Filings: Little effort to hire locals Stimulus contractors do just the minimum before hiring foreigners

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Two fatal vehicle crashes were reported Saturday in Central Oregon.

The first involved a man who was struck and killed by a car while attempting to cross the Bend Parkway with his daughter near Reed Lane. The second was a three-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 97 north of Terrebonne.

In the first, Robert H. Hunt, 55, of Bend, was crossing the Parkway from east to west with his daughter, Chelsea I. Hunt, 14, when he was hit by a northbound car driven by Rita My Loang Le, 26, of Bend, at about 12:25 p.m.. Chelsea Hunt was also struck and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Motorists who had stopped at the crash site attempted to revive Robert Hunt, said Lt. Ken Stenkamp of the Bend Police Department, but he was dead by the time medics from the Bend Fire Department arrived. Medics connected Hunt to an EKG machine to check for a heartbeat, he said, but did not attempt to revive him.

“They hooked him up, and we were done,” Stenkamp said.

Witnesses said the Hunts had bicycles with them and were crossing in the crosswalk on the south side of Reed Lane, and that other northbound traffic had paused to let them pass. Stenkamp said it’s currently believed the Hunts were riding their bikes, but the incident is still under investigation.

T

wo years ago, Democrat Judy Stiegler picked the right time to make a second bid to represent Bend in the state House of Representatives, edging out Republican incumbent Chuck Burley during a year when a Democratic tide swept the country.

This year, that tide may be going out, as voters are in a different mood, according to political analysts and pollsters.

Stiegler, 57, faces two challengers, Republican Jason Conger and unaffiliated candidate Mike Kozak. But as ballots go out, she is neither panicking nor changing her style.

“I figure if there’s that much interest in this campaign, then I must be doing something right,” she said. “I feel very good about our campaign.”

Stiegler, a lawyer who has been active in politics and state government, says she has long been a fighter.

She is a breast cancer survivor, and her father died of lung cancer when she was just 4.

A surprising snapshot of voter discontent

ike Kozak remembers listening to his father complain about government.

“Yeah, they’re doing it to us,” his father would say.

“Who are ‘they’?” Kozak, then a small boy, recalls asking.

As he learned more about politics, becoming “part of ‘they’” became more appealing. He became active in student government in high school and college.

“I wanted to make decisions that would affect peoples’ lives and their quality of life,” he said.

Today, running to unseat Democrat Judy Stiegler, Kozak can point to more credentials than just student government.

He served on the Bend City Council in the 1980s and also ran for the Legislature in 1988, losing in the Republican primary.

Kozak, 63, is now running against the political establishment, as an unaffiliated candidate. He hopes his socially moderate, fiscally conservative platform will help him beat not only Stiegler but also her Republican opponent, Jason Conger.

t would be hard to call Jason Conger, the Republican seeking to represent Bend in the state House of Representatives, a late bloomer.

He left home at age 16, married at age 21, and that same year made his first run for political office — for City Council in Crescent City, Calif. — before he even finished his four-year college degree.

Today, at 42, he is a partner with a prestigious Portland-based law firm, founded a company that invests in apartment complexes, and sits on the boards of several other corporations, as well as that of Trinity Lutheran Church.

Conger now hopes the same drive that made him a self-made success will carry him to victory in his attempt to unseat Democrat Judy Stiegler while fending off another conservative-leaning candidate, Mike Kozak, who is running unaffiliated.

“It’s in the hands of the voters, but I believe people are ready to see a change in this state,” Conger said. “And I think I will win.”

WASHINGTON — Forestry contractors with federal stimulus contracts have argued they need foreign workers because they can’t find local residents willing to take jobs in the woods. But documents the contractors filed with the U.S. Labor Department show those firms often advertised jobs for only a few days and in tiny newspapers far from Oregon.

Three forestry contractors based in Oregon and a Washington company with Oregon contracts almost always advertised for the minimum time required by federal regulations: two days in a newspaper, and 10 days with a state employment department, according to application materials obtained by The Bulletin in a public records request.

Forest contractors, Oregon lawmakers and local forestry companies that have lost out to those firms said the documents are just the latest piece of evidence that federal regulations allow companies to make little effort to find U.S. workers before importing foreign labor. The Bulletin found earlier this year that Oregon companies using foreign workers were awarded nearly $13 million in federal stimulus contracts.

• Both parties pin control of Congress on a ripple effect from other races, Page A2

If there is an overarching theme of Election 2010, it is the question of how big government should be and how far it should reach into our lives.

Americans have a more negative view of government today than they did a decade ago or even a few years ago. Most say it focuses on the wrong things and lack confidence that it can solve big domestic problems; this general anti-Washington sentiment is helping to fuel a potential Republican takeover of Congress next month.

But ask people what they expect the government to do for themselves and their families, and a much more complicated picture emerges.

See Government / A6

What do Americans really want?

The results from a new Washington Post-KaiserHarvard poll attempt to answer this question — and they show how lumping people into big-versus-small-government types distracts from a more complicated, and interesting, reality.

• The negative: When asked to describe the federal government in a single word, three-quarters of Americans use a negative word.

• The positive: While “Good” is the second most chosen word (after “Disappointed”) only a handful of the most used words are positive or neutral.

TOPEKA, Kan. — As the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments last week over a small church that pickets the funerals of dead soldiers, comparisons quickly emerged to an earlier test of the bounds of the First Amendment: a 1977 decision that American neo-Nazis had a right to march through a Chicago suburb where many Holocaust survivors lived.

But imagine, for a moment, that the group in question did not simply wish to pass through town with their hateful message. Imagine that they moved in, signs, speech and all.

So goes the fate of Topeka, a city where free speech again is a high court item and is less an idea than a lived experience — and a nearuniversally horrible one at that.

Both parties pin control of Congress on statewide races

By Liz Sidoti The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Call it a ripple-down effect that could determine House control.

The outcomes of marquee races always influence down-ballot contests on Election Day, and this year, whether Democrats keep power or Republicans seize it could well hinge on which party prevails in several hotly contested races for governor and Senate.

With just over three weeks before Nov. 2, Republicans hope strong-running statewide campaigns in places like Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin and Ohio will help them triumph in on-the-bubble congressional races — and help them win the House. Democrats, meanwhile, look to top-of-the-ticket wins in places like Colorado, Maryland and California to save them from total disaster.

Both parties acknowledge that victories at the gubernatorial and Senate level could pull their candidates over the line in some of the 75 or so competitive House races on a playing field that, while still favoring the GOP, is growing even more volatile as Election Day nears.

Coattails also could influence statehouse races nationwide. And the party that controls the legislature controls the redrawing of congressional districts for the next decade. Democrats are in charge of 60 of 98 state House and Senate chambers; the GOP is confident of gains. Legislatures are controlled by a narrow majority in several states, including Nevada, Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania — all states that have high-profile statewide races.

AT LAST, A WAY OUT FOR CHILE’S 33 TRAPPED MINERS

Top-down effect From coast to coast, Republicans have the upper hand in races and are likely to gain seats up and down the ballot given a troubling climate for Democrats. The GOP is looking to its strength among gubernatorial nominees, in particular, to help it pick up the 40 seats it needs to win power in the House. It’s more likely than the Senate to change hands; the GOP would need to gain 10 seats there.

“In a midterm election where turnout could be a key factor in deciding which party holds a majority in Congress, enthusiasm for GOP candidates at the top of the ticket will benefit Republicans in battleground districts,” said Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas, the chairman of the House Republicans’ campaign committee.

But David Plouffe, a Democratic National Committee senior adviser, predicted that Democrats will do better than expected in key races. Said Plouffe: “If we continue to show progress gradually … we’re going to win some of these close elections. We’re going to surprise people.”

Republican and Democratic strategists say House control is up for grabs, with races growing more competitive as voters pay closer attention and Democrats rally behind their candidates. Both parties are shifting strategies daily; Republicans are broadening their footprint to more Democratic-held districts, while Democrats are narrowing their focus in hopes of hanging onto a slim majority.

In a midterm election, gubernatorial and Senate races boost turnout, and many people still vote a straight ticket for a party, not a person.

Republicans point to Oregon and New Mexico as states where polls show GOP gubernatorial candidates performing better than once thought.

Elsewhere, Democratic House candidates are appearing to benefit from their party’s strength at the top of the ticket in a handful of states, including California, where Democrat Jerry Brown is locked in a battle with Republican Meg Whitman for governor, and where Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer has recently seen her re-election prospects strengthen. Two House Democrats would stand to benefit from Democratic triumphs.

Candidates try out new target: China With many Americans seized by anxiety about the country’s economic decline, candidates from both political parties have suddenly found a new villain to run against: China.

From the marquee battle between Sen. Barbara Boxer and Carly Fiorina in California to the House contests in rural New York, Democrats and Republicans are blaming one another for allowing the export of American jobs to an emerging economic rival.

In the past week alone, at least 29 candidates have unleashed new ads suggesting their opponents have been too sympathetic to China.

The ads are striking not only in their volume but also in their pointed language and unsubtle use of imagery. One ad for an Ohio congressman, Zack Space, accuses his Republican opponent, Bob Gibbs, of supporting freetrade policies that sent Ohioans’ jobs to China. As a giant dragon appears on the screen, the narrator sarcastically thanks the Republican: “As they say in China, xie xie Mr. Gibbs!”

And on Wednesday, Sen. Harry Reid, the majority leader, began showing an ad that wove pictures of Chinese factory workers with criticism that Republican Sharron Angle was “a foreign worker’s best friend” for supporting corporate tax breaks that led to outsourcing to China and India.

The ads are so vivid and pervasive that some worry they will increase hostility toward the Chinese and complicate the already fraught relationship between the two countries.

Polls show that not only are Americans increasingly worried that the U.S. will have a lesser role in the years ahead, they are more and more convinced that China will dominate.

Pakistan reopens border to NATO

WORLD ECONOMY

Currency war looms as finance leaders fail to resolve dispute The Associated Press

The Associated Press ISLAMABAD — Pakistan said Saturday it will reopen a key border crossing and allow convoys to resume delivering supplies to NATO troops in Afghanistan, ending a 10-day blockade during which trucks were stranded on their way to the border and almost 150 were destroyed by attackers.

Pakistan closed the northwest crossing at Torkham on Sept. 30 in an apparent protest over a NATO helicopter incursion that killed two of its soldiers on the border.

Since the closure there have been almost daily attacks on the scores of trucks stranded on their way to Torkham from the port city of Karachi, and on those bottlenecked on the roads to a smaller crossing at Chaman in the southwest that has remained open.

Pakistan is a key supply route for fuel, military vehicles, spare parts, clothing and other non-lethal supplies for foreign troops in landlocked Afghanistan.

Though the U.S. has said the closure has not affected its ability to keep troops supplied, the blockade raised tensions with Pakistan. The U.S. has dramatically increased the number of CIA drone strikes in Pakistan’s tribal belt.

Captors kill aid worker during failed rescue raid New York Times News Service A Scottish aid worker taken hostage two weeks ago by the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan was killed early Saturday during a rescue raid, according to the British Foreign Office.

Linda Norgrove, 36, was regional director of a jobs program financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development. She was seized Sept.

26 along with five others.

NATO forces undertook Saturday’s predawn raid after the U.S. and British militaries learned where Norgrove was being held. “Given the danger she was facing, her best chance of safe release was to act on that information,” said William Hague, Britain’s foreign secretary. As U.S. forces closed in, her captors set off an explosion that killed her. Western officials in Kabul said several of her captors also died.

Colleagues said Norgrove loved Afghanistan from the first time she arrived in 2005 on a U.N. mission. She also had spent years in Peru and Laos.

Pro-democracy protesters hold a picture of Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo with the words “Respect the spirit of Nobel Peace Prize. Release Liu Xiaobo and all dissidents,” outside China’s Liaison Office in Hong Kong on Friday. The Chinese government has reacted with unrestrained ire over the awarding of the Nobel Prize to China’s most prominent dissident — it has called in the Norwegian ambassador in Beijing for a dressing down, placed scores of dissidents under house arrest and angrily described the decision to honor Liu as “blasphemy” and an insult to the Chinese people.

China doesn’t waver in response to Nobel

By Charles Hutzler The Associated Press

BEIJING — Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to an imprisoned Chinese dissident has brought praise from Western governments and condemnation from Beijing, and the act is exposing the difficulties fitting a powerful, authoritarian China into the international order.

A day after Liu Xiaobo was named the winner, a touchy Chinese government built upon its initial angry response Saturday.

Authorities escorted Liu’s wife from Beijing to the northeastern city where he is imprisoned but did not let her see him to deliver news of the honor; that will have to wait until today, a family member said. Activist lawyers in Beijing inspired by the award to hold a get-together said police followed them and told them to stay home, preventing them from meeting.

While the government sank into official silence, as did much of the state media, a tabloid newspaper affiliated with the ruling Communist Party’s flagship People’s Daily caustically criticized the prize as part of a Western plot to sow divisiveness in a rising China. “Good Chinese have reason to suspect that the Nobel Peace Prize has been reduced to a political tool of Western interests,” said the popular Global Times. “What they’re doing now is using the Peace Prize to tear a hole in Chinese society.”

What it means for human rights The message that Westerners are out to get China has frequently been used by the leadership to inspire nationalism, and is likely to be promoted anew in coming days to prevent ordinary Chinese from granting Liu and the dissident community any prestige the award might confer.

But the government’s uncompromising line seems far from what the Nobel committee honored the 54-year-old Liu for — more than two decades of advocacy of human rights and peaceful democratic change — and

“The symbolism of awarding Liu Xiaobo the award will be lost on many people. ... The average person has so much more freedom than they ever had in the post-’49 period.

There’s a strong feeling of ‘Don’t rock the boat too far, don’t prod into sensitive areas.’”

— Anne-Marie Brady, a Chinese politics expert in New Zealand

Changing how the world perceives China The Chinese government’s recent high-profile forays to change international perceptions have largely fizzled, reinforcing Chinese feelings of being misunderstood. The grandiose and nearly flawless Beijing Olympics in 2008 left many foreigners feeling overawed at state control. Now, Liu Xiaobo’s medal adds to the sense of pressure, feeding worries that it may carry his previously little-heard message of gradual peaceful change to Chinese wired to the Internet and mobile phones. It also aggravates the government’s view that China is misunderstood in the world and underappreciated for all the progress it has made in raising living standards — a sentiment shared by many Chinese. from how it hoped Beijing would respond. Members of the Norway-based committee said the award should encourage China to become a more responsible global force and avoid the arrogance of power. President Barack Obama and other world leaders echoed the theme, calling for greater respect for human rights. But U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon suggested that China’s anger at the Nobel might impede rights work elsewhere.

That gap between Beijing’s authoritarian ways and the way some in the West hope it will behave yawns uncomfortably as the world tries to make room for a China with a rapidly growing resource-hungry economy, a large military and hundreds of millions of citizens joining the consumer classes.

An embattled China Over the past week, Chinese negotiators rallied developing nations and scolded the U.S. on another big global issue, climate change; partly as a result, negotiations for a new agreement to stem global warming made little progress.

Schools agonize over anti-gay bullying

By David Crary The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A spate of teen suicides linked to anti-gay harassment is prompting school officials nationwide to rethink their efforts against bullying — and in the process, risk entanglement in a bitter ideological debate.

The conflict: Gay-rights supporters insist that any effective anti-bullying program must include specific components addressing harassment of gay youth.

But many religious conservatives condemn that approach as an unnecessary and manipulative tactic to sway young people’s views of homosexuality.

It’s an emotional topic. Consider the hate mail, from the left and right, directed at Minnesota’s Anoka-Hennepin School District, the state’s largest, while it reviews its anti-bullying strategies in the aftermath of a gay student’s suicide. The invective is “some of the worst I’ve ever seen,” Superintendent Dennis Carlson said.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, October 10, 2010 A3

“We may invite the Department of Justice to come in and help us mediate this discussion.”

Carlson’s district in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis is politically diverse, and there are strong, divided views on how to combat bullying.

“We believe the bullying policy should put the emphasis on the wrong actions of the bullies and not the characteristics of the victims,” said Chuck Darrell of the conservative Minnesota Family Council.

That’s a wrongheaded, dangerous approach, according to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network — which tries to improve the school climate for gay students nationwide. “Policies have to name the problem in order to have an impact,” said GLSEN’s executive director, Eliza Byard.

According to a 2009 GLSEN survey of 7,261 students, only 18 percent said their schools had a comprehensive program addressing anti-gay bullying, while gay

students in schools that had such programs were less likely to be victimized and more likely to report problems to staff.

Across the political spectrum, every group weighing in on the issue had deplored the recent deaths, the latest in a long series of suicides over many years by harassed gay teens, but dramatic nonetheless because of the high toll in a short span — at least five since July.

Nationally, the recent suicides have intensified calls on Congress to pass a pending bill, the Safe Schools Improvement Act. It would require schools receiving federal funds to implement bullying prevention programs that specifically address anti-gay harassment. It is vehemently opposed by many conservatives.

Carlson says he’s exasperated by the highly politicized debate that has flared since 15-year-old Justin Aaberg’s suicide. “Hurtful statements on either side are not helpful … and the kids are watching.”

cies are under fire from Europe and the U.S., where Congress is threatening punitive legislation that some worry could set off a trade war. Territorial disputes recently flared anew with Japan and Southeast Asian neighbors.

Meanwhile, at home, the government is trying to keep rising property and living costs, wide income disparities and a debate among the elite over political reform from upending a transition to younger leaders two years from now.

Ever since party leaders sent the military to crush the Tiananmen Square democracy movement and set back relations with the people, the government has tried to promote nationalism as a unifier. It is likely to turn up the volume in coming days, banking that the Nobel will backfire.

“The symbolism of awarding Liu Xiaobo the award will be lost on many people. They will see it as having a go at China,” said Anne-Marie Brady, a Chinese politics expert at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

“The average person has so much more freedom than they ever had in the post-’49 period. There’s a strong feeling of ‘Don’t rock the boat too far, don’t prod into sensitive areas.’”

WASHINGTON — Global finance leaders failed Saturday to resolve deep differences that threaten the outbreak of a full-blown currency war.

Various nations are seeking to devalue their currencies as a way to boost exports and jobs during hard economic times.

The concern is that such efforts could trigger a repeat of the trade wars that contributed to the Great Depression of the 1930s as country after country raises projectionist barriers to imported goods.

The International Monetary Fund wrapped up two days of talks with a communique that pledged to “deepen” its work in the area of currency movements, including conducting studies on the issue.

World Bank President Robert Zoellick said the rising economic tensions reflected a weak global recovery.

“A lack of growth accompanied by high unemployment is having consequences,” Zoellick told reporters at a news conference concluding the IMFWorld Bank meetings. “There is a danger that countries will turn inward and, as a result, international cooperation falters.

This could be dangerous.”

The communique essentially papered-over sharp differences on currency policies between China and the U.S. The Obama administration, facing elections in which high unemployment is a top issue, has been ratcheting up pressure on China to move more quickly to allow its currency to rise in value against the dollar.

Also, the U.S. House recently passed tough legislation to impose economic sanctions on countries found to be manipulating their currencies.

American manufacturers contend the Chinese yuan is undervalued by as much as 40

“There is a danger that countries will turn inward and, as a result, international cooperation falters. This could be dangerous.”

— Robert Zoellick, president of the World Bank, echoing worries of the same attitudes that contributed to the Great Depression percent and this has cost millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs by making Chinese goods cheaper in the United States and U.S. products more expensive in China.

Chinese officials insist their gradual approach to revaluing their currency was best, and that faster movements risked destabilizing the Chinese economy.

Various other nations, including Japan, Brazil and South Korea, also have taken steps to keep their currencies weaker in an effort to increase their exports. And in the U.S., expectations of further monetary easing by the Federal Reserve have driven the dollar down significantly against the euro and other major currencies.

IMF Managing Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn said he did not view the outcome of the IMF discussions as a failure. He said they set the stage for further progress at the upcoming G-20 summit in November in Seoul and at future IMF meetings. The Group of 20 includes traditional economic powers such as the United States and Europe along with fast-growing economies such as China, Brazil and India.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Labor Department unveiled a new set of draft regulations that would steeply increase the pay for temporary foreign workers.

The proposal was the first in a set of new H-2B rules expected to be released this year, in response to persistent criticism of federal oversight of the program and poor working conditions for foreign employees.

The Labor Department said changing how minimum wages are calculated will increase pay by an average of $4.38 per hour.

And by requiring companies to pay foreign workers more, local labor could become more attractive.

Arthur Read, general counsel for the group Friends of Farmworkers, said the new rules would push pay for immigrants closer to U.S. market rates.

“The short answer is it depends on the job classification, but the increase will be substantial,” Read said.

A forestry worker in Crook County, for example, would be paid $16.43, up from $12.92 currently.

Cutting Edge initially had an application for 75 foreign workers denied this year, after it failed to advertise in a Sunday newspaper.

Instead, it ran ads in the Ellensburg Daily Record, ready by about 5,200 people, which doesn’t have a Sunday edition. That ad drew 32 applications and six hires.

When the company reapplied, this time for 100 workers, it advertised in the Yakima Herald-Republic, with a daily circulation of about 38,000. Cutting Edge reported 60 applications and 11 hires. It was ultimately approved to import 87 foreign workers this year.

Immigrants rights groups like the Alliance of Forest Workers and Harvesters, and the Southern Poverty Law Center argue that lax federal oversight has let companies take advantage of temporary foreign workers. Those groups say companies routinely pay workers less than they’re owed and force immigrants to work without breaks, proper safety equipment or other basic protections.

Of the 5,871 employers that were certified to hire H-2B workers in 2009, the Office of Foreign Labor Certification audited 25 applications, according to the Labor Department, or about 0.4 percent.

As of the start of September, the office had begun 76 audits in 2010.

The federal stimulus bill requires contractors to pay higher wages — ranging from about $12 to $22 per hour for most forest work, what’s known as a “prevailing wage” under the Service Contract and Davis-Bacon acts.

For jobs that spanned multiple states, the firms never advertised

in more than one state or in more than one community newspaper.

That process is far different from how Grayback Forestry in Merlin does business, said owner Mike Wheelock. Wheelock hasn’t had to advertise for jobs this year, because of high demand for jobs in the current stagnant economy.

But when he did, he ran ads “for a couple of weeks and usually had no trouble getting adequate workers.”

Don Pollard, the owner of GFP Enterprises, a Sisters forestry company, said the federal regulations may have been written with good intentions, but it seems clear that they don’t do enough to ensure companies search for local workers.

“I think the system I guess is allowing for things that in the end, they don’t make any common sense,” Pollard said. “If you put some ads in Central Oregon, which we do annually, then you’re going to end up with a lot of interested folks.”

Arthur Read, general counsel for the immigrant-advocacy group Friends of Farmworkers, has sued the Labor Department over H-2B regulations. Read said employers should be required to advertise nationally before looking internationally for workers, especially when jobs take place in multiple locations.

“We’ve tried to say to them that the current recruitment system is irrational,” Read said.

On top of the nearly 15 percent unemployment rate in Deschutes County, there have been few new jobs in the forestry industry created this year, according to the Oregon Employment Department.

Over the past six months, fewer than 50 forestry and manufacturing jobs have been listed with the Employment Department, said work force analyst Jan Swander.

they said, offered the Phelpses exactly the type of platform they had hoped for.

“My grandparents before they died said don’t pay attention to them because it’s what they want,” said Stacy Swann, 31, who asked that her job not be listed because, like many people interviewed, she feared that she would become the subject of protests. “But it’s impossible not to pay attention when they’re always in your face.”

Outside the Westboro church itself, a collection of flags hang upside down. A banner on the building declares “God Hates America,” while the sign for the church has been defaced with graffiti saying “God hates the Phelps.”

Phelps is 80 now. His movements have stiffened and his words slowed. But he proudly showed off a stack of newspapers the day after the Supreme Court arguments, saying his name was in every one. He heaped praise on the First Amendment, which he quotes in its entirety, and said he believed that the justices would rule in his favor.

He is more ambivalent about the city where he has lived for a halfcentury. “Topeka,” he said, “has a lot to answer for with the Lord.”

Forestry and manufacturing jobs that pay more than $10 an hour are in high demand in Central Oregon, Swander said.

“There’s a lot of the work force with those skills and experience that are idle right now,” Swander said. “For forestry jobs and manufacturing jobs in that pay range, job seekers are certainly taking those referrals and are eager for those positions.”

Swander said it takes longer for companies paying $10 or less per hour to fill positions and that frequent travel can also make jobs less attractive.

The Bulletin tried to contact about two dozen people who were listed as job applicants with the forestry contractors. Only one, Charles Carlson, who lives outside of Salt Lake City, could be reached. He said he turned down a job with GE Forestry for the 2009 season because he didn’t have forestry experience and thought the pay was too low.

“It just didn’t sound like it was that good of a deal because they

were making (employees) pay for their own room and board,” Carlson said. “If they paid a little better (companies could) make it more worth it.”

In an interview on Friday, U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, said he spoke with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis about the issue and believes the Labor Department plans to investigate the H-2B certification process.

“She was very concerned,” DeFazio said.

He said the application process appears to be deeply flawed, especially when companies can choose not to advertise in Oregon.

“This just deepens my suspicion about the current system,” DeFazio said. “I expect the investigation is going to lead to (the) conclusion that the system needs to be reformed and dramatically tightened, especially when you’re talking about jobs (created) with tax dollars.”

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., asked the U.S. Forest Service and Labor Department to explain how stim-

ulus contracts could create jobs for foreign workers. In a letter of response, the Forest Service said it had little control over whom contractors hire. The Labor Department hasn’t responded, according to Wyden’s office.

“I am baffled by the administration’s response to our efforts to ensure that stimulus dollars intended to create jobs for Oregonians are being used to hire actual Oregonians,” Wyden said in a statement.

“So far I have gotten nothing but excuses from the agencies, but I didn’t let the Bush administration escape accountability, and I do not intend to allow this administration to escape accountability.”

Draft rules increase pay for foreign workers

Continued from A1 None of the four companies — GE Forestry, Ramos Reforestation, Summitt Forests and Cutting Edge Forestry — advertised the jobs in Oregon newspapers or with the state Employment Department, even though they were based here or, like Ramos, had contracts to work in the state. Officials at the companies did not return messages from The Bulletin last week.

Application materials the contractors filed with the U.S. Labor Department showed that the firms often advertised for scores of job openings in newspapers with only a few thousand readers.

One company, GE Forestry, never reported hiring a single local worker over the past four years, even as it was given approval to bring in hundreds of foreign employees over that time.

In July, GE office manager Victor Gomez said few locals want the jobs after he explains the work required. The ones who do usually quit once they realize the amount of effort GE demands, Gomez said. “(Local workers) do it, but they can’t do it at the same pace; they can’t put out the same work as the other employees,” Gomez said.

“They’re pushed to keep up with the other employees, and that’s when they don’t want to do it.”

American companies are allowed to recruit seasonal foreign workers for certain industries, such as seafood sorting and forest work, under the H-2B visa program. According to the Labor Department’s website, a company can recruit workers if it proves there aren’t unemployed U.S. citizens available to do the jobs and that bringing in workers won’t damage wages or working conditions for U.S. workers. The program is separate from temporary visas awarded to farmworkers.

Under the H-2B program, employers self-certify that they advertised the jobs and tried to hire local workers.

When Summitt Forests wanted to find 75 workers to work in California, Washington and Oregon (including Deschutes, Harney and Malheur counties) last year, the company ran a classified ad in the Burney, Calif., Intermountain News, read by about 3,200 people, for two days in October 2008. It also listed the openings with the California Workforce Development Department for 10 days.

The results: 19 applications and six hires.

Not surprisingly, companies that advertised in larger newspapers near job sites had better luck

these battles on a daily basis.”

The children of Phelps work white-collar jobs: 11 of the 13 are lawyers, including the three daughters who appeared before the Supreme Court on Wednesday. His 56 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren attend public school.

“Most of us have good rela-

tions with our co-workers and our classmates, just not close relations,” said Mara Phelps, 39, who grew up in Florida and married into the family.

Residents here say they have grown weary of the ubiquitous protests, which are blamed for chasing away prospective businesses, touring entertainers and potential visitors. Now, they say, they can do little more than ignore the group.

“Topekans feel defensive that others in America blame them for the longevity of this group,” said Rebecca Barrett-Fox, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Kansas who has spent years studying the church. “… The rest of the nation looks at Topeka and wonders why Westboro Baptist Church wasn’t smothered in its cradle.”

Some residents shook their heads with disappointment that the Supreme Court took the current case, a lawsuit filed by Albert Synder after the funeral of his son, a Marine, was protested with signs like “God hates you, you are going to hell.” (Synder was initially awarded a $11 million jury verdict, but it was overturned on appeal and he was ordered to pay the Phelpses’ legal fees.)

Stiegler Continued from A1 Born in Colorado, she spent 14 years in the Reno area before moving to Grants Pass at age 16 with her mother, a nurse, and her stepfather. She was one of four children, and she says her family was often poor.

Stiegler attended the University of Oregon in Eugene, majoring in political science, where she met her future husband, Mike Dugan, who later would spend more than 20 years as Deschutes County’s district attorney.

Was Stiegler a hippie?

“I was, actually,” she said with a laugh, then quickly added, “No, I wasn’t.”

It was the early ’70s and Stiegler was entering adulthood at a time of political and social upheaval. She recalls attending an anti-war protest at age 18 at which some rowdy protesters were met with tear gas from the National Guard. “I just got the heck out of Dodge,” she said, adding that it was her only protest. “I just said, ‘OK, enough.’”

Stiegler joined Dugan at Lewis & Clark College Northwestern School of Law and earned a law degree in 1978.

She eventually specialized in juvenile law. She and Dugan had two children and took in Stiegler’s niece as their own.

The couple began attending First Presbyterian Church, where Stiegler joined the choir.

She found herself attracted to public service as well. She spent three years on the Bend-La Pine School Board and then nine years on the state Board of Education, appointed by then-Gov. Barbara Roberts in 1994.

It was a controversial period for the board, as it crafted a Certificate of Initial Mastery and a Certificate of Advanced Mastery, a new testing regime for 10th- and 12th-graders that was required by a 1991 reform law. For years, the certificates were criticized as too time-consuming and too easy to fail, leading eventually to their elimination in 2007.

Stiegler defended CIM and CAM at the time. Even today, she defends them as good ideas that weren’t well implemented. She says they put the state in a good position to adapt to the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law.

CIM and CAM are gone, she said, but their legacy remains.

“I think the name is less important than the purpose behind them, which is that we make sure there is a basic quality of education in this state,” she said.

Stiegler continued to seek elected office. She ran for Deschutes County circuit court judge in 1994 and 2002, losing both times.

She became director of the local nonprofit CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, which represents abused children.

She ran against Burley in 2004, losing by only about 550 votes, while highlighting his work as a timber lobbyist.

She stepped down from CASA in 2007, two years after she was appointed to the Oregon Government Ethics Commission.

While chairing the commission, she presided over the highly publicized 2007 case of a prominent lobbyist, Paul Romain, and seven lawmakers who were fined for not reporting $18,000 worth of trips and golf in Maui paid for by wine and beer distributors. During the case, Stiegler joined other members on the commission to call for stiffer fines than staff had proposed for three of the lawmakers, boosting them from $450 to nearly $1,000.

In 2008 she ran for the Legislature again, making Burley’s poor attendance record a centerpiece of her campaign. The timber consultant had missed 21 percent of his votes, often to tend to his business. She beat him by more than 2,000 votes.

More than most politicians, Stiegler is fond of expressions like “hokey” and “full of baloney.” And her campaigns have made a point of her folksy style. One of her current TV ads calls her a “plain-spoken grandma.”

Her friends call her an open book. But Stiegler at times employs a different style in the high-stakes political arena of the state Capitol.

For instance, when it came to last year’s legislation to ban destination resorts from the environmentally sensitive Metolius River Basin, Stiegler continued to publicly describe herself as undecided long after lobbyists on both sides had marked her down as a solid “yes” vote.

Stiegler says she was not being deceptive — rather, she was keeping her options open in case a lastminute compromise developed that she could support.

“I think I had really strong feelings from the beginning, but I was willing to listen,” she said. “I think it’s injudicious of a legislator to just draw a line in the sand and say, ‘Here’s my position, that’s it,’ without at least having an opportunity for folks to have … discus-

sions with you.”

She said that when she hasn’t yet figured out a political situation, she treats it like a legal settlement negotiation, where you do research before taking a position.

“You have to figure out how many arrows you have in your quiver before you pull out your bow,” she said.

And she said it’s often more effective to work behind the scenes, as when Rep. Ben Cannon, D-Portland, proposed a beer tax that local brewers considered exorbitant.

Stiegler remained publicly undecided even as, she says, she expressed concerns about the bill internally within the Democratic caucus. She didn’t tell local brewers of her concerns, nor go public with her role in opposing the tax until earlier this year, when she started using it in her re-election campaign.

A second example came in early April 2009, when she was approached by The Bulletin about rumors that the Oregon State University-Cascades Campus was being considered by some lawmakers for closure. Stiegler confirmed the rumors and acknowledged that for some time she’d been engaged in private discussions with Democratic leaders to dissuade them.

Those discussions were so tightly held that publication of the news caught then-interim dean of the campus, Becky Johnson, unaware. “That was truly a surprise to me, that the Legislature was considering closing the campus,” Johnson recalled recently.

She added that she did not feel betrayed, as she knows that Stiegler was fighting for the campus.

Stiegler says she had already been in communication with other, higher-level university officials. She added that going public with a battle too early sometimes can backfire.

“I think my concern was I wanted to make sure I had my ducks in a row,” she said. “Once you make something public you have less control over how things play out.”

Instead, Stiegler used her good relationship with the top budget writer in the House, Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, to raise early concerns about Cascades. And in the end, joined by other lawmakers and then-Treasurer Ben Westlund, she led the charge that took the campus off the cuts list in June of that year.

During the course of her two years in office, Stiegler has made both friends and enemies.

On the Judiciary Committee, where she was named vice-chair, she became known as a reliable vote for district attorneys, more so than some Republicans. But aside from her views on criminal justice, Stiegler has voted with other Democratic lawmakers on the vast majority of her House votes.

She’s for abortion rights and personally supports the legalization of gay marriage. And she enjoys strong ties with the environmental community; her campaign manager is Jonathan Manton, the Central Oregon LandWatch lobbyist who helped pass the Metolius resort ban last year.

Her voting record, including the support of several tax increases, is now being attacked by Republicans who felt she was not business-friendly enough.

Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, is supporting her Republican opponent and says Stiegler’s tax votes came despite the fact that the district was probably the hardest hit by the recession. In Stiegler’s district, Measure 66, the income tax on higher earners, lost by more than 6 percent, and Measure 67, the corporate tax hike, lost by more than 7 percent.

“I’m afraid her votes on the issues were more in line with (her party leadership) than what the people wanted,” Whisnant said.

But Chuck Bennett, a lobbyist with the Oregon School Board Association, suspects schools would have closed a month early if lawmakers hadn’t approved the tax increases. In general, he says, Stiegler did about as well as a relatively powerless first-termer can do, and participated in discussions about boosting student achievement.

“She is one of the most knowledgeable freshmen on educationrelated issues; she is very supportive and interested,” he said.

Stiegler even made enemies when she feels she should have made friends, like when she worked to find compromise on a bill pushed by gun advocates that would have removed concealed weapons permits from the list of public records.

Stiegler says the bill as written would have gone nowhere, but she managed to find a middle ground, and it passed with overwhelming and bipartisan support in the House. However, the bill didn’t pass the Senate, and gun advocates like Kevin Starrett of the Oregon Firearms Federation and Rod Harder of the National Rifle Association blame her.

“My take on her was that she was anti-Second Amendment regardless of how she spun it,” Harder said.

Stiegler, however, said she is not opposed to guns — her husband is a hunter. She said her work to help with the concealed weapons bill shows in the 54-4 House vote, though it went nowhere in the Senate. “You don’t get a vote like that across both spectrums if you don’t work hard,” she said.

Today, Stiegler finds satisfaction in her two new grandchildren, even as she wages her latest campaign without her best volunteer: her mother, who passed away earlier this year.

The November election has most observers saying the Democrats in the House will lose anywhere between one and five seats, which puts Stiegler in an unenviable spot.

“Judy’s in probably the most vulnerable district,” said Romain, who is supporting Conger in the race.

Conger has outraised Stiegler by a margin of more than 2 to 1.

As of Friday, Stiegler had raised about $122,533 since January, in contrast to Conger’s $263,355.

Stiegler says she remains confident. But if she loses the election, she’ll miss the job — particularly, she says, just “going to work every day trying to solve problems.”

“So I’m taking a hesitant attitude,” Breyer said, while calling for independent research to assess television coverage in state courts around the nation.

Showing people how the court works is the aim of Breyer’s book tracing the country’s acceptance of the court as the final word in legal disputes, he said over tea in his Supreme Court office.

He said the court has struggled in some of its most important decisions with finding a balance between national security and civil liberties.

“The public has to generally accept the existence of an institution that to do its job must sometimes make decisions that are very unpopular,” Breyer said.

Conger Continued from A1 Conger says he decided to run because he disapproved of the 2009 Legislature, notably its tax increases. He approached some local Republican officials even as they were casting about for a candidate to run against Stiegler, who had unseated moderate Republican Chuck Burley in 2008.

“I just sort of stuck my hand up and said ‘I’m willing to do this,’” Conger said. He says his faith is part of why he’s running, citing “the call to serve and the obligation to serve. … I feel like we all in some capacity should do what we can to make our state and our community better, and this felt like something I could do.”

More than his opponents, Conger has made his personal history a staple of his political campaign, which talks about his youth living under “crushing poverty.” In one of his radio ads, the female narrator says, “Once homeless and living out of the back of his dad’s pickup, Conger worked his way through college and Harvard Law School.”

The full story takes longer to tell.

Conger’s parents were part of the hippie movement in the ’60s and ’70s, he said. His father, a contractor, declared bankruptcy and divorced his mother when Conger was 8. His father remarried and moved around a lot: Conger lived in Oregon, Colorado and Washington before, at age 12, the family settled in Crescent City.

When he was a teenager, Conger left home because he didn’t get along with his father. He lived in a trailer park for a time and took night classes to finish high school while working day jobs at Burger King and Circle K. He moved to Sacramento and worked in the construction industry, building homes and doing carpentry.

Conger then returned to Crescent City to work and go back to school. It was there that he married his high school sweetheart, Amy, and became interested in politics. Four city councilors were recalled for malfeasance, and Conger ran for one of the seats.

One of 11 candidates, Conger took fifth place with 246 votes; with just 21 more he would have been elected, according to the Del Norte County elections office.

According to Conger, he has been homeless three times in his life. The first time was when he was 3 or 4 and his parents were living in the Santa Cruz Mountains in a utility truck his father purchased at an auction. They lived in a camper shell in the truck, Conger said.

Conger’s father, Dennis, portrays it differently from his son’s campaign. Now a school administrator in California, he says it wasn’t a pickup; rather, the family used a modified camper shell on a converted 2-ton dump truck, and they lived on a friend’s land for free in exchange for working on the property. The living arrangement wasn’t for lack of money, Conger’s father said — in fact, they’d just sold a house in the area and had a “decent” amount of money in the bank even as Dennis worked intermittently as a well-paid carpenter.

“I wouldn’t characterize it as ‘homelessness,’ but I suppose from some viewpoints it might be considered that,” Dennis Conger said. “We spent a summer essentially camping out in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

“It was one of those nice interludes in your life,” he added. “It was sort of a period of decision-making: What do we want to do next?”

Later, the family stayed with Conger’s grandmother while his father looked for work.

The former head of a social services agency, Dennis Conger said he isn’t sure the family actually sank below the poverty line, though it definitely faced very hard times. And he doesn’t view them as ever having been homeless, in terms of living on the street.

Still, Dennis Conger said his son’s success is a tribute to his abilities. “We were not able to help Jason,” he said. “He has accomplished some remarkable things. … I am proud of him.”

Jason Conger says the bottom line was that they didn’t have a lot of money, adding that when his father says living in the mountains wasn’t homelessness, he may be speaking from a place of pride.

“I don’t know how else you can characterize it when you don’t have a house and you spend a significant amount of time living on the back of a truck in a camper shell,” he said.

The final period of homelessness occurred when Conger was 18 and working at a deli in Sacramento. He and his manager didn’t get along and “parted company,” Conger said, meaning he could no longer live in a house owned by the deli owner. Because his boss stiffed him on his last paycheck, Conger said, he had only a Datsun pickup and $25 in his pocket.

“A friend of a friend basically just took me in and let me sleep in their kids’ bunk bed for a couple of weeks

while I looked for a job,” he said.

Conger says he talks about his past not to exploit it but because he wants people to know his views are based on life experience.

“I felt that it was important for people to know that just because I went to Harvard Law School doesn’t mean I started there,” he said. “Being poor during most of my childhood years, I just feel very motivated to work hard and not have my family in that situation.”

After Conger lost his City Council bid, Frank Riggs, a local congressional candidate, invited him to work on his campaign. Riggs won and Conger spent a year in Washington, D.C., which he says opened his eyes to a “completely different world.”

He went back to California to finish his four-year degree at California State University in Humboldt. He went to work for Riggs in his district office there.

He also served as director of the North Coast Small Business Development Center and sat on the California Small Business Development Advisory Council.

Conger then was accepted to Harvard Law School, where he spent three of his six semesters as a teaching fellow, teaching subclasses of students for $2,000 to $3,000 a semester. The rest of his tuition was funded with financial aid and student loans, he said.

From there, he got a job with Cooley Godward Kronish LLP, working as a corporate lawyer in San Diego. There, he says he was part of at least 20 mergers and acquisitions, and worked on more than 50 venture capital and private equity deals.

He was an associate, a level below partner, and was often not the lead attorney on the deals. But sometimes he was, such as when he oversaw the public stock offering of Dot Hill, a Colorado-based high-tech firm. “I worked on a lot of deals; some of them were very complex, and I was able to learn a lot, observe a lot from working with those businesses,” he said.

Six years ago, he and his wife decided they wanted to move to a small town and settled on Bend.

“We felt pretty strongly that we wanted to get back to the Northwest and back to a smaller town with more opportunity for the kids to enjoy the outdoors and just not be immersed in the Southern California culture,” he said.

He went to work for the law firm Miller Nash while also co-founding Cornerstone Realty Holdings, a real estate investment firm.

Don Tavolacci, the principal owner of Cornerstone, calls Conger “one of those rare individuals who is very, very smart, yet humble and has got a fair amount of wisdom.”

Conger said he expects to have much the same ideological profile as his ex-boss, former Congressman Riggs, a socially conservative, born-again Christian. Conger opposes abortion and gay marriage. He supports civil unions, though he said he doesn’t have enough information to form an opinion on whether they should bestow all the same legal rights as

C OV ER S T OR I ES marriage.

He thinks Oregon should explore programs that give vouchers to parents who send their kids to private school and personally thinks that failing to teach “credible theories” like “intelligent design,” a theory based on biblical creationism, alongside Darwin’s theory of evolution in public schools amounts to “censorship.”

“I think that when you see the kind of censorship that we talked about a second ago, you have to question whether there’s agendadriven issues that are causing the quality of education to be skewed,” he said. But because school subject matter is left to the state Board of Education, “one of the policy decisions I wouldn’t be making is teaching intelligent design,” he said.

He said he and his wife homeschooled their five children.

They began doing it because the family was moving between the East Coast and California. Later, though, the family decided it was preferable, primarily because it gave them more control over the quality of the kids’ education. The fact that the family can teach alternative theories like intelligent design, along with evolution, is just one reason they have homeschooled. But it wasn’t the primary motivating factor, Conger said.

“Over time we found there were other values to home schooling, including the flexibility to change curriculum,” he added. “That was not a motivating factor for homeschooling them, but it’s a benefit.”

He said he has no interest in imposing his beliefs on others.

“We have a unique origin in this country that is based in religious freedom, and I am an absolute believer in that principle, among other things in the Constitution that I think are unique and wonderful and really make this country something special,” he said.

“So the last thing I would do is try to diverge from that or somehow undermine that principle.”

He added, “I want to focus on what’s important, which is running the state better.”

Between raising five children, being a lawyer and running for office, Conger hasn’t had a lot of time lately for his hobbies: snowboarding and riding his 2007 Ducati motorcycle, which has been gathering dust in his garage.

“I haven’t touched it yet this year because I’ve been campaigning so much,” Conger said.

Government Continued from A1 A new study by The Washington Post, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Harvard University shows that most Americans who say they want more limited government also call Social Security and Medicare “very important.” They want Washington to be involved in schools and to help reduce poverty. Nearly half want the government to maintain a role in regulating health care.

The study suggests that come January, politicians in both parties will confront a challenging and sometimes contradictory reality about what Americans really think about their government. Although Republicans, and many Democrats, have tried to demonize Washington, they must contend with the fact that most major government programs remain enormously popular, including some that politicians have singled out for stiff criticism.

More polarized The new survey also shows that although Democrats and Republicans have rarely seen eye to eye, the gap between the two has widened significantly over a decade of partisan polarization.

Fully 80 percent of Republicans say the government’s priorities are misplaced, and just 6 percent express a lot of faith in government when it comes to fixing economic problems or dealing with Social Security.

More broadly, a nationwide report card on the government shows barely passing grades: Washington was a C student in a poll 10 years ago. Today, more than four in 10 people give the government a D or F. Overall, 55 percent of Americans say the government is not paying attention to the biggest issues. Similar percentages say the government does not use tax money wisely, is out of sync with their values and has not helped their families.

Half say the government has a big effect on their daily lives — up significantly from 10 years ago — but most of those say the impact is a negative one. “I think the less the government governs us, the better

we do,” Norma Osuna, 48, said in a follow-up interview to the survey. A stay-at-home mother, she sees the country as going in a “socialistic” direction.

Nearly half of the 2,054 adults polled say the federal government threatens their personal liberties.

There is a creeping sense — now shared by one in five Americans — that it is not possible for the federal government to be run well, given all the problems in the country.

Only part of the story Yet these strong sentiments, often heard in campaigns this year, tell only half the story. Even as Americans generally hold Washington in low regard, they still like much of the work it does. Support for government action on such issues as national defense, health care and fighting poverty remains high, in some cases just where it was a decade ago.

Nearly six in 10 say they want their congressional representatives to fight for additional government spending in their districts to spur job creation; fewer (39 percent) want their member of Congress to cut spending, even if that means not as many local jobs.

This is a turnabout from September 1994, when 53 percent said they wanted their representative to battle against spending and 42 percent were on the other side.

Despite evident public dissatisfaction with the growth of the federal deficit, 50 percent of those polled say they would prefer more government spending to try to boost the economy.

Forty-six percent say avoiding an increase in the deficit should take precedence.

Americans continue to see ma-

BEND

jor areas of government spending as essential. Whether it is Medicare, Social Security, national defense, food stamps, education, unemployment benefits or environmental protection, about nine in 10 call these programs at least somewhat important. And even at a time of reduced confidence overall and conservative criticism of social welfare spending, nearly two-thirds of Americans say the government should be doing more to fight poverty.

Americans are divided almost evenly on whether Washington should provide more services, even if it means higher taxes, or should reduce services and collect less in taxes. The split on this question is similar to what it was in 2003, and is a striking contrast to public views in 1994, when most voters preferred a smaller government and Republicans rode the discontent to take control of Congress.

Whatever dissatisfaction Americans might have about the way Washington works, however, nearly eight in 10 say that whatever its faults, the American system is the best in the world — though a radical proposition has broad appeal: Fifty-six percent of those polled say things would be better if there were a national referendum system enabling all citizens to vote on major national issues. At least on this point, there is rare general agreement among Democrats, Republicans and independents.

Twins in orbit? It’s a first

By Marcia Dunn The Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The stars may have finally aligned for the world’s only space sibling team.

Astronaut Scott Kelly is circling the planet, fresh into a 5½month space station mission.

His identical twin, Mark, will join him next year, if NASA’s shuttle schedule holds up.

Together, they will become the first blood relatives to meet up in space.

“It’s something we hoped would happen,” Mark said.

“It wasn’t done by design. But we’re fortunate. I think it will be fun for us.”

Scott is the International Space Station’s next commander. He took off aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket early Friday — texting and joking with his brother right until launch — and arrived at the orbiting complex Saturday night.

Mark is space shuttle Endeavour’s next commander. He’s due to take off at the end of February and knock on the space station door March 1. It’s currently slated to be NASA’s last shuttle flight.

For now, anyway, there’s a little physical difference between the 46-year-old brothers: Scott is clean-shaven and Mark has a mustache.

The Kellys promise no gags or matching outfits in space.

They insist they’ve never done any of that. So how will they mark the historic occasion?

“We’re going to arm-wrestle,” replied Mark.

“I was going to say the same exact thing,” said Scott.

While there have been fatherand-son astronauts and cosmonauts, decades have separated their space missions.

A husband and wife flew together in space in 1992 — Mark Lee and Jan Davis — but NASA permitted it only because they were not married at the time they were picked for the shuttle mission and had no children.

They divorced several years later.

“Flying in space is a privilege and I try not to forget that,” Scott told the AP before departing the planet. Flying with his brother will be “icing on the cake.”

“It will be certainly unique, won’t it?” added Mark.

Oregon State Police as of 9 p.m.

Lt. Greg Hastings said OSP would be unable to release the name of the victim or other persons involved until a later time.

Investigators survey the scene of a fatal accident on the Bend Parkway at Reed Lane on Saturday.

Wi

order to function effectively on behalf of my district,” she said.

For a newcomer, “it depends on what values and what principles the person is bringing with them.

I mean, you have to be someone who values people and relationships and you have to be a person who has the ability to listen.”

Rep. Bob Jenson, R-Pendleton, ran for office as a Democrat in 1996 before growing disenchanted with his party.

In 1998, he dropped his party affiliation and became an independent and won re-election. He spent the 1999 legislative session unaffiliated with any party before changing to Republican the following year.

Jenson says there were pluses and minuses to being an unaffiliated lawmaker. He didn’t participate in any of the frequent caucus meetings held by each party to debate their votes.

“The nice part about being an independent, you don’t have to go to any of the caucus meetings and listen to all of the rhetoric. Believe me, that saves a lot of time,” Jenson said.

“The only problem is that you’re not involved in any way in setting the agenda,” he added.

“The majority party of course sets the agenda, but even the minority party can have a significant influence.”

Unless the Legislature is fairly evenly split in votes, Jenson added, “you’re going to be pretty much ignored,” and advocating for jobs and bills for the district is going to be “pretty tough.”

Kozak said he hopes the Legislature is pretty evenly split so “my vote, Bend’s vote, would be desired by both parties,” lending him clout to advance an agenda.

Kozak has raised only about $17,000, a small fraction of what his two opponents have.

But he still remains optimistic, saying, “The odds are in the hands of voters right now. I am walking and I am knocking on doors, and I am getting a good reception. … I think I have a chance.”

While aggressively against taxes and government spending, Kozak is somewhat moderate about social issues compared with some elements of the Republican Party.

He supports the legality of abortions and civil unions, though he does not support gay marriage.

But as he tries to explain his positions, he is learning that not everyone shares the interest in government that he developed at an early age.

Recently, knocking on a door to introduce himself, Kozak was met by a man who wouldn’t even let him talk.

“He said, ‘No, no, no,” Kozak recalled. “I said, ‘You sure?’”

“He just said, ‘Nope, nope, nope.”

As Kozak walked away, he saw through a window that the man had relaxed back on his couch, beer in hand. “He was watching cartoons at 6 o’clock at night. I thought that was hilarious.”

NE

Continued from A1 “It’s very important for me to stand up and be counted for what I believe,” he said. “I believe that the issues that face the state are really severe, and I don’t know if the two-party system can handle them.”

He says he grew motivated to run while watching Stiegler talk about her votes to support corporate and personal income taxes to balance a budget that faced a $4 billion hole.

The change cost Kozak an estimated $600 but didn’t provide him with any more government services, he said, calling it “outrageous.”

Kozak speaks with a New York accent he picked up growing up in Manhattan and Long Island.

His father was a lithographer, working on old-fashioned printing presses in the magazine industry, and his mother was a homemaker.

Kozak won a scholarship to a private high school in Manhattan, and from there decided to attend Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, an engineering school in upstate New York.

He then went for a graduate degree in architecture at the University of Oregon in Eugene.

It was there that his political awakening began in earnest — he even burned his military draft card at a campus organizing meeting where people discussed their opposition to the Vietnam War. “I was against the war, but if they had drafted me I would have gone,” he said. “I have always believed in public service; I just was not in favor of the war.”

After graduating, he became a bartender in Eugene. Then one day he visited Bend and skied Mount Bachelor, and he fell in love. He moved to Bend and found work as an architect before deciding to enter real estate.

He bought a pool hall and turned it into the Palace Tavern, which became a popular Bend nightspot that hosted bands like the Robert Cray band. He met his future wife, Alison, there.

He ran for City Council in 1976 as a tavern owner new to town but lost. In 1983, he ran again and won.

Former planning commissioner Norm Schultz recalls Kozak as being good at listening to all sides before making a decision.

Kozak was officially a Democrat but made a habit of switching parties to vote in particular party primaries.

In 1988, he ran for the state House as a Republican, but he was beaten by fellow Republican Bev Clarno, who went on to become House speaker.

When Kozak was entering his ninth year on the City Council, having spent nine months as mayor, he decided to step down to spend more time with his two young daughters.

He’d also grown tired of being a tavern owner and went back into the real estate business.

He now heads The Kozak Company, a commercial real estate firm based in downtown Bend that specializes in multifamily apartments, motels and other investment properties. In 1996 he headed the Oregon Association of Realtors, traveling around the state to promote the theme that “good ethics is good business.”

In 2003 the group named him Realtor of the Year, citing his service to the community and in promoting ethics in the profession.

Bill Robie, a lobbyist with the Central Oregon Association of Realtors, said, “Mike’s very well liked and has been a very wellrespected member of our association for a long time.”

In 2006, Kozak and other downtown business owners filed a lawsuit to block a new 11 centper-square-foot tax on downtown commercial property owners, claiming they weren’t properly notified. Last year, an appeals court ruling found in favor of the suit, though the city and the Downtown Bend Business Association, which supported the tax, had already replaced it with a tax amounting to 15 cents per square foot.

Now divorced, Kozak is ready for another bid at public life. But he’s finding that his new direction is running into resistance.

In the past few months, several of his old friends and acquaintances have urged Kozak to drop out, fearing that his anti-tax, smallgovernment platform would draw votes from Conger.

Brian Meece, another real estate agent, was one of them. He told Kozak that the important thing was to get Stiegler out of her seat. If Kozak ran for any other election, such as at the county level, Meece would support him, Kozak recalls him saying.

Meece declined to discuss the conversation in detail.

“The problem is I love Michael dearly, and I think he’s doing the wrong thing,” Meece said.

Kozak says he’d prefer to talk about his own chances than about whether he could be a spoiler who ensures Stiegler stays in office.

“I would feel great if I won, and if I lost I wouldn’t feel so good,” he said. “And if I’m the spoiler, then I’m moving on.”

Despite his many friends in the real estate business, Kozak faces no chance of getting their association to support him in his campaign. That’s because he did not enter the race until June, after the group had already decided to back Conger, the Republican.

If Kozak is elected, how effective would an unaffiliated lawmaker be?

Avel Gordly, a former Portland state senator, was elected as a Democrat before spending 2007 and 2008 unaffiliated in protest of partisanship that she says keeps the state in a “mode of mediocrity.”

She said going unaffiliated would have been harder as a rookie, but she benefited from her experience and relationships she’d already developed.

“I found that I was able to still get the information I needed in

Nervous? He’s a lumberjack!

BendFilm names top flicks, goes on today

Complaints involving two subcontractors resolved with pay from employer, bond, state

Bulletin staff report

By Hillary Borrud

The stories of three very different individuals: Lena, the conservative, religious wife of a secretly gay pastor; Romeo, a young black man hiding his sexuality from his loving family; and Jonny, a conflicted white artist in search of himself. All three head for the beautiful island of Eleuthera, each with a different reason for escaping his or her current circumstances. Soon, their disparate worlds collide in unexpected and affecting ways.

The winners of the 7th annual BendFilm film festival were announced Saturday night.

Here are some of the winners. Descriptions of the films are from the BendFilm guide.

• BEST FEATURE: ‘CHILDREN OF GOD,’ BY KAREEM J. MORTIMER, $2,500 PRIZE

The Bulletin

Subcontractors who worked on Deschutes County’s new 911 dispatch center underpaid workers by $37,622, Oregon’s labor bureau found. As a result of those findings, the workers were recently paid, either by their employer or through bonds and a state fund.

Cascade Concrete Solutions failed to pay nine of its employees for approximately two months before shutting down in January, according to Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries and wage claims filed by the employees.

Meanwhile, Knight Mechanical shorted seven employees on pay by improperly deducting fringe benefits and misclassifying employees in lower pay grades, according to the bureau and a complaint filed by the Oregon & Southwest Washington Fair Contracting Foundation.

Employees of both companies have now received the wages they were owed for work on the county project, according to the Bureau of Labor and Industries.

Knight Mechanical paid the employees $9,854 in August, while the bureau used Cascade Concrete Solutions’ public works bond to pay employees $27,768, said Lois Banahene, compliance supervisor with the Wage and Hour Division of the bureau.

Gary Knight, owner of Knight Mechanical in Bend, said in his case, the underpayment resulted from recent changes in job classifications and rules on deductions that his bookkeeper did not realize had occurred. Knight Mechanical did plumbing and heating work on the project.

“We’ve been doing this for 30 years, but we had to update our descriptions of what job classifications and stuff was,” Knight said.

Brad Porterfield, executive director of the Latino Community Association in Bend, said several employees of Cascade Concrete Solutions came to the association to get help claiming their unpaid wages.

The association hears of approximately 10 local cases each year in which employers don’t pay wages owed to their workers, but this one “bothered me more than normal, because it’s more than two months, and it’s also a public project,” Porterfield said.

Contractors and subcontractors have to put up bonds to cover unpaid wages up to $30,000 when they are hired for public construction projects that are subject to prevailing wage laws, Banahene said. In addition, Deschutes County required its contractor, ESI, to put up bonds worth the full amount of the project, to cover any unpaid wages and so the county could use the bond to finish the project if the contractor failed to do so, said County Property & Facilities Department Director Susan Ross.

• BEST CONSERVATION FILM: ‘DIVE!’ BY JEREMY SEIFERT, $500 PRIZE “Dive!” follows Jeremy Seifert and his friends as they Dumpster dive in the back alleys and gated garbage receptacles of L.A.’s supermarkets. In the process, they salvage thousands of dollars’ worth of good food and uncover a disturbing truth about waste in America. The goal quickly becomes finding out why so much edible food is thrown away instead of being given to those who need it. The result is equal parts entertainment, guerrilla journalism and a call to action.

• BEST OF THE NORTHWEST: ‘TRUE ADOLESCENTS,’ BY CRAIG JOHNSON, $500 PRIZE “True Adolescents” follows Sam, a washed-up rocker.

Jobless and apartment-less, he crashes with his aunt as a last resort and becomes a reluctant camping-trip chaperone to her teenage son and a pal. That the three males are on par, maturity-wise, makes for engaging ensemble juvenilia. But in the stirring Pacific Northwest wilderness, a surprising discovery turns dire — and the distance from boy to man must be covered overnight.

• BEST SHORT: ‘BYE BYE NOW!’ BY AIDEEN O’SULLIVAN AND ROSS WHITAKER, $500 PRIZE An amusing and poignant documentary about the fate of the Irish phone box, which has gone from the center of society to the verge of extinction. “Bye Bye Now!” is a bittersweet tribute to the phone box, a historical document and a barometer of how much we’ve changed.

• AUDIENCE AWARD: ‘CALVIN MARSHALL,’

BY GARY LUNDGREN Calvin Marshall is a young man pursuing his childhood dream of playing professional baseball, struggling to make his junior college team. Fanatical coach Doug Little can’t help but admire Calvin’s dedication and gives the talent-challenged ballplayer a shot. When the school’s volleyball star comes into both of their lives, each must face their own failures and shortcomings.

Tax credits available to buyers of efficient wood, pellet stoves

Xander Waibel pushes out his legs while descending from a 40-foot pole in the speed climb competition Saturday at the Timberworks Lumberjack Show at the Sisters Harvest Faire.

lutching a souvenir disc of fresh-cut pine at the close of the Timberworks Lumberjack Show in Sisters on Saturday, Elijah Stubbs said he was ready to get home and climb the nearest pole.

Elijah, 7, of Redmond, had just seen performer Xander Waibel use a length of rope and spurred boots to race to the top of a 40-foot wooden post, then come racing back down in a controlled fall. And Elijah was impressed.

“When he was climbing, it’s like he was Spiderman,” he said.

Waibel and his fellow lumberjack performer Mike Palladino put on three shows Saturday, part of the 35th annual Sisters Harvest Faire. The traveling show features Waibel and Palladino going head-to-head in a variety of tests of lumberjack skill, including speed climbing, log rolling, axe throwing and the springboard race, where lumberjacks perch atop a bouncing plank plugged into a foot-thick log and chop off the top with an axe.

Those looking to combat chilly temperatures with the purchase of a wood or pellet stove this season may be able to save money thanks to several tax credits.

“The wood or pellet stoves can be more expensive than other types of stoves,” said Katrina Van Dis, Natural Resource Program coordinator with the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council.

“But it’s one of those things where you pay more up front and save more in the long run.”

With the purchase of a new energy-efficient wood or pellet stove, residents can get tax credits of up to $1,800.

“Consumers should take advantage of the credit now while they can,” said Roger Sanders, owner of Fireside in Bend. According to Sanders, most wood or pellet stoves offered at Fireside meet the energyefficiency qualifications, and range anywhere from $800 to $4,000. Sanders also pointed out that the wood and pellet stoves can be more convenient and less costly for a lot of customers, as the price of firewood and pellets is generally cheaper than propane.

“Wood is a lot cheaper than other options for the average consumer,” said COIC Program Coordinator Phil Chang. “There can be a lot of long-term savings on fuel costs.”

To be tax-credit eligible, the stove must meet state and federal criteria, and must meet installation requirements. Customers will also need to get a certificate from the retailer or manufacturer, and apply for the tax credits separately.

More charges filed in crash that killed Salem high schoolers

Crews rush to finish restoring N R now dam-free Oregon area The Associated Press

The Associated Press SALEM — A 29-year-old woman accused of killing two high school students and critically injuring a third while driving under the influence of drugs faces an additional charge of reckless endangerment.

The Statesman Journal reported that Sophia Downing, 29, appeared in court on Friday for her arraignment, crying nearly throughout the entire proceeding. She was not asked to respond to the charges and did not issue a plea.

Her stepfather, William Hancock, said Downing is bipolar and switched medication the day before the crash.

Downing is charged with manslaughter, second-degree assault and driving under the influence after the Sept. 23 crash. Police say she was under the influence of prescription drugs when the 1994 Chevy Blazer she was driving jumped a curb near Chemeketa Community College and struck three people near a crosswalk.

The crash killed two students: Brittney Green, 18, and Francisco Cervantes, 16. A third victim, 18-year-old Jorge Echeverria, was in critical but stable condition at Salem Hospital.

MEDFORD — Construction crews are racing against a mid-October deadline to finish restoration and rebuilding work along a stretch of Bear Creek that was exposed by the removal of a major area dam this summer.

The removal of the Gold Ray Dam has exposed old moss-covered boats, a sunken dock and a swarm of mosquitoes that have plagued area residents since demolition began.

The Mail Tribune reports that construction crews and a design firm are trying to finish work before Oregon’s rainy season begins in earnest. “We’re trying to get out of the water as fast as possible,� said Scott Wright, whose River Design Group is overseeing the project. “It’s a messy business, at this point. You have to go through these efforts to restore a channel.�

If the water isn’t slowed during high-flow periods, the creek could cut unwanted paths to nearby gravel pits.

Wright’s firm is placing rocks, organic

nets and logs to give the creek a natural look while slowing the water flow.

State and federal permits mandate that work in the water must be finished by dusk on Oct. 15.

The century-old concrete dam once produced power for gold mines in the region. Gold Ray is the third dam in the past two years to be removed from the Rogue River to help salmon and steelhead runs. Its removal opened 157 miles of free-flowing river below Lost Creek Dam near Trail.

Construction was supposed to be completed by Oct. 1, but summer lawsuits delayed the dam’s demolition and put the work behind schedule.

Lower Bear Creek originally fanned out into a delta where it met the Rogue River. Berms built on some of that land constrained the water flows, opening the area to open-pit gravel mining operations that continue today.

The completion of Gold Ray Dam raised the Rogue River’s surface elevation higher than the bottom end

of the Bear Creek, creating a backwater area where silt from the river and creek have deposited for more than a century.

That backwater served as a giant mosquito hatchery that local officials thought they were removing when they pulled down the dam. Instead, in August, a massive hatching of mosquitoes took the area by surprise. It was attributed to a mass disturbance of water when muddy sloughs were drained from behind the old dam.

The dam was removed and the creek elevation dropped about five feet, leaving the creek to carve through decades of silt.

Now, the construction crews are working to excavate that silt. “It’s all, basically, kitty litter,� Wright said. “Real fine sands and silts.�

The banks will be built up in layers and fortified with stumps, logs and rocks to withstand the creek’s water flows during storms and keep the lower creek within its banks.

O Tough-on-crime measure Girl, 12, still haunted presents dilemma to GOP by burglary attempt projected shortfall of $3.2 billion for the next two years, so Measure 73 has proven divisive within Mannix’s own party.

Chris Dudley, the GOP gubernatorial candidate, said in his budget plan that he opposes the Mannix measure because it would cost too much.

But Greg Leo, spokesman for the Oregon GOP, said the group is “generally favorable” to the measure, despite its potential for increased costs.

“We do Search and escue because our hearts are with people needing some extra hands,” Sandy Foster said.

Eldon Foster caught wind that Woodhead, whom he’s crewed with at His Sky Balloons for close to 30 years, was going ballooning, and Foster was itching to join him.

“I knew he was going this morning,” Foster said, “and I wanted to go in the worst way.”

Because of the support received throughout Foster’s healing, Sandy Foster wants to thank the community and Search and Rescue for being there.

“We know we have a long road ahead, like many people who have experienced an accident or tragedy, but it’s the people around us that have built the fabric to keep us going and give us strength,” she said. “Thank you for walking this journey with us.”

derwent multiple surgeries on his left leg to rebuild a shattered femur. He has also had eye surgery to repair damage that occurred as a result of the fall.

But he can still rattle off all of the balloon events he’s been involved with and still loves to share his excitement for ballooning.

When asked if he was going to return to the crew of Woodhead’s WWJD balloon when his injuries heal, his face lit up and he said, “Oh, absolutely.” Many people in the community know Foster from his 28 years working for the city’s fire department or as founder of the Key Man, a Grants Pass business he ran for 32 years before selling it.

Prior to the accident, Foster had joined Josephine County Search and Rescue.

In January, he passed the grueling Search and Rescue physical, which included carrying 40 pounds for at least three miles, and became an active member of

Avila-Rodas looked at Mackenzie, her mom and her stepdad as he spoke. His face turned red.

Then he apologized.

“The trauma the girl is going through fills me with sadness,” he said, through an interpreter. “And the truth is I really regret that and it’s not going to happen again.”

GRANTS PASS — Sandy Foster was excited about her husband coming home from the hospital, and got a special surprise when she found out his arrival was the same day as her birthday.

“I managed to get a large bouquet of flowers to present to her when they started bringing me into the house,” said Eldon Foster, who spent about 21⁄2 months in the hospital after he was serously injured in an accident involving a hot air balloon.

On June 18, the 70-year-old Foster was badly injured after a routine flight when two people stepped out of the balloon’s gondola. The balloon lifted back into the air after the weight left the basket. The crewmen, who hold the basket in place while passengers exit, let go. Foster didn’t.

Foster, the crew chief, held on for as long as he could while pilot Bill Woodhead tried to bring the balloon back down to safety.

Foster let go and fell from higher than 20 feet. He landed on pavement and was later airlifted to the hospital.

Foster was released from the Rogue Valley Medical Center on Aug. 31 and is adjusting to life at home.

Sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a Wild Rogue Balloon Fest T-shirt, Foster described his injuries. Along with the several hairline fractures in his face and feet that have since healed, he un-

PORTLAND — No one expected 12-year-old Mackenzie Hughes to show up in a courtroom to face the three men who burglarized her Troutdale house this spring as she hid under a blanket and whispered information to a 9-1-1 dispatcher.

But Mackenzie, her mother and stepdad wanted the burglars — who were about to be sentenced Friday — to know how they’d changed her life.

“You picked the wrong house,” said Mackenzie’s mom, Tracey Ferguson, her voice unwavering. “Mackenzie Hughes is smart, and she is brave.”

