The “dangerous dog” tag.

Behind Bend’s new efforts to crack down on animals after an attack

Effective teachers may see pay climb 3 local districts would focus on evaluations, training and student performance

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Teachers in Bend-La Pine, Redmond and Crook County school districts could soon see their pay increase depending on proficiency, training and leadership instead of as they do now — based of years in the classroom and education levels.

Those changes and more would come thanks to federal funding designed to implement education reform. The three districts have each written plans outlining their work with the nonprofit Chalkboard Project, which organized the Creative Leadership Achieves Student Success (CLASS) Project.

The focus is on teachers — their evaluation, pathways to becoming leaders and their compensation — because research indicates highly effective teachers are the most important part of increasing student achievement.

But how different will life really be for teachers and students once CLASS programs get under way in the three districts’ schools?

An older population and shorter studies highlight a problem

By Gina Kolata New York Times News Service

In the past month, the Food and Drug Administration has concluded that in some cases two types of drugs that were supposed to be preventing serious medical problems were, in fact, causing them.

One is bisphosphonates, which is widely used to prevent fractures, especially of the hip and spine, that are common in people with osteoporosis. Those drugs, like Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva, will now have to carry labels saying they can lead to rare fractures of the thigh bone, a surprising new discovery that came after another surprise, that they can cause a rare degeneration of the jawbone.

The other is Avandia, which is widely prescribed for diabetics, whose disease puts them at risk for heart attacks and heart failure. Two-thirds of diabetics die of heart problems, and a main reason for taking drugs like Avandia is to protect them from that.

But now the FDA and drug regulators in Europe are restricting Avandia’s use because it appears to increase heart risks.

In the case of bisphosphonates, the benefits for people with osteoporosis still outweigh the risk, bone experts say. And no one has restricted their use. But the fact remains that with decades of using drugs to treat chronic diseases, the unexpected can occur.

Katie Yochum pets Trixie, a Lhasa Apso, on her front porch Thursday afternoon. Trixie has been deemed dangerous after biting someone in June. The city of Bend’s “dangerous dog” tag is issued to animals that have been placed on probation by the municipal court after an attack; Trixie is the first dog to have to wear this tag.

angerous probably isn’t the word that comes to mind when someone first sees Trixie. But by Bend standards, that’s exactly what she is.

The 3-year-old Lhasa Apso, with her tan, curly hair and scrunched-up face, can’t weigh more than 15 to 20 pounds. And when she stands on her hind legs

wagging her tail, her front paws don’t reach much beyond the knees. In the hierarchy of the Animal Kingdom, Trixie looks more like a snack than a predator.

But on June 11, while her owner, Katie Yochum, was out of town, Trixie escaped from her backyard near downtown Bend, ran through an alley and bit a stranger on the finger.

Because she drew blood and the attack was unprovoked — the victim told police she was trying to look at Trixie’s dog tags — a municipal court judge ruled she was dangerous and placed her on probation for five years.

Trixie was no longer allowed to go to the park, and Yochum was ordered to place signs around her house that she had a dangerous animal. And if the dog ever left the house, she had to be led by someone who was “physically capable” of handling her.

After a flawless rescue, Chile sets high expectations

While these rules are no different for any other dog placed on probation in Bend for biting someone, Trixie was the first dog that was ordered under a new city rule to get a special “dangerous dog” tag and have a microchip placed in the scruff of her neck so she could be easily identified by law enforcement if she got into trouble again.

“Most people, they think this is kind of minor stuff, but it generally involves somebody bleeding,” Bend Community Service Officer Canyon Davis said. “We just don’t want animals assaulting people. It’s not acceptable for people to be coming out and assaulting people. It’s not OK for dogs to come out and assault people.”

President Barack Obama headlines a Boston rally and fundraiser Saturday for a political ally and longtime friend, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, right, who is seeking a second term. Obama, campaigning coast to coast in the weeks before Nov. 2, had a warning: Even in the bluest of states, no Democrat is guaranteed a victory in this volatile election season. “This is a tough political environment.”

If Obama wants big changes, he may soon be on his own

By Scott Wilson The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — As the tumultuous first two years of Barack Obama’s presidency draw to a close, the president and his advisers have begun to puzzle over a difficult question: Now what?

There are many things Obama has said he would like to accomplish in the next two years of his term — overhauling the nation’s immigration laws, passing energy and climate-change legislation, and shrinking the federal deficit, to name a few. Yet doing so may be exceptionally challenging, if even possible, given the skeptical mood of the public and an everlikely shake-up in Washington.

Next month’s midterm elections are on track to leave the president with fewer friends in Congress, and possibly a Republican majority in one or both chambers emboldened to thwart his plans.

In White House strategy sessions, Obama’s senior staffers are debating their options. They have not yet settled on a specific plan, and the president has not spelled one out. How Obama approaches the coming years will depend in part on whether Democrats lose Congress or survive with narrower majorities. Yet, no matter how the elections turn out, a consensus has emerged in the West Wing that Obama will have to set out goals that do not rely as much on Congress to advance his unfinished reform agenda.

“Clearly the agenda carried out by the administration in the first two years, the agenda that it wanted to do rather than had to do, will be smaller these next two years,” said William Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who was a policy adviser in the Clinton administration.

“But there is still an agenda of necessity with Congress, and the administration will not be able to just avoid it entirely.”

One senior administration official said the courts may play an expanded role in the next two years, as the president defends his health care and financial reform laws against legal challenges.

The president could also choose to use — or threaten to use — his executive powers to get some of what he wants done without seeking congressional approval. Last year, he backed EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson’s decision to enact tough new regulations on carbon emissions unless Congress takes action. Similarly, President George W. Bush, faced with opposition in Congress, made significant changes to federal environmental rules to make it easier for the oil and gas industry to explore on federal lands.

Obama’s lack of a specific plan for his second term contrasts with the careful blueprint he drew up as he prepared to take office in January 2009. One thing the president did not plan for then was the public’s growing discontent with his focus on health care and other priorities as the economy continued to falter.

History shows that presidents have revived their fortunes during times of divided government

Related • Courting the retiree vote: Those who focus on Social Security and Medicare encounter a more complex electorate, Page A4 (if that is what Nov. 2 brings) when both parties have a political stake in compromise. Two of Obama’s Democratic predecessors, Harry Truman and Bill Clinton, grappled with the question of whether to seek confrontation or compromise with an oppositionist Congress.

Truman chose confrontation.

He proposed landmark legislation on civil rights and health care, “knowing that they were dead on arrival” in the Republican-controlled Congress, said Stanford historian David Kennedy. He then campaigned successfully against the “do-nothing” Congress.

“That is a strategy that I think is available to Obama,” Kennedy said. “He can’t overdo it, but he could bring forward one or two big legislative proposals and ... blame Republican obstructionism.”

Clinton, by contrast, worked with Republicans for more modest legislative measures that appealed to the middle class. “That may be more suited to his temperament and instincts given that he

has largely proposed that over the past two years,” Kennedy said.

Truman and Clinton, of course, both were returned to office. Administration officials said that Obama, whose time in office has revealed a tension between his big reform ambitions and his political pragmatism, will probably settle on a path between the two.

Not all the remaining items on Obama’s to-do list are politically popular. For much of the year, Obama has spoken in favor of energy and immigration reform, gathering advocates of each periodically at the White House for meetings. Yet he never made either a priority after the long, politically costly health care fight.

Some senior advisers have argued that both overhauls could be accomplished a piece at a time instead of all at once. But administration officials and Obama himself have said that each would be difficult to accomplish piecemeal.

Whatever Obama’s ambitions, Democrats on Capitol Hill are pressing him not to lose sight of what they say must be his top priority: the economy. “Up next is his re-election,” said Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a vice chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Right now, we’re being measured on our results. The next round will be his results.”

BAQUBA, Iraq — Members of U.S.-allied Awakening Councils have quit or been dismissed from their positions in significant numbers in recent months, prey to an intensive recruitment campaign to rejoin the Sunni insurgency, according to government officials, current and former members of the Awakening, and insurgents.

Although there are no firm figures, hundreds of the welldisciplined fighters appear to have returned to al-Qaida in Mesopotamia. Beyond that, officials say even many of them still on the government payroll, possibly thousands of them, covertly aid the insurgency.

The defections have accelerated since inconclusive parliamentary elections that left Sunnis uncertain of retaining what little political influence they have with the Shiite-led government and appear to have provided al-Qaida new recruitment opportunities.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will travel to Iran and Jordan to seek support for his bid to win a second term more than seven months after national elections, an adviser said Saturday. AlMaliki is struggling to remain in power since his Shiite alliance narrowly lost the March 7 vote to a Sunni-backed bloc led by Ayad Allawi. Sunni Arab states like Jordan have supported Al-

Awakening members were initially paid by the American military, with promises that they would eventually be given jobs with the central government. But as of July, less than half — 41,000 of 94,000 — of the Awakening’s fighters had been offered jobs by the government, according to the Pentagon. Much of the employment has been temporary and involved menial labor.

Awakening leaders and security officials say that since the spring, as many as several thousand Awakening fighters have quit, been fired, stopped showing up for duty or ceased picking up paychecks. The government, which says it is trying to integrate the Awakening into society, has further angered the group recently by confiscating its weapons, saying Awakening fighters lack proper permits.

Feds: Scout in Mumbai attacks was a DEA informant

Bulletin wire reports

By Sebastian Rotella The Washington Post

Federal officials acknowledged Saturday that David Coleman Headley, the U.S. businessman who confessed to being a terrorist scout in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was working as a Drug Enforcement Administration informant while training with terrorists in Pakistan.

Federal officials, who spoke only on background because of the sensitivity of the Headley case, also said they suspect a link between Headley and the al-Qaida figures whose activities have sparked recent terror threats against Europe.

The revelations came after a report Friday that the FBI had been warned about Headley’s terrorist ties three years before the Mumbai attacks. Headley was arrested 11 months after those attacks.

After he was arrested in a 2005 domestic dispute in New York City, his wife told federal investigators about his long involvement with the terrorist group Lashkar-i-Taiba and his extensive training in its Pakistani camps. She also told them he had bragged about being a paid U.S. informant while undergoing terrorist training.

Despite a federal inquiry into the tip, Headley spent the next four years doing terrorist reconnaissance around the world. Between 2006 and 2008, he did five spying missions in Mumbai scouting targets for the attack by Lashkar that killed 166 people, including six Americans.

On Saturday, The New York Times reported that another of Headley’s wives — he apparently was married to three women at the same time — also had warned U.S. officials about his terrorism involvement.

creative destruction. Japanese leaders at first denied the severity of their nation’s problems and then spent heavily on job-creating public works projects that only postponed painful but necessary structural changes, economists say.

“We’re not Japan,” said Robert Hall, a professor of economics at Stanford University. “In America, the bet is still that we will somehow find ways to get people spending and investing again.”

Still, as political pressure builds to reduce federal spending and budget deficits, other economists are now warning of “Japanification” — of falling into the same deflationary trap of collapsed demand that occurs when consumers refuse to consume, corporations hold back on investments and banks sit on cash. It becomes a vicious, self-reinforcing cycle: As prices fall further and jobs disappear, consumers tighten their purse strings even more, and companies cut back on spending and delay expansion plans.

“The U.S., the U.K., Spain, Ireland, they all are going through what Japan went through a decade or so ago,” said Richard Koo, chief economist at Nomura Securities who recently wrote a book about

The downsizing of Japan’s ambitions can be seen on the streets of Tokyo, where concrete “microhouses” have become popular among younger Japanese who cannot afford even the famously cramped housing of their parents, or lack the job security to take out a traditional multi-decade loan.

These matchbox-size homes stand on plots of land barely large enough to park a sport utility vehicle, yet have three stories of closet-size bedrooms, suitcasesize closets and a tiny kitchen that properly belongs on a submarine.

“This is how to own a house, even when you are uneasy about the future,” said Kimiyo Kondo, general manager at Zaus, a Tokyo-based company that builds microhouses.

For many people under 40, it is hard to grasp just how far this is from the 1980s, when a mighty — and threatening — “Japan Inc.” seemed ready to obliterate whole American industries, from automakers to supercomputers.

Indeed, perhaps the most noticeable impact here has been Japan’s crisis of confidence. Just two decades ago, this was a vibrant nation filled with energy and ambition, proud to the point of arrogance and eager to create a new economic order in Asia based on the yen. Today, those high-flying ambitions have been shelved, replaced by weariness and fear of the future, and an almost stifling air of resignation. Japan seems to have fearfully pulled into a shell, meekly content to accept its slow fade from the global stage.

Now, as the United States and other Western nations struggle to recover from a debt and property bubble of their own, a growing number of economists are pointing to Japan as a dark vision of the future. Even as the Federal Reserve chairman, Ben Bernanke, prepares a fresh round of unconventional measures to stimulate the economy, there are growing fears that the United States and many European economies could face a prolonged period of slow growth or even, in the worst case, deflation, something not seen on a sustained basis outside Japan since the Great Depression.

Many economists remain confident that the United States will avoid the stagnation of Japan, largely because of the greater responsiveness of the American political system and Americans’ greater tolerance for capitalism’s

OSAKA, Japan — Like many members of Japan’s middle class, Masato Y. enjoyed a level of affluence two decades ago that was the envy of the world. Masato, a small-business owner, bought a $500,000 condominium, vacationed in Hawaii and drove a latemodel Mercedes.

But his living standards slowly crumbled along with Japan’s overall economy. First, he was forced to reduce trips abroad and then eliminate them. Then he traded the Mercedes for a cheaper domestic model. Last year, he sold his condo — for a third of what he paid for it and for less than what he still owed on the mortgage he took out 17 years ago.

“Japan used to be so flashy and upbeat, but now everyone must live in a dark and subdued way,” said Masato, 49, who asked that his full name not be used because he still cannot repay the $110,000 that he owes on the mortgage.

Few nations in recent history have seen such a striking reversal of economic fortune as Japan. The original Asian success story, Japan rode one of the great speculative stock and property bubbles of all time in the 1980s to become the first Asian country to challenge the long dominance of the West.

But the bubbles popped in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and Japan fell into a slow but relentless decline that neither enormous budget deficits nor a flood of easy money has reversed. For nearly a generation now, the nation has been trapped in low growth and a corrosive downward spiral of prices, known as deflation, in the process shriveling from an economic Godzilla to little more than an afterthought in the global economy.

Japan’s lessons for the world. “Millions of individuals and companies see their balance sheets going underwater, so they are using their cash to pay down debt instead of borrowing and spending.”

Countries across Europe are cutting spending and raising taxes to bring down deficits and debts that hit record levels after the 2008 financial crisis resulted in the worst recession in 70 years. Labor leaders, students and civil servants are fighting back.

YUZHOU, China — Dozens of anxious relatives and friends of 11 miners trapped underground by an explosion in central China gathered outside the site this morning while rescuers said they were fighting tons of coal dust to try to reach the workers.

The number of miners confirmed dead rose by five to 26, state media said, citing a briefing by the rescue headquarters.

China’s crisis happened as the world still was celebrating Chile’s successful rescue of 33 miners trapped for more than two months. Some in China asked whether their own officials would make as much of an effort in a similar disaster and be just as open about the progress of rescue efforts. The test came quickly for China, whose mining industry is the most dangerous in the world.

Saturday’s blast at the Pingyu Coal & Electric Co. Ltd. mine occurred as workers were drilling a hole to release pressure from a gas buildup to decrease the risk of explosions, the state work safety administration said.

PARIS — Some 3 million people took to the streets throughout France on Saturday to protest President Nicolas Sarkozy’s pension reform, unions said, as a strike by transport and oil refinery workers went into its fifth day.

As usual, the Interior Ministry saw substantially fewer demonstrators in the streets, saying in a statement that about 825,000 people protested against the reform.

The demonstrations in some 260 cities took place as strikes at all 12 of France’s refineries raised fears that airports would soon run out of fuel.

Diesel and jet fuel supplies were running low Saturday in parts of France. Fuel supplies were a prime concern as unions announced Friday that all 13 refineries in France were on strike, and many depots were blocked by protesters. Police were called in to force three crucial fuel depots to reopen, including one near the southern city of Marseille.

In Paris, balloons floated above the Place de la Republique, the starting point for Saturday’s protest against plans to make the French work until age 62 before retiring. It was the latest in a full month of protests that have swept this nation of 64 million people, affecting trains, subways, airports, hospitals, schools and other key facilities.

In fervor for voting, Looking past Nov. 2 — to recounts retirees hold a key A N A LY S I S

FORT COLLINS, Colo. — In an election year of hype and hyperbole, one fact resonates across all contests and candidates: In midterm elections, many people tune out and stay home, but older voters vote. It is a deeply rutted pattern in American history that could swing race after race.

“We’re calling them, we’re mailing them — they’re getting a tremendous amount of attention,” said Walt Klein, a longtime political consultant in Colorado who is working for Ken Buck, the tea partybacked Republican candidate for Senate.

But Buck and others, in focusing on Social Security and Medicare, are finding that the picture is more complicated than a calculation that gray hair equates to a certain position on any issue.

Like voters of all age groups everywhere, older voters here in Larimer County, an increasingly crucial area for both parties in this toss-up state, are pulled by crosscurrents just two weeks before the election. Their feelings range from despair and frustration over the country’s dysfunctional politics and economic malaise to a relative optimism for some about their adopted Colorado home.

Some retirees have backed away from politics entirely, retreating from what they feel is an overheated era of extremes.

Karen and Tom Guter moved here from Maine in 2007 and got passionately involved in the 2008 election. Today, though, they have no appetite for the hurly-burly of the campaigns, or for the volunteering they did last time, as Democrats. They will vote but are not in love with any candidate. “We’re feeling some of the same frustration that a lot of voters are,” said Tom Guter, 59. “The system can’t seem to find the middle ground.”

Tales like that of political burnout and withdrawal among older voters emerged over and over in dozens of recent interviews. For candidates, that only makes the hunt for votes more intense as they seek to engage the thousands who have flocked in recent years to retirement hot spots like Colorado, seeking sunny days and the beckoning Rockies at their doorstep.

California’s top 2 candidates skip Palin, Steele rally ANAHEIM, Calif. — What if you held a voter turnout rally and the top candidates on the ballot didn’t show up?

Michael Steele, the Republican National Committee chairman, and Sarah Palin, arguably the biggest draw in the party, found themselves in that position Saturday in Orange County in the first of two national rallies they are doing before Nov. 2. The next one is in Orlando, Fla. Steele and Palin packed a ballroom at a hotel complex near Disneyland. But Meg Whitman, GOP candidate for governor, and Carla Fiorina, GOP candidate for Senate, both skipped the event, claiming prior commitments. That said, Palin is a decidedly unpopular figure in the state.

Their absence did not appear to perturb either Palin or Steele. And the party chairman seemed intent on erasing any notion that there were tensions between the party’s establishment and the tea party. “There is no struggle, rift (or) fight,” Steele said. “ ... We are working together to defeat Obama, Reid and Pelosi.”

litical perspectives with them, shaped by contours far from the mountains of the West, and have changed the complexion of this once solidly Republican county.

Some say that a voter base that is neither quite Democrat nor Republican may be emerging.

Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and his allies, in TV broadsides last month, said Buck would favor privatizing Social Security and cutting back Medicare. Buck has fired back, saying the health care overhaul is the real threat to the elderly.

The jousting, and Bennet’s apparent popularity here, has created an alignment to court older voters. The GOP has an edge in party registration with close to 36 percent; Democrats have 28 percent and independents 34 percent.

It is Wednesday, Nov. 3, in the wee hours of the morning after election night 2010.

From Chicago to Las Vegas, from West Virginia to Colorado, exhausted campaign managers are on their BlackBerrys and iPhones, talking, e-mailing and texting with election lawyers and party operatives in Democratic and Republican bunkers in Washington.

The word on everyone’s lips?

“Recount.”

As the sun rises, final returns will begin to trickle in from the most remote precincts and the most disorganized counties. Problems with provisional ballots will emerge in some states. Issues with absentee ballots will develop in others. Disputes will crop up; battle lines will be drawn. And a recount — or two or three — will arise somewhere, throwing the results of the 2010 midterms into doubt and leaving the fate of the House or, more likely, the Senate up in the air.

Could it come to that? It did in 2008, when the recount in Minnesota’s Senate race between Democratic challenger Al Franken and Republican incumbent Norm Coleman helped nail down the 60th and (if only for a brief time) filibuster-busting seat for the Democrats. The process took eight months and showed that Franken won by 312 votes out of nearly 3 million cast. Six months after he was sworn in, Franken voted for national health care reform; the recount affected policy and changed history.

Now, with two weeks until Election Day, polls show that at least a half-dozen Senate races are too close to call, and perhaps four or five times as many House contests are undecided.

Of course, not all of these races will end in uncertainty, but on Nov. 3, the country could wake up and find it has several recounts on its hands.

With the lessons and emotions of Minnesota 2008 and Florida 2000 lingering, recounts will almost certainly trigger an all-out assault from Washington-based election stars such as Marc Elias, who oversaw Franken’s legal team; Ben Ginsberg, who was instrumental in helping George W. Bush beat Al Gore; and Chris Sautter, the Democratic recount guru who has been involved in just about

During the presidential recount in 2000, though Democrats in Florida mobilized intensively and relentlessly in support of Al Gore, they were outnumbered, and outorganized, by Republicans, who seemed to be at every corner demonstration and counting hall in those frantic weeks. Above, Charles Burton, chairman of the West Palm Beach County canvassing board, takes a look at a ballot as John Bolton, a Republican attorney (and later George W. Bush’s U.N. ambassador) moves in for a closer look in November 2000. every major recount since 1984.

The parties are already mobilizing their volunteers and lawyers.

No recount is identical Election laws and standards vary from state to state, so no recount is the same. (Bush versus Gore was about shutting down the Florida recount, for instance, while Franken versus Coleman was about looking under every rock for more votes.)

But they get verified differently.

Some states have mandatory recounts, triggered by margins of less than, say, one-half of 1 percent.

Others, such as Nevada, which could be a centerpiece recount site next month, simply allow the trailing candidate to call for a re-

count, if he or she thinks victory is at hand and is willing to pay for it.

Though flipping an election result via a recount is unusual.

Still, if a candidate really wants to “pull an Al Franken” — as tea party challenger Joe Miller suggested Sen. Lisa Murkowski might be doing when she hired a lawyer to prepare for a possible recount in Alaska’s Republican primary in August — or, for that matter, “pull a Bush” (minus the help of the Supreme Court), there is much to be learned from those 2000 and 2008 recount battles.

A few key lessons Here’s a short guide for voters (and candidates): • If you’re a candidate who

hasn’t hired a recount lawyer yet, you’re probably too late. In 2008, Franken’s campaign had a local lawyer working on detailed recount plans a month before the election, way before Coleman’s side. You also need to prepare early for a potential trial, or at least a series of recount-related legal hearings. In 2008, Franken’s lead trial lawyer was on-site in November prepping for any courtroom action; Coleman didn’t hire his lead trial lawyer until days before proceedings began in January.

• Set some campaign funds aside to cover costs. Few recounts are likely to cost the $20 million that Coleman and Franken combined to spend during their saga, but generally they cost a bundle.

In 2000, the Gore and Bush camps spent a total of $17 million during their 36-day recount.

• As the recount unfolds, understand that it exists on three levels: legal, political and public relations.

To help control the narrative, candidates should identify a strong spokesperson and stick with him or her. In 2000, James Baker became the credible face and voice of the Bush recount effort. Elias, based in Washington, was Franken’s surrogate in Minnesota.

The Democrats learned from their 2000 Florida defeat that they needed to be more aggressive.

They brought that attitude to the 2008 Minnesota recount, which is where the GOP discovered it needed to be more prepared, more data-focused and more exacting in its legal work the next time.

That time is coming soon. It begins in the wee hours of Nov. 3.

Dogs Continued from A1 There are a total of three dogs that have been designated dangerous in Bend.

The purpose of the new tag and microchip requirement is to make it easier for police to identify repeat offenders. And because the penalty for a dog violating its probation by biting someone is death — “That’s the two strikes and you’re out rule,” Davis says — this hasn’t always been easy.

For instance, Davis had one case in which a poodle with a history of roaming the neighborhood without its owner had killed a cat in someone’s front lawn while a young child watched. When officers confronted the suspected poodle’s owner, Davis said the dog had been shaved and painted pink. Since the “pinkish-brown” dog didn’t match the child’s description, Davis said there was nothing the police could do.

Other ways people have tried to mislead investigations is by giving fake pet names or having someone else claim ownership of an animal. There was even one case where a pitbull mix named Gator stayed with a rental home, and every time someone new moved in, he got a different name, confounding officers who weren’t familiar with him.

With the new tags and microchip system, Davis said, these scenarios can be eliminated.

“There needed to be some type of way that we knew that a dog was not supposed to be out biting people or running the streets,” he said. “When we see that dangerous dog tag, we know that dog is on probation and has restrictions from running at large, and we know that dog needs to be looked at more carefully.”

The new addition to Bend’s dangerous dog law hasn’t been without its problems, however.

According to Assistant City Attorney Gary Firestone, there was a “somewhat embarrassing” omission when the law was updated in May, causing the City Council to touch up the ordinance this month.

“Somebody had the bright idea to amend the definition of animal to not include cat,” Firestone said, because police didn’t want to spend their days chasing strays that were off-leash. “It had the unintended consequence that if a dog harassed a cat it was not harassing an animal.”

This essentially gave dogs a free pass for attacking cats. But by keeping felines out of the ordinance it also meant cats couldn’t be included under the dangerous animal provision.

While this normally wouldn’t seem like a problem, there was a recent spate of cat attacks that spurred the recent change.

According to police, the cats, owned by a man who has ridden around town with pet carriers strapped to his bike, attacked a couple of people. And in September, a cross-eyed cat named Skitz escaped from his apartment, bit and clawed a man’s arm and gave three officers fits when they tried to catch him.

“It was kind of a strange call,” Community Service Officer Jason Gault said about trying to wrangle Skitz. “It looked like a normal cat — fluffy, nice — and then when you got close to it, it just got angry.”

Because there wasn’t anything in Bend’s code pertaining to dangerous cats, this left the officer without many options. Skitz’s owner gave up on him, and the last Gault heard the cat had been scheduled to be put down.

As for Trixie, she hasn’t received her dangerous dog tag yet, though her owner, Yochum, said she plans to get one for her soon.

While she understands the reason Trixie has been deemed dangerous, Yochum said some of the rules seem “silly.”

“I feel like a lot of the penalties are a bit harsh for what she’s done,” Yochum said, adding that when she adopted Trixie, she was told the dog was abused as a puppy.

“I don’t think she’s a dangerous dog,” she said. “I think that she’s a cautious dog, and you do have to take caution around her. You never know what a dog’s history is.”

Oil change reignites Microsoft takes steps to protect dissidents GPS tracking debate

By Clifford J. Levy

New York Times News Service

The GPS monitoring device found on Yasir Afifi’s car in Santa Clara, Calif. The 20year-old took his car in for an oil change earlier this month, and his mechanic spotted a wire hanging from the undercarriage. The wire was attached to a global positioning system tracking device owned by the FBI; it’s now at the center of a legal debate over privacy.

By Paul Elias The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Yasir Afifi, a 20-year-old computer salesman and community college student, took his car in for an oil change earlier this month, and his mechanic spotted an odd wire hanging from the undercarriage.

The wire was attached to a strange magnetic device that puzzled Afifi and the mechanic. They freed it from the car and posted images of it online, asking for help in identifying it.

Two days later, FBI agents arrived at Afifi’s Santa Clara apartment and demanded the return of their property — a global positioning system tracking device now at the center of a raging legal debate over privacy rights.

One federal judge wrote that the widespread use of the device was straight out of George Orwell’s novel, “1984.”

“By holding that this kind of surveillance doesn’t impair an individual’s reasonable expectation of privacy, the panel hands the government the power to track the movements of every one of us, every day of our lives,” wrote Alex Kozinski, the chief judge of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a blistering dissent in which a three-judge panel from his court ruled that search warrants weren’t necessary for GPS tracking.

But other federal and state courts have come to the opposite conclusion.

Law enforcement advocates for the devices say GPS can eliminate time-consuming stakeouts and old-fashioned “tails” with unmarked police cars. The technology had a starring role in the HBO copsand-robbers series “The Wire,” and police use it to track every type of suspect — from terrorist to thieves stealing copper from air conditioners.

That investigators don’t need a warrant to use GPS tracking devices in California troubles privacy advocates, technophiles, criminal defense attorneys and others.

The federal appeals court based in Washington, D.C., said in August that investigators must obtain a warrant for GPS in tossing out the conviction and life sentence of Antoine Jones, a nightclub owner convicted of operating a cocaine distribution ring.

That court concluded that the accumulation of four weeks’ worth of data collected from a GPS on Jones’ Jeep amounted to a government “search” that required a search warrant.

Judge Douglas Ginsburg said watching Jones’ Jeep for an entire month rather than trailing him on one trip made all the difference between surveilling a suspect on public property and a search needing court approval.

The Obama administration last month asked the D.C. federal appeals court to change

its ruling, calling the decision “vague and unworkable,” and arguing that investigators will lose access to a tool they now use “with great frequency.”

After the D.C. appeals court decision, the 9th Circuit refused to revisit its opposite ruling.

The panel had concluded that agents could have gathered the same information by following Juan Pineda-Moreno, who was convicted of marijuana distribution after a GPS device alerted agents he was leaving a suspected “grow site.”

Two other federal appeals courts have ruled similarly.

In his dissent, Chief Judge Kozinski noted that GPS technology is far different from tailing a suspect on a public road, which requires the active participation of investigators.

“The devices create a permanent electronic record that can be compared, contrasted and coordinated to deduce all manner of private information about individuals,” Kozinksi wrote.

Legal scholars predict the U.S. Supreme Court will ultimately resolve the issue since so many courts disagree.

George Washington University law professor Orin Kerr said the issue boils down to public versus private. As long as the GPS devices are attached to vehicles on public roads, Kerr believes the U.S. Supreme Court will decide no warrant is needed. To decide otherwise, he said, would ignore a long line of previous 4th Amendment decisions allowing for warrantless searches as long as they’re conducted on public property.

“The historic line is that public surveillance is not covered by the 4th Amendment,” Kerr said.

All of which makes Afifi’s lawyer pessimistic that he has much of a chance to file a successful lawsuit challenging the FBI’s actions. Afifi is represented by Zahra Billoo of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the country’s largest Islamic civil rights group.

Afifi declined comment after

spending last week fielding myriad media inquiries after wired .com posted the story of his routine oil change, and it went viral on the Internet.

Still, Billoo hopes the discovered GPS tracking device will help publicize in dramatic fashion the issue of racial profiling the lawyer says Arab-Americans routinely encounter.

She said Afifi was targeted because of his extensive ties to the Middle East, which include supporting two brothers who live in Egypt and making frequent overseas trips. His father was a well-known Islamic-American community leader who died last year in Egypt.

“Yasir hasn’t done anything to warrant that kind of surveillance,” Billoo said. “This was a blatant example of profiling.”

MOSCOW — Microsoft is vastly expanding its efforts to prevent governments from using software piracy inquiries as a pretext to suppress dissent. It plans to provide free software licenses to more than 500,000 advocacy groups, independent media outlets and other nonprofit organizations in 12 countries with tightly controlled governments, including Russia and China.

With the new program in place, authorities in these countries would have no legal basis for accusing these groups of installing pirated Microsoft software.

Microsoft began overhauling its anti-piracy policy after The New York Times reported last month that private lawyers retained by the company had often supported law enforcement officials in Russia in crackdowns on outspoken advocacy groups and opposition newspapers.

At first, Microsoft responded to the article by apologizing and saying it would focus on protecting these organizations in Russia from such inquiries.

But it is extending the program to other countries: eight former Soviet republics — Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan — as well as China, Malaysia and Vietnam.

Microsoft executives said they would consider adding more.

“We clearly have a very strong interest in ensuring that

any anti-piracy activities are being done for the purpose of reducing illegal piracy, and not for other purposes,” said Nancy Anderson, a deputy general counsel and vice president at Microsoft. “Under the terms of our new nongovernmental organization software license, we will definitely not have any claims and not pursue any claims against nongovernmental organizations.”

Software piracy inquiries against advocacy groups and media outlets in other former Soviet republics are less common than in Russia, but they have occurred.

This year, the police in Kyrgyzstan raided an independent television station, and its employees said a lawyer retained by Microsoft had played a role.

Software piracy is widespread in the 12 countries covered by the new program, and Microsoft has long urged their governments to curb the practice. But in Russia, the company discovered that the authorities used the intellectual property laws against dissenters.

The security services in Russia have confiscated computers from dozens of advocacy organizations in recent years under the guise of anti-piracy inquiries. Some of these groups did have illegal software, and the authorities have said they are carrying out legitimate efforts to curtail software piracy. But they almost never investigate organizations allied with the government.

“We are going to adopt completely the standards of developed countries. If Chile wants to be a developed country, it’s not just to be able to sit down at the same table with European countries.

It’s also to treat our workers as if we were a developed country.”

— President Sebastian Pinera

Chile Continued from A1 On a national level, Pinera made good on a central campaign promise: to govern with the obsessive efficiency of a business. More important, he showed the model can work.

Chile’s business model While always appearing in charge, Pinera empowered Chile’s most experienced mining engineers to do whatever necessary to get the job done. The team he assembled quickly brought in some of the world’s best engineers, drillers and scientists, along with powerful drilling rigs worth millions of dollars.

Like any effective CEO, Pinera delegated and then got out of the way, visiting the rescue effort only a few times before the triumphant finale.

“The instruction from President Pinera was always: Get them out using all available resources,” said Interior Ministry official Cristian Barra, who oversaw the logistics.

Pinera’s handling of the timeline was particularly artful.

Soon after the miners were discovered alive Aug. 22, Pinera and top rescue officials repeatedly said it would take up to four months to drill deep enough to reach the men. Pinera even went so far as to say he “hoped” to have them out by Christmas.

The lengthy timeline never squared with experts’ shorter estimates or the capacity of the three drills that raced to reach the men. However, the strategy allowed Pinera to avoid unmet expectations and overdeliver in a huge way. The government has repeatedly denied claims that it manipulated the timeline, arguing that drilling is an imperfect science impossible to predict with precision. But the “Plan B” drill finally broke through to the miners on Oct. 9, a day ahead of the rescue team’s internal estimate.

By all accounts, the billionaire politician’s management of the rescue has translated into stronger support. Only 46 percent of Chileans approved of Pinera’s government in July, according to

The Associated Press

A boy holds up a flag that waved in southern Chile during February’s devastating earthquake near images of the then-trapped miners near Copiapo, Chile, on Tuesday. The first rescued miners out of the hospital Friday celebrated their new lives as national heroes, and their country is doing a little celebrating itself, too. “This has united Chile,” a wife of one miner says. “And the whole world has watched us.” the independent Adimark polling company. That jumped to 53 percent in September, with 74 percent agreeing that Pinera personally is capable of confronting a crisis and solving problems.

Political analysts believe the most recent polls will show an even bigger spike.

No stranger to disaster That is a huge boost for a president who won last year’s election by a small margin, becoming the first elected right-wing leader in a half-century. Pinera took over only days after February’s devastating earthquake, and outgoing Michelle Bachelet’s 84 percent approval ratings were undented by sharp criticism for her government’s fumbled tsunami warning and her daylong delay in deploying soldiers to the disaster area.

His handling of the rescue could fortify his domestic agenda and help his center-right National Renewal Party take a

larger share of center-left voters, including the poor, a segment of the population where he has had little support.

Indeed, Pinera was sounding very much like his populist South American neighbors in rousing speeches as the miners were being pulled out, promising that his government would bring about a “radical change” in how Chile enforces workplace safety regulations.

“Business executives must take better care of their employees, because the principal wealth of our country isn’t copper, it’s the miners. It isn’t natural resources, it’s the Chileans,” he said. “We are going to adopt completely the standards of developed countries. If Chile wants to be a developed country, it’s not just to be able to sit down at the same table with European countries. It’s also to treat our workers as if we were a developed country.”

safety regulations and boosted the budget for the mine safety bureau, which had only three inspectors to oversee hundreds of mines in the mineral-rich Atacama.

“The lesson of the San Jose Mine will never be forgotten,” Pinera said Thursday, moments before he met with the 33 miners at the regional hospital in Copiapo, near the mine.

The cause of the collapse remains under formal investigation. Twenty-seven of the miners are suing the mine’s owners.

Pinera began a weeklong European tour Saturday with plans to meet with Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron and Queen Elizabeth, as well as the leaders of France and Germany. While his rescue team was working to reach the miners, he met in the United States with Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Apple chairman

Crackdown after mine collapse leaves other Chilean miners feeling excluded TIERRA AMARILLA, Chile — A miner for 45 years, Fernando Rivadeneira has a knack for reading the geological signposts that can lead to the mother lode, tons of high-priced copper here in northern Chile.

More than 260 feet down a craggy, forbidding shaft that he himself punched into the Earth, Rivadeneira pointed a flashlight at a seam, a clue that made his eyes glitter.

“I have to go 200 meters, and I’ll get where I need to go,” he said, waving his hand toward a wall of rock he wanted to pulverize.

But these days, Rivadeneira and many of his fellow miners here in the Atacama Desert are going nowhere. The collapse of the San Jose Mine, which trapped 33 men for 69 days until their dramatic rescue Wednesday, led to a government crackdown on an industry that provides 40 percent of the state’s revenues and employs 170,000 people.

New rules have closed dozens of mines or restricted operations until tunnels are shored up, escape shafts are dug and ventilation is improved.

“This is all paralyzed now,” said

Steve Jobs, Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“This has made him an international star, but that will be short lived,” said Patricio Navia, a professor of Latin American studies at New York University.

