UO group Court OKs Five Buttes to study Conservationists weigh new ways to stop logging project impact of resorts

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

Graduate students from the University of Oregon are going to try to give Deschutes County government more definitive answers about the costs and benefits of destination resorts.

Students from the university’s community planning workshop are scheduled to get their study under way Wednesday with four focus groups: tourism and resort industry representatives; environmental groups; residents who have participated in resort issues; and agencies such as cities and irrigation districts, said county Planning Director Nick Lelack.

Destination resorts have long been a source of contention in the county. They bring in tourists and property taxes but also create a need for roads and other infrastructure that did not exist before. One problem for Deschutes County officials has been that previous studies on the impact of the resorts have been produced by the resort industry, and opponents’ studies, perhaps not surprisingly, have been contradictory.

The U.S. Forest Service can go ahead with plans to log a section of an old-growth forest southwest of La Pine, according to a recent ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Five Buttes Project, which the Forest Service approved in June 2007, was designed to reduce the risk of swaths of the forest being wiped out by highintensity wildfires, insects and disease.

Agency officials noted that 40 percent of spotted owl nesting sites in the Deschutes National

“Oregonians want to see their old-growth forest protected, and what we’re talking about is logging old-growth trees inside of a protected old-growth reserve,” said Ivan Maluski, conservation coordinator for the Sierra Club’s Oregon chapter. “Logging the forest to save it from fire doesn’t make much sense.”

The Sierra Club and other conservation groups sued in 2007 to stop the Five Buttes Project.

Correction In a story headlined “Inmates on the fire line,” which appeared Sunday, Aug. 15, on Page A1, information about the cost of inmates and the role of Kevin Benton on Rooster Rock Fire was incorrect. Benton is the unit forester of the Prineville Sisters Protection Unit of the Oregon Department of Forestry, and said a contract fire team crew of about 20 people will cost the state $10,000 or more for a 12hour shift. Inmate crews cost the state about one-fifth of that.

REYNOSA, Mexico — A new word has been written into the lexicon of Mexico’s drug war: narco-censorship.

It’s when reporters and editors, out of fear or caution, are forced to write what the traffickers want them to write, or to simply refrain from publishing the whole truth in a country where members of the press have been intimidated, kidnapped and killed.

Shootout? What shootout?

That big shootout the other day near a Reynosa shopping mall? Convoys of gunmen whizzed through the streets and fired on each other for hours, paralyzing the city. But you won’t read about it here in this border city.

Those recent battles between the army and cartel henchmen in Ciudad Juarez? Soldiers engaged “armed civilians,” newspapers told their readers.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban on Sunday ordered their first public executions by stoning since their fall from power nine years ago, killing a young couple who had eloped, according to Afghan officials and a witness.

The punishment was carried out by hundreds of the victims’ neighbors in a village in northern Kunduz province, according to Nadir Khan, 40, a local farmer and Taliban sympathizer, who was interviewed by telephone. Even family members were involved, both in the stoning and in tricking the couple into returning after they had fled.

Khan said that as a Taliban mullah prepared to read the judgment of a religious court, the lovers, a 25-year-old man named Khayyam and a 19year-old woman named Siddiqa, defiantly confessed in public to their relationship.

Bills would make Web, devices more accessible

By Cecilia Kang The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Blind and deaf consumers, who have fought to make home phones and television more accessible, say they are now being left behind on the Web and many mobile devices. Touchbased smart phone screens confound blind people who rely on buttons and raised type. Web video means little to the deaf without captioning.

But new legislation is in the works to put the same pressure on consumer electronics companies that revolutionized an earlier generation of technology for the vision- and hearing-impaired.

“Whether it’s a Braille reader or a broadband connection, access to

technology is not a political issue — it’s a participation issue,” said Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., the author of a House bill aimed at making the Internet more accessible to people with disabilities.

Industry opposition The consumer electronics, entertainment and communications industries have been slow to include the disabled, some lawmakers and advocates say.

Big companies have fought against government regulators dictating new technical requirements, saying the industry is better-equipped to make its own engineering decisions.

Apple’s iPhone has built-in

speech software for the blind, but other smart phones require users to buy programs for the same functions. Some broadcasters put videos on the Internet with captions, but not all.

Markey’s bill and one in the Senate would make mandatory some of the changes in technology that industry is slow to adopt on its own.

It would allow blind consumers to choose from a broader selection of cell phones with speech software that calls out phone numbers and cues users on how to surf the Internet.

Legislation would make new television shows that are captioned also available online with closed-captioning.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

U.S. helps Afghanistan fortify rug profits

By Glenn Kessler The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Afghanistan is a nation of weavers, with some 1 million people helping to hand-knot intricate patterns of delicate wool. But it is also a nation at war — one that lacks factories and the equipment that would suit a proper industry.

Nearly all rugs made in Afghanistan are shipped to Pakistan for washing and finishing — then relabeled “Pakistani.”

Now, U.S. officials, hoping to stem what they see as a huge loss of potential income and jobs for Afghans, are getting into the rug business.

The Pentagon is poised to award a one-year, no-bid contract worth about $1 million to Tremayne Consulting to expand the market for Afghan carpets, a senior defense official said, speaking anonymously under rules set by the Pentagon.

Modeled on Iraq The project is modeled on an initiative in Iraq, where the Pentagon sought to rebuild the carpet business after Paul Bremer, head of the Coalition Provisional Authority, disbanded all stateowned enterprises. And, just as in Iraq, the Pentagon is turning to the same expert — London-based Richard Ringrose, for many years the vice president for Oriental carpets at New York’s ABC Carpet.

The Iraqi carpet factories had existed mainly to supply cheap, synthetic carpets for the palaces of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Ringrose, who recently set up Tremayne for the Afghan contract, obtained a Defense Department contract for Iraq to help introduce the use of natural fibers and new designs.

In Afghanistan, the challenges are different. There is no Afghan “brand” for rugs on the worldwide market. And instead of mass-production factories, the country has a cottage industry of weavers working mostly out of their homes. Ninety-five percent of the rugs produced in Afghanistan are shipped to Pakistan for washing and finishing, then la-

beled “Pakistani” rugs, according to a 2006 report by the USAIDsponsored Afghanistan Competitiveness Project.

Unwashed and unfinished Oriental rugs are essentially diamonds in the rough, and defense officials said as much as 40 percent of the wholesale value of an Afghan rug is lost to Pakistan.

Moreover, each carpet requires seven or eight people for washing and trimming — jobs that are also being lost to Pakistan.

Ringrose, under Pentagon contracting rules, was prohibited from speaking publicly with a reporter. The defense official and a person involved in the contract said that Ringrose would seek in the next year to establish training facilities for washing and trimming in Mazar-e Sharif and Herat, where much of the Afghan carpet weaving is centered. He will also create an Istanbul “hub” where foreign buyers unwilling to travel to Afghanistan could examine the merchandise.

The hope is that each facility would generate $20 million to $30 million in business, the defense official said.

Pakistan’s advantage The 2006 report, however, noted that Pakistan dominates the washing and trimming business because it has several advantages over Afghanistan, including lower wages and warmer weather, allowing for quicker drying. The report said such facilities in Mazar-e Sharif would need to use heaters indoors or close for at least two months in the winter.

Scott Gilmore, executive director of the Peace Dividend Trust, a nonprofit organization that works in Afghanistan, applauded the concept. “I think it is a great idea,” he said. “It is the sort of thing that aid agencies should have done five years ago.”

The Obama administration also is pouring aid into Pakistan, but defense officials insisted that the new effort will not adversely affect Pakistan’s troubled economy.

Nadeem Kiani, a spokesman for the Pakistani Embassy, also

said officials in Islamabad were not worried that the project would hurt the Pakistani carpet trade. “Afghanistan is a neighboring country, and we would like to have a good business relationship with them,” he said.

Requirements Defense officials were so impressed by Ringrose’s expertise that they essentially designed the contract to match his qualifications. The requirements include a minimum of 20 years of handson experience in the washing and finishing of hand-knotted carpets, 30 years’ experience in carpet management production, carpet experience in post-conflict regions, a minimum of 50 business relationships with high-end retailers in Europe and North America — and conversance in French, German and Turkish.

“Supplies of cotton are at all-time lows. While I can’t predict the price of cotton on any given day, I do think over time, long term, you’re going to see the price of cotton continue to rise.”

Cotton price tests 1995 peak

By Jennifer A. Johnson and Elizabeth Campbell Bloomberg News

CHICAGO — Cotton may be climbing to it highest price since 1995 as rising demand in emerging markets for everything from shirts to bed sheets forces textile makers to restock inventories that are the tightest in 13 years.

Export sales by the United States, the largest shipper, are off to their fastest start since 1993 as apparel demand in China, the biggest consumer, increased 24 percent, government data show. Cotton may advance 13 percent to a 15-year high of 94.9 cents a pound before new supplies are harvested in October, according to 17 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg last week.

The commodity is projected to extend its gains because demand is growing in Asia’s developing nations, even as signs emerge that the U.S. economic recovery may slow.

While the rally is enriching some cotton investors, it’s also boosting costs for Levi Strauss Co. and Hanesbrands Inc., the maker of Hanes underwear and the Wonderbra. The last time cotton traded above 90 cents a pound, in 2008, some merchants were forced into bankruptcy.

“Global consumption is exploding,” said Ron Lawson, a managing director at Logic Advisors, a commodity consultant in Sonoma, Calif. “We just can’t get enough cotton in place to meet the growing demand.”

Demand outpaces world production Production by the world’s cotton farmers will fail to keep up with demand for a fifth straight year, according to the Department of Agriculture.

That’s eroded inventories that merchants were reluctant to expand during the past two years.

U.S. stockpiles totaled 3.1 million bales at the end of the marketing year on July 31, the lowest level since 1996, USDA data show. Supplies in warehouses monitored by ICE have plummeted 98 percent since the end of May to 25,504 bales as of Aug. 12.

Global demand probably will grow 2.7 percent this year to 120.87 million bales as China boosts imports by 14 percent to 12.5 million bales and Pakistan’s surge 53 percent, the USDA said Thursday.

Worldwide stockpiles will drop 4.1 percent to 45.61 million bales, or about 38 percent of demand, the lowest ratio

since 1994, data from the USDA show.

“During the recession, everyone got rid of inventories,” Logic Advisors’ Lawson said. “Yarns, woven goods, textiles, clothing, you name it. There was tremendous purging, and now everyone is trying to rebuild inventories.”

Stockpiles are slipping as emerging-market economies expand at more than twice the pace of the U.S. and six times the rate of the euro zone. India will grow 9.4 percent this year, and China’s gross domestic product will increase 10.5 percent, the Washington-based International Monetary Fund forecast in July.

‘Strong’ crop expected A “strong” cotton crop this month and September may curb the rally in cotton, according to Eric Wiseman, the chief executive officer at Greensboro, N.C.-based VF Corp., the maker of Lee and Wrangler brand jeans.

The global harvest is expected to jump 14 percent to 116.85 million bales in the year that began Aug. 1, the most in three years and the biggest increase since 2005-2006, the USDA estimates.

U.S. output will surge 52 percent to 18.53 million bales, with the bulk of the harvest starting in October, the department said.

“The August and September cotton crop is expected to be strong,” Wiseman said on a July 22 conference call. “That could provide some relief next year.”

Cotton prices may remain “historically high” until at least the U.S. harvest, said Cliff White, a senior vice president at Singapore-based Olam International Ltd., the world’s third-biggest cotton trader, behind Cordova, Tenn.-based Allenberg Cotton Co. and Minnetonka, Minn.-based Cargill Inc. The last time prices topped 90 cents was more than two years ago, when Paul Reinhart Inc., one of the biggest U.S. cotton merchants, filed for bankruptcy in October 2008 after losses tied to volatility in the futures market.

In March 2008, cotton touched a 12-year high of 92.86 cents before plunging to 39.23 cents by November.

“Supplies of cotton are at alltime lows,” Hanesbrands Chief Executive Officer Richard Noll said on the company’s July 21 conference call. “While I can’t predict the price of cotton on any given day, I do think over time, long term, you’re going to see the price of cotton continue to rise.”

Gates says he would like to step down next year

By Craig Whitlock The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — For a man who came into his post reluctantly and as a purported short-timer, Defense Secretary Robert Gates is turning into more and more of a fixture at the Pentagon.

In an interview with ForeignPolicy.com that was published Monday, Gates indicated once again that his tenure will come to an end in the near term, saying he’d like to step down in 2011.

“I think that it would be a mistake to wait until January 2012,” he said, noting that he doesn’t want to force President Barack Obama to find a successor in the spring of a presidential election year.

But don’t hold your breath that Gates will permanently move back to his home in Washington state anytime soon. His press secretary, Geoff Morrell, tried Monday to tamp down

speculation that the Pentagon chief is close to calling it quits.

“Bob Gates has proven to be a miserable failure at retirement,” Morrell said, referring to how President George W. Bush persuaded Gates, 66, to return to public service as defense secretary in December 2006. “It remains to be seen whether his sense of responsibility trumps his desires, as in the past.”

A former director of the CIA and president of Texas A&M University, Gates committed to Obama that he would stay at least until the end of 2010. So his remarks to FP, made in July, were not a departure.

At the same time, Gates has been dropping hints that he could stick around even longer.

At a news conference Aug. 9, reporters pressed the secretary on his plans.

“As far as I’m concerned, all I will say is that I’m going to be here longer than either I or others thought,” he said.

Iraqi power-sharing talks called off BAGHDAD — Negotiations between Iraq’s two most powerful political blocs broke down Monday, dashing hopes that a solution to a more than fivemonth impasse after national elections was on the horizon.

The Sunni-and-secularbacked Iraqiya coalition of former Iraqi Premier Iyad Allawi called off talks with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s Shiite-backed State of Law alliance after the Shiite incumbent called them a “Sunni” group in an interview.

The move by Allawi’s group further isolates al-Maliki, who is intent on staying in power.

This month a coalition of Shiite groups also halted talks with alMaliki’s group.

The decision to stop negotiations comes just two weeks before U.S. forces will shrink to 50,000 troops. As the U.S. military discusses the “end” of the Iraq war, the nation’s future is unclear. There is still no government, government office functions are lagging and hundreds are dying in attacks each month.

Cancer is the world’s costliest disease Cancer is the world’s top “economic killer” as well as its

likely leading cause of death, the American Cancer Society contends in a new report it will present at a global cancer conference in China this week.

Cancer costs more in productivity and lost life than AIDS, malaria, the flu and other diseases that spread person-to-person, the report concludes.

The World Health Organization has long predicted that cancer would overtake heart disease this year as the leading cause of death. About 7.6 million people died of cancer in 2008, and about 12.4 million new cases are diagnosed each year.

Israeli’s Web post draws army’s ire TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli woman who completed her military service last year posted photographs of herself from the army posing with blindfolded and bound Palestinian prisoners, producing enraged commentary on the Internet and condemnation from the military.

The woman, Eden Abergil, from the southern city of Ashdod, is seen in the pictures, posted on her Facebook page, smiling next to the prisoners.

Acts done while in military service can be prosecuted, but a spokesman said that since Abergil had been discharged, legal action remained unclear.

KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai is planning to sign a decree this week ordering the disbanding of all private security forces by the end of the year, his spokesman said Monday.

There are at least 24,000 private armed guards in the country, some foreign but most Afghan, and there is no immediately available alternative for the array of crucial tasks they perform.

Karzai had been under pressure to bring private security companies under control, since a U.S. congressional investigation and news reports have asserted that the private guards often behave recklessly and, in some cases, even bribe Taliban insurgents to allow supply convoys to pass unmolested. Some security companies are so large that they constitute private armies of thousands of armed men, who can challenge or ignore local governments.

“They are parallel structure to the government,” said Waheed Omar, a spokesman for Karzai.

“They will soon be dissolved.”

Omar did not explain how that would be carried out or how the companies would be replaced.

In the past, the government of Karzai has sometimes promised things that it has shown itself to be unable to deliver. The president has pledged repeatedly to root out corruption in his government, but his efforts in that regard have fallen far short of the demands of his foreign backers.

Spokesmen for the U.S.-led NATO force in Kabul and officials in Washington expressed

“We have contractors who are currently guarding our embassy.

We honestly don’t know whether what President Karzai has in mind, you know, covers that.”

— Philip Crowley, State Department spokesman cautious approval for Karzai’s goal but said such a move would depend on the ability of the Afghan army and the police to replace private guards.

‘A shared goal’ “We have a shared goal with Afghanistan of transitioning from our current situation to security led by the Afghan government,” said Philip Crowley, a State Department spokesman.

But he added, “At this moment, we believe that there is still a need for private security.”

Crowley said U.S. Embassy officials in Kabul have the proposed decree and are studying it.

But he said there was uncertainty about which contractors would be covered.

“We have contractors who are currently guarding our embassy.

We honestly don’t know whether what President Karzai has in mind, you know, covers that,” he said.

Records show there are 52 private security companies regis-

tered with the government, with 24,000 armed men, most of them Afghans. But many, if not most, of the security companies are not registered with the government, do not advertise themselves and do not necessarily restrain their employees with training or rules of engagement. Some appear to be little more than gangs with guns.

In the city of Kandahar alone, at least 23 armed groups — ostensibly security companies not registered with the government — are operating under virtually no government control, Western and Afghan officials say. On Kandahar’s streets, armed men can often be seen roaming about without uniforms or identification.

Matiullah Khan, who runs one such force in Oruzgan province, fields an army of about 1,500 fighters, who are paid by trucking companies supplying NATO bases to protect a 100-mile stretch of road. He is, by many accounts, the most powerful man in Oruzgan.

Afghan and NATO officials have discussed ways of either controlling the private forces or replacing them. Replacing them with the Afghan army or the police — or NATO troops — would be problematic, as those troops are stretched thin. The Afghan security forces currently number about 225,000, and NATO forces about 150,000.

Pakistan warns of new floods Bloomberg News KARACHI, Pakistan — Pakistan warned Monday of a new flood wave making its way south along the Indus River and more heavy monsoon rains, threatening to add to the 20 million people who have lost homes, farms and livelihoods.

The forecast for further inundations in Sindh province came after United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon said the devastation was the worst he had ever seen and promised more emergency funding for relief operations.

The government’s Flood Forecasting Division said in its latest forecast that “exceptionally high” levels in the Indus River of up to 1.1 million cubic feet per second were expected at two dams in Sindh over the next 48 hours. New flood waters may also swamp low-lying parts of Sukkur, Larkana and Hyderabad, they said.