Mackenzie was praised across the nation for her courage, which was documented in a hair-raising 8-minute, 15-second 9-1-1 call. The then-sixthgrader appeared on CBS’s “The Early Show” and NBC’s “Today” show. The call enabled police to nab the burglars, who fled when they heard sirens.

Ferguson said her daughter, who asked her to speak on her behalf, is doing her best to deal with the psychological aftermath. But the May 24 afternoon break-in still haunts her.

She doesn’t like to be alone, not even for five minutes. She usually sleeps on the floor of her parents’ bedroom.

“She has nightmares,” Ferguson said. “She yells in the middle of the night. She gets up to lock the bedroom door.”

The Morey Middle School seventh-grader worries that the burglars might come back to seek revenge. And so in the next few weeks, the family is moving.

“Every little noise she hears, she thinks it’s you guys,” said Mackenzie’s stepdad, Gary Ferguson. “To live with the fear you’ve bestowed on her is a huge weight for a 12-year-old to bear.”

All three men offered differing degrees of apologies in their separate hearings in Multnomah County Circuit Court, and they were given time behind bars. All of them previously had pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary, and two of the men to the theft of a laptop Mackenzie had paid for

with her own money. One dropped it in the family’s yard as police closed in, causing $600 damage.

Alexis Colindres-Munoz — who entered Mackenzie’s room as she lay under a blanket on her bed with 9-1-1 on the line — was sentenced to six months in jail, three years of probation and 120 hours of community service. He could be released soon because he’s served about 41⁄2 months in jail and might qualify for time off for good behavior.

Prosecutor Chris Mascal had evidence to show that only Colindres-Munoz was in the house because of his muddy shoeprints.

The other two acted as lookouts or drove the getaway car, Mascal said.

“I really didn’t know she was in the house,” said Colindres-Munoz, 22. “I really didn’t mean to hurt her psychologically. I have little sisters, too, and I wouldn’t have wanted to hurt them.”

Oregon sentencing guidelines recommend roughly 1½ years in prison but allow the judge the option of giving only probation. The prosecutor asked for 366 days of prison.

Judge Kenneth Walker said he was giving Colindres-Munoz a lighter jail sentence because he cooperated with police, didn’t have a criminal history and was young

ELECTION

PORTLAND — While Oregonians have a record of voting for anti-crime measures, a Nov. 2 ballot initiative being pushed by a prominent Republican has proven controversial because of the money taxpayers would pay to increase mandatory sentences for repeat offenders convicted of sex crimes and drunken driving.

The campaign for Measure 73, which was organized by former GOP gubernatorial candidate Kevin Mannix, a Salem attorney, has brought two strains of conservative thought into conflict: getting tough on crime and getting tough on government spending.

The state faces a shortfall of close to $1 billion this year and a

safety of its citizens,” Leo said.

Also opposing Mannix’s measure are labor unions, civil-rights organizations that oppose mandatory minimum sentences and a prominent organization representing crime victims.

“Incarceration is the most expensive and least effective way to deal with any public safety issue,” said Terrie Quinteros, executive director of the Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.

Measure 73 would require anyone convicted of a “major felony sex crime” who had previously been convicted of a sex crime to be sentenced to 25 years in prison.

That would be a change from the current minimum sentence of 5 years, 10 months.

Subpoenas and a symbolic purge 25 years ago at Rancho Rajneesh 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Oct. 9, 1910 NO LOG CONTRACT The first monthly meeting of the new Bend Commercial Club was held in the room since vacated by the Library reading room and was relieved of monotony by a discussion of the proposal to grant John R. Ryan an exclusive right to use the Deschutes river as a highway for floating logs and lumber. The County Court had made an order granting Ryan a franchise upon the river but the contract defining his rights more particularly and fixing the toll that he might collect for running logs had not been executed and delivered.

Hugh O’Kane introduced the subject, referring to it as one of great importance to Bend, and called upon Mr. Ryan to state the case. Ryan submitted a copy of the proposed contract, which was read by the Secretary. Then he explained that the main purpose of the contract was to open the river so that all-comers could float logs without being subjected to the annoyance of having to make terms with every riparian owner, and the toll of $1 per thousand feet he thought reasonable in view of the expense of improving the river and handling the traffic. Ryan said he would not keep the contract for himself, because he did not deem it desirable to keep, but would turn it over within 24 hours so that the beneficiaries, the timber interests, should carry the burden, “pack the bond.” He also offered to turn it over to anybody else who would take it and put up the $10,000 bond required.

There was some talk about Ryan turning over his contract, if it should be perfected, to others, but Morrison said the objection was not to Ryan but to the terms of the contract and there would be as much opposition to the same contract in the hands of any other bidder.

Ryan contended that it would help Bend to have the river opened as contemplated in the contract. He also reproached Bend citizens for their conduct in such matters. “You sit around and rot,” he said, “unable or unwilling to initiate or carry out any considerable development plans. And when anybody else comes in, sees opportunities and moves to take advantage of them, you knock him to death.”

ROLYAT POST OFFICE Victor Schrader, a settler in the Hampton Butte valley 18 miles southerly from Fife, was in Bend Saturday. He has been appointed postmaster for the new

Y E S T E R D AY post office of Rolyat. (Note to readers: Rolyat — Taylor spelled backwards — and Fife are towns that no longer exist.)

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Oct. 9, 1935 LEIF ERICSON DAY TO BE OBSERVED IN BEND Observance of Leif Ericson day is to be made here Wednesday evening, October 9, under sponsorship of the local Sons of Norway lodge. Alvin Reitan, Alfred Forden, S.D. Tollen, and Peter Bjorvik are members of the committee in charge, with John Jensen director of the main program, which is to be given at 7:30 o’clock at the Allen school.

As arranged by Jensen, the program will include a piano solo by Miss Helen Ellingson, a vocal solo by John Lehman, and a play by children of the school.

Rev. George W. Fallis, pastor of the Methodist church, will give the address of the evening on “Leif Ericson.”

No admission will be charged, the committee stressed, and the public is cordially invited.

Leif Ericson day is set for the approximate date, in the year 1000, of the Scandinavian explorer’s discovery of America.

Greater significance is given to the day by joint congressional resolution which called upon the President of the United States to proclaim the day, authorized the display of the American flag on October 9, and invited the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies.

Three days after Leif Ericson day — this year in the same week — Columbus day will be observed, honoring the memory of that other explorer, discoverer of the West Indies four centuries after the Ericson explorations.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Oct. 9, 1960 WALTER COOMBS, LONG-TIME AUTO DEALER IN BEND, DIES Walter G. Coombs, president of the Bend Garage Co. and long a resident of Central Oregon, died Saturday in San Francicso.

A native of England, Mr. Coombs came to the United States as a young man and early in the century was with a brother in Baker, as early as 1907. For a number of years he covered

much of the interior country as a merchant, with his stock of goods aboard a horse-drawn wagon.

Mr. Coombs early became interested in the Deschutes country, in the national limelight just prior to 1910 when the Hill and Harriman railroad systems fought for rights of way in the Deschutes canyon.

Shaniko was the end of the rails at the time — the “jump-off” point into the new Bend country.

From the Baker country, Mr. Coombs soon found his way into the Deschutes country, and to Bend. At the time there was a rush for Central Oregon land and timber. Mr. Coombs saw the need for improved transportation to get people from the end of the rails to the interior country. He got an automobile.

As steel was extended toward the Crooked River canyon from the north, Mr. Coombs kept in contact with the changing terminals, at Madras, Culver and, for a considerable stop, at Opal City.

Mr. Coombs established a sort of long-distance taxi service. He met trains, and proudly wore a silver badge bearing the information: “Coombs Auto Co.” He also distributed cards for his new transportation, “Coombs Auto Livery.”

He met the trains, and provided transportation to passengers to all points in the interior. This service continued after Bend became the end of the rails, in October, 1911.

When the first world war swept over Europe, the allied powers purchased in Central Oregon many horses, for remount services. Frequently, Mr. Coombs, well acquainted with the hinterland and the big ranchers, especially Bill Brown, “horse king of America,” took the buyers out into the range country by automobile.

Eventually, Mr. Coombs saw need for an establishment to provide cars, and service for those cars. On Aug 9, 1916, Mr. Coombs established the Bend Garage Co., one of the oldest establishments of its kind in the entire state. In recent years, Mr. Coombs was associated in the management of the big plant with his son-in-law, Bob Thomas.

Keenly interested in transportation and highway improvement, Mr. Coombs through the years watched modern routes reach through Central Oregon, replacing the old, rutted roads he had traveled in early days. He seldom missed a bridge dedication or a formal highway opening.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Oct. 9, 1985 SECT BURNS BOOKS, AWAITS SUBPOENAS Gathered around a funeral

pyre, disciples of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh burned his teachings Monday, prompting the guru to proclaim the death of Rajneeshism, the religion founded in his name.

More than 2,000 cheering, singing followers fed the flames with 4,000 copies of the book “Rajneeshism: An Introduction to Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and His Religion.”

“I am against all religions because they have done only harm to mankind,” the guru said after the symbolic purge of former commune leaders who produced the book before fleeing two weeks ago.

“I never wanted the religion to be born in the first place, but because I was silent and in isolation, a gang of fascists managed to create it.”

Meanwhile, Wasco County District Attorney Bernard L. Smith said state police and FBI agents were sent to Rancho Rajneesh to serve nearly 80 subpoenas.

The guru’s former personal secretary, Ma Anand Sheela, and a dozen commune leaders left the settlement amid charges by the guru that they were guilty of crimes including attempted murder and wiretapping.

The guru ordered the books burned to discredit Sheela and the departed disciples. One of the pallets, containing 2,000 books, was draped with the satin and silk clothing once worn

by Sheela during religious ceremonies.

“Today we’re celebrating that Rajneeshism is dead,” the guru’s new personal secretary, Ma Prem Hasya, told the followers, known as sannyasins. The term Rajneeshism was coined by Sheela.

“I never liked it. It was disjointed and just a lot of quotations,” said Ma Prem Niravi of Sydney, Australia.

The burning was upstaged to some degree by state and federal agents who issued subpoenas to dozens of the guru’s followers to testify in investigations of the commune prompted by the guru’s charges.

The guru has said Sheela and her followers conspired to poison several people, burn down a government building and start a food-poisoning outbreak in The Dalles.

Rajneesh also said Sheela had required his followers to wear red clothes and call themselves Rajneeshees. He has dispensed with both practices.

Stoves Continued from B1 Three types of tax credits are available for stoves that qualify, including a federal biomass stove credit of up to $1,500, or 30 percent, of the cost of the stove and its installation. For this credit, the stove must have a 75 percent efficiency rating, and needs to have been purchased after Jan. 1, 2009, and before Dec. 31, 2010.

Those who buy biomass stoves can also qualify for an Oregon Residential Energy credit of up to $300, or 25 percent, of the stove and installation cost. The credit requires that the stove be new, and that its installation in an Oregon residence meet specific requirements. A Biofuels Consumer Income credit of up to $200 is also available, and can be applied toward pellets or cordwood.

Workers Continued from B1 The contractor, ESI, bears sole responsibility for ensuring that employees are paid for their work, Ross said.

ESI staff could not be reached for comment. Listed phone numbers for Cascade Concrete Solutions and the two men who formerly headed up the company no longer work.

Judy Jensen, 50, of Crooked River Ranch, said her husband, David Jensen, worked for Cascade Concrete Solutions and started on the 911 project approximately a year ago. David Jensen was not available because he now works out of town several days a week.

Paychecks from Cascade Concrete Solutions were delayed longer and longer, until the subcontractor’s employees worked without pay all of December and January, Jensen said.

“Meanwhile, we almost lost our house,” said Judy Jensen, who works as a bartender in Redmond.

“They kept saying, ‘Don’t worry, we’ll get you paid,’” she said Tuesday.

Employees of Cascade Concrete Solutions also were not paid for work on private jobs before the company shut down, Banahene said, so the Bureau of Labor and Industries also paid them $13,038 from the state’s wage security fund. The fund was established in 1985 to help workers at plants and companies that close without sufficient funds to pay their employees.

cheaper fuel costs is just one of the benefits of using a wood- or pellet-burning stove.

“Purchasing a wood-burning stove gives homeowners the opportunity to heat their homes with renewable energy,” said Chang. “And there are also a lot of good local benefits of a getting one.”

He points out that using a wood or pellet stove puts money back into the local economy.

Those interested in applying for tax credits for the wood- and pellet-burning stoves should visit www.stovetaxcredit.com for a list of specific criteria for eligibility. Consumers can also visit the website to view a list of stoves that qualify for the credit.

“If we can get people past the upfront cost barrier, it’ll actually save them money,” said Chang.

“And it’ll do good things for the local economy and environment.”

ing on Poe Sholes Drive was completed in late July, and it occupies the second story of a building where the county leases the bottom floor to the Oregon State Police.

Currently, money to pay for the 911 district’s portion of the debt on the building comes from a fiveyear levy voters passed in May 2008. The levy charges 23 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value, in addition to the district’s 16-cent permanent tax rate.

Ross said she learned in February that Cascade Concrete Solutions had not been paying employees for their work.

“I knew about it because employees were calling me, wives were calling me,” Ross said. The project manager for ESI also emailed Ross that month to tell her the BOLI had sent ESI a letter regarding the problem, and then that an employee planned to file a claim to seek payment from Cascade Concrete Solutions’ bond.

At some point, Cascade Concrete had stopped submitting the wage reports to ESI that are required for the subcontractor to get paid, Ross said.

“It’s always a bad thing when employees are not getting paid,” Ross said. “And it was over Christmas, and you couldn’t have picked a worse time.

“I think it’s just a sign of the times,” Ross said. “Things are tight.”

Fountain of youth? Author sheds light on practitioners’ controversial claims

By Judith Graham Chicago Tribune

Can we stave off the ravages of old age, remaining healthy, strong and vital until the end of life draws near?

Anti-aging medicine practitioners say yes, we can, in many cases — if men take testosterone and human growth hormone and women take bio-identical hormones derived from plants, among other remedies.

The claims are controversial: While advocates say anti-aging treatments restore energy, lift libido and tame hot flashes, critics say reliable research hasn’t yet demonstrated their long-term safety or effectiveness.

Arlene Weintraub, a former senior health writer at Bloomberg Businessweek, explores the subject in her new book, “Selling the Fountain of Youth: How the Anti-Aging Industry Made a Disease Out of Getting Old — and Made Billions” (Basic Books, $25.95). She describes her findings in this edited conversation.

Q:

Tell us about the origins of the anti-aging industry, now an $88 billion-a-year business.

latched on to that and started promoting human growth hormone for anti-aging purposes, as a new fountain of youth.

Is that allowable?

Human growth hormone is the only drug that doctors cannot prescribe off-label (for uses unapproved by the Food and Drug Administration), and prescribing the drug for anti-aging purposes isn’t legal. Many doctors diagnose a condition known as adult human growth hormone deficiency and prescribe growth hormone for that. But this condition isn’t very common, nor is it easy to diagnose accurately.

Q: A:

What has fueled the rapid expansion of anti-aging medicine?

The industry’s pitch to patients is simple but tantalizing: Hormones wane as we age, and if we replace them, returning to the levels we had when we were 30 or 35, we can regain the good health and energy levels and libido we had then. It sounds great, especially to baby boomers who don’t want to grow old in the same way that their parents did.

After an initial focus on human growth hormone, the industry branched out to female hormones. A turning point came in 2002, when the Women’s Health Initiative study showed

an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease and stroke for women taking Premarin and Prempro (enormously popular hormones prescribed to menopausal women). Sales of those pharmaceutical products fell dramatically and the anti-aging industry came along and said we have alternatives: natural hormones derived from plants that are better, safer.

In fact, though, we don’t know that is true. Long-term scientific data supporting that claim don’t exist.

Q: A:

What do you advise consumers about anti-aging products?

The bottom line is buyer beware. I advise people to challenge their doctors. Ask what has been proved about the safety of this drug. Why do I need to take it for this amount of time? What are the risks and benefits? What are the possible side effects?

Most mainstream medical societies suggest that hormones should be taken in the smallest dose for the shortest time possible.

Which is often not what you will hear from an anti-aging doctor.

Also, realize you’re going to pay a lot of money out of pocket and will have a very hard time getting any of this reimbursed by your insurance company.

All that said, a lot of people really like anti-aging physicians because they spend so much time

with patients. There’s something to be said for that and for the promise of symptom relief, especially for women going through menopause.

Roy Ward Baker directed ‘A Night to Remember’

By Valerie J. Nelson Los Angeles Times

Roy Ward Baker, the Londonborn director best known for his 1958 documentary-style feature film, “A Night to Remember,” about the sinking of the Titanic, has died. He was 93.

Baker died Tuesday at a London hospital, his son, Nicholas, told the Associated Press. “‘A Night to Remember’ was considered the definitive film on the Titanic before Mr. Cameron got his hands on the subject,” said film critic Leonard Maltin, referring to “Titanic,”

1000’s Of Ads Every Day

the 1997 romantic epic by James Cameron.

“Even the Hollywood movie has not negated the value of the earlier film,” Maltin told the Los Angeles Times on Thursday.

Baker “was interested in making the characters and events seem credible. It’s quite good, dramatically very effective and moving.”

In its review of “A Night to Remember,” Newsweek said that the film, “using no star names familiar to Americans, simply sets forth the facts of the case, letting its own special drama speak for itself.”

Xander Waibel, left, attempts to keep his balance after making Mike Palladino fall into the water during a log rolling demonstration Saturday at the Timberworks Lumberjack Show in Sisters.

Lumberjacks Continued from B1 The events can be dangerous, said Waibel, 23, of Portland, showing off the scars where he smacked his shin with an axe and where he tore into his thigh with a crosscut saw. And even Spiderman gets nervous — even though he’s been lumberjacking for most of his life with his logger father and grandfather, Waibel is still terrified by speed climbing.

Palladino, 23, of Madison, Conn., came into lumberjacking from an entirely different direction, when he joined the lumberjack team at the University of Connecticut. College lumberjack competitions are still relatively rare, he said, but a handful of schools now have varsity lumberjack teams.

“It’s starting to change.

People are starting to convince the schools it’s not just a bunch of bustling lumberjacks hooting and hollering, it’s a real sport,” he said.

Over the course of their show, Waibel and Palladino explained the origins of the different events in a lumberjacking competition, and how they grew out of the real work done by professional

Mike Palladino throws his axe at a log target while demonstrating a variety of lumberjack skills for the audience Saturday. lumberjacks. The springboard race evolved from the need to get up above the root system when felling a large tree, while log rolling got its start from the need to organize logs that had been floated downriver from the forest to the mill.

Lumberjacking is a little like rodeo, Waibel said, in the way work tasks were turned into competitions, sometimes to entertain and sometimes as a way

to test a fellow logger’s boasts.

“I’m sure back in the day it was just like that, ‘I can ride that bull longer than you,’” he said.

“It all started back in the logging camps with the guys: ‘I can saw through this piece of wood faster than you,’ just bragging, ‘I can chop faster than you, log roll longer than you.’”

Spectator Stu Ehr, 54, of Sisters, said learning more about the dangers and difficulties of being a logger in Oregon’s early timber industry was fascinating.

“I think what I really enjoyed about it is the sense of history it brought,” Ehr said. “They really don’t do stuff like this anymore except for entertainment, now that everything’s mechanized.”

Though lumberjack shows are done for this year, the Sisters Harvest Faire continues today, with arts and crafts vendors and live music along Hood Avenue in downtown Sisters from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Admission is free.

McMinnville students put vets’ stories on the page

By Starla Pointer (McMinnville) News-Register

MCMINNVILLE — Dozens of local veterans are featured in a new book created by U.S. history students at McMinnville High School.

“An Interview with History: A Unique Collection of Wartime Experiences” started as an oral history collaboration between teacher Francesca Morrison’s class and the Yamhill County Historical Society. But with help from the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum and a number of individuals — including the veterans who told their stories — it grew into a book that Morrison hopes will serve as a pattern for high school projects throughout Oregon.

“I want to give great thanks to all veterans and others who’ve made great sacrifices, especially those who volunteered to tell their stories to my students,” she said.

Morrison and her students debuted the book Sept. 24 at a program in Evergreen’s IMAX the-

The veterans and students who

participated all received copies.

They turned the pages eagerly, reading about themselves and others.

Student Karlee Branson

shared her copy with her father, Eric, who has been hearing about the project since it started last fall. She showed him her interview with Larry Wood, a Vietnam veteran now serving as director of the museum.

“It meant a lot to me to talk to people who helped protect us,” Karlee said. “I appreciated the time I got to spend with Mr. Wood. That was a moment to remember.”

Copies are available for purchase at the museum. Interviews were featured, along with other displays, Oct. 1 and 2 at the Yamhill Valley Heritage Center.

“An Interview with History” grew out of a grant offered by the historical society.

Gloria Lutz of the YCHS, a former teacher, asked teachers all over the area to apply, and Morrison responded. She estimated 15 students would take part, but she ended up involving 60.

The project also received funding from the McMinnville Education Foundation.

Veterans from Hillside Retire-

ment Communities and other parts of the community came to the high school for interviews.

Students greeted them with thank-you posters, then sat down with them to talk.

They made audio and video recordings of each interview.

The original idea was to make the interviews available at the center, but poor sound quality nixed that. So the students decided to produce them in printed form instead.

That meant they needed more funds. They approached the museum, which immediately offered its support.

Morrison said founder Del Smith deserves a big hand for that.

The teacher said the project ended up becoming a true community effort. It performed a valuable service by preserving veterans’ stories and made a big difference for her students in the bargain.

“You should’ve seen the growth of these students!” she said. “Their attendance

and the quality of their work improved.”

She said they developed empathy, showed pride in their work and became sticklers for accuracy. Many said they were inspired by talking to the veterans and were eager to hear more stories from their elders.

“I know my students learned more than they would have from a history book,” said Morrison, who included step-by-step directions for the project at the back of the volume, so other schools could replicate it.

Jim Willis, head of the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs, said he hopes this project spreads to other schools across the state and nation.

“We need to continue to capture the stories of the people who saved our democracy,” said Willis, keynote speaker at the book premiere event.

“This is a wonderful book.

Great, great stuff,” he said. “I can’t express my admiration for these students. What they’ve done here lives on.”

The Bulletin

Author Benjamin Percy was still feeling the effects of jet lag when The Bulletin spoke to him by phone last week, two days after arriving home in Iowa from two weeks in France, where he was promoting the translation of his 2007 short story collection, “Refresh, Refresh.”

But with the Sept. 28 publication of his first novel, “The Wilding,” he pounced immediately on the book tour, which brings him to Bend Monday (see “If you go”). Within his first two days back in the U.S., Percy had driven to Madison

and Milwaukee, Wis., to give readings.

“And so, my head is not twisted on correctly,” he claimed.

Critics and publishers may not concur with his diagnosis.

On top of successes that include winning a Plimpton Prize in 2007 and $50,000 Whiting Award in 2008 for his fiction, Percy is a regular contributor to Esquire magazine and is the author of a new adventure column in the Wall Street Journal, the first of which chronicled a night spent in a 250-foot-tall, old-growth tree near Eugene.

“It’s been fun, getting paid to play,” he said.

Flying with cremains Religion gets spotlight in ‘God in America’ may require planning

By Chuck Barney

even bigger crisis on its hands: Saggy ratings.

Contra Costa Times

Dear Abby: My wife recently died of lung cancer. While the family would like her ashes buried at the family plot, it was my wife’s wish for her remains to be scattered in a favorite location far away. Family members are trying to discourage me by raising all sorts of issues.

Abby, is there any TSA or airline rule/law that would prevent me from carrying my wife’s ashes on a flight to another state?

— Missing My Lady Out West Dear Missing: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your wife. I spoke with Transportation Security Administration spokesman Greg Soule. One challenge with transporting crematory remains may involve the security screening process.

TSA personnel will never ask you to open an urn. However, if the urn is made of metal that cannot be penetrated by X-ray, it would have to be packed in your checked baggage or shipped.

Some funeral homes will transfer ashes to a temporary plastic container in situations like this.

Mr. Soule said he is not aware of any airline that prohibits passengers from traveling with crematory remains, but it’s a good idea to check with the airline in advance. You should also visit www.tsa.gov, click on “For Travelers” and read the section on “Traveling With Special Items.”

Dear Abby: I consider myself an intelligent, accomplished young woman. I get good grades. I aced my SATs and am an accomplished musician. My problem is I’m afraid I project an image that is too “girly” or immature.

I have a naturally high voice and people seem surprised when they learn how well I do in school and in extracurricular activities.

Sometimes I’m tempted to prove them wrong, but I’m also worried about the impression I give professors, employers and those who matter. How do I present myself more professionally so that peo-

DEAR ABBY ple will take me seriously without sacrificing my femininity?

— Student in Oberlin, Ohio Dear Student: Whether it’s fair or not, many people do form preconceptions because of the way someone presents her- or himself.

Two suggestions come immediately to mind. Ask an adult to go through your closet with you and help you coordinate outfits that are conservative and more mature than “school outfits.” If you have the money, start investing in some clothes that are suited to a business environment. And last — but not least — talk to a voice coach or speech therapist about lowering the register of your voice, which will make you appear to be older and more assertive.

Dear Abby: I am the father of a well-educated, 27-year-old daughter who has a master’s degree. Yet she never remembers birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, etc., with a gift. While I have never expected anything lavish, it’s hurtful to receive nothing but a card.

My daughter wasn’t raised this way. She was fortunate to have two professional parents who provided a very good life for her.

What should I do, Abby? Should I just send a card for her birthday and Christmas, or write and let her know how hurtful I find her negligence?

— Not Gifted in Florida Dear Not Gifted: Your daughter may hold a master’s degree, but she’s not a mind-reader. Go ahead and write her a letter. But before mailing it, wait three or four days so you can reread and edit it if necessary.

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

“God in America” 9 p.m. Monday, PBS The teams from “American Experience” and “Frontline” have collaborated on this ambitious series that examines the major role religion has played in shaping the social, political and cultural life of our nation. Over three nights and six hours, the production interweaves documentary footage, historical dramatization and expert commentary while making a case that you can’t really understand American history without understanding the influence faith has had upon it. The program’s first hour, “A New Adam,” explores the origins

PEBBLES Pebbles and 19 other dogs were transferred to HSCO from a shelter in California that no longer had the space for them. She originally arrived at the California shelter as a stray, so little is known about her past. We estimate that she is around 1 year old and she has a nervous, but very friendly, temperament. Since nothing is known about her, a home that has the time to put her through obedience classes and give her a strong routine is a must!

C OV ER S T ORY

Cinematic

The “fishbowl” dining room in the University of Oregon’s Erb Memorial Student Union building was the site of a notorious food fight in the 1978 John Belushi classic, “Animal House.” The entire National Lampoon parody was filmed on and around the UO campus.

Continued from C1 “Oregon’s in-state film and video industry has been growing steadily,” Porter told me in a meeting at his Portland office.

“Out-of-state dollars are spread throughout the business communities in filming locations.

“That includes hotels and restaurants, of course, but also lumber yards, hardware stores, office supplies, antique stores, retail shops … and wages to Oregonians.”

Popular locations Beginning with “The Fisherman’s Bride,” shot in Astoria in 1908, more than 300 major motion pictures have been filmed in different parts of Oregon. A comprehensive listing of these movies can be found at http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ films_shot_in_Oregon. Additional information on Oregon film projects is available from the Oregon Film Museum in Astoria.

The largest number of movies have been created in the Portland area, in part because it is easy to get to, and thus less expensive than other locations. But the Willamette Valley and northern coast are also popular among film companies. A substantial number of movies have also been made in central and southern Oregon.

More than 40 silent films were shot in Oregon during the 1920s.

Most of them have been all but forgotten, but one movie — Buster Keaton’s 1927 Civil War classic, “The General” — left a shortterm legacy in the evergreen forest near Cottage Grove, where it was filmed. According to a Wikipedia entry: “The climax of the film includes a spectacular moment when a bridge collapses as a railroad train crosses. … Five hundred extras from the Oregon National Guard (were) all dressed up in Union uniforms and were filmed going left-to-right, (then changed) into Confederate uniforms and were filmed going right-to-left. … The production company left the wreckage in the river bed after the scene was filmed. The wrecked locomotive became a minor tourist attractions (until) the metal of the train was salvaged for scrap during World War II.” The 20-odd movies produced in Central Oregon have brought many famous actors to the Bend area: Kirk Douglas and Walter Matthau for “The Indian Fighter” (1956), Douglas and Robert Mitchum for “The Way West” (1967), Tim Conway and Don Knotts for “The Apple Dumpling Gang” (1975), Tom Berenger and Anne Archer for “Love at Large” (1990), and Jennifer Anniston and Steve Zahn for “Management” (2008).

Stark desert-canyon landscapes have been highlighted in such movies as “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues” (1993), with Uma Thurman and Keanu Reeves, and “The Postman” (1997), with Kevin Costner and Will Patton. Smith Rock State Park has never appeared the same since John Travolta shot and killed Sam Shepard as he cast a fly in the pristine Crooked River in “Swordfish” (2001).

Smith Rock also played an important role in the John WayneKatharine Hepburn film “Rooster Cogburn” (1975). A building at the park entrance, a longtime home to the Smith Rock Climbing Guides, was built for the movie as Kate’s Saloon. Mountain scenes in “Rooster Cogburn” were shot in the Cascades west of Bend; the river scenes were filmed on the Rogue River west of Grants Pass.

Mount Bachelor and the South Sister were key players in “St. Helens,” a 1981 film that earned actor Art Carney an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of irascible lodge owner Harry Truman.

The main lodge at the Inn of the Seventh Mountain (now Seventh Mountain Resort) became the Mount St. Helens Lodge; in fact, a “7th Mountain” logo inadvertently appears in one movie scene. Sparks Lake was used to represent Spirit Lake.

For film lovers, these are a

The Willamette Valley village of Brownsville, a national historic district, was the primary set for the 1986 movie “Stand

By Me,” based upon a Stephen King novella. handful of other notable movie locations around Oregon:

Filming in Portland Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant makes his home in Portland, so it’s no surprise that the streets and buildings of Oregon’s largest city may be seen in many of his films. These include “Mala Noche” (1985), “Drugstore Cowboy” (1989), “My Own Private Idaho” (1991), “Elephant” (2003) and “Paranoid Park” (2007).

“Elephant,” which starred native Portlander Alex Frost, was shot at the former Adams High School, since demolished.

In “Paranoid Park,” Burnside Skatepark became the fictional Eastside Skatepark, illegally built by skateboarders. Ironically, Burnside was also built illegally, but was subsequently approved by the city.

This wasn’t the first hell-onwheels production in Portland.

Back in 1972, Raquel Welch played a roller-derby queen in “Kansas City Bomber.” Other notable movies have included “Body of Evidence” (1993), with Madonna and Willem Dafoe; “Zero Effect” (1998), with Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller; “Pay It Forward” (2000), with Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey; “Jackass: The Movie” (2002), with Johnny Knoxville; and “The Road” (2009), with Viggo Mortensen.

Portland schools are popular film locations. Many scenes in the 1994 Richard Dreyfuss movie “Mr. Holland’s Opus,” about a high-school music teacher, were shot at Grant High School. In “Into the Wild” (2007) scenes of Chris McCandless’ (played by Emile Hirsch) graduation from Emory University were actually filmed on the front lawn of Reed College.

Reed also was a primary filming location for “Feast of Love” (2007), with Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear. Knowledgeable Portlanders may recognize the college’s Blue Bridge, its front lawn and its Eliot Circle. Jitters Café, a coffee shop owned by Kinnear’s character, was actually the Fresh Pot on North Mississippi Avenue.

Portland’s South Park Blocks, near Portland State University, show up in William Friedkin’s “The Hunted” (2003), with Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro, and several other movies.

“What the Bleep Do We Know?”

(2004), with Marlee Matlin, was mostly filmed in Portland. Some memorable scenes were committed to film in an IMAX mass-transit tunnel, and a Polish wedding was shot in St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in northwest Portland.

(Built in 1889, the church traditionally serves a largely IrishAmerican parish.)

Since 2008, Portland has been the home of “Leverage,” a wellreceived TNT television series starring Timothy Hutton. The company has a soundstage in Clackamas, but episodes are filmed throughout the greater Portland area.

Outside the city The Doernbecher Children’s Hospital at Oregon Health & Science University was the major setting for the 2010 movie “Extraordinary Measures,” starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser. Nike World Headquarters allowed CBS Films to shoot part of the movie on its Beaverton campus, donating the location payment to the Doernbecher hospital.

Beaverton is one of many Portland suburbs also used as film sets. Most recently, “Thumbsucker” (2005), starring Keanu Reeves and Tilda Swinton, was set in the fictional town of Beaverwood, with locations in both Beaverton and Sherwood, as well as Tualatin High School.

Gresham was the home of young Haley Joel Osment in “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” (2001), also starring William Hurt. Estacada was the setting of “Mean Creek” (2004), with Rory Culkin. The since-razed nuclear power plant at Rainier hosted “Men of Honor” (2000), with Robert DeNiro, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Charlize Theron.

Both “Halloweentown” (1998), with Debbie Reynolds, and “Twilight” (2008), with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, were filmed in St. Helens.

At least a dozen movies have been filmed in the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland. Most notable was “Maverick” (1994), featuring riverboat gamblers Mel

Gibson, Jodie Foster and James Garner.

Mount Hood may be best known for the exterior scenes of Timberline Lodge used in the 1980 horror classic “The Shining,” starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. But several other movies have also been filmed on the mountain, including “Bend of the River” (1952), with James Stewart and Rock Hudson. The mountain became a Korean War set for “All the Young Men” (1960), with Sidney Poitier and Alan Ladd; and it represented the Tibetan Himalayas in the musical remake of “Lost Horizon” (1973), starring Peter Finch, Liv Ullman and John Gielgud.

Willamette Valley Perhaps no movie filmed in Oregon has stirred more controversy than “Animal House,” a 1978 John Landis vehicle starring John Belushi. Many campuses rejected the filmmaker’s location request, due to the raunchy content of the script, before Eugene’s University of Oregon approved it. Then-President William Boyd even allowed his office in Johnson Hall to be used as that of Dean Vernon Wormer (John Vernon).

The movie’s Delta House was an early-20th-century Eugene residence that served as the home of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity from 1959 to 1967. Although it was demolished in 1986 and replaced by a suite of doctors’ offices, a large building outside the new building bears a plaque that commemorates the Delta House location.

Many of the interior scenes were filmed within the adjacent Sigma Nu house, which still stands today on East 11th Avenue; the exterior of the frat house was cast as a sorority house through whose window Belushi peered at half-naked coeds.

