Airfares soar after a long recession’s bargains

Governor’s crisis cabinet details blueprint for state’s colleges — with COCC-OSU model in mind By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

It’s no secret that as the recession has taken hold of Oregon, more people have returned to schools searching for higher education that will help them find jobs and a more secure future. It’s especially true in Central Oregon, where the community college has seen an 85 percent enrollment jump over the past three years, and Oregon State University-Cascades Campus is entering its sixth consecutive term with enrollment increases. More students may be crowding the state’s campuses, but repeated state budget shortfalls mean there’s not much additional state funding to help those campuses deal with the enrollment increases. Now, Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s “reset cabinet” has a few ideas to help higher education become more efficient and successful. Kulongoski assembled a nine-person cabinet to determine how best to deal with the current economic crisis facing Oregon. In June, the group released a report that details ways it believes Oregon could save money, trim government and cut spending. The report features sections on each of the main government functions, from labor costs and public safety to human services and education.

Airfares have marched steadily upward in recent months and are now close to pre-recession levels — and that’s not even counting all the fees that airlines have introduced lately. The increase in fares is the result of a remarkable discipline shown by the airlines, which have generally not added more flights this year — even as the economy has improved and demand has picked up. For the airlines, flying fewer and fuller planes has paid off. And passengers are paying the price. For leisure travelers, domestic fares have increased more than 20 percent in the second quarter compared with a year earlier, according to data compiled by the travel website Orbitz. On international routes, the climb has been even steeper, with fares 30 percent higher than last year. For business travelers, ticket prices increased by 12 percent in the first half of the year. Even as the summer ends, experts said they did not expect bargain fares to return anytime soon. See Airfare / A7

Within military families, strong criticism rises with casualties By David Zucchino Los Angeles Times

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. — Bill and Beverly Osborn still can’t bring themselves to erase the phone message from their son Ben. He had called from Afghanistan in June to assure them that he was safe. Four days later, he was killed in a Taliban ambush. The Osborns long ago accepted the risks faced by their son, an Army specialist. But what they can’t accept now are the military rules of engagement, which they contend made it possible for the Taliban to kill him. “We let the enemy fire first, and they took my son from us,” Beverly Osborn said of the rules. As American combat deaths have reached record levels this summer, public support is eroding for the 9-year-old conflict. And criticism is mounting among military families, too. See Casualties / A10

Flexible, but less, funding in reset plan for higher ed

Funding linked to success? When it comes to higher education, the report pushes the state to redefine its relationship with the university system and to restructure funding to give more money to the schools that provide the best educational outcomes, like graduation rates and other measures of success. The reset cabinet did not attempt to quantify how much money might be saved by working toward the higher education efficiencies; however, it did recommend funding the Oregon University System at 15 percent below the current service level for the coming budget year.

REPLACING FOSSIL FUELS

Scientific method as a corporate strategy By Andrew Pollack New York Times News Service Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Joanna Newman, 21, visits with Cutter, a horse at 4 Start Stables, where the Redmond High School graduate used to ride horses. Newman, though, has been unable to ride for about two years, since she began suffering severe back pain caused by a noncancerous tumor growing along her spine.

Waiting, in pain By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

y the time Joanna Newman, a Redmond High School valedictorian in 2007, learned what was causing the intense pain in her back, she was more relieved than upset. An intradural lipoma — a noncancerous fatty tumor along her spinal column — was compressing her spine and growing larger. Her situation, doctors have said, is rare and threatens to paralyze Newman from the chest down. Newman now needs surgery and

is waiting for her insurance provider to decide whether it will cover it. At the same time, she is trying to raise money to pay for the surgery at a California hospital. The surgery, Newman hopes, will bring to a close a long struggle to feel better. That struggle began in late 2007, when Newman began suffering back pains that made the most basic movements difficult. In January 2008, Newman began visiting doctor’s offices and clinics, searching for an answer. Over the next four months, Newman saw emergency room doctors, a nurse practitioner

and an osteopath. In April 2008, when Newman could barely walk because of the pain, her mother-in-law took her to the ER at St. Charles Bend. Amber Newman, her mother-in-law, persuaded doctors to conduct a CT scan of Joanna’s back. An MRI followed, and with it the news of the tumor. Hearing the grim diagnosis was difficult, but it gave Newman — now 21 and a student at Oregon State University in Corvallis — a name for the pain that haunted much of her life. See Newman / A8

J. Craig Venter — a real-life Dr. Frankenstein? — wants to create creatures (think bacteria, algae or even plants) to carry out industrial tasks and displace fossil fuels. It will be, he says, “the basis of a new industrial revolution.”

TOP NEWS INSIDE

INDEX Abby

SAN DIEGO — The scientific rebel J. Craig Venter created headlines — and drew comparisons to Dr. Frankenstein — when he announced in May that his team had created what, with a bit of stretching, could be called the first synthetic living creature. Two months later, only a smattering of reporters and local dignitaries bothered to show up at a news conference to hear Venter talk about a new greenhouse that his company, Synthetic Genomics, had built outside its headquarters here to conduct research. The contrast in the fanfare reflects the enormous gap between Venter’s stunning scientific achievements and his business aspirations. Venter, 63, made his name as a gene hunter. He was co-founder of a company, Celera Genomics, that nearly left the federally funded Human Genome Project in the dust in the race to determine the complete sequence of DNA in human chromosomes.

Craigslist U.S. may bail out Afghan bank Treasury dumps Official: Department share likely to be small adult ads By Adam B. Ellick

New York Times News Service

Bulletin wire reports Craigslist appears to have surrendered in a legal fight over erotic ads posted on its website, shutting down its adult services section Saturday and replacing it with a black bar that simply says “censored.” The move comes just over a week after a group of state attorneys general said there weren’t enough protections against blocking potentially illegal ads promoting prostitution. It’s not clear if the closure is permanent, and it appears to only affect ads in the United States. The listings came under new scrutiny after the jailhouse suicide last month of a former medical student who was awaiting trial in the killing of a masseuse he met through Craigslist, a popular site that lets users post classified ads, often for free. Craigslist’s adult services section carried ads for everything from personal massages to a night’s companionship, which critics say veered into prostitution. It’s unclear if Craigslist felt the attorneys general had a good argument, or if it simply got tired of spending time on the issue. But saying adult services were “censored” rather than just removing them could be seen as a message to prosecutors, said Jonathan Zittrain, professor of law and computer science at Harvard University. “They don’t like being pushed around” he said. Craigslist, which is based in San Francisco, did not respond to requests for comment, and it was unclear whether the block represented a permanent shift in policy or a temporary protest against the outside pressure on the company, which has lasted several years.

KABUL, Afghanistan — In a bid to fend off the threat of a nationwide financial crisis, the Afghan and U.S. governments tentatively agreed Saturday to bail out Afghanistan’s largest bank, according to Afghan and U.S. officials. Details of the deal, including how much each government would contribute, were still being worked out Saturday

between the Central Bank of Afghanistan and the U.S. Treasury Department, officials said. Meanwhile, thousands of nervous Afghan depositors, unaware of the bailout and unconvinced of the bank’s solvency, stampeded the central branch of the beleaguered Kabul Bank to withdraw their savings. But the teller drawers were largely empty, and most customers left empty-handed. The planned injection of cash into Kabul Bank is meant to slow the run on the bank by its customers, who have withdrawn more than $200 million in the past few days amid fears of a wider economic collapse. The panic began last week when the Central Bank ousted the chairman and the chief

executive officer of Kabul Bank, after discovering that the bank had acted recklessly, lending millions of dollars to allies of President Hamid Karzai and pouring money into risky investments. A major shareholder in the bank, Mahmoud Karzai, the president’s brother, said Saturday he was unaware of a bailout. He said such intervention would be unnecessary considering that the bank still retained half of its $600 million in assets. An American official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media, said the U.S. contribution would not be large. This comes several days after Karzai and other top officials

pledged that they would guarantee deposits. But those assurances failed to curtail the rush of withdrawals. The government has blamed the international and local news media for inciting fears. The crisis has threatened to undermine confidence in Afghanistan’s fledgling financial system, built under American guidance after the collapse of the Taliban regime in 2001. Among the clients of the bank is the government, which pays about 250,000 public employees through the bank. Meanwhile, Lt. Gen. Sir Nick Parker, deputy commander of the international coalition in Afghanistan, said contingency plans were being drawn up to respond in the event of unrest.

U.N.: 1.3 million Haitians remain in 1,300 camps By Jt Nguyen McClatchy-Tribune News Service

NEW YORK — Nearly nine months after a devastating earthquake, an estimated 1.3 million Haitians are still living in temporary shelters while the country struggles with reconstruction and rebuilding a government, the United Nations has updated in its official report. Those people displaced by the magnitude-7 earthquake on Jan. 12 now live in 1,300 settlement sites. “The situation in the camps remains complex, given a shifting population and fluctuating use of camps,” the report, released last week, said. It said most of the 600,000 residents who left the capital, Port-au-Prince, after the quake have returned. The quake killed more than 200,000 people and destroyed or damaged more than 230,000 buildings and houses. The international community in March pledged more than $11 billion for the long-term recovery and reconstruction of Haiti.

Well no longer threat to Gulf, authorities say Bulletin wire reports With a new blowout preventer in place and a 5,000-foot column of cement filling its core, the BP well is no longer in danger of leaking oil, the federal spill response chief said Saturday — although he said it must still be plugged from the bottom for the job to be complete. “I’m very pleased to announce that with the new blowout preventer on this well, and the cement that was previously put in … that this well does not constitute a threat to the Gulf of Mexico at this point,” said Thad Allen, the retired Coast Guard admiral who has served as the government’s point person on the response. “But we need to finish the work related to the relief well, and plugging and abandonment, which will need to move forward.”

Clues on containment raised to the surface Investigators may now be able to answer the most elusive question since a rig explosion on the Gulf more than four months ago, as they get a close-up view of a key piece of equipment for the first time: Why didn’t it stop the oil? A crewman guided a crane Saturday to hoist the 50-foot, 300-ton blowout preventer from a mile beneath the sea to the surface. It took about 29½ hours for the blowout preventer to reach the surface of the Gulf. FBI agents were among the 137 people aboard the Helix Q4000 vessel, waiting to escort the device back to a NASA facility in Louisiana for analysis. Investigators know the explosion was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as it burst through several seals and barriers before igniting. But they don’t know exactly how or why the gas escaped. And they don’t know why the blowout preventer didn’t seal the well pipe at the sea bottom after the eruption, as it was supposed to.

The U.N. stabilization mission in Haiti, with more than 10,000 military and police personnel, has been engaged in assisting the government in the massive humanitarian and reconstruction tasks. The report said the most challenging task for Portau-Prince, in addition to reconstruction, is to organize presidential and legislative elections later this year. It called for a credible and legitimate poll “in order to bring in a president and government with a clear and uncontested mandate to lead the reconstruction process.” It said Haiti has successfully avoided a secondwave disaster of epidemics and social unrest. But it warned that the country is facing a fragile political, social and economic situation with the hundreds of thousands of quake victims still living in camps in the coming year.

Their new strategy: triage To keep House, Democrats to shift money from weakest incumbents to closest races By Jeff Zeleny and Carl Hulse New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — As Democrats brace for a November wave that threatens their control of the House, party leaders are preparing a brutal triage of their own members in hopes of saving enough seats to keep a slim grip on the majority. In the next two weeks, Democratic leaders will review new polls and other data that show whether vulnerable incumbents have a path to victory. If not, the party is poised to redirect money to concentrate on trying to protect up to two dozen lawmakers who appear to be in the strongest position to fend off their challengers. “We are going to have to win these races one by one,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, conceding that the party would ultimately cut loose members who had not gained ground. With the midterm campaign entering its final two months, Democrats acknowledged that several

races could quickly move out of their reach, including re-election bids by Reps. Betsy Markey of Colorado, Tom Perriello of Virginia and Frank Kratovil of Maryland, whose districts were among the 55 Democrats won from Republicans in the last two election cycles. Reps. John Spratt of South Carolina, chairman of the Budget Committee, and Earl Pomeroy of North Dakota, who is seeking a 10th term, are among the senior Democrats who have appeared to gain little ground in the summer months in the toxic political environment. While Democrats have all but given up hope that the political or economic climate will improve substantially before the election, they are not conceding control of the House (nor the Senate, whose control is also in question). A national campaign trumpeting Democratic accomplishments on health care, education and Wall Street regulation has given way to a race-by-race defensive strategy. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued an urgent plea for members

ELECTION

On the stump, Democrats push fiscal austerity Faced with a potential wipeout in November’s midterms, Democrats such as Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado — “We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet,” he fumed to a roomful of voters. “In my view, we have nothing to show for it” — are embracing budget cuts with the enthusiasm of Reagan Republicans. The new push for austerity could prove too little, too late for the party, which fears losing its majorities in both chambers of Congress. Those Democrats who prevail in November will likely return to the Capitol in a more fiscally conservative mood. Some Democrats are looking to the debate over taxes to show voters they are serious about their conversion to fiscal restraint. President George W. Bush’s tax cuts, enacted in 2001 and 2003, are scheduled to expire this year. President Barack Obama has called for extending the cuts for all but the wealthiest taxpayers, with the additional $700 billion in revenue going to deficit reduction. Republicans support a permanent extension of the tax cuts. Even as Democrats vow to bring spending under control, GOP candidates are trying to outdo them, embracing more radical deficit-cutting solutions, including shuttering entire federal agencies. — The Washington Post in safe districts to help their endangered colleagues by contributing money. She instructed members with no re-election worries to tap into a combined $218 million from their campaign accounts to help save their majority. Several party leaders and strategists privately acknowledge that about 20 seats are already probably lost, but they believe they can build a fire wall around seats in the Northeast and in other pock-

ets across the country where Republicans have nominated untested candidates. The battle is boiling down to a question of mathematics. By the best-case Democratic calculation, party strategists believe Republicans must beat about 35 sitting Democrats if the parties split 16 highly competitive open seats and Democrats win four of five Republican seats they see as within their reach.

Peace talks pose a test to Clinton’s mettle A N A LY S I S By Mark Landler New York Times News Service

For much of her tenure as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton has been less an architect than an advocate for the Obama administration’s Middle East policy. With the latest resumption of direct talks, she now has no choice but to plunge into the rough and tumble of peacemaking. Clinton will be in the thick of the negotiations between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, when they meet Sept. 14 in Egypt. Her role, several officials say, will be to take over from the administration’s special envoy, George Mitchell, when the two sides run into serious obstacles. It may prove the greatest test yet for Clinton, one that could cement her legacy as a diplomat if she solves the riddle that foiled even her husband. But it could also pose considerable risks to any political ambitions she may harbor. “I understand very well the disappointments of the past; I share them,” she said in convening the talks, an allusion to President Bill Clinton’s failed effort to broker a deal, most vividly at Camp David in 2000, when peace seemed tantalizingly close but vanished amid recriminations in the Maryland mountains. The tableau of Netanyahu and Abbas chatting amiably Thursday in front of the marble fireplace in her office, officials said, testified to her relentless phone calls in recent weeks as she wore down the reluctance of the Palestinians to come to the table and drummed up support from Arab neighbors like Jordan and Egypt. “One of the best indications that this could succeed is that Hillary Clinton is willing to get involved,” said Stephen Hadley, who served as national security adviser to President George W. Bush. “Because that makes me think two things: She thinks it’s possible and, because she is as skilled as she is, it increases the likelihood of success.”

A ‘plenty tough’ ally Among the many hurdles Clinton will face is the often tense relationship that this administration has had with Israel. President Barack Obama is viewed with distrust by many in Israel and among some Jewish groups at home, where his outreach to the Muslim world and public criticism of Israeli policies have been denounced as anti-Israel. But Clinton has preserved her own credibility among these groups, analysts said, which will make her perhaps the administration’s most effective salesperson for the peace process. She also has a politician’s feel for Netanyahu, her aides say, which could help her push him to make hard choices, provided she is willing. The question, some Middle East experts asked, is whether Clinton has the negotiating grit to keep both men at the table — the mysterious combination of bluster, the-

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, shown at the United Nations in August, is taking a hands-on approach to Mideast diplomacy. “One of the best indications that (these peace talks) could succeed is that Hillary Clinton is willing to get involved,” said Stephen Hadley, national security adviser under George W. Bush. “... Because she is as skilled as she is, it increases the likelihood of success.” atrics, hand-holding and guile that secretaries of state, like Henry Kissinger and James Baker, have deployed to forge agreements between Arabs and Israelis. “She’s plenty tough, tougher than her husband,” said Aaron David Miller, who worked on peace negotiations in the Clinton administration. “But does she have a negotiator’s mindset?”

High-wire diplomacy Early in her tenure, some questioned the scope of Clinton’s role after the appointment of highly visible special emissaries like Mitchell and Richard Holbrooke, the special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Clinton seems to have put those doubts to rest, though Mitchell will continue to manage the talks on a day-today basis. Clinton got her first taste of high-wire negotiating last October in Zurich when she headed off a last-minute dispute that nearly scuttled an agreement between Turkey and Armenia on normalizing diplomatic relations. Sitting in a black BMW limousine, she juggled two cell phones, slowly nudging two ancient enemies together, if only temporarily. In June, at a hotel bar in Lima, Peru, she finalized a deal with a Chinese diplomat over which companies could be named in a U.N. resolution punishing Iran for its nuclear program. But these are sideshows compared with the challenge of pleasing wary foes who have spent decades avoiding a deal. Even after what officials said was a promising start a week ago, no one in the administration knows if the talks will survive past Sept. 26, when Netanyahu has promised to allow a moratorium on settlement construction to expire, and Abbas has threatened to walk out if it does.

Encountering criticism For an American politician, the risks of delving into the Middle East are obvious. Already, Clinton has taken arrows from American

Jewish groups for her full-throated advocacy of Obama’s pressure on the Israeli government to freeze settlements. “At the beginning of the administration, she was used as a foil; she was very tough on Israel,” said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish advocacy organization. It was not the first time Clinton raised hackles. As first lady, she hugged Suha Arafat, the wife of Yasser Arafat, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, after Arafat had made incendiary remarks about Israel. (Her aides said her reaction was based on an incomplete translation of the comments.) In 1998, Clinton called for the creation of a Palestinian state, a proposal disavowed by the White House at the time but is now American policy. For all that, Foxman said, Clinton still has a reservoir of support, accrued from her years working for Jewish voters as a New York senator. But the White House, not the State Department, drove the initial phase of policymaking in the Middle East. The strategy of pressing Israel over settlements was devised by Obama’s staff with his active involvement, according to several officials. As she has on other issues, Clinton has been the good soldier, amplifying the president’s message. But more recently, as the chill with Jerusalem began rattling lawmakers on Capitol Hill, Clinton has counseled the White House to keep its criticism of Israel private, according to officials. To prepare for this moment, Clinton has asked her staff for an exhaustive analysis of all the major peace initiatives, to spot trends, sticking points, areas of agreement and so on. Clinton, more than most, understands that presidents are indispensable in Middle East peacemaking. She likes telling colleagues a story about Arafat calling her husband in February 2001 to tell him he was ready to make a deal with Israel. “That’s great,” Bill Clinton replied, “but I’m not in office anymore.”

Arabs seek audit of Israel’s nukes Arab countries are stepping up efforts to pry open Israel’s nuclear program, according to letters by diplomats accompanying a new report by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times reveal a behind-the-scenes battle between the West and developing countries over whether to place the Israeli nuclear program under international controls, as demanded by an Arab-sponsored resolution adopted by the IAEA’s 151 member states last year. Israel had said it would not comply with the resolution. Israel does not confirm or deny that it has a nuclear weapons program. Like Pakistan and India, Israel is not a signatory to the treaty and is not legally bound to submit to inspections. The maneuvering precedes meetings this month of the U.N. nuclear watchdog’s 35-member board and its member states. — Los Angeles Times

New York Times News Service CHATHAM, Mass. — A diminished Tropical Storm Earl left barely a hint of damage after slapping at Nantucket and the outer reaches of Cape Cod early Saturday, allowing coastal vacationers and business owners to exhale as a blue-sky Labor Day weekend got under way. But in Nova Scotia, the storm left one casualty. A hobbled version of the fearsome Category 4 hurricane it had once been, the storm roiled surf, caused minor street flooding and left about 1,800 customers without power overnight as it passed about 90 miles south of Nantucket. By morning, as the storm reached Nova Scotia, towns along the cape were assessing how much holiday business they had lost from the originally grim forecast.

W B Shoes, eggs hurled at Tony Blair in Dublin DUBLIN — Protesters threw shoes and eggs Saturday at Tony Blair, who held the first public signing of his memoir amid high security in Ireland’s capital. Hundreds more lined up to have their books autographed — evidence that the divisions left by Blair’s decade as Britain’s prime minister have yet to heal. Blair’s new book, “A Journey,” has angered opponents of his policies, especially the 2003 invasion of Iraq. About 200 protesters chanted that Blair had “blood on his hands” as the former prime minister arrived at a Dublin bookstore. Security was tight, with book buyers — who appeared to outnumber protesters by about two to one — told to hand over bags and mobile phones before entering. Police said four men were arrested.

New Zealand quake tore new fault line CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — The powerful earthquake that smashed buildings, cracked roads and twisted rail lines around the New Zealand city of Christchurch also ripped a new 11-foot-wide fault line in the earth’s surface, a geologist said earlier today. At least 500 buildings, including 90 downtown properties, have been designated as destroyed in the 7.1-magnitude quake that struck at 4:35 a.m. Saturday near the South Island city of 400,000 people. Meanwhile, a plane carrying skydivers crashed in flames near a popular glacier in New Zealand’s Southern Alps, killing five nationals and four European tourists, police said. — From wire reports

Women’s groups call out political sexism By Krissah Thompson The Washington Post

The list includes the talk-radio host who called a female senator a “prostitute” for cutting a deal to benefit her state, the male challenger who pointed out his female rival is “attractive” and “probably a good mother,” and the TV host who noted that the candidate’s wife looked like an angry woman. Those comments and others have been collected by a group of advocates for women running for office who are monitoring what they see as a “highly toxic” media environment that makes it difficult for female candidates. The effort to track sexist comments and put pressure on advertisers who help bankroll the media figures responsible for some of the remarks comes as women campaign in several high-profile races this year, including competitive Senate seats and governorships in South Carolina and California. The Women’s Campaign Forum, Women’s Media Center and Political Parity plan to spend $250,000 on research and outreach for the initiative, which they have dubbed NameItChangeIt. The idea is to call out a range of issues — everything from what the groups see as an unfair focus on women’s clothes and family responsibilities to profane name-calling. Their list so far, which goes back several years, includes a comment by conservative radio host G. Gordon Liddy about Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor: “Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate,” Liddy said on his show. “That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.” The women’s groups also point to a quote in a Wall Street Journal story about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s run for vice president where a liberal voter asks, “Who’s watching the baby? And what kind of nurturing is going on in that 17-year-old’s life if she’s pregnant?” The comments were only lightly condemned, said Jehmu Greene, president of the Women’s Media Center, and they keep coming. “Sexism against women in the media has become normalized and accepted in a way that they would not be if the comments were racist,” Greene said. “It dramatically affects women candidates.” Those effects have been measured in research by American University’s Women and Politics Institute, said the institute’s director, Jennifer Lawless. Her research has shown that women are less likely than men to consider running for office because they perceive an unfair political environment. The U.S. ranks 86th in the world for representation of women in political office. Women make up 51 percent of the nation’s population but hold only 17 percent of the seats in Congress and 24 percent of state legislature seats. Those numbers frustrate groups that have tried for years to get more women in the political pipeline.

ROBERT F. KENNEDY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Intended as tribute, awash in controversy Massive price tag criticized; former Ambassador Hotel site has a troubled history

A mural by artist Judy Baca adorns the inside of the newly built Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools on the former site of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The upcoming opening of the center, where the hotel in which Kennedy was assassinated once stood, has become a subject of criticism for its high construction costs.

By Adam Nagourney New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — “This is it. The pantry where the shooting took place is right behind us here.” Paul Schrade, 85, gestured to a library counter and, behind it, a warren of empty rooms and closets. The pantry Schrade referred to, now vanished, was the passageway in the Ambassador Hotel where Robert F. Kennedy was shot 42 years ago after declaring victory in the state’s Democratic presidential primary. Schrade, a close aide, was at Kennedy’s side that night and was himself shot in the head in the rush of gunfire, a little remembered footnote to the assassination. The Ambassador Hotel is now razed, replaced by a sprawling public school complex that will open on Sept. 13, a memorial to Kennedy as well as an ambitious effort by a beleaguered school system to provide classrooms to a community of mostly poor Latino students. Schrade has been the Kennedy family’s chief representative in a project to which he has more than a little personal connection. Yet the opening of the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools has become a new strained chapter in a long, tortured battle over this historically resonant site. In the 21 years since the hotel went bankrupt, the property has been the stage for a battle pitting historical preservationists against the Kennedy family and a city that is not often keen on embracing its history; a failed attempt by Donald Trump to build the world’s largest building; and now, a corro-

years of battle over the historical significance of the Ambassador, and what, if anything, should be saved: the hotel with a guest roll that included presidents, movie stars, foreign dignitaries and astronauts; the Cocoanut Grove where singers like Frank Sinatra performed; the hall where Kennedy gave his last speech; and the place he was shot. In the end, almost nothing has been preserved, a fact that has been almost lost in the furor over cost. Instead, the library replicates the footprint of the barrel-ceiling ballroom where Kennedy gave his victory speech, with murals by one of this city’s most renowned artists, Judith Baca, depicting scenes from Kennedy’s life. But there is no marker at the spot where Kennedy spoke or where he was shot.

For Mexican cartels, marijuana is still gold By Tim Johnson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

CORRE COYOTE, Mexico — Times are good for the dope growers of the western Sierra Madre mountains. The army eradication squads that once hacked at the illicit marijuana fields have been diverted by the drug war that’s raging elsewhere in Mexico. The military’s retreat has delighted farmers who are sowing and reaping marijuana. Cannabis cultivation in Mexico soared 35 percent last year and is now higher than at any time in nearly two decades, the State Department says. It’s also been a boon for Mexico’s powerful organized-crime groups. Marijuana is perishable, bulky and less profitable than their other exports — heroin, cocaine and crystal meth — but drug trafficking experts say that every major trafficking organization in Mexico reaps signifi-

cant income from marijuana, drawing on cross-border criminal networks that carry cannabis to scores of U.S. cities. “They tend to be a cash cow for the drug trafficking organizations,” David Johnson, the assistant secretary of state for international narcotics and law enforcement affairs, said during a visit to Mexico last week. An aerial tour deep into the Sierra Madres at the side of a Mexican army general and a small army eradication unit — one of a handful that is still actively working — shows marijuana crops flourishing in valley after valley of the rugged, pinecovered region. The mountain slopes and valleys in the part of southern Chihuahua state that’s hugged by Sinaloa and Durango states are sometimes called Mexico’s Golden Triangle — after the opium-producing Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia — because of their productivity.

from people who have carried on this nonsense that it’s the Taj Mahal, the most expensive school in history.” Los Angeles has laid off about 2,200 teachers and was forced last year to cut a week from its school year. The school complex is being

built with the proceeds of a $20 billion school construction bond approved by Los Angeles voters, money that is separate from operating expenses, like teacher salaries. But that distinction has been lost as the Kennedy Schools project has become a symbol of excess by a very broken system in a very broke city. By any measure, the project stands out as grandly audacious: six different pilot schools to serve 4,200 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, built on 24 landscaped acres in the densely settled Koreatown neighborhood of Los Angeles. There is a 12foot-deep swimming pool and a faculty lounge that replicates the Ambassador’s sleek Art Deco coffee shop, right down to the soft, curved orange banquettes. Benjamin Austin, a member of the California Board of Education and head of Parent Revolution, an organization of parents, said, “The best way to memorialize Robert Kennedy is to build a great school, not a great building.” The building was delayed by

Obama to pitch a final, permanent research tax credit

Venter Continued from A1 He garnered admiration for some path-breaking ideas but also the enmity of some scientific rivals who viewed him as a publicity seeker who was polluting a scientific endeavor with commercialism. Now Venter is turning from reading the genetic code to an even more audacious goal: writing it. At Synthetic Genomics, he wants to create living creatures — bacteria, algae or even plants that are designed from the DNA up — to carry out industrial tasks and displace the fuels and chemicals that are now made from fossil fuels. “Designing and building synthetic cells will be the basis of a new industrial revolution,” Venter says. “The goal is to replace the entire petrochemical industry.” His star power has attracted $110 million in investment so far, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in research financing, making Synthetic Genomics among the wealthiest companies in the new field known as synthetic biology. “If you think of an iconic Steve Jobs character in the life sciences field, he comes to mind,” says Steve Jurvetson of the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson, which invested in Synthetic Genomics. But the path is long, with no guarantee of success. And as with DNA sequencing, Venter is stirring some unease in the synthetic biology field. Some competitors say designing entire cells is too far-fetched and that less flashy companies are ahead of Synthetic Genomics. “I don’t know how many decades his funders have given him,” says Jay Keasling, co-founder of Amyris Inc., which is trying to produce biofuels and a malaria drug by modifying existing organisms, not by creating entirely new ones. Moreover, Venter’s track record as a businessman is mixed. While Celera succeeded in sequencing the human genome, it failed to make a business of selling the genomic data, and Venter was fired by the president of Celera’s parent company, with whom he had had many disagreements. What really drives him, Venter and those close to him say, is the desire for scientific accomplishments, publications and recognition, and for the Nobel Prize that still eludes him. Business is just a means to a scientific end. “Craig is just a hopeless businessman,” Alan Walton, a venture capitalist and a friend of Venter, says only half-jokingly.

Corporate investors Yet Venter has a history of defying skeptics, and many people are betting that he will succeed this time as well. Walton, in fact, invested personally in Synthetic Genomics, and his venture firm, Oxford Bioscience Partners, recently wanted to sink a hefty sum into the company but was turned down when Venter found other investors offering better terms. Exxon Mobil is giving Synthetic Genomics $300 million in research financing to design algae that could be used to produce gasoline and diesel fuel. (The new greenhouse will be used for that research.) BP has invested in the company itself, turning to Synthetic Genomics to study microbes that might help turn coal deposits into cleaner-burning natural gas. Another investor, the Malaysian conglomerate Genting, wants to improve oil output from its palm tree plantations, working toward

By Jackie Calmes New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — As part of his pre-election push to spur the slumping economy and his party, President Barack Obama this week will ask Congress to increase and permanently extend a popular but costly tax credit for businesses’ research expenses, and to pay for it by closing other corporate tax breaks, according to administration officials. Obama is planning to outline the $100 billion proposal on Wednesday in a speech on the economy in Cleveland. The White House chose the venue partly to draw a contrast with a recent economic address there by Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, the Republican who would probably become House speaker should his party win a majority in November. Besides seeking a permanent research credit, Obama will call for expanding the simpler of two credit options available to businesses. He would increase that to 17 percent from 14 percent. The research credit, which has existed in some form since 1981, has strong bipartisan and business support. Yet the prospects for Obama’s proposal are unclear. Congress returns from a break in mid-September but will be in session only a few weeks before leaving for midterm election campaigning. Also, Republicans do not want to give Democrats boasting rights to legislative victories, even for a proposal like this one, which Republicans have long espoused. And there is the issue of the credit’s cost. It has always

Ethical considerations

what its chief executive calls a “gasoline tree.” And in a deal expected to be announced this week, the pharmaceutical giant Novartis will work with Venter to synthesize influenza virus strains as a potentially faster way to make flu vaccines. Synthetic Genomics is also exploring the use of algae to produce food oils and, possibly, other edible products. Venter muses, “What if we can make algae taste like beef?”