Appeals court puts same-sex marriages in California on hold

By David Siders and Cynthia Hubert McClatchy-Tribune News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — An appeals court Monday put samesex marriages on hold at least until December, freezing the effect of U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker’s historic overturning of Proposition 8 while the case is on appeal.

Walker, who ruled the marriage ban unconstitutional, had stayed his ruling until Wednesday, when same-sex marriages were otherwise to have resumed.

The highly anticipated, twoparagraph ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cheered defenders of Proposition 8 and deflated couples who had hoped to wed as early as Wednesday.

“California voters spoke clearly on Prop. 8, and we’re glad to see their votes will remain valid while the legal challenges work their way up through the courts,” Folsom attorney and Proposition 8 author Andy Pugno said in a

Treasures Continued from A1 Citizens of a democracy must have access to their history, Brachfeld understood. But what kind of country leaves its attic door open, allowing its past to slip away? His solution: Assemble a team of national treasure hunters.

They are two earnest federal agents and a bookish historian dutifully scouring Civil War collector shows, dealer inventories and the Internet for bits of Americana that wind up on an eBay auction block. They sift through leads from disgruntled divorcees and set straight do-gooders convinced they’ve just gotten hold of the Gettysburg Address.

Mission impossible It is mission impossible by any measure; the National Archives keeps watch over 10 billion federal, congressional and presidential records. The most famous — the Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights — are enshrined in the magnificent granite headquarters blocks from the White House. But they are a sliver of the nation’s important stuff, much of it shelved or boxed all over the country.

(Indeed, the dismantled pieces of Parkland Hospital’s Trauma Room 1, where President Kennedy was pronounced dead, are in an underground cave in Kansas that no one intends to open.)

Now the Archival Recovery Team, as the treasure hunters are formally known, is asking the American people to help find what rightfully belongs to them.

The team published a pamphlet on how to recognize a historical federal document, and whom to call if you find one. The Wright brothers’ patent — lost or sto-

Stoning Continued from A1 “They said, ‘We love each other no matter what happens,’ ” Khan said.

The executions were the latest in a series of cases in which the Taliban have imposed their harsh version of Shariah law for social crimes, reminiscent of their behavior during their decade of ruling the country. In recent years, Taliban officials have sought to play down their bloody punishments of the past, as they concentrated on building up popular support.

“We see it as a sign of a new confidence on the part of the Taliban in the application of their rules, like they did in the ’90s,” said Nader Nadery, a senior commissioner on the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission. “We do see it as a trend.

They’re showing more strength in recent months, not just in attacks but including their own way of implementing laws, arbitrary and extrajudicial killings.”

The stoning deaths, along with similarly brazen attacks in northern Afghanistan, were also a sign of growing Taliban strength in parts of the country where, until recently, they had been weak or absent. In their home regions in southern Afghanistan, Nadery said, the Taliban have already been cracking down.

“We’ve seen a big increase in intimidation of women and more

written statement.

The court also said it will expedite the case, scheduling oral arguments for December. That satisfied lawyers for two gay couples seeking to overturn Proposition 8.

Theodore Olson, one of the lawyers, said in a written statement that he was pleased the court “recognized the importance and pressing nature of this case and the need to resolve it as quickly as possible by issuing this extremely

“We have taken theft out of the shadows,” Brachfeld said, recalling the days when embarrassing losses were kept secret. “We want people to know we live, we exist. If it’s gone, we want it back. And if it’s stolen, we will do our best to send whoever took it to jail.”

This day, Brachfeld and his team are gathered around a conference table at Archives II, a big, bland building in the Maryland suburbs that belies the history between its climate-controlled walls: Jackie Kennedy’s bloodstained pink Chanel suit, the deed of gift for the Statue of Liberty, Eva Braun’s photo albums.

Mitchell Yockelson, a veteran archivist, is the team’s historical brains. He decides what belongs to the nation and what doesn’t.

Special agents Kelly Maltagliati and Dave Berry are the law enforcement brawn. They carry guns and raid houses.

Staff thefts Much has changed since Brachfeld, who came out of the Secret Service’s internal affairs, took the job a decade ago and was alarmed by a string of brazen thefts, some by trusted archives staff.

In 2001, Shaun Aubitz, in charge of preparing exhibits of the Philadelphia holdings, took virtually all of the collection’s presidential pardons and the deed to the hillside home of Robert E. Lee, whose front yard became Arlington National Cemetery. A dealer Aubitz tried to sell to became suspicious and reported him. When Brachfeld looked Aubitz in the eye and asked, “Did you take more than we’ll ever know?” Aubitz only winked.

strict rules on women,” he said.

Perhaps most worrisome were signs of support for the action from mainstream religious authorities in Afghanistan. The head of the Ulema Council in Kunduz province, Mawlawi Abdul Yaqub, interviewed by telephone, said Monday that stoning to death was the appropriate punishment for an illegal sexual relationship, although he declined to give his view on this particular case. An Ulema Council is a body of Islamic clerics with religious authority in a region.

Call for more punishment And less than a week earlier, the national Ulema Council brought together 350 religious scholars in a meeting with government religious officials, who issued a joint statement Aug. 10 calling for more punishment under Shariah law, apparently referring to stoning, amputations and lashings.

Failure to carry out such “Islamic provisions,” the council statement said, was hindering the peace process and encouraging crime.

The controversy could have implications for efforts by Afghan officials to reconcile with Taliban leaders and draw them into power-sharing talks.

Afghan officials, supported by Western countries, have insisted that Taliban leaders would have to accept the Afghan Constitu-

expedited briefing schedule.”

The expedited schedule could result in a ruling as soon as early next year, months sooner than might have come had the court not fast-tracked the case, said Vik Amar, a University of California, Davis, law professor.

But Rick Hasen, a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has a history of taking its time.

“Things have been known to languish in the 9th Circuit for years,” he said. “It is not inconceivable that we will wait until late 2011 or 2012 for a ruling.”

Before the ruling was announced Monday, county clerks around the region were preparing for a possible rush of gay couples seeking marriage licenses. Eighteen same-sex couples had made appointments for licenses in Sacramento County, and the clerk’s office had planned to stay open until 8 p.m. to accommodate prospective brides and grooms.

A few years later, a buyer shopping on eBay spotted Civil War documents he had seen in Washington’s archives collection and alerted authorities. A history buff named Howard Harner confessed to smuggling more than 100 of them out of the archives’ research room in his clothes over a six-year period, slicing off valuable signatures with a razor blade. Forty-two were recovered from his home; the team is still searching for the rest.

Balancing access and security Security tightened. Surveillance cameras scan the premises at all of the archives’ 44 facilities and presidential libraries.

Guards patrol. No purses, briefcases or jackets are allowed in the research rooms. Registrars keep track of what goes out and who signed for it. When Archivist of the United States David Ferriero showed up at his downtown Washington office one Sunday morning, the cameras caught him “breaking in” — and he runs the place.

The easiest course would be to lock it all away and be done with it. But the National Archives prides itself on balancing public access with historic preservation, inviting American citizens “to see for themselves the workings of the federal government.”

All you have to be is 14 or older with proper identification and a research card that takes minutes to get. A homeless man who used to come regularly to the Washington building got the same access as filmmaker Ken Burns.

tion, which guarantees women’s rights, and not expect a return to Shariah law.

The stoning deaths were confirmed by Afghan officials in the area Monday. Mahbubullah Sayedi, a spokesman for the Kunduz governor’s office, condemned the executions and said there was ample provision in Afghan law for prosecuting someone accused of adultery or other social crimes.

“We have courts here, and we can solve such cases through our judicial organizations,” he said. “This act is against human rights and against our national Constitution.”

Khan estimated that about 200 villagers participated in the executions, including Khayyam’s father and brother, and Siddiqa’s brother, as well as other relatives, with a larger crowd of onlookers who did not take part.

“People were very happy seeing this,” Khan maintained, saying the crowd was festive and cheered during the stoning. The couple, he said, “did a bad thing.”

A spokesman for the Taliban, Zabiullah Mujahid, praised the action.

“We have heard about this report and are trying to get information from our friends in Kunduz about the stoning,” he said, interviewed by cell phone. “But let me tell you that according to Shariah law, if someone commits a crime like that, we have our courts and we deal with such crimes based on Islamic law.”

Moose offer insight to arthritis New York Times News Service In the 100 years since the first moose swam into Lake Superior and set up shop on an island, the animals have mostly minded their moosely business, munching balsam fir and trying to evade hungry gray wolves.

But now the moose of Isle Royale have something to say — well, their bones do. Many of the moose, it turns out, have arthritis. And scientists believe their condition’s origin can

Impact Continued from A1 Deschutes County is going to pay the university’s community planning workshop from $10,000 to $40,000 for the full study, dependent on the level of work performed. The county has already paid $3,500 for the study’s first phase.

The focus groups are supposed to discuss which resort impacts the study should examine — for example, how resorts affect the environment, taxpayers and the local economy. How the first phase of the study unfolds could determine whether different interest groups trust the ultimate conclusions of the study, according to a representative of the tourism industry and the executive director of a land use watchdog group.

Wednesday’s focus groups are only open to people invited by the university’s Community Planning Workshop, Lelack said. There will be public meetings during the second phase of the study.

Lelack expects results of the first phase of the study to be ready by mid- to late September.

Earlier this year, Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney argued for the study of destination resorts, as an answer to contradictory reports on the issue by resort operators and a land use watchdog group.

With a couple of exceptions, most of the research on resort impacts has come from the anal-

yses developers are required to produce to get approval for their projects.

In 2009, consultants for Sunriver Resort and the land use watchdog group Central Oregon LandWatch each completed a report. A regional economist for the Oregon Employment Department also examined average wages for resort jobs, and how much tax resorts and their customers paid, in a 2007 report. Resort jobs paid more on average than other leisure and hospitality sector jobs, but about $10,000 less than average salaries across all industries in 2006, according to the report.

The positive impacts Sunriver Resort’s 12-page report focused on the positive impacts of the developments.

For example, resort owners at Sunriver Resort, Eagle Crest and Pronghorn paid approximately $1.7 million total in property taxes in 2005-06, according to the report.

Central Oregon LandWatch’s 103-page report focused on the county-approved, but as yet unbuilt, Thornburgh resort, planned near Tumalo. The report concluded that the costs of destination resorts outweighed the benefits.

Erik Kancler, executive director of Central Oregon LandWatch, said older resorts were more focused on tourism, while newer resorts built under current land use rules include more

single family homes. The county’s resort study should not rely solely on data from old resorts, such as Sunriver and Black Butte Ranch, but should also look at newer resorts such as Eagle Crest, Kancler said.

“There’s a specific set of rules that allow certain developments that we, and others, have criticized as golf course subdivisions,” Kancler said. He added that the county commissioners should commit to using the study’s results as a basis for their land use policy decisions.

Alana Audette, president and CEO of Central Oregon Visitors Association, said she hopes to participate in the focus groups but is not sure whether her schedule will permit her to do so this week, and she is concerned other members of the tourism industry might be too busy to participate during the summer season.

Reliable study results depend upon having participants who represent a range of interests, Audette said, and it could be difficult for owners and operators of small businesses to devote time to the groups at the height of the summer tourism season.

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, August 17, 2010 A5 PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Five Buttes Continued from A1 Although the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in Portland agreed with the organizations in 2008, last week the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the project could go forward.

The Forest Service takes projects in the old-growth reserves very seriously, said Mary Farnsworth, deputy forest supervisor with the Deschutes National Forest. But losing 40 percent of the spotted owl nesting sites in a decade is a serious problem, she said.

‘What we feel we need to do’ “Do we really think that leaving (old-growth reserves) alone is working? We would rather not lose the other 60 percent,” Farnsworth said. “The Five Buttes ruling allows us to do what we feel we need to do.”

The Five Buttes project includes logging and fuels reduction treatments across 5,522 acres in the Crescent Ranger District, including 618 acres of commercial logging in optimal spotted owl nesting, roosting and foraging habitat within the Davis Late Successional Reserve.

A late successional reserve is an area set aside for habitat conservation and old-growth ecosystems. The agency predicted that it would take those treated areas within the reserve 20 to 50 years to become suitable owl habitat again.

In Forest Service simulations

Censorship Continued from A1 As the drug war scales new heights of savagery, one of the devastating byproducts of the carnage is the drug traffickers’ chilling ability to co-opt underpaid and under-protected journalists — who are haunted by the knowledge that they are failing in their journalistic mission of informing society.

“You love journalism, you love the pursuit of truth, you love to perform a civic service and inform your community. But you love your life more,” said an editor here in Reynosa, in Tamaulipas state, who, like most journalists interviewed, did not want to be named for fear of antagonizing the cartels.

“We don’t like the silence. But it’s survival.”

30 reporters killed An estimated 30 reporters have been killed or have disappeared since President Felipe Calderón launched a militaryled offensive against powerful drug cartels in December 2006, making Mexico one of the deadliest countries for journalists.

But a ferocious increase in violence, including the July 26 kidnapping of four reporters, has pushed the profession into a crisis never before seen, drawn renewed international attention and spurred fresh activism on the part of Mexican newsmen and newswomen.

The United Nations sent its first such mission to Mexico last week to examine dangers to freedom of expression. On Aug. 7, in an unprecedented display of unity from a normally fractious, competitive bunch, hundreds of Mexican reporters demonstrated throughout the country to demand more secure working conditions and an end to the killings of their colleagues.

Few killings are ever investigated, and the climate of impunity leads to more bloodshed, says an upcoming report from the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists.

“It is not a lack of valor on the part of the journalists. It is a lack of backing,” said broadcaster Jaime Aguirre. “If they kill me, nothing happens.”

On the popular radio talk show he hosts in Reynosa, Aguirre chooses his words carefully.

He often finds himself issuing warnings to the public on which areas of the city to avoid. Listeners don’t have to be told why.

It is in Mexico’s far-flung states where narco-censorship is most severe.

From the border states of Tamaulipas and Chihuahua and into the central and southern states of Durango and Guerrero, reporters say they are acutely aware that traffickers do not want the local news to “heat the plaza” — to draw attention to their drug production and smuggling and efforts to subjugate the population. Such attention would invite the government to send troops and curtail their business.

“To go out and log the fire-resistant trees in (the forests) is just counterintuitive to the intention of the reserve.”

— Josh Laughlin, campaign director, Cascadia Wildlands of the Five Buttes Project, however, the proposed logging and thinning treatments would reduce the risk of wildfire by 40 percent when compared with doing nothing.

In his 9th Circuit Court ruling, Judge Milan D. Smith Jr. stated that the rules governing late successional reserves include conditions that allow the Forest Service to cut trees in the reserves — and the Five Buttes plan meets those conditions, he stated.

The agency stated there was an “extremely high” risk of losing old-growth habitat if the thinning and logging project isn’t done, Smith wrote. And although the Forest Service acknowledged the possible harm the logging project could cause in the short term, it balanced that with the reduced risk of wildfire, he said.

Log young stands Smith also stated that the court should defer to the agency when it comes to technical analyses and scientific evaluations.

Conservation groups agree with many aspects of the Five Buttes Project, said Josh Laughlin, campaign director with Cascadia Wildlands, and encouraged the agency to thin out young, fire-prone stands to reduce fire risk.

But the old-growth reserves in

“If there’s nothing official, we don’t print it. It makes me very angry. How can I bend to the demands of those people? But I have to calculate the risk.”

And so the journalists pull their punches.

When convoys of narco hit men brazenly turned their guns on army garrisons in Reynosa in April, trapping soldiers inside, it was front-page news in the Los Angeles Times. It went unreported in Reynosa.

After two of his reporters were briefly detained by Zetas paramilitaries later that month in the same region, Ciro Gomez Leyva, head of Milenio television, announced he was imposing a blackout on events in Tamaulipas. “Journalism is dead” in the region, he wrote. The bruised, strangled body of Durango reporter Bladimir Antuna was recovered late last year with a scrawled note attached: “This happened to me for ... writing too much.”

Threats are common Contacting reporters in the region can seem like a scene out of “The Third Man,” with meetings in discreet locations and discussions that involve code: The Zetas are referred to as “the last letter” (of the alphabet), while the Gulf cartel is the “three letters” (CDG — Cartel del Golfo).

Reporters and editors in Tamaulipas and Durango say they routinely receive telephoned warnings when they publish something the traffickers don’t like. More often, knowing their publications are being watched and their newsrooms infiltrated, they avoid publishing anything that risks falling into a questionable category.

Or they stick to just-the-facts government bulletins that may confirm an incident but won’t offer details.

“If there’s nothing official, we don’t print it,” said an editor from a northern newspaper. “It makes me very angry. How can I bend to the demands of those people? But I have to calculate the risk.”

Social media networks such as Twitter have filled some of the breach, with residents frantically sending danger alerts.

And a secretive “narco blog” has started posting numerous videos of henchmen and their victims, no matter how gruesome. But, residents say, the social media too have been usurped by traffickers, who use the system to spread rumors and stoke panic.

In Durango, where more newsmen were killed in 2009 than in any other state, broadcast reporter Ruben Cardenas said journalists could no longer do their job. “It is disinformation. It is a disservice to society,” Cardenas told the Los Angeles Times late last year.

the area should not be commercially logged, he said.

“We believe it’s currently functioning as owl habitat,” he said of the reserves. “That’s why we don’t think active treatment is warranted. To go out and log the fire-resistant trees in (the forests) is just counterintuitive to the intention of the reserve.”

And recent research has shown that logging in oldgrowth areas actually increases fire risk, in part because it removes the bigger, fire-resistant trees, said Maluski, with the Sierra Club.

The conservation groups are still determining what legal steps, if any, to take next, Laughlin and Maluski said.

And the Forest Service is waiting to see what happens next with the legal situation before starting to log, said Holly Jewkes, Crescent District ranger.

Project objective But the ruling helps the agency move toward the objective of the project, she said, which is to protect spotted owl habitat in the long term.

“It was really trying to take a landscape (scale), proactive approach to reducing fuel loads and forest density, reducing disturbances like insects and disease and certainly wildfire,” she said, pointing to the damage caused

by fires like the 2003 B&B Fire and the 2003 Davis Fire, which burned up almost a quarter of the Davis Late Successional Reserve.

And removing some large trees in the old-growth reserves will allow the even larger trees that remain to be healthy, she said. Crews will generally log fire-intolerant species like white firs and lodgepoles that are under 21 inches wide, she said, which are crowding out the 300to 400-year-old giants that provide key spotted owl habitat.