The movie’s climactic parade scene, featuring actor Kevin Bacon’s film debut, took place in downtown Cottage Grove.

Eugene and Cottage Grove also figured in “Stand By Me” (1986), based on a Stephen King novella, “The Body.” Most scenes of the River Phoenix movie were shot in tiny Brownsville, standing in for the fictional Oregon town of Castle Rock.

The scenes along the railroad tracks, where the four main characters discover a body early in the movie, were filmed near Cottage Grove, along a railroad right-of-way that is now the Row River National Trail.

Other films shot in Eugene have included “Rachel and the Stranger” (1948), with Loretta Young and William Holden; “Shenandoah” (1965), with James Stewart and Katharine Ross; and “Five Easy Pieces” (1970), with Jack Nicholson and Karen Black.

In “Getting Straight” (1970), Elliott Gould and Candice Bergen were students in revolt on the Lane Community College campus. In “How to Beat the High Co$t of Living” (1980), Jane Curtin and Jessica Lange shopped at the new Valley River Center.

“Without Limits” (1998), largely filmed at Hayward Field and at The Pad tavern in Eugene, featured Billy Crudup as distance runner Steve Prefontaine and Donald Sutherland as his coach, Bill Bowerman.

“Quarterback Princess” (1983), featuring Helen Hunt and Tim Robbins, was set in McMinnville.

“Bandits” (2001), a road movie with Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett, was shot in Silverton and Salem.

Opening scenes of “Seraphim Falls” (2006), starring Liam Neeson and Pierce Brosnan, were filmed at Sahalie Falls on the upper McKenzie River.

The best-known movie to have been shot in Salem was “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975), based upon the novel of the same name by Eugenean Ken Kesey. Starring Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher, both of whom won Oscars for their roles, it was filmed almost entirely at the Oregon State Mental Hospital (2600 Center St. N.E., Salem).

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, October 10, 2010 C5

Courtesy Barb Gonzalez

Schwarzenegger’s “Kindergarten Cop” (1990) was filmed here, using many students and staff as extras.

Numerous other scenes from the movie were shot around Astoria, and a school picnic was set at Ecola State Park, 25 miles south near Cannon Beach. But Ecola is best remembered as a setting for Kathryn Bigelow’s “Point Break” (1991), a surfing adventure movie starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves.

Many “Point Break” scenes were also filmed at Wheeler, a tiny Nehalem River community.

The village of Nehalem itself figured heavily in “Shattered” (1991), with Tom Berenger and Greta Scacchi, along with adjacent Neahkahnie Mountain and Oswald West State Park.

Around the state In Southern Oregon, “The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid” (1972), featuring Robert Duvall as Jesse James, was filmed in the old gold-rush town of Jacksonville. The Jacksonville Inn and Bella Union Restaurant & Saloon are easily recognizable.

In the alien-abduction epic “Fire in the Sky” (1993), with Robert Patrick and D.B. Sweeney, the historical community of Oakland (north of Roseburg) subbed for Snowflake, Ariz. Several scenes from “The River Wild” (1994), with Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon, were filmed on the Rogue River. “Dead Man” (1995), a selfdescribed “acid western” starring Johnny Depp, was shot in the Grants Pass area.

Director Gary Lundgren chose

Ashland as the location for his new movie “Calvin Marshall,” which was scheduled to show twice during this weekend’s BendFilm festival. Starring Alex Frost and Steve Zahn, it is the story of a zealous but not especially talented college baseball player, and a good example of how a film company can affect a community.

Many scenes were shot at the athletic facilities of Southern Oregon University, where about 200 extras stood in as sports fans.

Sports fields in Ashland (North Mountain Park) and Medford (Harry and David Park) were also employed, as were local homes, the Whiskey River Café in White City and the Rogue Valley Family Fun Center in Central Point.

In Eastern Oregon, perhaps no location is more identifiable than the Anthony Lakes Lodge. During the filming of “Paint Your Wagon” (1969), a ribald musical that starred Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood, a central location was the saloon of Starbottle’s Hotel. Built of wood from a 19th-century miner’s cabin, the fictional hotel was eventually

dismantled, but the “Starbottle Saloon” sign still sits on a wall within the small ski area’s main watering hole.

The Pendleton Roundup grounds were the main filming site for “8 Seconds” (1994), in which Luke Perry portrayed champion bull rider Lane Frost.

John Day and Canyon City are nearly as removed from the Oregon mainstream as is Burns. This is not a part of the state where many film companies venture.

But one 1972 movie — Walt Disney’s “Napoleon and Samantha,” starring young actors Michael Douglas and Jodie Foster — had a lasting legacy.

The movie is about two youngsters and their pet, an aging excircus lion. Foster was 8 when the story was filmed in 1970; it was her first movie role. But during the filming, she was attacked by the lion; according to www.who2 .com, she still has faint lion-bite scars on her stomach and back.

Not surprisingly, she also has had a lifelong fear of cats.

The movie version of Kesey’s second novel, “Sometimes a Great Notion” (1970), starring Paul Newman and Henry Fonda as gritty independent loggers, was filmed in several locations on the Oregon Coast, including Newport, Florence and Toledo.

Mo’s Chowder House, on the Yaquina Bay front in Newport, became “The Snag,” a popular local bar where much of the action took place. Tiny Kernville, near the mouth of the Siletz River south of Lincoln City, was the location of the Stamper family home.

Astoria may forever be known as the home of “The Goonies” (1985), which this summer drew visitors from around the world to the movie’s 25th anniversary celebration. Starring Sean Astin and Corey Feldman, both of whom came back to Astoria for the festivities, the adventurecomedy tells the story of a group of teenagers in search of an ancient pirate treasure.

It’s easy to find “Goonies” locations in Astoria. Visitors can start at the old Clatsop County Jail, out of which Mama Fratelli broke her son, Jake, in the movie’s opening scene. The jail is now the Oregon Film Museum, which opened on June 4, the first day of the “Goonies” anniversary party.

And while its displays highlight the entire state’s film heritage, there is a special “Goonies Gallery” just for fans of that movie.

Maps will send you to the Captain George Flavel House Museum (441 Eighth St.), the historical museum where Irving Walsh, the father of Mikey (Astin) and Brand (Josh Brolin), worked.

They will direct you to the Walsh home at 368 38th St., from which Data (Ke Huy Quan) zip-lined to Mikey’s window from his house next door (370 38th St.).

The John Jacob Astor Elementary School is just a few blocks away, at 3550 Franklin Ave. In fact, it’s almost impossible to get to the “Goonies” houses without passing this school. During the summer of 1989, Arnold

London’s expensive, but your vacation doesn’t have to be

By Sharon Harvey Rosenberg and Myscha Theriault McClatchy-Tribune News Service Submitted photo

Benjamin Percy’s novel “The Wilding” weaves together multiple story lines about men, guns and a Bend exploding with growth

Percy Continued from C1 Percy, 31, now hangs his hat in Iowa, where he’s an associate professor in the MFA program at Iowa State University, but he’s an export of Central Oregon. Raised in Tumalo and educated at Sunriver Preparatory Academy, he headed off for studies at Brown University and Southern Illinois University.

But it’s clear from the way Bend and Central Oregon are fixtures in his fiction that Percy’s thoughts are never far from his first home.

As he told The Bulletin in 2006, “No more than 200 works of fiction have emerged from Oregon’s woods. It’s a literary canon coming of age. And I’m very interested in putting my graffiti on the bathroom wall.”

With two story collections under his belt, Percy made Central Oregon the setting of his first novel, “The Wilding,” published last month by Graywolf Press. In it, he weaves together multiple story lines about men, guns and a Bend exploding with growth.

Three years in the making, “The Wilding” is receiving high praise from critics, including a starred review in Publisher’s Weekly, in which it was likened to a modern-day “Deliverance.”

Novel writing was a new adventure for Percy, who called it “the ultimate exercise in revision. I began the piece as a short story, and as my father once said to me, ‘You know what the problem with your short stories is? They’re too short.’

“I found that mildly amusing, (but) it began to gradually make a kind of sense to me. With so many of my short stories, I’ve continued to think about the characters, and wonder what they were up to long after the piece might have appeared in a magazine or in a book, as was the case with this piece, called ‘The Woods,’ which appeared in ‘Refresh, Refresh.’ ” The story ended “in a way to leave you hanging,” Percy said.

“I just began to imagine a larger canvas for these people, and experiment with a longer track of narrative, and ended up putting together a kind of novel.”

He sold that manuscript to Graywolf Press, which expressed the hope that he was open to suggestions, which he was.

“I felt, too, that the manuscript needed to be more expansive; it felt too constricted, following this one narrative track,” he said.

The story was originally told in the first person, but Percy switched to the third person, with “four braided story lines all coming together at once. That was exactly the right move.”

It was a lot of work, but “I felt motivated at that moment,” he said, adding that “maybe my motivation started to wane after a year of revision.”

But he wasn’t done yet. His editor said “fantastic,” he recalls, but also suggested axing a story line and replacing it with a female perspective. He went back to work once more, rearranging the entire manuscript.

That’s the draft of “The Wilding” that, finally, saw the light of day, all told, a three-year process.

“If writing short stories is a sprint, which is how I’ve described it in the past, this was definitely a marathonic experience,” he said.

Percy has another marathon ahead. His 90 pages of a novel to be titled “Red Moon” sold at auction recently to Grand Central, formerly Warner Books.

“It’s a little bit more commercial than what I’ve been producing in the past,” Percy said, skirting around using the term “horror” to describe the book’s genre, then settling on “supernatural.”

He’s taking a leave from teaching so he can concentrate on completing the book.

“I’m not sure what my next move is going to be, but right now I just gotta hunker down and work on this book. So I’m really thrilled about that, and certain also that a piano’s going to fall out of the sky and crush me at any second.”

We traveled to London for a relative’s wedding. Our daily agenda included a mix of family obligations and a daily challenge: how to enjoy London on a limited budget.

It’s one of the priciest destinations on the planet, often keeping cost-conscious travelers at bay. These money-saving tips will put London back on your bucket list.

Freebies The British National Museum, Museum of Natural History and the Museum of London are free, world-class attractions worthy of lengthy exploration.

Other London freebies include the National Portrait Gallery and complimentary lunch-hour lectures at University College London every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:15.

Food In the Golders Green section of London, we found a tasty lineup of kosher shops and restaurants, including Carmelli Bagel Bakery. The cinnamon buns, currant scones and other takeout items provided us with frugal, delicious treats for picnic lunches and midday snacks.

Other culinary experts repeatedly advised us that international restaurants provide a far better bargain when dining out in London. Amy Scher, a London enthusiast, raves about her favorite Pakistani establishment: Tayyabs. Scher was able to order a decadent meal of lamb with a high-end appetizer

Planning Andrea Dickson, a Wise Bread blogger, recommends planning your tourist route ahead of time. London’s tube is more expensive than mass transit in other cities, so you don’t want to zigzag across the city unnecessarily. She also recommends grabbing groceries to go at your nearest Tesco of opportunity. This grocery chain is a great option for purchasing picnic items without paying convenience-store prices, according to Dickson.

Parks The famous Hyde Park offers a mixture of gardens, lawns, concession stands and an extensive lake area. Located in Central London, Hyde Park is one of the Royal Parks of London. We had a great time strolling through the park, peoplewatching and garden-hopping.

Hyde Park is adjacent to Kensington Gardens and the Diana Memorial Playground, an innovative playground that pays tribute to Princess Diana. The entire area offers a solid day of low-cost (mostly free) fun for travelers of all ages.

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010: This year, opportunities occur and come in from out of left field.

Ideas pop up during discussions.

Accept new technology and open up to more optimistic approaches. Be careful with your health, especially if you have a sweet tooth. You could see an increase in your waistline.

The unexpected often fries your nerves. If you are single, opening up to another person might take a while and could be slightly more difficult than in past years. If you are attached, learn new and better ways of communicating.

Consider a workshop in couples communication. SAGITTARIUS sometimes talks your ear off.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Individuals appear with different ideas and suggestions like a revolving door in your life right now. Maintain a sense of humor, and you really could get a kick out of what develops. Tonight: Choose a mind-relaxing activity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Others seem to be a bit controlling and demanding.

Your ability to move past problems could be an issue with a needy friend. Don’t forget a very important person in your life. Tonight: Make a special dinner for two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH The best of intentions could be waylaid by a partner or older relative. Learn to flex without losing your centering. You will accomplish what you need to, on your own time. Tonight: How about saying “yes” to fun?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH If you can understand what is happening within a key interaction, it could be helpful.

Though lightening up this person could be emotional, much is to be gained. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Be more forthright with a family matter. This situation needs stronger feedback from you as far as direction and choices. Try a mellow, direct approach. A partner plays into the conversation. Tonight: Add more fun to the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Keep conversations moving. A frustrating amount of confusion comes through a partner or several close loved ones. They keep tossing out suggestions, not allowing you enough time to mentally pursue one to its conclusion.

Tonight: Head on home.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Be aware of the financial implications of a decision. The unexpected could toss your plans in the air. Remember -- don’t lose your sense of centering.

Today is your day off, too. Don’t let go of the idea of taking a walk or going to the movies.

Tonight: Join friends for dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Let yourself be spontaneous. A child or loved one hops into the mix. Let go of what you must do, and go with what you enjoy doing. The unexpected plays a significant role in the fun.

Tonight: Start roping yourself in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Sometimes taking some personal time is a necessity.

Even if you don’t feel like it, you could find a great deal of discomfort being out and about.

Tonight: Now stretch your wings.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be aware of what others want. Join pals or family for an extended brunch or an adventure movie. You need to stay centered and direct with a friend who often tosses a lot on you all at once. Tonight: Get some much-needed R and R. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH A must appearance is inevitable. You need to visit with a parent or older friend. You easily could overindulge, whether you intend to or not. Others have odd expectations that for some reason you feel a need to fulfill.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Take off if you can. A day trip or visit to a different, unique setting helps you recharge your batteries. More importantly, you’ll gain a new perspective. Reflect on these insights. Tonight: Stop in and visit with an older friend. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Playwright Nilo Cruz prepares for 2 world premieres

By Christine Dolen

by Washington’s Arena Stage.

“Hurricane” was promised its festival production before he had ever written a word.

“I’m such an admirer of Baryshnikov, and this is a big honor,” he says. “Playwrights write for the theater. We don’t write for the drawer.”

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — In 2003, when he became the first Latino to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama for “Anna in the Tropics,” Cuban-born, Miami-raised Nilo Cruz experienced a thrilling tapestry of feelings: pride, gratitude, humility and a happiness so intense that he wept.

But the playwright didn’t fully understand then that being celebrated and elevated can interfere with the creative process. Or that seven years would pass before he had a play written after “Anna” produced.

“I was in a state of shock for almost two years, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing,” Cruz says. “An award can get in the way of the process, of knowing where I am spiritually and as a human being and as a writer.

I cannot let (that) dictate my growth. I have to honor my process. The moment a work starts dealing with a formula, it is death.”

Cruz has hardly been idle since becoming internationally famous for “Anna,” which was commissioned by and had its 2002 world premiere at tiny New Theatre in Coral Gables.

Two other plays he had already written by the time the Pulitzer changed his life, “Lorca in a Green Dress” and “Beauty of the Father,” have had multiple productions, as has “Anna,” which has been (or will be) staged in English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Belarusian and Italian. With Robert Moresco, Cruz wrote the screenplay for “Castro’s Daughter,” a movie about Alina Fernandez Revuelta that is in preproduction.

He wrote the script for the stillunproduced Frank Wildhorn musical “Havana.” He continued with the usual playwright’s routine of writing, staged readings, workshops and rewriting.

But unsurprisingly, his celebrity has gobbled away at his writing time, with requests for speeches, appearances, teaching gigs.

Yet as he heads toward his 50th birthday on Oct. 10, Cruz is about to experience a rarity: two world premieres in less than a week.

First up is “The Color of Desire,” which opened at Actors’

Actors rehearse the latest play by Nilo Cruz, “The Color of Desire,” which is being staged at the Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theater in Coral Gables, Fla., on September 17. Jim Ballard plays the role of Preston and Hannia Guillen plays Belen.

Playhouse in Coral Gables on Friday after two nights of previews. Then, on a special “Night of Premieres” on Wednesday, the Ringling International Arts Festival-commissioned Cruz play “Hurricane” will debut at the Historic Asolo Theater within the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla.

Different stories Though the scripts display their author’s distinctive poetic language and gift for vividly evocative imagery, the plays are quite different.

“I’m excited about both of them,” Cruz says. “They come from different places in me.”

“The Color of Desire” is set in politically turbulent Havana circa 1960. Its characters are

Americans and Cubans, expatriates, revolutionaries and theater people, all adjusting (or not) to the country’s rapid change. At its heart is the erotically charged relationship of an American businessman and an out-of-work Cuban actress — a relationship that becomes a metaphor for their countries’ ruptured love affair.

Set on an unspecified Caribbean island, “Hurricane” looks at faith, love and identity in the aftermath of a hurricane that robs a man of his memory.

Though it keeps to the under-anhour length set for the Ringling festival’s world-premiere lineup (which includes a program of solos danced by David Neumann and Mikhail Baryshnikov, whose Manhattan-based Baryshnikov Arts Center partnered with the Ringling Museum to create the

festival), “Hurricane” richly weds Cruz’s artful brand of magical realism to a familial story that is tender, harrowing and funny.

David Arisco, the Actors’ Playhouse artistic director who is staging “The Color of Desire,” and Michael Donald Edwards, producing artistic director of Sarasota’s Asolo Repertory Theater and director of “Hurricane,” are well aware of the significance of staging a new Cruz play and of the specific skills required of them.

“Nilo has written a beautifully tragic tale. ... His language just flows, but he can use that style and still have conversations, pacing and conflict, instead of just waxing poetic. It’s a chamber musical without the music,” Arisco says. “I want to make sure this gets seen and gets sent out there into the world.”

Edwards calls Cruz a “poet of the stage” and adds, “My role is usually to carve out with precision the argument of a play. Nilo isn’t about arguing. He’s about revealing. I’ve surrendered to that. I want to give people the experience of this unfettered. ...

He’s unique. You could take his name off the script, and you’d know it was his.”

Cruz divides his time between New York and Miami, where he lives in an apartment with a view of Biscayne Bay. He has been driving back and forth across Alligator Alley during the simultaneous rehearsal periods but feels exhilarated and excited rather than exhausted.

He notes that “The Color of Desire” had the far longer gestation period, emerging through 15 drafts after it was commissioned

In the cast of “The Color of Desire” are actors with different connections to Cruz and to Cuba.

Hannia Guillen, once a regular on the daytime drama “Passions,” plays the Cuban actress Belen. She was directed by Cruz in the 2008 U.S. premiere of Cuban playwright Anton Arrufat’s “La repeticion” on the same stage on which “Color of Desire” will debut. Like Cruz, she was born in Cuba, came to the United States at 10 and studied with castmate Teresa Maria Rojas — Cruz’s first mentor — at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson campus.

“Nobody knows our story better than we do,” Guillen says of Cruz. “Nilo’s work is beautiful for Cubans and for everybody.

His characters are full of life and ambition. His plays are heartwrenching. It’s like a mirror of myself. I hope we can work together again and again.”

Isabel Moreno, who plays one of Belen’s aunts, was a teen in Cuba in the early 1960s and wasn’t able to leave the island until 1992. She believes Cruz has done a vivid, accurate job of evoking the era.

Rojas plays Belen’s other aunt in her second world premiere — after “Beauty of the Father” at New Theatre in 2004 — with her former student.

Rojas left Cuba on Christmas Eve in 1960, the year in which “Color of Desire” takes place, a little more than two months after Cruz was born in Matanzas.

Though he didn’t experience the world he evokes, he nails “that moment in time in his very poetic way,” Rojas says, “with a perspective all his own.”

Meanwhile, Cruz is focused on growing, not looking back.

“You have to be a listener,” he says. “You have to listen to the new rules of the new play and forget about everything in the past. You have to be brave.”

No. 3 Oregon could move up in the polls after No. 1 Alabama’s loss; Oregon State defeats No. 9 Arizona From wire service reports Both Oregon and Oregon State registered important Pac-10 football road victories Saturday, keeping both teams in contention for some big postseason prizes.

And the undefeated Ducks, who entered Saturday’s game against Washington State ranked No. 3 in the country, could move up in the national rankings when the new polls are released today — thanks to South Carolina’s stunning upset of No. 1-ranked Alabama. The Ducks could move up to No. 2, or possibly No. 1, depending on today’s vote. The top two teams in the Bowl Championship Series standings at the end of the regular season play in the BCS national title game.

The unranked Beavers, eight-point underdogs entering their game at No. 9-ranked Arizona, scored an upset of

their own, never trailing against the Wildcats and winning 29-27 to improve to 2-0 in conference play (3-2 overall).

Oregon’s 43-23 victory at Washington State was more costly than impressive, as a number of Ducks were injured in the contest — notably quarterback Darron Thomas and return specialist and backup tailback Kenjon Barner, neither of whom returned to the game.

Washington State (1-5) provided an unexpected challenge for Oregon, which was a prohibitive favorite. But senior quarterback Nate Costa came off the bench to lead the Ducks, who improved to 3-0 in the Pac-10 (6-0 overall).

Runners take off from the starting line during the Oxford Classic cross-country race at Bend’s Drake Park on Friday. Central Oregon has produced some of the top cross-country runners in the state over the last three decades.

Central Oregon’s high school crosscountry programs have a history steeped in success.

From Mountain View harrier Lisa Karnopp’s state title in 1985 to Summit standout Megan Fristoe’s state championship in 2009, cross-country athletes have flourished on the High Desert.

The explanations for such a long string of running achievements are relatively simple, according to several area coaches

who have been intimately involved in the sport for years. The area’s environment is the first and perhaps most obvious answer. The seasonal climate and varied terrain provides Central Oregon’s inhabitants with myriad recreational opportunities.

“We (in Central Oregon) have a large population of outdoor-oriented people.

Cross country is just a natural extension of that,” says Don Stearns, Mountain View’s head coach now in his 17th season as a cross-country coach.

Historically, Central Oregon schools

have always shown well at the state meet.

Bend High won eight Class AAA or 4A boys state championships between 1986 and 2001, while the Lava Bears’ girls team captured five consecutive Oregon titles from 1990 to 1995.

Mountain View has a Class 4A boys (1995) and a girls (2000) state championship trophy, and Crook County won four Class AA girls state titles from 1974 to 1978 and a boys title in 1976. La Pine boasted the top Class 3A boys team in 1998.

HILLSBORO — Summit rolled through the Glencoe Invitational on Saturday, winning the tournament without dropping a match.

The Storm powered through pool play, defeating Willamina, Sandy and host Glencoe all two games to zero.

Summit, which finished second at last season’s Class 5A state volleyball tournament, proceeded to post a 25-13, 2518 win over Hood River Valley in the quarterfinal round and a 25-15, 25-12 victory against Century in the semifinals before topping Central Oregon rival Redmond 24-26, 2515, 15-9 in the tournament’s championship match.

While no statistics were kept, Storm coach Jill Waskom pointed out the play of seniors Jacqueline Reber and Jordyn Hagan, as well as the performance of junior Courtney Langer.

The Panthers rolled through the tournament before the championship final as well, taking first in their pool with wins over Madison and Hood River Valley, in addition to a split with Century.

In bracket play, Redmond topped David Douglas (2518, 25-17) in the quarterfinals and Bend (25-21, 15-25, 15-4) in the semifinals before the Panthers’ three-game final with the Storm.

Both schools are back in action this week. Summit hosts Bend High in a Class 5A Intermountain Conference match on Thursday, while Redmond entertains Grant High of Portland on Tuesday in a Class 6A Special District 1 contest.

Schoolboys meet again, this time with more on the line

SAN FRANCISCO — There were times when Jason Heyward, the Braves’ young slugger, stepped to the plate Thursday night and was serenaded with chants of “Posey’s better.”

Buster Posey, the Giants’ baby-faced catcher, said he did not hear the fans.

Whether Heyward heard them or not,

the chants were simply the hometown crowd’s way of voicing its support for one of two rookies who have changed their teams’ fortunes this season. When the teams’ National League division series shifts to Atlanta today, with the best-of-five set tied 1-1, the tune is expected to be different.

S B Triathlon • McCormack wins second Ironman triathlon title: Australia’s Chris McCormack won the Ironman World Championship for the second time in four years Saturday, finishing the 140.6-mile triathlon in 8 hours, 10 minutes, 37 seconds. The 37-year-old McCormack held off a late challenge from Germany’s Andreas Raelert, with the two running side by side into the final miles of the marathon following a 2.4-mile swim and 112-mile bike ride. In the women’s division, Australian Mirinda Carfrae raced to her first Ironman title, winning in 8:58:36.

Auto racing • Kyle Busch extends record to 12 wins: Kyle Busch took advantage of two poor pit stops by Kevin Harvick’s crew and rallied from a speeding penalty for his recordextending 12th Nationwide Series victory of the year Saturday at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Busch, the polesitter, had the best car on the restarts, but Harvick was better on the long runs in the 300-mile race. Harvick’s crew negated any long-run success he was having, bumbling two pit stops to knock him out of the lead twice.

• Matt Hagan backs up Funny Car record run: Matt Hagan officially certified his 4.011-second run from Friday as an NHRA national record, powering his Dodge Charger to a 4.046-second run in the final qualifying session Saturday in the Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals at Maple Grove Raceway in Mohnton, Pa.

Baseball • Report: Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn has cancer: Hall of Fame outfielder Tony Gwynn says he has cancer in a salivary gland. He told The San Diego Union-Tribune the cancer was discovered last month and he faces seven to eight weeks of treatment — radiation five times a week and chemotherapy once a week. “The doctors have told me they feel they caught the cancer early and there was not much of it there,” he said in a story published Saturday. The parotid cancer was diagnosed after the former Padres star had a third round of surgery since 1997 to remove a tumor on the parotid gland. The previous procedures found no malignancies.

Tennis • Top-seeded Djokovic, Wozniacki into Beijing finals: Defending champion Novak Djokovic reached the final of the China Open on Saturday by beating John Isner of the United States 7-6 (1), 6-4. On the women’s side, new No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki beat Shahar Peer 7-5, 6-2 to reach the title match. The Dane will play Vera Zvonareva, who powered past Li Na 6-3, 6-3.

• Nadal to face Monfils in Japan Open final: Rafael Nadal needed two tiebreaks and a late service break to beat unseeded Viktor Troicki 7-6 (4), 4-6, 7-6 (7) and reach the Japan Open final on Saturday in Tokyo. Troicki served for the match in the third set, but Nadal broke and squeezed by in a tight tiebreak to win. He will face Gael Monfils of France for the title. Monfils defeated Radek Stepanek in straight sets to earn his spot in today’s final. The No. 5 seed, Monfils breezed to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over the Czech to secure his berth, playing a strong game on the net and firing off six aces, to two for Stepanek.

Soccer • Poland salvages 2-2 draw with U.S. on late goal: Oguchi Onyewu’s goal and Jermaine Jones’ assist in his first game in a U.S. uniform weren’t enough for the United States, which settled for a 2-2 draw in an exhibition against Poland on Saturday night in Chicago. The Americans looked as if they might have the game-winner off a corner kick in the 90th minute, but a Poland defender cleared the ball off the line, and the U.S. couldn’t convert a handful of other chances.

Yankees eliminate Twins Wild-card New York will take on Texas-Tampa Bay series winner The Associated Press NEW YORK — Come October, the New York Yankees speed past the Minnesota Twins with ease.

Phil Hughes pitched seven shutout innings, Marcus Thames and Nick Swisher homered and the Yankees beat the Twins 6-1 Saturday night to complete yet another three-game sweep of Minnesota and return to the AL championship series.

“We really wanted to close it out here,” Hughes said.

Robinson Cano tripled off Brian Duensing in the second inning and scored on Jorge Posada’s single, Mark Teixeira added an RBI single in the third and Thames made it 4-0 in the fourth with his first career postseason homer, a two-run drive over the right-field scoreboard.

Swisher added a solo homer in the seventh against Scott Baker.

The wild-card Yankees, rebounding from a late-season fade in which they lost 17 of their final 26, begin the ALCS on Friday at Texas or Tampa Bay. With the short first-round series, the defending World Series champions put ace CC Sabathia in position to start the opener.

The AL Central champion Twins lost their 12th straight postseason game dating to 2004, one shy of the record set by the Boston Red Sox from 1986-95.

In addition to this year, the Yankees knocked out the Twins in the first round in 2003, 2004 and last season. New York outscored the Twins 17-7 in this series and scorched them 69-36 in the four playoff triumphs.

“We expect everyone to produce. We don’t just rely on or one two guys,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “We rely on a circular lineup.”

With Minnesota badly missing Justin Morneau, sidelined since midseason because of a concussion, the heart of the Twins’ order Saturday, AL MVP Joe Mauer and Jason Kubel, combined to go three for 20 (.150) with no RBIs in the series.

“Right now, we’re in a little rut here. We can’t seem to get it together once we get into the playoffs,” Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. “We have to do some more searching here on how to get it done.”

New York Yankees Robinson Cano hits a triple against the Minnesota Twins in the second inning in Game 3 of the American League Division Series baseball game at Yankee Stadium on Saturday in New York. The Yankees swept the series with the Twins with a 6-1 victory.

After leading the major leagues during the regular season with a .285 average with runners in scoring position, the Twins couldn’t get a single clutch hit in the playoffs. With runners in scoring position, they went an almost impossibly bad zero for 14 before Denard Span’s too-little, too-late single in the eighth off Kerry Wood.

Orlando Hudson followed with an RBI single, and a Mauer walk loaded the bases. Boone Logan threw one pitch, retiring Kubel on an infield fly, and David Robertson got Delmon Young on an inning-ending flyout. Minnesota finished the series two for 18 (.222) with runners in scoring position with one RBI. In the first postseason game at new Yankee Stadium following the death of George Steinbrenner in July, the late owner’s four children all looked on, hoping to see a repeat of the run that brought the pinstripes their record 27th World Series title last year, which christened the $1.5 billion ballpark.

Hughes gave up four hits, struck out six and walked one, leaving to chants of “Hughes!” from the new Yankee Stadium record crowd of 50,840 following his first scoreless start since May 12. He was perfect his first time through the order, then allowed Span’s single to right lead-

ing off the fourth. Hughes didn’t allow a runner past second.

Four relievers followed, with Mariano Rivera closing it out 1-2-3 in a non-save situation.

Posada came to the mound, and teammates trotted out for handshakes in a low-key celebration that seemed more like a regular-season victory than a postseason series clincher. Fans didn’t stick around long, knowing that World Series titles are the only ones truly worthy of a party in the Bronx.

Cano got the Yankees started in the second with a drive just to the left of center that appeared to carry in the slight breeze and drop over Span and off the base of the wall. Posada then singled sharply through the left side.

With Duensing’s pitches flattening across the plate like a Frisbee, Swisher doubled to leftcenter with one out in the third, and Teixeira’s single made it 2-0.

When Cano singled leading off the fourth and Thames followed with the home run that made it 4-0, the game seemed over.

With the left-handed Duensing on the mound, Thames took over at designated hitter from Game 2 offensive star Lance Berkman.

Duensing allowed five runs and seven hits in 3 1⁄3 innings, unable to stop the Yankees’ steamroller, and Brett Gardner

hit a sacrifice fly off Matthew Guerrier.

Also on Saturday: Rays . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 Rangers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — John Jaso hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth after Carlos Pena had another rare clutch playoff hit for Tampa Bay, and the Rays avoided elimination in the AL division series by beating Texas.

The Rays, the AL’s best team in the regular season, cut their deficit in the best-of-five series to 2-1. Game 4 is today.

Limited to a total of one run while losing the first two games at home, Tampa Bay broke loose in the late innings.

With the record crowd of 51,746 still buzzing from Ian Kinsler’s leadoff homer in the seventh that put the Rangers up 2-1, Dan Johnson doubled off the wall with one out in the Rays eighth. Pena followed with an RBI single that tied the game.

After B.J. Upton struck out, reliever Darren O’Day was pulled after facing only one batter. Rangers manager Ron Washington made a curious move bringing All-Star closer Neftali Feliz into a tie game in the eighth. Feliz walked Jason Bartlett, the No. 9 hitter in Tampa Bay’s order, before Jaso’s liner gave the Rays their first lead in the series.

Red Wings spoil Blackhawks’ celebration The Associated Press CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks raised their 2010 Stanley Cup championship banner, but then were done in by plays that were anything but title-worthy.

Valtteri Filppula’s second goal of the game snapped a thirdperiod tie, and the Detroit Red Wings spoiled the Blackhawks’ celebration with a 3-2 victory over Chicago on Saturday night.

Filppula exploited two breakdowns and scored on the power-play at 7:01, putting Detroit ahead 3-2.

Chicago defenseman John Scott fell as Filppula accelerated toward him at the blue line.

Filppula cut to the net and accidentally slid a shot under Blackhawks goalie Marty Turco when defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson dived in front of him.

“I just tried to handle it a little bit,” Filppula said. “It was bouncing a little bit. I hit it a little on my backhand and I lost it.

“It went five hole. It definitely was a lot of luck. There’s nothing to say there.”

Turco, Chicago’s new No. 1 goalie, lost his second straight one-goal decision.

“It was kind of a broken play,” Turco said. “He (Filppula) was coming in and he did whiff on it.

“Our defenseman slid and I made the assumption it was going to get stuck underneath him.

That’s my mistake.”

And Scott’s blowout at the blue line? The 6-foot-7 defenseman said he simply fell. Filppula provided a reason why.

“The ice was a bit soft there,” Filppula said. “I think he just hit a rut or something. I had a lot of

speed.”

Todd Bertuzzi had a goal and assist for the Red Wings (2-0).

Brent Seabrook and Bryan Bickell scored for the Blackhawks (0-1-1), who fell to their Central Division archrival in their home opener.

“There is no hiding from teams like that, and we want to take them on head-on and prove ourselves against them,” Chicago captain Jonathan Toews said.

“We played well in some instances, but I’m still disappointed we couldn’t beat them in our own building.”

The Blackhawks commemorated their first Stanley Cup title since 1961, and fourth in team history, with a 30-minute, pregame banner-raising ceremony.

Brett Flashnick / The Associated Press

South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore dives through the Alabama defensive line for a touchdown in the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium, in Columbia, S.C. The Gamecocks beat the Crimson Tide 35-21.

South Carolina takes out No. 1 Alabama The Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. — After delivering South Carolina’s biggest win ever, all coach Steve Spurrier could do was smile.