A different kind of engineering Scientists have long been able to insert foreign genes into organisms. Human insulin is manufactured for diabetics by bacteria containing the human insulin gene. Bacterial genes are put into corn plants to give them resistance to herbicides and insects. But until now, genetic engineering has been mainly a process of cutting and pasting a gene from one organism to another. Only one or a few genes are spliced into a cell, and considerable trial and error is required before a gene functions properly in its new host. Synthetic biology aims to allow more extensive changes, and in a more efficient and predictable way. That would make engineering a cell more like designing a bridge or a computer chip, enabling biologists to put prefabricated components together in different combinations. In the approach toward which Venter is driving, engineers would specify the entire genetic code of a cell — essentially the software that runs the cell — on computers, making design changes as if on a word processor. They would then press the “print” button, so to speak, and the DNA would be manufactured from its chemical components. The synthetic DNA would then be transplanted into an existing cell, where it would “boot up” and take control of the cell’s operations. This is essentially what Venter’s team announced in May. It syn-

Reaction was swift. “We heard from the pope and the president the same day,” Venter said. President Barack Obama immediately asked his bioethics commission to examine the potential benefits and risks of synthetic biology. The main concerns are bio-terror and bio-error — the deliberate or inadvertent creation of organisms that are toxic or ecologically harmful. The president’s action seemed to confirm concerns in the field that Venter’s bold claims would stir public fear and lead to burdensome regulation. “The only regulation we need is of my colleague’s mouth,” says Keasling of Amyris. The Vatican, somewhat surprisingly, cautiously praised the work as a potential way of treating diseases, saying it did not regard the synthesis of DNA as the creation of life. Venter says that he has long supported and paid for research into the ethics and regulation of the field, and that there should be restrictions on letting synthetic cells loose in the environment. Regardless of the work’s ethical implications, some experts say it will have limited industrial use. Synthia’s creation took 15 years and cost $40 million. The synthetic bacterium is not robust enough for industrial production of chemicals. Venter says his company will use more limited genetic engineering for its first algae-based biofuels. But he says the ability to synthesize DNA is improving rapidly. And while the first synthetic genome had “plagiarized nature,” he says scientists will eventually learn how to design genomes. Exxon is also hopeful the technique will be useful. “It can be applied to Synthia, or it can be applied to biofuels,” says Emil Jacobs, a top research executive at Exxon, who says that it will nonetheless take years and billions of dollars before algae will be producing meaningful amounts of fuel. Synthetic Genomics has about 130 employees. But much of its re-

search, including the development of the synthetic cell, is done at the J. Craig Venter Institute. Synthetic Genomics pays for about 25 of the institute’s roughly 300 researchers, and has rights to their results. The rest of the institute’s funding comes mainly from federal grants and its endowment. Venter, who turns 64 in October, has not worked directly with test tubes or gene sequencers for decades. He only charts the course and steers. “He knows exactly what we’re doing every day,” says Hamilton Smith, his longtime research partner and a Nobel laureate who co-founded Synthetic Genomics with Venter; Smith still does work in the lab. “Craig tends to come in when things get stalled and points us in the right direction.” For now, Venter is where he wants to be. With most of the company’s money coming from corporate partners rather than from impatient venture capitalists, he says he is under less pressure to deliver in the short term. And he says he is in greater control of his own destiny than in previous business ventures. “Science is the business right now,” he said. “If the science works, the business works, and vice versa.”

been passed as a temporary credit because of the revenue losses; Congress has extended it 13 times for as little as six months, and the uncertainty has long vexed businesses. It lapsed after 2009, and a proposal to renew it for this year is pending in the Senate. Making the credit permanent would cost an estimated $85 billion over 10 years, and expanding it would cost $15 billion more, according to the administration. Doing so, however, would end one of the longest-running budget gimmicks in town: Presidents and Congresses of both parties have called for a permanent extension but ultimately kept it temporary to reduce deficit projections. Based on that history, the Treasury would probably give up as much as $100 billion in the coming decade in any case. Under Democrats’ pay-as-yougo law, however, the full 10-year cost would have to be offset by other savings. Obama will propose that Congress adopt some of the provisions proposed in his annual budget to close corporate tax loopholes. Most of them, which would apply to multinational corporations’ overseas income and to oil and gas companies, among others, have languished in Congress because of business opposition. In effect, the administration is asking business groups and their Republican allies to choose — at a time of high deficits — which breaks they prefer; the research credit has long been a priority.

“We’ll always be more expensive because we offer only upper-division courses and graduate programs. But ... our model with COCC is one way that makes it much cheaper for students and no more expensive for the state. So it’s a win on affordability.” — Becky Johnson, vice president, OSU-Cascades Campus

Higher ed Continued from A1 According to the report, 380,000 students were served by the 17 community colleges and seven universities around Oregon last year. But the committee admits college popularity has increased while funding has decreased, making it difficult for schools to continue providing quality education to all students. As a result, the reset committee agrees that the time is ripe for redefining the relationship between the state and the public university system. “It can be done in a way that maintains our efforts to increase access, affordability, student success and accountability,” the report states.

Funding flexibility In the report, the committee recommends allowing a greater flexibility for the Oregon University System. Instead of handing funds to the universities for specific line items, it would switch to funding in block grants. That would allow universities more freedom to decide how best to spend their money. As funding stands now, universities receive money but the amount can change from year to year; the state receives a line-byline breakdown of how that money will be spent in advance, and any funds the university holds over to the next year can be taken away and returned to the state. David Yaden, a member of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education who also served on the governor’s reset cabinet, likened it to parents giving a child an allowance. “It’s like, ‘Yes, you can have an allowance, but there’s a lot of uncertainty about that, and there’s also a lot of rules and hoops you have to jump through,” he said. Under the reset recommendation, universities would be able to use funding as it sees fit, but at the end of the year the state could take a look at the way it was spent and make sure it was done responsibly. “You’d still have to be accountable to mom and dad, but you’d have more responsibility,” Yaden said. Yaden said it’s not fair to universities that after they found ways to be more efficient they had to operate in limbo for months, because administrators couldn’t be sure they’d get to keep the funds. “There was a real risk until Senate President (Peter) Courtney stepped in, that the Legislature would say, ‘That’s state money, and we’ll use it for what we need it for,’” Yaden said. “We’d become more efficient through better use and control of revenue and cost.” Because there’s not more funding to give to growing universities, OSU-Cascades Vice President Becky Johnson said it seems fair to allow the schools to handle their own revenues and costs. “I think it’s a compelling argument, but I don’t know what the political reality is,” she said.

Student success If funding were more flexible, Yaden believes it would allow the state more freedom to ask for certain expectations, like increased graduation rates. “We’ve got to increasingly move toward a pretty sharp-eyed look at the cost of producing people with degrees,” he said. “It’s very clear that we have substantial work to do to make students more successful in moving through their degree, either in shortening the time it takes them or making sure they don’t drop out short of the degree.” That plays into the reset cabinet’s recommendation to start a “student success initiative,” which would push schools to improve attendance and completion. It would mean changing funding formulas to provide more funding to schools that graduate students at higher levels, instead of just focusing on enrollment. “The main takeaway is the focus on student success, which I totally support,” Johnson said. “I support it with the caveat that it’s hard to pick the right outcome metrics.” For Central Oregon Community College, the idea of tying success to funding is both a good thing and a bad thing. “I think it’s appropriate nationally that we look more at outcomes and not just inputs,” said COCC President Jim Middleton. “I support it, but there is a danger of that being a myopic view of looking only at degree completion. The community college mission is

much broader.” Middleton pointed to the influx of COCC students in their 40s and 50s who have returned for a few courses that make them more employable. “If we’re only looking at degree completion, those students will be failures,” he said. “It’s appropriate that it receive attention but if it becomes the be-all, end-all, it misses the point of what community colleges can do.” But Yaden disagrees. “Some people say that at least they got some education, but we don’t say that about high school. We call it a dropout,” he said. Tying outcomes like graduation rates or other successes to funding, Yaden said, could be individualized for each school to take into account the types of students being educated and other differences. “Comparably, the University of Oregon has a very high graduation success rate compared to Portland State (University), so designing a system that’s paying more attention to outcomes, so that it doesn’t work against institutions that are dealing with the hardest to educate, is a tricky system,” he said. Yaden said schools could use benchmarks to look for progress, or compare peer institutions when determining which schools get greater funding.

the Oregon University System to take into account overall affordability of a school when determining tuition hikes. “The state and need-based aid program is operated through an entirely different institution,” Yaden said. “We do not have an overall affordability framework that we look at.” Yaden admitted this would be challenging; few states have tried something similar. But he believes it would help students. Middleton said he wished issues specific to community colleges were part of the reset recommendations. “I think they did miss the opportunity to really both recognize and tap into Oregon’s community colleges and their potential to give potentially the greatest return on investment in terms of jobs and increased income per state dollar spent,” he said. But Middleton said the fact that there were no recommendations specific to community colleges could be a good thing. “It is a recognition, fairly broadly, that we’re working well, and the reset report was predominantly what needs to be reset,” he said. “At one level, it’s not an insult to be left out. To some extent, it’s saying we’re operating well, and we don’t need to hit the reset button.”

With war over, the dangerous, difficult work begins in Iraq By Ned Parker Los Angeles Times

BAGHDAD — In a crystalchandeliered palace once occupied by Saddam Hussein, American and Iraqi leaders gathered a week ago for the latest ceremony to herald an independent, democratic Iraq. But in the same city, both inside and outside the domed palace and the fortress walls of the Green Zone, a more sober mood prevailed. As the U.S. combat mission officially ended, Iraqi politicians, security officers and civil servants spoke of a daunting series of challenges they face between now and the end of 2011, when the last of nearly 50,000 remaining U.S. troops assisting Iraqi forces are scheduled to have departed. At the top of the list: how to combat steadily rising violence and how to cope with the lack of a new government, six months after inconclusive national elections were held. Rather than move forward, parliament has met just once, and Iraq’s caretaker government has stalled on projects aimed at improving lives. “There are no decisions. We are just hanging now, and we have stopped everything. We are waiting for the government to make decisions,” said Ghazi Abdul Aziz Essa, director-general of Baghdad’s main power plant. “The delay affects the system

“The war for Iraq, who is going to control Iraq, is just getting under way.” — Senior U.S. military officer very badly. It’s not good for us.” After a government is formed, many emphasize, a mountain of problems remain to be dealt with. Among them: reconciliation of Iraq’s ethnic and religious groups; the splitting of oil revenues and the disputed ownership of lands now controlled by Arabs and Kurds; and an equitable revision of the nation’s constitution. “If they do not have faith in each other, it will be a weak government. Decisions will be blocked. It will be a weak, democratic system,” said longtime Kurdish politician Mahmoud Othman, who served in Iraq’s Governing Council under the Americans. “If the groups don’t trust each other, the possibility comes up of (even more) violence. I hope it won’t be there, but we have to put it in consideration.” Even Iraqis who wholeheartedly believe the war was worth the cost of more than 112,000 Iraqi civilian deaths, along with more than 4,400 American fatalities, still voice trepidation about the American withdrawal.

Maj. Gen. Noaman Jawad, the head of an elite police brigade, swears that the world for his children will be far better than what they would have known under Hussein. But even he remains skeptical about his own safety when the final American soldiers leave at the end of 2011 under a joint agreement reached during the Bush presidency. “If I have a 95 percent threat on my life now, it will be a million percent when the Americans leave.” Othman also spoke in grim terms. He bluntly criticized the American drawdown as a domestic calculation for President Barack Obama. He emphasized that he agreed with the goal of removing American troops but that the timing was wrong. “If they could haves Iraqis to form their government it would have been better,” he said. “But Obama made a promise. ... Elections are approaching, and the Democrats aren’t expected to do very well. Obama wants more support from the people.” A senior U.S. military officer, who was not authorized to talk publicly, agreed violence is bound to continue. “The war for Iraq, who is going to control Iraq, is just getting under way,” the officer said. “It’s too early to declare complete success. ... In the end, if this doesn’t succeed, maybe we destroyed Iraq and imperiled the region.”

Johnson said many of the reset recommendations have pieces in common with the Higher Education Assessment Team’s proposal to increase access and create a four-year experience for students by combining aspects of OSUCascades and COCC. “We’ll always be more expensive because we offer only upperdivision courses and graduate programs,” Johnson said. “But Central Oregon is growing too fast. We’re too important to the whole state to say Bend doesn’t need higher education. … And our model with COCC is one way that makes it much cheaper for students and no more expensive for the state. So it’s a win on affordability.” For example, a student can take the first two years of classes at COCC at $70 per credit; at the University of Oregon, it costs about $182 per credit. UO estimates a full-time, on-campus resident student will spend nearly $21,000 to attend in 2010-11; COCC estimates a full-time, in-district student would spend about $885 per term. Even going full time through the summer, that student would only spend about $3,540, plus housing and other costs. It’s that kind of cooperation that Yaden thinks more schools, particularly the far-flung or regional ones, will have to do in the future. He’d like to see universities work out operating agreements with other institutions such as the one between OSU-Cascades and COCC. “The situation we can’t be in is ignoring, from the standpoint of the state taxpayer, that if it’s radically more expensive to educate somebody at a particular school or in a particular field, are we just going to do it blindly?” Yaden said. “At least we can be very clear about making those decisions and looking at all alternatives.”

More with less Another recommendation designed to help create efficiencies in higher education is by overhauling the way need-based financial aid is doled out to students. “We’re in a situation nationwide where every single institution of higher education is trying to find out the magic mix of what they can do, in the face of decreasing state support, with philanthropy and tuition,” Yaden said. Everyone wants to keep tuition low, Yaden said, but it’s important to keep it affordable while still allowing universities to earn money and run quality programs. “It’s been a bit of a blunt instrument to try to keep college affordable through only the mechanism of keeping tuition low,” he said, “while at (the) same time decreasing state support. We’re asking universities to do more and more with less and less.” Yaden said this will likely be the most challenging of the recommendations. He wants to see each school be able to tell students of varying income levels exactly what the potential cost would be for them to attend. Instead of simply knowing the tuition costs, as well as the possible funding they might get from state or other financial aid, a student would find out the expected cost to attend different institutions well ahead of enrolling.

Airfare Continued from A1 The price of round-trip coach tickets for a flight between Chicago and Atlanta, for instance, was about $250 this summer, a $50 increase over last year. A round-trip ticket from New York to Paris, which sold for less than $700 last year, cost more than $1,000 this summer. While experts expect price increases to moderate in coming months when travel traditionally slows, travelers should brace for more increases for the year-end holidays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My advice now is donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t procrastinate if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to travel over the holidays,â&#x20AC;? said Rick Seaney, the chief executive of FareCompare.com, a travel site. The rise in fares can seem especially steep because it follows a low point for the industry. As the economy contracted last year, consumers cut back on spending, and air travel collapsed, pushing prices down to their lowest levels in a decade. Those low fares put immense pressure on the airlines, which had already been struggling with high energy prices.

Airlines bouncing back Airline executives have since been preaching the need to reduce the number of seats they offer, either through cutbacks or consolidation. That thinking led to the merger between United Airlines and Continental Airlines, expected to be complete Oct. 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airlines are continuing to show voluntary capacity discipline for the first time, not just this decade, but really since the industry was deregulated in 1978,â&#x20AC;? said Hunter Keay, an airline analyst at the firm Stifel Nicolaus. Of course, the health of the economy remains the wild card in the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to improve revenue. If the economy takes a turn for the worse, fewer people will be flying, which, in turn, would push down prices. In the meantime, airlines have seen some marked improvements in their bottom line. The average yield â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or the price paid by one passenger to fly one mile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was 14.95 cents in July, the secondhighest price for that month in the past decade, according to data compiled by the Air Transport Association. (The peak for July was 15.56 cents in 2008.) Passenger revenue rose by 20 percent, marking the seventh straight month of revenue growth, the industry trade group said in its latest monthly report. Travelers like Damon Myers certainly have noticed the higher prices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to get a cheap ticket these days,â&#x20AC;? said Myers, a technology consultant from New York, on his way to pick up a friend at the airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fares are going up. And on most flights now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear the announcement, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a packed flight today.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Airlines declined to comment about pricing, citing antitrust concerns. But one executive said that while the airlines have not been able to impose fare increases across the board this year, they have been able to capitalize on the return of business travelers. With more of those higher-paying customers, the airlines were able to reduce the number of cheap seats available, raising their overall revenue per flight.

Fees, fees, fees At the same time, the airlines have also raised an array of fees and other extra charges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything that you can charge a fee for in the process of flying, there now is a fee for,â&#x20AC;? Seaney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airlines have been wanting to do this for years.â&#x20AC;? The cornucopia of new fees can feel maddeningly complicated. Most airlines now charge for food or drinks, checked bags or flying on standby. Changing tickets costs $50 to $250. JetBlue sells a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sleep setâ&#x20AC;? containing a pillow and a blanket for $7; Continental charges $20 to provide a receipt if the request is made more than seven days after a flight. In the past two months, American Airlines has found a variety of new services worthy of fees. For $9, passengers can be among the first to board, a perk these days as travelers bring more bags than will fit in overhead compartments. For $25 or $49, passengers can double or triple the number of miles they earn on a flight. And for fees ranging from $19 to $39, American allows passengers to book seats in one of the first two rows of seats in the coach cabin. These â&#x20AC;&#x153;express exitâ&#x20AC;? seats allow passengers to be among the first to board and get out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Airlines are getting increasingly creative in charging for items they once provided for free,â&#x20AC;? said Jami Counter, the senior director of TripAdvisor Flights, a Web flight search tool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For con-

sumers, the result is opaque.â&#x20AC;? Matthew Paulsen, an American who lives in Argentina, said he recently balked at having to pay $3.50 for snacks on a flight from Miami to Newark. So, for a flight from Buenos Aires to New York, he chose LAN Airlines over American Airlines, though both sold tickets for the flight, because American charges $7 for drinks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want the perks,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want the blanket. I want the snacks. I want the free drinks, without having to worry about

paying for one or two beers.â&#x20AC;? But as the fees have multiplied, airlinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fortunes have improved. Four of the top five established airlines turned a profit in the second quarter this year. In July, Delta Air Lines, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top carrier, reported its biggest quarterly profit in a decade, $467 million for the second quarter. Its revenue from passengers, which includes both higher ticket prices and more revenue from fees, jumped 19 percent. It filled 85 percent of its seats in that period, a much higher figure

than the industry is used to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operational performance has significantly improved,â&#x20AC;? said William Swelbar, a research engineer at the International Center for Air Transportation at MIT. But Swelbar said the airlines might be hard-pressed to hold on to some of their recent gains if the economy slows down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as I want to believe that a secular trend of profitability is under way, I am not so sure this is all behind us, given the fragility of this recovery.â&#x20AC;?

Newman

MRI shows a growing tumor Joanna Newman, 21, has a tumor growing along her spine. If the tumor, which is not cancerous, continues to grow, it may paralyze the Redmond High graduate.

Continued from A1 “When I found out I wasn’t crazy, I was relieved,” Newman said. A 2008 surgery removed some of the tumor and seven vertebrae. That initial effort to relieve Newman’s pain failed, and she now faces the possibility that she will become paralyzed. The 6-inch tumor appears like a large sliver in MRI scans, which also show a gap along Newman’s spine without bones. These are Newman’s two choices, as she sees them: She can do nothing while the tumor continues to grow, or she can undergo another surgery to straighten her spine and remove the tumor. With the first choice, doctors have told her the tumor will eventually paralyze her. The second choice, involving a complicated surgery, also carries a chance of paralysis. “Anything that gets me out of this, I’ll give it a shot,” Newman said. “I don’t feel like it’s OK for a 21-year-old to feel like 70.”

LEFT: For the past two years, Joanna Newman, pictured with Cutter at 4 Star Stables near Tumalo, has struggled with pain caused by an intradural lipoma, a tumor. She hopes to soon have surgery to remove the tumor and correct a severe curvature of her spine. The surgery carries the risk of paralysis, but if Newman does nothing, the tumor will gradually paralyze her anyway.

Money and the surgery Newman has decided to get the operation. But because her insurance coverage is provided under the Oregon Health Plan, she has not finalized a way to pay for the out-of-state surgery. The only surgeon she has found willing and able to do the job is Dr. Dean Chou at the University of California, San Francisco. She has struggled to find a surgeon because of the rarity of her particular condition. There may be three surgeons in Oregon who are technically able to perform the surgery, according to Dr. Jung Yoo, a spine surgeon and chairman of the orthopedics department at Oregon Health & Science University. Whether they are willing to take on this complex surgery is another question, he said. A case like Newman’s might come up once every five years in Oregon, and surgeons here don’t have much exposure to it. If Newman has found a willing and capable surgeon, OHP should allow that to go forward, Yoo said. “It’s a fairly high-risk surgery, no matter how you slice it,” Yoo said. Newman is uncertain she can get OHP to pay for out-of-state surgery anytime soon. If OHP won’t pay, Newman needs to come up with the $60,000 the California hospital requires for the surgery. OHP does pay for out-of-state procedures in some situations, but a patient has to receive approval before the plan will cover the surgery. The service has to be unavailable in Oregon, according to Lynn Read, a deputy administrator in the Oregon Department of Human Services. OHP is in the early stages of deciding if it will pay for her surgery, Newman said. OHP, for example, has begun checking Chou’s credentials, according to Newman. Read could not comment on a particular patient’s case, but she said that, in emergencies, approval can happen within days. “It’s really just a series of things that have to be looked at before authorization,” Read said. Newman is stubborn and not always patient, according to both her and her husband. So she’s working along parallel paths. While attempting to get OHP’s approval, Newman also hopes to raise the money herself. Newman’s father has offered to pay $20,000, and her family has set up the Joanna Fund at U.S. Bank. If OHP agrees to pay for the surgery, she plans to help others in her situation. “I’ll find somewhere to donate it for other people suffering with spinal conditions,” Newman said. Newman is done waiting and

wants to find a way to pay for it soon. “Right now, I feel like I’m wasting time. I could be recovering now,” she said. Chou said he has performed several surgeries similar to what he has proposed for Newman He plans to insert rods and pins to straighten Newman’s spine and remove the tumor. Paralysis is a possibility in the surgery, but Chou said he was confident Newman would fully recover and eventually live without her symptoms. Yoo, of OHSU, said the surgery was so rare it was difficult to accurately say how often the surgery fails. Newman’s condition, Chou said, was unusual in two ways. First, to have a tumor as large as Newman’s is rare for someone of her age. And the curve of her spine is dramatic for someone so young. “What (her condition) does is it bends her spinal cord like a bow string,” Chou said. “She has two things that are very complex.” Without an operation, it’s difficult to know just when paralysis could begin to set in, Chou said. The onset, though, would likely be gradual. “The longer you wait, the more damage that can happen,” Chou said. “And it’s irreversible.”

The pain When Newman is sitting, she looks composed, with an almost stern posture. There is no sign of the pain — until she stands. And when she stood at the end

of a recent interview, her body was stiff and her face focused in concentration. Back pain, though, has not been her only problem. Newman’s torso, particularly her left side, sometimes goes numb and her hands chill, to the point of turning blue, she said. “Anything she does, she’s just in extraordinary pain,” said her husband, Branden Newman, 23. “It’s really taken a toll on her ... and that’s been hard because I can’t do anything about it. I can’t fix her.” The two have been married for about three years, and Newman has been in pain for much of that time. She has been forced to give up some of her favorite physical activities, including wakeboarding and horseback riding. Even the most mundane things have been difficult. Newman has often been unable to sleep in her bed — lying flat causes too much pain — and so she sometimes has to try to sleep in a recliner. Sleeping has gotten easier since her diagnosis because she now has prescription painkillers and sleeping pills. “I’d lay down in bed, and I’d be in tears,” she said. Driving to Corvallis, where the couple now lives, can cause her more pain that usual. Prescribed painkillers are often her only relief. Branden Newman, who works with his father in a cabinetry business, said he’s in awe of his wife’s determination to move on with each day, to do her best to ignore her pain.

After Joanna Newman graduated from Redmond High in 2007, she spent two years at Central Oregon Community College. She won a full scholarship to OSU, where she is about to begin her first semester as a pre-med student. Jeremy Rubenstein taught Newman — at the time her last name was Dvorak — in honors English at Redmond High. He remembers her as focused beyond her years. She was a reserved student, but when she did speak in class, everyone listened closely. “She didn’t often offer up stuff,” Rubenstein said. “When she did, it was very well thought out, very poignant, and I think the kids heard that.” That focus should serve Newman well as she faces both her condition and her studies. Newman said the tumor has steeled her resolve to become a doctor. Long interested in going into medicine, Newman believes she has more compassion for people who are hurting. She believes stem cell research holds the greatest possibility to help people heal

in the future and has chosen that as her field. “I think it’s made me more mentally tough. I can be a doctor. I can go to medical school,” Newman said. If all goes well with her surgery, a full recovery could take a year, she said. Even so, she plans to continue going to school as long as possible. But both she and her husband have considered the possibility

that everything may not go as planned, that she could end up paralyzed. “Either way, I’m going to be prepared for it,” Brendan Newman said. “If she comes out of surgery paralyzed, I’m going to be prepared to take care of her for the rest of her life.” Patrick Cliff can be reached at 541-633-2161 or at pcliff@bendbulletin.com.

Muslims in U.S. await tough 9/11 anniversary The Associated Press NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; American Muslims are boosting security at mosques, seeking help from leaders of other faiths and airing ads underscoring their loyalty to the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all ahead of a 9/11 anniversary they fear could bring more trouble for their communities. Their goal is not only to protect Muslims, but also to prevent them from retaliating if provoked. One Sept. 11 protest in New York against the proposed mosque near ground zero is expected to feature Geert Wilders, the aggressively anti-Islam Dutch lawmaker. The same day in Gainesville, Fla., the Dove World Outreach Center plans to burn copies of the Quran. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can expect crazy people out there will do things, but we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to create a hysteriaâ&#x20AC;? among Muslims, said Victor Begg of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Michigan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americans, in general, they support pluralism. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of misinformation out there that has created confusion.â&#x20AC;?

Summit this week On Tuesday, the Islamic Society of North America will hold a summit of Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders in Washington â&#x20AC;&#x153;to address the growing tide of fear and intoleranceâ&#x20AC;? in the furor over the planned New York mosque. Islamic centers in many cities are intensifying surveillance and keeping closer contact with law enforcement. Adding to Muslim concern is a fluke of the lunar calendar: Eid al-Fitr, a joyous holiday marking the end of Ramadan, will fall around Sept. 11 this year. Muslim leaders fear festivities could be misinterpreted as celebrating the 2001 terror strikes.

Casualties Continued from A1 Several recent opinion polls found that more than half of those surveyed oppose the war, with the high casualty rate among concerns most often cited. American combat deaths reached 60 in June, 65 in July, and 55 in August, according to icasualties.org. That is by far the highest three-month total of the war. Military Families Speak Out, an anti-war group of families of service members in Afghanistan and Iraq, has called for an end to the war. At the same time, families like the Osborns, who describe themselves as conservative, are questioning the way the war is being waged. In most instances, the rules of engagement require U.S. forces to identify an enemy threat before firing and to withhold fire if civilians are close by. The rules also place restrictions on close air support and artillery, prompting complaints from some service members that their lives are put at risk against an enemy that fights by no rules at all. After Bill Osborn publicly criticized the rules of engagement just before his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wake, he said, other families of service members killed or serving in Afghanistan contacted him to express similar concerns. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to end the war, Osborn said, but to change the way itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being fought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our soldiers are forced to fight with one hand tied behind their backs. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not allowed to take care of business â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they know it,â&#x20AC;? Bill Osborn said in his living room, where his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bronze Star, Purple Heart and campaign ribbons are on display. Debbie Morris, of Arnold, Calif., who also lost her son in Afghanistan in June, said the rules of engagement protect Afghan civilians at the expense of U.S. troops. She blames the rules, in part, for the death of her son, Marine Lance Cpl. Gavin Brummund, 22, from a roadside bomb. If the rules prevent troops from aggressively pursuing Afghan militants who plot attacks against them while posing as civilians, â&#x20AC;&#x153;then the rules arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working, and why are we even there?â&#x20AC;? Morris said. On June 27, the Osborns wrote an impassioned e-mail to Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Afghanistan. They described how Ben, 27, volunteered to man the machine gun on an armored

vehicle headed out on a patrol in Kunar province on June 15. Their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit of 20 men was ambushed by a Taliban force of 70 to 100 fighters, the e-mail said. According to the Osborns, who said they talked with members of their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit, Ben had to wait to return fire until ordered to do so. He got off 10 rounds before he was shot and killed, they said. The rules of engagement â&#x20AC;&#x153;led to the demise of our son ... and other warriors like him,â&#x20AC;? the e-mail said. The Osborns asked Petraeus to revise the rules and lift restrictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning the hearts and minds of the Afghans is not whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for America,â&#x20AC;? they wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are at war. The rules of engagement must be to empower our soldiers, not to give aid and comfort to the enemy.â&#x20AC;?

Petraeus responded within minutes, the Osborns said. His e-mail offered condolences and noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;commanders have a moral imperative to ensure that we provide every possible element of support to our troopers when they get into a tight spot.â&#x20AC;? The general added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I will ensure that we meet that imperative.â&#x20AC;? Petraeus, who wrote the militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counterinsurgency doctrine with a focus on minimizing civilian casualties, has said he is reviewing the rules of engagement. Petraeus assumed command July 4 after the ouster of Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who had tightened the rules when he took command in June 2009.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The good warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; no more Military Families Speak Out has long demanded an end to the war in Iraq but for years refrained from demanding an end to the Afghanistan conflict â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which many members considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;the good war.â&#x20AC;? After U.S. combat deaths in Afghanistan rose early last year, the group formally called for ending that war. More families have joined the group since casualties jumped this summer, said Nancy Lessin, the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-founder. Military Families Speak Out, founded in 2002, represents 4,000 military families, with 25 to 30 chapters

nationwide, Lessin said. The group has no formal position on the rules of engagement, said Paula Rogovin, whose son is a Marine captain who served in Iraq. But bringing the troops home would eliminate any dangers they face as a result of the restrictions, she said. By contrast, the Osborns say they believe the war in Afghanistan must be fought â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and won. But they want it waged more aggressively. Soon after Ben deployed in April, he began telling his parents that the rules of engagement were too restrictive, and were putting him and his fellow soldiers at risk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said he felt more like a Peace Corps worker than a warrior,â&#x20AC;? his father said. After Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, his comrades told his father they had the same concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that if Ben had been able to fire spontaneously, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be alive today,â&#x20AC;? Bill Osborn added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I do know that he would have had a much better chance of surviving by being able to defend himself quickly.â&#x20AC;? Ben left behind three brothers, a sister and a widow, Nicole, whom he had married in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late for us and for Ben,â&#x20AC;?

