Mote’s the man!

Body found might be Blaylock’s IDANHA — A Marion County Sheriff’s Office spokesman says kayakers spotted a body in the North Santiam River and investigators will try to determine if it belongs to missing Bend woman Lori “Woody” Blaylock.

Sheriff’s spokesman Don Thomson says the kayakers discovered the body Saturday in the river near Idanha, east of Detroit Lake. The body couldn’t be recovered before nightfall.

Blaylock was reported missing by her co-workers at St. Charles Bend on Nov. 2, and some of her clothing was found at another part of the river last month.

Blaylock’s husband, Steven Blaylock, has since been arrested and faces a murder charge in her disappearance.

Internet saboteurs say it’s a fight for freedom

By David Sarno Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Rafix was set to attack. The target: Visa .com. The weapon: a battery of personal computers ready to jam the site with millions of simultaneous log-in requests.

“FIRE AT WILL, gentlemen!”

Rafix wrote in an online message. “Enjoy the EPIC battle of GLORY!” Within seconds of the battle cry, the attackers crippled the website of the world’s largest credit card company. Unable to weather the massive surge in traffic, Visa’s site was out of commission for most of the day.

Visa came under fire for its decision to suspend the processing of donations to WikiLeaks, the controversial website that has been publishing confidential U.S. government documents. The attack was coordinated through an Internet chat room where more than 1,000 online activists were signed in, massing for the call to fire.

Clean and muddy water runs down Tumalo Creek in Shevlin Park last month after part of the city of Bend’s Bridge Creek water system became clogged with debris. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is working with the city to find a solution to the problem.

Each case is different, but local detectives have heard the stories dozens of times.

There are the employees who told themselves they weren’t stealing, that they’d pay it back.

The caretakers who figured no one would notice if they drained some money from an elderly person’s account. The online scammers who preyed upon the trust and goodwill of unsuspecting strangers.

And these days, with the economy making some people desperate and forcing business owners to take a closer look at their books, they’re the kinds of stories that are becoming more and more common. Around Central Oregon, law enforcement officials say they’ve had a steady stream of financial cases land on their desks this year. Many of the cases are increasingly complex, requiring police and prosecutors to sign up for specialized training, and enlist the help of accountants and other outside experts.

This year, Bend police detectives have handled several highprofile cases involving people who allegedly stole from their employers or business owners who scammed customers.

One involved a now former hospital communications director who eventually pleaded no contest to using hospital credit cards and checks to steal nearly $20,000.

A secretive few defend big banks in a vast market

and opaque with sediment.

On the third Wednesday of every month, the nine members of an elite Wall Street society gather in Midtown Manhattan.

The men share a common goal: to protect the interests of big banks in the vast market for derivatives, one of the most profitable — and controversial — fields in finance. They also share a common secret: The details of their meetings, even their identities, have been strictly confidential.

Drawn from giants like JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the bankers form a powerful committee that helps oversee trading in derivatives, instruments which, like insurance, are used to hedge risk.

There was even a short section where the different hues ran parallel with each other, almost like merging lanes of traffic, before eventually mingling together and traveling downstream toward Tumalo Creek’s confluence with the middle portion of the Deschutes River.

“It looked like the chocolate river in the Willy Wonka movie,” Buchanan said. “If you go two miles upstream, Tumalo Creek is as clear as can be.”

While Buchanan had seen this sort of turbidity event happen on Tumalo Creek before, he always assumed it was natural runoff caused by rain or snow melt.

It wasn’t until he undertook efforts to convince the city to change directions on its proposed $73 million over-

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is now looking for a way to solve this problem, and as a result of receiving photos of the creek from Buchanan, visited with city officials last week to try to find a solution.

“It really was a severe case of tur-

bidity in the water,” said Eric Nigg, the DEQ water quality manager for Central Oregon. “We’re not looking at enforcement right now. We want to solve the problem, and at this point are just trying to work with the city to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

The turbidity Buchanan saw during his run was coming from a series of pipes and ditches the city of Bend uses to put excess water it takes from Bridge Creek back into Tumalo Creek. Most days this water is clear when it reaches the creek from this diversion channel, but a clog at the top of the ditch caused it to overflow, resulting in a significant amount of erosion that sent dirt and other debris into the stream.

Public health officials closed the books this month on an outbreak of salmonella that had sickened more than 1,900 people since May and led to the largest recall

of eggs in U.S. history.

Two Iowa egg farms drew most of the blame, triggering a congressional inquiry, a criminal probe and lawsuits by victims.

What has not drawn much scrutiny is the role of the federal government, which

recognized 20 years ago that salmonella in eggs posed a threat. Although federal inspectors have closely monitored meat and poultry for the better part of a century, they have largely ignored eggs.

An image from video shows an emergency worker extinguishing the flames after a car exploded Saturday in the center of Stockholm.

The explosion and what appeared to be a suicide attack injured two people, killed the apparent bomber and caused panic among Christmas shoppers.

Ten minutes before the blast, Swedish news agency TT received an e-mail saying “the time has come to take action.”

According to the news agency, the e-mail referred to Sweden’s silence surrounding artist Lars Vilk’s drawing of Muhammad as a dog and its soldiers in Afghanistan.

Mark Madoff, the older of Bernard Madoff’s two sons, hanged himself in his Manhattan apartment Saturday, the second anniversary of his father’s arrest for running a gigantic Ponzi scheme that shattered thousands of lives around the world.

“Mark Madoff took his own life today,” Martin Flumenbaum, Mark Madoff’s lawyer, said in a statement. “This is a terrible and unnecessary tragedy.”

He called Mark Madoff “an innocent victim of his father’s monstrous crime who succumbed to two years of unrelenting pressure from false accusations and innuendo.”

According to Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne, officers responded to a 911 call made just before 7:30 a.m.

Saturday from Madoff’s apartment building at 158 Mercer

St. Browne said officers found Madoff’s body hanging from a black dog leash attached to a metal beam on the living room ceiling. He said there was no evidence of foul play. Madoff’s “2-year-old son was asleep in an adjoining bedroom,” Browne said.

Law enforcement officials said Madoff sent e-mails to his wife in Florida sometime after 4 a.m. Saturday. “It was more than one,” said an official, “at least one of which indicated that someone should check on his 2year-old son.”

Browne said the body was discovered by Martin London, a prominent New York lawyer who is the stepfather of Mark’s wife, Stephanie.

London apparently had gone to the apartment in response to the message to check on the child. London declined to comment.

Propping up, then arresting, a leading Afghan drug lord

By James Risen New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — When Hajji Juma Khan was arrested and transported to New York to face charges under a new U.S. narcoterrorism law in 2008, federal prosecutors described him as perhaps the biggest and most dangerous drug lord in Afghanistan, a shadowy figure who had helped keep the Taliban in business with a steady stream of money and weapons.

But what the government did not say was that Juma Khan was also a longtime American informer, who provided information about the Taliban, Afghan corruption and other drug traffickers.

Central Intelligence Agency officers and Drug Enforcement Administration agents relied on him as a valued source for years, even as he was building one of Afghanistan’s biggest drug operations after the U.S.-led invasion of the country, according to current and former American officials.

Along the way, he was also paid a large amount of cash by the United States.

At the height of his power, Juma Khan was secretly flown to Washington for a series of clandestine meetings with CIA and DEA officials in 2006.

Even then, the United States was receiving reports that he was on his way to becoming Afghanistan’s most important narcotics trafficker by taking over the drug operations of his rivals, and paying off Taliban leaders and corrupt politicians in President Hamid Karzai’s government.

In a series of videotaped meetings in Washington hotels, Juma Khan offered tantalizing leads to the CIA and DEA, in return for what he hoped would be protected status as an American asset, according to American officials.

The relationship between the U.S. government and Juma Khan is another illustration of how the war on drugs and the war on terrorism have sometimes collided, particularly in Afghanistan, where drug dealing, the insurgency and the government often overlap.

When asked about Juma Khan’s relationship with the CIA, a spokesman for the spy agency said the “CIA does not, as a rule, comment on matters pending before U.S. courts.” A DEA spokesman also declined to comment on his agency’s relationship with Juma Khan.

His New York lawyer, Steven Zissou, denied that Juma Khan had ever supported the Taliban or worked for the CIA. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which is handling Juma Khan’s prosecution, declined to comment.

However, defending the relationship, one U.S. official said, “You’re not going to get intelligence in a war zone from Ward Cleaver or Florence Nightingale.”

After surge and lull, violence flares anew KABUL, Afghanistan — Violence has flared in southern Afghanistan, disrupting a long period of relative quiet brought about by the arrival of large numbers of U.S. troops.

In the Sangin District of Helmand province, U.S. Marines who took over from British troops there are finding it hard going, with a heavier casualty rate in their first 90 days than the British suffered in more than three years there.

On Saturday, a roadside bomb killed 15 civilians elsewhere in the province. And in Kandahar City, the Taliban assassinated two key officials on Wednesday and Thursday and attempted to kill two policemen, according to Afghan officials.

Progress in Kandahar and Helmand provinces had been cited recently by the NATO commander, Gen. David Petraeus, and was expected to figure in a White House review

of the war due this week.

While the assassinations and bombings may turn out to be isolated incidents, the problems in Sangin — a restive region that the British troops had trouble subduing — have been more sustained.

The bombing in Helmand on Saturday occurred when a truck carrying civilians drove over a mine in the Khanashin District, close to the Pakistani border. In addition to the 15 people killed, four were seriously injured.

In Kandahar, where Taliban assassinations last summer were running as high as four a day, none had been reported in the last month and a half, according to local and military officials.

On Thursday, however, Noor Mohammed, the leader of the shura, or council, in the Zhare District, was killed as he headed home from a mosque, according to the district’s governor, Niaz Muhammad Sarhadi.

Leaders predict U.S. Congress will pass Obama tax-cut deal

By Brian Faler Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s tax-cut deal with Republicans will pass in Congress, budget leaders of both parties predicted, as they disagreed on whether the plan might be altered.

Republican Paul Ryan, who becomes House Budget Committee chairman in January, and Democrat Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said the plan will be sent

to Obama’s desk though Conrad said he hoped House Democrats would change estate tax provisions he considers too generous to the wealthy.

In interviews airing this weekend on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” both men said they expect Congress to pivot from tax-cutting to reducing the budget deficit early next year before a vote that will be required to raise the federal debt limit.

“There has got to be an agree-

ment to deal with our long-term debt challenge,” Conrad said he told Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and White House budget director Jack Lew during a meeting on Dec. 9. Otherwise, “extending the debt limit will not happen but for short periods of time,” the lawmaker said.

Ryan, of Wisconsin, said he plans to lead the Republican push to cut domestic spending by $100 billion early next year, before the debt-limit vote.

“The debt ceiling obviously is

going to have to be increased if we’re not going to default,” Ryan said. “So the question is, what do we get in exchange for that?”

“We want to bring spending back to something like pre-binge, pre-spending levels of 2008. So that means we want to go after a good $100 billion,” he said.

Conrad, of North Dakota, said efforts to cut the deficit are made more difficult by polls showing the public opposes many of the tax increases and spending cuts that would be needed.

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards and his children, Emma Claire, left, Jack and Cate leave the funeral service for Elizabeth Edwards on Saturday in Raleigh, N.C. Jim R. Bounds The Associated Press

Elizabeth Edwards lauded for wit, resolve The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — Family and friends of Elizabeth Edwards recalled her Saturday as an idealistic law student who challenged professors, a political sage who offered advice at every turn and a matriarch who comforted her family even as she was dying of breast cancer.

Edwards’ funeral drew hundreds to Edenton Street United Methodist Church, where she once mourned her 16-year-old son, Wade, after he died in a car crash in 1996. She was to be buried next to him during a private ceremony.

N. Korea says it’s war-ready; emissary sent to Russia The Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea warned Saturday that it is ready for an all-out war, even as it dispatched its top diplomat to Russia amid a flurry of regional diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions over the North’s deadly artillery attack on South Korea.

North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun left for Russia, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said in a one-sentence report. No details were given, but Pak accused South Korea and the United States on Friday of pursuing a policy of hostility and confrontation, and reiterated that North Korea needs its nuclear program to fend them off.

“We once again feel convinced that we have made the right choice in strengthening our defenses with the nuclear deterrent,” the Russian news agency Interfax quoted him as saying in an interview.

The North’s National Peace Committee also claimed that the U.S. and South Korea are pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula close to allout war.

“The army and people of the (North) are ready for both escalated war and an all-out war,” the committee said in a statement carried by KCNA. “They will deal merciless retaliatory blows at the provocateurs and aggressors and blow up their citadels and bases.”

The harsh rhetoric comes two days after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il met in Pyongyang with Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo.

Candidates reject recount in sloppy Haitian election

By Jonathan M. Katz The Associated Press

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Two top candidates in Haiti’s disputed presidential election are rejecting a proposed recount, threatening to torpedo a compromise aimed at quelling days of riots and violence over allegations the vote was rigged, their campaigns said Saturday.

The snub by No. 1 finisher Mirlande Manigat and by thirdplace Michel Martelly leaves the impoverished nation dangerously volatile, with much of the population rejecting the officially announced outcome of the Nov. 28 election and many willing to protest with violence.

Southern cities race to capture shipping bounty

By Kim Severson New York Times News Service

SAVANNAH, Ga. — Port officials here are racing to dig 6 feet of mud from the bottom of the Savannah River by 2014. In the world of major waterway expansions, that is an impossibly tight timeline.

Few can recall a civic project in Georgia that has had more unified support.

Without the $625 million deepening project, a breed of huge ships loaded with foreign-made iPods, furniture and other goods that will soon be able to traverse a newly widened Panama Canal will head elsewhere. And with them would go potentially billions of dollars in business.

Like Savannah, other East Coast ports from New York to Miami are scrambling like shoppers at a post-Thanksgiving door-buster sale, trying to become the go-to port once the canal is widened.

But the battle is especially fierce here in the South, where several ports are competing to become the region’s top destination for the superships. They hope to cash in on the biggest shift in the freight business since the 1950s, when oceangoing ships began carrying goods in uniform metal containers.

The Panama Canal, 48 miles of water that connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is undergoing a $5.25 billion expansion that is scheduled to be completed by

Aug. 15, 2014, 100 years to the day after it opened.

In what has long been considered a speed bump for major shipping companies, the canal is too small to accommodate a class of superships that came on the scene in the 1980s and went into heavy use a decade later when China became a powerful exporter.

Some of the big ships can carry three times as many containers as the industry average. The expansion, though it still will not allow the canal to accommodate the largest of the ships, will enable products made in Asia to be sent directly to the East Coast instead of being unloaded on the West Coast and then sent east by train or truck.

A result could be a shift in business worth billions of dollars to ports and big savings for companies like Ikea and Home Depot Inc., which are always on the hunt for more efficient ways to serve shoppers in the eastern third of the United States, where a majority of the population lives.

To capture some of the new traffic, almost every large East Coast port and those along the Gulf of Mexico have projects under way. Some ports that are too small to handle the giant ships are improving railroads and truck routes, making them more efficient in anticipation of an overall increase in the number of containers coming to the East.

Only the ruling party candidate, Jude Celestin, supports the electoral council’s offer to re-tabulate tally sheets from thousands of polling stations around the Caribbean nation.

Blockades and rock-throwing continued in a few areas, but violence had largely subsided in most parts of the capital by Saturday, and many people rushed to reopened markets to stock up on food, water, fuel and other supplies in fear that more protests could erupt again.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a potential U.S. presidential candidate, shrugged off a U.S. travel warning and arrived in the Haitian capital on Satur-

day, accompanying evangelist Franklin Graham on a visit expected to include cholera-treatment centers and other projects undertaken by his charity group.

Manigat, a law professor and former first lady, had 31 percent of the vote in the official preliminary count and is all but guaranteed a spot in a Jan. 16 runoff between the top two finishers.

She rejected the recount because the electoral council failed to propose clear procedures or a timetable, her campaign said in a statement issued Friday. She said she was open to other initiatives to settle the crisis.

competitor, and she was a public figure who won the private confidence of virtually everyone she met.

“There aren’t words that are good enough,” said daughter Cate Edwards, whose eulogy contained a passage from a letter her mother spent years preparing to leave to her children after she was gone.

“I’ve loved you in the best ways I’ve known how,” the letter said. “All I ever really needed was you, your love, your presence, to make my life complete.”

John Edwards, her estranged husband, did not speak. The couple had four children together. John Edwards sat alongside 28-year-old Cate, 12-year-old Emma Claire and 10-year-old Jack.

Climate change deal OK’d to help developing nations The Washington Post CANCUN, Mexico — Delegates from 193 nations agreed Saturday on a new global framework to help developing countries curb their carbon output and cope with the effects of climate change, but they postponed the harder question of how industrialized and major emerging economies will share the task of making deeper greenhouse gas emission cuts in the coming decade.

The package known as the Cancun Agreements has salvaged a U.N.-backed process that was close to failure, delivering a diplomatic victory to the talks’ Mexican hosts. But it also highlighted the obstacles that await as countries continue to grapple with climate change

through broad international negotiations.

After an all-night session that included a face-off between Mexican Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa and Bolivia’s U.N. ambassador, Pablo Solon, members of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to create a “Green Climate Fund” that will transfer money from rich countries to poor ones; research centers that will ease the transfer of cleanenergy technology; and a system in which developing nations can be compensated for keeping rain forests intact.

Eggs Continued from A1 It was not until July, well after the recent outbreak was under way, that the government’s first rules on safe egg production took effect.

Unlike other regulatory efforts, this one did not sputter under lobbying pressure by business. In fact, the $4.4 billion egg industry had been seeking mandatory rules for years, despite the red tape and extra costs. Consumer groups wanted the regulation, and public health experts supported it, along with economists who said the benefits would far outweigh the costs.

Government roadblocks

— Steve Roach, of Farm Animals Care Trust, which represented consumer groups in government briefings about egg safety rules say, ‘There’s still a lot of people getting sick.’ They’d just say, ‘Thank you for presenting.’”

Susan Dudley, administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at OMB from 2007 to 2009, said when it came to egg regulation, her agency was following a cost-benefit approach that had been embraced by every administration since Reagan.

Once an egg is broken and made into an “egg product,” responsibility for its safety switches back to the USDA. The USDA also oversees transportation of whole eggs, but the FDA dictates how they should be stored once they reach restaurants or stores.

Because salmonella wasn’t making chickens sick, the USDA initially decided not to intervene.

USDA inspectors are in packing facilities, but henhouses normally are the purview of the FDA. And the FDA rarely inspected henhouses.

The FDA has not routinely inspected egg farms because it has not established rules or standards, Deputy Commissioner Joshua Sharfstein said.

Over the past five years, the FDA has sent inspectors to just a handful of more than 4,000 egg farms in the country, according to agency records. In the case of one Ohio farm that recently detected salmonella in its henhouses and eggs, the only FDA inspection in the past five years took place in 2007, when inspectors visited the farm’s office and not its henhouses, according to an FDA inspection report.

Early in the salmonella crisis, the USDA and FDA initiated the first of several failed efforts to collaborate on a solution.

“The government dysfunction over the salmonella problem really started with the turf issues,” said Caroline Smith DuWaal, director of food safety at the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

Federal officials met with industry representatives, scientists and state public health officials and launched a consumer education campaign, stressing the safest ways to handle and prepare eggs. But the USDA and the FDA disagreed on the path forward and ended up working on separate strategies for handling eggs. Each deployed economists, scientists, lawyers and policymakers as the agencies shaped dueling proposals. Their rivalry to become the top agency for food safety was so intense, they refused to share their plans with each other until they were made public.

Despite formal agreements pledging to share information and work together, the FDA and the USDA were still not communicating as recently as this spring and summer.

From May to August this year, USDA officials did not pass along to the FDA concerns about sanitation problems that they had noted repeatedly in the packing houses at Wright County Egg, where they were grading eggs that were being packed in cartons. On daily reports, the egg graders noted dirty equipment, unsanitary cooler and storage areas, eggs left unrefrigerated overnight and the presence of bugs, among other deficiencies.

Philosophical issues Wright County Egg and the USDA noted that, in each case, the problems were corrected by farm employees in time for the day’s egg packing and grading.

“If anything rose to the level indicating that we were going to withdraw grading services, we would tell the FDA,” said Caleb Weaver, a USDA spokesman.

“But nothing rose to that level.”

But some of the eggs that the USDA graders were judging carried salmonella. The eggs were shipped by the thousands to retailers and restaurants across the country.

Bureaucratic infighting was one obstacle to egg regulation.

But another formidable barrier permeated the debate for years: a strong philosophical bias against government intrusion into kitchens, businesses and farms.

That was particularly true during the George W. Bush administration, when officials repeatedly expressed concern

that the rules could hurt small businesses and end up dictating how Americans should eat their eggs.

It took the FDA until 2004 to get proposed rules through the Department of Health and Human Services and to the Office of Management and Budget, which has final say over new regulations. There, the FDA faced a new set of old questions.

“Essentially, they said, ‘Show us how many people are sick, dying and hospitalized and show us your rule is worth the cost,’” said William Hubbard, associate FDA commissioner from 1991 to 2005.

The FDA thought it had a compelling case. The rules would cost farmers $82 million a year but could save $1.4 billion in medical costs and lost productivity by preventing 79,000 illnesses and 30 deaths a year. Still, OMB “didn’t think there were enough bodies in the street,” Hubbard said.

Several former FDA officials interviewed said senior officials in the Bush administration, still reeling from the terror attacks of 2001, were most concerned about the threat of bioterrorism and mass casualties. Eggs seemed almost quaint and certainly not urgent.

“We’d get blank stares,” said Steve Roach of Farm Animals Care Trust, which represented consumer groups in briefings with OMB. “We would go in and

Business concerns The fact that the egg industry was on board didn’t sway Dudley. “One needs to be skeptical when an industry seeks regulation because it often confers competitive advantage. It could be over other companies or over international firms,” she said.

“And it often raises costs, and it’s consumers who get hurt.”

She also said the White House was concerned that federal rules would devastate small farmers without substantially reducing illnesses.

In 2008, the United Egg Producers wrote to OMB, reiterating support for federal action and lobbying to shape any impending rules.

But later that year, the industry and others were surprised when the FDA suddenly withdrew the rule that it had proposed four years earlier.

David Acheson, former associate commissioner of foods at the FDA, said OMB officials insisted that the rules be reworked to prevent harm to small businesses that prepare food, such as nursing homes. The FDA already had included exemptions for small farmers.

“The feeling was: Take it off the fire altogether, fix it and then bring it back,” Acheson said. “It wasn’t going to fly under the current administration, which was a waning administration.”

Several months later, Obama

administration officials arrived at the FDA to find a package of egg regulations, endorsed by industry and consumer groups, awaiting action. The administration published the standards, which took effect in July.

This fall — armed with the new regulations and acting in the wake of the most recent outbreak — FDA inspectors began visiting the nation’s 600 biggest egg farms. Among the first farms were those with ties to Wright County Eggs, including Ohio Fresh Eggs.

Under the new rules, Ohio Fresh had tested and found Salmonella Enteriditis in a henhouse and in eggs. FDA inspectors reviewing the farm’s paperwork discovered that the company had mistakenly shipped nearly 300,000 eggs to Cal-Maine Eggs, the country’s largest egg producer and distributor, which recalled them Nov. 5.

In a statement, Ohio Fresh Eggs apologized for the mistake and said, “We are redoubling our efforts to ensure thorough and ongoing training of our workers so that this situation is not repeated.”

Despite the error, FDA officials were satisfied. The problem had been caught early. And no one became sick.

But even with the regulations in place, FDA officials said, after the outbreak this year, they recognized a problem of poor communication between agencies.

The FDA is now training USDA inspectors to spot food-safety problems and report them to the FDA. And officials have pledged yet again to try to bridge the gaps between agencies.

Derivatives Continued from A1 In theory, this group exists to safeguard the integrity of the multitrillion-dollar market. In practice, it also defends the dominance of the big banks.

The banks in this group, which is affiliated with a new derivatives clearinghouse, have fought to block other banks from entering the market, and they are also trying to thwart efforts to make full information on prices and fees freely available.

Banks’ influence over this market, and over clearinghouses like the one this select group advises, has costly implications for businesses large and small, like Dan Singer’s home heating-oil company in Westchester County, north of New York City.

This fall, many of Singer’s customers purchased fixed-rate plans to lock in winter heating oil at around $3 a gallon. While that price was above the prevailing $2.80 a gallon then, the contracts will protect homeowners if bitterly cold weather pushes the price even higher.

But Singer wonders if his company, Robison Oil, should be getting a better deal. He uses derivatives like swaps and options to create his fixed plans. But he has no idea how much lower his prices — or his customers’ prices — could be, he says, because banks don’t disclose fees associated with the derivatives.

“At the end of the day, I don’t know if I got a fair price, or what they’re charging me,” Singer said.

Derivatives shift risk from one party to another, and they offer many benefits, like enabling Singer to sell his fixed plans without having to bear all the risk that oil prices could suddenly rise. Derivatives are also big business on Wall Street. Banks collect many billions of dollars annually in undisclosed fees associated with these instruments — an amount that almost certainly would be lower if there were more competition and transparent prices.

Just how much derivatives trading costs ordinary Americans is uncertain. The size and reach of this market has grown rapidly over the past two decades. Pension funds today use derivatives to hedge investments. States and cities use them to try hold down borrowing costs. Airlines use them to secure steady fuel prices. Food companies use them to lock in prices of commodities like wheat or beef.

The marketplace as it functions now “adds up to higher costs to all Americans,” said Gary Gensler, the chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which regulates most derivatives.

More oversight of the banks in this market is needed, he said.

But big banks influence the rules governing derivatives through a variety of industry groups. The banks’ latest point of influence are clearinghouses like ICE Trust, which holds the monthly meetings with the nine bankers in New York.

Under the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul, many derivatives will be traded via such clearinghouses.

Gensler wants to lessen banks’ control over these new institutions.

But Republican lawmakers, many of whom received large campaign contributions from bankers who want to influence how the derivatives rules are written, say they plan to push back against much of the coming reform. On Thursday, the commission canceled a vote over a proposal to make prices more transparent, raising speculation that Gensler did not have enough support from his fellow commissioners.

The Department of Justice is looking into derivatives, too. The department’s antitrust unit is actively investigating “the possibility of anti-competitive practices in the credit derivatives clearing, trading and information services industries,” according to a department spokeswoman.

Indeed, the derivatives market today reminds some experts of the Nasdaq stock market in the 1990s.

Back then, the Justice Department discovered that Nasdaq market makers were secretly colluding to protect their own profits. Following that scandal, reforms and electronic trading systems cut Nasdaq stock trading costs to 1⁄20 of their former level — an enormous savings for investors.

“When you limit participation in the governance of an entity to a few like-minded institutions or individuals who have an interest in keeping competitors out, you have the potential for bad things to happen. It’s antitrust 101,” said Robert Litan, who helped oversee the Justice Department’s Nasdaq investigation as deputy assistant attorney general and is now a fellow at the Kauffman Foundation.

“The history of derivatives trading is it has grown up as a very concentrated industry, and old habits are hard to break.”

Dan Singer is the vice president of operations at a home heating-oil company and a derivatives customer north of New York City.

Established, but can’t get in The Bank of New York Mellon’s origins go back to 1784, when it was founded by Alexander Hamilton. Today, it provides administrative services on more than $23 trillion of institutional money.

Recently, the bank has been seeking to enter the inner circle of the derivatives market, but so far, it has been rebuffed.

Bank of New York officials say they have been thwarted by competitors who control important committees at the new clearinghouses, which were set up in the wake of the financial crisis.

Bank of New York Mellon has been trying to become a so-called clearing member since early this year. But three of the four main clearinghouses told the bank that its derivatives operation has too little capital, and thus potentially poses too much risk to the market.

The bank dismisses that explanation as absurd. “We are not a nobody,” said Sanjay Kannambadi, chief executive of BNY Mellon Clearing, a subsidiary created to get into the business. “But we don’t qualify. We certainly think that’s kind of crazy.”

The real reason the bank is being shut out, he said, is that rivals want to preserve their profit margins, and they are the ones who helped write the membership rules.

Kannambadi said Bank of New York’s clients asked it to enter the derivatives business because they believe they are being charged too much by big banks. Its entry could lower fees. Others that have yet to gain full entry to the derivatives trading club are the State Street Corp., and small brokerage firms like MF Global and Newedge.

Only the insiders know How did big banks come to have such influence that they can decide who can compete with them?

Ironically, this development grew in part out of worries during the height of the financial crisis in 2008. A major concern during the meltdown was that no one — not even government regulators — fully understood the size and interconnections of the derivatives market, especially the market in credit default swaps, which insure against defaults of companies or mortgages bonds. The panic led to the need to bail out the American International Group, for instance, which had CDS contracts with many large banks.

In the midst of the turmoil, regulators ordered banks to speed up plans — long in the making — to set up a clearinghouse to handle derivatives trading. The intent was to reduce risk and increase stability in the market. Two established exchanges that trade commodities and futures, ICE Trust, part of the InterContinentalExchange, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, set up clearinghouses, and, soon afterward, so did Nasdaq.

Each of these new clearinghouses had to persuade big banks to join their efforts, and they doled out membership on their risk committees, which is where trading rules are written, as an incentive.

None of the three clearinghouses would divulge the members of their risk committees when asked by a reporter. But two people with direct knowledge of ICE’s committee said the members are: Thomas Benison of JPMorgan Chase & Company; James Hill of Morgan Stanley; Athanassios Diplas of Deutsche Bank; Paul Hamill of UBS; Paul Mitrokostas of Barclays; Andy Hubbard of Credit Suisse; Oliver Frankel of Goldman Sachs; Ali Balali of Bank of America; and Biswarup

Chatterjee of Citigroup.

Through representatives, these bankers declined to discuss the committee or the derivatives market. Some of the representatives noted that the bankers have expertise that helps the clearinghouse.

Many of these same people hold influential positions at other clearinghouses, or on committees at the powerful International Swaps and Derivatives Association, which helps govern the market.

Perhaps no business in finance is as profitable today as derivatives. Not making loans. Not offering credit cards. Not advising on mergers and acquisitions. Not managing money for the wealthy.

The precise amount that banks make trading derivatives isn’t known, but there is anecdotal evidence of their profitability. Former bank traders who spoke on condition of anonymity because of confidentiality agreements with their former employers said their banks typically earned $25,000 for providing $25 million of insurance against the risk that a corporation might default on its debt via the swaps market. These traders turn over millions of dol-

lars in these trades every day, and credit default swaps are just one of many kinds of derivatives.

An electronic exchange?

Two years ago, Kenneth Griffin, owner of the giant hedge fund Citadel Group, which is based in Chicago, proposed open pricing for commonly traded derivatives, by quoting their prices electronically.

Citadel, which is based in Chicago, oversees $11 billion in assets, so saving even a few percentage points in costs on each trade can add up to tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

But Griffin’s proposal for an electronic exchange quickly ran into opposition, and what happened is a window into how banks have fiercely fought competition and open pricing.

To get a transparent exchange going, Citadel offered the use of its technological prowess for a joint venture with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which is best known as a trading outpost for contracts on commodities like coffee and cotton. The goal was to

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, December 12, 2010 A5 set up a clearinghouse as well as an electronic trading system that would display prices for credit-default swaps.

Big banks that handle most derivatives trades, including Citadel’s, didn’t like Citadel’s idea.

Electronic trading might connect customers directly with each other, cutting out the banks as middlemen.

The banks responded in the fall of 2008 by pairing with ICE, one of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s rivals, which was setting up its own clearinghouse.

So the banks attached a number of conditions on that partnership, which came in the form of a merger between ICE’s clearinghouse and a nascent clearinghouse that the banks were establishing. These conditions gave the banks significant power at ICE’s clearinghouse, according to two people with knowledge of the deal. For instance, the banks insisted that ICE install the chief executive of their effort as head of the joint effort. That executive, Dirk Pruis, left after about a year and now works at Goldman Sachs. Through a spokesman, he declined to comment.

The banks also refused to allow the deal with ICE to close until the clearinghouse’s rulebook was established, with provisions in the banks’ favor. Key among those were the membership rules, which required members to hold large amounts of capital in derivatives units, a condition that was prohibitive even for some large banks like the Bank of New York.

The banks also required ICE to provide market data exclusively to Markit, a little-known company that plays a pivotal role in derivatives. Backed by Goldman, JPMorgan and about a dozen other banks, Markit provides crucial information about derivatives, like prices.