Reduce wildfire risk The ruling on the Five Buttes case affirms that the Forest Service can do treatments in reserves to make sure it is reducing the risk of losing them to wildfires, Farnsworth said.

And there are other areas in the Deschutes National Forest and other national forests that could use similar treatments, she said, possibly including an area west of Sisters. But just because the 9th Circuit ruled that the Five Buttes project could go forward, that doesn’t mean it is appropriate everywhere, she said, noting that the agency would have to do environmental studies to determine where logging or thinning projects belong in individual areas.

“The decision itself is good for us,” Farnsworth said. “There are other areas on the Deschutes and other forests that need these treatments to be done.”

North blusters as U.S., S. Korea start war drills

By Choe Sang-Hun New York Times News Service

SEOUL, South Korea — Tens of thousands of South Korean and U.S. troops began a new round of war games Monday, as North Korea threatened a “merciless counterblow” amid heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

The drills are the South’s third major exercise — the second conducted with the United States — since the sinking of a South Korean warship in the spring for which the South blamed the North.

The 11-day drills are the largest annual joint U.S.South Korean military exercises. This year they involve 56,000 South Koreans and 30,000 Americans in South Korea and abroad, some of them working on computer simulations.

As a parallel exercise, 400,000 South Korean government employees undertake a civil defense drill, which this year will include a simulated terrorist attack ahead of the

G-20 summit to be held in Seoul in November.

The North routinely calls the drills warmongering and accuses South Korea and its U.S. ally of preparing for an invasion.

North Korea has for years pursued nuclear weapons for what it describes as a deterrent to foreign attacks.

This year the North took action in addition to its belligerent statements, firing 110 artillery shells on a disputed western sea border with the South last week.

South Korea belatedly revealed that some of the rounds fell south of the disputed sea border, but its military did not respond, despite previous vows to do so.

The joint drills that began Monday are called Ulchi Freedom Guardian, in honor of a Korean general from the seventh century who Korean historians say routed a Chinese invasion.

China: Baby formula did not cause early puberty Obama embarks

By Lily Kuo Los Angeles Times

BEIJING — In an attempt to head off a mounting public relations crisis, the government said Chinese-made milk formula is not what caused early puberty in baby girls as young as 4 months old.

China’s Ministry of Health said Sunday that there was no link between the infant formula made by the Qingdao-based company Synutra International and cases reported by families using the product that their infant daughters had grown breasts.

After testing 73 samples of

milk formula from Synutra and other international and domestic brands of baby formula, the ministry concluded that hormones that might have caused the early development were present in the milk powder in normal levels.

One father in Beijing recently said his 1-year old daughter had grown breasts and was releasing vaginal discharge.

Three families in the central province of Hubei said earlier this month that their daughters grew breasts after drinking formula made by Synutra. The infants had levels of estradiol and prolactin, hormones that stimulate the production of breast milk, that were

The investigation, which was conducted with nine experts on food safety, endocrinology and pediatrics, concluded that the Hubei cases were a result of “minimal puberty” or the early onset of puberty that can happen in girls before the age of 2 and

boys of up to 6 months old.

Citing the fact that the infants in Hubei did not show abnormal bone growth or other signs, and that their hormone levels were now normal, Ministry of Health spokesman Deng Haihua said: “Breast development in the three baby girls in Hubei has no link to Synutra milk powder.”

Ben Embarek, a food safety expert with the World Health Organization, said health experts need to investigate whether even low levels of hormones in the formula could affect infants who rely on it as their main source of food.

ONLY 1 DIES IN CRASH OF JETLINER ON CARIBBEAN ISLAND

Periodico El Isleno / The Associated Press

A Boeing 737 jetliner filled with vacationers crashed in a thunderstorm and broke apart as it slid onto the runway on a Caribbean island Monday. Only one of the 131 people on board died. The island’s governor called it a miracle.

The plane hit short of the runway on Colombia’s San Andres Island and skidded on its belly as the fuselage fractured and bits of landing gear and at least one engine were ripped off. The jet wound up on one end of the runway, crumpled and in pieces, as passengers scrambled or

Australia’s opposition leads Labor in latest poll Bloomberg News SYDNEY — Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott’s coalition has an election-winning lead over Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s Labor Party before voters go to the polls Aug. 21, according to an opinion poll published Sunday.

On a two-party preferred basis, the Liberal-National coalition is ahead of Gillard’s party 51.4 percent to 48.6 percent, the poll of 4,000 voters in 20 marginal electorates across five states found, the Sunday Telegraph reported. The Galaxy poll result contrasts with an earlier Age Nielsen poll, which showed Labor ahead with 53 percent

support.

Support for the Labor government has weakened in parts of New South Wales and Queensland, the Galaxy poll showed, putting Abbott’s coalition on course to win the 17 seats it needs to secure power. Gillard is still ahead of Abbott as preferred prime minister, the Sunday Telegraph reported. The survey results don’t include polling in Tasmania and the Northern Territory, the newspaper said.

“This is going to be a very hard election to win,” said Abbott in an Australian Broadcasting Corp. interview. “I’m going to be running hard right down to the wire.”

N B U.S. toughening scrutiny of drilling

ronmental assessments will be required along the way.

WASHINGTON — The government said Monday it is toughening environmental reviews for all new deepwater oil drilling.

A report by the White House Council on Environmental Quality found that decades-old data provided the basis for exempting BP’s drilling permits from any extensive environmental review.

Now the Interior Department is banning such “categorical exclusions” for deepwater drilling reviews, at least until it investigates how the exemptions are granted.

“Our decision-making must be fully informed by an understanding of the potential environmental consequences of federal actions permitting offshore oil and gas development,” Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement.

For now, new deepwater drilling is under a temporary moratorium in the Gulf. Once that’s lifted, though, Interior’s new policy is likely to make it much more time-consuming for oil companies to move forward with new deepwater projects, since envi-

Racial variations found in obesity rates NEW YORK — Obesity increased among black and Native American girls in California even while declining for non-Hispanic whites, signaling flaws in programs aimed at combating fatness, researchers said.

The rate of obesity rose to 22 percent in 2008 for black girls, from 20 percent seven years earlier, while climbing for Native American girls to 23 percent from 15 percent, according to a study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics. Those numbers moved up even after 2005, when the rate for non-Hispanic white girls fell by 0.6 percentage point, to 10 percent.

The finding suggests there will be greater disparities among racial and ethnic groups over time, and that anti-obesity programs must be tailored to high-risk populations, said researchers led by Kristine Madsen, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco.

on fundraising tour for Dems President will speak at 3 public events, stop in Washington to support Sen. Patty Murray

By Scott Wilson The Washington Post

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. — President Barack Obama began a cross-country fundraising trip Monday, heading for states where Democratic candidates for governor and Congress face difficult races and where, two years from now, the president’s own political fate may be determined.

Starting in Wisconsin, Obama will visit five states over the next three days in the most extensive fundraising trip of his presidency. Three — Wisconsin, Ohio and Florida — provided crucial swing-state victories for Obama in 2008 and remain highly competitive heading into the midterm elections. California and Washington, the other two states on the itinerary, were comfortably blue two years ago, but Obama’s popularity has declined in both.

Obama will speak at six events for House and Senate Democrats and a trio of gubernatorial candidates, and is expected to raise millions of dollars. He will also appear at three public events designed to highlight various elements of an economic recovery that he says is slowly taking shape because of actions by his administration.

The first of those public appearances was here Monday at ZBB Energy, a company that makes advanced battery storage systems and that benefited from stimulus money. During his travels, Obama also plans to meet with small-business owners at a bakery in Seattle and with a family in Columbus, Ohio, to talk about the economic progress that he argues would be reversed if Republicans took control of Congress in November.

“Obviously, we have a lot more work ahead,” Obama, his

suit jacket off and sleeves rolled up, told 100 or so ZBB employees gathered in a chilly warehouse.

“But what’s clear is we’re headed in the right direction. And that means the worst mistake we could make is to turn back to doing the things that got us into this mess.”

As the midterm election season shapes up, the White House is discussing how best to deploy Obama, whose popularity has declined more in some competitive states and districts than in others. Vice President Joe Biden also will hit the campaign trail, particularly in regions where Obama may not be as well-liked.

Northwest visit So far, the president is primarily raising money rather than appearing alongside candidates on the trail, although that could change as races tighten.

His current trip focuses primarily on Democratic gubernatorial candidates; 37 governors will be picked in November.

Obama will raise money Wednesday in Ohio for Gov. Ted Strickland. Later that day he will appear in Florida with Alex Sink, the state’s chief financial officer and the presumptive Democratic gubernatorial nominee, at a fundraiser that will benefit the state party.

Today, Obama will raise money for Sen. Patty Murray, the Washington state Democrat facing a difficult race for a fourth term.

Murray has supported much of Obama’s agenda, a position she plans to feature in her campaign. Although Obama won Washington by 17 points in 2008, his approval rating there has fallen to just below 50 percent, mirroring a national trend.

LOS ANGELES — Federal safety officials have opened an investigation into a complaint about the steering system in a Kia Soul by a driver who claimed that he lost control of his car after the steering wheel came off.

Although normally a single complaint is unlikely to trigger a safety probe, the incident is cause for concern because “it occurred without warning on a new vehicle at low mileage and resulted in a complete loss of steering as well as a compromised brake system,” according to a statement released Monday by safety regulators.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said an owner of a 2010 Kia Soul reported that the steering shaft decoupled from the steering wheel as the vehicle was being driven, resulting in a complete loss of control.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index fell 1 point to 13, its worst reading since March 2009.

To put the data in perspective, any reading above 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor.

Why Fannie and Freddie will endure

By Andrew Ross Sorkin New York Times News Service

Rep. Barney Frank was furious.

The Massachusetts Democrat had been watching a morning news program that had me on, and soon afterward he was calling my cell phone to fume about that morning’s discussion. The topic? Why it has taken the government so long to address the fate of the zombie mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It is an issue that has been talked about a lot of late. Today, the Treasury secretary, Timothy Geithner, will convene a meeting of government officials and executives like Bill Gross of Pimco and Lewis Ranieri, the father of the mortgage-backed security, to delve into future housing policy and the role played by Fannie and Freddie.

On the television program that had stirred Frank, “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, the prevailing view was that any effort toward a resolution of Fannie and Freddie — government-created mortgage companies that were taken over by the government as the financial crisis mounted — had been put on the back burner during the overhaul of financial regulation.

In big test for Internet TV, Hulu prepares to go public

Former ConAgra unit fined for oil trade As 2007 came to a close, oil prices were hovering close to $100 a barrel and many analysts were expecting prices could exceed that in the new year. One commodities trader was determined to make it happen, even if it meant manipulating the market to snag bragging rights for executing the first trade ever for $100-abarrel oil futures.

It turned out to be a very expensive trade. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission announced on Monday that it had reached a $12 million settlement on charges that a trader for the ConAgra Trade Group, a prominent commodities trading company that was at the time a part of ConAgra Foods, purposely executed a trade for an oil futures contract at “a nonbona fide price.”

Central Oregon stations have received top rankings in recent years

im Gross doesn’t take too much credit for success at Bend Radio Group.

Gross said it’s his employees that caused the five-station group to land some of the highest ratings in Central Oregon for the last two years. All he does is hire them.

“The owner of the football team isn’t supposed to be on the football field coaching,” Gross said. “I hire idealists.

That’s the most important thing.”

In recent years, two of Gross’ stations — country station KSJJ (102.9 FM) and contemporary pop station KXIX (94.1

the most listened-to station in Central Oregon.

“Our goal is to create a format that gets everybody in there,” said Gross, 49.

“Very much, radio is targeted.”

While KSJJ and KXIX are the most popular of Gross’ stations, he has diversified in an attempt to reach a broader spectrum of listeners.

KRXF (92.9 FM) is Gross’ newest station. It started in 2007 as a rock station that would be unique to the Bend area — one that plays both classic rock songs most people know and brand-new music few people have heard.

Hulu, the rapidly growing hub for online television and movies, aims to go public through an offering that could value the company at more than $2 billion, according to people briefed on the matter.

In recent weeks, Hulu executives have begun talking to investment banks about pursuing an initial public offering as soon as this fall, these people said.

These people were granted anonymity because the discussions are still private.

Such a move would be one of the most prominent media offerings this year, building off Hulu’s success in streaming popular shows like “Glee” and “Modern Family.”

But despite its status as a big player in online video, the company makes little in the way of profit. In May, it reported taking in more than $100 million in revenue last year, though it added that it was on track to make that amount again by the middle of this year.

It plans to add a $9.99-a-month subscription service soon alongside its core advertising-supported business.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — How long is too long to be paid to go without a job?

As extended unemployment swells almost everywhere across the advanced industrial world, that question is turning into a lightning rod for governments.

For years, Denmark was held out as a model to countries with high unemployment and as a progressive touchstone to lib-

erals in the United States. The Danes, despite their lavish social welfare state, managed to keep joblessness remarkably low.

Now Denmark, which allows employers to hire and fire at will while relying on an elaborate system of training, subsidies for those between jobs and aggressive measures to press the unemployed into available openings, is facing its own strains.

As a result, it is beginning to tighten up.

Struggling to keep its budget under control after the financial crisis, the government in June cut into its benefits system, the world’s most generous, by limiting unemployment payments to two years instead of four. Having found that recipients either get work right away or take any job as their checks run out, officials are also redoubling longstanding efforts to move Danes more quickly out of the safety net.

Hotels are going green, gradually With big initiatives being sidelined by the recession, owners focus on ‘low-hanging fruit’

By Thomas Black Bloomberg News

By Martha C. White New York Times News Service

Continued from B1 “The cold fact is that the longer you are out of a job, the more difficult it is to get a job,” Claus Hjort Frederiksen, the Danish finance minister, said during an interview. “Four years of unemployment is a luxury we can no longer allow ourselves.”

‘Flexicurity’ In the United States, where the Senate passed an unemployment insurance extension last month only after a long battle, the debate over how to treat persistent joblessness has mounted as well. It pits those who argue that decent benefits are necessary to support workers and their families when companies are doing little hiring against those who contend longer benefits periods discourage jobseeking. Another fight is brewing over putting more federal dollars toward retraining.

Similar concerns loom in debtridden countries like Spain and Portugal, where the costs of high long-term unemployment have governments scrambling for a solution.

Such European countries could profit, many economists say, from adopting the more dynamic parts of Denmark’s “flexicurity” system. Now that the global recession has exposed chinks in its armor, though, Denmark’s efforts to find a new balance between job market flexibility and security for workers are setting off alarm bells in the country.

“We have a famous flexicurity model, but now it’s all flex and no security,” complains Kim Simonsen, chairman of HK, one of Denmark’s largest trade unions.

To be sure, Denmark is not abandoning the welfare state.

Government spending accounts for about half of gross domestic product and few Danes complain about a top income tax rate of 50 percent that generously finances

The little things This curb on green projects comes even as a growing number of corporations are reviewing a hotel’s green credentials when they solicit bids for contracts. In a business climate where trips and meetings are subject to greater scrutiny, companies are “really trying to look like good corporate citizens,” said Nancy Wilson, principal of MeetGreen, a company that plans events along eco-friendly guidelines.

The technology company Cisco asks hotels about several areas of environmental awareness, like recycling protocol, the use of eco-friendly housecleaning products and water conservation. Those with programs addressing at least five categories are identified on the company’s in-house travel booking tool with a green leaf symbol, said Pam Honeycutt, Cisco’s travel manager for the Americas and Europe.

Evaluating a hotel’s operational impact on the environment is difficult given the lack of an industry standard, she said. “There’s not one definition of what a green hotel would be,” she said. “They all get there by doing multiple things.”

To address this demand without going into the red, hotels are looking at what Faulstick calls “low-hanging fruit.” Lacking the capital to sink into big expensive retrofits, hotels are turning to small-scale conservation pro-

unemployment, pensions, health care and other accoutrements that studies claim make Danes the happiest people on earth.

‘Rolls-Royce treatment’ Hardly anyone in Denmark, a small, tranquil country of 5.5 million people, falls through the cracks. The constitution even guarantees Danes the right to work and to receive public assistance if they stumble. But sustaining a benevolent nanny state is proving to be challenging even for the notably generous Danes.

“It’s no surprise the government is saying that programs that are highly expensive and give a Rolls-Royce treatment to citizens have to be trimmed,” said Iain Begg, a professor at the London School of Economics. “So the search will now be on for labor market policies that deliver more people in work with less money, which has an inevitable air of the holy grail about it.”

In Denmark, employers have carte blanche to hire and fire, and laid-off people are guaranteed up to 80 percent of their wages in benefits, a figure capped for high earners. In turn, they must participate in retraining and job placement programs tailored to get them back to work, which the government has intensified.

Each year, a stunning 30 percent of Danes change jobs, knowing the system will allow them to pay rent and buy food so they can focus on landing a new position. About 80 percent belong to unions, which manage the workplace, help run the unemployment insurance program and press the laid-off into retraining.

But as the financial crisis erased jobs, the government, Denmark’s largest employer, has had to provide more temporary work and intensify coaching.

Unemployment is at 4.2 percent today, lower than most European countries, though more than twice the 1.7 percent rate two years ago.

grams that will satisfy corporate buyers. As a bonus, many of these programs also reduce their energy and water bills.

This includes practices such as training staff to switch off lights and televisions, encouraging guests to embrace less-frequent sheet and towel changes and installing lower-cost fixtures like water-conserving showerheads and compact fluorescent light bulbs. “Low-flow faucets and toilets can bring an immediate savings of 10 to 20 percent,” Faulstick said.

Striking a balance Starwood Hotels & Resorts is among those exploring ways to save both money and resources.

At its Element brand hotel in Lexington, Mass., energy- and water-efficient products like compact fluorescent light bulbs, Energy Star-rated appliances and low-flow plumbing fixtures in guest rooms save the company about $52,000 annually, according to Brian McGuinness, a senior vice president at Starwood.

Since energy use is the secondlargest expense a hotel incurs after salary and benefit costs, practices that reduce this are widely embraced. David Jerome, a corporate responsibility executive with the InterContinental Hotels Group, says the economic downturn accelerated the company’s green plans. One program intended only as a pilot is being ex-

As in Germany and some other European countries, hundreds of Danish employers have also embraced government-subsidized short-work programs, a tactic adopted to keep a lid on unemployment. The plans allow companies to cut working hours to hold onto highly skilled workers, rather than laying them off when times are tough.

panded to the InterContinental’s entire portfolio because of the potential cost savings.