“The international perception that will stick around will be that the Chilean government can do great things.”

Into the 21st century And that could bolster Chile’s image as the most stable and efficient economy in Latin America, potentially attracting more foreign investment and tourism.

Transforming Chile into a First World country is a much more gargantuan task than safely pulling 33 miners to the surface.

About 15 percent of the coun-

Rivadeneira, whose father, grandfather and great-grandfather all mined here.

The mine collapse that riveted the world ended in triumph for Chile, touching off wild celebrations that were no more heartfelt than in gritty, blue-collar towns like Tierra Amarilla, where miners make their homes.

But the accident at San Jose not only exposed a checkered safety record at the mine. It also highlighted the inherent perils of mining, no matter how developed Chile has become.

Many miners, and the associations that represent them, note that mining accidents and fatalities have dropped off in Chile, which has some of the toughest regulations in the region. “We have a sixth of the accidents and a fourth of the fatalities that we had in the ’70s and ’80s,” said Ivan Cerda, a director of the National Mining Society, which represents mine owners. “The fact that this accident happened is nothing normal in Chile. It is really the exception.” Still, 31 miners have died so far this year.

Pinera still has many social problems to confront, such as inequalities in education and income, increasing health care costs and the complaints of the Mapuches, an indigenous group intent on reclaiming its land.

Still, central to any achievement is the belief that it can be done, and watching a harrowing rescue pulled off in textbook manner has affected how Chileans see themselves.

“This has united Chile,” said Cecilia Aguirre, 40, wife of a miner. “And the whole world has watched us.”

Schools Continued from A1 “There could be different ways that people advance and are compensated, and so on,” BendLa Pine Superintendent Ron Wilkinson said. “I think that’s kind of the ultimate dream behind it.”

Right now, the three districts are engaged in a second year of planning. Then, using the federal Teacher Incentive Fund grant, the districts will begin implementing their plans with a goal of improving student performance.

The federal grant will pay for the plans in the short term.

Wilkinson thinks initially the greatest difference will be in the evaluation process teachers go through.

“We have the framework that’s been in place for over a decade that’s identified the standards of what we expect teachers to be able to do,” he said.

“The framework is there, but we don’t have a system that does a very good job of checking on that framework.”

Part of the idea is to create a team of people in each school that will help the principal with evaluations.

“The complaint always is that the (evaluator) role gets minimized or set aside, or it isn’t done with as much time and energy,” Wilkinson said.

Included in the evaluations will also likely be how much training teachers have taken advantage of, and student performance, although Wilkinson stressed the evaluation will not be based entirely on state tests.

When it comes to compensation models, Bend-La Pine Schools’ plan is clear.

Compensation models “We are committed to developing new compensation models for teachers that do not reduce the current amount of compensation paid to a teacher and that provide additional compensation for effective teachers” based on teacher responsibilities, accomplishments and student achievement.

Among the goals of altering how teachers are paid are incorporating student achievement results and adding compensation for increased teacher roles.

But the compensation piece of the district’s plan is the least developed because the group wants to focus on evaluations before finalizing a new compensation model. In its plan, the district has not included an estimate of how much a new compensation model might cost or how it would be funded.

“Ultimately, part of the criteria we’re advancing for compensation is that comprehensive evaluation system,” Wilkinson said.

“The other piece is finding better ways to recognize and reward additional leadership roles and responsibility.”

Bend-La Pine is an evaluation district for the federal Teacher Incentive Fund program.

Because of that, two types of compensation models will be rolled out in Bend-La Pine Schools when the district moves forward with the CLASS Project.

Bonus plans vary According to Wilkinson, the idea is that half of the district’s participating schools will receive a 1 percent bonus, and half of those schools will have differentiated bonuses based on evaluations and student performance.

Evaluators of the project will select which schools participate in which compensation model.

Wilkinson said there are more questions than answers with the program right now.

The federal grant would pay for the bonuses, and Wilkinson said the district is looking for more grants to fund the program in the remainder of the schools.

Once the federal test is complete, the district would likely put in place its CLASS plan, depending on funding.

“We truly are one of the evaluation districts in the federal project, and what they’re trying to do is put some quality basic research components in place so they really have a control group and a test group,” he said. “It will ultimately be a test of whether doing differentiated incentives makes any difference with student achievement.”

Much of Redmond’s and Crook County’s plans are similar to the ideas in Bend-La Pine’s plan.

Career pathways The new proposed career pathways for teachers are similar across the three districts.

In Bend-La Pine, they’re called emerging professional, professional and advanced professional. The professional or advanced

professional could seek out expanded leadership roles like mentor teacher or curriculum and instructional leader.

In Crook County, the career pathways plan breaks teachers into entry level, proficient and distinguished, and allows proficient and above to go into administration, while those who are distinguished can advance to being an instructional coach, a mentor or a master teacher.

Crook County’s professional development plan varies for teachers of different levels. For example, an entry-level teacher would work on areas like communication with staff and parents and classroom management; proficient teachers would learn to maintain a portfolio and to maintain professional development goals; distinguished teachers would develop mentoring skills and participate in leadership training.

Although it’s not finalized, Crook’s salary schedule could change so that there are three columns, for probationary, proficient and master teachers.

That would be a change from the current salary schedule used by most districts that rewards teachers with steps for years in the classroom and education levels.

Earning rewards In addition to raises based on years in the classroom, teachers could also earn rewards like release or collaboration time, stipends and alternative schedules.

Crook County School Board member Patti Norris said she’s been pleased thus far with the work that’s been done with the CLASS Project.

“At least for me, I’ve really enjoyed sitting with teachers and administrators working together to come up with solutions that will not only improve our student performance but make our teachers happier,” she said.

Redmond teachers will also fall into three groups in the new career path plan. There would be emerging teachers, who are new to the profession or the district, as well as proficient teachers and resource teachers.

To move from one area to the next, teachers will have to develop professional growth plans and create professional portfolios that are reviewed by peer review committees.

Resource teachers would be available across the district to other teachers; they could become resources for the district in classroom techniques, schoolwide systems, districtwide systems or a specific subject.

Star teachers staying in the classroom “Right now, the path that a teacher has available if they want to be promoted or make more money, they become an administrator,” said Lynn Evans, the Redmond human resources director who is overseeing the district’s CLASS Project. “That takes them out of the classroom, where we really need our star players to be. We would like to provide leadership opportunities that don’t take the teacher out of the classroom per se.”

The district hopes to use inhouse experts more often in professional development and also to provide more time for collaboration among teachers.

Evans said the evaluation piece of the project will likely have the most effect on teachers and schools.

“I think we have a huge opportunity to improve,” she said. “We need to create a system that is really designed less for compliance and more around the purpose of (improving) teacher quality, and then being able to link that information that we collect through the evaluation process to what we do with professional development.”

Evans believes linking those two, rather than conducting an evaluation and then putting it in a teacher’s file, can really help student performance.

She noted the group hasn’t spent much time, just yet, on the compensation piece of the plan.

“We’d like to get creative,” Evans said. “The system that’s been in place for years and years is the one we live under now, and it seems like it’s time to take a look at it.”

The Redmond school plan for new compensation models would include awarding compensation incentives for teams of teachers who succeed in particular areas, as well as opportunities to advance more quickly.

The new salary schedule would be more simple, with less emphasis on education levels and additional college coursework. That may mean less funding for tuition reimbursement.

The district would also potentially offer “life credit,” for teachers who enter the profession as a career change, and also provide credit for teachers who come to the district from private or charter schools.

And the district wants to consider more leave for resource teachers and health benefit cost savings for some employees. But Evans said because of recent funding cuts, the district knows it does not have the resources to put the compensation plan in place. No estimates on the cost of compensation plans were available.

“Teacher quality is the single greatest factor that impacts student achievement,” Evans said.

“Our professional development team this year, one of their main objectives and goals is to bring early release to Redmond so teachers have time for quality professional development.”

UPCOMING U.S. MILITARY REPORT CARD

Progress claimed in Afghan war

By Joshua Partlow The Washington Post

KABUL, Afghanistan — With a year-end report card coming due, top U.S. military and civilian officials in Afghanistan have begun to assert that they see concrete progress in the war against the Taliban, a sharp departure from earlier assessments that the insurgency had the momentum.

Despite growing numbers of Taliban attacks and American casualties, U.S. officials are building their case for why they are

on the right track, ahead of the December war review ordered by President Barack Obama. They describe an aggressive campaign that has killed or captured hundreds of Taliban leaders and more than 3,000 fighters around the country in recent months. At the same time, they say, the Afghan army is bigger and better trained.

Officials point in particular to the southern province of Helmand, where U.S. troops are most densely concentrated. They say pockets of relative security

are spreading where the Taliban once held sway, noting bustling bazaars and new schools.

“Compared to where we were a year ago, we’re seeing some positive trends emerging,” said U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, who last year had warned that it would be risky to send new troops to Afghanistan.

As political pressure mounts for evidence that the United States and its allies are not hopelessly mired in Afghanistan, military officials here say the time has passed

Taliban Continued from A1 It’s possible, too, in the darker scenarios, that both of those efforts will fail, and that the Americans, having lost patience with this long and exhausting fight, will begin drawing down next year with fewer prospects for a successful end.

“We’re not ready to make any judgments about whether or not any of this will bear fruit,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said about making deals with the Taliban.

Indeed, the biggest change in the past couple of weeks seemed to be the heightened sense of urgency among American officials to accelerate the pace of events — not just on the ground and in the calculations of the Taliban’s leaders, but also in the minds of the American people, whose patience appears to be rapidly draining away.

The Iraq strategy

U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan’s volatile Kandahar province. Americans keep fighting as strategists try to get the Taliban to peace talks. tions forces are now operating at a tempo five times that of a year ago, killing and capturing hundreds of insurgents each month. In the same period, the number of bombs and missiles aimed at insurgents has grown by half. And Petraeus has launched a series of operations to clear insurgents from a southern city of Kandahar.

The hope, as Petraeus has said repeatedly, is that the military operations will push the Taliban, or some of them, to reach an accommodation with Afghan leaders.

Since early last year, when Barack Obama took office, the overriding objective of American policy has been to persuade the Taliban to abandon any hope of victory. It was to make that point that 30,000 additional troops were sent here. Then Obama declared that he would start withdrawing Pakistan’s role those troops beginning July 11.

that no deal between the Taliban and the Afghan government can last without Pakistani support.

Both the Afghans and the Taliban have learned that lesson the hard way. Earlier this year, when Afghan officials and Taliban leaders were quietly reaching out to each other, Pakistan’s intelligence services detained as many as 23 Taliban leaders inside the country whom they suspected of taking part in the negotiations.

to deplore deficiencies of manpower or strategy. Obama’s 30,000 new troops are on the ground. The United States’ most celebrated general is at the helm. And the deadline Obama set to begin withdrawal is nine months away.

Even as U.S. officials here echo that assessment, they have offered relatively little evidence to back up their claims of progress, and many still hesitate to say that successes against the Taliban in certain pockets add up to the war’s pendulum swinging their way.

anonymity, a Taliban base was standing in Pakistani territory about 500 yards from the Pakistani police station — in full view and apparently free to operate.

Of the other options, that leaves coaxing individual Talib commanders away from the movement. Small groups of insurgents have been surrendering since the war began in 2001, but never in great numbers. An ambitious Western-backed program to lure the fighters away with job training and guarantees of security lies virtually dormant — the result, U.S. officials say, of the failure of Afghan officials to carry it out.

Which brings us back to the battlefield. The high season for fighting typically winds down in December and picks up again in the spring. NATO officers say one measure of the effectiveness of their military operations will come when the winter ends; if the Taliban leaders have difficulty replenishing their ranks, they may be more inclined to make a deal.

And if they come back as strong as before?

“Then we’ll know,” the NATO officer said, “that it didn’t work.”

In Afghan south, troops face frustrated residents New York Times News Service KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — U.S. forces have begun longplanned operations to regain control of the districts surrounding Kandahar city. These include Panjwai, a fertile farming district to the southwest, where families who vacated the area recently say there has been heavy shooting and bombardment.

If previous operations are anything to go by, troops can expect to encounter a region badly damaged by five years of fighting, and a wary and frustrated population that has been left disillusioned by past engagements.

While most people have fled, those who remain are distrustful and complain they are trapped

between insurgents and foreign forces, often suffering destruction for which villagers say they remain uncompensated.

The influx of an extra 50,000 U.S. troops since 2009 has allowed NATO to develop a counterinsurgency strategy that improves security, and focuses more on protecting the civilian population and villages.

The Canadian forces have a detailed system of compensation for farmers and villagers who have lost family, property or livelihoods. Afghans can submit claims and must provide photos or confirmation from a village elder, said Lt. Commander Saloumeh Turani, who runs the program in Kandahar.

Little interest in a deal This time around, though, Pakistani officials appear to have signed off on the talks. “They got a little nervous,” a NATO official said over the summer. “But they are feeling more secure now. They wanted to be included.”

Still, there’s not much evidence that either the Pakistanis or the Taliban have much interest in making a deal — not yet, anyway. For all the military force being applied by the United States, the Taliban do not appear to have lost any of their lethality; more American and NATO soldiers have died in 2010 than in any other year since 2001.

And there is little reason to believe that Pakistan’s security services are preparing to sever their ties with the Afghan insurgents, whom they have long regarded as an insurance policy against a precipitous American departure.

Earlier this month, the Pakistani government refused to allow NATO convoys to pass for more than a week, following an American airstrike on a Pakistani police compound; the American aircraft had crossed into Pakistani airspace while pursuing a group of Taliban fighters who had crossed from Afghanistan.

The Pakistanis expressed outrage at the American intrusion.

But according to a NATO official, who spoke on the condition of

Ski club seeks funds for a yurt at Meissner

Jeremy Bowman takes aim while competing in the Cascade Classic Cornhole Challenge. Some players brought their own corn-filled bags to the event.

or a town that loves its beer, it’s a wonder Bend has been so slow to join the cornhole party.

A staple of beery, Midwestern tailgate parties for years, cornhole drew a Central Oregon crowd on Saturday morning, with 29 two-person teams gathered in the parking lot of Baldy’s Barbeque on Century Drive for the first Cascade Classic Cornhole Challenge.

Players paid $50 a team to enter the tournament, a fundraiser for the Bend Spay and Neuter Project. Clinic Manager Megan Wellinghoff said the nonprofit clinic provides spaying, neutering and vaccination services to low-income pet owners, and has performed nearly 23,000 surgeries since 2005.

Similar to horseshoes, cornhole is played

with cloth bags filled with dry corn, tossed at a hole cut in the top of a wooden platform. A bag through the hole scores three points, while one landed on the platform counts for one point.

Brian Dioguardi, the Baldy of Baldy’s Barbeque, grew up playing cornhole, but had scarcely seen a game since leaving his hometown of Chicago. He happened across a small cornhole fundraiser tournament for Bend’s Ronald McDonald House last year, and when organizers approached him about hosting Saturday’s event at his restaurant, he jumped at the chance.

Dioguardi said he’s refined his cornhole technique over the years, and now has a flat toss with a slight spin, allowing the bag to turn toward the hole once it hits the platform.

That said, Dioguardi is not a big believer in endless practice or overthinking the game.

The yurt, which would probably be about 30 feet across, would be a place for people to sit, warm up and possibly buy hot chocolate or some food — a “nice community place for people to gather,” he said.

The yurt could cost up to $15,000, he said. However, the club has already received about $6,000 from family and friends of Jane Tormey, who donated money to name the shelter as a memorial to her. And Navish is working on finding a source for the rest of the money — if it comes through, the group hopes to set up the yurt this winter, he said.

“With this sort of thing, the sooner the better,” Navish said.

Volunteers are working at Meissner this weekend to prepare for the upcoming ski season, he said. Some are building a fence along the edge of the sno-park to help direct people to the main entrance, while others are building a new woodshed for the Meissner Shelter built last year.

A D WAT C H The Bulletin will fact-check campaign ads leading up to the November election.

Stiegler ad emphasizes Conger spot nearly correct successes, overdoing some but is lacking in context The candidate: State Rep. Judy Stiegler, D-Bend, incumbent for House District 54 The ad: In Stiegler’s new radio ad, “Stand,” a narrator says that the incumbent could have “grandstanded and made big speeches,” but instead used her first term to fight for Bend and stand up for what she believed in.

The claims: The ad says Stiegler voted to cut $2 billion from the budget, and “Judy went after the frills we just can’t afford, like $10 million for state cars and over $1 million for cell phones.” It also says that “Judy cut the fat so she could defend the things that matter most: a full school year for our kids, troopers around the clock on our highways, in-home care for seniors.” The narrator adds

that “Conger would have said no to our kids, no to our safety, no to our seniors.”

Our verdict: There is no real basis for Stiegler’s claim to have actively questioned funding for new state cars and cell phones. However, the ad does highlight a difference between candidates on votes that would have affected funding for services.

Stiegler, like most lawmakers, voted for a budget that made $2 billion in program cuts from the level projected as necessary to maintain current services. This was part of the requirement that the Legislature submit a balanced budget.

The candidate: Jason Conger, Republican nominee for House District 54 The ad: “Stiegler higher taxes,” Conger’s new TV spot, starts with what looks like a billboard set against a blue sky. On it, a grainy black and white video shows Democratic incumbent Judy Stiegler, while headline excerpts flash and a narrator speaks.

The billboard shifts to statements characterizing Stiegler’s record, then is replaced by fullscreen, full-color video showing Conger walking and talking with people. The background music turns upbeat, and the narrator says Conger will create jobs.

The claims: The ad says that

when unemployment was in double digits, Stiegler voted for 38 out of 39 tax and fee increases, including “higher income taxes.” It also says she “grew state government” by “over $4 billion.”

Our verdict: The ad is close to correct on its tally of votes, but leaves out important context — such as that 97.5 percent of Oregonians were directly shielded from the increase in personal income tax that the ad highlights.

In 2009, facing a roughly $4 billion projected hole in the state’s general fund budget, Stiegler — along with most Democrats and two Republicans in the House — voted for a bill that increased income taxes on the highestearning 2.5 percent of Oregonians.

Eugene studio lets boys give ballet a twirl

By Randi Bjornstad The (Eugene) Register-Guard

EUGENE — The Oregon Ballet Academy has the usual throng of girls in ballet flats and leotards practicing their pirouettes and assuming their attitudes, which in ballet doesn’t mean being impudent but standing on one leg with the other lifted at a 90-degree angle.

But the academy also has something different than most: It has a bunch of boys just as dedicated to turnout, battement and jete as their female counterparts. The main difference is that the studio offers a weekly class just for boys, and it’s free.

In the two years since they began their boys-only program, husband-and-wife OBA owners John Grensback and Megan Murphy have seen their male enrollment grow from a handful to several dozen, ranging in age from 9 years to college age.

“We really wanted to do a program for boys, but we knew it would be hard to get them to come

Paul Carter / The (Eugene) Register-Guard

Nine-year-old Nathan Rowell and his classmates attend the Oregon Ballet Academy last month in Eugene. The boys’ class at the studio regularly has 30 students, with sometimes as many as 40. because ballet isn’t something most boys think about doing,” Murphy said. “But we were able to get some grants, and John does

the teaching. It’s great to see what these boys have accomplished.”

Boys who want more than one class a week enroll in coed

classes, and the sexes also mix during rehearsals, performances and special academy-wide social events.

The boys’ class regularly has upward of 30 students enrolled, and sometimes it swells to at least 40. “It’s their own class, different from the girls’ classes,” Murphy said. “They do pushups, leaps, turns, big jumps — and they love it.”

Not only that, but some of the students, including Mayim Stiller, have excelled to the point that they can set their sights on a professional career.

“I’ve loved dance ever since I was a really little kid,” said Stiller, who turns 16 in December. “I did salsa dancing and hip-hop lessons first, and that was fun, but it was the year after I started ballet that I started thinking of dance as a career. I absolutely love all kinds of dance, but I really see ballet as my future.”

He started dancing with Grensback at OBA four years ago, back when there might be at most two

or three boys in a class. Now, he hopes that in a year — two at the most — he will be dancing in an apprenticeship program with a major dance company.

“I work pretty hard,” Stiller said. “Dancing as much as I do now is like having a part-time job.

My social life is mostly my ballet friends, and then I have school.

That’s what I do.”

Grensback’s teaching “is really excellent,” he said. “He challenges you to go as far as you can and then a little further. Even if you can’t do something completely at first, eventually you get to the point where you can do it. It’s one of his strengths.”

But ballet, Grensback-style, is not for sissies. “You have to be really strong — you have to learn how to hold your arms, jump high and hold your leg out straight, and that takes a lot of strength,” Stiller said.

“It’s not simple to lift a girl above your head, and we have to be able to do that. I do at least 200 pushups a day.”

A crowd gathers for the Oregon Garden Fire Safety House ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this month at The Oregon Garden in Silverton. An existing 1970s-era home will serve to demonstrate how to make homes less vulnerable to wildfires. People will be able to tour the home in person or take a virtual tour online.

Fire prevention, learned in a home

By Cara Pallone (Salem) Statesman Journal

SALEM — The first full-scale fire-prevention safety house in the nation is blooming at The Oregon Garden.

By July 2011, homeowners living in Oregon’s wildland-urban interface, fire officials and homeimprovement retailers will have a life-sized teaching tool to demonstrate how to make homes less vulnerable to wildfires.

Individuals who are unable to visit the garden in person still will be able to tour the house.

“This exhibit will be available nationwide,” said Oregon Department of Forestry’s Craig Pettinger, project manager.

“One of the pieces of the grant is to provide an online virtual tour so people can view it from anywhere.”

The project will be funded by a $600,000 Assistance to Firefighters grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The grant will pay for interpretive fire education displays and the production of a video chronicling the project to serve as an instructional tool for homeowners.

An existing 1970s-era home, currently used as the garden’s business office, is being developed into the exhibit.

The cost of remodeling the home and landscaping the property will be funded through other grants and donations, said Denny Stoll, Oregon Garden Foundation chairman.

The Oregon Garden Fire Safety House will feature fire-resistant landscaping and building materials on the outside, and fire

prevention and safety displays on the inside.

Visitors will learn about the top causes of home fires in Oregon, smoke alarms and residential sprinklers.

In 2009, there were more than 2,300 home fires, resulting in an estimated $60 million in property loss, according to the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal’s 2009 report.

Nine Oregonians died, and 172 were injured in the house fires.

“Safety starts with one home at a time,” said State Fire Marshal Randy Simpson, adding that the ultimate goal is to have no fire fatalities in Oregon.

The project is a partnership between The Oregon Garden Foundation, the Oregon Department of Forestry, Oregon State University, Moonstone Garden Management and the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal.

Representatives from the different entities gathered Friday at the garden to talk about the house.

Coincidentally, the ceremony fell at the end of National Fire Prevention Week.

According to Dan Postrel, ODF’s agency affairs director, it’s estimated that as many as

Virgil Dyer does some roof work during the ribbon cutting ceremony. The Oregon Garden Fire Safety House will feature fire-resistant landscaping and building materials on the outside and fire prevention and safety displays on the inside.

500,000 to 700,000 lots may be located in Oregon’s wildland-urban interface, although not all of the lots are developed.

“Oregon is a beautiful place, and the appeal of living in the woods is strong,” Postrel said.

“That’s why a project like this is so important, so people can come and touch, and feel and learn how to make their own surroundings survivable and dependable.”

Stoll said he expects the new exhibit to attract regional and national attention.

“The end result of this collaboration will be the fact that working with other entities not related to the garden has opened various avenues for us to reach out to people who we didn’t have the ability to reach before,” he said.

TILLAMOOK — Folks in Tillamook have a heck of a fish story. Make that 700 plus and counting fish stories.

And no, it’s not about the ones that got away.

It starts with the offer of free fish and the unfortunate, albeit unavoidable refusal of those fish.

About two years ago, staff with Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife offered Imie Camelli, president of the North County Food Bank, hatcheryraised coho salmon from the Waterhouse Falls fish trap on the north fork of the Nehalem River.

Now, the last thing you want to do when trying to feed the hungry is turn away food.

But that was exactly the predicament Camelli, 87, found herself in. She simply didn’t have the facility, the staff or the time to be cleaning fish when she needed to be feeding people.

All those fish going to waste didn’t sit at all well with Bill Campbell, the retired director of the Tillamook County Department of Community Development.

“It’s high-value protein, some of the best protein you can get on the plate,” said Campbell.

“To have it not be available because of these obstacles ... It would be a waste. If we couldn’t get the fish, the fish would go back in the stream for nourishment. How many fish do you need to nourish a stream?”

So last year, Campbell came

up with a solution. He drafted local processor Darus Peake, owner of the Tillamook Bay Boathouse, to process the fish, which Peake agreed to do at cost. The state granted him access to the fish trap, and volunteers signed on to transport the fish, kept fresh in ice.

Last year, they harvested and processed 157 fish.

This year, they’re already at

726 (200 are from the hatchery upstream from the trap) salmon and counting. That comes to, give or take a few, 4,293 71⁄2-ounce cans of salmon and 2,200-plus pounds of frozen filets in the freezer.

They’ve delivered some to the food bank and some to assisted living facilities in the county, and are looking at other ways of getting them out into the community where they are needed.

We can help with recurring infections and sinus headaches Sinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal sinuses- cavities within the cheek bones around the eyes and behind the nose. Sinusitis may last for months if inadequately treated. Sinusitis may affect the nose, eyes, or middle ear, and may be indicated by plentiful, thick; colored nasal drainage, bad-tasting post-nasal drip, cough, head/ear/nasal congestion and an accompanying headache which is worsened at high elevations.

Types of Sinusitis Acute, which is often caused by a bacterial infection as a complication of a cold. Symptoms last less than four weeks. Chronic sinusitis last eight weeks or longer. Recurrent sinusitis is three or more episodes of acute sinusitis per year.

You should see an allergist/immunologist if you have recurrent or chronic sinusitis, asthma that is made worse with sinus disease, or have infections such as ear, bronchitis or pneumonia.

It is important to seek maximal medical treatment before resorting to surgery.

The fiscal time bomb of longer life spans

New lights brighten Bend in 1935

By Natasha Singer

RAILROAD BUILDS FAST Rails will be laid on the Oregon Trunk line as far as Crooked River by Christmas, and the road will be completed to Bend early in 1911, is the substance of statements made last week by General Manager Kyle.

Six miles of track are now down with the present force employed. About one and a half miles of rails is being laid daily.

There is sufficient material on the ground at present to complete track laying to Crooked River. At Crooked River work will be delayed on account of the deep canyon, and it will be necessary to build a bridge at that point before laying of tracks can be begun between there and Bend, a distance of 25 miles.

“We have our plans perfected for prosecuting track laying on the Oregon Trunk, and we expect to have the entire distance to Bend covered and the road completed by the early part of next year,” said General Manager Kyle. “We are laying rails at the rate of one and a half miles a day, and we will increase our forces immediately so that we can cover two miles daily. We are anxious to open up the road as quickly as possible.”

Nothing was given out concerning the opening up of construction either southward or southeastward from Bend.

Bryan & Youngstrom now have about 140 men working on their stretch of the grade.

Practically three-fourths of the grade work is completed for six miles north of town. Mr. Bryan, who returned from Spokane last week, says that he expects to be entirely “cleaned up” by February first.

New York Times News Service

First the good news: We’re living longer, healthier lives than ever before.

We’re already so used to the idea of greater longevity, in fact, that it may seem ho-hum to learn that boys and girls born in 2008 in the United States have life expectancies of 75 and 81, respectively.

Those life spans, however, represent a bonus of about three decades, compared with Americans born in 1900, according to a report last year from the Census Bureau.

And, by the way, Spain, Greece and Austria fared even better, proportionally: Life expectancies in those countries doubled over the course of the 20th century.

Now for the bad news: At this rate, we can’t afford to live so long.

And by “we,” I don’t just mean you, me and our often insufficient long-term-care insurance policies.

I mean “we the people.” I mean the bureaucratic “we.”

For the first time in human history, people 65 and older are about to outnumber children younger than 5. In many countries, older people entitled to governmentfunded pensions, health services and long-term care will soon outnumber the work force whose taxes help finance those benefits. This demographic shift also means that the number of people living with dementia is expected to more than triple to 115 million by 2050, according to a report this year by Alzheimer’s Disease International, a group representing 73 Alzheimer’s associations around the world. Treatment for patients with dementia is estimated to cost $604 billion worldwide this year.

No other force is as likely to shape the future of national economic health, public finances and national policies, according to a new analysis on global aging from Standard & Poor’s, as the “irreversible rate at which the population is growing older.”

How are the most developed countries handling preparations for the boom and the budget-busting expenditures that are sure to follow?

For a majority, not very well.

Unless governments enact sweeping changes to age-related public spending, sovereign debt could become unsustainable, rivaling levels seen during cataclysms like the Great Depression and World War II, according to the S&P report.

If the status quo continues, the report projects, the median government debt in the most advanced economies could soar to 329 percent of gross domestic product by 2050. By contrast, Britain’s debt represented only 252 percent of GDP in 1946, in the aftermath of World War II, the report said.

Germany announced her withdrawal from the League Oct. 14, 1933, in anger over alleged unfair treatment at the world disarmament conference.

Two years’ notice is necessary for resignation. Japan’s expired several months ago. She resigned because the League condemned her in the Manchurian dispute.

It is necessary also for a nation to pay all it owes the League before its resignation is accepted.

The lights that are to be turned on tonight will give Wall Street an illumination never before equaled. The new lights are even brighter than those recently installed in Redmond, one of the best lighted smaller towns in Oregon.

AUNT KATE IN SEATTLE ON WAY BACK TO BEND Mrs. Kate Rockwell Matson, affectionately known to thousands of Alaska sourdoughs as “Klondike Kate,” was back in Seattle today after having spent two months in Alaska.

Her trip took her to Dawson, “ghost city,” which she remembers as the colorful mining town in which she held popular sway more than two decades ago.

Mrs. Matson will depart from Seattle in a few days for her home in Bend, Ore.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Oct. 16, 1960 OLD-TIMERS STILL RECALL SEPTEMBER DAY LONG AGO WHEN LAVA BUTTE ‘BLEW ITS TOP’ The day that Lava Butte belched smoke and seemed to tremble from its crater to its rocky roots is still graphically recalled by old-timers. Now, in 1960, the story from September of 1914 bears retelling.

Portland ad men were on a good will visit to Bend. On the auto trip, the group saw signs along the dusty forest roads, such as “Know Joles Camp No. 1”, and “Know Joles Camp No. 2”. Shortly before, a character named Joe Knowles, in caveman garb, had gone into the Oregon woods to prove that man could survive by his wit and his hands.

The caravan stopped near the base of Lava Butte. Excuse for the stop was that the trail of “Know Joles”, a local takeoff on Joe Knowles, was believed to be in the area.

Then suddenly Lava Butte, old volcanic cone that once spilled lava westward into the Deschutes, appeared in “violent eruption.” A Portland newsman wrote: “The entire top of Lava Butte seemed to tremble, the lava boulders were hurled high in the air, the aerial bombs rattled like volleys of thunder, and streams of writhing fire ran through the ragged lava field.”

Later the visitors learned what had happened. Bend men had

decided that an eruption of Lava Butte would fit in nicely with the introduction of “Know Joles.” So they loaded the crater rim with black powder, dynamite, red fire and other pyroclastics. Dust and flour were placed on the explosives to make certain there would be a spectacular show.

The explosives were connected with an electric wire strung over the crater lip and into the lower country. Then, when the caravan of cars stopped, a plunger was pushed, and Lava Butte “blew up.”

About that time, “Know Joles,” the counterpart of caveman Joe Knowles of national fame, stepped from the woods. He wore a silk hat and furs with minor trimmings. He was wearing rubber boots. He somewhat resembled B.A. “Dutch” Stover.

It was a grand show. But it was long ago. The four “volcanologists” were S.E. Roberts, T.H. Foley, R.P. Gould and H.E. Allen.

Only one of the four, Bert Roberts, is still on the local scene.

But “Dutch” Stover, the man honored by Bend High School students the other night at the halftime show, has many vivid memories of the occasion.

He can provide geologists with some spectacular information about the last “recorded eruption” of Lava Butte, the cinder cone now visited annually by some 30,000 persons.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Oct. 16, 1985 DIGGING FOR PAST Crook County High School teacher Ian Broussard said it all started when he was trying to arrange a field trip for his geology students.

Broussard asked the owner of a quarry for permission for his students to see it, and the man replied, “Ah, you don’t want to see my quarry, you want to see the mastodon.”

Today, a team of students working under Broussard is excavating the prehistoric animal, either a mastodon or mammoth, near Prineville.

Both the mastodon and mammoth were hair-covered elephant-like creatures.

The initial discovery was made when a contractor working for the property owner dragged out the rib and leg of a mastodon or mammoth with a backhoe.

Broussard got the owner’s permission for his students to excavate the site.

“The excitement level is high, and they’ve been very cooperative,” Broussard said of the students.

The dig has gone faster than Broussard expected. He thought they would probably have to dig 10 or 12 feet before finding bones. He thought that would give the students practice before they reached what they were seeking.

Instead, they hit immediately.

Their first weekend, the students took out a mastodon or mammoth tooth, claw, logs or tusks and considerable organic material. “I hope to find an intact mastodon or mammoth,” Broussard said.

If he does find an intact mastodon or mammoth, his contract with the site’s owner says the owner will decide what to do with it.

Broussard will recommend museums that might be interested in having a fossil.

Broussard believes the animal will be “a vehicle” to relate the two sides of the fault that runs through the Prineville area.

Broussard explained the fault brought the expanse of time together. The rocks in the Ochoco mountains are 20 million years old, while those in the Volcanic Cascades area are only 2 million years old. He hopes the bones will help provide a clue as to how rocks so far apart in age have come together.

Broussard intends to form a geology club to compile the information retrieved from the excavation, form conclusions and then examine the literature to see what others have said about the geology of the Prineville area.

Stiegler Continued from B1 The claim that Stiegler fought to cut $10 million for state cars and $1 million for cell phones refers to her vote for the budget bill for the Department of Administrative Services. That bill, HB 5002, was crafted over five months by lawmakers on the Joint Ways and Means Committee, and its general government subcommittee. Those committee members directed DAS to offer options for budget cuts, and of those options chose a selection that included cell phones and cars.

Stiegler did not sit on the committees that dealt with the bill, and like most lawmakers, played no role in crafting it. Legislative meeting records show that she spoke at none of the 14 committee meetings at which the bill was

discussed. She joined 54 other state representatives in supporting the bill. Only two opposed it.

Stiegler defended the ad, saying that Democrats as a body looked for cuts. “We all were in support of those,” she said.

Meanwhile, Stiegler’s claim that she defended services is based on her support for a variety of tax and fee increases that she supported.

Conger says the Legislature should have found savings instead.

Conger also says he would have opposed a bill that restored $1.8 million funding for state troopers; however, he says that’s only because the same bill also called for the early release for thousands of prisoners and suspended the property-crime and ID theft sentencing law, Measure 57, approved by voters in 2008.

Kyron Horman’s stepmother seeks visitation rights with her daughter The Associated Press PORTLAND — The stepmother of a missing Oregon boy has asked a judge in Portland to allow her to visit her nearly 2-year-old daughter, who has been in her father’s custody.

Terri Moulton Horman is seeking regular and frequent contact with her 22-monthold daughter Kiara, whom she hasn’t seen since her husband, Kaine Horman, left home with the girl and filed for divorce nearly four months ago.

In a motion filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court this week, Terri Horman’s attorney, Peter Bunch, argued she is the primary caregiver for Kiara, The Oregonian reported.

But Bunch said Terri Horman “is not in a position at this time to testify on her own behalf in support of an award of custody and parenting time” because of the criminal investigation into the June 4 disappearance of her stepson, Kyron Horman.

Terri Horman is the last person known to have seen Kyron after she had taken him to Skyline School for a science fair.

No suspects have been named, and no charges have been filed in the case.

On June 26, Kyron’s father, Kaine Horman, said he was informed by investigators they had learned his wife allegedly had approached a landscaper last year to kill her husband for money.

Kaine Horman removed Kiara from their home and moved out immediately. Two days later, he filed for a restraining order against Terri Horman, preventing her from any parenting time with their daughter.

Kaine Horman has since returned to the home, ordering his estranged wife out.

Bunch said that Kaine Horman has refused, despite repeated requests, to let Terri Horman see her daughter under any circumstances.

Screen shot from “Stiegler higher taxes.”

Conger Continued from B1 Specifically, it raised taxes for individuals who earn $125,000 or more and households that earn double that.

Overall, she voted for 38 tax and fee increases, including a gas tax used to build roads, a corporate tax and a medical provider tax used to expand health coverage for lowincome children.

Stiegler says the correct tally is 38 out of 40, as she voted against a death certificate fee hike and a bill allowing transit districts to boost payroll taxes.

Many of those increases were supported by at least some Republicans. The gas tax for roads garnered 13 Republican votes, a fee hike to keep courts open drew 16 Republican votes, and new fee to pay to conduct background checks on real estate agents drew 21 Republican votes.

Benefit Continued from B1 “It’s easy; you’re just throwing bags,” he said. “People get so intimidated by it, but you’re just throwing a bag.”

Conger says he would have voted no on every one of the increases.

The overall 2009 state budget, including all sources of funds, did grow by more than $4 billion, or about 9 percent. State budget analysts said increased health care costs and burgeoning social-service caseloads explained part of the increase, while another $258 million went for state employee pay hikes.

To pay for the increase, in addition to the fee and tax hikes totaling more than $1.6 billion, the state also received an increase of $2.5 billion in federal money to fund, among other things, stimulus projects and social services for unemployed Oregonians.

The state’s general fund, the portion of the budget over which lawmakers have the most control, actually dropped by roughly $200 million due to declining projected corporate and personal income tax collections.