“I think that this game was meant to be,” he said.

The way the Gamecocks played, it sure seemed like it.

Stephen Garcia threw three touchdown passes, two to Alshon Jeffrey, and Marcus Lattimore scored three times as 19th-ranked South Carolina stunned No. 1 Alabama 35-21 on Saturday.

Never before had the Gamecocks beaten a team ranked No. 1 — at least not in football. So Spurrier had plenty of reason to bask in one of the biggest victories of his illustrious career.

When Spurrier arrived at South Carolina (4-1, 2-1) from the Washington Redskins, expectations in Columbia soared. He had dominated the SEC and led Florida to a national championship in 1996 before trying out the NFL. South Carolina has been solid under Spurrier, but still hasn’t won the SEC East — and never really has come close. This bunch of Gamecocks might be able to change that with a winning mix of dynamic skill players and dominating defenders that could keep them in the title chase all season.

“I said ‘Fellas, if fate means for us to win this game Saturday then lets give it a chance. Lets give fate a chance to happen,’ ” Spurrier said.

The defending national champions had won 19 straight games — including last week’s 31-6 rout of Florida — since losing the Sugar Bowl to Utah after the 2008 season.

But facing a third consecutive ranked SEC team caught up with Alabama as Garcia and the Gamecocks used the Crimson Tide’s formula for success: Cashing in on chances close to the goal line and limiting the country’s best tailback duo in Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson to 64 yards.

South Carolina shredded the country’s top-rated scoring defense, putting up the most points on Alabama (5-1, 2-1) since a 4134 loss to LSU in 2007. The Gamecocks scored four touchdowns when they got inside the ’Bama 20 — double what the Crimson Tide had allowed coming in.

“It’s not like we just lost. They beat us,” said Alabama coach Nick Saban, now 1-3 against Spurrier. “They outexecuted us. They played better than we played. They played with more intensity. They played physical.”

Saban wants the Tide to remember this should they run into the Gamecocks for the SEC championship game.

“I actually talked to (Greg) McElroy after the game and he said, ‘We’ll see you all again,’ ” said Garcia, who was pulled from South Carolina’s last game, a 3527 loss at Auburn, after fumbling twice.

Alabama tried to rally back as it had against Arkansas two games ago, this time cutting South Carolina’s 21-3 lead to 2821 with most of the fourth quarter left.

The Crimson Tide’s charge came courtesy of an odd safety

by Garcia — Spurrier threw his notes about 5 yards onto the field when his quarterback grabbed a wayward shotgun snap and flung it through his own end zone from about the 2 — a field goal and a

51-yard touchdown catch by Darius Hanks.

Alabama’s last chance to tighten things came at the start of the fourth quarter when Jeffery, the SEC’s leading receiver, bobbled a catch into the hands of Tide defensive back Will Lowery for an interception.

But McElroy was sacked for a 7-yard loss by Stephon Gilmore and Saban called a fake field goal that didn’t come close to working as defensive lineman Ed Stinson dropped the throw from holder A.J. McCarron.

South Carolina answered with a 75-yard drive, capped by Lattimore’s 2-yard score with 7:01 left that put the game away.

In other games on Saturday: No. 2 Ohio State . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38 Indiana . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Terrelle Pryor is healthy, all right. A week after leaving a win at Illinois with a strained muscle in his left thigh, he threw for a career-best 334 yards and three touchdowns to lead Ohio State. The junior’s big day gave coach Jim Tressel his 100th victory on the Buckeyes’ sideline.

No. 4 Boise State . . . . . . . . . . . . 57 Toledo. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14 BOISE, Idaho — Jeremy Avery ran for three touchdowns, Kellen Moore passed for three more and the defense forced four turnovers to lift Boise State to an easy victory over Toledo. Moore and the rest of the offense were clicking from the start, scoring on five of their first seven possessions to put the game out of reach early.

No. 5 TCU . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 45 Wyoming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 FORT WORTH, Texas — Andy Dalton threw for a season-high 270 yards and three touchdowns a week after his worst game of the season, and TCU recorded consecutive shutouts for the first time in 55 years. Dalton was 14 of 17 and surpassed last week’s passing total on the first play of the second quarter, a 31-yard strike to Bart Johnson that put the Horned Frogs (6-0, 2-0 Mountain West) ahead 21-0.

No. 8 Auburn . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 Kentucky . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Cam Newton drove Auburn into position for Wes Byrum’s 24-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Tigers past Kentucky. Newton ran for a career-high 198 yards and four touchdowns and deftly guided the Tigers (6-0, 30 Southeastern Conference) 88 yards in the final 7:22 after the Wildcats had tied it at 34.

OSU knocks off No. 9 Arizona Ryan Katz throws for 393 yards as the Beavers pull off the upset in the desert The Associated Press

John Miller / The Associated Press

Oregon States’ Brandon Hardin (17) tries to catch a pass intended for Arizona’s Richard Morrison (14) during the second half of Saturday’s game at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Ariz., Saturday. Oregon State won 29-27. ing knee injury in the second quarter. He was in street clothes on crutches in the second half after seven catches for 102 yards, including a 33-yarder for the Beavers’ first score. Riley said the injury was “not good” and he would know more today.

Rodgers could get a medical redshirt because he didn’t play in the previous game because of a concussion. He made a fingertip catch of Katz’s deep pass for what would have been a 56-yard touchdown with 5:07 left in the first half. But he was hit by Arizona’s Adam Hall as he crossed into the end zone, then went down in pain. He was helped off the field with no weight on his left knee. The score was called back by an ineligible receiver penalty.

Rodgers’ younger brother, Jacquizz, rushed for 92 yards in 25 carries and caught three passes for 41 yards. His 1-yard touchdown run with 5:46 to play put the Beavers up 29-20.

Foles’ 12-yard touchdown pass to Keola Antolin cut the lead to 29-27 with 1:52 to play but Oregon State recovered the subsequent onside kick attempt. Arizona got the ball on its own 20 with 2 seconds left and tried to use a short

pass and a series of laterals to score. But Antolin was stopped at midfield to finish Oregon State’s fifth consecutive victory in Tucson.

The Beavers’ Markus Wheaton caught seven passes for 113 yards. Katz, running toward the right sidelines, somehow threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Wheaton that put the Beavers up 17-7 with 9:21 left in the first half.

The Wildcats took the second-half kickoff and went 66 yards in just two minutes before Antolin scored on a 33-yard run. The point after attempt was blocked and it was 17-13.

Oregon State responded with an 11-play, 65-yard scoring drive that finished with Katz sneaking over from the 1. But Justin Kahut’s extra point try was no good, giving the Beavers a 23-13 lead. He also missed the kick after the last Oregon State touchdown.

Nic Grigsby took a swing pass from Foles and weaved through traffic 41 yards for a touchdown that cut Oregon State’s lead to 2320 with 3:20 left in the third quarter. The Beavers responded with a 10-play, 80-yard drive, culminating with Jacquizz Rodgers’ touchdown run.

Oregon holds off Washington State, 43-23 Ducks RB Barner in stable condition after scary collision

By Tim Booth The Associated Press

PULLMAN, Wash. — Every time LaMichael James took the ball, he wasn’t thinking of the end zone he so often visits.

He was thinking of his Oregon teammate Kenjon Barner and the sight of Barner being taken off the field in an ambulance.

“Every play I did, Kenjon was in my mind,” James said.

James scored three touchdowns, including an 84-yard scoring reception, and No. 3 Oregon shook Washington State in the second half for a 43-23 win on Saturday.

But this wasn’t the blowout most expected. And whether it was the lingering image of Barner being taken to the hospital following a scary collision or the improvement of Washington State, the Ducks made just enough plays to hold off the pesky Cougars.

Even for the big boys, style points count. Not that Chip Kelly’s crew is going to apologize for a 20-point victory that could elevate the Ducks to No. 2 come today.

“Why would I be No. 2?” Kelly wondered when asked about moving up following top-ranked Alabama’s loss. “I don’t care. I could care less about that.”

Oregon’s offense failed to run with the crisp perfection that blitzed Stanford a week ago and flew the Ducks past Boise State in the AP Top 25.

Whether it was enough for the Ducks to hold their spot in the polls remains to be seen. Oregon (6-0, 3-0) was a 36-point favorite, yet led just 36-23 late in the third

Dean Hare / The Associated Press

Oregon quarterback Nate Costa (7) passes to Jeff Maehl, not seen, during the third quarter of Saturday’s game against Washington State at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Wash. quarter.

Part of that could have been the scary sight of Barner laying motionless on the field in the first quarter.

Barner was flattened on a kickoff return by Washington State’s Anthony Carpenter. As Carpenter ran full speed through a block, he collided with Barner, first glancing off Barner shoulder and then colliding with his helmet.

Barner fumbled and crumpled to the turf. Trainers quickly rushed out and tended to Barner for more than 10 minutes, at one point bringing out a neck brace and backboard. But Barner eventually sat up, walked with assistance to a stretcher and was transported by ambulance to Pullman Regional Hospital where he was listed in stable condition. He is expected to stay the night in Pullman before returning to Eugene.

“I thought our guys were pretty focused after that. Injuries are part of the games and you have to deal with ’em,” Kelly said. “It’s just tough when you have injuries like that and there is an ambulance that comes on the field, but I

thought our kids did a pretty good job handling it after that.”

Barner wasn’t the only injury for the Ducks to deal with. Quarterback Darron Thomas left in the second quarter with a right shoulder injury that he said afterward he could have come back from, but was held out for precautionary reasons. Thomas tried warming up on the sideline, but Kelly decided to rest his starter.

And why not with the way Nate Costa played.

Costa led a trio of scoring drives, including his own 18-yard TD run early in the second half to give Oregon a 36-17 lead. Costa ran for 84 yards and threw for another 151 on 13 of 15 passing.

Jeff Maehl caught 10 passes for 119 yards, including a screen pass he took 34 yards for a touchdown with 11:45 left that sealed the victory.

Cliff Harris added a 67-yard punt return touchdown in the first half, his third punt return score of the season.

James finished for 136 yards on 25 carries, more than half those yards coming on two runs against

a Washington State defense giving up more than 43 per game.

“We did a lot of the same things throwing the ball, running the ball, just trying to get the ball to our playmakers,” Costa said. “For me it was just kind of like practice.

I saw all these looks in practice this week and I just carried it over.

I’m proud I played this way.”

Jeff Tuel threw for 245 yards and a touchdown and James Montgomery added a 26-yard TD run in the first half for Washington State (1-5, 0-3). A year after getting held to just 151 yards in a 52-6 loss to Oregon, the Cougars rolled up 336 on Saturday. And they had a chance in the second half to make the Ducks very uncomfortable.

Down 36-17, Washington State scored on Daniel Blackledge’s leaping 11-yard grab, getting flipped on his head as he came down. It was just the second second-half touchdown allowed by Oregon this season.

Then the Cougars got the break they needed when James fumbled after a 55-yard run. Tuel quickly drove the Cougars down to the Oregon 12, thanks largely to a 35yard fade pass to Karstetter. On first-and-10, Tuel threw into triple coverage and was intercepted by Oregon’s Casey Matthews.

“I got a little greedy, a little excited and wanted to get in the end zone,” Tuel said. “I took a shot I probably shouldn’t have. ... That hurt, that hurt big time.”

Logwone Mitz also had a 1-yard TD run for Washington State that followed Barner’s fumble and gave the Cougars an early 14-8 lead.

“They are the defending champions, are leading the league right now, may be the best team in the country,” Washington State coach Paul Wulff said. “We went out and fought and played hard and grew up in some areas.”

Sisters grad plays well, but Portland State falls The Associated Press BOZEMAN, Mont. — Sisters High graduate Cory McCaffery had a big game for Portland State, but it wasn’t enough to lift the Vikings to victory.

Montana State’s Denarius McGhee, a redshirt freshman who misfired on six of his eight firstquarter passes, rebounded by throwing for three touchdowns and rushing for another as the Bobcats beat Portland State 44-31 on Saturday.

McCaffrey ran for 153 yards

PAC - 1 0 R O U N D U P

Late field goal lifts Stanford over USC The Associated Press

By Bob Baum TUCSON, Ariz. — Add Ryan Katz to the list of impressive Pac-10 quarterbacks.

Oregon State coaches kept things somewhat conservative early in his first season as a starter, then unleashed his strong, accurate arm, along with his elusive scrambling against No. 9 Arizona.

The sophomore from Santa Monica, Calif., threw for 393 yards and two touchdowns, sneaked across for another score and the Beavers held on for a 29-27 upset.

“We knew what we had to do coming into the game and we went out there and did it,” Katz said. “I felt a lot of confidence out there, and we got the job done.”

Katz completed 30 of 42 against an Arizona defense that had been ranked No. 2 nationally, giving up 230.8 yards per game.

“I just see a lot more confidence in him,” Oregon State’s Joe Halahuni said. “He’s more of a leader off the field and in the huddle. He’s doing great running the ball, throwing it and making good decisions.”

Three times Katz eluded the pass rush and scrambled for a first down on third-down situations.

“You can’t tell a guy to scramble or not scramble, that’s all the quarterback,” Oregon State coach Mike Riley said. “He has to be comfortable and make the right decision. We really haven’t had a quarterback here who can run for a first down.”

The Wildcats (4-1, 1-1 Pac-10), in the top 10 for the first time since the 1999 preseason rankings and coming off a bye week, never led. The loss dampened their hopes for the school’s first trip to the Rose Bowl.

The Wildcats’ Nick Foles completed 35 of 46 for 440 yards and three touchdowns.

“When you look at the entire game, we just weren’t all there,” Arizona coach Mike Stoops said. “I think we did compete well in the secondary but this was the most yards we’ve given up in a long time. Oregon State really beat us in a lot of ways. They wanted to throw the ball and they threw it at will, which is very hard to come back from.”

Oregon State (3-2, 2-0) lost standout receiver James Rodgers to what could be a season-end-

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, October 10, 2010 D5

and two touchdowns on 20 carries, tallying nearly half of that yardage in the fourth quarter.

McGhee completed 13 of his last 19 passes as the Bobcats (51, 3-0 Big Sky) overcame an 18-3 deficit. He threw scoring strikes of 40 yards to Everett Gilbert and 16 yards to C.J. Palmer before running for a 4-yard TD to put Montana State ahead for good, 23-18.

Portland State (2-3, 1-1) looked as if it might send a Bobcat Stadium crowd of 15,227 — the fourthlargest in school history and

biggest for any game not involving archrival Montana — home unhappy.

After a 31-yard field goal by Zach Brown opened the scoring, Vikings junior quarterback Connor Kavanaugh hit senior tight end Julius Thomas on a 55-yard pass for an 11-0 lead.

Montana State answered with a 52-yard field goal by Jason Cunningham, but Kavanaugh raced 75 yards for a TD barely a minute later.

The Vikings made the score re-

spectable with two rushing touchdowns from McCaffrey in the final 6:11.

“To say they would score 41 unanswered points, I never would have thought that,” first-year Portland State coach Nigel Burton said. “Once they got momentum, it’s still a sell job to get these guys to believe they’re not out of the football game.”

Kavanaugh was 16 of 27 passing for 208 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings, who finished with 456 total yards.

STANFORD, Calif. — When Nate Whitaker walked on the field with 4 seconds left, his focus was entirely on the potential game-winning kick and not the missed extra point that was the difference in the game at that point.

Given a second chance after an expert drive by Andrew Luck, Whitaker atoned for his earlier miss by kicking a 30yard field goal on the final play to give No. 16 Stanford a 37-35 victory over Southern California on Saturday night.

“I knew I had to make it,” Whitaker said. “There wasn’t too much else going through (my mind) except it was my chance to redeem myself and give the team what it needed.”

Whitaker missed his earlier kick after Stanford’s final touchdown and that looked as if it could be the difference after USC took a 35-34 lead on Allen Bradford’s 3-yard run and an extra point by Joe Houston with 1:08 remaining.

That’s when Luck stepped up for Stanford (5-1, 2-1 Pac10), taking over at the 26 with 1:02 left and two timeouts.

The drive got an immediate boost when USC linebacker Chris Galippo was called for a personal foul after the first play to move the ball to the Stanford 45.

“There wasn’t a whistle,” Galippo said. “I was trying to bring him down. I saw he was in the grasp but he was still standing up and I knew every yard counted so I was trying to drive him back. At the end of the day it could have gone either way.”

Luck followed with completions to Coby Fleener and Doug Baldwin to get the ball to the USC 31. Stepfan Taylor, whose second fumble set up the go-ahead score for USC, then carried twice for 21 yards and Luck took a knee to set up Whitaker’s kick.

“I didn’t say anything after the miss and didn’t say anything before the kick,” coach Jim Harbaugh said. “I had faith in Nate. He went in and drilled it. It wasn’t even close.”

USC coach Lane Kiffin chose not to ice Whitaker, who drilled the winning kick for his 15th straight made field goal, setting off a mad

celebration on the field. It was his first career game-winner.

“I didn’t know if I would make it out from being down there,” Whitaker said. “I couldn’t breathe for too long. It felt good.”

Robert Woods caught 12 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns and Matt Barkley threw for 390 yards and the three scores for the Trojans (4-2, 1-2), who lost for the second straight week on a field goal on the final play.

USC lost 32-31 at home to Washington last week on Erik Folk’s 32-yard field goal as time expired and allowed another game-winning drive this week.

“It’s really disappointing to end two games like that,” Barkley said. “We go from the highest high to the lowest low. It’s no fun to lose.”

Also on Saturday: California . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35 UCLA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 BERKELEY, Calif. — Shane Vereen rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns, Marvin Jones scored on a 48-yard reverse, and California’s defense limited UCLA to 144 yards of offense in the Golden Bears’ victory.

Kevin Riley ran for a score and threw a short TD pass to Keenan Allen for the Bears (3-2, 1-1 Pac10), who rolled to a 28-0 halftime lead in their first game back from a bye after two straight losses.

Cal smothered UCLA’s struggling offense from the opening drive, holding the Bruins to 58 yards in the first half while snapping UCLA’s three-game winning streak.

Arizona State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 Washington . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 SEATTLE — Steven Threet passed for 288 yards and two touchdowns as Arizona State defeated Washington.

Threet fought through heavy rains most for the night to complete passes to nine different receivers in ending the Sun Devils’ three-game skid.

The Sun Devils (3-3, 1-2 Pac10) dropped six passes in the first half in the downpour, but Threet still managed to throw for more than 200 yards and two touchdowns before the intermission.

Outlaw takes fourth at Philomath

Kerr headed to final round with lead at LPGA Classic

Bulletin staff report PHILOMATH — Taylor Steele finished fourth in the boys crosscountry race at the Paul Mariman Invitational Saturday to lead the Sisters boys team in their secondto-last meet before the Sky-Em League district meet.

Steele finished the 5,000-meter course in 16 minutes and 36 seconds, 42 seconds back of Siuslaw freshman Mitchell Butler, who won the race in 15:54.

Freshman Zoe Falk paced the Sisters girls with an 11th-place finish in 20:19, her fastest 5K time this season. Siuslaw’s Raelyn Robinson won the girls race in 18:54.

The Outlaws are off until, Oct. 20, when they run at the Country Fair Classic in Veneta.

In other prep events Saturday: VOLLEYBALL Madras goes 3-1 at tourney JUNCTION CITY — The White Buffaloes won all three

Harriers Continued from D1 Going even farther back in time, Gilchrist claimed four Class B boys state championships between 1966 and 1970, and Madras won six boys A-2 or AA state meets between 1969 and 1984.

“It’s the culture of Bend, and genetically there’s something going on here,” notes Summit coach Dave Clark, whose popular program regularly includes more than 100 runners. Many of the parents of Summit runners are themselves athletes, Clark says.

Recent success stories include Fristoe’s winning effort last year at the Class 5A state championship meet in Eugene, which helped boost Summit to its second consecutive state title.

Fristoe, now a junior, currently owns the fastest 5A girls time of the season — 18 minutes, 33 seconds — a mark she recorded last weekend at Albany’s Brooks Harrier Classic. And that’s not all. Summit’s Ashley Maton, Makenna Tague and Kira Kelly have posted the third-, fourthand fifth-best 5A girls times of the season, respectively.

In 2008, Crook County’s Kellie Foley, now a senior, won the Class 5A state race in a record-setting 18 minutes, 32.5 seconds — a mark that still stands as the fastest 5A

of their pool-play matches at the Junction City tournament before falling to Douglas in bracket play. Madras topped La Pine (259, 25-8), Cascade (25-12, 25-20) and Cottage Grove (25-18, 25-10) during the morning, but lost 1625, 25-13, 15-12 to the Trojans in the tournament semifinals. Hannah Mikkelson posted another strong performance for the Buffs, recording 32 kills and 25 digs in nine games. Rachel Simmons went 42 for 42 from the service line and registered 25 digs, while Sarah Brown ended the tournament with nine aces — she went 29 of 31 from the service line — 11 kills and four blocks.

La Pine finished 0-4 in the tournament, but played a strong final match against host Junction City, falling 25-15, 27-25. After losing to Madras in their tournament opener, the Hawks lost to Cottage Grove (25-17, 25-16) and

Cascade (25-19, 25-13) in pool play before their defeat to Junction City. Jen Pautz paced the La Pine offense with 33 assists, going 28 of 30 from the service line with four aces. Carly Roderick (11 kills, four blocks and two aces), Meagan McReynolds (nine kills, four aces) and Emily Ries (seven kills, one block and one ace) all played well for the Hawks, according to coach Aaron Mallory.

Madras resumes Tri-Valley Conference play Tuesday with a road match at North Marion in Aurora, while La Pine hosts Elmira on the same day in SkyEm League action.

Outlaws play at tourney on coast SEASIDE — Reigning Class 4A state champion Sisters dropped two matches at the Seaside tournament, ending the day with a three-game loss to Tillamook in the event’s consolation-

bracket semifinals. The Outlaws split with Astoria (11-25, 27-26) and defeated Roosevelt (25-4, 25-9) but lost to Estacada (25-18, 25-17) in pool play. In the consolation bracket Sisters defeated Stayton 25-17, 25-18 but failed to advance to the finals after losing to the Cheesemakers 26-28, 25-22, 15-10. The Outlaws host Sweet Home in Sky-Em League action Tuesday.

Central Christian takes second GILCHRIST — Micah Roberts recorded nine kills and Kaylin McAfee produced seven aces from the service line to lead Central Christian to a second-place finish at the Gilchrist tournament. The White Tigers topped La Pine’s junior varsity (25-13, 25-16) and the host Grizzlies (2520, 25-21) but lost to the Madras JV, 25-21, 22-25, 15-12. Central Christian next plays at Arlington on Tuesday.

girls time ever recorded on the 5,000-meter course at Eugene’s Lane Community College.

Another reason for such success can be attributed to a philosophy shared by area coaches that focuses on fun and establishing healthy life patterns, rather than on setting new world records and, in the process, potentially running young athletes into the ground.

Look only as far as the top 10 girls finishers competing at Friday’s Oxford Classic in Bend to spot a handful of familiar names from Central Oregon prep programs: Fristoe, Foley, Mountain View’s Mikhaila Thornton, and Bend High’s Jenna Mattox.

When fun is part of the association with running, the cream will rise to the top, says Bend High coach Lisa Nye — the former Lisa Karnopp, whose long list of running accomplishments stretches from her high school career to the present.

Nye, who last week finished third in Bend’s Dirty 2nd Half half-marathon trail race, has worked over the years with Clark and Stearns.

“None of us (area coaches) have our kids run really high miles in training,” offers Stearns.

“I know other programs out there produce kids who might not do too much (running) after high school because they’re burned out,” Clark adds.

Cross-country triumphs are not exclusive to Central Oregon girls teams. Area boys have enjoyed a good measure of success as well.

Sisters senior Taylor Steele has proven himself over the years with numerous top-three finishes in 5,000-meter races, but wins have eluded him — until this season.

Steele has registered three firstplace finishes so far this season, and at last week’s Brooks meet in Albany he posted a career-best 5K time of 16:22, perhaps proof that he has yet to reach his running potential.

Redmond’s Trenton Kershner helps to keep the Panthers in the mix. At the Saxon Invitational last month in Salem, the senior raced to a time of 16:14 — a new personal record and a top-25 Class 6A time. Kershner relies on fellow Redmond senior Ryan Wilson, whose fourth-place 17:44 effort at last month’s Far East Salem Invitational helped establish the four-year cross-country veteran among the favorites to challenge for a high placing in the 6A race at next month’s state championships.

Summit sophomore Travis Neuman has managed first-, second- and third-place finishes so far this season and last week in Albany clocked a personal-best 16:03 — currently the fourth-best Class 5A time in the state.

Jake McDonald is another of

Central Oregon’s top prep crosscountry performers this season.

The Mountain View junior recently posted a season-best 17:41, good for third place at Redmond’s Far East Salem Invitational. Riley Anheluk enjoyed a breakout performance at Friday’s Oxford meet, leading the Cougar boys with a personal-best 17:42.

New to cross country is Bend High’s leading runner so far this fall, junior Daniel Ewing, a former soccer player and track athlete who, in his first year of cross-country competition, is looking to break the 18-minute mark. Ewing continues to show promise, after clocking a time of 18:13 at the Oxford Classic on Friday to match his personal best for 5K. “Success breeds success,” Mountain View’s Stearns states plainly. “And they (the studentathletes) want to be out there.”

Summit’s Clark says few things are as special as participating in the long-standing tradition of Central Oregon’s tightknit running community.

“It’s just a wonderful feeling of camaraderie,” he says.

The Associated Press PRATTVILLE, Ala. — Cristie Kerr moved into position for her third victory of the year, shooting a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead in the Navistar LPGA Classic.

Kerr, who won the LPGA State Farm Classic and LPGA Championship — by 12 strokes — in consecutive starts in June, had a 17-under 199 total on the links-style Senator layout at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Capitol Hill complex. She opened with rounds of 65 and 67.

Katherine Hull (67) and Na Yeon Choi (70) were tied for second.

Kerr had a chance for a bigger lead, but had a double bogey on the 15th and bogeyed the 18th.

“That’s golf,” Kerr said.

“Had I started out like that and finished with eight birdies, we wouldn’t be sitting here talking about it. We’ve just got to take the attitude that I had eight birdies and three bogeys, basically, and still 5 under even with the bad finish.”

After matching the course record with a 63 on Friday, Mika Miyazato shot a 71 to drop into a tie for fourth at 13 under with Se Ri Pak (67), Haeji Kang (67) and Hee Young Park (67).

Nicole Hage was amazed the Kerr was 20 under with four holes left Saturday.

“There’s only so much you can say about that,” said Hage, tied for 17th at 9 under after a 69. “She’s putting out of her mind out there. But there’s still tomorrow. Anything can happen.”

In other events on Saturday: 66 helps Slocum take lead ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Heath Slocum shot his third straight 4-under 66 to take a one-shot lead over Joe Durant and tour rookie Troy Merritt going into the final round of the new McGladrey Classic.

The second stop in the Fall Series is loaded with players simply trying to keep their cards.

Cristie Kerr watches her approach shot to the ninth hole during third-round play in the Navistar LPGA Classic golf tournament on Saturday in Prattville, Ala. Slocum doesn’t have that concern, although he would love to win for the second straight year.

O’Meara seeks first Champ win POTOMAC, Md. — Mark O’Meara, looking for his first individual victory on the Champions Tour, shot a 1-under 69 to take a two-stroke lead in the Senior Players Championship.

O’Meara, the only player in the field to break par in all three rounds, had a 5-under 205 total at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in the last of the 50-and-over tour’s five major championships.

Parry up two strokes ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — England’s John Parry’s shot a 1-under 71 at Carnoustie to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Parry, coming off his first PGA European Tour victory two weeks ago in the Vivendi Cup in France, had a 13-under 203 total. PGA champion Martin Kaymer (68) and Alvaro Quiros (68) were tied for second.

Schoolboys Continued from D1 What is familiar, however, is that Posey and Heyward are central figures on the same baseball diamond. Five years ago, they were the major players in a threegame series that determined the Georgia Class AAAA baseball championship.

“I don’t think if you asked either one of us five years ago when we were playing each other in the state championship that we’d be matched up in the NLDS in 2010,” Posey said. “That’s a pretty quick turnaround, from a high school state championship to an NLDS.” Though Heyward, 21, and Posey, 23, grew up about a threehour drive apart in Georgia — Heyward in suburban Atlanta and Posey in Leesburg, to the south — it was the only time they remember playing against each other. Heyward was a promising sophomore outfielder at Henry County High School, while Posey was a senior star for Lee County High School, where he did everything except catch.

Heyward’s team won the bestof-three series in Leesburg, 2-1.

Henry County won the final game, 16-14, when Heyward blooped a three-run single to center field.

The series ended when Henry County turned a double play with two runners aboard. Posey watched the play unfold from the on-deck circle.

“Like anybody else that was there, I wanted to get an opportunity,” Posey said.

Each of them, as might be expected, played a large role in that series. Posey pitched the opener of the series and was beaten, 21. But he helped Lee County to a 14-10 win in Game 2, hitting the

go-ahead home run in the top of the seventh inning. Heyward had blasted a 400-foot, game-tying three-run homer in the sixth inning, helping his team rally from an eight-run deficit.

“A lot of defense there,” a chuckling Heyward said of the championship game. “The series was a tough series. If you were a baseball fan, it was a lot of fun.”

It was not bad Thursday, either, when both players made their major league playoff debuts.

Heyward was zero for three with two strikeouts against Tim Lincecum, but at least he walked in the fourth inning. He was one of only three Braves to reach base.

“It was great, a lot of fun,” Heyward said of the experience.

“It was a battle the whole way through and I enjoyed it. For me, no nerves. There was a comfortable feeling. It wasn’t hard to get loose at all.”

Posey had a much greater impact Thursday. He called a flawless game as Lincecum mixed a high fastball, a devastating changeup and a slider to baffle Atlanta, striking out 14 and allowing two hits. Posey also was a key figure at the plate. He singled, doubled and scored the only run of the game.

The Giants-Braves series was the last one to begin this season, with each team having three days to rest. Posey, who caught 30 of the Giants’ final 31 games, had begun to show signs of fatigue. He batted .152 over the final 12 games of the regular season.

“Buster needed some rest; obviously, it helped his legs,” Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff said, taking a good-natured dig at Posey’s speed. “He needed it more than anyone, trust me.”

Although Heyward and Posey do not know each other well, they

have kept an eye on each other since that meeting five years ago. Posey watched Heyward’s rise to being the 14th overall pick in 2007. The next year, Posey, a 50th-round pick by the Angels as a pitcher out of high school, was chosen fifth overall by the Giants out of Florida State.

Posey remembers being at Class AAA Fresno on opening day and watching on television as Heyward belted a 446-foot home run off Carlos Zambrano in his first major league plate appearance. Heyward has not disappointed much since. While playing through a sore thumb most of the season, he batted .277 with 18 homers, 72 runs batted in and a .393 on-base percentage.

In a season in which the Braves lost the All-Star infielder Martin Prado and third baseman Chipper Jones to injuries, they have needed Heyward. Meanwhile, Posey’s numbers are comparable to Heyward’s even though he was not called up until the end of May: .305 average, 18 home runs, 67 runs batted in and a .357 on-base percentage. And lest anyone underestimate the value of Posey, the Giants were 52-33 after they traded Bengie Molina and handed Posey the starting job.

“That says a lot about a kid that’s out of south Georgia,” Braves Manager Bobby Cox said of Posey. “I don’t know how we missed him.”

As the series progresses and heads to Atlanta today, that is a question that will most likely be asked again. But perhaps it is better this way, with two players each appearing capable of carrying a franchise, carving out their own paths — ones that, just like five years ago on a high school field in a small town in Georgia, are likely to keep crossing for years.

THE BULLETIN â&#x20AC;˘ SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2010

JOHN COSTA

Before you vote, think about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important

Texters ...

T

here is a mechanical quality to elections that can mask the crucial importance of one from the so-so implications of another.

For whatever reasons, we now seem to exist in a perpetual election culture dominated by incessant campaigning.

It has a numbing effect, which is very dangerous, because every once in a while, an election comes along with huge issues at stake.

And it is hard to imagine an election more important, or more loaded with significant issues and decisions, than the one for which ballots will be mailed on Friday.

Not to put too fine an edge on it, but the nation generally, and the state of Oregon particularly, are in deep trouble.

The recession, while designated as officially over, still wreaks havoc on workers, families, employers and, consequently, those who exist on taxes.

Those are government agencies and the desperate folks who depend on those services.

While the recession, by a technical definition, may be over, the recovery, by any definition, has not begun.

Oregon suffers from double digit inflation and the specter of future budgets, according to Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski, that are in the red by billions of dollars as far as the eye can see.

This is not an argument for any politician or any political party, all of which have contributed to the mess we are in.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the new reality.

And the tragic part of this election is that everyone is willing to name a villain, but no one wants to suggest a solution to match the magnitude of the problem.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply too hard and, more importantly, politically painful.

What we get are bromides like this: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is on the table.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I oppose all taxes and fees, except the little ones.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only defend â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;essentialâ&#x20AC;? services, like public safety, public education and social services.â&#x20AC;? Those, of course, eat up the general fund of the state budget.

One candidate told The Bulletin he was going to get tough and cut a donation to a cultural program in Portland, which would get us thousands of dollars down the path to a deficit now in the billions.

Another said he is all for school reform but not if it means attaching measured outcomes to teacher pay.

Another candidate said he wants to be a beacon of good thinking about state finances but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discuss his support for past tax increase measures because he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to presume to lecture the Legislature.

With all this in mind, we voters have to fill out ballots.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a process filled with political emotion, but as the saying goes, you might be entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

And here are the ones I think about â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that Republican and Democratic candidates have expressed in our interviews â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as I look forward to voting: â&#x20AC;˘ By any measurable test, our K-12 schools need a shake-up. â&#x20AC;˘ Our investment in our universities is substandard. â&#x20AC;˘ Our per capita income is very low compared with other states. â&#x20AC;˘ Our business climate is not as competitive as it could be. â&#x20AC;˘ We have too much public indebtedness. â&#x20AC;˘ Total pay and compensation of public employees needs to be reassessed.

That leaves politicians on ground they simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capable of navigating.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the land of less.

Facing what we are facing, with a government that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford itself, with a recession likely to linger a while, and with little or no borrowing capacity, the candidate who should get your vote is one of two creatures.

It is either the candidate who has the best, most humane and most effective and acceptable plan to cut $3 billion out of state government, or it is the one with the compelling argument and backbone to suggest new taxes and fees to balance that projected shortfall.