Kevin Gould, who is president of Markit and was involved in the clearinghouse merger, said the banks were simply being prudent and wanted rules that protected the market and themselves.

“The one thing I know the banks are concerned about is their risk capital,” he said. “You really are going to get some comfort that the way the entity operates isn’t going to put you at undue risk.”

Even though the banks were working with their competitor, Citadel and the CME continued to move forward with their own exchange. They, too, needed to work with Markit, because it owns the rights to certain derivatives indexes. But Markit put them in a tough spot by basically insisting that every trade involve at least one bank, since the banks are the main parties that have licenses with Markit.

This demand from Markit effectively secured a permanent role for the big derivatives banks since Citadel and the CME could not move forward without Markit’s agreement. And so, essentially boxed in, they agreed to the terms, according to the two people with knowledge of the matter and Gould of Markit. (A CME spokesman said last week that the exchange did not cave to Markit’s terms.)

Still, even after that deal was complete, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange soon had second thoughts about working with Citadel and about introducing electronic screens at all. The CME backed out of the deal in mid-2009, ending Griffin’s dream of a new electronic trading system.

With Citadel out of the picture, the banks agreed to join the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s clearinghouse effort. The exchange set up a risk committee that, like ICE’s committee, was mainly populated by bankers.

A6 Sunday, December 12, 2010 • THE BULLETIN

Water Continued from A1 Nigg said this sedimentation can have major impacts on fish and fish habitat by muddying up spawning grounds and making it difficult for the fish to breathe. It can also affect insect and other invertebrate species that live in the creek that can be a food source for the fish.

“Sediment in any creek is a pollutant,” Nigg said.

‘This isn’t a new thing’ The city’s current surface water system has a long history of discharging silt and other debris into Tumalo Creek.

When the city first designed its Bridge Creek water system in the 1920s, it didn’t include any mechanism that allowed it to limit how much water came through its infrastructure. This means that every day the same amount of water is diverted through a nearly 10-mile-long pipeline as it makes its way to Bend, regardless of whether there is enough demand to use it all. City officials have also said that if this water wasn’t constantly rushing through this pipeline, it would likely collapse.

To handle the excess water, the city installed an overflow apparatus at its Outback Treatment Facility located about two miles up Skyliners Road. Outback is designed to collect and treat all the water from Bridge Creek before distributing it to town.

For decades, this overflow system would dump the excess water that came into Outback over a hillside next to the site that led down to Tumalo Creek.

This water would then cascade over a steep embankment, causing a significant amount of erosion as it made its way back into the stream, which is where it would have naturally flowed if the city hadn’t diverted it from Bridge Creek in the first place.

About 14 years ago, however, the city added some new infrastructure to its system to prevent this erosion from happening. This included putting in some culverts to take the excess water from the Outback Facility and convey it around the steep embankment. The water would then go through a piece of equipment that essentially slowed it down before making its way to Tumalo Creek.

While this worked to prevent turbidity in the creek, Heidi Lansdowne, the project manager for Bend’s Water Division, said it wasn’t fail-safe. At least a couple of times a year, she said, the culverts would become blocked with debris or, in some cases, beaver dams, resulting in overflows.

She said there were also instances where Bridge Creek water combined with excess well water that was being pumped at the Outback Facility to overwhelm the culverts, which were only designed to handle surface water.

“This isn’t a new thing,” Lansdowne said. “This has been going on for years.”

Lost in the shuffle Finding a fix to the overflow problem used to be at the top of her priority list, Lansdowne said, but with the upcoming surface water project and cuts in engineering staff, the momentum just sort of dissipated.

City employees were also supposed to check the overflow culvert as part of their daily rounds to make sure there weren’t any clogs in the system.

Lansdowne said the problem was that this monitoring was never formalized, and it sometimes was “overlooked.”

With the recent turbidity event and subsequent visit from

the DEQ, she said the city will try to bolster its monitoring of the overflow infrastructure.

This means city employees will check the Outback overflow system as part of their daily routine to make sure there isn’t anything clogging up the culverts or ditches.

“It’s back on the radar,” Lansdowne said. “We’re very on top of it, and we’re doing everything we can to mitigate the situation.”

In the Bend City Council’s approved $73 million upgrade to the city’s surface water system, which includes adding a new pipeline, a state-of-the-art treatment facility and a possible hydropower plant, Lansdowne said overflows should be rare. The city must overhaul its system to meet federal clean water mandates and replace its aging pipelines.

When this work is completed, Lansdowne said the new Bridge Creek intake infrastructure will have a valve at the top of the pipeline that will allow the city to only take as much water as it needs at any one time.

For instance, if the city only needs 5 million gallons a day, it will only take that 5 million gallons versus what happens today where the city takes about 11 million gallons, diverts it for about 10 miles, and then dumps an excess 6 million gallons out when it reaches the Outback Facility.

“When that new project gets up and operational, that overflow will be dry 99 percent of the time,” Lansdowne said.

“But we still have to have it in case of an emergency bypass.”

She added that as a part of the upcoming overhaul, the overflow system will also be improved in an effort to prevent future erosion and turbidity events.

Going forward Nigg said that after last week’s DEQ inspection he feels confident the city can solve its overflow problem in the near term with some simple operational changes. If not, he said, the DEQ will have to take another look at the issue.

Should overflows continue to increase sedimentation in Tumalo Creek, he said the DEQ might force the city to get a discharge permit through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program.

The program is meant to regulate discharges of pollutants into surface water. Municipalities along with other industries are required to get this permit if they are discharging anything into a body of water.

Nigg said a common example of a municipal project that would need a discharge permit is a wastewater treatment plant that dumps its treated effluent into a river.

The city likely wasn’t required to get a discharge permit for its surface water diversion project, he said, because it was simply taking clean water from one source, Bridge Creek, and depositing it into another source, Tumalo Creek.

“It isn’t one of those things that rises to that level of concern because it’s clean water,” he said.

Even if the city doesn’t need to get a discharge permit for its current overflow problem, Nigg said his agency might require one for the new Bridge Creek project. In the meantime, he said, the priority for the DEQ is to prevent the city from depositing any more sediment into Tumalo Creek.

“Our chief concern is trying to eliminate this discharge of turbid water,” Nigg said. “And we’re going to try to work closely with the city to do that.”

‘Anonymous’ attack Internet hackers used a software program dubbed “Low Orbit Ion Cannon” to jam the websites of Visa and others. Here’s how the attack was organized:

1 More than 1,000 users gathered in an Anonops.net chat room to plan their attack. mib_ch9vx9: what url are we attacking in 20 minutes? visa.com? hamalfndklf: right mr_pants: Chargin ma laser

2 Moments later, chat room member “Rafix” issued the attack command.

Continued from A1 Angry about what they saw as an infringement of Internet freedom, hacker activists also launched successful attacks Wednesday on websites for MasterCard, PayPal, Swiss bank PostFinance and the Swedish prosecutor leading the sexual assault case against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

The “hacktivists,” working under the banner of Operation Payback, are part of a new breed of online protesters who say they are ready to engage in acts of cyberdisobedience against major corporations, politicians and religious institutions, all in the name of defending their ideals.

But others argue these digital crusaders are more interested in using their skills to do damage than they are in making a political statement.

“What I’m seeing in my nerd brethren is an increasing combativeness, a loss of empathy and creepiness,” said Jaron Lanier, a critic of digital culture and a pioneering computer scientist who helped develop virtual reality. “It’s just another supremacy movement, ultimately. It just happens to be nerd supremacy.”

The membership of these groups is fluid, and tends to consist of unidentified Internet denizens, giving rise to the catchall name their members use: Anonymous.

The code name Rafix probably was created moments before the attack.

Their tactic of choice is the “distributed denial of service” attack, a kind of Internet blitz that comes when the attackers try to jam a company’s website by getting large numbers of computers to contact it at the same time, a bit like a group of pickets blocking the entrance to

a grocery store.

In the latest incidents, the attackers made use of a specially designed hacker weapon dubbed the “Low Orbit Ion Cannon” after a space laser in the “Star Wars” movies. The Cannon, actually a software program anyone could download, allowed the group’s leaders to take control of members’ computers in order to aim them, en masse, at target websites.

“Corrupt governments of the world,” began a recent message on the group’s YouTube site. “To move to censor content on the Internet based on your own prejudice is, at best, laughably impossible, at worst, morally reprehensible.”

Hacking has been around as long as the Internet, but has generally been the province of vandals, organized criminals or programmers simply flaunting their technical prowess, said Marc Cooper, a professor at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.

“This is the first time we’re really seeing a mass movement of cyber-sabotage with political overtones,” he said.

“Whatever the legality and morality, I think it has an undeniable Robin Hood type of resonance with lots of people.”

As is true of WikiLeaks, the members of Anonymous come from many countries, work in secret and often set their own rules, haranguing adversaries by barraging websites, breaking into email accounts and posting targets’ personal information on the Web.

Arrests, prosecution Law enforcement authorities say these attacks, which can cause severe disruption to businesses, can easily cross the line from demonstration to criminal action.

On Thursday, Dutch police ar-

rested a 16-year-old boy for participating in the attack against Visa as well as one against MasterCard. The boy confessed to participating in the assaults, according to a statement from the Netherlands’ national prosecutor.

Last month, 22-year-old David Kernell was sentenced to one year in prison for breaking into the personal e-mail account of thenvice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in 2008 and posting some of her e-mails online. Kernell had been allied with a message board called 4Chan that is a frequent gathering place for Anonymous agitators.

And last year, a New Jersey man pleaded guilty to having launched an attack against the Church of Scientology’s website in 2008.

In an online manifesto, Anonymous members quoted Electronic Frontier Foundation co-founder John Perry Barlow, who had sent out a tweet last week saying, “The first serious info war is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops.”

Reached by phone this week, Barlow said he was impressed by how quickly Anonymous had organized against its foes, but said he did not condone the attacks.

“I don’t think that if you’re trying to convey the right to know, the answer is to shut somebody up,” said Barlow, who is a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society.

To be sure, the group also encouraged people to promote Assange’s cause via Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, noting that “social networking sites are critical hubs of information distribution.”

But Anonymous’ Twitter and Facebook accounts were themselves suspended.

Facebook said the account owners were violating its terms of use by promoting the attacks.

OCUCAJE, Peru — Nestled between the Andes and the Pacific, the sparse desert surrounding this outpost in southern Peru looks like one of the world’s most desolate areas. Barren mountains rise from windswept valleys. Dust devils dance from one dune to the next.

But to the bone hunters who stalk the Ocucaje Desert each day, the punishing winds here have exposed a medley of life and evolution: a prehistoric graveyard where sea monsters came to rest 40 million years ago. These parched lands, once washed over by the sea, guard one of the most coveted troves of marine fossils known to paleontology.

Discoveries here include gigantic fossilized teeth from the legendary 50-foot shark called the megalodon, the bones of a huge penguin with surprisingly colorful feathers and the fossils of the Leviathan melvillei, a whale with teeth longer than those of the Tyrannosaurus rex, making it a contender for the largest predator ever to prowl the oceans.

“This is perhaps the best area in the world for marine mammals,” said Christian de Muizon, 58, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in Paris who led an expedition here in November. He ranks the Ocucaje (pronounced oh-coo-CAHheh) and adjacent sections of desert with top fossil areas like Liaoning province in China, where ashfall famously preserved plumed dinosaurs.

But beyond the boon to science, the discoveries here have attracted the attentions of another class of fossil hunters as well: smugglers. Officials in the capital, Lima, say seizures of illegally collected fossils are climbing.

Peru is astonishingly rich in archaeological and paleontological sites, so much so that the issue is part of a delicate politi-

The loss of national treasures to collectors from abroad has set off concerns about sovereignty, perhaps best exemplified by the feud between Peru and Yale University over Inca artifacts taken by Hiram Bingham, the American explorer typically credited with revealing the lost city of Machu Picchu to the outside world a century ago.

For now, the Ocucaje remains open to just about anyone who wants to search for fossils here.

Peruvian law, while vague, classifies fossils as national patrimony and requires fossils found in the country to remain in Peru, unless special permission is granted.

But enforcement and preservation here seem like a distant dream. The government controls the desert but leases parts to mining companies, which could damage or destroy fossils. Looters have ravaged archaeological burial sites on the desert’s fringes. The police rarely even enter the area.

Almost the only four-wheeled vehicles one sees traversing the desert are trucks carrying work-

ers who spend weeks on the coast collecting seaweed. They sell to dealers, who then export it to Asia.

“This desert is horrible,” said Yolanda Gutierrez, 35, a seaweed harvester. “The only things a person sees are dirt and rocks and bones.”

Assorted fossil hunters have their own visions of how the Ocucaje should be managed.

One prominent view comes from Roberto Penny Cabrera, 54, a former naval officer who says he is a descendant of Jeronimo Luis de Cabrera, the conquistador who founded the nearby city of Ica in 1563.

Penny Cabrera, who guides both backpackers and paleontologists into the Ocucaje, lives in his aristocratic family’s crumbling yellow mansion on Ica’s square.

“I am a patriot, a Peruvian, and where my foot steps that is patrimony,” he said, contending that some of the Ocucaje’s fossils should be left in the ground.

Another option, he said, would be to create a museum — not in Lima, much less Berlin or Paris — but in Ica.

Gilles Sabrie / New York Times News Service

Li Xudong, 25, left, is one of several recent college graduates working at an instant noodle company in Beijing, where his paltry salary is dependent on meeting sales quotas.

China’s army of graduates struggles

By Andrew Jacobs New York Times News Service

BEIJING — Liu Yang, a coal miner’s daughter, arrived in the capital this past summer with a freshly printed diploma from Datong University, $140 in her wallet and an air of invincibility.

Her first taste of reality came later the same day, as she lugged her bags through a ramshackle neighborhood, not far from the Olympic Village, where tens of thousands of other young strivers cram four to a room.

Unable to find a bed and unimpressed by the rabbit warren of slapdash buildings, Liu scowled as the smell of trash wafted up around her. “Beijing isn’t like this in the movies,” she said.

Often the first from their families to finish even high school, ambitious graduates like Liu are part of an unprecedented wave of young people all around China who were supposed to move the country’s labor-dependent economy toward a white-collar future.

In 1998, when Jiang Zemin, then the president, announced plans to bolster higher education, Chinese universities and colleges produced 830,000 graduates a year.

Last May, that number was more than 6 million and rising.

It is a remarkable achievement, yet for a government fixated on stability such figures are also a cause for concern. The economy, despite its robust growth, does not generate enough good professional jobs to absorb the influx of highly educated young adults.

And many of them bear the inflated expectations of their parents, who emptied their bank accounts to buy them the good life that a higher education is presumed to guarantee.

“College essentially provided them with nothing,” said Zhang Ming, a political scientist and vocal critic of China’s education system. “For many young graduates, it’s all about survival. If there was ever an economic crisis, they could be a source of instability.”

The central government, well aware of the risks of inequitable growth, has been trying to channel more development to inland provinces like Shanxi, Liu’s home province, where the dismantling of state-owned industries a decade ago left a string of anemic cities.

“Compared with Beijing, my hometown in Shanxi feels like it’s stuck in the 1950s,” said Li Xudong, 25, one of Liu’s classmates, whose father is a vegetable peddler. “If I stayed there, my life would be empty and depressing.”

A fellow Datong University graduate, Yuan Lei, threw the first wet blanket over the exuberance of Liu, Li and three friends not long after their July arrival in Beijing. Yuan had arrived several months earlier for an internship but was still jobless.

“If you’re not the son of an official or you don’t come from money, life is going to be bitter,” he told them over bowls of 90-cent noodles, their first meal in the capital.

Li and his friends settled for sales jobs with an instant noodle company. The starting salary, a low $180 a month, turned out to be partly contingent on meeting ambitious sales figures. Wearing purple golf shirts with the words “Lao Yun Pickled Vegetable Beef Noodles,” they worked 12-hour days, returning home after dark to a meal of instant noodles.

“This isn’t what I want to be doing, but at least I have a job,” said Li.

Continued from A1 In another case, the now former business manager of a clinic for low-income patients pleaded guilty to stealing more than $70,000. And detectives spent months investigating a Bend property management company owner believed to have embezzled more than $235,000 from her clients. No arrests have been made in the case.

Meanwhile, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office detectives have investigated a Bend solar contractor now facing dozens of charges, including racketeering, related to stealing more than $2 million from his clients over a four-year period — the county’s largestever fraud case.

The investigations Detective Pat Hartley of the Bend Police Department said most cases begin when someone in a business notices something unusual. As they look closer, one red flag usually turns up another.

“There are cases where we find a couple of thefts in ’09 and we start looking, and all of a sudden, there are some off numbers in ’08 and ’07 and ’06,” he said.

In the early stages of the investigation, police officers have to be part investigator, part accountant and part technology expert — and they must quickly master unfamiliar computer or accounting systems.

Bend Detective Don Jordan said things move fastest when business owners are able to get the investigators up to speed so they can start connecting the dots.

“The onus is on them to show us the fundamentals,” he said.

The amount of paperwork involved in many financial cases can be staggering. Evidence for one particularly complex case being investigated by Bend detectives — a half-dozen computers, several filing cabinets stuffed with documents and thousands of pages of papers stacked in boxes — takes up an entire room.

Gathering all of the evidence can take months. Detectives issue subpoenas for bank records and other files, but often have to wait for weeks at a time before they get a critical document.

And if there’s a new case involving a violent crime, the financial cases are often put on hold. Over the last several months, Bend’s seven detectives have been tied up with three homicide cases, among other serious crimes.

The detectives have spent about 2,500 hours investigating homicide cases this year and about 740 hours on aggravated theft cases, which involve thefts of at least $10,000.

When they have the time — and the money in the budget — local detectives attend training with other law enforcement agencies or people who specialize in investigating financial crime.

Lt. Erik Utter of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office said his agency recently signed on two accountants, who will volunteer alongside detectives on challenging cases.

Local prosecutors also rely on outside help. Deschutes County District Attorney Mike Dugan said his office is getting help on the racketeering case from forensic accountants from the National White Collar Crime Center, a project of the Department of Justice.

Financial scams Along with large-scale theft cases, local officials said they’ve seen a slight uptick in some other financial crimes.

Lt. Al LaChance of the Redmond Police Department said his detectives frequently get reports of people who fall victim to scams that turn up in e-mails and text messages.

One Redmond woman lost $50,000 in a scheme that

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

C OV ER S T ORY “There is a whole host of methods thieves are using to attack people through bank account information or by utilizing the Internet to gain access to information. Those are typically much more difficult to pursue and investigate.”

— Lt. Erik Utter, Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office

started in an Internet chat room for people with hearing disabilities, he said. The woman, who herself has hearing disabilities, started chatting with someone who said he was in Nigeria and needed some financial help. She made several wire transfers to the stranger.

LaChance estimates that his department handled a dozen cases this year in which someone lost money in a similar scam. Another 20 people reported scams, but didn’t turn over any cash.

Utter said the Sheriff’s Office frequently gets reports of identity theft. He said the cases can be particularly challenging because constant changes in technology enable thieves to get information in new ways all the time.

“There is a whole host of methods thieves are using to

attack people through bank account information or by utilizing the Internet to gain access to information,” he said. “Those are typically much more difficult to pursue and investigate.”

Officials from Bend, Redmond and Deschutes County said they’ve also handled several financial elder abuse cases. In many of those situations, the person assigned to handle the accounts of an elderly person uses the opportunity to take some money for him or herself — draining accounts meant to be used for housing or medical care.

Prosecution and prevention Whether it’s a multimilliondollar case or a clerk stealing money from the till, officials say most cases come down to a sim-

ple problem: Someone wasn’t paying attention, and somebody else was ready to take advantage of the situation.

Though cases involve repeat offenders, detectives say many are people without a prior record who suddenly got greedy.

“A lot of people go into a job wanting to do a good job,” Jordan said. “And then they see an opportunity.”

Often, the suspect takes some money out of an account, intending to replace it right away.

They do it a couple of times, and when no one notices, it becomes a pattern.

In some cases, detectives have discovered employees who have stolen money regularly for years with no one batting an eye.

When they are confronted with the evidence, however, most thieves don’t try to deny what they’ve done. Bend detectives said they’ve often seen suspects who seem relieved when officers show up to make an arrest; after months or years of trying to hide their thefts, they don’t have to keep up the act.

“Once you have the trail of evidence, they see the writing on the wall,” said Sgt. Brian Kindel.

Victims are also relieved when police are able to move forward with the case. But getting the case to court can also be a frustrating experience.

District Attorney Mike Dugan said Oregon law allows many people convicted of theft to avoid prison time until they’ve had multiple convictions. But if they go to prison, they are often unable to pay restitution, leaving victims and prosecutors with a dilemma.

“In many cases, it’s your fifth theft that you commit before you go to prison,” he said. “But even at that, is it the right thing to do if the person has any opportunity to pay restitution?

Most victims want their stuff.”

Detectives said they believe the key to reducing the number of financial cases comes down to people doing a better job paying attention to where their money is going — and asking questions when something seems suspicious.

“I think it’s going to require the victims of these crimes to be a little more diligent in their day-to-day life,” LaChance said.

The bill would have provided a one-time $250 payment to Social Security recipients.

Opponents said seniors didn’t need the extra payment, and that the $13 billion bill should have been paid for, rather than being added to the deficit.

WASHINGTON — As time ticked forward toward the end of the year, the U.S. Senate took symbolic votes on a handful of measures, most of which failed to advance. The Senate, however, seemed closer to passing a package of tax cuts than the U.S. House, where many liberal Democrats revolted against the plan crafted by President Barack Obama and Republican leaders.

Through raffles, a silent auction, pictures with Santa and the $10-per-competitor arm-wrestling tournament, it also collected nearly $3,000 to be distributed to various Central Oregon charities.

Organizer Dennis Smith said members of his club and the Bend Elks will spend hours traveling around Central Oregon on Christmas Eve, delivering toys and food baskets to needy families.

New plans include areas designated for volleyball, tennis, disc golf

By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

The latest master plan for Bend’s Pine Nursery Community Park includes places for volleyball, tennis, disc golf and remote-control car racing, but nothing, officials with the Bend Park & Recreation District say, is set in stone.

On Wednesday, the park district’s board of directors approved the latest draft of the plan for the 160-acre park in the city’s northeast corner,

the first revision since the original master plan was adopted in 2006.

Since then, the park district has built soccer and softball fields, paved biking and walking paths, a fishing pond and an off-leash dog area at the park, but the majority of the former U.S. Forest Service tree farm is still undeveloped.

At Wednesday’s meeting, a handful of local residents raised objections to one element of the plan, a proposal to slightly reduce the acre-

age dedicated to the off-leash dog area. If the park were to be completed as proposed in the master plan, portions of the current dog park would be displaced by a new pond, tennis courts and a small parking area.

Bruce Ronning, the district’s director of planning and development, said it’s understandable those who use the dog park would be nervous about changes. The district created the dog park in a cor-

ner of the park that had been designated as a natural area under the original master plan, he said, and its current layout came about primarily because it was easy for the district to connect some old fencing left behind by the Forest Service.

“The district never intended that would be the final configuration of the dog site, but the dog users have been using it, and have developed some ownership of it,” he said.

Michael Bremont, director of the Redmond Proficiency Academy, is hoping to open two charter schools in Wyoming modeled on the RPA, a move that, if successful, would almost double the number of charters in that state.

RPA is a high school that runs on a proficiency model. That means the school’s 350 students do not attend class on a traditional schedule, and pass a class only when they have proved proficiency in the subject.

Personalized Learning Inc., the organization behind RPA, was rebuffed in efforts to open a charter in the TigardTualatin School District. Personalized Learning has appealed and expects a decision by the Oregon State Board of Education by early next year.

Oregon’s environmental agency has stepped back from its previous support of Deschutes County, in an ongoing lawsuit brought by residents seeking to overturn a county groundwater ordinance.

For two years, the Department of Environmental Quality defended the ordinance, after intervening on the county’s behalf. But on Tuesday, a Deschutes County Circuit Court judge granted the agency’s motion to withdraw.

The Department of Environmental Quality suggested in a court filing it will continue to support Deschutes County, but it will no longer share in the county’s defense of the groundwater ordinance.

Deschutes County officials said Friday they were mystified by the state agency’s decision. Officials at the Department of Environmental Quality could not be reached for comment on Friday.

Redmond standoff ends peacefully A five-hour standoff between police and an armed woman in Redmond ended without incident Saturday evening.

Shortly after noon, Redmond Police were sent to an apartment building at 724 N.W. Fourth St. on reports of a woman looking to harm herself and a hostage. Upon arrival, officers observed the woman displaying multiple knives, and learned of another woman being held against her will inside the building.

Fourth Street was blocked off, four nearby apartments were evacuated, and police were able to remove the hostage and take her to safety after a short time. The Central Oregon Emergency Response Team was called in to assist, and police were eventually able to take the armed woman into custody.

Police have not identified the individuals involved in the incident, but said in a news release that the armed woman was taken to St. Charles Bend

Pine Nursery Continued from B1 Park district development manager Norm Ziesmer, who drew up the latest master plan incorporating suggestions from a series of public meetings during the summer, said the resistance to changes in the dog park area illustrates the potential hazards of inadequate planning — now that the off-leash area has become established, the rest of the park has to be designed around it.

The latest plan is more cautious in identifying a site for a disc golf course, Ziesmer said, selecting an area atop a ridge that is largely unsuitable for ballfields or other more intensive uses. “Whenever you put something in, it’s extremely difficult to take it away, unless it becomes unpopular,� Ziesmer said. “But generally, when you

Warm Springs woman hurt in DUII accident A 19-year-old Warm Springs woman was hurt early Saturday when a vehicle rolled over her while she attempted to push it up a hill.

Bend Police say Nina Rimer, 19, of Bend, was driving at approximately 2:37 p.m. when her car stopped running near the Franklin Avenue underpass.

Rimer’s passenger, Penny A. Danzuka, 19, of Warm Springs, got out of the car and tried to push it uphill, but it rolled over her when Rimer put the car in neutral. Danzuka was stuck under the car when police arrived on the scene.

Rimer was found to be intoxicated, and was arrested and jailed for DUII and reckless endangering. Danzuka was taken to St. Charles Bend for treatment of nonlife-threatening injuries.

Due to the heavy use of the off-leash area, the park district has scheduled a meeting in January to entertain suggestions about how it should be developed in the future.

Funding will dictate how quickly the various components of the master plan are built, although disc golf enthusiasts have approached the district about providing funds and labor to construct a course, Ziesmer said, and may be given permission to proceed next year.

Completion of Phase 1 is the district’s top priority at the park, Ronning said, and is planned to include two softball fields, two soccer fields, field lighting, a picnic shelter and restroom facilities.

CORVALLIS — No stranger to scuffles with the law, Cody Crawford’s latest troubles began the day after a firebomb destroyed an office in a Corvallis mosque, and FBI agents and local police raided his home.

Authorities were investigating the arson-caused fire at the Islamic center where the teen accused in the Portland bomb plot once worshipped, and they had found a flashlight after the Nov. 28 fire. Crawford, 24, said it looked like his.

Police and the FBI took DNA samples and seized computers, digital camera equipment, a gas can and a lighter from his house, and sent the evidence off to be examined.

Authorities won’t say whether they have identified a suspect in the arson, and they won’t talk about Crawford, but court documents show they’re interested in him.

In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Crawford said he’s “100 percent innocent,� that he’s a peaceful person and does not dislike Muslims. “They’re all just normal people.

We are all people,� said Crawford.

Checkered past If he’s peaceful now, he hasn’t always been. He was frequently in trouble with the law — accused in years past of assault, breaking a window when he was in jail, and throwing a cup of urine at a deputy, among other offenses.

But Crawford told AP he’s changed. He’d been excelling in community college and was released from probation two weeks before an FBI agent knocked on his door. He said he agreed to be interviewed to show that he is being unfairly targeted by police.

Neighbors and classmates describe Crawford as a sweet young man who loves school and is eager to be a good dad to his 4-year-old boy. He was chairman of the parents’ council of the Corvallis Head Start program and recently did some work with Habitat for Humanity. “He’s always answering questions, and he’s always on the top

Cody Crawford, shown Thursday in Corvallis, says he’s being unfairly targeted for the Nov. 28 arson-caused fire at a Corvallis mosque. of his game,� said Alan Turner, a classmate at the local community college.

But even Crawford’s relatives have expressed worry about his past behavior. After he was thrown into a county jail last year, his sister told a sheriff’s deputy he was “delusional,� that he “had not been himself lately,� and he had even said he worked with the CIA, according to a sheriff’s office report.

The fire at the mosque burned an administrator’s office.

The FBI and Corvallis police hunted for clues from neighbors.

Their interest was piqued when Crawford volunteered that a small flashlight had disappeared from his porch. His description resembled one they’d found at the crime scene.

Authorities showed Crawford a picture of the flashlight. He said it looked like his. At 1:10 a.m., police and FBI agents arrived to raid the home where Crawford lives with his son, his 21-year-old sister and their 56-year-old mother.

Crawford told AP he’s now uncertain the flashlight authorities found is even his. In the picture, it had a black stripe that didn’t look familiar, he said.

The raid came a year and a half after Crawford was arrested for jaywalking while drunk, and for spitting and throwing urine on jail guards. “I was just out of it,� he said. “I’d never wish that on anyone, what I went through.�

A day before his arrest last June, he’d returned to Oregon for the first time after spending six years in Panama, falling in love with a local woman and having a son.

He said the relationship had devolved, and he’d developed a chemical dependence on alcohol.

Crawford started getting into trouble long before last year’s jaywalking arrest, and his problems with alcohol go back years.

In 2003, his mother persuaded a judge to send her 16-year-old son to a camp for troubled youths in Costa Rica. He’d been busted for burglary, criminal trespassing, dealing drugs and other crimes, according to accounts published in the McMinnville News Register.

‘Katzenjammer Kids’ comic strip debuts in 1897 The Associated Press Today is Sunday, Dec. 12, the 346th day of 2010. There are 19 days left in the year.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Dec. 12, 2000, a divided U.S. Supreme Court made Republican George W. Bush president-elect over Democrat Al Gore as the justices reversed a state court decision for recounts in Florida’s contested election. (The high court agreed 7-2 to overturn the order for a state recount and voted 5-4 that there was no acceptable procedure by which a timely new recount could take place.)

ON THIS DATE In 1787, Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

In 1870, Joseph H. Rainey of South Carolina became the first black lawmaker sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives.

In 1897, “The Katzenjammer Kids,� the pioneering comic strip created by Rudolph Dirks, made its debut in the New York Journal.

In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt nominated Oscar Straus to be Secretary of Commerce and Labor; Straus became the first Jewish Cabinet member.

In 1917, Father Edward Flanagan founded Boys Town outside Omaha, Neb. In 1925, the first motel — the Motel Inn — opened in San Luis Obispo, Calif.

T O D AY I N H I S T O R Y In 1937, Japanese aircraft sank the U.S. gunboat Panay on China’s Yangtze River. (Japan apologized, and paid $2.2 million in reparations.)

In 1963, Kenya gained its independence from Britain.

In 1985, 248 American soldiers and eight crew members were killed when an Arrow Air charter crashed after takeoff from Gander, Newfoundland.

TEN YEARS AGO The Marine Corps grounded all eight of its high-tech MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft following a fiery crash in North Carolina that killed four Marines. (The Osprey program was revived by the Pentagon in 2005.) General Motors announced it would phase out its Oldsmobile division. Actor George Montgomery died in Rancho Mirage, Calif., at age 84.

FIVE YEARS AGO California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to block the imminent execution of Stanley Tookie Williams, rejecting the notion that the founder of the murderous Crips gang had atoned for his crimes and found redemption on death row. During an impromptu question-andanswer session before the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, President George W. Bush estimated 30,000 Iraqis had died in the war.

ONE YEAR AGO Houston became the largest U.S. city to elect an openly gay mayor, with voters handing a solid victory to City Controller Annise Parker after a hotly contested runoff with former city attorney Gene Locke. Rescue crews found the body of a climber on Oregon’s Mount Hood while two others remained missing. (The bodies of the other two climbers were found in August 2010.)

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “To escape criticism — do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.� — Elbert Hubbard American author and publisher (1856-1915)

Being ‘railroaded’ Federal authorities refused to discuss the ongoing investigation into the mosque burning or Crawford. But court documents that were filed to justify the search of his home show authorities have an intense interest in him.