SANTA ANA, Calif. — The flagging economy came up, of course. So did the high unemployment rate. But it is not every congressional debate that turns on the question of how to improve human rights in Vietnam.

Yet there were Loretta Sanchez, a Latina Democrat, and Van Tran, a Vietnamese-born Republican, eagerly discussing their credentials in fighting for human rights in Vietnam on behalf of the voters of California’s 47th Congressional District.

Sanchez wore the yellow and red colors of the former South Vietnam flag, a symbol of pride in the large enclave of Vietnamese refugees here in Orange County. During the debate Wednesday, she proudly recounted being kicked out of

Vietnam during a recent visit because, as she put it, “I talked to the dissidents.” Tran dismissed this as just talk.

Soon their focus turned to the question of granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, with each candidate walking a fine line to avoid alienating both conservatives and Mexican-American voters. All in all, it was a kind of tri-cultural debate in a place formerly known as the land of Richard Nixon and John Wayne.

In this central part of Orange County, once a Republican bastion, immigrants now make up more than half the population.

For the past 14 years, Sanchez has been the sole Democrat in the county’s congressional delegation and a potent symbol of power in the predominantly Mexican community.

week, Kaine Horman appears to be at least open to considering the idea of supervised parenting time for his estranged wife, the court documents say.

Bunch said he would also provide an expert who would testify that there are a number of safety provisions the court could impose “to address any concerns that either the court or petitioner has as to Kiara’s emotional and physical well-being.”

A judge last week delayed divorce proceedings for the Hormans until Jan. 6.

Lucille Frances Nelson Obst

Basil Strat Karras

Feb. 28, 1917 - October 15, 2010

Born in Chicago and living there until 1981, Basil moved to Oregon to fulfill his dream of ranching, horses, cows and still teaching.

He graduated from the University of Alabama with a Master's in Education and Administration.

He married Evi (Elfriede) Hoch in 1963.

Basil served in the US Navy in WWII as a Quartermaster on a PT Boat in the South Pacific. After the war, he spent three years in Italy as a civilian setting up schools for the Department of Defense.

He taught in the Chicago Public Schools and in the Bend-LaPine School District for 45 years. He also founded and owned the A-Karrasel Nursery and Kindergarten Schools in Chicago which he operated for 16 years. Basil, a Master Teacher, was admired and loved by many.

Basil is survived by his wife, Evi; his son, Dr. Steven Karras and daughter-in-law, Dr. Valerie Edwards-Karras; his two beautiful grandchildren, Emily and Stephanie Karras of Roanoke, Virginia; and his two sisters, Elaine Main, of Chicago, Illinois and Geneve Baley of New York.

Basil was preceded in death by his parents, Steven & Maria Karras; his stepmother, Florence Karras; and his brother, Father Nicholas Karras, Lt. Commander, Chaplan US Navy.

Services will be held in the Greek Orthodox Chapel at the Elmwood Park Cemetery in River Grove, Illinois, prior to internment.

Basil was a member of Grace First Lutheran Church and loved his Church family in Bend, but never left the Orthodox Faith tradition.

Autumn Funeral Home is handling the final arrangements.

Lucille Frances Nelson Obst was born Feb. 28, 1917, in Newport, NH, to Arthur and Stella Nelson.

She was a pioneering woman who lived an exciting, wonderful life for 93 years. As a young girl she adored her older brother, Dick, excelled at sports as a golf champion, Lucille Obst and could do no wrong in her father’s eye.

She found strength with her mother as a member of Eastern Star and studied nursing at Peter Brent Brigham Hospital. In 1946, with her father’s reluctant blessing and the keys to a used Plymouth, she left New England with three nursing friends and set out on Rt. 66 to find a new life as army nurses in Redlands, CA. Lucy was the only one who knew how to drive a car so she drove the entire way across country. Once there, she eventually met Milt Obst while caring for him in the Veterans Hospital.

They married and together traveled the West in their Airstream, returning now and then to the family summer cottage on the shores of Lake Sunapee, NH. Milt passed away in 1961 due to lung cancer and she carried his name until her death on October 15, 2010.

In 1964, she met Harry Hoyt, a man she remained faithful to thru good times and bad until his death in 2004. In the 40 years they were together, they experienced the joys and rigors of summers spent in the Northwest Territories of Canada, hunting, fishing and ultimately building an eight-sided log cabin in the remoteness of the NWT, flying in all supplies and materials in a De Havilland Beaver float plane. She found great joy exploring the Northern lakes and Arctic tundra with Harry at her side as they worked in various hunting and fishing camps.

Because she didn’t want to be just the camp cook, a job expected of women at the time, she studied to be a certified outboard motor repair mechanic, a role she loved.

Lucy is a survivor, having beaten both ovarian and breast cancer, and in her later life, rediscovered her faith and became a member of New Hope Church in Bend where she enjoyed Bible studies with her close friends.

Lucy was a liberated woman long before the words liberated and woman ever appeared in the same sentence. She will be loved forever and missed by all who knew her and is survived by her nephew, Scott Nelson of Bend, and niece, Libby Melanson of Clifton, VA, and her grandnieces, and nephews, Tyler Nelson, Kate Lampropoulos, their mother, Susie Weaver and Jeff Melanson, Brian Melanson, Alison Kearney and Kimberly Kochick.

In the end she will be remembered as more than just Aunt Lucy … she was my father’s sister and we will miss her.

The staff and nurses of Partners In Care, Hospice and Bend Villa provided Lucy with a dignified and loving final few weeks of life and we are grateful.

Memorial services are pending travel arrangements by her many Eastern relatives and will be announced shortly.

March 17, 1926 - Oct. 11, 2010

Dashing British actor Simon MacCorkindale New York Times News Service Simon MacCorkindale, the dashing British actor who turned heads in the star-studded 1978 film “Death on the Nile” and went on to play villains and charming Englishmen on numerous television shows in Britain and the United States, died Thursday in London. He was 58.

The cause was cancer, the BBC reported.

With a dramatic brow, boyish good looks, slick hair combed to one side and an upper-crust British dialect, MacCorkindale found early success on the London stage after roles in college and regional productions. He made his West End debut in 1974 in a production of “Pygmalion” that starred Diana Rigg and Alec McCowen.

But his big break came at age 25 when he was cast in “Death on the Nile,” a bigbudget screen adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel, in which he played the trophy husband of the heiress, played by Lois Chiles, who is murdered aboard a Nile River cruiser. His co-stars included Peter Ustinov, Maggie Smith and Bette Davis.

He later had a recurring role as the conniving lawyer to Jane Wyman’s equally conniving Angela Channing in the prime-time CBS soap opera “Falcon Crest.”

R&B’s General Johnson dies at 69 New York Times News Service General Johnson, who provided the distinctive lead vocal for the Chairmen of the Board’s 1970 Top 10 hit, “Give Me Just a Little More Time,” and went on to become a successful rhythmand-blues songwriter, died Wednesday in suburban Atlanta. He was 69 and lived in East Point, Ga. His death was announced on the group’s official website,

chairmenoftheboard.com. The cause was complications of lung cancer, his family said.

Johnson, whose first name really was General, was best known as a singer but won a Grammy in 1971 for his composition “Patches,” a Top 10 hit for Clarence Carter. He also wrote hits for the Honey Cone (“Want Ads,” “Stick-Up”) and Freda Payne (“Bring the Boys Home”).

Barbara Billingsley, 94, TV mom to ‘Beaver’ family

By Christopher Weber

TV’s Cleavers, from left: Tony Dow as Wally, Barbara Billingsley as June, Hugh Beaumont as Ward and Jerry Mathers as Beaver.

Billingsley, famous for her role as the alwayssupportive mother on “Leave it to Beaver,” died Saturday at 94.

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Barbara Billingsley, who gained supermom status for her gentle portrayal of June Cleaver, the warm, supportive mother of a pair of precocious boys in the “Leave it to Beaver” TV series, died Saturday. She was 94.

Billingsley, who had suffered from a rheumatoid disease, died at her home in Santa Monica, said family spokeswoman Judy Twersky.

When the show debuted in 1957, Jerry Mathers, who played Beaver, was 9, and Tony Dow, who portrayed Wally, was 12. Billingsley’s character, the perfect stay-at-home 1950s mom, was always there to gently but firmly nurture both boys through the ups and downs of childhood.

Beaver, meanwhile, was a typical American boy whose adventures landed him in one comical crisis after another.

Billingsley’s own two sons said she was pretty much the image of June Cleaver in real life, although the actress disagreed.

“She was every bit as nurturing, classy and lovely as ‘June Cleaver,’ and we were so proud to share her with the world,” her son Glenn Billingsley said Saturday.

She did acknowledge that she may have become more like June as the series progressed.

“I think what happens is that the writers start writing about you as well as the character they created,” she once said. “So you become sort of all mixed up, I think.”

A wholesome beauty with a lithe figure, Billingsley began acting in her elementary school’s plays and soon discovered she wanted to do nothing else.

Although her beauty and figure won her numerous roles in movies from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s, she failed to obtain star status until “Leave it to Beaver,” a show that she almost passed on.

“I was going to do another series with Buddy Ebsen for the same producers, but somehow it didn’t materialize,” she told The Associated Press in 1994. “A couple of months later, I got a call to go to the studio to do this pilot show. And it was ‘Beaver.’”

Decades later, she expressed surprise at the lasting affection people had for the show.

“We knew we were making a good show, because it was so well written,” she said. “But we

The Associated Press ile photo

had no idea what was ahead. People still talk about it and write letters, telling how much they watch it today with their children and grandchildren.”

After “Leave it to Beaver” left the air in 1963, Billingsley largely disappeared from public view for several years.

She resurfaced in 1980 in a hilarious cameo in “Airplane!” playing a demur elderly passenger not unlike June Cleaver.

When flight attendants were unable to communicate with a pair of jive-talking hipsters, Billingsley’s character volunteered to translate, saying “I speak jive.”

The three then engage in a raucous street-slang conversation.

“No chance they would have cast me for that if I hadn’t been June Cleaver,” she once said.

She returned as June Cleaver in a 1983 TV movie, “Still the Beaver,” that co-starred Mathers and Dow, and portrayed a much darker side of Beaver’s life.

In his mid-30s, Beaver was unemployed, unable to communicate with his own sons and go-

ing through a divorce. Wally, a successful lawyer, was handling the divorce, and June was at a loss to help her son through the transition.

“Ward, what would you do?” she asked at the site of her husband’s grave. (Hugh Beaumont, who played Ward Cleaver, had died in 1982.)

The movie revived interest in the Cleaver family, and the Disney Channel launched “The New Leave it to Beaver” in 1985.

The series took a more hopeful view of the Cleavers, with Beaver winning custody of his two sons and all three moving in with June.

In 1997 Universal made a “Leave it to Beaver” theatrical film with a new generation of actors.

Billingsley returned for a cameo, however, as Aunt Martha.

A pri l 4, 1913 – Oc tobe r 10, 2010 John Amos Nosler, the tall, stately and beloved founder of Nosler, Inc., passed away of natural causes at his home on October 10, 2010. John was 97.

He leaves a legacy that will be remembered, not only by his family, but by hunters and shooters around the world.

John Nosler always envisioned his company to be a family business. Today, the second and third generations share the guiding responsibilities for the business. For the future, there is a large enough fourth generation that prospects for continued family ownership look very good.

Born on April 4, 1913 in Brawley California, John was one of America’s true success stories.

He founded his bullet company in 1948, and was considered to be one of the great generational icons whose designs literally created the premium bullet category and influenced ammunition and bullet manufacturers worldwide.

John was preceded in death by his first wife Louise and son Ronald. Surviving members of the family include his wife Vivian, son Bob Nosler, daughter-in-law Joan Nosler, Bob and Sharon McKethen, Carol Hastie, and grandchildren Christie and (Mike) Darcy, Jill and (Jeff) Bailey, John R. and (Susie) Nosler, Marisa and (Kevin) Barsness, Meghan Hastie, Matt Hastie, and Jaclyn McKethen. In addition, John leaves behind seven great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

After experiencing a bullet failure on the hide of a mud-caked bull moose, John began a pursuit of the product design that would become his life’s work. Armed with perseverance, discipline and determination, he created a concept that was uniquely different—he called it the Partition bullet, because of the barrier that separated the bullet into two sections.

One year later, John and a friend traveled back to British Columbia loaded with his new Partition bullets. The results were two moose with two shots— and the rest is history.

In recognition of his contribution to the shooting sports industry, John was the unanimous choice for the inaugural 2007 NRA Golden Bullseye Pioneer Award. The award was the highlight of a long and fruitful career. Even though he officially retired in 1988 when his son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Joan Nosler purchased the company, John still managed to come to the office on a daily basis. He always had a smile on his face, and enjoyed passing out candy to employees as he made his rounds in the plant. There was always a twinkle in his eye when talking about new ideas for products, new machinery, solving a problem and of course hunting. Only when his health started to decline did his visits become less frequent.

A private family service will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church.

A public memorial service will be held at 1:00 PM on Saturday October 23, 2010 at the Riverhouse Convention Center, Bend, Oregon.

Sparrow Clubs

are local kids helping other kids in medical and financial crisis. Elementary, middle, high school, or college-age youths form a local Sparrow Club and adopt a child in medical need (their “sparrow”).

Behind the scenes, there is a business or individual sponsor for each club, providing “seed money” which the club earns by performing community service. Clubs get to meet their Sparrow in person, and often perform acts of kindness toward their Sparrow family.

Through the service efforts of the Sparrow Clubs,

Girl and her filmmaking grandpa make Disney magic Corvallis short film ‘The Fairy Scientist’ leads to another

By Nancy Raskauskas (Corvallis) Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS — “Thousands of people say that fairies aren’t real, thousands, hundreds ... ,” says an incredulous Lydia Ghozeil at the start of a short film she and her grandfather put together last year. “I decided to find out myself about that, and I found some evidence.”

When Corvallis filmmaker Robert Neary and his granddaughter, Lydia, 7 — now a second-grader at Hoover Elementary — created the short film “The Fairy Scientist” for The Project Reason Video Contest last winter, they had no idea where the project would lead them.

Their short film ended up one of nine finalists in the contest, was viewed a couple thousand times on YouTube and briefly was featured on MSN’s front page in the “Top Ten Videos of the Week.”

But, like most one-hit wonders on YouTube, the attention seemed to fizzle just as quickly as it had gained momentum.

Then came the phone call.

Staff at Disney’s Girl Studios had seen their film and remarked on how Lydia resembled the fictitious little girl in the upcoming film, “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue.”

DigiSynd, a subsidiary of Disney that takes care of social media for the giant media company, wanted to hire Neary’s independent film company, Skeptical Media, to make a new short film for use in promoting the Disney movie.

“It was a lengthy contract negotiation process, because Disney does not often contract with outside producers,” Neary said.

While negotiations were ongoing, Neary and Lydia filmed throughout the summer. When

Lydia Ghozeil, 7, looks for evidence of fairies in a bed of flowers earlier this month at Hoover Elementary School in Corvallis. Lydia is the star of a new short film promoting the upcoming “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue.” at last the deal came through, they were ready to deliver the second film in time to promote “Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue,” which was released to DVD on Sept. 21.

According to Lydia, “A scientist is someone who looks very carefully and tries to discover new things and stuff.”

In the new “Tinkerbell” film, a character named Lizzy keeps a journal of her investigations of fairies.

“It all dovetailed very well,” Neary said.

Searching for clues In both films, Lydia works off this hypothesis: “I bet that fairies are real, but I have no idea yet.”

Lydia makes several discoveries in her research. In the first film, she notes that “fairies get their energy from pastel things,” and the best fairy habitat is “sunny patches of flowers, marshes, leaves and raspberry bogs and stuff.”

In the second video, she shares her view that fairies like big old trees with lots of holes

“to stay out of the rain” and provide “hiding places from predators.” Also: “Flowers are really important to fairies because for one thing they can hide their fairy dust in closed up flowers, for another thing the petals when they fall off can cover secret doors to houses and stuff.”

She also notes some cold hard facts about the search for fairies.

The first is that boys tend to not believe in them. The second: “I have to find, like, the real thing, or a dead body or something to know if it is really real.”

“Lydia’s always been interested in fairies and wanted to know more about them,” Neary said.

According to Neary, Lydia’s scientific curiosity runs in the family, which has at least three generations of scientists. Greatgrandfather Melvin Westwood is a well-published retired professor of agriculture at Oregon State University. Grandfather John Butler is an oceanographer at The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, Calif.

And her father, Adam Ghozeil, is an engineer at Hewlett-Packard in Corvallis.

While in

Walla Walla..

This fall, take advantage of two pastimes in a city with twice the name

By John Gottberg Anderson • For The Bulletin WALLA WALLA, Wash. — can think of many reasons to visit this southeastern Washington community. And I’ve just added another one to the list.

A city of about 32,000, Walla Walla is rich in culture and history. As the home of Whitman College and the Whitman Mission National Historic Site, Walla Walla has a small but vibrant downtown with several fine restaurants. It also has more than a score of outstanding bed-and-breakfast inns and guest houses to complement its numerous other lodging options.

Autumn is one of the best times to visit Walla Walla, just four miles north of the Oregon border between the Palouse Hills and the Columbia River. At this time of year, rainfall is modest, and freezing temperatures are rare.

Given that autumn is harvest season, this is a very good thing, especially in the eyes of the winemakers of the Walla Walla valley.

More than 120 wineries are located within about 15 miles of Walla Walla. A few of them are actually in Oregon, near the town of Milton-Freewater. Best known for such rich red wines as merlot, syrah and cabernet sauvignon, these wineries are actually producing more than two dozen different red and white varietals.

I’ve been to Walla Walla and its winer-

I

2 area holiday parades now accepting entries

NORTHWEST TR AVE L Next week: Highway 20 East ies before. This time, I was looking for a different approach to my visit. A former Bend friend, now a resident of Walla Walla, told me how much he enjoys bicycling in his new town. The terrain is gentle, he said, and — with a student population of more than 4,000 between Whitman College, Walla Walla Community College and Walla Walla University (in adjacent College Park) — the city has developed an excellent system of urban bike trails.

It turns out that other Oregonians have discovered the virtues of cycling in the Walla Walla area as well. In mid-September, Cycle Oregon came through the city with 2,200 bicyclists on its annual Week Ride. A week later, the Gran Fondo led hundreds on a one-day ride through farmland, orchards and vineyards.

So late last month, accompanied by another friend, I devoted a weekend to bicycling in the Walla Walla valley. I found it tremendously appealing to be out under clear, crisp autumn skies, combining my love of fermented grapes with a little goaloriented exercise.

Madly in love, or Thrills more boardroom than bedroom crazily obsessed?

By Alessandra Stanley

Mad Men

New York Times News Service

Dear Abby: I’m a 25-year-old woman who is involved in a serious relationship with a wonderful man. We’ve been together for about three months, and we’re very much in love.

My problem: I think I’m obsessed with him. I am happy only when we are together. When we’re not, I feel sad and alone. I spend my time following his activities on social networking sites and constantly checking my cell phone, hoping he sends me a message.

This is my first serious relationship. I know he loves me as much as I love him because he has mentioned marriage and having kids together someday. Is what I am experiencing normal?

— Lovestruck in New York Dear Lovestruck: It’s not unusual for a first relationship, but you’re right to be concerned.

Take a step back and look at what you’re doing. We cannot depend on someone else to make us happy or make us whole. When a woman spends all her time tracking what her boyfriend is doing and waiting for the phone to ring, it makes her a less-interesting person to be around than she could be. And that kind of dependency can drive a man away.

It is important that you create a balance between what’s going on in the relationship and continuing to develop yourself as an individual. Your boyfriend seems to have no problem doing this.

Dear Abby: I have a hard time empathizing with people who are sick. My mother suffered from all sorts of medical issues and it affected me greatly.

My husband, “Glen,” and I are in our 50s. He’s nearing 60, and as we age I expect our health will decline. Glen already takes medications for several conditions. I, on the other hand, have always enjoyed excellent health.

I find myself becoming impatient when Glen is sick. It’s not that

DEAR ABBY I think he’s faking; I just think he needs to “get over it” and not let it affect him. I hide my feelings pretty well. I take care of him, make chicken soup, let him rest, pick up his medicine or whatever. But I’m afraid if he were to become seriously ill that I wouldn’t take good care of him. I love him dearly, but I don’t seem to be able to work up sympathy when he (or anyone) is sick.

I’m afraid to tell this to Glen because I’m afraid he’ll keep his conditions from me and think I don’t want to be there for him. How can I increase my “caring gene”? I have had therapy for other issues.

What can I do?

— Nursing a Flaw in Texas Dear Nursing: Lack of empathy is the inability to relate to the feelings of others. Some individuals have such an overabundance of empathy they become paralyzed by the pain of another person. Be glad you aren’t one of those.

When a spouse becomes sick and dependent, it can be a challenge. You can minimize or ignore it, or you can choose to be solicitous and helpful. Tolerating complaints that go along with being ill isn’t always easy, but if you visualize how you would want to be treated in a similar situation, it might help you be less impatient.

I’m sorry you weren’t more forthcoming about the issues that sent you into therapy. If you really feel you might be emotionally absent when the chips are down, contact your therapist and start working on it NOW.

Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Risky behavior is the organizing principle of “Mad Men,” an immorality play built around those bad habits of the 1960s that we now try to abjure: drinking, smoking, promiscuity, and racial and sexual prejudice.

And the fourth season, which comes to a close tonight on AMC, wallowed in the ugly consequences. Don Draper (Jon Hamm), no longer so suave, drank and smoked until he got sick, staggering around his office with vomit stains on his shirt. An office manager’s night of adulterous passion put her in an abortionist’s office. A bohemian artist who enjoyed free love with Don in Season 1 was ready to sell herself to him in Season 4 to support her heroin addiction. The buttondown executive who dared to flaunt his love for a black cocktail waitress was beaten by his own father.

All these downers couldn’t be helped, really. When a seductively dark show gets into a fourth season, there is no place to go but down and darker still.

Yet a livelier drumbeat lightened all that bleak melodrama about a blighted era tumbling out of control. And that was, of all things, office work: the chances that Don and his colleagues at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce took to succeed in the cutthroat and volatile world of advertising.

And even more than the mid-’60s allure — Eero Saarinen chairs, Beatlemania, hair-sprayed flips — it’s the water-cooler brinkmanship that makes “Mad Men” so unusual and so engrossing.

Particularly now, in this recessionary era of telecommuting, work-life balance and freelance assignments, corporate ambition and company loyalty are a faded memory, if not a joke. “Mad Men” channels an

A scene from the early days of “Mad Men,” AMC’s adman drama that finds all kinds of excitement and tension in ’60s black and white. earlier ethos when the rat race still felt like an open competition. This season, even more than last, the show became a workplace drama in which promotions, pink slips, and client meetings were packed with emotion and suspense.

Most serious shows feel the need to raise the stakes of employment to matters of life and death.

It’s why “House” is set in a hospital, not a dentist’s office; “The Good Wife” celebrates criminal defense lawyers, not accountants; and “The West Wing” showcased the White House, not a California congressional district. Even cable dramas that defy network rules cling to extreme scenarios.

“Dexter,” after all, is about a serial killer, and the protagonists on “The Big C” and “Breaking Bad” have terminal cancer.

“Mad Men” finds all kinds of drama in a gray flannel ecosphere. The most shocking moment so far, perhaps more shattering even than the assassination of President Kennedy last season, pivoted on the defection of the firm’s main client, Lucky Strike.

It was so momentous a loss that Pete Campbell (Vincent Kart-

heiser) left the maternity ward while his wife was in labor to deal with the calamity. The partners of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce summoned the entire staff for an announcement as somber as a declaration of war. Don was asked to add a reassuring word to the troops.

“We’re going to push ourselves shoulder to shoulder,” he said grimly. “And it will be exhilarating.”

And actually, it was. The more interesting developments this season didn’t happen in the bar or the bedroom, but in the conference room and at the drafting table. Roger Sterling’s insouciance slipped for once. He fought the firm’s efforts to woo Honda out of loyalty to his comrades who died in the Pacific during World War II. Don came up with a Potemkin television commercial that tricked a rival firm into spending vital resources. And the high point may

well be his shoot-the-moon strategy to finesse the Lucky Strike blow.

Even Don’s big romance this season was a work thing: He got involved with Dr. Faye Miller (Cara Buono), a smoothly competent market research consultant.

Her allure is two-fold — she’s a smart, beautiful blonde and can throw accounts his way.

Little that happens in Don’s office in the Time & Life Building is a matter of life and death, not even the demise of his secretary, Miss Blankenship (Randee Heller), who collapsed face first on her desk.

“She died like she lived,” Roger Sterling (John Slattery) muttered.

“Surrounded by the people she answered phones for.”

That death was put in not for poignancy but as a fillip of comic relief in an episode fraught with tension over the Fillmore Auto Parts account and a leftist writer who rattles Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) with a denunciation of the advertising business titled “Nuremberg on Madison Avenue.”

Where Buyers And Sellers Meet 1000’s Of Ads Every Day

The Associated Press SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. — Summer is over, the TV cameras have left the boardwalk, and the fist-pumpers have packed up their hair gel and instant tan spray and returned home.

But Snooki still won’t go away.

“Jersey Shore” star Nicole Polizzi is scheduled this morning to complete her court-ordered community service for disturbing others on the beach in July and will sign autographs to thank her fans for supporting her.

The pint-sized Polizzi will sign photos at the Seaside Heights Community Center for $10-$20, depending on whether buyers bring their own photos or buy one on-site. The proceeds will go to Donations of Love, which benefits local animal shelters.

Polizzi has already completed some of her community service obligations by cleaning up after animals at the Popcorn Park Zoo, a facility for abandoned or abused animals in southern New Jersey.

“The autograph-signing is not technically part of her community service,” said her lawyer, Raymond Raya. “It’s just a thankyou to her fans who have supported her throughout this whole process, and it raises money for a good cause.”

He said Polizzi will complete the last five or six hours of her community service this morning in “a non-public location.” Raya would not say what type of work she might perform, but said it would not be outdoors where she might draw a large crowd.

There are more than 120 wineries within about 15 miles in any direction from the southeastern Washington city. and cabernets. With a grand view across the vineyards of the southern Walla Walla Valley, we decided that a 2009 sémillon, blended with just a touch of sauvignon blanc, was one of our favorites of the day.

Continued from C1

South valley loop On our first day of cycling, we chose to ride through the vineyards south of town, between Walla Walla and the Oregon border. Our route — down Third Avenue and Plaza Way to the Old Milton Highway, then along Pranger, JB George and Pepper Bridge roads before circling back to town — covered about 14 miles, including zigs and zags between wineries.

Not wanting to start our winetasting too early, we set out about 10:30 in the morning. By 11 we were at the Dusted Valley Vintners, our first of six winery stops on the day.

Owners Corey Braunel and Chad Johnson, who married sisters and migrated to the Northwest from Wisconsin, introduced us to their newest Rhone blend: 2009 Wallywood, a near-equal mix of syrah, grenache and mourvèdre. They also told us about the Stained Tooth Society, as they’ve named their private wine club, and the annual “wine release weekend” that draws thousands of visitors to Walla Walla over the first weekend of November.

Recently chosen as the 2010 Washington state winery of the year by Northwest Wine Press, Dusted Valley can expect a great many visitors between Nov. 5 and 7. As it is one of the nearest wineries to town, it may also get a lot of cyclists. “We’ve certainly seen an increase in the number of people enjoying bicycling here in the valley,” said Braunel.

Our second stop was at Isenhower Cellars. Denise Isenhower, co-owner with her husband, Brett, poured us a couple of 2008 wines that they will formally introduce next month: a grenache-dominated Rara Avis and a peppery El Conquistador, which is a blend of tempranillo, mourvèdre and syrah.

We had a bit of lunch on the gracious patio at the Northstar

Winery — deli meat, cheese and bread that we had carried from Salumiere Cesario in town — before returning to the tasting room.

Northstar, we learned, is one of the Chateau Ste. Michelle wine estates; on the 17 acres of vineyards that surround the winery, it grows primarily the merlot grapes that first established its reputation.

But we were partial to the estategrown 2007 malbec, which is available for purchase exclusively at this winery.

Across the road and down a lane is the Pepper Bridge Winery, whose head winemaker of 10 years, Jean-François Pellet, is one of the most highly respected people in the industry in this valley. A native of Switzerland, Pellet has been largely responsible for the national acclaim that Pepper Bridge wines — especially its merlot and cabernet sauvignon — have received.

No other Walla Walla winemaker has consistently, year in and year out, produced cabs and merlots rated 90 points and higher by professional wine critics. Food & Wine magazine, for instance, rated the 2007 merlot (the last one released) as the “best merlot of the year.” The San Francisco Chronicle wrote in July: “Pellet’s talents show the best of Walla Walla.”

Unfortunately, Pellet was in a lengthy meeting at the time of

our arrival, and we were unable to visit with him. Tasting room manager Lisa Schmidt introduced us to the 2007 merlot and cab, both of which were wonderful.

Before making a final stop at Amavi Cellars, a Pepper Bridge spinoff, we biked down a quartermile gravel driveway to Va Piano Vineyards.

Winemaker-owner Justin Wylie poured us a taste of Bruno’s Blend VI, a flavorful cabernet blend with elements of syrah, merlot and cabernet franc, then invited us to join him in the production area.

“This was a rolling wheat field when we bought it in 1999,” said Wylie, as we walked through a corner of his 16-acre vineyards. A fourth-generation farmer, Wylie spent his senior year at Gonzaga University studying in Florence, Italy, and returned to establish a Tuscan-themed winery.

“There’s an old Italian saying that sums up our approach to winemaking,” he said: “‘Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano.’ He who goes slowly, goes safely and goes far.”

Our final stop for the day was Amavi Cellars, on a panoramic hilltop across the vineyards from its parent Pepper Bridge Winery.

Its location is not an accident.

Here, winemaker Pellet focuses on syrah and sémillon grapes rather than his trademark merlots

On our second day, for a little variety, we decided to ride west of Walla Walla in the morning. After a visit to the Whitman Mission, we would swing back through town for lunch and hit a couple of places on the east side of town in the afternoon.

From the heart of downtown, we rode out West Rose Street to the city limits, then continued on Wallula Avenue until it hit old U.S. Highway 12. A new bypass route on Highway 12 has made cycling far less threatening, and we were grateful for the minimal traffic.

We made a short winery stop at the Reininger Winery, where we had a sip in the tasting room with winery partner Jay Tucker.

Primary owner Chuck Reininger built the winery structure in 2003, Tucker said, with the wood from old potato sheds that once occupied the site.

We were entranced by the Ash Hollow syrah and by other grapes not found as frequently in the Northwest — Argentine malbec, Chilean carmenère and Italian sangiovese — but kept our promise to ourselves to hold off on any serious wine tasting until later in the day.

Straight on another mile, then left down a country road for a half mile, we found ourselves at the Whitman Mission National Historic Site.

In 1836, three decades after explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark had remarked on the friendly “Wallah Wallah” tribe that lived here, Dr. Marcus Whitman and his wife, Narcissa Prentiss Whitman, established a Protestant mission six miles west of the current city site. He farmed and practiced medicine; she established a school for Cayuse and Nez Perce native children.

But, as more settlers moved west, new diseases — in particular, measles — invaded the native settlements. In 1847, perhaps because they believed Whitman, as

Like many of the Walla Walla-area wineries, Reininger Winery has a friendly canine greeting tasting-room visitors. More than half of the wineries and vineyards visited had four-legged mascots; the Dunham Winery even names some of its wines after them. a physician, was responsible for the many deaths in their communities, a band of Cayuse killed the missionaries and 11 others at their settlement. They held more than 50 other women and children captive for a month until their release was negotiated. The incident triggered an ongoing conflict that soon led to the formal creation of the Oregon Territory.

Today, the historic site preserves the foundations of mission buildings as well as the site of a mass grave. A trail climbs a small hill to a memorial lookout with a view of a restored gristmill pond and other 19th-century sites.

“This is traditionally a very popular walking and biking place,”

ranger Mike Dedman told us, as he recommended a return to town along a 1½-mile gravel backroad that closely paralleled the original immigrant trail location.

Downtown Walla Walla There are more than two dozen winery tasting rooms in downtown Walla Walla. Among my favorites are Fort Walla Walla Cellars and Otis Kenyon Wine, both notable for their cabernet blends.

Many of these tasting rooms are located on Main Street; its hub is a three-block stretch of mostly brick buildings, carefully restored and dating from the late 1800s.

In the surrounding blocks are many gracious old manors, a number of them now converted to bed-and-breakfast inns. And just east of the urban core is the beautiful campus of Whitman College, a four-year institution since 1883.

A creek meanders through the grounds, rich in foliage and outdoor sculptures.

Downtown is home to several outstanding restaurants, including Whitehouse-Crawford (Northwest cuisine), Saffron (Mediterranean) and Brasserie Four (French).

From previous page Back in Walla Walla, we detoured through the grounds of the Fort Walla Walla Museum, where five large exhibit halls ring a recreated pioneer village and other displays. A paved bicycle trail, with mounted orbs demonstrating the distances between the planets of the solar system, led us back in the direction of downtown.

But I suddenly suffered a flat tire, one of the hazards of bicycle travel. I had run over a large thorn, and I didn’t have the proper repair equipment in my handlebar bag.

The walk back to our downtown inn wasn’t far, but we decided to do our afternoon travel by car.

Our primary destination was the industrial park at Walla Walla Regional Airport, where no fewer than 18 wineries have production facilities. I had recalled that Dunham Cellars was one of my favorites during a 2007 trip to Walla Walla, and I was pleased to find both founder Mike Dunham and his son, artist-winemaker Eric Dunham, on the premises.

As dog lovers, my friend and I are partial to the wines that the Dunhams have named for their canine companions: “Three Legged Red,” a blend that honors an amputee dog, and “Four Legged White,” a lively Riesling.

But we also discovered and enjoyed the 2007 Trutina, a cabernet sauvignon-syrah-merlot blend with a splash of cabernet franc.

Just around the corner from the airport park is the Walla Walla Institute for Enology and Viticulture, a division of Walla Walla Community College and one of a halfdozen college wine-education programs in the Pacific Northwest.

We had hoped to pay a visit to winemaker Chris Figgins at Leonetti Cellar, but he was unavailable at the time of our visit. Figgins is consulting winemaker to Doubleback Cellars, owned by his old friend Drew Bledsoe, retired professional football star and Bend resident.

More educated, more eligible St. Louis Post-Dispatch With few exceptions, women no longer study in the law or med school libraries in hopes of earning an MRS. They are much more likely to be working toward the JD or MD themselves than ever before.

A new analysis by the Pew Research Center suggests that a college degree is just as likely, if not more so, to lead you to the altar.

According to the news release: In a reversal of long-standing

marital patterns, college-educated young adults are more likely than young adults lacking a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree to have married by the age of 30, according to a Pew Research Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Social and Demographic Trends project analysis of 60 years of Census data.

The reversal is largely due to the postponement of marriage by less-educated adults. The typical adult without a college degree now marries at age 28, up from age 25 in 1990.

We stopped making payments on our mortgage almost a year ago and the bank started foreclosure in February.

A foreclosure sale was scheduled to occur in mid June.

Because we have the house on the market, the bank has rescheduled the sale 4 times. We now have a potential buyer for the property if the bank will agree to take less than what it is owed.

How much longer can the foreclosure sale be put off?

The bank has no obligation to postpone a foreclosure sale. However, under Oregon law the bank can postpone the foreclosure sale for one or more periods totaling not more than 180 days from the original sale date. In your situation, it appears the 180 day period will expire sometime in December. If you cannot work something out with the bank within the next 30-45 days, the bank will likely proceed with the foreclosure sale before the 180 day period expires. Otherwise, the bank would be required to start the foreclosure process all over again.

Melissa Shanahan, left, and Will McKinnell

Shanahan — McKinnell Melissa Shanahan and Will McKinnell were married Aug. 21 at the bride’s home in Bend. A reception followed at Deschutes Brewery Mountain Room.

The bride is the daughter of Meg and Kirk Shanahan, of Bend.

She is a 2006 graduate of Mountain View High School and a 2009 graduate of the University of Oregon, where she studied English.

The groom is the son of Bill McKinnell, of Littleton, Colo., and Edirne Peck, of Bend. He is a 2005 graduate of Mountain View High School and a 2010 graduate of the University of Oregon, where he studied accounting and economics. He is an officer trainee with the U.S. Air Force.

The couple honeymooned in Maui, Hawaii.

They will settle in Pensacola, Fla.

Joanne Content, left, and Zamir Zeigler

Content — Zeigler Joanne Content and Zamir Zeigler were married April 10 in Orlando, Fla. A reception followed at the Rosen Centre Hotel in Orlando.

The bride is the daughter of Carole and Gary LaRochelle, of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Miami, Fla. She is a graduate of Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn and a 2002 graduate of Valencia

Community College, where she studied nursing. She works as a registered nurse.

The groom is the son of Leslie Minor, of Sisters. He is a 1996 graduate of Bend High School and a 2004 graduate of the University of Central Florida, where he studied digital media design. He works as an audio-video engineer.

The couple honeymooned with a Caribbean cruise.

They will settle in Orlando.

We think of caregivers as middle aged or older — the famous “sandwich generation” that is squeezed between aging parents and not-quite independent children.

But a surprisingly high number of American children are caregivers. A study by the Administration on Aging estimated that 1.3 million children are responsible for a disabled parent, an ailing grandparent or a sibling with a chronic illness.

The impact on society is huge, but largely hidden from view since shouldering these adult responsibilities tends to lead to isolation, declining grades and ultimately a high dropout rate.