Hotels have had to strike a balance, though. They need to simultaneously keep their green initiatives unobtrusive so that guests don’t feel inconvenienced, but make them visible enough to satisfy environmentally-conscious travelers.

Bjorn Hanson, dean of the Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management at New York University, said research shows that even guests who say they are environmentally aware won’t pay more or accept inconvenience. If bottles of shampoo, conditioner or other items are replaced with wall dispensers, guests complain, he said.

Jerome said the InterContinental is trying to focus on environmental steps that guests either won’t notice or won’t mind. “We don’t want the guest to feel like it’s all up to them,” he said. “We have to balance the guest experience versus the environmental benefits.”

Marriott International is using unobtrusive green elements in a pair of new properties near Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport. The properties, the SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway and the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway, incorporate low-flow plumbing, water-conserving landscaping and energyefficient lighting, with an emphasis on natural light.

Laying groundwork Lisbeth Halvorsen, 30, had her first brush with unemployment last month, after her part-time teaching job expired. She will get 70 percent of her salary, but is frantically sending résumés to get out of the system as soon as possible.

The government has created a lot of incentive to do so, she said.

To vitalize its job-activation program, Denmark has outsourced some of it to private companies, which receive bonus payments for every person placed into job training or a new job.

That has led to cases where laid-off workers spend an entire month in courses to improve their résumés, or tied up in “sit-aroundand-drink-coffee meetings” to obtain unemployment checks.

Occasionally, they offend Danish sensibilities. Torben Frederiksen, 32, a plumber out of work for three months, said his unemployment center forbade him from attending his mother’s funeral because it conflicted with a meeting with his counselor.

“They told me that a funeral was no excuse for missing my appointment,” he said. Frederiksen went anyway, and was ultimately granted another meeting.

From the perspective of Frederiksen, the finance minister, Denmark is carefully laying the groundwork for the future by changing its policies to make more people eligible for work when the economy picks up.

“In two years, we expect to be out of the crisis,” he said, “and we’ll need to be ready.”

The SpringHill Suites Atlanta Airport Gateway incorporates money-saving green elements like low-flow plumbing, water-conserving landscaping and energy-efficient lighting, along with an emphasis on natural light.

Don’t be fooled by CEO exits at Hewlett-Packard, General Motors and Sara Lee this month. Chief executive officer turnover has fallen to a fiveyear low and may not rise until the economic outlook clears and stock-option values rebound.

There were 709 CEO changes in 2010’s first half among publicly traded companies in the U.S., down from 871 a year earlier and 1,482 in the first six months of 2006, according to New York-based Liberum Research, which tracks those changes.

“Boards were looking at their CEO and saying, ‘You’re not going anywhere. We’re in trouble right now and we need you to stick around and sort this out for us,’” said John Wood, chief of CEO and Board Practice at Chicago-based Heidrick Struggles International Inc. “C-suite churn” sliding to levels not reached since at least 2005 shows how directors prefer to shake up top management in good times and stick with “the devil they know” during a recession, said Gail Meneley, a co-founder of search firm Shields Meneley Partners in Chicago. C-suite refers to top managers with title acronyms that begin with the letter C, such as CEO, CFO, COO and CIO. Turnover will probably stay low into 2011 as the strength of the recovery remains in question, she said.

“Boards adjust their expectations based on external factors just like they adjust based upon internal factors,” said Maggie Wilderotter, CEO of Frontier Communications Corp. and a Procter Gamble Co. and Xerox Corp. director. “The economy is a big external factor.”

The departures of Mark Hurd from Hewlett-Packard and Brenda Barnes from Sara Lee were atypical because they weren’t linked to company performance, Wood said.

Hurd, 53, was forced to resign on Aug. 6 after an internal inquiry turned up faulty expense reports and a personal relationship with a contract worker. Sara Lee said Aug. 9 that Barnes, 56, stepped down as chairman and CEO for health reasons after a stroke in May. Directors’ desire for continuity shaped CEO Ed Whitacre’s decision to step aside as GM plans an initial public offering to cut the government’s 61 percent ownership stake. GM’s board and bankers asked Whitacre, 68, to agree to leave now or stay for years more to ensure the success of the automaker’s IPO, three people with knowledge of the matter said.

The embrace of CEO incumbency stems from the same caution that’s swelling corporate treasuries with record hoards of cash, said Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, associate dean of the Yale School of Management and head of the Chief Executive Leadership Institute. Companies in the Standard Poor’s 500 Index had $1.24 trillion in cash at the end of the most-recent quarter.

“Now we’re seeing excessive risk aversion,” he said. “We’re seeing too much conservatism.”

The silver lining: Boards that once celebrated “swashbuckling” risk takers at the helm now are promoting from within and planning better for succession to cut the disruption from a leadership change in tough times, Sonnenfeld said.

CEO turnover in North America dropped in 2009 to 12.4 percent from 14.8 percent in 2008 and 15.6 percent in 2006, according to the report, which surveyed 2,500 companies worldwide.

Changes linked to mergers and acquisitions slid to 2.1 percent last year, from 4.6 percent in 2006.

Forced exits accounted for 1.5 percent of the departures, compared with 4.3 percent in 2006, the Booz researchers found.

Hotels eager to satisfy the growing desire of business travelers for eco-friendly lodging are finding that their environmental ambitions have run headlong into the harsh realities of the recession.

When the economy was thriving, developers were promoting environmental flourishes like roof gardens, floors of reclaimed wood, and solar panels.

When the Orchard Garden Hotel opened in San Francisco in 2006, it featured furniture made from sustainably grown wood.

Now, with reduced operating budgets, hotel owners are putting off the kind of sweeping projects that were common during the bull market and instead focusing on smaller environmental initiatives that don’t cost as much and may even save money at the same time.

“Big-ticket items that have long-term return on investment have definitely been put on the back burner,” said Steve Faulstick, general manager of the Doubletree Hotel in Portland and a board member of the Green Meeting Industry Council. “We’d love to be completely green and sustainable, but we’re not going to do that at the expense of laying people off.”

The lodging industry is still working its way through a prolonged slump. Hotel occupancy rates have recovered a bit from the trough of 2009, especially at business hotels in big cities. But they remain depressed overall, and average occupancy for all domestic hotels in the second quarter was 60.7 percent, compared with the 69.3 percent the industry enjoyed in the third quarter of 2000, according to STR Global. This makes it extraordinarily difficult for hotels to pay for big-ticket green renovations, especially with a tight credit market.

“The traditional sources of that financing, which are local and regional banks, are stressed by their commercial real estate exposure,” said David Loeb, senior research analyst at the investment firm Robert W. Baird & Co.

T F Dell to pay $1.15B for data storage firm

By Benjamin Pimentel and Steve Goldstein MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO — Dell Inc. said Monday that it will pay $1.15 billion to buy data storage company 3Par Inc., its fifth acquisition this year, highlighting the computer giant’s push to expand its portfolio in the corporate technology market.

Shares of Round Rock, Texas-based Dell slipped a fraction Monday as the company unveiled plans to pay $18 in cash for each share of 3Par — about an 87 percent premium to 3Par’s

closing price Friday of $9.65.

Shares of 3Par soared more than 85 percent.

Dell expects the company to lift adjusted earnings in fiscal 2012. Both firms’ boards of directors have agreed to the deal.

The acquisition underscores Dell’s bid to boost its competitive position in the corporate market, specifically in datastorage systems.

Fremont, Calif.-based 3Par offers virtualized storage services to mid- and large-sized companies, governments and

financial-services firms. As of last year, the company’s clients included Pier 1 Imports Inc., Credit Suisse, GoDaddy.com and the U.S. Department of Justice.

However, the company has recorded losses in each of the past three fiscal years.

Kaufman Bros. analyst Shaw Wu said buying 3Par is “a step in the right direction.”

“They’re definitely on an acquisition spree,” he said, referring to Dell, in an interview. “It’s the right idea to diversify their non-PC revenue stream.”

Atari President Jim Wilson, left, and Chief Executive Jeff Lapin are looking to largely bypass selling games at retail stores by leaping into the fast-growing digital side of the business.

Warcraft.”

But to drive much of its growth, the company hired a veteran Microsoft and Yahoo executive to head its online activities. Thom Kozik, executive vice president of online and mobile, has contracted with outside producers to make 15 to 20 updated versions of Atari games for the Web. Though some of its games will be pay-to-download, Atari is embracing the increasingly popular free-to-play business model used by companies such as Playdom, which was recently acquired by Walt Disney Co. in a deal worth up to $763 million. Most players of so-called F2P games spend nothing, while a small but avid group pay for virtual items that enhance the experience.

“Over the next six months you’re going to see some of our best brands coming out as casual online games and digital downloads across multiple platforms, and you’ll see a handful of retail releases,” Wilson said.

News Corp. plans digital newspaper

By Dawn C. Chmielewski Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — News Corp. Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch is embarking on an ambitious plan for a new national digital newspaper to be distributed exclusively as paid content for tablet computers such as Apple Inc.’s iPad and mobile phones.

The initiative, which would directly compete with The New York Times, USA Today and other national publications, is the latest attempt by a major media organization to harness new devices to reach readers who increasingly consume their news on the go. The development underscores how the iPad

is transforming the reading habits of consumers much like the iPod changed how people listen to music.

“We’ll have young people reading newspapers,” the 79year-old Murdoch said during the company’s Aug. 4 earnings call. “It’s a real game changer in the presentation of news.”

Unlike News Corp.’s business-centric Wall Street Journal, the new digital newspaper would target a more general readership.

The newsroom would operate under the auspices of Murdoch’s New York Post and be overseen by its managing editor, Jesse Angelo. News Corp. has yet to set a launch date, although peo-

ple familiar with the matter said the news organization would like it to debut by year’s end.

Although it would draw on the reporting resources of the Post and Dow Jones, Murdoch could potentially invest millions of dollars to staff the operation and charge a yet-to-be determined subscription fee. One person familiar with the plan said News Corp. envisions a staff of several dozen reporters and editors and that the budget has not yet been determined.

Brand advantage Atari also is aggressively licensing its original logo for a slew of items including bags, hoodies and wallpaper. Wilson, who is overseeing the effort, said the company is “staying out of the tchotchke business.”

But, as well-known brands such as Playboy have learned, the strategy carries risks.

“Trying to sell retro Atari may say to people that you’re consumed with your past and not focused on your future,” said Helen Gould, a director of verbal identity for brand-consulting firm Interbrand.

Licensing throws off a small but stable source of revenue that Atari very much needs, however, and could let the company enjoy some riches from its intellectual property much like superhero giant Marvel Entertainment, acquired by Disney last year for $4.3 billion.

International Creative Management, Atari’s Hollywood agency, has set up “Asteroids” as a movie in development at Universal Pictures and “Roller Coaster Tycoon” at Sony Pictures Animation and is shopping other titles like “Missile Command.”

“We want Atari to be a company that’s a part of the zeitgeist,” said ICM President Chris Silbermann.

The tension between Atari’s desire to profit from its past and its push to become relevant in the present is best captured in Bushnell, whose very presence denotes a desire by new leadership to connect with the company’s glory days. The 67-year-old inventor said he spends two days a week on average consulting on upcoming online games such as Centipede and Asteroids but often finds himself regaling new employees with stories from the 1970s.

“We dominated this business from its dawning until the mid’80s,” said Bushnell, but “the wonderful thing about the video game business is that legacy positions are never set in stone.”

Hulu

widely regarded as soft, it was unclear how a Hulu offering would fare, and there was some concern in the marketplace that a potential stock sale by GM particularly would soak up a large part of investor demand.

A Hulu representative could not be reached for comment Sunday.

Other online media companies are also testing the IPO markets, notably Demand Media, a publisher of articles and video based on search engine inquiries. Demand Media’s offering also faces questions about its prospects, given the company’s string of operating losses.

Led by Jason Kilar, a former Amazon.com executive, Hulu has grown to become one of the biggest sources of online video on the Web. It features content from most major TV networks — CBS and CW are two exceptions — and several movie studios like MGM and Lions Gate.

But Hulu is still confronting big questions about its prospects.

The company has long been believed to be second only to YouTube in terms of online viewers.

But a revision to comScore’s methodology sent Hulu’s viewership numbers plummeting, to 24 million in June from 43.5 million in May.

Continued from B1 Analysts say the move could build its strengths against rival video-streaming services like Netflix and a rumored update to Apple TV from Apple.

An offering would be among the most significant developments for Hulu in its three-year history. Founded as a joint venture of the News Corp., Walt Disney Co., NBC Universal and the private equity firm Providence Equity Partners, Hulu aimed to be a counterweight to YouTube and other free video sites.

YouTube was bought in 2006

by Google for about $1.65 billion and has remained the undisputed leader in online video, with about 144.5 million viewers in June, according to comScore, the measurement company. Yet YouTube has been unprofitable since its acquisition, though analysts predicted this year that the service would turn a profit in 2010.

An initial public offering by Hulu is by no means a guaranteed success. Several major initial offerings are in the works, including those of General Motors, the hospital operator HCA and Toys “R” Us. With the market for IPO’s

Fannie Continued from B1 The consensus was that neither Democrats nor Republicans wanted to touch an issue that would dredge up decisions made by both parties over the last decade that looked bad in light of the financial crisis.

Fannie and Freddie was now the third rail of American politics.

Frank was having none of that.

“I take offense at the idea that we’ve done nothing,” he told me. Far from dragging its feet, he insisted, the government took the bold step of putting Fannie and Freddie into conservatorship in 2008.

“There was no political fear to not do it.”

I pushed back and asked the question that I hear from so many Americans: Why hasn’t the government tried to unwind and replace Fannie and Freddie, which have so far cost taxpayers $145 billion, more than any other bailed-out firm?

His response was counterintuitive — and as unsatisfying as it may sound, he’s right.

“There is no urgency,” he said.

Come again?

“We’ve already abolished Fannie and Freddie,” he said,

HP Continued from B1 But the board was increasingly troubled that Hurd had been so willing to put Fisher, whose job was to introduce Hurd to customers at HP marketing gatherings, in front of top customers at upscale company events. Nor could they fathom how Hurd could authorize more than $75,000 in payments and expenses, including first-class travel and stays in luxury hotels, for Fisher when the company’s employees traveled under more austere conditions, according to several people with knowledge of the expenses.

Hurd has been portrayed as engaging in increasingly questionable behavior as HP examined his relationship with Fisher.

The directors could not grasp how he could defend having a close personal relationship with an expensive contractor and play down her background in sexually charged films like “Intimate Obsession” and “Body of Influence 2.” She also posed partly nude in Playboy while in college in the early 1980s.

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, August 17, 2010 B5

referring to the government takeover. “Yes, we waited too long to fix it. But the money is not being lost by anything they are doing now.”

In other words, the sinkhole that is Fannie and Freddie — Freddie just said it needed an additional $1.8 billion, and the Congressional Budget Office says the combined companies could cost taxpayers $389 billion over the next decade — is not a function of those firms making new loans that have gone bad, but the continued “bleeding,” as Frank put it, from previous loans made before the crisis that are still going belly-up.

More important, shutting down Fannie and Freddie and having the private market step in, as politically popular a sound-bite as that may be, is economically unfeasible.

For better or worse, Fannie, Freddie and Ginnie Mae were behind 98 percent of all mortgages in this country so far this year, according to the Mortgage Service News. Pulling the rug out from under them would be pulling the rug from under the entire housing market as it continues to struggle under its own weight.

“Nobody in the private market thinks we’re ready,” he said, adding that whatever legislation is developed, it will be

“for a post-recession world.”

That reality, however, is not changing the minds of many who are calling for a return to a private system that doesn’t depend on the government to subsidize housing.

One of the more interesting ideas being floated is that the government-sponsored enterprise, Fannie and Freddie, would subsidize loans only for low-income families by lowering the amount considered for a conventional loan — or conforming loan.

At the moment, Fannie and Freddie are buying up conforming single-family mortgages that are worth up to $417,000, and in some cases as much as $729,750, clearly benefiting families that don’t need the subsidy. Even if conforming loans are reduced — a prospect that troubles Frank — there is still going to need to be some sort of support for that marketplace because the big banks say they won’t do it.

“A clear government role will be necessary to support lending to lower-income borrowers because it is likely that underwriting standards will become more rigorous and funding for mortgage lending more difficult and costly,” the deputy general counsel of Bank of America, Gregory Baer, wrote in a letter to the Treasury. (Crit-

ics of the banks will point to language like that to show why the bailouts are not helping ordinary Americans.)

No matter what the ultimate plan, the transition to get there will be painful. “Were the GSEs to cease buying mortgages or guaranteeing mortgage-backed securities, financing for buying homes today would be virtually nonexistent until the banks got back up on their feet. This would result in mortgage prices increasing, causing demand for housing to decrease, taking the value of homes even further down,” Anthony Randazzo, director of economic research of the Reason Foundation, wrote in a letter to Geithner.

Nonetheless, Randazzo, whose foundation leans toward libertarian views, takes a much bolder step. “This means that prices have not been allowed to reach their natural bottom, from which a sustainable recovery could begin.” And Randazzo wants to see housing prices truly bottom out.

But allowing the housing market to crater simply so it can rise again — a very freemarket approach — is politically unpalatable, especially as the nation’s unemployment number still hovers near 10 percent.

“It’s intellectually pretty difficult,” Frank said.

Simply put, he lost the board’s trust, said people with knowledge of the board’s thinking.

A person close to Hurd counters that HP officials are trumping up a version of events in conversations with reporters.

“Mark Hurd is shocked and enraged by allegations from an HP board source that by settling an unfounded sexual harassment claim he was impeding the board from learning the truth,” said this person close to Hurd.

Hurd had been encouraged by the directors to settle the claims for weeks, the person said.

People close to Hurd have argued that certain board members overreacted to the sexual harassment charges and the possible negative publicity if word of them leaked.

Company officials, meanwhile, have publicly stated that Hurd’s behavior ran far afoul of company policy. In particular, Hurd has been accused of trying to hide an inappropriate relationship with Fisher by altering his expense reports.

An HP spokeswoman, Christina Schneider, declined to comment on the matter.

Regardless, the company is

getting exactly what it had hoped to avoid. It hired Kent Jarrell, a crisis management expert from the public relations firm APCO Worldwide, soon after the board received the harassment complaint at the end of June. Jarrell wrote a mock news story for the board, saying it could expect headlines about HP’s having a soft-core pornography star working its events, people with knowledge of Jarrell’s work said.

“This history here is important,” said Scott Stern, a business professor at the Sloan School of Management at MIT. Federal regulators are keeping a close eye on the HP board’s behavior after a scandal several years ago when factions of HP’s board spied on other members of the board, journalists and employees in an attempt to stop leaks.