Uncle Sam wants to give free, no-strings-attached money to about 145,000 troops who were involuntarily kept on duty after the 9/11 attacks but is having trouble persuading them that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a gimmick. In October, Congress OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d retroactive bonus pay for military personnel who were forced to remain on duty beyond their original discharge date, a controversial policy known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;stoploss,â&#x20AC;? an emergency measure to keep deployed units in the field or retain specialists whose skills cannot be easily replaced. Lawmakers approved back pay of $500 for each month of involuntary service; the average lump-sum due is between $3,500 and $3,800. To get the cash, an application must be submitted by Oct. 21; only about a third of those eligible have handed in paperwork. The military has mailed letters to those who are eligible and mounted an extensive publicity campaign, but the message isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sinking in. Congress allocated $534 million for the program; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $324 million left unclaimed. Many vets have ignored the letters, forgotten about filing the paperwork or concluded that the deal is too good to be true, said Lerners Hebert, acting director of officer and enlisted personnel management at the Pentagon. Between September 2001 and September 2009, the military used its â&#x20AC;&#x153;stop-lossâ&#x20AC;? authority to force 186,000 troops to remain on active duty. The application is online at www.defense.gov/stoploss â&#x20AC;&#x201D; officials said the application is required by law, and they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t simply mail out unsolicited checks.

Stomping New elementary to open in La Pine grapes to help It will be the 1st new school there in 16 years crush poverty in the region By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

It’s been a long time since La Pine got a new school. In fact, it’s been 16 years. But that will change Tuesday, when Rosland

Elementary will open its doors to students for the first time. The new elementary school will be the final large-scale Bend-La Pine Schools project from its $119 million bond passed by voters in 2006. The

$10.8 million school will also give educators more space after years of overcrowding forced fifth-graders to take classes at the middle school. Pat Yaeger, who will serve as Rosland Elementary’s principal this year after 15 years as principal of La Pine Middle School, said the facility is an important new addition.

“When (residents) come here, they’ll think, ‘Wow, this is ours,’” she said. “There has been that sentiment in the time I’ve been there. ... We’ve worked a lot to not have that feeling, that stepsister-type attitude. This just cements the fact that with the bond, here’s a new school.” See Rosland / B5

Benefit at Maragas Winery draws an expected 400 people By Hillary Borrud The Bulletin

CULVER — Owen Goodrich, 9, of Redmond, has more than a decade to go until he can legally sip wine and learn first-hand about tannins and terroir. Yet Goodrich got a taste of the work that goes into making wine Saturday, when he helped stomp grapes at a fundraiser for the Partnership to End Poverty, at Maragas Winery in Culver. Goodrich was one of the first people to climb into a vat and mash the grapes with his feet, and he returned later for another try, to test whether the consistency had changed. “It was more like a solid, then it became a liquid,” Goodrich observed. Doug Maragas, who owns the winery with his wife, Gina, said this was the first grape stomp fundraiser, and he plans to hold more in the future. Doug Maragas is a member of the board of directors at the Partnership to End Poverty, and he said the organization’s work is especially important in the current economy. The partnership’s mission is to improve the economic situations of low-income people in Central Oregon. An example of the group’s work is Project Connect, a one-stop event the partnership organizes to connect homeless people and others who are struggling with services. “I believe in the partnership and what they’re doing, especially now,” Maragas said. The winery’s parking lot was full of cars by early Saturday afternoon, and Maragas said he expected about 400 people to attend the fundraiser. Many sat outside, where they sipped wine, ate food sold onsite by the Terrebonne Depot, and listened to jazz from the band Two Thirds Trio. Donna Weaver, 57, of Crooked River Ranch, said she came to the event with her daughters because it helped a good cause, and she enjoys the wines from Maragas Winery. “The scenery here is just awesome,” Weaver added.

Barrel-aged beer (and bourbon) at Bend’s Little Woody festival

By Scott Hammers • The Bulletin

few years back, Patio Shea was taking a break from his duties in the cellar at Deschutes Brewery when he wandered out back to take a look

at the Old Mill District. Scanning over the shops that stand where mills once churned out timber by the trainload, Shea got to thinking about how Bend was built on wood. As a brewer, his thoughts quickly shifted to wood-aged beer. Shea’s idea was the genesis of The Little Woody, a festival dedicated to wood-aged beers, held Friday and Saturday on the lawn out-

It’s been there for 3 decades, now with subdivisions nearby By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Sylvia Whitmore enters one of the kennels housing her miniature Australian shepherds on her property outside of Prineville. Whitmore has owned the property since the late 1970s and has run a breeding kennel with about 50 dogs on her property.

For Sylvia Whitmore, a 69-year-old Crook County resident, the story is this: She was here first, and new neighbors came in and asked her to change her ways. But her neighbor, who bought land near her to retire on, sees it more like this: He can’t enjoy his property as the law intended because of Whitmore’s barking dogs.

On about 60 acres, 12 miles outside of Prineville, Whitmore has a dog kennel with about 50 dogs. She raises miniature Australian shepherds to sell all over the world. When her family bought the property, there was barely a neighbor. Now, her property is surrounded by subdivisions. The Crook County Planning Commission recently gave Whitmore a permit to continue to operate her kennel under a 1973 zoning ordinance that allowed the property to be used for animal husbandry.

Oregon liquor interests push for looser rules By David Steves Eugene Register-Guard

SPRINGFIELD — The stylized image of a martini glass on Saleem Noorani’s “Cork & Bottle Shoppe” sign beckons passers-by to stop in for cocktail supplies. For would-be customers who aren’t driving by his Gateway area store, Noorani snagged the catchy Internet domain name, oregonliquor.com, to promote his premium spirits and cigars. And like all good entrepreneurs, Noorani has expanded his

Dogs Continued from B1 The decision is being appealed to Crook County Court by Richard Siegert. On behalf of Siegert, Will Van Vactor, Siegert’s attorney, said Whitmore has been using her property unlawfully for about 30 years and now it’s time to enforce the law. Siegert declined to comment. Van Vactor said his client bought the property knowing it was zoned for residential use. He expected the uses on his neighbor’s property would be residential. His client didn’t notice the barking when he purchased the property because the dogs primarily bark at night, a point Whitmore disputes.

business. He opened his Springfield shop in 2005 to build on the success of his original store by the same name in Corvallis. None of these moves was legal a decade ago, before Noorani and other “liquor agents” as they’re officially designated, started pushing state regulators to relax some of the rules. But for all the modernization Noorani has brought to his business, it’s still in keeping with the “control system” in place since 1933, when Oregon began emerg-

ing from the Prohibition Era. Noorani would like to see the state introduce more market reforms than just the ones he’s successfully pushed for in the past decade. But after seven years, he says patience is a necessity. The winds of much more sweeping change are beginning to kick up around Oregon’s system of controlling the sale of distilled spirits. In Washington state, voters this fall will decide on two competing initiatives that would privatize liquor sales. One is being

pushed by Costco and the other by the state’s liquor distributors. If either becomes law, then Oregon would be the West Coast’s only remaining “control state” where the sale of booze is concerned. And that could lead Oregon to reconsider its 77-year-old liquorcontrol system, said Marshall Coba, a Salem lobbyist who represents the Associated Liquor Stores of Oregon. “I think what comes out of the campaign in Washington is going to flow into Oregon,” he said.

“She’s had a good run,” Van Vactor said. “She’s been unlawfully running a kennel for over 30 years, and it’s finally come to a point. “The law should apply equally to all property owners of Crook County,” Van Vactor said. Van Vactor doesn’t agree with the Crook County Planning Commission’s interpretation of the 1973 code that animal husbandry includes having a kennel. Whitmore said she never had any problems with her neighbors complaining before Siegert moved to the area. Now, she’s been cited twice for being a public nuisance and had to pay an approximate $200 fine each time. She said she’s trying to get the number of her dogs down to

around 20, but it takes time. “I don’t want to be a problem,” she said. “I didn’t intend to be a problem. They are being unreasonable. They bark, I go out and yell at them and they quit.” Another man who lives near Whitmore wrote the Crook County Planning Commission a letter. Ted Nelson described a scene where he and his wife were outside enjoying the sunset when the dogs started barking. He said they didn’t stop for an hour. The couple went inside their motor home, which sits on the property, shut all the doors and started the fans. “I bought this land to fulfill a 30-year dream to live in the country outside of Prineville,” Nelson wrote. “I understand that some folks feel that since the kennel was

here first, that the owner should be exempt from being held accountable for the noise created by the numerous dogs. I don’t understand this logic. The issue is the owner’s inability or unwillingness to keep the barking under control. If I, as a property owner in the vicinity of the kennel, made the type, loudness and duration of noise, I would be held accountable for any actions and rightly so,” Nelson wrote. The Crook County Court is scheduled to hear the case next month. “We bought this place, and there was no one up here,” Whitmore said.

Terrorists attack the Israeli delegation at the Munich Olympics on this day in 1972 The Associated Press Today is Sunday, Sept. 5, the 248th day of 2010. There are 117 days left in the year. TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Sept. 5, 1972, Black September terrorists attacked the Israeli delegation at the Munich Olympic games; 11 Israelis, five guerrillas and a police officer were killed in the siege. ON THIS DATE In 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia. In 1793, the Reign of Terror began during the French Revolution as the National Convention instituted harsh measures to repress counter-revolutionary activities. In 1836, Sam Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas. In 1914, the First Battle of the Marne, resulting in a FrenchBritish victory over Germany, began during World War I. In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring U.S. neutrality in the conflict. In 1945, Japanese-American Iva Toguri D’Aquino, suspected of being wartime broadcaster “Tokyo Rose,” was arrested in Yokohama. (D’Aquino was later convicted of treason and served six years in prison; she was pardoned in 1977 by President Gerald Ford.) In 1958, the novel “Doctor Zhivago” by Russian author Boris Pasternak was published in the United States for the first time.

T O D AY I N H I S T O R Y In 1960, at the Rome Olympics, American boxer Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali) defeated Zbigniew Pietrzykowski of Poland to win the light-heavyweight gold medal; Wilma Rudolph of the United States won the second of her three gold medals with the 200-meter sprint. In 1975, President Gerald Ford escaped an attempt on his life by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, Calif. In 1997, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II broke the royal reticence over Princess Diana’s death, delivering a televised address in which she called her former daughter-in-law “a remarkable person.” Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India, at age 87; conductor Sir Georg Solti died in France at age 84. TEN YEARS AGO On the eve of congressional hearings into the recall of 6.5 million Firestone tires, Ford Motor Co. released new documents to bolster its contention that it had no reason to doubt the safety of the tires being investigated in 88 deaths. FIVE YEARS AGO President George W. Bush nominated John Roberts to succeed the late William Rehnquist as chief justice of the United States. President Bush and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco, during a Gulf Coast tour, consoled Hurricane Katrina victims and thanked relief workers. An Indonesian jetliner crashed, killing

149 people, including 49 on the ground; 17 passengers survived. Jerry Rice ended an NFL career that included three Super Bowls and records for most career receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. ONE YEAR AGO Top finance officials from rich and developing countries agreed during a meeting in London to curb hefty bankers’ bonuses and maintain stimulus measures such as extra government spending and low interest rates to boost the global economy. TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS Former Federal Reserve Board chairman Paul Volcker is 83. Comedian-actor Bob Newhart is 81. Actress-singer Carol Lawrence is 78. Actor William Devane is 71.

O Efforts to fix state hospital stir confusion, report says

Department of Revenue to close 9 field offices but will avoid layoffs The Associated Press

By Alan Gustafson Salem Statesman Journal

SALEM — A floundering, scattershot approach to solving massive problems at the Oregon State Hospital has created confusion, disorganization and frustration, according to state-hired consultants. “It is paradoxical that the very efforts to improve the hospital have contributed to the current confusion because changes have been implemented on so many fronts with such rapidity,” says a draft report obtained by the Statesman Journal in a public records request. “The sheer volume of change at OSH would overwhelm any organization, but we believe that the essential problem has been a lack of adequate planning and coordination of these improvement efforts.” The report, prepared by a firm getting paid $175,000, describes the Salem psychiatric facility as rudderless and reeling from “paralyzed decision making.” “Staff at all levels are hampered by uncertainty about who is in charge and who is making decisions with regard to different functions,” it says. The consultants also rapped the hospital for assembling a collection of 28 standing committees, all attacking problems in uncoordinated fashion. “Committees and teams are working in isolation and ignorance of each other’s goals and interventions, and there is serious confusion about which entities hold the authority to resolve issues and are accountable for results,” the report says. Hospital managers and professionals “universally complain about having to attend too many meetings, which translates into a massive drain on clinical staff resources and detracts from the primary mission of patient care,” states the report. Liberty Healthcare, a Pennsylvania-based firm, issued the draft report after a review team spent four days at the hospital in July, toured 26 units and met with more than 300 people. A final report is due by the end of the month.

Hillsboro airport keeps birds and aircraft apart By Casey Parks The Oregonian

HILLSBORO — Kestrel season is coming. Fledgling falcons will be swooping and searching for prey amid the 800 acres of grass at Hillsboro Airport. Which could be a total headache for pilots flying in and out of the airport — not to mention a bankbreaker if a bird and a plane collide. But pilots here are lucky. Commercial airports, such as Portland International, are required to take steps to keep animals and planes separate. Although smaller, general-aviation airports are not required to have a wildlife management plan, Hillsboro developed one five years ago, using PDX as inspiration. Maintenance workers at Hillsboro spend their days firing starter pistols, mopping up standing water, shooing off rodents — basically doing anything they can to make the airport less attractive to birds who otherwise could fly into a plane’s path. The technique is unusual enough — other airports historically have killed the birds or let them roam free — that for years, workers at other general aviation airports have called Hillsboro for advice. Earlier this summer, the national Airport Cooperative Research Program developed a lengthy book of suggestions for general aviation airports to address wildlife concerns. Hills-

“A goose may weigh 14 pounds, and if you hit it going 100 miles an hour, it can go right through the windshield.” — Steve Nagy, Hillsboro Airport manager boro’s system served as a model. “What we do is above and beyond,” said Hillsboro Airport Manager Steve Nagy. “It brings a greater level of safety to the airport, because a business jet can be brought down by ingesting a bird. A goose may weigh 14 pounds, and if you hit it going 100 miles an hour, it can go right through the windshield.” That kind of damage is expensive, Nagy said. At Hillsboro, four Northern pintails caused about $100,000 in damage to a plane a few years ago. Reporting bird strikes is voluntary; the Federal Aviation Administration’s National Wildlife Strike Database reported a total of 121 bird strikes for all of Oregon in 2009. Nagy said Hillsboro averages about one per month, and most do no damage. Although wildlife managers cut the number of bird strikes at PDX last year to 53 — half of the previous year’s — Hillsboro has seen an increase in the number of reported bird strikes. That’s to be expected, Nagy said. With nearly 250,000 flights in and out of the airport each year, Hillsboro Airport leaders are

urging pilots to submit the data more regularly. The Port of Portland runs both Hillsboro and PDX, and the smaller airport benefits from that relationship. PDX employee Nick Atwell, a wildlife biologist with an impressively expansive knowledge of birds and airplanes, regularly trains Hillsboro staff on new techniques. Four Hillsboro maintenance workers include wildlife management among their duties. Atwell worked on the national guidebook, which means some of his expertise is down on paper for other general aviation airports to reference. But that report is just a collection of suggestions, he says. To maintain a good program, airport staff must constantly learn and train. For larger predators, such as hawks, airport staff have to eliminate places to perch. For other birds, worms look like a gourmet dinner. So after a rainfall, workers focus on getting rid of the worms writhing along dry runways as the ground becomes saturated. And if there’s a storm on the coast, a flock of gulls likely is headed to Hillsboro to wait it out.

Benton County poultry farmer kills cougar The Associated Press PHILOMATH — A Benton County man says a neighbor has shot and killed a young cougar prowling around poultry pens. Reed Glasmann told the Corvallis Gazette-Times on Friday the animal was on his property

the evening before when Shane Mooney shot it. Glasmann said Mooney was going to feed his ducks, geese and swans when he startled the animal. He says Mooney took his young son to the house, got a rifle and killed the cougar. Last fall, the Oregon Depart-

ment of Fish and Wildlife estimated, 5,700 cougars roamed the state, and sightings are on the rise in the mid-Willamette Valley. Five sheep have been lost to predation at a Linn County farm where six cougars have been shot or trapped.

SALEM — Oregon’s tax collectors and auditors will still be able to find you, but tracking them down will get more difficult this fall as local offices begin closing. The Department of Revenue will close all nine of its field offices by June, and the 150 employees will begin working at their homes. The Eugene office closes on Nov. 1. Others are to follow suit as their leases expire. The closures avoid layoffs and make sense from a business standpoint as more and more work gets done on the phone and online, department spokesman Derrick Gasperini told the Eugene Register-Guard. In the face of revenue shortfalls, Gov. Ted Kulongoski has ordered state agencies to make cuts. Gasperini said the closures had been planned but to meet the governor’s goal were put in place sooner than expected. “We know that by closing the buildings themselves and having employees do work from alternative locations, we’ll save just over $500,000 a year in rent and utility costs,” he said. Statewide, the field offices had 30,000 visitors last year. d cte t ra o s e s t n m c Co ith ran w su in

Most were for meetings with auditors and collectors. Gasperini said most of that work would be done at taxpayers’ homes or at the businesses where auditors or tax collectors need to talk in person with company owners. Information and tax forms on the Department of Revenue website and telephone calls should meet the future needs of taxpayers, but he said there will be less service through providing answers face-to-face for questions from Oregonians trying to complete tax forms. “That’s one of the few things we know we’re going to miss out on,” he said. Many of the revenue employees are represented by the Service Employees International Union. Mary Stewart, a union representative and a personal tax compliance auditor in the Eugene field office, said she couldn’t argue with a measure that reduces costs during tough times without reducing services to the public. “It is a huge change, but this is a change that we’re seeing in a lot of businesses,” she said.

Bend man threatened in 1910, responds with lava rock, invitation 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Sept. 4, 1910 JOHN STEIDL IS BLACKMAILED John Steidl, of Bend, recently received a letter threatening his life and that of his family unless the sum of $650 was paid to the blackmailers. A picturesque feature of the holdup scheme, which smacks somewhat of the dime novel, is the demand that the money be put in a can and buried beside a certain telephone pole near Mr. Steidl’s residence. The alleged reason for the blackmailing is that Steidl located the writers upon worthless land in the “High Desert” country. Evidently this is an attempt to turn possible suspicion from the perpetrators of the letter, for Mr. Steidl says that he is on excellent terms with the 10 men he has located in the country referred to, whose names he has recited as well as the amounts paid by them to him, the total of these location fees being considerably less than the amount demanded. While there is some possibility that the writer of the letter really thinks he can bluff Steidl out of the cash by threatening to “blow his family to hell,” as well as make him keep the matter quiet by similar threats, Steidl and his friends are inclined to treat the matter as a “raw” practical joke. Steidl has buried the can, as ordered. But instead of putting the $650 in it, he enclosed some lava rock and a note requesting the blackmailers to call in person for their money. The invitation as yet has not been accepted, nor has the can been disturbed. Both the sheriff and the postal authorities have had the facts of the case placed before them. As yet, no clue to the letter’s authorship has been run down.

Ranger Hurd is said to desire to attach his name to them because they are within the territory over which he watches and he must make official report of the discovery.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Sept. 4, 1935 THE STORY OF A JAIL To Sheriff C.L. McCauley we are indebted for information on the Sisters jail, which bobbed into prominence some weeks ago when a Sisters resident asked and received of the county court permission to wreck the structure. Incidentally, it might be added, the jail is still there. Erected in 1911, the jail is unique perhaps in the fact that it has never had a prisoner, Sheriff McCauley assures us. Today, of course, it could not hold a prisoner, but time was when it could have done nobly if it had been given the opportunity. The Sisters jail was a branch of the Crook County jail. At the time of its inception, buckaroos had developed the picturesque but unpleasant habit of galloping their horses on the margins of the main street, customarily reserved for pedestrians. Citizens, displeased, complained, and Wells Bell, district attorney, authorized them to build a jail. A subscription was taken up, for the town then, as now, was unincorporated. Construction started, and a feature of the construction was the door, built by Hardy Allen and sturdily reinforced with wagon tires. One hundred and seventy six holes were drilled in putting on the iron. Allen, so the record goes, was never fully reimbursed for his work. Finally the jail was complete, ready for customers. But the riders decided abruptly to do their riding in the middle of the street. There were no customers; and there never have been. County division came, and Sisters was presently a Deschutes County community. The jail still stood; it stands today, a decrepit monument to the effectiveness of law enforcement preparedness.

For the week ending Sept. 4, 1960 WHEN ICE CAVES WERE AN ASSET Ice caves of Central Oregon, out near the edge of the plateau desert, apparently played a considerable role in the lives of ancient dwellers of that arid land. A recent discovery by two young Bend foresters, Max Stenkamp and Lester Martin, bears out this belief. In the Pot Hole country, northeast of Fort Rock, the two men discovered an old Indian camp. Scattered over the area were obsidian chips. Buried in the dust were a number of huge artifacts shaped from the volcanic glass. Under the artifacts was the ash of old fires. It was obvious to the two men that tribesmen of long ago had spent considerable time there. Possibly it was the site of a hunting camp, where obsidian carried in from Newberry Crater was shaped into spear points, stone knives, scrapers and arrowheads. But how could hunters exist in such an area, dusty, dry and far from water? It was no favored spot for a winter camp, with game driven out by deep snow and storms and certainly it did not appear to be a choice spot for summer camping. A small cave in the lava near the old campsite appears to provide the answer. In that cave, even at present, is ice, which can be converted into the needed water. Such “ice caves” made it possible for the tribal hunters of ancient days to extend their range out into the desert country. AN AIR OF BEND PHLOX NECTAR This is Bend’s hummingbird season. Their choice morsel is the nectar extracted from delphiniums, once know as this city’s native flower. With delphiniums out of season, phlox is the choice at present. Five different species are known in Oregon. The rufous, common to Oregon, spends the summer from Alaska to Southern Oregon, and goes to Southern Mexico for the winter. Soon it will be time for the tiny visitors to head for Mexico. The 2,500-mile flight starts this month. We will miss them when they get their fill of our phlox nectar.

Peace. Contentment. Happiness. This wasn’t what Allan Schwartz expected he would find in his late 60s, as he left middle age behind. Like many people, he expected the transition into older age to be difficult; instead it has been liberating, emotionally. “I’ve noticed a distinct change from when I was younger,” said Schwartz, 68, who resides in Port Charlotte, Fla., and Boulder, Colo. with his wife of 42 years. “Then, I was quicker to anger, more defensive, much more anxious. Now, I have a greater sense of inner peace. I don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone.” A growing body of research finds that far from being a dark time, older age is a vibrant period emotionally for many people, a time of turning away from fears and frustrations and attending to what makes life meaningful, such as satisfying hobbies and friends. Laura Carstensen, director of Stanford University’s Center on Longevity, has spent most of her career studying this so-called paradox of aging: the counterintuitive finding that older people often report feeling happier — more stable, better adapted — even as their cognitive faculties and physical health decline. Her explanation for the phenomenon is “socioemotional selectivity theory.” As we age and realize that the time left to us is

limited, our priorities change, Carstensen postulates. Instead of focusing on expanding our horizons and taking on challenges — adaptive tasks for younger adults — we focus on “what matters most right now: people who are close, places or endeavors that mean a lot to us,” she says. That is the unexpected “silver lining of aging,” she says. “When you live in the now, that’s good for your mental health and your emotional well-being. You see more clearly what’s important and invest in what’s important.” And what is important, in the end, are experiences rich with positive emotion. Several studies support the theory, providing evidence that healthy older adults respond differently to negative stimuli than younger adults. (Of course, ill health or the loss of a spouse or cherished friends can throw people into an emotional tailspin that may color their later years.) A 2003 report by Carstensen and colleagues in Psychological Science found that seniors paid less attention to photos of people’s faces when expressions were angry or sad. Similarly, in a 2007 study in Aging & Mental Health, older adults reported being unhappy less often in diaries than younger people.

Growing old good for emotional health, studies show By Judith Graham

MEDFORD — The powerful diesel engine grumbled loudly as the big-rig driver shifted down to make the grade up Smith Hill on Interstate 5. But Chelsea Rose will tell you the slow-moving truck climbing the hill in northern Josephine County would have sped past pioneers huffing and puffing up the mountain on the Applegate Trail in the 1840s. “Especially in the earlier years, this would have been a very difficult point to get up in a wagon,” the staff archaeologist at Southern Oregon University’s Laboratory of Anthropology told the Medford Mail-Tribune. The Applegate Trail, also known as the southern route, was built to make it both safer and easier for people traveling into the Willamette Valley. Covering more than 1,000 miles, it cut off from the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall in what is now Idaho, headed southwest through presentday northern Nevada and the northeastern corner of California into Oregon. However, the route called the Applegate Trail was long used by American Indians before brothers Jesse and Lindsay Applegate, along with Levi Scott and others, were credited with punching through the trail in 1846, said Rose. “When it was first established, there was still a border dispute between Britain and the United States,” she said. “There were a lot of Americans coming out to settle the Willamette Valley. People were concerned that the main way people were coming west was along the Columbia River, which had a series of forts operated by the Hudson’s Bay Co., a British enterprise.” There was also the danger posed by the Columbia River, where two of the Applegate children drowned in 1843, historians note. “The Applegate cutoff as a means to the Willamette Valley was only used for a couple of years,” Rose said.

The reason it was short-lived was because of the discovery of gold in 1849 in California, causing a southern rush, she said. But that rush was reversed several years later when gold was discovered in what is now Jacksonville, she said. In 1992, Congress named the Applegate Trail as part of the National Historic Trail system. “Interstate 5 went through these canyons and mountains,” she added. “Back in the day, they had to go up and down or around.” Rose and fellow SOU archaeologist Katie Johnson, working with Oregon Department of Transportation staff and volunteers, are looking for evidence of where wagons pulled by oxen would have negotiated the steep mountain terrain in the area. In preparation for a highway improvement project set to begin in 2012 or 2013, ODOT hired the SOU staff to research the exact location of the old trail, which I-5 loosely follows between Grants Pass and Eugene. “Between Merlin and Glendale, the Applegate Trail kind of winds in and around where I-5 is today,” Rose said. “There are a lot of environmental boundaries that have kept the road system over the past 150 years in pretty close proximity.”

nia, lightning storms in North Dakota, five flat tires and hail in Montana, Spencer Schock is back in Bend from a 60-day, 4,000-mile, one-man bicycle trek. For his summer vacation, the 20-year-old Schock, a junior at Stanford University, wanted to “tackle something with a start and a finish, something I could succeed or fail at.” He decided on a bicycle trip from Boston to Bend and left Boston on June 30. Averaging 80 to 90 miles a day, he weaved a trail through 14 states making many friends along the way and rode into Bend on Wednesday evening. One of his most memorable stops was Glacier National Park. “I thought it was fantastic. Up there I saw mountain goats, bighorn sheep, hawks and eagles. It was really beautiful,” he said. Another highlight of the trip was the people he met. “People were hospitable, and would take me into their home if they could,” said Schock. “They’d give me directions and help me with repairs. One guy ran all over town trying to get a bicycle tube to help me.” “Every day was a real challenge,” he said. He said he could count on something going wrong each day. Broken spokes, cloudbursts and gusting headwinds were common along with numbing cold and sunstroke going through the desert. The trek helped to build selfconfidence because “you’ve got to rely on yourself when you are out there on the bike struggling to keep going.” It was also a way to “see America” and get plenty of exercise. Schock has survived the arduous journey and is not only stronger mentally and physically, but also spiritually. He feels that the grace of God helped him through difficulties. Schock was “incredibly lucky” one time when he was hungry and was trying to set his record of more than 135 miles a day. With 100 miles under his belt and his last meal five hours earlier, he pulled into a small Indiana town of 700 people at dusk. He was determined to finish 30 more miles but knew that he had no food left. Upon arrival, one of the first people he saw was a lady putting up sheets to dry. He asked her if any stores were open. She replied that the only store in town was closed, but that she owned it and would open it for him. With the trip behind him, Schock’s immediate goals are to “eat, sleep and put on weight.”

ICE CAVES DISCOVERED Fred Hughie, George and Claude Vandevert, who were out with Ranger Jurd fighting fire west of Spring River, about two weeks ago discovered some interesting caves. Two of them were ice caves and one a spacious bear’s den bearing evidences of use as winter quarters. They did not have the time or facilities for making full explorations but expect to make further examination later. These caves are about 12 miles due west of the Vandevert ranch on Little River, in an infrequented locality. From one of the caves, ice was carried to Vandevert’s and used in making ice cream for the party. Fred Hughie, a settler who was assisting the rangers in fighting fire, was the first man into these caves and claims the right to have them bear his name.