Connie Siskowski, RN, Ph.D., is working to help these kids get a fair shake. Her organization, American Association of Caregiving Youth, gives support and guidance to teen and adolescent caregivers. A 2009 Purpose Prize winner, Connie was herself a caregiver to her grandparents. I spoke to Connie by phone from her office in Boca Raton, Fla.

Q: A:

How common is it for kids to be responsible for a family member’s care?

Much more common than people think. It’s a silent epidemic that is having a profound impact on this country. I served as an adviser for the first U.S. study on child caregiving, funded by the AOA. Following that, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation looked at high school dropouts and discovered that 22 percent of those who dropped out for personal reasons said it was to care for a family member.

Q: A:

And previously no one was aware of this?

It’s just so far off the radar screen. Once somebody thinks about it, a light bulb goes off. But you have to have a lot of light-bulb moments before anything happens.

By Jacqueline Bigar HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Oct. 17, 2010: This year, you can move through any potential challenges with creativity and determination.

Often, you end up going overboard trying to deal with others or enjoying yourself. Don’t lose your focus. If you do, you could go overboard with ease. If you are single, you could have a ball partying and dating. You might not be ready to settle down just yet. Take your time.

If you are attached, the two of you open up to a new sense of closeness. Let go and enjoy this phase. Aquarius is always fun!

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Don’t let a hassle color your day; let it go quickly.

Join family and/or friends. Go off to the movies or where there is some mind candy.

Tonight: Having fun.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Stay above the fray. Invite family or friends to join you. You can meet and go to the movies.

Allow your imagination to play out when making fun plans.

Tonight: Start thinking “work.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for others. You have a little too much energy. Go for a hike or go to a flea market or art show. You might want to be physical while

relaxing. Use your imagination.

Tonight: Maximize your free time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Rethink a decision involving a partnership. Someone has the ability to pull the wool over your eyes, and knows it!

Be careful with your dealings here. If you feel lucky, buy a lottery ticket or play bingo!

Tonight: Let another person decide. Go along for the ride.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Someone creates an uproar in your inner circle.

The trick is not to respond.

Let go and join a loved one or friend for a day outing. You might be overwhelmed by all the conversation. Just listen and allow yourself to flow with the moment. Tonight: Go with someone else’s ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Schedule time for relaxation, and indulge yourself a little. Take a walk near water and enjoy the fall foliage. Let your mind wander; be less concerned with the moment.

Recharge your energy by letting go of your cares and worries.

Tonight: Treat yourself well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Allow yourself more flex. Refuse to beat yourself up about a bad decision. Know that next time when you are faced with similar circumstances, you will make a better decision.

Avoid wild risking. Tonight: Act like it is Friday night.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You could be more upset

about a domestic matter than you realize. Stay close to home and relax. You might need to have an important discussion with a friend or loved one. Tonight: Put on a favorite movie, TV show or music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Your ability to communicate comes through.

If you are aggravated about a matter, clear the air before your feelings develop into anything more. Take the time to catch up on a sibling’s or neighbor’s news. Tonight: Hang out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH Be careful dealing with a friend who agitates you and carries on until he or she gets his or her way. Decide if you want to deal with this behavior anymore. Drop in on an older friend or relative. Tonight: Treat another person to dinner, but also a long-overdue chat!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Someone you look up to doesn’t hesitate to express his or her irritation. An opportunity to detach and perhaps take off for the day is just what the doctor ordered. Tonight: Play out a special fantasy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH Take some time for yourself.

You could be overly tired or drawn. You might need to stop and consider certain options.

News from a distance could force a change of plans. Listen to a dear friend or loved one. Tonight: Do whatever makes you happy. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Burhop — Bedortha Amanda Burhop and Trask Bedortha were married June 19 at Atavista Farm in Brownsville.

The bride is the daughter of Steve Burhop, of Hamilton, Mont., and Ron and Nena Close, of Tumalo. She is a 2001 graduate of Redmond High School and a 2005 graduate of the University of Oregon, where she studied

journalism. She works as a medical billing specialist in Eugene.

The groom is the son of Steve and Doyce Bedortha, of Redmond.

He is a 2000 graduate of Redmond High School and a 2003 graduate of Lane Community College, where he studied graphic design.

He works as a graphic designer for Eugene Weekly.

The couple will settle in Eugene.

How did AACY come into existence?

For me it’s very personal. My parents were divorced when I was young.

So I lived with my mother and my grandparents. When I was about 13 and my grandfather was 85, his health began to decline. I spent a lot of time with him. I would shave him. And I helped him walk as he got weaker. The night he died, I had set my alarm for 2 a.m. so I could give him his medicine. I remember waking up and walking into his room. I touched him, and he was cold.

Another glaring addition: Wild and colorful prints have been a phenomenon in Europe, beginning with Prada’s amusing dresses with ornery little monkeys climbing up the side. Akris offered an array of wild orchids; Missoni incorporated rock lyrics with zigzags; and Stella McCartney worked a zesty citrus theme of oranges and lemons.

There were also mini-trends throughout the shows. A softer use of color came in the new tweeds that appeared here and there, most beguilingly at Proenza Schouler in New York. Deacon, at his Ungaro show, translated the house’s signature fuchsia in tweed; and Oscar de la Renta, of course, had his own witty takes.

In Paris, there were bursts of punk, at Balenciaga, Balmain and Jean Paul Gaultier, and a psychedelic trip from Yohji Yamamoto that played on earlier touches of luxury hippie-wear from Michael Kors in New York and Pucci in Milan.

PORTLAND — In what was easily the best race of her young career, Bend High sophomore Jenna Mattox won the girls 5,000-meter Invitational Varsity race at the Concordia/ PUMA Classic on Saturday at Portland’s Fernhill Park.

Mattox posted a time of 18 minutes and 28.6 seconds, besting runner-up and Central Oregon rival Kellie Foley of Crook County (18:44.4) by almost 18 seconds.

“She ran really smart,” Lava Bear coach Lisa Nye said about Mattox, who has been juggling cross-country and soccer responsibilities this fall.

Early in the race Mattox sat in sixth or seventh, according to Nye, before taking the lead late in the race.

“She was amazing,” Crook County coach Tracy Smith said about Mattox.

In her first career crosscountry win, Mattox shaved more than a minute off her previous fastest 5K time to help the Lava Bears win the team title. Fellow sophomores Melissa Hubler (eighth, 19:40.8) and Makeila Lundy (23rd, 20:23.8) both posted top-25 finishes to help Bend edge out runner-up Phoenix 112-119. Crook County placed 15th in the girls race with 342 points.

The Bend High boys, led by Daniel Ewing’s 36th-place effort (17:12.7), finished 17th out of 25 teams.

LESSONS FROM THE DUCKS

With no unbeatens left, theme of season is parity

It is supposed to be an annual rite of the first couple months of an NFL season: anointing a Super Bowl favorite or two and identifying which team might make a run at joining the 1972 Miami Dolphins with the sport’s second unbeaten season. Those Dolphins continue to stand alone, but usually there is a team, sometimes two, that make things somewhat interesting.

Not this season. When the Kansas City Chiefs, after a surprising 3-0 start, lost in Indianapolis last weekend, it meant that this NFL season failed to produce a team that started even 4-0, a first for the league since 1970. As the sixth

weekend of games begins today, no dominant team has emerged league-wide. Good luck trying to come up with a consensus about which club is the Super Bowl frontrunner in each conference.

“The parity is certainly something that you can see,” said Colts Coach Jim Caldwell. “It’s quite evident just in the records of the teams. It’s going to be . . . a very, very close race, I think. Somebody is going to get on a roll here and reel off a few in a row and get themselves in pretty good position. Usually it happens in the second quarter of the season, so it just depends on who that team is going to be.”

Five-year-old Trenton Preston swings at a pitch as members of the University of Oregon baseball team watch in the background during a youth baseball clinic Saturday at Vince Genna Stadium in Bend. Nearly 70 youngsters took part in the clinic, working with UO coaches and players on a range of baseball fundamentals. The clinic followed an intrasquad game; nearly 300 spectators watched the Ducks’ play a seven-inning scrimmage on a pleasantly sunny Central Oregon afternoon. The Oregon squad traveled from Eugene for the fall baseball day in Bend for the second year in a row.

Giants’ Lincecum outduels Halladay San Francisco takes a 1-0 NLCS lead against Philadelphia

By Rob Maaddi The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Tim Lincecum shrugged off his pirouette at the plate, ignored the derisive whistles he heard in the batter’s box and did his thing on the mound — where he’s most comfortable.

Lincecum outdueled Roy Halladay, Cody Ross hit a pair of solo homers and the San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 in Game 1 of the NL championship series Saturday night.

In a mega-hyped matchup between marquee pitchers, neither starter came close to matching his sensational postseason debut last week. Both gave up homers to the No. 8 hitters.

“It’s tons of confidence, but I think it’s more about winning Game 1 for us, setting the pace,” Lincecum said.

Halladay’s bid for a second straight no-hitter lasted until Ross connected with one out in the third.

“It was just enough to squeak by for us,” Lincecum said.

Lincecum gave up three runs on homers to Jayson Werth and Carlos Ruiz in seven innings.

But the Freak got the big outs when he needed them, and the Giants earned their fourth onerun win in the playoffs. The twotime NL champion Phillies lost their first series opener since getting swept by Colorado in 2007.

“Lincecum, he hung in there and he battled and he pitched pretty good,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.

Game 2 is tonight. Jonathan Sanchez tries to send the Giants back to San Francisco just two

San Francisco Giants’ Cody Ross is congratulated by Tim Lincecum (55) after Ross hit a home run during the third inning of Game 1 of the National League Championship Series Saturday in Philadelphia. wins from their first World Series appearance since 2002. Roy Oswalt goes for the Phillies.

Halladay threw the second nohitter in postseason history in a 4-0 win over Cincinnati in the opener of the division series. The only runner he allowed was a fifth-inning walk to Jay Bruce.

Pitching on nine days’ rest, Halladay clearly didn’t have the same, dominant stuff. He allowed four runs and eight hits in seven innings.

A day after Halladay’s gem, Lincecum had 14 strikeouts in San Francisco’s 1-0 win over Atlanta. He gave up six hits and struck out eight against the Phillies.

Lincecum, the reigning twotime NL Cy Young Award winner, had some adventures with a

bat in his hands, though.

The notoriously tough Philly fans came up with a unique way to mock Lincecum instead of the usual boos. They serenaded him with whistles when he batted in the fifth and seventh, presumably poking fun at his long, shaggy hair.

His first time up, Lincecum struck out, spinning on one leg after swinging at a slow curve.

Lincecum gave way to Javier Lopez, who got two outs in the eighth. All-Star closer Brian Wilson finished with a four-out save.

The Phillies led the majors in wins (97) for the first time in franchise history, captured their fourth straight division title and are trying to become the first NL team in 66 years to win three

straight pennants.

The Giants are seeking their first World Series title since moving from New York in 1958.

Ross, a Phillies nemesis, ripped a 2-0 pitch to the seats in left to give the Giants a 2-1 lead in the fifth. He was three for 16 off Halladay before taking him deep his first two at-bats.

“It’s just awesome to be in this situation right now, to be able to come here and help this team where it wanted to be,” Ross said.

The Giants got two key hits with two outs in the sixth to increase the advantage to 4-1. Halladay thought he struck out Pat Burrell to end the inning and walked off the mound after an 0-2 pitch only to return because plate umpire Derryl Cousins

called it a ball. Burrell hit an RBI double on the next pitch — left fielder Raul Ibanez made a leaping attempt in front of the wall and the ball bounced out of his glove.

Juan Uribe followed with an RBI single up the middle, scoring pinch-runner Nate Schierholtz to give the Giants a three-run cushion.

The Phillies quickly answered in the bottom half. Chase Utley hustled out an infield single and Werth hit a two-run shot to rightcenter to cut it to 4-3.

Halladay retired the first seven batters before Ross drove a fastball into the seats in leftcenter. Players in the Giants’ dugout jumped out of their seats and a fired-up Burrell smacked the railing as Ross rounded the bases.

Ruiz led off the bottom half with an opposite-field shot to right to tie it up at 1. Halladay followed with a single, getting his second postseason hit before giving up two. After Shane Victorino bounced into a double play, Placido Polanco lined a double.

Lincecum then walked Utley and drew a visit from manager Bruce Bochy after gesturing and yelling at Cousins. Bochy’s pep talk worked. Lincecum struck out Ryan Howard swinging at a slider after a passed ball put runners at second and third.

The Phillies wasted a chance in the second when Howard, the only player to have three homers off Lincecum, lined a double to left-center to start the inning. But Lincecum fanned Werth. Jimmy Rollins popped out two pitches after Cousins mistakenly rung him up on strike two. Ibanez flied out to center to strand Howard.

Philadelphia eliminated the Reds in three games for its first postseason sweep in round one.

The Giants beat the Braves in four games — all decided by one run.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

Rangers win 7-2 to even series with Yankees

By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Rangers relievers got quick redemption, and Texas finally has won a postseason game at home for the first time in its 50-season history.

Elvis Andrus got the Rangers off to a running start, David Murphy led a parade of extra-base hits and the bullpen that faltered the night before held strong this time as Texas got even in the AL championship series with a 7-2 victory over the New York Yankees in Game 2 on Saturday.

The Rangers again built an early 5-0 lead — and stayed ahead this time, unlike the series opener when the Yankees had their biggest postseason comeback in the seventh inning or later. Texas snapped a 10-game postseason losing streak against New York.

The best-of-seven series now switches to Yankee Stadium for Game 3 on Monday night, when Texas will have hired ace lefthander Cliff Lee on the mound.

Lee has won his last four starts in New York, including a complete game for Philadelphia in last year’s World Series.

Colby Lewis limited New York to two runs over 5 2⁄3 innings and the bullpen rebounded from the eighth-inning debacle in Game 1 that allowed the defending World Series champion Yankees to escape with a 6-5 victory even though CC Sabathia lasted only four innings.

“That’s what they have been doing for us all year. That’s how we got to this point,” manager Ron Washington said. “Last night, we didn’t get it done. We didn’t make any excuses. ... I was going to give the ball back to those guys if it presented itself. It presented itself, they did a great job. I expected that.”

New York’s postseason winning streak over the Rangers included knocking them out of the playoffs in 1996, 1998 and 1999, Texas’ only other postseason appearances.

These Rangers don’t plan to be easily dismissed by the Bronx Bombers, who have won 27 World Series titles and 40 pennants.

Andrus led off the first with an infield single on a chopper that deflected off starter Phil Hughes’ glove. Andrus went to second on a wild pitch, then stole third before Josh Hamilton drew a walk.

Paul Sancya / The Associated Press

Texas Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler makes a diving stop on a ground ball by New York Yankees’ Lance Berkman in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the American League Championship Series Saturday in Arlington, Texas. Kinsler recovered to throw Berkman out at first.

With Nelson Cruz batting and two outs, Hamilton took off for second base, and Andrus ran home when Jorge Posada threw the ball to second. The doublesteal put Texas up 1-0 before Cruz’s inning-ending strikeout.

“Elvis got on and basically took three bags,” Lewis said.

“Opportunity seemed right, so I took a chance. That’s the way we play,” Washington said. “It worked. Got us going.”

Murphy homered off the facade of the second deck of seats in the second for a 2-0 lead, then an inning later he and Bengie Molina had consecutive RBI doubles to make it 5-0.

Texas had lost its first seven home playoff games, the most by any team before finally getting a victory in front of its own fans, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Five of those losses had been to New York, plus two to Tampa Bay last weekend in the first round when the Rangers had to go back to Florida for a deciding Game 5 with Lee pitching to win a postseason series for the first time ever.

Andy Pettitte pitches for the Yankees against Lee on Monday night. Manager Joe Girardi decided before this series started to swap the rotation order of Hughes and Pettitte, who will be going for his 20th postseason victory.

“Cliff Lee doesn’t beat himself.

And he’s going to throw a lot of strikes,” Girardi said. “The guy that’s getting lost in this is Andy Pettitte, and he’s pretty good.”

After the Rangers built a 5-

0 lead through four innings in Game 1 and chased Sabathia, they didn’t tack on any more runs.

New York then finally scored on Robinson Cano’s homer in the seventh and rallied for five runs off five pitchers in the eighth.

Cano homered again Saturday, his 435-foot solo shot deep

in the second deck of seats in right making it 7-2 in the sixth.

Cano also again scored the first Yankees run, leading off the fourth with a double, moving to third on a wild pitch by Lewis and scoring on an RBI single by Lance Berkman, who then got caught off base for the final out.

After a majors-best 48 comefrom-behind victories in the regular season, and three more this postseason, the Yankees couldn’t pull off another one against the Rangers relievers.

When Lewis was pulled with two on in the sixth and a 7-2 lead, Clay Rapada struck out pinchhitter Marcus Thames for the final out.

The previous night, Rapada gave up an RBI single to Cano on the only pitch he threw. And Thames had a broken-bat single that sent Alex Rodriguez home with the tiebreaking run.

Reliever Alexi Ogando then allowed a couple of base runners in the seventh, but got out of that jam unscathed when he struck out Cano for the final out.

Darren Oliver, who walked the only two batters he faced Friday night, walked the leadoff hit-

ter in the eighth. He then got a strikeout and a grounder before Darren O’Day, who allowed a two-run single on his only pitch the night before, got Thames on a grounder.

Rookie All-Star closer Neftali Feliz, who was peeking through the bullpen door waiting for his chance to pitch in the ninth, walked two before finally getting Cano out on a game-ending flyball, setting off a fireworks burst over the ballpark.

Lewis struck out six while allowing two runs and six hits in his second postseason start. The right-hander, back with his original team after the past two seasons in Japan, threw five scoreless innings in his postseason debut a week earlier against Tampa Bay. Hughes had allowed only three hits in 15 1⁄3 scoreless innings his three previous games at Rangers Ballpark. In his second major league start three years ago, Hughes had 6 1⁄3 hitless innings before coming out of that game with a hamstring injury.

The Rangers had 10 hits, seven for extra bases, off the 24-yearold right-hander when it counted most.

AUTO RACING: NASCAR SPRINT CUP

GOLF ROUNDUP

McMurray tops Charlotte field

Trio tied for lead at LPGA Challenge

Driver passes Kyle Busch near the end for win

The Associated Press

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

CONCORD, N.C. — Jamie McMurray’s career came full circle at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night, where he returned to Victory Lane eight years after grabbing his first win with the team that gave him a second chance.

The celebration with his Chip Ganassi Racing team was more exuberant because of the circumstances surrounding the 2002 win. In his second race with Ganassi, as a replacement for injured Sterling Marlin, McMurray set a NASCAR record in winning so quickly.

But the team had to hold back a bit on the party out of respect for Marlin, who had broken his neck in an accident two weeks earlier.

“When I won here in 2002, you’re in a situation where I don’t know any race car driver who wants someone else to get in their car and win,” McMurray said. “I knew that was hard on Sterling. As soon as I got into Victory Lane, I remember telling myself ‘Be very gracious and be respectful to Sterling because this is hard for him.’ He was home with a broken neck, you win with another team, this isn’t your team.”

But the circumstances were far different this time around.

Back with Ganassi and coowner Felix Sabates after he was let go last season from RoushFenway Racing, McMurray has grabbed wins at some of the biggest venues in NASCAR. He won the season-opening Daytona 500, the Brickyard 400 and now Charlotte.

He’s made a full turnaround in his career, which seemed in jeopardy this time last year, with Ganassi, who has slowly rebuilt his program.

“This is completely different

Terry Renna / The Associated Press

Jamie McMurray (1) heads into Turn 4 during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C., on Saturday. McMurray won the race. because this team, and I talked to Chip about this today, about where his Cup organization was a year ago and where it is right now and the success that we’ve had,” McMurray said. “So (this win) is different circumstances.

I feel this is my team, and it’s a team that has been put together over the past 11-12 months, and it’s mine.”

McMurray passed Kyle Busch on a restart with 21 laps to go and cruised to the win in his Chevrolet.

Ineligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, McMurray was better than all the title contenders to become the first non-Chase driver to win a Chase race at Charlotte since the format began in 2004.

Busch led a race-high 218 laps but had to settle for second in a Toyota after McMurray easily passed him on the restart.

Busch had to hang on for his spot when four-time defending series champion Jimmie John-

son charged hard over the closing laps.

“Nobody can put it perspective for me, it’s very, very disappointing,” said Busch, who was apoplectic on his radio about the debris caution that wiped out his lead. He also ranted about the restart that allowed McMurray to move ahead of him, and refused to accept that second place was a decent day.

Johnson, who spun early and dropped to 37th, completed an improbable comeback in a Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.

Denny Hamlin was fourth in a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, and lost more ground to Johnson in the Chase race.

“I’m so relieved. I’m glad to be sitting in here in third spot and leading the points,” Johnson said. “It’s amazing what goes through your mind when you’re sliding sideways on the back straightaway. I saw my hard work for the year and dreams of being a five-time champion go

away, and fortunately I got the car turned away from the inside wall.

“At that point, it kind of scared me straight. Like, OK, just stay smooth, we can salvage a decent finish. Maybe we don’t win, maybe we don’t be in the top five, but I know we can get a good finish out of this if we can keep our composure and we did.”

With five races remaining, Johnson holds a 41-point lead over Hamlin. They go next to Martinsville Speedway, where Johnson and Hamlin have combined to win the last eight races.

Greg Biffle and Roush-Fenway Racing teammate Matt Kenseth finished fifth and sixth in Fords, Joey Logano was seventh to put all three JGR cars in the top seven. Kevin Harvick was eighth and maintained the third spot in the standings, but dropped 77 points behind Johnson.

David Reutimann and David Ragan rounded out the top 10.

NHL ROUNDUP

Red Wings beat Coyotes in overtime The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Phoenix’s home season started the way the last one ended, with a loss to the Detroit Red Wings.

Niklas Kronwall scored a power-play goal 4:44 into a wild overtime to give the Red Wings a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.

The goal came with 7 seconds showing in Detroit’s eighth advantage of the game. The Coyotes had killed off the first seven power plays.

“We kept shooting the puck and finally it went in,” Kronwall said.

Martin Hanzal scored with 10 seconds to play in the first period to put Phoenix ahead 1-0. The Red Wings tied it when Pavel Datsyuk’s wrist shot deflected off the stick of Phoenix’s Lee Stempniak and dribbled between the legs of goalie Ilya Bryzgalov just over seven minutes into the second period.

Detroit enjoyed power plays for four minutes of overtime. The Red Wings had a four-on-three advantage when they scored the winning goal.

“I didn’t mind the way we played short-handed,” Phoenix coach Dave Tippett said. “I minded how much we played short-handed. When you give eight power plays, especially two in overtime, you’re tempting fate too hard.”

It was a rematch of the last season’s first-round playoff series, won in seven games by Detroit with a decisive 6-1 victory in Glendale.

At 2:51 of overtime, Coyotes defenseman Adrian Aucoin was called for interference after slamming into the backside of Detroit’s Tomas Holmstrom in front of the Phoenix net. A brief skirmish followed, with Holmstrom and Phoenix’s Keith Yandle drawing penalties for roughing.

Detroit, with its nearly constant advantage, outshot the Coyotes 8-0 in overtime. Still, it appeared Phoenix, which killed a four-minute penalty in the third period, would hold off the Red Wings and force a shootout.

But Kronwall’s slap shot, with assists from Henrik Zetterberg

Paul Connors / The Associated Press

Detroit Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard, left, makes a save on a shot deflected by Phoenix Coyotes center Martin Hanzal, right, of the Czech Republic, in the second period of Saturday’s game in Glendale, Ariz. and Nicklas Lidstrom, got past Bryzgalov. It was Kronwall’s second goal of the season.

“We had some chances but Bryzgalov played a really good game in the net,” Kronwall said.

“We kept with it and kept shooting and it went in.”

The game was played in front of an announced sellout crowd of 17,125, a good share of them Detroit fans.

“This is our fourth home opener and we’re 3-1,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. “So not so bad in home openers.”

Detroit, already without several injured players, didn’t have star Johan Franzen because of a concussion, the result of an elbow to the head from Dallas’ Mark Fistric on Thursday night.

The Coyotes scored in the waning seconds of the first period on their 12th and final shot of the frame. After two penalty kills and a failed power play by Phoenix, Wojtec Wolski sent a pass from left of the net to Hanzal, whose shot from straightaway sailed to the right of goalie Jimmy Howard and in with just 10 seconds left.

Phoenix was zero for four on power plays.

The game came one day after

a significant development in the protracted efforts by the NHL to sell the Phoenix franchise and keep it in Arizona. The city of Glendale announced on Friday it had reached an agreement in principle on a new lease with a group headed by Chicago investor Matthew Hulsizer.

The NHL, in a statement on Saturday, said the agreement, once completed, would pave the way for “finally” selling the franchise, which the league bought in U.S. Bankruptcy Court more than a year ago. Hulsizer attended the game but didn’t talk to reporters.

DANVILLE, Calif. — Michele Redman had gone so long without a victory that she contemplated retiring earlier this season. Rookie Ilhee Lee also questioned her future on the LPGA Tour this year.

Both are glad they stayed.

The 45-year-old Redman holed out from 126 yards for an eagle on the par-4 18th hole Saturday for a 4-under 68 and a share of the thirdround lead in the CVS/pharmacy LPGA Challenge with Lee and Spain’s Beatriz Recari.

Lee, a 21-year-old rookie from South Korea, also shot a 68, and Recari had a 70 to match Redman at 12 under on the Blackhawk Country Club course. Wendy Ward (69) and France’s Gwladys Nocera (71) were 11 under.

Redman, who had a double bogey on the par-3 16th, hit an 8-iron approach that landed 16 feet from the pin, then rolled into the cup as the crowd cheered. Redman pumped her fist and smiled, then retrieved her ball and tossed it into the crowd.

“I knew I hit it pretty good,” Redman said. “I mean, I don’t know, I just kind of knew I hit a pretty good shot. It was exactly what I visualized and what I felt. Fortunately, it went in the cup.”

The celebration was very different from how Redman felt a few months ago.

Redman hasn’t won since 2000 and has only a handful of top-10 finishes over the past four years. She was seriously considering retirement before deciding to continue playing.

“I actually applied for the coaching job at the University of Minnesota, so I was pretty serious about it,” Redman said. “But everything works out the way it’s supposed to.

That’s how I’m looking at it right now. I mean, I knew I still wanted to compete. I don’t want to play 20 to 25 weeks a year. I know that. It’s just too much for me to be gone. And like I said, once I got through that and realized that I was OK with that and that things were going to be OK whatever I did, I think that really helped me out.”

Redman was tied for fourth after each of the first two rounds, then made her push to the front with two birdies and three pars on the back nine.

After the double bogey on the 183-yard 16th, she came back two holes later with her eagle for a share of the lead.

“Some of it for me was I didn’t know how much I wanted to play out here,” Redman said. “I maybe was a little burned out. It just took me a couple months to get back on track to see where I wanted to go.”

Lee, a rookie from South Korea, also thought about leaving the LPGA Tour after missing seven straight cuts in her first year on the tour.

“I started to wonder, ‘Can I really make it out here, can I really survive on this tour?’”

Lee said. “Being away from home was very difficult. I challenged myself three tour-

naments ago, ‘Let’s give it all I got and see what I can do.’”

The choice has worked out well so far. Lee has rounds of 69, 67 and 68 this week after failing to break 70 all season. She was alone in first at 13 under with two holes left, but missed a 3-foot par putt on the 333-yard 17th.

Recari, also a tour rookie, shared the lead with Nocera after three rounds but had problems on a pair of par 3s. She made a double bogey on the 184-yard fourth and a bogey on the 155yard 12th.

Nocera dropped out of the lead when she bogeyed the 18th.

Kerr can overtake Ai Miyazato for the No. 1 ranking by finishing second, though it seemed out of reach after her opening round 73 on Thursday.

“You always think about it but it has to reach a point where you have to be able to go out and play golf,” Kerr said. “Because playing my own game is good enough to beat pretty much everybody.

That’s my fatal flaw, if I have one, is I try too hard sometimes.”

Karine Icher (66) is 10 under, Cristie Kerr (66) and Katherine Hull (69) followed at 9 under.

Hull won the Navistar LPGA Classic last week in Prattville, Ala., for her second career LPGA Tour title.

Brittany Lincicome, the firstround leader after a course-record 61, is 8 under after a 71.

In other events on Saturday: Eagles help Mediate stay on top SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Rocco Mediate holed out with a pitching wedge from 111 yards on the par-5 15th hole for his third eagle of the week and finished with a 4-under 67 to maintain a three-stroke lead in the Frys.com Open.

The 46-year-old Mediate, looking for his first PGA Tour victory in eight years, became the first player to make three eagles in a tournament since Tiger Woods in the 1998 Sprint International.

Mediate had a hole-in-one on the par-3 third hole Thursday and holed out from 160 yards Friday on the par-4 fourth hole. He had a 17-under 196 total on the CordeValle Golf Club course in the Fall Series event.

Bo Van Pelt was second after a 65, Alex Prugh (66) and Ryuji Imada (69) were five strokes back at 12 under, and U.S. Ryder Cup player Rickie Fowler (68) was 11 under.

Harrington up five in Asia JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia — Ireland’s Padraig Harrington overcame a sore neck to shoot a 4-under 68 and take a five-stroke lead in the Asian Tour’s Iskandar Johor Open.

Harrington had a 17-under 199 total. Taiwan’s Lin Wen-tang (72) was second.

Spaniard sits 10 under in Portugal VILAMOURA, Portugal — Spain’s Pablo Martin shot a 9-under 63, eagling the third and fifth holes, to take a three-shot lead in the Portugal Masters at 18 under. Denmark’s Jeppe Huldahl matched the Oceanico Victoria record with a 61 to join England’s Oliver Wilson (65) at 15 under.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, October 17, 2010 D5

Lynne Sladky / The Associated Press ile

New England Patriots safety Jarrad Page (44) tries to recover a blocked field goal by Miami Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter (5) during a game in Miami earlier this month. The ball was recovered by the Patriots’ Kyle Arrington (27) and run into the end zone for a touchdown. At right is punter Brandon Fields (2). Miami fired its special teams coach the day after the game.

There have been three punt returns for touchdowns.

The Chargers? Guilty again.

On opening night, Kansas City rookie Dexter McCluster returned a punt a team-record 94 yards for a touchdown as the Chiefs shocked the Chargers 2114. San Diego’s punt coverage unit is the worst in the NFL, allowing a whopping 26.9 yards per return.

The Chargers, Miami Dolphins and other teams have been reminded the hard way that punts, kickoffs and field goals are more than just a cue for viewers at home that it’s time to grab another beer from the fridge.

“All you think about is offense and defense,” said Chargers fullback Jacob Hester, who’s on the punt and kickoff coverage and return teams. “I think you’ve seen this year special teams is just as big a department in winning and losing games as any.

When coaches say, ‘All three phases,’ and people kind of brush that off, it’s true.”

At least Crosby still has his job.

Miami special teams coordinator John Bonamego was fired 12

hours after a prime-time pratfall in a 41-14 loss to the New England Patriots. Tom Brady barely broke a sweat because special teams carried the night. Two blocked kicks led to touchdowns, and New England’s Brandon Tate returned a kickoff 103 yards for another score.

Three weeks earlier, Tate returned a kickoff 97 yards for a score in an opening day win against the Bengals.

“We’re all responsible for something like that,” Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said. “It shook me up. It should shake them up. And I think that it’s not something anybody likes to do, it’s certainly not something I’m proud of, but it’s something that had to happen at that particular time and if I were them I’d pay attention to it.”

Turner’s “a good man” for supporting him, Crosby said. “He’s got it in the right order. A lot of times, stuff like that, it’s kneejerk. When something happens and the world blows up, now somebody’s got to pay. I’d be the first to tell you, if I thought I couldn’t do the job, I wouldn’t be here.”

Parity

Charlie Riedel / The Associated Press ile

The Kansas City Chiefs were the NFL’s last unbeaten team before losing to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday. player, at quarterback. The Philadelphia Eagles reached five NFC title games in 11 seasons with the duo of Coach Andy Reid and quarterback Donovan McNabb before McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins in the offseason.

In the 2007 season, the Patriots took an 18-0 record into the Super Bowl before they were upset by the New York Giants.

Last season, the NFL had two 13-0 teams for the first time ever, before the Saints lost their final three regular season games and the Colts lost their last two while resting their starters. In the previous five seasons, six NFL teams started 9-0 or better. The members of the ’72 Dolphins at least had to sweat it out in those years. This season, they were safe by Oct. 10.

“I think it’s just one of those years, the luck of the draw,” Giants co-owner John Mara said. “I don’t think there’s any particular significance to that. We do have parity. You look at the talent on the 32 teams, it’s pretty evenly distributed. Sometimes it’s just a matter of the right coaching and the right players staying healthy.”

It’s not that there aren’t teams playing well. There are eight teams with one loss each, five of them in the AFC.

“I don’t think it’s nobody being good,” former NFL coach Mike Ditka said. “I think it’s more parity. You take a look at even an 0-5 team like the 49ers. The 49ers have to find a way to quit shooting themselves in the foot and start winning. There’s a thin line between winning and losing. You watch the Colts. They’re struggling, too, because if you make mistakes and you can’t do certain things, you’re going to have problems.”

The New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens in particular have resembled complete, imposing teams at times, and the Steelers managed to go 3-1 with Dennis Dixon and Charlie Batch splitting the quarterback duties while Roethlisberger served his four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Roethlisberger is scheduled to return to the lineup today.

With him, the Steelers could be a contender to fill the dominantteam void.

“Before this thing’s over, there may be one or two teams sitting there 14-2 or 13-3,” Ditka said.

“That will be pretty dominant, I would think . . . That’s what I feel will happen.”

Identifying a favored team is particularly difficult in the NFC. The Green Bay Packers were a popular choice for a while but are

3-2 and dealing with a lengthy list of injuries. The Chicago Bears are 4-1 but had one particularly dreadful performance, permitting quarterback Jay Cutler to be sacked nine times in the first half of a loss to the Giants two weeks ago. The Atlanta Falcons, at 4-1, might be the conference’s most promising team at the moment.

They and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are ahead of the Saints in the NFC South.

Few preseason prognosticators predicted big things for the Buccaneers or Chiefs this season, but they’re a combined 6-2 after managing only seven wins between them all of last season.

“We’re a team transitioning into trying to become a good team,” Chiefs Coach Todd Haley said after last Sunday’s loss to the Colts. “I’ve been very clear on that. We’re not there. If we had won this game, I’d be saying the same thing because good is much bigger than four games. Good is measured a little differently. But we are transitioning, and we are making progress.”

Mara said he is “not particularly” surprised that there is such balance around the league, even without a salary cap this season, thanks to the lack of an extension of the sport’s labor deal. The disappearance of the salary cap was accompanied by new rules last offseason that further limited which players qualified for unrestricted free agency and curbing free agent signings by the top eight finishers in last season’s playoffs.

Ditka said any bid to purchase a Super Bowl title in an uncapped season wouldn’t have been successful, anyway.

“You can’t buy a championship,” Ditka said. “You’ve got to put the right people in the right places over a period of time. It comes through free agency. It comes through the draft. You assemble a team. It’s like a puzzle: What do I have? What do I need?

What I don’t have, I’ve got to get.”

The lack of a dominant team does not appear to be a significant factor in the slight dropoff in ticket sales league-wide or the potential increase in the num-

ber of games blacked out on local television for failing to sell out the required 72 hours before kickoff. NFL officials have cited the economy for this season’s expected drop in attendance.

The league’s TV ratings remain strong, and Mara said he thinks this season’s anyone-can-win quality is captivating.

“I kind of like it when everyone

has a chance to win,” he said. “It gives a lot of fans hope.

“Unless we’re the dominant team.”

Continued from D1 The two teams that played in last season’s Super Bowl, the Colts and New Orleans Saints, have a modest combined record of 6-4. The Colts already have lost to AFC South rivals Houston and Jacksonville, and their league-record streak of seven straight years with at least 12 regular season victories could be in jeopardy. The Saints, the defending Super Bowl champions, lost to an undrafted rookie quarterback, Max Hall, who made his first NFL start last Sunday in Arizona.

The Colts and Saints are thriving compared to the Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings, teams that met in last season’s NFC playoffs and began this season with Super Bowl aspirations. Each has a record of 1-3, and the two teams play today in Minneapolis in what could amount to a mid-October elimination game.

The NFL always has been known for its parity. The league is set up to promote a regression to the mean. The worst teams from the previous season select first in the NFL draft. A team’s schedule is based in part on where it finished in the standings the year before, so better teams have tougher schedules. The league’s revenue-sharing system was designed to keep franchises on relatively even financial footing, and when the salary cap was in effect, it discouraged teams from attempting to buy a championship. Free agency has made it more difficult than it once was to keep good teams intact.

But that hasn’t stopped minidynasties from emerging and teams from threatening to join the all-time greats. The New England Patriots have won three Super Bowls with Bill Belichick as their coach and Tom Brady as their quarterback. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is a two-time Super Bowl winner.

The Colts have been annual contenders with Peyton Manning, a four-time league most valuable

The Chargers and Dolphins aren’t alone in their gaffes. Kansas City and St. Louis both gambled with onside kicks to open their games last Sunday. Both failed and both teams lost. The Rams also allowed Detroit’s Stefan Logan to return a kickoff 105 yards for a score.

Then there are the Tennessee Titans, who thrive on special teams.

Titans rookie Marc Mariani, a seventh-round draft pick, returned a kickoff 98 yards for a score in a 26-20 loss to Denver in Week 3. His 73-yard return last Sunday set up the winning touchdown at Dallas.

Mariani said special teams are a high priority with Tennessee.

After all, it was Titans special teams coach Alan Lowry who designed Home Run Throwback, the play that led to the Music City Miracle and the wild-card win over Buffalo in January 2000, propelling the Titans to the Super Bowl.