Whatever, there is going to be real pain, because for too long weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve deluded ourselves about the future without considering the present.

Unfortunately, laws intended to deal with the problem of texting while driving, a major topic at the Transportation Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Distracted Driving Summit on Sept. 21, reflect vital misunderstandings about why a cell phone combined with a moving vehicle can be so deadly and how to deal with it.

Redmond survey serves nobody

P

eople elect school board members for a whole variety of reasons. High on the list must be the belief that those elected will hire good people to run their schools. Yet in

Redmond, the school board that must hire a permanent replacement for Vicki Fleming has decided to include the public in that process in a way that could do more harm than good.

Fleming stepped down at the end of the last school year. After an unsuccessful search for a successor, the board gave former Obsidian Middle School principal Shay Mikalson a one-year contract that expires at the end of this school year. Now it must decide whether to conduct a second nationwide search or extend Mikalson’s contract, effectively making him the new permanent superintendent.

As part of that process the board has posted a three-question anonymous survey on the district’s website.

The survey asks patrons to tell board members about what they see as Mikalson’s strengths and weaknesses.

In addition, it leaves space for general comments.

The survey is a bad idea.

Perhaps most important is that “anonymous” part. It’s an invitation for those who have found reason to object to Mikalson to take potshots at him without having to be accountable for what they say. There’s no way for board members to follow up for a deeper discussion of perceived problems, and there’s no way to evalu-

ate the depth of feeling either for or against Mikalson’s management style.

Both opponents of Mikalson and his supporters can do whatever possible to stack the deck to their viewpoint, making it look more widespread than it really is.

Too, the survey leaves the public with what we hope is the mistaken impression that it, not the school board, will have the final say about Mikalson’s future. It is, after all, the board’s responsibility to hire the superintendent, and it is the board that will be praised if the hire works out and criticized if it doesn’t.

We do believe the board should involve the public in the hiring process, however. It should hold public discussions about its thinking at its regular meetings, maybe even at special ones.

It should allow members of the public to freely express their feelings about who and what they want in a district superintendent, and the public should take them up on the invitation.

That’s the sort of public involvement that can be useful in the weeks ahead. An anonymous survey is not.

Cape wind project OK’d at long last I

f you’ve heard of the Cape Wind power-generating project, chances are you’ve heard of it in connection with the Kennedy family. What is likely to be the nation’s first offshore wind farm will be visible from the Kennedy family compound on Cape Cod. Notoriety aside, the project is worth paying attention to for another reason.

Wind power, like solar power, is woefully expensive all by itself. But throw in the costs and delays of burdensome regulations that apply to all projects touched by Uncle Sam, and watch the delays and zeros multiply.

On Wednesday U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar signed the lease that will allow Cape Wind to begin construction on the 130-turbine project five miles off the Massachusetts coastline. The final cost of the project is expected to be $1 billion, but it could have been lower. It could have, that is, if it hadn’t had to spend nine years and $45 million simply to get the permits necessary to bring the project to life.

The process took so long and cost so much in part because some of the Kennedys and others who will be able to see the completed project objected to having their views spoiled. The company was required to appear before numerous city councils, to fight off congressional attempts to stop it and to create at least two environmental impact statements. Attempts to stop it in court led all the way to the Massachusetts Supreme Court, and it had to fight off two late attempts by Indian tribes to have the area given cultural heritage status, which would have stopped the project in its tracks.

There’s a lesson in all this. Americans want clean, renewable energy sources. They do, that is, unless those sources spoil the view or make too much noise or otherwise interfere with their enjoyment of life. As long as that is the case, they’re likely to fight and fight hard to get wind farms and solar farms and, someday no doubt, geothermal farms, moved elsewhere. That’s expensive, and in the end it will drive the cost of green power even further into the stratosphere.

My Nickel’s Worth Conger for House In her speeches and commercials, Judy Stiegler says that she is fighting against “Portland politicians” and “Portland liberals.” It appears that she has no problem taking help from those same “Portland liberals” who voted those “Portland politicians” into office by having the Portland/Eugene-based Bus Project help her stump for office.

Given Stiegler’s voting record in favor of 38 out of 40 tax and fee increases and other missteps — am I to assume that her message no longer sells in Central Oregon and that she can no longer drum up local supporters so she has to bus in liberal supporters? Remember, Stiegler has voted 97 percent of the time with her fellow Democrats who are some of those “Portland politicians” that she decries.

Stiegler’s reasoning in voting for Measure 66 and 67 legislation is disjointed.

Clearly, she didn’t like provisions of the bills but still voted for them. Clearly, she stands by her vote but would reconsider her position. Clearly, Stiegler lacks direction and is out of touch with her constituents’ wishes.

Jason Conger has, among many other things, a commonsense approach to lower taxes, creating new jobs through business incentives and making government work more efficiently with existing tax money. Conger will be responsive to his constituents while accomplishing these goals in an innovative and collaborative manner that benefits Central Oregon as well as the state of Oregon. There is a better option for Central Oregon. Elect Conger to represent House District 54.

Wyden’s votes In the Sept. 11 Bulletin, the campaign manager for Sen. Ron Wyden

took issue with a fact-packed column authored by Robert Perry (Sept. 3).

He disagreed with Perry’s statement that Wyden “voted ‘yes’ to give illegal aliens full Social Security benefits.”

A closer examination indicates how absolute truth can be illusive. Wyden didn’t exactly vote “yes” or “no.” What he did during the process leading up to the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (2006) was to vote to “table” (i.e. “reject”) an amendment denying Social Security “credit” for income earned while an illegal alien was using fraudulently obtained Social Security numbers (Source: www .snopes.com/politics/immigration/ socialsecurity.asp).

This is hardly a “no” vote on the entire matter. Wyden’s apparent favoritism toward illegal aliens is very apparent by his action to “table” this commonsense, totally justified amendment.

Furthermore, Wyden voted against SA 4214 strengthening our southern border and against SA 4202 — a bill to help drug enforcement efforts along our southern border. In 1997 Wyden voted “no” on limiting welfare for illegal immigrants.

Just this year he voted in favor of funding the federal government’s lawsuit against Arizona (H.R. 4213, Vote #214).

Concerned voters have to ask this question: Who does Wyden think he represents by ignoring the wishes of the majority of Oregonians? Is it labor unions contributing to his campaign coffers or people illegally crossing our borders?

It’s a certainty that Wyden does not represent my views and values. It’s time for a change! November is right around the corner. My vote will be for Jim Huffman.

Donna McDonnell Sunriver

Vote for Huffman It’s harvest season in more ways than one. It’s time to evaluate the performance of the crop of politicians voters have allowed to take root in Washington and determine who has borne the quality of legislative fruit we expect.

I and millions of Americans like me expect our borders to be protected from illegal entry.

I have no problem with extending the rights and privileges of American citizenship to those who accept the responsibilities as well.

Sen. Ron Wyden voted twice to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants.

Wyden voted to allow illegal immigrants to claim Social Security benefits.

Wyden voted to allow government funding to “sanctuary cities.”

Wyden voted to deny funding for border protection by the National Guard.

Wyden voted against Arizona’s right to enforce immigration laws by allowing Justice Department funds to be used in the lawsuit against the state.

Jim Huffman has pledged to provide funding for border security and an employment verification system to help employers assure those they hire are here legally.

Huffman will support legislation to take action against the creation of sanctuaries for illegal aliens and for the creation of a guest worker program.

Huffman will support allowing permanent residency leading to citizenship for those with skills needed by the U.S. economy.

Oregonians and Americans are reaping what we’ve sown. For this reason, among many, I will be voting for Huffman in November.

Jim Huffman would represent Oregon better than Ron Wyden

By Bonnie Schmidt Bulletin guest columnist

R

on Wyden’s second campaign ad makes these statements: “Wyden’s not like the rest of them. He’s different. He’s looking out for us.”

In my view, Wyden’s record does not support the statements of this campaign ad. Wyden voted in step with the Democratic I N M Y Party 96 percent of the time (Obama also voted 96 percent along party lines when he was a senator). The National Taxpayers Union rates him at 15 percent, establishing him as a “Big Spender” on tax votes. The Center for Tax Justice rates him at 80 percent, indicating his support for progressive taxation.

Wyden voted no on a $40 billion reduced federal overall spending bill in 2005 and no on paying down federal debt in 2007. He voted yes on the $60 billion stimulus package in 2008, yes on the $825 billion stimulus package in February 2009 and yes on the $192 billion stimulus in July 2009. Wyden voted no on ANWR oil drilling in 2000, 2002, 2003 and March and November of

2005, and voted yes on factoring global warming into federal project planning.

In 2009, he voted yes for the “Cash for Clunkers” program.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection rated him at 8 percent, revealing Wyden’s open-border stance. He voted yes on continuing federal funding for sanctuary cities and yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate V I E W in Social Security.

Concerning the war in Iraq, Wyden voted two times on redeploying United States troops out of Iraq (2007 and 2008). He co-sponsored a bill opposing the troop surge as well as military escalation in Iraq.

On Dec. 24, 2009, Wyden voted yes for the health care bill. Just nine months later, he is advocating for a waiver for Oregon, burdening Oregonians with another layer of bureaucracy. In a letter dated Aug. 24, Wyden writes to Bruce Goldberg of the Oregon Health Authority that “he authored section 1332 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) that makes it possible for Oregon to obtain a federal waiver and implement its own health care approach

I want someone who will vote for limited government, free markets and fiscal restraint: Ron Wyden is not that person. without an act of Congress.”

Section 1332 does not go into effect until 2017; however, Wyden has introduced legislation to amend that date to 2014. Goldberg replies to Wyden’s letter on Aug. 26, stating “I believe it would be most beneficial to the nation and federal agencies for a state of the size and demographics of Oregon to go early with an exchange. This would allow us to test a variety of the systems and policies.”

According to the Huffington Post, Wyden’s efforts are to fundamentally transform the private insurance market.

Millions of dollars will be needed to set up the exchanges. State exchanges do not foster real competition, and Oregon will be forced to double-pay if they want to cover more people for less money under a single-payer or Medicare buy-in plan.

Only a health insurer would relish states experimenting with such a plan.

(The Center for Responsive Politics records that the top five industries — 2005-

2010 Campaign Committee — giving to Wyden’s political war chest are: lawyers/ law firms, securities and investments, health professionals, real estate and hospitals/nursing homes.) An example (of the disaster about to happen in Oregon) of a state-run health insurance exchange is Massachusetts. Its insurance exchange provides limited choices at higher costs.

Also, premiums in Massachusetts increased by 6 percent more than in the rest of the country and 14 percent more for small businesses, between 2006 and 2008 (National Center for Policy Analysis).

James Thomas Flexner wrote in “Washington, The Indispensable Man” that Washington’s conviction was “that the crucial battlefields were in the minds of individual Americans. If the majority decided that they would be better off under renewed submission to the Crown, all military efforts to defeat the British would be of as little avail as trying to stop a river that was perpetually flowing.

“But, if the people became such staunch supporters of American rights that they would hold steadfast through any emergency, the British might just as well march their military might into the ocean.”

Oregonians are a week away from receiving their mail-in ballots. The majority of voters will decide whether they will be better off continuing big-government policies under the likes of Wyden, who voted 96 percent with the Washington, D.C., sanctimonious seraglio, or voters can become staunch supporters of the candidate Jim Huffman, who is schooled in and comprehends Americans’ constitutional rights.

The senator representing Oregon in Washington, D.C., for the next six years will vote on making the Bush tax cuts permanent, privatizing immigration and repealing health care.

These decisions will have far-reaching consequences for Americans for many generations to come. I want someone who will vote for limited government, free markets and fiscal restraint: Ron Wyden is not that person.

O IN MY VIEW

My Nickel’s Worth Replace Stiegler No quote better illustrates Oregon politics than Zig Ziglar’s “You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.” Every month Oregonians lose jobs because those in our Legislature siphon off badly needed investment capital with their failed economic polices. Multimillion-dollar state-run programs like BOOST and BETC are on the wrong side of job creation. These are efforts supported

by Rep. Judy Stiegler and her political colleagues to socially engineer Oregon’s economy through credits, grants and subsidies paid for by taxpayers. When bureaucrats pick winners and losers in a market economy, it is nothing more than government central planning. Layer on state-legislated regulations, mandates and land use initiatives — it’s easy to see why Oregon looks more like a Rust Belt state with high unemployment and runaway budget deficits than a thriving, vibrant economy in the Pacific Northwest.

Stiegler and her letter-writing supporters can spin or tout perceived successful legislative actions all they want, but economic results tell a far different story. Thanks to Oregon’s central planning model, this state no longer has an industrial or manufacturing base that can spearhead an economic resurgence of any kind. As we saw with Measures 66 and 67, Judy Stiegler is not the leader to guide this region to prosperity; she is a silent ideologue follower. Her voting record is straight party line and rarely represents her constituents’ views. Central Oregon needs free market leadership, not failed utopian planning models.

It’s time for change.

Roy Fullerton Bend

Wyden helps I want to offer an opinion about Sen. Ron Wyden’s work in Central Oregon.

I’ve been involved in growing the Central Oregon aviation industry.

More than most, the aviation industry is highly regulated and engaged with the federal government on a daily basis. Our issues are complex, highly technical, and arcane.

Several years ago, understanding that this industry was suddenly thriving in Central Oregon, Sen. Wyden convened a roundtable discussion with local industry leaders. That session led to another in Portland involving the statewide aviation industry and FAA leadership. Sen. Wyden has been uniquely involved in the tough, highly technical interaction that we do with the FAA on a daily basis. He has been a strong advocate and an elected representative we can rely on.

When the FAA decided the time was right to shut down our regional kit/experimental industry — represented

by Lancair and Epic Aircraft — Sen. Wyden went to battle with the agency.

This required him to tackle the problem on a variety of fronts, to stop new regulations that would have killed hundreds of aviation jobs in the area.

I’m looking at this election from one angle: who will be the most effective in advancing economic development and job creation in Central Oregon.

My personal experience with his efforts both here and in Washington,

D.C., on our industries behalf, gives me a unique and firsthand insight.

Sen. Wyden has done more for growing the Central Oregon economy than any elected official representing this area. He has my support, and he earned it.

Scott Philiben Bend

Elect DeBone There is a candidate running for Deschutes County commissioner with whom I have had the opportunity to work over the past several years. His name is Tony DeBone.

I worked for the children’s program for La Pine Park & Recreation back in the days of a lack of funding and a district run almost entirely on volunteerism and revenue based on donated pop cans. Emotions ran high and folks were exhausted trying to keep up with a growing community with growing demands.

Since then, I have joined the board of directors and have had the opportunity to work with Tony DeBone. I have had to disagree with him, agree to disagree with him, or join him in a myriad of important decisions regarding the park district and its future. He does not cower, he does not bully. He encourages dialogue and moving forward. When our board cannot agree, we agree to table the matter and research the facts further. I do not believe we have ever reconvened without a decision being made, normally unanimously, once we have all revisited the subject.

I have watched the La Pine Park and Recreation District make huge leaps and strides since Tony DeBone took the helm as the chairperson. Tony is one who listens to those around him and is not quick to simply vote his own opinion. He is truly a strong leader.

Sheila O’Malley La Pine

Vote for Conger I want a representative, not a surrogate, in Salem.

A representative has the right to know my needs and interests. He suggests to me ways to accomplish those. I then charge my representative to implement those decisions in Salem.

A surrogate makes decisions for me, as if I was not awake, alive, or in possession of all my reasonable faculties.

Bend has suffered long enough under surrogate thinking.

One simple example: I need to not spend more than I make. I cannot go thousands, tens of thousands or more in debt. To do so is wrong, risks my family, negatively impacts my neighborhood, my bank, my city. I need a

representative in Salem who will not spend more than the revenue the government currently has in its possession.

To do so is wrong, risks the health of the state economy, negatively impacts businesses, citizens, schools, hospitals, roads and services.

We need a representative. I have spoken with Jason Conger, and he has suggested ways to be my representative, not my surrogate, in Salem. I encourage you to vote for Jason Conger, and for all candidates who will represent us well.

Timothy Sternberg Bend

Return Wyden No local, state or federal official has done more to advance Central Oregon recreation and economic development than Sen. Ron Wyden.

Four years ago, Sen. Wyden asked a group of local leaders to put together an agenda for improving the recreation assets of the region. Assets which economists are now telling us are our single most important advantage in the competition for new business locations to our area.

As a result of that effort, we’re now talking about connecting Bend to Sunriver and Bend to Sisters via back road, paved routes. We’ve launched the “Three Sisters Scenic Bikeway,” showcasing the best riding in our region. Redmond is pursuing the idea of a North Unit Canal Trail connecting them to Smith Rock via back country bike path.

Not only is the scenic bikeway a great project, it’s also the first time I can remember that people in Sisters, Bend, Redmond, and south county have pulled together toward a common purpose — to improve our county. To my mind, that’s leadership — growing real involvement by local people to accomplish good things.

Sen. Wyden is bringing people of all stripes, parties and ideologies into the work of improving Central Oregon for the good. Please support him on Election Day. Cheryl Howard Bend

Wyden’s claims A recent Wyden TV ad rehashes the very same attacks listed on the coyly named Democrat website www .meetjimhuffman.com. Wyden claims Huffman would privatize Social Security, supported the Wall Street bailouts, and defended executive bonuses.

Let’s look at their own sources for the facts.

Mr. Huffman signed a Cato Institute petition stating: “We support giving workers the option of shifting all or part of their Social Security taxes into

individually owned, privately invested accounts.” The option of leaving your Social Security retirement “safely” in government hands remains intact, just as Wyden would have it. It’s about offering people a choice.

On bailouts, this is the text Wyden referenced in his ad: “At the national level, Huffman is at odds with Wyden and Democrats on key economic issues. He believes the bailouts of the auto industry and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were mistakes, although he concedes that the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which bailed out private financial institutions, is defensible in light of them repaying much of the money.” That’s what Wyden calls support for bailouts?

Mr. Huffman takes no issue with the outrage over executive bonuses. He merely observed that the Constitution prohibits legislatively imposing penalties on particular individuals, which is exactly what members of Congress and Sen. Wyden wrongly proposed to do.

Nice try, Mr. Wyden. If you are going to blatantly misrepresent your opponent’s positions, man up and do it face to face. Debate Huffman before the ballots go out Oct. 15, not after they are already being returned.

Roger Dressier Bend

Get rid of Wyden Electing a senator is a bit like buying a new car — your choice can haunt you for six years. Last time, I voted to keep Ron Wyden in the Senate. This time, I am voting for Jim Huffman.

Why? I value Oregon’s tradition of maverick senators, whose votes often deviated from their party’s legislative agenda on the basis of conscience and on what they believed was in the best interest of their state. I believed Sen. Wyden had a touch of maverick and could rise above partisan politics, but that has proven to be a mirage when it really counts.

I am deeply saddened that he has turned out to be just another cog in the wheel of machine politics, even abandoning his own good ideas on the altar of enforced party unity. What greater evidence of this can there be than the backtrack on “Obamacare” — which Sen. Wyden voted for, but candidate Wyden now wants to exempt the state he represents from some of its key components.

This November, we have the opportunity to send to Washington, D.C., a good man, Jim Huffman, who lives here and understands the needs of this state and its people — including restoring fiscal responsibility.

Help Deschutes Land Trust preserve habitat

By Win Francis and John Casey Bulletin guest columnists

F

ifty years ago, before the dams were built on the Deschutes River, salmon and steelhead swam many of our local streams and rivers.

The most productive area within the entire upper Deschutes basin for wild, ocean-going steelhead was Whychus Creek. After the dams were built, the streams above the dams which flow through Sisters and Prineville from the high mountains, were devoid of these great animals.

Thanks to an unprec- I N M Y edented investment by Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, these legendary fish are once again able to pass through the dams and access the upper Deschutes and its tributaries. However, engineering feats to get the fish up and over the dam are only one step in the process and won’t complete the job of bringing the salmon and steelhead home to the waters in Central Oregon. Fish above the dams need cold, clean water running through meandering, well-vegetated small streams to spawn, nurture, and shelter the young hatchlings.

Today, the best hope for an increased, successful run of wild steelhead is once again on Whychus Creek.

The Deschutes Land Trust has

worked with landowners on Whychus Creek for over a dozen years, and to date has permanently conserved three properties.

The Land Trust now has an opportunity to buy a fourth property we’re calling the Whychus Canyon Preserve, located on a key stream reach between two previously conserved properties. At 450 acres and a full two miles of the creek, this rugged canyon and juniper woodland is a remarkable place. Along with the Land Trust’s earlier acquisiV I E W tions, Whychus Canyon Preserve will create the scale of habitat needed to bring the fish home. Bringing the fish home, if all goes as planned, means not only fish above the dams, but a 50 percent increase in wild steelhead in our favorite river.

With your help, the successful acquisition of Whychus Canyon Preserve by the Land Trust, would permanently protect the longest privately owned stretch of the high quality habitat that these amazing fish require. The Land Trust has the skills, experience and expertise to enhance Whychus Creek and improve its fish capacity, as well as benefit birds, native plants, and big game. Whychus Canyon Preserve would protect a key link in an important corridor that allows deer and elk

herds to move between summer ranges in the High Cascades and winter range on the desert, as well as provide the only public access to the creek between Sisters and the Crooked River National Grassland. With that access will come new opportunities for hiking and mountain bike trails.

The cost of permanently protecting Whychus Canyon is $2.9 million. With over $2.5 million already secured, we’re less than $400,000 away from our goal. These dollars will allow for not only the purchase of the land along the creek, but will help start the rehabilitation of this special place for fish, birds and our children.

We are co-chairs of the Deschutes Land Trust’s 15th Anniversary Campaign because we believe in making a strong statement about a positive vision for the future. It’s a vision of large numbers of wild, sustainable runs of salmon and steelhead, community forests, cherished scenic views, clean water, wildlife habitat, walking and biking trails and sustainable jobs. If this is your vision of the future, we ask that you strongly support the Deschutes Land Trust’s 15th Anniversary Campaign.

Though we acknowledge that these are challenging times, the old proverb “From adversity comes opportunity” is instructive. Opportunities

like Whychus Canyon are rare. The decline in real estate values has been painful for many; however, it has also brought this key property to the market at an affordable price. This is an unprecedented opportunity and demands unprecedented efforts. There is no second chance. The funds must be raised by year end.

Since its founding in 1995, the Deschutes Land Trust has permanently protected 7,750 acres for wildlife, scenic views, trails, old growth forests, native plants, and most importantly, our local communities. The Land Trust is a stable, experienced land manager and has proven it along Whychus Creek.

While the Land Trust’s achievements of the past 15 years are notable, our aspirations for the next 15 are truly ambitious. From a protected and restored steelhead and wildlife stronghold on Whychus Creek to the 30,000 acre Skyline Community Forest — accurately called “Bend’s front yard” — protecting stunning scenic views, high quality wildlife habitat, a forest done right, and countless miles of new trails for our children, we’ll continue the work that’s so important to the future quality of life in our vibrant community and to its economic health.

Ron Wyden represents ruling class Bu Verle Mitchell Bulletin guest columnist

D

o I title this guest column, “Save us from our greed and self interest,” or “Save us from the ruling class” — those who think they know what is right and best for all of us?

My ancestors, the Eatons, fled from that when they came over on the Mayflower and signed the Mayflower Compact. They wanted to have the freedom to shape their own destiny, to flourish as human beings who had the privilege to use the gifts of their talents and abilities to pursue “life, liberty,” and, thus, “happiness!” They wanted neither someone to tell them what to do, nor someone to give them a handout and take care of them. They wanted to he able to flourish as human beings, to worship, to struggle, to test their mettle, to overcome obstacles, to be the best they could be!

The founders of our Constitution made certain those privileges were guaranteed for us when they wrote and signed both the Declaration of Independence and that most magnificent of all documents of government, the Constitution of the United States of America!

I wonder, does Sen. Ron Wyden, or for that matter most of us or our senators and representatives, know how to describe our form of government so they can preserve it? In my political science classes at Willamette University our form of government was described as “a democratic form of a constitutional federal republic.” What does that mean?

It means the people are the king, the rulers! The people have constituted, formed, agreed, voted upon, and signed this document called the Constitution, which is the guide and rule for how we live together.

It is a federal government, a government with a central headquarters which has limited centralized powers determined or “constituted” by the people, who are the rulers.

It is a republic, which means the people, the rulers, are represented by individuals elected to take care of matters of government and provide for those things the people cannot do for themselves, such as provide for the common defense of the nation.

As I see it, we are in the process of wandering far astray from a democratic form of a constitutional federal republic!

We have professional politicians, such as Wyden, who, rather than represent the people, push their own agenda, the agenda of special interest groups who give them big bucks, or the agenda of their political party.

As pointed out by Keith Chu and Keith Sime, Wyden has voted with his party 96 percent of the time. He has been our senator or representative for 30 years.

He is part of the ruling class, the Washington, D.C., inner circle.

In that period of time one can forget what he/she is there for. Are we, our community, our nation, better off now than we were 10, 20, 30 years ago? Does he truly represent the people and the best interests of our nation as a whole?

I do not think so!

Look at where we are as a nation politically, socially, economically. In the midst of what I still want to call a “repression,” both houses of Congress have given themselves raises of over $10,000 each in the last two years, to say nothing of perks and raises for all their staffs. All the while the rest of the people, the rulers have been suffering in every one of these areas.

I do not have statistical proof, but it is said that people in the public sector receive between 30 to 50 percent higher pay than people in the private sector who are doing the same kind of work. Where does their money come from? The people, but not from the people who are out of work. It is printed, fake money.

I have a very skilled friend. He has been without work for nearly a year though he is continually looking. Many who read this are in the same position or know someone who is.

I have a son in law with a high tech company whose company says he now must disrupt his family and go to work in Taiwan. I asked him why. He replied, “The company can no longer afford to compete in the world market from the U.S. because of salaries, benefits, and taxation levels.”

A person with a masters degree in electronic engineering at an entry level job receives a beginning salary of between $60,000 and $80,000 per year in America. A person with the same credentials in Taiwan receives $20,000 per year with not nearly the side benefits and perks.

We could solve all these problems fairly quickly and easily with proper leadership. It is time for a change! Save us from greed and the ruling class. Vote for Jim Huffman!

ILLUMINATING THE SUPREME COURT

Publishers Weekly ranks the bestsellers for the week ending Oct. 2.

Justice gives refreshing look inside high court

HARDCOVER FICTION 1. “Fall of Giants” by Ken Follett (Dutton) 2. “Don’t Blink” by James Patterson & Howard Roughan (Little, Brown) 3. “Freedom” by Jonathan Franzen (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) 4. “Safe Haven” by Nicholas Sparks (Grand Central) 5. “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by Stieg Larsson (Knopf)

7. “Naked Heat” by Richard Castle (Hyperion)

The United States Supreme Court likes its mystery: Cases are argued in public, briefs are available for all to read, but its real work is carried out in conferences attended by the nine justices alone. So private are those deliberations that in the rare instances when they are interrupted, it is by a knock on the door; the junior justice, by tradition, answers, is passed a note, closes the door, and then delivers the news to the brethren.

It’s thus a bit surprising — and refreshing — to have a sitting member of the court produce a book examining its work. And yet, Justice Stephen Breyer has written not one but two illuminating treatises that thoughtfully place the court in the larger context of American democracy. His latest, “Making Our Democracy Work: A Judge’s View,” extends his public ruminations with what are becoming his hallmarks: wisdom, modesty, incisiveness and a touch of naivete.

Breyer divides his book into three parts: Part 1 reviews the tentative development of judicial review, beginning with John Marshall’s genius; the court’s futility in protecting the Cherokees; the struggle over Brown vs. Board of Education and Southern resistance to the decision, culminating in President Eisenhower’s dispatch of the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Ark., to maintain order. Breyer is an engaging storyteller, presenting those episodes with a light pen, illuminating the constitutional issues deftly.

Having laid his groundwork, Breyer then turns to the meat of his argument. Part 2 looks at the craft of judging, and Part 3 revels in the court’s greatest duty, the protection of individual liberty.

Originalism

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has written a book about the inner workings of the nation’s highest court, “Making Our Democracy Work: A Judge’s View.”

security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Does that suggest an unfettered, individual right? Should the mentally ill be able to buy arms? Convicts? And did the Framers envision developments in firepower?

Is it only the right to own a musket that’s protected? How about a bazooka? A machine gun? A nuclear weapon?

Breyer presents his material deftly, puncturing Scalia’s philosophy without ever engaging Scalia directly. He resolves it most eloquently by relying on the words of the late Justice Robert Jackson, an ardent advocate of judicial restraint and the best writer to sit on the Supreme Court. “Just what our forefathers did envision or would have envisioned had they foreseen modern conditions,” Jackson wrote and Breyer recalls, “must be divined from materials almost as enigmatic as the dreams Joseph was called upon to interpret for Pharaoh.”

Practical and gentle, Breyer stands in stark contrast to his more voluble counterpart, Justice Antonin Scalia, who is never named in “Making Our Democracy Work” and yet whose presence and philosophy run through this book. Breyer’s most pointed passages turn on his cutting dissection of originalism, the fauxphilosophy that Scalia affects to justify his decisions.

As Breyer writes: “Originalists hope that judges will find answers to difficult constitutional questions by proceeding objectively, almost mechanically, to examine past historical fact.”

Easily said, not so easily done.

To begin, there’s the problem of context. When the framers banned “cruel and unusual punishment,” they had no intention of banning flogging, which was practiced in their day. Should the Finding ‘purpose’ court today uphold flogging, or If Breyer’s analysis is penetratshould it prohibit it as cruel, un- ing, however, his remedy is less usual or both?

from their illusory threat. The court’s shame was that it gave too much deference to that purpose.

That’s a small criticism and in a way a compliment, as even Breyer’s blind spots illuminate his character and animate “Making Our Democracy Work.”

Breyer genuinely is a gentleman.

He imagines himself in an important but civilized exchange of ideas. “However closely divided a controversial decision may be,” he writes, “the justices maintain good relations with one another.”

That’s frankly hard to believe, and certainly not true historically.

Justice Felix Frankfurter referred to Justices William Douglas and Hugo Black as “the Axis.” Black and Jackson loathed each other.

When Chief Justice Fred Vinson died, Frankfurter remarked that he finally had proof of the existence of God. If the court is enjoying an era of good feeling, it’s a recent one. I suspect that it says more about Breyer than the court that he imagines such goodwill.

Finally, this: Breyer is devoted to the idea of educating the public about the work of the court and its place in our constitutional scheme. His book advances that purpose with civility, but in his life as a justice, as opposed to his role as an author, he has thwarted an obvious opportunity to advance that mission. Breyer, so far, has been unwilling to support televising the Supreme Court’s public proceedings. Breyer’s thoughtful book draws readers into the court; now he should embrace a camera, so that viewers might too.

Don’t think, even for one minute, that a book written from the perspective of a 5-year-old boy won’t be riveting.

Emma Donoghue’s “Room” captures readers with a story that is so disturbing — and yet so compelling — it’s difficult to put the book down.

The narrator, Jack, exists as a testament to his mother’s fortitude.

And he exists because of their circumstances.

His mother was abducted as a 19-year-old college student and has lived the past seven years in a one-room, soundproof shed in her abductor’s backyard.

Jack is the result of her abductor’s near-daily rapes, but never has a child been more treasured by his mother. We never learn her name — she is just “Ma” to Jack — but we learn that she has made their imprisonment as full a life as possible for her son. She makes games out of flipping the mattress, reading their few books and trying to get exercise in their 11-by-11 home.

Because of the limits they en-

dure, Ma has told Jack from an early age that everything on TV is pretend. He knows nothing of the outdoors, cars, dogs or other people.

Except for their abductor, “Old Nick,” to Jack, who comes into the room most nights when Jack is hidden away in Wardrobe (their furniture equivalent of a closet). Abandon any thought of Ma and Jack overpowering him to escape; he enters and leaves by a door controlled by a keypad and code.

In “Room,” which is short-listed for this year’s Man Booker prize, Donoghue creates two compelling characters who endure circumstances we cannot imagine. Ma finally realizes she has to tell Jack the truth about the outside world if they ever want to escape their prison. This may be some of the most compelling writing in the entire book, as Jack struggles with his lifelong perceptions vs. the stories his beloved mother starts to tell him.

Of course, readers will make some comparisons to horrific real-life stories of abductions.

But read this book with an open mind and an open heart, because it will grab you and leave you thinking about it long after the last page is turned.

Los Angeles Times

William Gibson’s post-9/11 novels offer a fascinating case study in what happens when real life catches up with science fiction. Gibson has always been (to use one of his own phrases) a “coolhunter,” searching for meaning on the cultural fringe.

Back in 1982, he coined the word “cyberspace” and his “Bridge Trilogy” of the 1990s posited a dystopia in which California split into two states after a devastating earthquake.

Then, the World Trade Center came down, leaving Gibson to wrestle not with the future, but a present that had irrevocably changed.

In early 2003, he published “Pattern Recognition,” perhaps the first novel to deal directly with the destruction of the towers; the fallout from ground zero also sifts though 2007’s “Spook Country.” It’s the sci-fi equivalent of what happened to, say, John le Carre after the Cold War ended, although, like Le Carre, Gibson hasn’t so much changed as adapted, finding narratives in the chaos of the current moment along the elusive border between technology and art, control and freedom, image and reality.

Gibson’s new book, “Zero History,” is the third, and final, installment in the cycle, yet unlike its predecessors it is emotionally static, and never quite feels fully formed. Set once again in our post-millennial present, the book revolves around the search

for a cutting-edge fashion designer who has gone off the grid, but it is really about the sense of dislocation that has come to be common currency since 9/11. Here, the glittering facades of the culture don’t reveal anything beneath the surface — because nothing is there. The world Gibson does trace is one bound by branding, in which we are defined less by who we are than by what we own. Resistance, inasmuch as it is possible, is about “atemporality. About opting out of the industrialization of novelty. It’s about deeper code.”

This idea of a deeper code, a secret history, is vintage Gibson; he has long been fascinated by what he calls “nodes,” a type of social ganglia where unlikely connections may arise. One of the plotlines of “Spook Country,” in fact, featured a magazine called “Node,” which may or may not exist, and a journalist named Hollis Henry, former lead singer for the band the Curfew, who has been contracted to do investigative work.

Fragmented story Hollis is back in “Zero History,” as are the characters Milgrim, a junkie (now recovering) with an eye for detail, and Hubertus Bigend the Londonbased marketer whose global firm Blue Ant underwrites them all. If this seems a little fragmented, that’s the idea: to reflect a collective collapse where everything is up for grabs. This includes the military and the fashion business, which function as unlikely loci here. “The military, if you think about it, largely in-

Not quite right

vented branding,” Bigend tells Hollis. “The whole idea of being ‘in uniform.’ The global fashion industry is based on that.”