“This is a very proud company with a great history,” Stern said.

“The fact is that you could understand that the board would be trigger-shy about public controversy.”

Hurd, according to those close to him, found it baffling that the company would disclose the sexual harassment case after a com-

pany investigation turned up no wrongdoing.

The accusations linking Hurd to improper spending resonate because he had built up a culture of severe financial accountability at HP. A former HP executive said that Hurd’s meetings were known internally as “rectal exams” because of the fierce questioning.

“If you put up a slide with lower financial forecasts, he would spot it right away,” the executive said, requesting anonymity because he still deals with HP. “Then, he would demand that you fix the situation.”

Stories abound of Hurd’s slicing into marketing costs and making employees fight for every dollar in the budget (although Hurd often found marketing money to sponsor tennis events, uniting his love of the sport with HP).

It’s this history that made Hurd’s recent behavior stand out to the board.

The situation was made worse after HP discovered that Hurd had viewed some of Fisher’s racy acting on his work computer, signaling that he was aware of her past.

Bank has agreed to forfeit $298 million to U.S. and New York authorities to settle criminal charges brought Monday by federal prosecutors, who allege that the British bank violated U.S. financial sanctions against Cuba, Iran, Libya, Sudan and Burma for more than a decade by knowingly aiding banks in those countries with $500 million in transactions with U.S. entities from 1995 to 2006.

In a pending plea agreement filed in federal court in the District of Columbia, the U.S. government alleged that Barclays, through its U.S. dollar-clearing operation at its New York branch, followed directions to omit the names of banks in sanctioned countries when sending payments to the United States, stripped off identifying information,

routed payments through an internal account to hide links to those countries and deliberately used less transparent “cover payments.�

Lowe’s voices caution NEW YORK — People bought more air conditioners and grills at Lowe’s Cos. in early summer, boosting second-quarter net income 10 percent, but overall spending was hurt by hot weather and the weak economy, the home-improvement retailer said Monday.

The No. 2 home improvement retailer joined a long line of companies in sounding a cautious note about consumer spending and cut its yearly revenue guidance as worries grow about a stalling economy. — From wire reports

Last spring, after much community debate, Madras voters gave the city the go-ahead it needed to build a new City Hall and police station.

Now, city officials are working on securing a federal loan to make the new buildings a reality, and they hope to start construction by June 2011.

City Administrator Mike Morgan said the city is working this week to complete an application for a loan to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Administration.

“Two things happened: Everything stopped while the community went through the election process,” Morgan said.

“And then you have to re-engage everything. Numbers become dated, our initial application was turned in July of 2009 ... so, we had to pick up 13 months of new data.”

Raymond Walker, who died in a crash Sunday afternoon near Cultus Lake, was a leading businessman in Nocona, Texas — his lifelong hometown.

Walker, 62, and his wife, Mary Walker, about 60, were riding a Honda three-wheeled motorcycle east on Forest Service Road 40 about 2:30 p.m. when a Subaru Impreza swerved in front of them, according to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office.

The Impreza, driven by Eric Ellingson, 23, of Sunriver, went out of control on a left turn, swerved into oncoming traffic, and then hit a tree.

Before shooting a photo of this white 1957 Chevy, I drove around Bend looking for large area that could be underexposed to create a nice black background. I also used two strobes to light the exterior of the car and one inside to draw the viewer’s eyes into the interior.

$1 million grant to fund study of health insurance

The Bulletin

Photographing a highly reflective object like an automobile can be daunting and challenging, but a little thought and preparation prior to releasing the shutter will often yield a much stronger photograph.

If possible, find a background that will complement the car’s color. For example, a red car in a green field will make for a more dramatic photo than a tan car with a light background. After finding a nice background, look around the frame for things that distract your eyes from the car, such as power lines, tree branches and telephone poles. Walk around the car and look for smaller debris like trash, leaves or sticks that are often overlooked.

Good automobile photography demands even, soft lighting over the entire portion of the car that is facing the camera. The ideal time to achieve this is on an overcast day. Or schedule the photo session when the sun is low on the horizon, at dawn or dusk.

During the middle of the day, the bright overhead sun creates two very undesirable problems in car photography: harsh glare and shadows. If you must photograph midafternoon, move the car into the shade.

When shooting during low light, try turning the headlights and dome light on to give the car a bit more character inside and out.

Look for an unconventional angle by setting the camera on the ground to shoot the flowing lines of a fender or over your head for a bird’s-eye view of a

convertible’s interior. Don’t be afraid to use a wideangle lens for a different perspective or a macro lens for a nice detail shot.

Often the best picture comes from experimenting with a new idea or technique.

If your camera allows the use of filters, add a polarizer to help reduce glare and reflections in the car. Avoid an unwanted reflection of yourself in the frame by moving a few inches — or a few feet.

If that isn’t enough, mount the camera on a small tripod and set the timer, then get out of area before the picture is taken.

You don’t have to own a classic car to practice your car photography. A great subject is likely sitting in your garage or driveway. These principles and techniques will work with just about any vehicle.

Bend police still on hunt for suspects in carjacking

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

By Megan Kehoe The state of Oregon is going to put a $1 million federal grant to work to study the way the state reviews insurance rates and spikes in health insurance.

The Department of Consumer and Business Services hopes the grant will help consumers better understand health insurance costs and identify reasons for health coverage increases.

“It’s a little hard to say when Oregonians will begin to see benefits from the funds,” said Cheryl Martinis, public information officer for the Oregon Insurance Division. “But our aim is to follow up and enhance certain things.”

The grant was provided as part of a nationwide program established under the new federal health reform law, and will help Oregon’s DCBS review insurance rates for individual and small employer health plans and portability of health plans.

According to Martinis, about half of the money will be spent on adding several new positions that would help analyze and scrutinize rate reviews, including a position for a health actuary and a market analyst. Money will also be spent on improving the DCBS website and providing more detailed information about insurance coverage costs, including a breakdown of medical costs and how they drive insurance premiums.

The Walkers were both thrown from the motorcycle in the collision.

Raymond Walker was declared dead at the scene, and Mary Walker was flown by AirLink to St. Charles Bend, where she was in serious condition Monday afternoon.

Ellingson suffered minor injuries in the accident. He was treated both at the scene and St. Charles Bend, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

I made this image of car show spectators reflected in a hubcap by lying on the ground and shooting from a slight angle. By using a wide-angle lens and small aperture, I was able to keep both the foreground and background in focus.

By setting the camera on the ground and shooting upward, I was able to enhance the 4x4 features of this 1957 Chevy 3100 pickup.

Keep your eye out for small details. I walked past this car several times at a car show in Arizona before noticing a small knitted coat on the hood ornament.

Equipment corner FOR BEGINNERS Turn your automatic flash off and shoot with available light to prevent hot spots, the splashes of light caused by the flash reflecting off the chrome and paint.

Experiment with your point-and-shoot camera’s metering settings to achieve the desired exposure.

FOR INTERMEDIATES Use a sturdy tripod when shooting in low-light situations to help keep your frame tack sharp. If your camera allows the use of filters, add a polarizer to help reduce reflections.

Here’s the lineup

Today Cars

Aug. 31 Going rustic

FOR ADVANCED Pick up a car magazine to get ideas on angles.

Look where the light is coming from, see how the car is parked, and take in details like reflections. Incorporate strobes or fill lights or redirect the available light to add your own style to the photograph. Try shooting a roll of your favorite slide or black-and-white film.

Bend police are still looking for two suspects they believe were involved in a carjacking on Friday night outside of a northeast Bend grocery store.

Officer Rob Emerson said on Monday that police had not received any specific tips but were out canvassing the area around Albertsons on Northeast Third Street, checking to see if any nearby businesses might have security cameras that captured the incident.

Police were called to the store at about 10:30 p.m. Friday, after the two suspects, riding on a motorcycle, allegedly pulled up to an SUV and demanded that the driver and passengers get out.

Driver apparently hit, pulled out of vehicle The motorcycle apparently pulled into the parking lot behind the SUV. One of the suspects then walked around the side of the vehicle and confronted the driver. In a short struggle, the driver was hit by the first suspect and pulled out of the vehicle and the second suspect pulled a passenger out of the car.

The first suspect, described as a white man with tattoos — including one across his chest that read “White Pride” and one on the inside of his forearm — drove away in the Jeep, with the second suspect following on the motorcycle.

The first suspect was wearing a tank top and a red motorcycle helmet.

Half-acre fire near Sisters contained An abandoned campfire spread into a half-acre fire Monday at noon about a mile west of the starting point for the Rooster Rock fire, according to a news release from the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center.

The fire was contained by 6:30 p.m. through the work of an air tanker, two helicopters and firefighters. Since July 31, the news release said firefighters have

dealt with about 20 abandoned campfires in the Deschutes National Forest.

Because of recent high temperatures and the low humidity, the abandoned fires could spread, according to the news release.

Adults are required by law to put out campfires, the release said, and can be fined up to $500 for leaving a campfire. If the fire does spread, adults are responsible for the costs of putting out the fires plus any damages, and are also responsible for fires started by their minor children.

According to the center, the best way to extinguish a campfire is to pour water over it, then mix the embers with a shovel. If the embers are too hot to touch, a person should not leave the site.

O Home-brewing Dem wants change The Associated Press EUGENE — A state lawmaker who brews his own beer says it’s time to change Oregon law to allow malty and frothy beverages to do a little traveling, and even compete again.

Democratic state Sen. Floyd Prozanski of Eugene told The Register-Guard he’s drafting legislation to permit do-it-yourself brewers to once again transport their hand-crafted products beyond their homes.

Earlier this summer, the state Department of Justice de-

termined that an 80-year-old, Prohibition-era law barred consumption of homemade alcoholic beverages outside the home.

Legal opinion stops state fair contest The new legal interpretation led the Oregon State Fair to suspend its 22-year-old home-brewed beer contest and created an uproar among beer enthusiasts, who have long shared their homemade specialty brews at home parties

and other informal events.

Prozanski said he’s been home-brewing since 1987 but no longer enters contests. Still, the interpretation of the law has affected the way he enjoys the hobby and what he produces.

“I have a brew partner, and if we make two batches, I’m going to have to tell my brewing partner, ‘Thanks, but I’m going to have to keep that here,’ ” Prozanski said.

Christie Scott, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, said her agency has looked into ways to work within

the confines of the law while allowing home-brewers to continue sharing their beers and ales.

None of the possible solutions have been practical, she said.

“The only real solution to getting this change is changing the statute, and that is exactly what we’re working with Sen. Prozanski on,” Scott said.

Prozanski said his proposal will spell out clearly what Oregonians can and cannot do with the beer, wine, hard cider and other homemade alcohol they produce.

LA GRANDE — A man armed with a shotgun was killed by a La Grande police officer responding to a call about an assault.

The Union County district attorney’s office identified the victim as 22-year-old Cody Wyatt Williams.

Prosecutors said a police officer entered a residence about 11 p.m. Friday while responding to a request for assistance and was immediately confronted by a man with a shotgun.

The officer was placed on administrative leave following police department policy pending an investigation.

LEWIS AND CLARK NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK

Mystery house comes with territory

Portland sued over death in crosswalk PORTLAND — The family of a 23-year-old woman killed at a busy Portland crosswalk has filed a $3.7 million lawsuit against the city, claiming negligence for a burnt-out streetlight and lack of crosswalk maintenance.

The lawsuit filed last week in Multnomah County Circuit Court by the family of Lindsay Alyse Leonard claims paint on the crosswalk had worn away, making it more difficult to see.

The suit also claims the city was aware of the problem at least a year before Leonard and a friend were struck after grocery shopping at a nearby store last November.

The Oregonian reported the family of the friend, 24year-old Jessica Finlay, who

Famed architect may have built on 106-acre expansion

By Katie Wilson Daily Astorian

WARRENTON — For just under $750,000 the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park is getting 106 acres of land and a mystery house.

The land is a long rectangular strip that roughly begins at the park-owned Sunset Beach/Fort to Sea Trail outside of Seaside and extends south to the Surf Pines gated community and runs parallel to state-owned shore and beach land. To the north, it bleeds into other protected lands — the park-owned trailhead, Camp Rilea and Fort Stevens State Park — creating miles of protected land.

The house is a whole other story.

John Yeon’s brother lived in home until ’04 The sprawling building features big open rooms, enough storage space and cabinets to satisfy the most obsessed kleptomaniac, and weird twists and nooks. It is thought to have been built by famed Oregon architect John Yeon. His brother, Norman Yeon, previously owned the land and lived in the house until his death in 2004.

Unfortunately, nobody knows of any records regarding the house. John Yeon was terrible at keeping records, so it could very well be a house he built, said Fort Clatsop Superintendent David Szymanski.

After the park takes full ownership of the land and develops a management plan, John Goodenberger, a historical building expert in Clatsop County, and Clatsop Community College historical restoration students plan to work on the house and determine whether it has John Yeon’s fingerprints on it.

“What we really wanted was a place — land — to do restoration work, really active restoration work,” Szymanski said. “The house was kind of a bonus.”

In the recipe for creating the perfect environment for conservation and land restoration work, miles of protected land is a key ingredient.

On the coast, especially the North Coast, with houses and developments clustered right along the shore, such a swath of land doesn’t crop up every day,

The Lewis and Clark National Historical Park will own this house once it acquires 106 acres of land.

Katie Wilson The Daily Astorian

said Neal Maine, conservation director for North Coast Land Conservancy, the organization that currently holds ownership of the land.

“Having land in fragments, — that’s the thing that brings the system down,” Maine said. “It’s arteries and veins. You have to have systems that are connected or conservation doesn’t work.”

With all the protected state and park land to the north, the park and the land conservancy group plan to work together on the Yeon property, comfortable in the knowledge that the effects of their work have room to spread outward.

Native species making a comeback The Yeon property encompasses a variety of landscapes, including what used to be coastal prairie and is now more forestlike because of the introduction of non-native pine, beach grass and Scotch Broom over the years. Still, the native plants have been making their own comeback, and the park and the Land Conservancy’s work will further that return.

Often, all it takes is time.

“These areas can really recover and thrive on their own,” said Land Conservancy Executive Director Katie Voelke.

Though the park will buy the physical land from the Land Conservancy, the conservancy will hold a conservation easement that Norman Yeon put over the land.

Yeon intended the land be conserved and hoped it could be used in a national or state park, Szymanski said. Having separate entities hold the different pieces creates a system of checks and balances, ensuring Yeon’s

intent remains in place, Maine and Voelke said.

The land had been left with the Trust for Public Lands, and the Oregon Parks Foundation held the easement. The Land Conservancy later bought the land from the trust after Fort Clatsop signed an agreement stating that the park would buy the land from the conservancy group.

Unlike the park, which requires approval by Congress to change its boundaries, a lengthy and time-consuming process, the Land Conservancy could purchase the land right away, Szymanski said.

The Trust for Public Lands, meanwhile, took over the easement and will hold it until the sale of the land is completed between the Land Conservancy and the park. When the park owns the land, the Land Conservancy will hold the easement.

Together the park, the Land Conservancy, other organizations and nearby property owners will achieve what they could not have achieved alone, Voelke said: open, conserved land and a wildlife corridor.

Couple fined $17,000 for erosion into river PORTLAND — State regulators have fined a couple in the coastal town of Harbor more than $17,000 for allowing road erosion and loose dirt stored on their property to send sediment into one of Oregon’s prime salmon rivers.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality said Monday the erosion on property owned by Robert and Doris Allsup occurred over a few months last winter.

Officials say it caused reduced oxygen levels that harmed fish and other aquatic life in the Chetco River and Joe Hall Creek.

The Allsups have until Sept. 1 to fix the problems. The agency said if they do, the $17,111 fine may be reduced.

The agency said nearly half the fine represents money the Allsups saved by not dealing with the erosion.

Trail network on property In addition to the house, the Yeon property includes a network of trails, some created by Yeon and another kept clear by the Surf Pines residents as a social trail.

Zach Bolitho, the park’s chief of resources, believes the park will keep the trails open to the residents, but the final decision will have to wait until the park sits down with the Land Conservancy to develop a management plan.

The park expects to take full ownership of the Yeon property by mid-August.

Oak Flat fire expected to keep growing

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

GRANTS PASS — A wildfire in southwestern Oregon quickly grew to nearly a square mile Monday and was expected to expand much more in remote, rugged gold-mining country.

The Oak Flat fire was burning in steep canyons and heavy timber on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest about 20 miles west of Grants Pass on the eastern edge of the giant 2002 Biscuit fire, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman Tom Lavagnino.

The fire was advancing up Briggs Creek, a tributary of the

Illinois River, forcing the evacuations of small-time gold miners working abundant claims in the area, he said.

Terrain hinders effort With few other wildfires burning around the country, the Oak Flat fire was the nation’s No. 1 fire, so resources have been readily available, he said.

More than 500 people were based at the Lake Selmac campground, fire camp for the Biscuit fire, which burned through nearly 785 square miles.

But the rugged terrain and

heavy timber made fighting the fire difficult, and it could easily burn though nearly 20 square miles before hitting fire lines being constructed primarily by hand crews, he added.

Heavy smoke, trapped by a persistent air inversion, grounded helicopters and air tankers until the afternoon.

The fire was spotted Friday. The cause was under investigation.

The Oak Flat area is sparsely settled, with some permanent and vacation homes, and is best known as the put-in for running a treacherous whitewater run on the Illinois River.

Judicial modesty on 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

O

n Friday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Forest Service project that allows commercial logging to occur in a small swath of spotted owl habitat. The response

from the environmental fringe was immediate and predictable.

“Oregonians expect public oldgrowth reserves to be protected for imperiled wildlife and recreational opportunities, not aggressively logged for profit,” fumed Josh Laughlin, campaign director for Cascadia Wildlands, one of the groups that had sued to stop the project.

Perpetuating the myth that the Forest Service wants nothing more than to serve up old-growth trees and spotted owls to the timber industry probably helps groups like Cascadia Wildlands raise money. But the project OK’d last week by a three-judge panel is intended to preserve both the forest and the animals that call it home. And those of us who lived here seven years ago, when the Davis Fire cooked thousands of acres of protected owl habitat, remember vividly what the project is intended to preserve them from.

The Five Buttes Project, as it’s known, covers about 160,000 acres and includes most of the 21,000 acres consumed by the Davis Fire. It also includes roughly 49,000 acres of oldgrowth forest protected under the Northwest Forest Plan for the benefit of spotted owls and other animals.