Wood Continued from B1 While bourbon barrels will usually be used for a stout or porter or other darker beer, the wine barrels can be used to add a distinctive taste to a wide range of styles. “With the wood barrels, there are amazing, interesting things that can be leached out,” he said. “Is it American oak? Or French oak? What kind of wine or whiskey was originally in it?” Deschutes Brewery was able to roll out something unexpected for this year’s festival — the “Lost Barrels” of Mirror Mirror. A barleywine that is essentially a double-strength version of Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Mirror Mirror is ordinarily a blended beer, according to senior brewer Jimmy Seifrit — half aged for a few months in oak barrels, and half made fresh in the brewery’s stainless steel tanks. Seifrit said the brewery’s collection of 500 oak barrels had become somewhat disorganized, and while looking around one day for a few barrels of the wood-aged imperial stout The Abyss, he came across four barrels of Mirror Mirror that had disappeared for around two years. Rather than blend them, Seifrit and the other brewers decided to keg them straight out of the barrel, yielding 16 kegs of a beer that will likely never be seen again. Inside the museum, event director Lee Perry spent the day serving up samplers of bourbon — also wood-aged — in a classroom only slightly changed from when the museum was home to Bend’s first dedicated school building. While none of the bourbon producers at this year’s festival were local — Lee said it’s more of a nod to the use of bourbon barrels in many of the beers — he’s planning for an all-Oregon bourbon selection next year. Eric Moore, a brewer at Deschutes Brewery, said wood-aged beers are likely to play a big part in the continued evolution of the craft brewing scene. With every craft brewery already producing its own version of the most popular beer styles, woodaged variations and Belgianstyle sours are a way for brew-

Rosland Continued from B1 Superintendent Ron Wilkinson said that when he came to Bend-La Pine in 1998, there was a feeling among La Pine residents that it was less important. “There was absolutely, no question, a perception in La Pine that they were a stepchild to the district, and we’ve done a number of things to try to change that in the last decade,” he said. “Now we’re to the point where the facilities in La Pine are equal to what’s in Bend.” The new school, on the north end of La Pine, is the eighth school built on a prototype used for elementaries around Bend, including High Lakes and Lava Ridge. It will house about 200 students, while La Pine Elementary, which opened in 1994 and replaced an older elementary, will have about 400. Having fifth-graders back in an elementary setting will be a new experience for families in La Pine. “I think the community is excited about the fact that we’re finally, with the fifth-graders at the elementary, more of the model that Bend is and that many elementaries are,” Yaeger said. Yaeger said that for years parents have worried about fifthgraders moving over to the middle school, and although there haven’t been problems, she’s glad it’s no longer an issue. “I think parents are relieved to finally have the fifth-graders get to stay at an elementary,” she said. The new elementary school will relieve not only La Pine Elementary but also the middle school. “At the middle school alone, we

While such beers are a bit of an acquired taste, they’re steadily gaining in popularity among both drinkers and brewers, he said. And with Bend’s seemingly endless appetite for craft beer, these varieties should start showing up on area taps any day now. “Bend is the kind of town where there are enough people that like good things — beer geeks, for lack of a better term — that you can have eight or nine breweries all making great products and all making money off it,” he said. Shea said that even if woodaged beers go mainstream, he’s hopeful The Little Woody remains a low-key event focused on appreciating the care and creativity that go into the product. “These are some complex beers; they’re not for going ‘glug-glug-glug-glug.’” he said. “They’re for sipping, go sit on the grass and listen to some acoustic music. And it’s all acoustic music, because that’s made from wood, too.” Scott Hammers can be reached at 541-383-0387 or at shammers@bendbulletin.com.

had classes on the stage, we had classes all over the place,” Yaeger said. “We were overcrowded. The elementary school had the smallest playground in the district.” Wilkinson said the new elementary school, which has room to expand, will help the district deal with growth in La Pine for a long time. “The long-term projections for growth in La Pine are extremely high, and certainly (when the bond passed) we were in that growth bubble. So we had to make some decisions,” Wilkinson said. “This gave us some long-term capacity.” A new school comes with its own set of challenges. Yes, it’s beautiful and brand new. But it also starts out empty. And that’s been Yaeger and others’ jobs for much of the summer: ordering, unpacking and putting away everything that goes in a school. Yaeger just got her new bulletin board; she spent part of the morning looking for first-aid implements. And on Thursday the staff tracked down the large rolls of paper, only to discover they had forgotten to order green, which they’d need for murals of rainbows and other scenes on the walls. “It’s those little things,” Yaeger said. “It’s a massive project, and once construction is done you’ve just got to fill it.” But she said parents and students are thrilled by the building itself. “It’s up, and it’s absolutely beautiful, with two full playgrounds and new play equipment,” Yaeger said. “It’s like a new car. It’s got that new look and new smell.” Sheila G. Miller can be reached at 541-617-7831 or at smiller@bendbulletin.com.

PORTLAND — His son’s backpack is stuffed with school supplies. Bus passes sit next to a bus schedule. All is ready for the first day of classes on Tuesday. Kaine Horman has no idea whether his son — who’s been missing since June 4 — will be going to third grade this year with his classmates. But he’s full of hope. “We’re all operating as if he will be at school,” Horman told The Oregonian on Friday. “As soon as he walks back in the door, we’re going to take a lot of time to ourselves, but when he’s ready and we’re ready to come back, he’ll be back in school.” Horman attended the parentteacher conference at Skyline School on Thursday, where

parents were briefed about new security measures, including the high-end security cameras that were recently installed. Besides the parent-teacher conference, Horman signed his son up for soccer, which Kyron participated in last school year. Horman bought Kyron a new Iron Man backpack and school supplies, which are in his son’s room in his house on Northwest Sheltered Nook Road, and this weekend plans to shop for a birthday present. Kyron’s stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman, who was the last person to see him at Skyline School, remains at her parents’ home in Roseburg. She’s the focus of the investigation into Kyron’s disappearance, but has not been charged or arrested.

Political cartoonist Paul Conrad wielded sharp pen for 6 decades By Robert D. McFadden New York Times News Service

In the Watergate scandal, he drew Richard Nixon nailing himself to a cross. He stood Dick Cheney at a vast graveyard of veterans, saying: “For seven years, we did everything to keep you safe.” And on the frieze over the Supreme Court, he etched the hallowed words: “Of the insurance co’s. By the insurance co’s. And for the insurance co’s.” Paul Conrad’s rapier editorial cartoons in The Los Angeles Times, The Denver Post and other papers slashed presidents, skewered pomposity and exposed what he saw as deception and injustice for six decades. Subjects squirmed. Readers were outraged and delighted. And he won a host of awards, including three Pulitzer Prizes. “No one’s ever accused me of being objective,” he liked to say of his take-no-prisoners career, which branched into sculpture, books and helium balloons. At the age of 86, Conrad, who lived in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., died at home early Saturday of natural causes, The Los Angeles Times quoted his son David as saying. In the tradition of Thomas Nast, whose caricatures hounded a corrupt Boss Tweed from power in New York in the 19th century, and Herbert R. Block, the renowned Herblock of The Washington Post, Conrad captured complex issues and personalities in simple pen-and-ink drawings that touched the major political fights of his era. Wars, elections, scandals, the legerdemain of politicians and the shenanigans of charlatans — all were grist for the Conrad Truth Machine, a movable feast that began at The Denver Post in 1950, went to The Los Angeles Times in 1964, and after 1993 was syndicated in publications that had printed his work for decades. He won Pulitzers in 1964, 1971 and 1984. “Conrad’s name strikes fear in the hearts of men all over the world,” the humorist Art Buchwald wrote, with echoes of the Shadow and Superman. “Where there is corruption, greed or hypocrisy, everyone says, ‘This is a job for Conrad.’”

Political targets He was a Democrat with liberal leanings and relished attacking Republicans. His Nixon was a sly, secretive scoundrel in need of a shave. He made the Nixon “enemies list,” and his taxes were audited four times, without charges. Ironically, he later secured the Nixon lecture chair at the president’s alma mater, Whittier College, in 1977-78. In 1968, Conrad drew Gov. Ronald Reagan of California on his

Paul Conrad, the political cartoonist who won three Pulitzer Prizes and made President Richard Nixon’s “enemies list,” died Saturday of natural causes at his home in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

“Conrad’s name strikes fear in the hearts of men all over the world. Where there is corruption, greed or hypocrisy, everyone says, ‘This is a job for Conrad.’” — Art Buchwald, humorist knees retrieving papers marked “law and order,” “patriotism” and “individual liberty,” from under the feet of former Gov. George Wallace of Alabama, a presidential candidate. “Excuse me, Mr. Wallace,” he says, “you’re stepping on my lines.” As president, Reagan became Napoleon, “The War Powers Actor.” But Conrad also took aim at Democrats. President Lyndon Johnson and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey were cowboys riding a Dr. Strangelove bomb down on Vietnam in 1968. Years later, when Robert McNamara expressed regrets over the war, Conrad drew the former defense secretary at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington (beside the names of 58,000 dead) saying, “Sorry About That.” In the 1976 and 1980 presidential campaigns, Conrad rendered Jimmy Carter with a toothy grin of vacuity. He portrayed yuppies as rich brats, reporters as backward donkey-riders and himself as a scruffy artist — a lanky drudge in shirt sleeves with a jutting chin, horn-rimmed glasses and thinning hair — who drew six cartoons a week, inspired by news. “I decide who’s right and who’s wrong, and go from there,” he told Writer’s Digest.

Catholic theologian Panikkar promoted religious dialogue By William Grimes New York Times News Service

Raimon Panikkar, a Roman Catholic theologian whose embrace of Hindu scriptures and Buddhism made him an influential voice for promoting dialogue among the world’s religions, died Aug. 26 at his home in Tavertet, Spain. He was 91. His death was announced on his website, raimon-panikkar.org. Panikkar was a Roman Catholic priest and a professor of philosophy at the University of Madrid when he made his first trip to India in 1954. It was a turning point in his spiritual life and a homecoming of sorts: His father was a Hindu from the south of India who had married a Spanish Roman Catholic. While studying Indian philosophy and religion at the University of Mysore and Banaras Hindu University, Panikkar befriended several Western monks seeking Eastern forms for the expression of their Christian beliefs. It was an eye-opening experience. “I left Europe as a Christian, I discovered I was a Hindu and re-

turned as a Buddhist without ever having ceased to be Christian,” he later wrote. The rest of his life was dedicated to promoting, as a university teacher and in dozens of books, an expansion of the Judaic and Greco-Roman foundations of Christianity to embrace the insights of non-Western religions. “He was one of the pioneers in opening up Christianity to other religions and learning from them,” Joseph Prabhu, a professor of philosophy at California State University, Los Angeles, and the editor of “The Intercultural Challenge of Raimon Panikkar” (1996), said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “We can see the new waves of Christianity moving toward the non-European world in the 21st century, and he prepared the ground for an authentic dialogue between Christianity and other faiths, and beyond that for the cross-cultural conversation which marks our globalized world.” Raimundo Panikkar Alemany was born on Nov. 3, 1918, in Barcelona, where his father, after living

in Britain, had opened a chemical plant. After attending a Jesuit secondary school, he began studying philosophy in Barcelona. When the Spanish Civil War broke out, he fled to Bonn to continue his university studies, but while he was on vacation at home, Germany invaded Poland. He remained in Spain, earning a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Madrid in 1946 and a doctorate in chemistry in 1958. In 1940 he had become friends with Josemaria Escriva de Balaguer, the canonized founder of Opus Dei, a conservative Catholic movement of clerics and laity; Escriva urged him to train for the priesthood. He was ordained in 1946 and for the next 20 years worked closely with Opus Dei. He earned a third doctorate, in theology, at the Lateran University in Rome in 1961. In his dissertation, Panikkar analyzed St. Thomas Aquinas’ interpretation of the Brahma Sutras, one of Hinduism’s fundamental texts, comparing it to the interpretation of the eighth-century Hindu philosopher Adi Sankara.

Paul Francis Conrad and his twin brother, James, were born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on June 27, 1924, sons of Robert Conrad and Florence Lawler Conrad. Paul drew his first cartoon on the wall of a parochial school boys’ lavatory. After graduating from high school, he went to Alaska and worked in construction. He joined the Army in 1942 and was in the invasions of Guam and Okinawa. In 1946, he enrolled at the University of Iowa. His grades were mediocre, but his cartoons for the college newspaper impressed teachers, who sent samples to The Denver Post. He was hired after graduation. In 1953, he married Barbara Kay King. They had four children: David, James, Carol and Elizabeth. The Los Angeles Times listed his wife, children and a granddaughter as survivors.

But he continued to produce cartoons that were syndicated for years. He drew Nixon and George W. Bush side by side, chubby pals in beanies, called “Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber.” After the 2008 election, he depicted Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, the losing vice presidential candidate, holding a smoking AK-47 in one hand and, in the other, the trunk of a dead GOP elephant. In the 1980s, Conrad became a helium balloon enthusiast. He also sculptured bronze busts of presidents — George W. Bush is a 10-gallon hat atop a pair of cowboy boots with nothing in between — and other prominent Americans. Many have been exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Vance Bourjaily, a professor of writing and a prolific novelist who explored the complex lives of contemporary Americans in reticently unadorned prose, died Aug. 31 in Greenbrae, Calif. He died of complications from a fall, said his wife, Yasmin Mogul. He was 87. An enduring presence in American literature, Bourjaily was considered one of the eminent young novelists of the World War II generation. Critics put him in the same rank as postwar writers Norman Mailer and James Jones. Bourjaily’s first novel, “The End of My Life” (1947), was influenced by his unsettling experiences as a soldier and ambulance driver in World War II. Literary critic John Aldridge wrote that “no book since (F. Scott Fitzgerald’s) ‘This Side of Paradise’ has caught so well the flavor of youth in wartime, and no book since (Ernest Hemingway’s) ‘A Farewell to Arms’ has contained so complete a record of the loss of that youth in war.” Of the 1958 novel “The Violated,” a critic noted that Bourjaily is “one of that select band of writers equipped with antenna-like perception enabling them to project the heart and pulse of their generation.” In his long and varied career, Bourjaily was a playwright, a long-form journalist and a Broadway critic for the Village Voice. In the early 1950s, he was the co-editor of Discovery, a literary journal that a critic called one of the “liveliest and most buoyantly pugnacious of all the little magazines.” After teaching at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Bourjaily became the director of Louisiana State University’s post-graduate creative writing program in 1985. He retired in the late 1990s.

Other subjects With syndication, his popularity grew exponentially. Soon after his first Pulitzer, he joined The Los Angeles Times. He often focused on nonpolitical subjects. When Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969, he conceived a mailbox awaiting the astronauts. A 1964 vision showed the moon looming larger in four rocket

Ready for solar power, empty so far Vast tracts of the Southwest got the federal OK five years ago, but, so far, no solar farms

was not blocking anyone. The company also announced this month it had reached a deal to build a small, 250-acre project in Colorado on private land. “While we continue to pursue development of projects utilizing public lands in the Southwest, we have not held land reservations if they are determined not to be viable for future solar development,” company spokesman Ed Canaday said in an e-mail.

Seeking a faster track

By Jason Dearen The Associated Press

ROACH DRY LAKE, Nev. — Not a light bulb’s worth of solar electricity has been produced on the millions of acres of public desert set aside for it. Not one project to build glimmering solar farms has even broken ground. Instead, five years after federal land managers opened up stretches of the Southwest to developers, vast tracts still sit idle. An Associated Press examination of U.S. Bureau of Land Management records and interviews with agency officials shows that the BLM operated a first-come, first-served leasing system that quickly overwhelmed its small staff and enabled companies, regardless of solar industry experience, to squat on land without any real plans to develop it. At a time when the nation drills ever deeper for oil off its shores even as it tries to diversify its energy supply, the federal government has, so far, failed to use the land it already has — some of the world’s best for solar — to produce renewable electricity. Nowhere is this more evident than in Nevada, where a Goldman Sachs & Co. subsidiary with no solar background has claims with the BLM on nearly half the land for which applications have been filed, but no firm plan for any of the sites. The Obama administration says it is expediting the most promising projects, with some approvals expected as soon as September. And yet, it will be years before the companies begin sending electricity to the Southwest’s sprawling, energyhungry cities. “Clearly we spent a lot of time and effort on oil and gas, but those priorities have changed,” Ray Brady, BLM’s head of energy policy in Washington, told the AP. Congress in 2005 gave the Interior Department a deadline: Approve 10,000 megawatts, or about 5 million homes’ worth during peak hours, of renewable energy on public lands by 2015. Reaching that goal was left to the BLM, which oversees federal land and knows oil, gas and mining leases but is new to solar. The Bush administration, however, kept BLM’s focus on oil. BLM’s database of solar applications shows many languished for years while the agency approved more than 73,000 oil and gas leases in the last five years. BLM has yet to give final approval to one solar lease.

Speculative claims BLM’s solar leasing system ended up allowing developers to lay claim to prime sites — many located in the deserts that span California, Nevada and Arizona. All developers had to do was fill out an application, pay a fee and file development plans. But many were so vague that

The presence of existing towers makes the area a prime site for solar development.

it was difficult for BLM to separate the serious projects from the speculative ones. “People were making (solar) applications on federal lands not knowing what kind of technology to propose and ... how to develop the land,” Brady said. In the Southern California desert near Palm Springs, for example, San Diego-based LightSource Renewables filed an application in August 2008 for 2,500 acres, BLM records show. The small, twoperson development firm knew enough to recognize the land’s worth — it was close to transmission lines — but had no previous experience with such projects. Co-founder Paul Whitworth said it is now focusing on getting private land, and is not pursuing plans for its BLM site. The agency, however, still considers the application active, meaning other interested firms cannot access it. “We don’t know what technology will win or lose, and certain sites cater to certain technologies, but a good site is a good site,” Whitworth said when asked why they filed their application. The firm has never filed a development plan, records show. While dozens of smaller firms like LightSource joined in the rush, BLM records show two Goldman subsidiaries filed 52 of the 354 applications throughout the region, more than any other company. “Those 52 applications are an example of the problem of clogging up the system,” said V. John

White, executive director the Sacramento, Calif.-based Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies, a clean-energy advocacy group, in an e-mail. The system has limited access by experienced solar developers to the best sites. “Some of these lease applications tied up more land than would be needed for a real project,” he said.

Doesn’t add up For example, records show Goldman-owned Cogentrix Solar Services, LLC, the subsidiary with no previous solar experience, has a pending application for 13,440 acres in Nevada for a 1,400-megawatt solar plant. Another claim on land nearby asks for 22,400 acres for the exact same-sized plant. BLM records show other companies proposing the same type of solar plants were asking for 6,000 to 7,000 acres. Over the years, BLM rejected applications or companies withdrew them, bringing the total active applications to 123. Some of Goldman’s California applications were withdrawn after U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein proposed last year that part of the Mojave Desert where some of the projects were proposed be declared a national monument. Now Goldman holds 10 of the 123, including eight that cover nearly half the land proposed for solar in Nevada.

An AP review of BLM’s applications database found Cogentrix has staked more development claims in the Southwestern deserts than any other company. In Nevada alone, Cogentrix has applied for exclusive development rights on nearly as much federal land as all other companies combined. Its active lease applications cover about 120,000 acres — the equivalent of more than eight Manhattans. “Goldman Sachs was one of the first applicants to dot the map with potential projects, and since then they haven’t moved on any of them,” said Gregory Helseth, the BLM’s new renewable energy project manager in southern

Nevada. “You can’t hold the land forever. You can’t be a prospector and hope somebody down the road wants to buy.” A Goldman representative defended the firm’s solar investments, saying the Wall Street titan has since gained experience through its 2009 purchase of an aged solar facility in San Bernardino, Calif., that it was moving forward in good faith and Hospice Home Health Hospice House Transitions

The Obama administration has identified 14 promising “fasttrack” projects targeted for approval by year’s end so they can qualify for stimulus funding. None of Goldman’s claims are among them. When completed, these facilities could generate 6,000 megawatts, enough electricity for several million homes during peak hours. There is a ready market for big plants, with California’s strict climate change laws creating a huge demand among utilities for solar power. Companies that hold BLM solar development applications are prohibited from selling them, but the companies themselves can be sold along with the potentially lucrative applications. Tempe, Ariz.-based First Solar, an industry leader and a maker of solar panels, bought two smaller companies, including the companies’ land rights and power agreements with utility companies. First Solar paid about $400 million for OptiSolar and $285 million for NextLight. Analysts say the sale value of both companies likely was increased because they held BLM solar development applications.

A peculiar town on a lazy river

The Columbia County Courthouse, built in 1905, is a landmark in Olde Towne St. Helens. Featured in the 1998 Disney movie “Halloweentown,” it remains the governmental center for the county immediately northwest of Portland. John Gottberg Anderson For The Bulletin

Describing a walk through the garden outside her home in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, after a rainstorm, Joyce Brabner said she was looking for a dry place to sit and talk about how things have been going since the death of her husband, Harvey Pekar, the comic-book writer. “He’s still dead,” Brabner said over the phone, in a characteristic display of resilience through black comedy. “When he comes back, rolls away the rock, I’ll let you know.” It was the sort of unromanticized scene, mundane with an edge of mordancy, that Pekar might have liked to preserve in his long-running series of autobiographical comics, American Splendor, or in one of his New York Times News Service many graphic A Dean Haspiel cover for Harvey novels. Pekar’s “American Splendor” But when comic book. A number of artists Pekar died at illustrated the writings of Pekar, 70 on July 12 who died in July at age 70. — suddenly, it seemed to some, but actually in painful stages, as those closest to him knew — it brought an end to his compulsive chronicling of Cleveland’s commonplace lives, including, most frequently, his own. Known for the irascible, self-doubting persona he cultivated in American Splendor and his dayto-day existence, the frizzy-haired, wild-eyed Pekar, a writer whose comics were illustrated by other artists, was an improbable candidate for lasting glory.

Dear Abby: My fiance and I are preparing for our wedding next spring. This is the first marriage for both of us. We are well-established in our careers and have a nice house with everything we need in it. Abby, my fiance and I lost our fathers to cancer within the last few years. One of our biggest regrets is that we never got to meet each other’s father, and they won’t be at our wedding with everyone else we love. Is there a polite way to ask our guests to donate to the American Cancer Society, their local hospice or a charity of their choice instead of buying us things we don’t need? It would mean far more to us knowing that some other dad who might have been lost to cancer will be able to walk his daughter down the aisle on her special day. — Spring 2011 Bride Dear Spring 2011 Bride: While I commend you for wanting to help others whose lives have been touched by cancer, what you have in mind must be done “delicately” so no rules of etiquette are broken. No mention of gifts (or money) should be made on (or accompany) your wedding invitations. However, it is customary for those who plan to attend to inquire about where the couple is registered or what they might need. At that point, it’s permissible to say (verbally) that a donation to the American Cancer Society or to hospice, etc., would be appreciated for the reasons you stated in your letter. And one more thought: Although your fathers-in-law died before you could meet them, please don’t think they won’t be at your celebration. Because they are in your hearts, they will not only be present at your wedding, they’ll be with you always.

DEAR ABBY Dear Abby: About a year ago I was in the process of separating from my husband. I started looking for a place of my own, but after I found one, my husband said he wanted to “work things out.” While we were separated, we slept in different rooms. During this time, I met another man, “Craig.” He knew I was married, and I told him about the situation with my husband. Craig and I have not been intimate or even kissed. We have carried on inappropriate conversations via phone, e-mail and texting, and we have sent each other pictures through e-mail. My husband and I have now reconciled, but I have been stringing Craig along on the chance that, if my marriage doesn’t work out, he’ll be there. I feel guilty about this. Is what Craig and I have done considered a form of cheating? What should I do? — Hedging My Bets in California Dear Hedging: Of course it’s a form of cheating! You know that on some level or you wouldn’t be feeling guilty. If you really want your marriage to work, you’ll stop hedging your bets and devote yourself fully to it. You’ll also level with Craig, tell him you and your husband have reconciled, ask him not to call you again and delete his texts and e-mails. If you don’t, your husband could find them and your marriage WILL be over.

Sally Sally is a sweet girl looking for a second chance. She was brought to the shelter as a stray and was never looked for by an owner. We estimate she is about 3 years old and can’t wait to leave shelter living behind her. Since nothing is known about her background, a home that can give Sally the time to adjust is needed!

Antics aside, a Dali of constant ambition Artist’s late work, often dismissed, reveals a rich and complex legacy By Roberta Smith New York Times News Service

ATLANTA — Salvador Dali’s late work started unusually early. He was born in 1904 and soon displayed a precocious skill for ultrarefined hyperrealism. By the late 1920s he had painted some of the smallest, most peculiar masterpieces of surrealism. Within a decade he was widely seen as having entered — again precociously — a decline that became ever more precipitous, exacerbated by relentless self-promotion, shameless hucksterism and a fervent return to Roman Catholicism. “Dali: The Late Work” at the High Museum of Art here largely lays waste to the presumption that late Dali is bad Dali, and that most Dali is late. In so doing it joins other exhibitions that have done their share to loosen the grip of canonical European and American painting and sculpture on the history of art. While forces like multiculturalism, anti-colonialism and the various liberation movements have done much more to make art history bigger, messier and truer, there have also been what might be called inside jobs: expansions of the canon from within. These include reconsiderations of the perennially disdained “late work” of established 19th- and 20thcentury painters like Dali, fresh assessments that have helped overturn closely held notions of connoisseurship, quality and historical significance, while eroding the cult of youth. Again and again it has been demonstrated that the unpredictable cocktail of fading energy and seasoned talent, of mortality and desperation (just another word for ambition) can accomplish wonders. This summer began with a perturbing show of late Renoir at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Over the past couple of years, important exhibitions of late Picasso and the late work of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner brightened the New York gallery scene. Kandinsky’s late work more than held up its end of the Guggenheim’s retrospective in 2009. Late Picabia has been one of the cornerstones of postmodern painting, and in the 1970s Philip Guston’s late works unfolded as living proof that it’s not over until it’s over. Jasper Johns and Lucien Freud perform similar feats now.

Possibly terrible On first perusal the High Museum exhibition seems destined to confirm art-world assumptions about Dali. There are definitely some not-so-great, possibly terrible paintings here, including the commissioned portraits, like the one of Walt Disney. It turns out that the only person Dali painted convincingly was his wife, sidekick and handler, Gala. In addition, Dali is overwhelmingly present — in photographs, on film, in quotations emblazoned on the wall — and is often fairly obnoxious, eyes abulge, signature mustache adroop. In the opening gallery he does parlor tricks with his facial hair, shaping his mustache into a paint brush, bull’s horns and a dollar sign. The second gallery is devoted to his exuberant collaborations with the photographer Philippe Halsman. Dali glowers at a rhinoceros; he leaps into the air amid a swath of flung cats and water. He paints a Medusa’s head on Gala’s forehead, and apes Velazquez’s painting “Las Meninas” against a woozy backdrop of gingham. Further on, a typical exhibition documentary plays opposite a wall checkered with photographs of Dali hanging out at Max’s Kansas City and admiring quotations from Alfred Hitchcock, Andy Warhol and Jeff Koons. Elsewhere Dali appears in a television studio in 1960, lecturing and sketching on a blackboard and then, in a manner reminiscent of Yves Klein, orchestrating a Happening while Halsman adeptly serves as interviewer-straight man. Abstract expressionism, abstract painting in general and the work of Mondrian in particular are extensively dissed throughout. Then, suddenly, there’s something surprising: Dali mentions his belief in the power of “strictly visual communication.” Strange words from a man who manipulated every aspect of his life and person to get attention. But the paintings bear him out. Each one is a furious little world — or

A visitor views Salvador Dali’s “Madonna of Port Lligat,” in which everything is in suspension, like atoms — perhaps an attempt at reconciling his deep religious beliefs with the science that posed a threat to it.

Visitors view Salvador Dali’s “Santiago El Grande” at the “Dali: The Late Work” exhibition at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. The exhibition counters the art world notion that late work by Dali is bad, and that most Dali is late work. objects that can be read symbolically — a folded cloth, a shell, a fish, a bowl — form a still life out of Zurbaran.

It all matters

“Debris of an Automobile Giving Birth to a Blind Horse Biting a Telephone” is a technical tour de force of scratching and rubbing through black paint laid over white. a quite large one — unto itself, a visual rabbit hole of recognizable forms, motifs and symbols, from the structure of the atom to the Madonna and Child.

Mixed motivations Once the art takes over, this is a terrific, even shattering show. Organized by the Dali expert Elliott King, it includes works from foreign museums that have not been seen in the United States for more than 50 years, as well as generous loans from the intrepid Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Fla. At the exhibition’s center is an artist who spent most of his life dissecting and diversifying the almost freakish skill that first earned him his reputation as a painter, while also making prints, designing jewelry and even dabbling in holograms. He was motivated by many things: religious faith, love of the old masters, a striking interest in science, and his passion for the austere landscape and shorelines of his beloved Catalonia. And always there was the desperate, desperate desire to be current, to be part of his own time and in step with, or preferably a bit ahead of, its art — and, of course, to best the competition. One of the earliest late Dalis here is “Debris of an Automobile Giving Birth to a Blind Horse Biting a Telephone” from 1938, a lush, witty riposte to Picasso’s “Guernica,” as well as a technical tour de force of scratching and rubbing through black paint laid over white.

New heights of strangeness Dali mixed these motivations in different ratios from painting to painting. In works like “Christ of St. John of the Cross” (1951), for example, a very now crucifixion image, he comes close to being a modern Renaissance painter, with faith his chief subject. An astute balance of showmanship and restraint, this work seems to present a God’s-eye view, eerily evoking years before fact the famous “Earthrise” photograph taken during the 1968 Apollo 8 mission. The painting may show the cross ascending to heaven, with its occupant shedding his suffering as it goes. In any event, he is a healthy young man, with rippling muscles free of cuts and bruises and short wavy brown hair free of thorny crown. His face, while not visible, is surely movie-star handsome. In this work Dali takes Re-

naissance perspective to new heights of strangeness; in others he attempts to reconcile religious belief with new threats to it, including the discovery of the atom and the God-like power of the atomic bomb. In “Madonna of Port Lligat” (1950), in which Gala is cast as the Virgin, everything is in suspension, like the floating atoms that make up matter, and both mother and child are rendered transparent by squares cut in their torsos. Before them on a dark, low altar, widely spaced

You learn in this show that, jokes aside, little is actually superfluous. Dali’s face-off with the rhinoceros, for example, is given weight by the frequent appearances of rhinoceros horns in paintings and drawings. Often they swirl and coalesce like oddly shaped atoms into the silhouettes of figures or heads, as in “The Maximum Speed of Raphael’s Madonna” (1954). Dali was drawn to the horn because its growth patterns adhere to a mathematical formula — the Fibonacci series that would later attract Mario Merz and Donald Judd. Dali’s anticipation of pop, neoexpressionism and even photo appropriation in paintings like the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 1958 “Sistine Madonna” — which makes you think of both Roy Lichtenstein and Sigmar Polke — is well-known. This show elucidates his constant dialogue with the loose, gestural brushwork of abstract expressionism, which in Dali’s hands is often a kind of refined calligraphy usually executed in shades of white and gray.

In “Saint Surrounded by Three Pi-Mesons” (1956), the suspended notational brushwork brings to mind Mark Tobey. In the gray, cloudy, “Portrait of Juan de Pareja, Assistant to Velazquez” (1960), which is full of delicate rivulets of thin paint, the competition may be Yves Tanguy, whose refined surrealism was influenced by Dali. Is late Dali better than the early shining prodigy? This exhibition suggests that this comparison is almost apples and oranges. The

point may be that although many artists produce great and historically important works while young, in modern times at least they don’t really know themselves, or art (which may be the same thing), until they are much older. Had Dali died in 1938, he would have had a very nice, neat, narrow niche in the history of art. By living and working as long as he did — he stopped painting in 1983 and died six years later — he left a legacy that is incalculably richer, psychologically and artistically, and much more instructive. It is sad that this show will not travel and tantalizing to imagine its repercussions in big, artistdense cities like New York or Los Angeles. It is well worth the trip to Atlanta.

A happy fisherman nets a good-sized salmon in the Columbia River, just offshore from Longview, Wash. The confluence of the Cowlitz and Columbia rivers is considered prime fishing water, attracting thousands of fishermen each summer and fall to its collision of waters.

Dylan Goldsmith, brewer and co-owner of Captured by Porches, shovels mash from a batch of Invasive Species IPA at his eightbarrel brewery in Olde Towne St. Helens. All of the company’s limited-release beer is packaged in reusable containers.