Crawford is silent when asked to describe the night the mosque burned. That will come out as the legal process evolves, he said.

He’s being “railroaded,� he said, because he’s different. “Just because somebody has had struggles in their life ... just because you might be a little awkward or strange, does not make you a bad person,� he said. “It’s how you pick yourself up and continue with life that counts.�

O O B Helicopter co-pilot disputes crash report MEDFORD — A helicopter copilot who survived a crash that killed nine people during takeoff from a wildfire staging area two years ago has disputed a federal report blaming the weight of the aircraft and lack of oversight.

William “Bill” Coultas, of Cave Junction, says the National Transportation Safety Board ignored his written and oral testimony that loss of power in an engine caused the crash of the Sikorsky helicopter, the Mail Tribune reported.

“I was speechless — I could not believe what I was hearing,” he said after the NTSB report was released Tuesday. “I was there. I had the best seat in the house. I knew what happened.”

Coultas, 46, is still recovering from severe burns suffered in the August 2008 crash in Northern California that also killed pilot Roark Schwanenberg, of Lostine.

Both Coultas and the Schwanenberg family have sued engine manufacturer General Electric, as well as Sikorsky and a maintenance company, Columbia Helicopters, citing engine failure, among other things.

They say the NTSB investigators were responsible for losing engine fuel control parts that would have backed up the copilot’s testimony.

State board opposes UO’s autonomy pitch PORTLAND — The State Board of Higher Education is opposing the University of Oregon’s plan to seek more autonomy and a separate governing board.

The Oregonian reports that next month a private organization will be lobbying for the university’s autonomy during the legislative session.

But state board president Paul Kelly says the board does not want UO making its pitch while the board seeks more independence for all seven universities in the state system.

Body found on coast ID’d as Portland man’s

SEATTLE — A wet Pacific storm dumped heavy rain across the Pacific Northwest, soaking parts of southwest Washington and threatening to trigger landslides and flood Portland suburbs and small towns along three rivers.

Mudslides on Saturday forced officials to cancel Amtrak Cascades train service between Se-

attle and Portland through Monday, the Washington State Department of Transportation said.

Weather forecasters said the Chehalis, Snohomish and Snoqualmie rivers were expected to flood by today or Monday as rainstorms dump more than half a foot of water in a 24-hour period.

Portland officials were concerned about the 26-mile-long Johnson Creek, which is a flood-

prone watershed that flows through low and heavily populated areas, including part of southeast Portland and the suburb of Gresham. The tributary empties into the Willamette River in suburban Milwaukie, about six miles south of downtown Portland.

Officials said residents in those flood-prone areas should be prepared to leave. Anyone who wanted to sandbag was invited to bring a shovel to one of

four city stockpiles where both sand and bags were free.

In southwest Washington, the Chehalis River near Grand Mound was expected to reach major flood levels this afternoon and was forecast to crest at about 18 feet on Monday morning, said National Weather Service meteorologist Kirby Cook in Seattle.

The Snohomish River was expected to follow a similar path, cresting at major flood stage

around 19 feet on Monday near Snohomish and Monroe. The Snoqualmie River was expected to crest today in Carnation.

Officials were also closely watching the Skagit River in Skagit County.

Cook said flooding will likely be widespread as creeks and ponds are overloaded with runoff.

“We’re looking at the wettest storm system we’ve had in almost two years,” Cook said.

MEDFORD — Jackson County is expanding its jail and moving the sheriff to a new headquarters building in Medford.

Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters told the Mail Tribune the expansion will increase jail capacity to 290 prisoners, making early releases less likely.

Winters said he releases about 10 to 15 prisoners early each week, down from more than 100 several years ago.

The sheriff’s new headquarters will include administration, the patrol division, and most of the search and rescue unit, currently stationed in White City.

The project is expected to cost up to $14 million.

YACHATS — When a sea lion came ashore and tried to scoot down U.S. Highway 101 along the Oregon Coast, state troopers quickly caught up and escorted it home.

The State Police said the sea lion apparently arrived at a state wayside park south of Yachats on Saturday and wandered along the highway, sometimes in traffic, for about half a mile.

Troopers and workers from the local fire and rescue unit used batons and plastic boards designed to keep patients immobile as they flanked the sea lion and guided it along the side of highway.

PORTLAND — Faced with a surge of gang-related violence, the largest city in Oregon has approved what a national mayors group says is an innovative law designed to reduce the carnage in gun crime “hot spots.”

The law tells people with a conviction for illegal gun possession or use on their record that, once they are put on notice by the police chief, they can’t be on the streets or in the parks in three exclusion zones where gun violence and violations have been exceptionally high.

The exclusion zones are part of a package of gun ordinances recently passed by the City Council. They could face challenges from either gun rights or civil liberties activists, or both.

African-American leaders say they’re worried the new laws will be used for racial profiling and harassment.

Among the exclusion zones is much of downtown Portland, including the Old Town entertainment district where a teenager was gunned down outside a nightclub in September.

Less than an hour after leaving the funeral service for the teenage victim of that killing, a 19-year-old was wounded in a drive-by gang shooting — a piece of the retaliatory gunplay that has characterized gang activity in Portland.

Exclusion zones targeting wrongdoers from specific areas aren’t a new idea. Portland has used them in areas rife with prostitution and drugs.

But excluding those with gun convictions from areas where gun violence is common is new, according to Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition set up by Mayors Michael Bloomberg of New York and Thomas Menino of Boston.

The group focuses on the misuse of guns — explicitly “protecting the rights of Americans to own guns” — and spreading what it calls best practices against illegal gun use in American cities.

At 88, Keizer resident a new businesswoman

By Jillian Daley (Salem) Statesman-Journal

SALEM — An 88-year-old Keizer woman has launched her own business.

Marge Bowder began running Keizer Postcards out of her home about a year ago, but her husband of 63 years died Oct. 28, 2009. She took time to grieve.

This fall she has begun again, keeping her postcards Keizer-centric with pictures of local hot spots.

“I’m writing a story — the story of Keizer,” Bowder said.

She’s got the business experience and sense of community to get the business humming.

She and her husband, once owners of Climate Control Glass, won the Merchant of the Year honor in 1979. She co-founded Keizer Art Association in 1977 and is president of another nonprofit group, Keizer Community Services Center, which supports the senior citizen community.

She volunteered for Keizer Junior Miss for years, persuading merchants to donate.

Bowder’s not focused on any of that: “I put everything away from the past and live in the present.”

She also gives all of the credit away for her past successes and the rising interest in her new business.

Jillian Daley / (Salem) Statesman Journal

Marge Bowder sits in her Keizer home on Nov. 24. Bowder, 88, runs her own business, Keizer Postcards, and has been honored as Merchant of the Year.

“I’m writing a story — the story of Keizer.”

— Marge Bowder, 88, who started Keizer Postcards out of her home all the Keizer community involved,” Bowder said.

She does have a lot of people behind her. Her daughter, Jacqueline Lusk, and her friend, Bonnie Dunn, have been shooting photos for the postcards.

“For her to do all this stuff and all the things she remembers at her age, it’s really remarkable,” Dunn said.

Bowder is under the mentorship of a former city councilman, Jerry McGee. He offers advice on everything from what to put on the postcards to how to market them. He also sold a few of the 50-cent postcards for her while he was marketing his books at a recent holiday bazaar.

LazerQuick printed her first postcard — of the Thomas Dove Keizur statue — for free. Her nine grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren support her, one of them setting up her business’ Facebook page.

Her spirit is why she is successful and liked, said Meals on Wheels volunteer Bill Howell.

“She’s my favorite on the route,” Howell said. “I’ll go in, and we’ll speak for 10 to 15 minutes. She’s got a dy-

namic personality. It’s just fun to visit with her. She’s got all kinds of good ideas.”

She’s got a list of ideas for her next batch of postcards: Keizer Heritage Community Center, Keizer Rotary Amphitheater and Miracle of Christmas lights display in the Gubser neighborhood.

She cannot wait to get started.

“The first one was the hardest,” she said. “I can make another in a wink.”

Content with her Facebook page and word-of-mouth networking, Bowder isn’t planning on opening a storefront.

Living through the Depression taught her to be frugal.

Moving to Keizer in 1947, she raised her two children with her husband.

She occupies the three-bedroom modest home today that her family moved into in 1957.

Her work station is her kitchen table or snuggled in her favorite armchair with papers in her lap, surrounded by shelves full of family pictures and books such as “Treasure Island” and the Merck Manual.

She smiles often, especially when surrounded by family and friends.

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 11, 1910 SCHOOL AFFAIRS In November 1900, there were six children between the ages of 4 and 20 years in the Bend school district — Fred, Sylvester and Prince Staats and Marion, Pauline and Margaret Wiest. The school census for 1908 showed 208, after which the Richardson district was taken away, so that only 177 were shown by the census of 1909. For this year the census just completed shows 211 children between 4 and 20 years, residents in the district Nov. 25.

THE COLUMBIA BRIDGE The Oregon Trunk Railway bridge across the Columbia River is being built half a mile down from Celilo station on the O. R. & N. and just below the Tumwater falls. It will be nearly 4,000 feet in length and about 90 feet above low water of the Columbia. There will be 29 piers with three abutments and because of the rocks on which the piers are built, there will be no underwater work. The longest span will be 320 feet. The second span from the south approach is where the O. R. & N. road passes under the bridge. There is to be a 250-foot drawbridge across the government canal.

It is expected that the bridge will be ready in a year and a half from now.

NEW DITCH WORK The Central Oregon Irrigation Company has a camp of 45 men constructing laterals eight miles east of Bend. There are 18 teams working now, and the number will increased to 20. The company is arranging to organize two more similar camps, one in Redmond, the other in the Powell Butte district.

Six bridges have already been completed on the Bear Creek road over the company’s laterals.

Thomas Laugon has a crew of engineers in the field setting the corners on each government legal subdivision, or 40-acre tract.

The quarter-section corners were set some five years ago.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 11, 1935 BEND PIONEER DIES IN NIGHT Mrs. Hugh O’Kane, resident of Bend for 31 years, died last night at St. Charles hospital following an acute illness of about 14 hours.

Mrs. O’Kane is survived by her sister, Mrs. J.J. Hogan, of Bend; and a niece, Miss Lorene Wright, of Portland. Mrs. W.M. Maxey, of Bend, is a cousin. Her husband died Feb. 16, 1930.

Mrs. O’Kane came to Bend with her husband in 1904 from Grangeville, Idaho. They oper-

Y E S T E R D AY ated the O’Kane hotel in Bend for many years.

Mrs. O’Kane, who had lived alone at her home, 232 Georgia, since her husband’s death, was 65 years old at the time of her death.

ONE-PUNCH BATTLE IS STAGED IN HOLLYWOOD Another of Hollywood’s bloodless battles, this time between Spencer Tracy, actor, and director William Wellman, ended in a draw — as usual — with participants claiming they were pals and shaking hands.

The bout followed the onepunch tradition of the film colony, each taking a sock at the other as they stood in the center of an exclusive cocktail room.

Bandying of an actress’ name in the tap room was reported to have caused the melee.

Witnesses at ringside tables reported Wellman uttered a flippant remark about the actress.

Tracy put down his glass, unfolded his long legs from the couch where he had been sitting and let fly with a long right to the Wellman midriff.

In approved Hollywood manner, bystanders allowed Wellman to land his right on Tracy’s ear before separating the growling contestants.

Tracy then waited for his opponent to make a move. Wellman smiled and extended his hand in a token of apology and friendship. The actor accepted the handshake.

Reached after the fight, Tracy said, “we had a misunderstanding and others made a fight out of it.” “It was nothing serious, merely a misunderstanding,” Wellman said.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 11, 1960 NIKITA COULDN’T — BUT DEFECTOR SEES DISNEYLAND A Soviet sailor who defected to the United States from Nikita Khrushev’s, has accomplished what the Russian leader couldn’t — a red carpet visit to Disneyland.

Viktor Jaanimets, 29, escaped from the Soviet liner Baltika in New York last October because, he said, his travels had shown him what the Free World was really like.

After a Los Angeles press conference Friday, he did what most visitors to Southern California get around to doing sooner or later — took a trip to the worldfamous amusement park.

Khrushev, however, did not go during his visit here in September of 1959. Almost every week since, he has bemoaned the fact, saying that he wasn’t permitted to do so.

As early as the day following

his departure for San Francisco, the Soviet premier expressed disappointment for “not getting close to the American people and visiting Disneyland.”

Local officials were quick to point out that the Russian leader had not been denied access to the park. The reason he didn’t go, they said, was the Soviet secret police ruled out the trip a month before his visit because of security problems.

HISTORIAN HAS FIRSTHAND INFORMATION Our thanks to Claude Kelley, president of the Deschutes Pioneers Association.

Recently, with the aid of his own vivid memory and old files of The Bend Bulletin, he dug up information about an event that should be considered historical

by Bend Senior High students.

It was Bend’s first football game, played in the late fall of 1910, just a half century ago. The account of that game, as pieced together after 50 years, appeared in The Bulletin last Saturday.

Historian Kelley’s recollection of the trip to Prineville, in a school bus of horse-and-buggy day vintage, emphasizes for present residents of the area the manner in which Central Oregon’s transportation pattern has changed.

It took two full days for the Bend football squad of 1910 to make the round trip to Prineville. The route was across the “desert” of those days, through the junipers for a midday stop and lunch at Powell Butte and on to Prineville as darkness came to the Crooked River valley.

Claude Kelley’s information about that game is a valuable contribution to the pioneer history of the area. His recollections were vivid, his descriptions of experiences were good, his sidelights were filled with humor. But this should be expected.

Claude Kelley was one of the Bend players.

(Note to Readers: The final score was 0 to 0. Story next week.)

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Dec. 11, 1985 GINGERBREAD IN SEASON When Hansel and Gretel averted starvation by nibbling on the bad witch’s gingerbread house, they didn’t know that one day that fictional cottage in the forest would be the inspiration for a favorite edible Christmas decoration.

Building these fairy-tale fantasies of real gingerbread — put together with a special meringue frosting — has become big business.

Liz Norris, owner-manager with her husband, Walt, of the Madras coast-to-coast store, not only sells the equipment to make gingerbread houses, she offers classes to help the beginner off to a good start.

But, she cautioned recently, “It isn’t something you learn overnight. It takes practice and practice and practice.”

Basic instructions for a gingerbread house start with rolling out the special dough to fit the pattern. After the dough is baked, patience is the next necessary ingredient — a wait of 48 hours for the cake to become dry.

Then comes the tricky part: “nailing” the house together with a fast-drying frosting of powdered sugar, water and meringue powder.

Finishing touches can be a matter of imagination: candies, cookies — whatever strikes your fancy to indicate doors and windows or to produce other special eye-catching effects.

“That’s where the creative talent of people comes out,” Norris said.

A gingerbread house makes an attractive holiday gift or centerpiece, she said, adding, “And last, but not least, you can eat it.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — For 95-year-old Hazel Severson, the decision was straightforward. The book didn’t belong to her, so she needed to return it.

“It was the library’s book,” she said. “I wanted to get it back to them.”

So what if the book — “Seaplane Solo,” Sir Francis Chichester’s autobiographical account of his 1930 solo flight across the Tasman Sea — was 74 years overdue from the public library in Amador County, Calif.? To Severson, returning the book was the right thing to do, period.

With the help of her longtime South Land Park, Calif., neighbors, Jim and Laurie Gibson, she turned the book over to Amador County librarian Laura Einstadter on Oct. 13.

She even offered to pay an overdue fee of $2,701, or 10 cents a day, which the library refused to accept.

“I don’t want people to think we’d make her pay,” said Einstadter. “We were happy to have the book back. It’s lovely that she and the neighbors cared enough.”

Hazel Severson became a minor celebrity at the Merrill Gardens at Greenhaven assisted living facility, where she’s lived since May 2008. She likes the attention, this lively, blue-

eyed woman with a cap of white curls and a quick sense of humor.

Her late husband, Howard Severson, a Sacramento businessman and longtime aviator who died in 2006, checked “Seaplane Solo” out of the Amador County library in 1936.

He was 24 at the time, and he and Hazel Navlet, his Sacramento High School sweetheart, had only recently eloped to Carson City, Nev. They kept the marriage secret from their families for six months, until he could leave the used-car lot in Amador City where he was working and move to Sacramento to be with his bride.

The first edition hardcover was forgotten until early 2010, when Laurie Gibson found it as she was packing up Hazel’s belongings for a garage sale. Jim Gibson wrote to the Amador County librarian, telling her of the book’s discovery and offering to pay a late fine. (The library accepted a small donation instead.)

“I just thought it was a great story,” he said. “And it’s a connection for Hazel with Howard.”

It was also a chance to do what’s right. “I thought the library should have their book back,” said Severson. “It made me feel good to do that for Howard.”

Jazz legend James Moody dies James Moody, an exuberant presence in jazz for more than six decades whose improvised version of “I’m in the Mood for Love” became a surprise hit in the 1950s and launched a form of music called vocalese, died Dec. 9 at a hospice in San Diego of pancreatic cancer. He was 85.

Moody, whose primary instrument was the tenor saxophone, began a long association with trumpeter and bandleader Dizzy Gillespie in 1946 and was part of the vanguard of musicians who created a new, complex style of jazz known as bebop.

By October 1949, Moody had moved to Europe and was in Stockholm to make an album.

When the producer asked for a final tune to complete the record,

Boy Scout exec Christofero dies

By Susan Gilmore The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — One day during World War II, Lodovico S. “Loody” Christofero was flying his B-17 over Seattle.

He called his mother, who lived downtown, and told her he would fly over her house very low. She stood outside, waving a huge white dish towel as her son flew his plane just above her house.

“I know how proud my grandmother was,” said Christofero’s daughter, Carol ChristoferoSnider. “I can just see that picture of that house in Seattle and my father able to fly very low in a big plane, and my grandmother waving this white dish towel as proud as she could be.”

Christofero, a longtime Boy Scout executive and Air Force veteran of two wars, died Dec. 2 at the Kline Galland Home in Seattle. He was 93.

Born in Seattle to Italian immigrant parents, Christofero graduated from Ballard High School and attended the Seattle School of Business.

He became an Eagle Scout and was a youth leader in a Ballard troop, leading treks in the Olympics, and he worked as a staff member at Camp Parsons, one of the oldest Boy Scout camps in the country. The swim beach there is named in his honor.

Charter Continued from B1 That setback, though, has not significantly slowed Bremont’s expansion plans.

He has an application with the Salem-Keizer School District, where he hopes to open a proficiency charter in the 2011-12 school year. If all goes well, the two proposed Wyoming charters — in Casper and Cheyenne — would open by the following school year.

Personalized Learning considered expansion into several states — from Hawaii to New Jersey — but decided on Wyoming because of a recent shift there in support for charter schools, Bremont said. The state’s new superintendent of education, for instance, campaigned on expanding charter schools in the state — where there are now just three.

By comparison, Oregon has about 100 charter schools.

“Wyoming is the one that really jumped out,” Bremont said. “(Wyoming) is working to make changes, and I think people in high positions would like to see a change.”

School officials in Casper and Cheyenne did not return calls for comment.

One of the people hoping for more charter schools in Wyoming is Kari Cline, executive director of the Wyoming Association of Public Charter Schools.

Cline’s nonprofit group tries to help groups like Personalized Learning navigate the application process in Wyoming,

DEQ Continued from B1 The lawsuit began in 2008.

Southern Deschutes County resident Darlene Sunni Rounds and fellow members of the Citizens Action Group filed the lawsuit asking a Deschutes County Circuit Court judge to determine whether the County Commission overstepped its authority when it adopted an ordinance requiring nitratereducing septic systems for all new homes in south county.

The ordinance also requires the nitrate-reducing systems when an existing system fails.

The county ordinance is aimed at protecting the southern county’s shallow aquifer from groundwater pollution by septic systems. High levels of nitrates were first detected in La Pine in 1982. Scientists believe nitrates from conventional septic systems in the area are seeping into the groundwater.

Members of the Citizens Action Group were surprised to hear Friday that the environmental agency had withdrawn.

Tom Bradler, president of the group, said he had not heard the news.

Robert Ray, a member of the group, said Friday he was surprised but glad that the state agency had withdrawn from its defense of the lawsuit.

Ray is also a member of the committee formed by DEQ to find solutions to groundwater pollution.

“I still think that there are areas down here that have a problem and need to be addressed,” Ray said. But he added that not all areas of southern Deschutes County need the cleaner, more expensive septic

which, like Oregon, requires a local school district to sponsor a charter. In Oregon, there are some exceptions under which the state can sponsor a charter.

Wyoming’s charter movement is nascent, though, and getting a charter approval can be difficult, Cline said. In her organization’s four years, fewer than five charter applications have even been attempted. Three, not including Personalized Learning’s, are currently in the application process, she said.

“What I told him was, ‘I hope the difficult political atmosphere doesn’t scare you away,’” Cline said. “They can be encouraged that things are changing this year.”

One of the largest challenges for anyone trying to open a Wyoming charter school is convincing districts and their residents of a potential benefit, according to Cline.

“There is still a very large seg-

systems, and the county’s ordinance also does not provide an option for sewer systems.

Few clues to agency’s decision to withdraw The agency’s motion to withdraw from the lawsuit gave little clues as to why it was doing so.

“As time has passed and the issues in this case have evolved and become more clarified, the Department of Environmental Quality’s (“DEQ”) views and interests in this case have narrowed since the filing of its Motion to Intervene in 2008,” according to a court document the agency filed in early December.

Commissioner Alan Unger noted that the agency still plans to support the county, by amicus.

“But not in an active role, in a supportive role,” Unger said. “It’s curious that the DEQ takes the actions that they do, and sometimes you just wonder why.”

Deschutes County Commissioner Tammy Baney also said the DEQ had not informed her why the agency withdrew, although she added in an e-mail, “It is in line with the inconsistent messages we receive from DEQ almost daily. We work as agents of the state, and it would be nice to have clear direction from them on many issues related to the ground water situation in south Deschutes County so that we can move forward in unison.”

Deschutes County Commissioner Dennis Luke declined to comment Friday.

Hillary Borrud can be reached at 541-617-7829 or at hborrud@bendbulletin.com.

ment of people who live in Wyoming of all spectrums who do not know what a charter school is,” Cline said. “They don’t know what they are or what they aren’t.

There hasn’t been an overwhelmingly broad knowledge they’re even available. We’re working very hard to really try to educate people.”

Bremont was already aware that the state has barely a handful of charter schools when he decided on the push there, but he believes the charter applications will be successful. He has already met with representatives from both school districts and came away optimistic.

Still, as his experience in Tigard-Tualatin has showed, nothing is certain.

“We’ll shoot for both and see what happens,” Bremont said.

GRAND Ice age floods give east-central Washington’s Coulee Corridor a fascinating character

By John Gottberg Anderson For The Bulletin COULEE DAM, Wash. —

O

ne of the most intriguing areas of the Pacific Northwest is, curiously, one of its least traveled.

Washington’s Coulee Corridor — a 100-mile passage across the east-central part of the state, between the Columbia River and the farming center of Othello — passes through a fascinating geological region named for its principal feature, the Grand Coulee.

A coulee is a deep, seasonally dry gulch with sloping sides. But Grand Coulee is not just a ravine.

More than 40 miles long, it contains a series of stunning lakes as well as caverns, a unique mineral-rich lake and the remnants of a waterfall that some believe was the largest that has ever existed.

At the start of the Ice Age, around 18,000 years ago, a series of great floods carved this landscape. An ice dam at northern Idaho’s modern Lake Pend Oreille gave way, releasing the waters of glacial Lake Missoula.

Larger than lakes Erie and Ontario combined, the deep inland sea covered a good part of what is today western Montana. Then the water gushed out.

According to literature published by the Ice Age Floods Institute, based at the Columbia River Exhibition of History, Science & Technology in the Tri-Cities, this is what happened: “Resembling science fiction more than reality, this towering mass of water and ice, over 2,000 feet deep near the ice dam, suddenly burst forth. It literally shook the earth as it thundered across the Columbia Basin, moving at speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. ...

From High Desert to Himalayas Central Oregon nonprofit supports health, housing, education in Nepal

By David Jasper The Bulletin

About seven years ago, Central Oregonians Mark LaMont and Rand Runco spent a summer in Nepal.

They liked it so much they formed a nonprofit and return every year to the small, landlocked country nestled in the Himalayas and bordered by China and India.

“Rand and I have been to Nepal together six or seven times,” explains LaMont, who teaches at Sisters Elementary School. “We traditionally go in the summer during the school holiday, because we’re both teachers.” Runco teaches at Sisters High School.

Around that time, LaMont,

If you go What: Himalayan Holiday When: 4 to 8 p.m. today Where: Aspen Hall, 18920 N.W. Shevlin Park Road, Bend Cost: Free Contact: 541-480-3114 or www.tenfriends.org

43, of Bend, and Runco, 44, of Tumalo, formed Ten Friends, named for themselves and the eight friends who accompanied them on the trip that subsequently enriched many lives — their own and those of the Nepalese villagers Ten Friends has helped.

Ladies of the Elks Receive tax deduction collecting holiday gifts for vehicle donation Bend’s Ladies of the Elks is trying to collect Christmas gifts for more than 500 children this year and hopes the community can help.

The organization, the auxiliary of Bend Elks Lodge 1371, has erected holiday houses at locations throughout Bend and is asking people to take a tag from the house and buy a gift for a child. Donors may drop off their presents, unwrapped, at any holiday house.

The gifts will be included in more than 200 food baskets put together by the Bend Elks Lodge, to be delivered Christmas Eve morning.

The holiday houses can be found in Bend at Fred Meyer, 61535 S. Highway 97; C.E. Lovejoys, 19530 Amber Meadow Drive; Walmart, 20120 Pinebrook Blvd.; Erickson’s Thriftway, 725 N.E. Greenwood Ave.; and Wagner Mall, 1900 N.E. Third St. Contact: 541-771-2522.

NeighborImpact, a Central Oregon nonprofit organization offering an array of services, is asking residents to donate unwanted vehicles, boats and RVs by the end of December to receive a 2010 tax deduction.

The organization accepts vehicles both working and not, and will pick them up at no cost to the donor.

NeighborImpact provides the paperwork donors need to claim the deduction.

The IRS allows a tax deduction for the fair market value of a vehicle. An IRS guide to vehicle donations is available at www .irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/pub4303.pdf.

Proceeds from the vehicle sales will go toward NeighborImpact programs, which include help with food, shelter and child care.

Girls hold books provided to their school last year in Hung Gung, Nepal, by the nonprofit Ten Friends, based in Central Oregon.

In its early stages, Ten Friends focused on delivering medical supplies and stretchers to remote Himalayan locales so any villagers suffering injuries or illness could be transported for medical care.

Today, Ten Friends will continue to give back to the people of Nepal by hosting Himalayan Holiday, an event taking place from 4 to 8 p.m. at Aspen Hall in Bend (see “If you go”).

Adopted as a baby, man thanks unknown mom Dear Abby: I would like to say something to my mother, but the truth is I don’t know who my biological mother is. I was adopted when I was a baby. I have looked for her online over the years, but have yet to find her. I have asked myself many times what I’d say to her if I met her. Because I know it may never happen, I’m asking you to print my message: “Mama, I don’t know the circumstances of my birth, and I don’t really care. All I know is that two loving parents adopted me and helped to shape me into the person I am. Today I am a successful professional with a loving spouse and wonderful children, to whom I try to give the best. I imagine that is what you wanted to do for me. Therefore, I have decided that I don’t really need to find you and say, ‘Thank you.

You made a good choice. I am doing fine and I love you.’ ” — Her Thankful Son Dear Thankful Son: I hope one day your birth mother will be fortunate enough to meet you and you can say those words to her in person. One of the most difficult decisions a mother can make, but one of the most loving, is to place a child up for adoption when she is unable to provide a stable upbringing for her baby.

Most birth mothers long for a reunion. And for them, as well as for you, I am printing your letter.

Dear Abby: I am a semi-retired professional. My wife and I have an ongoing disagreement and would like the benefit of your wisdom. I was raised that when a man enters a house or place of business, especially a restaurant, he should remove his hat. It annoys me to see young men sit in a restaurant wearing baseball caps, cowboy hats or even stocking caps.

My wife says times have changed — recent generations were not raised the same way and I should just get over it. I say there is no right or wrong age for common etiquette. I can overlook this behavior in a fast-food restau-

DEAR ABBY rant, but I also see it happening in nice establishments. I believe that restaurant managers should ask men to remove their hats. If they refuse, at least they will have been told it is unacceptable behavior.

Should I follow my wife’s advice, or do I have a valid gripe?

— Tony in Florida Dear Tony: Some restaurants still insist that their patrons adhere to a strict dress code — but fewer of them do than in decades past. In recent years, the rigid rules regarding the wearing of hats have relaxed — in part, I suspect, because of aging baby boomers who use baseball caps to camouflage their bald spots.

However, according to Emily Post, you do have a valid gripe.

She says there are times when wearing a hat is appropriate, and times when it isn’t. According to her, a man should remove his hat (and this includes baseball caps) upon entering a home, when indoors at work (especially in an office), at mealtime at the table, in restaurants and coffee shops, at a movie or indoor performance, when the national anthem is played, and when the American flag passes by, as in a parade.

Dear Abby: Before she died last May, my wife ordered Christmas cards with both of our names printed on them. Should I send those cards, Abby? It would comfort me to still have our names linked together.

— Widowed in Arkansas Dear Widowed: If it brings you comfort, send them. And if you are questioned about it, tell the person the reason why.

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

By Hank Stuever The Washington Post

Christmas is watched on television at least as much as it is actually lived, if not more.

The star in the East? That warm light in the heart? It’s high-def, beamed in, DVR’d. A pine-and-spice-scented candle can work its sensory magic, and the chestnuts are supposed to be roasting by an open fire, but pretty soon you have to face facts: The candle is a Glade PlugIn; the fireplace is controlled by a light switch; and the TV is on again, where Christmas always looks more like itself.

What do we do when we at last come together? We watch TV. To some, this sounds tragic.

Shouldn’t we be gathered around the piano instead of the Wii? Shouldn’t the TV be off while we enjoy one another’s company?

Shouldn’t we, instead of watching football games and the umpteenth encore of “A Christmas Story,” be walking the cobblestone streets of our snowy neighborhoods, singing carols to our neighbors?

All that Christmas idealism is sustained by television. Everything we know about how Christmas should appear and feel, we learned from watching Christmas happen on TV to people who don’t exist. Have a look at the pretty, pretty trees in all those living rooms and in all those diamond necklace ads and in Hallmark specials. What’s the one thing missing from these people’s homes?

Correct: No TVs are on. The people we see on television at Christmastime have chosen to put their tree up in a formal living room, safely away from the television. You know them as well as you know your own family. He went to Jared! We bought you a Lexus with a giant red bow on it!

And Peter’s made it home, just in time for Christmas morning, and he’s brewed a fresh pot of Folgers to rouse us from our slumber!

In fact, the people having those wonderful holidays on TV don’t need TVs. It’s as if they know how badly we need to watch what they’re doing (and how they’re doing it, and how happy they are), but they are fine without watching us. Only Best Buy and other home electronics purveyors would ever dream up commercials in which familial bliss is achieved with bigger and better TVs. Which summons a real debate in some households. Should the tree actually be near the television? Or should it be erected safely away from all the secular distraction and crass commercialism that TV represents?

I happen to think the Christmas tree and the TV set should coexist almost as one, within feet of each other, so that you may look at both. It’s more honest that way.

The soothing blinking of the tree and the frantic flickering of a TV screen somehow form a visual duet, and create the true light of the modern American Christmas.

“Grandfather Cuts Loose the Ponies,” a 200-foot-long sculpture by artist David Govedare, is located a couple of miles above the Vantage Bridge and is best seen from I-90.

A collection of colorful whirligigs by folk artist Emil Gerhke crowns Bicentennial Park in the heart of Grand Coulee. Gerhke fashioned more than 600 of the small windmills from cast-off iron and plastic.

Coulee Continued from C1 “The rate of flow was 10 times the combined flow of all the rivers in the world. Over a period of about 2,500 years, the cycle was repeated many times: the glacial ice would block the valley, the lake would form, and the ice dam would fail, releasing another cataclysmic flood.”