Areas afforded such protection normally cannot be logged. But the danger of fire has become so high, the Forest Service believes, that some thinning has to be done, even here.

Thus, the project includes roughly 600 acres of commercial logging within protected old-growth habitat, though, as Friday’s opinion notes, no logging will occur in areas actually occupied by owls.

The Forest Service and the environmental groups that oppose the project have the same goal, which is to preserve old-growth habitat. But while the environmental groups in this case prefer to cross their fingers and hope that firetrap forests don’t catch on fire, as in fact they have in recent years, the Forest Service has conducted years of analysis and concluded that it makes better sense to remove potential fuel. This is so, the Forest Service has concluded, even if the necessary treatments degrade the habitat temporarily.

In other words, federal land managers believe that commercial thinning in old-growth habitat is the least of various evils. But many environmental groups have no interest in such nuance. So the Forest Service, apparently in anticipation of the inevitable second-guessing, voluntarily shipped its analysis off to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The USFWS, notes the 9th Circuit, decided

Federal land managers believe that commercial thinning in old-growth habitat is the least of various evils. But many environmental groups have no interest in such nuance. that “the short-term loss of some spotted owl habitat was justified by the ‘long-term benefits to owl habitat across the landscape by reducing fuel loads. ...’ ” But a handful of environmental groups, undaunted, summoned their legal teams and won over federal District Judge Michael Hogan. That they failed to sway the supposedly activist 9th Circuit may strike some as strange. But the court’s deference to the Forest Service is entirely consistent with a 2008 opinion in which an 11-judge panel ruled unanimously that judges should hesitate to “substitute [our] judgment for that of the agency” under scrutiny. This “deference is highest,” notes Friday’s opinion, “when reviewing an agency’s technical analyses and judgments involving the evaluation of complex scientific data within the agency’s technical expertise.”

This notion that judges generally should defer to scientists on scientific matters seems obvious. And in this case, modesty wasn’t a problem for the two judges in the majority, Milan Smith (a George W. Bush appointee) and Richard Tallman (a Bill Clinton appointee).

Not so fellow Clinton appointee Richard Paez, however. Not only did Paez discount the scientific expertise of federal land managers, but he even went out of his way to insult both the Forest Service and his colleagues.

Quoting naturalist John Muir, Paez wrote of old-growth forests: “God has cared for these trees ... but he cannot save them from fools, — only Uncle Sam can do that.”

What Muir had to say back in 1897 has no legal significance whatsoever. But we suspect that he, like most people, preferred living wildlife to dead wildlife and old-growth forests to burned wastelands. And despite the hyperventilating of environmental groups like Cascadia Wildlands, you don’t have to witness many catastrophic fires to know that a forest can meet a far worse fate than carefully planned commercial thinning.

Vilsack has been misunderstood O DAVID ver the years, reporters learn that there is a relative handful of the public officials with whom we deal who can be counted on to expand our understanding of events. These are the men and women who have probed deeply into the forces shaping the country — or their part of it — and often anticipate the challenges still to come.

During the eight years he was governor of Iowa, Tom Vilsack came onto my radar as one of those rare individuals — a man who planted useful thoughts every time I interviewed him. So I was surprised when Vilsack was cast as the fall guy in the ugly incident last month involving the forced resignation of an African-American government employee who was accused by a blogger of reverse discrimination against a white farmer.

As you may remember, Shirley Sherrod, the Agriculture Department official, was shown by conservative activist Andrew Breitbart in a brief excerpt from a speech she had made in which she seemed to suggest she had held back on helping the white farmer.

When the full speech was released, it became clear she was telling the story to illustrate how she had overcome any racial feelings she might have harbored. And the farmer praised her for her exceptional help.

Vilsack, who had acted on the basis of partial and misleading information in firing her, called, offered his apologies and another job, which she has not

BRODER

yet accepted.

Talking with friends about him, I realized that they were oblivious to the context of the exceptional public official I had known — a man who was a perfectly plausible presidential aspirant in 2007 until he ran out of money. And I also realized that I had no idea what Vilsack had been up to in the 18 months since President Obama had appointed him secretary of agriculture.

An hour’s conversation last week demonstrated that he is as deeply engaged as ever — and working on a variety of fronts. His chief concern, as it was as governor, is the condition of rural America, which is facing challenges not so much because of the Great Recession but as a result of longterm trends. Ninety percent of the persistent-poverty counties are found in rural America, Vilsack says.

Those trends — an aging, less-educated and declining population with an average annual income $11,000 below that of their urban neighbors — are not because farmers are hurting. Indeed, farm income is up 9 percent over last year, and farm exports are nearly at record levels.

But most of those living in rural

America are not farmers. And so the formula for boosting those counties includes an emphasis on exploiting their energy resources, creating local food markets for local products, expanding broadband and promoting outdoor recreation.

One feature Vilsack brought from Iowa is his plan to set aside a small portion of the economic development funds to be channeled into eight or 10 counties that have done their own bottom-up planning and come up with a blueprint embracing all elements of the community. “We did it in Iowa,” Vilsack says, “so I know it works.”

That is the main game, but there are other projects as well, ranging from the improvement of the nutritional value of school lunches to the assistance he is providing to Afghanistan’s ministry of agriculture. Vilsack has 64 of his people working in that ministry, trying to convince Afghan farmers that, rather than growing poppies for the opium trade, there are more profits to be made in pomegranates and grapes.

Ironically, far from being insensitive to racial issues, as Breitbart implied, Vilsack has worked assiduously to clean up the remnants of the historic lawsuits filed against his department by blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, farmers and female employees. If the Senate ever clears the appropriation, that goal too may be part of his worthy legacy.

Why a mosque does not belong near ground zero A

place is made sacred by a widespread belief that it was visited by the miraculous or the transcendent (Lourdes, the Temple Mount), by the presence there once of great nobility and sacrifice (Gettysburg), or by the blood of martyrs and the indescribable suffering of the innocent (Auschwitz).

When we speak of ground zero as hallowed ground, what we mean is that it belongs to those who suffered and died there — and that such ownership obliges us, the living, to preserve the dignity and memory of the place, never allowing it to be forgotten, trivialized or misappropriated.

That’s why Disney’s early-’90s proposal to build an American history theme park near Manassas Battlefield was defeated by a broad coalition fearing vulgarization of the Civil War. (The coalition was wiser than I; at the time I obtusely saw little harm in the venture.)

It’s why the commercial viewing tower built right on the border of Gettysburg was taken down by the Park Service. It’s why while no one objects to Japanese cultural centers, the idea of putting one up at Pearl Harbor would be offensive.

And why Pope John Paul II ordered

Carmelite nuns to leave the convent they had established at Auschwitz. He was in no way devaluing their heartfelt mission to pray for the souls of the dead. He was teaching them a lesson in respect: This is not your place, it belongs to others. However pure your voice, better to let silence reign.

Even New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who denounced opponents of the proposed 15-story mosque and Islamic center near ground zero as tramplers on religious freedom, asked the mosque organizers “to show some special sensitivity to the situation.”

Yet, as columnist Rich Lowry pointedly noted, the government has no business telling churches how to conduct their business, shape their message, or show “special sensitivity” to anyone about anything. Bloomberg was thereby inadvertently conceding the claim of those he excoriates for opposing the mosque, namely, that ground zero is indeed unlike any other place and therefore unique criteria govern what can be done there.

Bloomberg’s implication is clear: If the proposed mosque were controlled by “insensitive” Islamist radicals either

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER excusing or celebrating 9/11, he would not support its construction.

But then, why not? By the mayor’s own expansive view of religious freedom, by what right do we dictate the message of any mosque? Moreover, as a practical matter, there’s no guarantee this couldn’t happen in the future. Religious institutions in this country are autonomous. Who is to say the mosque won’t one day hire an Anwar al-Aulaqi — spiritual mentor to the Fort Hood shooter and the Christmas Day bomber, and onetime imam at the Virginia mosque attended by two of the 9/11 terrorists?

An Aulaqi preaching in Virginia is a security problem. An Aulaqi preaching at ground zero is a sacrilege.

Location matters. Especially this location. Ground zero is the site of the greatest mass murder in American history —

perpetrated by Muslims of a particular Islamist orthodoxy in whose cause they died and in whose name they killed.

Of course, that strain represents only a minority of Muslims. Islam is no more intrinsically Islamist than present-day Germany is Nazi — yet despite contemporary Germany’s innocence, no German of good will would even think of proposing a German cultural center at, say, Treblinka.

Which makes you wonder about the good will behind Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s proposal. This is a man who has called U.S. policy “an accessory to the crime” of 9/11 and, when recently asked whether Hamas is a terrorist organization, replied, “I’m not a politician. ... The issue of terrorism is a very complex question.”

America is a free country where you can build whatever you want — but not anywhere. That’s why we have zoning laws. No liquor store near a school, no strip malls where they offend local sensibilities, and, if your house doesn’t meet community architectural codes, you cannot build at all.

These restrictions are for reasons of aesthetics. Others are for more pro-

Islam is no more intrinsically Islamist than present-day Germany is Nazi — yet despite contemporary Germany’s innocence, no German of good will would even think of proposing a German cultural center at, say, Treblinka. found reasons of common decency and respect for the sacred. No commercial tower over Gettysburg, no convent at Auschwitz — and no mosque at ground zero.

Build it anywhere but there.

The governor of New York offered to help find land to build the mosque elsewhere. A mosque really seeking to build bridges, Rauf’s ostensible hope for the structure, would accept the offer.

Richard Wendt, founder of window maker, dead at 79 The Associated Press GRANTS PASS — Richard “Dick” Wendt, a founder of the international door and window manufacturer Jeld-Wen Inc. and a contributor to conservative political causes in Oregon, has died. He was 79.

A company spokeswoman said Monday that Wendt died Saturday at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, where he had gone for observation following a stroke in Klamath Falls.

Born in Dubuque, Iowa, Wendt moved to Klamath Falls in 1957 to manage a window parts mill.

When the company shut down the mill, he joined a group that bought the equipment and founded Jeld-Wen in 1960.

The company grew from 15 employees to 20,000, with operations in 20 countries, to become one of the biggest privately held firms in Oregon.

As the company grew, Wendt continued to live in an unpretentious ranch house on a hillside overlooking Klamath Falls.

Forbes magazine estimated that Wendt had a personal fortune of more than $700 million.

Wendt was known for pushing welfare recipients to work, supporting privatization of Social Security, and giving generously to support medicine, performing arts, and American Indian culture.

Politically, he was a major contributor to property tax reform and the 1998 gubernatorial campaign of Bill Sizemore as well as a foundation that supported Sizemore’s political activities, and the 2002 gubernatorial cam-

Continued from C1 The victims were not able to describe the second suspect or the motorcycle, except that it was “sports-style.”

Emerson said officials do not believe there were weapons involved in the incident, and do not believe it was a hate crime, despite the description of the first suspect.

Continued from C1 “Right now the website has a lot of good information,” said Martinis. “But it’s hard to get to. We hope to make it easier for people to use.”

Money from the grant will also be spent on forming a consumer group that would provide public feedback about rate requests. According to Martinis, the consumer group is still in its early stages, though the department hopes to organize it quickly.

“It’s unrealistic to think that health insurance costs will go down substantially without getting a grip on medical costs,” said Martinis. “But maybe the funds will help spawn more efforts that will eventually make insurance more affordable.”

Continued from C1 In 2009, the Madras City Council voted to build the new City Hall and police station on the area commonly known as Friendship Park.

The issue grew to divide the community. One side wanted to preserve the sports fields in the park, pointing out how popular they are for soccer. Opponents also argued that it was the only large green space for children on the west side of town.

On the other side of the issue, city officials and some residents said the police station was inadequate and was no longer serving the needs of the community.

The city said there were plenty of green spaces for soccer, and they said more parks would be built in the future. Last spring, voters were asked whether to amend the city’s charter to prevent a new City Hall and police station. Voters chose not to change the charter and move forward with the development.

“The campaigns were spirited, and with what I thought a high

Leader of Greek coups dies at 87 New York Times News Service Dimitrios Ioannidis, a Greek military officer who twice helped plot successful coups in his own country, and once in Cyprus, prompting the 1974 invasion of that island nation by Turkey, died in Athens on Monday. He was 87.

News of his death came from European media reports that said he died in a hospital after experiencing breathing problems in his prison cell.

He was serving a life sentence for treason.

Walker owned several businesses in Nocona, a city of about 3,500 people that sits about 100 miles north of Dallas and just south of the Red River. Despite his success, Walker dressed modestly, often walking through town wearing coveralls.

Carjacking

Conservative voice James Kilpatrick dead at 89 New York Times News Service

Dick Wendt, founder of Klamath Falls-based door and window manufacturing company Jeld-Wen Inc., died Saturday at age 79 in Klamath Falls.

The Associated Press file photo

paign of conservative activist Kevin Mannix.

“I am deeply distressed at news of his death,” said Mannix, a former chairman of the Oregon Republican Party. “As he achieved success in business, he expanded his vision so as to work for the greater good as he saw it.”

Mannix credited Wendt with helping shape welfare reform in Oregon.

In 2002, Wendt offered $75 million to the Oregon Institute of

Technology in Klamath Falls to go private, but the college decided it wasn’t enough money to make up for state funding.

Wendt and his wife Nancy gave $32 million to the University of Dubuque in Iowa in 2004 to develop a unique program focusing on the ethics and character of students, faculty and staff.

In addition to his wife, Wendt is survived by a son Rod, president and CEO of Jeld-Wen, and a son Mark, all of Klamath Falls.

said Tracy Mesler, the publisher of the Nocona News. “They never forgot their roots.”

Mesler said the couple had been in the Bend area on a trip with other friends from Nocona. The couples typically drove RVs to an area, towing their motorcycles.

The Walkers loved to travel, he said, and Raymond Walker was a pilot, with several aircraft, including a helicopter and a biplane.

“They’d just pick another part

of the country and go,” Mesler said.

Over the years, Walker owned several businesses, including an appliance store, a repair shop and, most recently, Ray’s Used Equipment, which sells heavy machinery such as bulldozers and graders, according to Mesler.

“He told me one time, teasingly, that his goal was to own every bulldozer in the state of Texas at least once,” Mesler said. “The way he was selling them, he was getting close.”

The news of the couple’s accident reached Nocona late Sunday, Mesler said, and has

motivation, but we don’t have any information that it was,” he said. “But I don’t know that we’re ruling it out.”

Police said the victims are three Bend residents, ages 22, 17 and 18, but have not released any additional information.

It’s not clear if the victims were familiar with the suspects.

The SUV, a silver 2009 Jeep Patriot, was spotted by officers on Saturday evening parked near the intersection of Northeast Studio Road and Northeast Webster Avenue, not far from

Albertsons. No one was in the Jeep.

Emerson said carjackings are unusual in Bend.

In February 2008, a 26-yearold Bend man threatened a woman holding an 8-month-old baby with a knife in the Costco parking lot, demanded her car keys, and then took off in her Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The man, Kevin Allan Couch, was later convicted by a jury and sentenced to 7½ years in prison.

“Bend is still small enough where people often times will

degree of respect for each other, which is typical in a small community,” Morgan said. “We all tend to argue our cases patiently. In the end, we’re all one community.”

Morgan said he’s requesting an approximate $4.2 million loan from the federal government for the approximately $6.3 million project, paying that back at about 4 percent interest or less over 40 years. The city also has another $1 million saved from grants for the project. The Rural Development Administration could fund as much as 40 percent of the cost to build the police station. The rest of the money the city would get from a bond.

The city currently charges itself rent for the City Hall and police building, and that money will go to pay back the bond. The public will not see any change in the services they receive, or increased fees or taxes, according to city officials.

The new building is expected to be about 20,000 square feet, two stories and have a plaza for Saturday markets. It would house the Police Department and other offices.

In 2007, the City Council re-

ceived about 5 acres west of U.S. Highway 97 after a land deal with the Jefferson County School District. This is the land the city plans to use for the new development.

Steve Fisher, a local teacher, and the Jefferson County youth soccer director, who fought to prevent the city from moving ahead on the project, said he’s still holding out hope that some of the soccer fields can be saved.

“If it’s going to be built, I hope that half that area is still reserved as park space,” he said.

On trip with friends from Nocona

James J. Kilpatrick, a prominent conservative voice for half a century as a newspaper editor and columnist, author and television personality, died Sunday in Washington.

He was 89.

The cause was congestive heart failure, said his wife, Marianne Means.

Kilpatrick was a prolific writer and a sharp debater, perhaps best remembered for his intellectual combat with liberal journalist Shana Alexander on “60 Minutes.” When he was not tackling national issues, he took aim at flabby prose and bureaucratic absurdities.

In the mid-1950s, Kilpatrick became something of a national figure, articulating constitutional arguments justifying the policy of “massive resistance” to the Supreme Court’s decision outlawing school segregation. But as the South changed, so did Kilpatrick, who dropped his fervent defense of segregation a decade later. Writing in Nation’s Business magazine in 1978, Kilpatrick defined his ideological stance.

“Conservatives believe that a civilized society demands orders and classes, that men are not inherently equal, that change and reform are not identical, that in a free society men are children of God and not wards of the state,” he wrote.

since worked through the town’s grapevine. Mesler, for example, found out about Walker’s death while the he was at the scene of an auto accident.

The Walker’s crash will likely be front-page news for his weekly paper, Mesler said.

“This is one of those sad ones. I don’t know anybody in town who didn’t like him,” Mesler, who has been at the paper for about 30 years, said.

“This was one of the original nice guys.”

leave their keys in their cars,” Emerson said. “So usually people can go steal a car without too much difficulty. It’s really rare when you see a carjacking like this.”

Police are asking anyone who sees the suspects to stay away from them and call 911.

People with information about the carjacking should contact the Bend Police Department at 541-693-6911.

Erin Golden can be reached at 541-617-7837 or at egolden@bendbulletin.com.

City officials said during the campaign the new building would leave space for soccer, basketball and track. Morgan also said a new fishing pond and park are being worked on at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds property.

“I would hope they put in some permanent soccer goals and dedicate it as a park for the people,” Fisher said.

Golfers arrive in Central Oregon for what is likely the final Tradition here

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

SUNRIVER — Golfers in the field of the 2010 Jeld-Wen Tradition made their way sporadically Monday onto the grounds of Crosswater Club.

Sunriver Resort’s flagship golf course was closed to the general public, making for a quiet day before things get a bit more chaotic when play in The Tradition begins Thursday.