Special teams “can make or break games for you as we’ve all seen,” Mariani said. “My responsibility is in the return game especially, so I focus a ton.”

SAN DIEGO — As wildfires tore through the county in autumn 2007, Chargers special teams coach Steve Crosby tried to bring some levity to the locker room by claiming that a hippopotamus from the San Diego Wild Animal Park had taken refuge from the flames in his swimming pool.

His tale was an eye-opener.

Some people bit hard, including a few at major media outlets. Others rolled their eyes and chuckled.

Three years later, Crosby is dealing with another figurative animal. There’s an elephant in the room, and this big beast isn’t funny at all.

The “special” in special teams play across the NFL this season simply isn’t. San Diego is the flash point, where repeated major meltdowns have overshadowed the high-octane play of Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates, leading to another 2-3 start under Norv Turner.

Seven NFL players have combined for nine kickoff returns for touchdowns through Week 5, putting the league on pace for 30. That would eclipse the record of 25 set in 2007. There’s been at least one kick return for a TD each week, the most to begin a season since the merger in 1970.

The Chargers outdid everybody by allowing Seattle’s Leon Washington to return kickoffs 101 and 99 yards for TDs in the second half of a 27-20 loss on Sept. 26.

“The bad thing about the kicking game is, when something happens bad, everybody in the world sees it,” Crosby said Friday. “And it just takes one guy to mess something up and be in the wrong spot and you have a bad play.”

There have been three combined blocks returned for TDs — two blocked punts and one blocked field goal.

The Chargers? They managed the rare feat of getting consecutive punts blocked at Oakland last week. The first one bounced through the end zone for a safety and the second was returned for a touchdown as the Raiders jumped to an early 12-0 lead en route to a 35-27 victory that snapped a 13-game losing streak to San Diego.

And when Hasselbeck hands the ball off, it’ll be to Lynch, LAKE FOREST, who said, “I almost Ill. — Just to be clear, feel like a rookie all Jay Cutler wasn’t jokover again.” ing when he said he N e x t up The Bears, meanwas looking forward while, are tied with to getting back on the • Seattle Atlanta, Baltimore field.

At the moment, the Bears are the path we’re on.”

Staying on that path largely hard to figure, a mix of positive hinges on the health of Cutler, signs and red flags.

Arizona wide receiver David Douglas, right, goes flying after Washington State safety Deone Buccannon (10) tripped him up during the first quarter of Saturday’s game at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Wash. Also attempting to make the tackle are defensive backs Damante Horton (6) and Tyree Toomer (15).

Running game leads Arizona to win over Washington State The Associated Press PULLMAN, Wash. — With quarterback Nick Foles knocked out of the game with a knee injury, No. 17 Arizona turned to running backs Keola Antolin and Nic Grigsby for offense.

Antolin ran for 92 yards and two touchdowns, and Grigsby added 66 yards and another score as the Wildcats beat Washington State 24-7 Saturday to remain in contention for the Pac-10 title.

Foles, the league’s leading passer, will be out at least two weeks with a sprained knee, coach Mike Stoops said. Backup Matt Scott played nearly three quarters against the Cougars.

“You always have two quarterbacks ready,” Stoops said.

“Matt was OK, a little rusty.”

Arizona (5-1, 2-1 Pac-10) ran 47 times for 142 yards, far above the averages for the league’s top passing team.

“We wanted to come out and establish the run game, and that’s what we did,” said Antolin, who had his best outing of the season.

Despite the win, Stoops was unhappy with inconsistent offensive play that allowed Washington State (1-6, 0-4) to remain within striking distance much of the game.

“We have to play better than we did tonight,” Stoops said.

Arizona managed only 352 yards of offense and 24 points against a defense that was giving up more than 500 yards and 42 per game. The Cougars recorded six sacks.

On the flip side, Washington State had just 297 offensive yards and failed to reach double digits in scoring for the first time this season.

“Missed opportunities and points left on the field,” offensive lineman B.J. Guerra said.

“We’ve got to put it together,” defensive end Travis Long

OSU Continued from D1 At the end, Washington (3-3, 2-1 Pac-10) kept its bowl hopes alive with a victory it absolutely needed with a gauntlet of Arizona, Stanford and Oregon awaiting the next three weeks.

Meanwhile, Oregon State (3-3, 2-1) was stopped short in its attempt to begin conference play 3-0 for the first time in 42 years.

Locker was a big reason why.

He was nearly flawless for the first 20 minutes when Washington jumped to a 21-0 lead. Oregon State rallied to pull even on Jacquizz Rodgers’ touchdown run on the first possession of the second half and it stayed that way through regulation.

The teams exchanged touchdowns in the first overtime, with Rodgers scoring on a 10yard pass from Ryan Katz, and Locker answering with a 17-yard strike to Kearse.

In the second overtime, Washington went first and Locker found Kearse open on a corner route for a 21-yard touchdown on second-and-17.

Katz tried to rally the Beavers.

After getting sacked by Hau’oli Jamora for a 7-yard loss and a false-start penalty, Katz hit Jordan Bishop for 23 yards on third-

added.

Foles was injured with 14:07 left in the second quarter when Long was tripped and rolled into his right leg, knocking him to the ground after a completed pass. Foles limped off the field, supported between two Arizona officials.

Scott completed 14 of 20 passes for 139 yards, but was intercepted once and sacked five times.

Washington State has lost 12 straight Pac-10 games dating to 2008, and has beaten only Montana State this season. But its passing attack continued to improve, with quarterback Jeff Tuel completing 18 of 32 passes for 257 yards, despite being sacked seven times. Freshman Marquess Wilson caught six passes for 131 yards.

Antolin scored on a 9-yard run late in the first for a 7-0 Arizona lead.

Foles had started the first eight plays of their second scoring drive when he was injured.

Scott directed the team over the final 37 yards, with Antolin running up the middle from the 1-yard line for a 14-0 lead.

Arizona threatened in the closing minutes of the first half, moving 71 yards to the 19, but Scott was intercepted by Casey Locker in the final seconds to kill the drive.

Arizona’s 14-0 lead was the first time this season that Washington State was shut out in the first half.

The Wildcats got a break early in the third when Washington State punter Reid Forrest fumbled the snap deep in his own territory. Khyri Knowles dove on the ball at the 7 and, on the first play, Grigsby ran in for a 21-0 lead.

Washington State got on the scoreboard when Tuel hit Wilson with a 23-yard touchdown strike late in the third.

But the Cougars blew a

chance to tighten the game after they stopped Antolin on fourth-and-1 on the first play of the fourth quarter. Running back James Montgomery took a handoff and then threw a backward pass that was deflected

by Arizona’s Brooks Reed and recovered by D’Aundre Reed.

Alex Zendejas eventually kicked a 40-yard field goal for a 24-7 lead.

Tuel connected with Wilson for an 83-yard gain midway through the fourth, giving the Cougars the ball on Arizona’s 12 and Wilson the fourth 100yard game of his rookie season.

But Tuel was intercepted in the end zone to kill the threat.

The game was also costly for Washington State. The Cougars lost offensive lineman David Gonzales to a broken left arm and cornerback Damante Horton to a sprained knee.

Also on Saturday: USC . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .48 California . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .14 LOS ANGELES — Matt Barkley passed for 352 yards and a school record-tying five touchdowns, and Southern California roared to a 42-point halftime lead while snapping its first losing streak in nine years with a victory against California.

Robert Woods and Ronald Johnson caught two scoring passes apiece for the Trojans (52, 2-2 Pac-10), who lost their last two games to Washington and Stanford on field goals at the final gun.

USC overwhelmed the Golden Bears (3-3, 1-2) from the opening drive. The Trojans held Cal scoreless until late in the third quarter, and the offense racked up 372 of its 589 total yards in the first half.

Kevin Riley passed for 193 yards and threw two interceptions in the Bears’ seventh straight loss to USC. Cal hasn’t won at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a decade.

and-20. Then on fourth-and-1 at the 3, Katz’s pass for John Reese fell incomplete, but a late flag from back judge Johnny Jenkins led to a pass-interference call against Desmond Trufant that gave Oregon State a first down.

Rodgers scored from the 2 on the next play to pull Oregon State to 35-34, just moments after celebrating Washington players were shoved off the field.

Beavers coach Mike Riley decided to end it there. But Katz’s throw fell out of Halahuni’s hands and Washington’s celebration was on again.

Locker finished 21 of 35 for 286 yards and ran for another 60 yards. Chris Polk rushed for 105 yards for Washington, while Kearse had nine catches for 146 yards and four touchdowns.

Kearse had TD catches of 16 and 45 yards in the first half.

Rodgers ran for 140 yards on 32 carries and three touchdowns.

He also caught four passes for 49 yards as the Beavers played their first game since Rodgers’ brother, James, was lost for the season because of a serious knee injury.

Katz was 17 of 31 for 206 yards, but threw three interceptions, including once in the end zone

by Washington freshman Sean Parker in the third quarter when the Beavers appeared ready to take the lead. Katz had just one

interception entering Saturday night’s game.

After Rodgers’ 4-yard TD run on the opening drive of the second half, the two teams combined for 13 consecutive scoreless drives.

Not that there weren’t chances for both sides.

Oregon State was poised to take the lead late in the third quarter after a stunning, startand-stop run by Rodgers for 22 yards took the Beavers inside the 10. Katz was sacked on secondand-goal, then on third-and-goal from the 13, floated a poor pass into the end zone that was easily intercepted by Parker.

Washington had a promising drive early in the fourth quarter, working its way to the Oregon State 23. But Locker was sacked

by Dwight Roberson, who came untouched off the edge on third down and Erik Folk’s 45-yard field goal attempt went wide left with 8:49 left.

After holding Oregon State to a three-and-out, Locker made another costly mistake. Locker was rushed to beat the play clock and Dominic Glover hit Locker forcing a fumble that was recovered

by John Braun. It was Locker’s second fumble. On Washington’s first possession, Locker collided with D’Andre Goodwin at the Oregon State 10 and fumbled.

Field goals lift Montana over Portland State The Associated Press PORTLAND — Three fourthquarter field goals by Brody McKnight, including a 25-yarder with no time left, lifted Montana to a 23-21 victory over Portland State on Saturday night.

Montana (5-2, 4-1 Big Sky) marched 54 yards in 10 plays to the winning field goal by McKnight, who connected from 25 and 30 yards earlier in the fourth quarter.

The Vikings (2-4, 1-2), who overcame four lost fumbles to take a late fourth-quarter lead, lost to Montana for the sixth straight time.

Portland State took a 21-20 lead after a 97-yard scoring

drive, which was capped by Sisters High grad Cory McCaffrey’s leap into the end zone from 1 yard out with 2:34 remaining.

Chase Reynolds rushed for 107 yards on 23 carries for the Grizzlies.

Quarterback Connor Kavanaugh led Portland State’s rushers with 131 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. McCaffrey had 109 yards on 24 attempts.

Culver High grad Nevin Lewis had a 92-yard kickoff return for a Portland State touchdown in the second quarter that tied the game 7-7.

Th e new Mike Tyson not like the old one

TOP 25 COLLEGE FOOTBALL ROUNDUP

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — ne little blond kid was bouncing on Mike Tyson’s left leg, while his equally blond toddler brother occupied the other. The former baddest man on the planet once threatened to eat children, but now he was playing with two.

“Me and this baby stuff,” Tyson said as he waited patiently for the children’s father to take a picture with his cell phone. “You believe I’d be doing this stuff?”

Ah, no. Unfortunately, there were precious few cuddly kid moments I witnessed in the years I spent covering the meteoric rise and fall of the ferocious fighter the world was always so infatuated with.

I did see a lot of other moments, some riveting, others simply disgusting. Tailing along while Tyson tried to break arms, bite ears and knock guys silly wasn’t always for the faint of heart, even if you stayed well away from the ring.

He was a brute of a fighter.

He was even worse as a man.

“I got intoxicated with myself,” Tyson admitted. “I didn’t know how empty I was as the champ.”

He hasn’t been a champ now for 14 years, and hasn’t fought for real in five. There will be no return to the ring, he assured me the other day, even if his legions of fans still believe that the Tyson of today could be the Tyson of 20 years ago.

He, more than anyone, knows better. He’s known it for longer than you might think, but the money kept coming and he kept fighting even when he was just going through the motions.

Even that was better than his second life as the former Mike Tyson. A freak show when he was fighting, he became even freakier as a bankrupt junkie who ballooned to 351 pounds and seemed headed either to prison or an extra large casket.

But he’s given up the drugs, and lost much of the weight.

He hasn’t stepped foot in a strip club in two years.

And, incredibly, he’s now in the middle of the most improbable comeback of all.

Meet the new Mike Tyson.

Entertainer, actor, dancer and, yes, comedian extraordinaire.

Watch his latest video. Book him for your next event.

“I took myself way too seriously then, but now I’m a big clown,” Tyson said. “I’m fine with that.”

So are a lot of other people, who are discovering a side of Tyson that would have been unimaginable in the days he was beating up people for a living. They saw him steal a scene in the hit movie “The Hangover,” and watched him dance with Wayne Brady in a hilarious online video remake of the Bobby Brown classic “Every Little Step.”

Making fun of himself comes easy these days for Tyson, and he’s good at it. But there’s more to come in his

Wisconsin running back James White (20) runs from Ohio State’s Andrew Sweat, center, and Brian Rolle (36) during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday in Madison, Wis. Wisconsin upset No. 1 Ohio State 31-18.

No. 18 Wisconsin knocks off No. 1 Ohio State, 31-18 The Associated Press MADISON, Wis. — Ohio State is one and done as No. 1.

John Clay ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns and James White darted in for the clinching score in the fourth quarter as No. 18 Wisconsin took down top-ranked Ohio State 31-18 Saturday night.

For the second week in a row, there will be a new No. 1 in college football, with the Buckeyes (6-1, 2-1 Big Ten) falling the way Alabama was beaten last week — on the road and in conference.

Wisconsin hadn’t defeated a No. 1 since 1981, when the Badgers knocked off Michigan 21-14. This one felt like an upset right from the start.

David Gilreath returned the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown and the Badgers (61, 2-1) proceeded to run over the Buckeyes in the first half, taking a 21-3 lead into the break behind Clay and his blockers.

“I challenged our offensive line at the beginning of the week,” Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said. “If we’re going to have success, it starts with you guys.”

Terrelle Pryor, who threw for 156 yards and ran for another 56, guided Ohio State on two long scoring drives in the second half and Dan Herron capped them both with touchdowns to cut the Wisconsin lead to 21-18 with 11:38 left in the fourth.

But the Badgers responded with another long touchdown drive then added a field goal and now No. 1 is up for grabs again — just in time for the BCS standings to make their season debut today.

Next up at No. 1 in the AP Top 25? Maybe, No. 2 Oregon, which was idle this week and has never been top-ranked before. The Ducks must have enjoyed watching the show at rowdy Camp Randall. No. 3 Boise State and No. 4 TCU also must have been smiling as the scores rolled in from around the country.

Not only did Ohio State lose, so did previously unbeaten No. 5 Nebraska — and the power conference outsiders from Boise State and TCU now have two fewer bluebloods to block the path to the national championship game.

Wisconsin broke a three-game losing streak to the Buckeyes in easily the biggest victory since Bielema took over the program from Barry Alavrez five years ago.

Bielema had been 0-4 against top-10 teams.

Now the Rose Bowl is in reach again for the Badgers.

The Badgers’ fans celebrated big-time, pouring onto the field despite pleas from the PA announcer that it wasn’t safe. They seemed to make it down OK, covering the field and some grabbing a seat on the goal posts.

For Ohio State, its national title hopes are in critical condition after a third straight loss as the No. 1 team in the country. The last two came in the 2007 season, to Illinois in the regular season and in the BCS title game to LSU. The Buckeyes just couldn’t overcome Wisconsin’s dominant first half on Saturday night in front of a pumped up crowd of 81,194.

The Badgers outgained the Buckeyes 19793 in the first 30 minutes, punishing a defense that hadn’t given up a 100-yard rusher in 29 games.

Even after that terrible first half, though, Ohio State responded to the double-digit deficit much the way Alabama did against South Carolina last week, by surging in the third quarter.

First it was a 77-yard touchdown drive that featured some of the best of Pryor, using his arm and legs to make plays. Herron got the Buckeyes’ first touchdown with a 13-yard run out of the wildcat and it was 21-10 with 10:08 left in the third.

Kellen Moore completed 14 of 16 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns before putting on a baseball cap and headset to signal plays in the second half of the latest blowout for the Broncos (6-0, 2-0 WAC).

The Frogs led just 3-0 with two minutes left before halftime when a sack forced the Cougars to punt from their 4-yard line.

Given good field position, Dalton found Josh Boyce on a 35-yard score two plays later.

Texas (4-2, 2-1 Big 12), which came in as a 9½-point underdog, surprised Nebraska (5-1, 1-1) by turning Gilbert loose in the run game for the first time this season. The quarterback ran for 71 yards on 11 carries, scoring from 3 yards and 1 yard, and Cody Johnson had 58 of his 73 yards in the second half.

Murray ran for 112 yards and two TDs, and scored on a screen pass to surpass 1969 Heisman Trophy winner Steve Owens’ record of 57 touchdowns. Owens played before freshmen were eligible.

No. 7 Auburn. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65 No. 12 Arkansas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 AUBURN, Ala. — Cam Newton ran for 188 yards, passed for 140 and accounted for four touchdowns as Auburn beat Arkansas in a wild game, benefiting from a couple of disputed replay calls. The teams set a Southeastern Conference record for most points in a non-overtime game. The previous mark was set in South Carolina’s 65-39 victory over Mississippi State in 1995.

The Crimson Tide (6-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) rebounded from a loss to South Carolina that ended a 19-game winning streak by smothering Jeremiah Masoli and the league’s top scoring offense.

No. 9 LSU. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 32 McNeese State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 BATON ROUGE, La. — Stevan Ridley ran for two touchdowns, Michael Ford added the first two scoring runs of his career and LSU eventually wore down feisty McNeese State.

They’ll need a much better performance next week against No. 7 Auburn, and the crowd at Tiger Stadium must have realized it. The fans booed more than once, despite the Tigers (7-0) pushing their victory margin to double digits in the second half.

Kentucky . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 31 No. 10 South Carolina . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 28 LEXINGTON, Ky. — Randall Cobb caught

a 24-yard touchdown pass with 1:15 remaining then added the two-point conversion to cap a furious second-half for the Wildcats.

Mike Hartline threw for a career-high 349 yards and four touchdowns for Kentucky (43, 1-3 SEC), which overcame an 18-point halftime deficit to stun South Carolina (4-2, 2-2).

No. 11 Utah. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 Wyoming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 LARAMIE, Wyo. — Jordan Wynn passed for 230 yards and two touchdowns, Matt Asiata ran for 109 yards and Utah remained unbeaten. The Utes were held below their 49point scoring average mostly due to three interceptions thrown by Wynn, including two in the end zone. But they still had no problem with Wyoming.

No. 13 Michigan State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 Illinois . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 EAST LANSING, Mich. — Kirk Cousins threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to B.J. Cunningham in the third quarter, helping Michigan State to its best start in more than four decades. The Spartans (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) started slowly a week after beating Michigan, but they outscored the Illini 23-0 in the second half. They are 7-0 for the first time since 1966, when they won their first nine games before famously tying Notre Dame 10-10.

BOXING C O M M E N TA RY odd career path.

He’s going to be featured on cable TV early next year in a series on raising the pigeons he loves.

He’s makes appearances, and he’s got plans to display his tattooed face on the big screen once again.

“I’m going to do some more acting. We’re doing some serious stuff,” Tyson said. “I’m talking big budget movie.”

That kind of talk would have been absurd even a few years ago when Tyson narrowly escaped a prison term for cocaine possession. Tragedy followed last year when one of his daughters died at her Phoenix home after being caught up in a cord on a treadmill.

He brought up his daughter when we talked, and it’s clear he’s still pained by her death. But he also spoke with excitement about the Feb. 1 due date for the boy he and his new wife are expecting.

The battle with drugs, Tyson says, is a daily fight that he must wage to stay clean. So far it’s working, as is the vegetarian diet that has him weighing in about the same as he did late in his career.

“Not a vegetarian, a Vegan,” Tyson corrected me. “I eat stuff like grapes, penne pasta and mushrooms.”

New food. New life. New career.

Best thing yet, though, in the reinvention of Mike Tyson, though, might be his new attitude.

“You reach a point in your life where you find out all you believed in life was a lie and you want to start life all over again,” Tyson said. “I want to be a good person, not just be known as a great person.”

This was about the time I began wondering just how many acting lessons Tyson had been taking. If this was an act, though, he will do well in movies.

Is Tyson really rehabilitated?

Who knows, but he does seem at peace with himself after long tortured years of trying to figure out why everyone wanted to be around him and why nearly everyone wanted a piece of him.

“From the day I was born to 18 months ago I was some crazy tough guy,” Tyson said. “I had an interesting ride, but I’m not bitter. I’m just grateful with my life and what it now is.”

Our talk was about over, and it was time for Tyson to go to work.

On this day it would be making an appearance with two Chinese businessmen who are paying him good money to go to China in December to promote boxing there.

First there was a photo with the kids, who seemed to enjoy their time on his lap. Picture finally taken, their mother gathered them up with a few words of comfort.

“See, he’s not so tough after all,” she said.

Not anymore he’s not. The new Iron Mike wasn’t even tempted to nibble at her kids.

Redmond runs well at Ashland meet Bulletin staff report

Clearwater Continued from D1 “Our passing and serving is coming along,” said Crook County coach Rosie Honl, who was also proud of the team’s accurate hitting.

Central Catholic, which is 9-0 in the Class 6A Mt. Hood Conference this season, boasted nine seniors who were all close to 6 feet tall, according to Honl.

“We’re pretty excited about our play,” Honl noted.

Makayla Lindburg posted a team-high 46 kills for the Cowgirls, while Marissa Pope recorded 36 kills, 29 digs and was 42 of 44 serving with six aces. Kelsi Kemper contributed 91 assists on the day and Braiden Johnston led the team in digs with 45.

“We’re a good team,” Honl said, “but we’re going to be a great team in a few weeks.”

Mountain View also played its way into the gold bracket Saturday after winning pool-play games against South Salem, Ashland and West Albany. The Cougars had the misfortune, though, of running into Central Catholic in the quarterfinal round of bracket play.

Mountain View put on a gutsy performance, even holding a

brief lead in the second game, before the Rams put the match away 25-17, 25-19.

“Those really long rallies really take it away from you,” said Mountain View coach Mallory Larranaga after the loss.

“We’re a short team,” Larranaga offered. “But we have good potential for blocking. We just need to get the strategy behind it.”

Katie Thompson — someone Larranaga called “the hardest working player on the team” — managed 70 assists, 14 digs and four aces on the day. Rachel Buehner and Karlee Markham both tallied 21 digs, and Markham added 21 kills to the stat sheet.

Summit High rebounded from a loss in pool play to win the silver bracket. The Storm went 2-1 in the morning, defeating North Medford and West Salem, but lost to Gresham, ending any chance of playing in the gold bracket.

Summit bounced back in the afternoon, though, topping South Medford, West Linn and West Albany to win the silver bracket.

“We’re right where we want to be,” Storm coach Jill Waskom said. “We had a rough start in the morning, but had a real strong afternoon.”

Redmond High also had a successful day, winning the bronze bracket after finishing third in its

pool. The Panthers split matches with West Linn and St. Mary’s and lost to Roseburg in morning pool-play action, but knocked off Crescent Valley and Reynolds in bracket play before defeating Southridge 25-20, 25-22 in the bronze championship match.

“We were down seven or eight points in some of those matches and came back,” Redmond coach Lisa Pom-Arleau said.

“This gives our girls some confidence. They’re really starting to believe.”

The Panthers, who went 2-2 in Class 6A Special District 1 play this season, play at Bend on Tuesday while waiting to see if they earn an automatic berth into the 6A playoffs or will have to compete in a play-in match.

Pom-Arleau praised the play of outside hitter Sidney Davis, libero Jessica Nurge and middle blocker Natalie Nigg.

Bend High also competed in the tournament, dropping its first two pool-play games, first to Central Catholic and then to Canby before triumphing over Silverton. The Lava Bears went on to lose to Wilson 25-18, 25-12 in bracket play.

“I like where we’re at,” Bend coach Kristin Cooper said. “We just need to not let teams go on runs.”

ASHLAND — Redmond High boasted two top-three finishers at the 29-team State of Jefferson cross-country meet Saturday at Ashland’s Lithia Park.

Trenton Kershner raced to second place in the boys event, finishing in 16 minutes and 32 seconds while helping the Panther boys finish sixth overall with 172 points.

Henley’s Zorg Loustalet won the race in 16:07.

“It was a tough course because you’re either going up or going down the whole time,” said Redmond coach Scott Brown, making Kershner’s time — his second-fastest of the season — all the more impressive, according to Brown.

“He could be running a 15:45 at districts,” Brown added, speaking to Kershner’s potential.

The Panther girls also finished sixth overall (139 points)

PREP ROUNDUP behind Tefna Mitchell’s strong performance. Mitchell took third place in 20:24.

Lora James of Shasta, Calif., won the girls race in 19:21.

Ryan Wilson posted his best time of the season, crossing the finish line in 17:39, which was good enough for 28th place.

Not far behind was Redmond teammate Jared Lambert, who stopped the clock at 17:53 (36th place).

Dakota Steen finished the girls race in 25th (21:51) and Ine Raa managed a 33rd-place result (22:20) for the Panthers.

Ashland won the girls team overall with 36 points while Roseburg took top team honors among the boys squads with 59 points.

Redmond next competes at the Central Valley Conference district meet on Oct. 27 at Sa-

lem’s Bush Park.

LEGAL NOTICE TRUSTEE’S NOTICE OF SALE. Reference is made to that certain trust deed made by Teri Jean Reich, fka Teri Jean Cobo, as grantor, to WESTERN TITLE & ESCROW COMPANY, as trustee, in favor of IAA CREDIT UNION, a Credit Union organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois, as beneficiary, dated May 22, 2008, recorded on May 28, 2008, in the Records of Deschutes County, Oregon, as document number 2008-23198, covering the following described real property situated in that county and state: Parcel 1, Partition Plat No. 2008-4, recorded January 14, 2008 as Document No. 2008-01674, Deschutes County Records, being a replat of Lot 1, Block 4, WOODRIVER VILLAGE, City of Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon. Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the real property to satisfy the obligations secured by the trust deed and a notice of default has been recorded pursuant to Oregon Revised Statutes §86.735(3).

No-

tice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or deed of trust, and in addition to paying those sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with the trustee and attorney fees not exceeding the amounts provided by ORS 86.753. In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2010

JOHN COS TA

The most important index to our future A

mid all the noise of an election campaign, good thoughts can be detected, if you listen closely.

And if you are particularly attentive, you’ll discover that the same good thoughts can come from candidates of different political stripes.

This has nothing to do with the forcefully uttered, generally shared truisms that pass for positions.

“The economy is a mess. Taxes are too high. Public schools need a shakeup. We have to encourage a private economy.”

And a favorite: “We need to plan for the future,” which is reassuring on several levels, not the least of which is knowing that we are not forming committees to plan for the past.

These pearls of wisdom transcend party identity. We hear them from all sides, from politicians who have, despite their proclaimed issue differences, been drinking the same Kool-Aid. Who knows where the vat is, but two things must be true: It must be big, and it must have bipartisan spigots.

So, what was said that was really interesting and unique?

Folks in the world of business and investment understand this, I’m sure, but for the uninitiated like me, two candidates said something that I think we should all keep in mind.

One was Treasurer Ted Wheeler, a Democrat running for re-election, and the other was Chris Dudley, the Republican candidate for governor.

Both were among the 90 or so candidates for all offices who came to The Bulletin for editorial board interviews.

Wheeler said that if there is one thing more important than any other, it is “per capita income.” If we don’t find the means, he said, to increase per capita income in Oregon, we will never catch up with all we expect from the government.

Per capita income is the most important index to our future.

A week or so later, Dudley came in and said essentially the same thing.

Increasing per capita income is the key, he said, and the best index of the future.

It’s easy to understand why.

With a state dependent on the income tax, and a government whose costs grow every year, either the wage base grows, or the deficit grows.

It’s not that hard to understand.

Without increasing buying dollars (tax receipts) of the public product (state services and the current and legacy costs), we are sunk.

As an Oregon university president said recently, it’s General Motors all over again. Unless, like GM, we can depend on a federal bailout or a loan, the only option is to increase the buying capacity of the public, which means a business environment that creates better jobs.

Wheeler said the public charge card is maxed out, eliminating the remaining option.

So it gets back to per capita income and the question of how it is doing.

To answer that, University of Oregon economist Tim Duy sent me to the Bureau of Economic Analysis and advised me to consider our per capita income record against that of all states.

Says Duy, “If income is growing slower than the rest of the nation, the basket of goods and services you can purchase is less than other parts of the nation. Does this imply a competitive disadvantage?

I think so, especially given that relative wage growth has been disappointing.”

Oregon reached 97 percent of the U.S. average per capita income in 1995. We stayed at that level through 1997.

But then we began to consistently fall, through all the good times and the current recession through 2008, when we hit 91 percent, which is a huge drop.

The data for 2009 is not available, but it is wishful thinking to believe it is anything but worse.

Given the economic times, it is not surprising that we focus on how to cut the government, especially as businesses cut employees, wages and payrolls. Whether we be Democrat or Republican, the only short term question is, what to cut?

But we should focus on the long term, and the candidate who should get your vote is the one who you think has the best ideas for increasing per capita income.

teacher’s seat?

Top U.S. college students have little interest in careers as educators, a trend made more troubling by a looming shortage of teachers

By Paul Kihn and Matt Miller Special to The Washington Post

W

hy don’t more of our smartest, most accomplished college graduates want to become teachers?

People trying to improve education in this country have been talking a lot lately about boosting “teacher effectiveness.” But nearly COMME all such efforts focus on the teachers who are already in the classroom, instead of seeking to change the caliber of the people who enter teaching in the first place.

Three of the top-performing school systems in the world — those in Finland, Singapore and South Korea — take a different approach, recruiting 100 percent of their teachers from the top third of their high school and college students. Simply put, they don’t take middling students and make them teachers.

They tap their best people for the job.

Of course, academic achievement isn’t the whole story in these countries. They screen would-be teachers for other important qualities, and they invest heavily in training teachers and in retaining them for their entire careers. But scholastic prowess comes first: You don’t get through the classroom door in Finland, Singapore N T A R Y or South Korea without having distinguished yourself academically. In the United States, by contrast, only 23 percent of new teachers scored among the top third of SAT and ACT test-takers back in high school. In high-poverty schools, that figure is just 14 percent.

This shouldn’t come as news. The late Sandra Feldman, president of the American Federation of Teachers from 1997 to 2004, was open about the problem as far back as 2003.

State needs to rethink land deal

I

f the Department of State Lands really does wish to begin investing in privately owned land around Oregon, let’s hope that it does a far better job than it has in its first attempt. The de-

partment’s decision to purchase just under a half an acre in Bend’s Old Mill District is so riddled with problems it doesn’t bode well for similar purchases in the future.

Most glaring is the ethical issue that still must be sorted out. The land in question is owned in part by the parents of DSL administrator James Paul, and it is not clear whether the conflict of interest he has in the matter was handled correctly. Among other things, he and his mother disagree about who informed whom that the land was for sale. Fortunately, Gov. Ted Kulongoski recognizes that appearances count where such things are concerned, and he has forwarded the whole mess to the state’s Government Ethics Board. While it may turn out that legally, at least, everything is up to par, it certainly smells bad.

There are other problems, as well, however.

The land in question currently generates more than $3,000 annually in property taxes that go to the city of Bend, Deschutes County and BendLa Pine Schools, among others. If the state purchases it, the lot comes off the tax rolls unless it is leased to someone who is not exempt from paying property taxes. While the loss of some portion of $3,200 in taxes surely won’t break any of the agencies that currently benefit from the payments, they’re hardly in a position to be pleased about losing any tax revenues, and the state appears to have given no thought to making payments in lieu of the uncollected taxes.

Meanwhile, that particular problem grows worse as time goes on. If the

state sits on the property for years, lost tax revenues begin to add up to real money.

As for the proposed purchase itself, unanswered questions remain.

High on the list is the possibility that the land may be contaminated, lying as it does in an area that has been filled with soil from unknown sources. Some other areas in the Old Mill District have been contaminated, and cleanup has been necessary. Too, the state did not seek an independent appraisal of the property, a practice that should be routine in such situations.

Finally, it’s unclear if the state has any real sense of where it is going with potential land investments. At one point several years ago there was discussion of investing in agricultural land, at least in part because it already was largely exempt from property taxes. Now that seems to have changed. Most good investors will tell you that without a road map, investing is tricky business at best, whether it be in stocks or real estate.

It may be that DSL’s decision to purchase property as an investment for the state’s Common School Fund is a good one. For now, however, it isn’t.

Too many questions surround this first attempt at doing so, and unless each one can be answered satisfactorily, Oregon should get out of the land speculation business.

My Nickel’s Worth Wyden has track record of helping create jobs I’m a pragmatist who cares about job creation. To me, that’s the main issue for the upcoming election. Party sound bites aside, I want to see a record of real, rational steps to create jobs. Few, if any, candidates have done more locally than Sen. Ron Wyden.

When overzealous regulators tried to enforce new rules that would have shut down or severely curtailed kit plane builders such as local companies Lancair and Epic Aircraft, Wyden took the FAA to the mat. The FAA backed down.

Wyden funded a test program to help Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) connect small high-tech or science-based companies with venture capitalists in order to gain access to funding. That program has already paid for itself, assisting local firm G5 in its recent quest for capital to expand.

Three years ago, Wyden led the development of a regional agenda to improve recreation assets and begin development of an overall recreation strategy. Local leaders are now building on that effort to increase the draw of recreation and tourism not only as revenue generators in themselves but as a way to turn visitors into settlers.

And this week AOPA, the national Association of Aircraft Owners and Pilots, listed Wyden as one of four senators who champion small airport issues. His support of aviation-related transportation issues helps all of our area airports: Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Sun River and Madras.

Brown proved he’s the best choice for the county I’ve been following Dallas Brown’s campaign for County Commission

since before the primary election, and I was so impressed with his performance at the recent “Talk of the Town” debate. His evolution as a candidate speaks volumes to the kind of work ethic, intelligence and energy Brown would bring to the commission. He clearly presented himself as the best choice for Deschutes County.

Brown proved himself well-versed on the issues, and had practical solutions to the problems facing the county. He was more knowledgeable and had much more cohesive answers than his opponent. There was no doubt he won the debate.

Brown would bring a refreshing perspective to help move our county from the shortsighted policies and uninspired leadership of the past. His thoughts on aggressively reforming regulations to make the county more business-friendly and increasing transparency in government would be a much-needed change from the status quo.

I never thought I could get so excited about a County Commission race, until I met Brown. He is truly a remarkable leader. His ability to engage and energize voters speaks volumes about how he will govern. Please join me in voting for Brown for Deschutes County commissioner.

Pat Ackley Sunriver

DeBone different from many other politicians At a time when there is so much polarization in the air and it seems that candidates are being pulled to opposite extremes, I am happy to “reach across the aisle” and throw my support to Tony DeBone for Deschutes County commissioner.

I’ve gotten to know DeBone over the past two years and think he is just what this county needs. He has a strong private-sector background

in technology, grounded ideas about economic development opportunities and brings a real focus on jobs.

DeBone was the engine behind the recent funding of the La Pine Park and Recreation District — an important step for south county residents as they seek to offer programs for kids and steward their incredible natural landscape.

Significantly, his election would bring important geographic balance to the commission, with one representative each from Bend, Redmond and La Pine.

Finally, DeBone is a collaborator and a great listener. I encourage you to get to know DeBone — he’s not like a lot of other politicians out there.

City of Redmond, fire department need to stick together

By Edward P. Fitch Bulletin guest columnist

O

ver the next two weeks, the voters of Redmond will be asked to separate the fire department from the city. The primary reason given is that there is a disparity in the percentage of calls the Fire Department responds to inside the city as opposed to the rural areas. Currently, about 63 percent of the residents within the proposed district boundary live inside the city limits and 37 percent live in the rural district.

Approximately 70 percent of the calls that the fire department responds to are inside the city. It is no surprise, however, that there would be such a

disparity. Inside the city is where our children go to school, people work and shop. Many of these calls are also in response to tourists who are visiting the community. In that light, this “disparity” in the percentage of the calls either inside the city or in the rural areas is neither unfair nor a sound basis for this election.

Finally, it is unclear why this argument is even being made. If these measures should pass, the disparity would not change. There would continue to be the same percentage of calls inside the city as before.

The other principal arguments for decoupling the fire department from the city appear to be:

IN MY VIEW 1. If the fire department is not separated from the city, the firefighters union will have to compete with other employees for higher wages or benefits; and 2. If the fire department is not separated from the city, the rural fire district could start its own department.

These reasons, potential gains for a public employees union and a threat to establish a rural fire department, are not sound reasons to disrupt a system that has worked very well for a long time. The public employees firefighters union should compete with other pub-

lic employees so that the taxpayer is protected. It is also difficult to imagine the district forming a new fire department without raising taxes outside of the city.

The Redmond Fire Department has served the community with distinction. The department is well-trained, and Tim Moor has provided excellent leadership as the Redmond fire chief.

Currently, we have a department that is integrated with other public services, such as police, public works and planning. All of these departments work together to ensure that public safety and proper planning are done on a community-wide basis. The decoupling of the fire department would undermine

that coordination between the various departments.

More troubling, however, is that this “silo” approach to public services creates an environment wherein each district will consider themselves to be of the higher priority and will seek additional monies from the taxpayers in the years to come. If this measure passes, I predict that the rural fire department will be back to the voters with a tax increase within five to seven years.

I recommend a “no” vote on the annexation ballot measures for the Redmond Fire Department.

Edward P. Fitch is the former mayor of Redmond.

O Awash in deficits and depression W

e will learn in November just how angry the public is about a lot of things, from higher taxes to massive unemployment.

But the popular uproar pales in comparison to the sense of humiliation that we Americans are quite broke. In 2008, the public was furious at George W. Bush, not because he was too much of a right-wing tightwad, but because he ran up a series of what were then thought to be gargantuan deficits. The result was that under a supposedly conservative administration, and despite six years of an allegedly smallgovernment Republican Congress, the deficit nearly doubled from $3.3 trillion to $6.3 trillion in just eight years.

Barack Obama apparently never figured out that he had been elected in part because that massive Republican borrowing had sickened the American people. So in near-suicidal fashion, he took Bush’s last scheduled budget deficit of more than $500 billion — in a Keynesian attempt to get the country out of the 2008 recession and financial panic — and nearly tripled it by 2010. Obama’s new red ink will add more than $2.5 trillion to the national debt — with near-trillion-dollar yearly deficits scheduled for the next decade.

All of that will result in a U.S. debt of more than $20 trillion.

What exactly is it about big deficits and our accumulated debt that is starting to enrage voters?

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON First, the public is tired of the nonchalant way that smarmy public officials take credit for dishing out someone else’s cash without a thought of paying for it. Each week, President Obama promises another interest group more freshly borrowed billions, now euphemistically called “stimulus.” But the more public money he hands out to states, public employees, the unemployed or the green industry, the more voters wonder where in the world he’s getting the cash. The next time a public official puts his name on yet another earmarked federal project, let him at least confess whether it was floated with borrowed money.

Second, there is a growing sense of despair that even vastly increased income taxes cannot cover the colossal shortfalls. At least the old Clinton tax rates of the 1990s balanced the budget.

But should we bring them back, we would still run a deficit of more than $1 trillion in 2011 — given the vast increases in federal spending.

That bleak reality creates hopelessness — and anger — among voters,

who feel they are being taken for fools by their elected officials. The public opposes tax hikes not because they don’t wish to pay down the debt, but because they suspect the increased revenue will simply be a green light for even greater deficit spending.

Third, it does no good for Beltway technocrats to explain how deficits are good at “stimulating” the economy, or why they do not really have to be paid back. Voters know that such gibberish does not apply to their own mortgages and credit card bills.

Voters feel relieved when they can pay off debt and become chronically depressed when they cannot. When the government last balanced the budget in 2000 under the Clinton administration and the Republican Congress, the country collectively experienced as much of a psychological high as it is now collectively experiencing humiliation over being ridiculed as a spendthrift borrower.

So national reputation and sense of self also matter. Americans are tired of hearing about inevitable Chinese ascendency and American decline.

They know China is still in many ways a repressive developing country facing huge political, environmental and demographic challenges. But Americans also concede that China’s huge budget and trade surpluses result in trillions of dollars in cash reserves — and hence global clout, world respect

and a promising future that seems not likewise true of spend now/pay later America.

Fourth, there is real fear that something terrible will soon come from this unsustainable level of spending.

Interest rates are at historic lows. But if they should rise, just servicing the current debt would cost even more hundreds of billions in borrowed dollars. Soon, we will face a bleak choice of either slashing national defense or Social Security — or both — just when the nation is graying and the world is becoming more dangerous than ever. Will the Chinese lend us the money to deploy an aircraft carrier off their coast, or finance new American health-care entitlements that they cannot afford for 400 million of their own people?

In this upcoming election, all the old political pluses — years of incumbency, entrenched seniority and porkbarrel earmarks — are proving to be liabilities. Instead, the more public officials admit to being in control when trillions of dollars were run up, the more Americans want them gone.

We are humiliated by what we owe.

If we cannot pay it back, we will at least want political payback.

It’s that simple this year.

computers in the first grade. Boys and girls alike are expected to finish high school at least.

It’s peaceful and pro-Western, without the widespread fundamentalism and terrorism that afflict Yemen. Granted, Yemen may be the most beautiful country in the Arab world, but my hunch is that many of the young Westerners who study Arabic there will end up relocating to Oman because of the tranquility here.

It’s particularly striking how the role of women has been transformed. One 18-year-old university student I spoke to, Rihab Ahmed al-Rhabi, told me (in fluent English) of her interest in entrepreneurship. She also told me, affectionately, about her grandmother who is illiterate, was married at age 9 and bore 10 children.

As for al-Rhabi, she mentioned that she doesn’t want to bog herself down with a husband anytime soon. Otherwise, what if her husband didn’t want her to study abroad? And when she does eventually marry, she mused, one child would be about right.

Al-Rhabi was a member of the Omani all-girls team that won the gold medal in an entrepreneurship competition across the Arab world last year. The contest was organized by Injaz, a superb organization that goes into schools around

the Arab world to train young people in starting and running small businesses.

The stand-out young entrepreneurs in Oman today are mostly female: Nine of the 11 finalists in this year’s Oman entrepreneurship contest were all-girl teams.

The winning team bowled me over.

The members started as high school juniors by forming a company to publish children’s picture books in Arabic.

They raised capital, conducted market research, designed and wrote the books and oversaw marketing and distribution.

“We’re now looking at publishing ebooks,” explained Ameera Tariq, a high school senior and a member of the board

DOWD Republicans are also gearing up to start re-sliming Valerie Plame Wilson and Joe Wilson when the movie based on their memoirs, “Fair Game,” opens next month. Robert Luskin, a lawyer for Rove who considered Plame collateral damage and labeled her “fair game,” dismissively told Sheryl Gay Stolberg of The New York Times that the Wilsons are “a little past their ‘sell-by’ date.”

It’s hard to believe that it was seven years ago when the scandal of the Glamorous Spy and Showboating Ambassador exploded. Joe Wilson first accused the Boy Emperor of not wearing any clothes on the Iraq WMD, and then charged the Bush White House with running a “smear campaign” against him and outing his wife as a CIA spy. He was right on all counts and brave to take on a White House that broke creative new ground in thuggery and skullduggery.

But it was child’s play for the Republicans to undermine the former diplomat and the spy who loved him. Wilson was “pretty widely known as a loudmouth,”

as the movie’s director Doug Liman put it, and overstepped at times, posing for Vanity Fair in his Jaguar convertible with his wife coyly cloaked in scarf and sunglasses.

While her husband was in his promotional whirlwind, Plame was in her reticent cloud, her air of blonde placidity belying her anguish at being betrayed and her disgust that Cheney Inc. bullied the CIA, overriding skepticism about Saddam’s weapons system and warping intelligence.

“It’s called counter-proliferation, Jack,” Naomi Watts’ Plame says to her superior. “Counter.”

The movie makes clear that Plame was not merely “a secretary” or “mediocre agent” at the agency, as partisan critics charged at the time, but a respected undercover spy tracking Iraqi WMD efforts.

And it reiterates that Plame did not send her husband, who had worked in embassies in Iraq while Saddam and Bush Senior were in charge and was the ambassador in two African countries, on the fact-finding trip to Niger about a possible Iraqi purchase of 500 tons of yellowcake uranium. She merely acted as an intermediary when a colleague threw his name into the hat for the unpaid gig.

The film creates composites to heighten the tension and suggests that Plame’s

K

Iraqi contacts and their families were murdered once she was outed — a subplot Variety called “apocryphal and manipulative.”

But the movie is a vivid reminder of one of the most egregious abuses of power in history, and there are deliciously diabolical turns by actors playing Scooter Libby, David Addington and Rove. Plame’s CIA bosses are portraits in cravenness, cutting her loose at the moment she starts receiving death threats and her Iraqi sources become endangered.

Liman, who grew up watching his father Arthur’s Buddha-like interrogations during the Iran-Contra hearings, does not use an Oliver Stone sledgehammer on history. He views the scandal through the lens of the Wilsons’ marriage, which snaps for a time under the strain of being hounded by the most powerful men on earth.

Costumed with lush mane and round paunch, Sean Penn is well suited to capture Wilson’s arrogance and mouthiness, while also showing his honesty, brazenness, sly charm and fierce love of wife and country.

They were the Girl and Boy Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, and we should all remember what flew out.

Maybe one of the customers for a future electronic picture book will be her grandmother, who was married at the age of 12 and has never learned to read.

In short, one of the lessons of Oman is that one of the best and most cost-effective ways to tame extremism is to promote education for all.

Many researchers have found links between rising education and reduced conflict. One study published in 2006, for example, suggested that a doubling of primary school enrollment in a poor country was associated with halving the risk of civil war. Another found that raising the average educational attainment in a country by a single grade could significantly reduce the risk of conflict.

Sorry if this emphasis on education sounds like a cliché. It’s widely acknowledged in theory, and President Barack Obama pledged as a candidate that he would start a $2 billion global education fund. But nothing has come of it. Instead, he’s spending 50 times as much this year alone on American troops in Afghanistan — even though military solutions don’t have as good a record in trouble spots as education does.

The pattern seems widespread: Everybody gives lip service to education, but nobody funds it.

For me, the lesson of Oman has to do with my next stops on this trip: Afghanistan and Pakistan. If we want to see them recast as peaceful societies, then let’s try investing less in bombs and more in schools.

A MAUREEN

s Barack Obama struggles to rekindle the magic, one of the most pathetic headlines was the one on a CNN poll last week: “Was Bush a Better President than Obama?”

“Americans are divided over whether President Barack Obama or his predecessor has performed better in the White House,” the CNN article said.

So now the Republican president who bungled wars and the economy and the Democratic president trying to dig out are in a dead heat?

America’s long-term economic woe has led to short-term memory loss. Republicans are on the rise again, and the candidates are crazier than ever. And crazy is paying dividends: Sharron Angle, the extreme Republican candidate for the Senate in Nevada, vacuumed up $14 million in the last quarter in her crusade to knock out Harry Reid — the kind of money that presidential candidates dream of collecting.

Karl Rove has put together a potent operation to use anonymous donors to flood the airwaves with attack ads against Democrats. And a gaunt-looking Dick Cheney is out of the hospital and back to raking in money defending torture and pre-emptive war. He, Lynne Cheney, Rove, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Laura Bush drew more than 10,000 people at $495 a pop to a conference in Bakersfield, Calif., last weekend.

Finding the energy for new frontiers ishore Mahbubani, the dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, is over for tea and I am telling him about what I consider to be the most exciting, moon-shot-quality, high-aspiration initiative proposed

by President Barack Obama that no one has heard of. It’s a plan to set up eight innovation hubs to solve the eight biggest energy problems in the world. But I explain that the program has not been fully funded yet because Congress, concerned about every dime we spend these days, is reluctant to appropriate the full $25 million for each center, let alone for all eight at once, so only three are moving ahead. But Kishore interrupts me midsentence.

“You mean billion?” he asks. “No,” I say. “We’re talking about $25 million.”

“Billion,” he repeats. “No. Million,” I insist. The Singaporean is aghast. He simply can’t believe that at a time when his little city-state has invested more than a billion dollars to make Singapore a biomedical science hub and attract the world’s best talent, America is debating about spending mere millions on gamechanging energy research.

But let’s start with the good news: a shout-out for Obama’s energy, science and technology team for thinking big.

Soon after taking office, they proposed what Energy Secretary Steven Chu calls “a series of mini-Manhattan Projects.” In the fiscal year 2010 budget, the Department of Energy requested financing for “Energy Innovation Hubs” in eight areas: smart grid, solar electricity, carbon capture and storage, extreme materials, batteries and energy storage, energy efficient buildings, nuclear energy, and fuels from sunlight.

In each area, universities, national labs and private industry were invited to put together teams of their best scientists and research ideas to win $25 million a year for five years, to, as Chu put it, “accelerate the normal progress of science and technology for energy research” and thereby “discover and commercialize the energy breakthroughs we need” and thereby spawn new jobs and industries.

So far Congress has appropriated partial funding — “up to $22 million” but probably less — for three of these hubs for one year. So Penn State and two national labs will develop energy efficient building designs. Oak Ridge National Laboratory will lead a team to model new nuclear reactors, and the California Institute of Technology and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will work on revolutionary ways to generate fuels from sunlight. Chu is now trying to persuade Congress to finance those three again for 2011, as well as at least one more: batteries.

In my view, Congress should be funding all eight right now for five years — $1 billion — so that we not only get graduate students, knowing the research money is there, flocking to these new energy fields but we get the benefit of all these scientists collaborating and cross-fertilizing.

Chu, who holds a Nobel Prize in physics, says he understands and respects that Congress has to make tough budgeting choices today, so I cannot get him to utter one word of criticism about our lawmakers’ spending priorities. But he waxes eloquent about what it would mean for American innovation if we could actually fully pay for this focused moon shot on energy.

The idea behind the hubs, explained Chu, is to “capture the same spirit” that produced radar and the first nuclear bomb. That is, “get Nobel Prize winners in physics working side by side with engineers” — not to produce an academic paper but “to solve a problem in a way that will actually be deployed.”

“We don’t want incremental improvements,” said Chu. “We want real leaps — game-changing” breakthroughs — like a 75 percent reduction in energy used in a commercial building through affordable design and software improvements. “America has shown we can do this,” concluded Chu. “The scientists and engineers see the problem; they see the opportunity; they see what is at stake, and they want to help.” That is why we should fully fund all eight now.

All of this reminds me of my favorite business quote from a consultant who had worked on the German technology giant, Siemens. He said: “If Siemens only knew what Siemens knows, it would be a rich company.” Ditto America. We still have all the right stuff.

Oman sets an example for U.S., world MUSCAT, Oman — s the United States relies on firepower to try to crush extremism in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, it might instead consider the lesson of the remarkable Arab country of Oman.

Just 40 years ago, Oman was one of the most hidebound societies in the world. There was no television, and radios were banned as the work of the devil.

There were no Omani diplomats abroad, and the sultan kept his country in almost complete isolation.

Oman, a country about the size of Kansas, had just six miles of paved road, and the majority of the population was illiterate and fiercely tribal. The country had a measly three schools serving 909 pupils — all boys in primary grades. Not one girl in Oman was in school.

Oman’s capital city, Muscat, nestled among rocky hills in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula, was surrounded by a traditional wall. At dusk, the authorities would fire a cannon and then close the city’s gates for the night. Anyone seen walking outside without a torch at night was subject to being shot.

Oman was historically similar to its neighbor, Yemen, which now has become an incubator for al-Qaida-affiliated terrorists. But, in 1970, Oman left that fundamentalist track: The sultan’s son deposed his father and started a stunning modernization built around education for boys and girls alike.

Visit Oman today, and it is a contemporary country with highways, sleek new airports, satellite TV dishes and a range of public and private universities.

O My Nickel’s Worth Stiegler’s work on education ineffective State Rep. Judy Stiegler has long been active in educational affairs. She has served on the Bend-La Pine School Board and the state Board of Education and has been president of a national education board association.

She now influences educational trends as a state legislator. But has her educational work been effective? Perhaps not.

We hear calls for increased educational funding, but additional funds are not needed. The Cato Institute reports that K-12 inflation-adjusted funding has increased by 375 percent since 1970, but the achievement levels of 17-year-olds haven’t budged. A 2006 international student evaluation shows U.S. student achievement has reached a new low. The evaluation found U.S. students, age 15, were ranked below 29 other countries in science knowledge and below 35 countries in math skills.

Students from a local school district scored slightly higher on college placement exams than other Oregon students. This is expected because the school district pushes advanced placement courses and even pays tuition for students to study at the local community college.

The K-12 system is gender-biased against boys. They are more likely to quit school than girls.

More women qualify for college than men; women now earn 26 percent more bachelor’s degrees than men.

We have serious academic and social deficiencies in the K-12 system. Although Stiegler has held several influential educational positions, the deficiencies persist. We need a legislator who has bold ideas, leadership skills and a desire to reform the education system. I believe Jason Conger has those attributes.

Wyden is an effective, sensible senator It’s very interesting that the recent letters on the U.S. Senate race seem to be negative rants regarding Sen. Ron Wyden. Surely Wyden has done some things well since taking office. For instance: When you compare Wyden’s record to Huffman’s rhetoric, it is clear we should re-elect Wyden.

Wyden voted against the $700 billion bailout for Wall Street.

Huffman supports it.

Wyden is fighting the abduction of Social Security by the private sector.

Huffman supports the idea, which makes no sense considering how well the private sector has managed home mortgages.

Wyden wants to help struggling families hold on to their homes.

Huffman opposes that as well.

Wyden voted to keep thousands of Oregon teachers on the job.

Huffman would rather give them pink slips, sacrificing more jobs in Oregon at the expense of our children’s already compromised education.

Wyden is pushing a balanced, sensible Eastside Forest Plan to create jobs and protect the health of our forests.

Huffman wants a return to the same divisive, winner-take-all attitude gridlocking forest management for decades.

If you want an effective, sensible senator who fights for you, support Wyden. I am.

Stiegler and Wyden are just liberal drones “It’s 6 a.m. Beep … beep … beep. …” The morning alarm rings and Judy Stiegler, D-Bend, sits bolt upright in her bed.

Curlers and bobby pins flying, into her minivan and over the mountain to Salem to cut beer taxes, create jobs and give the governor a piece of her mind.

From her radio spot, you’d think Stiegler is Ronald Reagan’s more conservative sister!

As a rubber-stamp Democrat mediocrity, Stiegler fully supported the governor’s agenda and together helped him orchestrate a $577 million budget shortfall.

Stiegler helped drive Oregon’s unemployment rate to one of the

highest in the nation by voting for all but one of the Democratcontrolled Legislature’s idiotic, job-destroying tax increases.

And the beer tax she so generously wants to roll back — put in place by her pals, the Democrats.

Another mediocrity is Sen. Ron Wyden, author of the principled “Wyden Healthcare Plan,” who was so easily rolled by Harry Reid into supporting the inferior Obama health plan.

Now Wyden is backpedaling from his vote and from Obama’s plan because it’s so overwhelmingly unpopular with voters.

Ron Wyden, a pillar of principle.

Please elect Jason Conger for Oregon House District 54 and Jim Huffman for the U.S. Senate and spare us from these liberal drones.

Conger, Huffman win hearts of volunteers Grass roots. Having worked on the campaigns of Jason Conger, GOP candidate for the Oregon House District 54 seat, and Jim Huffman, GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate, I am well-versed in this approach. My journey kicked into high gear while helping plan July’s Bend tea party forum for Huffman. His introduction was given by Conger, whose values complement Huffman’s at the local level.

Conger began his campaign early last spring, had attended many tea party events, and was running a well-organized campaign with the help of over 200 local volunteers. Huffman was beginning to get his name out and at the forum persuaded 100 skeptical voters he was their guy for the U.S. Senate.

Since July, I have joined countless others in making phone calls, walking precincts, manning booths and registering voters. I have watched closely the interaction between these candidates and the public. Conger would bring a fresh approach to Oregon politics. Coming from a no-frills background has helped him develop his extraordinary work ethic.

Huffman has taken leave from his position as dean of law at Lewis and Clark because he knows he can make a difference in Washington. His years at the college surrounded by many with a liberal bent have prepared him for the difficult discussions and decisions awaiting him in Washington, D.C. What I find most impressive about both men is the deep respect they give to their volunteers. I have spent enough quality time with each to know they are the real deal. These men have earned my vote, and hopefully through this message, yours.

Conger is the new leader we need Over the last month, state Rep. Judy Stiegler has attempted to make her case to area voters that she deserves another term in Salem. Her arguments were essentially that she was doing more good than harm when it comes to job creation and economic development.

The problem is, her record in Salem does not bear this out.

Last year, Stiegler argued for — and helped pass — the largest tax increase in Oregon history.

When ballots were counted on Stiegler’s tax increase, she happily declared that, “I’m relieved and I’m grateful.” The problem is, local voters soundly rejected the tax-increase ballot measures.

It’s indisputable that the tax increases are costing Oregon jobs. Local businesses and others throughout the state have already cited the tax increases as the cause of local job losses.

The simple fact is that Stiegler has done more harm than good.

Her decision to raise taxes on businesses during one of the worst recessions in a generation as well as her disposition to increase government spending at unsustainable levels are bankrupting our state.

It’s time for new leadership.

Leadership that will focus on ideas that turn our economy around — not increased government spending and higher taxes that just drive wealth and entre-

preneurs out of our state.

This fall, Bend voters have a choice. They can continue to accept the rhetoric and lip service on job creation and controlling state spending — or they can elect someone new. I believe that the better choice is Jason Conger.

Stop attacking public employees Reading the Bulletin lately has been pretty interesting. There’s been a series of articles on the three candidates for District 54, Judy Stiegler, Jason Conger and Mike Kozak. The really interesting item about these candidates is that all three of them are attacking public employees and demanding wage cuts, increased health insurance contributions and reduction/elimination of the 6 percent PERS contribution which benefited the state when it was implemented.

The average public employee does not set policy or determine what programs get funded.

That is our elected officials’ job.

Hmmm …!

Here we have three people who are attacking public employees that have no control over the process but the candidates want to help balance the budget off of their backs. I offer a partial solution. I will vote for any of the three candidates that will state in the press that they will donate 25 percent of any salary/benefits they receive as an elected official to Oregon’s general fund if they are elected.

If any of them really believe that public employees should bear the brunt of poor decisions made by elected politicians, then they should be willing to step up and share the pain. Well, who gets my vote?

Marv Brophy Bend

Stiegler a disaster for the private sector I heard Judy Stiegler’s ad this morning on the radio, claiming she voted to trim the budget and save jobs. My immediate reaction was a near-involuntary return of my breakfast. History demonstrates Stiegler did neither, supporting the job-killing tax increases despite the warning of business owners like Phil Knight of Nike, and the resulting loss of business, as was the case with Blue Line Trucking.

She also voted to pass the state’s inflated budget in spite of the recession. Worse, she voted in favor of a 2009 measure, SB328, which granted onerous and predatory power to the attorney general to levy ruinous fines upon Oregon businesses for noninjurious and often reasonable acts related to consumers.

If facts matter, Stiegler participated in enacting legislation damaging to private-sector business, demonstrating that she either has no fundamental understanding of private-sector economics or she simply doesn’t care. Either way, it would be unconscionable to reward that kind of record with another term.

Karen Thomson Bend

Stiegler will get to sleep in soon enough Oh, if only Rep. Stiegler’s alarm had not rung at 6:30 a.m. (as stated in her re-election ad) reminding her to drive to Salem … but alas, it appears this dear lady will soon be able to sleep in.

Wyden has dropped the ball on immigration The world political situation is delicate and volatile. Homeland Security is concentrating on air travel but ignoring the ground game. Our southern border is unnecessarily porous.

It is time to elect Jim Huffman and terminate U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden.

Wyden has not risen to the minimum standard of performance in supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States. Immigration, legal and illegal, requires tighter control. We don’t know who is here and why.

According to Numbers USA (www.numbersusa.com/content/ learn/issues/birthright-citizen-

ship/nations-granting-birthrightcitizenship.html), we are the last major nation to offer “birthright citizenship.” Canada stopped giving illegal aliens citizenship for their babies in 2009. Between 1983 and 2007, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, France, India and the United Kingdom also eliminated this practice. Where is Wyden on this issue? His indifference to the fundamental values of the Constitution combined with his abuse of the basic principles of good legislative practice have caused me to lose confidence in Wyden’s ability to represent me and Oregon.

Huffman has indicated in private conversations and the media that he will perform his constitutional duties in part by: 1. enforcing federal laws and supporting the several states regarding immigration and the borders; 2. development and funding of an electronic verification system to assist employers in assuring that employees are legal residents; and 3. a guest worker program that is efficient and economical.

Huffman supports the enumerated powers of Congress and the constitutional rights of American citizens. Huffman supports you.

Huffman deserves your vote.

Mike Folkestad Crooked River Ranch

Why won’t Wyden debate the issues?

We see some pretty stiff campaign advertisement from U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden and his supporters on television. The political campaign ads depict Wyden’s opponent, Jim Huffman, as a spendthrift conservative who is a supporter of Wall Street and a threat to Social Security.

What most of the voters throughout Oregon may not be aware of is the fact that Huffman has repeatedly challenged the sitting senator to take part in televised public debates since last May. Wyden has consistently refused to meet him one-on-one to discuss issues that have, and will, affect every citizen in our state.

Wyden voted in favor of the Obamacare legislation and numerous other legislative measures that could, or may in the future, jeopardize our nation’s economy and national security.

It may be true that Huffman may want to see a revision in Social Security and Medicare.

Those of us knowledgeable of this situation know that these government entities are near financial bankruptcy and if the younger workers in our nation do not start seeking ways to privatize their financial future for their retirement, they won’t have a financial future.

Come on, Wyden, quit hiding and come out and debate on the issues.

Fire department measures are win-win A couple of weeks ago, I was attending a convention in San Diego with 2000 other firefighters from around the United States and Canada. I heard many stories about the current economy and how it is affecting public safety with layoffs and reduction in services. It became apparent to me the importance of passing ballot measures 9-80 and 9-81, which are on the November ballot for Redmond residents.

With successful approval of Measure 9-80 the current levels of ambulance and fire service will be preserved and stable funding will be established while remaining tax-neutral.

This will allow the fire department to maintain current staffing levels, be more cost-effective and budget for future expenses such as purchasing better tools and equipment as technology advances. Approval will also eliminate duplication of administrative services, saving the fire department up to $200,000 in the first year alone.

Approval of 9-81 charter amendment will address the many concerns that were told to us when the firefighters asked the question, “What is your biggest concern with the fire district annexation?” The answer was that the City Council could raise taxes once the annexation was approved. Measure 9-81 would

address this concern, making the tax rate permanent and not able to be raised without voter approval.

I urge the citizens of Redmond to join me in supporting 9-80 and 9-81 and passing these two ballot measures with a yes vote. A winwin for all.

Kitzhaber is no friend to small businesses Gubernatorial candidate John Kitzhaber again contradicts himself with his own TV advertisement. The ad states that he, rather than his opponent, Chris Dudley, is better suited for office because he will concentrate on securing new jobs in the state. In the background, pictures of forest lands and wind turbines roll by on the tube. He states that his jobs will come from forest service work and wind electric power generation, jobs he is best-suited to secure.

Both of these job sectors are for the most part controlled and staffed by either the federal or state governments. Putting new jobs into those sectors, while needed in the long term, will involve substantial increases in government jobs supported by increased taxes or deficit spending, which is exactly what we do not want.

We need candidates who realize that deficit spending, the life blood of new government jobs, must be curtailed while the existing deficits are paid off. We need a governor who will help recruit new small-business investment.

He needs to focus his staff on plans that allow small businesses, the life blood of long-term Oregon jobs, to retain profits that support new hires. These only will stem from their investments, not more government spending and added taxation.

Stiegler looks out for unions, not voters The race for state Rep. Judy Stiegler’s seat in the Legislature is getting interesting. One guy wrote an “In My View” piece stating, “I voted for her without knowing what she stood for or how she’d do.” Then he went on to tell us how much he knew about business and why she’s good for our economy. I think a lot of that went around last election. Others, including Stiegler herself, have told us how her votes against the will of Deschutes County on Measures 66 and 67 didn’t affect business.

Unfortunately, her votes on those initiatives and others like HB 519 and HB 2867 are about protecting big union interests, not ours. In fact, both are patently unfair to business and make government more wasteful. Every business group grades her performance very poorly.

Telling people that those votes didn’t affect small business only works on the uninformed and those who vote only along party lines. The rest of us know that our economy is suffering, small business is suffering, nonunion workers are suffering and government is spending too much.

Time for a change!

Ed Barbeau Bend

Conger has better grasp of tax issues Elections are always important because we will be governed (literally) by the results for some time. Candidates vary greatly in their experience, constituents and qualifications, and it is up to the electorate to sort out all of the conflicting claims and accusations. It is not an easy task, and we don’t always do a very good job. But we must try.

This year is especially important because of the ongoing economic challenges facing Oregon and because apparently our representatives have moved us to a point of crisis in the state’s financial condition. That we are not alone in this is no solace.

Electing a representative from Central Oregon is frustrating because he or she goes to Salem outnumbered by the representatives from Portland and the Willamette Valley who seem to have quite different ideas about

the role of state government. It makes it all the more important to choose someone who is welleducated, well informed, tough and who has strong values about what they are there for.

I have met Judy Stiegler only once, at a meeting of a group of us who get together regularly to talk about issues facing us, locally to nationally. We asked her to explain her support for Measures 66 and 67 increasing taxes.

She spoke at length regarding her personal biography, her education, status as a lawyer and interest in family and children’s issues. She had some anecdotes of her legislative experience but no familiarity with the budgeting or tax function of the Legislature and gave me the impression she was not really interested in what to me was an absolutely critical role for a representative.

I have met Jason Conger once.

He was comfortable in his role as a candidate and we talked at some length about the Oregon system of reliance on an income tax and the need for reform of our tax system if the state is to progress.

I was impressed by his candor and intelligence in criticizing the current system. The tax system is only a part of government but it seems to play an important role in the decision of businesses as to where they locate and how aggressively they proceed to hire. I concluded that Conger would far more capably represent Central Oregon and so urge you to vote for him.

Vote for Dudley, Huffman, Whisnant I am a pretty private guy who has never made my voting decisions public. This year is different. For the sake of my community, Oregon, and the United States, I support candidates who have proven to me during the campaign that they have what it takes to do a far better job than those currently in office.

You all need to follow your conscience, but I hope you do like me and vote for Chris Dudley for Oregon governor and Jim Huffman for U.S. Senate.

For state Representative, I am voting for Rep. Gene Whisnant, District 53. If I lived in District 54, however, I would be voting for Jason Conger.

Whisnant stands up for our veterans State Rep. Gene Whisnant is a 27-year military veteran who works in Salem for our activeduty military and military veterans. He has experience at many levels of the military, including the office of the secretary of defense in the Pentagon.

Whisnant believes we must honor and respect military members and veterans and provide them the services and benefits they have earned. He has sponsored over 35 military bills and voted for numerous committee pro-military bills. He has spoken at numerous military events and attended many others.

Whisnant and his wife, Josie, are there for our military, attending memorial services for fallen heroes or helping prepare care packages for our deployed military members. I appreciate Whisnant’s work and dedication and ask all to vote to return him to Salem.

Robert D. Maxwell Bend

Wheeler has a proven track record I’m a lifelong Republican and plan to vote Ted Wheeler for state treasurer. He has proven ability to deal effectively with financial matters both as head of Multnomah County and in the private sector. That experience and his educational background make him a perfect fit for treasurer as opposed to his opponent’s experience filling out tax forms.

Wheeler has done a great job so far as treasurer. We are fortunate to finally have someone in charge of our money who is actually qualified for the job. Do yourself a favor and join me in voting Wheeler for treasurer.

IS THE MASTER OF ESPIONAGE TIRED OF THE GAME?

Spies get tangled up in latest thriller from Le Carré “Our Kind of Traitor”

by John le Carre (Viking, 307 pgs., $27.95)

By Chris Foran Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

If you’re exasperated with the fumblings of international diplomacy and spycraft, imagine how John le Carré feels.

Actually, you don’t have to.

The granddaddy of the modern spy novel — next year marks his 50th anniversary as a writer in the genre — has been making his feelings plain in recent years.

“The Constant Gardener” laid bare the deadly co-mingling of diplomacy and big commercial interests. “A Most Wanted Man” zeroed in on the clash among European and American spy agencies — and the people caught in the middle — in the wobbly war on terror.

Le Carré’s latest, “Our Kind of Traitor,” gets tangled in overlapping quagmires: the corruption oozing from Russia’s mobbedup economy, and the soup we’ve been in since the near-collapse of the banking system.

It’s hard to tell whether the disconcerting ambivalence that permeates the book is a narrative device or just a reflection of le Carré’s exasperation reaching a new level. Either way, it doesn’t always make for satisfying reading.

British author John le Carré holds a copy of his new book, “Our Kind of Traitor,” at a London bookstore during a book signing event to mark the launch of the novel on Sept. 16. In this book, as in much of his recent work, there’s a pervasive sense of exasperation with the spy game — or at least with spies.

Surprisingly, tale isn’t depressing “Trash”

by Andy Mulligan (David Fickling/Random House, 240 pgs., $19.99)

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

Popular young adult fiction is dominated by fantasy and tales that trade in the tropes of high school hierarchy and unrequited love. So it’s refreshing when a book takes us into the Third World and the experiences of its unprivileged, as is the case with “Trash,” a gem of a young adult debut from author Andy Mulligan.

“Trash” is a fast-paced romp of a murder mystery that takes readers knee-deep into the muck of an impoverished life spent amid “dumpsite boys,” where money is hard-earned through the search for plastic bottles and tin cans, and clothes aren’t purchased but found.

The country in which this unfolds is not stated. But the scenarios in which 14-year-old orphans Gardo and Raphael find themselves, along with Jun-Jun, their 10-year-old compatriot, indicate the location is Catholic and could be in South or Central America, or Manila in the Philippines, where the author lives.

The boys occasionally attend their religious mission-run school, but most see classroom learning as less valuable than picking through trash in the hopes of finding items that might be worth something, like a wallet filled with money, as Raphael does.

“Trash” is written in short chapters divided into five parts, which creates a “Rashomon”-like quality since they are told in the voices of characters who were involved in unearthing the meaning of the wallet. An imaginative and detailed plot and an intriguing storytelling technique make “Trash” as special as the wallet around which its story revolves.

The Associated Press

ing his religious wife; his gorgeous, book-obsessed daughter; and four younger kids.

Dima soon lays his cards on the table: He’s a money-launderer with a powerful Russian mafia outfit who, sure his colleagues plan to bump him off, wants the couple’s help in defecting with his family to England.

In return, Dima pledges to provide inside dope on the mob’s operations, including links to terrorists, roles in international

finance and the involvement of influential Brits.

The couple agree to help.

Enter the spies, who fight internal power struggles and their own personal demons as they work to pull the operation off.

As he has since his masterwork “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold” was published 47 years ago, le Carré shows that he knows his way through the shadowy corridors of spydom.

But in “Our Kind of Traitor,”

his 22nd spy novel, le Carré is at his best when coming at the story from the civilians’ point of view.

Perry, an academic about to quit academia, becomes part of the spy-making machinery quicker than you can say “oldschool tie.”

And Gail, a London barrister on the rise, finds herself with an unexpected desire to act as a surrogate mother to the family’s distracted young ones.

Unfortunately, as events tumble toward resolution, the narrative nudges the civilians aside in favor of the professionals.

The professionals have troubles of their own.

Hector, the spies’ point man, has a tendency to burn his bridges, and spends much of his time in gamesmanship with superiors and rival agencies.

Luke, the man in the field, is trying to work his way back into the good graces of both his bosses and his wife after a mission in Colombia went awry and exposed his infidelity.

Le Carré fills his tale with feints and regroupings, like a man convinced the flaws in the system make success all but impossible. But, unlike his previous novel, “A Most Wanted Man,” “Our Kind of Traitor” is tinged more with resignation than rage. You get the impression that, considering how often the pros put their foot in it, le Carré thinks the amateurs could do better.

Or at least, it would be easier to root for them as they try.

What did the world look like to George Washington?

“George Washington’s America: A Biography Through His Maps”

by Barnet Schecter (Walker & Co., 304 pgs., $67.50)

By Nick Owchar Los Angeles Times

The most important items in George Washington’s library at Mount Vernon were maps. After his death in 1799, an inventory revealed that the library “contained more than ninety maps and atlases,” writes historian Barnet Schecter in his fascinating, novel approach to the life of the first U.S. president, “George Washington’s America: A Biography Through His Maps”.

Understanding North American geography in every detail — roads, rivers, woods and mountain ranges — was vitally important to Washington because, the author argues, it “shaped his vision of America as ‘a rising empire in the New World.’”

Schecter’s book reveals the world that Washington saw, either through the maps of others (John Rocque’s 1762 general map of North America) or through his own: A map that Washington made of his perilous 1753 river journey to help with Colonial defenses against hostile French forces on the Ohio River is a reminder of his great skill as a surveyor.

This is a lovely volume, perfect not only for someone interested in Washington but also for the history buff looking for a fresh glimpse of early American life.

Teachers

Recruiting the best and the brightest Three of the most effective school systems in the world draft their top students to become teachers. Here’s how they do it:

Continued from F1 “You have in the schools right now, among the teachers who are going to be retiring, very smart people,” she said in an interview.

“We’re not getting in now the same kinds of people. It’s disastrous. We’ve been saying for years now that we’re attracting from the bottom third.”

Feldman was right to point out that we are entering a period of enormous turnover in our classrooms: With about half of America’s 3.5 million teachers eligible to retire in the next decade, the question of who should teach looms especially large.

So why do top U.S. college students have so little interest in teaching careers compared with their counterparts in the world’s best-performing nations?

LEFT: Teachers attend a job fair in New York last summer. The U.S. is entering a period of enormous turnover in its classrooms: About half of its 3.5 million teachers are eligible to retire in the next decade.

Learning from other countries Partly, it’s because we are stuck in a time warp. Up through the mid-1970s, the academic quality of the teacher corps in the United States was effectively subsidized by discrimination: Talented women and members of minorities became teachers at high rates in large part because they didn’t have many opportunities outside the classroom.

When that changed, teaching lost its longtime labor supply and suddenly had to compete with more lucrative professions, even as educators’ salaries were falling behind. In New York City in 1970, for example, a starting lawyer at a prestigious firm earned about $2,000 per year more than a starting public school teacher.

Today, that starting New York lawyer makes $160,000, including salary and bonus, while a new teacher across town earns $45,000. Nationally, teachers’ starting salaries average $39,000 today, rising to an average career maximum of $67,000.

But it’s not just pay that’s a problem. A teaching career does not offer our nation’s top college graduates a compelling peer group, opportunities for continued learning or the prestige of other professions. Moreover, our most needy schools mostly fail to offer the working conditions or the leadership needed to retain top talent once it has been recruited.

Our approach to teacher recruitment and development doesn’t hold a candle to the methods used in Singapore, Finland and South Korea, where attracting high-quality people to the profession is considered a national priority. The good news, based on research that we and our colleagues at McKinsey & Co. recently completed, is that the United States could dramatically increase the number of top students who choose teaching by adopting some of these countries’ practices.

How do they do it? For starters, these countries make teacher training programs highly se-

lective, accepting no more than one out of every seven or eight applicants. Their governments also limit the number of training positions to match the expected demand for educators, so that those admitted are assured jobs. American teachers, by contrast, mostly enter the profession through programs that are not selective at all. As a result, more than half of newly certified teachers in the United States — about 100,000 each year — do not take jobs in the classroom.

Next, Singapore and Finland fully fund teacher education and pay students salaries or stipends.

In the United States, meanwhile, students must often go into debt to attend education schools. In addition, the quality of teacher training in top-performing nations is first-rate. Companies such as Nokia, for example, covet teachers who leave the classroom in Finland, because graduates of teacher training there are known to be exceptional talents.

These countries also foster a professional working environment. Finland, for example, grants teachers the kind of autonomy typically enjoyed by doctors in this country: They have wide latitude over how they teach, they share responsibility for their schools’ operating budgets, and they belong to a culture that emphasizes the need to continually update one’s skills.

In the United States, by contrast, teaching is often seen as an “unprofessional” career track, even by teachers. For example, we found that only 3 percent of the U.S. teachers we surveyed who were in the top third of their college class think that people who do well in teaching can advance professionally.

Crucially, these other countries provide competitive compensation. Of the three, South Korea puts the greatest emphasis on salary, with starting pay equivalent to about $55,000 and top salaries reaching $155,000.

According to Linda Darling-

A new chapter for the Booker prize

Hammond of Stanford University, these earnings place South Korea’s teachers somewhere between its engineers and its doctors. Singapore, in addition to competitive pay, offers retention bonuses of $10,000 to $36,000 every three to five years.

To top it all off, these nations accord enormous cultural respect to teaching and teachers.

Leaders in the United States routinely offer rhetorical tributes to teaching, but the profession here enjoys nothing like the exalted status it holds in these three countries.

A total makeover What will it take to emulate Finland, South Korea and Singapore? In part, it will require a total makeover of the teaching profession’s image. Our national survey of 900 top-third college students (as calculated based on self-reported SAT and ACT scores and grade point averages) showed that such students simply aren’t interested in teaching.

The good news, though, is that the kind of makeover needed to win them over won’t break the bank.

For example, we calculate that the United States could more than double the portion of top-third new hires in the worst-performing 5 percent of schools (serving about 2.5 million students nationwide) from

14 percent to 34 percent, without raising teacher salaries. Under this scenario, which would cost about $1 billion a year, the government would pay for teacher training; schools would offer enhanced leadership and professional development; shabby, unsafe working conditions would be improved; high-performing teachers would be paid a bonus of 20 percent; and a national marketing campaign would promote teaching careers.

More ambitious efforts to close the talent gap would require higher salaries, which are the most powerful lever for attracting and retaining top graduates.

For example, we found that in one scenario involving high-poverty schools serving about 8 million children nationally, increasing starting teacher salaries to $65,000 and maximum salaries to $150,000 would increase the percentage of new teachers drawn from the top third of their class from 14 percent to 68 percent.

This approach would cost something like $30 billion a year at current student/teacher ratios, or about 5 percent of national KSelf Referrals Welcome

12 spending.

The cost of action is relatively low, in other words, particularly compared with the cost of inaction, which is staggeringly high.

Separate research by McKinsey last year on the economic costs of the achievement gap between the United States and other countries suggests that the stakes are huge: If the United States had closed this gap between 1983 and 1998, raising its academic performance to the level of nations such as Finland and South Korea, U.S. GDP in 2008 would have been roughly $1.3 trillion higher than it was. The ongoing cost of that difference is the equivalent of a permanent national recession much larger than the one from which we are now emerging.

So, if recruiting and retaining teachers drawn from the top third could help close the achievement gap, even at a cost of $30 billion a year, the social and economic returns could be enormous.

grounds produce higher student achievement, but this conclusion is starkly at odds with the experiences of Singapore, Finland and South Korea. Our McKinsey colleagues have studied more than 50 school systems around the world and have never seen a nation achieve or sustain worldclass educational performance without drawing its teachers from the top third of their class.

Should we really bet our children’s future on the possibility that our country might be the exception?

Howard Jacobson won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction last week with “The Finkler Question,” a dark comedy about a man convinced that tragic love is his destiny. It is the first overtly comic novel to win the prize in its 42year history.

Accepting the honor, Jacobson said it strengthened his belief that entertainment and good literature are not incompatible: “The better the writing, the more fun there is in reading it.”

The judges praised Jacobson, 68, for the book’s impressive range of tone, humor and melancholy.

“It knows something that Shakespeare knows in the great comedies — that the relationship between what’s tragedy and what’s funny is intimately linked,” said the chairman of the judging panel, former British poet laureate Andrew Motion.

Jacobson has called himself a Jewish Jane Austen. He overcame competition from the bookies’ favorite, Tom McCarthy’s “C,” as well as two-time winner Peter Carey and three other finalists to claim Britain’s most prestigious literary award, worth $78,900.

“The Finkler Question” (Bloomsbury) revolves around Julian Treslove, a man mugged by a woman while walking back to his London apartment one night.

As she slams his face into the window of a violin store, Julian thinks he hears her call him “you Jew.”

Howard Jacobson won the Man Booker Prize for Fiction with “The Finkler Question,” the first comic novel to win the award.

This is the calamitous moment he has been waiting for, and it brings the bonus of a religious slur. Though Julian is as goyish as can be, he decides to convert to Judaism. Jewish suffering will bring purpose to his life — or so he thinks in this mordant exploration of anti-Semitism.

“It’s either a very funny book with very sad bits in it — or a very sad book with very funny bits in it,” Motion said.

Jacobson said though he’s elated that the prize will finally enable him to shake off his reputation as “the underrated Howard Jacobson,” it does present one problem: His novel-in-progress is about a writer enjoying no success whatsoever.

“I’m a bit stuck now,” he said.

BEND’S ORGANIC MARKET

JOHN STEARNS

“We sell organic apples and potatoes and other things grown in the Northwest in the fall, but most of our fall and winter produce comes from California or Mexico.”

— Bob DeVore, owner of Bend’s DeVore’s Market

Foreclosure moratorium not answer

t’s appalling, but not surprising, to learn about the sloppy, maybe even fraudulent handling of foreclosures by some lenders so overwhelmed by the default avalanche that they didn’t properly verify what they were signing before booting people out of their homes.

The thought of potentially mistaken foreclosures is disturbing.

The seriousness of this issue was underscored last week when all 50 states’ attorneys general announced a multistate investigation into mortgage servicers’ foreclosure processes.

While some politicians have called for a nationwide moratorium on foreclosures pending further investigation, that seems likely to cause further damage to housing markets like ours. In turn, that could harm the nation’s fragile economy. Properties headed for foreclosure need to keep moving through the pipeline. The sooner they can get new owners, the quicker housing can recover.

Not by flawed means, however. Lenders must ensure, as they should have from the start, foreclosures are done by the book.

But that shouldn’t require a blanket moratorium. While some lenders, including Bank of America, have stopped foreclosure sales pending a review of their processes, not all lenders should be forced to follow suit.

A moratorium would temporarily reduce the number of distressed property sales, but that “would be kind of like a false reduction,” said Dave Woodland, senior vice president at Signet Mortgage in Bend. It would increase the shadow inventory of distressed homes yet to be repossessed and marketed and increase the number of homes that would presumably hit the market all at once later, he said. “I don’t think a delay is in our best interests.”

Nor does Gerard Mildner, associate professor of real estate finance at Portland State University.

A moratorium “would penalize banks who have done their due diligence and have properly inspected their loan documents as opposed to the ones that haven’t,” Mildner said.

Lenders who improperly processed documents should be punished. But as an Associated Press story said last week, “Analysts don’t expect many people who lost homes to foreclosure to recover them.” Instead, AGs could consider requiring banks to step up their loan modification processes to help more people avoid foreclosure, AP said.

To date, many struggling homeowners have found the loan modification process a joke. It’s interesting that some lenders rushed to get people in homes without proper financial scrutiny, then didn’t help homeowners modify loans they couldn’t afford are now being investigated on the back end for their foreclosures. It’s hard to feel sorry for them.

It’s unclear if the problems uncovered in states where foreclosures are handled judicially are prevalent in Oregon. But “if lenders are doing it in the judicial context, that causes a great deal of concern that would also be going on in the processes used in Oregon,” said Tony Green, Oregon AG’s Office spokesman.

As the office explained in a news release last week: Oregon is not a judicial foreclosure state, which means a court does not approve a lender’s decision to foreclose. Consequently, the affidavits that have come under fire in other states as being false are not used here. However, in 2009 the Legislature passed a bill requiring lenders to tell homeowners they have certain basic rights, including a right to request a loan modification and a right to meet with their lender before foreclosure can be initiated. It also requires the lender to file an affidavit in support of the foreclosure. This year, the Legislature strengthened those protections by requiring the affidavit be filed at least five days in advance and that the lender provide an explanation if the loan modification doesn’t qualify, among other things.

Green expects the AG’s Office to get more foreclosure complaints as people have “aha” moments hearing about this mess. He encourages those complaints to the AG’s hot line at 877-877-9392 or website, www.doj.state.or.us.

Lenders that erred should pay for their mistakes, but a blanket moratorium that jeopardizes the entire housing market doesn’t seem to be a wise response.

Bob DeVore has been selling organically grown produce at DeVore’s Market on Bend’s Newport Avenue for 33 years. He has been seeing a increasing competition from supermarkets.

Organic field grows

crowded More demand, competition put pressure on area growers, supermarkets to keep up

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

ob and Mary DeVore didn’t arrive in Bend in a covered wagon, but they have earned a reputation as pioneers in the organic grocery business since they opened DeVore’s Market in Bend 33 years ago.

In those days, demand for organic produce was limited, there were no regulations, inspections or certification programs and only a handful of growers, mostly in California, were raising organic crops, said Bob DeVore.

B

Today, supermarkets stock more organic produce, but production of organic crops hasn’t caught up with the growing demand, making it tough for the original organic markets like DeVore’s to compete for organic products and customers. But researchers at places like Oregon State University are studying ways to help farmers close that supply-and-demand gap through more efficient growing and fertilization methods.

“My reason for getting into organic is because I am basically an environmentalist,” DeVore said.

DeVore said the supply and demand of organic foods remained sparse until 1989, when a national scare about trace residues of the chemical Alar in apples and apple baby food products sparked a surge in organic demand, initially among mothers who didn’t want their children exposed to apples and other agricultural chemicals.

“Demand for organic produce really took off after the Alar scare, and it’s been growing ever since,” DeVore said from his small store on Newport Avenue.

DENVER — Americans last year wasted more than 2.75 billion hours waiting for some type of in-home service or appointment — a utility hookup or the delivery of furniture among them — the equivalent of 1.3 million people out of work for a year, according to a new survey of consumer attitudes.

For one of the most hated activities — waiting for someone to come by the house — the people surveyed spent an average five hours waiting for an appointment to arrive.

Preclearing customs, a prized advantage

Traveling auctioneers leave trail of frustrated buyers, regulators

By Darren Barbee McClatchy-Tribune News Service

FORT WORTH, Texas — Rodney Martin was walking a tightrope between panic and anger.

Martin, who co-owns a popular Fort Worth club, had attended a spring auction at an Arlington, Texas, hotel after seeing a bright red advertisement. “SEIZED & FORFEITED ASSETS,” it read. “Jewelry & Fine Art SEIZED by police & federal agencies.”

At the auction he spotted a Picasso lithograph and decided to bid after an auctioneer advised him of its potential worth.

The $4,900 Martin paid, counting taxes and the auctioneer’s fee, seemed like a steal.

Yet on the way home, Martin began to feel uneasy. He later looked up the painting’s authenticator on the Internet and said he saw reports linking him to a scam.

Martin now believes he was a pigeon. “These guys are really good,” he said.

He was caught up in the razzle-dazzle of a network of expert auctioneers roving the nation. Abraham Avi Asher or his cousins, Gavin and Dion Abadi, roll into towns with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of paintings by master artists, flawless gemstones, Rolex watches and silk rugs.

By the time they pack up, they leave state regulators and some customers fuming.

There are significant benefits to the United States Customs and Border Protection preclearance program, which allows passengers bound for the U.S. to clear customs at one of about 15 airports mostly in Canada and Ireland. The biggest benefit is that a passenger can pass through customs quickly and arrive in the United States without having to stand in one of those long, dreary lines at, say, Kennedy International Airport.

But there is one drawback, which I learned months ago at Shannon Airport as I was connecting on a flight to the United States.

Auctioneer Avi Asher holds a string of pearls for a buyer to inspect at an art and jewelry auction in 2009, at the Tustin Racquet Club in Santa Ana, Calif. The auction advertised nine items from Bernard “Bernie” Madoff.

One benefit to the United States Customs and Border Protection preclearance program is the waiting time may be minimal, but the scrutiny is not.

Almonds are dumped by a shuttle cart into the conveyor belt that loads the nuts into trailers for transport during harvest at a California almond orchard in September. Farmer Mike Young says he has switched to nut crops because he is able to do more work with machines, reducing the need for labor.

In recession, workers lose out to machines From farms to travel agencies, employers seek ways to avoid hiring

By A lana Sem uels Los Angeles Times

BUTTONWILLOW, Calif.

— The ground trembles on Mike Young’s almond farm as the forklift-sized yellow machine grabs a tree trunk and shakes it hard. Nuts rain like hailstones to the ground, where they’ll lie until another machine comes to sort them.

Young once grew tomatoes, cucumbers and cotton. But in recent years, he’s shifted almost exclusively to nuts as worldwide demand has made the crop more profitable.

There’s another reason for abandoning row crops: Employees are a headache. Automation means Young no longer needs large crews of farmworkers to plant or harvest — and no more worrying about status, pay or benefits.

“Labor is so expensive,” said Young, whose great-grandfather started farming row crops in Kern County in 1910. “There’s their wages, truck, insurance, workers’ comp and the safety regulations.

We went to a high-value crop that needed less labor input.”

Young estimates that at seasonal peaks, he now employs 70 percent fewer workers.

That sentiment isn’t unique to farming. Forced to cut costs during the recession, employers across the country are looking at ways to avoid hiring. They’ve accelerated use of computers and technology, replacing administrative assistants with software, cashiers with self-service kiosks and laborers with machines.

Not coming back These structural changes mean some jobs that disappeared during the recession may never come back. Productivity gains are good for company profits and help the economy grow over the long run.

But in the short term, the shift is exacerbating America’s jobless recovery.

“Recessions tend to act as ratchets; they’ll often speed the pace of fundamental changes that were going on in the economy anyway,” said Erica Groshen, vice president and director of regional affairs at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Ditching workers is an appealing prospect to many farmers.

The heightened focus on workers’ immigration status has increased farmers’ administrative burden.

With the help of machines, though, growers can continue to boost output while reducing head count.

Few states have minimum wages higher than California’s $8 an hour. Farm labor in California has fallen 11 percent over the past decade, yet cultivation of heavily automated crops soared over the same period: Almond production has more than doubled, to 1.6 billion pounds.

“If cheap technology is available, you substitute technology for people,” said Allen Sinai, chief global economist at Decision Economics in Boston.

Automation has been a steady progression since the Industrial Revolution. Still, laying off workers is never easy. Recessions give

companies a motive to move more swiftly than they otherwise might have to cut staff, outsource work to cheaper locations and implement labor-saving technology, Sinai said. When sales pick up, companies can help profits rise quickly by keeping a lid on hiring.

That’s part of the reason that earnings at some large companies have soared over the last year while job creation has lagged behind. In August, U.S. private sector employers added 67,000 jobs, far fewer than the 100,000 needed to keep pace with population growth.

Capital intensity — how much a firm relies on software, tools and machinery — contributed 1.6 percent to productivity gains from 2007 to 2008 after growing just 1 percent from 2000 to 2007, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Motivated by tough times Crisis is a catalyst for change.

With their business hammered by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, airlines cut labor costs by switching to computer kiosks to check in customers, said Greg Buzek, president of retail technology consulting firm IHL Group.

Other industries, such as restaurants and retail stores are speeding adoption of these machines. About $300 billion worth of transactions moved through such kiosks in 2006. That figure is expected to be $455 billion this year and $700 billion by 2014, Buzek said.

EMN8, a San Diego company that provides self-service kiosks to restaurants including Jack in the Box, has seen a “dramatic increase” in interest from fast-food vendors in the past eight months, said Brent Christensen, vice president of sales at EMN8. The company leases the machines to restaurants, saving them big upfront costs.

EMN8’s machines look like colorful ATMs. Customers walk up to one, touch the screen, scroll through pictures of food, order and then swipe a card to pay. The company boasts that the machines can save restaurants 60 percent in labor costs.

“It is being driven by the opportunity to increase ... sales without adding labor or food costs,” Christensen said.

Jack in the Box and other chains say their motive is to improve service, not reduce staff.

But data indicate that the recession accelerated the decline of jobs that are easily automated. Nationwide, employment in office and administrative support declined 8 percent from 2007 to 2009, after growing only 1 percent from 1999 to 2007, according to a report for the Center for American Progress

by David Autor of MIT’s department of economics.

The decline is easily explained.

Smart phones enable executives to handle communication when they are out of the office. The Internet has made it easy for employees to book their own appointments and travel.

In August, just over 20,000 peo-

ple in California were employed by travel agencies and reservation services; that’s about half what it was a decade ago.

Janice Seaver worked as a reservations agent for a Laguna Hills, Calif., time-share company for three years. But the 51-yearold said she can no longer find customer-service work because so much of it has been automated.

“They do it on their end because it looks good on paper, they’re not losing money,” she said. “But you lose all human contact.”

Economists said savings reaped from replacing employees with machines can be channeled elsewhere, leading to job creation in other sectors.

“In the short term, automation can create employment problems,” said John Schmitt, a senior economist with the Center for Economic and Research. “But it’s not going to be a problem in the medium or long term.”

Although the overall labor market may eventually bounce back, cities and regions that depended on jobs that are vanishing may not fare as well. Detroit, for example, is still grappling with the decline of its manufacturing base. Buttonwillow, the home to Young’s almond orchards, has watched its fortunes decline in the last 25 years.

Already, farm labor camps sit empty and decrepit. Boarded-up stores dot the streets of the oncebustling town, which once hosted 13 bars. Now there are none, said Rudy Ramay, who owns the Front Street Mini Mart. There are fewer laborers living in the town. Instead, they come through for a month or two and move on, since there are fewer seasons that they’re needed.

“This town used to be booming,” he said. “Now it’s dying.”

Auctioneers Continued from G1 Over the years in many states, the Abadis and Asher have become damaged goods, with a trail of fines, tax liens and outright bans on holding auctions, McClatchy Newspapers found.

Arrest warrants were also issued for the Abadis, according to records in other states.

But dissatisfied buyers and state agencies can have a hard time even determining who is responsible for the auctions.

What they represent Asher and the Abadi brothers are showmen — smooth, witty, pleasant. Family ties and their South African heritage bind the men, who have a knack for seducing buyers without squeezing them.

The auctioneer pouts for the house as you win a $42,000 blue star sapphire for just $3,400.

But somewhere along the line, such bargains have sometimes turned bogus. Sonja Straus won the jewel at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., auction conducted by Gavin Abadi for D&G Auctioneers. She said an independent jeweler discovered that the gem’s star was painted on. D&G, incidentally, wasn’t licensed to conduct auctions in Florida, according to an administrative complaint.

Asher said he would be surprised to find that the gem’s star was fake.

“A painted stone, that’s out of control,” Asher said. “That does not happen with us.”

The Abadis have gone to court at least once claiming that someone had sold them counterfeit goods, winning a judgment of almost $400,000, according to West’s Jury Verdicts.

Asher says most customers are quite content.

His business philosophy is fairly simple: Buyers pay what they will pay.

Consider, he says, artwork

by H. Claude Pissarro. Asher

Organic Continued from G1 Even after that, however, DeVore said he had to carry some produce grown with chemical fertilizers and pesticides well into the 1990s, due in part to a lack of growers producing crops organically.

“When we first opened up, we had to source all of our organic produce out of California,” DeVore said.

That was before a group of farmers in the Eugene area founded the Organically Grown Co-op, now called the Organically Grown Co., where DeVore buys the bulk of the organically grown produce sold in his store during spring and summer.

“We sell organic apples and potatoes and other things grown in the Northwest in the fall, but most of our fall and winter produce comes from California or Mexico,” DeVore said.

Nowadays, his biggest challenge is meeting the growing demand for products that are both locally grown and organic.

“There still aren’t many largescale growers or suppliers of organic produce in the Northwest, other than the Organically Grown Company,” DeVore said.

New research could help farmers DeVore said he’d like to sell more local, organically grown produce.

He’s hopeful research funded by Oregon Tilth, which certifies organic growers and products, will help reduce the costs of organic production methods so more local farmers will grow crops without chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

Chris Schreiner, executive director with Oregon Tilth, said the higher cost of producing crops organically has been a drawback, but groups like his are beginning to fund research at Oregon State University to identify ways to improve the efficiency of organic production and treat some of the insect and disease problems that often take a big bite out of organic crops.

Schreiner said the focus of American crop production research at universities like OSU shifted from organic production methods to petrochemical production after World War II. Sixty-five years after the war ended, the knowledge and crop production technologies developed for petrochemical farming have advanced, leaving organic production essentially with outdated knowledge and technology.

“This research and work is helping to fill the knowledge and resource gap on organic management systems,” Schreiner said.

said he recently auctioned off a few of Pissarro’s works for up to $15,000. Asher said he’s seen such works priced at $38,000.

The seller could go higher, asking $80,000.

“There’s no law that says he can’t ask. ... He can say, ‘I want a million dollars.’ ... If somebody wants to pay for it, God bless them.”

Indeed, overcharging for a product — or paying too much — is not illegal.

But misrepresenting items is.

Regulators have penalized Asher and Abadi family members for offering wares that were not quite as advertised, as well as for conducting auctions without licenses.

The $20,000 that Martin claims Asher told him the lithograph was worth seemed more implausible as he mulled the purchase. He filed a complaint with the state.

Asher says he put no value on the lithograph and that Martin must have “freaked out” over the price. Besides, Asher says, Martin got his money refunded “straight away.” But that’s hardly how Martin describes what happened.

The Abadi brothers could not be reached for comment for this report.

Last year, Asher and the Abadis were in the national spotlight when they traveled the country claiming to auction items belonging to Bernard “Bernie” Madoff or his victims, to help recover losses from Madoff’s Ponzi scheme.

At least some of the items they sold might be described as Madoff-related — Dion Abadi bought them from a Texas company sanctioned by the U.S. Marshals Service to sell them, an investigator said.

But while proceeds from the authorized Texas auction went toward victim restitution, the “Madoff auctions” put on by Asher and the Abadis benefited no one but themselves.

Ohio found that the auctions were dishonest.

In an interview, Asher said the items “were from Madoff victims.

They were. They were not on ‘behalf’ of the Madoff victims.”

From that research, OSU developed an organic fertilizer and crop cover calculator tool. It helps farmers identify the optimum cover crop rotations to disrupt various disease and insect infestations, Schreiner said.

In recent years, the shortage of local and regional organic growers has become even more acute with the increasing popularity of organic foods, which DeVore said has spread from farmers markets, natural food co-ops and small grocery stores like his, to supermarket chains like Fred Meyer, Safeway, Whole Foods and many others.

According to a report from the Oregon Department of Agriculture, the United States had fewer than 1 million acres of certified organic farmland when Congress passed the Organic Foods Production Act in 1990. By the time the USDA adopted the National Organic Standards in 2002, the amount of certified organic farmland had doubled, and by 2008, certified organic farmland acreage hit 4.8 million, including 2.7 million acres of cropland and 2.1 million acres of rangeland and pasture.

The Organic Trade Association said sales of organic food and beverages represent less than 3 percent of the total U.S. market, with sales approaching $23 billion nationwide in 2008.

According to the USDA’s 2008 organic production survey, Oregon ranked fifth in the nation for the number of organic farms. The state had $155.6 million in total organic agriculture sales that year, ranking fourth in the nation.

Diversifying With his cost for organic produce running two or three times the cost of produce grown with petroleum-based fertilizer and pesticides, DeVore said he winds up losing money on some organic items because people are only willing to pay so much more for organically grown.

To offset those losses, DeVore said his wife, Mary, created some recipes for a variety of organic side dishes, desserts and entrees prepared in the commercial kitchen located in the back of their market.

The items prepared, packaged and labeled with the DeVore’s Good Food label include spinach and artichoke dip, spicy curried rise salad, tofu peanut pad Thai, kale slaw, French sweet ripe pepper soup, tomato corn chowder, eggplant Parmesan and three kinds of lasagna with spinach, fall harvest vegetables and sausage — all organic.

Even the peanut butter used to make Mary’s peanut butter mousse pie is made with organic

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, October 17, 2010 G3

This spring, Asher led auctions across Texas. They never identified the “federal and police agencies” that seized the goods being sold. Asher concedes that the agencies should have been named.

“We buy from the marshals, from all different sources,” he said.

M.C. Escher could not have devised a more creative labyrinth of businesses.

The Abadis or Asher have ties to at least a dozen art sellers and auction houses in Georgia alone.

While documents show seemingly independent companies, their officers run businesses with one another.

Consider the Texas auctions this May. In Southlake and Arlington, the company that set up in posh hotels was called USA Art Source. The company’s real name: Balfour Park of Georgia.

Ads listed the telephone number for an apparently unrelated company: East Coast Financial of Georgia.

Next stop, Odessa, where East Coast Financial was now in business, with Asher still presiding.

Auction ads in Odessa’s newspaper were nearly identical to ones in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and resemble auction ads going back to 2001.

Dissecting East Coast Financial’s anatomy is confusing.

Georgia and Florida corporation documents list Gavin Abadi’s Atlanta address, yet his business associate Adam Levinsohn is listed as the company’s CEO, chief financial officer and secretary.

Family ties are deep. The Abadis and their father, Ezra Aviad Abadi, ran an auction company in the 1990s, and Ezra Abadi has conducted auctions for Asher.

In 2007, one of Ezra Abadi’s auctions unloaded two pieces of diamond jewelry for $38,730.

An appraisal on the pieces came back at $6,480, according to Florida records. In 2009, Florida authorities found that he conducted the auction without a license.

Later, Asher lost his Florida license after he got caught allowing his uncle to auction for him.

Family ties aside, Asher says he maintains objectivity about the businesses because he is independent.

“I don’t own or affiliate myself with any of these companies right now,” he said.

The paperwork differs. Documents filed with the Georgia secretary of state four days before the Arlington auction listed Asher as chief financial officer of USA Art Source/Balfour Park.

Company President William Peter Allen could not be reached for comment. Allen is tied to at least one of Gavin Abadi’s business ventures in Atlanta.

Asher’s own auction company, DRJ Auction Services, also plowed through Texas this year.

Sapphires, signed Chagall artwork and silk rugs tantalize buyers. Sure, some customers may complain here and there.

But Asher says the Abadis have tens of thousands of happy customers.

In May, Dick Callahan of California was one of them. He was happy with a silk rug he bought from Asher at a January “Madoff auction.” He paid about $2,500.

Asher told him the rug was worth at least $3,000, he said.

Weeks later, while getting a stain out of the rug, Callahan said he discovered that he had been taken to the cleaners. A rug dealer and a friend who cleans rugs told him the rug was of poor quality. It was worth perhaps $400.

“I’m fairly comfortable that I got hosed on this deal,” he said.

Asher said he doesn’t give values at auctions.

“There are dealers who will destroy anyone’s sale if a customer takes a rug in to be appraised,” he added.

Some states have clamped down on Asher and the Abadis.

But states often don’t share disciplinary information.

The National Auctioneers License Law Officials Association, a coalition of 21 states’ auctioneer licensing boards, knew of just one complaint each against the Abadi brothers and Asher since 2006.

McClatchy Newspapers uncovered multiple disciplinary actions and fines.

Asher’s most recent Texas swing, including stops from Southlake to Austin, resulted in three complaints now under investigation by the licensing department. The state has also pursued USA Art Source, DRJ Auction Services and East Coast Financial for failure to file sales tax reports. They’ve accumulated tax liens from Texas to New Jersey.

Florida stripped Asher of his license in 2009; Illinois indefinitely suspended Dion Abadi’s in 2007; Alabama put Dion Abadi on a do-not-license list last year.

Georgia investigated Gavin Abadi in 1998, 2002, 2005 and 2007 and Dion Abadi in 2003, 2004, 2009 and this year.

Ohio didn’t mince words in denying a license to East Coast after Asher conducted an unlicensed auction. Authorities wrote Levinsohn that “you were dishonest, untruthful and improper in your business dealings.” The mail went to the Atlanta house owned by Gavin Abadi.

Asher was called out for being “improper and incompetent.”

North Carolina put some hurt behind its words. It issued arrest warrants for Ezra Abadi and Gavin Abadi. Dion was nabbed by police in 2006 for running an auction without a license. He was found guilty of a misdemeanor, sentenced to 12 months of unsupervised probation and ordered to pay $500 restitution.

Asher said that the companies are not fly-by-nights and that they make good.

When Martin, unhappy about the lithograph, threatened to show up at the next auction in Odessa, he got a call back from an Abadi in-law, jeweler Gary Zelton Getz. As Martin pulled into an airport parking lot ready to board a plane to Odessa, Getz promised to refund his money and pick up the painting.

Asher said the piece was sold a week later to another customer “who is very happy.”

peanut butter, and the apple pies and apple torts are made with a variety of organic apples, DeVore said.

“Our primary income comes from our kitchen, which accounts for 35 to 45 percent of our income, and our produce sales are 30 to 35

percent,” DeVore said.

In addition to the Organically Grown Co., DeVore said his other major produce suppliers include Cal-Organic, which produces organically grown crops on 5,000 acres in California and Mexico.

“A lot of the organic produce

comes from Mexico this time of year, but it is mostly California producers who bought or rented land in Mexico and moved part of their operations down there,” DeVore said.

“I’d like to buy more local produce, but there’s not that much

available. There’s a few people growing organic produce around here, but it’s mostly sold at farmers markets,” he said.

Businesses become stars with ‘my stories’

By Jessica Bruder

Jon Polin, left, and Richard Demb, the founders of the website Abe’s Market, a website that sells natural, organic goods, in Buffalo Grove, Ill. Abe’s Market sells its products by telling the story of its vendors and making a more personal connection with consumers.

New York Times News Service

Once upon a time in Chicago, there lived a man named Abe. He owned a neighborhood pharmacy, Polin Drugs, and worked behind the counter. His father and two sons lent a hand. When people could not afford doctors during the Great Depression, they scraped by on Abe’s free advice. He kept the doors open until midnight. He knew his customers by name.

Two generations later, Abe — or at least this sepia-toned snapshot of him — is the figurehead of an online venture in a world he would not recognize, invoked by a grandson he did not live long enough to meet.

That venture is Abe’s Market, an e-commerce hub that opened in October 2009 and sells natural, organic and eco-friendly products from more than 180 small businesses around the country. The website’s founders — Jon Polin, 40, and Richard Demb, 33, Chicago entrepreneurs and longtime friends — say they believe they can offer customers something that eBay and Amazon cannot.

Their secret weapon? Stories about decent, hardworking people — people like Abe, Polin’s grandfather.

Abe is a throwback to a world before globalization, to a time when economies were local and transactions were slow, face-toface and personal. Today, much of commerce feels anonymous.

The retail landscape is crowded with big-box stores. Online sales surpassed $155 billion last year and are continuing to grow, according to Forrester Research.

But there are pockets of resistance. The number of farmers’ markets, for example, has more than doubled over the last decade, according to a recent U.S. Agriculture Department report. There are 6,132 registered markets around the country, up 16 percent in the last year. And the consumers who shop at those markets are the sort of people Abe’s Market hopes to attract online.

“People want to buy from other people,” Demb said. “There are very few opportunities to meet

Waiting Continued from G1 “It’s a tough problem to solve, yet it’s so easy since it’s all about time and respecting it,” said Yuval Brisker, CEO of TOA in Cleveland, a firm that helps companies improve their work force efficiency.

“The actual problem is that people don’t want to give up their valuable life time waiting for the cable guy, the furniture delivery or the utility guy,” Brisker said.

Some businesses are stepping up by offering to pay for a customer’s wasted time whenever they miss a scheduled appointment.

Governments are even including consumer rebates as penalties for missed appointments in contracts that involve customer service.

The survey, done in mid-August, focuses on “waiting without knowing,” designed to shed light on the economic impact of waiting for in-home appointments.

The most waited-for service: cable and satellite television, followed by Internet providers and appliance and computer repairmen.

Most of those surveyed — 62 percent — said they believe they’re left to wait because companies don’t care about their time. Nearly as many said it’s because companies “know people will wait” and take advantage of that.

the people who make your products. We look at Abe’s Market as a limitless farmers’ market.”

The website offers plenty of getting-to-know-you yarns, starting with the tale of Abe. There are also introductions to Polin, whose “first job was vending peanuts and Frosty Malts at Cubs and White Sox games,” and to Demb, who spent childhood summers on sales calls with his grandfather Morton Einbinder, a wholesale grocer. Today, Polin is a veteran brand manager whose credits include marketing campaigns for Clorox and Capital One. Demb is a former investment banker and co-founder of Dale and Thomas Popcorn.

Abe’s merchants build individual profile pages, called seller stories, to introduce themselves.

For example, Michael Cochrane, the co-founder of Yumnuts in Norwalk, Conn., is a secondgeneration nut man. He was inspired to create a line of naturally flavored cashews by working with his father, an international nut broker. Erin Krug, a former science teacher in Hanover, Pa., started Krug’s Eco-Logic after friends urged her to sell the creams she had concocted to treat her young children’s sensitive skin. And Karl Wald had a life-changing adventure in Sri

Frank Billingsley, who lives in the Denver suburb of Arvada, was one of the people who said he waited ... and waited ... and waited ... an entire day recently for a heating repairman who never showed up.

“It really ticked me off, promising to do something and not only standing me up, but not calling,” Billingsley said. He had to cancel personal plans throughout the day as the hours ticked by.

“It just didn’t matter after a while, even if he had called,” he said. “I was hot.”

More than 36 million Americans lost wages simply for waiting for an appointment — about $752 annually — and about half of those who stuck around the house said they had to cancel or reschedule personal plans because the appointment was late, the survey found.

Another third said they were forced to take a sick day or vacation day to accommodate a service call or delivery in the past year.

Those who lost the most in wages were people whose income is below $25,000 a year.

That’s because those with higher incomes are more likely to use paid time off to accommodate the appointment, the survey found.

In the end, consumers said they either fumed and walked away or simply refused to use the company again.

Lanka, which led him to create Mr. Ellie Pooh, a Brooklyn company that sells notebooks made with recycled elephant dung.

And the stories keep on coming. On Oct. 18, Abe’s Market plans to introduce Abe’s Live, a streaming online broadcast where sellers will tell their stories and demonstrate products in real time. This is all part of a phenomenon that branding experts call “my story” marketing: a style of reaching out to consumers that emphasizes the people behind the products.

So far, revenue at the eightemployee company is modest: Demb expects Abe’s Market to make $1.5 million in sales for its vendors in 2011. Since May, sales dollars have doubled every 30 to 45 days, he added.

One challenge for Polin and Demb will be to maintain enthusiasm for the online experience offered by Abe’s Market and its vendors — rather than just enhancing the reputations of individual sellers. Most of Abe’s vendors maintain their own Web stores, which means customers are not locked into buying through Abe’s Market. But Polin says he believes that consumers will choose to do their one-stop natural goods shopping at Abe’s.

“We’re often cheaper than

Businesses often overlook the financial impact of being late ,and consumers say punctuality is a critical factor in recommending a business to friends.

“Companies that ignore the reality of consumers’ time lost and the frustration that comes with waiting do so at their own risk,” Brisker said. “There’s been a long-standing business assumption that customer service improvements are a non-value expense, but the truth is actually the opposite.”

Punctual businesses will get the nod for additional work, three quarters of those surveyed said.

Late by just 15 minutes, however, and fewer than 10 percent would make the recommendation.

One business, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, prides itself on being on time — so much so that it will pay customers $5 for every minute they’re late. And clients can choose the appointment time frame they’d like — one, three or four hours — and pay commensurately.

“You’ll pay once in a while, but that’s a good thing and word gets around that you really mean it,” said Stephen Jusseaume, 59, owner of the Denver franchise just named best in the country.

How often has it happened?

Fewer than five times a month, he said.

Despite the sluggish economy, Jusseaume’s sales have grown

buying with our manufacturers directly,” he added, explaining that Abe’s Market offers shipping promotions and gets discounted package rates with UPS. He also says that Abe’s sellers agree to offer their products at the same price or cheaper than they appear elsewhere. Above all, Polin says that Abe’s role as a curator of healthy, eco-friendly goods will appeal to a growing segment of Americans.

Abe’s Market sellers sound happy to come along for the adventure. After all, Abe’s offers the kind of exposure that many tiny companies cannot afford individually. “Our manufacturers are great at manufacturing products,” Polin said. “We’re great at selling products. Let them do their thing; let us do our thing.”

by more than 20 percent, in part because of the franchise’s accountability.