My principal reason for traveling to St. Helens last month was to go salmon fishing on the Columbia River. Three Portland-area friends had invited me to join them on a small charter with fishing guide Dan Porter. We came with fishing licenses and Porter provided everything else: poles, lures and 20 years of expertise. We put in shortly after 6 a.m. at the small port of Goble, 10 miles downriver from St. Helens and about five miles upriver from Rainier, and anchored off the mouth of the Cowlitz River, opposite Longview. We were not alone. Dozens of other boats had already staked their claims on the river. They sat in rows, about 20 feet apart, waiting for the tide to turn. Porter piloted his craft to a location inside most of the other vessels, in water whose depth he estimated at 18 feet. I remarked on the number of boats. Porter shrugged. “There

A geocaching adventure Left without anything to show for my fishing excursion, and with a sunny afternoon

ahead, I discovered the sport of geocaching. The idea was not mine. It belonged to Amber Dennis, one of my three fishing companions. As our other two friends were returning to Portland for a meeting, we were presented with one of those “Why not?” moments. The Scappoose Creek Inn, where I was staying, actively promotes geocaching. The owners provided us with a website link to the locations (in latitude and longitude) of hidden treasures in the St. Helens area. We chose one that wouldn’t require too much hiking after we left our cars. Armed with cell phones with global positioning system capability, we ventured out Pittsburg Road into the hills west of town. Dennis and I knew to look for a small lane beside a cemetery. We readily found it on a hill crest opposite the historic Yankton church. Then the adventure

began. We wandered down the narrow gravel lane, not at all certain of what we were looking for. We looked behind gravestones, beneath rocks, in holes in giant cottonwoods, in hopes of finding something out of the ordinary. Stumped, we returned to the website and decoded a puzzle that lent us a clue: Look on a post, a little more than waist-high. I followed my friend down the lane, hemmed in on both sides by small trees and shrubs, a field to the west behind a wire fence held together by rotting posts. Nothing there. On the east side of the lane, I spied a Styrofoam soup carton atop another fence post, just about waist-high. Could this hold the treasure we were seeking? I tried to dislodge it. The carton was stuck tight to the post. I yanked a little harder. Three yellowjackets zoomed out. Yow! Clearly, this was not it. We ske-

Salmon fishing

Continued from C1 Townspeople and visitors alike dress for the occasion and cower beneath the sight of larger-than-life scarecrows that line the streets. Amid all this ghoulishness is a small local brewing company with the unlikely name of Captured by Porches. It is lodged behind the Plantation House and Captain Jack’s karaoke bar in the heart of Olde Towne. I dropped in to find Dylan Goldsmith, a self-taught brewer who owns the business with his wife, Suzanne, up to his elbows in brewery mash. Started in 2002 as a homebrewing club in Portland’s Clinton neighborhood, Captured by Porches went commercial three years later and moved to St. Helens in 2008. Its unusual name, Goldsmith said, comes from his friends’ habit of hanging out on each others’ porches, bottles of beer keeping conversation flowing. The company’s trademark ale is Invasive Species IPA. Like the 10 other beers the Goldsmiths produce seasonally or occasionally, its label honors “Peckers,” a starling the family rescued as a baby from a predator and raised to adulthood in their home. The brewery has no tasting room, and its only pub is a mobile one. But the brew is finding its way into shops and restaurants in the greater Portland area.

may be 10 times this many next week,” he said. “In another couple of weeks, there will be thousands.” They would be angling for up to a million salmon, mainly chinook and coho, as well as steelhead and occasional sturgeon, he said. River mouths, Porter said, are good places to fish because water of different temperatures collides: Columbia tributaries are typically much colder than the mother river. The Cowlitz, he said, is normally 62 degrees, while the Columbia averages about 70 degrees, “although this year the Columbia is colder due to the long spring rainy season.” Porter regaled our party with insider’s tips on weather: “It’s good to have morning overcast, because otherwise it’s chilly and rough. The wind changes direction with the tide. We can have a 30- to 40-degree temperature variance in about an hour.” He warned us to keep an eye out for logs and weeds being carried downstream with the changing of the tide, and, indeed, we had to dodge a couple of sizeable snags. He told us little about his past life (as a senior executive at Enron Corp.); he’s much happier, he said, fishing 280 days a year. “Ten percent of the people catch 90 percent of the fish,” he said. “They’re the ones who understand the fish. Temperatures change, water conditions change, and the fish don’t do the same thing every time, so I don’t do the same thing every time, either.” We had plenty of time to listen to Porter. We spent hours in the river with only a couple of strikes, and nary a fish to show for our time. But the boat next to us — the last vessel to slip between Porter’s boat and shore — netted three good-size fish. And the chain-smoking, beer-guzzling owner of that boat wasn’t anywhere near as congenial as our captain. Although we were initially put off by his attitude — constantly berating not only his two companions but also the weather, the fishing conditions and other anglers — we came to find him a somewhat amusing character. “We weren’t completely skunked,” said Porter. “At least we got some entertainment.”

daddled back down the road toward the cars, ready to give up. “Do you suppose there’s someone in the cemetery named Post?” Dennis ventured, tongue in cheek. On a final hunch, I looked behind a few newer fence posts directly opposite the graveyard, not 15 yards off Pittsburgh Road. There I spotted our “cache”: a small plastic pillbox. Removing it from its niche, I opened the container and found a piece of paper rolled up inside, inscribed with names and dates of its previous discoverers. We added our own names, tossed in a couple of tokens to reward future visitors, and congratulated ourselves for having passed our first geocaching test.

The stale rom-com genre could use a blast from its own past By Tom Horgen Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

A Latin jazz band sets up for a “13 Nights on the River” concert in St. Helens’ Columbia View Park. Vendors sell food and crafts near the bandstand as oceangoing container ships and freighters pass on the Columbia River. From previous page Journal inscriptions from the 1805-06 travels of explorers Lewis and Clark, who camped near St. Helens, are etched into the plaza’s flagstones. Most of Olde Towne’s shops and restaurants, as well as the Columbia Theatre, may be found along a three-block stretch of First Street. This is where you’ll find Jilly’s and Experience Twilight, as well as the colorful Klondike Restaurant, a two-story yellow house with a spacious garden dining area; Dockside Steak & Pasta; and Plantation Pizza, whose menu extends to fine meat and seafood dishes. The latter establishment connects to Captain Jack’s Lounge, the karaoke bar that provides space to the Captured by Porches brewery.

3. “The American President” (1995) The hook: The U.S. president, played by Michael Douglas, is a single dad looking for a date with brash lobbyist Annette Bening. His political opponents cry foul. A guy’s take: Douglas is great as the ultimate bachelor. Also: the minutiae of the film’s political story lines (Can the prez pass a crime bill? Should he bomb Libya?) is interesting stuff. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin went on to write “The West Wing.” 2. “When Harry Met Sally ...” (1989) The hook: Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan reconnect through the years as they struggle with the question: Can two people sleep together and remain friends? A guy’s take: Doesn’t really matter what I think. This is the blueprint. 1. “Knocked Up” (2007) The hook: A one-night stand between Katherine Heigl’s careerminded Alison and Seth Rogen’s stoner doofus Ben results in an unexpected pregnancy — and the birth of a new breed of romantic comedy. A guy’s take: “Knocked Up” is the pinnacle of Judd Apatow’s bromantic comedies, where men are forced to grow up or be cast out as useless nincompoops by the women in their lives. The movie felt like a game-changer at the time, but we’re still waiting for the rest of the rom-com universe to catch up.

The romantic comedy is on life support. Take last month’s “The Switch,” with Jennifer Aniston. Didn’t see it? Don’t worry, no one else did, either. A bad year for the rom-com genre just keeps getting worse (case in point: this weekend’s “Going the Distance”), and audiences are responding by staying home. This formulaic genre needs new ideas, but finding freshness in the latest crop is as likely as perennial rom-com queen Sandra Bullock winning another Oscar. (Sorry, Sandy!) As Hollywood scrambles to right the ship, maybe it’s time to look back and pinpoint some rom-com classics — movies that defined the genre and maybe even transcend it. These movies stick to a very specific set of rules: Two people meet, they form an unlikely romance, there are obstacles, comedy ensues, they live happily ever after. While that formula also applies to such Old Hollywood films as “The Philadelphia Story” and even Woody Allen’s “Annie Hall,” my list of neo-classics sticks to the genre’s post-1989 blitz. These eight movies maximized the genre’s potential in the modern era, making a guy’s worst nightmare — a dark theater without explosions and testosterone — actually bearable. And maybe even enjoyable. 8. “Shakespeare in Love” (1998) The hook: A young William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) finds inspiration for “Romeo and Juliet” in his own star-crossed love affair with Gwyneth Paltrow. A guy’s take: Beating out “Saving Private Ryan” for best picture has got to mean something. It does: The comedy is fast and funny and the ro-

mance has very little cheese. 7. “Brown Sugar” (2002) The hook: A hip-hop record exec (Taye Diggs) and a magazine editor (Sanaa Lathan) are childhood friends who discover they’re in love with each other — even though they’re both off the market. A guy’s take: The rap industry provides a fun backdrop to this love story, while supporting roles by Mos Def and Queen Latifah steal the show. 6. “Chasing Amy” (1997) The hook: Kevin Smith’s oddball rom-com finds a comic book artist falling in love with a woman who doesn’t like men. Psst ... because she’s a lesbian. A guy’s take: This indie favorite is filled with geeky insider jokes and raunchy sex puns, plus a young Ben Affleck (in the lead) before the “Gigli” fiasco. 5. “Shall We Dance” (1996) The hook: The rom-com goes international with this Japanese film about a studious accountant who lives a secret life away from his wife — as a ballroom dancer. (Oh, my!) A guy’s take: Hollywood gobbled up the idea for a Richard Gere remake in 2004. But the Japanese version is funnier and truer to its universal message of self-discovery. 4. “High Fidelity” (2000) The hook: As a vinyl-loving record shop owner who spends all his time fawning over dusty grooves, John Cusack can’t figure out why he keeps losing girlfriends. A guy’s take: Classic soundtrack. Plus, few actors are better than Cusack at playing the acerbic aging hipster. His backup, Jack Black, is just as funny.

What’s Klingon for ‘Give thy thoughts no tongue’? Shakespeare troupe performs ‘Hamlet’ in ‘Star Trek’ tongue

Marc Okrand, with a “Star Trek” memento in his Washington, D.C., home, invented Klingonspeak for the movies and thought to try it on Shakespeare. He says Klingon was influenced by sounds and structures of American Indian, Chinese and Southeast Asian languages.

By Peter Marks The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Don’t you love that remarkable moment when roSenQatlh and ghIlDenSten exit the stage and Khamlet is left alone to deliver the immortal words: “baQa’, Qovpatlh, toy’wl”a’ qal je jIH”? No? Well, it always kills on Kronos. That’s the home planet of the Klingons, the hostile race that antagonizes the Federation heroes of “Star Trek.” We learned back in ’91 in “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” that the Klingons love Shakespeare. Or as he’s known to his ridged-foreheaded devotees in the space-alien community: Wil’yam Shex’pir. The line above might be more familiar to earthlings as “O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I!” But now, we Terrans have an opportunity to savor Shex’pir as the Klingons do. The Washington Shakespeare Company, that Arlington, Va., outpost of offbeat treatments of classic plays, is going where no D.C. enterprise has ever quite gone before, offering up Shakespeare in Klingon. At the company’s annual benefit Sept. 25, selections from “Hamlet” and “Much Ado About Nothing”

The Washington Post

will be performed in the language that was invented for the Klingon characters of the “Star Trek” films. Actors will be speaking the verse in two languages, English and Klingon, and the lines in each will correspond to the Bard’s signature meter: iambic pentameter. The translations are courtesy of the Klingon Language Institute, a Pennsylvania group that published “The Klingon Hamlet” several years ago, in addition to composing the Klingon version of “Much Ado About Nothing.” Of course, when considering

this curious approach to Shakespeare — eccentric even by the idiosyncratic standards of contemporary niche theater — the question inevitably arises: Why? As it turns out, the troupe has an answer so logical it might satisfy Mr. Spock. The chairman of Washington Shakespeare’s board just happens to be the man who invented Klingonspeak for the films: Marc Okrand, a longtime linguist at the Vienna, Va.-based National Captioning Institute. Then, too, Shakespeare sci-fi style appeals to the whimsical im-

pulses of the company’s longtime artistic director, Christopher Henley. “It kind of fits into our company identity, of trying to breathe some fresh air into the classics, of doing something really, really different with them,” he says. “ No kidding. This is the group that three years ago staged “Macbeth” in the nude. On this occasion, its actors will simply be cloaking the famous lines in words from the Klingon dictionary that Okrand published 25 years ago. Lines like “taH pagh taHbe’ “ — “To be or not to be.”

Shakespeare is, of course, one of the most widely translated writers on the planet: The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington has in its stacks the Bard’s work in more than 45 languages, according to Georgianna Ziegler, the Folger’s head of reference. “Hamlet” may be the play most frequently adapted in other tongues. “We have an Afrikaans ‘Hamlet’ from 1945,” Ziegler says, as she begins the alphabetical roster. “We’ve got ‘Hamlet’ in Albanian, Arabic, Belorussian, Bengali. ...” It turns out Hamlet speaks Icelandic, Latvian, Maltese, Old Turkish, Persian, Tamil and Welsh, too. The Klingon Language Institute’s director, Lawrence Schoen, a science-fiction writer who works as chief compliance officer for a medical center in the Philadelphia area, had applied once upon a time to the Folger for a fellowship to aid in the effort to translate Shakespeare into Klingon. Although he was turned down, the group, whose members are a small global band of Klingon speakers, independently had set about the task. The effort was inspired by a line from “Star Trek VI,” in which a Klingon chancellor played by English actor David Warner declares, “You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.” “What worked about that line for me was that nobody blinks,”

Schoen says. “Which can only be interpreted to mean that everybody agreed with what he said. That’s how it hit me.” To this former professor and advocate of the made-up language, an intellectual challenge was issued. Thoughts quickly turned to the question of which of the plays might be best savored in Klingon. “It’s not that the Klingons are warlike; they’re passionate,” Schoen says. “There are no half measures with anything that has to do with the Klingons. From that point of view, it made sense to start with the best Shakespearean play we’ve got.” The institute’s “restored Klingon version” of the play was put together in the mid-1990s by a linguist from Australia, Nick Nicholas, and an American, Andrew Strader. They worked from a vocabulary and syntax that Okrand developed in 1982 for “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock” and published three years later in “The Klingon Dictionary.” At gatherings of Klingon speakers today, some participants “take the vow” for the duration of the conference, promising not to speak in anything except Klingon — a feat even Okrand can’t accomplish. “Sometimes it’s like, ‘What have I done?’ ” he says, sitting in a coffee bar near his Washington home. “Of course, it’s a good feeling. I’ve created a game, and they’re having a really good time.”

C OV ER S T ORY

Pekar Continued from C1 A major influence in the underground world but never a big seller, he was always waiting for his cult fame to recede each time it unexpectedly crested. His obsessive drive combined with the sheer number of his collaborations produced a two-dimensional record of his shaggy life, rendered in varying styles by numerous illustrators. Now only his widow and the artists he worked with are left to narrate his final chapter, a tale of bruised feelings and allegations of opportunism, with nothing more at stake than the writer’s modest legacy. But no matter how it plays out, Pekar is bound to emerge as enigmatic as ever. As Dean Haspiel, an artist who worked with Pekar in his final years, said in an interview, “There was never one version of Harvey.” “Put it this way,” he added. “Nobody owns Harvey Pekar. Not even Harvey Pekar.”

Hope Davis starred as Joyce Brabner, left, and Paul Giamatti as Harvey Pekar in the 2003 film “American Splendor.”

SUDOKU SOLUTION IS ON C7

Bohemian celebrity Beginning in the 1970s, when Pekar, a longtime file clerk at a Veterans Affairs hospital, started writing American Splendor at the suggestion of the cartoonist R. Crumb, he enjoyed brief brushes with fame, and he was a recurring guest on “Late Night With David Letterman” in the 1980s. But when an “American Splendor” film was released in 2003, starring Paul Giamatti as Pekar and Hope Davis as Brabner, it introduced Pekar to a new generation of artists who regarded him as a bohemian celebrity. “There was always this dichotomy with Pekar,” said Joseph Remnant, a Los Angeles illustrator who started working with him in 2008. “He had his sophisticated, avant-garde writing gig, and the next day he had to go to work in this hospital.” Younger colleagues revered Pekar as much for giving them their earliest breaks as for his personality quirks. They now speak fondly of his raspy voice, his fixations on work and money, and his general disregard for modern technology. “He would still send faxes, long after no one else was sending faxes,” said Josh Neufeld, who drew Pekar’s stories for 13 years. “Sometimes he would call me up and dictate a script over the phone. Most of the time he would send it in the mail — snail mail.”

Winding down Brabner, however, coped with Pekar’s fragility along with his idiosyncrasies. His wife of 27 years and a guardian of their foster daughter, Danielle, Brabner, 58, a comics writer and political activist, helped nurse Pekar through his battle with lymphoma in the 1990s (as told in their graphic novel “Our Cancer Year”) and then through a recurrence of the disease. When Pekar was recently given another diagnosis of lymphoma, Brabner said she knew “he was really winding down.” In the final months of his life, Brabner said, her strategy was to “let Harvey be Harvey.” She allowed him to lapse on his diet of organic foods and go back to keeping Beefaroni in the house and, she said, “Little Debbies and potato chips hidden in linen cupboards and underneath sofas.” Brabner was long accustomed to her husband’s irrational fears, screaming nightmares and bouts of sleepwalking and depression, and to accommodating his neuroses. (If that meant, she said, “packing his things in transparent bags so he could find stuff, because he’d panic if he were traveling, I would do that.”) But his last illness took a toll on her. “He had real trouble getting up and doing things on a daily basis,” Brabner said. “That made him vulnerable to some people. Some people exploited that.” Facing Pekar’s degeneration, Brabner said, “it was my job to be the dragon, to be the guardian, to be the distraction.”

The Pekar Project Among the illustrators Pekar began working with in his final months was Tara Seibel, a Cleveland graphic artist. Seibel, 37, can still recall the exact date — March 20, 2008 — of the panel discussion at a local college at which they struck up their partnership. “I just sat down next to him,” Seibel said, “and we just started talking like we had known each other for a long time. He felt very comfortable with me.” Seibel made no secret of her admiration for the pioneering comic work of Pekar, whom she described as “a 70-year-old hipster who loved listening to the Beastie Boys in the car.” In turn he provided her with stories that she illustrated for publications like Chicago Newcity, The Austin

A Joseph Remnant illustration of comic-book writer Harvey Pekar. Chronicle and The Jewish Review of Books. Seibel was also one of four artists whom Pekar invited to work on the Pekar Project, which starting in 2009 was an effort to translate his work and persona to the Internet. Hosted by the website of Smith magazine, an online publication, the Pekar Project published more or less weekly installments written by Pekar and drawn by a rotating team that also included Remnant and the artists Sean Pryor and Rick Parker. Hoping to duplicate the success of earlier graphic-book projects that began as Smith magazine Web comics, the Pekar Project contributors deferred compensation for their online work, with the possibility of a payday if a book was published. “I totally understand, from a 20th-century point of view, why a deal like that might sound nuts,” said Jeff Newelt, the Smith comics editor and editor of the Pekar Project. But with hard work and luck, he said, it could produce a graphic novel that “sells 60,000 or 70,000 copies instead of 5,000,” instead of “getting 50 bucks upfront and you’re done.” The arrangement was different from what Pekar and Brabner were used to. “People think that they should get paid upfront, especially when they have a history of getting paid upfront,” said Haspiel, who runs his own Web comics site, act-i-vate.com. But Pekar agreed to it because “he understood that you have to promote yourself, and you have to be out there constantly,” Haspiel said. “Not only working with Joyce.”

Strained relationship As the Pekar Project continued, it became apparent that Brabner was displeased with one contributor in particular: Seibel, the only female artist involved, and the only one who worked face-to-face with Pekar. Seibel, whose husband and three children also became acquainted with Pekar, said Brabner would abruptly pull Pekar out of their telephone conversations, and that she tried to interfere with a Brooklyn book-signing event at which Seibel appeared with Pekar in November. Seibel said Pekar told her these conflicts were “for him to worry about,” not her. “He put it under his business,” she said. (Brabner declined to comment on these matters.) No one in their artistic circle believes the relationship between Pekar and Seibel crossed professional boundaries, but some could see how it strained Pekar’s marriage. “A part of him was enjoying the attention he was getting from this very good-looking young woman,” said Parker, one of the Pekar Project artists. “And, naturally, Joyce, how could she enjoy that? You don’t have to be a psychologist to see that one’s not going to be good.” Not even Pekar’s death quelled the tensions between Seibel, who has said she spent part of his last day alive with him, and Brabner. Among her husband’s work with Seibel that Brabner has objected to is an illustration cre-

ated for the catalog of “Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women,” an exhibition opening Oct. 1 at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. (Brabner said she was embarrassed that the show, ostensibly about Jewish women, is “being hyped by way of saying, ‘We’ve got an old dead Jewish guy.’ ”) Parker said he was contacted by Brabner, who wanted to “cut Tara out of the equation” of the Pekar Project’s work. Other people with direct knowledge of the project’s operations, but who did not want to speak for attribution for fear of offending Brabner, said she would not allow a book to be published if it included Seibel’s contributions. Brabner said Pekar left no formal will but might have signed a draft still buried among his papers. In any case, she said, “I’m the one who decides about what gets published and what doesn’t in any venue.” She declined to comment on a possible Pekar Project book. Newelt wrote in an e-mail that he hoped “we can still realize the vision of Harvey, myself and the team, and produce a wonderful Pekar Project book,” adding that Brabner “is a terrific writer herself, and I look forward to collaborating with her.” Seibel said it would be “extremely wasteful” if this book were to be prevented from happening.

Plenty to come In any event, there are many posthumous works to come. Remnant is illustrating a graphic novel called “Harvey Pekar’s Cleveland,” about the city’s history and Pekar’s upbringing, for a new imprint called Zip Comics. Random House is publishing at least two more of his graphic books: one, called “Huntington, West Virginia, ‘On the Fly,’ ” in which Pekar reflects on promoting his movie and other books, and a second, written with Brabner, called “Harvey and Joyce’s Big Book of Marriage.” And Farrar, Straus & Giroux plans to publish “Not the Israel My Parents Promised,” about Pekar’s thoughts on Israel and Zionism, illustrated by JT Waldman, which Brabner is helping complete. Haspiel, who illustrated Pekar’s 2005 autobiographical work “The Quitter,” said Pekar’s prolific output might have stemmed from his fears that he would die of Alzheimer’s disease, as both of his parents did. “The guy was unstoppable,” Haspiel said. “Of course, when you really read his stuff, he could only write about one thing, and that was himself, or his worldview. Which is what kept everything honest.”

‘A legend already’ Neufeld, an American Splendor artist, said he was skeptical about whether the coming books would add to Pekar’s reputation. Emphasizing his reverence for Pekar and his work, Neufeld said, “I don’t think they’re going to be all that consequential in relation to all the other stuff he did.” He was, Neufeld said, “a legend already, not to overstate it.” For now Brabner said her priority was burying Pekar’s ashes, near a spot in Cleveland where they walked on dates that he wrote about in American Splendor. “There’s nothing left,” she said. “He just looks like kitty litter.” She joked that she might solicit pennies from Pekar’s fans to raise money for a statue in his likeness. “Things being what they are,” she said, “we’re probably going to be lucky to get one of his shoes. If it is his shoe, it’ll be a shoe that’s untied.” Then she plans to return to the home that Pekar piled high with the vintage books and jazz records that she said were his true legacy. Imagining herself as an insect from Roald Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach,” she said, “I can just sit here and nibble them from the inside out, like some caterpillar.”

Ducks roll, Beavs come up short

Oregon’s Kenjon Barner (24) celebrates a touchdown while teammate Drew Davis looks on Saturday in Eugene.

Kenjon Barner scores five touchdowns as Oregon routs New Mexico, 72-0

Oregon State sticks with No. 6 TCU, but late safety seals Frogs’ 30-21 victory

By An n e M. Peterson

The Associated Press

EUGENE— The Ducks didn’t need LaMichael James against New Mexico, and they certainly didn’t miss Jeremiah Masoli. Kenjon Barner and Darron Thomas seamlessly filled the roles of running back and quarterback for No. 11 Oregon in its 72-0 blowout of New Mexico on Saturday. With James suspended for a game, Barner scored five touchdowns, four on the ground and another via a pass from Thomas. See Ducks / D7

ARLINGTON, Texas — TCU realizes it likely will have to be perfect again in the regular season for the chance at a BCS do-over. The sixth-ranked Horned Frogs didn’t slip up in a difficult season-opening test, despite a less-than-perfect performance. Andy Dalton ran for two touchdowns and threw for another score, making up two interceptions and leading TCU to a 30-21 victory Saturday night over No. 24 Oregon State. See Beavs / D7

Pair of Heisman winners cut as teams trim rosters

Tony Gutierrez / The Associated Press

Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz prepares to pass against TCU in the first half of Saturday’s game in Arlington, Texas.

LOCAL SPORTS

Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart and Troy Smith are looking for new teams. It was cut-down Saturday in the NFL, with teams required to trim their rosters to 53 players. Leinart, the 2004 Heisman winner from USC, was released by the Arizona Cardinals, who will open the season on Sept. 12 with former Oregon State standout Derek Anderson at quarterback against the St. Louis Rams. Leinart was among the biggest names to be let go. He came into the preseason expecting to take over for the retired Kurt Warner. But he was unimpressive in his first two games and Anderson — acquired from Cleveland after five up-and-down seasons — started the final two preseason games. Smith, the 2006 Heisman winner from Ohio State, was cut by the Baltimore Ravens after playing in 14 games over three seasons. — The Associated Press

Erik Skaggs, of Ashland, sank to his knees upon finishing. He swayed a few moments, coughing as he hunched over the ground. Three minutes later, runner-up Gilles Gonnett, of Lyon, France, reached the top and collapsed to the ground, trying to catch his breath. Gonnett lay on the dusty, loose lava

They had finished a brutal footrace, a 3-mile slough up a sandy lava rock path, with 2,595 feet of elevation gain to Bachelor’s 9,065-foot summit. “It was tough. I like running up mountains, though, so it was fun,” said Skaggs, 28, who broke the course record with a time of 33 minutes, 38 seconds.

The Bulletin

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — he NFL is not a league designed for repeat champions. No team has successfully defended its Super Bowl title since New England in 2003-04. Since the Patriots won back-to-back titles, no AFC team has made consecutive trips to the Super Bowl. Even more incredibly, no NFC team has made back-toback trips to the Super Bowl since the 1996-97 Green

N F L C O M M E N TA RY Bay Packers. The last time an NFC team won consecutive Super Bowls? It’s been 17 years since the Dallas Cowboys did it in 1992-93. “It’s so difficult to win the first one, much less win the second one,” said former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson, now an analyst for Fox.

S B Football • Houshmandzadeh released: T.J. Houshmandzadeh is gone from Seattle after just one season. Coach Pete Carroll continued his roster purge on Saturday as the Seahawks released players to reach the league-mandated 53-man roster. The most notable player gone is Houshmandzadeh, the Seahawks’ leading receiver from a year ago. Houshmandzadeh signed a $40 million, five-year deal before the 2009 season, including a guaranteed $7 million for the 2010 season. Also cut by the Seahawks was thirdstring quarterback J.P. Losman. The Seahawks were thrown a surprise Saturday as well when offensive line coach Alex Gibbs abruptly retired. • Bradford named Rams starting QB: No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford will start at quarterback for the St. Louis Rams in the regular-season opener at home against Arizona next weekend. Coach Steve Spagnuolo announced the decision Saturday, saying Bradford earned the job and everyone was confident in him. The game is Sept. 12.

Although Anton took the standings lead, fellow Spaniard Joaquin Rodriguez has the same overall time of 32:28:49. The stage began with a large crash 6.8 miles from the start that involved a number of the leading riders, including then race leader Philippe Gilbert of Belgium, who finished the stage 38th.