But it was the kind of day that has made Central Oregon a recreation mecca — and a popular spot for many of the Champions Tour professionals since The Tradition moved from the

Portland area to Sunriver in 2007.

Temperatures reached into the 90s, but the lack of humidity was welcomed by the players on pro golf’s 50-and-older circuit, who spend much of their summers traveling the country.

As is common before a tournament gets under way, a handful of the players gathered and socialized Monday on the Crosswater driving range in a loose atmosphere that will tighten when the $2.6 million major championship gets under way.

“This feels like the air conditioning is on out here,” said 57-year-old Andy Bean, an 11-time PGA Tour winner who has played in all three Tradition tournaments previously staged in Central Oregon, of the relatively mild weather here compared with his Florida home.

This year will likely mark the last time the Champions Tour golfers make the trek to Sunriver to play a major championship.

he road- and mountainbike racing seasons, which began back in February, are winding down in Oregon for 2010, and that means culminating championships are taking place throughout the state. These season-ending races, in which local riders have been producing standout results, will soon give way to the coolerweather cyclocross season.

Central Oregon is getting a jump-start on the forthcoming cyclocross season, with clinics and weeknight races on tap in late summer and early fall — events that are sure to whet the appetites of veteran ’cross riders and ’cross newcomers alike.

Over the past weekend, three Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) championship races were held across the state in three different disciplines: short-track mountain biking, cross-country mountain biking, and road hill climbing.

Four Central Oregon riders brought home OBRA championship medals in Sunday’s Hillclimb Time Trial, which covered a route that ascended 2,000 feet over 5.6 miles from

Government Camp to Mount Hood’s Timberline Lodge. Eric Martin clocked in at 27 minutes and 35 seconds to claim the OBRA hill climb title among men ages 40 to 44. Dan Packman won among men ages 45 to 49 (29:27), and Andy Su took top honors in the junior men’s 15-to-16 division (29:33). In the women’s 40-to-44 field, Kerry Martin posted the fastest time, finishing in 33:28.

In the cross-country mountain bike championships, which also took place on Sunday, Central Oregon riders Jodi Line-Bailey (women ages 40 to 49) and Kendal Johnson (junior men ages 17 to 18) prevailed in their respective age categories.

The race took place at Alsea Falls, located about 30 miles northwest of Eugene.

A day earlier, two Central Oregon riders claimed OBRA short-track mountain bike titles at the championship held in Sherwood: Ben Thompson topped the pro men’s field, while Shane Johnson rode to victory in the Category 1 men’s race.

One might think it was a challenge for a tennis coach to admit that one of his longtime players is better than the coach himself. But Jason Quigley, a 14-year tennis professional at the Athletic Club of Bend, boasts easily about junior tennis standout Paxton Deuel.

“He can beat anybody in the town of Bend,” Quigley insists, referring to the 16-year-old Deuel. “There are 85,000 people in this town, and he can beat every single one. You look around and there are only a few people who could beat him on a given day — but not many.”

Quigley names one other tennis player from Bend who the veteran coach concedes is consistently better than Deuel.

“John Davis — he used to be one of the top 200 tennis players in the world,” Quigley affirms.

“And Paxton can hang with him.”

As all of the tennis pros and coaches who have

COMMUNITY SPORTS worked with Deuel will say, “He has focus.”

“He’s a very focused kid who … he’s fun and he has a good time,” says Josh Cordell, Deuel’s tennis coach at Summit High School. “He’s definitely focused and goal oriented, and that determination carries through the day with him.

He’s determined to accomplish what he wants to do. … The sky’s the limit for him and for his tennis.”

Next month, Deuel (pronounced duel) will begin his junior year at Summit. In his freshman year, he and fellow Summit freshman Adam Krull won the Class 5A state championship in boys doubles.

S B Gymnastics • U.S. gymnastics still unhappy about age rules: Even after resolving a long-simmering dispute about an under-16 gymnast that put another Olympic medal in their column, leaders of the American program remain dissatisfied with the way the sport’s international body handles a number of age-related issues. During a series of interviews last week at U.S. nationals, leaders voiced concern about three issues: The handling of the Youth Olympics; A new rule that makes it more difficult for female gymnasts who are turning 16 in the Olympic year to get international experience beforehand; The 16-year-old age limit itself. “I’d like the FIG (International Gymnastics Federation) to look at the preparation of the child and let the country decide who is best to compete,” women’s national coordinator Martha Karolyi said. Karolyi and her husband, Bela, have long believed in scrapping age limits for senior events, saying that, among other things, they create an uneven playing field between countries that adhere to the rules and those that try to skirt them.

Baseball • New Rangers owners make first front-office hire: The Texas Rangers’ new ownership group has made its first front-office hire. The Rangers on Monday announced the appointment of Jay Miller to senior vice president, effective Aug. 30. Miller will be involved in the team’s business operations, including ticket and sponsorship sales and fan experience. Miller previously worked for the Rangers from 1983-95. He spent the past 12 years with the Round Rock Express, from its inception as a Double-A team to a TripleA franchise with Nolan Ryan as a primary owner.

Football • 49ers trade Balmer to Seahawks: Defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer was traded to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday after a mysterious absence from the San Francisco 49ers over the past week. The Seahawks will send an undisclosed 2011 draft pick to the Niners. Balmer left the 49ers last Monday for what coach Mike Singletary called personal reasons. Balmer, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2008 out of North Carolina, missed his fifth straight practice Friday before the team traveled to Indianapolis for its exhibition opener against the Colts.

• Former Bills LB Aaron Schobel retiring: Former Buffalo Bills linebacker Aaron Schobel is retiring, saying he lost his hunger for playing last year. The Bills released Schobel on Aug. 4 after nine seasons. Schobel was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and his 78 career sacks rank second in Buffalo history behind Hall of Famer Bruce Smith. Schobel mulled his options for two weeks, and his decision to retire on Monday was first reported by FoxSportsHouston. com. He said in a phone interview with The Associated Press that he had been leaning toward retirement since the end of last season.

• Pacific opens camp after 19-year absence: The Pacific Boxers have returned to the field after a 19-year absence. Some 130 players turned out Sunday night at Lincoln Park Stadium for the opening of fall camp. The non-contact practice included position and agility drills.

Head coach Keith Buckley says he is encouraged that many players came into camp in shape — meaning the Boxers can focus on football. Pacific last fielded a football team in 1991. School officials decided last year to revive the program as a way to increase enrollment.

• Arkansas broadcaster wears Gators hat, loses job: An Arkansas radio personality announced that she was fired Monday, two days after wearing a Florida Gators hat to an Arkansas Hogs news conference. Renee Gork announced on Twitter that she had been fired by KAKS, a northwest Arkansas radio station that calls itself Hog Sports Radio.

Gork had worn a Gator hat Saturday to a news conference with Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino. Gork, a Florida graduate, said she grabbed the hat without thinking Saturday because it was raining outside. She also said she sent a letter of apology to the university and Petrino.

Figure skating • Ex-skate champ Bobek gets probation on meth count: Former U.S. figure skating champion Nicole Bobek was ordered to spend five years on probation for her role in a New Jersey methamphetamine ring, a sentence that she said would give her a chance to get her life back on track.

The 32-year-old pleaded guilty in June to a charge of conspiring to distribute crystal meth. She was among 28 people accused last year of running a network that allegedly distributed $10,000 worth of methamphetamine per week.

PREP FOOTBALL

Holy month, hot days mean football nights in Michigan

By Jeff Karoub The Asso cia ted Press

DEARBORN, Mich. — Illuminated by the night lights on the football field, Adnan Restum joined a scrum of teammates at the end-zone water fountain, taking a break from a grueling preseason football workout to guzzle a drink.

In just a few hours, he wouldn’t be able to take a sip. But the 17year-old defensive tackle could rehydrate guilt-free during the 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. practice, and succumb to tempting boxes full of granola bars and chocolate milk, too.

The moonlight practice is tailored for Restum and fellow Muslim teammates who make up a majority of the Fordson High School squad in the large Arab community of Dearborn. It’s a way for the players to practice football and their faith, and balance the fasting common during the 30-day holy month of Ramadan that started last week.

“It feels really great,” said Restum, who has been fasting since he was about 10. “If we’re doing it during the day, we wouldn’t have water and it would be really hot and everything.”

Fordson High’s head coach Fouad Zaban proposed reversing the clock and moving practice to nighttime after realizing the rotating Ramadan would fall squarely during the start of a two-a-day practice schedule that launches football season.

Cutting practice wasn’t an option at football-crazy Fordson, which has won four state titles and three runner-up seasons since it was established in 1928, and is coming off a one-loss season. But no one wanted to lessen the significance of Ramadan at the school in

Paul Sancya / The Associated Press

A Fordson High School football player drinks water during football practice just before 1 a.m., in Dearborn, Mich., last week. For Muslim teammates who make up a majority of the Fordson squad in the large Arab community it’s a way for the players to practice football and their faith — namely, the daytime fasting ritual that accompanies the 30-day holy month of Ramadan that started last week. the Detroit suburb widely known as the capital of Arab-America.

Zaban, 40, a Muslim and former Fordson player, knows the high stakes. When Ramadan falls during football season, the players practice during daylight hours. But with August’s heat and doubled practice schedule, concerns grew about players’ health, particularly the high risk of heat stroke.

“We know how hot it’s been this summer — it’s not safe,” Zaban said.

Working it out meant getting the approval of school and district administrators and the blessings of

players, parents and police. Then, there were the residents in the surrounding neighborhood, who would hear more noise and see the illuminated field. So he sent letters explaining the decision.

Zaban is unaware of such schedule switches elsewhere, though other teams at the school and in the district have moved practices earlier or later in the day. It’s been more than three decades since Ramadan last fell during football preseason and Fordson’s Muslim population was far smaller then — and, he notes, there were no field lights.

Zaban said the goal has been to let players break the fast at sundown and go to the mosque, and get players out in time for a meal and morning prayer before sunrise. The field is near bustling bakeries, cafes and restaurants catering to late-night customers.

But first, there are drills.

“Keep running! Heads up!” Zaban yelled while leading a passing drill. And, when a receiver flubbed a one-handed catch, the coach barked, “Hey, two hands!” The result was 20 push-ups.

Zaban said whether players fast is a personal choice and never an issue raised by him or his staff.

Still, he says, it shouldn’t be an excuse for poor performance for the roughly 95 percent who do.

He ended the session before 4 a.m. with a message to the huddled, padded masses to “drink lots of water,” “get a good meal in,” and “man up.”

Defensive tackle William Powell, one of the team’s few non-Muslims, initially thought the coach was “out of his mind,” but he’s come around.

In fact, he’s even fasted.

“I’m around ’em, so I’ve tried a couple times but it’s hard,” the 17year-old said.

For Rami Fakih, a wide receiver and defensive back, the nocturnal regimen has taken some adjustment but for different reasons.

The brother of recently crowned Miss USA Rima Fakih said he had to think twice before hitting the fountain.

“Oh yeah,” he said. “Then I remembered, you know. I looked up.

There’s no sun. I can drink. I can eat.”

With that, he walked off the field and into the darkness with plans to grab a quick bite with friends at a local bakery.

Thome has been productive and powerful for Twins

By Dave Campbell The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Jim Thome has given the Minnesota Twins the kind of productivity that many employers can only wish for from their workforce.

Sure, Thome is making $1.5 million this season, a sum most people will never see. Relative to Major League Baseball’s rich marketplace, though, Thome’s 16 home runs in 204 at-bats has been quite the bargain.

Even better for the Twins is that Thome, who turns 40 later this month, turned down the opportunity to return to Chicago when the White Sox decided they wanted more flexibility with their lineup — mainly the chance to use several different designated hitters.

The Twins lead the White Sox by three games in the AL Central standings, entering a critical three-game series at Target Field that starts tonight.

“I can’t react to what they did or didn’t do. The bottom line is I’m happy to be here. I’m glad the Minnesota Twins called me, and

they wanted me,” Thome said on Sunday, after his three-run homer and Kevin Slowey’s seven no-hit innings fueled the completion of a three-game sweep over the Oakland Athletics.

With his down-home, gentlegiant demeanor, Thome is one of the least likely players to ever criticize or taunt a former team.

When asked if facing the White Sox this season has been strange, however, his face lit up.

“It’s been fun. I’ve had a blast,” Thome said. “I have a lot of friends there, but you want to beat your friends. That’s what it’s all about. ... They have a very good team, and we take nothing for granted.

I think if you control your own business, hopefully in the end you’ll be where you want to be.”

With the addition of speedster Juan Pierre, the White Sox have become more of a small-ballstyle team. They’ve been looking for left-handed power, though, since trading Thome to the Los Angeles Dodgers for the pennant drive last season. In less than four full years with the White Sox, Thome hit 134 homers.

Charles Rex Arbogast / The Associated Press

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Jim Thome, left, and catcher Joe Mauer celebrate their win over the Chicago White Sox last week.

“We didn’t release Jim. We just don’t have him back,” White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said this winter. “He’s a friend. He’s a

respect player. That’s the way we feel about him. It’s not easy.”

The Twins, who have won seven straight at home and 19 of

their last 24 games overall, have resisted temptation to use Thome more often. First baseman Justin Morneau’s absence has created more opportunities, but manager Ron Gardenhire must heed Thome’s history with back problems or risk a reinjury.

“If you overuse him you’re going to probably lose him a little bit,” Gardenhire said. “He’s in great shape and he’s feeling great, and we’re trying to keep it that way.”

Thome is usually one of the earliest arrivals at the ballpark, when he starts an extensive routine to keep his back loose and limber and his swing sharp and strong.

“I don’t want to jinx myself, but I feel good,” Thome said. “I think Gardy’s done a good job of mixing me in there. With that being said, I want to play every day but I also understand my role right now.”

Expressing humility when he passed former Twins slugger Harmon Killebrew on the all-time home run list earlier this season, Thome has stayed true to advertised form as one of the sport’s most unassuming

stars. When Thome hit No. 574 last month at Target Field, Killebrew’s taped congratulatory message to Thome was played on the scoreboard.

“That’s something that will go down in my book as one of the better moments of my career,” Thome said then.

He’s now at 580.

How about 600? Or more?

“I don’t want to think about it all the time,” Thome said. “I want to play the game and just let the game play itself out and try to win. Ultimately I think that’s why we’re all here.”

He’s made an impact in the clubhouse, as well as at the plate.

“It’s great for the younger players in here to learn professionalism,” teammate Michael Cuddyer said, “because if anybody in this game has room to be cocky and full of himself and arrogant with 580 home runs, it’s him. He’s the exact opposite of that. It’s almost like having a Harmon Killebrew in the lineup. He doesn’t demand it, but when he walks in he automatically demands and commands respect.”

GOLF: TRADITION NOTEBOOK

PGA Championship penalty on the minds of Tradition golfers

By Zack Hall The Bulletin

Peter Morgan / The Associated Press

Fans gather at New Meadowlands Stadium before a preseason NFL football game between the New York Jets and the New York Giants in East Rutherford, N.J., Monday. This marked the opening for the $1.6 billion stadium.

Giants beat Jets as teams break in their new stadium

By Dennis Waszak Jr. The Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Mark Sanchez was sharp, while Eli Manning needed stitches.

Manning was forced to leave the New York Giants’ 31-16 victory over the Jets after suffering a bloody, 3-inch gash to the left side of his head early in the second quarter Monday night.

The Giants quarterback needed 12 stitches to close the cut, and showed no sign of concussion after being hurt with 10:45 left in the first half.

Sanchez led the Jets on three scoring drives, overcoming an interception on his first pass, while playing the entire first half in the first football game played at the New Meadowlands Stadium.

The teams traditionally meet in the third game of the preseason, but both wanted to be part of the unveiling of their new $1.6 billion, 82,500-seat home.

The big night ended early for Manning, who was hurt when running back Brandon Jacobs rumbled up the middle and smacked into him with his shoulder on a fake handoff.

After losing the ball, Manning tried to grab it, but was smacked in the middle of his back by Cal-

vin Pace. Manning’s helmet was knocked off, pushing him forward, face-first. Manning’s head plowed into either Jets safety Jim Leonhard or Jacobs, and the quarterback quickly called for the training staff, his hand covered in blood.

Manning was replaced by Jim Sorgi, who backed up Eli’s brother, Peyton, in Indianapolis for the last few seasons. Sorgi filled in nicely, throwing two touchdown passes to rookie Victor Cruz, who finished with three TD catches.

This was a Jets’ home game, with the stadium’s exterior lit up in green, and the interior filled with the team’s logos and colors. The Jets also inducted the first six members of their ring of honor, including Joe Namath, who led the franchise to its only Super Bowl in 1969.

The kinks were still being worked out in the stadium as a fire alarm went off in the first quarter that knocked out the public address system until the second quarter.

The Giants host the first regular-season football game against the Carolina Panthers on Sept.

12. The Jets will host their first game the following night, again in front of a national Monday

Night Football audience, against the Baltimore Ravens.

After a week of trash talk leading into this game, the Giants — at least with their backups — showed they were the superior team on this night.

Sanchez showed no signs of being tentative in his first game since having the patella-stabilizing ligament in his left knee repaired in February. He was 13 for 17 for 119 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown pass to Brad Smith in the first quarter that tied it at 7.

The newest Jets also made their debuts with LaDainian Tomlinson, Santonio Holmes, Antonio Cromartie, Jason Taylor and Brodney Pool all seeing action.

Tomlinson, who played sparingly in the preseason in his nine seasons in San Diego, had 17 yards on eight carries.

The Giants took an early lead by capitalizing on a mistake by Sanchez. On the Jets’ second play from scrimmage, Sanchez threw into double coverage to Tomlinson, who had the ball tip off his hands and right to Antrel Rolle. The Giants safety, acquired from Arizona in the offseason, returned it 59 yards before being tackled at the 1 by Dustin Keller.

There will be no change in Steelers’ quarterback rotation

By Alan Robinson The Associated Press

LATROBE, Pa. — Dennis Dixon is off to a running start as he tries to overtake Byron Leftwich and become the Steelers’ starting quarterback during Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension.

That’s the problem, too.

The Steelers don’t want the mobile Dixon abandoning the pocket and running while he has open receivers downfield. Not in exhibition games, not in practices and especially not when the games count.

“If he’s your starter, you’re not going to expose him to running the football, because they’re going to break him up,” offensive coordinator Bruce Arians said earlier in camp. “That stuff, you can forget about that if he’s the starter. He wouldn’t last two ballgames.”

So while Dixon’s statistics were better than Leftwich’s during the Steelers’ 23-7 exhibition victory over Detroit on Saturday, the quarterback rotation remained unchanged during practice Monday.