For Gibson, the militarization of the culture is a defining metaphor, offering exactly the kind of cognitive dissonance on which his work has often thrived. Early on, he establishes the novel’s thematic underpinnings — “the underlying design code of the twenty-first-century male street was the code of the previous mid-century’s military wear, most of it American,” he writes, referring not just to fashion but psychology — and throughout the book, he highlights the confluences: In the body armor that Bigend’s messenger Fiona wears while motorcycling through the streets of London and in the “Cartel grade” Toyota Hilux (fitted with armor, bulletproof glass and run-flat tires) in which Hollis

Yet in “Pattern Recognition” or “Spook Country,” there would have been something — some threat, some intuition — to necessitate such precautions; in “Zero History,” these elements feel rote.

Partly, I suppose, they’re an expression of paranoia. As Bigend notes, “Even the delusionally paranoid have enemies.” This time, though, the enemies don’t have a lot behind them, leaving a skein of emptiness at the book’s heart.

Even when the novel’s darker intrigues manifest, the stakes are never really high enough, nor the dangers particularly real.

Instead, it feels as if Gibson is going through the motions, as if he’s gone back to the pattern once too often, setting up a story — centered by Hollis’ efforts to find that designer — that we’ve seen before. Certainly, this is part of his intention. Both “Pattern Recognition” and “Spook Country” were driven by similarly quixotic searches. Those books, however, came with a sense of urgency, a sense that when the pieces were all gathered, some kind of coherence would emerge. In “Zero History,” that never happens.

In the end, this leaves “Zero History” oddly unfulfilling, like a facsimile or a knockoff in which the material that once felt so fresh has come to be a little worn.

Gibson may have had to improvise a new kind of science-fiction novel in the wake of 9/11, but the cultural implosion that the tragedy set in motion is now the substance of daily life. “Follow the accident. Fear the set plan,” Gibson writes late in “Zero History.”

One wishes that he had taken his own advice.

Bill Smith-Lydia Chin detective series continues “On the Line”

by S.J. Rozan (Minotaur, 336 pgs., $24.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

A successful mystery series brings a fresh look at its characters and involving plots to each novel. Edgar-winning author S.J. Rozan has done that by having two main characters — private detectives Bill Smith, a middle-aged white man, and Lydia Chin, a young Chinese American — and alternating the focus on these two business partners in each novel.

Rozan’s approach has made Bill Smith-Lydia Chin series actually two series. Those focusing on the youthful Lydia tend

to be lighter in tone, but those about the cynical Bill have more of a noir quality.

“On the Line” is definitely Bill’s story, but Rozan goes one step further in her 10th novel in this series. Not only is the focus of the excellent “On the Line” on Bill, but he’s completely alone because Lydia has been kidnapped. Bill is lost without his partner who is his main lifeline to humanity. Acting on cryptic clues that Lydia feeds him during a few brief telephone conversations, Bill has 12 hours to find her — and the kidnapper’s identity. Scouring New York City, Bill stumbles on other victims. Time is running out, and now the police suspect him of murder as do

ruthless Chinese gangsters.

Ever the loner, Bill gets help from Lydia’s cyber-savvy cousin, Linus Wong, and Lydia’s best friend, NYPD detective Mary Kee. Using mostly dialogue, Rozen develops an engrossing puzzle mystery that relies on subtle clues for its foundation. The author has often used Bill and Lydia to show how old-style detection can be enhanced by a modern approach.

The old-fashioned gumshoe Bill is out of his league as Linus uses the internet, social networking and I-phones to help find Lydia, yet Bill’s knowledge of people, past cases and his tenaciousness

is equally essential. “On the Line” delivers a new dimension to Bill as he navigates his emotions.

Rozan keeps the level of suspense high and keeps the twists realistic as the story takes the characters from midtown Manhattan to tunnels and secret buildings in Chinatown.

Rozan again proves that the private detective novel thrives in the 21st century.

F6 Sunday, October 10, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Texting Continued from F1 Texting while driving can be more dangerous than driving while swigging Jack Daniels, according to studies. In a 2009 survey, Car and Driver magazine tested two of its staffers under a variety of conditions. It found that on average, driving at 70 mph, one man braking suddenly while legally drunk (0.08 blood alcohol content) traveled 4 feet beyond his baseline performance. But reading an e-mail while driving sober, he traveled 36 feet beyond the baseline result and 70 feet while sending a text. In the worst case while texting, he traveled 319 feet before stopping.

Yet 66 percent of respondents to a 2007 Harris Interactive poll admitted they’ve texted while driving, even as 89 percent said it should be banned. And it’s the youngest drivers, who already are in far more than their share of road accidents and deaths, who do it most, according to government and insurance industry reports.

There are no reliable studies regarding deaths associated with driving and texting. But consider that in 2002, when texting was still a novelty, cell phone usage killed an estimated 2,600 Americans, according to a study by the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis. Yet texting and driving is 17 times more dangerous than just talking on a phone, according to a 2009 Virginia Tech study. And we sent about 15 times the number of messages in 2009 as we did in 2005, according to one wireless industry report.

One possible explanation for why we can’t seem to keep our paws off those tiny keyboards is that surveys show that a vast majority of American drivers believe themselves to be above average — and not just in Lake Wobegon.

Hence the belief that we need to ban thee but not me.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s idea of putting cigarettepack type warning labels on cell phones is as worthless as it sounds.

We don’t need text education. We need legal coercion. Yet 20 states still don’t ban texting and driving, and only eight plus the District of Colombia ban talking on handheld phones while driving, with Delaware joining the list in 2011.

None ban hands-free phones.

However, the mere existence of laws alone is not enough. Almost twice as many Californians in a new Automobile Club of Southern California survey say they now use cell phones while driving than admitted to doing so before it became illegal 20 months ago.

And texting laws in four states

surveyed have done nothing to reduce reported collisions, according to figures released by an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Why? Penalties are a joke and enforcement is essentially nonexistent. In Oregon, the minimum fine is $142.

Enforcement efforts are virtually nonexistent because everyone thinks it’s so difficult. Yet equipment that detects outgoing radio frequency signals is neither new nor cost-prohibitive and no more invasive than traffic control cameras, radar or radar detector spotters. But even such low-tech “equipment” as human eyeballs can work. Results from two pilot programs released Tuesday by the Department of Transportation show that. During a yearlong test, using a combination of public service announcements and programs in which officers were specifically watching out for drivers using cell phones, hand-held cell phone use while driving dropped 56 percent in Hartford, Conn., and 38 percent in Syracuse, N.Y.; texting while driving declined 68 percent and 42 percent, respectively.

“The laws are simple to enforce,” said Jennifer Smith, president of Focus Driven, patterned after the highly effective Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Yet none of this will have any effect if we don’t recognize that the specific cause of the distraction “isn’t your hands or eyes but your head,” as University of Illinois cognitive scientist Daniel Simons puts it. “Texting requires you to take your mind off the road.” Indeed, hands-free phones may induce a fatally false sense of complacency “if you falsely believe that you will notice what’s on the road while focusing attention on your phone or a keyboard,” Simons adds. That’s why studies repeatedly show hands-free phones to be just as dangerous as hand-helds.

But current state laws universally allow hands-free phones, except in a few places for certain categories such as teens and bus drivers. And yes, there are voiceto-text apps that allow verbal text messaging, which some promote as a safer alternative.

For now, all you can do is control your own conduct, including downloading software that automatically blocks outgoing messages while turning off alerts for incoming ones. No message is worth dying for.

Inner turmoil drives ‘Good Daughters’ “The Good Daughters”

by Joyce Maynard (William Morrow, 288 pgs., $24.99)

By Joy Tipping The Dallas Morning News

Joyce Maynard’s new novel hangs on a couple of plot twists so cliched that one might be tempted to call them gimmicks.

One of the supposed surprises will have been guessed by most readers somewhere around Page 20. The other comes as more of a shock.

But one reads Maynard for characters, not plots, and indeed, this is one of those books where nothing much seems to happen.

Even when it does — two characters unexpectedly run into one another at Woodstock, for instance — the outward activity can’t begin to match, or be as interesting as, the inner turmoil.

The author’s deft and delicate touch as she plumbs the depths of her characters’ psyches is what will keep readers pinned to the page. It’s like a conversation with friends about whose lives you crave every detail, simply because they are so dear to you.

The book centers on a New Hampshire farm family, the Planks, and their friends the Dickersons. Two of the families’ daughters, Ruth Plank and Dana Dickerson, are born on the same day in 1950, in the same hospital, becoming lifelong “birthday sisters,” as one mother puts it.

Ruth and Dana couldn’t be more different from each other or their respective families. Ruth, the artsy one, tries valiantly to please her farm-stock parents by caring about the strawberries and cows. Salt-of-the-earth Dana can’t comprehend her flighty

mom, or her wandering dad, who leaves the family for long stretches while testing get-rich-quick schemes.

The one area where the girls agree is on the wonders of Ray, Dana’s wild, mercurial brother.

Dana adores him as an older cohort; for Ruth, he’s the childhood crush she never quite outgrows.

“This is what happened when Adam met Eve, I thought,” she recalls of their first kiss, when she’s in junior high and he’s 17. “Here comes the devil.”

The Dickersons eventually move away from the Planks, but the families stay connected, and Ruth and Dana become something like deep-rooted trees: On the surface, they seem separate, sturdy, independent. Under the topsoil, they’re intertwined at the roots; you get the feeling that if one were seriously uprooted, the other would likewise topple.

Maynard’s simple language gorgeously interprets the book’s themes. Ruth, describing swimming with her dad, recalls “my father in his shorts, me in my underwear, our two pairs of shoes (his heavy boots and my Keds) lined up along the shore, side by side.” I’m surprised the publishers didn’t choose that image for the book’s cover, it’s so evocative of innocence, the parent-child connection, the past communing with the future.

When the second big denouement comes toward the end of the book, you’re likely to be surprised but not terribly so. In Maynard’s gifted hands, every sentence and step seems organic, as if she were just keenly observing these women and taking richly detailed notes on their lives.

A ‘QUEST’ CONCLUDED

Radio host writes on faith, God and ‘Spiritual Envy’

By Chuck Barney

Further reading

Contra Costa Times

SAN FRANCISCO — As a young parent-to-be, Michael Krasny found himself compelled to do something he hadn’t done in years: He dropped to his knees and prayed.

Plagued by a nagging fear of the unknown, Krasny begged God to allow his daughter to be born healthy. He did this despite having not prayed since his college days — during the Cuban Missile Crisis — and despite having deep-rooted doubts that God even existed.

“It was one of those moments when you’re overcome by a feeling of helplessness, when you’re dealing with something that’s beyond your power to shape,” he recalls.

“It’s almost something that welled up in me beyond my will.”

Krasny, the lucid host of “Forum,” KQEDFM’s popular public affairs program in Northern California, admits that such philosophical incongruities have roiled in his restless mind for years.

His provocative new memoir, “Spiritual Envy: An Agnostic’s Quest,” seeks to address them, along with the “big questions” concerning faith.

“I have often found myself yearning to have some kind of undergirding of faith in my life, and a moral code,” Krasny says. “I think a lot of people like me envy people who do have a strong faith. It can give them a purpose, a sense of order. It can give them great consolation and solace in times of grief. And it can give them peace.”

Krasny grew up in a Jewish household under the guidance of parents who were devout

Karl Mondon / Contra Costa Times

KQED radio host Michael Krasny wrote a new book, “Spiritual Envy: An Agnostic’s Quest,” which explores issues of spirituality. believers. He prayed nightly to a God he regarded as a father — and an “imaginary friend.” But during high school, he discovered the worlds of science and skepticism and began to align himself with the doubters.

“As the years progressed,” he writes, “I also saw myself as a seeker who did not want to give up believing in God.” In his role on “Forum,” Krasny is known as a thoughtful, evenhanded moderator who respects diverse opinions. He sought to bring a similar mind-set to “Spiritual Envy,” eschewing the approach taken by a spate of recent books that either proclaim God to be dead or proselytize why God is more alive than ever.

In “Spiritual Envy,” the author’s stated mission is “not to convince, but to converse.” An English professor at San Francisco State University and a literary critic, he finds much food for thought in literature, art, world events, science, films and even rock ’n’ roll.

Along the way, Krasny breaks

down the fundamental differences between agnostics and atheists, examines the prohibitions set forth in the Ten Commandments and presents a passionate case for religious tolerance.

“So many dreadful, even horrific, things have been done in the name of religion over the years,” he says. “But a lot of people forget that it also has uplifted people and led to extraordinary deeds — and that many religious people lead good, decent lives. …

What would Gandhi be without Hinduism? Malcolm X without Islam? Martin Luther King without Christianity?”

Krasny insists he makes it a point not to discount or ridicule the faith of others, even if a faith seems “outrageous or absurd” to him. Still, he cites the bitter debate over a plan to build an Islamic cultural center near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks as an indicator that religious tolerance isn’t as prevalent in America as it should be.

“I think a lot of contempt built up during the Bush years because many regarded him as a president who thought he had a direct pipeline to God,” he says.

“Unfortunately, there’s a good

An array of books in recent years have said “yes” or “no” to God. Here’s a look: • “The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason” by Sam Harris (2005, W.W. Norton, 256 pgs.)

• “God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything”

by Christopher Hitchens (2009, Twelve, 336 pgs.)

• “The God Delusion” by Richard Dawkins (2008, Mariner Books, 464 pgs.)

• “New Proofs for the Existence of God: Contributions of Contemporary Physics and Philosophy” by Robert J. Spitzer (2010, Wm. B. Eerdmans, 320 pgs.)

• “The Godless Delusion: A Catholic Challenge to Modern Atheism” by Patrick Madrid and Kenneth Hensley (2010, Our Sunday Visitor, 255 pgs.)

• “Evidence for God: 50 Arguments for Faith from the Bible, History, Philosophy, and Science” edited by Michael Licona and William A. Dembski (2010, Baker Books, 272 pgs.)

deal of (religious) polarization in our country right now. People are inflamed. In some ways, this should be more of a concern for us than political polarization.”

In his 17 years on “Forum,” Krasny has had the chance to engage with some of the foremost thinkers in virtually every discipline.

Asked whom he’d like to have on to discuss spirituality and the existence of God, he says his “dream panel” would feature noted theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, the Dalai Lama and Pope Benedict XVI. “To have them on the show would be incredibly fascinating,” he notes. “But I don’t know how bookable they would be for a local radio station.”

REGION’S SEASONAL HIRING OUTLOOK

JOHN STEARNS

Something to chew on for business

Expect temp jobs, but at ’09 levels

By David Holley The Bulletin

As retail and hospitality businesses prepare for the holiday season, sales are projected to rise about 2 percent nationally over last year, indicating there also could be an uptick in seasonal jobs.

More seasonal jobs, any jobs, would

be welcome in Central Oregon, where unemployment rates are among the state’s highest.

Kohl’s apparently will be hiring. The Bend department store wasn’t open in time for last year’s holidays, but the store’s parent company anticipates each of its locations will hire about 35 tem-

porary employees this holiday season.

Kohl’s is accepting applications online at www.kohlscareers.com.

Macy’s said it plans to hire about 65,000 temporary workers nationwide.

But while temporary holiday employment locally shouldn’t be lower than the previous couple of years, Jan Swander,

D

ogs are good business, specifically people who travel with them.

That’s the message from Robert Bennington, operations manager and coowner of Bennington Properties, which manages 175 vacation rentals in Sunriver and Caldera Springs. Of those, 60 percent are dog-friendly, and Bennington Properties goes out of its way to ensure guests and their dogs are welcomed.

But Bennington — a Central Oregon Visitors Association board member, chairman of the Sunriver Area Chamber of Commerce and member of DogPAC, a local nonprofit that seeks to maintain and expand off-leash recreation opportunities — would like to see more businesses reach out to dog owners. He believes it can help the local economy.

How good is it for his business?

In the year ended Sept. 30, people traveling with dogs generated about $1 million in rent for Bennington Properties.

That’s about a third of the year’s entire rental business.

Bennington will take his message to the Vacation Rental Managers Association conference in San Antonio next month. He will give a talk on benefits for his business of catering to travelers with dogs and discuss industry trends.

As primarily a drive-to destination, “we need to take the traveling dog owner seriously,” he said. “Having Bend and Central Oregon seen by the rest of the world as a dog-friendly place … I think is really critical” for attracting future residents and visitors.

While Bend already has seven off-leash dog parks, Bennington said features like water bowls outside stores, outdoor dining areas for pet owners, bike-rental shops with towable child carriers for dogs and perhaps guided tours for people with pets could help improve the area’s appeal to pooch-packing visitors.

Bennington Properties took note when the number of people traveling with dogs didn’t decline during the recession, as other segments did. So it sharpened its dog-market focus.

In June, at its office in the Sunriver Business Park, it opened an off-leash recreation area and self-service dog wash facility with towels, soap and brushes, and began Thursday “yappy hours” with beer and wine — all free to anyone, not just guests. When guests check in to a rental, they find a doggie gift pack with a bowl, treats, toy, dog shampoo, bandana and tag that says “I’m lost in Sunriver” with a number to call to reunite dog and owner.

Bennington points to the swanky RitzCarlton hotel chain accepting dogs and offering special dog perks as proving the market’s value and that luxury and dogs are not mutually exclusive.

Ritz-Carlton spokeswoman Vivian Deuschl said via e-mail, “We have found for many years that our affluent guests, especially at our mountain resorts, love to bring their animals. … Not all (Ritz-Carlton) hotels allow dogs. Most do, but some do not for a variety of reasons, including guests with allergies to pets, (and guests who) are afraid of dogs, or just don’t want them in the hotel. We reserve only certain rooms for guests to bring pets and they must pay a $300 cleaning fee and adhere to strict rules.”

Kreg Lindberg, associate professor in tourism and outdoor recreation at Oregon State University-Cascades Campus and DogPAC president, would like to see Bend considered among the top dogfriendly destinations on the West Coast in travel lists. That could attract more travelers from this region’s Western feeder markets, he said.

Lindberg, speaking for DogPAC, believes Central Oregon is missing an opportunity by not opening more quality, groomed and ungroomed trails in the Deschutes National Forest to cross-country skiers with dogs. He cites popular areas like Sun Valley and McCall, Idaho, and Methow Valley, Wash., that offer myriad dog-friendly trails as proof skiers with and without dogs can coexist. “All these other areas are pursuing it because it’s simply good business. We can learn from them,” he wrote in an e-mail.

“Dog-friendly nordic skiing won’t solve all of Bend’s/Central Oregon’s economic woes, of course, but does provide important opportunities,” he said.

DogPAC believes “there’s enough terrain for everybody to have good-quality experiences,” Lindberg said.

Sounds like good food for thought.

John Stearns business editor, can be reached at 541-617-7822 or at jstearns@bendbulletin.com.

a work force analyst with WorkSource Bend, also doesn’t expect hiring to be higher either. During the recession, holiday hiring happened later — in November or December, instead of October.

That may occur again this year, Swander believes.

WHY DRIVE ELECTRIC?

A trunkful of perks in Nissan’s new Leaf

pain — and its promise

By Bill Vlasic New York Times News Service

Tax credits, rebate checks, personalized home visits, government giveaways — even customer service calls from top corporate executives.

The first all-electric car from a major auto company, the Nissan Leaf, arrives at dealerships in December, but thousands of Americans are already learning that going electric can come with perks like no other car purchase.

Since McNaughton, a lawyer in Nashville, Tenn., paid his $99 deposit, he has been bombarded with government incentives — promises of a $7,500 federal tax credit, a $2,500 cash rebate from the state of Tennessee and a $3,000 homecharging unit courtesy of the Energy Department. When he had some basic questions about the Leaf, the answers came in a 40-minute telephone call from a senior manager in Nissan’s corporate planning department.

“You kind of feel like you’re one of the chosen people,” McNaughton said.

U.S. Forest Service worker Jen Laszlo, of Bend, cuts down a tree while working with other Forest Service employees on the Tumalo Flood Plain Enhancement Project west of Bend last Thursday.

In the region and elsewhere, forest experts see reasons for hope in new industry opportunities and a new generation of workers

By Mary Williams Walsh

By Ed Merriman • The Bulletin

New York Times News Service

imber loomed as large as Paul Bunyan at the peak of Oregon’s timber industry in 1968, when 523 lumber mills operated across the state. Today, just 111 remain open, and most logging involves forest health and fire mitigation, like the Tumalo Flood Plain Enhancement project under way west of Bend.

In Central Oregon, where unemployment rates have hovered in the teens for more than a year, the number of lumber mills has declined from 36 in 1985 to seven.

Gary Lettman, chief economist with the Oregon Department of Forestry, said only two are operating in the region: the Warm Springs Forest Products Industries mill, which is supplied with timber from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, and the Interfor Pacific mill in Gilchrist.

“I don’t have a single board plant or lumber mill listed as operating in Prineville anymore,” Lettman said.

In all of Eastern Oregon, from the crest of the Cascades to the Idaho border, Lettman said the number of mills

that produce lumber, plywood, paper and other wood products plummeted from 64 in 1985 to 14 today.

He said the mill closures were triggered over the years by a variety of factors, including recessions, environmental lawsuits, endangered species listings and changes in government forest practices. Those factors drastically reduced timber harvests on federal and state lands, which in turn put pressure on private lands to supply the mills until the private forests were overcut.

Because of those factors, Oregon recorded one of the lowest timber harvests in history in 2009, just more than 2.748 billion board feet.

See Timber / G5

Costs of care for world’s elderly worry countries, analysts alike

“A lot of the mill sites ... have the potential to be put back into production of biomass, and eventually into lumber production.

The pieces are all there. It’s the financing and predictable supply that is the problem.”

— Linc Cannon, Oregon Forest Industries Council

Credit analysts at Standard & Poor’s have reported that the cost of caring for the world’s aging populations would be “on an explosive path” and could swamp the budgets of many countries in the next 40 years unless governments accelerated belt-tightening efforts that are already proving highly unpopular.

Demographers have long known that more than 1 billion people would reach retirement age by 2050. Standard & Poor’s new research, published Friday morning in London, tried to predict how their mass departure from the work force and increasing frailty would affect their nations’ economies and their governments’ ability to borrow. The agency looked at the economies of 49 countries, which it said accounted for about twothirds of the world’s population.

The research comes not long after several countries in Europe found themselves shut out of the credit markets as lenders balked at the daunting cost of their government-paid retirement programs. If governments lose their ability to borrow, they cannot function, and a crisis ensues.

Recovery’s not in Vegas’ cards, yet Sin City faces its deepest slide since the 1940s

By Adam Nagourney New York Times News Service

LAS VEGAS — There are many cities across the country that are beginning to see the first glimpses of the end of the recession.

This is not one of them.

The nation’s gambling capital is staggering under a confluence of economic forces that has sent Las Vegas into what officials describe as its deepest economic rut since casinos first began rising in the desert here in the 1940s.

Even as city leaders remain hopeful that gambling revenues will rebound with the nation’s economy, experts project that it will not be enough to make up for an even deeper realignment that has taken place in the course of this recession: the collapse of the construction industry, which was the other economic pillar of the city and the state.

Unemployment in Nevada is now 14.4 percent, the highest in the nation and a stark contrast to the 3.8 percent unemployment rate here just 10 years ago; in Las Vegas, it is 14.7 percent.

August was the 44th consecutive month in which Nevada led the nation in housing foreclosures.

The Plaza Hotel and Casino, which is downtown, recently announced that it was laying off 400 workers and closing its hotel and parts of its casino for eventual renovation, the latest highprofile hit to a city that has seen a steady parade of them.

“It’s been in bad shape before, but not this bad,” said David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

“If you look at the gaming revenues, they have declined and continue to decline over the past three years.

“Sept. 11 set off a two-year slowdown,” Schwartz said, “but nothing of this magnitude.”

Mayor Oscar Goodman said in a recent interview that he was “very bullish on our future,” offering as evidence the packed airplanes he encountered both ways on a recent trip east to appear on “The Colbert Report.”

Gambling woes But, Goodman added: “Our daily room rate average is not what it was. Our hotel room rates are bargains now. People aren’t spending on gambling as they have in the past. Ordinarily Las Vegas was the last to go into a recession and the first to come out. This one is different.

As soon as they feel secure in their financial position, then Las Vegas will come back stronger than ever.”

The drop in the city’s gambling revenues, at first glance, tracks historical trends: Americans cut back on recreational travel and gambling during a recession. There are some

Replicas of the iconic welcome sign at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Confidence that the return of tourists alone might spur the city to rebound automatically after this recession — the way it did after recessions in the 1980s and ’90s — is absent.

“People aren’t A project gone sour spending on gambling And in the midst of all of this, as they have in the standing as a prime symbol of Las Vegas’ taste for extravagant risk past. Ordinarily Las — or perhaps of a fateful misreadVegas was the last to ing of a changing landscape — is a huge new “urban community” go into a recession CityCenter, which opened and the first to come called next to the Bellagio on the Strip.

Built by MGM Resorts and the out. This one is government of Dubai, CityCenter different.” is the largest privately financed — Mayor Oscar Goodman signs that gambling revenues, which are down to 2004 levels, have at least stabilized. After months of precipitous decline, revenues increased 3 percent in the first quarter of 2010, but then dropped 5 percent in the second quarter, according to the Center for Gaming Research.

“I think we are bumping along the bottom,” said Stephen Brown, the director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, which has been tracking the downturn.

“Expectations are that once the U.S. economy turns around, the gaming industry will begin to improve.”

What is worrisome now is the nature of this economic downturn, when many people saw the value of their retirement funds or homes collapse. Economists say people are less likely to gamble as freely as they have in the past, particularly baby boomers, who may now be rattled about their retirement years. In one sign of this, while there were more people coming to Las Vegas in recent months, gambling receipts have remained stagnant.

Gambling by Nevadans — itself a steady and critical stream of revenue — has also fallen off as a result of high unemployment, and analysts see no obvious way to turn that around anytime soon.

“Although gaming dropped with this economy, don’t automatically assume that when the economy comes back people will start gaming at the same level,” said Keith Foley, a senior vice president at Moody’s Investors Service who tracks the industry. “We put this in the grand scheme of things. This is a highly discretionary form of spending. People lost their savings.”

construction project in U.S. history. It is an $8.5 billion labyrinth of hotels, retail malls, meeting rooms, auditoriums, spas and a casino spread across 76 acres with 16 million square feet of floor space. Steel and glass, a crush of buildings often rising at discordant angles, it is an arresting display of a new style of architecture and urban planning that has not been seen in Las Vegas before.

CityCenter was conceived before the economic downtown and did not open until last December, an unfortunate turn of timing that dropped 5,000 new hotel rooms into the city when some of the older properties had been struggling to bring people in.

would legalize Internet gambling.

Brown said he was hopeful that online gambling would not draw people away from Las Vegas because “Internet gambling appeals more to addicted gamblers than people who are seeking a casino experience.”

But Nevada’s Sen. Harry Reid, the U.S. Senate majority leader who is in the middle of a bruising re-election fight, said he would oppose such a move because it would hurt the state’s tourism industry and cost jobs.

And Billy Vassiliadis, the chief executive of the advertising agency that represents the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, said, “People are looking at mall visits and online shopping and saying, ‘Yeah, that could be a problem.’”

The potential challenge from the Internet is a reminder of just how much the playing field has changed for Las Vegas over the past generation: with states sponsoring weekly lotteries and legalized gambling permitted in many cities and Indian reservations.

In what may be no better sign of this city’s concern, Vassiliadis said officials were thinking of tweaking its iconic advertising slogan “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” to better appeal to a country that may not be in a big-spending, “let’s party” state of mind.

The downturn in gambling is just one big part of the economic malaise. Nevada is paying a price for an exuberant and often speculative run of commercial and residential construction that has left the market glutted.

“There was a time 25 years ago that if tourism rebounded, the state rebounded,” Vassiliadis said.

“That isn’t the case anymore. The other side of the economy here is going to be harder. There needs to be some real, thoughtful, deliberate effort to rebuild an economy here. It isn’t going to happen by itself.”

Internet competitors At the same time, officials here are watching another potentially disruptive storm on the horizon: legislation in Congress that

Hiring Continued from G1 Part of the reason Swander predicts seasonal hiring to be flat with last year is because the recession has tightened pocketbooks and spending is down.

Also, Swander said many retailers already have reduced current employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing (employers are) going to do is bring their hours up,â&#x20AC;? Swander said.

She expects temporary employment growth to be similar to the 2009 holiday season, when retail added about 260 jobs in Deschutes County, and leisure and

hospitality added about 400.

Sarah Laufer, CEO and cofounder of Play Outdoors, has recently hired employees, but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t temporary. Play Outdoors is an online and retail store that sells outdoor equipment and clothing for children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lucky for us, we are experiencing great growth and are able to keep these new employees,â&#x20AC;?

Laufer wrote in an e-mail.

Other local retailers, like Desperado Couture, a Western-themed boutique in the Old Mill District, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hiring seasonal employees but will accept rĂŠsumĂŠs.

Most hotels and other lodging properties arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hiring any sea-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted an electric car for 10 years, but I never expected it to make this much economic sense to get one.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ken Muir, San Jose, Calif.

Electric Continued from G1 Precisely. It is all part of an unprecedented effort by federal, state and local governments to stimulate demand for cars that have zero tailpipe emissions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pre-emptive bid to corner the all-electric market much the way that Toyota dominated the early hybrid market with the Prius.

The government subsidies are shaving thousands of dollars off the Leafâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $32,780 sticker price, while other benefits are piling up, like free parking in some cities and the use of express lanes on highways usually reserved for cars with multiple passengers. In Tennessee, where a Leaf assembly plant is being built, Leaf drivers will be able to charge their vehicles free at public charging stations on 425 miles of freeways that connect Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost shocking how many subsidies are available on the Leaf,â&#x20AC;? said Jeremy Anwyl, chief executive of the auto research website Edmunds.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are putting a lot of money behind this technology.â&#x20AC;?

Nissan expects the typical Leaf buyer to fit a highly desirable demographic: affluent, college-educated consumers in their mid-40s who are both environmentally sensitive and willing to take a chance that electric technology will be as safe and reliable as internal combustion engines.

Better still, about 85 percent of the people who have reserved a Leaf do not currently own a Nissan, giving the brand exposure to a new audience. Interest in the car has been so great that the company has stopped taking reservations for the initial production run â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Leaf is being built in Japan, with assembly at the new plant in Tennessee beginning in 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Nissan has plans to sell as many as 500,000 electric cars worldwide by 2013.

The Obama administration has made electric vehicles a centerpiece of its drive to reduce the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliance on oil and is pumping up subsidies with a goal of getting 1 million electric cars on the road by 2015. Proponents of electric cars also point to their zero tailpipe emissions, although the electricity to charge the cars creates emissions.

The first Leafs go on sale in December in five states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Oregon, California, Washington, Arizona and Tennessee â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of which are places where the EV Project is building charging stations.

Thus far the only electric cars available in the United States are made by small companies, like Tesla Motors, and are prohibitively expensive for most buyers (the Tesla Roadster is priced at more than $100,000). Other automakers are in various stages of introducing electric vehicles, and General Motors is preparing to bring out the Chevrolet Volt, a $41,000 model that runs on electricity but is not all-electric because it has a gas engine to extend its driving range.

So for now, at least, the Leaf has center stage pretty much to itself. To that end, Nissan is dedicating extensive resources to the introduction and is taking consumer outreach to new lengths.

Nissan has studied potential buyers in focus groups, on Internet dialogues and at Leaf â&#x20AC;&#x153;tour stopsâ&#x20AC;? at shopping malls. Nissan has even hired a firm to make â&#x20AC;&#x153;home visitsâ&#x20AC;? to prospective buyers to make sure their garages are properly equipped for charging the vehicle and to answer other questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people are the visionaries who see the opportunity and want to be a part of it,â&#x20AC;? Trisha Jung, chief marketing manager for the Leaf, said of the cus-

&ODPVSBHJOH FMFDUSJD To persuade people to buy electric cars, federal, state and even city governments are offering tax breaks. Those available for the Nissan Leaf are fairly typical.

FEDERAL TAX BREAKS Income-tax credit $7,500 Income-tax credit on purchase of Nissan-supplied electric charger $2,000 Free charging units for 5,700 Leaf buyers to participate in study of electric-car use $3,000 FTUJNBUFE

tomers who had reserved a Leaf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will be demonstrating every day that this is a practical technology.â&#x20AC;?

McNaughton, the Nashville lawyer, said he was unaware that he had even applied for a free 220-volt charging station for his home. But by filling out a questionnaire, he was selected to be one of 5,700 new Leaf owners to get the charging unit. In exchange, he agreed to let the EV Project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $230 million national program financed by various government agencies, utilities and corporations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; monitor his battery-charging habits for a period of years.

Ken Muir, an engineer in San Jose, Calif., had a similar surprise when he first saw the Leaf at a mall last year. After mentioning his interest to a Nissan employee, he was shortly contacted by the head of Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Coast communications team, who arranged for Muir to get a personal test drive.

After putting down his $99 deposit, Muir met for an hour in his home with a technician from Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supplier of upgraded charging stations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been really amazing to get this amount of personal attention from a huge car company like Nissan,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He is also a bit giddy about the level of financial support he will get to buy a Leaf â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the $7,500 federal tax credit as well as a $5,000 credit from the state of California, and another $2,000 federal credit toward the purchase of a charging unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted an electric car for 10 years, but I never expected it to make this much economic sense to get one,â&#x20AC;? Muir said.

The car itself will keep Nissan connected to its customers long after they drive it off the lot. A communication module installed in the Leafâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lithium-ion battery will send data to Nissan that monitors the condition of the battery and how it is being used.

The car is expected to travel up to 100 miles on a single battery charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; thing,â&#x20AC;? said Mark Perry, head of North American product planning for Nissan. If Nissan sees that a battery cell â&#x20AC;&#x153;has behaved outside the norm, we want to call you or e-mail you and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Come on in and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check it out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

sonal workers for the winter, and typically donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Tom Penn, general manager of the Phoenix Inn & Suites in Bend, said the hotel hires about 10 temporary workers during the summer and may occiasionally keep those people on call during the winter, if business warrants it.

Restaurants like the Pine Tavern must occassionally hire an employee or two during the winter, typically because people quit work to return to school or spend more time at Mt. Bachelor ski area, said Terri Klouda, assistant manager.

full-time, year-round individuals, and ramps up employment to between 600 and 700 at any given time between about November and springtime, said Andy Goggins, director of marketing and communications.