When the floods ceased, the glaciers took over, completing the scouring job. The Grand Coulee filled with sediment to more than 600 feet deep, yet it was framed by walls that rose a quarter-mile above the coulee floor.

Grand Coulee Dam But that was then. Today, one of the world’s greatest engineering marvels stands at the head of the Grand Coulee.

The Grand Coulee Dam is the largest hydroelectric dam in the United States, built with enough concrete to circle the globe at the equator in a 12-foot strip. It is 500 feet wide at its base and 550 feet high, as tall as the Washington Monument, according to information provided by its visitor center.

Constructed between 1933 and 1942 by Depression-era laborers employed by the Bureau of Reclamation, the dam created serpentine, 151-mile-long Franklin D. Roosevelt Lake. Today the dam generates more than 2 billion kilowatts of power each year while irrigating 670,000 acres of Inland Empire farmland and serving an important floodcontrol function.

Although the visitor center, located on Washington State Highway 155 just north of the dam, is open year-round, summer is the best season to visit. From Memorial Day weekend through September, half-hour laser light shows of patriotic images are projected on the wall of the dam each night. And between May 1 and mid-November, one-hour tours are offered between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., four to eight times a day.

Public tours begin at the visitors center, where exhibits focus on history and geology. There are models of the dam and its turbines, and an interactive virtualreality game that enables players to fly through the dam on a plasma screen. A small theater shows movies about the Columbia River and the Lake Missoula flood.

Shuttle buses travel to the east side of Grand Coulee Dam for tours of the Third Powerhouse, where security is understandably tight. Built in the 1960s and expanded in the 1980s, it is the size of five football fields placed goalpost to goalpost. Visitors ride a glass elevator down 400 feet to view America’s largest hydroelectric generators, then tour the inner workings and travel by van across the top of the dam.

Facing the dam in the little town of Coulee Dam, beside an amphitheater with seating to view the laser show, a Richard Beyer sculpture (“After Work”) pays tribute to the men who built the Grand Coulee Dam. Not more than a block away, the Colville Tribal Museum displays artifacts and modern crafts from the 12 confederated tribes who live on the massive Colville Indian Reservation. The town of Coulee Dam is on the border of the reservation.

The reservation — with its headquarters in Nespelem, 15 miles north — covers 2,300 square miles of forested mountains and fertile grazing land. Its most notable site is the Nespelem grave of Chief Joseph (18401904), the great Nez Perce leader who was exiled here in 1877.

Mud-caked bathers relax on a boulder in Soap Lake, a unique, mineral-rich lake named for its sudsy foam and oily qualities.

Ascribed with healing qualities, the waters contain 23 minerals, more than in any other lake on Earth.

From Grand Coulee, the company town on the south (upper) side of the dam, a two-mile road climbs to an impressive viewpoint at Crown Point Park. The community’s Bicentennial Park, however, attracts as much or more attention for its colorful windmills. The legacy of local resident Emil Gerhke, this triangular-shaped park on Highway 155 exhibits many of the 600plus whirligigs that Gerhke made from cast-off iron and plastic.

Banks Lake to Dry Falls It was the proximity of the Grand Coulee itself — several hundred feet higher than the adjacent Columbia River because the main channel was blocked by ice at the time of the great floods — that convinced engineers to build the dam where they did.

The once-dry coulee is now filled by Banks Lake, a 30-milelong reservoir. Pumps lift water 280 feet up a hillside to fill the lake, which is blocked at its south end by the Dry Falls Dam. Canals, siphons and more dams make it the heart of a major irrigation distribution network.

The former sageland is now a haven for wildlife and a huge draw for hunters, fishermen and boating enthusiasts. The best place to experience the lake is at Steamboat Rock State Park, a prominent steppe that rises in the heart of the lake country a few miles south of Electric City.

The cliffs that frame Banks Lake come to an end at Coulee City. But south of this small town, there’s another, even more memorable precipice.

The Dry Falls were the most impressive sight I viewed on my Coulee Corridor drive, even more so than Grand Coulee Dam. An escarpment 3½ miles long, with cliffs 400 feet high, this feature was once many times larger than Niagara Falls. When water flowed over this rock face — between 18,000 and 12,000 years ago — it was the greatest waterfall the world has ever seen. So say the experts from the Ice Age Floods Institute.

Niagara is 1 mile wide and has a drop of 165 feet. Africa’s Victoria Falls are a little over a mile wide with a drop of 354 feet. South America’s Iguazu Falls extend over 1.7 miles with a maximum drop of 269 feet.

Dry Falls, created by the first great flood from glacial Lake Missoula, was far larger than any of them.

All that remain today are the severely eroded cliffs themselves and some small lakes at their foot. But one’s imagination can run wild from the viewpoint at the Dry Falls Interpretive Center, a “must” stop beside State Highway 17.

Just below the clifftop facility, a paved road leads into Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park, encompassing several small lakes at the foot of the ancient cliffs.

Open from March through October, the 4,000-acre park has a campground, boat rentals and 15 miles of hiking trails.

A short distance further south is Lake Lenore, best known for the caves in the cliff walls on its east bank. Seven of the Lake Lenore Caves may be reached by a seasonally maintained trail; explorers may find many more off the beaten track. Another legacy of the ice ages, they were used for habitat and storage by Indian tribes, anthropologists say.

Soap Lake to Othello I didn’t know the meaning of the word “meromictic” until I stopped at Soap Lake, 23 miles south of Coulee City. It describes the qualities of this mineral-rich lake, the only one in the Pacific Northwest with water layers that don’t intermix. Twenty-three elements — including sodium bicarbonates, sulfate, potassium and chloride — give this lake a more diverse mineral content than any other body of water on Earth, according to the Soap Lake Conservancy.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, December 12, 2010 C5

Once the world’s greatest waterfall, Washington’s Dry Falls is now an escarpment 3½ miles long with cliffs 400 feet high. During the ice ages, vast amounts of water rushed over this face; today, only a few small lakes remain at its foot.

From previous page I was surprised to see bathers caking themselves with dark mud scooped from the lake bed as they waded offshore. But I learned that even rival Native American tribes camped side by side when they “took the waters” before pioneer settlement began around the turn of the 20th century. And today, more than 100 years later, local innkeepers report a large number of European visitors who favorably compare the Soap Lake experience with the spas of the Black Sea. Named for its “slick” water and the sudsy appearance of a natural foam that washes up on the shore, Soap Lake is as intriguing to scientists as it is to health-seekers. Its waters contain icthyol, an oily residue sold over the counter in Europe to treat infections and abrasions. It is believed to come from brinelike shrimp that flourish in the lake in June and July. What’s more, it has a buoyancy similar to that of the Dead Sea, and an alkaline level that scientists compare to the moons of Jupiter, leading to speculation about the nature of life on other planets.

Visitors return to Earth at Ephrata, a bustling farming center 6 miles southwest of Soap Lake. The highlight of this town is the Grant County Historical Museum and Village. With 36 buildings on four acres, the recreated pioneer village, open May through September, offers glimpses into 19th-century life with homesteads, a schoolhouse, a church, doctor’s and dentist’s offices, a saloon, a jail and other structures.

The largest town in Grant County, and the seat of regional government, is Moses Lake. Located 20 miles southeast of Ephrata, where Highway 17 crosses Interstate 90, Moses Lake is a pleasant little city of 18,000 people. Nestled in a natural freshwater lake with numerous parks around its shores, the town has a small museum with displays of native artifacts, historic photographs and contemporary art.

The town’s leading attraction may be Grant County International Airport, which is indeed international. A longtime testing and training facility for Boeing Co., it boasts one of the longest runways west of the Mississippi River. More than 350 foreign and domestic airlines have trained their flight crews here, including Japan Airlines for four decades.

Othello, 25 miles from Moses Lake, is the heart of Washington’s breadbasket. Wheat and potatoes are just two of more

A wall of basalt columns in Frenchman Coulee, near George, draws rock climbers to this little-known valley, marked on few maps.

An impressive waterfall cascades from a facing northern wall. than 60 crops farmed in the area; roadside placards identify each field by the crop growing there.

A point of interest is The Old Hotel and Art Gallery, built in 1911 to serve railroad crews, now a visitors center that displays the work of local artisans.

The biggest week of the year in Othello falls in late March, when its annual Sandhill Crane Festival is celebrated. Large numbers of these migratory birds pass through the nearby Columbia National Wildlife Refuge in spring and fall. Birding and geology tours are highlights of the festival. More than 200 species of birds are seen in the refuge each year, including more than 150,000 migrating waterfowl.

Gorge, Gingko Park The drive northeast from Bend to the Grand Coulee Dam is 313 miles one-way and takes at least eight hours. When I visited last month, I used the Tri-Cities area of Washington, 4½ hours from Bend, as a fulcrum for my trip. I spent my first night in Richland; traveled north via Moses Lake to Coulee Dam, where I spent my second night; then branched

south on my third-day return to Richland, visiting the Columbia Gorge area near Vantage.

The return route, which took me southwest from Ephrata rather than southeast toward Moses Lake, led me first to The Gorge Amphitheater. Music lovers from all over the Northwest travel to this 20,000-seat, open-air venue during the summer for concerts featuring many of the greatest acts performing today. In 2010, Tom Petty, Keith Urban, Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson and others played before the spectacular backdrop of the central Columbia River Gorge.

A detour off I-90 onto Silica Road, with a subsequent turn onto the Old Vantage Highway, leads into a little-known and unmarked valley called Frenchman Coulee. Rock climbers are drawn to a heavily eroded wall of basalt columns; an impressive waterfall, unnamed on maps, cascades from a northern wall. A narrow paved road runs several miles to a dead end at the Columbia River.

On the northeast side of the interstate, overlooking the Vantage Bridge, a group sculpture of 15 wild horses races across the top of a bluff. This is “Grandfather

Cuts Loose the Ponies,” by artist David Govedare.

Just across the Vantage Bridge, barely a mile off I-90, is the Gingko Petrified Forest State Park, which preserves one of the world’s most unusual fossil forests. More than 200 species of trees, including the prehistoric gingko, have been identified in this park; samples of many are exhibited at an interpretive center.

Millions of years ago, trees from mountainous areas were swept downriver, where they became waterlogged and sank.

After lava flows preserved them in a natural state, silica in the groundwater seeped in, perfectly replacing the cell structure of the wood. Near the end of the last ice age, erosion began to expose the petrified logs.

A couple of short trails from a ranger station, two miles up the old road to Ellensburg from Vantage, lead to several identifiable species of petrified tree stumps in deep wells, protected from vandalism by barred windows.

From Vantage, the road back to the Tri-Cities offers several more touring options. There’s the Wanapum Heritage Center at the Wanapum Dam, a half-dozen miles south; the Wahluke Slope farming district east of Mattawa, noted for its wine-grape production; and the Hanford Reach National Monument, a buffer of harsh prairie the largely surrounds the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Site.

Quinn — Martin Erin Quinn and David Martin were married Nov. 27 at Black Butte Ranch. A reception followed.

The bride is the daughter of Kathryn Phillips and Robert Penson, both of Bend. She is a 2001 graduate of Bend High School and a 2005 graduate of the University of Oregon, where she studied public relations and

business. She works as managing director of Destination Advisors.

The groom is the son of Bob and Jan Martin, of Prineville. He is a 1999 graduate of Sisters High School, attended Western Oregon University and served in the U.S. Army. He works for Kirby Nagelhout Construction.

The couple will honeymoon in the Greek Isles.

They will settle in Bend.

“I really look forward to coming up to Michigan to hunt every year,� said Ted, who actually goes by Varas and not Voutsaras. He changed his last name when he went into the Army in World War II because he says a lot of Americans found Voutsaras too hard to pronounce.

Varas said “as soon as I get back to Florida after a hunting trip, I’m already thinking about going hunting again next year.�

Spiros Voutsaras, who lives near his dad in East Lansing, said, “We’ve never taken five bucks before. Four other guys who bow hunt near us said they hunted for five days straight and didn’t see one horn. But we stay in our blinds all day; we glass the fields, and my dad and my uncle are incredible shots.�

That was illustrated when Varas sighted-in the slug shotgun he had borrowed for the season. The first shot at 100

SWF, 41, seeks nice Jewish family

By Ron Grossman Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — For the $70 the ad cost her, Tamar Garibay got only one reply, and she’s not sure what to make of it.

The ad ran last month between “Help Wanted� and “Legal Notices� in the classified section of the Chicago Jewish News. Under the heading “Adult Adoption,� it described the 41-year-old woman’s battle with loneliness. “I want a family,� it read.

Garibay wasn’t looking for help with her medical or financial woes, though she’s got plenty of each. She just wanted to join others around their Shabbat dinner table.

In retrospect, she can see why people might be put off by an adult “looking to be ‘adopted’ by a Jewish family,� as her ad was worded. “Do I seem weird?� she

asked a rare visitor to her apartment in Chicago’s Rogers Park.

She didn’t give that impression to Jaime Engelhart, the classified ad manager at Chicago Jewish News. “I really wanted to hug her,� Engelhart recalled.

Garibay’s submission was letter-perfect, and Englehart guessed she must be an educated person.

As she is. Garibay graduated from Mother McAuley Liberal Arts High School on the Far Southwest Side, and got a bachelor’s degree in economics and finance at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where she remained for a master’s in urban planning.

On her nightstand is a copy of “Fabulous Small Jews,� a book of short stories about love and loss in Rogers Park.

As her hallway door opened, a puppy barked suspiciously and backed off.

“She’s not used to seeing other people in here,� said Garibay of the 8-month-old Shih Tzu named Peekheet, Hebrew for “clever.�

Just as the issue with Garibay’s ad was going off newsstands, she got a response. They chatted by phone for 45 minutes, and he left his number. But she’s looking for a family, not a man. “He’s lonely,� she said.

It’s a condition she knows well.

She grew up in South Shore and didn’t have close friends in high school. An only child, her parents are both dead, and she isn’t in touch with relatives.

Wanting to establish roots, Garibay volunteered at a Jewish senior citizens’ center. “She’s a sweet, sweet person,� said Rabbi Dena Bodian of Anshe Emet. “Any family who adopts her will find her a joy to be with.� “I guess I don’t know how to tell someone ‘I want to be a part of your family,’� she said.

Neil Myers, left, and Chelsea Campbell

Chelsea Campbell and Neil Myers were married Sept. 10 at the Terrall home in Tumalo. A reception followed.

The bride is the daughter of Dan and Mary Jane Campbell, of Portland, and the late Robin Arceil Hoselton. She is a 2001 graduate of Lincoln High School in Portland and a 2005 graduate

of Western State College of Colorado, where she studied business.

She works as a customer service representative for Ruff Wear.

The groom is the son of Rick and Ingre Myers, of Bend. He is a 1997 graduate of Bend High School. He works as an engineer at BendBroadband.

The couple will honeymoon in Italy.

For several years, the family has carried walkie-talkies, and it was that device the earned Varas the nickname of “A-OK.�

Spiros said that started years ago when he heard a gun go off and radioed his uncle to ask if he was all right.

Let down, playwright leaves theater, gives away his books

By Bruce Weber

Nepal Continued from C1 Admission is free to Himalayan Holiday, which will feature free food and beverages, along with music by Brad Tisdel. The sale of hats, scarves and more from Nepal and Africa will help support the Ten Friends Himalayan Education Center, where 13 female students are studying to become teachers.

When Ten Friends began delivering stretchers to villages, “We weren’t doing it as a nonprofit at that time, just kind of a way to feel good (and) pay the people back for such a beautiful place for us to travel,” LaMont says. “It just felt like the right thing, and it was great, because nobody else was doing it. There were a lot of organizations working over there, but none of them were delivering stretchers and medical supplies to remote regions like that.”

By the second year, Ten Friends attained formal nonprofit status,

Playwright Ed Schmidt with the giveaway books selected by his audience members on Dec. 4 during “My Last Play.”

New York Times News Service

Two years ago Ed Schmidt, a New York playwright, got word that his father was near death in upstate New York. He bundled his family into the car and drove north. As it happened, they arrived minutes too late; Willie Schmidt, a former history teacher and camp director, had died, probably as they were parking the car.

That night, seeking solace, the younger Schmidt read the final act of his favorite American play, Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.” That’s the one in which Emily Webb, a woman who has died far too young, revisits her family kitchen on the morning of her 10th birthday and discovers the agonizing truth about how little value people place on the simple moments of their daily lives.

Schmidt, 48, explains all this near the start of his new play, a solo piece that he is performing for 12 theatergoers at a time in

the living room of his groundfloor apartment in New York.

“Our Town” failed him, however, he says.

He felt no better, and that’s when he made the leap: If great theater is no use to him in a moment of crisis, then it’s not worth spending his life trying to create it.

He decided to give up playwriting, and this new play — it’s called “My Last Play” — takes the form of a personal farewell to the theater.

Schmidt manages to milk the idea of a serious life shift by affecting a distracted delivery onstage and by admitting, offhandedly, that he and his wife have separated.

To demonstrate the seriousness of the enterprise, he is giving away his 2,000-volume library, one book at a time.

“What’s been really interesting is that people respond to the fact that I’m giving away the books more so than that it’s my last play,” Schmidt said.

LaMont says. Its vision expanded into helping improve the quality of life and providing basic supplies for Nepalese people.

For example, the water supply in Nepal “is atrocious,” he says, and a particular problem for young children. About five years ago, Ten Friends began delivering water filters to villages and orphanages.

There are more than 400 orphanages in Katmandu, and Ten Friends has supplied beds, food, water filters and more to about 50 of them, according to its website, www.tenfriends.org. In 2008, the group helped one such orphanage, Hopeful Home, purchase a new building, putting a permanent roof over the heads of some 40 orphans.

But the focus of Sunday’s event will be helping the 13 girls studying at the Ten Friends Himalayan Education Center in Khandbari, in northeastern Nepal.

“It’s very difficult for women there to get an education, so we are supporting these 13 girls,” LaMont says. “Without our sup-

port, that just wouldn’t happen.”

“Normally, girls in those regions where they live are discouraged from going to school and getting an education,” he explains. “They’re often forced to stay home and take care of the farm animals, clean or just have children and take care of children the rest of their lives.”

Ten Friends provides a hostel, as they call it, where the girls live.

In all, education costs about $1,000 a year per student, “which is really a bargain,” LaMont says.

“We pay for their food, educational expenses and everything they need to become future teachers and go back to their villages, not just to be teachers, but to be community leaders and great examples for their community, (showing) that women can be educated and can be very productive.”

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Dec. 12, 2010: This year, be willing to invest more time and caring into your domestic life. You might not understand what is needed by a roommate or family member. Ask and listen.

Real estate investments need to be eyed with caution. What you believe is a sure-bet winner often won’t pan out. If you are single, a friend might not be a good choice for a lover. If you are attached, the two of you need to add some of the zest of dating back into your relationship. Use your imagination.

PISCES can be an anchor.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Others know that you mean what you say. You could feel that others don’t pull their weight on a project. Stay steady, but also be willing to postpone plans if need be. A loved one radiates with your attention.

Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You and a key family member and/or loved one are finally in sync. Whether visiting others, off to the movies or simply relaxing, you feel great together. Don’t make a big deal of a last-minute snafu.

Tonight: Where the gang is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH Bring family, friends or perhaps a group together. As a natural leader, you know

what keys to play to evoke certain responses. Your smile draws others, helping them relax. Tonight: Time with a special person.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Others invite you to join them on their exploration.

Some might go to the mountains; others to a flea market. Wherever you are, opt for escape. You’ll hear a lot of news when visiting with family and friends.

Tonight: With loved ones.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Deal with a partner directly, and you’ll come out on top of your game. Your ability to understand this person often proves to be an asset, preventing problems. Don’t worry about saying what you feel. Tonight: Don’t hold back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Give up the thought of a quiet day. Even if you have plans, you could be surprised by how many people you encounter.

Don’t extend yourself more than you are comfortable with, especially financially. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might try to loosen up, but you have been stiff for a while. Choose a nurturing activity where you can recharge your mind and body. A little pampering mixed in can only help. Tonight: Quit standing on ceremony.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your ingenuity allows you to make the most of nearly any situation. Even if you are

having a ball with a child or loved one, you manage to move the fun up a notch. If you are alone, you might feel depressed. Don’t let this happen!

Tonight: Be the belle of the ball or the beau of the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Act like your home is your castle. Don’t permit someone to slow you down. A friend could have a case of the blues; be smart and move away from a problem person. You need some time off.

Tonight: Make a favorite meal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You are likely to tell it like it is. You have unusual insight, which takes you down different paths. Sometimes you see an obstacle where others don’t. If you observe that an older friend or relative could hit a boomerang, let this person know. Tonight: Visit with family.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Curb a need to go overboard. Spending also could be an issue. Someone from a distance reaches out to you; make plans to visit in the near future. A friend could cause a last-minute change of plans. Move with the moment.

Tonight: Make a special dinner.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your innate charisma speaks. Others are drawn to you and let you know it in no uncertain terms. Convincing a partner to get on board with plans could be like moving mountains. Let this person be. Tonight: Only where the fun is. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

If you go Travel Information for Disentis, Switzerland

GETTING THERE Disentis is about 5½ hours by train from Zurich, but the more dramatic approach is to fly into Geneva and then take the 6-hour train ride on the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn.

WHERE TO STAY There are only eight hotels in Disentis, and perhaps 15 restaurants. The largest hotel, and the one with the most amenities, is the Disentiserhof (41-81-92957-00; disentiserhof.ch), about a 10-minute shuttle ride from the lifts. The 157-apartment hotel and restaurant has an indoor pool, sauna and a freestanding five-level children’s castle. A double room including breakfast during high season (three-night minimum) costs about 390 francs per night, or $392.

The Hotel Cucagna (41-81-92955-55; cucagna.ch) has one of the town’s few bars. Double rooms there start at 250 francs per night.

The hotel also has a hostel, with bunks (four beds to a room) for 30 francs.

RESTAURANTS AND APRES-SKI Apres-ski is decidedly low-key in Disentis. One exception is Nangijala (41-81-936-44-60; nangijala.ch), a Swedish-owned ski bar a short walk from the base of the tram on Via Alpsu. It has bands or DJ’s on the weekends.

Many locals agree that Hotel Alpsu (41-81-947-51-17; hotelalpsu. ch) makes the best capuns (24.90 francs) and bizochel, another Romansch specialty (18.90 francs).

IN DISENTIS Off-piste skiing’s the game here. A private guide can cost about 572 francs a day. A guided freeride group is about 120 francs.

Come with your own avalanche equipment (shovel, beacon, probe). Or ask the guide service what it provides.

For on-piste skiing, the ski area of Sedrun about five miles away has more groomed slopes, and they’re neither as steep nor as difficult.

For Nordic skiers, Disentis and Sedrun offer about 25 miles of trails, many of them on the Rhine.

More information on skiing, lodging and guiding can be found at disentis-sedrun.ch.

Undiscovered Swiss town is skiing’s next big secret

By Christopher Solomon

Unfortunately, not every run would be so tasty: Sunshine followed by a cold snap over the previous few days had refrozen the warmed snow elsewhere on the mountain and rendered it unpleasantly crunchy.

New York Times News Service

In the early 1990s, a Powder magazine writer described a mystical ski area of unprecedented off-piste challenge. So paranoid was the writer that this mountain’s pristine slopes and elevator-shaft chutes would soon be overrun by, well, the rest of us, that he wouldn’t even name the place. He would only call it — tantalizingly — Valley X. Secrets are hard to keep in the ski world. People pieced together the clues, and word got out that Valley X was La Grave, France.

La Grave became famous.

A few winters later, Powder ran a piece about another unknown ski kingdom — a Valley Y — where off-piste runs stretched for a vertical mile or more. The place was revealed as Alagna, Italy. “So many Swedish ski bums showed up there and were so rowdy, Alagna had to hire a cop for the first time in its 800-year history,” recalled Powder’s former editor, Steve Casimiro.

The pattern has played out again and again in places like Engelberg and Andermatt, Switzerland. The arc is always the same: from rumor, to Swedes, to pictures in ski magazines, to appearances in ski movies, until finally the secret slopes become a playland crowded with powder seekers.

As a former ski bum, I’ve always chafed at having to learn secondhand about the next great place. Why couldn’t I be the first to know?

Then one day a guide let slip that there was a place tucked away in Switzerland’s more remote and quirky Graubuenden canton. He said it had the vertical terrain of a Whistler Blackcomb in Canada yet none of a big resort’s neon or crowds. What’s more, most of the skiing was ungroomed and wild — a ski area served by lifts yet untamed by them. I searched but found almost nothing about it.

That only excited me more. Then came the clincher: Some Swedes had recently opened a bar there.

Clearly it was time to visit, and fast, before my Valley Z got away.

Finally found

Photos by Christophe Margot / New York Times News Service

A skier carries skis to a slope in Disentis, Switzerland, April 2. The small town has miles of runs unspoiled by a large tourist presence.

I won’t make you hunt for clues. Valley Z goes by another name — Disentis, a town of 2,100 people that sits on a high step of the Rhine Valley.

Here in this isolated nook of the Graubuenden, even the language is different: This is the beating heart of the ethnic minority who speak a Latin-based language all their own called Romansch.

Eight hotels — only a few of them of any size — sit along the valley’s two-lane road, as do a dozen or so restaurants serving up specialties like capuns, a regional dumpling dish.

Off-piste runs are best Disentis has nine ski lifts and 37 miles of marked runs. But if you come to ski the pistes, you’ve made a terrible mistake. They’re narrow, poorly groomed and offkilter — certainly not what an American expects. What’s more, the pistes are where the few crowds are likely to be found. I tried them on my first run and scarcely returned to them again.

This place is worth visiting only for the powdery off-piste ridges and valleys — accessible from the lifts — often requiring little or no hiking to reach.

And for a little while longer at least, it’s all yours.

ENTER TO WIN A TWO NIGHT STAY AT THE FIRESIDE MOTEL IN YACHATS!

The best and safest way to experience Disentis is to join a “freeride” group led by a mountain guide, who leads skiers to the best wild snow while keeping them safe from avalanches.

The valley’s few guides had been booked up weeks in advance, so I headed out with my friend Tim, an expat living in Switzerland, along with Anders Floden, a 27year-old Swede who’d offered to show us around.

Disentis’ size and possibilities aren’t apparent from the valley floor, nor even from the foggy windows of the tram that sweeps you from the village skyward. It is only higher, from the seat of the second chairlift, that the broadshouldered peaks fully reveal themselves, spilling into high white valleys far above the trees.

For our first run, Floden pointed to a ridge seemingly miles away that arched upward like the back of some beast sunning itself in March’s strong sunshine. We traversed for 10 minutes, tossed skis over our shoulders and hiked for five more, and were suddenly there, atop the ridge called Bostg. Beneath our ski tips was a 2,000-foot ski run blanketed with nearly untouched powder even though the last storm had swept through nine days earlier. And we were alone. Not bad at all.

My last day in Disentis, a frigid morning tossed with wind and snow, I snagged an empty spot in a large “freeride” group of Germans led by two mountain guides who’d grown up in the valley. At the top lift, we began a 30-minute trudge into the clouds.

Eventually, out of the whiteness, two dozen iron rungs bolted to a mountainside materialized before us. No rope, no safety line.

Just our own frozen grip and good sense to keep us safe. We handed up the skis, then climbed the rungs to the ridge top. “Lean back and relax a little bit,” said a guide, David Berther. It was unclear if he was joking.

A patch of blue sky briefly opened, and for a moment we could glimpse the top of 10,919foot Oberalpstock, which looms over this area. But we weren’t headed that way. On the ridge we clicked into skis for the 5,200-vertical-foot run down Val Strem.

I’m told the valley is beautiful, but the visibility that day was milk-jug white, and we felt our way through the soft new snow. As we dropped, a stream joined us, gurgling some happy commentary to our descent. The clouds lifted just enough for us to see an ibex posing on a promontory. How long was the ski run?

Four miles? Five? Six? We didn’t know. We skied right into the neighboring town of Sedrun and practically right into a steaming plate of capuns to warm up.

After a taxi ride back to Disentis, we were the only ones taking the gondola back up the mountain. There was time for one more run, and the guides led us to Val Pintga. They had plans for us.

As we skied down, Berther stopped near a giant snow-covered rock, then ducked behind

A skier jumps off a cliff in Disentis, Switzerland, April 2. it. We followed, and found him unhitching the door of a mountain hut, smothered under four feet of snow. I had heard of that famous Romansch friendliness; now Berther was throwing open the shutters of this cabin and inviting us inside.

The guides put the coffee on.

Somebody popped the top on a Calanda Edelbrau beer and handed it to me. A bottle of schnapps started to circle the room.

And it occurred to me then: Isn’t this what we’re really after, those of us who talk about finding The Next Great Place? We babble like statisticians about snowfall and feet of vertical drop. But in the end, aren’t we really just looking for a place that’s genuine, and that genuinely embraces us — where we don’t feel like just another tourist banging out turns?

We sat, sipping schnapps and laughing in our secret mountain hut, the warmest we’d been all week.

Snow forces Giants to stay in KC; game vs. Vikings Monday

Culver’s Mote wins fourth world title

MINNEAPOLIS — Brett Favre has got to love a snowstorm. His ailing shoulder has been given another day to heal.

The Giants-Vikings game was moved to Monday night because Minnesota had at least 15 inches of snow and wind gusting over 30 mph and the New York team was waiting it out in Kansas City.

The Vikings announced the game will kick off at 5 p.m.

PST and remain televised

by Fox in the Minnesota and New York markets.

The delay gives Favre, the Vikings’ 41-year-old bionic quarterback, another day to rest his sprained throwing shoulder. Favre is aiming to make his NFL-record 298th straight start, but he has barely practiced all week.

He’s listed as questionable for the game, after getting hit hard and slammed to the turf on his first pass of last week’s game against the Buffalo Bills.

Favre built his reputation in the wintry weather in Green Bay, winning a playoff game in January 2008 during his last season with the Packers while flakes flew all over and Lambeau Field looked like a shook-up snow globe.

As for the Giants? They must really be tired of these trips to Minnesota by now.

The Vikings and Giants are set to play for the ninth time in the last 10 regular seasons, a scheduling quirk that has slated seven of those meetings — this year would be three in a row — for Minnesota.

The Vikings (5-7) have beaten the Giants (8-4) four straight times.

From staff and wire reports LAS VEGAS — Culver’s Bobby Mote proved he is the best bareback rider in the world — for the fourth time.

Mote won his fourth world championship, and his second in a row, in bareback riding on Saturday night at the National Finals Rodeo at Thomas & Mack Center.

He clinched the title with a fifth-place ride of 85 points on Delta Ship in the 10th and final goround of the NFR Saturday. Coming into the final go-round, Mote trailed world standings lead-

er Steven Dent by just under $6,000. But Mote, 34, was second in the aggregate standings, with 836.5 points on 10 head, and earned a $36,436 bonus, while Dent finished eighth (776 on 10).

Dent also didn’t place among the top six in the final go-round.

Mote finished the year with $204,484.04 in earnings to top the world standings. That was ahead of second-place finisher Justin McDaniel, of Porum, Okla. ($185,039.37). Dent, of Mullen, Neb., finished in fourth place ($173,735.77).

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS St. Pierre dominates to retain UFC welterweight title Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

MONTREAL — Welterweight champion Georges StPierre outpointed trash-talking Josh Koscheck on Saturday night at UFC 124, winning 5045 on all three judges’ cards in front of 23,152 fans at Bell Centre — a North American record for a UFC crowd.

The 29-year-old Montrealer (21-2) carved up Koscheck’s face with his jab and punished his legs with kicks in his fifth successful title defense.

“I didn’t reach my goal tonight. My goal was to take him out, but he was very tough,” St-Pierre said.

In the co-main event, 6-foot11 Dutch heavyweight Stefan Struve stopped 6-foot-7 Sean McCorkle at 3:55 of the first round to improve to 10-1.

Also, welterweight Thiago Alves won a unanimous decision over John Howard, Mac Danzig knocked out Joe Stevenson, and Jim Miller upset rising lightweight star Charles Oliveira.

Canadian fighters dominated the opening fights. John Makdessi and Sean Pierson won in their debuts, Jesse Bongfeldt had a draw in his first fight, and Mark Boceck also won.

Makdessi unanimously outpointed Pat Audinwood, Pierson won a slugfest with Matt Riddle, Bongfeldt fought to a draw with Rafael Natal, and Boceck topped Dustin Hazelett. Canadians T.J. Grant and Joe Doerksen lost. Ricardo Almeida edged Grant, and Dan Miller beat Doerksen.

Inside

NEW YORK — The presentation of the 2010 Heisman Trophy had about as much suspense as a Harlem Globetrotters game. For 13 star-kissed games, Auburn quarterback Cam Newton seemed to toy with opponents — from overmatched nonleague teams to the meat of the Southeastern Conference — as if they were the Washington Generals.

But in a season in which Newton lapped the field, the only opposition he has not been able to escape is controversy. When Newton accepted the trophy in Manhattan on Saturday night, his father was not in attendance; the NCAA determined that Cecil Newton Sr. attempted to arrange a payfor-play scheme to send his son to Mississippi State.

What is cyclocross?

A form of bike racing staged during the fall and winter, cyclocross consists of multiple laps on a short course that typically includes pavement, grass, dirt, mud — and sometimes snow and ice. Most races feature steep hills, stairs and wooden barriers that competitors must clear by dismounting their bikes and carrying them. The 2010 USA Cycling Cyclo-cross National Championships conclude today in Bend.

S B Golf • Perry-Funk, Stricker-Kelly tied at Shark Shootout: Fred Funk and Kenny Perry shot a 10-under 62 in better-ball play Saturday for a share of the second-round lead in the Shark Shootout in Naples, Fla., with defending champions Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly. Stricker and Kelly, who rallied to beat Perry and J.B. Holmes last year in the final round, had a 63 to match Funk and Perry at 18 under on the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort’s Tiburon Golf Club course.

• Michael leads by 1 going into Dunhill final round: Anthony Michael is taking a one-shot lead into the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship in Malelane, South Africa, after a 1-under 71 kept him ahead of the chasing pack. The South African was at 10-under 206 through 54 holes Saturday, one shot ahead of Pablo Martin of Spain and Tjaart van der Walt of South Africa.

Football • Navy beats Army for ninth straight time, 31-17: The Midshipmen had already lost the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy. They weren’t about to lose to Army, too. Ricky Dobbs threw the longest touchdown pass in the 111-year history of the Army-Navy game, Wyatt Middleton had the longest fumble return in school history, and the Midshipmen extended their winning streak against Army to nine straight with a 31-17 victory Saturday. Dobbs passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns in his final game against the Black Knights (6-6), one of 24 seniors to never lose to their rivals from West Point. Dobbs turned the ball over four times — three fumbles and an interception in the end zone — but also ran for a team-high 54 yards for Navy (9-3).

• AP source: Texas coordinator to be head coach at Florida: A person familiar with the decision says Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp has accepted an offer to be the head coach at Florida. Muschamp, who just finished his third season at Texas, where he was the headcoach-in-waiting to succeed Mack Brown, replaces Urban Meyer at Florida. The person confirming the move spoke on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not yet been made.

Hockey • Hockey attendance record falls at Michigan Stadium: Michigan and Michigan State set a world record for attendance at a hockey game, playing in front of 113,411 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich. The school announced the attendance during the third period Saturday.

A representative from Guinness World Records was on hand to verify the record. The previous mark for a hockey game was 77,803 at this year’s world championship in Germany. This is also the largest crowd to see any event at Michigan Stadium, surpassing the 113,090 for a football game earlier this year. The hockey game — dubbed “The Big Chill at the Big House” — takes place nine years after the same two teams played another outdoor game at Michigan State’s football stadium.

NBA ROUNDUP

Mavericks hold off Jazz to take 12th straight victory The Associated Press DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks squandered a 25-point first-half lead before Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry saved them down the stretch.

Nowitzki had 31 points and 15 rebounds, and he combined with Terry for Dallas’ final 21 points as the Mavericks extended their winning streak to 12 games with a 103-97 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.

The Mavericks raced to a 294 lead midway through the first quarter, then had to rally down the stretch behind Terry’s 12 fourth-quarter points and Nowitzki’s nine.

“They slowly chipped away and chipped away and finally tied the game there in the fourth, and we had to really dig deep, grind it out and get some stops,” Nowitzki said. “(Terry) got hot at the right moment which really helped, and made shots for us down the stretch. ... We definitely made it harder on ourselves than we should have.”

Nowitzki went 10 for 12 from the floor.

“He’s on a great run,” Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said.

“You’re not going to shoot 10 for 12 every night, but a guy of his skill level is capable of it.”

DeShawn Stevenson added a season-high 17 points, going 5 of 7 from 3-point range, and Caron Butler had 16 points for Dallas.

The Mavericks put on a longrange shooting clinic, hitting 14 of 26 from beyond the arc to prevail in a matchup of Western Conference heavyweights.

Dallas-area native Deron Williams scored 19 of his 34 points in the first half and paced the Jazz, who had won nine of 11.

Paul Millsap added 16 points and Ronnie Price scored 14 for Utah.

Dallas made 13 of 18 field goal attempts in the opening quarter, going 7 for 10 from 3-point range, and the Mavericks went on to stretch the NBA’s longest current winning streak.

The Mavericks (19-4) are off to their best start since 2002-03 and the second-best in team history.

Dallas Mavericks center Tyson Chandler reacts as he dunks in the first half of Saturday’s game against the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz tied it at 89 with 4:31 left on Williams’ three-point play, and Utah was within 96-95 with 2:40 remaining on Price’s 3-pointer.

Al Jefferson’s follow shot with 29.9 seconds left got the Jazz within 99-97.

But Nowitzki drew a doubleteam and passed to Terry for a 3-pointer from the right corner with 7.6 seconds remaining to extend Dallas’ lead to 102-97.

Vick’s complaint shows how far he has come

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

T

he fans seem to have forgiven, if not completely forgotten. Evidence of that comes straight from the NFL’s election central, where Michael Vick is leading all players in voting for the Pro Bowl.

The judge who put him behind bars is pleased with the new Vick, too. He told the Washington Post a few days ago that Vick’s return to football glory is proof that the criminal justice system really does work.

And the Philadelphia Eagles are ecstatic about the bargain basement quarterback who is not only doing the right things off the field, but doing spectacular things on it. It may just be that Vick, who began the season as a second stringer, is a better quarterback in his reincarnation than he ever was in his days playing in Atlanta.

It may also be that being named to the Pro Bowl is the least of the awards Vick will haul in during his season of redemption. League MVP certainly isn’t out of the question, and neither is Super Bowl champion.

Eighteen months ago he was finishing up a stint at Leavenworth and hated by dog lovers everywhere. Now he’s the toast of the NFL, a feel-good story almost too good to be true.

You wouldn’t think Vick has anything to complain about.

But he does, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

It seems NFL referees aren’t showing him any love.

“Not to take anything away from the other quarterbacks in the league, if you go back and watch the film, I’m always getting hit after I let go of the football,” Vick said earlier this week on his radio show in Virginia Beach, Va. “I’m constantly getting hit after I throw the football, constantly getting my facemask pulled and getting hit in the head and it’s never called.”

That Vick would feel secure enough in his new position in life to complain about officiating may be the biggest illustration of how far he’s come in putting his dog fighting scandal behind him. Until now he’s pretty much stuck to the script written for his comeback, keeping his head in the playbook and his mouth mostly shut.

Vick believes the referees aren’t calling late hits on him for a reason. It’s just not the reason you might think.

They’re not holding onto their yellow flags because he’s an ex-con who engaged in despicable behavior. According to Vick, they just sometimes for-

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick (7) slips past the grasp of Houston Texans’ Mario Williams (90) in the second half of last week’s game in Philadelphia.

N F L C O M M E N TA RY get he’s a quarterback.

“I just think that because I run the ball so much, the referees sometimes will overlook that,” Vick said. “They have to understand when I’m in the pocket, I’m a passer. If I get hit late, they should call it. I’m not complaining. I just want to be treated fairly.”

Give Vick credit for the timing of his message if nothing else. Tied with the Giants for the lead in their division with the season racing to a conclusion, the Eagles play tonight in Dallas against the resurgent Cowboys, then head to New York the next week to take on the Giants.

The two-game stretch will likely decide the NFC East, and determine whether the Eagles are a legitimate playoff threat.

It can’t hurt to at least plant the idea in the heads of the officials working the game that Vick needs some extra protection.

Vick, though, is not alone in thinking some quarterbacks have it easier than others.

“They protect the quarterbacks, which is a good thing.

They are out there pretty vulnerable,” Jets safety Eric Smith said. “But you are getting roughing calls against certain QBs more than others.”

That defensive players may be tempted to take late shots at Vick isn’t surprising, since getting him out of the game might be the key to winning games against the Eagles. Interestingly enough, his complaints center around the hits he takes in the Hospice Home Health Hospice House Transitions

pocket instead of the ones that come when he’s running the ball.

So far this year Vick has run for 467 yards and six touchdowns, while throwing 15 touchdown passes against only two interceptions. He’s completing nearly two out of every three passes, and his passer rating of 105.7 trails only that of Tom Brady.

But the numbers tell only part of the story about his remarkable comeback. While he tries to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl, he’s also continuing to rebuild an image that many thought could never be rebuilt.

Vick seems to be succeeding, at least judged by the cheers that greet him on the field and the votes he’s getting for the Pro Bowl. Instead of talking about his dog fighting days, fans now talk about his latest scramble from the pocket or one of his long and accurate throws downfield.

The Eagles may not make it to the Super Bowl, and he may not win the MVP award. But Vick has already won something bigger this season.

He’s become a football player once again.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Continued from D1 “Unfortunately, I got decked by a spectator and that’s when Danny caught me,” a mud-caked McDonald said after the race. “I got hit HARD by a spectator. There was just no course marks on that part of the course. … It was a bummer.

“But at the same time, Danny rode a great race and I got out-raced on the last lap.”

After the incident with the wayward onlooker, Summerhill closed McDonald’s 15-second gap and the two riders battled it out up front for the majority of the race. Spectators, lined three and four deep along the barriers in some locations, clanged cowbells and cheered boisterously as periodic sun gave way to dark clouds and sideways rain.

Summerhill attacked on the penultimate lap and soon had a 15second lead of his own.

“I was able to power away and get enough speed,” said Summerhill, who claimed his second straight U23 national title. “Every time he (McDonald) would make me bobble through the technical parts, I really had to put the hammer down. It was a difficult race for sure — we were battling the whole time.”

“He just pulled away in one of the straights and I made a couple mistakes,” McDonald said. “After that I knew I wasn’t coming back to him, so I just kind of let him go.”

Summerhill said he thought McDonald had the race won in the first 30 seconds, because Summerhill crashed after another rider cut him off and McDonald was able to get a big lead.

“I was thinking, ‘Oh man, that was a long week of waiting and stressing for nothing,’” Summerhill said. “I got back up to him, but Zach had a hell of a ride.”

While the men’s U23 race was the signature event of the day, competition for national titles was staged in five other categories Saturday, and several Central Oregon riders posted high placings.

A pair of local riders had top-five finishes in the Masters men 3034 race. Cody Peterson, of Bend, was third, while Damian Schmitt, also of Bend, was fourth.

Three cyclists from Bend finished in the top 20 of the Masters men 35-39 race: Ben Thompson was seventh, John Rollert finished 15th, and Timothy Jones placed 16th.

In the Masters men 40-44 race, Bend’s Bart Bowen finished 20th in 45:07. Michael Nyberg, of Bend, placed 19th in 49:08 in the Masters men 50-54 division.

In the final Junior race of the National Championships, men 1718, Bend’s Cole Sprague finished 17th with a time of 48:19.

Today is the final day of the 2010 Cyclocross Nationals, and spectators can watch the best cyclocross racers in the country do battle in the mud. Admission to the event is free.

The elite/U23 women’s race starts at 12:30 p.m., and the elite men’s race begins at 2:30 p.m.

Bend’s Ryan Trebon will race today for his third elite national title, and Katie Compton, of Colorado Springs, Colo., is seeking her seventh consecutive elite national title.

Heisman Continued from D1 While the NCAA ruled Cam Newton eligible despite the scandal, his father ducked the spotlight of New York to avoid taking attention away from his son.

“I’d be sitting up here lying to you if I didn’t say it hurts,” Newton said of his father’s absence.

“It hurts me a lot. It’s a once in a lifetime deal.”

Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, who is considered the favorite to be the top pick in the NFL draft this April if he declares, finished second. Oregon tailback LaMichael James finished third, and Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore came in fourth. Newton joins the former tailback Bo Jackson (1981) and quarterback Pat Sullivan (1971) as the third winner from Auburn.

Newton certainly earned the award on the field, as he produced 48 touchdowns — 20 rushing and 28 passing — and perhaps set the standard against which dual-threat quarterbacks will be judged. Newton received the fourth-most first-place votes in the history of the Heisman and ended up with the 11th largest margin of victory. But perhaps more notable were the voters who abstained — 18 fewer ballots were turned in this year — and the 105 voters who left Newton off their ballots.

“This was a landslide win for Newton but not historic,” said Chris Huston, the publisher of Heismanpundit.com. “The allegations of pay-for-play appeared to have little effect on the race.

He was left off of 7.4 percent of ballots but it wasn’t enough to

Mote Continued from D1 Mote previously won world titles in 2002, 2007 and last year.

He joined an elite group of five bareback riders who have already won four or more world championships — Eddy Akridge, Jim Shoulders and Marvin Garrett (four each) and Joe Alexander and Bruce Ford (five each).

Heading into the NFR, a fourth world title for Mote looked like a long shot. Mote missed large chunks of this season due to injury — he had neck surgery this summer to relieve a pinched nerve in addition to fracturing his pubic bone in August. He was fifth in the world standings before the start of the 10-round finals, and he was nearly $70,000 behind worldleader Ryan Gray, of Cheney, Wash. But Gray was knocked out of the NFR in the second round, when he was stepped on by his horse after his ride, and he suffered a lacerated liver.

Newton captures coveted award

prevent him from scoring a dominant win.”

Heading into the ceremony, numerous voters had voiced their displeasure over the controversy hounding Newton. The ballot states that the winner should be the player “whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity.”

Newton received first-place votes on 93 percent of the ballots, but one hint that pointed to voters’ unease with picking Newton because of ethical concerns was that he had the fewest second-place votes of any winner since the Heisman voting format changed in the early 1970s. Along with the NCAA controversy, Newton was arrested in Florida in connection with a stolen laptop and was involved in three academic cheating incidents while there.

But those events did not dim the wide smile that Newton has flashed throughout the season, which will end with No. 1 Auburn playing No. 2 Oregon in the

Bowl Championship Series title game on Jan. 10.

“This whole thing right now is just beyond me right now,” Newton said. “I feel like I’m in a dream.”

With the winner a foregone conclusion, a bigger question was whether the Heisman organizers set a dangerous precedent when Reggie Bush returned his trophy this year. While the organizers have not acknowledged this directly, it is understood that Bush, the 2005 winner, returned his award under pressure.

With the NCAA still investigating Newton’s recruitment from junior college last winter, the pink elephant in the Best Buy Theater last night was whether a similar scenario would plague Newton.

“If they’re going to continue to include integrity as one of their core criteria and values, they have to look at it,” the Pacific-10 Commissioner Larry Scott said of the precedent set. “They have no choice. They can’t preach it

and not back up the words with actions, otherwise they lose credibility.”

The Heisman Trophy is not tied to the NCAA and does not fall under the purview of anything other than the trust that runs the award. Privately, Bush was steamed about returning the award, especially after others tied to those tainted Southern California seasons did not pay nearly as dearly. The Heisman Trust has been relatively mum on the Bush issue, even declining to acknowledge where it is keeping the trophy.

“What constitutes the level of impropriety and severity?” the Western Athletic Conference Commissioner Karl Benson said of the Heisman’s precedent. “The chances of it happening again are pretty strong. And it may be sooner than later.”

Asked if he had any concerns about whether the NCAA investigation would force him to return the Heisman, Newton did not hesitate in his answer.

“Two letters for you my friend,” Newton said. “No.” The Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany predicted that the Heisman Trust will face problems with making such decisions over the trophy in the future.

“It’s really difficult stuff because they don’t have a kind of an adjudicatory function,” Delany said. “While smoke or suspicion has been raised, it’s obviously factually incomplete.

They’ll struggle with it.”

As Newton left the interview area at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, he was flanked by eight security guards. Until the investigation ends, questions will linger about how safe Newton’s Heisman is at Auburn.

After taking second place in the first two go-rounds of the NFR, Mote got himself back in contention for a world title. But his hopes seemed to fade in rounds two through six, when his best finish was sixth in the fifth go-round.

But he finished strong, earning checks in the final four rounds, including two first-place finishes.

“I started off with two seconds (at the NFR) and then went through a big dry spell through the middle of the week,” Mote said.

“It was solely the draw. I wanted to hit the panic button, but I didn’t.

That’s where having experience is so invaluable, because I knew if I kept my head on my shoulders and kept doing my job that it was going to turn around. The last few rounds really came around good for me.”

McDaniel, who didn’t place among the top six in the round, won the aggregate title with 836.5 points for 10 rides. Mote was second, and Kelly Timberman of Mills, Wyo., who won the round with an 86.5 on Bar Bandit,

finished third in the aggregate standings.

The NFR also closed the season for several other Central Oregon contestants. Also in bareback riding, Prineville’s Jason Havens finished the 10th goround in sixth place with a ride of 84 points, picking up a check worth $2,824.52. Redmond’s Steven Peebles finished out of the money with a ride of 80.5 points.

Havens finished 12th in the world ($107,228.89), while Peebles was 13th ($93,258.74).

In team roping, Prineville’s Charly Crawford and Terrebonne’s Russell Cardoza had no time in the 10th go-round. Crawford was eighth in the world for headers ($123,883.05), while Cardoza was eighth for heelers ($125,734.36).

In barrel racing, Terrebonne’s Brenda Mays finished out of the money with a time of 14.07 seconds. Mays finished the season in sixth place in the world.

Trevor Brazile added team and tie-down roping world titles to his

all-around crown to become the third Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association competitor with multiple triple crowns.

Brazile, the 14-time world champion from Decatur, Texas, earned $211,509 at the 10-round NFR — a record for a single rodeo by more than $65,000 — to push his season total to a record $507,921.

In tie-down roping, Brazile won both the world and NFR aggregate standings titles by finishing ninth with a time of 9.1 seconds in the 10th round. Brazile topped the world standings with $233,827 and the aggregate with an overall time of 88.6 over 10 rounds. Shane Hanchey of Sulphur, La., who led the aggregate race entering the final round, didn’t place with a time of 22.5. Tuf Cooper of Decatur, Texas, won the round in 6.9 seconds. He finished second to brother-in-law Brazile in both the world standings with $203,968 and in the aggregate with an overall time of 96.7 for 10 rounds.

In team roping, Brazile and Patrick Smith of Midland, Texas,

Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, only the second player in FBS history (Tim Tebow) to both run and pass for 20 touchdowns in a single season, was selected the 76th Heisman Trophy winner.

EUGENE — E.J. Singler had 18 points and 17 rebounds and five others scored in double figures for Oregon in its 100-67 victory against Willamette on Saturday night.

It was the highest-scoring game of the season for the Ducks (6-3), who got 15 points from Garrett Sim and 13 from Teondre Williams, who missed the last two games with a concussion but came off the bench to go six for 11 from the field with three monstrous dunks.

Joevan Catron also scored 13 for Oregon, and Malcolm Armstead and Jay-R Strowbridge added 10 points each.

Taylor Mounts led all scorers with 23 points and nine rebounds for the Bearcats (36). Terrell Malley also had 15 points and Mountain View High product Sean Dart added 12 points for Willamette.

The matchup between the Ducks and the Division III Bearcats was a tribute to the first game played at McArthur Court, a 38-10 win for Oregon against Willamette on Jan. 14, 1927. The Ducks will play only four more games at Mac Court before moving into their new home — the $227-million, 12,500-seat Matthew Knight Arena — Jan. 13 against USC. Oregon wore throwback uniforms to honor the 1939 “Tall Firs” team that won the first NCAA Tournament.

The Ducks blew the game open with a 26-4 run late in the first half. Singler scored 13 of his 15 first-half points during that stretch, which began with the Ducks leading 25-24 at the 7:45 mark, and ended with them up 51-28.

The Bearcats had eight turnovers during Oregon’s run and made just one of nine shots from the field.

Overall, Willamette had 24 turnovers that the Ducks turned into 39 points. Oregon also outrebounded the Bearcats 49-29.

Curtis Cassidy of Donalda, Alberta, finished second in the world with $166,775. Cassidy won the round in 3.7.

In saddle bronc riding, Cody Wright of Milford, Utah, won both the world and aggregate standings championships following a second-place finish with an 87 on Painted Valley. Wright finished with $247,579 in total world earnings and 847 points over

cuse clamped down on its upstate New York rival.

Captain’s scores lead Coyotes past Stars

Ligety wins World Cup giant slalom in Alps

The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Only the goal post prevented Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan from his first career hat trick.

Doan, the active career leader in two-goal games without a hat trick, scored twice and hit the left post late in the third period as the Coyotes beat the Dallas Stars 5-2 Saturday night.

“It’s one of those things where I’d like to get it but there wouldn’t be a story if I did,” said Doan, who scored two goals for the 35th time. “The first thing is the win. After that you would like to get one but I guess it will come another day.”

Doan played extended shifts in the final minutes and was receiving encouragement from teammates on and off the ice.

“That just shows how much admiration there is from the other players for him when all the players are shouting, ‘shoot, shoot’ just like the fans,” Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said.

Lauri Korpikoski scored a critical short-handed goal early in the third, Keith Yandle had a goal and two assists and Ray Whitney added a goal and an assist for the Coyotes, who won for the second time in three games to move within two points of the Pacific Division-leading Stars.

James Neal and Loui Eriksson scored for the Stars, who have lost three of four.

With the Coyotes leading 3-1, Ed Jovanovski was whistled for a high elbow less than a minute into the third period. Korpikoski took a long outlet pass from Vernon Fiddler, skated down the center of the ice and slid the puck under Andrew Raycroft’s pads with 18:58 to go.

“We take a penalty and if they score it’s 3-2,” Tippett said. “But now it’s 4-1 and it pushes the game along for us.”

Yandle capped an odd-man rush with a goal to give the Coyotes a 5-1 lead with about 9½ minutes remaining. Eriksson scored the Stars’ only powerplay goal on seven chances with 2:24 left.

“We’ve got to converge on the net, have net traffic and keep shooting,” Stars coach Marc Crawford said. “It’s no

VAL D’ISERE, France — Ted Ligety is well on his way to a third World Cup giant slalom title, dominating his rivals Saturday for his second straight victory in this event. Now he’s trying to carry his success to the slalom as well.

The American beat Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway by more than a second in the French Alps resort for his seventh career victory in his favorite event. But to achieve his goal of challenging for the overall World Cup title, Ligety knows he needs to vastly improve his slalom results this season — starting with today’s race.

“I’m definitely working hard to have my slalom back to where it was four years ago, or even a couple of years ago,” Ligety said.

He had six top-three finishes in the discipline between 2006 and 2008 but struggled the last two years. To break his slump, Ligety switched skis during the offseason and did a lot of testing with his new supplier.

“Slalom is so difficult, it’s so tight,” he said. “The equipment setup makes it a lot easier, so we’ll see. It’s not easy to be fast in slalom right now, but I feel like step by step I’m getting closer to where I was.”

In giant slalom, he’s looking better than ever.

Coming off his GS win at Beaver Creek, Colo., last weekend, Ligety had a flawless first leg on the Face de Bellevarde and then pulled out a bold second run to win in the combined time of 2 minutes, 26.26 seconds.

Svindal was 1.05 seconds behind while Massimiliano Blardone of Italy was third, 1.21 back.

“I was very impressed by what Ted did today,” said Svindal, who leads the World Cup standings ahead of Ligety with 236 points, 15 more than his American rival.

“When you’re pulling out two clean runs like he did today, this is normal to have such big margins,” Svindal said. “He has been very clean, with no big mistakes.

It’s hard to get those good results without making mistakes.”

Ted Ligety celebrates in the finish area after winning a men’s World Cup giant slalom race, in Val D’Isere, France, Saturday.

Women’s event called off because of strong winds ST. MORITZ, Switzerland — Strong winds forced race officials to call off the women’s World Cup super-G race Saturday.

After the start was delayed by one hour, just six racers were sent down a shortened Corviglia course before organizers declared a halt to racing.

A makeup race could be staged on Friday at Val d’Isere, creating a three-race meeting at the French resort.

The St. Moritz meet continues with a giant slalom today.

— The Associated Press

U.S. coach Sasha Rearick couldn’t hide his admiration for the skier from Park City, Utah, after seeing him tame the daunting slope with such authority.

“I’ve been coaching Ted a long time and I’ve never seen him just find this kind of confidence,” Rearick said. “He did a great job winning the first run and then in the second run it was the same thing, just perfect execution, true champion style.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Cougars rally for win in girls hoops Bulletin staff report MEDFORD — After losing to South Medford by 36 points on Friday night and then falling behind North Medford 10-0 on Saturday afternoon, it was beginning to look like a lost early-season road trip for the Mountain View girls basketball team.

“It took us forever to get going,” said Cougars coach Steve Riper.

When Mountain View did finally get its offense in gear, just about every girl on the team got in on the action. Led by Kersey Wilcox’s 19 points, nine different Cougars scored on Saturday as Mountain View rallied to defeat host North Medford 65-57.

Asia Jordan added 14 points and Gwenlyn Rogers scored eight. Mountain View held the Black Tornado to just three points in the third quarter, which erased a seven-point halftime deficit and gave the Cougs a three-point advantage. Wilcox hit all 12 of her free throw attempts in the game. and the Cougars were 12 of 13 from the foul line in the fourth quarter.

“For us it was more mental than anything else,” Riper said. “We were fighting through some fatigue.”

Mountain View (3-1) plays at Sandy on Friday.

Jack saw a strategic opportunity for the Gospel: to help with the rebuilding of N. Iraq. He registered Hands of Hope Foundation International (US based) as an Iraqi Kurdistan NGO (non-government organization). Jack has worked with the regional government of Kurdistan doing humanitarian projects in villages throughout the Kurdish region, many of which were destroyed by the former regime. These projects include rural medical outreaches, water projects, irrigation projects and IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) housing projects. These projects open the door of witness and evangelism with the Muslim community. He also works with the small Evangelical Christian Community and is involved with Church Planting in Iraq.

Jack is an ordained pastor, missionary/evangelist with over 36 years experience in 46 different countries. He has served as an Overseer to numerous Churches/Organizations and has successfully planted churches world-wide as well as training and mentoring national pastors. He has also done Healing/Salvation mass evangelism crusades with thousands coming to Christ. He is also an International Church Conference speaker.

DAVID BROOKS

Obama had a very good week

O

ver the past week we’ve seen the big differences between cluster liberals and network liberals.

Cluster liberals (like cluster conservatives) view politics as a battle between implacable opponents. As a result, they believe victory is achieved through maximum unity. Psychologically, they tend to value loyalty and solidarity. They tend to angle toward situations in which philosophical lines are clearly drawn and partisan might can be bluntly applied.

Network liberals share the same goals and emerge from the same movement.

But they tend to believe — the nation being as diverse as it is and the Constitution saying what it does — that politics is a complex jockeying of ideas and interests. They believe progress is achieved by leaders savvy enough to build coalitions.

Psychologically, network liberals are comfortable with weak ties and relationships with people they disagree with.

This contrast is not between lefties and moderates. It’s a contrast between different theories of how politics is done. Ted Kennedy was a network liberal, willing to stray from his preferences in negotiation with George W. Bush or John McCain.

Most House Democrats, by contrast, are cluster liberals. They come from safe seats, have a poor feel for the wider electorate and work in an institution where politics is a war of all against all.

Barack Obama ran for president as a network liberal, and entranced a Facebook nation. But in office, Obama, like George W. Bush before him, narrowed his networks. To get things done quickly, he governed like a cluster liberal, relying on partisan leaders.

The results were predictable: insularity, alienation and defeat. So now we are headed toward divided government.

The climate shows signs of change. Dick Durbin and Tom Coburn boldly embraced the bipartisan fiscal commission process.

Obama opened up a comprehensive set of negotiations with Republican leaders to handle the Bush tax cuts.

The big story of the week is that Obama is returning to first principles, re-establishing himself as a network liberal. This isn’t a move to the center or triangulation.

It’s not the Clinton model or the Truman model or any of the other stale categories people are trying to impose on him. It’s standing at one spot in the political universe and trying to build temporary alliances with people at other spots in the political universe.

You don’t have to abandon your principles to cut a deal. You just have to acknowledge that there are other people in the world and that even a president doesn’t get to stamp his foot and have his way.

Cluster liberals in the House and the commentariat are angry. They have no strategy for how Obama could have better played his (weak) hand with a coming Republican majority, an expiring tax law and several Democratic senators from red states insisting on extending all the cuts. They just sense the waning of their moment and are howling in protest.

They believe nonliberals are blackmailers or hostage-takers or the concentrated repositories of human evil, so, of course, they see coalition-building as collaboration. The fact is, Obama and the Democrats have had an excellent week. The White House negotiators did an outstanding job for their side. With little leverage, they got not only the unemployment insurance, but also an Earned Income Tax Credit provision, a college scholarship provision and other Democratic goodies.

Moreover, Obama has put himself in a position to govern again. The package is popular. According to the most recent Gallup numbers, 67 percent of independents and 52 percent of Democrats support extending all the tax cuts. Higher numbers support extending the unemployment insurance. Obama is reminding independents why they liked him in the first place.

Now he has to bring this networking style to the larger issues. It’s easy to cut a deal that explodes deficits. It’s more difficult to cut one that reduces them. But there are more networks waiting to be built: to reform the tax code; to reduce consumption and expand productivity; to reform entitlements.

Washington doesn’t know how to handle coalition-building anymore; you can see consternation and confusion all around. But did anybody think changing the tone was going to be easy?

In national parks, there is a new threat to rangers: humans

wild lands, urban violence

Dana Romanoff / New York Times News Service

Todd Schmidt, a game warden with the Colorado Division of Wildlife, center, inspects a rifle and checks the hunting licenses of Lee Ramsey, left, and his uncle Jim Ramsey, right, during the opening day of the late hunting season in Golden, Colo. Rangers and wildlife officers are finding they must increasingly confront people with guns.

By Kirk Johnson • New York Times News Service GOLDEN, Colo. —

A

s a game warden for the state of Colorado, Todd Schmidt has a workplace that office drudges the world over might fantasize about: the staggering beauty of the Rocky Mountains.

But underneath his shirt, day in and day out, he also wears a reminder of the dangers: a bulletproof vest.

“Keeps you warm, too,” Schmidt said, patting his chest on a recent cold morning at Golden Gate Canyon State Park, about an hour west of Denver, as the snow-capped peaks of the Continental Divide shimmered in the distance.

Two recent shootings of wildlife officers — one killed in Pennsylvania while confronting an illegal hunter, the other seriously wounded after a traffic stop in southern Utah — have highlighted what rangers and wildlife managers say is an increasingly unavoidable fact. As more and more people live in proximity to forests, parks and other wild-land playgrounds, the human animal, not the wild variety, is the one to watch out for.

“We’re seeing a little bit more of the urban spill into the wild spaces — city violence in the country,” said John Evans, an assistant branch chief of law enforcement operations at the National Park Service.

At this time of year, when hikers give way to hunters, there is a corollary to Evans’ point that would make even the most hardened urban police officer blanch: Weapons are everywhere in these woods.

“I know that everybody I confront has a gun,” said Schmidt, 36, who has five years on the job with the Colorado Division of Wildlife.

Guns also became legal in many national parks this year under a law enacted by Congress in 2009. And many parks and recreation areas have also suffered staff cuts in recent years, reducing the presence of badge-wearing authority figures on patrol.

See Violence / F6

Rangers and wildlife officers ask hunters to provide valid hunting licenses, similar to the one pictured. “I know that everybody I confront has a gun,” said Todd Schmidt, a Colorado game warden.

Union activist vs. job creation

H

e may not win his appeal on merit, but John Williams, the Portlander who is objecting to a biomass plant in La Pine, stands a reasonable chance of victory nonethe-

less. Problem is, if he wins in any way it will be residents of Central Oregon who will lose.

Williams has made a career of fighting projects around the United States on environmental and other grounds. In reality, his beef is with plans to hire nonunion labor; if those who propose a project agree to his demands, the environmental concerns tend to evaporate. Biogreen, the company hoping to put up a biomass energy generating plant in La Pine, has said it will not sign an agreement offered by Williams, and the latter’s appeal is moving ahead. He contends Deschutes County failed to give enough weight to evidence about truck traffic, among other things.

The first step in the appeal came Wednesday, before the La Pine City Council.

There are many steps after that first one that could delay the project by years. The case can be taken to the state Land Use Board of Appeals.

From there it can go to the Oregon Court of Appeals. Each stop along the way adds as much as six months, perhaps more, to construction and, ultimately, operation of the plant.

Meanwhile, various clocks are ticking. The most immediate is the

clock on federal stimulus tax credits: If work has not begun by the end of the current year, the credits simply disappear. Others kick in down the line, and each delay lessens the likelihood that plant ever will be built or begin operating.

In the long run the price of delays would be not only the clean energy the plant would produce, but the 50 jobs it would supply to southern Deschutes County, a region of Central Oregon as hard-hit by the recession as any other.

There’s a short-term cost, as well, however. If the plant, all $75 million worth of it, is not built, local contractors and subcontractors will be denied the opportunity to bid on various parts of the construction.

We have nothing against union membership. We do object to requiring it, however, be it in schools or on building sites. And we especially object to the sorts of coercive tactics Williams is using to attain his goal.

end park district residents got an early Christmas gift this year in the form of a 122-acre addition to the Bend Park & Recreation District’s holdings. The land, on the east side of the Deschutes River on Bend’s north edge, will expand the district’s riverfront acreage by some 20 percent.

The district will pay roughly $2.6 million for the land, just over $21,000 per acre.

It’s a deal that would have been impossible even five years ago. Then the land was valued at $8.7 million, or more than $70,000 per acre. Neither a generous tax base nor unspent systems development charges nor fundraising likely would have been enough to make the purchase possible without additional taxes approved by voters.

In fact, as with many things, while the current economic hard times have made life difficult for some they’ve proved a boon for others, among them the park district. Skyrocketing property prices had made land purchases a dicey proposition even as a rapidly growing population upped the need for public park space. Prices have fall-

When the deal is complete, the district will have added two prime pieces of riverfront property to its holdings in less than a year. en and the district can grow at a price it can afford.

So what will the citizens of Bend get for their money? The land, obviously, though it likely will go undeveloped for a time. When it is developed, they will gain something long sought by the district and others in the region — a large new chunk of trail along the river. Add a bridge across the Deschutes, and runners and others would be able to travel from downtown Bend to Tumalo State Park on an uninterrupted trail. There no doubt will be other benefits, as well.

When the deal is complete, the district will have added two prime pieces of riverfront property to its holdings in less than a year. Combined, they’re a whopping holiday gift to the entire community.

U.S. has lost its moral foundation

he article headlined “Vet barred from campus for essay on killing” is chilling, but should not be viewed as an aberration, one soldier who is a “nut.” Violence is addicting!

Many soldiers have spoken out and confirmed IN MY this sad statistic, but the news rarely makes the main news media, and we are all too eager to shut out news that is too painful to comprehend.

Those convicted of torture at Abu Ghraib spoke of how the tactics they used to hurt, humiliate and destroy those prisoners became addicting. The torture took on a life of its own, simply the joy of torturing, not to discover what the prisoners were hiding. These were not twisted individuals. These were soldiers — men and women taught to regard the enemy as less than human, “ragheads” (was the phrase used in the man’s essay).

A film entitled “The Ground Truth” is a documentary with interviews of soldiers who have affirmed that their training taught them to hate and degrade the enemy and, during their deployment, to commit acts that were unspeakably damaging to their conscience. During their training they chanted as a group: “From the village kill the people, Throw some napalm in the air, Do it on a Sunday morning, Kill them on their way to prayer.

Ring the bell inside the schoolhouse, Watch those kiddies gather round, Lock and load your 240, Mow them little $&*#$ down.”

The film it starts with this quote: “The return from the killing fields is more than a debriefing V I E W … it is a slow ascent from hell,” from James Hillman’s “A Terrible Love of War.” Suicide among our soldiers has skyrocketed. According to Tom Hayden in a February Huffington Post story, “American soldier suicides during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars will reach the 1,000 number this year, if that number has not been exceeded.”

I do believe that there are soldiers who escape the psychological damage war inflicts on many, but we cannot discount the men and women who do not.

We are, whether we acknowledge it or not, a military-industrial nation.

We train our young military people to hate, to destroy, that they are justified in doing so. Do we as a society condone violence against women and children?

Most of us would say no, but statistics here in the U.S. speak otherwise.

And victims of domestic violence can tell you that violence is addicting!

Human trafficking has now created a climate where there are more individuals enslaved today than during the time when slavery was legal in the United States. These individuals do not pick our cotton and plow our fields but are

This is a huge problem in Portland and yes, in Bend.

War begets war, violence begets violence. War does not protect us from evil. Defending ourselves, I believe, is justified in some circumstances, but we have invaded and occupied Iraq, which had nothing to do with 9/11, and Afghanistan, first to seek out 9/11’s mastermind, and now, nine years later, what? As the saying goes. “We are making enemies faster than we can kill them.”

If you want to find out what values a family has, look at where they spend their resources, their time and money.

If you want to find out what values a nation has, look at where they spend their resources, their time and money.

America is going broke because we have compromised our values. We spend our time and resources in the wrong areas. “Turn back, O Man.” And the first step in turning back is to tell ourselves the truth.

Surprise for liberal Dems: Obama’s a little angry at them D GAIL

ear Answerperson: My boyfriend is a liberal Democrat and ever since the president announced his tax deal with the Republicans, he has been impossible to live with. First he burned his “Audacity of Hope” sweater. Then he began messing up the cat’s litter box, claiming he needed to draw “lines in the sand.” Now he wants to call off our wedding because he says that when you put your trust in people, they break your heart.

Miserable Moderate Dear Miserable, Ask your boyfriend if he would rather spend the entire holiday season wondering what Sen. Joe Lieberman will do next and whether Olympia Snowe will vote for cloture. Then he will turn pale and offer to take you out for a nice dinner.

Answerperson Look on the bright side, Democratic base. You’ve been urging President Obama to get really mad. Ever since the inauguration, you’ve been waiting for him to take a stand, point fingers at the people who are blocking progress and demand that they get the heck out of the

road. And this week he did it! Yippee!

Of course, the liberal Democrats did not really plan on his getting mad at the liberal Democrats. But you can’t have everything.

“This isn’t the politics of the moment.

This has to do with what can we get done right now,” the president said heatedly as he defended his tax deal with the Republicans against outrage from the congressional left.

It takes a lot to make Obama incoherent. I think the vision of trying to corral 60 votes in the Senate on the night before Christmas sent him over the brink. The lame-duck Senate has been extremely busy not passing a range of legislation.

The votes on two Democratic proposals to extend the Bush-era tax cuts for everybody but the rich were 53 to 37 and 53 to 36. Of course, under venerable Senate tradition, that means they failed entirely.

It was at that point that Obama announced a deal with the Republicans to salvage unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless and create a sort of ministimulus bill with tax cuts for everybody, including the working poor,

COLLINS besides the dreaded, hated giveaway to the undeserving wealthy.

“The American people are outraged!” said Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. He wanted the president to draw that line in the sand, let the unemployment benefits lapse, the tax code fall into limbo, and hold out until public opinion forced 60 votes to come around.

If you really wanted the American people to rally around no-tax-cuts-forrichies, shouldn’t we have had this conversation before the election? It’s a lot easier to send Washington a message at the polls than on a protest march in a subzero wind-chill factor.

No, we waited until now because the Senate leaders left the timing up to their members who were running for re-election, and the Democrats in question

said they’d rather not have to go on the record.

OK, I’ve got to admit it. I’ve fallen off the line-in-the-sand bandwagon.

For one thing, opposing the ObamaRepublican deal puts you on the same side as Sarah Palin, who sent out one of her twitters from hell on the subject, and Christine O’Donnell, the former Senate candidate. At a tea party meeting on Dec. 7, O’Donnell announced that it was a day of sorrow and “Tragedy comes in threes: Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards’s passing and Barack Obama’s announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits.”

(I am happy to note that O’Donnell has announced that she’s got a book deal and a new political action committee. Really, I don’t know what I’d do if she went away.)

Plus, the Senate has worn me down.

The filibuster rule makes it impossible to do anything more difficult than passing rules against tainted food, and the Democrats have not made any serious attempt to get rid of the filibuster rule.

So work around them, I say.

We have no idea if Obama’s unheroic attempt to get a deal done is going to pass. The Democratic senators who totally failed to exempt the wealthy from a tax-cut extension are outraged at the president for giving up on them.

“This is beyond politics. This is about justice and doing what’s right,” said Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana as she slammed “the almost, you know, moral corruptness” of tax cuts for millionaires.

It was a stirring statement, and would have been even more so if Landrieu had not been one of the few Democrats who actually voted to put the tax cuts on the books in the first place in 2001. Sen. Harry Reid has already warned that members of his caucus “have concerns” that will need to be addressed. He has one himself about legalizing online poker, a matter that the casino interests in his state of Nevada are very excited about.

So this is what it takes to put the drama in Obama.

O The real truth behind higher taxes F

or the last two years, $250,000 in annual income has become an arbitrary line in the sand of a renewed class war. Those above it must alone have their income taxes raised.

Those below are deemed more virtuous and so deserving of a tax cut.

But what exactly is “rich”? Zillionaires such as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates or George Soros surely are. But these wealthiest individuals have so much money at their disposal that they don’t care much about income tax rates.

Their tax lawyers have found ingenious ways to divert millions of what would be owed to Uncle Sam by funding taxfree pet causes, private foundations and favored charities — in a way not true of those who make far less than a million dollars a year.

Is annual income a good gauge of wealth? Who is richer — the architect in Monterey, Calif., who makes $250,000 a year and pays $700,000 for a modest house while picking up the full tab of $40,000 a year for his daughter at a private liberal arts college, or the engineer in Utah making $100,000 a year with a house twice as large at half the cost, with a son on a need-based scholarship at the university? Should annual income alone trump all other consid-

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON erations when the costs of living vary widely by region, and eligibility for billions of dollars in federal and state subsidies is predicated on income levels?

By the same token, what exactly is “poor” in a globalized world of cheap imported TVs, cell phones and hightech gadgetry available to most Americans at Walmart and Target? The middle class has better access to what were once called luxury items than did the super-wealthy just two decades ago.

How do we define tax “cuts”? Were the George W. Bush income tax rates really “cuts” for the rich? Or were they across-the-board cuts only in comparison to the higher Clinton rates? In turn, were the Clinton rates actually “hikes” on top of the George H.W. Bush “hikes”?

Both upped the lower Reagan rates, which in turn had been “cuts” from the higher Carter rates. In fact, every president’s newly adjusted income tax rate

is derided mostly on partisan political grounds as either a counterproductive hike that “kills small business” or an unfair “trickle down” cut.

Income taxes don’t occur in a vacuum.

That the “rich” should pay 39.5 percent on their income might seem justified in isolation. But what about property, state income, payroll and other taxes that together can take up to 65 percent of some incomes in high-tax states?

In addition, income taxes are already graduated, as one pays a higher percentage on income the more one makes. Yet 50 percent of Americans pay no income taxes, while 5 percent of taxpayers pay nearly 60 percent of the total collected.

The result is that half of Americans are likely to favor both higher entitlements that they may well receive and higher income taxes that they most certainly will not pay.

Did the staggering annual national deficit arise from a lack of revenue or out-of-control spending? California manages to have the highest income, sales and gas taxes and the largest deficits. Over the last decade, federal income tax revenue — and budget deficits — increased almost every year.

Income levels are not static. Belonging to the upper brackets is not always a

matter of privilege or inheritance. Some Americans go in and out of the top tax brackets depending on the economy.

Others are “rich” only for a few years in their 50s and 60s — making far less before and after.

If we prefer high rates, we will see either more tax avoidance or a certain reluctance to work an extra day, buy new equipment or hire a new employee — given than any additional income will be mostly eaten up in taxes. Those who make over $250,000 are those who would be more likely to hire new employees, and they usually can do it far more efficiently than the federal government.

Finally, if the goal is to increase federal revenue, then it is wisest to keep taxes as they are. That encourages Americans to make as much as they can, hire and buy, and thereby enrich the nation at large. But if the aim is instead to ensure that we mostly end up about the same, then raising taxes on the already highly taxed might make us more equal — and collectively all poorer as well.

D

can churches seem to be having trouble reaching the people left behind. This is bad news for both Christianity and the country. The reinforcing bonds of strong families and strong religious communities have been crucial to working-class prosperity in America. Yet today, no religious body seems equipped to play the kind of stabilizing role in the lives of the “moderately educated middle” (let alone among high school dropouts) that the early-20th-century Catholic Church played among the ethnic working class.

As a result, the long-running culture war arguments about how to structure family life (Should marriage be reserved for heterosexuals? Is abstinence or “safe sex” the most responsible way to navigate the premarital landscape?) look increasingly irrelevant further down the educational ladder, where sex and childrearing often take place in the absence of any social structures at all.

This, in turn, may be remembered as the great tragedy of the culture war: While college-educated Americans battle over what marriage should mean, much of the country may be abandoning the institution entirely.

FROMA HARROP mandant and the Army chief of staff argued against letting openly gay people fight in combat units serving in Afghanistan. But they tempered their position, opining that such change is inevitable, just not advisable when their units are engaged in deadly operations.

The other opinions don’t really matter. That would include the thoughts of Elaine Donnelly, the high-profile anti-gay-in-the-military activist who founded the so-called Center for Military Readiness in Livonia, Mich. Letting gays serve openly, she told The Washington Post, “would be a strong disincentive for families considering military service for their sons and daughters.”

That is a remarkable thing to say because 1) soldiers are grownups; they decide whether they will join the military, not their mom and dad, and 2) military service is not some whim. The notion that soldiers with the grit to confront Taliban terrorists would melt at anyone’s declaration of sexual preference is both insulting to them and ludicrous.

Adm. Mullen testified: “I went to war with them (gays and lesbians) aboard a destroyer off the coast of Vietnam.

I knew they were there. They knew I

knew it. And what’s more, nearly everyone in the crew knew it. We never missed a mission, never failed to deliver ordnance on target.”

Israel allows openly gay personnel in its tightest combat units. The armies of Canada, Britain, Australia and the Netherlands don’t require soldiers to hide their sexual preferences, and they have fought alongside ours.

If this whole issue bores you to stupefaction, you are forgiven. Some older people may have trouble adjusting to a new social reality in which homosexuality is no big deal. But there’s no stopping the march of progress. I recall

passing two guys holding hands at the Omaha airport a couple of years ago and thinking: The days of persecuting gays are so over.

Ditching “don’t ask, don’t tell” would end another form of discrimination while giving the armed services more fighters to choose from. And it would end the year 2010 with one less pointless thing to argue about. Let’s tack “don’t ask, don’t tell” on the Smithsonian’s wall of artifacts and move on to almost any other subject.

Traditional marriage and the evolving culture wars

F

or a long time, the contours of America’s culture war seemed relatively straightforward. On one side was the country’s growing educated class, who tended to be secular, permissive and favorably disposed to the sexual revolution. On the other side were the social conservatives of middle America — benighted yahoos or virtuous yeomen, depending on your point of view, but either way a less-educated and more pious demographic, with more traditional attitudes on sexuality and family.

Decades of punditry, pop sociology and prejudice have been premised on this neat division — from the religious right’s Reagan-era claim to be a “Moral Majority” oppressed by a secular elite, to Barack Obama’s unfortunate description of heartland America “clinging” to religion. Like any binary, it oversimplified a complicated picture. But as a beginner’s guide to the culture war, the vision of white-collar social liberals and blue-collar cultural conservatives was, for a substantial period, more accurate than not.

That may no longer be the case. This week, the National Marriage Project is releasing a study charting the decline of the two-parent family among what it calls the “moderately educated middle” — the 58 percent of Americans with high school diplomas and often some college education, but no four-year degree.

This decline is depressing, but it isn’t surprising. We’ve known for a while that America has a marriage gap: College graduates divorce infrequently and bear few children out of wedlock, while in the rest of the country unwed parenthood and family breakdown are becoming a

ROSS DOUTHAT new normal. This gap has been one of the paradoxes of the culture war: Highly educated Americans live like Ozzie and Harriet despite being cultural liberals, while middle America hews to traditional values but has trouble living up to them.

But the Marriage Project’s data suggest that this paradox is fading. It’s no longer clear that middle America does hold more conservative views on marriage and family, or that educated Americans are still more likely to be secular and socially liberal.

That division held a generation ago, but now it’s diminishing. In the 1970s, for instance, college-educated Americans overwhelmingly supported liberal divorce laws, while the rest of the country was ambivalent. Likewise, college graduates were much less likely than high school graduates to say that premarital sex was “always wrong.” Flash forward to the 2000s, though, and college graduates have grown more socially conservative on both fronts (50 percent now favor making divorces harder to get, up from 34 percent in the age of key parties), while the least educated Americans have become more permissive.

There has been a similar change in religious practice. In the 1970s, col-

It’s no longer clear that middle America does hold more conservative views on marriage and family, or that educated Americans are still more likely to be secular and socially liberal. lege-educated Americans were slightly less likely to attend church than high school graduates. Today, piety increasingly correlates with education: College graduates are America’s most faithful churchgoers, while religious observance has dropped precipitously among the less-educated.

In part, these shifts may be a testament to the upward mobility of religious believers. America’s college-educated population probably looks more conservative and (relatively speaking) more religious because religious conservatives have become better-educated. Evangelical Christians, in particular, are now one of America’s best-educated demographics, as likely to enroll their children in an SAT prep course as they are to ship them off to Bible camp.

This means that a culture war that’s often seen as a clash between liberal elites and a conservative middle America looks more and more like a conflict within the educated class — pitting Wheaton and Baylor against Brown and Bard, Redeemer Presbyterian Church against the 92nd Street Y, C.S. Lewis devotees against the Philip Pullman fan club.

But as religious conservatives have climbed the educational ladder, Ameri-

Mobile money for the poor ST.-MARC, Haiti — ash is so 20th century.

I’ve been experimenting with a 21st-century alternative, using money on a cell phone account to buy goods in shops. It’s a bit like using a credit card, but the system can also enable you to use your cell phone account to transfer money to individuals or companies domestically or internationally. And it’s more secure because a thief would have to steal not only your phone but also your PIN to get access to your money.

What’s really astonishing, though, is the site of my experimentation with “mobile money.” Not in the banking capitals of New York City or London, but in this remote Haitian town of St.-Marc.

Mercy Corps, through a U.S. government-financed program, is providing food for people here in St.-Marc who have taken in earthquake survivors. The standard method would be to hand out bags of rice, or vouchers. Instead, Mercy Corps will be pushing a button once a month, and $40 will automatically go into each person’s cell phone savings account — redeemable at local merchants for rice, corn flour, beans or cooking oil.

I took one of these phones and walked into a humble little grocery shop with no electricity — “Rosie Boutique,” named for the owner’s little daughter — and became the first person to make a cell phone purchase there. I typed the codes into my phone, and then both my phone and the store’s phone received instantaneous text messages saying that the transfer was complete. The food was now mine.

“It doesn’t get any cooler than this,” said Kokoevi Sossouvi, the Mercy Corps program manager. She’s right — and the technology isn’t just cool, but could be a breakthrough in chipping away at global poverty.

You see, the world’s poor face a problem even bigger than being fleeced by bankers. It’s being ignored by bankers.

Most poor people around the world don’t have access to banks. In particular, one of the biggest challenges for the poor is how to save money. The poor often have money coming in just a few times a year — after a harvest, or after a temporary job of picking coffee beans — but each time they have no way to save it.

Banks typically won’t accept tiny deposits. In West Africa, private money dealers accept deposits, but they charge 40 percent annual interest rates on them.

So money is more likely to be kept under a mattress, and stolen or squandered.

That’s why the most powerful idea in microfinance isn’t microloans, but microsavings — helping the poor safely store their money. And mobile phones offer a low-cost way to make microsavings feasible and extend financial services to the poor. About three-fourths of Haitians have access to a mobile phone, and similar numbers are found in many poor parts of the world.

Kenya has been a leader in mobile money, but many other developing countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas are jumping on board as well. For the poor, mobile telephones could have as profound an impact on finance — on banking the unbanked — as they have on communications.

One terrific poverty-fighting organization in Haiti, Fonkoze, is also expanding into financial services through mobile phones. It is implementing a system whereby Haitians in America will be able to use cell phones to send unlimited remittances to the phones of relatives back in Haiti. On the Haitian side, the recipient of the money would be able to go into any Fonkoze branch and cash out — or, better yet, use the remittance as the start of a savings account.

Nothing goes as planned in the developing world, and that’s true of mobile banking. Many people in the program here in St.-Marc are illiterate and have trouble mastering the codes, and the first time I tried a transaction I lost a cell signal.

But Robin Padberg, the chief executive of the Voila cell phone company that Mercy Corps is working with, says that early in the new year the mobile money system will be expanded so that anyone will be able to make purchases, put money into a mobile phone account or take cash out.

And someday, I’m pretty sure, I’ll engage in as sophisticated a financial transaction as Haitians — say, walking into a deli and buying a pastrami on rye with my BlackBerry — without even leaving Manhattan.

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ must end soon on’t ask, don’t tell — don’t know why we’re still talking about this. “Don’t ask, don’t tell” is the rule barring openly gay soldiers from serving in the U.S. military. This relic of the culture wars is so past its prime that even Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh don’t spend much time whipping it up.

The waning days of the lame-duck Congress offer an opportunity to cross at least one item off the checklist of time-consuming issues of small national consequence. The House passed repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in May, and there seem to be enough votes for it in the Senate, but the Senate must find time to do the deed. The next session of Congress will further empower a Republican leadership less motivated to give up a matter that lets it throw an occasional raw hamburger to a shrinking but fervent segment of social conservatives — and at no cost to taxpayers.

It was feared that the struggle over the expiring Bush-era tax cuts might crowd out a quick burial of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” With that apparently taken care of, there seems to be time to administer the last rites.

President Obama, most Democrats and some Republicans support getting rid of “don’t ask, don’t tell.” A recently released Pentagon study found little utility in extending it. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen testified that openly gay soldiers pose no threat to America’s military readiness.

BERWYN, Pa. — David Eisenhower’s new book, “Going Home to Glory: A Memoir of Life with Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961-1969,” offers many poignant, illuminating stories. This one stands out: It was Thanksgiving 1967, and he and Julie, both all of 19, had just gotten engaged.

David Eisenhower knew that his grandfather was fond of Julie Nixon — he called the daughter of his former vice president “an angel” — but he also knew that his grandfather thought marriage should wait until David was older and more “established.” After all, Ike had married Mamie at the ripe and seasoned age of nearly 26.

Moreover, Ike was more than “Granddad.” He was General Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, two-term president of the United States — principled, disciplined, often stern and forbidding.

For two days, David procrastinated, trying to summon the courage to break the news. On the day David was to return to college, Ike summoned him to his bedroom. Grandfather and grandson made perfunctory small talk but mostly sat in uneasy silence. Thirty minutes passed.

“I choked,” David recalled during a recent interview at his home in Berwyn. “I couldn’t do it.”

Back at Amherst, David received a letter from the five-star general, acknowledging his grandson’s engagement to Julie and registering his delight: “You are both the kind of people who will, throughout your lives, enrich America. Moreover, a love, shared by two young and intelligent people, is one of heaven’s greatest gifts to humanity.”

Ike concluded by declaring: “I’m not only proud that you are my grandson, but my friend as well — to whom I give my deepest affection.”

“A treasure,” David Eisenhower calls the letter today. “My greatest gift.”

5. “Hungry for You” by Lynsay Sands (Avon)

Like the book itself, the letter, and the story behind it, “rounds out the picture of a great man whose like we would not see again,” as David writes.

Indeed, the chief problem with Dwight Eisenhower is that his image was indistinct while he was alive, David says, and in death he has become “marbleized,” a hero scrubbed of his humanity.

While Ike may have been formidable and undemonstrative, he could also be compassionate and tender. While he may have been famous for his winning grin and passion for golf, he was also deeply principled and thoughtful. At news conferences, especially after his 1957 stroke, he may have seemed awkward and tongue-tied, but, on paper, he expressed himself with eloquence and was capable of phrases of biblical majesty.

Some books are written from the head; others, from the heart.

“Going Home to Glory” (Simon & Schuster, $28), which David Eisenhower composed with ample assistance from his wife, Julie, is both, though it tilts pleasingly toward the latter.

“I grow up, and he grows old,” David says, summarizing the narrative.

Christmas books for grown-ups The game’s afoot for Holmes creator, 21st-century admirer

By Allen Pierleoni

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The holiday season is the time of year when publishers deluge the marketplace with seasonal children’s books. And why not? They make fine stocking stuffers.

And what about holidaythemed books for adults?

They’re on bookshelves, too, as this sampling shows.

“The Sherlockian”

by Graham Moore (Twelve, 368 pgs., $24.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill

Fiction

Sun Sentinel (Florida)

Ever since Sherlock Holmes was born out of the imagination of his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, in 1887, the brilliant London-based “consulting detective” has never gone out of style.

Holmes, with his acute reasoning, may even be more popular now thanks to the Baker Street Irregulars members, the expanded Sherlock Holmes Museum in London and even the 21st-century re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes that recently aired on PBS. But Doyle grew sick of his hero, who had become more popular — and to some more real — than the author himself. When Doyle tried to “kill” Holmes by pitching him over Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland in 1893, England literally went into mourning and Doyle was vilified as if he were Moriarty himself.

The fascination with Sherlock Holmes today and during the time that Doyle was writing those stories makes for the subject of a clever debut for Graham Moore, a 28-year-old expert in religious history. Switching between two centuries, “The Sherlockian” works as an insightful look at the rise of celebrities, extreme fans and a character who continues to be bigger than life as well as a testament to the power of storytelling.

In 1893, Doyle longed to be remembered for writing “real literature,” not the “few morbid yarns” about Holmes. Forget that Holmes had brought Doyle more fame and fortune than he could ever have achieved with his other work.

He’s tired of receiving letters addressed to Holmes, of strangers seeking the great detective’s help, or being asked to sign books as Holmes, rather than with his own name. But he’s equally unprepared for the outcry when he supposedly kills his character — the obituaries that treat Holmes as a real person; the throng of people wearing black armbands and the strangers who accost the author, demanding to know why he “murdered” Holmes.

“The Mischief of the Mistletoe” by Lauren Willig (Dutton, 352 pgs., $19.95): The charming Regency-era “Pink Carnation” series continues, with Christmas shenanigans involving international intrigue and romance set in Regency-era England. Bonus: Jane Austen

In 2010, introverted Harold White has just been admitted into the prestigious Baker Street Irregulars during their annual New York banquet. The highlight of the dinner is to be the unveiling of Doyle’s lost diary — until the scholar who supposedly has the book is murdered.

The game’s afoot, as the greatest detective would say, and the shadow of “What would Sherlock Holmes do?” hangs heavily over both Doyle and White. To prove that he is the better man, Doyle sets out to solve a series of murders of young women. His Watson is his good friend Bram Stoker, a theater manager who worries that his little novel about Dracula will never catch on.

White is hired by Doyle’s greatgrandson to solve the scholar’s murder and retrieve the diary.

White’s sidekick is more of an Irene Adler — a female journalist with a few secrets.

Moore deftly alternates “The Sherlockian” between his two heroes who are working in two time periods on two continents.

Yet both men rely on Holmes’ style of crime solving. Moore smoothly delivers an evocative view of late-19th century London as well as its 21st century version. The endearingly nerdy White is perfectly balanced by the arrogant and often priggish Doyle.

Doyle would be proud of Moore’s ingenious “The Sherlockian.” So would Holmes.

As will any fan of the Holmes canon.

‘The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman’ is a fun, comedic yarn for middle school students “The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman”

by Ben H. Winters (HarperCollins, 256 pgs., $16.99)

By Susan Carpenter Los Angeles Times

Teachers occupy a peculiar place in children’s minds, especially for elementary and middle school students. Who are these people after they set down their dry-erase markers and lock up their classrooms? Are they as boring as their button-down shirts would indicate? Or might they be leading double lives?

That’s the comedic idea behind “The Secret Life of Ms. Finkleman,” a novel for middle school students from Ben H. Winters, who updated Jane Austen’s classic in the 2009 literary mash-up “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.”

With her mousy brown hair and conservative clothing, Ms. Finkleman is so ordinary as to be invisible. She isn’t a good teacher, nor is she bad. When her seventh-grade students dutifully tread into choral class, they sing “Greensleeves” and other traditional English folk ballads competently but with little joy or inspiration.

It’s only when pigtailed Bethesda Fielding decides to make Ms. Finkleman the subject of a social studies assignment — to find a mystery and solve it — that this eight-year veteran of Mary Todd Lincoln Middle School comes

under the microscope. While Bethesda’s classmates investigate why hot dogs are sold in packs of 12 when their buns are sold in bundles of eight, and why a mother is no longer talking to an uncle, the 12-year-old, straight-A Bethesda is convinced an even greater mystery exists in a teacher who seems so utterly blase.

Bethesda’s questioning of the librarian and home economics instructor comes up with nothing. But when she queries her pre-algebra instructor, she stumbles upon her first clue: Ms. Finkleman has a tattoo on her arm, a tattoo that appears to be of Ozzy Osbourne.

Bethesda continues her investigation at Ms. Finkleman’s desk.

She finds nothing but a pencil sharpener and a bowl of clementines, until she uncovers a scrap of paper in a bottom drawer listing acronyms that scream to be deciphered.

Bethesda calls upon her dad, a reformed hipster who once fronted an indie rock band in Brooklyn. Together, they figure out the paper is actually a set list for the all-girl punk-rock band Little Miss Mystery and the Red Herrings.

With “The Secret Life,” Winters, who is a teacher himself, applies a light touch that fuses youthful, scholarly exuberance with the inspirational power of rock ’n’ roll. Together, they’re a potent force for bringing together kids of disparate skills and temperaments in a fast-paced and unjaded book that is sure to delight.

makes an appearance.

Memoir “In the Dark Streets Shineth”

by David McCullough (Shadow Mountain, 56 pgs., $19.99): Pulitzer Prize-winning historian McCullough offers a triple

whammy: a recollection of the “messages of hope” delivered on Christmas Eve of 1941 at the White House by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (with photos); a DVD of McCullough presenting the story at a Christmas concert featuring the Mormon Tabernacle Choir; and the histories of the songs “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.”

TOM CLANCY RETURNS

Osama-like terrorist fuels sprawling plot 15th novel filled with suspense, intrigue, fascinating details “Dead or Alive”

by Tom Clancy with Grant Blackwood (G.P. Putnam’s Sons, 950 pgs., $28.95)

By Tim Rutten Los Angeles Times

OK, so apart from those genuinely saintly souls sent by Providence as examples to the rest of us, is there anyone with a pulse in this country who wouldn’t like to see Osama bin Laden dead?

Should he yet fall into our hands, even this writer — an implacable opponent of capital punishment — sees no reason to take the evil SOB alive.

That’s the animating fantasy at the heart of Tom Clancy’s sprawling but propulsive new thriller, “Dead or Alive,” his 15th novel since he exploded like a cluster bomb onto best-seller lists with “The Hunt for Red October” in 1984. In recent years, his equally sprawling $100 million book, film and game empire has come to rely increasingly on “collaborators,” one of whom — Grant Blackwood, a veteran of Clive Cussler’s similar operation — is credited here.

Still, this latest book, like the most interesting of Clancy’s work, has a tendency to both pander to popular fantasy (in this case, revenge) and, simultaneously, to play against it with hard-headed insights into the real world of military and intelligence operations.

It’s a fruitful tension that lends his books a quirky, appealing unpredictability that sometimes can survive even the author’s eye-rolling politics.

Clancy fans may regard “Dead or Alive” as rather like one of those NBA “dream teams” they throw together for the Olympics; win, lose or draw — it’s fun to see them all on the court. This time, the best characters from all Clancy’s previous novels are on the case, including Jack Ryan and his son, Jack Ryan Jr.; the deadly John Clark (Jack senior’s darker half); the Caruso brothers, Dominic and Brian; the ace intelligence analyst Mary Pat Foley; and even

Clark’s protege, Ding Chavez.

Their quarry is the “Emir,” a bin Laden-like terrorist in hiding after a series of horrific attacks on the United States by his al-Qaidalike network.

The elder Ryan, a onetime naval intelligence and CIA analyst, now is the recently retired president — don’t ask about the series of catastrophic improbabilities that thrust him into that job — and the rest of the cast works for a super-secret black operations agency, the Campus, that he created. It’s a self-funding (translation: no congressional or executive oversight) group with a secret charter to hunt down and kill anyone it deems a terrorist or terrorist collaborator. It operates completely on its own and its personnel were provided by then-President Ryan with blank advance pardons to ward off prosecutions. Essentially, the Campus and its crew are what British intelligence used to plainly call “a murder gang.” It’s a kind of crypto-fascist wet dream run by preternaturally wise heroes and without legal restraints or personal compunction.

It hardly matters, because they always know who the bad guys are and just when and where to shoot. In this instance, a series of electronic intercepts and incremental intelligence coups revive the hunt for the Emir ongoing since 9/11. It’s clear he’s plotting some devastating new operation, but just how broad its scope and how nefarious its hall-of-mirrors implications are unfolds clearly only at the end of the breakneck narrative. It’s not giving too much away to say that one of the conceits with which the plot is playing is how things might proceed, if the Emir/bin Laden were not hiding in Pakistan’s tribal hinterlands but somewhere ingeniously in plain sight.

The author always has had a knack for situating his successful thrillers in territory that’s not simply physically topical, but politically — or, at least, emotionally — contested. Thus, “Dead or Alive” is infused with not only

the strategic and tactical settings of the “war on terror,” but also a healthy dose of “tea party” politics, including distaste for elite institutions and opinions.

The president who has succeeded Ryan is a wimpy, meanspirited aristocratic lefty with nothing better to do than unwind Jack’s successful tax policies and mindlessly assert civilian control over the military. His whiningly ineffectual, equally small-minded advisers are introduced with the names of their Ivy League alma maters — this one from Harvard, this one from Yale. Seldom has a good education been presented as such a morally, intellectually crippling handicap.

On the other hand, Clancy’s deep research into contemporary military and intelligence practices often spins his stories in unexpectedly realistic directions. When one of the redoubtable Mary Pat Foley’s colleagues makes an offhand remark about the efficacy of waterboarding, for example, it sets off an internal reverie — there are lots of such digressions in this novel’s nearly 1,000 pages — on how torture is “of little use in the real world” because it doesn’t “produce reliable and verifiable information. More often than not, it was a waste of time. … The ‘ticking bomb’ scenario so casually batted about was … was beyond rare, a Hollywood concoction.”

(But none of that keeps Mary Pat’s comrades from treating a particular “high-value asset” whom they capture with ingenious sadism.)

Going back to his first published novel, Clancy’s bread and butter has been the details of military technologies and hardware — it’s one of the things that has given him a devoted following among serving members of the armed forces — and there’s plenty of that in “Dead or Alive.” If one of Clancy’s operatives has a handgun, it’s described right down to the make and laser sight, whose various options also are exhaustively explored.

For fans of the genre, “Dead or Alive” is likely to provide a long weekend’s pleasure — something, perhaps, for the person in your life still sufficiently in touch with his mayhem-inclined inner child to enjoy watching the Military Channel.

Thrills of small-town life take center stage “The Hanging Tree”

by Bryan Gruley (Touchstone, 336 pgs., $15)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel (Florida)

A newspaper editor’s investigation into a distant cousin’s alleged suicide jump-starts the plot of Bryan Gruley’s enthralling second novel.

But just as he did in his awardwinning debut, Gruley seamlessly delivers a multifaceted story about an economically depressed community, residents who know too much about each other’s history and secrets that can destroy a family or a town. “The Hanging

Tree” also works well as a tale about desperation, the newspaper industry and just enough hockey lore to spike the story but not overwhelm it.

Briskly paced with in-depth character studies, “The Hanging Tree” surpasses even Gruley’s first novel, “Starvation Lake,” which recently won the Barry and the Anthony awards.

In “The Hanging Tree,” the Michigan town of Starvation Lake desperately needs a new hockey rink to reclaim its glory days when it had a team that attracted tourists and businesses.

So the city council is thrilled when millionaire lawyer Laird Haskell

promises to build a first-class facility with his own money. Laird’s generosity isn’t totally altruistic.

He wants a place for his son, Taylor, to play.

Starvation Lake hasn’t seen a goalie as promising as Taylor since newspaper editor Gus Carpenter played more than 20 years ago. Gus makes enemies when his investigative stories question Haskell’s finances. Even his own newspaper doesn’t support him as the owners have killed more of his stories than have been printed.

In “The Hanging Tree,” Gruley evocatively shows how desperate times can drive people to commit desperate measures.

A deer is illuminated in the headlights of a Colorado Division of Wildlife vehicle as day breaks on the opening day of the late hunting season in Golden, Colo. Due to the increase in gun-toting humans on public lands, many wildlife agencies have added new equipment and training for officers.

Violence Continued from F1 But rangers and wildlife workers say the key variable defining the job has not changed: Because of the vast distances to be covered, especially in the West, every ranger is a solo act.

In the lonely, beautiful places where they work, knowing when to walk away, or run, rangers say is Lesson One. Fifteen wildlife or park employees have been killed on duty, most of them by gunshot, since 1980, according to the North American Wildlife Enforcement Officers Association.

“A huge portion of it is gut instinct,” said Jacob Dewhirst, 26, a Colorado State Park ranger who works in western Colorado, where checks on hunters’ or fishermen’s licenses often take place in the lonely back country.

Many wildlife agencies have responded to the heightened dangers with new equipment and training. Since 2007, National Park rangers in many parks have been equipped with Tasers that can immobilize a would-be attacker.

Schmidt has an AR-15 semiautomatic assault-style rifle in his truck and a computer on the dash that can — in ways old-time rangers never knew

— check a vehicle license plate before a ranger’s first approach.

But rangers and wardens also inhabit a mixture of roles that they say can sometimes makes them more vulnerable. They are ambassadors and stewards of a public resource, and most have backgrounds in some aspect of the natural sciences. But they also have full police authority, up to and including using lethal force if necessary.

Evans described it as a duality: “A nice guy, prepared for an idiot who is ready to do me harm.”

For Schmidt, who has a degree in wildlife biology, that balancing act — welcoming and wary — comes down to always having a clear line of retreat. Whenever he stops to check a vehicle or speak to a hunter, his truck door is always left open, the engine running.

What has made the recent shootings even more chilling to many rangers is that events unfolded from encounters of the sort officers do all the time. In the Utah case, the gunman, who has still not been caught, apparently opened fire when a Utah State Parks ranger, Brody Young, 34, approached after a traffic stop.

In the Pennsylvania case, David Grove, 31, was killed after he confronted a man hunting illegally with a spotlight, which makes deer and other animals disoriented and easier to shoot.

“It’s very easy to comprehend

exactly what David was dealing with at the time of the shooting,” said Richard Johnston, a regional law enforcement zone officer with the Fish and Wildlife Service, who traveled from his home in Kansas to attend Grove’s funeral.

For some officers, like Ty Petersburg, who manages a heavily used district west of Denver for the Division of Wildlife, the line between urban crime and wildlife crime gets blurred all the time.

A couple of years ago, Petersburg began following a suspicious-looking vehicle on Interstate 70 — a pursuit that led all the way into the suburbs of Denver, where the driver leaped from his car to attack. Minutes later, perhaps 30 local and county police officers arrived in a sirenscreaming swirl of backup that Petersburg, 31, had summoned by radio. It was a familiar scene: the police helping out their own.

More often, he said, it is the opposite case, where help is willing in spirit but impossible in practice. Earlier this fall, for example, Petersburg was in a mountain region in the middle of nowhere and came upon a vehicle driven by a man with outstanding arrest warrants on his name and lots of cocaine in his car. He again called for backup. “ ‘We’d like to come help you,’ ” he quoted the nearest big urban county sheriff’s office as saying, “ ‘but we don’t have a clue where you’re at.’ ”

Buy Duck, feel good in many ways

Q

uack.

It’s not often one can start a business column like that. But it’s not often the Oregon Ducks play for a national championship in football. In fact, it’s the first time.

And that’s why The Duck Store in Bend, and Duck Stores in Eugene and greater Portland, are paddling at top speed to keep up with demand for all things Duck leading up to the big game against Auburn University on Jan. 10.

Sportswear, including that marking the so-far perfect season and big game, has been flying off Duck Stores’ shelves.

And if the Ducks beat the Tigers, the next wave of merchandise staking claim to No. 1 will keep customers flocking to the stores well into the new year. It’s exciting for University of Oregon alumni and fans (count me among both, underscored by a Eugene birth certificate).

All the business cycling through the stores got me wondering about this big green merchandise machine. Jim Williams, general manager of the University of Oregon Bookstore, which does business as The Duck Store, provided some history and background last week.

First, it’s a nonprofit corporation. It operates seven Duck Stores in Oregon (Bend’s alone east of the Cascades), Precious Cargo Store at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Court Café at the Knight Law School and uoduckstore.com.

“Our basic mission is to serve the academic needs of the university,” said Williams, who’s been GM since 1976 and is only the third GM for the organization since 1920. The organization, owned by the students, faculty and classified staff of the university, organized as a cooperative and operated that way until 1972, when it changed to a nonprofit corporation, he wrote. It changed its name to The Duck Store in 2007.

The Duck Store, in part, seeks to provide students, faculty and staff the benefit of its nonprofit structure, its mission statement notes.

Kimberly Brophy, manager of The Duck Store in the Old Mill District, said she makes it a point to tell at least one customer a day the store is nonprofit, something customers seem to appreciate knowing.

“It’s great to know that we can give back to the students and give back to the university,” she said Thursday, a day after the Bend store had received 70 boxes of new game-related merchandise, with more expected to arrive each day.

Williams noted the organization annually gives back to the campus more than $1 million in discounts on course materials, making it “one of the only college stores in the country that give money directly back through text discounts,” he wrote.

It also pays about $1 million in wages to students who work at the various stores, he noted.

“Our big priority is hiring students,” Williams said. The organization, on average, has about 200 employees, roughly 90 full-time and 110 part-time, most of the latter being students. With the holidays, extended hours and big game merchandise rush, the organization’s up to about 400 employees.

Brophy normally has five to six employees: two full-time, including herself, and three to four part-time. Now, she has 18 and is adding two more this week who are UO students home on break.

The organization also gives about $1 million back to the university in rental payments on stores, such as The Duck Store at the Moshofsky Center (the team’s indoor practice facility), “concessions we do for athletics, support we give to campus organizations and various sponsorships,” Williams wrote.

So how busy will the next month be?

He guesses the stores could sell 200,000 pieces of Duck apparel, which includes everything, not just bowl merchandise. “It’s a meaningful increase in our sportswear line of business,” he said.

In general, the organization’s business is roughly 33 percent sportswear; 30 percent books; 30 percent technology (selling computers, etc.); followed by other goods, food and drinks, he said.

In Bend, “it’s going to be just nonstop” over the next month, Brophy said. “To be able to be a part of this excitement is an experience in itself … and, Go Ducks.”

Let’s hope Duck Stores are even busier after Jan. 10 than they are today.

For some unemployed Central Oregonians,

homelessness has come knocking

oxanne and Jonathan Ueland had jobs in California. She worked in corrections and her husband earned a living working for a contractor building Home Depot stores around the country. But Jonathan Ueland didn’t like being away from the family so he jumped at the chance to come to Bend in 2007 to make money painting houses.

“It seemed like a wonderful opportunity,” Roxanne Ueland said. “We had a cousin who was making $10,000 a week painting houses and couldn’t keep up with all the work, so we decided to come to Bend and paint houses.

“Everything was going great for the first six months to a year, then everything just stopped. Everybody stopped building houses, and there was no more work,” added Roxanne Ueland, 32.

Since their arrival in Bend in 2007, the Ueland family has grown from three to five, with children ages 2, 3 and 10.

“I haven’t worked since 2007, and my husband hasn’t worked in more than a year,” she said. “We had a big SUV and a house. Now it’s all gone.”

Without jobs or money to pay rent, the Uelands wound up homeless.

The Uelands aren’t alone in their struggles to survive without jobs during these tough economic times. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Dec. 3 reported a total of 3.4 million job openings nationwide in October, far fewer than the 14.8 million unemployed workers. There are no jobs for three out of four job seekers, according to the report.

Homeless counts rise In Central Oregon, the annual One Night Shelter Count Report conducted every year in January by the Homeless Leadership Coalition shows homeless populations have soared along with unemployment in the region.

There were 2,402 homeless people reported in 2010 in the tri-county region (Crook, Jefferson and Deschutes counties), up from 2,237 in 2009 and 1,736 in 2008. A total of 2,010 homeless were counted in 2007, marking a big jump from 1,344 homeless reported in 2006.

During the period from 2006 through 2010, about three-fourths of the homeless people reported in the tri-county region were in Deschutes County, according to annual reports provided by the Homeless Leadership Coalition and NeighborImpact, which participates in the counts.

Holograms bringing 3-D perspective to movies, military and architecture

By Anne Eisenberg New York Times News Service

When the famous hologram of Princess Leia says, “Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi,” in “Star Wars,” it’s science fiction. Now you can watch actual moving holograms that are filmed in one spot and then projected and viewed in another.

“The hologram is about the size and resolution of Princess Leia in the movie,” said Nasser Peyghambarian, an optical scientist at the University of Arizona and leader of a research team that recently demonstrated the technology, reported in the Nov. 4 issue of Nature.

The holograms aren’t as speedy as those in Hollywood. The princess moves a lot more haltingly, as the display changes only every two seconds, far slower than, for example, video sailing past at 30 frames a second. But unlike science fiction, these holograms are actually happening and in close to real time: A fellow is filmed in one room, the computer-processed data is sent via Ethernet to another room, and then laser beams go to work. Voila: His holographic telepresence appears and moves, albeit somewhat jerkily, in apparently solid detail (until you try to put a hand through him).

Innovative research in holography is going on at labs and companies worldwide, said Lisa Dhar, a senior technology manager at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, who is an expert in holographic materials.

Let the features do the talking

By Bridget Carey McClatchy-Tribune News Service

E-readers are getting a lot of attention this holiday season.

Prices have dropped, leaving some great choices out there for under $200. I’ve reviewed three top-of-the-line e-readers that use E Ink screen technology: Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble’s Nook and Sony Reader Pocket Edition.

A number of other color-screen tablets also offer e-books, including the iPad, Galaxy Tab or the new Nook Color. But this review is for folks who simply want to read books on an easy-on-youreyes E Ink screen.

The devices are lightweight and don’t use much power because the screen isn’t backlit, so the battery lasts for several days (in some cases, several weeks). Unlike a typical computer screen, these are easy to read in sunlight.

Amazon has been in the ebookstore game longer than Sony or Barnes & Noble, so it’s got a leg up in terms of the number of publications available. But the three stores are fairly comparable when it comes to number of new releases and free classics.

With the Kindle, Nook and Reader, there are no winners and losers; after testing, it’s clear that each is a great buy.

Holograms Continued from G1 “Groups are deploying new materials and methods to create compelling work” of both still and moving holograms, Dhar said.

The work has implications beyond the laboratory, she said.

We may need to wait a decade before watching holographic movies at home. But even before the technology is practical for games and entertainment, it promises applications in advertising, the military, architecture and engineering.

Zebra Imaging in Austin, Texas, sells holographic prints that at first glance look much like ordinary 2-by-3-foot pieces of plastic — until an LED flashlight is shined at them. Then the patterns, burned into the plastic with high-power laser beams, come to life, said Al Wargo, chief executive. Out of the surface springs a model of a complicated building or an intricate network of pipes and mechanical equipment.

No special eyewear is required to view the holographic prints, which typically cost $1,000 to $3,000 each. The company has also demonstrated moving holographic displays in prototype at conferences, Wargo said.

Zebra’s main customer has been the Defense Department, which sends data in computer files to the company. Zebra then

renders holographic displays of, for example, battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Businesses are also Zebra customers, including FMC Technologies in Houston, which uses holograms of oil field equipment for sales and training.

Adam Andrich, global marketing manager for fluid control at FMC, says holograms are handy substitutes when the company wants to demonstrate its 50,000-pound equipment at trade shows.

“The holograms are a lot lighter,” he said, and they create a striking effect as they rise in shimmering volume in the air.

“They are so realistic that every time we show them, people try to grab them,” he said.

Holographic prints may also find use among architects and engineers. Tina Murphy, a project engineer at the firm HNTB in Indianapolis, says she uses extensive three-dimensional computer modeling to plan before construction, but holograms can also help to communicate, particularly with a group. “We can show them to plant operators, lawyers, regulators and engineers,” she said. “With this one visual image, we can all communicate.”

The holograms are an inexpensive alternative to bulky, often fragile physical models of wood or polystyrene, says Jared Smith, a senior vice president at Parsons Brinckerhoff in Seattle, an engineering, planning and architecture firm.

Cards’ high season muted by Web

By Sandra Pedicini

This holiday season, the average American will spend $26.10 on cards and postage.

The Orlando Sentinel

WINTER PARK, Fla. — An upscale clientele tends to frequent the 30-year-old Paper Shop on Park Avenue here, where much of the business comes from wedding invitations.

Owner Ellen Prague said everyone’s been hurt by the economy, and sales declined by 30 percent in 2008 and 2009.

But the drop isn’t just about tough times. The Internet has not only changed the way people communicate — it’s created much more competition for traditional card and stationery shops.

That’s true even at Christmas, the ultimate time of the year for sending greetings through the mail.

This holiday season, the average American will spend $26.10 on cards and postage, according to the National Retail Federation, with 79.7 percent of those surveyed buying them. In 2006, 85.4 percent planned to send cards, spending an average of $30.57.

The cost of postage stamps keeps going up. People are crunched for time.

And options for communicating electronically keep growing.

People deliver birthday greetings on Facebook walls and Web sites offer e-cards that often cost nothing — even for expressing sympathy.

The high-tech trends, combined with a slowing economy, have taken their toll on stores that sell cards. Red Marq, a longtime fixture on Winter Park’s Park Avenue, has closed. Hallmark closed in Orlando Fashion Square and Florida Mall. That leaves both malls without a major card shop, since Carlton Cards also left those malls a couple of years ago.

“It’s just been a really tough industry over the past 10 years or so,” said Ryan Fuhrmann, an Indianapolis-based investment firm owner who has written about American Greetings for Investopedia. “It’s been in a ... decline and competing against digital ways to send greetings and basic e-mails.”

Card companies are fighting back, with products that have grown increasingly sophisticated. Some cards are practically gifts in themselves, with music, lights, holograms and even digital slide shows.

The industry has come up with cards for everything from divorce to chemo treatment. And card companies are going digital as well, offering iPhone apps and sending e-cards directly to Facebook.

Even more traditional cards’ designs are becoming “much more sophisticated ... much more of a piece of art,” said Patti Stracher, manager for the National Stationery Show, which

“Slip them into a portfolio case and carry them,” he said.

“Then shine a light on them and up leap these buildings in three dimensions.”

At the University of Arizona in Tucson, Peyghambarian created his displays using 16 cameras. Software rendered the images in holographic pixels, and laser beams directed by the software recorded the information on a novel plastic that can be erased and rewritten in two seconds. Peyghambarian says that the group is working on speeding up the rate and expects versions to be in homes in seven to 10 years. Slower versions may be useful far sooner, for example, for long-distance medical consultation.

To help make those long-distance connections happen, Keren Bergman, a professor of electrical engineering at Columbia University in New York, is working on ways to send holograms not just from room to room but also from Arizona to New York on the Internet. Bergman and Peyghambarian are collaborating as part of joint research financed by the National Science Foundation.

One day, she may summon people to her lab by holographic telepresence, just as Alexander Graham Bell once summoned Thomas Watson (“Come here!”) with a historic telephone call. To introduce that memorable moment, maybe she will find a good quote from “Star Wars.”

With the holiday season being a major card-sending time, small card shops, such as R. Nichols stationery and card shop in Orlando, Fla., compete with larger stores and online orders. greeting card companies attend.

The economy has pushed people further toward cheap, or free, electronic greetings. But this Christmas season, “we do think there’s going to be a leveling-off,” Stracher said.

“A lot of us received e-greetings and thought, ‘Hm, this doesn’t feel quite as valuable.’ We have a solid hunch there won’t be a further decline. ... There’s digital overload now.”

R. Nichols, which creates cards sold in its Orlando store and in boutiques around the country, said its sales have grown.

The store has focused on blank note cards and has printed holiday cards each season. But it only recently began offering a wider array of cards, priced at around $4.50 apiece.

“We were hesitant” to get into more cards, co-owner Anda Lucia Ariail said. But “that’s been a really great way to get into stores we haven’t been in.”

The store has held the line on its prices for several years, Ariail said, but its clientele tends to have higher incomes.

“It’s more of a luxury item,” she said. “We also have an older

demographic. ... We have a lot of southern ladies, your country club crowd that comes in.”

American Greetings — the country’s only major publiclytraded card company — says the median age of its customers is 47.

Find It All Online

It’s trying to lure younger customers with cards that display digital slideshows and an iPhone app in which people can browse, personalize and send electronic greeting cards by e-mail. The company has acquired Recycled Paper Greetings and Papyrus, a line of artsy cards sold at chains such as Target. American Greetings also sold the Carlton Card retail-store business.

Independent dealers have had a particularly difficult time, with about a 20 percent to 30 percent decline over the past five years, Stracher said.

Those that have survived have survived say a loyal clientele and attention to customer service have helped them.

Prague, who keeps up with technology via Twitter and Facebook, thinks there is hope for traditional cards, invitations and stationery.

“There will always be people who are trying to keep up the standards and the old traditions. I think there will always be a need for what we do,” she said. “At the moment, it’s smaller.

Who knows what’s coming next?

I have no plans of going away.”

Homeless Continued from G1 In the tri-county region, the number of people who cited unemployment as the cause for being homeless rose from 160 in 2006 to 187 in 2007, 315 in 2008, 492 in 2009 and to 564 in 2010, according to the homeless count reports.

In the last count conducted Jan. 28, unemployment and the inability to afford rent were cited as the major causes of homelessness by those identified as homeless, said Bob Moore, a project coordinator with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, who coordinates the homeless counts for the Homeless Leadership Coalition.

Nearly half the people identified as homeless in the 2010 count listed unemployment as a cause of homelessness — a 25 percent increase from 2007, Moore said.

“In my 25 years with NeighborImpact in Central Oregon, I have never seen so many people who are really desperate,” said Sharon Miller, the nonprofit’s executive director, which operates food banks, offers utility and rent assistance, and manages Head Start and other programs to help homeless and low-income workers who are not earning enough to pay for basic necessities for themselves or their families.

“They are realizing that the jobs aren’t there, and it is going to be a long time before we replace the jobs we had in 2006,” Miller said. “We see people who are homeless because of foreclosures, people facing evictions because they can’t pay the rent, people whose utilities are being shut off, and people who just need a food bag to feed their kids tonight.

“There’s 14,000 people who get food bags each month. That’s the highest number we’ve ever had, and it keeps on growing,” Miller said. “A lot of the increase is people who are running out of unemployment benefits but haven’t been able to find jobs.”

Benefits running out Craig Spivey, an Oregon Employment Department spokesman, said people who had jobs prior to the recession were eligible for 26 weeks of regular state unemployment benefits, plus a 53-week extension of federal unemployment. In July 2008, Congress approved another 20 weeks of extended benefits,

Chris Clouart, managing director of the Bethlehem Inn homeless shelter in Bend, has seen more women and children at the shelter than ever before. bringing the total to 99 weeks of unemployment checks. The checks average between $250 and $300 per week.

Spivey said most people who filed for unemployment during the height of the recession in 2008 and 2009 have either run out of their 99 weeks of benefits, or will be running out this winter, regardless of congressional action extending those programs.

Fewer than 1,000 Oregonians were on extended benefits in the first 13 weeks of 2010, but Spivey said that number topped 20,000 this fall, and the number of unemployed running out of benefits is expected to continue increasing by about 500 to 600 people each week throughout the winter.

Nationally, the share of unemployed workers who have been jobless for more than six months topped 41.9 percent in November, according to the Bureau of Labor.

With no jobs and unemployment running out, the Uelands moved in with Roxanne’s cousin and family earlier this year, but the cousin is separating from her husband, so the Uelands had to move out. The first week of December, the family spent their first nights in a homeless shelter at the Bethlehem Inn in Bend.

“The Home Depot, that was a really good job,” said Jonathan Ueland. “I traveled around the country building stores and made good money, but I didn’t want to be that dad who was always gone. I wanted to be more than a voice on the phone. I wanted to be the dad who tucked them in at night.”

Roxanne Ueland said she started working when she was 15, while attending school.

“I have always worked,” she said. “Even when I was a single mom in California, I had a house and a (Ford) Mustang. It is very

Loomis Goode, chaplain at The Shepherd’s House, said about 60 percent of the people who come have lost their jobs. humbling to be on the other side, because in my corrections job, I was the one who used to refer people to public agencies.”

She didn’t want to apply for public assistance, but when the family had to move out of her cousin’s house, Ueland said she finally swallowed her pride and applied for help under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Their application was approved, meaning they will receive $741 a month.

Last week, they found an apartment that rents for $550 a month and were working with the Homeless Leadership Coalition and a group called Willing to Help to raise money for the $550 deposit.

They left the Bethlehem Inn on Thursday with hopes of moving into the apartment, according to Chris Clouart, managing director of the Bethlehem Inn. After about a year of not having a home of their own and experiencing the trauma of being homeless with three small children, Roxanne Ueland said she is thankful for the opportunity to move into an apartment, but she is still worried whether the $191 left from their TANF check each month will be enough to pay for utilities, clothes, food not covered by food stamps, and other expenses.

“In Oregon, you are limited to 60 months on TANF during your lifetime, so this is only temporary. We have to keep looking for work,” Roxanne Ueland said.

“It’s very hard. My husband and I are getting more and more depressed, but we have to find something,” she said. “Right now I’m worried we won’t have any Christmas gifts for the kids.”

More families at shelter Clouart said the shelter has more women and children onsite than ever before.

Brian Steele, 52, an unemployed RV manufacturing plant worker, stands at The Shepherd’s House in Bend after eating a lunch inside the shelter.

“For people at the lower end of the pay scale, it doesn’t take much to go wrong before you finally find yourself homeless,” Clouart said.

There used to be five employment companies in the BendRedmond area that hired day laborers, which made it fairly easy for people to come to Central Oregon and make money doing temporary work until they found more permanent employment, Clouart said.

“People with minimal skills could make $50 a day picking up material and scraps at a construction site,” Clouart said.

“There was so much money being made that paying a day laborer $50 a day was money slopping off the barrel. There was enough for everybody.

“Those days are gone, as far as I can tell,” Clouart said. He only knows of one temporary employment agency for day laborers left in the area.

“The frightening thing is, older men and women 45 to 55, who had jobs installing sheetrock, framing houses, building cabinets, working as (a) sales clerk or receptionist … were laid off, and nobody is going to hire these people,” Clouart said.

“We are like the canary in the coal mine. We get the phone calls from people on the verge of losing their place to live. They are experiencing financial insecurity.

They’re on the edge. They’re robbing Peter to pay Paul. They’re having to choose between paying rent and utilities, or buying food,” Clouart said.

A new kind of reality “A lot of people are just getting by on unemployment benefits. They’ve been looking for work for one, two, three years or more, and they’re scared,” Clouart said. “Not knowing what

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, December 12, 2010 G3 the future holds is the frightening aspect.”

Brian Steele, 52, became one of Bend’s growing population of homeless people after he was laid off in 2008 from a longtime job in RV manufacturing.

Steele is typical among a new contingent of homeless in the Bend area. They’re the people who have worked all of their lives but haven’t been able to find work since being laid off over the past three years due to the housing market collapse, shrinking employment in construction trades, lumber mills and manufacturing plants.

Said Moore, of the Sheriff’s Office, “I don’t know how many conversations I’ve had with people who were doing construction, making a good living, had a nice place to live and drove a truck. Now they’re living in their trucks.

“It is a group that’s not comfortable being in this situation or asking for help. These are folks who have never been homeless before, so they don’t know who to ask or where to go for help,” Moore said.

“The comment I hear most often from these folks is, ‘I never thought I’d be in this kind of situation,’” Moore said.

Steele quit school after his junior year at Bend High School.

He said he didn’t like school and was eager to work and make money. So he chose to drop out and get his GED. He worked all his life, first in logging and lumber mills, and later in RV manufacturing. When the timber industry shrank during the 1980s and ’90s, Steele switched to RV manufacturing jobs, until soaring gas prices hobbled that industry in 2008 and he was laid off.

“It’s like the jobs have just vanished,” Steele said.

Today, after nearly two years looking for work with no luck, Steele is homeless, living in a tent in a wooded area in Bend.

With nighttime temperatures near zero, Steele said having a tent, a sleeping bag and a propane heater keeps him from freezing to death.

He’s learned about places like the Bethlehem Inn and Shepherd’s House, where homeless people can get a hot meal, shower, change of clothes and occasionally a warm place to sleep.

He has more than 30 years experience doing manual labor and manufacturing-type jobs, but he said employers have cho-

sen younger workers for the few openings for which he’s applied.

Moore said employers are getting dozens of applications for every job, which makes it hard for workers with outdated skills or blemishes on their records to compete.

“I came to Shepherd’s House for lunch. They had soup today,” Steele said earlier this month.

“They have been real helpful and generous.”

He also learned the Trinity Lutheran and Trinity Episcopal churches in downtown Bend serve lunches and dinners to the homeless on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

“If you utilize all of these resources, you can get a hot meal at least once a day,” Steele said.

Loomis Goode, chaplain at The Shepherd’s House, said about 60 percent of the people who come there have lost their jobs.

“This summer we started seeing an increase in people coming in who ran out of unemployment. “There’s more people struggling, more people out of work,” Goode said. Shepherd’s House limits overnight stays to men, but Goode said the men can bring their families in to share a meal.

Bend’s Family Access Network, which assists homeless schoolchildren and their families with basic necessities, also has seen more families struggling.

“During these challenging times, FAN has seen a monumental jump in the number of families requesting services, with a 43 percent increase throughout Deschutes County, compared to this time last school year,” said Julie Lyche, FAN director.

During the 2009-10 school year, FAN assisted 7,894 children and family members who had lost jobs, were facing foreclosure or other stresses due to the economic crisis.

“FAN advocates are now working with families that used to donate cash and items to FAN,” Lyche said.

Moore said individuals who have never been homeless before and families with children have been two of the fastest-growing segments of the homeless count the past two years, and from what he’s seen this year, he expects that trend to continue when the 2011 homeless count occurs in late January.

Hotels Continued from G1 For the most part, private equity firms haven’t even cracked their piggy banks yet. “I have never in my entire career seen so much equity on the sidelines ready to pounce,” said Jim Butler, chairman of the global hospitality group at the law firm Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Mitchell.

More than 40 private equity funds are hunting for deals in the hotel sector now, and many are under the gun to buy earlier rather than later, says Bjorn Hanson, dean of the Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management at New York University.

All are under pressure to invest, lest they miss the opportunity to jump in before the sector goes into full rebound mode, when “everybody else gets in and prices get bid up,” said Hanson.

Private equity firms and real estate investment trusts have been building huge war chests over the last year as they seek distressed deals, in the hopes of picking up properties at pennies on the dollar, as many did in the early 1990s recession. Butler recalls that Colony Capital bought the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa in 1993 in Hawaii for about 12 cents on the dollar. Colony paid $56 million for a property that cost $465 million to build and then sold the property in 2002 for $180 million.

In the current downturn, many investors have been waiting for similarly troubled targets, which have yet to materialize. “I think opportunistic investors had those visions dancing in their head of assets that you buy at 10 cents on the dollar,” Butler said.

But now many realize they may get distressed assets at only 60 to 80 cents on the dollar, and are afraid they’ll miss the rebound if they don’t jump in soon.

“Things will begin drifting up, if not shooting up,” Butler said.

Telltale numbers Hotel deals began revving up after the lodging sector showed signs that it had finally turned a corner in the first quarter. Hotels posted year-over-year growth in occupancy in February for the first time since October 2007, and revenue per available room — a closely watched measurement of room-rate and occupancy growth — turned positive in March for the first time since July 2008, according to Smith Travel Research.

In July 2010, American hotels “sold 102 million room nights, which is the most room nights ever sold in one month,” noted Jan Freitag, vice president for global development at Smith Travel. “The worst is behind us.”

Some hotels have even begun

E-readers Continued from G1 It’s about asking yourself which features you need and which model works best for you and your budget. Here are factors to consider:

Want wireless?

You don’t have to connect the Kindle or Nook to a computer to add digital books and games.

Both have easy-to-use wireless features that require a Wi-Fi connection to access the Amazon or Barnes & Noble digital store. Both also can sync the books you’re reading — and the last page you were on — to other devices, such as your iPhone (Kindle and Nook apps are free).

Using your home Wi-Fi is the cheaper option. The Kindle starts

selectively raising room rates in recent months, usually a surefire sign that the sector is on the rebound, and experts expect this to escalate in the next two years. At the same time, there’s little new construction because financing remains scarce, which will limit the number of new hotel rooms being dumped on the market in the next few years.

“We know we’ve reached bottom, and we know a recovery has started,” said Hanson of NYU. “Now is the time to start to look seriously at acquisitions.”

There certainly isn’t a shortage of potential targets in the hotel industry. Many lodging companies are struggling to restructure their expiring debt amid dwindling profits, and their lenders — including almost all the big banks, like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America — are groaning under the weight of big loans.

Investors abandoned the sector in droves during the downturn, and hotel values plummeted 27 percent in 2008 and a further 40 percent in 2009, according to Colliers PKF Hospitality Research.

“The domestic lodging industry came off of its worst year in history in 2009,” said Mark Woodworth, president of Colliers, which has been tracking the data since the mid-1930s.

Profits tumbled 35.4 percent on average at American hotels last year, a record slide. The previous low-water mark, he says, was a 22.5 percent decline in 1938.

Shrinking revenue from falling room rates and occupancy over the last two years sent a flurry of hotel companies, including Extended Stay, Innkeepers USA Trust, Highland Hospitality, Red Roof Inn and Consolidated Resorts, scrambling for ways to get out from beneath the piles of short-term loans that were suffocating them.

Many companies had been taken private in debt-heavy deals during the boom years of 2005 to 2007 and are now “underwater” — meaning they are worth less than the debt on their properties, and cash flow from the hotels no longer covers the debt payments, a malady shared by many owners of homes swept up in the foreclosure crisis.

“The level of delinquencies and defaults has been escalating dramatically over the past year or so” in the lodging industry, Woodworth said. “Maybe a third of the problem loan situations have been dealt with at this point, so there’s still another two-thirds left to go.”

Calling all vultures So this year might just be a turning point for the hotel industry. Smelling blood, private equity firms like Blackstone have swooped into the sector this year, and bitter bidding wars have erupted over properties.

at $140 for a Wi-Fi-enabled device; if you want wireless on a 3G network, the price is $190. The Kindle’s unique online perks include the ability to share your favorite book excerpts on Facebook and Twitter or see what other users have marked as their favorite passages as you read.

The Nook is $10 more: $150 for the Wi-Fi version, $200 for WiFi and 3G access. To browse the Web, you have to be connected to a Wi-Fi network. The Kindle lets you browse on either Wi-Fi or 3G.

Bridget’s pick: Kindle The pocket-sized Sony Reader’s responsive-touchscreen, clean menu design and small size won my heart. But it doesn’t have a way to wirelessly connect to the Sony Reader Store. Being able to connect on Wi-Fi and 3G is one of the best perks of an e-reader, so the Kindle wins my vote. I like its simplicity and lightweight design and the ability to search its bookstore from anywhere.

The lighted cover (sold separately

for $59.99) is a perk of its own: It comes with a built-in book light.

Snap it into the Kindle, and it can use the reader’s battery for power.

COMPATIBILITY If lack of access to .epub files is a deal breaker and you don’t mind tinkering, keep in mind that there are programs on the Web to convert files and make it work. And many e-books do come in the compatible PDF format.

Feeling touchy?

The pocket-sized Sony Reader is 5.7 inches tall with a 5-inch E Ink screen. It may be the shortest of the trio, but it has a somewhat high starting price of $180, likely because of its touchscreen.

With a finger or stylus, you can navigate and flip pages — even

hand-write notes on the pages or doodle on a blank note.

These pluses aside, the pocket edition has fewer bells and whistles than the Nook or Kindle.

There’s no way to download books wirelessly nor to play audio. (The Sony Reader Daily Edition model

“We’re seeing discounts to replacement costs of 30 percent to 50 percent,” he said. He says he expects more deals at similar discounts in the next year or two.

In a September research note, a Bank of America Merrill Lynch analyst, Shaun Kelley, said some companies — like Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Host Hotels and Hersha Hospitality Trust — would probably be buyers as deals emerged. Several REITs and real estate operating companies, like DiamondRock, Sunstone and Host, have already jumped in by snapping up debt positions in properties that were in default — the so-called loanto-own strategy, in which a lender hopes to take over a property if the owner can’t meet the debt obligations.

‘Extend and pretend’ Some struggling chains have avoided bankruptcy and 1990stype fire sales because banks and other lenders have been hoping for a rebound. Lenders have taken an “extend and pretend” tactic, in which they extend the loan terms and pretend everything is peachy in the hopes that the underwater loans will be salvageable once the economy bounces back.

Alvin Wade, a national managing partner at the consulting firm Grant Thornton, who has been advising clients on accounting issues in lodging and real estate for more than 30 years, says most lenders are loath to foreclose on a property because this would require writing down the value of the asset on their books, which could force them to raise additional capital to meet regulatory capital requirements. Also, they don’t want to take over the companies and become landlords because, Wade says, “the last thing they want to do is be in the real estate business.”

However, he says this practice

can’t go on indefinitely. When “extend and pretend” ends, many property owners will be forced to sell or hand the keys back to the lender, and the flow of distressed properties in the market will increase, he says.

Indeed, Ted Mandigo, a hospitality consultant, says many targets look ripe. “It’s a matter of getting in there early and trying to beat the bidding war,” he said.

If those forecasts come true, Branson, the flamboyant British billionaire who owns an eclectic mix of businesses like airlines and music stores, will have some competition as he buys up hotels to turn into a Virgin chain. He announced plans last month to introduce about 25 Virgin hotels in major cities.

He hopes the boutique-style hotel chain will cater to “high-income, well-educated, metropolitan, creative class” customers.

“When you think about Virgin and travel and lifestyle and what we do — hotels isn’t a stretch; it’s a natural fit,” said Anthony Marino, managing partner of the Virgin Group’s leisure and hospitality sector.

Branson had been considering such an expansion for more than two years, just waiting for the right time to jump in, Marino says. The company will probably buy, rather than build, hotels and convert them to the Virgin brand, he says, with the first location slated to open in 12 to 18 months.

“There is a lot of volatility in real estate, and these gateway cities are hard to penetrate — and this might be an opportunity to really get into these markets,” he said. “You take advantage of volatility and make it an opportunity.”

Indeed, luxury hotels in major metro markets like New York, San Francisco and Boston seem to offer the biggest windfalls, analysts say. They took the hardest hit during the recession, and investors hope they’ll bounce back just as steeply. Valuations for luxury hotels plunged 30 percent in 2008 and 45 percent in 2009, according to Woodworth, as profits slid 7.3 percent and 47.5 percent respectively.

But high-end hoteliers weren’t suffering alone. Across the country and at every price point, the industry has been slammed since the economy’s downturn in 2008.

Revenue per available room, known in the industry as revpar, plunged 17 percent in 2009, according to Smith Travel Research, the biggest annual decline since the firm began tracking the data in 1987.

Colliers, the research firm, expects revpar to climb 5.9 percent in 2011 and 10.6 percent in 2012, and rates to rise 3.8 percent in 2011 and 6.3 percent in 2012. “There are many investors looking to play the recovery,” said David Loeb, a managing director at Robert W. Baird & Company.

happen when a loan that was held by this many parties needs a bank to work with or give the keys back to,” he said. The matter wound up in bankruptcy court.

Two private equity firms, Centerbridge Partners and Paulson & Co., teamed up in March 2010 to acquire the company out of bankruptcy. The firms’ initial bid got the nod from Extended Stay’s board, and they appeared to have it in the bag.

But all that changed when Barry Sternlicht, the man behind the W brand and former chairman of the hotel giant Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, jumped into the fray later that month with a counterbid, setting off a vicious bidding war.

The battle was decided when the Centerbridge team got a third partner, the Blackstone Group, and ultimately clinched the auction with a bid of $3.93 billion in cash and debt.

For Blackstone, the deal was particularly sweet, as the firm had owned Extended Stay and sold it to Lightstone for $8 billion at the top of the market in 2007.

One principal involved in the Extended Stay acquisition, whose firm did not want to discuss the deal publicly, said the price was a deep bargain compared with a common benchmark known as replacement cost, which is the theoretical price to build a similar hotel in the same location today.

Take Extended Stay, a national chain of more than 600 hotels that caters to people seeking longer-term lodging. The company, once valued at more than $8 billion, collapsed under a mountain of debt and dwindling revenue, forcing it to seek bankruptcy protection in June 2009.

The bottom fell out of the industry before the ink was dry, leaving the owner, the Lightstone Group, searching for ways to restructure $7.4 billion in debt.

But Lightstone’s problems were made worse by the fact that the firm’s four lenders had sold the debt in the secondary market to more than 50 creditors, who would have had to agree on any restructuring of the loans.

“We tried for the better part of a year to get them to either reach an agreement or take the keys back, and we just couldn’t get them to agree on anything,” David Lichtenstein, chief executive of the Lightstone Group, says of the creditors. “Imagine trying to get 50 people to agree with total unanimity on something.” Instead, creditors were fighting among themselves, with some wanting to change terms and others wanting to take over the hotels.

Lichtenstein says he never anticipated such problems. “We were always told we would be able to give the keys back, but nobody had ever played it out in a real-life situation of what would

Limiting brake dust carries a trade-off

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

I’ve been told my BMW Z4 will need new brakes soon. I asked if there are brakes that wouldn’t make so much black dust, but I was told that’s how it has to be because it’s a European car. The wheels are pretty difficult to clean and look terrible when they’re full of the black dust.

Is there anything that can be done?

Brake dust is an annoying byproduct of a disc brake system, and it can certainly make a mess of a set of attractive wheels. This dust consists of microscopic particles of friction material shed from your disc brake pads. It’s true that European vehicles often have the worst dust, because their design places a higher priority on stopping power than clean wheel appearance.

What choices does one have when shopping for new brakes? There are actually many, each with its pros and cons, if the service facility offers them. When comparing replacement brake attributes, these are the things to consider: stopping power, quietness, life span, dustiness and brake-rotor life.

Softer-composition brake pads are quiet and tend to stop the best, but they emit lots of dark dust and wear out sooner. Harder pads last a long time, are tough on brake rotors, and are more likely to be noisy. Ceramic brake pads, a fairly recent development, offer the best compromise of desirable qualities. They emit a lighter-color dust that doesn’t seem to stick to the wheels as readily as the organic and semi-metallic compounds used in other brake-pad compositions. If your repair facility doesn’t offer choices, or isn’t willing to explain them to you, find another one.

Is it OK to tip the compro-

Volvo via The Washington Post

Volvo has gone out of its way to make the XC60 R-Design wagon accelerate and handle in the manner of a well-engineered sports car.

Volvo’s XC60: a virtue wagon that can tempt you into sin

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

The policeman was right. I was speeding. I have an explanation, which is not the same as an acceptable excuse. Nor is it meant to be. But it is the truth. I had slipped into the Joy Zone.

It is a hazard inherent in the operation of an exceptional automobile, which was the case that crisp November morning when I was driving the 2011 Volvo XC60 R-Design wagon in Virginia.

How ironic!

I was driving one of the world’s safR E V I E W est vehicles.

Yet I ran into a speeding ticket that will cost me $200.

I am tempted to blame distraction, the cause of 90 percent of our nation’s traffic accidents, especially in urban areas. But seduction is much closer to the truth.

I was seduced, snookered, suckered by the smoothness of the new XC60’s turbocharged 3-liter in-line six-cylinder engine — 300 horsepower, 325 foot-pounds of torque. That’s 19 more horsepower and 30 footpounds more torque than was available in the 2010 version of that engine.

But I can’t really blame those power increases, either. Many cars have high-horsepower, high-torque engines. There is little about them, however, to lure you into the Joy Zone.

That zone is a special place, where driver and car become one. Only the finest cars can take you there. You think.

Limbs move. The car goes. It is a machine totally in sync with human movement and emotion.

The better it performs, the better you feel, until reality intrudes.

I am lucky that intrusion came in the form of a speeding ticket. Other motorists aren’t as fortunate. Their Joy Zone leads to injury, or death. I’ll take the fine, thank you very much.

But the irony remains vexing. The XC60 R-Design wagon is rock-solid safe. For example, it is available with an optional Volvo-patented technology, “City Safe.” At 18 mph or below, an infrared detection system automatically slows or stops the wagon if a stationery or slowing vehicle, or human being, is detected in its path.

City Safe can be turned off in congested traffic where automatically stopping to avoid striking a vehicle in front of you can cause another motorist to slam into your rear end.

Nothing’s perfect. But I appreciate Volvo’s effort to put as much safety into its cars and wagons as possible. Other XC60 technology, such as an audible lane-departure warning system, represents a successful attempt by Volvo to improve on safety systems introduced by rivals. Ditto the XC60’s available blind-side warning system, which can prevent motorists from swerving into unseen (by the human eye) trailing traffic.

It’s all good stuff. But it is

2011 Volvo XC60 R-Design Base price: $41,550 As tested: $46,950 Type: Compact wagon with four side doors and a rear lift-gate.

Engine: The XC60 comes with a 3.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine — 240 horsepower, 236 foot-pounds of torque. The optional turbocharged 3-liter in-line six-cylinder engine generates a maximum 300 horsepower and 325 foot-pounds of torque. Both engines are linked to a six-speed transmission that can be operated automatically or manually.

Mileage: 16 miles per gallon in the city, 21 mpg on the highway. absent an important complement — my proposed Joy Zone Warning Device. It seems only fair that such technology be included in the XC60, considering that Volvo has gone out of its way to make the wagon accelerate and handle in the manner of a well-engineered sports car.

The Joy Zone Warning Device would detect dangerous fantasy levels, such as when a motorist, lost in the wow-zee of it all, exits a high-speed expressway and enters a more speed-restricted city street. It could issue dumbbell or knucklehead alerts, something like “Hey, knucklehead, slow down!

You’re on a city street. Slow down!”

I’d happily pay a couple of hundred bucks or more for that system. Heck, I’m paying for it anyway.

Bottom line Lesson learned — one of the safest cars in the world is only as safe as its driver. Driving, particularly speed monitoring, is a full-attention job.

Ride, acceleration and handling: You have to drive this one to believe it. The Volvo XC60 R-Design wagon (the all-wheeldrive T6 version XC60 with

20-inch-diameter wheels and sports chassis) gets superior marks in all three.

Capacities: Seats for five people. Maximum cargo capacity is 67 cubic feet. Fuel capacity is 18.5 gallons of gasoline. Volvo says regular is fine for both its turbo and non-turbo engines. I tried full tanks of regular and premium gasoline in the T6 R-Design I drove. The wagon performed nicely with regular.

It did discernibly better with premium.

Safety: Standard equipment includes front and rear ventilated disc brakes, emergency braking assistance, electronic brake-force distribution, antilock braking assistance, electronic stability and traction control, xenon high-intensity discharge lights, tire-pressure monitoring, and side and head air bags.

mise toward cleaner wheels? It depends how you drive the Z4.

If you use it mostly as a commute vehicle or grocery-getter, a slight reduction in the vehicle’s excellent brakes wouldn’t be a problem.

If you like to wring out the car on mountain roads or drive at high speeds, lean towards stopping power and accept more dust. Ceramic pads are the best choice, I believe, to narrow the compromise.

Another option to limit brake dust is to install a set of Kleen Wheels Brake Dust Shields behind the Z4’s wheels. These are aluminum discs that block dust from reaching the wheels, and for your car, run about $45 per pair.

They’re certified by TUV, a respected German safety evaluation company, which eases my concerns of adequate brake cooling. I personally like the looks of an exposed brake rotor and nicely painted brake caliper, as viewed through the wheels, so I’ll hang on to my wheel-cleaning brush.

When cleaning alloy wheels, be sure to use a cleaning agent that’s appropriate for your wheel type. Painted or clearcoated wheels need one type of cleaner, and polished or rough aluminum, billet, and anodized wheels need another.

I like Mothers FX wheel and tire cleaner for typical OEM (original equipment manufacturer) coated wheels. There are several clever wheel-cleaning brushes available; choose the one that works best for your wheel style.

A The actor, who turns 30 next week, wasn’t wearing the ring when Gyllenhaal: Lord we spoke to him about Love of the ring? & Other Drugs, and he laughed when we asked about it. As for rings of another sort, Gyllenhaal (recently linked with Taylor Swift) has this to say about commitment: “If you swear you’re giving up on love, that’s when it hits you the hardest. I guess resistance creates intensity. I think love’s gonna smack you over the head—or wherever it smacks you—no matter what you do.”

WS What were you like when you were growing up?

RR I wasn’t cool or nerdy. Making people laugh was my way of being validated, I guess.

The kids of Waiting for ‘Superman’ Five students who kicked off a national debate about education

Game changers come in all shapes and sizes. In 1955, a defiant secretary refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus and jump-started the civil rights movement. In 1980, after her daughter was killed by a drunk driver, a California real-estate agent channeled her grief into creating Mothers Against Drunk Driving. In 1985, when a 13-year-old HIV-positive boy was barred from his Indiana school, the ensuing uproar helped break down the wall of prejudice against the disease. And in 2010, five children—Emily, 15; Anthony, 13; Daisy, 12; Francisco, 7; and Bianca, 7—revealed their hopes and dreams for a good education in the documentary Waiting for “Superman,” and in doing so catalyzed a very public discussion about our country’s broken school system.

“If your blood is not boiling by the end of this film, then there is no blood pumping through your heart,” declared Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa after seeing the controversial film.

President Obama declared it “heartbreaking” and was so moved that he invited the kids—a diverse group from Visit us at PARADE.COM

northern California, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and New York City, all of them trying to escape the schools they were in—to the White House. In a country where a good education is considered the right of every child, the film made it clear that their futures depended on pure chance—literally. All five entered lotteries to get into better schools; by film’s end, only two had won

those coveted spots.

The movie was shot in 2008; today, almost all of the Superman kids are enrolled in good public schools, and their excited, engaged attitudes are proof of the transformative power of education. “He used to hate homework, and he didn’t want to go to school,” says Maria, the mother of Francisco, who lives in the Bronx. “Now he’s always reading and talking about his teachers. My husband and I wonder, Did someone switch our son?” Gloria, the grandmother of Anthony, who is attending a charter boarding school in Washington, D.C., proudly says, “In elementary school, Anthony was struggling. But now he loves school, and he’s been on the dean’s list twice and the honor roll twice.”

Bianca is the only one who’s still waiting to find the right place. “We have 30 kids in my class and one teacher,” the Harlem second-grader says softly. “She doesn’t have time for each of us.”

Although Superman is already picked as an early favorite to win an Academy Award in February, it has also drawn scores of opponents who have grievances about its content. In particular, many teachers have criticized its negative portrayal of teachers’ unions and tenure and its bias in favor of charter schools.

Still, by provoking community debates from Salem, Ore., to Cincinnati, Ohio, and Tallahassee, Fla., the documentary has succeeded in making the often-abstract issue of public education come alive through these five very vulnerable faces. “I think people are seeing that these kids are just like their kids,” its director, Davis Guggenheim, says, “and I hope that they inspire us to connect to what’s at stake for millions.”

The film ends with a call to action, challenging viewers to respond to a seemingly hopeless situation in a typically American way—with ingenuity, optimism, and activism. Judging from one reaction, that’s already happening. “I knew before I was in the movie that I wanted to be a teacher,” says Redwood City, Calif., high school sophomore Emily, the elder statesmen of the Superman kids, “but watching it made me feel like I need to do something to change the system.”

‘Everything works out the way the universe wants it to work out,’ Bullock said this year.

6 • December 12, 2010

Hollywood’s classiest act It was a year that saw more mindbogglingly bad celebrity behavior than Lindsay Lohan could shake a certain finger at. The cast of Jersey Shore brawled in bars and more bars; Mel Gibson ranted unprintable things at the mother of his youngest child; Charlie Sheen trashed a hotel room he was sharing with a woman not his wife (and then allegedly had the gall to shred her Prada bag). Given the sinking standards of role-model-dom these days, no one would have faulted Sandra Bullock if she’d gone postal at some point during the very public meltdown of her marriage. But she never did. In fact, she handled Jesse James’ stunning betrayal with just the sort of grace and dignity we’ve come to expect from her.

In an era filled with stars who endlessly shock and disappoint us, Bullock is now—more than ever—the one we want to befriend.

The woman who won an Oscar for her starring role in The Blind Side just before it all went ka-blooey had always seemed funny, real, and down-to-earth; now she was showing those of us who post mean photos of our exes on our Facebook pages how not to take revenge, but rather how to step over the muck with your head held high. And the arrival in her life of Louis Bardo Bullock, the baby she quietly adopted from New Orleans last January and introduced to the world in April, just made us cheer her all the more.

This past summer, while dedicating a new health clinic she helped fund at the New Orleans charter school she’s long supported, Bullock said, “Sometimes tragedies bring out the very best in people.” She was referring to Hurricane Katrina, of course. But she might just as well have been talking about herself. For the rest of us—not just the Snookis and the Charlies, but all of us—she’s that rare role model worth modeling ourselves on. —Hilary Sterne

Stieg Larsson Sweden’s hottest export He died of a heart attack at 50 in November 2004. So how is it that Swedish novelist Larsson’s violent, highly literary tales—The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest—are selling more briskly than ever, reaching a phenomenal 46 million copies worldwide this year? “It’s the tragedy of his loss, plus the plain greatness of the books,” says Sessalee Hensley, fiction buyer for Barnes & Noble.

Fans say the big lure is the trilogy’s computer-hacking feminist heroine, Lisbeth Salander, a vigilante avenger so fierce she makes the Punisher look like Mr. Rogers. “I wouldn’t want to encounter her in a dark room,” Hensley says. Swedish film adaptations have helped goose sales, as will Hollywood versions (David Fincher is directing the first story). And while the author’s girlfriend and family squabble over an unfinished fourth book, his silence has had its own pull.

“It’s the Garbo effect,” says Larsson admirer Michael Connelly, author of the Harry Bosch detective novels. “Scarcity leads to intrigue.” —Steve Daly

Alwin Landry Hero of the BP oil spill Few heroes emerged in the moments and months following the BP Oil disaster—instead, we mostly saw characters like the company’s CEO, Tony Hayward, who whined about wanting his life back, and U.S. Minerals Management Service officials, who reportedly partied with the very executives they should have been investigating. Alwin Landry, 41, captain of the Damon B. Bankston, a supply ship tethered to the rig that night, proved to be an

exception. After hearing and seeing the massive inferno that erupted when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig burst into flames on the evening of April 20, he and his 12-person crew dispatched a rescue craft that sped into the heart of the explosion to help collect the terrified rig workers, some of whom had jumped 75 feet into the murky Gulf. “It was very, very intense,” said Landry, who admitted he was “nervous watching my crew go into the situation: the heat intensity, the fire, the water.” But under his calm leadership, the men stayed focused, repeatedly returning to look for survivors.

Within an hour, 115 rig workers— a few with serious injuries—were on board the supply ship. While there would be plenty of ugliness and recrimination surrounding the catastrophe, possibly the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history, Landry’s first mate remembers something different. Of the rescue led by his captain, Paul Erickson said, “It was a remarkable and beautiful response.”

Based on that first meeting, I would have thought by now he would be in a monastery, teaching and reading. But there’s too much in the world to experience, too much that needs to be made better.

California is a perfect fit for his restless spirit. The Golden State used to be defined by its energy, optimism, and relentless forward movement. Those now seem like remnants of the past.

But don’t tell Jerry. Whether you agree with his positions or not, he is a three-dimensional person in an increasingly two-dimensional profession.

He’s one of a kind.

Less wrinkles. More cheer!

New Orleans Saints Beacons of hope for a city They were a football franchise so hapless and winless that for years they were known as the New Orleans Aints. But in 2006 they signed a quarterback named Drew Brees and if one thing sets Brees apart, it’s that he ain’t gonna stop trying. “I felt like coming to New Orleans was a calling,” he said.

Brees understood what it meant to be given up on. He had joined the team when his career was as far underwater as parts of his beloved new city still were. Sore-shouldered and rejected by the rest of the league, he felt an immediate kinship with New Orleans.

Where others saw hopelessness, however, he saw “a chance to participate in the recovery.

On the front line in Haiti The enormity of the earthquake in Haiti in January still staggers: 230,000 dead. 300,000 injured. 1.3 million homeless. Yet amid this overwhelming devastation, one aid organization stood out above all the rest, a group that had been helping Haitians survive since 1987.

Partners in Health (PIH) was founded by 23-year-old physician-anthropologist Paul Farmer (above right), 18-yearold social-justice advocate Ophelia Dahl (far right), and three colleagues in order to bring community-based medicine to the country’s Central Plateau. Since then, about 1.3 million people in Haiti—of a total

population of 9.6 million—have received health care through PIH, which has soared in size, reach, and stature. Today it has a $103.8 million budget, 13,000 employees, and health facilities in 12 countries.

But it was during the quake’s aftermath that the group’s abilities

“I met her in the early ’90s doing a stage show called The Real Live Brady Bunch. I was the dad, Mike Brady, in a $20 wig stretched to its limit over my big head. Jane was the mom, Carol. I was struck by her poise, by what a good anchor she was in a fairly thankless role. Over the years, she’s been a wonderful, positive presence. Not a Pollyanna, just a great person.

were most sorely put to the test: Doctors splinted survivors’ broken bones with license plates and created makeshift medical units in backyards. Today, nearly one year later, PIH is focused on combating the current cholera epidemic, but its eventual goal is to continue to help build a strong local health-care system.

The problems facing Haiti may seem relentless and complex, but as Farmer has said, the imperative is simple: “You’re in front of someone who’s suffering, and you have the tools at your disposal to alleviate that suffering—or even eradicate it—and you act.”

Sorry, Jane. I was broke.

“Lately it’s, Wow! There’s Jane on a magazine cover. There’s Jane hosting Saturday Night Live and guesting on Two and a Half Men. And of course, there’s Jane as coach Sue Sylvester on Glee. To me, Sue is hilarious because even surrounded by children, she’s always the smallest, pettiest person in the room. It’s cool to see Jane enjoying this kind of success, because she doesn’t pin a lot of neurotic energy on ‘making it.’ She’s just steadily done amazing, smart, honest work, and people are suddenly paying a lot of attention. I’m sure she’s humble about it. But I think there’s part of her that feels, Well, yeah. This sounds about right.”

Once upon a time, potential princesses were born to the role, trained from birth and swapped among European states in a blue-blooded members’ only club. These days, royalty, like greatness, can be thrust upon you as a result of simply chatting up that handsome chap at the university bar. Somehow, Kate Middleton, from a relatively normal family, has handled it all beautifully. She and William must know each other well by now, and they must feel confident that their marriage will work. I hope the joy is all the sweeter for her after such a patient wait. —Sophie Kinsella, author of Mini Shopaholic

Personalities of the Year

Elizabeth Warren Protector of the middle class If Will Rogers had ever met fellow Oklahoman Elizabeth Warren, the man who once remarked that “common sense ain’t common”likely would have tipped his cowboy hat to her. Bankers may have balked at how she oversaw the $700 billion bailout of the financial industry, but her practicality and zealous style won her many big fans. “Dang gummit, somebody has got to stand up on behalf of the middle class!”

Warren, a former Sunday school teacher and current Harvard Law professor, said.

In September, President Obama gave Warren her biggest challenge yet: to design a brand-new Consumer

Financial Protection Bureau.

Since her opponents have vowed to fight the agency’s operations, she surely has her work cut out for her. But, as Warren told The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart this year, “We fix this problem going forward, or the game is really over.”

I wanted to stop my bone loss.

But I did more. I reversed it with BONIVA.*

The President’s Photographer: Fifty Years Inside the Oval Office ($35) As this fine selection of 150 sometimes unguarded, often iconic images makes clear, the snapper-inchief’s rapport with his subject calls for trust on both sides—and more.

Like his colleagues, Robert McNeely, who caught the above shot of the Clintons in crisis mode, knows that his art extends well beyond image-making: “I’m there serving history, but I’m also trying to serve truth.”

Cookies Ideal for Little Hands

cle

I don’t consider myself a cook, but I’m definitely a baker. Had I not gone into music, I probably would have gone to pastry school. Once when I was about 8 and my parents were out, I got this wild idea in my head to make a cake for them.

When they got home, they were surprised to find a grasshopper cake—and a huge mess of flour and sugar. Baking became my thing any time my parents left the house. Some girls raid their mom’s makeup drawer, but I would get a bowl, put flour and water in it, and play with the dough.

Now that I have a daughter, Owen, who’s 5, one of my favorite things to do is bake with her.

Around Christmas, we always For more great meals, go to PARADE’s make shortbread thumbprint new food site, cookies. Not only do kids have the dashrecipes.com. perfect-size thumbs for this, but they’re just gentle enough to do the thumbprints a little bit better than us grown-ups.

You can change what you put in the indentation— chocolate, different kinds of jams, lemon curd. I usually mix together an assortment in tins to give to friends. That’s one of the joys of baking: You get to share what you make. As soon as I bake something, I try to give it to someone else. Otherwise, I’ll just eat it! But these cookies are so yummy, I usually keep some to have with coffee for breakfast.

Thumbprint Cookies The filling I’m going to try this year is an amazing strawberry-lavender preserve I found near my parents’ house. But you can use whatever you’re craving.

PHOTOS BY ROB HOWARD (BRANCH), GETTY IMAGES (ROLLER), AND ISTOCK (CAN). NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS/CONSULTING BY JEANINE SHERRY, M.S., R.D.

2 cups sifted flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup butter (no substitutes!)

1/2 cup superfine sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract (or 1½ tsp vanilla extract

and 1/2 tsp almond extract—so good) Your preferred jam or other filling 1/2 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar

1. Sift together flour and salt; set aside. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add extract(s). Slowly mix in flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until just blended. Chill dough for 1 to 2 hours.

2. Preheat oven to 325°F. Meanwhile, quickly shape dough into 1-inch balls, and space them 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Make a deep thumbprint in the center of each; fill with preferred jam or chocolate.

3. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cookies are the color of pale sand. Transfer to wire cooling racks.

4. When cooled, dust with confectioners’ sugar. Pack in tins for gifts or serve to holiday guests.

Michelle’s Tipss

“Don’t manhandle the dough—these h se cookies don’t have to look absolutely perfect. And the more you handle it, the softer and mushier it gets.�

“Even if your cookies don’t look perfect, they’ll still taste amazing. If you follow the recipe, you can’t go wrong.�

“Wait until the cookies cool a bit before sprinkling them with powdered sugar. If you do it as soon as they come out of the oven, the sugar will completely disappear.�

Petite bites.

Big compliments.

If you have type 2 diabetes, take steps to help control your blood sugar.

Se offer e FREE below .*

Talk to your doctor about lowering blood sugar levels.

Talk to your doctor about JANUVIA.

If JANUVIA is right for you, start today with a free 30-day trial supply.* JANUVIA works to lower blood sugar in 2 ways. Talk to your doctor about JANUVIA today.

Increases Insulin

Decreases Sugar Made In Liver

• JANUVIA is a once-daily prescription pill that helps your body increase the insulin made in your pancreas and decrease the sugar made in your liver.

• Along with diet and exercise, JANUVIA helps lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.

• JANUVIA is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

JANUVIA (jah-NEW-vee-ah) 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.

Call 1-888-JANUVIA or visit Januvia.com.

You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Glitter is ubiquitous in our culture. You see it on greeting cards, in crafts kits, and even in makeup. What is it made of?

Also, our kids often get glitter on their hands and faces.

Does it pose any health risks if ingested?

—Kris Lausterer, Bellevue, Neb.

Most glitter consists of plasticfilm or metallic-foil particles.

It is commonly safe for use by children, but the material varies widely for different applications. (Sometimes it contains aluminum, etc.) So unless the glitter is labeled nontoxic, you should assume it should not be ingested.