Roethlisberger, who will play Saturday at the Giants after being held out against Detroit, ran with the starters. Leftwich followed him. Dixon came after that, running a package of plays designed to emphasize his quickness and versatility. But not running too much.

“And it’s not necessarily with the twos (second unit) or the threes (third unit), it’s a special package,” Arians said Monday.

“When you play without Ben, you’re going to utilize all the players you have. He’ll have a package, and how he plays within that package will determine how much he plays.”

Nothing during practice suggested coach Mike Tomlin is altering his plan to begin the

Keith Srakocic / The Associated Press

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dennis Dixon scrambles for a first down in the third quarter of Saturday’s game against Detroit. The former Oregon QB threw for 128 yards and a touchdown in the game. season with the far-more-experienced Leftwich at quarterback rather than Dixon, who has started only one NFL game.

Roethlisberger was suspended for six games, but the Steelers anticipate the penalty being cut to four.

Leftwich was six of 10 for 43 yards, was sacked once and was hit multiple times against Detroit’s starters. Dixon was six of seven for 128 yards, a touchdown and two long completions against Lions backups, but he ran the ball six times — only one time fewer than he threw it.

“He (Dixon) was productive, but half of that production came in the fourth quarter,” Tomlin said. “So we’re not going to get carried away.”

Wide receiver Hines Ward likes Dixon’s multidimensional skills and how they will force defenses to prepare not only for the left-handed Leftwich’s throws

from the pocket during Roethlisberger’s absence, but for the right-handed Dixon to take off if he can’t locate a receiver.

“We have a healthy competition at quarterback. And competition brings out the best in everyone,” Ward said. “Dennis, he brings an added dimension to the game than Byron doesn’t.

Byron’s a pure pocket guy. Dennis, the one knock on him is he doesn’t have the experience. The two are different but it’s hard to compare two guys when their games are so different.”

During practice, Dixon appeared to have gotten the message that running too much can be worse than running too little. Even if Roethlisberger’s message to him appears to contradict that of his offensive coordinator.

“I always tell him to run,” Roethlisberger said. “If your guy’s not there pull it in and take off.

He’s got something that the rest of the quarterbacks in the room don’t have because he can take off running and score on plays that most people wouldn’t get out of the pocket on.”

There was one change during practice — first-round draft pick Maurkice Pouncey ran with the starters at center. The Steelers drafted him as a center, but planned to use him at right guard initially because it can be difficult for a rookie to deliver all the line blocking calls.

Apparently, that’s no longer a worry. If Pouncey starts at center, he would bump Justin Hartwig, who is in the final year of his contract.

“We’ll nail down a job for him (Pouncey) at some point,” Tomlin said. “But to this juncture, he’s been very impressive with how he’s handled the responsibilities of playing both, and really playing both very well.”

SUNRIVER — Golfer Dustin Johnson’s gaffe Sunday in the final round of the 2010 PGA Championship has been the topic of much conversation in the sports world.

The tour pros at Crosswater Club Monday for the Jeld-Wen Tradition were sharing in that conversation.

Johnson’s wayward tee shot on the 72nd hole at Whistling Straits landed in what appeared to be on a flattened piece of sand that had been worn down by the crowd attending the PGA Tour’s final major championship of 2010. As part of Johnson’s preshot routine on his next shot, he grounded his 4-iron in the sand.

As it turned out, that piece of sand was actually a bunker, and Johnson was informed that he had incurred a two-shot penalty for grounding his club in a hazard. That controversial penalty cost Johnson a place in a three-hole playoff with Bubba Watson and eventual champion Martin Kaymer.

So what do Johnson’s fellow professionals think of the incident?

“I thought it was awful,” said Mike Goodes, about the circumstances that led to the penalty. “I felt so sorry for him I didn’t even want to watch the playoff.”

Fred Funk, who played at Whistling Straits at the 2004 PGA Championship, said he didn’t watch the finish either.

“It just looked like hard-pan sand,” said Funk of Johnson’s lie for the controversial shot.

“On that golf course, everybody is standing in bunkers or there is nowhere to stand. It was very unfortunate. It took the air out of a great finish, I thought. I didn’t even watch the playoff because I was so disappointed in what happened.”

Goodes played in the 2007 U.S. Senior Open at Whistling Straits, which is famous — or now, infamous — for its more than 1,000 bunkers.

Coincidentally, Goodes recalled that he also took a twostroke penalty at Whistling Straits in the second round of the U.S. Senior Open when his caddie raked the bunker of his playing partner while Goodes was hitting out of another bunker.

“There were a couple of issues about bunkers there,” Goodes said. “You’ve got 1,200 or however many thousands of bunkers there, it allows this (to happen).”

Goodes and Funk agreed that the penalty needed to be assessed. They also agreed that Johnson’s error could have been prevented.

“The problem with it that I saw was that each group has a PGA (rules official) with them,” Funk said. “Not that it’s his job to tell you, ‘Be careful, this is a bunker.’ But if he saw that, why wouldn’t he go up to Dustin and say, ‘Hey, be careful here, this is a bunker’ ”?

Goodes concurred.

“The official with his group, he should been on top of things,” Goodes said. “He should have been right up there and when they got to where the ball was, and he should have told Dustin

Crosswater Continued from D1 Jeld-Wen Inc. last week announced that after this year it will no longer be the title sponsor of The Tradition, meaning that the 2010 Tradition will probably be the last one played in this region.

The handful of Monday’s early arrivals — including Bean, 2008 Tradition champion Fred Funk, and ’08 runner-up Mike Goodes — agreed that they will take away some fond memories of Central Oregon and its most famous golf course.

“My times here have been very nice,” said Bean, an avid fisherman who has placed no better than a tie for 27th place in three years here.

“The people have been great. The scores haven’t been so far quite what I wanted them to be, but I guess we’ll see what happens this week.”

Travel to Central Oregon is not the easiest for golf pros, many of whom live in warm-weather locales such as Florida and Arizona.

But once the travel is over, Funk, for one, enjoys the atmosphere of this region.

“Even though it’s kind of hard to get to, once you are here, I love being here,” said Funk, 54, who has played in every Central Oregon Tradition so far. “It’s the uniqueness of where it is. The vistas, the view you have, the weather, it’s just spectacular. You have the cool nights and the real warm days. It’s a beautiful golf course.”

Goodes, who finished three shots behind Funk in 2008, agreed.

“Fred Funk and I rode in together and we were talking about how much we like the place,” said Goodes, 53. “It’s not the easiest place to get to, but that is some of the charm of it. You get here and it’s quiet and peaceful. You don’t hear trucks run-

and his caddie that, ‘You are in a sand hazard.’ He could have saved everybody’s face right there.”

Ryder Cup mania Beginning at 12:20 p.m. today, a run of Ryder Cup captains will tee off at Crosswater Club in The Tradition’s Pro-Am Championship.

In order of tee time, Ben Crenshaw, Corey Pavin, Bernhard Langer, Mark James, Hal Sutton, Tom Kite and Tom Watson will tee off from the first tee every 10 minutes between 12:20 and 1:30 p.m. All seven golfers have captained either the U.S. or European team once in their careers. Pavin is captain of the 2010 U.S. Ryder Cup team.

The only exception is Loren Roberts, who will tee off at 1:10 p.m. That tee time was reserved for Paul Azinger, who captained the U.S. team in the 2008 Ryder Cup but could not make the afternoon time.

Couples picks PGA Tour event over Tradition Fred Couples, a Champions Tour rookie and fan favorite who was expected to play this week in The Tradition before he withdrew from the tournament on Friday, will be playing instead this week at the PGA Tour’s Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., according to the PGA Tour.

Another first-year Champions Tour player, Tom Pernice Jr., withdrew from The Tradition on Monday to play in the Greensboro tournament.

ning by, you don’t hear planes. It’s such a relaxed feeling here.”

The Champions Tour has not announced that The Tradition will be making a move, but it seems the most probable scenario after the 2010 Tradition’s final round concludes on Sunday afternoon.

“Well maybe,” Bean said Monday of The Tradition’s anticipated departure from Central Oregon after this year. “You never know.”

But Funk said he can understand the reasons for a move.

Attendance for The Tradition appeared to show an increase last year, when Mike Reid beat John Cook in a sudden-death playoff. Estimates by Tradition officials placed the attendance at about 30,000 spectators for the week.

But the 2010 U.S. Senior Open — which, like The Tradition, is among the five major championships on the Champions Tour — sold some 110,000 tickets for the tournament when it was played in July at Sahalee Country Club near Seattle.

“I guess good things have to come to an end,” Funk said, referring to The Tradition’s stay at Crosswater. “I really always liked this golf course.

But I understand some of the reason for the move is to give (The Tradition) more of a feel of being a major.

“There are still quite a few people out here, but it still doesn’t have the 20,000, 30,000 (each day) that you would want to have (for a major championship).”

Goodes, though, said he will miss Central Oregon if the tournament does move.

“I’m sad we’re moving,” Goodes said. “But that happens on this tour.”

GOLF: PGA TOUR

Pavin says Woods ’high on his list’ for Ryder Cup The Associated Press MILWAUKEE — Tiger Woods remained No. 1 in the world ranking Monday, though not even close to that on two lists — the Ryder Cup and FedEx Cup — that mean much more these days.

Woods failed to qualify for the Ryder Cup for the first time — he had led the standings every other time since 1997 — and now must rely on U.S. captain Corey Pavin spending one of four wild-card picks on him.

In a hotel conference room Monday, Pavin sat at the head table between two poster boards, each showing the final standings for the eight American qualifiers. Woods’ name was nowhere to be found between Phil Mickelson at No. 1 and Matt Kuchar at No. 8.

Pavin would only say that Woods is “high on my list” and will be a “big consideration” when he announces his selections Sept. 7.

“I’m looking at him in essence like any other player. He isn’t ... but he is,” Pavin said. “I’m certainly not going to disrespect other players by considering him different from other players. I have to look at the way he’s playing, the way he played, and I have to look at his body of work as well. If anyone can turn it around quickly, it’s him.”

Woods should have at least one more tournament to make an impression.

While he wound up No. 12 in the Ryder Cup standings, equally troublesome is that Woods is No. 108 in the FedEx Cup standings. The top 125 are eligible for The Barclays next week at Ridgewood Country Club in New Jersey, the start of the PGA Tour playoffs. Only the top 100 in the standings advance to the second round of the playoffs at the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston.

Woods is so far down in the FedEx Cup standings he’s one

spot behind Pavin.

“He’s ranked a lot higher on Ryder Cup points,” Pavin said with a laugh, “and probably the world ranking, I’m guessing.”

Despite the shockingly low numbers next to Woods’ name, Pavin came away from the PGA Championship encouraged as much by what he heard from Woods as what he saw from him.

Woods stated plainly at the start of the week that he wants to play in the Ryder Cup and would accept a captain’s pick.

Even after he closed with a 1over 73 to tie for 28th at Whistling Straits, he joked that he could still help out in singles.

His Ryder Cup record is 10-132, including 3-1-2 in singles.

“I feel my game is a lot better than it was obviously last week, and given a little bit more time, it’s starting to head in the right direction now, which is good,” Woods said. “And I’m looking forward to it. Hopefully, Corey will pick me on the team.”

Continued from D1 The road championship schedule wraps up next weekend with the OBRA Criterium Championships, which will be held in Albany. Locally, the final weeknight criterium of the summer is this Wednesday at Summit High School.

The event, dubbed the Central Oregon Crit Championships, gets under way at 6 p.m. and includes three racing divisions. For more information, go to www.deschuteshoney. com.

——— As competitive road cycling and mountain biking hit the brakes for 2010, it’s time to ramp up for another racing discipline — Oregon’s most popular, in fact, in terms of participation: cyclocross.

Kicking off the season in Central Oregon is the 2010 Thrilla Cyclocross Series, a four-race event with a new look this year. The seventh annual Thursday night race series is scheduled for Sept. 2, 9, 16, and 30, and it features one significant change. This year’s event will be staged in NorthWest Crossing on the north side of Summit High School in west Bend. Organizers hope that the new venue (Thrilla heretofore was staged on a tract of land at Century Drive and Chandler Avenue in southwest Bend) will allow for a longer course to accommodate what they expect to be bigger fields this year. (In 2009, the series attracted approximately 120 participants at each race.)

Entry fee is $12 per race or $40 for the series. For more information or to register, go to www.webcyclery.com.

——— In addition to racing, riders in Central Oregon have a number of opportunities locally to sharpen their cyclocross skills — or maybe even learn some new ones.

A women’s cyclocross skills clinic is scheduled for three upcoming Mondays: Sept. 6, 13 and 20. The clinics will be conducted by veteran cyclocross racer Joanne Stevens and will focus on ’crossspecific bike-handling skills.

The three remaining clinics, which are part of a five-session series that began earlier this month, are open to riders of all ability levels, and riders with cyclocross or mountain bikes are welcome to attend.

Cost is $15 per class. For more information, contact Stevens at 541-848-3691.

The Rebound Sports Performance Lab in Bend is hosting its annual cyclocross clinics, presented by former ’cross professional Bart Bowen. The clinics cover dismounts, cornering and racing strategy and will run on Tuesdays starting at 5:30 p.m. from Aug. 31 through September. Cost is $10 per clinic or $45 for the five-class series. For more information, call 541-585-1500.

——— A statewide grass-roots effort to bring cyclocross racing to the high school level is gaining steam in Oregon. The Oregon Bicycle Racing Association has created a High School Cyclocross Series, the aim of which is to grow cyclocross racing as a high school club sport. Ideally, according to organizers, clubs representing high schools or regions would conduct regular practices under a team coach and would participate in a five-event fall racing schedule culminating with the crowning of team and individual champions. Locally, the program is still in its infancy, but a movement is under way to establish a regional cyclocross club for high schoolers in Central Oregon.

Currently, cyclocross training practices, which are open to all Central Oregon boys and girls of high school age, are scheduled for this Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at Summit High School and again on Thursday, Aug. 26, also at Summit.

Adults interested in participating as coaches or learning more about how to establish high school cyclocross clubs are encouraged to attend the practices. To learn more, contact Bill Warburton at 541335-1346 or at e-mail bendhsccx@obra.org.

Continued from D1 The following batter, Tommy Richards, was hit by a pitch, putting runners on first and second for cleanup hitter Andy Hunter.

The lanky Gonzaga infielder tied the score 1-1 by connecting on a 1-1 pitch for a one-run double, which scored Lavin.

Riley Tompkins, who followed Hunter in the lineup, popped a two-run double to score Richards and Hunter, which gave the Elks their first lead of the night, making the score 3-1. Designated hitter Taylor Ausbun added an RBI single later in the inning, and Even Busby scored on a throwing error by the catcher before the close of the inning to put Bend ahead 5-1.

Wenatchee scored one run

Nationals sign top draft pick The Associated Press NEW YORK — Top draft pick Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals agreed to a $9.9 million, five-year contract just before Monday’s midnight deadline.

Harper was among at least three first-round selections who received major league contracts: catcher Yasmani Grandal and Cincinnati agreed to a $3.2 million, four-year deal, as did third baseman Zack Cox and St. Louis.

Harper, a 17-year-old powerhitting catcher from College of Southern Nevada, was the first JUCO player taken with the top overall pick. He was among 17 first-round selections unsigned at the start of the day.

MLB He gets a $6.25 million signing bonus in five equal payments of $1.25 million: 30 days after approval and each July 1 from 2011 through 2014.

He receives salaries of $500,000 each in 2011 and 2012, $750,000 in 2013, $900,000 in 2014 and $1 million in 2015.

Harper’s deal is a record for a non-pitcher signed out of the draft who had not become a free agent.

Current New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira set the previous record for a major league deal for a position player, getting a $9.5 million, four-year deal from the Texas Rangers in

Win Continued from D1 As a sophomore this past May, he won the Intermountain Conference boys singles title and went on to finish fourth at state. “I had match points, but lost it,� says Deuel of the singles semifinal round at state.

Deuel is a quiet and calm teenager who has concise answers for every question. “I’m pretty devoted (to tennis). It’s pretty much all I do,� he says softly and smiles, his wire braces reflecting a glint of sunshine before he turns to look out on the tennis courts at Summit High.

The courts — at Summit, at the Athletic Club of Bend and at Mount Bachelor Village Resort — are where Paxton spends most of his free time. But he is realistic, and he has aspirations and passions beyond tennis. “At the nationals level ‌ there are some really good players ‌ that play five hours a day every day and are online schooled,â€? says Deuel. “That’s just not quite what I want to do. I still have interests in academics.â€?

Deuel’s strongest subjects in school are history and English.

His main goal is to play tennis at a college with high academic standards. “He has a healthy understanding of what it takes to be a pro,� says Banni Bunting, Deuel’s personal tennis instructor for the past eight years. “Playing college tennis is a huge accomplishment and a healthy goal for him that’s totally attainable.

When you go to these national tournaments, you really see what the competition is — and it’s pretty impressive.�

Deuel has traveled to numerous United States Tennis Association national tournaments this year, most recently the USTA National Championships

I B Swimming

The Bulletin / Rob Kerr

Paxton Deuel practices at the Summit High School tennis courts in Bend Friday morning.

Softball earlier this month at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, Mich.

The Michigan tournament, he says, was probably among the most competitive of the national tournaments. “The last two years I’ve qualified into these tournaments,�

Deuel explains. “I take those opportunities because not everybody gets to play them.�

In Michigan, the nation’s best tennis players ages 16 through 18 competed for USTA ranking.

Deuel is currently ranked No. 310 in the nation and 14th in the Pacific Northwest in the boys age 16 division. “Kalamazoo was pretty neat,� Deuel says. “Not resultwise, but just the experience because it’s just the top tournament. You can’t go any higher for a junior.� “He’s learned more than everybody else (his tennis peers) this summer from losing,� Quigley observes. “You learn a lot

from what he has done. ‌ It’s hard to put yourself out there and lose and do it again and lose and do it again and lose. ‌ Then you look at where he is at and you say, ‘You’re not a loser.’ That’s the tough thing about it.â€?

A Medford native, Deuel grew up in Madras, attended Bend’s Cascade Academy and Seven Peaks School. Though the Deuels had a house in Bend for several years, they finally made the move two years ago.

Deuel’s been playing tennis since he was 6 years old, climbing through the Athletic Club of Bend’s youth tennis programs. “I’ve taught tennis for 24 years and I’ve taught only four or five kids that were like him,� says Quigley. “It’s interesting, you know it right away. They don’t come along that often.�
