apple store? I died it was so awkward!!!!!!!” Or “I am so freaked out and excited about tomorrow I can’t stop eating, are you

Buffalo Continued from C1 “In 1988, before he died, he said, ‘One day you’re going to have to protect white buffaloes, and you’re going to have to deal with these white buffaloes,’” she says. “He was in the hospital dying of cancer, and I just thought it was the drugs they gave him.”

In 2000, while driving with her husband in Arizona, she followed a road sign for “White Buffalo.” When they arrived at the 5-acre ranch, she met the herd’s original caretakers, Jim and Dena Riley. “(Jim Riley) says, ‘Hey, welcome home to the white buffalo,’” Button recalls. “I ended up ... working there and started to become their protector. And I’ve been with them ever since. Kind of a crazy story, but it’s the real one,” she says, laughing.

After Jim Riley died of a heart attack in 2008, “Dena was kind of left on her own. We were going to do some fundraising to help her raise money.”

Eventually, Dena Riley “decided to put the buffaloes into the alliance so that we could give educational programs,” says Button. “We kind of dropped the ‘Church’ a little bit ... so we kind of do the ‘Alliance’ more than we do a church, even though we are a Peace Church and we do support peace events, really what we’re focused on is the buffaloes.”

Uncommon genes The alliance was drawn to Central Oregon because of the presence of Alan Rousseau, who started the Pine Mountain Buf-

Erin Schrode and Hannah Grossman portray characters from “My Darklyng,” a serialized novel unfolding in text and on Facebook and Twitter, in photos on Facebook. experiencing this?” or “Robert in twilight is so ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Facebook gives the exhibitionism, the pure theater of those years, a whole other level of stage.

Blurred lines In “My Darklyng’s” intriguing meta-commentary, there is a certain cross-pollination of what might be considered real life and fiction. Mechling and Moser hired a 15-year-old, Hannah Grosman, to be featured in photographs and videos for the character Natalie’s Facebook page. There are real people commenting on Natalie’s page; Hannah uses one of the photos from a photo shoot of herself as Natalie with another actress as the profile picture on her real Facebook page. A video of a kiss at the World Cup was posted on Natalie’s page just minutes before one of Hannah’s real friends posted the same thing. So it is no longer art imitating life, or life imitating art, but the two merging so completely, so inexorably that it would be impossible to disentangle one from the other, rather elegantly making the point that these media, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, all this doodling in the ether, involve wholesale inventions of self, not projections.

One predominant fictional argot of Facebook for teenagers would be breathlessness or emphatic speech. Their pages are peppered with “Okkkkayyyyy” and “HAHAHAHA.” and “OMG!!!!!” Everything is louder, more ardent, capitalized. This is a way of dramatizing or raising the stakes on even the most inane or banal exchange.

Many, especially slightly older teenagers, seem to like to parody the Facebook norms even as they embrace them. The idea is that you are pretending to speak in the common language of Facebook, and are in fact speaking in that common language, but are

falo Ranch in 2000, according to the ranch’s website.

“We were invited by ... Rousseau to bring the white buffalo herd to Bend, and we found the high grasses, the beauty of the land and community ideal for these animals,” Button explains in publicity materials for the herd.

All buffalo are born red, then become brown, black or, most rarely, white, says Button. White animals sometimes result when buffalo are crossbred with cattle or yaks, says Button: “They’re called ‘beefalo’ or ‘yako.’” However, the alliance’s herd are DNA-tested American-Canadian bison, and they are not to be confused with albinos, she stresses.

Little is known about the genetics of the white buffalo, says Button.

According to the website sacredwhitebuffalo.org, the odds of one turning out white are about one in 10 million.

However, Jim Matheson of the National Bison Association says, “It’s a funny topic, because ... there’s really no data collected on the matter. It’s really difficult to cite a number; I think these numbers have been thrown around over the years. The bottom line is it’s extremely rare to have an authentically white buffalo. The numbers simply are not available to give you a 1-in-X amount of times that it occurs.”

Incidentally, Matheson has heard of this herd.

“At the National Bison Association, we don’t focus on white buffalo or that sort of thing. Our stance, officially, is we believe in bison being left bison, 100 percent. It sounds like this is a legitimate bison herd that happens to be white,” he says. “They said

aware of how unoriginal you are being; so when you write “omg” you are ironically commenting on the use of “omg,” but when other people write “omg” they are seriously saying “oh my God.” This very delicate balancing act is artful, in its way. Your character is now employing the cliches of the genre, but with satire, or maybe that would be satirrrrrrrrrre.

Our novels It is, in short, a brilliant stroke to use Facebook for novel writing, because in general Facebook feeds on fiction; it consumes it, and spits it out in every direction.

Being “friends” on Facebook is more of a fantasy or imitation or shadow of friendship than the traditional real thing. Friendship on Facebook bears about the same relation to friendship in life as being run over by a car in a cartoon resembles being run over by a car in life. Facebook is friendship minus the one-on-one conversation, minus the moment alone at a party in a corner with someone; Facebook is the chatter of a big party, the performance of public cleverness, the facades and fronts and personas carefully crafted, the one honed line, the esprit de l’escalier; in short, the edited version. Do you know anything at all about your Facebook friends? Do you, in spite of the “missssssssss you girlieeeee!!!!!” and the “I cantttttt believe you are going awayyyyyyyyyy,” care about all of them?

Somewhere in the gap between status posting and the person in their room at night is life itself.

So fiction is the right response, the right commentary, the right point to be making about who we are in these dangerously consuming media, in these easy addictive nano-connections.

It is not, alas, “The Sun Also Rises,” but Facebook is the novel we are all writing.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010: This year, events will delineate who is foe and who is friend. You might not think that information is important, or that you already know. Finding out the lay of the land is important, especially in a crisis. Invest in real estate, if possible. You could gain a lot of security in your life. You must do research to ultimately make the correct choices. If you are single, you could meet someone through your work. Enjoy dating and romance.

Others let you know how much they appreciate your time and focus. Someone you have felt pressure from finally seems satisfied. Tonight: Give quality time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH While others seem motivated and close to unstoppable, go off and enjoy yourself. Interestingly, when others see what a good time you are having, they want to join in! You might be hard to keep up with! Tonight: You are in the moment 100 percent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH A project can be a drag, but not with the company of a special friend or loved one.

Together you relax and enjoy each other’s company. What is clear is that you might have misread this person, and he or she you. Update your perspective.

Tonight: Make it an early night.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your inner child emerges, whether you are playing with kids or just kicking back. Make plans to get together with friends and enjoy a favorite pastime. Together you renew and feel revived.

Tonight: And the party continues.

Tonight: Let the good times roll.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Kick back, knowing you have had enough. Perhaps catching up on e-mail, doing some reading or just hanging with close family feels right. Remember, you don’t need to perform. Lose that thought. Tonight: Make it early.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Invitations come in left and right. You might already have plans but want to cancel them after you hear a certain invitation. Maybe you can squeeze them both in. Tonight: Clearly, where you are, the party is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH A responsibility dominates.

An older relative or friend appreciates a call, even if you cannot visit. You must deal with what is coming up, even if it means not going with a whimsy. Your instincts serve you well. Tonight: A force to be reckoned with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH An invitation to wander through a flea market or perhaps see an art show works. Get out of yourself. In another setting, you’ll laugh at how serious you have become.

Says Button, “We do know that the white gene is in the female. Whites can have a brown.

A white male and a white female can have a brown. We’ve actually had it happen. You can see one (at the ranch), and he’s black,” she says. “You just don’t know.

This is an all-new breed for us, and it’s all exciting. We have kept the breeds 100 percent pure.”

Third generation The herd started in Wyoming in 1997, when “Big Momma,” a brown buffalo still living among her fair-haired progeny, gave birth to “Miracle Moon,” which turned white shortly after its birth, explains Button.

Big Momma went on to give birth to three more white buffalo, including the first documented white male buffalo, named Arizona. Three from that generation parented white buffalo themselves. “We’re on the third generation ... and we’re getting ready to go on to our fourth generation,” says Button.

Pendleton Woolen Mills is making a white buffalo blanket using fibers from hair the buffalo shed annually. The blankets will be available from Sacred World Peace Alliance, which is currently looking for a permanent home for the herd in Oregon, says Button.

These plays are experienced, not seen In London, audience participation trend yields engaging, disturbing productions

By Ben Brantley New York Times News Service

LONDON — Scene 1, a night at the opera: Follow that naked countertenor! You are standing in a long, dimly lighted corridor in a vast office building, and you do not know, literally, which way to turn. Should you stick with the fast-walking, portly nude man with the high voice, who appears to be heading down the stairs, or pursue the mezzo soprano in the satin teddy, who is slinking around the corner? Maybe it’s better to look for the orchestra, which seems to have disappeared altogether. Decisions, decisions.

Scene 2, a day at the theater: You have no choice. You lie down on the gurney, as the doctor has told you. The gurney is pushed through an MRI scanner and — what’s this? — it keeps moving, through the wall, into a fetid Japanese restaurant (where the customers ignore you), through another wall and into a mechanic’s garage. You are unloaded next to a battered automobile, and a woman is suddenly yelling at you, asking why you still haven’t fixed her car.

It used to be easy being an audience member, when all that was demanded of you was to sit quietly and (if possible) pay attention.

The scenes described above come from two wildly popular shows that were staged this summer in different East London neighborhoods, far from the theatrical hub of the West End. People begged, fought and schemed to obtain tickets for these limited-run events. After all, they were shows that promised rare opportunities to be displaced, disoriented and quite possibly humiliated.

edy that keeps its audience on its feet and moving through deserted riverside buildings from midnight until dawn.

It was “Bum Bum” and “Malfi,” though, that received the most attention as emblems of a flourishing new cultural movement, one that purports to redefine what it means to be part of an audience in the early 21st century. And so it was to “Bum Bum” and “Malfi” I went, in search of enlightenment, which meant getting lost in the dark.

Orchestration

The first scene describes a moment — seconds, really — in the site-specific production by the English National Opera and the theater company Punchdrunk of “The Duchess of Malfi,” adapted as an opera from John Webster’s tragedy. The second chronicles a minute or two from “You Me Bum Bum Train,” a 40-minute work that its creators prefer be described as a “ride” instead of a play. These shows are almost antithetical in their cumulative effect.

“Bum Bum” puts you at the spotlighted center of a cast that can run into hundreds; “Malfi” underlines, in exasperating and tantalizing ways, your helplessness (and perhaps your guilt) as an anonymous, voyeuristic spectator. Variations on this dichotomy could be found throughout London this summer, from the One-on-One Festival at the Battersea Arts Center (where each of a host of mini-theatrical events had an audience of exactly one) to “Hotel Medea,” a six-and-a-halfhour retelling of Euripides’ trag-

Relatively recent antecedents to “Malfi” and “Bum Bum” may be found in the 1960s, when cultural orthodoxies were under heavy and contemptuous siege, and troupes like the Living Theater were notorious for theatrical events in which actors (sometimes naked) snaked and stormed their way through their audiences, stroking, shaking and clutching. Spontaneity — the seeming opposite of being well-rehearsed — was a watchword of such occasions; so was serendipity. The idea of happenings was that anything could happen. We would all find our primal selves and connect as we never had before; even if it wasn’t pleasant, it would be beautiful.

One of the first things to note about productions like “Bum Bum” and “Malfi” is that there is little about them that is truly spontaneous. They are as meticulously rehearsed and orchestrated as a $10 million Broadway musical. Nor are they, I think, ultimately created to startle audiences into fresh perceptions.

What they do instead is heighten, reflect and confirm the daily reality of an age ruled by interactive media, in which information is fragmented, attention spans are brief, and individual identity is fluid. More than any other productions I have seen here, these drew theatergoers mostly in their 20s and 30s. This makes sense, because the proper frame of reference for experiencing “Bum Bum” and “Malfi” isn’t that of other theater works. What comes to mind instead are YouTube, video games, Web surfing and watching television with a heavy thumb on the channel changer.

You are not, though, in control when you attend these productions; other hands are on the keyboard, as it were. When you arrive at the East London office building where “Bum Bum” takes place, the first thing you are asked to do is to give up any loose objects on your person — wallet, cell phone, keys, cash. There are practical reasons for this. Your body will be shaken, tossed and turned upside down in the journey that follows.

But you are also being asked to surrender your identity, the bet-

Claudia Huckle and Andrew Watts in “The Duchess of Malfi,” an opera in London in which audience members wear carnival masks and drift as they please from room to room, observing anonymously. ter to assume a new one. Once stripped of personal belongings (a quaint phrase), you sit in a wheelchair and are pushed into the first of a series of rooms, where a live supporting cast awaits you to assume the first of many personas: a cabinet minister at a press conference, for instance, or a cat burglar’s apprentice. The performers feed you your cues; what you say is up to you.

The last stop on the “Bum Bum” tour, after an ignominious descent down a chute and into a pile of garbage, is a karaoke bar where you are expected to pick up a microphone and sing the lyrics from a teleprompter. This seemed an appropriate conclusion, since “Bum Bum” is in essence a karaoke experience in which a clumsy instant stardom

is fleetingly achieved.

Created by Kate Bond and Morgan Lloyd, who have been producing different versions of this show since 2004, “Bum Bum” is surprisingly devoid of feelings of genuine threat, and possible hints of uncomfortable sexual metaphors are diffused early on. You are told in advance that you may quit the ride any time you like by giving a predetermined signal. And the performers who push and cajole you into alternative lives are subliminally reassuring presences, whether they’re telling you you’re a genius or a piece of rubbish.

Becoming invisible By contrast, “The Duchess of Malfi” — staged in another, bigger office building in the dock-

lands of East London — offers no comfort at all. “Bum Bum” may make you its star; “Malfi” makes you invisible. And it suggests that you, the spectator, will never really understand what’s happening around you. Before entering the shadowy, labyrinthine dream house in which the opera takes place, you are required to put on a white, face-covering, Venetian-style carnival mask and to keep it on. After that, you’re on your own.

Last January I attended a touring production (near Cambridge, Mass.) of Punchdrunk’s “Sleep No More,” which reset the story of “Macbeth” in a 1930s English country house, and so I was familiar with its gallows-chic modus operandi. In that production too, different scenes occurred si-

multaneously in different rooms, among which the cast members walked, ran and slithered.

But while “Sleep No More” was wordless, its grimly glamorous scenes enacted in dance and mime, “The Duchess of Malfi,” commissioned by the English National Opera, has a full score (by Torsten Rasch, in the style of Alban Berg) and libretto (by Ian Burton, adapted from Webster’s grisly revenge tragedy). Not being able to follow the music in sequence only enhances the frustration factor built into a Punchdrunk production. Melodies drift, half-heard, from other rooms, so that wherever you are — a forest of wire trees, perhaps, or a lavishly appointed neo-Jacobean bed chamber — you suspect you’re in the wrong place.

The performers exist in their own, utterly self-contained reality, in which music is an exclusionary language.

You belong to the throng of identically masked people who have chosen to assemble where you are, and the masks conceal any hint of how the audience is responding. You, the watcher, are part of a faceless mob, abstract and infinitely distractible. Physically this “Duchess of Malfi” may allow unusually up-close-andpersonal access to its mise-enscene. Yet I’ve never attended a show at which I felt so utterly disconnected from the performers.

“Malfi” leaves you feeling powerless, confused, both overfed and underfed, and slightly contaminated. And though the production is as live as theater gets, it also approximates the everyday emotions of watching passively as the world is parsed, segmented and scattered on different screens. Its chilling suggestion — appropriate to an era drowning in an excess of disparate images — is that even as you feast on a surfeit of lurid vignettes, you, the audience, will never know the whole story.

GOLF Redmond, Bend golfers faring well at Oregon tourney CRESWELL — Redmond golfer Mike Reuther shot an even-par 71 Saturday to move into a tie for third place in the senior division of the Oregon Men’s Stroke Play Championship.

Reuther, who rests at 2 over through 36 holes, trails Happy Valley’s Pat O’Donnell by seven strokes in the 54hole tournament at Emerald Valley Golf Club.

In the open division, Bend’s Andrew Vijarro shot a 2-overpar 73 to fall into a tie for fifth place at 3 over. Vijarro is six strokes behind leader Jack Dukeminier, who is Vijarro’s teammate at the University of Oregon.

Vijarro, who won the Oregon Men’s Stroke Play in 2008 and finished second last year, leads a group of seven Central Oregonians in the 97-player open division.

Reuther is one of five Central Oregonians in a field of 45 golfers playing in the senior division.

The Men’s Stroke Play Championship, which attracts the best amateur golfers in Oregon, will continue with today’s final round.

or true golf fans in Central Oregon, this has been a disappointing week.

I know, because I happen to be among the disappointed.

Jeld-Wen’s announcement Thursday that it has chosen not to continue its relationship with The Tradition beyond this year means that this region will more than likely not be hosting a major professional golf tournament in the foreseeable future. At least, not after next Sunday’s final round of the 2010 Tradition.

Losing The Tradition — which seems a strange name for a golf tournament that in just 10 years has been played on five different courses, in three different cities, and in two different states — means lost economic impact in this region, less national exposure via NBC Sports, and so on.

Watney stands alone in front

MLB Boston’s Ellsbury goes back on DL ARLINGTON, Texas — Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday for the third time this season with more pain in his left side.

Ellsbury, a Madras High and Oregon State product, collided with Texas pitcher Tommy Hunter at first base after he led off Friday night’s game with a roller down the line. Ellsbury underwent MRI and CT scans on Saturday in Boston, and was diagnosed with bruising on the left side of his rib cage.

He was in only his ninth game back from the disabled list after missing 58 games because of broken ribs on his left side. He had missed 37 games during an earlier DL stint for a similar injury.

“There’s a line, a faint line (from the exams) at the fracture site, but it’s just impossible to tell; new, incomplete healing?” manager Terry Francona said before the Red Sox faced the Rangers.

“You just have to go on the symptoms.”

The Red Sox initially planned to send Ellsbury to California to be examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum, but they couldn’t get an appointment with Yocum until Tuesday, so Ellsbury flew back to Boston.

Ellsbury hit .301 in 153 games last season, but he’s batting .192 with no homers and five RBIs in 18 games this season.

NEW YORK — Attendance is up slightly in the WNBA for the fourth straight year and ratings have improved again — positive signs as the league’s 14th season heads into the final stretch.

“What you’re seeing is the base of interest in the WNBA continuing to grow,” WNBA president Donna Orender told The Associated Press. “That was the goal we set out several years ago.”

After seeing the average attendance rise to 8,039 per game a year ago, the WNBA reported an increase of 1 percent through last week compared to a corresponding point last season. Also, ratings on ESPN2 were up 14 percent with an increase in viewership of 23 percent through the first 14 broadcasts of the season.

Last year, the WNBA regular season

on ESPN finished with an average of 269,000 viewers, up eight percent from 2008 — marking the second straight year of improvement.

“We know we have a tremendously entertaining product,” Orender said.

“The quality of the athletes is fantastic, the quality of the entertainment experience. We just know if we get people in front of it, they’re going to love it. That’s what we’re starting to see happening.”

Throw in the league’s new marketing deals this season with Coca-Cola, Pirate’s Booty and Jamba Juice, and that four teams now have marquee sponsorship deals that include logos on team jerseys — Phoenix (Lifelock), Los Angeles (Farmer’s Insurance), Seattle (Bing) and New York (Foxwoods) — and Orender likes what she’s seeing.

“Clearly there are positive partnership validation messages everywhere you turn,” she said.

Romero is the second player to be locked up long-term by rookie general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Romero’s deal runs from 201115, covering his three arbitration seasons and one year of free agency, with a club option for 2016. He is the first player on the roster with a contract guaranteed through 2015. The 25-year-old Romero is 9-7 with a 3.53 ERA in 23 starts.

• Seattle OF Bradley to have knee surgery: Seattle Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Tuesday. Bradley hasn’t appeared in a game since July 26. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Timothy Kremchek in Cincinnati. The Mariners will wait for the results of the operation to determine a timetable for Bradley’s return.

• Women’s baseball World Cup suspended: The women’s baseball World Cup has been suspended a day after a player from Hong Kong was stuck by a stray bullet during a game. Cheuk Woon Yee left the hospital at the Fort Tiuna military base accompanied by teammates on Saturday, Venezuela’s information ministry said in a statement.

Officials were apparently discussing when to resume play. Venezuela Sports Minister Hector Rodriguez said a revised schedule would soon be announced. Officials of the International Baseball Federation weren’t immediately available to comment.

Basketball • U.S. shows speed, shooting in scrimmage with China: Short on size, the United States showed off a surplus of speed. Danny Granger scored 22 points and the Americans sprinted past China 98-51 in a scrimmage Saturday at Madison Square Garden. On a day they gave their strongest hint yet that they’re prepared to take only one center to the world championships, the Americans were credited with a 32-4 advantage in fast-break points. Eric Gordon strengthened his case for a spot on the team with 15 points, while Kevin Durant added 14 and Derrick Rose had 12.

Cycling • Armstrong’s teammate Leipheimer wins Leadville: Levi Leipheimer has won the Leadville Trail 100 mountain bike race in record time. Leipheimer didn’t get the chance to race against defending champion Lance Armstrong, his RadioShack teammate who pulled out with a sore hip. So he did the next best thing by breaking his record. Despite this being his first major mountain bike race and going over the handle bars once, Leipheimer crossed the finish line in 6 hours, 16 minutes, 37 seconds, shaving more than 12 minutes off the previous mark in Leadville, Colo.

Golf • American teens reach final at U.S. Women’s Amateur: American teenagers Danielle Kang and Jessica Korda ousted their Canadian opponents Saturday in the U.S. Women’s Amateur to advance to the final at Charlotte Country Club in Charlotte, N.C. Kang, 17, edged Jennifer Kirby 1 up on the par-72, 6,559-yard course on another humid day, though with a slight dip in temperatures from earlier in the week. Korda, also 17, defeated Stephanie Sherlock 4 & 3 to advance.

Bross takes championship at U.S. nationals

By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

HARTFORD, Conn. — For smiles and sparkles, there are other places in the arena to look.

For a powerful performance that will simply knock your socks off — that’s where Rebecca Bross fits in.

Refusing to fall or falter, Bross charged her way through another impressive night of gymnastics Saturday, winning the national title in a runaway over Mattie Larson.

The 17-year-old coached by Olympic champion Nastia Liukin’s father, Valeri, scored 120.3 points to outdistance Larson by the wide margin of 3.3.

GYMNASTICS Bross went through finals without a fall, making her eight for eight for the two-day meet and answering one of the few questions left about America’s top up-and-comer: Could she close out a major meet, after letting leads at last year’s nationals and worlds slip?

The answer: A resounding yes. All business when she’s on the equipment, she finally let her guard down when she completed her final routine, slapping the sides of her legs, jumping off the podium, then folding into Valeri Liukin’s embrace like a rag doll.

Happy and relieved.

“The whole competition is finally over,” she said. “I made all my routines. I was really happy I was done and I did what I hoped to.”

Bross figures to be the headliner on the team heading to world championships this fall, where pecking orders will start forming for the London Olympics, which are less than two years away.

Also in the mix for 2012 is Alicia Sacramone, a key part of the 2008 team who is on the comeback and had her second straight solid night.

She scored 14.95 on her beam routine — improving by 0.1 over Thursday — and had vaults of 15.7 and 15.325 to wrap up the gold medal on that event.

by Gerhart, who finished second to Alabama’s Mark Ingram in the closest Heisman Trophy vote ever.

While Gerhart tries to learn the complicated schemes of the NFL, the new tailbacks want to establish a rushing game that complements quarterback Andrew Luck.

“Everybody wants to be the guy,” said Stewart, who missed seven games last season because of an ankle sprain and stress fracture. “Nobody wants to have a 10-back committee.”

They might have to settle for a three-man commission.

None of the contenders has big numbers yet — Taylor was the Cardinal’s third-leading rusher last season behind Gerhart and Luck, expected to be one of the Pac-10’s best passers this season.

But they hope the yards start piling up.

“We can’t just rely on the passing game,” said Amanam, who didn’t play last year because of a toe injury. “All the running backs know we have to show it just wasn’t Toby on the roster, but it was us, too.”

Convincing others hasn’t been easy. Gaffney hears one constant refrain from fans and fellow Cardinal athletes on other teams: “Toby’s gone, what are you guys going to do?”

Stanford players have a ready answer: Run the football.

And run it some more.

DOWNTOWN BEND

Will Stanford’s next Toby Gerhart please stand up?

It could be Jeremy Stewart, a 6-foot, 218-pound senior from Baton Rouge, La., the Cardinal’s most experienced tailback.

“Everybody is trying to figure out what we’re going to do without Toby,” Stewart said of the player taken in the second round of the NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings. “So we’re looking to make a name for ourselves.”

Or it could be Tyler Gaffney, a 6-1, 216-pound sophomore from San Diego, who like Gerhart also played on the Cardinal baseball team.

“That was last season,” he said of Gerhart’s fairy-tale year that put Stanford on the national stage. “There’s nothing I can do.

I can’t call Toby and tell him to come back out here.”

Or perhaps it will be Gerhart’s backup last season, sophomore Stepfan Taylor of Mansfield, Texas, who gained 303 yards in 56 carries.

Whether it is one, two or three backs, the theme heading into the Cardinal’s 2010 season is simple: duplicate Gerhart’s school-record 1,871 yards rushing and 28 touchdowns. Stanford was second in the Pacific-10 Conference — 11th nationally — in rushing offense with an average of 218.2 yards per game.

“We don’t have the 235-pound

monster sitting back there for 30 carries a game, but we’re feeling good about where we are,” offensive coordinator David Shaw said. “We might look a little different. We might do a few things a little different. But the way we play football is really not going to change.”

At least that’s the plan. Stanford’s running game remains one of the biggest question marks on offense as the Cardinal prepares for the season opener Sept. 4 against Sacramento State. If any of the backs who played last year struggle, coaches might consider redshirt freshman Usua Amanam of Bellarmine College Prep or incoming freshmen Ricky Seale of Escondido and Anthony Wilkerson of Foothill Ranch in Orange County.

As of now the team refuses to back away from a brand of football coach Jim Harbaugh loved as an All-America quarterback at Michigan.

“We’re still going to be focused on the power running game,” said left tackle Jonathan Martin, one of four returning starters on the offensive line. “We’re still going to be physical, trying to get the other team to quit.”

What Stanford doesn’t have is a human bowling ball who demoralized defenses by refusing to go down even on broken plays.

A handful of relatively unknown players are being asked to build on the extraordinary legacy left

yards untouched for a touchdown to put Seattle up 10-7.

Carroll had hugs galore — even one for Mare after he kicked an extra point following Whitehurst’s second TD pass, to rookie tight end Anthony McCoy from Carroll’s USC team last year. That made it 20-7.

Whitehurst, acquired in a spring trade from San Diego with Seattle knowing the 34-year-old Hasselbeck is in the final year of his contract, played until the end of third quarter. He was 14 of 22 for 214 yards, the two scores and one interception.

COLORADO

CENTUR Y

SEATTLE — Pete Carroll pumped his fists and hugged players, greeting nearly every one. He ran a lot on the sidelines — on a left knee the 58-year-old had surgically repaired just two weeks ago.

And all that was before the national anthem. Then he high-fived the guy who sang that.

The coach who bolted Southern California in January to resurrect the fallen Seahawks looked like he was having more fun than his players during Seattle’s 20-18 preseason victory over the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night.

Carroll’s first NFL game since Jan. 2, 2000, when he was coaching New England, was more notable for the new leader’s energy being as advertised than it was for anything the players’ did.

Seattle’s first-team offense produced a 44-yard field goal by Olindo Mare in its three drives.

Matt Hasselbeck was four of 10 for 26 yards. He was sacked once and had three passes deflected.

The toasty home crowd on an 87-degree night got its biggest thrill from Mike Williams. The top-10 pick by the Lions in 2005 who ballooned out of the league for two years caught a short pass from backup Charlie Whitehurst midway through the second quarter. Williams, a former star for Carroll at USC, then juked Ryan Mouton with one step and ran 51

“It was a bit of an upstairs thing (a reference to Smith’s second-story office at team headquarters). It was a business thing. It would be hurtful if that organization didn’t have a track record of doing that.

That would be hurtful. But when you’ve seen it time and time again with guys that you’ve played with, and you see them leave town and you wonder why.”

Although Smith declined to comment for this story, it’s obvious the Chargers feel better about their ability to run the ball now than they did last season, when they ranked 31st in the league in rushing. That’s not because they somehow augmented the offensive line. It’s because they traded up from 28th to 12th in the draft to select Fresno State running back Ryan Mathews.

That sets the stage for a fascinating comparison. Mathews goes to a team that was terrible running the ball last season.

Tomlinson goes to last season’s No. 1 rushing team, one that sees him as a complement to feature back Shonn Greene.

Is Tomlinson one of those backs who has something left in his 30s?

So far, Tomlinson has turned some heads at Jets camp. In a scrimmage this week, he found himself matched up against a linebacker on a go route down the sideline. Quarterback Mark Sanchez hit him in stride for a 70-yard touchdown.

“We’ve got a great back in LaDainian, he’s tremendous,” Jets Coach Rex Ryan said. “Does he look like he’s through? Absolutely not.”

went from exceptional to expendable. He has rushed for 100 yards in two of his last 35 games (including the playoffs), has seemed to go down easier with first contact and has lacked the familiar burst that marked the first six-plus years of his career.

He became just another offensive weapon. The team grew to rely on undersized Darren Sproles in clutch situations and left Tomlinson on the sideline.

There were injuries along the offensive line, and that unit didn’t play as well last season as it had in the past, but few people anticipated such a sharp drop-off from the superstar running back.

Tomlinson, 31, shrugs off the notion that he might have simply hit a physical wall, as a lot of running backs do when they reach 30. He is convinced that the Chargers decided two years ago he wasn’t in their plans.

“Obviously, they had to start to build that team around Philip and get the guys they needed around him,” he said. “I didn’t fit that. That’s why I kind of found myself on the outside looking in, and looking for work after this past season.”

For his part, Tomlinson felt iced by Chargers general manager A.J. Smith, and he said at his charity golf tournament in the spring that he would have a hard time retiring as a Charger if Smith is with the team at that point. In his interview with the Los Angeles Times this week, Tomlinson again implied that the deterioration in their relationship paved his way out of town.

“In my mind, I knew it was starting to come to an end and eventually it would happen where I would leave,” he said. “I saw it with Junior Seau, I saw it with Rodney Harrison, I saw it with Drew (Brees).

New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson looks to move on after playing his entire career for San Diego.

MT. WASHINGTON

John Froschauer / The Associated Press

Seattle Seahawks’ Mike Williams runs for a touchdown past Tennessee Titans’ Ryan Mouton in the first half of an NFL preseason football game, Saturday in Seattle.

CORTLAND, N.Y. — Some visuals just take getting used to. It was that way with Brett Favre in purple, or Donovan McNabb in burgundy. And it’s that way with LaDainian Tomlinson in New York Jets green, a guy who for so long was synonymous with the San Diego Chargers.

For Tomlinson, it isn’t odd at all. He says he saw his road coming to an end in San Diego at least a couple of years ago.

“I’m not going to say I wasn’t happy, but I started to see my departure out of San Diego way before you guys did,” he told a reporter during a break between training-camp practices. “I could sense it. I started to make a little gripe about running the ball more, and people thought I was crazy. ‘Aw, LT’s complaining and whining.’ But that’s when I started to see what was going on.”

More on what Tomlinson thinks was going on in a moment. But he also conceded for the first time that he was stung by the recent comments of his former teammates, quarterback Philip Rivers and tight end Antonio Gates, who zinged him a bit in The San Diego Union-Tribune.

“I thought they were my guys,” Tomlinson said. “People always say, and my family has said it to me, that you know who your real friends are when you’re at your lowest point and you don’t have a job or whatever. And guys, they said what they felt, whether they were taking shots at me or really just saying what they felt needed to be said.”

The statements by Rivers and Gates were not overly critical, just very candid remarks from players who typically have gone out of their way to be respectful of Tomlinson and what he has accomplished.

Of not having the running back in camp, Rivers told the newspaper: “I don’t know how everyone feels or if they felt it. Maybe it was a little bit of relief. Maybe it’s a feeling of, ‘I can do a little more without wondering what he thinks.’”

According to Gates, “Sometimes you would get the sense that people felt bigger than the team. Not to say it was an issue, but we know it’s not an issue for sure now.”

Not so long ago, no one in the league was bigger than Tomlinson. He won the NFL rushing title in consecutive years (2006 and 2007) and in 2006 he was named the league’s most valuable player, set the single-season record with 28 rushing touchdowns and probably secured a spot in the Hall of Fame.

In the last two seasons, however, Tomlinson quickly

TENNIS ROUNDUP

Cincinnati Open championship set The Associated Press

Gregory Smith / The Associated Press

Atlanta Braves starter Tim Hudson is one of many pitchers in the major leagues who is having success this season after going through Tommy John surgery.

Tommy John surgery has come a long way

By Jon Krawczynski The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — On a pitcher-perfect June night in the Twin Cities, Francisco Liriano and Tim Hudson dueled for eight dazzling innings, making every hit look like pure accident and every run scored feel like a minor miracle.

Liriano struck out 11 and allowed one run in eight innings for the Twins. Hudson went the distance for the Braves, losing 21 after giving up five of his seven hits and both runs in the seventh inning.

Even more impressive, both have reasserted themselves as top-shelf starters this season after having Tommy John surgery, the elbow-ligament-replacement procedure that once spelled the beginning of the end for a pitcher’s career.

“That’s the modern miracle of what doctors can do to put people back together,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said after the game. “We all know the arm takes a beating. Goodness gracious, we saw two guys who were both throwing the ball 90plus mph with sliders and stuff.

That’s because some doctors did some really good jobs.”

As the pennant races heat up, more and more pitchers are showing that there is life after Tommy John. Hudson, Liriano, Florida’s Josh Johnson, Atlanta’s Billy Wagner and St. Louis Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter are among the many coming back from the surgery almost as good as they’ve ever been, a development that surprises even the physician who pioneered the technique more than 30 years ago.

“I had no idea it would do this,” Dr. Frank Jobe told The Associated Press by phone from his California offices. “It startles me even today that it has done that.

The doctors are recognizing the condition early enough to fix it and they are learning how to do the surgery so well. They rehab it so not just the arm, but the whole body gets better.”

It’s even working for power pitchers. Rays closer Rafael Soriano’s fastball is still in the mid90s, Johnson is hitting 96 regularly and Liriano’s superb slider is biting again.

“I feel great,” said Hudson, who had the surgery in 2008. “I can’t feel any better. My arm’s as good as it’s ever been. I wish they had similar procedures for the rest of your body.”

When Jobe told Dodgers pitcher Tommy John he wanted to take a tendon from John’s right forearm and use it to replace the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, John wasn’t the only one in that room who was unsure how the whole thing was going to turn out.

“I told him I wasn’t sure and that he didn’t have much of a chance coming back, but it was probably the only chance,” Jobe recalled of their 1974 meeting.

After 18 months of rehab, John returned in 1976 and remarkably pitched for 13 more years, proving the surgery was a viable option to treat an injury that otherwise would have ended a pitcher’s career. Still, Jobe wasn’t totally convinced in the early going.

“When he did come back, I thought maybe we could do it on somebody else,” he said. “I waited two years to try it on somebody else, but we had no idea we could do it again.”

But there were many others, including some earlier this decade, who never returned to their previous form. Minnesota’s Joe Mays, Atlanta’s Mike Hampton and former Mets prodigy Bill Pulsipher are among the long list who struggled to make it back, with some developing shoulder problems or other injuries in the process.

In the last five years or so, team physicians have been perfecting the delicate rehabilitation process, and skilled surgeons like Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Lewis Yocum have helped reduce what was a four-hour procedure into a one-hour deal.

“It seems like the whole thing is turning out better,” Jobe said.

Liriano had the surgery in 2006 after dominating the American League in a superb rookie season. It took him four long years to work his way back, but now he appears close to being the ace he once was. Liriano had a 21-inning scoreless streak end last week and has said his arm has felt stronger and stronger after each start.

Hudson and Johnson each made much quicker recoveries.

Hudson returned from surgery in 2008 to pitch late in 2009, performing well enough to earn a three-year, $28 million contract to stay in Atlanta.

Hudson has rewarded the Braves’ faith, going 13-5 with a 2.24 ERA this season to lead the team to first place in the NL East.

“I think gradually everything gets a little bit better,” Hudson said. “I’m not saying there’s going to be crazy leaps and strides from one week to another. The more you get out there, the stronger you’re going to be.”

It’s seemingly been even easier for Johnson, who returned from the surgery in July 2008. He is 32-10 since coming back and has been better than ever this season, going 10-4 with a 1.97 ERA and a career-best 4.33 strikeoutto-walk ratio.

“You go back to Tommy John and how it’s evolved over the course of time, it’s definitely at the point where it’s not a negative anymore,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “You do believe that if it happens to a young guy, you know you’re going to have him back and possibly even better. It’s the world we live in, man.”

An entirely new world where the procedure is starting to be viewed as routine maintenance, Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.

“It’s like taking your car to Jiffy Lube,” he said. “Does your car run better when you get an oil change? Same thing here.”

Ligament-replacement surgery is even starting to creep into the NFL now. Quarterback Jake Delhomme had Tommy John surgery while with Carolina and is now likely to start for the Cleveland Browns this season.

Jobe said the key is taking an entire year to rehabilitate, being patient as arm strength is restored, and not rushing back, which exponentially increases the risk of re-injury.

So will the advancements continue?

“I’m sure they can,” Jobe said.

“You never want to say in medicine this is the end. You’re always coming up with something a little bit different. Even with Tommy John, there’s people doing things slightly different. In their minds they’re getting better.”

MASON, Ohio — Kim Clijsters needed only 12 minutes of tennis — and an empathetic hug — to reach another title match.

Ana Ivanovic hurt her left foot during the opening set of their semifinal at the Cincinnati Open on Saturday, forcing her to withdraw in tears with the rest of her season in doubt.

“It sounds very similar to what I had with my left foot,” said Clijsters, who tore a muscle in her foot last April and missed nearly two months, including the French Open. “I hope it’s not that bad.”

The fourth-seeded Belgian will be well-rested when she plays her third title match of the year against Maria Sharapova, also trying for title No. 3. She beat fellow Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 in a sloppy semifinal.

Ivanovic’s injury allowed the 27-year-old Clijsters to get a break from the oppressive

afternoon heat — an on-court thermometer reached 120 degrees during the week. She was on court for only 25 points.

Clijsters broke Ivanovic’s serve to go up 2-1. In the next game, the Serb hurt her left foot while setting up to make a forehand return from the baseline.

She hit one more point during the rally — another forehand — then dropped her racket and bent over in pain.

“All of a sudden on that one shot, I felt something, you know, crack a little bit,” Ivanovic said.

“I was very scared.”

Ivanovic straightened up, cupped her hands behind her head and winced. She walked gingerly to her chair and took a medical timeout, removing her shoe. A trainer rubbed the inside of the foot and taped it so Ivanovic could try to continue.

After the second point — a serve that Ivanovic didn’t even bother to chase — the match was over.

“I tried bit of tape, but I could not put any weight on it, and there was no point in me continuing,” she said.

Ivanovic cried as she hobbled toward the net, where Clijsters embraced her. Then, she left to have the foot examined by a doctor.

Also on Saturday: Federer, Murray in final TORONTO — Roger Federer advanced to the Rogers Cup final with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-5 victory over Novak Djokovic.

Federer will meet defending champion Andy Murray of Britain, who beat top-ranked Rafael Nadal 6-3, 6-4 in the first semifinal.

Federer improved to 10-5 alltime against the 23-year-old Djokovic, who won the Rogers Cup title in his debut appearance in 2007.

Murray, the No. 4 seed, needed just 1 hour, 44 minutes to complete the victory over Nadal.

LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES

Murphy’s ’I Won’t Cheat’ group gets a boost

By Genaro C. Armas The Associated Press

Little Leaguers like to walk, talk, pitch and hit like big leaguers. Former major leaguer Dale Murphy just wants to make sure there’s one way impressionable pint-sized sluggers don’t imitate their heroes.

In an era when steroids and drug testing make sports headlines, the two-time National League MVP is on a mission to encourage young players to avoid shortcuts through his “I Won’t Cheat Foundation.”

Founded by Murphy five years ago, the organization’s message reaches its biggest audience during nationally televised games of the Little League World Series, where players wear patches on their sleeves with “I WON’T CHEAT” in bold letters. The annual 10-day tournament begins Friday in South Williamsport, Pa. “The main point I thought to make to the kids is that I know what you’re thinking is that most of these guys are taking it,” Murphy said. “But a lot of them aren’t. Most of them aren’t and you can still be a successful baseball player if you want to pursue it without taking this stuff.”

Though he’s been out of baseball for 17 years, Murphy may be the perfect voice to spread such a message given the cleancut image he developed as one of the game’s most feared hitters in the 1980s. He hit 398 home runs over 18 seasons, most of them with the Atlanta Braves.

Murphy, who now lives in

Alpine, Utah, started the organization in 2005 when performance-enhancing drugs were making news. It was in March of that year, for instance, when former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire refused to answer questions before Congress about steroid use during his playing career.

“It really started with the steroids issue in baseball. We were just sitting around, some of our friends ... we just started talking, maybe we should just send another message out there because the perception of the kids is that everybody is taking this,” Murphy said in a telephone interview.

Little League added the patch to World Series uniforms two years ago, giving the message more visibility. Little League does not drug test tournament players, though there are no regulations that stipulate whether local leagues can or cannot test.

“I have never heard of a local league that tests, and would be very surprised to hear about it,” Little League vice president Lance Van Auken wrote in an e-mail.

“Using steroids equals cheating,” reads the title of Little League’s position statement to parents on the drug issue.

For the most part, Little Leaguers aren’t directly confronted with the possibility of taking performance-enhancing drugs, especially in younger age brackets, Murphy said. The Little League World Series, for ex-

ample, is for 11- to 13-year-olds.

They may, however, be exposed to other questions that have more to do with decisions their parents and coaches make, like allowing a player to use a heavier or unregulated bat, or allowing a player from outside a league’s boundaries to join a team.

It’s in those instances that adults must realize they are setting a bad example, Murphy said. He also wants to educate young players to speak up as much as possible when uncomfortable with something, if not directly to a coach, then through a parent or teacher.

“It takes courage, and we encourage kids to speak up,” Murphy said. “One of the more challenging things in life is not being the guy who does the cheating, but not saying anything about it and going along with it.”

The foundation has since expanded its message beyond the diamond to other sports, as well as to classroom and extracurricular activities. His foundation has “I Won’t Cheat” pledges for students and young athletes to sign.

The goal, he said, is to add another voice and make youngsters see the long-term consequences of their decisions.

“Kids especially, they need as many people as possible to say, ‘You don’t want to do that.

You want to do it the right way to be successful,’ ” Murphy said.

“Kids see the short-term gain, that’s kind of the challenge with all of us at any age — you see the short-term gain, you don’t see

the long-term consequences.”

At a recent game of the Double-A Altoona Curve, fan Martin Perz of Pittsburgh said he hadn’t heard of Murphy’s foundation but called the idea a good concept. Perz, who was at the game with his 14-year-old son, Curtis, said he doesn’t often talk about the performance-enhancing drugs with his son except by telling him, “If people use it, they’re cheaters. You can acquire some long-term physical ailments.”

The subject of steroids at the major league level rarely comes up on his youth team, said Curtis’ 13-year-old friend, Vinnie Shoff, who plays second base. Curtis, who has given up baseball to focus on football and basketball, said the topic doesn’t come up much in those sports either, though he has strong feelings about it.

“You have people who work hard to get strong, and then you have people that cheat, and inject steroids to get strong, so I associate it with cheating,” Curtis said.

Stephen Elder, at the game with his 10-year-old son, Stephen Jr., isn’t overly concerned with how stories about steroids and cheating may affect his son to the point where they need to talk about the issue.

“Not yet,” Elder said, “but we will be.”

Tiger Woods hits a drive on the 15th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship Saturday at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan, Wis. Woods is 10 shots off the lead.

Is the world of golf moving on without Tiger Woods?

By Mark Whicker McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — or the first time, Tiger Woods seems like yesterday.

That is not to say he has no tomorrows left. That is not to say he won’t find some epiphany this morning that will allow him to finish decently in this PGA Championship.

That is not even to say he has played terribly here, even though he barely contributed a jab to the mass knockout of Whistling Straits on Saturday.

He stands tied for 32nd going into the final round today, 10 shots behind Nick Watney.

There were 19 scores below 70, but Woods shot par 72.

For the first time since 2006 Woods has failed to break 70 in nine consecutive rounds. And for the first time ever he has failed to win a golf tournament in a calendar year, with limited chances remaining.

What are his chances here?

“Well, some guys have shot in the 50’s this year, haven’t they?” he asked, smiling.

Woods does not turn 35 until Dec. 30, and we’re all aware that golfers are unique that way, that they can still win big in their Metamucil years. Jack Nicklaus won a Masters at 46 and he also won an Open and a PGA at 40.

But at the PGA you see the world of golf moving on, aware of Woods but too busy to be preoccupied.

Of the six top finishers Saturday, only Jim Furyk is older than

F

Woods, and Martin Kaymer is 22 and Rory McIlroy 21. McIlroy was 8 when Woods laid down the fear factor at the 1997 Masters.

More striking, the thought of playing in Woods’ group is no longer reason to hyperventilate.

K.J. Choi was by Tiger’s side for 72 holes at the Masters and made a far stronger run than Woods did. Here, Vijay Singh shot 66 as Woods’ partner in the second round. Then Steve Elkington, who had lost his tour card and is 47 besides, shot 67, including a back-nine 31, with Woods in the third round.

And then there’s the par 5’s.

They once were Tiger’s dessert cart.

There are four of them here, some of them rather complicated, but Woods has only birdied two of 12 and is 1-over par overall.

Watney birdied all four on Saturday and is 9 under for the week.

“Tell me about it,” Woods grunted. “I just haven’t played them well all week. I’ve struggled at No. 5, even when I’ve hit a good tee shot.”

But maybe the par-5 blues are the best indicator yet. You can’t make them obey unless you hit two excellent shots consecutively, and that is beyond Woods at the moment.

No doubt Woods would be comforted if he could isolate one problem, study it and dismiss it.

No doubt most of us would. But like the weekend 90-shooter, Woods is running into something different with every hole.

He putted superbly when he resumed his morning round and made three birdies to come home with a 2-under-par 70.

That should have provided traction. Instead Woods hit crisp irons on No. 2 and No. 3 and made neither 10-foot birdie putt.

Then he couldn’t save par on No. 4, and he began scooting down the standings, although birdies on 17 and 18 deadened the pain.

He is tied for sixth in putting this week.

“Things are starting to solidify,” he claimed. “It’s not like I’m working on eight different things. It’s just a couple of key things. It feels a lot better.”

But only better in comparison to last week’s 18-over-par debacle in Akron, in which Woods was so far down the list he teed off and finished before CBS’ Sunday telecast began. Golf World ran an eloquent photo of the scene at 7:45 last Sunday, when Woods teed off. The bleachers were 75 percent empty.

“I’m far closer to encouraged than discouraged,” Woods said.

“I feel so much better, I’m hitting the golf ball better, the sound is better. The feel, more than anything, feels good. But you have to make putts.

“I haven’t driven the ball except for two weeks this year and even then I didn’t putt well those weeks. No matter how good I hit, I couldn’t get up-and-down. It’s been one of those years.”