What did we learn about the NFL this preseason? By Jaime Aron The Associated Press

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets are supposed to be among the ranks of Super Bowl favorites. They sure didn’t look like it during the preseason. Of course, those games also didn’t count. That’s the trouble with trying to make sense of the preseason. We don’t know how much to take from the things we saw the last five weeks. Are the 49ers (4-0) really that good? The Colts (0-4) certainly aren’t that bad. (The 0-4 Bears, however, might be.) Since the standings aren’t a good barometer, let’s instead turn to some story lines that emerged from preseason. There are plenty to follow headed into Thursday night’s opener in New Orleans, with Brett Favre and the Vikings taking on Drew Brees and the Super Bowl champion Saints: • Dilemma in Dallas, nervous in New York: Tony Romo led just one touchdown drive in four preseason games, and it covered all of eight yards. The worrisome part for Jerry Jones’ crew is how many drives fizzled because of a shoddy offensive line and sloppy play close to the opponent’s goal line. The Cowboys say bland play-calling and a patchwork line are to blame. They insist everything will click once the season starts, with the debut of rookie receiver Dez Bryant giving them another boost. What else can they say? Whatever Jets coach Rex Ryan has to say is probably funny, filthy or both if you’ve seen his starring performance in “Hard Knocks.” But the most foul words New York could hear are “sophomore slump,” as in Mark Sanchez regressing in his second season. He doubled Romo’s preseason

From left to right, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger (7), Byron Leftwich, Dennis Dixon, and Charlie Batch, right rear, warm up before a preseason football game against Carolina in Pittsburgh Thursday. Roethlisberger is suspended for the first four games, and Leftwich is injured, leaving either Dixon or Batch in charge of the Pittsburgh offense. TD production with two amid excuses, er, explanations similar to those heard in Dallas. The club has another lingering issue with star cornerback Darrelle Revis still holding out. • Lambeau leak: Cleveland, Seattle and Kansas City all posted their highest point totals of the preseason against Green Bay. So the Packers don’t even want to think about what good offenses might do against their club. Defensive coordinator Dom Capers

can offer the same plausible reasons as the offensive coordinators on the Cowboys and Jets — Green Bay wasn’t going to show more than it had to in exhibition games. However, mounting injuries in the secondary (safety Atari Bigby, cornerback Al Harris) are a huge concern for a unit that already seemed overmatched against the top quarterbacks last season. Kurt Warner and the Cardinals racked up 51 points in the Packers’ last game that counted, a playoff loss. Green Bay defenders have the ben-

efit of practicing against a great quarterback: Aaron Rodgers, who led the Packers to seven touchdowns in 13 drives this preseason. • Replacing Roethlisberger: Pittsburgh was hoping Byron Leftwich could be enough of a game manager to get his club through Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension, which commissioner Roger Goodell on Friday cut to four games. But Leftwich got hurt in the preseason finale, leaving coach Mike Tomlin to choose between Dennis Dixon and Charlie Batch. Dixon is young, athletic and errorprone. He might be put on a short leash or find himself behind Batch, another game manager type. Then again, the Steelers had such little faith in him as Roethlisberger’s stand-in that they signed Leftwich. • Carolina’s shutout: The Panthers took 253 snaps this preseason. None resulted in a touchdown. That’s right, their offense went zerofor-the-preseason. The best they could muster was an offensive player, running back Mike Goodson, going 91 yards on a kickoff return. Sure, Carolina was missing receiver Steve Smith, running back Jonathan Stewart and right tackle Jeff Otah. Matt Moore was taking over as the No. 1 quarterback for the first time and rookie Jimmy Clausen was trying to steal the job. But, still — 253 straight plays without a touchdown? At least the defense is doing fine without Julius Peppers. The Panthers allowed the fewest yards and second-fewest points. The D even scored a touchdown, on a fumble return by defensive end C.J. Wilson. • The two-reality-host offense: Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco are getting along just fine. They aren’t fighting over

ratings or receptions. Ochocinco is calling himself Robin to Owens’ Batman, and quarterback Carson Palmer has dubbed himself Alfred, as in the butler to the original dynamic duo. It’s a great analogy because Palmer’s success revolves around keeping his wideouts happy. • Hey, ump!: The league moved umpires from the middle of the defense to behind the deepest running back to get them out of harm’s way. The problem is that’s still the best perspective, so they were supposed to get back there for the final two minutes of each half. Then the ump in the IndianapolisGreen Bay game failed to get in position before two plays, leading to a pair of illegal snaps against Peyton Manning. His complaints prompted the league to move the umpires to their old spots for the final five minutes of each half in Thursday’s preseason games. A decision on what to do this season is expected before the opener. • Preseason predictor: And now, back to the original question. How much can you read into preseason football? The oddsmakers at Bodog.com saw enough to change the Super Bowl betting line on 18 teams since the start of the exhibition season. The odds got better for only four clubs — and that includes Dallas and Green Bay. Let’s look at some recent history, too. The last five Super Bowl winners went a combined 12-8 in the preseason, ranging from 1-3 to 3-1; nothing significant there. When the Patriots went 16-0, they were 2-2 in the games that didn’t count. There was one noteworthy performance: the 2008 Detroit Lions went 4-0 in the preseason — and 0-16 in the regular season.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, September 5, 2010 D5

NFL Continued from D1 “With free agency, movement of players, in order to accomplish what you did when your team was hungry, you’ve got to keep them hungry. Any time you have success, you don’t get as hungry.” That’s the mountain the New Orleans Saints face this season

after winning the first Super Bowl in franchise history last season. “Once you get to the top of the mountain you’ve got to come back down and begin the journey to go back up,” said Saints coach Sean Payton, whose team opens defense of its title on Thursday night against Minnesota in a rematch of the NFC championship game. “I don’t think that you just stay

there. You have to start with the offseason and the mini-camps and then get through training camp, and you have to, hopefully, climb back up the same way you did the year before rather than you just stay up there trying to defend it. All off that, the journey, the process, is what you have to focus on.” Here are some things to watch for this season:

Three teams that are ready to explode • New York Jets: The Jets will be featured in at least four primetime games this season, starting with the Monday night opener against Baltimore. So clearly, ESPN believes the Jets, who reached the AFC championship game in Rex Ryan’s first season as coach and quarterback Mark Sanchez’ rookie year, will be a Super Bowl contender. The Jets didn’t stand pat in the AFC East arms race. They brought in Hall of Fame-bound RB LaDainian Tomlinson to pair with rookie Shonn Greene; traded for former Super Bowl MVP WR Santonio Holmes (who will be suspended for the first four weeks) and CB Antonio Cromartie; and signed DE Jason Taylor and K Nick Folk. “Whenever you make the kind of activity that the Jets did in the offseason, everybody expects big things . . . and we do,” said Tomlinson, who leads all active players with 153 career touchdowns. “We expect to be good. We expect to challenge for a Super Bowl. If you look at what this team did last year making it to the AFC championship, the question becomes, “Is anything less than that a failure?” So, the next step has to be a Super Bowl.”

• Dallas Cowboys: The Super Bowl comes to Dallas’ billiondollar playpen this season, and Jerry Jones expects his team to become the first to play a Super Bowl in its own stadium. The Cowboys hadn’t won a playoff game in 12 years before beating Philadelphia in a wild-card game last season. Dallas has a bear of a schedule, including back-to-back games against the two Super Bowl teams — on Thanksgiving against New Orleans and then at Indianapolis — plus trips to Minnesota and Green Bay, so they need to be near-perfect at home and in the NFC East. But they have the firepower on offense with QB Tony Romo fulfilling his potential last season (4,483 yards, 26 touchdowns, nine interceptions); a troika of running backs in Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice; and though he’s hurt right now, WR Dez Bryant was the steal in the draft and will team up with the emerging Miles Austin and dependable TE Jason Witten. On defense, OLB DeMarcus Ware (25 sacks the last two years) is unblockable.

• Houston Texans: The Texans, in the eighth year of the franchise, enjoyed their first winning season (9-7), and only a pair of three-point losses on consecutive weeks to Indianapolis and Tennessee cost them their first playoff spot. It’s about time all those premium draft choices such as Mario Williams, Amobi Okoye, Duane Brown and Brian Cushing developed alongside nonpareil receiver Andre Johnson. And Matt Schaub (4,770 yards, 20 TDs) is the best quarterback you never hear about. As a reward for their secondplace finish, the Texans will draw AFC powerhouses Baltimore and the Jets in addition to their home-and-home series with AFC South rival Indianapolis. Plus they get the rugged NFC East for nonconference games. If the Texans improve on 9-7, they will have earned it.

Maria Sharapova returns the ball to Beatrice Capra at the U.S. Open New York on Saturday. Sharapova won the match and advanced to the fourth round.

No love lost: Sharapova blanks U.S. teen 6-0, 6-0 By Howard Fendrich

Three teams primed for a meltdown • San Diego Chargers: How do you go into a season alienating three of your best players? That’s what the Chargers’ stubborn general manager, A.J. Smith, has done by not offering long-term contracts to OLB Shawne Merriman; OLT Marcus McNeill and WR Vincent Jackson. Yes, there are some unusual circumstances. Merriman had just four sacks in 2009 after coming off major knee surgery; and Jackson must sit out the first three games of the season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. But it appears McNeill, the cornerstone of the offensive line, and Jackson, the club’s top wide receiver, will sit the first 10 weeks and report for the final six games in order to accrue another season toward unrestricted free agency — if there is a season next year.

The Associated Press

• Minnesota Vikings: There’s a lot of bad karma surrounding this team. Quarterback Brett Favre, who turns 41 in October, will be hard-pressed to match last season’s 33-touchdown, seveninterception season if he’s still hobbling on a sore ankle. Then factor in WR Percy Harvin missing a substantial part of training camp because of a recurrence of migraines and No. 1 receiver Sidney Rice going on the physically unable to perform list after undergoing hip surgery. Let’s see if Adrian Peterson has solved his fumblelitis. Check out the schedule after their Oct. 3 bye: at N.Y. Jets; Dallas, at Green Bay, at New England.

• Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers are 68-28 with QB Ben Roethlisberger in the lineup since 2004, 3-3 without him. It’s up to either the well-traveled Charlie Batch or inexperienced Dennis Dixon (Byron Leftwich is injured) to hold the fort for the first four games Big Ben has to miss because of his suspension, Even if the Steelers go 2-2 in that stretch, look what awaits them after an Oct. 17 home game against Cleveland — road games at Miami, New Orleans and Cincinnati before a home breather against New England. Welcome back, Ben. The Steelers are going to have a hard time replacing Santonio Holmes’ 79 receptions, and that defense seems to be taking on age.

• Seahawks Pete Carroll: Most college coaches have a tough time adapting to the NFL (see Nick Saban, Bobby Petrino, Steve Spurrier, to name a few), but Carroll is no novice. He has four years experience as an NFL head coach and actually has a winning record in one season with the Jets and three with New England (33-31) plus a 1-2 postseason record with the Patriots. Carroll’s nice-guy approach didn’t always work with the pros. Let’s see if the rah-rah attitude that helped win two national championships at USC carries over to the Seahawks.

• Chiefs Todd Haley: OK, the time for excuses is over. Haley has proven coordinators he can trust in Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel. That will enable Haley, in his second year, to delegate authority and not have to micro-manage every detail. The Chiefs have two drafts and two offseasons of free agency to find their ‘Right 53.” And best of all, they have a favorable schedule that includes just three playoff teams from last year — San Diego (twice), Indianapolis and Arizona — so 8-8 is not too much to ask.

Three coaches to watch • Giants Tom Coughlin: He’s just two years removed from winning a Super Bowl, but Coughlin could be on borrowed time in New York, where the Jets have become the media darlings. After a 5-0 start last season, the Giants suffered a colossal collapse and finished 8-8. The last two games were the ugliest, 41-9 to Carolina and 44-7 to Minnesota, so Coughlin replaced his defensive coordinator and defensive line coaches. Coughlin, 64, could be next on the firing line if the Giants don’t improve.

Five MVP candidates

Five impact rookies

• Saints QB Drew Brees: It’s hard to forget Brees’ second-half performance when he completed 16 of 17 passes and earned Super Bowl MVP honors in New Orleans’ come-from-behind victory over Indianapolis. Brees played close to near-perfect all season, completing an NFL-record 70.6 percent of his passes and posting an NFL-best 109.6 passer rating. A similar season this year could earn him his first MVP and second Super Bowl ring. • Colts QB Peyton Manning: He’s already won a league-record four MVPs, so Manning always has to be part of this conversation. Manning has led Indianapolis to 115 regular-season wins since the start of the 2000 season, the most by a team in a single decade; at least 12 wins in seven consecutive seasons, an NFL record, and can tie Dallas (1975-83) with a record nine consecutive playoff seasons. The one constant in all those wins is Manning. • Titans RB Chris Johnson: Johnson was the NFL offensive player of the year in 2009 when he became the sixth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. Johnson, who rushed for 100 yards in the final 11 games of the 2009 season, is more than just a runner. He also led the Titans with 50 receptions and set an NFL record with 2,509 yards from scrimmage, breaking the mark set by Marshall Faulk (2,429 in 1999) when the Rams won the Super Bowl. • Dallas QB Tony Romo: If the Cowboys are going to break through and become the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium, Romo has to take his place as one of the game’s elite quarterbacks. Last year, Romo took every snap for the first time in his career and guided the Cowboys to a division title and won his first playoff game. The next step is homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, and that would include the Super Bowl. • Vikings DE Jared Allen: We had to throw one defensive player in the mix, so Allen gets the nod over division rival QB Aaron Rodgers, who he sacked 7 ½ times in two games last season. Since coming into the league in 2004 with the Chiefs, no player has more sacks than Allen, who has 72, including 14½ in each of his first two seasons with the Vikings. Allen has the ability to turn a game with a big play.

• Falcons OLB Sean Weatherspoon: It’s never quiet when the former Missouri star is around. The loquacious Weatherspoon has the athletic ability and versatility to stay on the field on all four downs. He’s a tackle machine capable of making the big play— 10.5 percent of his tackles at Missouri came from behind the line of scrimmage. He also returned two interceptions for TDs; and he blocked a punt on his first play as a Tiger. • Lions RB Jahvid Best: All of the attention has been on DT Ndamukong Suh, but the speedy Best can be a difference-maker along the lines of a Chris Johnson in Tennessee. Best is a threat to go the distance every time he touches the ball. He had 34 career runs of 20-plus yards in his three years at Cal, including 11 of 60 yards or more and four of 80 yards plus. • Chiefs WR Dexter McCluster: Sometimes he’s a running back. Sometimes he’s a slot or wide receiver. And always, he’s a playmaker. McCluster kept running out of his shoes in training camp, and the Chiefs hope he can be a matchup problem for defenses with too much quickness for linebackers to cover and too much speed for safeties. • Raiders MLB Rolando McClain: The Butkus Award winner can be a cornerstone of a rebuilt Raiders defense. McClain not only can stuff the run inside and chase down runners from behind on sweeps, he deflected four passes, intercepted two passes and had 14 quarterback pressures and four sacks last season for national champion Alabama. • Jets CB Kyle Wilson: The Jets must have had an inkling about Darrelle Revis’ holdout when they not only traded for Antonio Cromartie but took Wilson with their first-round pick. Wilson, inserted in Revis’ starting spot at the beginning of the preseason, was a lockdown corner at Boise State, starting the last 45 games for two undefeated teams. He intercepted 11 passes for 139 yards in returns (12.6 avg.) with two touchdowns in his college career, and he was a dangerous punt returner, including two for touchdowns of 90 and 79 yards.

NEW YORK — Maria Sharapova knows the story all too well: An unknown American kid shows up at the U.S. Open, upsets a seeded player, gains some buzz and belief, then gets a shot at Sharapova in the third round. In 2009, that kid was Melanie Oudin, who beat Sharapova en route to the quarterfinals. In 2010, that kid was Beatrice Capra and, well, let’s just say that Sharapova fared a little better this time around. Overwhelmed by the stage, the circumstances, the 25 mph wind that knocked the neon lime visor off her head during a point, and — most of all — a solid Sharapova, the 18-yearold Capra didn’t win a game, let alone the match. Instead, 2006 U.S. Open champion Sharapova set up a fourth-round showdown with No. 1-seeded Caroline Wozniacki by blanking the 371st-ranked Capra 6-0, 6-0 on Saturday in Arthur Ashe Stadium. “This was a new day,” said Sharapova, the first woman to win love-and-love at the U.S. Open in the third round or later since Martina Navratilova did it in the 1989 quarterfinals. “And what happened last year — I didn’t really want to go into the match thinking about it.” On her very first serve of the afternoon, Capra nearly sailed the ball all the way to the opposite baseline. That might have been a result of nerves and the ever-swirling wind, which made the U.S. flag above the stadium flap loudly and caused four midpoint stoppages in play when debris rolled onto the court. Plenty of brown, concessionstand napkins and one plastic sandwich bag floated out of the stands; even two white towels made like tumbleweed. “This is probably the toughest conditions we’re going to get,” Sharapova said. Actually, other than whiffing on one serve return, Sharapova handled the conditions rather well; others did not. Fourthseeded Jelena Jankovic, the 2008 runner-up at Flushing Meadows, shanked one serve straight up in the air off the top of her racket frame and finished with 41 unforced errors in a 6-2, 7-6 (1) loss to No. 31 Kaia Kanepi of Estonia. “You get frustrated with the wind,” Jankovic said, “because you want to hit balls in (a) certain direction, and they go everywhere except where you want them to go.” There were no such surprises in men’s action. Five-time U.S. Open champion Roger Federer reached the fourth round by beating Paul-Henri Mathieu 64, 6-3, 6-3; No. 3-seeded Novak Djokovic had no trouble getting past American wild card James Blake 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-3 at night; No. 5 Robin Soderling, twice a French Open finalist, defeated Thiemo de Bakker 6-2, 6-3, 6-3; No. 19 Mardy Fish outlasted 32year-old Arnaud Clement, the oldest man left, 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. Fish now takes on Djokovic for a berth in the quarterfinals. Also, No. 13 Jurgen Melzer

beat 2003 French Open champion Juan Carlos Ferrero 7-5, 6-3, 6-1; No. 21 Albert Montanes advanced when qualifier Ken Nishikori quit in the second set with a groin injury, two days after winning a grueling fivesetter; and No. 17 Gael Monfils picked up a 7-6 (4), 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-4 win over Janko Tipsarevic, who knocked off 2003 U.S. Open champion Andy Roddick in the second round. Asked to describe the weather, Monfils said: “Awful. I mean, for me: awful.” Capra, who’s from Ellicott City, Md., and trains at the Evert Academy in Florida, acknowledged struggling with the wind. She also acknowledged feeling jitters, and who could blame her, really? She won a U.S. Tennis Association playoff in August to earn a U.S. Open wild card; not only was this her first Grand Slam tournament — it was her first tour-level, maindraw event, period. She became the lowest-ranked woman since 2002 to reach the U.S. Open’s third round by beating 95th-ranked Karolina Sprem in the first round, then 18th-seeded Aravane Rezai in the second. And now she found herself going up against the 23-yearold Sharapova, someone Capra said she looked up to “when I was younger.” They never had met until Saturday. So what was that like? “Before the match, she would just walk past me and kind of, like, give me a glare, which is kind of intimidating,” Capra said. “After the match, when we shook hands, she was really nice.”

Oudin, who knows Capra from her junior days, sent a text message after the victory over Rezai, offering advice. “I should have talked to Melanie before the match, because I was wondering — I was like, ‘Was Melanie this nervous before she played?’” Capra said. “I didn’t get the chance to, but I probably should have.” Then again, the Capra of 2010 is not exactly the Oudin of 2009, a player who already had risen to 70th in the rankings before the U.S. Open, thanks to a run to the fourth round at Wimbledon that summer. And, to be fair, the Sharapova of 2010 is not exactly the Sharapova of 2009, either. “She doesn’t give you anything,” noted Capra, whose exit leaves Venus Williams as the only U.S. woman in the field. “Even though she’s beating me that badly, she’s still so focused.” 2009 U.S. Open runner-up Wozniacki has won 36 of 39 games so far, including Saturday’s 6-1, 6-0 victory over Chan Yung-jan of Taiwan. That followed a 6-0, 6-0 shutout — known in tennis as a “double bagel” — in the second round. Other women advancing Saturday included No. 7 Vera Zvonareva, the runner-up at Wimbledon in July; and No. 15 Yanina Wickmayer, who lost to Wozniacki in the 2009 semifinals in New York.

ROUNDUP

SCOREBOARD

No. 21 LSU holds on against short-handed North Carolina The Associated Press ATLANTA — With the NCAA lurking around Chapel Hill and some of its best players sitting in the stands, North Carolina found itself in a most improbable position. The 6-yard line with a few seconds on the clock, a touchdown and an extra point away from actually winning the game. T.J. Yates took one shot at the end zone, the ball slipping through the hands of Zack Pianalto. Then one last throw to the same guy. Same result. No. 21 LSU held on for a 30-24 victory Saturday night, but the 18th-ranked Tar Heels almost pulled it out after going down by 20 at halftime. There may be no such thing as a moral victory, but this was about as close as you can get. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been prouder of a group of kids,” North Carolina coach Butch Davis said. “The way they fought to get themselves back into the ballgame. We didn’t play very well in first half. We made so many mistakes in kicking game, we really put ourselves in a hole. But one thing that defines your character and your guts is your ability to compete.” Patrick Peterson had 257 yards — including an 87-yard touchdown — on kickoff and punt returns, leading LSU (1-0) to a 30-10 lead at the break. Not surprising, given the Tar Heels were missing 13 key players because of NCAA investigations over relationships with agents and possible academic violations. But North Carolina made a game of it against all odds, scoring two second-half touchdowns, then getting two shots at the win after recovering an onside kick and a fumble. Yates threw for the last of his career-high 412 yards to reach the LSU 6, with enough time to get off a couple of passes. He went to Pianalto at the back of the end zone. The throw was on the hands but a little behind the senior tight end, who couldn’t hold on with a defender bearing down on him. Two seconds remained, time for one more snap. Yates rolled to his right and spotted Pianalto again, this time lurking right at the goal line. The throw was low — it had to be to avoid the coverage — and again it slipped through his hands. Yates pleaded desperately for an interference call, but the officials simply trotted off the field. The quarterback then bent over and pounded the turf of the Georgia Dome in frustration.

LSU Tigers quarterback Jordan Jefferson, right, tosses a touchdown pass over North Carolina Tar Heels defensive end Quinton Coples, center, in the first quarter of Saturday’s game in Atlanta. He didn’t have anything to be ashamed of, that’s for sure. Neither did his team, which looked as though it was headed for a blowout. “Everything happened so fast,” Yates said. “We were just reacting. The whole sequence was hectic.” Also on Saturday: No. 1 Alabama. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 San Jose State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Trent Richardson ran for two touchdowns, Greg McElroy passed for 218 yards and Alabama began defense of its national championship by beating San Jose State. The Crimson Tide (1-0) shrugged off the absence of injured Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and suspended defensive end Marcell Dareus in the opening mismatch. No. 4 Florida . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 Miami (Ohio) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Jeff Demps had a long scoring run, John Brantley added a fluky touchdown pass late and Florida overcame an error-filled game to beat Miami (Ohio). The Gators (1-0) used four interceptions, several red-zone stops and two late touchdowns to avoid a meltdown. No. 5 Texas. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 Rice . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 17 HOUSTON — Tre’ Newton ran for three touchdowns, while quarterback Garrett Gilbert was up and down in his first college start for Texas (1-0). Gilbert, who threw four interceptions filling in for Colt McCoy in the loss to Alabama in the BCS title game, didn’t turn the ball over in this one.

No. 7 Oklahoma . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 Utah State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 NORMAN, Okla. — DeMarco Murray ran for 218 yards and two touchdowns and converted a key fourth down, helping Oklahoma (1-0) survive an unexpected scare from Utah State.

Washington starts fast, but BYU prevails in the end The Associated Press PROVO, Utah — The twoquarterback system questioned by many before BYU’s season opener is 1-0. Riley Nelson and Jake Heaps shared the job and combined to lead the Cougars to a 23-17 win over Washington on Saturday, getting some help from the defense with a second-half shutout. Nelson threw for two touchdowns and he and Heaps both finished with 131 yards passing in front of some of their greatest predecessors. BYU invited its former all-American quarterbacks back for the weekend for a scholarship fundraiser and halftime ceremony. “You’re part of the fraternity. You’re taking snaps,” Nelson said. “You can’t play bad because those guys didn’t.” The honorees included Jim McMahon, who ran the alumni flag onto the field before the game, Steve Young and Steve Sarkisian, who is now Washington’s coach. While it was a celebration of BYU’s quarterback history, the Cougars’ defense kept Washington’s Jake Locker from taking over the game. Locker, who returned for his senior season, threw incompletions twice on fourth down in BYU territory as the Huskies were driving for what could have been the go-ahead touchdown. Locker finished 20 of 37 for 266 yards and a touchdown. He also had 11 carries for 10 yards and one rushing touchdown, but was stymied while trying to lead the Huskies to score after they led 17-13 at halftime. “I think as a football team we played with good effort,” Locker said. “We shot ourselves in the

PAC - 1 0 R O U N D U P foot and made mistakes that were crucial.” In other Pac-10 games on Saturday: Arizona State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 Portland State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 TEMPE, Ariz. — Cameron Marshall scored on three of his four first-half carries, and Arizona State used a quick-hitting offense to overwhelm Portland State. Marshall made the most of his limited opportunities, scoring on runs of 50, 38 and 5 yards to help the Sun Devils build a 30-6 halftime lead. Steven Threet looked sharp in his first start for Arizona State, throwing for a school-debut record 239 yards and a pair of swing-pass touchdowns to Deantre Lewis. Sisters High graduate Cory McCaffrey started at running back and gained just 12 yards on 11 carries. But he also caught three passes for 26 yards. Oklahoma State. . . . . . . . . . . . . 65 Washington State . . . . . . . . . . . .17 STILLWATER, Okla. — Kendall Hunter rushed for 257 yards and four touchdowns out of Oklahoma State’s new-look offense and the Cowboys beat Washington State. Jeff Tuel completed 14 of 29 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown for Washington State (0-1). Washington State went 3-22 the past two seasons and things began badly for the Cougars on Saturday as James Montgomery — making a return from a career-threatening leg injury he suffered last season — fumbled on the game’s first play and Oklahoma State’s Ugo Chinasa recovered at the Cougars’ 20. Two plays later, Hunter scored and Washington State

never recovered. Kansas State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 UCLA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22 MANHATTAN, Kan. — Daniel Thomas rushed for 235 yards and two touchdowns and Kansas State rallied for a victory over UCLA before a crowd of 51,059, the biggest for a home opener in Wildcats’ history. There were three touchdowns in the final 123 seconds and Kansas State had two, including Thomas’ 35-yard gallop after the Wildcats fell on UCLA’s onside kick. After Carson Coffman’s 5-yard TD pass to Brodrick Smith put Kansas State ahead 24-16 with 2:03 left, Kevin Prince led the Bruins on a lightning-quick drive, hitting Cory Harkey for 35 yards and then connecting with Ricky Marvray on a 29-yard TD toss. With 1:19 to play, the Bruins elected to go for 2. But Prince’s pass into the end zone fell incomplete. California . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 UC Davis. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 BERKELEY, Calif. — Kevin Riley threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns in just more than a half of work, Jeff Tedford became California’s winningest coach in the modern era and the Golden Bears beat UC Davis for a sixth win in their last seven season openers. Shane Vereen ran for two scores and caught a touchdown pass, all in the first half. Freshman Keenan Allen ran 18 yards for a second-quarter touchdown, then caught a 48yard TD pass from Riley to start Cal’s second-half scoring. Stanford . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 Sacramento State . . . . . . . . . . . .17 STANFORD, Calif. — Andrew Luck threw a career-high four

touchdown passes in helping Stanford win its first game without Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart, beating Sacramento State in the season opener for both teams. Luck completed 17 of 23 passes for 316 yards, including an 81-yard scoring toss to Doug Baldwin and a 59-yard touchdown to Stepfan Taylor. Luck also threw TD passes of 15 yards to Baldwin and 5 yards to Zach Ertz.

GOLF ROUNDUP

Snedeker and Day share lead through two rounds in Boston The Associated Press

Rick Bowmer / The Associated Press

Oregon running back Kenjon Barner runs to a touchdown in the second quarter on Saturday,

Ducks Continued from D1 He ran for a career-high 147 yards as Oregon racked up a school-record 720 yards in total offense. Thomas completed 13 of 23 passes for 220 yards and two scores in his debut as starter after the dismissal of Masoli in the offseason. If the Ducks were trying to put their troubled recent past behind them, it worked. “I guess it says a lot,” Barner said. “Numbers don’t lie.” Oregon’s point total tied the Autzen Stadium record the Ducks set in 1999 against Nevada. The most points Oregon has ever scored is 115, against Puget Sound back in 1910. New Mexico was also looking for a fresh start. The Lobos were 1-11 last season under coach Mike Locksley, who had an altercation with a former assistant and was named in a sexual harassment complaint. But the Lobos, who managed just 107 total yards on offense, were no match for last year’s Pac-10 champions. B.R. Holbrook made his debut as New

Mexico’s starter, and completed just 11 of 24 passes for 70 yards with two interceptions. “We’re disappointed. I feel like our team has a different mentality from last season, but we didn’t execute today,” Holbrook said. “Oregon is the reigning Pac-10 champ, so you have to give them credit. But you never think things will go that badly.” Barner subbed for James because the running back was suspended for a game after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge that stemmed from a conflict with an ex-girlfriend. James watched from the sideline Saturday wearing an “O” T-shirt and khaki shorts. He will return to the Ducks next weekend when they visit Tennessee. Also a return specialist, Barner had 1,553 all-purpose yards last season. He had 225 against New Mexico, and his one catch was a 60-yard catch and run from Thomas in the second quarter. “I’ve been saying all along, I think he’s the most underrated player in the country,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. “Today he got a chance to shine. We’ve

always felt that we’ve had 1A and 1B. We run the ball 40 times a game; one guy is not going to get all the carries.” Standing in for Barner on the return team was Cliff Harris, who returned two punts for touchdowns, an Oregon record for one game. The Lobos had a setback in the first half when defensive lineman Carmen Messina, who led the nation with 162 tackles last season, got hit hard and injured his left ankle. He did not return. New Mexico is now 7-44 against ranked opponents. The last time the Lobos played a Pac-10 opponent, they beat Arizona 36-28 in 2008. It was the Lobos’ biggest margin of defeat since losing 94-17 to Fresno State in 1991. The last time the Lobos were shutout was in 2007, when they lost 37-0 to TCU. New Mexico hosts Texas Tech next weekend. “This was a wake-up call for the whole team. We can’t point fingers and fall apart,” defensive end Johnathan Rainey said. “We need to come together as a team and make up for each other’s mistakes.”

Oregon State wide receiver James Rodgers (8) looks for running room against TCU cornerback Greg McCoy in the first half of Saturday’s game in Arlington, Texas.

Beavs Continued from D1 “We just beat the a 24thranked team that I think should be ranked higher. I think it was a pretty good game. That’s how I judge quarterbacks,” coach Gary Patterson said. “A game like this, it didn’t have to be style points.” Eight months after Dalton threw three interceptions in a Fiesta Bowl loss to Boise State that soured the Horned Frogs’ breakthrough season, he scored on a 4-yard keeper at the end of the third quarter to put TCU ahead for good. Dalton hit 17 of 27 passes for 175 yards and ran 17 times for another 64 yards while becoming TCU’s winningest quarterback. His 30th career victory snapped a tie with “Slingin’ Sammy” Baugh, who had held the mark alone since the mid-1930s. Dalton is also the winningest active FBS quarterback. “He’s very confident, crafty, and quick,” Beavers coach Mike Riley said. “Quick decision-maker, impressive player with really a lot of quick weapons around him.” Ed Wesley ran for 134 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Jeremy Kerley caught six passes

for 49 yards and a score, and set up a touchdown with an impressive punt return. The loss spoiled the homecoming for brothers Jacquizz and James Rodgers. Both scored touchdowns for Oregon State in their first college game in their home state. They are from Richmond, about 4½ hours south in the Houston area. “Those guys did a great job containing us, but we left a lot of plays out there today,” said James Rodgers, who had four catches for 75 yards. Jacquizz Rodgers, who ran 18 times for 75 yards, was the Texas AP high school player of the year in 2007, playing at Lamar Consolidated. Dalton’s interceptions came on the first TCU drive of each half, and both led to Beaver touchdowns. Linebacker Dwight Roberson stepped in front of tight end Evan Frosch on a short thirddown throw at the Beavers 13 in the second half — after the Frogs had held the ball for seven minutes. That led to Jacquizz Rodgers scoring from a yard out for a 21-all tie. TCU then went 71 yards in 12 plays, the last Dalton’s 4-yard run. Ryan Katz made his first start

at quarterback for the Beavers and was nine of 25 for 159 yards and two touchdowns. He also had to kick the ball out of the back of the end zone for a safety with about 4 minutes left. The play also gave the ball back to TCU and pretty much ended any chance the Beavers had to come back. Katz was calling an audible when the center snapped the ball over the quarterback’s right shoulder. “We should have stayed with the play,” Katz said. “That was on me. It was just a bad check.” While not as gutsy as the fake punt Boise State used to set up the decisive score in the Fiesta Bowl against TCU, the Beavers used a little trickery of their own. On fourth-and-1 from its 43, Hekker took the deep snap and then threw a 23-yard pass to Jordan Poyer. Katz threw a 34-yard TD on the next play to Jordan Bishop for a 14-7 lead. TCU’s Kerley caught a 1-yard touchdown to tie the game at 14 midway through the second quarter, then set up another score before halftime when he took a low punt on the run and bolted 34 yards up the right sideline. Wesley made it 21-14 on an 8yard run in the final minute of the first half.