“The best thing we do is walk up to the customer, shake their hand, admit we’re late and tell them we owe them money,” said Jusseaume, who opened the business in 2004. “They really like that we’re not trying to get away with something.”

Even government is paying closer attention.

In New York City, Time Warner’s lock on one of the nation’s most lucrative cable franchise deals was given a new look recently when a renewal contract required the company to credit customers whenever they’re late.

In Denver, Comcast has come up with its own customer guarantee — a more stringent self-imposed deal than what the city required of its renewal — and credits consumers $20 if they’re late.

“It’s our promise to be accountable for providing a consistently positive experience during every step in the relationships with our customers,” Comcast spokeswoman Cindy Parsons said.

Comcast won’t say how often it’s applied the credit, but Denver officials who monitor the franchise agreement said they’ve received just 10 complaints since October 2009 that Comcast missed their appointment — a $20 billing credit — or didn’t call to reschedule, a $5 credit.

Continued from G1 While the waiting time may be minimal, the scrutiny is not.

When I placed my suitcase on the table, the customs official at Shannon zeroed right in. “Mr. Sharkey,” she said with a penetrating look, “would you by any chance be carrying tobacco products — for example, Cuban cigars?”

I caved under the pressure like a cardboard suitcase.

“Three!” I blurted out. Sheepishly, I opened my bag to display the contraband, three clearly labeled Havanas that I had planned to smuggle home.

“And oh, look how cunningly you’ve concealed them right there on top of your bag,” the official said, a little sarcastically.

I was escorted to a big trash bin where, under supervision, I was required to physically shred the expensive cigars, though the agents on duty did agree that it was a shame that a prohibition against Cuban products mandated such waste.

Hours later, after landing at Kennedy, I walked off the plane and got into a taxi within minutes. On the other hand, I was bereft of my Havanas, which would have been a lot easier to bring in undetected in the crush at the customs stations at Kennedy.

Customs preclearance at some foreign airports is nothing new, of course. It dates back to the 1950s, when the United States and Canada agreed to allow a U.S. preclearance station at the airport in Toronto. The initiative’s expansion since then was intended “to reduce congestion at ports of entry and to facilitate travel between the preclearance location and U.S. airports,” said Anthony Bucci, a spokesman for the customs agency.

The program uses American customs officers, rotating them through the foreign assignments. And it is popular with those passengers who are able to use it, Bucci said, although there are no plans to expand it to other foreign airports.

For Porter Airlines, a fouryear-old low-fare Canadian carrier, that is not welcome

news. The carrier had hoped that a preclearance center would be opened in its new terminal at its base at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

Authorities in the United States told the airport and Porter this summer that there was not enough passenger demand there to justify adding the extra resources, especially since there is an existing preclearance center at the far busier Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Porter has been seeking the center to assist in its expansion plans, which rely heavily on business travel to and from the United States.

Brad Cicero, a Porter spokesman, said the airline hoped there would be sufficient United States-bound traffic at Toronto City to allow for a re-evaluation of the request “in the next 12 to 18 months.”

By contrast, British Airways was able to use the preclearance service to solve a potential problem last year when it decided to offer daily business-class flights between Kennedy Airport and London City Airport, which is close to London’s financial district.

London City, though bustling with domestic and European flights, does not have a runway long enough to accommodate the big jets used for overseas nonstop flights.

Instead, British Airways selected Airbus A318 jets, smaller aircraft that can make the eastbound trip nonstop to London from Kennedy, but cannot take off from London City with a full load of fuel. That means the westbound flight could not be nonstop, a potential drawback for the business-travel market the flights are meant to attract.

The flights from London City could have stopped at several airports west of Britain. But British Airways instead chose Shannon for the roughly 50-minute refueling “because they had the U.S. Customs and Immigration presence there,” said John Lampl, a British Airways spokesman. “The huge benefit is when you get back to Kennedy. You get there and out you go, just as if you’re on a domestic flight,” he said.

Chevrolet’s Cruze is nice, If your engine but European sister is nicer weakens, make

sure it can breathe

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

PARIS — We Americans are not seen as sensible people by global car companies, including those based in the United States.

That’s my conclusion after 12 hours of wandering around this year’s installment of the Paris Auto Show, Europe’s largest biennial display of automotive hardware and innovation.

I look R E V I E W at what is coming to America and what isn’t, and I am baffled.

Consider, for example, the matter of the Chevrolet Cruze, just introduced in America as a gasoline-fueled 2011 subcompact sedan.

It is in many ways the perfect urban automobile — small enough for efficient city parking, large enough to transport five adults, reasonably fuel-efficient at 26 miles per gallon in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, and clean enough to pass the most stringent air-quality standards of the European Union or the state of California.

So, what am I complaining about?

Chevrolet thinks we Americans are simple-minded dopes.

The proof sits on the floor of Hall Five here at GM’s global product display, where one can find a smart-looking five-door hatchback Cruze not on sale in the USA — and not intended to be sold stateside anytime soon.

Why? Wayne Brannon, chief executive director of Chevrolet’s European operations, smiled, winked and dodged.

“Hatchbacks have always been strong sellers in the European market,” he said. “Europeans find them practical, useful. . . .”

And Americans don’t?

Brannon, a man of Vincent van Gogh-like personage, winced.

“Hatchbacks haven’t done so well in the United States,” he said. “They haven’t been popular there.”

And there you have it. Because of marketing errors made by GM and other automobile manufacturers in the past, American consumers are forever labeled antihatchback. Had it ever occurred

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q: A:

GM via The Washington Post

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback showcar is displayed at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. In the United States, Chevrolet offers the Cruze as a sedan, but overseas you can get this smart-looking five-door hatchback.

2 0 1 1 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ sedan Ba se price: $21,975 As tested: $25,540, including $2,845 in options (onboard navigation and premium sound system, power sliding roof) and a $720 destination charge.

Type: The Chevrolet Cruze LTZ sedan driven here is a gasoline-powered, front-engine, front-wheel-drive subcompact sedan with a traditional notchback trunk.

Mileage: 26 mpg city, 36 mpg highway. to anyone at GM, or at other car companies possessed of that erroneous thinking, that Americans rejected earlier hatchbacks simply because they were lousy hatchbacks?

I put the question to Edward Welburn, a graduate of Howard University who now serves as GM’s chief of global product design.

“Previous hatchbacks brought to the United States were not the greatest,” Welburn conceded. “They were seen as cheap, throwaway cars. I believe if we gave people high-quality, welldesigned hatchbacks, they would sell in the United States as well as they sell in Europe.”

Well, then, why isn’t the Cruze hatchback coming to the United States?

Welburn smiled, hunched his shoulders, and evaded my question with the ease of a politician.

“You ought to look into that,” he said.

I did. What I found was a hairball of myths and misconceptions that disserve American automotive consumers as well as the automobile manufacturers that supply them. Here are a few: Myth No. 1: Americans hate hatchbacks.

Truth: Americans are much like car consumers worldwide.

They hate lousy cars. If a hatchback is a genuinely bad car, they won’t like it. If it is a genuinely excellent car offered at an attractive price, they will buy it — hatchback or not.

Myth No. 2: Americans don’t like small cars. Baloney! Tell that to the dealers in the United States who are selling every BMWspawned Mini Cooper they can move through their showroom doors. Again, the truth is simple: Give buyers good, fun, high-

Check pump when windshield fluid won’t flow

By Paul Brand (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

Q:

I have a 2007 Saturn Vue with 40,000 miles. My windshield washer fluid won’t “squirt.” Yes, the reservoir is full.

What is this going to cost me?

Start by listening for the operation of the washer pump, which is in the bottom of the washer reservoir. If the pump does not run, check the wiper system fuses and relays in the underhood fuse panel. But if the wipers operate, the problem is just with the washer system.

A:

Unplug the electrical connector from the pump and check for voltage to the pump with a test light or voltmeter. If voltage is reaching the pump when the washer is activated, the pump has failed. If no voltage is present, the problem is in the switch, harness or the body control module.

If the pump operates, there may be some type of blockage.

Start at the nozzles aimed at the windshield. Follow the tubes from the nozzles back to the first connection that can be separated and check for fluid flow. If fluid

is being delivered at this junction, the blockage is in the tubes or nozzles. If there’s no fluid delivery, the pump’s filter may be clogged. Remove the pump from the bottom of the reservoir, then remove and clean the filter.

My car has begun to lose power above 65-70 mph.

I’ve noticed it also bogs down when I accelerate hard, like when getting on the freeway. It starts OK and runs smoothly at normal speeds. Any idea what could be the cause?

There are several things that could cause this driveability symptom. Either the engine is starving for fuel, or it can’t breathe properly due to an intake or exhaust system restriction. If you had also noticed rough running or sputtering symptoms, we’d also want to take a look at the ignition system. Does your “check engine” light illuminate? If so, valuable clues await discovery via a scantool connection.

A restricted fuel filter is the first thing I would suspect. A dirty filter may pass enough fuel to satisfy lower-speed engine requirements, but it can’t deliver as needed when a large volume of fuel is called for. Should repeated filter problems occur, substantial tank contamination is likely, requiring draining and cleaning of the tank.

Inspecting and renewing the air filter is also a good idea, as well as checking for debris in the air intake system, which typically comprises a plastic box and hoses.

If fuel- and air-filter replacement doesn’t do the trick, diagnostic tests will be needed to check fuel pressure and volume, as well as exhaust system back pressure. If fuel pressure or volume fail to meet specifications, a failing fuel pump or restricted fuel pickup sock within the fuel

quality cars at attractive prices and they will come.

Myth No. 3: Americans won’t go for electric cars. An automobile manufacturer operating on that erroneous belief is writing an end to its future. On display at stands all over the Paris exhibit, which ends Sunday, are all-electric and hybrid-electric models ranging from the Aixam Mega city car (French) to the superslick, super-fast (0 to 60 mph in three seconds), lithium-ion-battery Jaguar C-X75 (India). Someone is going to score a fantastic breakthrough in electric-powered motoring. But it won’t be a company saddled with myths about what it thinks Americans won’t buy.

Bottom line: It’s time to get bold, GM. You can start by giving us the Cruze hatchback and the spiffy diesel-powered Cruze models you are selling overseas.

tank may be the cause.

Excessive exhaust back pressure can be caused by a failed or internally disintegrated catalytic converter or an obstructed tailpipe. Typically, the engine runs acceptably at lower speeds but just can’t breathe well enough to run fast. A check of engine vacuum, comparing the readings at idle to higher speed in neutral, can point to breathing problems.

Exhaust back pressure also can be directly checked with a gauge attached to a vacated oxygen sensor fitting.

In many cases, a failed catalytic converter can also be identified by smacking it several times with a rubber mallet. If a rattle is heard, this indicates breakup of the converter’s internal substrate, a ceramic honeycomb plated with precious metals. Should a failed catalytic converter be identified, one should diligently seek and correct the cause of failure — usually an engine misfire or fuel-mixture fault — in addition to renewing the converter.

Based on your symptoms, I blew past the ignition system, which is of course critical to proper engine performance.

In most cases an ignition fault results in choppy or rough running or a no-start condition.

Should the above suggestions fail to rectify the problem, a check for the ignition system’s available voltage and successful spark delivery to the spark plugs would certainly be a good idea.

The Birth of a Modern Marvel A bold new bridge gives Americans a fresh view of the majestic Hoover Dam

HE FIRST TIME I SAW

T

the Hoover Dam, more than 15 years ago, I remember thinking that anyone who really wants to understand America needs to see it. I’d been exposed to images of the dam my whole life—in history books, in movies—but nothing can prepare you for its size, beauty, and audaciousness in person. The most ambitious and resonant publicworks project in the U.S., it boosted the nation’s spirit during the Depression, provided the irrigation and power that nurtured the West, and inspired generations of big dreamers.

When I visited the dam again recently, I gazed upon something equally breathtaking: the new concrete-arch bridge that sits a quarter-mile downstream on the Colorado River. Appropriately modern, the dramatic span resembles nothing more than a massive emoticon: a wide dash atop a sideways parenthesis wedged between the jagged canyon walls. And while the bridge was built to protect national security—by routing vehicles away from the vulnerable dam—and ease traffic, the timing of its completion has turned it into a spectacular 75th birthday present to the Hoover Dam (which President Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicated on Sept. 30, 1935).

Like the dam—which was the world’s tallest in its day—this new landmark boasts superlatives of its own. It is the largest concrete-arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere, sitting on 4 • October 17, 2010

The bypass bridge was built in part for national-security reasons—the Hoover Dam is thought to be our nation’s most vulnerable landmark.

the highest precast segmented columns in the world. “Two different engineering feats for two different times,” said Ken Rice, who manages the Hoover Dam for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and had a front-row seat to the bypass’s momentby-moment construction. “The difference is, when they built the dam, they were doing it with nobody around. With the bridge, they did it with millions of people like me watching.”

At a cost of $108 million (or $1.7 billion in to-

day’s dollars), the Hoover Dam was a mammoth construction project. Some 6 million cubic yards of rock were dug up and 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete poured, requiring 10,000 laborers, 112 of whom are thought to have died in the process.

The dam’s impact has been incalculable. Its ability to control the flow of the Colorado River and generate power helped spur the growth of many of the West’s major cities, including Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, San Diego, and

Building the Arch, Step by Perilous Step Construction of the 1060-footlong arch started in January 2008 and took 19 months of dangerous, painstaking high-wire work.

Each half of the span was built by casting it piece by piece in mid-air—106 sections in all.

Las Vegas. Today over 20 million people in Nevada, Arizona, and California depend on the dam for their water, as do 1.3 million people for their electricity. Its water also irrigates more than one million acres of farmland in the U.S. and Mexico.

HE DAM’S BUILDERS PLACED A

poky, two-lane road along the top, not knowing it would become a major thoroughfare: the river crossing for U.S. 93, a popular tourist route between the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas and a major commercial route linking Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. Over 14,000 vehicles cross it each day, or more than 5.1 million a year. Traffic bottlenecks have existed since the 1960s.

In the 1990s, terrorist bombings in Oklahoma City and at New York City’s World Trade Center made it clear that the dam was perhaps the most vulnerable U.S. landmark. If it were destroyed, catastrophe would result: crushing floods, blackouts, and drought. Still, it wasn’t until after 9/11 that commercial trucks were banned. Aggravating the hours-long delays at peak times, checkpoints for cars were set up at the dam. Creating a bypass became a priority, and dozens of local, state, and federal stakeholders—from the Department of Transportation and the National Park Service to the trucking industry and Native American groups—all wanted a part in the discussions.

As manager of the bypass project for the Federal Highway Administration, Dave Zanetell was in charge of herding the parties. “My trusted mentors said, ‘Don’t take that job,’ ” the driven, broad-shouldered engineer recalled with a smile.

“They said, ‘It’ll never happen; they’ll never form

top contractors and engineers were brought to the river’s edge to look at the bridge site and decide whether to bid on the project. One veteran bridge builder recalled standing there in awe when he first saw it, and saying, “This is a big hole—bigger than anything I’ve ever spanned.

That’s when you have a gut-check time.”

Ground was broken in January 2005, with completion targeted for late 2008. Workers began by excavating 25,000 cubic yards of rock and building 300-foot-high reinforced concrete columns that would support the first 840 feet of roadway on land.

Then they erected 140-foot-tall metal towers on either side of the canyon and strung an elaborate system of steel cables across it. Functioning like a heavy-duty dumbwaiter, the cable system was critical; it would need to transport and hold up to 50ton loads of material and workers over the river.

So it was a huge setback on Sept. 15, 2006, when one of the towers collapsed in a storm and brought down the cable system. The accident added over a year to the schedule. While a replacement was being built, crews at another site made the concrete columns that would be the bridge’s vertical supports.

By January 2008, a new cable system was in place, and workers embarked on the most challenging step: constructing the arch in mid-air. Rather than being cast on the ground and then put into position, the bridge would be the first of its scale in the U.S. whose arch would be cast—piece by 25continued

To create a perfect curve, the two sides had to meet within one inch of each other.

The 3/8" gap between the halves was joined by a block of reinforced concrete.

foot piece, 106 in all—while dangling over the river. The growing halves were held in place by the steel-cable system, and workers could adjust the arches’ angle by tensing the cables, much like tuning a 300-foot-tall harp. The goal was to make sure the two sides met—they could be no more than one inch apart. “It wasn’t a job for the weak of heart or the weak of skill,” said Ken Hirschmugl, project director for Obayashi Corp., one of the companies that built the bridge with the U.S. government.

Just before Thanksgiving 2008, a hydraulic jack dislodged, hitting a worker and killing him. It was the only fatality on a project that employed nearly 400 engineers and over 1200 trade and craft workers.

In August 2009, the arch was done. They were only threeeighths of an inch apart, and a block of reinforced concrete was used to connect them. To celebrate the occasion, the crew held a huge picnic attended by everyone around the world who had worked on the bridge. On a 110-degree afternoon, hundreds rejoiced— and then went back to work.

Heavy construction had finished by the time of my visit. A proud Zanetell stood on the 1900-footlong, 88-foot-wide bridge and escorted my group of the first civilians to set foot on the pedestrian walkway. The path is separated from the four-lane highway by a barrier that will prevent drivers from rubbernecking at the dam once the bridge opens to traffic later this month.

Everyone who works at the Hoover Dam is curious about the impact of the new structure, which Congress has named the Mike O’Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (after the late Nevada

governor and the late Arizona soldier and football player). Ken Rice, who runs the dam, hopes that with less congestion, more tourists will visit and learn about its key role in the history of the United States.

At 900 feet in the air, the bridge offers views so panoramic I almost felt like I was flying. Next to me, Zanetell savored the last days of his 10-year construction odyssey and wondered what he, and the country, can do with the lessons learned.

“There’ll only be one bridge built in the shadow of the Hoover Dam, the greatest location in America,” he said. “Now that we’re finished, we have an obligation to take this sense of possibility and go do 10 more amazing things.”

JANUVIA should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). If you have had pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), it is not known if you have a higher chance of getting it while taking JANUVIA. Selected Risk Information About JANUVIA: Serious side effects can happen in people who take JANUVIA, including pancreatitis, which may be severe and lead to death. Before you start taking JANUVIA, tell your doctor if you’ve ever had pancreatitis. Stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back. The pain may happen with or without vomiting. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis.

Do not take JANUVIA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including sitagliptin. Symptoms of serious allergic reactions to JANUVIA, including rash, hives, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat that may cause difficulty breathing or swallowing, can occur. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away.

If you take JANUVIA with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as a sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of getting low blood sugar is higher. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine or insulin may need to be lowered while you use JANUVIA. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, hunger, fast heart beat, sweating, and feeling jittery.

Your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment with JANUVIA to see how well your kidneys are working. Based on these results, your doctor may change your dose of JANUVIA. The most common side effects of JANUVIA are upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache.

Sunday with...

William Shatner A quick swim, visits with the family, and bagels (all-in-one, of course)

W

the legendary Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, is long accustomed to going where no man has gone before. Now, at 79, he’s starring in his first network sitcom, $#*! My Dad Says, airing Thursday nights at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Robert Masello asked him about his recipe for a perfect Sunday.

PARADE Starring in a TV series can be grueling. Has it changed your Sundays?

WILLIAM SHATNER The reality is that there’s this sword of Damocles hanging over my head all day. A lot of my Sundays are now spent learning 42 pages of dialogue—or worrying about learning it all. The day of ease can very quickly become a day of unease.

PARADE What do you do to get

your mind off all that?

SHATNER I like to sleep in, then swim and exercise. rcise. I run in place for maybe aybe a half-hour and do ass many arm and leg exercises ises as possible.

ercise. So then I’ve got another niggling thing to be worried about.

PARADE What about going to church? Any chance of that calming your thoughts?

SHATNER I don’t go to any formal place of worship, though I constantly drift in and out of a sense of spirituality related to what I’m seeing all around me: my children and grandchildren, my beautiful wife, the dogs and horses I keep. I ascribe it all—the luck of being in good health and good fortune—to the finger of fate.

PARADE You mention dogs and

horses. Sounds like quite an active household.

SHATNER It is. We live in California, up in the hills, and we’ve got two Dobermans, who are the sweetest, most loving creatures creatures.

They’re an integral part of my life, as are the quarter horses horses.

We compete with them, and

Shatner keeps quarter horses and two Dobermans.

I’ve actually won some prizes. I’m getting pretty darn good at riding.

PARADE So you like to spend a lot of time outside on Sunday?

SHATNER I am an outdoorsy kind of guy, but my previously unassailable energy does have some limitations. I do like to watch the news shows on Sunday morning, but then I start to worry about the melting polar ice caps and what’s happening in Afghanistan. One of my most prized possessions is an iPad; I’m locked into The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times on that. But I still get the Los An-

geles Times delivered because I’m worried about journalists like yourself being able to make a living these days.

Me, too. Thanks. But looking back to your youth in Montreal, how were those Sundays spent?

SHATNER My father had brought over most of the family from Europe in the ’20s and ’30s—he had 11 siblings in all—and we’d go to everyone’s houses and enjoy all the good food, like brisket, made by his sisters and brothers.

PARADE Was your father anything like the curmudgeonly dad you play in the new sitcom?

SHATNER Not really, but he did have a temper. He was a hardworking guy, in the clothing business, and he was always pushing us toward excellence in whatever we did. But the best part of those Sunday feasts were the bagels, cream cheese, and lox. I was into onion for the longest time before I graduated to sesame, and then, as became my personality, the all-in-one, the kind that had all the seeds on it.

I think the kind of bagel you get is like a Rorschach test.

PARADE Sounds like you miss

all that.

SHATNER I hadn’t thought of it this way until now, but we’re really doing the equivalent of it on Sundays today. My wife and I go to visit my three daughters and their children, or they come to my house, or we all go out to eat somewhere together. We eat a lot of Italian food and a lot of Chinese, though I have to watch out for MSG—you do not want to look puffy on camera the next day!

PARADE And after dinner, as the day winds to a close…

SHATNER We have a small, cozy TV room with a big leather sofa. My wife sits in a massage chair, and the two 90-pound Dobermans lie in my lap on the sofa. We watch TV until Liz falls asleep, and I just hold the dogs and watch a movie and let all the anxiety about the melting ice caps and Afghanistan—and now your job as a journalist—fade into the background. And I’m content.

CookIt!

by Bobby Flay

The Great Grilled-Cheese Challenge

‘R

EADY FOR A THROWDOWN?”

Those are the first words many cooks hear when I visit their restaurants and challenge them to a cook-off for my Food Net-

Legal Notice

If You Lived, Worked, or Attended School in the Nitro Area of West Virginia, a Class Action Lawsuit May Affect Your Rights.

You could be affected by a class action lawsuit against Monsanto Company and various others (the “Defendants”) about whether air emissions from burning waste materials at the old Monsanto chemical plant in Nitro, West Virginia and other locations in the area created a significant health risk requiring diagnostic medical examinations.

The case in the Circuit Court of Putnam County, West Virginia is called Bibb v. Monsanto Company, No. 04-C-465. For more information, get a detailed notice at www.BibbClass.com, by calling 1-877-552-1274, or writing to Bibb Medical Monitoring Class, PO Box 1031, Minneapolis, MN 55440-1031.

resulting in a significant health risk have occurred. The lawyers for the Medical Monitoring Class will have to prove the Class’ claims at trial.

Are You Affected?

You must decide now whether you want to be included in this lawsuit and remain part of the Medical Monitoring Class.

Generally, the Medical Monitoring Class includes anyone who lived, worked full-time or attended school full-time in the Class Area between 1948 and the present. The Class Area covers a large geographic area in both Kanawha and Putnam counties, including Nitro, Rock Branch, Poca, and portions of St. Albans and Cross Lanes. A map of the Class Area is available at www.BibbClass.com, by calling 1-877-552-1274, or writing to Bibb Medical Monitoring Class, PO Box 1031, Minneapolis, MN 55440-1031.

What is This Case About?

The lawsuit claims that air emissions from the old Monsanto plant and several other sites where the plant’s waste materials were burned contaminated the air of Nitro and the surrounding area with dioxin.

Dioxin is a toxic byproduct created by various industrial processes including the production of 2,4,5T, an herbicide produced at the Nitro plant. The lawsuit claims that this contamination created a significant health risk that requires future medical examinations for those affected by the contamination. The lawsuit asks that a court-supervised fund be established to pay for medical monitoring services. Eligibility for benefits will likely depend on factors to be determined at trial, including your age and the location and the length of time you lived, worked, or attended school in the Class Area.

The Defendants deny the claims in the lawsuit and specifically deny that any emissions or contamination

Who Represents You? The Court has appointed The Calwell Practice PLLC of Charleston, West Virginia to represent you as “Class Counsel.” You do not have to pay Class Counsel to participate. Instead, if Class Counsel obtains benefits for the Medical Monitoring Class, they will ask the Court for attorneys’ fees and costs, which may be deducted from any benefits obtained or be paid separately by the Defendants.

What are Your Options?

Stay in the Medical Monitoring Class: To stay in the Medical Monitoring Class, you do not have to do anything. If benefits are awarded, you will be notified about how to make an individual claim. You will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you will not be able to separately sue the Defendants about the legal claims in this case. If you stay in the Medical Monitoring Class, you have the option of hiring your own lawyer to appear in Court for you or you may appear in Court on your own.

Get out of the Medical Monitoring Class: If you want to keep your right to sue the Defendants on your own about the claims in this case, you must exclude yourself from the Medical Monitoring Class. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded. To ask to be excluded, send a letter to Bibb Medical Monitoring Class Exclusions, PO Box 1031, Minneapolis, MN 55440-1031, postmarked no later than November 30, 2010, that says you want to be excluded from the Medical Monitoring Class in Bibb v. Monsanto Company. Include your name, address, telephone number, and signature.

Real Men Do Wear Pink

Vanessa Silva-Welch and father Arnaldo Silva battled breast cancer side by side.

ready understood their pain.”

Still, nothing prepared him for the news that he had the same disease.

Diagnosed at stage 2, he underwent a mastectomy to remove some breast tissue, his nipple, and most of the area’s lymph nodes.

Silva also tested positive for BRCA2 —a breast-cancer gene mutation that carries an increased risk for developing breast, ovarian, and other cancers. Four months later, his daughter Vanessa Silva-Welch, then 32, learned that she too was BRCA2-positive—and had cancer in one of her breasts. With the support of her husband, Mark, she decided to undergo a double mastectomy as a preventive measure, since the chance of recurrence of cancer in her healthy breast was high. (Vanessa’s younger brother, Arnaldo III, tested BRCA2-positive as well but has remained cancer-free.)

Father and daughter ended up going through chemotherapy together, sometimes hooked up to adjacent IVs. “We were the rock stars of the hospital,” Silva says. “The staff had seen mothers, daughters, and sisters with breast cancer, but they’d never seen a father and daughter before.”

“I constantly thank him for saving my life,” says Silva-Welch, a New York City school administrator.

SHOULD YOU GET TESTED FOR THE BREAST-CANCER GENE? Even though having the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene significantly raises one’s chances of developing breast, ovarian, and other cancers, routine testing is not recommended, according to Dr. Sharon Rosenbaum Smith, the New York City breast surgeon who treated both Arnaldo Silva and Vanessa Silva-Welch. That’s because less than 1% of Americans possess these gene mutations. But if you have a blood relative who has had breast or ovarian cancer, ask your physician if you should get screened. The test requires a blood sample, which is usually combined with genetic counseling to accurately assess your risks.

Silva seems to be the lone man in a sea of pink. “I feel a little left out,” the two-time breast-cancer survivor says of the products, races, and T-shirts promoting National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. “I want people to know it is not just a woman’s disease.”

Since most men aren’t aware of the risk because the incidence is so low, Silva, 60, is making it his mission to tell people about breast cancer in men. Of the estimated 209,060 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in the U.S. this year, 1970 will be in men, according to the American Cancer Society.

In September 2006, the New York City native noticed a pimple-size lump near his right nipple while in the shower. “It didn’t hurt, so I kept quiet about it,” Silva says. “But a few months later, it was bigger, and I knew something wasn’t right.”

His primary-care physician told him it was fatty tissue—nothing to worry about. But his wife, Maria, a nurse, urged him to get a second opinion, and the new doctor sent him for a mammogram, sonogram, and biopsy. That’s how the burly, 6-foot-2 Silva, who maintains the boilers in a junior high school, ended up sitting in a hospital waiting room full of women and dressed—you guessed it—in a pink gown. “They were all looking at me, wondering why I was there.”

He wondered the same thing. “I didn’t even know men had breasts,” he says. When he complained as his chest was squeezed into the mammogram machine, the female technician said, “Now you know how we feel,” Silva recalls. “But I have a mother, daughter, and four sisters. My older sister died of breast cancer at 47. I felt I al-

“If it wasn’t for his diagnosis, I would have waited until 40 to get a mammogram. It might have been too late.” Since her three children are at risk, they will be tested when they reach their 20s.

end there. During his annual mammogram last spring, doctors found a lump in his left breast, and he had a second mastectomy. “I have matching scars,” he jokes.

Determined to turn their pain into purpose, father and daughter have started a nonprofit organization, LIFE (Live in Faith Everyday), to spread the word about male breast cancer, especially in minority neighborhoods. (Silva is Latino.) “Those communities are underserved in learning about nutrition, exercise, and staying healthy to prevent cancer,” Silva-Welch says. “AfricanAmericans and Latinos often don’t get tested even when they feel something.”

Her father has also been speaking to boys at school health classes. “Girls have their mothers and doctors talk to them about breast cancer. Nobody talks to young men,” Silva says. “I tell them, ‘This is your body; don’t be embarrassed to examine it. If you feel something strange, don’t stay silent.

It could be deadly.’ I want the same awareness for men as there is for women so guys won’t feel like freak shows.”

Someday, Silva says with a grin, “I hope the pink ribbon has a tinge of blue. It doesn’t have to be split in the middle— just give us a corner.”

Many fruits and some vegetables release ethylene, a gas that promotes ripening. Keeping them inside a closed paper bag can speed the process by increasing their exposure to the ethylene. In contrast, ripening can be slowed by enclosing the produce in a chemically treated bag that absorbs the gas.

Handling fruits and vegetables to their best advantage is actually a tricky business. If you store fruits that emit large amounts of ethylene near vegetables that are

Bob Vila ranks new 2011 EdenPURE portable heater #1 in North America U.S. designed and engineered GEN4 uses new Sylvania heat source and EdenFLOW ™ direct air technology Accept no imitations - portable heaters and fireplaces “dry out” the air with inefficient ceramic heating elements Bob Vila, America’s Favorite Home Improvement Expert, Canton, Ohio

I know why millions of Americans are saving on their heating bills with the EdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater.

And now you can save up to $102 on the new 2011 EdenPURE® GEN4, the finest portable heater in the world.

The new GEN4 was designed and engineered in the USA and has several patented technological breakthroughs to save you money on your heating bill.

U.S. engineers combined specially designed Sylvania Infrared Bulbs with the existing EdenPURE® copper heating chambers for more efficient heating. They even redesigned the air flow, resulting in amplified heating performance. The designers at EdenPURE ® call this their “EdenFLOW™ Direct Air” technology.

For over 30 years as your home improvement television host, I have reviewed and experienced thousands of products. I have an EdenPURE® in my Massachusetts home and found it to be a very safe and reliable source of portable heat. This is one of those few comfort investments I can recommend for your home that will truly pay dividends.

We all know heating costs are expected to remain at record levels. The cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. The EdenPURE ® GEN4 can cut your heating bills, pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that.

With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EdenPURE® heats better, faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

A major cause of residential fires in the United States is portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professionals everywhere, the EdenPURE ® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire.

The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE®.

The EdenPURE ® can also help you feel better. Unlike EdenPURE ® imitators, it will not reduce humidity or oxygen in the room. These imitators use ceramic

plates instead of our patented copper. The EdenPURE ® GEN4 has over 1 pound of copper! Cheap ceramic plates reduce humidity, dry out your sinuses and make your skin dry. With other heating sources, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

The advanced space-age EdenPURE® GEN4 also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Other heating sources heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated high and to the center of the room. And as you know, portable heaters only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EdenPURE®, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

Photos using infrared lighting demonstrated that the heat was almost perfectly even from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. The EdenPURE® advanced infrared efficiency is based on the distribution of energized air, not on just fan movement. This heat is called "soft heat" due to how comfortable it is.

How can a person cut their heating bill with the EdenPURE®?

First, the EdenPURE ® uses less energy to create heat than many other sources, but that is just part of why it will cut a person’s heat-

ing bill. The EdenPURE ® will heat a room in minutes. You will immediately notice the difference!

Therefore, you can turn the heat down in your house to as low as 50 degrees, but the room you are occupying, which has the EdenPURE ®, will be warm and comfortable.

Your EdenPURE® GEN4 Portable easily rolls from room to

room. Using zone heating keeps you comfortable and reduces your heating bills. This can drastically cut heating bills; in some instances, the savings may be substantial.

The EdenPURE® will pay for itself in weeks. It will keep a great deal of extra money in a user’s pocket. Because of today’s spiraling gas, oil, propane, and other energy costs, the EdenPURE ® will provide even greater savings as time goes by.

With no increase in price, the new EdenPURE® GEN4 has been updated with the latest technology, safety, and comfort features to provide you with even greater comfort, more savings, and years of reliability.

The EdenPURE® GEN4 Port-

able Heater comes with a comprehensive five year warranty and a 60-day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee – EdenPURE® will even pay for the return shipping. There is absolutely no risk.

And EdenPURE® is the only portable heater with a National Service Network.

How to order: There are two models to choose from: the new U.S. engineered GEN4 or our Personal Heater. The GEN4 comfortably heats an area up to 1,000 square feet while the Personal Heater covers up to 300 square feet.

sensitive to it, the latter will decay faster than usual. Peaches, for example, may ruin spinach in a couple of days.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s last study, Americans discard about 25% of the food they purchase, with fruits and vegetables accounting for most of that waste. Learning better ways to store produce— including when and how to refrigerate fruits and vegetables— could lower your grocery bills significantly.

Say you shoot a bullet straight across an open, perfectly level plain. Simultaneously, you drop a bullet from the height of the gun barrel. Which one will hit the ground first?

—Cheryl Smith, Anaheim, Calif.

In theory, both will strike the ground at the same time. Contrary to intuition, the sideward force doesn’t interfere with the downward force. The gunshot sends the bullet across the plain while gravity takes it down.

Survival of the Fittest The racial slurs she heard as a child fueled journalist Soledad O’Brien’s drive to succeed

I PHOTOS BY HARDEN/CORBIS OUTLINE (HEAD SHOT) AND COURTESY OF SOLEDAD O’BRIEN (FAMILY PHOTO)

’M 11. MY SISTER ESTELA

is 14. We’re at a photo studio in Smithtown, N.Y., not that far from where we live.

The photographer says, “Forgive me if I’m offending you, but are you black?” I turn the comment over in my head. I’m trying to figure out why these nicesounding words make me feel small and embarrassed. Estela, light years ahead of me, starts to shred the guy.

“Offend us? Offend us? By asking if we are black?” He’s white, and we’re two mixed-race girls trying to get our picture taken as an anniversary present for our parents. It’s 1977. I’m this cheery, optimistic kid who suddenly feels quite sunk.

Forgive me if I’m offending you… What is that supposed to mean? I am black; I am also Latina, and half white through my Australian father. That isn’t typical in Smithtown, but there is nothing wrong with me. I just don’t understand how it could possibly be offensive to be black.

This is the first time I remember feeling like I might be disliked for who I am. But Estela is totally on it. She gives me the universal body language for “We’re taking a walk” and off we go.

I think this was the day it began, my life of perpetual motion. I was a middleclass girl in a middle-class Long Island suburb, but my life became like those games of dodge ball in the schoolyard.

When you move, you can’t get hit. You survive to play again. By doing that, you come out the winner.

There was the day I was walking down Visit us at PARADE.COM

the hall to science. An older kid, an eighth-grader, came up to me. “If you’re a [n-word], why don’t you have big lips?” he asked. It killed me that I could feel myself trying to formulate an answer, as if the question merited one. There was no hostility in his voice. He wasn’t much bigger than me; he wasn’t even scary. Today, almost 33 years later, I could pick him out of a lineup. That day, I just pursed my mouth and kept moving. I wouldn’t dignify him with a response. I had to get to class.

I’ve been a journalist now for over 20 years. I sprint from story to story. I am a big version of that little girl in Smithtown, except now I’m walking toward something rather than away from it. In interviews, I force people to consider every word they say. I dig in to the awkward question. I revel in making people rethink their words.

Nothing stops me. It’s not that I’m propelled by unfounded optimism. I just see life as a series of victories, of wins.

‘I learned I didn’t need to confront every injustice thrown my way.’

I graduated with honors from a school where being half black and half white meant that I was the brunt of bad jokes.

I went to Harvard, just like my sister Estela—like all six of us siblings, in fact.

I am by all objective measures a successful journalist. I’ve gone on to marry a great guy, have four healthy kids, anchor a network TV show, write books, give speeches, and produce award-winning documentaries about challenging subjects like race.

That eighth-grader didn’t hinder my forward motion one bit. Whatever became of him, he was wrong about me. Whatever assumptions he made about me, I refuted them by succeeding. Encounters like that changed me for the better. I learned that I didn’t need to stop and confront every injustice thrown my way. That anger could teach me. That my experiences could help me identify with people with whom I had little in common.

I knew that if I let anger take hold of me, every person who rubbed me the wrong way would be paying for that guy back at the photo studio in 1977. Forgive me if I’m offending you… I think life harbors the possibility that we can push forward and come out better on the other end. In this country, one thing that’s certain is that not far around the corner from every ugly thing there’s something really beautiful. And if you stop at every bitter comment, you will never reach your destination.