Those years always happened to those other players, back when Tiger was too young to qualify for a mid-golf crisis.

Continued from D1 Watney, who had to scramble for a bogey on the 18th hole after an aggressive play, practically seemed like an old man compared with some of the players chasing him.

Johnson is 26, seasoned slightly by his memorable meltdown at Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open.

He found enough accuracy to go with his awesome power for a 67 to work his way into the final group in a major for the second time this year. Johnson was tied with McIlroy, the 21-year-old from Northern Ireland who also had a 67 and looks poised to deliver early on his promise of Europe’s next big star.

None of the top six on the leaderboard have ever won a major.

The last time the top six contenders were this green in the final major of the year — “Glory’s Last Shot” — was in 1992.

As for Tiger Woods? His only hope is to shoot his best round of his strange season today and try to earn a Ryder Cup berth.

Woods scrambled brilliantly in the morning to finish off the second round with a 70 to get within five shots, then opened the third round by stuffing his first couple of iron shots. He couldn’t make a birdie, however, and had to rally for a 72 on a day when the average score was 71 in soft conditions and relative calm.

Woods wound up 10 shots behind. He likely will need to finish at least in seventh place alone to make the Ryder Cup team.

“I just want to play a good round and see where that puts me,” Woods said.

Watney was at 13-under 203, in the lead at a major for the first time in his career after any round.

The only player among the top six not in his 20s was the biggest surprise of all — Liang Wenchong, a 32-year-old from China who set the course record at Whistling Straits with a 64. He didn’t start playing the game until he was 15.

Some of these guys already were dreaming of winning majors at that age.

Liang was at 207 along with 22-year-old Jason Day of Australia, who had a 66; and 25-year-old Martin Kaymer of Germany, who has top 10s in the last two majors. Kaymer had a 67.

“There’s some really good players that haven’t won a major,” Watney said. “And all the guys that have, at one point they hadn’t won, either. So you’ve got to start somewhere. And hopefully, tomorrow will be my day.”

Golf appears to be trending that way.

Five of the last six major champions had never won one before, the exception Phil Mickelson this year at the Masters. To see so much inexperience at the top — not to mention youth — is not nearly as surprising in a year in which 27-year-old Louis Oosthuizen won the British Open at St. Andrews, and 30-year-old Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland won at Pebble Beach.

“I guess you could say the younger guys are starting to play a lot better,” Johnson said. “We’re starting to contend in majors. We’re definitely moving forward, that’s for sure.”

Major championship experience is lurking.

Former Masters champion Zach Johnson shot a 69 and was in a group at 8-under 208 that included former U.S. Open champion Jim Furyk (70) and former PGA champion Steve Elkington (67).

Nick Watney runs to see his shot on the ninth hole during the third round of the PGA Championship Saturday at Whistling Straits in Sheboygan, Wis. Watney leads the tournament.

The course was such a pushover that 19 players shot in the 60s, and the average score was just over 71. But at least everyone could see, ending two days of fog delays that forced some to play 30 holes on Saturday.

Watney has only two PGA Tour victories, the most recent last year at Torrey Pines, and while he has top 10s in two majors this year, he was never a factor in either one.

It sure didn’t look that way Saturday, when he came out firing.

He birdied the first two holes with wedges inside 6 feet to jump past 36-hole leader Matt Kuchar, who didn’t make a birdie until the 16th hole and shot a 73 to fall six shots behind. Watney then ran off three straight birdies starting on the par-5 fifth, perhaps his best shot a 5-iron to 12 feet on the tricky par-3 seventh.

Mickelson, meanwhile, continued to hit tee shots all over the course, and it finally caught up with him in a round of 73 that put in a tie for 48th.

Woods almost certainly will end a second straight year without a major. Even giving himself a chance on Saturday was a minor miracle. He hit only five fairways, putted for birdie on only half of his holes and made every hole an adventure.

Standing behind the 17th green, where Woods hit a 4-iron right at the flag on the dangerous left side of the green for birdie, caddie Steve Williams shook his head.

“In my 32 years as a caddie, this is the greatest 70 I’ve ever seen,” Williams said. Before heading to the 18th tee, he added, “And if he bogeys the last hole, it will be the greatest 71 I’ve ever seen.”

Woods made par, but only after hitting a huge cut with a 5-wood from a bunker that was sunken below the fairway, leaving his 60-foot birdie putt inches short. “I’m right back in the ball game,” Woods said, who finished his second round at 3under 141, only five shots back.

welcomes ...

Chinese player is defying the odds SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — olf is not the problem. It’s played the same way in any language. The barriers that players like Liang Wenchong find maddening are a lot less exotic, like finding a dependable place in most towns to get a meal.

A few hours after shooting a course-record 64 Saturday and vaulting within three strokes of the lead at the PGA Championship, Liang and a few friends were already making plans for the 80-mile round trip from their Milwaukee hotel to a suburban Chinese restaurant called Peking House for a modest celebration.

“We learned about the restaurant from reading a story about Yi Jianlian, who used to play for the Milwaukee Bucks,” Liang said through an interpreter. “We’ve been there several times already.

It’s very good.

“But yesterday, we finished so late the only place was open was McDonald’s. Either way,” he added, grinning. “is fine.”

Calling Liang adaptable doesn’t tell the half of it. He didn’t start playing golf until age 15, when the first course in China was built in his hometown of Zhongshan and local officials began looking for kids to fill up a golf school.

“I came to it by accident. I had no idea what it could lead to,” Liang said.

But he improved steadily thanks to a regimen of eight-hour workdays and practice sessions, then came under the tutelage of China’s first world-class player, Zhang Lian-wei. By 21, Liang was good enough to turn pro. Since then, he’s taken on a coach, Australian Kel Llewellyn, and won seven times on the China Tour, once in Europe and played in the Masters, British Open and nearly a dozen times on the PGA Tour.

In his only previous shot at the PGA, in 2007 at steamy Southern

G

JIM LITKE Hills, Liang failed to make the cut.

In three starts this season, his best finish was a tie for 30th at the Memorial two months ago. Needless to say, he didn’t see this coming.

Liang struggled just to make the cut here, but when he locked that up late Friday, he felt like he was playing with house money.

Then he started on the easier back nine Saturday, surprised at how well he was driving the ball.

“So that started building the confidence,” he added.

Soon, he was rolling it even better. Liang hit 10 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens, but his ballstriking was merely solid and his chipping a little better than that.

The real key to his scintillating round was on the greens, where he needed only 23 putts. Yet he wasn’t sure even that was his best putting performance. He shot 60 to win an Asian tour event in 2008.

“Both rounds are very, very special to me. But this is special, besides the score, because this is a major. Also, it will make people realize there actually are professional golfers in China,” he said.

A win today might sound farfetched, but a lot of people thought the same thing before Korea’s Y.E. Yang took down Tiger Woods at last year’s PGA and became the first Asian golfer to win a major.

Liang hasn’t had to face down Woods, but in 2001 “I actually was in very close contact with Tiger,” he said, explaining a moment later that Woods was playing an exhibition in China and he was along as the caddie for his mentor Zhang.

But don’t take that to mean the

32-year-old is awed by the stage, or the other players with whom he’s sharing Whistling Straits.

Under Llewellyn’s guidance, Liang rebuilt every part of his swing over the last three years.

“So now I’m more relaxed and very comfortable,” he said. “The other thing is I know to remain calm, not let the major pressure get to me.”

His caddie, Ibrahim Gaus, figures if that pressure was going to get to Liang, it would have happened Saturday as he closed in on the course record.

“He knew,” Gaus said. “He knows exactly what to do with the ball. It was no problem for him.”

Liang was a bit more sanguine about his chances today, but he already knows enough about dealing with the media that he vowed to “take it one shot at a time.”

“I was nervous yesterday on 18, when I was worried about just making the cut. Since then,” he smiled, “I have no negative thoughts.”

The one thing Liang has thought long and hard about is what a major win might mean for golf back in China.

“I think people there would be very surprised and very happy, because there have not been many opportunities for Chinese golfers in the majors,’ he said.

But much like Yao Ming and Yi moving to the NBA raised basketball’s profile back home, Liang is certain a win come today would make him something of a pioneer. And so, when someone asked whether he knew Yi, Liang smiled devilishly and replied, “Maybe the question will be asked whether Yi Jianlian knows me.”

BASKETBALL

Durant’s image is catching up with his elite scoring touch

By Pete Thamel New York Times News Service

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Bend’s Garrett Queen connects with a pitch for a base hit during the fourth inning against the Wenatchee AppleSox on Saturday night at Bend’s Vince Genna Stadium.

Elks Continued from D1 Mixing a mid-80s fastball with a changeup that hovered in the upper 60s, McIver limited Bend to five hits and two runs in his 52⁄3 innings of work.

“He had great command of all his pitches,” Elk outfield Peter Lavin said about McIver, who will be a senior at NCAA Division II Saint Martin’s University in Lacey, Wash., this fall. “When you’re able to take 15 mph off your changeup, it’s tough to pick up.”

Todd Griffiths pitched 21⁄3 innings in relief for the AppleSox before Jeff Ames earned the save with a scoreless ninth inning.

Bend managed seven hits against Wenatchee, but left five runners on base.

“We’d seen him before, but tonight he was hitting his spots,” Elk manager Sean Kinney said about McIver, who posted a 1-1 record against Bend before Saturday’s game. “That changeup and fastball together, it was tough for us.”

Tradition Continued from D1 I don’t know if Jeld-Wen’s decision would have been different had the economy not tanked over the last few years. Nor do I know if enough sponsorship support to keep The Tradition in this region would have been forthcoming even had Central Oregon’s economy continued to boom.

And who knows if major professional golf will ever return to Central Oregon?

All are interesting questions, and some will never be answered.

So what is left?

One last Tradition. And all in all, that is not such a bad thing.

This week, Watson and company will be back to turn Crosswater into their own executive golf course.

For those golf fans who have not watched some of these golfers play in The Tradition’s first three years in Central Oregon, I recommend heading down to Sunriver at least once this week.

WNBA Continued from D1 Orender was also thrilled to see President Barack Obama attended a game in Washington recently with his daughter Sasha, who was wearing a Mystics jersey.

“Put that on the list,” Orender said. “The first sitting President of the United States at one of our games. Fantastic. With his daughter, who happens to play basketball.”

Right-hander Nick Stiltner took the loss for the Elks despite a solid effort. The junior-to-be at Oregon State University allowed five hits and three runs — only one earned — over five innings.

“I’ve had some problems recently with the first inning,” said Stiltner, who gave up two runs in the top of the first before settling down. “But once I got the jitters out I got in a groove.”

Wenatchee leadoff hitter Kalei Hanawahine posted the at-bat of the night in the first, falling behind 0-2 in the count before earning an 11-pitch walk. Hanawahine scored later in the inning on a fielder’s choice, as did the AppleSox’s No. 2 hitter, Trent Bridges, which gave Wenatchee a 2-0 lead before the Elks’ first turn at bat.

“That was a huge momentum moment for them,” Kinney said.

“You can really get a charge off something like that.”

The AppleSox made it 3-0 in the fifth when shortstop Trevor Brown led off the inning with a double. Brown later moved to third on a single by Hanawahine and scored when the ball was

misplayed in the outfield.

Sparked by a two-out single by Lavin, the Elks scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning off RBI singles by Andy Hunter and Garrett Queen, and trailed 3-2. Wenatchee catcher Max Garrett hit a solo home run in the top of the seventh, though, and the AppleSox bullpen retired nine of the 10 batters it faced in the last three innings to preserve the victory.

Bend must now win two games in Wenatchee to earn its first WCL Championship title.

The WCL Championship Series resumes on Monday in central Washington at 7:05 p.m.

“You never want to be down 1-0 (in a series), but it’s awfully nice to be able to hand the ball off to Ben (Guidos) and James (Nygren),” Kinney said about his expected Game 2 and, if necessary, Game 3 starters. “I have all the confidence in the world in these guys.”

There is something awe-inspiring about watching some of these golfers — many of whom are supposedly long past their prime.

Watson’s sweet swing can still blast a golf ball past 300 yards.

Not too bad considering he is 60.

I’m in my mid-30s, and I can barely walk 18 holes without hobbling around the next day.

Langer’s steadiness and consistency are a treat for any golf connoisseur. And just about any player in the field this week has more golf skill than any man of 50 years or older should have.

Not to mention, you can watch them all at Crosswater, which happens to provide one of the most beautiful natural settings any fan of golf could find anywhere.

Oregon will likely host the highest level of golf again. Peter Jacobsen, a Portland native who was instrumental in luring The Tradition from Arizona to Oregon in 2003, pledged on Thursday to continue to try to bring major pro golf to the state.

“I will continue my efforts to keep PGA Tour golf alive in the

state of Oregon and look forward to great things,” Jacobsen said in a release.

But who knows if we will ever see this caliber of golfer in this region again?

The sun will set on the Jeld-Wen Tradition next Sunday afternoon, there is little doubt about that. But it should not be a sad affair for those of us who care to watch golf the most. In fact, it should be quite the opposite.

Maybe the final round will be steeped in drama, like the 2009 Tradition was when Mike Reid edged John Cook in a suddendeath playoff. Maybe a golfer will assert his dominance on the field, the way that Mark McNulty did in 2007 and Fred Funk did in 2008.

Or perhaps we will see something we have yet to witness in three previous years.

Either way, it should be one last great sight to see. One we may never see here again.

Zack Hall can be reached at 541-617-7868 or at zhall@ bendbulletin.com.

Her message for doomsayers who have predicted the league’s demise since it began in 1997?

“There was no basis for that (before), there’s certainly no basis for it now,” Orender said. “We focus on continuing to grow this business, continuing to add value to our partnerships, to provide the great product that we have for our fans.”

Orender said several teams were “moving toward break-even and profitability,” without giving a specific breakdown of how

many of the league’s franchises were or weren’t at that point.

After losing three teams — Charlotte, Houston and Sacramento — in the last four years, and having another sold and moved — the Shock, from Detroit to Tulsa — Orender said she was confident the 12 current teams would be back next year.

The regular season ends on Aug. 22, with the conference semifinals beginning three days later. The WNBA finals are scheduled to start Sept. 12.

Beau Eastes can be reached at 541-383-0305 or at beastes@ bendbulletin.com.

The major theme of the U.S. basketball team heading to Turkey for the world championship this month is the unknown.

With a so-called B-team roster void of stars like Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, the United States is a tepid favorite. And with three key big men — Amar’e Stoudemire and the Lopez twins, Brook and Robin — unable to play, the team’s lack of size now matches its dearth of experience.

That leaves Kevin Durant as perhaps the only certainty for the United States. The feeling in the U.S. camp is that if the Americans are to win their first world championship since 1994, Durant will need to be their leading scorer.

“Without a doubt,” the veteran guard Chauncey Billups said. “He’d better be.”

Durant, 21, became the youngest NBA scoring champion last season, and the world championship offers him a platform to move into the elite constellation of NBA stars. His supple jump shot and freakish athleticism will be on display today at Madison Square Garden, where the United States plays France before heading to Europe.

And Durant, a player hallmarked by loyalty and humility, will get a forum on the world stage at a time when James’ offseason free-agency spectacle prompted eye rolls.

So with no players from the 2008 Olympic Redeem Team representing the United States this summer, the coalescence of Durant’s talent and image could not be a better one.

“He’s the whole package,” said Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball’s managing director.

“This is his opportunity to come forth on an international stage.”

But coming forth, at least on a personal level, has never been easy for Durant. At the USA Basketball training camp in Las Vegas last month, he deflect-

ed questions about breaking through on a world stage, insisting he was hoping to make the team. That was after USA Basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski said Durant was the only lock to make the team.

Durant dodged questions about becoming a team leader by deferring to Billups and Lamar Odom, who are the team’s lone veterans.

“There’s a lot of guys on this floor who know more than me,” Durant said. “They can help me a lot more than I can help the other guys.”

Durant is so grounded that Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said Durant traveled to the NBA Summer League in Orlando, Fla., just to bond with his future teammates. While other elite NBA stars were making movies and taking vacations, Durant worked out every morning at 6:45 a.m. and cheered on the Thunder rookies and some future Development League players.

“That’s not abnormal behavior,” Brooks said. “That’s normal. If he didn’t do that, we’d think he was changing. But he works like that every day.”

Durant’s reticence from the spotlight comes after a summer in which James turned off fans across the country with his free-agency production, which was capped by an ESPN special announcing his destination.

Durant quietly signed a contract extension with the Thunder during that time. Durant said he avoided feeding the media beast for fear that it would inevitably swallow him.

“I was always told that people like the media are going to build you up to break you down,” he said. “We’ve seen that with LeBron; people are trying to break him down right now. I’m not even worried about the media hype or none of that.”

Durant has seemingly always been that way. In college at Texas, he declined to pose for a Dime magazine cover unless the other four Longhorns start-

ers appeared with him.

Since his early days at Texas, Durant showed the same signs of loyalty, humility and hard work that define him today.

“He wants to be the best,” said the Texas assistant coach Russell Springmann, who recruited Durant. “He doesn’t want to be good or great. He wants to be the best player, and that’s part of why he’s as driven as he is.”

Durant, like most of his USA Basketball teammates, lacks international basketball experience. It remains to be seen how he handles the more physical style of play, and the team’s interior deficiencies mean he will need to sharpen his elbows for post defense and rebounding.

But there are aspects of the international game that will obviously suit him. The shorter three-point line will allow him to exploit the glut of zone defenses the Americans will inevitably see. The wider trapezoid lane will allow more freedom to slash to the basket. And with Team USA’s coaching staff stressing the importance of players who can handle multiple positions, it is possible that Durant could play the most minutes of anyone on the team.

“He’s 7-feet tall and maybe one of the best shooters in the world,” Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni said of Durant, listed at 6 feet 9 inches, adjusting to the international game. “I don’t think they’ve invented a game of basketball yet that he wouldn’t be perfect for.”

One of the few certainties of this United States team is that it will require top-level performances from Durant to lift this so-called B team to the gold medal. In Istanbul, Durant will have the opportunity to show if he is the perfect player for this flawed American team.

NASCAR: SPRINT CUP

N A S C A R : N AT I O N W I D E

Childress looking at expansion

Mechanical problems don’t slow Keselowski

By Chris Jenkins The Associated Press

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Richard Childress Racing got better when it got smaller, shrinking from four teams to three in the offseason. So it stands to reason that Childress might think twice before taking another shot at expanding his team.

Of course, the possibility of landing driver Paul Menard — and his lucrative family sponsorship — can be very convincing.

Childress announced this week that he’ll field a fourth car for Menard next season, with the car number and crew chief to be determined. And Childress expects it to work much better than last year.

“We’re going to do this team completely different than we did that one,” Childress said.

It could be a risky move for Childress, given the fact that his team suddenly reclaimed its status as one of NASCAR’s best after it went from four cars to three.

Going into today’s race at Michigan International Speedway, Childress driver Kevin Harvick is leading the Sprint Cup series points standings and teammate Jeff Burton is third. Clint Bowyer is 13th, 10 points out of the final Chase-eligible spot.

It’s a dramatic turnaround from 2009, when Childress fielded four cars and none made the Chase. When Childress eliminated the fourth car driven by Casey Mears, the best crew members from that team were absorbed into the other three teams.

“I have been a proponent for, ever since I have been at RCR, to expand to four teams,” Burton said. “And even last year, when we had the fourth team and we weren’t running well, It wasn’t the fault of the fourth team. Now, I will tell you when we went from four to three, we got strong because we took the very best people and made three. So what that means is, when we do four, we have got to go get the very best people to create four. We can’t take from the three that we have to make four, we have to expand to four.”

If done correctly, Burton said

David Frechette / The Associated Press

Owner Richard Childress talks with driver Kevin Harvick at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., Friday. Childress Racing shrunk from four teams to three teams this season, with good results, but RCR is looking to expand again. an expansion could make the team even stronger.

“We didn’t do four teams right.

We did four teams wrong,” Burton said. “This time (we have) a clear picture of what we did wrong and we’ve got to make sure we learned that and that is what Richard is committed to.

I would not have supported a fourth team if we were doing it just to hire enough people to run the fourth team.”

Childress said his team is bet-

ter organized with stronger engine and engineering programs, putting it in better position to expand. RCR also appears to be in good shape off the track. Childress said he expects to announce a sponsorship deal for Harvick next week, eliminating one of the team’s biggest concerns.

“I think that is the biggest thing, it’s about people,” Childress said. “I think we put together the people to make this thing really work and to have a fourth

team be competitive as well.”

Burton doesn’t think Childress will skimp when it comes to resources.

“If you are going to have more funding and you are going to have more stuff, you have to build a team that is stronger,” Burton said.

“You have to build a company that is stronger. There has to be a benefit of having a fourth team. If you have a fourth team just to employ the people that work on the fourth team — and you don’t expand engineering, you don’t expand aerodynamics, you don’t expand engine (research and development) — you don’t expand all the things that are required to be fast in this sport today, then you have done yourself a disservice.”

They’ll certainly have more funding, courtesy the Menard family’s Wisconsin-based home improvement company. Menard’s father, John Menard Jr., has a net worth of $5.5 billion according to Forbes magazine.

But that’s a mixed blessing for Menard, who will need better finishes to fend off the perception that he only has a ride because he has money.

“Earlier on, you heard a lot of that,” Menard said. “It’s all talk though. It’s all what you make of it and I’ve looked past that and grew past that. People will always be talking about it and there is nothing that you can do about that. Bottom line is we’re a racing family, we have a racing heritage, and I’m a race car driver and that’s what we enjoy doing. It’s kind of our hobby, it’s part of our business, and it’s worked in the past and will work in the future.”

Childress said he hears the same thing about his grandson, Austin Dillon, who drives in the truck series.

“Paul does the job on the racetrack,” Childress said. “It’s something that he loves to do and a passion. It’s not just because he’s got the sponsor that comes along.

He’s got the drive to go out and want to win just like Austin. I get that question and Austin gets the same thing. The difference is both of these guys really want to go out and win.”

BROOKLYN, Mich. — A bum clutch didn’t trip up Brad Keselowski. Neither did racing in close proximity with nemesis Carl Edwards.

Keselowski managed to make it through pit stops despite mechanical problems, then grabbed the lead on a restart with eight laps to go and pulled away to win the NASCAR Nationwide race at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday.

“The clutch issue was something I was really nervous about,” said Keselowski, a Michigan native who also won last year’s Nationwide race here. “I didn’t know if that was going to cost us the race. I tried to be cool about that, but it’s easy to get upset.”

Edwards finished second, barely edging out a charging Kyle Busch.

Edwards and Keselowski raced side-to-side for a large portion of the race without incident. Both drivers are on probation for a high-profile confrontation at Gateway International Raceway last month.

“It’s like both of us are probably thinking the same thing, don’t be the guy that messes this up,” Edwards said. “But he raced me very cleanly, I thought we raced very well together, and that’s the kind of racing that I’m sure both of us want to be doing.”

Meanwhile, it was another rough day at the racetrack for Danica Patrick, who went down a lap to the leaders early on and struggled to a 27th-place finish.

Patrick said her car was ex-

“If we could have started the race the way we finished it, it would have been a very different story,” Patrick said. “It’s all right. It’s all part of it.”

Justin Allgaier was fourth, followed by Paul Menard.

Driver Robert Richardson Jr. was transported to a hospital after a crash. A team spokesman said Richardson, who hit his head, had a CAT scan that was negative. He also injured his left leg.

It was the fourth Nationwide victory of the season and 10th of his career for Keselowski, who holds a dominant 347-point lead in the series standings.

Michigan set for two dates in 2011 The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. — With NASCAR still sorting out the final details of its 2011 schedule, Michigan International Speedway president Roger Curtis says the track will continue to host two regular-season races next year.

“We’re all set for 2011,” he said. “There was talk about doing a Chase race. It was very cool sounding to be in the Chase. It was neat thinking we’d be a good fit. But the more I thought about it for our fans and the number of campers we have, with school starting back up, I don’t know how many would come back.”

Curtis added, “There was never any discussion about taking us down to one race.”

Atlanta Motor Speedway and Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., both are going from hosting two annual NASCAR races to only one next season. Both tracks, like most other speedways, have had lower attendance.

Curtis said Michigan has bucked that trend this year.

“In June, our paid attendance was up from last year,” Curtis said. “This weekend, I think it’s going to be flat with last August.

The important thing is our attendance is not going to be down this year.”

Curtis credited the attendance results with efforts by the track to reach out to fans, recognize spectators through its fan appreciation program and cut ticket prices this year.

NASCAR NOTEBOOK Swapping seats On Friday, Kyle Busch said the cars he’s getting from Joe Gibbs Racing aren’t consistent enough.

On Saturday, he was switching seats with teammate Denny Hamlin.

Busch and Hamlin drove each other’s cars in the first practice session on Saturday as the team tried to coax more speed out of its cars. They didn’t exactly zoom to the top of the speed charts, but their crew chiefs still thought it was worthwhile.

“Sometimes we have our driver meetings and on paper we look at our setups and we listen to what our drivers say and sometimes it doesn’t correspond,” said Dave Rogers, Busch’s crew chief. “Mike (Ford, Hamlin’s crew chief) and I are sitting there trying to figure out if it’s car differences or driver differences, what’s the deal?”

Busch said Friday that the cars his team is building don’t all drive the same.

“There’s no reason they should be as far off as they are,” Busch said. “I’ve talked to Kasey Kahne and he says the same thing, they have one or two cars that they really know run well everywhere they go with them and then the rest of the fleet is just the rest of the fleet. Denny ... has two cars that they feel like will run really well and the 20 (Joey Logano) only has one car. We’re trying

to find those other cars that we know will have the speed in them when we get to the race track.”

Ford acknowledged that no

two race cars are the same, but noted that’s not the only issue that can affect performance.

“There is more variance in driver(s) throughout the garage area than there is in the cars,” Ford said.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, AUGUST 15, 2010

JOHN COSTA

A decade of highs and lows B

ulletin Sports Editor Bill Bigelow reminded us last week that this Labor Day is the 10th anniversary of the newspaper’s move to its new building in west Bend.

As someone reflected, this has been the decade from heaven and hell.

Amen, brother.

The last three years have been painful in the extreme. The real estate market collapsed, construction and tourism went south and unemployment in Central Oregon skyrocketed. Some businesses ceased to exist; some local banks were closed by the federal government and sold, while others still teeter on the edge.

And, while it may not be getting deeper, the hole we are in is substantial.

But, as we think about the last 10 years, it is important to keep a little of the bright side in mind.

A lot was accomplished that has made Central Oregon a better place to live and work, raise families and enjoy life.

That Central Oregon is more populous is a given, one that in some ways contributed to the housing bubble that collapsed.

But bigger we are.

It’s hard to look back past this recession to remember that the decade began with an earlier recession prompted by the dot-com bubble bursting. But it did.

Many disagreed with the growth that followed that recession, understandably fearing that expansion would threaten the one ingredient of our region without which we could be doomed.

That ingredient is quality of life.

It’s a very subjective term.

There are pluses to growth, and drawbacks. Likewise, there are pluses to not growing, and drawbacks.

But one thing is certain: A lot has changed over the past 10 years.

Here are a few of the big changes that I thought of while considering this column.

There has been an explosion in our health care community, which now offers more services for more ailments than ever. It is impossible to look at the campus that surrounds St. Charles in Bend, or the new facility in Redmond, and not think that, in conjunction with Bend Memorial Clinic and many other centers and outlets, we aren’t better served.

It is true that the Cascade Music Festival has died, but there has been a great growth in music in Central Oregon.

Getting in and out of Central Oregon is now much easier with the wonderful expansion of the airport in Redmond and the addition of more flights and connections to more cities.

There is now a bus system in Bend, and one in Central Oregon.

Voters throughout the region agreed to build new public schools and recently approved a substantial expansion of the facilities of Central Oregon Community College.

There is now a branch of Oregon State University here.

Despite the savage nature of this recession, our downtowns are still vibrant and attractive to retailers and, of course, there is now the Old Mill District in Bend.

While this was a point of substantial disagreement, the Bill Healy Memorial Bridge is a major advance in moving cars around the city and brought with it a beautiful new park along the Deschutes River.

La Pine is now an incorporated city.

There is permanent funding for the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and a new headquarters for the Bend Park & Recreation District.

Prineville is now the home of a major Facebook facility and Madras has a new state prison.

Juniper Ridge, the 1,500-acre tract northeast of the city, is starting to attract job-creating development.

And, while plummeting real estate values have caused severe challenges for many homeowners, it is somewhat reassuring to observe that the median home price in 2000 was just over $165,000 and today it is just under $200,000. or about where values stood in 2003.

It could be worse.

None of this is to suggest that this very deep recession is anything but very, very painful.

It is.

But even with the recession, which will eventually go away, this is a better place than ever.

John Costa is editor in chief of The Bulletin.

Eyes on the

real prize

With 37 states holding governors’ races in November, both parties are readying for the coming battle over redistricting

By Mon ica Davey • New York Times News Service

F

or all the talk of midterm elections and control of Congress, the political parties are obsessing this year more than ever over the nation’s 37 races for governor.

The Republican Governors Association has already poured $11 million into these campaigns and halfway through the year had raised $28 million — more than its entire budget for 2006 election season — bringing its current reserves to $40 million.

The Democratic Governors Association says it

intends to devote $50 million to these races, nearly three times more than ever, and the Democratic National Committee has dedicated as much direct financing to governors’ races as it has to Senate and House campaigns. The White House is also pitching in.

There is ample cause for so much attention. At stake is far more than local policymaking in a few state capitals. The new crop of governors will play a major role in deciding which party benefits from the pivotal redrawing next year of congressional

and state legislative districts, a once-in-a-decade occurrence.

Across a swath of states in the Midwest, near the Great Lakes, especially, Republican leaders sense a rare opportunity to seize key governorships that have been dominated recently by Democrats.

The results in the Midwest will also help to define crucial party organizing efforts leading up to the 2012 presidential campaign in some of the most coveted, up-for-grab states.

David Wray / The Bulletin

Democrat

Republican

SOLID or CONTINUING: 9 • Arkansas’ popular center-right Democratic governor maintains tepid support among Republicans in a state that John McCain carried by 20 percentage points in 2008. Few incumbents have struggled as Democratic Gov. David Paterson of New York, but without Paterson running for re-election, Democrats have high hopes. Meanwhile, the GOP nominee, Rick Lazio, last ran for political office against then-Sen. Hillary Clinton a decade ago.

• Seven states whose governors are Democrats — Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Washington and West Virginia — have no gubernatorial election this year.

LEANING: 6 • After a long history of strong partisan competition, Oregon appears to have swung definitively to the left, and it has been decades since Republicans took the governor’s mansion.

But, Chris Dudley — whose name is better recognized from his NBA career in Portland — is making this race more competitive than expected; his win in the GOP primary is widely seen as impressive for a political debut. Still, former Gov. John Kitzhaber is favored.

• Republicans in Colorado have long seen an opportunity to reverse a decade of Democratic gains here. But with a fresh face on the ballot for this race, Democrats say that momentum is still on their side. Maine, similarly, has experienced Democratic waves statewide, but Republicans still hope the large constituency of independent voters may swing the governor’s race right.

• The Democratic incumbent in New Hampshire enjoyed landslide margins when he won re-election in the past. But approval ratings have slipped. To the south in Connecticut, GOP Gov. M. Jodi Rell’s decision to not seek re-election was a major blow to Republicans’ hopes to hold onto the governor’s seat in a state that in recent years has otherwise leaned Democratic. Similarly, in Hawaii, Linda Lingle — the first GOP governor to win here since statehood in 1959 — doesn’t leave a natural successor for a state that went to Barack Obama with 72 percent of the vote.

TOSSUP: 12 • California: This economically spiraling state’s last two governors became extremely unpopular — one was recalled — but two people still want the job: Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay who has spent close to a billion dollars of her own money from the start of the primary campaign; and Jerry Brown, a California political veteran and former governor. Both have advantages: Brown’s being a Democrat in a state that is still growing increasingly blue, while Whitman’s money — and outsider status — are working in her favor.

• New Mexico: This race might be a tossup, but either way voters choose, Bill Richardson’s successor will be a woman, the state’s first. The state’s Hispanic voters, typically Democratic supporters, will play a central role; immigration, and Arizona’s new tough but in-limbo law, have predictably divided the parties’ candidates.

• Minnesota: Democrats are actually hopeful that this state, led for two terms by outgoing Gov. Tim Pawlenty, a possible 2012 GOP presidential contender, will swing to the left. It’s the surrounding Midwestern states (Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois) that have the Democrats worried.

• Wisconsin: The unpopular Democrat isn’t seeking re-election, creating a true tossup election in a region long dominated by Democratic governors.

• Illinois: No Republican holds a statewide office here, and the GOP’s candidate is virtually unknown in Chicago, but no one has forgotten Rod Blagojevich, the disgraced former governor whose trial has a deadlocked jury, and therefore remains in the news.

• Ohio: If nothing else, this perennial swing state is important in the sense that the new governor might also determine which party has the fundraising advantage in the coming presidential election in 2012.

• Vermont: A late five-way Democratic primary (held Aug. 27), as well as the popularity of the Republican governor leaving due to term limits, has made this blue state’s governor race a tossup.

• Massachusetts: Republican Scott Brown’s surprising victory in the race to replace the late Sen. Ted Kennedy may be old news, but the GOP’s gubernatorial candidate, Charles Baker hopes to carry that momentum.

Still, the incumbent Democrat holds a campaigning advantage, and Baker’s run is complicated by a fellow Republican’s run as an independent.

• Rhode Island: The GOP has held this seat for more than 15 years, but the real contest is between a Democrat and a familiar independent, Lincoln Chafee, the former Republican senator. The bad news for Democrats? About half of the state’s voters are unaffiliated.

• Maryland: In 2006, voters disenchanted with George W. Bush ousted Republican Robert Ehrlich; in 2010, the GOP is hoping for a reverse of fortune. Ehrlich is running again, courting independents and Democrats — and hoping the anti-incumbency sentiment will topple his former-andonce-again rival, Martin O’Malley.

• Georgia: Former Rep. Nathan Deal beat Sarah Palin protege Karen Handel in the GOP primary — barely — and survived her attacks of being a “corrupt relic of Washington.” (Deal resigned from Congress in March and was slapped with an ethics complaint.) Democrats see a rare chance to pick up a seat here.

• Florida: As the two Republican candidates trade barbs over integrity ahead of the Aug. 24 primary, Democrat Alex Sink, the state’s CFO, is slipping past them. Still, this is Florida, and some point to tea party favorite Marco Rubio’s Senate candidacy as only helping any Republican in this state.

SOLID or CONTINUING: 13 • Idaho, Utah and Nebraska are some of the nation’s most enduring GOP strongholds, so the incumbent Republicans are solid favorites to win. In Wyoming, the popular Democrat has announced his retirement, ushering in an easy gain for Republicans. In South Dakota, the GOP early on fielded two strong candidates for the nomination. Alaska remains solidly in Republican hands, and former Sen. Sam Brownback is expected to win in Kansas.

• Six states whose governors are Republicans — Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Dakota and Virginia — have no gubernatorial election this year.

LEANING: 10 • Democrats are all but seeing their recent gains in Nevada and Arizona evaporating, with the focus in these states firmly on the unpopularity of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (his son, also a Democrat, is running for governor in Nevada) and the popularity of Arizona’s toughest-in-the-nation law on illegal immigration, signed by a Republican governor.

• In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry’s overwhelming primary win in March puts him in what is expected to be a competitive general election contest. But even though Democrats tout Houston Mayor Bill White as their strongest candidate in years, Perry is expected to keep his seat. In Oklahoma, the typically strong Republican leanings of voters give the GOP an edge to reclaim the seat this year.

• Michigan and Iowa are suffering historic hard times, which has seriously damaged job approval ratings for Democratic governors.

Republicans in Pennsylvania, meanwhile, may have gained an early advantage in the governor’s race because they established a clear favorite for their nomination early on.

• Put simply, this year’s governor races in Tennessee and Alabama are widely considered the GOP’s to lose. The national trend benefitting Republican candidates this year is being felt most profoundly in Southern states. Will that hold in South Carolina, rocked by sex scandals? Actually, it’s expected to.

Federal aid bill ties states’ hands

T

hey say you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. But when the “gift” is from Uncle Sam, you’d be crazy not to.

Take the $26 billion state aid bill signed by President

Barack Obama last week. It’s a boon to Oregon’s schools, no doubt,

but it comes at a price.

To receive Oregon’s share of the bill — some $272 million, of which $117 million will go to education — state lawmakers must restore about $14 million in cuts they made to the higher education budget last year.

Then they’ll have to keep it there for the coming fiscal year. Moreover, they’ll be prevented from cutting what they spend on all education through the 2011 fiscal year, no matter what state revenues and needs might be.

That goes too far. It requires a yetunelected Legislature to live by the priorities of the 2009 Legislature, no matter who is there and no matter what the state’s needs are a year from now.

Still, at least we’re not in the same boat as Texas. Federal lawmakers were annoyed, to put it mildly, when Texas used some $3.2 billion in stimulus dollars to balance the state budget, which now includes a nicely padded rainy-day fund, according to Bloomberg Business Week. This bill let Congress get even.

If Texas agrees to take the money — and some Texans argue that doing so would require the state to violate its own constitution — the state will be forbidden to make cuts in education through 2013. Moreover, the money will go directly to school districts

without ever passing through state government hands.

Notwithstanding the strings attached, the money that comes to Oregon will be put to good use. More than half, some $155 million, will extend by six months payments that have let the state cover more people under the Medicaid program for the poor. The remainder will go to schools, where it must be spent to keep teachers on the job or rehire those laid off.

If the $26 billion bailout were motivated only by a desire to help states in dire straits, then Congress wouldn’t have attached any strings at all. Presumably, state leaders know what their most pressing problems are.

And given a sudden windfall, they’d distribute the money in accordance with their constituents’ priorities.

Apparently, however, Congress would rather use public funds to curry favor with powerful teachers unions.

It may well be that state lawmakers, given a choice, would have done exactly what the legislation requires.

We’ll never know, however, for Congress made the spending decisions for them. That’s unfortunate, and it’s a lesson that should be kept in mind the next time a gift-wrapped present arrives from Washington.

Location for meeting is a hassle for public D

irectors of the High Desert Education Service District will hold their regular meeting Aug. 17 at the old Skyliner Lodge on Skyliners Road. The location makes sense from the district’s point of view, but it’s far less logical for members of the public who might wish to attend.

Among the items on the agenda is a hearing on a supplemental budget that accounts for the loss of about $1 million in revenue. The amount isn’t huge compared with a current budget total of more than $35 million, but the official budget must be adjusted to reflect the loss. District officials have scheduled a full 15 minutes for public comment. Elsewhere in the agenda another five minutes are set aside for public comment on other items.

If that seems like precious little time for anyone to ask serious questions or have a genuine discussion with the board about the budget or anything else, it does to us as well.

At least it did until we thought about where the meeting is.

Skyliner Lodge is about 10 miles west of Bend near Tumalo Falls. That means if Crook County residents

wish to comment on the budget, they face a trip of more than 40 miles each way. The distance is somewhat shorter for Sisters residents but still more than 30 miles one way, and close to 30 for Redmond residents. No wonder there’s so little time set aside for the public to weigh in.

Still, from the district’s standpoint holding the meeting in what amounts to the middle of nowhere makes sense. The ESD leases the lodge from the U.S. Forest Service and wants to make it available to the local school districts it serves. Tuesday’s meeting will allow ESD board members, including representatives of each of the local school districts, to see just what the lodge has to offer.

It may be that no one would have shown up for a budget hearing even if the ESD had scheduled its Aug. 17 meeting at its Redmond headquarters. But holding that hearing 10 miles from the closest community makes public attendance even less likely.

It didn’t need to be that way. Board members don’t need a public meeting to visit the lodge.

My Nickel’s Worth School standards The Bulletin’s July 23 editorial, “Wanted: Leadership in Oregon Education,” makes the right call for high standards and well-designed assessments for Oregon’s students. I believe the national standards currently being considered and adopted across our nation are the right ones for our students.

I strongly support their adoption and the promise they hold for improving education across the country and here in Oregon. These K-12 content standards define the knowledge and skills our students need for success in college and today’s work force.

Consistent standards will provide high-quality academic benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live. Over time, the standards will also increase the efficiency of our education system by providing Oregon the opportunity to share experiences and best practices with other states. This will allow for the streamlining of important and often costly undertakings, such as curriculum and assessment development.

However, adoption of these standards is merely a first step. We must think critically about how we ensure these standards are successfully implemented. This means, in part, ensuring that the primary elements of our educational system — curriculum, instruction, teacher preparation, professional development, and assessment — are

aligned to support implementation.

Our students, parents, and educators deserve standards that are implemented as part of a well-supported, cohesive and seamless education system.

Oregon’s mathematics standards are nationally recognized for their clarity, and we are focusing on how we keep the best of our math standards in moving forward with adoption of the recently developed national standards.

There is no reason this information should be made available to the public.

These are not records of “government activity.” These are records of private information, extorted by the state in order for Oregonians to exercise what should be a right. There is no more a need for this information to be in the public domain than should our tax records.

There are at least 8,000 CCW holders in this county who should not be voting for Stiegler.

Keep permits secret

Noisy activists

The Bulletin’s Aug. 4 article on concealed weapons permits did not report that Rep. Judy Stiegler is responsible for putting all CCW (carry concealed weapons permit) holders at risk. In 2009, state Reps. Kim Thatcher and Jeff Barker introduced HB 2727 to make this data private. The bill had broad bipartisan support and seemed to be a sure thing until Stiegler stepped in to scuttle it. Later Stiegler blamed voters who strongly supported the bill for its failure!

Stiegler was also responsible for the death of a bill in 2009 that would have had Oregon recognize other states’ concealed handgun licenses, a bill that was strongly supported by the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association. Stiegler has done more to damage gun rights in Oregon than anti-gun Rep. Ginny Burdick.

It occurs to me that the people who are so upset about the geese exhibit some of the same traits as the geese.

Where one birdbrain goes, the rest seem to follow. They move into an area without thought or concern for others. They are loud, obnoxious and try to impose their will onto others with incessant yakking, honking and flapping of pseudo-intellectual wings.

After creating a mess and leaving enough stuff around that started this entire situation, they move on to other feeding grounds. If they are so concerned with animal rights and want to rub elbows with wildlife, why not move to the Amazon or the Congo and try the same tactics there? I wonder how that would work out for them.

The trivial matters that trip up congressional candidates I GAIL have been thinking about the fact that Colorado Republicans rejected their front-running candidate for governor, Scott McInnis, apparently on the grounds that he committed plagiarism.

McInnis, a former congressman, was once paid $300,000 by a right-wing foundation to write a series of articles called “Musings on Water.” It turns out that he lifted large chunks of the final product from the work of a local judge.

This story raised many questions, most critically one about where the rest of us can find foundations that will pay us $300,000 to write some essays on water rights.

Also, would Coloradans find plagiarism so upsetting that they would actually vote for the only alternative to McInnis?

This was Dan Maes, a political newcomer who recently claimed that Denver’s effort to encourage bike riding was a plot, probably inspired by the United Nations, to “threaten our personal freedoms.”

Yes, they would.

It’s possible that this was just another example of the Republicans’ tea party death wish. But we do seem to be hav-

ing a lot of squabbles about politicians’ personal probity: Who exaggerated military service or added on an extra college degree or Photoshopped pictures on the campaign website? Do you think it’s a hint that despite the extreme difficulties the country’s in, the candidates don’t really have any idea how to get us out?

Consider Ben Quayle, the son of the former vice president. He’s running for Congress in Arizona. He’s been accused of both using a phony family in his campaign pictures and helping to found a local porn site. In response, he’s come up with a new ad in which he announces that Barack Obama is the “worst president in history,” swiftly bemoans “drug cartels in Mexico, tax cartels in D.C.” and concludes that “somebody has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place.”

Talk about a clear agenda for change.

Although Quayle does show a terrible disrespect for the records of Warren Harding and James Buchanan.

Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Or the potatoe. Let me go on the record as saying that I think Quayle is get-

COLLINS ting a bad rap on the phony family issue.

The children in his campaign pictures are his nieces. They count. It’s not as if he rented a dog for the afternoon — the way a successful congressional candidate did in Kansas. Quayle’s Republican opponents should drop this silly business immediately and focus their attention on serious matters. Such as charges by the founder of the website DirtyScottsdale that Quayle helped him set up the site and contributed posts that chronicled his search for “the hottest chick in Scottsdale.”

Voters are interested in these morality side issues under two circumstances. One is if they disliked the candidate anyhow and are thrilled to discover some specific reason that does not require a discussion

of TARP. The other is that minor misdeeds can sometimes be the first clue that there’s someone on the ballot who’s off his rocker.

Like Wes Cooley of Oregon, a former House member who claimed to have served in Korea during the war when actually he had never left the U.S. It turned out that he had also lied about his marital status and having a law degree. Cooley’s political career was ruined and he vanished from sight only to re-emerge when he was charged with conning investors out of millions of dollars in a money-laundering scheme. His unsuccessful defense was that he had a medical condition that had wiped out his memory.

So, we would rather not have that.

But some of the current charges are trivial in the extreme. In Kentucky, Rand Paul has been attacked for failing to correct an interviewer who said Paul had graduated from Baylor University when, in fact, he got early admittance at Duke medical school that made it unnecessary for him to complete his undergraduate requirements. Get a life, Rand Paul critics.

Meanwhile, GQ published an article about Paul’s college days that suggested he got out of Baylor not a minute too soon.

It quoted one unnamed woman as saying that he and his friends had tied her up, blindfolded her and told her to smoke pot and give homage to an idol named Aqua Buddha. On Wednesday, the woman reappeared and clarified the whole saga for Greg Sargent of The Washington Post.

“The whole thing has been blown out of proportion,” she said. It simply involved a kind of hazing, in a room filled with pot smoke, followed by a trip where Paul and his pals “took me out to this creek and made me worship Aqua Buddha.”

I hope this is entirely clear now, Kentucky. Stop all this loose talk about Rand Paul kidnapping a coed and making her take drugs. It isn’t true! Calm down and focus on the bigger issues, like jobs and taxes and which candidate for the Senate has the longest history of forcing people to bow down before idols.

O When logic fails, just cry ‘Bigot!’

A

nti-Hispanic, anti-gay, antiMuslim, anti-black — it is hard to keep track of all the recent charges of alleged bigotry.

State representatives in Arizona overwhelmingly passed an immigration law to popular acclaim — which the Obama administration for now has successfully blocked in federal court.

Arizonans simply wanted the federal government to enforce its own laws.

And yet they were quickly dubbed bigots and racists — more worried about profiling Hispanics than curtailing illegal immigration.

In California, a federal judge has just overturned Proposition 8 ensuring traditional marriage. Voters in November 2008 had amended the California constitution to recognize marriage only between a man and woman, while allowing civil unions between partners of the same sex.

Californians took that step in response to the California Supreme Court’s voiding of Proposition 22, a similar referendum on traditional marriage that California voters passed in 2000. Apparently, a stubborn majority of Californians still sees traditional marriage as it has been followed in some 2,500 years of Western custom and practice. In contrast, gay groups have framed the issue as one of civil rights, often charging prejudice on the part of their opponents.

Another controversy is brewing

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON a mere 600 feet from ground zero in lower Manhattan, site of the 9/11 attacks, where a Muslim group wishes to build a $100 million, 13-story mosque.

Opponents feel this is hardly a way to build bridges across religious divides, but instead a provocative act that tarnishes the memory of the nearly 3,000 people who died at the hands of radical Islamic terrorists.

New York state residents poll in opposition to the project. Their unease reflects legitimate questions over the nature of the foreign funding for the project and the disturbing writings and statements of the chief proponent of the plan, Feisal Abdul Rauf. They also worry that radical Islamists will use the mosque’s construction (it will probably rise before the World Trade Center complex is rebuilt) as a propaganda tool.

In response, once again the majority has been dubbed bigoted and prejudiced, this time against Muslims, for asking for a more appropriate location, farther away from ground zero.

After lengthy investigation, Rep.

Charles Rangel, former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, is facing charges of unethical conduct. In response, Rangel has scoffed that a plea bargain offer was nothing more than an “English, Anglo-Saxon procedure.” The inference was that ongoing prejudice, not moral lapses, caused Rangel’s problems.

Rangel’s charges come at a time when Rep. Maxine Waters faces ethics questions for allegedly using her office to steer federal money to a bank that was associated with her husband.

And since eight members of the Congressional Black Caucus have recently faced ethics inquiries, we are hearing that race, not unethical conduct, is the real reason for the investigations.

These diverse cases offer some lessons.

One, legitimate public concerns can be reduced to religious, ethnic or racial prejudice in hopes that the debate will hinge on supposedly bad motives rather than convincing arguments. Ad hominem attacks are always a sign of shaky logic.

Two, in most of these cases, the majority is opposed by a variety of activist groups, government officials and judges. The charge of bigotry is usually expressed in terms of a sophisticated liberal-thinking elite reining in the emotional and illogical unwashed masses. We saw proof of that with the release of confidential e-mails from

the controversial “Journolist” group composed largely of influential liberal journalists, some of whom openly advocated defaming their opponents by calling them racists.

Three, these cry-wolf tactics are now stale. A real danger is that when legitimate charges of prejudice are leveled in the future, most will shrug and ignore them.

We live in a complex, multiracial and religiously diverse society. A majority of black voters in California opposed gay marriage. Most Muslims probably concurred. Some 70 percent of Americans expressed support for the Arizona law, an overwhelming figure that would have to include some Asians, blacks and Hispanics. White and Hispanic congressional officials have faced ethics charges, often more serious than those leveled against Rangel and Waters.

In other words, there is no simple ideological, racial or religious divide between a monolithic “us” and “them.”

Instead, we have devolved to the point where promiscuously crying “Bigot!” and “Racist!” signals a failure to persuade 51 percent of the people of the merits of an argument.

It is too often that simple — and that sad.

stuff one year and then filing for bankruptcy the next. They can plan for the future.

Canada’s health care system likewise makes budgeting for operating expenses far more predictable for employers.

The Canadian single-payer system is not my health care ideal. I prefer the multi-payer setup in France — or the emerging American health care system, if the reforms can control costs.

But the vast majority of Canadians are content with their medical care.

So how are Canadian businesses doing these days relative to ours? It’s true that the Standard & Poor’s index

of 500 large U.S. companies has done pretty well this year. But the Toronto exchange’s index of large-cap Canadian stocks did 27 percent better.

Periodic booms and busts don’t have to be Americans’ fate. Some people get very rich off them. But for ordinary folk, slow and steady wins the race.

Support for letting government install some speed bumps to enhance their financial stability has left Canadians fat and happy. We could live the same way.

Ground zero mosque and moderate Muslims

By F areed Zakaria Newsweek Magazine

E

ver since 9/11, liberals and conservatives have agreed that the lasting solution to the problem of Islamic terror is to prevail in the battle of ideas and to discredit radical Islam, the ideology that motivates young men to kill and be killed. Victory in the war on terror will be won when a moderate, mainstream version of Islam — one that is compatible with modernity — fully triumphs over the worldview of Osama bin Laden.

As the conservative Middle Eastern expert Daniel Pipes put it, “The U.S. role (in this struggle) is less to offer its own views than to help those Muslims with compatible views, especially on such issues as relations with non-Muslims, modernization, and the rights of women and minorities.” To that end, early in its tenure the Bush administration began a serious effort to seek out and support moderate Islam. Since then, Washington has funded mosques, schools, institutes and community centers that are trying to modernize Islam around the world.

Except, apparently, in New York City.

The debate over whether an Islamic center should be built a few blocks from the World Trade Center site has ignored a fundamental point. If there is going to be a reformist movement in Islam, it is going to emerge from places like the

proposed institute. We should be encouraging groups like the one behind this project, not demonizing them. Were this mosque being built in a foreign city, chances are that the U.S. government would be funding it.

The man spearheading the center, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, is a moderate Muslim clergyman. He has said one or two things about American foreign policy that strike me as overly critical — but it’s stuff you could read on The Huffington Post any day.

On Islam, his main subject, Rauf’s views are clear: He routinely denounces all terrorism — as he did again last week, publicly. He speaks of the need for Muslims to live peacefully with all other religions. He emphasizes the commonalities among all faiths. He advocates equal rights for women, and argues against laws that in any way punish non-Muslims. His last book, “What’s Right With Islam Is What’s Right With America,” argues that the United States is actually the ideal Islamic society because it encourages diversity and promotes freedom for individuals and for all religions. His vision of Islam is bin Laden’s nightmare.

Rauf often makes his arguments using interpretations of the Quran and other texts. Now, I am not a religious person, and this method strikes me as convoluted and jesuitical. But for the

If there is going to be a reformist movement in Islam, it is going to emerge from places like the proposed institute (at ground zero). vast majority of believing Muslims, only an argument that is compatible with their faith is going to sway them.

The Somali-born “ex-Muslim” writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s advice to Muslims is to convert to Christianity. That may create buzz, but it is unlikely to have any effect on the 1.2 billion devout Muslims in the world.

The much larger issue that this center raises is, of course, of freedom of religion in America. Much has been written about this, and I would only urge people to read Michael Bloomberg’s speech on the subject last week.

Bloomberg’s eloquent, brave and carefully reasoned address should become required reading in every civics classroom in America. It probably will.

Bloomberg’s speech stands in stark contrast to the bizarre decision of the Anti-Defamation League to publicly side with those urging that the center

F

be moved. The ADL’s mission statement says it seeks “to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens.” But Abraham Foxman, the head of the ADL, explained that we must all respect the feelings of the 9/11 families, even if they are prejudiced feelings. “Their anguish entitles them to positions that others would categorize as irrational or bigoted,” he said.

First, the 9/11 families have mixed views on this mosque. There were, after all, dozens of Muslims killed at the World Trade Center. Do their feelings count? But more important, does Foxman believe that bigotry is OK if people think they’re victims? Does the anguish of Palestinians, then, entitle them to be anti-Semitic?

Five years ago, the ADL honored me with its Hubert H. Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize. I was thrilled to get the award from an organization that I had long admired. But I cannot in good conscience keep it anymore. I have returned both the handsome plaque and the $10,000 honorarium that came with it. I urge the ADL to reverse its decision. Admitting an error is a small price to pay to regain a reputation.

Yell all you want about Americans who borrowed beyond their means.

Canada had rules that stopped people from borrowing beyond their means.

As a result, Canada was spared a U.S.style housing bubble, which was fed in part by the ability of little people to borrow big and use the money to bid up home prices.

By the way, Canadian home prices rose almost 14 percent in May from a year earlier. And the World Economic Forum now ranks Canada’s banking system the safest on earth.

There are differences in the two countries’ situations that do give Canada an advantage. One is Canada’s enormous wealth of natural resources, especially oil. Another is the United States’ role as keeper of global security — a job that other countries are all too pleased to give us. This greatly cuts the amount Canada must spend on its defense.

But Canada’s smart government regulation is its own creation. That may make it harder for a few financial wizards to score a quick fortune, but it keeps the economy on an even keel.

Merchants, manufacturers and other economic players don’t have their customers hauling off huge cartloads of

Roommates who make you grow or a time in college, I shared a dorm suite with three other girls.

We food shopped and ate dinner together but always squabbled over what groceries to buy. It got to the point where the only food we could agree on was corn, so that was what we got.

This upset my mother, who used to call me regularly to ominously demand: “Do you know why the Incas are extinct?”

This was B.G. (Before Google). So I simply assumed that it either had to do with too much maize in the Inca diet or that Mom was just trying to scare me into healthier behavior — as when she attempted to ward off any tequila-tippling by calling to ask portentously: “Do you know why so many tequila drinkers have nervous breakdowns?”

Anyway, on one shopping expedition, I had a big fight with a roommate, no doubt over whether to get canned or frozen corn, creamed or whole kernel.

We were at a supermarket in a blighted part of D.C. My roommate got furious, stormed off in her car and left me stranded. I called my brother Kevin to come get me. On the way back to school, he offered this advice: “Never pick a fight with the guy who’s driving.”

I took that to heart, literally and metaphorically. It has spared me plenty of problems since.

The serendipity of ending up with roommates that you like, despite your differences, or can’t stand, despite your similarities, or grow to like, despite your reservations, is an experience that toughens you up and broadens you out for the rest of life. So I was dubious when I read in The Wall Street Journal recently that students are relying more on online roommate matching services to avoid getting paired with strangers or peers with different political views, study habits and messiness quotients.

A University of Florida official told The Journal that a quarter of incoming freshmen signed up to a Facebook application called RoomBug to seek out a roommate they thought would be more compatible than a random selection.

Other students are using URoomSurf. It makes matches with questions like these: How often do you shower? How neat are you? How outgoing are you? What’s your study/party balance? Is it OK for your roommate to use your belongings?

I guess if I had used URoomSurf, I might have avoided those donnybrooks with one pill of a roommate. But cohabiting with snarly and moody roomies prepared me for the working world, where people can be outlandishly cantankerous over small stuff.

Just as rooming with Donna taught me humility. She was the sexiest girl on campus, an actress who would later brush off John Travolta in the Bee Gees-scored opening credits of “Saturday Night Fever.”

And Susan, who wouldn’t leave the room when it rained and who lost 20 pounds on an all-brownies diet, taught me to tolerate quirks.

I knew the lovely Susan would be my friend for life when I arrived in our freshman-year room shadowed by my mom, who was carrying a butcher knife, a can of Mace and a letter opener. Mom wanted us to be well armed against rapists — she wrote down instructions about how to insert the letter opener into an attacker’s jugular — and Susan appreciated the gesture. As in Darwinian evolution, crosspollination with diverse strains promotes species development.

One young woman I know was appalled at first that the giggly cheerleader and former prom queen sharing her freshman room at the University of Pennsylvania put up ’N Sync posters “unironically.” But in the end, she realized that just because her roommate loved ’N Sync and wore cute outfits did not necessary mean she was shallow. And the prom queen realized that just because you hum when you write papers doesn’t mean you’re mentally ill.

Choosing roommates who are mirror images may fit with our narcissistic and microtargeted society, but it retards creativity and social growth. This reluctance to mix it up also has been reflected in the lack of full-throated political and cultural debates on campuses, replaced by a quiet acceptance of differing views or an obnoxious stereotyping of anyone different.

Besides intensifying partisanship and conspiracy theories — think the birthers — the Internet divides the world more firmly into niches, birds of a feather avidly flocking together. College is not only where you hit the books. It also should be where you learn not to judge a book by its cover.

Canada’s financial regulation enviable uppose the U.S. government had posted a budget surplus in 12 of the past 13 years. Suppose not a single major American financial institution had failed or needed a government bailout. Suppose the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 6.1 percent in the first quarter of this year, rather than at 2.7 percent.

Wouldn’t that make you happy?

These cheering economic indicators happen to be reality in Canada. They did not come about because Canadians are more virtuous or they don’t have subprime mortgages (they do) or they didn’t keep interest rates very low (their rates were much like ours). What Canada had was a civic culture that wanted government to regulate financial activity.

What we have is an elite willing to risk everyone else’s economic security to enable a few hotshots to win big at the casino of recklessness and fraud — while maintaining a variety of taxpayer backstops to reduce their risks.

The joint never gets closed, also thanks to the large numbers of ordinary citizens trained to holler “socialism” every time the government tries to set a ground rule. A satanic belief in the rightness of free markets to punish the unsophisticated almost halted the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Canada has long had its Financial Consumer Agency, which stops the craziest of lending practices. Canada regulates mortgage terms so that borrowers — be they greedy, reckless or plain suckers — are less likely to crumple when, sometime down the road, an

The paved road has given way to dirt. At its narrowest stretches, with trees all around and hints of the craggy Maine shoreline ahead, it most likely looks the way it did when Millicent Monks’ great-grandfather bought the entire island in the 1890s.

Branches brush against the Lexus SUV, and its driver, Monks’ husband, Bobby, slows to make way for a woman, dressed for the summer rain, who appears on the path.

“That’s my ex-stepbrother’s exwife,” Monks, 75, says as she and the woman exchange waves.

“That’s what it’s like around here.”

Indeed. There are 42 families, all loosely related, on this private island in southern Maine, one of the trio Monks refers to in her memoir, “Songs of Three Islands: A Story of Mental Illness in an Iconic American Family,” recently published by Atlas & Co. The family of the subtitle is the Carnegies; Millicent’s greatgrandfather on her mother’s side was Thomas, brother to Andrew.

The first of the islands, Cumberland, off the coast of Georgia, is where generations of Carnegies (and a few of the Rockefellers they married) enjoyed the luxuries of the Gilded Age. It has since become a national park, and was where John F. Kennedy Jr. married Carolyn Bessette.

This second, near Portland, Maine, is the one Monks named Crescent Island in her book, to protect its residents’ privacy. It belonged to her father’s side of the family and is where she now lives.

The third is Northern Island, near the Canadian border, rustic and isolated. Owned by her husband’s family, it is where the couple plan to be buried. Her original house on Crescent Island burned down years ago; it was replaced by an exquisite cottage, regal and homey at the same time.

Determined to maintain their privacy, they joke that it is the “world’s largest one-bedroom house” — with no room for overnight guests or live-in staff. Bobby Monks has learned to cook, so there is no need for a chef.

Most of their time is spent on the window-walled second floor, almost Caribbean in its peach and yellow decor, giving it a perpetually sunlit feeling, even on a gray Maine day.

Chasing away the gray is the reason Monks wrote her slim, lyrical memoir, which tells the physical journey of a family from one island to the next.

It also explores, for the first time publicly, the thread of mental illness woven through the seemingly glittering tapestry. Her family, as she tells it, is like any family struggling with a genetic shadow. Hers is also unlike any other family you might know.

The beginning It all seems to have begun with Monks’ great-grandmother, the one known as Mama Negie, left with nine children when Thomas died at the age of 42. She was a powerful matriarch, but she had “spells” of illness over the years, her granddaughter remembered, disappearing into the tower at her grand Cumberland home and not coming out for meals.

She spent time at McLean Hospital, a psychiatric institution outside Boston. Her illness was not spoken of by the family, Monks’ mother told her.

“You simply did not talk about such things in those days,” she says.

It’s not hard to glimpse her mother’s regal bearing as she says this, though the daughter, with sad eyes and a warm smile, seems both more fragile and more approachable than portraits of her mother seem to be.

Silence was the expectation when Mama Negie’s granddaughter Lucy — Monks’ mother — began to have “spells,” too. Today, Lucy would have been known as “an unstable or troubled child,” her daughter says, but life on an is-

land helped to “contain” her.

Lucy could be wild and dramatic and impetuous in that untamed space. But when she married and moved to the “real world” — specifically, Boston — and then when her husband left her for what ultimately would be three more marriages (and 11 children), Lucy “broke.” And Monks was trapped alone with her.

Her earliest memories are of nannies and chauffeurs, of summers on Crescent Island and Easter vacations on Cumberland. But then her mother became fearful, certain that Monks was filled with poison from the unpasteurized milk her husband insisted the family drink. Her parents began having screaming arguments, complete with shattering glassware.

In the years after her husband left, Lucy became a spectral shut-in, hiding behind curtains or sitting motionless for hours in oversized chairs, leaving the house only to find the company of nameless men. For a time she had Monks hospitalized, begging doctors to clear the poison from her daughter’s blood. The nannies and maids and cooks all quit, saying, Monks writes, “It’s your mother, I can’t be around her.”

‘Looking in the mirror’ During an afternoon of conversation earlier this summer, Monks spoke matter-of-factly about her macabre childhood, describing an escape into music and writing and fantasy. With no adult in her life to consistently provide food, clothing or love, she began to fail in school, steal candy bars from newsstands and wear dresses that were several sizes too small.

In her dust-covered house she developed odd fears of her own.

“Gradually I became afraid of looking in the mirror,” she writes, “terrified as the years went on that if I looked in the mirror, I wouldn’t see my reflection, but my mother’s face staring back at me. … Even more frightening, though, was my fear that I would look in the mirror and see no one at all.”

Her escape was her marriage to Robert Monks, Bobby to all, a 6-foot-6 member of Harvard University’s varsity crew team.

He still towers over his wife, and gives the feeling that he is protecting her.

His old Boston family had its own fortune, which, while somewhat modest if your yardstick is the Carnegies, was substantial enough that “when I graduated from law school I became the first member of my family to actually earn a living in 100 years,” he jokes. And his family owned an island, too.

The couple married in 1954, five months after they met, when they were each 20. Monks saw marriage as a new start, a chance to leave her mother’s secrets and sorrows behind. Their daughter, whom Monks calls Sandra in her book, was born two years later, and their son, whom she calls Angus, arrived 18 months after that.

The girl was a difficult baby and a troubled adolescent. The only person who could calm her, or who seemed to understand her, was her grandmother Lucy.

It was a call from Sandra’s first-grade teacher that Monks remembers as the crystallizing moment.

“We can’t control her,” the teacher said, suggesting a meeting with the school psychiatrist.

It was the first time Monks remembers thinking, “What if my daughter was ill like Lucy?”

The years that followed were filled with Sandra’s rages, Monks’ depression, Sandra’s hospitalizations at McLean (where Mama Negie had spent time) and Monks’ feelings that she was the reason for her daughter’s troubles.

Some answers The diagnosis, at first, was paranoid schizophrenia, the same one given to Lucy. Psychiatry in the 1950s placed blame squarely with a patient’s mother.

Years of Lucy telling her she was

Millicent Monks, a Carnegie descendant, stands with her husband, Bobby, near their home in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Monks’ book, “Songs of Three Islands: A Story of Mental Illness in an Iconic American Family,” tells of the Carnegie family’s struggle with genetic disorders.

filled with poison left Monks thinking that she had somehow, psychically, poisoned her daughter, and she wondered if the doctors were right to blame her.

Over the years, Monks developed breast cancer, and she now believes that the trigger was a lifetime of stress. She founded a dance company, then disbanded it when caring for her daughter became overwhelming.

She discovered Jungian analysis and Transcendental Meditation and stopped speaking to her own father, though he lived, until his death, in a house within view of hers. He was, she has come to believe, as ill in his own way as Lucy, who was as ill as Sandra.

In time, Sandra married, had two children and then divorced. Now 55, she has a house on Crescent Island, and the company of a

companion hired by her parents.

Not until 1978, when Sandra was an adult, did her doctors propose a different diagnosis: borderline personality disorder, a condition that was new to the field. Along with its description — a high suicide rate, a tendency toward uncontrolled rage, an inability to regulate one’s impulses, no known effective treatment — there was other news.

“Some in the profession no longer believe a dysfunctional family is the only cause,” Monks recalls being told, and all these years later her voice still breaks slightly with relief.

The glimmer of absolution in the diagnosis didn’t change life completely, Monks says in her study in the turret overlooking her father’s old house. But it was the start of a realization that her

Carnegie inheritance was more than just a name or an island; it was also a legacy of pain.

Sandra declined to be interviewed, but sent an e-mail via her lawyer. Noting that her mother quotes directly from Sandra’s journals in her book, which Sandra allowed her to use, she wrote, “my poor mother has taken some of my stories and writings and mixed them all up and put them out of context and sadly created a fantasy of me that she wants others and herself to believe.

That people do things like this to each other feels tragic; certainly not in accord with those of us who are trying really hard to bring Light, Love, forgiveness and PEACE into this world.”

True, the storied name of Carnegie can bring moments of pleasure, like “when Isaac Stern sat next to me at dinner and told me ‘I love Carnegie Hall, it’s the most wonderful place in the world to play.’ ” But more often she wonders, “Where were all the Carnegies when I was sitting alone and miserable in my room all those years, hiding from my mother?”

Probing the private side of Polish political action

THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE

“A Thousand Peaceful Cities: A Novel”

by Jerzy Pilch, translated from Polish by David Frick (Open Letter, 144 pgs., $14.95)

By David L. Ulin Los Angeles Times

“Star Wars: Year by Year” is a chronology of “Star Wars” and the effect it has had on popular culture since the first film opened in theaters in 1977.

‘Star Wars’ book takes a look at movies’ pop culture power “Star Wars: Year by Year” edited by Lucy Dowling (DK Publishing, New York, 320 pgs., $50)

By Tish Wells McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Where were you when “Star Wars” opened in 1977? If you were in the theater, then you may have grandchildren now.

Released more than three decades ago, the movie exploded across the popular culture scene.

The effects are documented in “Star Wars: Year by Year” — which really should be called the life and times of film director George Lucas.

This lavishly illustrated chronology attempts to put Lucas, and his films, within the context of the 20th century popular culture.

By the time you reach 2010, you will be suffering from sheer overload.

To fans, “Star Wars” has always been more than the six movies. Even back in the early 1980s, when “Return of the Jedi” was released, there had been a plethora of marketing — toys, trading

cards, cake pans, bedding and jewelry — and expansion of the original stories through novels, comic books and radio programs.

Nostalgic tidbits are assembled for easy browsing.

For example, on page 122, in 1985, is Mikhail Gorbachev’s election to general secretary of the USSR. Actress Keira Knightley (of “The Phantom Menace”) is born. The “Star Wars” trilogy, back-to-back, is released worldwide in theaters for special showings. Toymaker Kenner releases Yak Face, a soon-to-be-rare collectable action figure. President Ronald Reagan mentions “Star Wars” in a speech referring to the Strategic Defense Initiative, a system he wanted scientists to create that would destroy ballistic missiles before they reached American soil. Lucasfilm’s protests to media organizations about the misuse of the term “Star Wars” were wildly ignored.

It is also a chronology of technology. When the movie was first released, there were no home computers, no VCRs, no digital

television, no streaming video. If you wanted to see the movie, you went to the theater — and people did, by the thousands. Now, even a casual fan can view episodes of the animated “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” on the Cartoon Network website.

The book even covers some of the intense fan following. The original official fan club, soon to be named Bantha Tracks, started in 1978, peaked in 1984 with 184,046 members and folded in 1987, only to be resurrected in 2002. Two complete pages are devoted to 2007’s Vader Project, in which artists decorated 100 Darth Vader helmets.

While “Year by Year” is onestop shopping for solving many “Star Wars” arguments, it won’t solve all of them — it doesn’t have the space. But there are details for even the most in-depth follower of Lucas’ work.

After all, who knew that in 1988 a group of Tibetan monks recorded chants in the Scoring Stage at Lucasfilm’s Skywalker Ranch?

Author delivers thrilling piece about unreliable memories “I’d Know You Anywhere”

by Laura Lippman (Morrow, 384 pgs., $25.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

The alchemy of memory and fact, of guilt and surviving, and the relationship between predator and prey meld in the superior psychological thriller “I’d Know You Anywhere.”

Laura Lippman’s sixth standalone novel and 16th work of fiction starts quietly before building to a startling crescendo. “I’d Know You Anywhere” delivers a thrilling treatise on unreliable memories, on survivor guilt, emotional health and the intrusion of violence. “I’d Know You Anywhere” also is a novel about intimacy — how well does anyone know another person or oneself? Once again, Lippman shows she understands the human heart, the power of love and the value of self-preservation.

Eliza Benedict revels in life’s mundane chores — a trip to the supermarket; an argument with

her 8-year-old son when she refuses to get him a cell phone; the usual teenage angst with her 13year-old daughter. The 38-yearold full-time stay-at-home mom finds pleasure and purpose in these little household dramas as she and her family adjust to being back in the United States after six years of living in London. But Eliza’s quiet life in suburban Maryland erupts when she receives a letter containing a clipped magazine photo, a picture of her and her husband with the phrase “I’d know you anywhere” penciled at the bottom. The letter is from Walter Bowman, who kidnapped and raped Eliza the summer she was 15 and who now is on death row, a few weeks before he is to be executed for the murder of other teenage girls.

Eliza is both appalled and curious about Walter’s note. But ignoring Walter does little good.

The letters continue and draw in Barbara LaFortuny, a prisoners’ advocate, who tries to berate Eliza into getting in touch with Walter. Eliza epitomizes the word

survivor — she is emotionally healthy, has made a good life for herself, and has no intention of being pulled back into the world of this manipulator. Yet, for more than two decades, Eliza has been curious about one thing: Why did Walter let her live?

Lippman, who launched her career with her series on Baltimore private detective Tess Monaghan, delivers thorough character studies in the superb “I’d Know You Anywhere.” Eliza proves her resourcefulness and intelligence throughout the novel, even when reliving the horrific six weeks with Walter. The man took her innocence, but she will not allow him to intrude on her adult life.

Lippman brings that same care to Walter, letting the reader see him as a man and as a monster.

The fragility of memory has been a recurring theme for Lippman, which she so expertly explored in last year’s “Life Sentence.” “I’d Know You Anywhere” reinforces that one person’s memory may be another’s fantasy.

There’s a serious question at the center of Jerzy Pilch’s comic novel “A Thousand Peaceful Cities”: Is political violence ever justified?

“There must be punishment, and it is the superior authorities who are to punish,” a drunkard named Mr. Traba declares midway through the book, which takes place in Poland in fall 1963, a relatively liberal period in the country’s communist history.

“If injustices should not cease, make report about this … to your superior authority, your father or whomever is placed over you to exercise office: it is their task to punish according to righteousness.”

The irony, of course, is that Traba, a retired clergyman — dissolute, self-deceiving and larger-than-life only because of the smallness of his circumstances — has appointed himself just such a superior authority. In the name of Polish patriotism, he hatches a plan to kill Wladyslaw Gomulka, first secretary of the Polish United Workers’ Party.

(Gomulka is a historical figure who ruled Poland from 1956 to 1970.) This plot, concocted with the help of his best friend, a retired postal administrator, motivates the novel, although the

narrative takes full shape only once the men involve the latter’s son, the teenaged Jerzyk, in the conspiracy, with the idea that it will help make him a man.

While the idea of a quixotic assassination attempt as rite of passage seems ridiculous, it offers Pilch — a prize-winning Polish novelist and newspaper columnist — a way to get at the absurdity of politics, the unbridgeable gap between public and private life. Before the fall of communism, life in Eastern Europe was often defined by the cautious discourse of the outer world, a discourse that concealed something more complex and personal. Everyone was a dissident of a kind. That’s the subtext to “A Thousand Peaceful Cities,” the way that, as we come to an adult awareness, we begin to trace the contours of this divide.

In that sense, the novel is very much Jerzyk’s story, with Pilch relying on the boy as a narrator and interpretive guide. When we first meet him, he is listening to Traba harangue his father while copying down their words in the margins of a mathematics notebook. The more he listens, the more he begins to anticipate the dialogue, to transcribe not just what the men are saying but also what they are about to say.

Sometimes he gets it right and sometimes not, but either way, the exercise hints at his desire to see inside their interactions, to peel back the surface of the conversation and get at the hidden

meanings underneath.

And what are these hidden meanings? Here we see the strength of the novel, for there are none other than those the characters themselves assign.

Again, we come face to face with the absurd, a common theme in Eastern European literature, especially that which deals with the communist era. In such a society, the official stories are so disconnected from the daily existence of the people that inner life becomes disconnected as well.

Traba is a perfect example, with his grand fantasies of political retribution, his sense of himself as a heroic force. “For as long as I can remember,” he says, “I’ve been trying, every day, to change something. And now … I intend to do something for the world as long as I’m still here, something which — I won’t hide the fact — will relieve the monotony of the final act of my existence on this vale of tears.” The conceit is that he’s dying, but everyone knows that this is not the case. Rather, Traba is simply trying to raise the level of the drama, to add an epic dimension to what might otherwise appear to be the most ordinary and circumscribed of lives.

The result is a vivid tension that is only amplified by the exuberance of the book. In Pilch’s treatment, Traba becomes almost a Falstaffian figure, full of high-handed advice on the art of living, rewarding himself with a drink for each bon mot.

The beneficiary is not so much his friend as it is Jerzyk, whose desires are equally indistinct.

Election Continued from F1 A governor, the thinking goes, can open fundraising doors, getout-the-vote operations and volunteer lists for his or her party’s presidential candidate.

“Looking through the scope of national politics, I would make the case that the governors’ races this year are as important as the federal races, if not more important,” said Nick Ayers, the executive director of the Republican Governors Association.

President Barack Obama is scheduled to fly to Wisconsin on Monday to raise money for Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee, who is trying to keep the governorship in Democratic hands.

Two days later, the president will do the same in Ohio for Gov. Ted Strickland, a Democrat in a tight re-election race and someone for whom the White House has already dispatched others, including the vice president, four times this year.

In a year with an especially large number of governor elections — made even larger by a special election in Utah — an unusually high portion of them, 24, are for open seats, meaning that nearly half of the states (and probably more) will have new leaders after the midterm elections.

So focused are party leaders on the redistricting fight ahead that Democrats have created a small donor fundraising program — called Project Surge (for Stop Republican Gerrymandering) — aimed at the remap.

As it stands, 26 governors are Democrats and 24 are Republican. Of the 37 seats up for election this year, just more than half are held by Democrats. And of the 24 incumbents who are not running for re-election — because of term limits, poor odds of winning or something else entirely — the political parties are evenly split.

But in a moment of anti-Washington, anti-incumbent sentiment, grim economic times and a Democratic administration, most agree that the odds do not favor Democrats. A president’s party generally loses five or so seats in a midterm election, said Nathan Daschle, executive director of the Democratic Governors Association.

“As difficult as we knew this year would be, given both a historic midterm effect and a Bush economic hangover, voters still want to move forward to a brighter future,” Daschle said. “What they do not want is to go back to the failed Republican policies that created this mess.”

Some nonpartisan observers, however, are predicting a modest but potentially important shift to the Republicans. Jennifer Duffy, who tracks governors’ races for the Cook Political Report, said that she expected the parties to swap governors’ seats here and there in November, but that, in the end, Republicans would probably gain three to five seats.

Karl Rove, the Republican strategist, said he saw opportunities for sweeping gains through the industrial Midwest and into other national battlegrounds — like Nevada, New Mexico and Oregon — all of which would create new obstacles for an Obama re-election bid.

Months of campaigning, of course, still loom — which Democrats are quick to point out.

“I think the GOP insiders are so cocky and overconfident right now that they are acting like

“Looking through the scope of national politics, I would make the case that the governors’ races this year are as important as the federal races, if not more important.”

— Nick Ayers, executive director, Republican Governors Association they have won all these,” Barrett, the Democratic candidate in Wisconsin, said last week after speaking at opening ceremonies of the State Fair in West Allis.

“By the time we get to November, the voters are going to want to change again.”

Barrett’s likely Republican opponent, Scott Walker, the executive of Milwaukee County, has been crisscrossing the state for months, talking to factory workers at dozens of brown-bag lunches, and cautioning that a Governor Barrett would mean four more years of the same economic policies as Gov. James Doyle, a Democrat who, amid anemic approval ratings, decided not to seek a third term.

“Austerity is in,” said Walker, who regularly reminds audiences that he has for years carried brown-bag lunches (two hamand-cheese sandwiches) to his office and is pledging to shrink the size of state government.

“For me, the ultimate question I tell voters is: If you feel like the last eight years of Jim Doyle has helped the economy of Wisconsin, then you should vote for Tom Barrett.”

While issues like education, illegal immigration, same-sex marriage, high-speed rail and energy have emerged in some of the races for governor, the conversation this season in nearly every state almost always swiftly returns to the economy: the mostly dismal state budget deficits, disappearing jobs and high unemployment.

“I hear it in virtually every part of the state,” said Barrett, who said he himself was “not happy with where things are,” and sometimes imagined arriving at the governor’s office to find, among the welcome baskets and flower bouquets, an unwanted gift — a $2.5 billion to $2.7 billion deficit, the size of Wisconsin’s budget gap.

“There is dissatisfaction and uneasiness,” Barrett said. “That’s real.”

Barrett, who has proposed a “Put Madison on a Diet” program, has notably not campaigned with Doyle (although the two have appeared together at times), nor, Barrett says, does he agree with all of the governor’s programs.

Perhaps in a reflection of unease, another trend has emerged in the governors’ races: a wave of nontraditional campaigns.

In three New England states, independents are seen as true contenders.

Elsewhere, business people who have never (or rarely) sought political office are emerging as nominees. Last week, Rick Snyder, who once led Gateway Inc. and has never won public office, beat two longtime elected officials for the Republican nomination for governor in Michigan, a state held by a departing Democrat and which Republicans have high hopes of capturing in November.

‘Doodlebug’: The story of a girl through pictures

By Amanda Knowles McClatchy-Tribune News Service

No other books for kids compare to a novel written in doodles as Karen Romana Young does in “Doodlebug: A Novel in Doodles” ($14.99, Feiwel and Friends).

Young takes on the persona of the main character, Doreen “Dodo” Bussey, as her family moves, possibly because of her.

Dodo got in trouble at her last middle school and on the long journey to the new house, her mother gives her a notebook to write in. Instead, Dodo doodles in it and reinvents herself as the Doodlebug at her new school.

The book is original and animated. Each character has a little face drawn so that you can follow who is saying what, although some of the doodles are hard to follow because they are mixed in with the writing.

Dodo is a complex young character who realizes drawing can help her focus better.

The book is just as hectic as

Dodo’s thinking and as her life is at the moment.

It is sure to inspire creativity in children and teach them they can overcome obstacles that they may encounter.

There is a lot of diversity in the book. I like the fact that Dodo’s family is interracial; her mom is black and her dad is white. Dodo makes friends that are of different ethnicities, as can be seen in the way the characters are drawn.

It even helps break down gender barriers. Historically, secretaries have primarily been women, but in this book the school secretary is a man, Mr. Stein.

CHARLIE CHAN: A STEREOTYPE AND A HERO

Character gets his due in book

By Charles McGrath New York Times News Service

To many Asian-Americans, Charlie Chan is an offensive stereotype, a sort of yellow Uncle Tom. Chan, the hero of six detective novels

by Earl Derr Biggers and 47 Hollywood movies between 1926 and 1949, not to mention a 1970s Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, is pudgy, slanteyed and inscrutable, and he speaks in singsong fortunecookie English, saying things like, “If befriend donkey, expect to be kicked.” The California-born author and playwright Frank Chin, who has written essays denouncing Chan, would like to see him disappear altogether.

Yunte Huang, who was born and grew up in China, can’t get enough of Chan and has written a book about his obsession: “Charlie Chan: The Untold Story of the Honorable Detective and His Rendezvous With American History.” The book, which is scheduled for release Aug. 30, is part memoir, part history, part cultural-studies essay and part grab bag of odd and little-known details.

Biggers, who overlapped at Harvard with T.S. Eliot but did not exactly share his literary taste, said he got the idea for Chan while sitting in the New York Public Library in 1924 and reading about a real-life Honolulu detective named Chang Apana. Huang suggests that Biggers may have misremembered the details, but there is no doubt that Apana was the model for Chan, and Huang gives a full account of a life that was in many ways more interesting than the fictional version: Born in Hawaii to Chinese parents, Apana moved to China and then back to Hawaii, where despite being virtually illiterate, he rose in the detective ranks of the Honolulu police. He wore a cowboy hat, carried a bullwhip and was said to leap from rooftop to rooftop like a human fly.

Huang gives an equally full

account of Chan’s movie history and of the actor with whom he was most memorably associated: a Swede named Warner Oland, who played a Jew in the first talkie, “The Jazz Singer,” and then, because he had vaguely Asian features, made a specialty of Oriental villains. (The original Chan, George Kuwa, was Japanese.) Oland was a heavy drinker, Huang writes, and liked to take a nip before slipping into the Chan persona: It slowed down his speech and put a congenial, Chan-like grin on his face. In 1938, after Oland had boozed himself to a premature death and was replaced by an American named Sidney Toler, movie producers encouraged him to try the same trick.

But the most interesting story in “Charlie Chan” is Huang’s own. “I have an alphabetic destiny,” he said, laughing, over lunch in Chinatown last week.

In the late 1980s he had been a student at Beijing University and, after the protests in Tiananmen Square in 1989, where he would have been on the day tanks opened fire if his parents hadn’t lured him home on a false pretense, he determined to leave China. He got hold of a guidebook to American colleges, and “Alabama starts with A,” he pointed out. “I was pretty desperate to get out of the country, and the University of Alabama was the first school I looked up.” He added that when he got there, “Tuscaloosa was another planet,” and went on: “Nobody walked in the street. Everything was so slow, so clean and so empty.”

When he got sick of the South, Huang said, he decided to go to Buffalo, N.Y., for a Ph.D. in English literature. He felt, he writes in “Charlie Chan,” “like a bottom-feeding fish, one that cannot see the light of day in the muddy pond of America.”

But why Buffalo? “Buffalo begins with B,” he said, grinning.

He worked as a delivery boy there, but happily gave up the restaurant business. “Graduate school is really easy compared to restaurant work,” he pointed out.

At an estate sale he bought a couple of Biggers’ novels and

Yunte Huang, a Chinese-born scholar, pursued his obsession in writing “Charlie Chan: The Untold Story of the Honorable Detective and His Rendezvous with American History.” was immediately hooked. He began renting all the Chan movies he could find.

Huang, who is 41, divorced and the father of a young daughter, speaks nearly perfect, idiomatic English. He learned the language, he said, from listening to Voice of America broadcasts with his family and also from going to church in Tuscaloosa. “On Sunday morning I’d stand on the corner carrying a Bible,” he explained, “and people would stop and ask what church I was going to. ‘Yours,’ I’d say. I saw a lot of churches that way.”

After Buffalo he spent four years teaching literature at Harvard, in Cambridge, Mass., before taking a job at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and next year he had a fellowship at Cornell. “I’m kind of stuck in the C’s right now,” he said, “and I can’t really move on. “Charlie Chan — that’s a double C.” Chan was an obsession he pursued for years, he said, while trying to write a memoir called “The Yellow Alabaman” until a friend encouraged him to put that book aside and write instead about the detective. It was the aphorisms, the fortune-cookie sayings, that first attracted him, and then he became interested in

the way Chan is a projection of American fears and American imaginings about China — an embodiment, as he writes in the book, of “both the racist heritage and the creative genius” of his adopted nation’s culture.

Over lunch he said: “I grew up watching Chinese opera, where you have some of that same exaggeration, and growing up in that literary culture was very useful for understanding cultural ventriloquism and the whole idea of crossing over. It was fascinating to see how Chan was a sort of ‘yellowface’ performance.” He added that in the ’30s the Charlie Chan movies were immensely popular in China, of all places, where they were seen as an antidote to the sinister caricature of the Fu Manchu films, but those attitudes had changed.

Not long ago he was discussing with a Chinese publisher the possibility of translating “Charlie Chan” himself and bringing it out in China. The publisher listened politely and said, “Right now we’re actually more interested in Fu Manchu.”

Those RVs are big in many ways

T

o the people who get stuck behind motor homes this morning as they leave their massive convention in Redmond, please be patient.

These visitors brought millions of dollars of welcome business to the region.

They’re people like Sue Tilley, 64, of Cle Elum, Wash., who was among seven couples that were parked together at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center for the Family Motor Coach Association convention. On Tuesday, the women went shopping “all day” in Sisters.

“We really like it here,” Tilley said while on a walk with her three schnauzers. “We’ve had a really good time down here. The restaurants have been wonderful at accommodating all of us.”

That’s the beauty of conventions: They bring people who spend money while they’re here, perhaps experience the area for the first time and hopefully return on vacation or for the next convention. Some who discover the area move their home or business here. Yes, tourism can lead to economic development.

Bend City Manager Eric King referenced that last week after the city reported its seventh straight month of higher room-tax collections in June, indicating improving tourism after a rough 2008 and 2009.

“In addition to the immediate economic stimulus created by visitor spending, the tourism industry is a primary catalyst for in-migration of new residents and jobs,” King said in a news release.

Hope Johnson, executive director of the Crooked River Ranch-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce, was handing out maps and other Central Oregon promotional material Wednesday at the FMCA convention, trying to encourage visitation or relocation by attendees. Many spend their summers in one place and winters in another, she noted. She wanted people to know the ranch had RV parks.

“It’s a great promotional opportunity,” Johnson said between chats with conventioneers at a booth for the region.

One booth visitor was Sandra Shay, 63, of Spokane, Wash. She and her husband, Dick, attended their first FMCA convention in their 45-foot coach, but they’re no strangers to Bend. They’ve visited the area for roughly a week each of the last six years, Sandra Shay said. “It’s wonderful.” Fellow RV’ers have the same opinion, she said.

Eric Sande, executive director of the Redmond Chamber of Commerce & CVB, said Wednesday the booth had handed out 900 Oregon maps in two days, plus visitor guides and more. Some attendees told him they were staying an extra week to explore the area and three others said they wanted to move here.

Chamber members also had spoken positively of the show’s impact, he said.

Think restaurants, hotels, grocery stores and, for these rigs: GAS STATIONS. Turns out, Central Oregon’s perfect for more than competitive athletes. It’s also suited for an active set of a different sort — motor home enthusiasts, or the BMW motorcyclists who were here for a big convention last month.

The fairgrounds are attractive for such events, including acres of parking, indoor and outdoor venues and proximity to Redmond Airport for salespeople, company executives and others.

In fact, the fairgrounds’ outer parking lots were designed for FMCA before its first show here in 2001. FMCA returned in 2004, 2007 and last week.

“It’s a perfect fairgrounds,” said Jerry Yeatts, FMCA convention director. “We would love to come back.” That might not be until 2016, however, he said.

Fairgrounds Director Dan Despotopulos would like to see the event return in 2013, but it would follow by a month The Rally, another RV show planned here, in July 2013. That would mean back-toback shows in Redmond for the industry. That may not be ideal, but it’s not without precedent. It occurred in 2007.

The Rally’s also coming in 2011 and ’15.

“I would expect we’re going to have these large RV rallies at least every other year,” Despotopulos said.

While a friend told me about 15 years ago that mobile homes reminded her of Kleenex boxes on wheels (their design is much better today), the money they leave behind is nothing to sneeze at.

Thank you, FMCA. Please come again.

BEND REAL ESTATE

THEN,NOW From peak to trough, home prices have slid dramatically.

What’s ahead?

By Jason DeParle New York Times News Service

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

n September 2007, as the national economy began to melt down and real estate prices in Bend began to slide, a condominium with mountain views in the Old Mill District sold for $819,900.

Five months ago, the same 1,533-square-foot condominium went for $450,000, a 45 percent drop in value, according to Deschutes County property records.

The Bend real estate market has been characterized by extremes, and they keep coming.

About 10 days ago, a study conducted by Fiserv and Moody’s Economy.com for Businessweek .com, predicted Bend’s housing market would bottom out in the first quarter of next year and by 2014 experience the second-highest rate of rebound in the country, at 33.6 percent, behind Bremerton, Wash.

Then last week, the real estate website Zillow ranked Bend with the nation’s highest home depreciation rate, 21.8 percent, for the second quarter, compared with the second quarter 2009.

“We were notorious for being the fastest-growing market and having the greatest appreciation rates in the country,” said Steve Scott, president and principal broker at Steve Scott Realty in Bend.

“And now we have some of the greatest depreciation rates in the country.”

Scott, who’s worked in the region’s real estate market for 37 years, said he cannot predict the date when the economy will turn around. The residential market may be approaching the bottom, he said, but the shakeout will likely continue in commercial real estate and the financial sector still has some toxic assets to purge.

NEW ORLEANS — On March 5, 1997, an obscure federal official with a puckish grin entered a hotel ballroom here and greeted 1,000 jittery oilmen on what would prove to be a landmark day.

For years, fading interest in the Gulf of Mexico had punished the local economy and left Louisiana to mourn its “Dead Sea.” Now, rising oil prices and new technology were setting off the deep-water version of a gold rush. Interest in drilling ran so high that the official, Chris Oynes, was heading into the annual lease auction with a record number of sealed bids.

In giddier times before the bust, his predecessor presided over the auction in a jaunty red blazer, but Oynes was far too conservative for that. Or so everyone thought — until he opened his briefcase and brought down the house with a size 46 scarlet jacket, an omen of the coming deep-water boom.

Lori Cheek was walking through the meatpacking district of Manhattan when she spotted a handsome man sitting with friends amid the dinner crowd outside Pastis.

As she neared his table, she flashed a diminutive black card.

“I nestled it in his French fries,” she said, “and kept going.”

As Cheek, 37, disappeared into the July night, the man plucked the card from his fries. It read: “Look up. You might miss something.” Below, in smaller letters, were the words “find me,” a code and the address of a new website for singles.

Move over, Match.com. This is the next generation of online dating. Unlike traditional dating sites where members spend hours on computers writing autobiographies and scrutinizing photographs, a raft of newfangled dating tools are striving to better bridge the gap between online and real-world romance.

Some companies offer a combination of flirty calling cards and Web pages. Others operate dating applications that use the global positioning systems in cell phones to help local singles find one another.

All of them contend they are superior to big online dating sites like Match.com and eHarmony.com because meeting people is faster, more organic and less formal. And participants are not limited to a database of members: The world is their dating pool.

When Adam Savage, co-host of the popular science program “MythBusters,” posted a picture on Twitter of his automobile parked in front of his house, he let his fans know much more than that he drove a Toyota Land Cruiser.

Embedded in the image was a geotag, a bit of data providing the longitude and latitude of the spot where the photo was taken.

Hence, he revealed exactly where he lived. And since the accompanying text was “Now it’s off to work,” potential thieves knew he would not be at home.

The dangers of geotags Security experts and privacy advocates have recently begun warning about the potential dangers of geotags, which are embedded in photos and videos taken with GPS-equipped smart phones and digital cameras.

Because the location data is not visible to the casual viewer, the concern is that many people may not realize it is there; and they could be compromising their privacy, if not their safety, when they post geotagged media online.

Savage said he knew about geotags. (He should, as host of a show popular with technology followers.) But he said he had neglected to disable the function on his iPhone before taking the picture and uploading it to Twitter.

“I guess it was a lack of concern because I’m not nearly famous enough to be stalked,” he said, “and if I am, I want a raise.”

Still, Savage has since turned off the geotag feature on his iPhone, and he isn’t worried about the archived photo on Twitter because he has moved to a new residence. But others may not be so technologically informed or so blasé about their privacy.

“I’d say very few people know about geotag capabilities,” said Peter Eckersley, a technologist with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco, “and consent is sort of a slippery slope when the only way you can turn off the function on your smart phone is

Heidi Schumann The New York Times

through an invisible menu that no one really knows about.”

Indeed, disabling the geotag function generally involves going through several layers of menus until you find the “location” setting, then selecting “off” or “don’t allow.” But doing this can sometimes turn off all GPS capabilities, including mapping, so it can get complicated.

The website ICanStalkU.com provides step-by-step instructions for disabling the photo geotagging function on iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and Palm devices.

A person’s location is also revealed while using services like Foursquare and Gowalla as well as when posting to Twitter from a GPS-enabled mobile device, but the geographical data is not hidden as it is when posting photos.

Raising awareness A handful of academic researchers and independent Web security analysts, who call themselves “white hat hackers,” have been trying to raise awareness about geotags by releasing studies and giving presentations at technology get-togethers like the Hackers On Planet Earth, or Next HOPE, conference held last month in New York.

Their lectures and papers demonstrate the ubiquity of geotagged photos and videos on websites like Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and Craigslist, and how these photos can be used to identify a person’s home and haunts.

Many of the pictures show people’s children playing in or around their homes. Others reveal expensive cars, computers and flat-

screen televisions. There are also pictures of people at their friends’ houses or at the Starbucks they visit each morning.

By downloading free browser plug-ins like the Exif Viewer for Firefox (addons.mozilla.org/enUS/firefox/addon/3905/) or Opanda IExif for Internet Explorer (opanda.com/en/iexif/), anyone can pinpoint the location where the photo was taken and create a Google map.

‘You really have no control’ Moreover, since multimedia sites like Twitter and YouTube have user-friendly application programming interfaces, or APIs, someone with a little knowledge about writing computer code can create a program to search for geotagged photos in a systematic way. For example, they can search for those accompanied with text like “on vacation” or those taken in a specified neighborhood.

“Any 16-year-old with basic programming skills can do this,” said Gerald Friedland, a researcher at the International Computer Science Institute at the University of California, Berkeley. He and a colleague, Robin Sommer, wrote a paper, “Cybercasing the Joint: On the Privacy Implications of Geotagging,” which they presented on Tuesday at a workshop in

Washington during the Advanced Computing Systems Association’s annual conference on security.

Protecting your privacy is not just a matter of being aware and personally responsible, Sommer, said. A friend may take a geotagged photo at your house and post it. “You need to educate yourself and your friends, but in the end, you really have no control,” he said.

STONEHENGE, England — The prehistoric monument of Stonehenge stands tall in the British countryside as one of the last remnants of the Neolithic Age. Recently it has also become the latest symbol of another era: the new fiscal austerity.

Renovations — including a plan to replace the site’s rundown visitors center with one almost five times bigger and to close a busy road that runs alongside the 5,000-year-old monument — had to be mothballed in June. The British government had suddenly withdrawn 10 million euro, or $16 million, in financing for the project as part of a budget squeeze.

Stonehenge is among the most prominent victims of the government’s spending cuts. The decision was heavily criticized by local lawmakers, especially because Stonehenge, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was part of London’s successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games.

The shabby visitors center

there now is already too small for the 950,000 people who visit Stonehenge each year, let alone the additional onslaught of tourists expected for the Games, the lawmakers say.

Stonehenge is the busiest tourist attraction in Britain’s southwest, topping even Windsor Castle. But no major improvements have been made to the facilities there since they were built 40 years ago.

For now, portable toilets lead from a crammed parking lot, via a makeshift souvenir shop in a tent, to a ticket office opposite a small kiosk that sells coffee and snacks.

Plans by the architectural firm Denton Corker Marshall would keep the stone monument itself unchanged. But the existing ticket office and shop would be demolished, and a new visitors center would be built on the other side of the monument, about 1.5 miles from the stones.

The overhaul was scheduled to start next spring and be completed in time for the Olympics — but the economic downturn has changed those plans.

Continued from G1 “It’s almost like you’re shopping online,” said Cheek, “but you’re shopping in real life.”

At the same time, these hybrid dating tools still enable users to keep their names and personal information private for as long as they like.

Cheek, an architect who works part-time in sales for a high-end Manhattan furniture company, founded one such venture, Cheek’d, which had its debut in May. Users receive calling cards to dole out to alluring strangers they encounter in their everyday lives, be it in a club or in a subway on their morning commute.

Recipients of the cards can use the identification code printed on them to log onto Cheekd.com and send a message to their admirer. A pack of 50 cards and a month’s subscription to Cheek’d, where users can receive messages and post information about themselves, is $25. There is no fee for those who receive cards to communicate with an admirer through the site.

Each Cheek’d card has a sassy phrase like “I am totally cooler than your date,” or, for those with no regard for subtlety: “I’m hitting on you.”

Cheek’d is not the only new company integrating calling cards and the Internet. Inspired by their own love story, Rachel and John DeAlto, 30 and 33, founded FlipMe!, which was introduced last month and works similarly to Cheek’d.

DeAlto first spied the man who would eventually become her husband while having dinner at a restaurant in Red Bank, N.J. He had been dining with colleagues, and on his way out, he handed a waitress $5 and asked her to pass a note scribbled on a scrap of place mat to Rachel. She waited three days, then called the number and said “I’m the girl from Juanitos.”

Six weeks later, they were engaged.

On each red FlipMe! card is an explanation for the recipient: “I’ve said ‘what if’ too many times — not this time.” A pack of 30 cards and a three-month membership to flipmedating. com is $24.99.. A cell phone application is in the works.

“It’s getting me out more,” said Christine Langfeld, 36, a food stylist who has tried online dating and has just begun experimenting with the cards. “Instead of running home to my computer, I’m going out for drinks and coffee and just being more social.”

Card users said companies like FlipMe! and Cheek’d are emboldening them to approach people who might otherwise have been missed connections. They also appreciate how the companies reverse the online dating process — observe someone in person first, then send an electronic message. There’s no need to contend with false advertising on dating websites.

“Some of those photos are 10 years old,” DeAlto said. “People hide behind trees. They put up photos of their dog, and they don’t have a dog.”

Other companies are helping singles connect through location-based technology on their mobile phones. In the last few years the number of websites and applications like Grindr, Are You Interested? and Urban Signals, has swelled.

One of the biggest is the free iPhone dating application Skout, which recently surpassed its millionth member. Skout uses a cell phone’s global positioning system to help users to find likeminded people within a walkable radius of one another. (For safety reasons, Skout does not identify a user’s precise location.) Those who sign up for the application create basic profiles with photographs and then use an instant message feature to communicate when they are within range of each other. Then, they can arrange a mutual meeting spot.

While in the Sheep Meadow in Central Park recently, Jessica Hirsch, 25, and a friend tried Skout and met some men who were also relaxing in the grass. They all ended up spending the afternoon sipping drinks on a picnic blanket.

“This was very easy and free and straightforward,” Hirsch said, unlike her experience with JDate.com, which she said was “very formal.” On such sites there are back-and-forth introductory messages, Hirsch said, then still more messages about the selection of a time and location for the date — all of which usually happens over the course of a few days, not a few minutes.

As for Cheek, the handsome man eating fries at Pastis sent her a message on Cheekd.com.

But like an order of those Pastis fries, he was gone all too soon.

“It turned out he was from Argentina,” Cheek said.

Continued from G1 “I hate to be the pessimist, but I don’t think we’re through,” he said. “I do think we’ve taken the greatest (part) of our hit. But we’re not out of the woods yet.”

In the middle of the last decade, Bend housing prices soared.

Federal housing reports said Bend in late 2006 and early 2007 had the highest home appreciation rates in the nation, rising 30 percent in the 12-month period that ended Sept. 30, 2006.

The whole market burned white-hot. In mid-2006, listings showed about 115 properties for sale for $1 million or more, about 30 fewer than Portland, according to The Bulletin’s archives.

Some segments within the market sold for prices that, even then, brought surprise.

Homes of less than 900 square feet, many of them refurbished houses of former millworkers, sold for around $500 to $700 per square foot, according to newspaper archives and property records.

A 792-square-foot house on Northwest Second Street, which was built in 1932 and went for $34,000 in 1989, sold in April 2006 for $400,000, or $505 a square foot. Last week, Deschutes County had the property listed with a market value of $252,770, for 2009. The owners of the home could not be reached for comment.

Condominium construction took off.

In fall 2005,, developers were planning or building more than a half-dozen condo and townhome projects — totaling more than 175 units — around downtown Bend and in the Old Mill District, according to The Bulletin’s archives.

Condos and townhomes appealed to those who wanted urban living in the High Desert.

At a sealed bid auction for the

Mill Quarter townhomes near Northwest Arizona and Colorado boulevards, the largest units sold for just under $1 million.

When two additional townhomes hit the market, buyers bid them up to $1.1 million, The Bulletin reported in October 2005.

Property records show Bank of America acquired a Southwest Bond Street townhome with a value of $589,500 in March.

The townhome sold in 2006 for $1.1 million. Another that also sold for more than $1.18 million in 2007, sold again last month for $700,000.

Buyers also bought signed contracts for condominiums at The Plaza before it had models ready to show, according to newspaper archives. Property records show sales in the second half of 2007 between $589,900 and $899,900 for units in the Old Mill District

building on the bluff near the AmeriTel Inn. A condo sold for as low as $315,000 in October.

Lynnea Miller, principal broker with Cushman & Tebbs Sotheby’s Investment Realty, said it’s just a different market now.

Her firm has a condo at The Plaza currently listed for $499,000. In November, the condo was listed at $779,000, and back in 2005 it was listed by the developer at just under $2 million. The 42-unit building is a community, one that appeals to those looking for a home similar to those found in a building in New York, she said.

“The Plaza is beautiful, well thought out, well constructed,” she said. “It has a lot of nice features inside. It’s obviously different.”

Scott, the Bend Realtor, said he heard a saying recently that

sums up the situation for him.

“If you haven’t lost half your equity, you probably didn’t have any to begin with.”

All of us are responsible for creating the bubble that burst, he said, from those offering the no-document-needed loans, to the owners who spent their equity on boats and expensive vehicles, to the media that celebrated it.

“I think there was a sense of overconfidence,” he said. “There was a sense of scarcity. The sense of scarcity created a sense of urgency.

“Shame on all of us for puffing,” he said.

Scott senses the residential, single-family market may be near the bottom, and ultimately, the percentage of loss on the investment side of the market will be worse.

But it will turn around, Scott said. The elements that drew so many to the region during the last decade still remain, for example, it’s beautiful country and a great place to raise a family.

“There’s a tremendous pent-up demand for people wanting to come to Bend, Oregon,” he said.

trying to decipher what’s on the label.”

Wine Intelligence estimates the number of Chinese who drink imported wine — those that can part with $20 or more for a bottle — will grow to about 50 million in 15 years, nearly the number in the U.S. who now drink imports.

The average salary in China’s urban areas is $356 a month, according to the latest figures from China’s National Bureau of Statistics. But the country’s new affluence is staggering, and the desire for wine is rapidly spreading beyond the big cities, Portney said.

He and Ryweck see similarities with this country. The U.S. had a “hard liquor and beer culture” until World War II, when GIs brought a taste for wine home from Europe, Ryweck said.

By the 1970s, there were countless good domestic and imported wines on store shelves.

Millions of Chinese work or study overseas and bring home what they learn, Ryweck said.

“They’re changing Chinese society and part of that is wine culture.”

said Argyle winemaker Rollin Soles. His Willamette Valley winery produces 40,000 to 45,000 cases a year and has shipped about 200 cases to Hong Kong’s largest specialty wine chain, Watson’s Wine Cellar, in the past six months.

He sends only his top wines — putting the “best foot forward” to build the region’s reputation.

Chinese on the mainland drink about 75 million cases of wine a year, said Richard Halstead, chief operating officer of the British consultancy Wine Intelligence Ltd. But 90 percent is domestically produced wine “that most wine consumers in other countries would struggle to recognize as the product they drink,” he said.

Foreign sellers need to guide new consumers on types of wines and how they taste, Halstead said.

“Chinese consumers are confused by wine,” he said in an email. “This is hardly surprising: most Western consumers are, too, and they don’t have to deal with a totally alien script when

Continued from G1 Washington’s larger wineries have long cultivated customers in China and Hong Kong, and smaller exporters are seeking a foothold. Earlier this year, a delegation from Washington and Oregon signed a deal to promote wines in Hong Kong, their first trade agreement with that city.

“For our region, it’s about being present, and you win by being there,” said Al Portney, vice president of international sales for Chateau Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, which has been exporting wine to Hong Kong and China for years.

Portney said the Woodinville, Wash., winery pursues a methodical and long-term strategy showing that Northwest wines are high quality yet affordable.

While Ste. Michelle’s exports to the region can fill a container on a cargo ship, Jonathan Ryweck, a one-man exporter of three Washington labels, ships a few pallets at a time.

“This is not a get-rich scheme, let me tell you,” Ryweck said of his Port Townsend company, Transnational Ventures Inc. “It’s growing very nicely but it’s still real small volume and it’s a tough sell.”

Still, the Chinese associate foreign wine with success, education and status, he said.

“The Chinese love the taste profile of Washington wines,” Ryweck said. “If you can get the product in their mouth, you can sell it.”

Hong Kong’s wine imports have soared since it eliminated an 80 percent excise tax in 2008. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it imported a record $491 million of wine last year. Most came from France, but the U.S. accounts for 8 percent of those imports.

Hong Kong is now the fourth-largest export market for U.S. wines behind Canada, the European Union and Japan, and it’s a major reexporter to the Chinese mainland and other points.

Last year, Washington exported about $9.7 million in wine, but just $721,000 to Hong Kong and $414,000 to China, according to figures from Global Trade Information Services Inc. cited by the state Agriculture Department. Exports to Hong Kong jumped 529 percent, however.

Figures for Oregon are sketchier, but the USDA says in 2009 the state exported 1,355 cases to Asia outside of Japan and South Korea.

That’s minuscule compared with the 1.6 million cases its wineries shipped in the United States.

Most Oregon wineries are family affairs that sell domestically, said Katie Bray, Oregon Wine Board export manager. A small but eager group is interested in exports, and China has great potential, she said, but the board’s limited promotional money is focused on the major foreign markets: Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada.

Watson’s Wine Cellar, Hong Kong’s largest specialty wine chain, does sell Oregon’s Erath and Argyle wines, however.

“All of a sudden there’s an interest in Northwest wines,”

Oil culture Continued from G1 “They knew symbolically what this meant,” Oynes said in a recent interview. “In Louisiana terms: ‘Let the good times roll.’”

Now the Gulf is reeling from the worst oil spill in U.S. history, after 5 million barrels of toxic sludge escaped from a defiant mile-deep hole that BP finally cemented. Deep-water drilling has been temporarily banned. And the Minerals Management Service, the agency that led the way into the deep-water age, has been abolished, ridiculed as a pawn of the oil industry it was meant to oversee. And the Gulf office that Oynes ran for many years has drawn particular scorn.

The causes of the spill remain unclear, but a number of the agency’s actions have drawn fire: It shortened safety and environmental reviews; overlooked flaws in the spill response plan; and ignored warnings that crucial pieces of emergency equipment, blowout preventers, were prone to fail.

For decades, Washington and Louisiana were joined by the minerals agency. Washington got oil and royalty fees; Louisiana got jobs; and the agency got frequent reminders of the need to keep both happy.

Seldom do regulators work in a place so dependent on the industry they oversee. From the top of Louisiana’s tallest building (One Shell Square) to the bottom of its largest aquarium (with a sunken rig), oil saturated the state’s culture long before it covered its marshes. It is equally prized as a source of jobs and as a source of tax revenue.

Few people have mattered more in that world than Oynes, 63, who held top jobs in the Gulf office for 21 years and outlasted 11 agency directors before resigning abruptly in May. Many branches of government have parallel figures, little-known civil servants whose knowledge and staying power lend them great sway.

Cobbled together three decades ago from rival corners of the Interior Department, the minerals service had a three-part charge: issuing leases, collecting royalties and overseeing the dangerous work at sea. His superiors in Washington set broad policy, but Oynes, a heavyset conduit of high energy, dominated the Gulf with 12-hour days and a zeal for detail. His decisions guided which drilling plans would be approved, what safety checks would be required and how platforms would be inspected.

Raised in conservative Orange County, Calif., he shared nothing of the Mardi Gras spirit for which Louisiana was known — only its belief in the importance of oil and its respect for the people who mined it. For years, he told associates that modern engineering made spills all but impossible, and harmless if they did occur.

Since the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on April 20, Oynes has made no public comments.

But angry at what he called lampooning depictions of the agency, he recently broke his silence, offering his account of what happened on his watch. He aired many problems, but few regrets.

A special bond If modern Louisiana history could be squeezed on a bumper sticker, this is what it would say: Louisiana (HEART) Petroleum.

Or that was the message conveyed last year when Oynes joined other Interior Department officials at a hearing in New Orleans on offshore drilling. At hearings elsewhere, industry critics largely set the tone. But in New Orleans, a grandmother waited for hours to say, “Drill, and drill vigorously.”

Investors see Petrobras peril of ignoring BP oil-drilling spill

By Peter Millard Bloomberg News

RIO DE JANEIRO — Lucia Rodriguez Ilaria figured it would be easy to get a big crowd together in Brazil’s largest city to demonstrate against BP, the company responsible for the largest oil spill in U.S. history. The June 12 event in São Paulo was part of Worldwide Protest BP Day, an event organized in 52 cities across five continents that aimed to start a boycott of BP products. About 350,000 people signed on for the protest on Facebook.

In São Paulo, eight people showed up for the rally at Ibirapuera Park. As the failure of the protest makes clear, few Brazilians are in the mood to rail against the dangers of the deep-water oil drilling that’s at the root of the Gulf of Mexico disaster.

That’s because Petroleo Brasileiro, Brazil’s state-controlled oil producer, does A school principal said the majority of his students’ parents worked for the oil industry.

A drilling engineer lauded the industry’s safety record. “The incident rate for a real estate agent is higher than someone working on the rigs,” he said.

As things go in Louisiana, the engineer happened to be Oynes’ best friend.

Five states border the Gulf of Mexico, but Louisiana’s bond with subsea petroleum is unique.

Marshes blur distinctions between drilling on land and at sea.

The continental shelf slopes gently.

There are no white sand beaches to protect, only river mud.

In some states, drilling has been seen as a threat to native cultures. In Cajun country, it opened a door to the middle class — even as a typical offshore schedule (two weeks on, two weeks off) let workers still fish, hunt and farm.

“The industry didn’t destroy the old culture — it saved it,” said Diane Austin, an anthropologist at the University of Arizona.

What it did largely destroy, through cash and cunning, was significant political opposition.

Local groups have been typically been weak and small — no match for an industry that Oynes calls the “900-pound gorilla.”

As Congress debated the landmark 1978 law that governs offshore activity, Louisiana officials argued for a light federal touch.

Elsewhere in the country, the law requires companies to submit detailed proposals for offshore activities, called Drilling and Production Plans. In the Gulf, it specifically forbids them.

Though the minerals agency invented an alternative (a Development Operations Coordination Document), it provides for lesser levels of review.

Tension between factions As the Gulf office adapted to the deep-water age, it was riven by a tribal split: engineers versus environmental scientists.

The engineers were action-oriented and confident; they trusted machines. The scientists were deliberative and academic; they worried about what they might not know. Engineers came largely from Louisiana. Scientists often came from out of state. The engineers called their rivals the “free thinkers down on the third floor.”

“We had huge conflicts,” said Hammond Eve, who ran the environmental division for eight years before retiring in 2004.

Both sides knew which division held the power. The law gave the head of field operations — the lead engineer — the authority to approve exploration and drilling plans. To win changes, the environmental scientists had to work through him.

When tensions arose between the factions, Oynes cast himself as the neutral broker, but

little else. Ninety percent of Petrobras’ domestic production comes from beneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The company in 2009 pumped 20 percent of all the oil drawn worldwide from water deeper than 1,000 feet, more than any other oil company, according to data compiled by PFC Energy, a consulting firm.

Exxon Mobil Corp. was second with 13 percent.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva says Brazil is relying on the deep-water oil to raise the nation of 191 million people out of poverty. Geologists estimate that just one recent strike, in a field called Tupi, contains 5 billion to 8 billion barrels of oil, recently worth $600 billion.

The company has budgeted $108 billion during the next five years to expand production, mainly from offshore fields.

Much of Brazil’s oil is trapped beneath

Lee Celano / New York Times News Service

Bidders look over plot maps before the Minerals Management Services sale for blocks of offshore oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico in New Orleans in 2006. While the causes of the Gulf oil spill remain unclear, a number of MMS’s actions have drawn fire: it shortened safety and environmental reviews; overlooked flaws in the spill response plan; and ignored warnings that a crucial piece of emergency equipment on the Deepwater Horizon rig, the blowout preventer, was prone to fail. subordinates sensed where his instincts lay. “From my perspective, we can’t sit here and talk about it forever,” he said, describing his thinking. “We have to get on with things.”

The result was a culture that favored trust over doubt, saying yes over saying no.

One day in a staff meeting Eve raised a question: With wells being sunk at ever-greater depths, what are the chances of a blowout, a catastrophic eruption?

Oynes said the answer would come from the head of field operations. “And later on the answer came back that it was impossible,” Eve said. “They said the blowout preventer will take care of it.” (That head of field operations, Donald C. Howard, would be fired in 2007 for accepting gifts from a drilling company, and pleaded guilty to lying on his ethics form.)

The clash between the agency’s environmentalists and engineers dominated a project meant to guide the agency into the deepwater age, a two-year study of new risks called an environmental assessment. Published in 2000, it framed the agency’s approach for the next decade. It reads like a document at war with itself.

It counted 151 well blowouts in

A bureaucratic bungle For most of his career, Oynes, like his agency, flew beneath the public radar. But in 2006 he was dragged before Congress for his role in a costly mistake. For him, and for the minerals service, it forecast troubles to come.

To encourage more production, Congress had passed a law in 1995 suspending royalties on deep-water tracts, with payments to resume if oil prices exceeded a

$1215.00 $1214.80 $18.053

blown royalties affair. A congressman hailed his planned departure from the agency as a “an opportunity to begin anew.”

As Oynes was packing up, the inspector general’s office released a report, long in the making, about the agency’s Lake Charles office. It depicted an ethics-free zone, where inspectors routinely took industry gifts and did favors for industry friends.

On May 12, the administration announced that the minerals service was being abolished. It would be split into three agencies: one to issue leases, one to collect royalties and one to supervise offshore operations.

After decades of quiescence, Louisianians are suddenly appearing at oil and gas protests.

But what they object to is the federal government’s six-month ban on deep-water drilling.

Two federal courts in Louisiana invalidated the ban (though the administration created a new one). While the accident “is an unprecedented, sad, ugly and inhuman disaster,” wrote Judge Martin Feldman of Federal District Court, “oil and gas production is quite simply elemental to Gulf communities.” He said halting would have “immeasurable effects” on the economy.

“Going down into the pre-salt is like going to the moon,” Palmer says. “They need to take a step back from this and say, ‘Are we going at the right pace?’”

Several oil-producing countries have adopted new precautions. On May 27, President Barack Obama imposed a six-month ban on the launch of new deep-water facilities, halting work on 33 rigs. When a federal court struck down the ban, Obama reinstated it on July 12, using different criteria.

certain threshold. But the minerals agency somehow dropped the threshold provision from two years of contracts. When prices unexpectedly rose, the companies pocketed billions of dollars.

The inspector general called the episode a “jaw-dropping example of bureaucratic bungling.”

While he placed much of the fault on the Washington staff, two industry representatives recalled telling Oynes about the omission. Oynes testified that he did not recall the exchange.

The incident has trailed Oynes ever since, but most accounts omit the coda. Congress drafted the law so poorly that the federal courts invalidated the thresholds for the entire five-year program, at a cost of up to $60 billion. Congress had derided Oynes while committing the greater mistake.

A year after his congressional thrashing, Oynes was promoted in 2007 to a top Washington job.

He felt like he was capping a storybook career. The Dead Sea had come to life, technology had made quantum leaps and there had not been a single major spill.

On the morning of April 21, Oynes got an e-mail saying that 11 people were dead. The news got worse from there. Nothing would stop the toxic geyser a mile below the sea. The blowout preventer had failed.

In noting that a deep-water blowout could take up to four months to control, it all but forecast the BP disaster.

Then it quickly silenced its own alarm bells, casting spills as a “very low probability event” and noting that companies had “speculated” that deep-water blowouts might cap themselves (because of loose sediment on the ocean floor).

The potential windfall from Tupi, one of the biggest finds ever in the Americas, has emboldened Lula to increase the government’s stake in Petrobras and reverse the opening of Brazilian oil drilling to foreign companies.

Last year, Lula introduced legislation, which has yet to pass, that would make Petrobras the operator of all new pre-salt oil fields and reduce the role of foreign companies to financial investors in projects in which Petrobras calls the shots.

Using the wrong fluid can damage your car

The 2011 Cruze is arguably the first small Chevrolet in 20 years that GM designed to be better than the competition.

With the Cruze, GM enters the race for small-car dollars

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

Leadership inherently is at odds with the notion of “good enough.” Leadership believes it can do better. It works to become the best. “Good enough” makes peace with mediocrity and settles comfortably into oblivion, which is where General Motors has been for the past two decades in the small-car segment of the U.S. automobi le R E V I E W market.

The company made passable small cars — the Chevrolet Cavalier, Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet Aveo. Those models had four wheels, engines and steering wheels — and better fuel economy than GM’s trucks.

They met federal crash-safety standards. They worked.

But GM’s little rides competed in a field of small cars made by companies that took small cars seriously: Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia. Those companies have always understood the power and value of “face” — giving respect by giving the best to those who could afford the least, giving them little cars they could be proud of, even love.

They kicked GM’s small-car tail.

Now, there is solid evidence that GM is fighting back. It is the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, arguably the first small Chevy in 20 years that GM designed to be better than the competition. It has better fuel economy than its rivals, better utility than most of them, and it is put together as well as all of them. It looks much richer than its base purchase price, which means it does an excellent job of saving face.

The Cruze is a compact, frontwheel-drive family car of which

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Base price: $16,275 (Cruze LS); $21,975 (Cruze LTZ) As tested: $15,624 (Cruze LS); $21,096 (Cruze LTZ) Type: The Chevrolet Cruze is a compact, front-engine, front-wheel-drive, four-door economy car with a traditional notchback trunk. It is available in four iterations: base LS, midgrade 1LT and 2LT and top-grade LTZ. Engine: There are two available engines including a normally aspirated 1.8-liter, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder model (136 horsepower, 123 foot-pounds of torque) linked to a six-speed manual transmission; and a turbocharged 1.4-liter, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder engine (138 horsepower, 148 foot-pounds of torque) linked to an automatic six-speed transmission that can be operated manually.

Mileage: Unlike most cars with turbocharged engines, this one takes regular fuel. Our real-world estimate for the Cruze LTZ was 40 miles per gallon on the highway. City driving was minimal.

there are four iterations: base LS, midgrade 1LT and 2LT and top-grade LTZ. The LS is distinguished from its siblings with a normally aspirated (no forced air) 1.8-liter, inline four-cylinder engine (136 horsepower, 123 foot-pounds of torque).

The rest of the Cruze line is equipped with a turbocharged (forced air) 1.4-liter, inline fourcylinder engine (138 horsepower, 148 foot-pounds of torque).

An aside: Internal combustion engines require air and fuel to work. Generally, the more air and fuel an engine can handle, the more work it can do. But larger-volume engines, which can swallow more air and fuel, generally have poor fuel economy. Turbocharging, using exhaust-driven impellers to draw more fresh air into engine combustion chambers, is one way to increase power in smaller engines without an appreciable rise in fuel consumption.

I spent most of my time in the turbocharged 1.4-liter LTZ, equipped with a six-speed au-

tomatic transmission that also could be operated manually.

What first caught my attention was the quality of the interior.

GM worked on and thought about the Cruze’s interior, which is unusual for the automaker. Fit and finish were excellent. Most materials, except a few plastic cover pieces at window corners, were first-class. A rust-andblack color scheme, with leather and simulated alloy trim on the dash and optional leather-covered seats, added to the cabin’s attractiveness.

Such touches increase the appeal of small cars and the willingness of consumers to buy them. But road performance is the grabber, and the Cruze LS and LTZ do a good job, although the LTZ model does it better.

There is none of the performance anemia in the Cruze often found in the Cavalier and Cobalt (excluding the quite likable Cobalt SS model). The 1.8-liter and 1.4-liter four-cylinder engines performed smoothly. The LTZ’s turbocharged 1.4-liter engine

At high speeds, a bad filter could sap power from engine

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

Can you please help me figure out what’s happening with my pickup? It starts and runs fine but has begun to lose power when I’m speeding up or climbing a hill. It’s like the engine says, “That’s as fast as I’m going to go.”

It doesn’t sputter or shake; it just won’t go any faster. I’d appreciate it if you could tell me some things to check.

Good job explaining the symptoms. It sounds like your pickup can’t move enough fuel or air through the engine to deliver full power. You didn’t mention the “check engine” or “service engine soon” light illuminating, so I’ll assume the truck is a pre-1996 model with limited or no onboard diagnostics.

This sounds like a classic case of a restricted fuel filter. A restricted filter may flow enough fuel for adequate performance under lowdemand situations, but it starves the engine when greater fuel consumption is required. The techie way to check this is to install a fuel pressure gauge at or near the engine and tape the gauge head to the windshield — the long hose is carefully routed to avoid guillotining it when the hood is closed.

Then observe fuel pressure under a variety of driving conditions.

A:

Should the pressure fall during high-load driving situations, the cause could be either a clogged filter, weak fuel pump or restricted sock, which is a pre-pump strainer. In your case, I’d initially bypass the test and renew the filter. If this fixes the problem, fine.

If it doesn’t, it was an inexpensive maintenance item that was likely due for changing.

Before heading to the auto parts store, I’d take the same approach with the air filter. A dirty air filter can behave similarly to a restricted fuel filter. If it’s obviously dirty, replace it. If it’s questionable, try taking the truck for a road test with it temporarily removed and check for a change in symptoms.

Also check the air filter housing and cold air duct for debris.

If renewing one or both filters doesn’t do the trick, the remaining possibilities are the fuel pump or sock — see diagnosis above — or a restricted exhaust system. Exhaust flow faults could be caused by fragmented catalytic converter internals; a collapsed double wall exhaust pipe, which you can’t see from the outside; or a neighbor kid jamming a potato up the tailpipe.

After inspecting the tailpipe, further testing involves connecting a pressure gauge of approximately 0-15 psi to the exhaust via

a temporarily removed oxygen sensor. A fitting/tool is threaded into the available hole. Should exhaust pressure rise above 2 psi during a deep throttle snap or sustained high-load driving, a restriction is indicated. You can also check manifold vacuum, which is easier but less conclusive. At 2,000 rpm in park or neutral, vacuum should be the same or higher than when at idle.

Before going to this trouble, I’d try smacking the catalytic converter a few times with a rubber mallet. If something rattles inside — a deep rattle, not the heat shield — the insides have come apart, and are likely causing a flow restriction. Simply replacing a broken cat is only part of the fix. You need to be sure of and correct the cause of its demise — typically a misfire or air-to-fuel ratio fault.

I believe one of the above faults is the cause of the power loss. Because the engine starts and runs well at low speeds, it’s unlikely you have an engine mechanical fault or a problem with the ignition system or fuel injectors.

brought smiles to my face.

I ended my daylong run in the Cruze cars confident that I was right to continue believing in GM’s people when it seemed everyone else had turned against them. They have the right stuff.

They simply needed corporate leaders to pull it out of them.

The bottom line The Chevrolet Cruze is a bona fide contender for your smallcar dollar. You would be making a serious mistake if you did not put it on the same shopping list as the Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte and Toyota Corolla.

Ride, acceleration and handling: The Cruze LS gets an excellent mark for small-car ride and good marks for acceleration and handling. The more spirited and likable LTZ gets excellent marks all around.

Head-turning quotient: The Cruze looks richer than it is, inside and out. Congratulations to GM and Chevrolet for finally comprehending the difference between “economy” and “tacky.” One honors the low-cost buyer. The other disparages that customer.

Capacities: There are seats for five people in the Chevrolet Cruze. Maximum luggage space is 15.4 cubic feet. The Cruze holds 15.6 gallons off gasoline.

Safety: Standard equipment includes front and rear ventilated disc brakes, four-wheel antilock brake protection, electronic brake force monitoring and distribution, electronic stability and traction control, side and head air bags, dual front knee air bags, and tire pressure monitoring.

I put a small amount of power-steering fluid into the brake-fluid container of my car by mistake. Please let me know whether it would cause any problem with my brake system and what I should do to correct it.

Most brake fluid is glycol-based — the exception being silicone brake fluids used in some highperformance vehicles — and power-steering fluid is petroleum-based. They are not compatible. Exposure to petroleum products can cause rubber brake components to swell, leading to potentially serious problems.

In cases where contamination has just occurred, the brake system needs to be completely drained, flushed with denatured alcohol, refilled and bled with the proper brake fluid. In this case, quickly siphoning the master cylinder reservoir may remove most of the power steering fluid.

If contamination has spread throughout the hydraulic system, you’ll have to replace or rebuild major brake components, including the antilock braking system’s hydraulic control unit.

Q:

I have a 2003 Hyundai XG350 with 80,000 miles.

In the past six months, I have noticed some clunking in the automatic shifting when I accelerate to about 20 mph. It will happen in winter and summer, unless I accelerate quickly or unless I let the car warm up a bit.

The dealer’s service computer can check for transmission fault codes and perform sophisticated diagnostics on the quality of each upshift. It may be possible to reprogram the adaptive values in the transmission control module.

It’s also worth checking both front-drive axles and their constant-velocity joints along with the engine/transaxle mounts for wear and play.

The Rehabilitation of Michael Vick’s Pit Bulls by Jim Gorant HE LITTLE BLACKand-white dog knocked into furniture and hid things in his crate. He couldn’t go up or down stairs, didn’t know how to climb onto a couch. Flushing toilets and clanging pots sent him running from the room. He wasn’t a bad dog—he simply didn’t know any better; he’d never lived in a house. His lack of social grace earned him the name Jonny Rotten. “He was a caveman,” says Cris Cohen, a Burlingame, Calif., car-dealership manager who provided Jonny with a foster home.

“He had no manners.”

That was understandable. Jonny was one of 51 pit bulls seized in April 2007 from Bad Newz Kennels, the Smithfield, Va., dogfighting ring run by Michael Vick, then quarterback of the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.

Although too young to have been a fighter, Jonny probably had his mettle tested a few times, and like most of the other Bad Newz dogs, he’d spent his entire life either locked up in a pen or chained to a rotating axle in the woods, with little or no positive interaction with people or other dogs.

After the raid on Vick’s property, Jonny and the other dogs were deemed evidence and put into shelters to be held until the investigation was complete. Conditions varied, but even the best dogs can break down after a few months of confinement. With Vick’s dogs, this wasn’t much of a concern; it was assumed they all would be destroyed upon the delivery of a verdict.

But public outcry, as well as the defen-

T

dant’s bulging bank account, moved U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson to issue an almost unprecedented order: that nearly $1 million be set aside to rescue and rehabilitate as many of the dogs as possible. The ASPCA was asked to assemble a team of animal-behavior experts to evaluate them.

That these were pit bulls—a breed that induces such fear it’s banned in many U.S. counties and cities, including Miami and Denver—was not a mark in their favor. In addition, Vick’s plea agreement detailed treatment that went beyond neglect and into abuse. By the time the case was over and the team had done its evaluations, the dogs had been in shelters for up to nine months. “We’d been told these were some of the most vicious dogs in America,” says ASPCA executive vice president Dr. Stephen Zawistowski, who led the evaluation team. Was rehab even a possibility?

What the team found was a mixed bag.

Fewer than a dozen of the dogs were hardened fighters. Two had to be put down— one was excessively violent and the other was suffering from an irreparable injury.

Then there was a group characterized as “pancake dogs”—animals so traumatized they flattened themselves on the ground and trembled when humans approached.

Another group seemed to be dogs of relatively friendly normal temperament who simply had never been socialized.

Jonny was one of the unsocialized-buthappy crowd, which is how he ended up with Cohen, who had a pit bull of his own and had previously fostered six others as a

Saving a fighting dog means retraining the very way he thinks.

Read about 15 more of Vick’s dogs at Parade.com/vick.

Consider one of Vick’s other victims, Hector. A handsome brown dog with a black snout and deep scars on his chest, he had clearly been a fighter. Yet from the start he had nothing but love for the world. After moving through a few foster homes, he was adopted by Roo Yori. The director of care and enrichment at Animal Farm Foundation in upstate New York, Yori is best known as the human companion of Wallace the Pit Bull, a national flying-disc champ.

Hector shares his new home with Yori and his wife, Clara; Wallace; a rat terrier named Scooby; Angus, a black Lab mix; and a toy Australian shepherd called Mindy Lou, who runs the show with an iron paw. Hector fitted in from the start and never had a problem with anyone, human or canine. Under Yori’s guidance, the ex-fighter blossomed, earning several temperament awards and eventually becoming certified as a therapy dog, working with the sick and elderly, as well as troubled teens.

So what conclusions can we draw from the fates of Vick’s pits? “We know so little about dogs like these because so few of them have been allowed to live,” Dr. McMillan says. “We’re learning a lot, but the work still doesn’t permit concrete conclusions. These dogs really represent the start of these kinds of studies.”

Still, we now know for certain that while it may be faster and easier simply to exterminate dogs recovered from illegal fighting rings, it’s not the only option. Look how far Jonny has come. Cohen formally adopted him last year, and he, too, is a therapy dog, working in a program that encourages kids who are learning to read.

The children who take turns reciting stories to him don’t know him as a pit bull or a Vick dog. No one knows him as Jonny Rotten, either. Along the way he acquired a new name. Now he’s Jonny Justice.

Smart Ways to Pay for College limit, and accounts can hold up to $380,000 (the cap varies by state).

Grandparents, aunts, uncles, even family friends can chip in, so consider asking them to skip the doll or video game and invest in your child’s college fund as a birthday gift instead. If your kids decide against college, you can transfer their 529s to other college-bound relatives without taxes or penalties.

CONS Risk. By the time your child is a freshman in high school, less than 70% of your savings should be in stocks. Also, if the interest you earn isn’t used for college expenses, you’ll have to pay penalties and taxes.

3. Roth IRAs THE PLAN Although Roth IRAs are usually intended for retirement, you can use the funds without penalty before age 59½ to pay for your child’s college tuition, housing, books, or other expenses. You can invest up to $5000 a year (or $6000 if you’re 50 or older).

PROS Like a 529, your savings grow tax-free. Unlike a 529, the funds can pay for your retirement if you choose.

CONS Though it may be tempting to raid your retirement fund to pay your child’s tuition, resist this urge. Consider using your Roth IRA for college only if you already have a sizable retirement fund elsewhere. As much as you may want to help your kids, you’ll assist them more by taking care of yourself first. Remember, they have years to pay off student loans—and if you don’t save enough for retirement, they’ll have to take care of you. Another drawback: For 2010, individuals must earn less than $120,000 to qualify; married couples filing jointly must earn less than $177,000.

2. Coverdell ESAs THE PLAN Parents can invest up to $2000 in these education savings accounts (ESAs) each year. The money grows tax-free until you withdraw it to pay for school expenses.

PROS Coverdells tend to have lower fees and more investment options than 529 plans. The funds may also be used to pay for K–12 expenses like school supplies, uniforms, or tuition.

CONS Only couples earning less than $220,000 combined or single parents earning less than $110,000 are eligible.

And unless Congress votes before January to extend Coverdells’ current benefits, the contribution limit will drop to $500 per year and K–12 expenses will no longer be covered. (If that happens and you have a Coverdell, you can roll over the funds into a 529 plan without incurring a penalty.)

4. Savings Accounts, Money Markets, CDs & Bonds THE PLAN Just go to a bank (or go online) and open up a savings or moneymarket account or buy a certificate of deposit (CD) or savings bond.

PROS Total flexibility. There are no restrictions on how you use the money—if your child doesn’t go to college, you won’t be stuck paying penalties or fees on your savings.

There is minimal risk, since the money is not invested in stocks.

CONS With low risk come low rewards—the interest you’ll earn with savings accounts, money markets, CDs, and bonds will almost certainly be much less than with other plans.

And with the exception of some tax-exempt bonds and money market funds, you’ll pay income taxes on your earnings.

A guide to the best strategies PROS There’s no annual contribution

by Carmen Wong Ulrich If you have a child or grandchild under 18, the price of college is likely on your mind: Freshmen headed to school this month face bills of up to $55,000 a year, and the cost of a four-year degree for a baby born today could reach $500,000. Parents should aim to save one-third of the total; scholarships, grants, and student loans should cover the rest. But whether your graduate-to-be is a toddler or a teen, the important thing is to start saving now.

Even if your child is just a year away from college, it’s not too late. He won’t need all the money at once, so you have five years to contribute to a plan where your savings can grow tax-free. Here’s a cheat sheet of the best plans.

1. The 529 Plan THE PLAN Many families got burned when their 529 plans lost value in the stock market, but don’t pull your money out now—the key is to keep your assets well-balanced, shifting from stocks (which hold greater earning potential but higher risk) to bonds (which tend to earn less interest but are more stable) as your child reaches college age. Every state offers at least one version of the 529, and you don’t need to live there to sign up. When it comes to fees and investment choices, plans vary, so visit a site like SavingforCollege .com to compare your options. Most states also offer tax breaks for 529 contributions, but you often need to choose your state’s plan to qualify.

TRAVEL

Road Scholars Would you take an 18,000mile bike ride with your kids?

Inside one Idaho family’s amazing—and ongoing—journey.

by Lynn Schnurnberger N A WORLD WHERE MANY families can’t even find time to sit down to dinner together, the Vogels of Boise, Idaho, have made an unusual and challenging choice: to spend nearly three years traveling 18,000 miles from Alaska to Argentina—by bicycle. On June 8, 2008, schoolteachers John, 55, and Nancy, 49, set off with their then 10-year-old twins, Daryl and Davy, to bike the entire Pan American Highway. Twenty-six months later, they’ve learned that a journey is about more than just the distance traveled.

The Speed Bumps The Vogels have endured sub-zero temperatures on the Bolivian altiplano, blinding Peruvian desert sandblasts, an excruciatingly steep 15,856-foot climb in the Andes, and on one occasion, a frightening predator.

Two years ago, after a long day on the road in British Columbia, John and Daryl went off to scout campsites while Nancy and Davy stopped to take a breather.

Suddenly a 400-pound bear lumbered dangerously close to where mother and son straddled their bikes.

“Ride away slowly,” Nancy whispered to Davy.

Then, as the bear chased after them, they amped up their gears and, legs and adrenaline pumping furiously, blasted to safety. “We were zooming away at a speed I didn’t think was possible,” Nancy recalls. “It’s amazing what you can do when you have to.”

To critics who question whether the boys are too young to be making such a demanding, sometimes

dangerous commitment, Nancy responds that they can quit at any time. “We make it together or we don’t make it at all,” she says. “Their passion keeps them going.”

“It would be pretty sad if we had to give up now, but I don’t think we will,” Davy declares, giving voice to the determination that’s been a hallmark of their journey.

Meeting the World Davy, who was at first hesitant to leave his friends, has “been surprised by how generous people are.

Sometimes they let us stay in their houses and give us stuff ”—like the bottles of Gatorade two good Samaritans placed along the Vogels’ Baja California Peninsula route. “Everywhere we go I meet people who are good,” Davy wrote in his journal. “If more people could see what I’ve seen, maybe we could have world peace.”

Taking the road less traveled comes naturally to John and Nancy, who met 20 years ago when each placed an ad in the same magazine for a traveling companion. Not surprisingly, their sons are also avid cyclists. When the Vogels finish their Pan American adventure—in March 2011, they hope—the boys will have set a new world record as the youngest people ever to cycle all the way from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina.

“Davy and Daryl are discovering what it means to follow your dreams, that you need to put one foot in front of the other,” Nancy says. When she herself felt like she couldn’t push through one more day of Northern Peru’s fierce headwinds and buginfested hotels, it was Daryl who reminded her to keep her eye on the prize. “You’re not going to make the winds or the bugs go away by complaining,” he told her. “We’ll get out of this area eventually.”

When the Next Disaster Hits…

Will We Be Prepared?

A

M E R I C A N S H AV E been rightly frustrated by the slow, clumsy response to the Gulf oil spill by both BP and the government. But there is another side to the story: that told by civil servants working nonstop in the Gulf who don’t have the tools they need. I recently had the experience of working with many of these federal and state first-responders through an executiveeducation program at Harvard focusing on disaster preparedness.

What I found was a group of people who are highly professional and care deeply about their performance but are ensnared in a governmental system that is hopelessly entangled and desperately needs fixing. “We know that we are performing far below effectiveness in the Gulf,” one exhausted man lamented. But given what we are facing, others asked, what can we do?

The inescapable conclusion, at least to me, is to create a command structure for disaster response modeled on the military. Through harsh experience stretching back to Pearl Harbor, our military has erected a strong command and control structure across military branches. It invests heavily in the training and equipment of its response teams and practices regularly for a wide array of worst-case scenarios.

Its capacity to overcome a crisis is unparalleled.

Alas, those of us who battle against natural disasters—people in Homeland Security, FEMA, the Coast Guard, the Centers for Disease Control, etc.—don’t come close. Laws and regulations patched together over the years have given large, often vague and confusing responsibilities to too many players, starting with the feds but also state and local officials and, in some cases, corporations like BP. The result is a chain of command clogged Visit us at PARADE.COM

dangerous. It is estimated that of the 20 costliest catastrophes in the world over the past four decades, half have occurred in the past decade alone—and no less than 13 of the world’s total have been in the U.S. It is also estimated that 91% of Americans now live in places with moderate-to-high risk of a natural disaster or terrorist attack.

We have made progress in handling smaller-scale incidents—witness the response to flooding in Nashville this spring— but we must develop a capacity for urgent, effective action against big ones.

F

We need to create an efficient response system modeled on the military. with uncertainty and delays. President Obama has insisted that he is in charge in the Gulf—and to his credit, he is forcing BP to cough up $20 billion— but too often, BP has appeared at the wheel as Washington rides shotgun. Meanwhile, state and local officials claim the feds are mired in bureaucratic red tape. The feds say that those folks, while often helpful, fight against each other over who comes first and that some grandstand for cameras.

This is a witches’ brew.

In simpler times, we didn’t need to worry so much about disasters on the domestic front. But for reasons no one fully understands, times have become more

IRST AND FOREMOST, we need to disentangle the messy laws and regulations that now exist, setting up a clear command structure for major disasters which is under federal leadership. Sure, we should leave prime responsibility under state and local control if the crisis can be contained; and sure, if a company such as BP causes the problem and can fix it, leave prime responsibility to it. But if a crisis mushrooms—as the oil spill did—the federal government must take decisive command.

Never again should the country’s fate rest with a corporation. Just as we now look to Gen. David Petraeus in Afghanistan, we must have his clone taking charge in a domestic crisis, knocking heads and mobilizing the full resources of the nation for immediate action.

Once we have good plans in place, we must invest far more in leadership training for first-responders.

We must make sure they have all the resources and practice they need. After that, we must unleash them to attack a crisis with full force and authority.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill in World War II, let us give them the tools they need so they can finish the job.

Why is it harder to treat a viral infection than a bacterial one?

—Heather Greene, Jackson, Miss.

A virus lives by penetrating cells and actually becoming part of them. So when you get a viral infection, it’s difficult to kill the virus without harming your cells at the same time.

In contrast, bacteria are organisms that live on their own.

(Note: Our bodies contain a huge number of bacteria that are either harmless or helpful; the harmful ones are in the minority.) When bacteria cause an infection, they are still living alongside our cells, so it’s easier to target them with medication.

This is why vaccination against viral diseases is so important. It prevents a virus from invading cells in the first place.