NORTON, Mass. — About the only thing fun for Jason Day was being atop the leaderboard in the Deutsche Bank Championship. One day after he opened with a 63 in conditions so calm he might as well have been playing indoors, Day found out quickly what he was up against Saturday in tree-shaking wind on the TPC at Boston. He hit a tee shot down the middle and found it in the right rough. He aimed his 9-iron 10 yards left of his target and saw it fly over the green. Day got away with it by chipping in for birdie on his way to a 4-under 67 to share the lead with Brandt Snedeker, the second straight week the 22-yearold Australian has been a 36hole leader in the FedEx Cup playoffs. “It was a little tougher out there today,” Day said. “It wasn’t as fun as yesterday, I’ll tell you that much.” Snedeker went from the rain showers of Hurricane Earl to breezy conditions in his second round and had a 7-under 64. The wind got stronger throughout the afternoon for Day, who birdied his last two holes to catch Snedeker. For all the fretting over weather giving half the field a good break, it turned out to be a push. Of the top 18 on the leaderboard, it was evenly split with players who had to cope with rain and who got the worst of the wind. “I wasn’t liking my odds in the draw when I teed off yesterday,” Snedeker said. “That being said, I think it’s going to end up working out exactly the same. I think these guys in the afternoon are going to have the tough conditions we had yesterday afternoon.” Tiger Woods turned his game around at the right time. In jeopardy of missing the cut and missing out on the rest of the FedEx Cup playoffs, Woods didn’t hit a bad shot through six holes and played bogey-free for the first time in more than a year for a 6-under 65 that left him in the middle of the pack. Woods, who started in a tie for 87th, moved up to a tie for 29th and was seven shots behind with 36 holes to play. “I had to shoot a good one if I was going to move on,” Woods said. “And I was able to do that today.” Day, in the 36-hole lead for the second straight week in these playoffs, and Snedeker were at 12-under 130. They were one shot ahead of FedEx Cup leader Matt Kuchar (65) and Charley Hoffman (67), with Luke Donald (67) another shot behind.

Brandt Snedeker acknowledges the gallery after making a birdie putt on the ninth hole during the second round at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Mass., Saturday. Defending champion Steve Stricker made it through another round without a bogey and was at 9-under 133, while Phil Mickelson started hitting fairways and making putts and was in the group at 8-under 134 that included Ryder Cup hopeful Stewart Cink, Hunter Mahan, Zach Johnson and Andres Romero, who only got into the 100-man field by making a 40foot birdie putt on the final hole last week. The top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings advance to the third round next week outside Chicago. Fifteen players were eliminated by missing the cut, including Chad Campbell under bizarre circumstances. He was disqualified Saturday morning when officials realized he had never registered for the tournament, a simple formality. “Just can’t believe you make a mistake like that,” Campbell

said. Snedeker didn’t make hardly any in beautiful morning conditions, except for a bogey on his opening hole. He responded with a birdie on the par-3 11th, then really took over on the easy stretch of holes to start the front nine, which includes a reachable par 5 and a driveable par 4. Snedeker made four birdies in a five-hole stretch. “Two or three birdies is realistic to expect,” Snedeker said. “But you can’t get down on yourself if you don’t make birdies.” Padraig Harrington, a European Ryder Cup pick last week, missed the cut and might be eliminated from the playoffs. Also on Saturday: Schulz fires 64 on Champions Tour PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Ted Schulz shot an 8-under 64 — his best competitive round in nearly 20 years — at Pebble Beach to take a three-stroke lead over first-lead leader Mark Calcavecchia and Tom Kite in the First Tee Open. The 50-year-old Schulz, a two-time PGA Tour winner who has only conditional status on the Champions Tour, had nine birdies — all from 15 feet or closer — and one bogey in the second round to reach 12under 132. Calcavecchia, who held a two-stroke over Tom Pernice Jr., after an opening round 64 at Del Monte, had a 71 at Pebble Beach. Kite shot a 68, also at Pebble Beach. Jimenez takes three-shot lead into final round CRANS-SUR-SIERRE, Switzerland — Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez shot a 3-under 68 to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the European Masters. The 46-year-old Jimenez, a two-time winner this year, is 17 under. Italy’s Edoardo Molinari, the Johnnie Walker winner last week in Scotland, was second after a 68.

Castroneves stretches fuel to win in Kentucky By Will Graves The Associated Press

SPARTA, Ky. — Helio Castroneves crossed the finish line in front. This time it counted. The IndyCar star won the Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night, squeezing the last 53 laps out of one tank of fuel and then taking advantage when the leaders were forced to make last-second pit stops to fill up. It was the second victory of the season for Castroneves, at least officially. Unofficially, he considers it his third. He led the field to the wire at Edmonton in July, but was dropped back to 10th after officials penalized him for blocking with a couple of laps to go. Castroneves was fined $60,000 and placed on probation. He’s over it. Almost. When he was introduced to the media after getting a fistbump from Cincinnati Bengals star Terrell Owens in Victory Lane, Castroneves couldn’t help but tweak the moderator. “Just a little correction, it was the third win,” he said, laughing. He also considers it a bit of redemption. Castroneves was yards away from winning at the 1.5-mile oval two years ago only to run out of fuel exiting Turn 4, allowing Scott Dixon to steal the win. Not this time. While the leaders zipped around the track at 220 mph, Castroneves slowed down after pitting on lap 147 when race strategist Tim Cindric suggested he could win if he went a little easy on the throttle. Castroneves was skeptical at first, but with 20 laps to go the math started to get easier. When the leaders took turns heading down pit road for splash-and-go stops with a handful of laps left, Castroneves steadily made up

ground. In the end, he had more than enough to ease past pole-sitter Ed Carpenter, who matched a career-best second place finish. Dan Wheldon was third, followed by Tony Kannan and Dario Franchitti. Points leader Will Power led 83 laps but slipped to eighth after a late-race slip. The bobble allowed Franchitti to draw within 17 points with two races remaining. The series races in Japan on Sept. 19. “We finished ahead of Will, which was one of the things we needed to achieve, but it would have been nice to have finished a little further up,” Franchitti said. A week after a pit road gaffe cost Power a chance at his first oval victory, a slight bobble while getting up to speed shortly after exiting the pits cost him in the Bluegrass. Power dominated the middle of the race but briefly got loose while heading into Turn 3. He narrowly missed the wall, but the break in momentum prevented him from making inroads on the leaders, meaning the road-racing star will have to wait a little longer to breakthrough when forced to turn left instead of left and right. “I’m going to get it one day,” Power said. “We led plenty of laps. We’ll get there.” Ultimately it wasn’t speed, but strategy that mattered. Castroneves led three laps, but they were the final three, allowing him to do his trademark fence climb in celebration. Danica Patrick was ninth. Defending race champion Ryan Briscoe, who edged Carpenter by 0.0162 seconds last year, finished 24th after getting collected in a three-car pileup with Vitor Meira and Simona de Silvestro.

AUTO RACING: NASCAR SPRINT CUP

Hamlin is on pole for Atlanta race By Paul Newberry The Associated Press

HAMPTON, Ga. — Denny Hamlin started chasing the championship during qualifying Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Mired in a bit of a midseason slump, Hamlin showed signs of turning things around by claiming the pole for today’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race with a speed of 187.380 mph. He edged traditionally strong qualifier Ryan Newman, who’ll start from the outside of the front row after a lap of 187.070. The rest of the top five for the Emory Healthcare 500 was Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart. “I’m a very bad qualifier,” Hamlin said, “so I’ll take it.” He claimed the eighth pole of his career and the 50th for Joe Gibbs Racing, which won its first pole with Bobby Labonte at Martinsville in 1995. Hamlin has five wins this season, but it’s been nearly three months since his last victory. He’s coming off a 34thplace finish at Bristol and is fifth in the point standings. While that’s still safely within the 12-driver Chase for the Championship, which will be set at Richmond next week, Hamlin wants to recapture the dominance he showed over a 10-race stretch that included five wins and two other topfive finishes. “I feel like the last 10 races have definitely been up and down for our team,” he said. “We were on such a hot streak there. We kind of got spoiled. The regular season was kind of irrelevant at that point because we knew we were going to get in the Chase.” Hamlin said the team started racing for victories instead of points. “We’re going to treat these next two weeks as if we’re Chase racing,” he said. “We found ourselves going for wins so much, going all-out for wins, that it probably hurt us in the long run. These next two weeks, we’re going back to points racing.” Hamlin wanted to get that

McMurray holds off Busch to win Nationwide race H A MPTON, Ga. — Jamie McMurray’s first win of the season is making Kyle Busch wait for another try at Nationwide Series history. McMurray held off Busch to win the Great Clips 300 Nationwide Series race Saturday night at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Busch, trying to become the first driver in the 28-year history of the Nationwide Series to win 11 races in a season, fell short in his late efforts to catch McMurray. Busch led the most laps in the race but finished second, ahead of Carl Edwards and less than a second behind McMurray. McMurray, who raced to his first Nationwide Series win in Atlanta in 2002, won for the first time since 2004 in Darlington. Sam Ard won 10 Nationwide races in 1983. Busch matched that mark in 2008. Busch’s 10th win this season came on Aug. 20 in Bristol, Tenn. — The Associated Press

new attitude started with a strong qualifying run, and that’s just what he got from his No. 11 Toyota Camry. “We brought our best stuff,” he said. “I’m trying to get cautiously optimistic, but that’s the fastest car I’ve ever had on the race track. It was very, very, very good.” If all goes according to plan, Hamlin will have a couple of high finishes — maybe even another win or two — heading into the 10-race Chase. “I’m trying to do the best I can to pretend the Chase starts here,” he said. “Hopefully, we can start some momentum now, so we’re really hitting our stride when the Chase starts.” Failing to make the 43-car field were Jason Leffler, Landon Cassill, Scott Riggs and Todd Bodine.

Climb Continued from D1 “It’s a little bit higher here than Ashland though, so I was sucking some wind at the top. You pretty much start out at oxygen debt immediately and you don’t really come out of it too much. That’s the biggest challenge.” Third-place finisher Mitch Thompson praised the runners who finished ahead of him. “These guys are some of the fastest runners in the nation and perhaps the world,” noted Thompson, who finished in a time of 36:23. “He (Skaggs) beat Max King’s record and Max is at the world championships right now.” The first-place female was

Bend’s Katie Caba, clocking in at 40:48. “It hurts even when you’re walking,” said Caba, 39. “You never get a break. Even when you are walking or hiking, I’m still completely out of breath like I’m sprinting. But I love it at the same time. It’s a love-hate race for sure.” Trailing less than two minutes behind Caba was Jenn Shelton, 26, of Ashland (42:16). “I’m not very good at climbing, my legs won’t go, so it’s hard to make it really hurt,” said Shelton. “I’m not good enough to make it hurt.” The pain is “the point” of racing added Shelton. In third was Jen Sventek, of Bend (43:06). More than 70 runners took part in the 13th annual Sunrise

to Summit footrace on Saturday, hosted by Mt. Bachelor Sports Education Foundation in conjunction with the Bend to Bachelor Duathlon and the Mt. Bachelor Hill Climb Time Trial. Nearly 100 duathletes took part in Bend to Bachelor, and 11 finished the time trial. The TT was a cycling race up Century Drive with a standard staggered start. The duathlon started with a cycling portion from Bend’s Seven Peaks School in Southwest Bend up Century Drive to Bachelor’s Sunrise Lodge. From there, duathletes hopped off their bikes and ran/hiked up Bachelor along with the Sunrise to Summit runners. “I haven’t been able to hike very much this year, so this last part (the run) was fairly brutal … was just survival,” said Er-

icka Luckel, 37, of Bend, with a chuckle. “I’m glad it’s done.” Luckel was the first female finisher in the duathlon with a time of 2:08:35. The men’s duathlon winner was Michael Condon, 23, of Bend (1:51:50). The winning duathlon team was Bend’s Eric Martin and Paul Parsons, clocking in at 1:46:19. The men’s and women’s time trial winners were Peter Christoff, 28, of Bend (1:03:28), and Cindy Lewellen, 43, of Portland (1:21:41). “I love challenging myself,” said Caba, summing up the footrace, “and I love being in the mountains.” Katie Brauns can be reached at 541-383-0393 or kbrauns@ bendbulletin.com.

DAVID BROOKS

In a parallel dimension, Obama chose right

he Democrats could be heading toward a defeat of historic proportions in November, but it is possible to imagine a scenario in which things might have turned out differently: On Dec. 16, 2008, President-elect Barack Obama and his senior aides gathered for a briefing on the state of the U.S. economy. It was horrifying. The economy was on the verge of collapse. Many of Obama’s advisers had been reading histories of the New Deal. They had ambitious plans to address the crisis: federal jobs programs, new building projects, new spending initiatives. This was no time to worry about deficits, they said. This was an opportunity to address needs that had been neglected for decades. Obama, in this fanciful version, held up his hand. He told his aides to put away the history books and reject the New Deal comparisons. Unlike in 1932, Americans today have a raging distrust of Washington, he observed. Living through a crisis caused by excessive debt, they will viscerally recoil at the prospect of federal debt without end. “Somehow,” Obama concluded, “we have to address the crisis without further terrifying the American people.” The stimulus package, he continued, should rely heavily on cutting payroll taxes. This, he argued, will send a quick jolt to the economy without concentrating power in Washington. It will deliver a sharp psychological boost to the middle class. It might even be bipartisan. Obama noted that John McCain had a $445 billion stimulus plan along these lines and his fellow Republican senator, Mel Martinez, a $713 billion plan. Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic committee chairmen were upset. For decades they’d been storing up spending proposals. This was their chance to pass them all. The president told the House speaker she would get many of her priorities, but not in a 100-day rush. Privately, Democratic aides developed a political strategy they called Save Nancy From Herself. She may know San Francisco, they warned, but she doesn’t know America. If she has her way, the Democratic Party will spiral back to 40 percent support and she’ll be minority leader again. Above all, Obama and his aides wanted to avoid the big government versus small government debate of the past few decades. This was the one argument Republicans knew how to fight and the one argument Democrats were bound to lose. Instead, they sought to frame the argument around growth and productivity — Democratic growth plans versus Republican growth plans. At about that time, General Motors and Chrysler started teetering. Obama decided to help the companies if they were willing to make the tough choices that would boost long-term competitiveness. For decades, Obama told the nation, America had squandered its advantages and now the crisis had come. There would be no quick fixes. But in this winter of recession, America could rebuild its foundations. It could lay the groundwork for real and lasting prosperity. Obama put signs around the White House: “No Quick Fixes.” Administration officials were forbidden from promising a short-term summer of recovery. In March, Congress passed an omnibus spending bill, stuffed with earmarks. Obama vetoed it. By this time it was clear Republicans were going into rejectionist mode. They were opposing everything. April brought the cruelest fight: whether to spend the rest of the year getting health care reform or a new energy policy. Obama decided to do energy first. The economy was uppermost on everybody’s mind. Americans were wondering where new innovations would come from, what new jobs would emerge. By doing energy first, Democrats were able to spend the entire summer talking about technological advances, private sector growth and breakthrough productivity gains. Americans didn’t like all of it. But this wasn’t conventional big government liberalism. The Democrats seemed to be a serious party attending to serious things. When November 2010 rolled around, the unemployment rate was still high, but Democratic leaders had prepared voters for that. In the meantime, America was strengthening itself for better days ahead.

Can

teachers be graded? Some doubt accuracy of system used to evaluate their effectiveness

By Sam Dillon New York Times News Service

How good is one teacher compared with another? A growing number of school districts have adopted a system called value-added modeling to answer that question, provoking battles from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles — with some saying it is an effective method for increasing teacher accountability, and others arguing that it can give an inaccurate picture of teachers’ work. The system calculates the value teachers add to their students’ achievement, based on changes in test scores from year to year and how the

students perform compared with others in their grades. People who analyze the data, making a few statistical assumptions, can produce a list ranking teachers from best to worst. Hundreds of school systems, including those in Chicago, New York and Washington, are using value-added modeling to measure the performance of schools or teachers. Many more are expected to join them, partly because the Obama administration has prodded states and districts to develop more effective teacher-evaluation systems than traditional classroom observation by administrators.

So much for scarce parking

or some time now, Bend officials have struggled to persuade employees of downtown businesses to park in the city’s expensive new garage rather than on the street.

Downtown surface parking is a limited commodity, the thinking goes, and it should be freed up for paying customers and tourists. It now seems, however, that downtown street parking isn’t as scarce or important as we’ve all been led to believe. If it were, the city wouldn’t have allowed the recent transformation of a Minnesota Avenue parking space into a 12-bike parking corral. We have nothing against cyclists. On the contrary, cycling is an important part of Bend’s culture and, for many, its appeal. But the city’s downtown already has many bike racks that don’t displace cars, and it’s preparing to install a lot more. Meanwhile, the city’s parking garage is right around the corner from the new bike corral. Located on the garage’s bottom floor is — you guessed it — a large bike rack. Downtown bike parking doesn’t seem to us to be in short supply. But assuming it were, why increase the supply by using one of the city’s supposedly precious on-street spaces? Given the proximity of the corral to the garage, why not expand bike parking there? Not only is bike parking in the garage covered — unlike the new corral — but the garage is where city officials want employees of downtown businesses to park. Users of the new corral are as likely (if not more likely) to be employees of nearby businesses as tourists and others for whose benefit the city pro-

If the city needs more bike parking, it ought to provide it in the lowest-impact manner possible. vides downtown surface parking. Supporters of the new corral point out that it occupies only one of many parking spaces. That’s true, but it’s beside the point. If the city needs more bike parking, it ought to provide it in the lowest-impact manner possible. Instead, it’s done just the opposite. For exactly that reason, the new corral has symbolic value. It says that Bend values bikes so much that it’s willing to sacrifice a precious parking space to serve their owners, even though there are less disruptive ways to accomplish the same thing. City officials are certainly entitled to send that message, but they should realize that supporters of alternative transportation aren’t the only people who’ll hear it. So will the very downtown employees the city has been trying to chase into the garage. Now that the city has indicated that it really isn’t serious about preserving surface parking, officials shouldn’t be surprised if employees who drive cars respond accordingly.

Election Day looms W

e know it’s only September, and the beginning of September at that, but Election Day will be here sooner than you might think. In fact, it’ll be here much sooner than Nov. 2, which is, technically speaking, Election Day. That’s because ballots will hit the mail Oct. 15, allowing Oregonians to vote in a mere six weeks. Between now and then, civically active Central Oregonians will have to follow a large number of races. The most prominent of these is, of course, the suddenly nasty gubernatorial race between Democrat John Kitzhaber and Republican Chris Dudley. But Oregonians also will choose a U.S. senator, a state treasurer, congressional representatives, legislators and numerous county and local officials. They’ll also weigh in on seven statewide ballot measures dealing with home loans, annual legislative sessions, gambling and a couple of the usual suspects: medical marijuana and criminal sentencing. In short, there’s a lot going on this fall, and some of it’s going to be quite contentious. Readers who’d like to join the debate by writing letters and op-ed pieces should keep a couple of

things in mind. First, don’t wait until the last minute — or even the last couple of weeks — to mail or e-mail letters. We print letters roughly in the order in which they arrive, and they arrive in evergreater numbers as Election Day approaches. Though we print as many letters as we can, some late submissions inevitably do not appear. Second, letters must adhere to our guidelines, which appear regularly on the editorial page. We’re not going to repeat all of them here, but most of the letters we send back violate rules covering length and personal information. Submissions to My Nickel’s Worth must be no longer than 250 words, while those to In My View must be between 600 and 800. And all submissions must include the following information: first and last name, mailing address and phone number. The biggest mistake any would-be voter can make, however, is failing to register. Fortunately, you can register to vote these days without leaving your seat, at least as long as you have a computer hooked up to the Internet. Just grab your driver’s license and head to the secretary of state’s website: www.sos.state.or.us/elections/.

Forest Service forgot principles By Colleen Kruse Bulletin guest columnist

n Aug. 3 In My View column (“Bad management, science behind Forest Service dog rule”) described how the Deschutes National Forest has not followed the management principle of applying restrictions conservatively. One rationale for this principle is that restrictions can have a huge negative impact on people. Forest management decisions often are supported by some people and opposed by others. Put differently, the decisions generate benefits and costs. DogPAC believes that the Forest Service should recognize and be transparent about this. It should implement policies only when benefits clearly outweigh costs — or provide a justification when this commonsense principle is violated. This principle has been promoted by many of our leaders, from Benjamin Franklin to Ronald Reagan. As the latter expressed in Executive Order 12291: “Regulatory action shall not be undertaken unless the potential benefits to society from the regulation outweigh the potential costs to society.” It also follows the Forest Service’s own principles. Gifford Pinchot, the agency’s first chief, noted that “where conflicting interests must be reconciled, the question shall always be answered from the standpoint of the greatest good of the greatest number in the long run.” The “greatest good” means that the chosen policy reflects the most positive balance of benefits relative to costs. Apparently, the Deschutes National Forest has never considered the costs of its restrictions on dog owners. In response to DogPAC’s public records

request, the forest provided approximately 7,500 pages of recreation-related documents. We did not see a single reference to the impact on dog owners from the three local orders that restrict our access. In the past three-plus years, we have participated in dozens of hours of meetings with the forest. It was not until a June 8 meeting, after our public records process, that a forest employee recognized that the local orders have had an impact. What does this say about how the Deschutes National Forest values its dog-owning citizens? One of the Forest Service’s guiding principles is: “We strive for quality and excellence in everything we do and are sensitive to the effects of our decisions on people and resources.” Yet this forest clearly has not been sensitive to the effect of its decisions on dog owners. Rather than recognizing and addressing the costs, it has tried to convince dog owners and the general public that the forest provides good dog-friendly opportunities. Such statements are disingenuous and misleading. DogPAC exists precisely because the costs have been substantial. Individuals and businesses have donated thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of their time to create even the limited opportunity represented by the Wanoga winter trail. We created that trail because this forest bans us from the “normal” cross-country ski and snowshoe trails. Dog owners also risk expensive fines to engage in off-leash recreation on quality summer trails precisely because the alternatives are poor. The fact that they are willing to take those risks illustrates the cost imposed by the restrictions.

The costs are clear even without all this. The forest’s own data show the popularity (and thus quality) of the Green Lakes and other restricted trails. Off-leash recreationists clearly bear a substantial cost by being banned from these trails during the bulk of the season. One could reasonably expect the forest to use available information from other sources. As indicated in the Oregon Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, published in January 2003 (before the river trail and wilderness restrictions), 35 percent of Oregonians took a dog along while hiking, 41 percent while horseback riding, and 25 percent while cross-country skiing or snowshoeing (despite no access to groomed trails). Likewise, a 2004 Bend Park & Recreation District research report showed that off-leash access was the largest unmet need in the community. The Deschutes National Forest knew, or should have known, that the restrictions would impose significant costs on the hundreds of thousands of dog owners who visit the forest. When compared with the small number of complaints relating to encountering dogs in the forest, it is difficult to believe that the benefits of the current restrictions even come close to outweighing the costs. Moreover, skillful management can be used to reduce the costs while maintaining benefits. DogPAC supports restrictions on a limited set of trails, which would allow dog owners access to quality trails while continuing to provide alternatives for “off-leash averse” forest users.

Sarah Palin becoming America’s favorite political celebrity

arah Palin is going to Iowa to be the headliner at a Republican fundraiser. In the state that will be the first to hold a contest in the 2012 presidential campaign, even if it has to do it in 2011. Her staff says this means nothing whatsoever, but let us acknowledge that Palin is on a roll. She’s got her own TV show, not counting Fox News. And she twitters! Or somebody does it for her. Hard to tell which. Her twit on the president’s Iraq speech was: “may make u want to dig out ur old Orwell books so rewritten history can be deciphered.” On the one hand, the sentence construction does have that Sarah ring to it. On the other, how many of you think that Palin has old Orwell books hanging around the house? May I see a show of hands? And she endorses candidates. In the Republican primary for the United States Senate race in Alaska, her pick, a hitherto unknown person named Joe Miller, beat the incumbent, Lisa Murkowski.

Whether Palin’s backing made any difference to the 28 percent of eligible voters who flocked to the polls is unknowable. But Palin’s endorsement did inspire the Tea Party Express to give Miller nearly $600,000 for TV commercials, which he used to brand Murkowski as a liberal insider who changes her positions “more often than a moose sheds its antlers” and as a member of a family that regards itself as entitled royalty. “We stayed on the high road,” Murkowski said when she finally conceded Tuesday. She originally got her Senate seat from her father, Frank, who held it before her and then decided to appoint Lisa as his successor when he moved on to the state’s governorship. So the royalty ad may have had a point, although I’m sure the bit about the antlers was over the top. Almost no one expected her to lose — certainly not the Alaska Democratic Party, which had dumped its nomination on Scott McAdams, the affable mayor of Sitka, a town with 9,000 people and no

GAIL COLLINS road access. He seems to be an intelligent and wellspoken guy. But the choice was apparently based on the fact that the party’s state convention was held in Sitka and McAdams was, if not well-known, at least extremely handy. Anyhow, Miller’s victory was another big win for Palin in this year’s primaries, and it was followed by the news that she was going to appear at a fall fundraiser in Iowa — the Iowa of Iowa presidential caucus fame. So very hard to imagine Palin as a presidential candidate. So very easy to imagine her on a reality TV show. “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” is set to premiere in

November on TLC, the cable network that was known in happier days as The Learning Channel. One of the episodes will reportedly involve an educational visit to Alaska by Kate Gosselin and her twins and sextuplets, who also have a reality show on TLC that used to be known as “Jon & Kate Plus Eight” until her husband ran off with a large number of different women. Kate Gosselin appeared last year on “Dancing With the Stars,” and Bristol Palin will be competing on it this fall, holding what is apparently the Recent Break-Up slot in the competition. While Levi Johnston, the father of her baby, runs for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, on his own reality show. The Palins are now reality-TV royalty, like the Blagojeviches and the Ozzy Osbournes. In her spare time, the former governor of Alaska is making speeches at $75,000 a pop. To which she must be flown firstclass, per her standard contract, or in a private plane that “MUST BE a Lear 60 or larger.” This is a new, emerging “Life-

styles of the Rich and Famous” version of Palin. In her public comments, Sarah is still just a down-home gal, making moose chili for the kids and assuring an NRA convention that she and Todd prefer sleeping in the back of their truck to paying for a motel room. A new Vanity Fair profile by Michael Joseph Gross suggests that Palin does still cut costs by being an extremely bad tipper. The piece also resurrects the charge that she does not actually hunt, and claims that Todd had to scour the neighborhood to find some moose to put in that chili when a TV crew came to call. This is not the first time Palin’s hunting creds have been questioned. I think it is time for her to take a pool of reporters out into the woods, bring down a moose and dress it on the spot. Maybe she could compete with other allegedly outdoorsy politicians, like Joe Miller. Maybe they could call it “Shooting With the Stars.” Gail Collins is a columnist for The New York Times.

O Old problems with old solutions T

he post-Cold War new world order is rapidly breaking apart. Nations are returning to the ancient passions, rivalries and differences of past centuries. Take Europe. The decades-old vision of a united pan-continental Europe without borders is dissolving. The cradle-to-grave welfare dream proved too expensive for Europe’s shrinking and aging population. Cultural, linguistic and economic divides between Germany and Greece, or Holland and Bulgaria, remain too wide to be bridged by fumbling bureaucrats in Brussels. NATO has devolved into a euphemism for American expeditionary forces. Nationalism is returning, based on stronger common ties of language, history, religion and culture. We are even seeing the return of a two-century-old European “problem”: a powerful Germany that logically seeks greater political influence commensurate with its undeniable economic superiority. The tired Israeli-Palestinian fight over the future of the West Bank is no longer the nexus of Middle East tensions. The Muslim Arab world is now more terrified by the re-emergence of a bloc of old familiar non-Arabic, Islamic fundamentalist rivals. With nuclear weapons, theocratic Iran wants to offer strategic protection to radical allies such as Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas, and at the same time restore Persian glory. While diverse, this

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON rogue bunch shares contempt for the squabbling Sunni Arab world of rich but defenseless Gulf petro-sheikdoms and geriatric state authoritarians. Turkey is flipping back to its pre20th-century past. Its departure from NATO is not a question of if, but when. The European Union used to not want Turkey; now Turkey does not want the shaky EU. Turkish revisionism now glorifies the old Ottoman sultanate. Turkey wants to recharge that reactionary model as the unifier and protector of Islam — not the modern, vastly reduced secular state of Kemal Ataturk. Weak neighbors Armenia, Cyprus, Greece and Kurdistan have historical reasons to tremble. Japan’s economy is still stalled. Its affluent population is shrinking and aging. Elsewhere in the region, the Japanese see an expanding China and a lunatic nuclear North Korea. Yet Japan is not sure whether the inward-looking United States is still credible in its old promise of protection against any and all enemies. One of two rather bleak Asian futures seems likely. Either an ascendant

China will dictate the foreign policies of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, or lots of new freelancing nuclear powers will appear to deter China since they cannot count on an insolvent U.S. for protection. Oil-rich Russia — deprived of its communist-era empire — seems to find lost imperial prestige and influence by being for everything that the U.S. is against. That translates into selling nuclear expertise and material to Iran, providing weapons to provocative states such as Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, and bullying neighbors over energy supplies. Closer to home, Mexico has become a strange sort of friend. It devolves daily into a more corrupt and violent place than Iraq or Pakistan. The fossilized leadership in Mexico City shows no interest in reforming, either by opening its economy or liberalizing its political institutions. Instead, Mexico’s very survival for now rests on cynically exporting annually a million of its impoverished and unhappy citizens to America. More interested in money than its own people, the Mexican government counts on the more than $20 billion in remittances that return to the country each year. But American citizens are tired of picking up the tab to subsidize nearly 15 million poor illegal aliens. The growing hostility between the two countries is reminiscent of 19th-century tensions

across the Rio Grande. How is America reacting to these back-to-the-future changes? Politically divided, committed to two wars, in a deep recession, insolvent and still stunned by the financial meltdown of 2008, our government seems paralyzed. As European socialism implodes, for some reason a new statist U.S. government wants to copy failure by taking over ever more of the economy and borrowing trillions more dollars to provide additional entitlements. As panicky old allies look for American protection, we talk of slashing our defense budget. In apologetic fashion, we spend more time appeasing confident enemies than buttressing worried friends. Instead of finishing our border fence and closing the southern border, we are suing a state that is trying to enforce immigration laws that the federal government will not apply. And as sectarianism spreads abroad, we at home still pursue the failed salad bowl and caricature the once-successful American melting pot. But just as old problems return, so do equally old solutions. Once-stodgy ideas like a free-market economy, strong defense, secure borders and national unity are suddenly appearing fresh and wise.

The rug should quote James Carville’s famous admonition: “It’s the economy, stupid!” There should be a special message for John Boehner, the Republican leader who has been strutting around as the Speaker-in-Waiting and who led the Republicans on Tuesday in their inane effort to deny Obama credit for anything by spending the day reminding the people that it was W.’s war.

to pull their wacky ideas out of their policy holsters, they should have to look down and read the warning from Al “Scarface” Pacino about his machine gun: “Say hello to my little friend.” While he’s at it, the president who naively yearned for unanimity when he had a majority might put this legend around the border of his carpet: “Postpartisanship doesn’t work with Mitch McConnell.” And for all of us who have that sinking feeling that the economic rug is being pulled out from under us, the president might stitch in the famous warning from “Jaws”: “We’re going to need a bigger boat.” Maureen Dowd is a columnist for The New York Times.

Inside Pennsylvania’s gubernatorial race PHILADELPHIA — hen Pennsylvanians go to the polls on Nov. 2, they will have to do more than choose a new governor to succeed term-limited Democrat Edward Rendell; they have to break one of two historical precedents. If they choose Democrat Dan Onorato, the 49-year-old elected executive of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), they will end a 64-year period in which the governorship has alternated between the parties every eight years. On the other hand, if Republican Attorney General Tom Corbett, the early favorite, wins, he will have succeeded where every other attorney general who tried for the top job failed. Because the history of this office is weighty in terms of national politics, with figures like Rendell, Tom Ridge, Dick Thornburgh, Milton Shapp, Bob Casey and Bill Scranton all playing prominent parts in their parties, the outcome may be more important than the highly publicized fight for Arlen Specter’s Senate seat. But because both candidates come out of the West and neither is well-known in the Philadelphia media market, where 40 percent of the voters live and elections are usually decided, both spent last weekend shaking hands and rubbing shoulders at neighborhood

DAVID BRODER events in this city — classic retail campaigning in a race that only this week has moved into TV advertising. Onorato, who was something of a surprise winner of the four-way Democratic primary and is now in his first statewide race, concentrated on African-American street festivals in South and West Philly. While Democrats have a statewide registration edge of 1.2 million voters, Onorato, a lawyer-accountant from a big Italian family who talks a managerial brand of politics, is heavily dependent on others to gin up the turnout he needs in Southeast Pennsylvania. Rendell, whose popularity has slumped elsewhere in the state, retains his following in the Philadelphia suburbs and will boost Onorato there. Onorato was happy to see Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter show up at one of the street festivals. “People are angry,” Nutter told this reporter, “but they’ve got to understand it’s still an

important choice.” The long recession has blighted Democratic chances here, as elsewhere, but Pennsylvania has fared somewhat better than other industrial states — and Pittsburgh better than the rest of the state. That’s allowed Onorato to brag that he has not voted for a property tax increase in all his years on the City Council and as county executive. He said Rendell has been his role model. And that provides Corbett with his opening. A career prosecutor who served as U.S. attorney before winning twice as AG, Corbett, 61, is silver-haired, portly and looks more like a governor than the buzz-cut, balding Onorato. His claim to fame is that his investigations of corrupt legislators have so far sent several of them to jail. In this race, he has modeled himself on Chris Christie, the freshman governor of New Jersey, promising, like Christie did, to oppose new taxes and to shrink state government. Corbett’s lineage is in the great tradition of Pennsylvania moderates. He was recruited to help run George H.W. Bush’s first campaign by Elsie Hillman, the grand dowager of the GOP who, with her wealthy husband, sponsored two generations of Republicans from Hugh Scott and John Heinz down to Specter and Ridge.

Faced with a tea party challenger in the primary, Corbett moved right, signed Grover Norquist’s no-tax pledge, joined a lawsuit challenging the legality of the Obama health care bill and signed an amicus brief in support of the Arizona immigration law, creating issues in the moderate suburbs. In a gaffe certain to be exploited by the Democrats, he also said to an interviewer that employers had told him workers were turning down job offers in favor of drawing unemployment compensation. “The jobs are there,” he said, “but if we keep extending unemployment, people are just going to sit there.” He later apologized for the remarks. Corbett interrupted his handshaking Sunday at the Reading Terminal, a collection of farmers markets and restaurants, to visit with his only daughter, a Philadelphia prosecutor, and her husband, an African-American antinarcotics cop. Then it was on to a German-American festival and the annual Philadelphia Republican organization summer picnic — where prospects for a good November soared so high the band even stole the Democratic anthem, “Happy Days Are Here Again.”

MAUREEN DOWD The cream-of-wheat-colored rug is made of 25 percent recycled wool and features 100 percent recycled quotes around the border that have significance for Obama. The quotations chosen by Obama include FDR’s “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”; Martin Luther King Jr.’s “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice”; Lincoln’s “Government of the people, by the people, for the people”; JFK’s “No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings”; and Teddy Roosevelt’s “The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us.” Given the cunning tableau on the Mall over the weekend by Glenn Beck and Palin, in their artful and frightening mix of theology and tea party ideology, the president might be better served by a carpet that prompts him to get his groove back. The first thing the once-inspirational orator should embroider around the rug, the maxim that sums up so much of what’s wrong with the administration now, is the immortal line from “Cool Hand Luke”: “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.” Sidetracked by the mosque fight and now admirably plunging into brokering a Middle East peace, Obama clearly

A test for Middle East moderates resident Barack Obama is embarking on something I’ve never seen before — taking on two Missions Impossible at the same time. That is, a simultaneous effort to heal the two most bitter divides in the Middle East: the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the ShiiteSunni conflict centered in Iraq. Give him his due. The guy’s got audacity. I’ll provide the hope. But kids, don’t try this at home. Yet, if by some miracles the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks that opened in Washington, D.C., on Thursday do eventually produce a two-state solution, and Iraqi Shiites and Sunnis do succeed in writing their own social contract on how to live together, one might be able to imagine a Middle East that breaks free from the debilitating grip of endless Arab-Israeli wars and autocratic Arab regimes. Obama deserves credit for helping to nurture these opportunities. But he, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, and the newly elected leaders of Iraq need to now raise their games to a whole new level to seize this moment — or their opponents will. Precisely because so much is at stake, the forces of intolerance, extreme nationalism and religious obscurantism all over the Middle East will be going all out to make sure that both the Israeli and Iraqi peace processes fail. The opponents want to destroy the idea of a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians, so Israel will be stuck with an apartheid-like, democracy-sapping, permanent occupation of the West Bank. And they want to destroy the idea of a one-state solution for Iraqis and keep Iraq fractured, so it never coheres into a multisectarian democracy that could be an example for other states in the region. I hope that one of my personal rules about the Middle East is proved wrong — that in this region extremists go all the way and moderates tend to just go away. Obama was right to keep to his troopwithdrawal schedule from Iraq. Iraqi politicians need to stand on their own. But this is tricky. The president will not be remembered for when we leave Iraq but for what happens after we leave. That is largely in Iraqi hands, but it is still very much in our interest. So we need to retain sufficient diplomatic, intelligence, Special Forces and Army training units there to promote a decent outcome. Because all the extremists are now doubling down. Last week, insurgents aligned with al-Qaida boasted of killing 56 innocent Iraqis. On Tuesday, Palestinian gunmen murdered four West Bank Israeli settlers, including a pregnant woman; Hamas proudly claimed credit. In Israel, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who heads the largest ultra-Orthodox party, Shas, used his Shabbat sermon to declare that he hoped the Palestinian president and his people would die. “All these evil people should perish from this world. … God should strike them with a plague, them and these Palestinians,” Yosef said. Trust me, this is just the throat-clearing and gun-cleaning. Wait until we have a deal. Even if Israel agrees to swap land with the Palestinians so that 80 percent of the Jewish settlers in the West Bank can stay put, it will mean that 60,000 will still have to be removed. It took Israel 55,000 soldiers to remove 8,100 Jewish settlers from Gaza, which was never part of the Land of Israel. Imagine when today’s Israeli Army, where the officer corps is increasingly drawn from religious Zionists who support the settler movement, is called on to remove settlers from the West Bank. None of this is a reason not to proceed. It is a reason to succeed. There is so much to hate about the Iraq war. The costs will never match the hoped-for outcome, but that outcome remains hugely important: The effort to build a decent, consensual government in Iraq is the most important democracy project in the world today. If Iraqi Sunnis, Kurds and Shiites can actually write a social contract for the first time in modern Arab history, it means that viable democracy is not only possible in Iraq, but everywhere in the region. The late Israeli leader Yitzhak Rabin used to say he would pursue peace with the Palestinians as if there were no terrorism and fight terrorism as if there were no peace process. That dual approach is one that Iraqi, Arab, Palestinian and Israeli moderates are all going to have to adopt. I hope the forces of moderation are up to it. The bad guys will be offering no timeouts.

Obama’s not-so-magic carpet ride WASHINGTON — f we wanted earth tones in the Oval Office, we would have elected Al Gore. (Oh, yeah, we did.) On the night we were reminded that George W. Bush ended up in the White House and heedlessly, needlessly started the war with Iraq, President Barack Obama did his Mission Relinquished address from his redecorated man cave. The Oval Office was done over by chichi decorator Michael Smith, who was paid $800,000 to refurnish the lair of the former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain to the tune of $1.22 million — an effort that featured the notorious $35,000 antique commode. The Oval Office, the classiest, most powerful place on Earth, is now suffused with browns and beiges and leather and resembles an upscale hotel conference room or a ’70s conversation pit. It almost made me long for the Technicolor swagging and swathing style of the Clintons’ Little Rock decorator, Kaki Hockersmith. The recession redo, paid for by the nonprofit White House Historical Association, was the latest tone-deaf move by a White House that was supposed to excel at connection and communication. It might have been wise, given America’s slough of despond, to hark back to a time when presidents just went to work and took their office pretty much as they found it, without the need to make a personal statement. In the era after Taft and before FDR, the green rug in the Oval was changed only once, when it wore out, to a new green rug.

Tony Blair delivers a frank memoir Former British PM narrates tales of war, political contemporaries “A Journey: My Political Life” by Tony Blair (Alfred A. Knopf, 702 pgs., $35)

By Tim Rutten Los Angeles Times

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s memoir “A Journey: My Political Life” is a political biography of unusual interest. As a book, it’s unusual because he wrote it himself, which makes this volume unique among the English-speaking world’s recent political autobiographies. It also gives “A Journey” a disarming frankness that a professional collaborator almost certainly would have manicured away, along with anecdotes that are unintentionally self-revealing. There are also the extraordinary circumstances surrounding its publication. Blair reportedly received an estimated $7.5 million advance for his memoirs, but advance interest appeared slight. Then came the announcement that he will donate all proceeds to a charity for wounded British military veterans. Amazon UK now says “A Journey” appears set to become its best-selling political memoir ever. Clearly this guy did not successfully fight three British general elections without a flair for getting attention.

On America’s side The book’s nearly simultaneous launch in Britain and the United States this week also signals Blair’s desire to be regarded as a trans-Atlantic figure. Blair expresses not only his deep regard for Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, but also the fact that, during his 10 years in office, he “came to love America.” His memoir, he writes, “is a story about America, as well as, evidently a history of my time as British PM.” Given the donation of this memoir’s royalties to Britain’s Iraq war casualties, a great deal of attention is likely to focus on Blair’s second thoughts concerning those conflicts. To put it concisely, he doesn’t have any. “I have often reflected as to whether I was wrong,” he writes. “I ask you to reflect as to whether I may have been right.” He continues to argue, convincingly in this reader’s mind, that the Afghan action was a war of necessity to uproot the perpetrator of 9/11 — al-Qaida — and its Taliban sponsor, though he does admit he underestimated the depth of Afghanistan’s failure as a nation. In the case of Iraq, he argues that after 9/11 it simply was irresponsible to take the chance that any government sharing any part of the terrorists’ views or goals wouldn’t obtain weapons of mass destruction, and that the intelligence agencies reported Saddam Hussein was about to do that. That was wrong, he admits, but insists there was no way to know that at the time. As Blair puts it, paraphrasing a U.N. weapons inspector, Hussein “thought the U.S. and its allies were bluffing when we threatened force and actually we were sincere; and we thought he genuinely had WMDs when actually he was bluffing.” A great deal of death and destruction followed from that mutual miscalculation. One of the things that emerges from Blair’s account of that period is his genuine affection and regard for Bush, whose calm, focus, lack of pretense and security in his own skin the prime minister found particularly impressive. He praises him, as well, for “integrity” and “political courage.” Dick Cheney, who “was unremittingly hard line,” struck him otherwise. “(I)t’s virtually impossible to have a rational discussion about him,” Blair writes. “To those on the left, he is, of course, an uncomplicated figure of loathing. Even for the middle ground, they tend to reach for the garlic and crucifixes. You have to go pretty far to the right to find Dick’s natural constituency.” After 9/11, according to Blair, the vice president felt that the United States needed to prosecute the war “with terrorists and rogue states that supported them”

in a total fashion. “He would have worked through the whole lot, Iraq, Syria, Iran, dealing with all their surrogates in the course of it — Hezbollah, Hamas, etc. In other words, he thought the world had to be made anew. … Of course, the attitude terrified and repelled people. But it will be obvious from what I have written that I did not think it was as fantastical as conventional wisdom opined.” Blair does seem to feel that the subsequent campaign’s approach to “human rights” and what he calls “prisoner issues” — one presumes he means torture — made for bad PR. British readers may be interested to see just how much Blair’s conduct during that period — his resolve to stand “shoulder to shoulder” with the United States — was influenced by his belief that contemporary Britain’s standing in the world was inextricably linked to its special relationship with Washington, D.C. “All I know was that I did what I thought was right,” he says. “I stood by America when it needed standing by. Together we rid the world of a tyrant.” Throughout this memoir, Blair adeptly uses Britain’s royals as a rhetorical foil, and the anecdotes involving them doubtless will be crowd-pleasers among Americans. Queen Elizabeth is rather “shy,” though on their first meeting she put Blair firmly in his place by noting that he was her “10th prime minister” and that her first had been “Winston, but that was before you were born.” Prince Charles comes across a vague and distracted nebbish, “a curious mixture of the traditional and the radical” who at one point became alarmed over his belief that a deputy prime minister’s posture while drinking tea reflected class antagonism. Princess Diana, by contrast, was “the essence of an era,” a “radical combination of royalty and normality” and the embodiment of all that New Labor wished to convey about itself. There is a detailed discussion of his relationship with Diana — more extensive than many probably realized — and a recitation of the now fairly familiar events surrounding his intervention in the Windsors’ response to Diana’s tragic death.

Bush: don’t underestimate his appeal as a normal guy. You might not agree with him, but if you’re a voter, you would never think you would be uncomfortable or feel inadequate if you met him socially; you would think he would be nice and easy with you. And you’d be right. … Clinton’s great political strength was an endless capacity to be fascinated even by the most unfascinating people because he was always willing to learn from them.” He similarly admires the former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern — “a true friend” — for his ability to do a deal: “He had that elemental quality that defines great politicians: he was a student of history, not its prisoner.” Similarly, during the negotiations leading up to the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, he came to respect the Sinn Fein leaders Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness: “When you saw the Republicans, you saw unity in motion. They had a line; they took it; they held it. It appeared to modify in the course of a meeting, it was illusion — the modifications had been pre-built into the line, and the line was sustained.” Interesting sentiments for a democratic leader, and they do much to explain many of the difficulties Blair had with Labor Party colleagues who became increasingly fractious during his last years in office. They’re also a kind of unconscious lament, for Blair came to 10 Downing Street hoping to be one of the great postwar reforming prime ministers, like Clement Attlee or Margaret Thatcher, whom he rather admires. Instead the New Labor reforms, which he says in this memoir grew entirely out of his “middle class view of public services,” recede unmourned.

Candid politician “A Journey” is first and foremost a political biography, and long stretches of it are likely to be terra incognita to most Americans. Still, Blair — like Clinton — is one of the great politicians of this generation, and that makes his candid moments particularly interesting. It’s hard to imagine any U.S. officeholder, for example, saying this about older voters: “One of the greatest myths of human existence is that as people get older, they get more benign, more long-suffering, more relaxed and more phlegmatic in how the world treats them. Not in my experience. The average Rottweiler on speed can be a lot more amiable than a pensioner wronged, or, to put it more accurately, believing they are wronged.” Similarly, he is contemptuous of the media, government inquiries into failed policies and attempts to open official records to the public. Feelings, authenticity and emotional intelligence are qualities that rank high in Blair’s political lexicon. People, he writes, “know that the prime minister doesn’t really tootle off to the supermarket like they do. They don’t want to know that he actually does live like one of them, but they want to know that he could; and more important, they want to know he feels like them, that they could get on. … It’s about temperament, character and attitude. It’s also about being authentic. … I always used to say to people about George Weekly Arts & Entertainment Inside

‘Tough Customer’ swelters in suspense “T ough Customer” by Sandra Brown (Simon & Schuster, $26.99)

By Joy Tipping The Dallas Morning News

Monika Sosnowski / Penguin Group

Dan Morrison has written “The Black Nile: One Man’s Amazing Journey Through Peace and War on the World’s Longest River.”

Writer explores wilds of politics, war along Nile By Laura Speyer Bloomberg News

Dan Morrison is on a mission. He wants to travel the Nile, the world’s longest river, the way the locals do. Morrison documents his trip north from the river’s source in Lake Victoria, Uganda, through volatile Sudan and into Egypt, where the river empties into the Mediterranean Sea, in his book “The Black Nile: One Man’s Amazing Journey Through Peace and War on the World’s Longest River” (Viking, $26.95). Morrison’s book meanders like the river itself. It vacillates between racy travel tale and political commentary, and feels more like a beach read than the serious political tome the author intends. Morrison embarks with his best friend, a bartender who has never left the United States. The book begins with their preparations in Uganda’s capital, Kampala. Morrison finishes his journey solo on the shore of the Mediterranean, after visiting bustling Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, and Cairo. Long sections of the book are devoted to descriptions of Morrison and his friend’s struggles to find an appropriate vessel. Their journey is stalled from the beginning as they wait for the completion of their boat, a glorified canoe that they paddle (with great difficulty) before switching to various ferries and dilapidated buses for the remainder of the trip. Along the way, Morrison encounters soldiers and policemen of all kinds. His best friend abandons him in dusty Juba, Sudan. Morrison also meets with a seemingly unlimited supply of well-connected contacts who explain the political situations of their respective regions in layman’s terms. Morrison’s prose is witty, and he recalls details like “a red ‘Abibas’ tracksuit” that make the changing African societies he

describes come alive. The bastardized Western brand name provides a reminder of Africa’s struggles with imperialism, struggles that occasionally get lost among Morrison’s charming anecdotes. Although his writing lacks some of the weight his stories deserve, his interviews often speak for themselves. A fisherman tells us that his peers “don’t swim. They drown.” One Sudanese official says, “You never talk about reconstruction in south Sudan. It’s construction.” Another says, “This is the worst place in the world to grow up.” The bleak frankness with which his subjects depict life along the Nile can stand alone, and Morrison’s analysis sometimes distracts. After years of reporting for Newsday and National Geographic News, getting in and out of dangerous locations is clearly Morrison’s forte. He scampers into dam construction sites that are strictly forbidden to journalists, gleefully passing out photocopies of his passport to every policeman he meets, lest they suspect him of illegal border-hopping. Watching Morrison charm one policeman after another is fun, but the information he gleans from his visits to off-limits areas is better. Morrison interviews a variety of sources on the effects of the Merowe and Kajbar dams on the Nubian minority in northern Sudan and southern Egypt. After a few quips (“Dude, I think the something was that your government tried to kill Egypt’s president”), Morrison gets to work. An archaeologist tells him that the ruling Arab tribes of Sudan, who “take care of their own,” are displacing the Nubian villagers by building the dams. Moments like this, in which Morrison combines wit with deep reporting about the region, make “The Black Nile” well worth the tinge of smarm.

Rocker details inner demons in memoir “Rat Girl: A Memoir” by Kristin Hersh (Penguin, 336 pgs., $15)

By Chris Foran Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Rat Girl” has the makings of a rock ’n’ roll, crash-and-burn cliche: Smart chick in a cool band (1980s alt-rock darlings the Throwing Muses) wrestles with personal demons and dramas just as her group is about to break big. But Kristin Hersh’s memoir of the year-plus turning point in her rock ’n’ roll life is not the predictable tale those ingredients suggest. Instead, it’s a smart, observant story not of disaster but deliverance — and without the usual happy-talk epiphanies. By the age of 18, Hersh had settled into an unsettled life. In the spring of 1985, she was playing music, going to school and squatting in apartments furnished with handmade art and creatures that

went bump in the night. Hersh’s band, Throwing Muses, was getting a lot of buzz, despite a sound that Hersh calls “a creepy, goofy mess.” (Hersh’s descriptions of the Muses’ sound are among the best bits in “Rat Girl,” but, for all her protestations, their music is pretty melodic and crisp — though definitely coarser than the overproduced pop that ruled the charts at the time.) But Hersh wasn’t just hearing the music; she also was hearing voices. When the din in her head began to drown out the din on stage, she wound up in treatment and on medication. Unfortunately, the medication wasn’t just stilling the voices, it was stilling her ability to connect to the music. Unlike many rock ’n’ roll crisis stories, there’s no villain in “Rat Girl”: no oppressive parents, no abusive boyfriend, not even an evil record company. The only struggle is Hersh’s against herself.

If it’s summer, it must be time for a new Sandra Brown book. The author has published a new romantic-suspense novel just in time for last-minute beach bronzing every year for the last few, like clockwork. Brown doesn’t disappoint this year, gifting sweltering readers with an equally steamy tale of obsession, love and terror in “Tough Customer.” It’s a big bang for the buck; she offers not one complicated romance but two as well as a touching mother-daughter story and a craftily elusive villain. The author brings back Dodge Hanley, an investigator who played a part in 2009’s excellent “Smash Cut,” and makes him the central character here. Curmudgeonly Dodge is contentedly, if not exactly happily, toiling in Atlanta when he gets a frantic call from Caroline King, a woman

he loved 30 years before and has never really gotten over. Caroline’s daughter, 30year-old Berry (yes, there’s significance in that 30-year coincidence, and I’m not giving anything away that’s not on the book jacket), is being stalked by a deranged former co-worker. Dodge heads to the Houston area to help clean up the mess, both literal and psychic, that has turned Caroline and Berry’s lives upside down. Berry’s lake hideaway has been breached by Oren, the stalker, leaving a friend of Berry’s gravely injured, Berry in shock and her house a bloody shambles. Worst of all, Oren has escaped. Dodge joins forces with Ski Nyland, a young local deputy sheriff, to track Oren down and keep the women safe, although both Caroline and Berry have plenty of wit and smarts about them; Brown’s heroines are anything but wimpy.

The suspense here mostly overrides the romance, at least until nearly the end of the book, but Brown has such a keen way with building apprehension and panic — more murders! Oren sightings! search dogs! — the reader will hardly notice the lack of bedroom antics. For those who find little to love about Houston, Brown gives the area north of the city a dreamy allure: “It was a beautiful country, the kind of forested terrain that most people didn’t associate with Texas, which typically called to mind barren plains, tumbleweeds, and oil derricks silhouetted against an endless sky. There were plenty of oil and gas wells in East Texas, too, but the dense forests concealed them. In this part of the state, the sky looked smaller, closer.” A climactic chase scene takes place in the Big Thicket National Preserve, which Brown invests

with appropriate creepiness for a place that supposedly houses both Sasquatch and “capricious lights with no traceable source.” I won’t be camping there anytime soon. I’m always charmed by Brown’s utter lack of pretense or literary inclinations, and I mean that in the sense of the turgid, almost incomprehensible vocabulary that populates some books aiming for a higher-brow audience. You’ll never have to run to the dictionary while reading Sandra Brown. Describing her villain here, Berry notes, “his ick factor was off the charts.” Ick factor is something we can all understand and relate to. Brown also has fun with Southern stereotypes, both in completely dispelling them and sometimes giving a wink to the fact that stereotypes are usually, at least in part, based on truth. Ski, telling Dodge about Oren’s latest escape, notes, “It’s like he was raptured off that parking lot.” Praise be, Sandra Brown.

Teachers Continued from F1 Although the value-added method is often used to help educators improve their classroom teaching, it has also been a factor in deciding who receives bonuses, how much they are and even who gets fired. Michelle Rhee, the schools chancellor in Washington, fired about 25 teachers this summer after they rated poorly in evaluations based in part on a valueadded analysis of scores. And 6,000 elementary school teachers in Los Angeles have found themselves under scrutiny this summer after the Los Angeles Times published a series of articles about their performance, including a searchable database on its website that rates them from least effective to most effective. The teachers’ union has protested, urging a boycott of the paper. Education Secretary Arne Duncan weighed in to support the newspaper’s work, calling it an exercise in healthy transparency. In a speech last week, though, he qualified that support, noting that he had never released to the media similar information on teachers when he was the Chicago schools superintendent. “There are real issues and competing priorities and values that we must work through together — balancing transparency, privacy, fairness and respect for teachers,” Duncan said. On the Los Angeles Times’ publication of the teacher data, he added, “I don’t advocate that approach for other districts.”

Unreliable data? A report released this month by several education researchers warned that the value-added methodology can be unreliable. “If these teachers were measured in a different year, or a different model were used, the rankings might bounce around quite a bit,” said Edward Haertel, a Stanford professor who was a co-author of the report. “People are going to treat these scores as if they were reflections on the effectiveness of the teachers without any appreciation of how unstable they are.” Other experts disagree. William Sanders, a senior research manager for a North Carolina company, SAS, that

a year, most score highly on a state science test but show little gains, so her bonus is often small compared with those of other teachers, she said. The Houston Chronicle reports teacher bonuses each year in a database, and readers view the size of the bonus as an indicator of teacher effectiveness, Krieger said. “I have students in class ask me why I didn’t earn a higher bonus,” Krieger said. “I say: ‘Because the system decided I wasn’t doing a good enough job. But the system is flawed.’ ” Brendan Smialowski / New York Times News Service

Michelle Rhee, center, the schools chancellor in Washington, D.C., fired about 26 teachers over the summer after they rated poorly in the value-added modeling system. Rhee celebrates with faculty and staff during an awards ceremony at Winston School in 2008. does value-added estimates for districts in North Carolina, Tennessee and other states, said that “if you use rigorous, robust methods and surround them with safeguards, you can reliably distinguish highly effective teachers from average teachers and from ineffective teachers.” Sanders helped develop value-added methods to evaluate teachers in Tennessee in the 1990s. Their use spread after the 2002 No Child Left Behind law required states to test in third to eighth grades every year, giving school districts mountains of test data that are the raw material for value-added analysis. In value-added modeling, researchers use students’ scores on state tests administered at the end of third grade, for instance, to predict how they are likely to score on state tests at the end of fourth grade. A student whose third-grade scores were higher than 60 percent of peers statewide is predicted to score higher than 60 percent of fourth-graders a year later. If, when actually taking the state tests at the end of fourth grade, the student scores higher than 70 percent of fourth-graders, the leap in achievement represents the value the fourthgrade teacher added. Even critics acknowledge that the method can be more accurate for rating schools than the system now required by federal law, which compares test scores of succeeding classes, for instance this year’s fifth-graders

with last year’s fifth-graders. But when the method is used to evaluate individual teachers, many factors can lead to inaccuracies. Different people crunching the numbers can get different results, said Douglas Harris, an education professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. For example, two analysts might rank teachers in a district differently if one analyst took into account certain student characteristics, like which students were eligible for free lunch, and the other did not. Millions of students change classes or schools each year, so teachers can be evaluated on the performance of students they have taught only briefly, after students’ records were linked to them in the fall. In many schools, students receive instruction from multiple teachers, or from after-school tutors, making it difficult to attribute learning gains to a specific instructor. Another problem is known as the ceiling effect. Advanced students can score so highly one year that standardized state tests are not sensitive enough to measure their learning gains a year later. In Houston, a district that uses value-added methods to allocate teacher bonuses, Darilyn Krieger said she had seen the ceiling effect as a physics teacher at Carnegie Vanguard High School. “My kids come in at a very high level of competence,” Krieger said. After she teaches them for

Grading the system This year, the federal Department of Education’s own research arm warned in a study that value-added estimates “are subject to a considerable degree of random error.” And in October, the Board on Testing and Assessments of the National Academies, a panel of 13 researchers led by Haertel, wrote to Duncan warning of “significant concerns” that the Race to the Top grant competition was placing “too much emphasis on measures of growth in student achievement that have not yet been adequately studied for the purposes of evaluating teachers and principals.” “Value-added methodologies should be used only after careful consideration of their appropriateness for the data that are available, and if used, should be subjected to rigorous evaluation,” the panel wrote. “At present, the best use of VAM techniques is in closely studied pilot projects.” Despite those warnings, the Department of Education made states with laws prohibiting linkages between student data and teachers ineligible to compete in Race to the Top, and it designed its scoring system to reward states that use valueadded calculations in teacher evaluations. “I’m uncomfortable with how fast a number of states are moving to develop teacher-evaluation systems that will make important decisions about teachers based on value-added results,” said Robert Linn, a testing expert who is an emeritus professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder. “They haven’t taken caution into account as much as they need to,” Linn said.

Wit leavens moving tale of scorned wife “Fly Away Home” by Jennifer Weiner (Atria, 416 pgs., $26.99)

By Hannah Sampson McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Most of us stare at the television when a philandering politician gives an apologetic press conference, wife at his side, and wonder: What is that woman “thinking”? For Sylvie Woodruff, a fictional addition to the all-tooreal pantheon of disgraced wives, that would be: Single again — time for pelvic muscle exercises. “Probably it was locking the barn door after the horse had gotten out, or, more specifically, after the horse had had two kids, but it couldn’t hurt.” Jennifer Weiner plies that irreverent wit in her heartfelt seventh novel while reaching past the sordid details (senior senator from New York, young legislative aide, trip to the Bahamas) to show the long-term effect on a family. Sylvie met her husband, Richard Woodruff, in law school and quickly gave up her own legal ambitions to be wife, mother and manager of her husband’s life. “She’d given herself to Richard as completely as any nun had ever pledged herself to God.” Thirty-two years, two kids, many diets, a tummy tuck and some Botox later, she has crafted herself into the perfect model of a politician’s wife. But then news breaks of her husband’s affair and his questionable use of power to get the other woman a cushy job. Despite her fury, despite the shame and the occasional public meltdown, Sylvie doesn’t know if she should leave her marriage. She decamps to her childhood vaca-

tion home in Connecticut, learns to cook and starts seeing an old acquaintance who is the opposite of her husband. Meanwhile, her two daughters — Diana, an unhappily married ER doctor who is having her own affair with an intern and Lizzie, an addict recovering after her latest stint in rehab — are facing their own crises. Chapters alternate between the three women, each flawed and strong in her own way. Sylvie’s mother Selma, retired as New York’s chief judge, is a standout as a bit player, wisecracking and brash like the best of Weiner’s heroines. The problem is there’s not enough of Selma’s spunk or emotional heft to make anyone care deeply about the family. Some plot lines feel cliched, and most of the men are stereotypes. “There’s no right way to live a life,” Sylvie tells one of her daughters. “You just do the best you can.” Not carrying on with an aide would be “one” right way to live a life, but the message is otherwise sound: Learn from your mistakes, do better. That applies to fictional politicians, their families — and novelists. Even if “Fly Away Home” isn’t her best, Weiner remains one of the funniest and most clever writers in the chick lit universe, especially when she lets her inner Selma run wild.