Retail sales outlook Retailers anticipating hiring more people also are hopeful for higher seasonal sales this year.

Kohlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide information about its expected sales.

A Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokeswoman said the company estimates in-store sales will rise between 3 to 3.5 percent over last year.

Those numbers are slightly

higher than overall seasonal retail sales projections released Wednesday by the National Retail Federation in Washington, D.C. It said sales should rise 2.3 percent from 2009, to $447.1 billion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retailers are hoping the holidays bring sustainable economic growth,â&#x20AC;? Matthew Shay, president and CEO of the federation, said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though the retail industry is on stronger footing than last year, companies are closely watching key economic indicators like employment and consumer confidence before getting too optimistic that the recession is behind them.â&#x20AC;?

Dave King, store manager at Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s REI, has a reason to be op-

timistic. King said sales for 2010 have been above budget, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going into the holiday season expecting to hire more people than in 2009.

Last year, when King hired about nine seasonal workers, sales were better than expected, while 2008 was worse. King said he plans to hire between 16 and 25 temporary employees this year, adding that he has already prescreened 25 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If (the applicants) all knock us out, we might have to stretch to that many,â&#x20AC;? King said.

Continued from G1 Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said it was not predicting another allout crisis, because its analysts believed most governments would eventually take steps to slim down their retirement programs, which include pensions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the biggest item â&#x20AC;&#x201D; health care, long-term care for the frail and unemployment benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is inconceivable that governments will allow debt and deficit burdens to spiral out of control,â&#x20AC;? it stated in the report.

It did not say how governments would persuade citizens that cutbacks were necessary, though.

Already, efforts to raise national retirement ages in France and Greece have led to angry protests. And suggestions in the U.S. that the Social Security and Medicare programs are out of balance routinely draw jeers. The United States currently spends about 10.8 percent of its gross domestic product on programs for the elderly, well below the level typical for an advanced economy and almost exactly what the rating agency found typical for emerging economies.

Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said that without changes, sovereign credit ratings could be expected to start falling around 2020 and fall faster from 2030 onward. When a countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit rating falls, its cost of borrowing money rises.

The report said the mature, industrial economies in Europe were the most vulnerable, and that some might lose their investment-grade ratings. The smaller and poorer countries of Europe and the rest of the world were seen as being better able to ride out the coming demographic storm, because their economies were growing faster and because their governments tended to have promised less of a safety net to the elderly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The disparities are large,â&#x20AC;? the agency warned, citing Russia, Ukraine, Luxembourg and

If current policies continue, Medicare and Social Security spending are both projected to grow much faster than federal tax revenue, creating a growing federal budget deficit. Other spending is not likely to grow nearly as fast.

In the S&P report, the United States was cited as one of the countries with a big deficit that would find it hard to deal with the economic effects of aging.

Japan as countries veering toward levels of government spending considered unsustainable.

Japan in particular was seen as an outlier, because its economy has been deflating, and deflation enlarges debt.

China, Switzerland, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines and India, on the other hand, were said to be at much less risk. The report, part of a series that began in 2002, recalled that by 2007, many countries recognized that they had promised more than they could

deliver and were seeking ways to control costs.

But those efforts stopped during the global financial crisis of 2008, when governments focused on keeping the world financial system from failing. The steps they took to bolster banks and financial markets added to their deficits and debt burdens, Standard & Poorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said, making it all the more urgent to prepare for the demographic shift now that the worst of the global financial crisis was over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our view, the maneuvering room has shrunk,â&#x20AC;? the agency warned.

It said many countries would make it through the demographic shift more easily if they cut their budget deficits now. The United States was cited as one of the countries with a big deficit that would find it hard to deal with the economic effects of aging.

Without thinning, in 30 years the trees would still be about the same size. With thinning, many of the remaining trees will grow to diameters of 12 to 16 inches and larger. “We’ll probably need to come back 30 years from now and do some commercial thinning. The trees will grow that much.”

Timber Continued from G1 That was slightly more than the 1934 low point of 2.622 billion board feet recorded during the Great Depression, Lettman said.

By comparison, the record high timber harvests of 9.802 billion board feet and 9.743 billion board feet were recorded in 1952 and 1972, respectively, Lettman said.

“Since I moved to Bend in 1993, I’ve seen 15 mills in Central Oregon closed temporarily or shut down permanently,” said Chuck Burley, a forest consultant with the American Forest Resources Council for Central and Eastern Oregon.

“The biggest problem in Central and Eastern Oregon is the mixture of private and federal lands,” Burley said. “There’s seven national forests in the region, and they have had a stranglehold on the timber supply. The Forest Service has got to start picking up management of the forests, and not just to increase production.”

With the economy in the tank and the state facing double-digit unemployment and budget shortfalls, Burley said it’s prudent to ask the Forest Service to come through with a stable, dependable supply of timber and biomass materials required to operate a sustainable network of lumber mills, and justify investment in biomass plants and new technology.

A dependable, sustainable supply of thinning and commercial logging in the forests will create jobs and bring money into the state to fund help fund schools, roads, city, county and state government, Burley said.

Log prices also crashed during the 2008-09 recession, bottoming out at $321 per 1,000 board feet in 2009, before rising to $460 this spring and then dropping back to $383 reported as the log price last week, Lettman said. Modernday log prices peaked at $703 per 1,000 board feet in 2005, before the housing bubble burst.

Tom Walker, with the Deschutes National Forest and supervisor of the Tumalo Flood Plain Enhancement Project, talks about slash piles for forest thinning that may be burned or utilized for biomass, firewood or other uses. He is standing in an area where woody debris from the thinning work is stacked pending the outcome of a planned meeting on whether to burn or not to burn.

A NEW GENERATION OF WORKERS Karisa Parish, 20, works on the Tumalo Flood Plain Enhancement Project west of Bend. She is part of a growing wave of women working in the woods as loggers and firefighters. “I love being outdoors,” says Parish, of La Pine. “It’s not like a desk job. Every day is something different.”

Despite all the gloomy news surrounding the forest sector’s decline, Tom Walker of the Deschutes National Forest said there is reason to be hopeful.

In the woods west of Bend, sawdust and chips were flying from chain saws operated by Karisa Parish, 20, of La Pine, and Jen Laszlo, 24, of Bend. They’re on a Forest Service logging crew thinning overcrowded stands of Ponderosa pines planted following the Bridge Creek Fire in 1979.

ployees working under Walker’s supervision aren’t cutting any trees larger than 12 inches, he said a logging contract has been awarded for commercial thinning, including larger trees on a 450-acre tract within the West Trumbull project.

One of the goals for the Tumalo project is to increase the spacing between trees from less than 10 feet to 20 to 25 feet, Walker said.

“When the trees are too close, they are competing for nourishment, and they are more susceptible to insect and diseases,” Walker said. “With more space between the trees, they grow bigger, faster. In the long run, that will be good for fish habitat.

“Eventually we want to have

He said similar forest health and fuels-reduction logging is occurring all across Central Oregon and other forested regions of the state, generating millions of tons of small logs and piles of tree limbs, brush and other woody biomass.

“By thinning some of the pines, the native spruce, fur and aspen will come back naturally,” Walker said, adding that bringing back aspen trees is a priority due to a decline in aspen stands across the West.

“In the past, we have just burned the slash piles, but with all the interest in biomass and other alternative uses of this woody material, we are planning to hold a meeting to at least consider other options,” Walker said.

Optimism

“I love being outdoors,” Parish said. “It’s not like a desk job. Every day is something different.”

She’s part of a new generation of women working in logging and firefighting.

She first got the bug to work in the woods during a jobs expo in high school in La Pine, which led to her first job last summer fighting fires with the Oregon Department of Forestry.

This year, Parish is back in the woods, but she’s working for the Forest Service honing her skills felling and bucking trees on the Tumalo Creek thinning project.

“Working on a thinning project gives them a lot of experience in tree felling and brush cutting, and those are tools you use all the time in firefighting,” said Mike Richards, supervisor of the Forest Service crew doing the logging and brush clearing Thursday.

While the logging and firefighting professions were once dominated by men, Richards said he’s seeing more women joining the ranks. “There’s still more men, but especially in the last 10 years, more women are wanting to do firefighting and work in the woods.”

With the decline of the timber industry, Richards said the pool of loggers experienced in felling trees has declined to the point that more summer firefighters hired by the Forest Service and other agencies are taking classes to fill the void.

The 99-acre Tumalo Flood Plain Enhancement project where Richards, Parish, Laszlo and other members of the crew are logging and thinning brush is part of the larger 800-acre West Trumbull fuels-reduction project, Walker said.

supply over the past quarter-century, Cannon said.

Cannon sees hope for the future in new technology for composite wood products, as well as products like methanol and a biomass substitute for coal.

With a transition to biomass energy, Cannon sees hope for local communities across Eastern and Central Oregon to break free of their dependence on foreign oil. Biomass also can replace oil as a fuel source to heat water in boilers in schools, hospitals, industrial and community buildings.

Using woody biomass for power also creates less pollution than open burns of slash piles, Cannon said.

“Wood has (a) much lower carbon footprint than fuel oil,” Cannon said.

“The good news is there is a lot of potential in the future. A lot of the mill sites that closed have the potential to be put back into production of biomass, and eventually into lumber production,” Cannon said. “The pieces are all there. It’s the financing and predictable supply that is the problem.”

In Eastern and Central Oregon, Cannon said solving both of those problems will require cooperation from federal forest managers to allow sustainable harvests and use of biomass from smaller trees and brush, as well as harvesting of larger trees as they grow to commercial harvest size.

Rex Storm, forest policy manager for Associated Oregon Loggers, said the forest sector is still a major force in Oregon’s economy, with employment before the latest recession estimated at more than 85,000, including 52,000 in primary and secondary wood products manufacturing, 15,000 in logging and forest operations, and 18,000 in forestry services.

Storm said Oregon’s forest sector accounts for 6.9 percent of the state’s total industrial output, second only to high-tech for producing goods and services sold out of state.

“Wood products manufacturing comprises at least 50 percent of manufacturing employment in 15 of Oregon’s 36 counties, and over 25 percent in another seven counties,” Storm said. Before the recession, primary wood products manufacturing and services contributed $12.6 billion to the state economy, he said.

While he doesn’t have figures on the toll the recession has taken on the forest sector, Storm said, “There has not been a depression this severe in the forest products sector since the 1930s.”

big trees grow old and fall into the stream for fish habitat,” Walker said.

Plantation forest stands typically planted after a fire or clearcut logging are usually composed of one species planted at the same time. Without thinning, the stands often become stunted, sickly and prone to insect and disease infestations.

Without thinning, in 30 years the trees would still be about the same size, Walker said. With thinning, many of the remaining trees will grow to diameters of 12 to 16 inches and larger.

“We’ll probably need to come back 30 years from now and do some commercial thinning. The trees will grow that much,” Walker said.

of overcrowded timber stands across the state, Walker said there’s ample woody biomass being cut to supply an alternative wood products industry, provided proponents can find a way to make it pencil out.

Linc Cannon, director of forest resources and taxation with the Salem-based Oregon Forest Industries Council, said the thinning occurring in federal and state forests is a positive change from hands-off policies that allowed the forests to deteriorate, setting the stage for a record decade of unnatural catastrophic fires.

Without thinning, Cannon said there wasn’t much hope of saving the forests from catastrophic fires and restoring healthy, sustainable and productive forests that made Oregon the nation’s leading producer of lumber and other wood products.

Now, Cannon said he sees hope for development of a woody biomass industry using slash from the thinning projects over the next 30 years or more. There’s also potential for a new generation of sawmills with the proliferation of large, healthy trees in the future, he said.

“We have an opportunity to make our forests more productive and sustainable and to create a lot of jobs,” Cannon said. “By utilizing the biomass, we have the potential to create new greenenergy jobs and tax revenues to support local communities and schools.”

Other reasons for optimism about a rebound of Oregon’s forest sector include a widespread pine beetle infestation spreading in Canadian forests. That creates an opportunity for Oregon’s timber industry to regain a share of the market lost to Canada, Russia and other timber-exporting countries, due in part to logging restrictions and the limited log

Back from the near-dead

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

My dirges were sung too early.

The formerly moribund Mercedes-Benz R-Class, the world’s most luxurious minivan, lives.

I was sure it was a goner after 2009, when a paltry 2,825 units were sold in the United States. It figures, I thought. Who wants to spend big bucks on what essentially is a minivan?

But Germany’s Daimler, maker of the RR E V I E W Class, refused to pull the plug. Instead, it invested in revival, substantially beautifying the once slab-sided body and unattractive face of the R-Class.

The old model looked like a cargo van with a Mercedes-Benz tristar stuck on the grille. The new R-Class looks like a MercedesBenz should look: stately, elegant and rich.

The new design makes the RClass more amenable to the fanciful product designation nomenclature preferred by MercedesBenz’s marketers, who frown upon the terms “minivan” and “station wagon.” Their preference is “sports cruiser,” “family tourer” or “luxury crossover.”

Whatever you choose to call the 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-350 BlueTEC, the model driven for this column, matters not. Just know that it works and works well.

I employed it as both a people hauler and a refuse truck. It has that kind of versatility, although it works much better as a people hauler.

There are seats for seven adults.

Even the two rearmost seats reasonably accommodate adult arms and legs. The R-350 BlueTEC is perfect for long runs. There is a super-efficient heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system serving front and rear passengers.

An optional rear-seat audio/visual system keeps bored passengers entertained. Seats bedecked with the finest “pleather,” vinyl that resembles supple leather, feel and look plush. Burl walnut woodgrain accents on the instrument panel and interior door panels complete the feeling of wealth and privilege.

But converting the R-350 BlueTEC into a hauler of stuff takes some doing. Although other minivans and crossover utility vehicles have made this job easy with automatic, totally collapsible middle and rear seats, such as those in the Chrysler Town & Country minivan, Mercedes-Benz insists that R-Class owners do it the old-fashioned way.

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz R-350 BlueTEC advanced diesel minivan sheds its cargo-hauler persona and now looks the Mercedes part: stately, elegant and rich. remove headrests, pull up bottom cushions and work levers to pull down seat backs. Compared with the automatically lowered, stored and raised seats offered by the competition, it’s a chore.

But, once done, the R-350 BlueTEC becomes a full-fledged workhorse. Credit here goes to the turbocharged diesel, 3-liter, V-6 engine (210 horsepower, 400 footpounds of torque). It’s nobody’s racer. It was never intended to be one. But it can pull a load (estimated 1,200 pounds payload and 3,500 towing capacity) with ease.

But after using it as a hauler of construction debris and dismantled office furniture, I felt guilty.

To make something so beautiful do such dirty work!

I took it home, vacuumed it, buffed and polished it up. I restored all seats and headrests to their original positions. I then invited my wife, Mary Anne, for a long highway run down westbound Interstate 66 capped by dinner.

“This is a beautiful machine,” said Mary Anne, relaxing in the front passenger seat. “It feels like a Mercedes-Benz. It even smells like one.”

That said it all.

The bottom line It remains to be seen if U.S. buyers will be any friendlier to the new R-Class than they were to the previous model. But in the new model, Mercedes-Benz has installed what was so horribly missing in the old one: a distinct Mercedes-Benz identity and feel.

Engine: Standard R-350 BlueTEC engine is a turbocharged, 24-valve, direct-injection V-6 diesel. It is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission that can also be shifted manually.

Mileage: 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway — not bad for an all-wheel-drive vehicle with a factory weight of 5,203 pounds this one is a bonus.

Head-turning quotient: People actually looked and smiled at this one. They tended to ignore or look askance at the predecessor model.

Ride, acceleration and handling: Ride is excellent on good or bad roads. Credit the four-wheel independent, self-leveling suspension (front and rear stabilizer bar, double-wishbone front, multi-link rear). Unloaded acceleration is good from “start.” It borders on ponderous when the R-350 BlueTEC is loaded. But the R-350 always hits its stride in the long haul, running with gusto loaded or unloaded. Handling is excellent loaded or unloaded.

BlueTEC defined: BlueTEC is the trade name used for Mercedes-Benz’s advanced diesel vehicles. It refers to the urea-based AdBlue chemical used to reduce nitrogen oxides and other pollutants in the exhaust streams of diesel engines.

RAISING STANDARDS: FUEL ECONOMY, CRASH TESTS

62 mpg by 2025?

Agencies hope so

By Neela Banerjee McClatchy-Tribune News Service

WASHINGTON — In an effort that bolsters states with aggressive timetables for reducing auto emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department are taking new steps toward creating fuel standards that would require cars to get between 47 to 62 miles per gallon by the year 2025.

The announcement, which the EPA described as “scenarios,” not guidelines, was framed in terms of limiting the emission of greenhouse gases that many scientists say contribute to global warming.

The new steps, announced at the beginning of October, follow up on rules the federal government adopted in April that would increase average fuel economy of cars to 34 mpg by 2016.

Environmental groups hailed the action as affirming California’s nationally trendsetting approach to controlling greenhouse emissions. The state had been expected to issue its standards for 2025 this fall, but has delayed them until early next year, according to Roland Hwang, transportation program director for the Natural Resources Defense Council.

The announcement by the EPA and Transportation Department, called a notice of intent, would narrow the gap between the federal and state approaches, creat-

Errant sparks may be behind engine sputter

ing more uniform standards for carmakers, auto parts suppliers, green technology firms and oil companies to follow.

Spokesmen for the auto industry condemned the efforts, saying they could raise prices and penalize consumers.

Final rules are scheduled to be issued at the end of July 2012.

The vast American vehicle fleet accounts for a sizable portion of global emissions. For years, under Democratic and Republican administrations alike, the domestic auto industry blocked efforts to increase fuel economy standards in Congress by arguing that they would drive up prices of U.S. cars, making them less competitive.

Fewer sales, the industry argued, would lead to auto plant closings and job losses. But in 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that the EPA could regulate new-vehicle emissions without going through Congress as part of its legal mandate to control greenhouse gas emissions and curb air pollution.

In a technical assessment the EPA and Transportation Department conducted with the California Air Resources Board, the agencies developed scenarios to decrease greenhouse emissions from cars by 3 percent to 6 percent annually starting in 2017. In terms of fuel economy, that would mean new cars would have to get on average between 47 and 62 miles per gallon by 2025.

Newer safety rules, and fewer stars BMW’s 5 Series and Hyundai Sonata were the only new-for-2011 vehicles to receive an overall fivestar safety rating in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s new safety evaluations.

The revised ratings system will assess each new 2011 model for side pole crash testing and crashprevention technologies. It also used female crash test dummies for the first time in crash simulations. Each vehicle received a 1 through 5 score on its ability to withstand frontal and side impacts. A third score measures the model’s rollover risk. Then each vehicle receives an overall rating.

Because so many vehicles had reached the highest rating under the old rating criteria, and because the new standards are much more rigorous, not all previously rated five-star vehicles will remain so.

For model year 2011, NHTSA will rate 24 passenger cars, 20 sport utility vehicles, two vans and nine pickups under the new ratings system.

The NHTSA urges consumers to consider vehicles with crash-avoidance technologies such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning or electronic stability control.

ultra-low sulfur diesel (15 parts per million sulfur vs. 500 ppm for traditional diesel fuel). The R-350 BlueTEC can be equipped to pull a trailer weighing 3,500 pounds.

Safety: Standard equipment includes four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated front/solid rear), fourwheel antilock brake protection and electronic braking assistance, electronic stability and traction control, 12 air bags (including side and head bags for middle and rear passengers) and pre-collision safety system (automatically tightens belts and makes other safety adjustments in an imminent crash).

I’m hoping you can help me with what seems to be an ongoing problem. My 2004 Lincoln LS has begun to sputter and stumble again. It previously had this problem and replacement of two ignition coils fixed it, at least for a while.

I’ve searched the Web, and according to quite a few forums, these coils seem to be a big problem. Can you explain what is happening and what I can do about it so my car will be enjoyable and reliable to drive in the future?

Your Lincoln, and its Thunderbird sibling equipped with the 3.9 liter V8 engine, utilize an individual ignition coil attached directly atop each spark plug. This arrangement, known as “coil on plug,” is found on most newer engine designs, as it’s efficient and reliable. Each ignition coil is triggered at a precise time by an ignition control module or by the powertrain control module, or engine control computer.

Ignition coils, regardless of type or location, convert the vehicle’s 14 volts to as much as 50,000 volts to reliably jump the spark plugs. Making the spark is fairly easy; delivering it without leakage to the spark plug is the tricky part.

The directly coupled coil-onplug design eliminates the need for spark plug wires, which is a huge reliability improvement.

But spark leakage can still occur. Sometimes the ignition spark punches through the coil’s plastic housing and finds ground, either internally or externally, to engine metal.

And on many overhead cam engines, that engine metal is very close to the rubber insulating boot surrounding the

A:

coil-spark plug connection, as the spark plugs are deeply recessed in a metal tube. The rubber boot can develop a split or tiny tear as a result of periodic removal. It also can become degraded as by a leaky coil cover, coil seal or valve cover seal allows moisture or engine oil to sneak into the spark plug well.

Then the spark could sneak out to the metal tube or the spark plug’s metal casing.

Ford has issued several technical service bulletins addressing concerns about moisture or oil buildup in the spark plug wells on the 3.9-liter engine.

In addition to extending warranty coverage on the ignition coils to 10 years or 100,000 miles, they’ve named several fixes to be implemented. (If you haven’t received notification from them, check with your dealer or call Ford’s Customer Relationship Center at 866-436-7332.)

Your Lincoln is somewhat prone to water dripping onto the ignition coil covers as a result of a leaky windshield wiper motor bracket seal, and revised coil covers are supposed to further protect the coils from moisture intrusion.

I’d push hard to have all eight ignition coils renewed under the extended warranty, whether or not they’ve failed. Then I’d have them stress-tested at nine years or 99,000 miles — before the warranty expires — to ensure they’re good to go for the long haul. I have a hunch there’s more to this story that’s yet to play out.

(a requirement for some government benefits). On weekends, the family goes to Pioneers Park and barbecues. The kids have even sampled the delights of Chuck E. Cheese on a few special occasions.

Although Naef is currently unemployed, he declares, “I want to stay and be a good citizen. I want to give back to this country.” He ran a construction and restoration business in Baghdad before a kidnapping and death threats drove him and his family to flee. They came to Lincoln in April 2009. “I have found peace in this land,” Naef says.

Naef and Suad (who do not want their last names printed for fear of endangering relatives still in Iraq) are among the newest of an estimated 5000 to 7000 Iraqis who’ve chosen the Lincoln area as their home in the last 15 years. They and their children are changing this Midwestern city, with its freckle-faced Future Farmers of America and its corn and beef industries. Of course, the changes have gone both ways. Sheila Schlisner is executive director of the Good Neighbor Community Center (GNCC), a nonprofit that assists recent immigrants to Lincoln as well as low-income residents. After her husband passed away a few years ago, she was deeply moved when the Iraqi women she works with brought her family “platters and platters of food,” as is their tradition. She says, “There’s so much negative press about Muslims. We need to encourage people to find out how wonderful they are.”

Because of the city’s size, relatively stable economy, and educational opportunities (it’s home to the main campus of the Uni-

versity of Nebraska), the U.S. State Department designated Lincoln—current population 250,000—as “refugee friendly” in the 1970s. Thousands of Vietnamese refugees were resettled there, and waves of immigrants from other countries followed. Lincoln’s public schools now include children speaking 52 languages.

‘It warms my heart to see conversations occurring between different faiths,’ Lincoln pastor Jim Keck says.

“We’ve embraced diversity,” Schlisner says. And at a time when tensions are running high in the nation over building an Islamic community center near the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, this welcoming attitude is appealing to Muslims. In fact, many Iraqis in Lincoln are secondary immigrants—ones who were first resettled in another U.S. city but moved to Nebraska because they heard about its friendliness, low crime rate, and strong network of social-services agencies.

Mayor Chris Beutler says, “I’m not surprised, but I am very proud of how our citizens have responded to the Iraqis. At the same time, we’ve invited these immigrants to share their culture with us, and that enriches the entire community.”

ASTOR JIM KECK OF LINCOLN’S FIRST Plymouth Congregational Church says parishioners have expressed “joy and curiosity” about the newcomers. Church members have sponsored refugees and hosted dinners where the Iraqis have spoken about their lives and being Muslim. Keck adds: “That’s not to say there haven’t been misunderstandings.

People have stereotypes about Islam, and one is that it is a more violent religion. It warms my heart to see conversations occurring between different faiths so people can learn the truth firsthand.”

Iraqis have been a presence here since the first Gulf War. Mohammed Al-Baaj, 45, and his wife, Zainab, 35—one of the first Iraqi families to arrive—moved to Lincoln in 1994. Today the couple and their four children are all U.S. citizens, and two years ago Mohammed realized his dream of owning a small farm.

An American flag flutters at the driveway to the Al-Baaj farm.

Chickens squawk in a pen behind the house, and three sheep graze nearby. Mohammed has been a forklift operator at the Kawasaki plant for eight years.

Still, the imam says that cultural obstacles are not the biggest challenges that the refugees face. “Language is number one; the weather is number two.”

Return of the Milkman!

T

HREE TIMES A week, in the dim light and cool air of a Saratoga County morning, Jan and Jeff King load 300 gallons of milk into a refrigerated truck. Winding their way through suburban culs-de-sac, down country roads, and along village streets, they bring glass-bottled, farmfresh milk to more than 150 homes surrounding their family’s century-old dairy farm in upstate New York.

Their grandfather, Edgar, and father, Ed, traveled the same route for decades before stopping in 1961. Nearly 50 years later, Jan and Jeff, 42 and 39 respectively, are back on the road.

By mid-morning, the brothers will return to the farm with a slew of empty bottles ready to be cleaned and refilled. Piling the extra work on top of the daily demands of caring for 800 purebred Holstein cows isn’t easy. But reviving the home-delivery service, the brothers say, is a dream fulfilled.

Jeff and Jan grew up listening to tales from their granddad’s era—stories of people who would leave their doors open and ask him to put the milk in their refrigerators; of customers who would invite him inside for fresh blueberry muffins; of the woman who quickly mended his ripped pants one time as he stood, mortified, behind a closed door. Even the old bottles lying around the house seemed to be goading the two back onto the route.

After a lot of requests from neighbors for fresh milk—and some careful consid-

eration—the Kings bought an old truck, plastered their name on the side, and began taking orders. Their first delivery took place this spring, exactly 49 years after their father took the dairy’s armysurplus truck out one last time.

“I remember putting that bottle down on the doorstep and just thinking how neat it was that we were doing this again,” says a baby-faced Jan, who has spent his entire life on the farm.

Customers, too, are glad to have the milkmen back.

In the 1940s, Laddie Zwijacz’s family took two quarts of milk a week from the King dairy. Each bottle cost 10 cents and had a three-inch layer of cream on top.

“This is what real milk tastes like, not

the water you get in stores,” Zwijacz, 78, says of the Kings’ current vintage.

“There’s a world of difference.”

Kathleen Quinn, whose grandfather was a milkman, gets four gallons each week. While she says she “can’t deny that nostalgia is part of the appeal,” Quinn also has practical matters to tend to: She makes her own yogurt and cheese and has three small children. “There’d better be some chocolate milk in there,” she jokes with Jeff when he arrives at the door, a wire container full of half-gallon bottles in each hand. “I’ll have a lot to answer for if there’s not.”

Comments like that make the King brothers smile. “We have people telling us they love our product,” says Jeff, a father of three. “We’ve never had that kind of feedback before.” Most dairy farmers see their milk carted away by tanker truck and mixed with other dairies’ milk—the Kings’ reaches many customers within 24 hours of milking.

“People really appreciate knowing where their food is coming from,” Jan notes. And he’s looking forward to making the rounds someday with his son, now 5. “It will be great when he can ride with me on my route,” he says, “just like my father did with his father.”

Ways to Warm Your Home

As daylight fades, HGTV star Vern Yip offers easy ways to turn up the light

W

Vern Yip is the designer on HGTV’s Urban Oasis

ITH THE DAYS GETTING shorter, the amount of natural light diminishes, so keeping your home bright and cheery can be a challenge. But these easy (and relatively inexpensive) steps can lift the mood—even when the sun doesn’t make an appearance all day long.

Hang Mirrors on Walls Opposite Windows Mirrors will take whatever natural light is coming in and bounce it right back into the room. The larger the mirror, the more light you’ll get.

And you don’t have to stick to the framed kind: Try mirrored end tables, coffee tables, buffets, and consoles… Just be sure to use them sparingly!

1

Frame Familiar Faces Brightening a room sometimes has as much to do with your perception as with the actual light level inside a space. Use the change of seasons as a cue to reframe or add new photos of family and friends. And since fall coincides with the indoor entertaining season, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy your updated frames.

Use Candle Sconces Sconces are an inexpensive, dramatic way to add elegance, warmth, and comfort while keeping the flames out of reach of pets and kids. If you want to take safety a step further, look for battery-operated “candles” that have wax exteriors and internal flickering lights. You’ll be able to fall asleep to their cozy glow without worrying about starting a fire.

The contrasting elements will make everything pop visually.

Embrace White A little bit of white—a fresh coat of semi-gloss paint on moldings, a vase of white flowers, or a white bowl filled with shiny green apples—can make any space feel fresher. My personal favorite: white bedding. It always looks crisp and clean.

“Look at the windows on that one.”

Install Brighter Bulbs Most incandescent bulbs emit a yellow glow that dulls a space and visually drags it down. Consider switching to halogen bulbs designed to emit a pure, white light that mimics natural daylight; they come in almost every style and size. Ask the lighting department at your local home-improvement store for recommendations. I use PAR20 bulbs and MR16 bulbs. Both emit a clean, pure white light that makes a room feel sunny inside.

‘Music Helped Me Survive’ Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles is helping kids find their own beat

by Maura Kelly

J

ENNIFER NETTLES, the lead vocalist for the Grammy-winning country-pop duo Sugarland, began singing around the time she learned to read. She was 6 when she performed at a church pageant in her hometown of Douglas, Ga.; 7 when she was invited to sing at religious ceremonies and local luncheons; and 11 when she penned her first songs on the piano that her mother bought after the church music director said, “Your girl has a gift.”

But for Nettles, music became more than a hobby—it helped her cope with a difficult moment in her childhood. Her mom, Carla, was just 20 when Jennifer was born.

“There was a period when I felt I couldn’t let it show if I was angry or scared,” she says. “Music was a safe place where I could let out my emo-

tions. Having that outlet at a time when I felt powerless was invaluable in my emotional survival. Art can be such a powerful tool for children to express themselves.”

Fueled by the success of Sugarland—whose new album, The Incredible Machine, on Oct. 19—Nettles wants to help children discover the benefits of music for themselves.

She has now teamed up with Eddie Owen, founder and manager of the Decatur, Ga., club Eddie’s Attic, who supported her and many other

musicians like John Mayer and the Indigo Girls early in their careers.

“It takes so much encouragement to make it in the music business, and Eddie was always there,” Nettles says. “I wanted to give others the kind of help he had given me.”

This year, the two launched the nonprofit Attic Community Playground to develop and underwrite arts curricula for schools. “If kids develop an interest in music, that’s safer and more positive than many things they could be doing,” says Nettles, who lives in Atlanta when not touring with Sugarland partner Kristian Bush. “So much funding for arts education has been cut.”

One of the program’s first recipients is the Museum School of Avondale Estates (an Atlanta suburb), where Nettles and Owen are creating a music-appreciation course and plan to provide instruments for students.

“When I met with Jennifer, I was moved by her interest in doing whatever it takes to support our school,” says Katherine Kelbaugh, principal of the new charter institution. “Without Attic’s help, we’d only be able to provide very limited arts education.

We have students who wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to music, see a concert, or meet a musician.”

Nettles says she feels lucky when fans tell her that “Stay,” one of the songs she’s written, inspired them.

“Music helped me evolve into an adult,” she notes. “Understanding and appreciating art is so helpful when it comes to processing the hard stuff in the world.”

Readers may be surprised to hear that in both the U.S. and the rest of the world, the population would be roughly the same if no wars had ever occurred.

The great majority of wartime casualties have been men, and demographers say that population growth is generally determined by the number and child-bearing capacity (called fecundity) of women.

Fecundity is affected by factors such as disease and a lack of food and water, but having fewer men—who are fertile throughout life—doesn’t make a significant dent in population growth.

far the most entrepreneurial organization in the government. I look back occasionally at memos that I wrote, and I think, My God, I’m very tolerant about candor—but I’d fire me if somebody sent me a memo like that!

DG: Historian Stephen Ambrose argued that Americans had one advantage in military leadership: that our soldiers were sons of democracy who grew up encouraged to think on their feet.

RG: This country has two inherent advantages. First, the caliber of our young people. Second, we’re more self-aware and selfcritical than any country in history. That doesn’t mean we’re a bunch of geniuses. It just means—due, in no small part, to a free press—that we recognize our problems faster than anybody else and move to correct them faster.

DG: Our strength, then, is our willingness to tackle problems?

RG: Yes. But it requires leaders.

Look in all the parks in the whole world, and you’ll never find a statue built for a committee. Whether it’s in business or anyplace else, it requires one person who has a vision and then has the ability to execute that vision.

DG: So it’s all about leadership?

RG: Absolutely. You have to have a person at the top of the heap who will say, “Push back. Don’t be afraid to push back.” Offer candor, encourage candor, stand up for what you think is right. Don’t be buffaloed, because generals— and secretaries—can be wrong.

Finally, a cell phone that’s… a phone!

“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been bugging me, my book group made fun of me, and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones are so small I can’t see the numbers, much less push the right one. They all have cameras, computers and a “global-positioning” something or other that’s supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren’t much help. They couldn’t understand why someone wouldn’t want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were complicated, confusing, and expensive… and the contract lasted for two years! I’d almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being able to stay in touch… with a phone I can actually use.”

The cell phone that’s right for me. Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind. The phone fits easily in my pocket, but it flips open and reaches from my mouth to my ear. The display is large and backlit, so I can actually see who is calling. With a push of a button I can amplify the volume, and if I don’t know a number, I can simply push one for a friendly, helpful operator that will look it up and even dial it for me. The Jitterbug also reduces background noise, making the sound loud and clear. There’s even a dial tone, so I know the phone is ready to use.

Affordable plans that I can understand – and no contract to sign! Unlike other cell phones, Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I’m never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won’t find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign – so I’m not locked in for years at a time or subject to termination fees. The U.S. – based customer service is second to none, and the phone gets service virtually anywhere in the country.
