Outgoing DA considering job in island nation

By Erin Golden The Bulletin

With just a few days to go before he ends his final term as Deschutes County district attorney, Mike Dugan’s office is nearly empty. The shelves have been packed up, the walls painted, the carpet cleaned.

His desk is still covered with papers and folders. Crime doesn’t

stop when the DA’s office changes hands. He’s still spending his days darting back and forth from his office to the courthouse and to meetings of groups like the Safe Schools Alliance.

But for the first time in 24 years, Dugan is thinking about something else: After serving as DA, what comes next?

The plans haven’t been finalized, but Dugan said he’s in negotiations to take a familiar job in a very unfamiliar place. The Republic of Palau, a small island nation in the Pacific with a population of 21,000, is looking for an experienced prosecutor to take on government corruption cases. Dugan, with nearly 35 years of experience as an attorney, said he’s ready for a new professional challenge and a bit of an adventure.

In November, the Jefferson County jail levy was voted down by a margin of 778 votes.

This spring, the Sheriff will be asking voters once more to approve a 20-cent tax increase to support the jail.

Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins said his budget committee will begin meeting again the first of the year. But he knows the number needed to maintain the jail’s current level of operation: $1.19 per $1,000 of assessed property value, he said.

That’s a 20-cent increase from the current levy, which is set to expire in June 2011. It will be up to the Jefferson County Commissioners to set the final number. But Adkins maintains if the Jefferson County levy were to fail, jail staff would be reduced and more inmates would be released sooner.

“That’s the bare-bones minimum,” Adkins said.

Over a five-year period, the $1.19 levy would raise about $8.3 million.

Worshippers flock to Wisconsin to pray alongside Virgin Mary

By Erik Eckholm New York Times News Service

CHAMPION, Wis. — In France, the shrine at Lourdes is surrounded by hundreds of hotels and has received as many as 45,000 pilgrims in a single day. Our Lady of Guadalupe, in Mexico, draws millions of fervent worshippers a year.

Now, a little chapel among the dairy farms here, called Our Lady of Good Help, has joined that august company in terms of religious status, if not global fame. This month, it became one of only about a dozen sites worldwide, and the first in the United States, where apparitions of the Virgin Mary have been officially validated by the Roman Catholic Church.

This year’s practical present? Groceries

By P.J. Huffstutter Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Last Christmas, Karen Hoxmeier bought her brother a cashmere scarf and several pricey gadgets for his digital camera.

This year, she bought the out-ofwork Hollywood cameraman something more essential: groceries.

With the nation’s unemployment rate still high and the economy sluggish, a growing number of people are giving food this holiday season. But it’s not fruitcake, eggnog or Christmas cookies. Instead, the quiet voice of frugality is prompting consumers

“People are recognizing that gift cards can come from the heart.”

— Kathy Grannis, National Retail Federation spokeswoman to wrap up baskets of kitchen staples, boxes of meat and grocery store gift cards to help loved ones stock dwindling pantries.

Hoxmeier got the idea after sneaking a peek inside her younger brother

Bill’s kitchen cabinets. She found them pretty bare, she said, “even for a guy.”

For months, her 35-year-old sibling had cut back to make ends meet. His cable TV? Canceled. The phone? Long gone. Shopping trips for vegetarian specialties at his favorite market, Trader Joe’s? Out. So Hoxmeier headed to the eclectic grocery chain this month to purchase a gift card.

“He’s getting thin,” said Hoxmeier, 37, a mother of three who lives in Murrieta, Calif. “He can use food.”

Haiti not the first stop for deadly cholera strain

By Frances Robles McClatchy-Tribune News Service

MIAMI — The cholera outbreak ravaging Haiti is part of a worldwide pandemic that began 50 years ago and should be easy to stop — with technology developed in the 1800s.

Haiti’s poor sanitation system, however, makes it vulnerable to a disease that first swept the United States and other parts of the world more than 150 years ago. The current global wave of cholera — the seventh in recorded history — made its way from Asia to Africa then Latin America, and is now back for its second strike at this hemisphere.

But as other countries in the region slowed the disease in its tracks by developing better sanitation and medical response systems, Haiti was blindsided by an organism not seen in the Caribbean since 1850 and that may have been introduced there by Nepalese troops serving as United Nations peacekeepers.

If history is a guide, the outbreak that has already killed at least 2,000 people in Haiti could take thousands more lives there over the next several years before it is contained, experts said.

The disease has stricken perhaps 100,000 people, and U.N. officials say both the number of dead and ill may have been underreported.

“There shouldn’t be those numbers of deaths in Haiti,” said Chris Hamlin, a University of Notre Dame historian who wrote “Cholera: A Biography.”

“This outbreak is surprisingly big to me. Most outbreaks are more immediately confronted.

This is not rocket science.”

too long to seek help or authorities have not managed to get adequate treatment and hydration supplies where they are most needed, experts said.

The pandemic spreads The current pandemic was first detected in 1961, Tauxe said.

It languished in Asia for 10 years, and then spent a decade wreaking havoc in Africa.

“It affected almost all the inhabited world, except for maybe Australia,” said Tauxe, who began working on the disease in 1984. “We started waiting, thinking: When is it going to arrive in the West?”

The answer: January 1991, when cholera came to Chancay, a small village near Lima, Peru.

It spread through Latin America and took a decade to contain.

Sometimes dozens of passengers from South American flights would arrive in the U.S. sick.

“It was severe. It came to every country in Latin America except Paraguay and Uruguay,” said University of California, Berkeley, anthropologist Charles Briggs, author of the book “Stories in the Time of Cholera,” which chronicled the epidemic’s toll among the indigenous people of Venezuela.

Experts agree that cholera is wildly unpredictable. When the disease swept Latin America, sickening a million people in the

first five years, the Caribbean was left unscathed.

“The Caribbean braced for it — and it didn’t come, even though people were dying in Venezuela, just seven miles from Trinidad.”

That’s one of the reasons Haiti was so unprepared for the current outbreak. While Peruvian doctors, like those in Bangladesh, became world masters at treatment, Haiti’s health corps had virtually no training in the disease, experts said.

Now easily prevented “Cholera in this millennium should kill no one,” Briggs said.

“It is easily prevented with clean water and easily treated with IVs. Cholera is still one of the clearest, most persistent and most repugnant ways to demonstrate the gaps between the haves and the have-nots.”

In Haiti, conditions are ripe for cholera to linger for years, and to make a significant comeback in other places in the hemisphere with extreme poverty and a lack of clean water, public health experts say.

History shows that a key element to containing epidemics is having lots of clean water at hand — not just to prevent the illness in healthy people, but to treat the sick.

“Haiti,” Briggs said, “is a powder keg for cholera.”

LOS ANGELES — Young female chimps carry sticks as a form of “play-mothering,” much in the same way girls cradle their dolls, scientists said Monday.

The findings, published online in the journal Current Biology, imply that gender roles might be more biologically rooted than some people think, the authors said — and that might hold for human beings, too.

Lead author Sonya Kahlenberg, a biological anthropologist at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, looked at incidences of stick-carrying in chimps in a community in Kibale National Park in Uganda over a period of 14 years. After examining more than 100 cases, she and co-author Richard Wrangham, a biological anthropologist at Harvard University, noticed a distinct gender difference. Of the young females, 67 percent carried sticks, as opposed to just 31 percent of males.

Aside from their other stickrelated activities — using them to probe holes that might hold honey or water, or brandishing them like weapons — the young chimps would also occasionally cradle a longer, thicker stick as they went about their business, almost as if it were a baby.

They would even bring the sticks into their nests — which never happened with the sticks used for honey-hunting or playfighting. Some of the young chimps even played the “airplane” game: lying on their backs and lifting the stick in the air, much as human parents

entertain their youngsters.

The authors argue that the stick-carrying demonstrates a type of “play-mothering.” Those males who did carry sticks stopped doing so as they grew older, and the females would cease when they had real babies of their own.

“This is an entirely new way of thinking with which I entirely agree,” said Joyce Benenson, a developmental psychologist at Emmanuel College in Boston who was not involved in the research. The same tendencies can be seen in human baby girls and boys, she added, at a time too early for parents to have imposed their gender ideas on their infants.

Kahlenberg pointed to previous research showing that when presented with dolls or trucks, female chimps in captivity preferred the dolls while males went for the trucks. The males may have gravitated toward the trucks because they intuitively favor toys that allow more freedom of movement, she said.

But Kahlenberg added it was probable that the stick-carrying was a socially learned tradition subtly passed down from one generation to the next, unique to this particular chimpanzee community.

“It’s kind of a unique case of having nature and nurture in one community. ... Everything is so intertwined,” she said.

She herself is waiting to see which toys her 9-month-old daughter picks up. “Right now it’s just blocks. ... It’s too early to say,” she said.

Study: Breast-fed children perform better in school

By Shari Roan Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Breastfeeding infants for at least six months appears to give children an advantage in school, according to a study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Many other studies have also found a small effect on school performance from breast-feeding. This study, however, was unique in that boys appeared to benefit the most.

The researchers, from the University of Western Australia in Perth, have followed 2,868 children since the early

’90s. The study showed that, at age 10, boys who were breastfed for six months or longer scored higher in math, reading and spelling compared with boys who were breast-fed for less than six months.

Girls who were breast-fed for at least six months showed a small improvement in reading.

The researchers controlled for other factors that could influence school performance, such as family income and education.

Breast milk is rich in longchain, polyunsaturated fatty acids that are critical to brain development.

Highly deadly disease For years, the acute intestinal bacterial infection ravaged entire cities, killing 25 percent of its victims, many of them within hours.

“Cholera is still a regular feature of life in many parts of the developing world,” said Robert Tauxe, deputy director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases.

“In the 19th century, it was a regular feature of life everywhere.”

First spotted in the Americas in 1832, it went up the Mississippi, down the Erie Canal and eventually swept New York City tenements. By the 1850s, huge epidemics were sweeping the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe. In 1850, thousands died in London and in Hamburg, Germany.

“Back then, nobody knew how to treat it,” Tauxe said by telephone from Haiti, where he is helping health care providers battle the illness. “A quarter of the patients would die.”

Today, cholera sickens 3 million to 5 million people a year, killing up to 130,000 of them, said Peter Hotez, president of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

In most countries, about 1 percent of the sick die. In Haiti, the death rate is 4 percent, suggesting that either patients are waiting

T S Embassies bombed in Rome

By Rachel Donadio and J. David Goodman New York Times News Service

ROME — Parcel bombs exploded in the hands of employees at the Swiss and Chilean embassies in Rome on Thursday in coordinated attacks that the authorities said were the work of Italian anarchists.

The explosions came at a time of heightened tensions, with Europe on high alert for a possible attack by Islamic terrorists and Rome on edge after the police discovered a rudimentary explosive device in the subway this week. They also followed student protests here last week that turned violent and came as the government of the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, appeared poised to collapse.

As embassies across Rome stepped up security, an Italian anarchist group claimed responsibility for the attacks, police said. Earlier, Italy’s interior minister said an initial investigation indicated that the bombs might have been the work of anarchists.

EPA issues emissions timetable

By Matthew L. Wald New York Times News Service

The Environmental Protection Agency announced a timetable on Thursday for issuing rules limiting greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and oil refineries, signaling a resolve to press ahead on such regulation even as it faces stiffening opposition in Congress.

The agency said it would propose performance standards for new and refurbished power plants next July, with final rules to be issued in May 2012. Proposed emissions standards for new oil refineries will be published next December, it said, with the final rules due in November 2012; rules for existing plants would come later.

But the EPA was vague on how stringent the rules would be and how deep a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions would result.

Gina McCarthy, the assistant administrator for air and radiation, said the rules would be “cost-effective” but declined to be more specific, saying only that the agency would consider

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is planning the first major reorganization of his administration, preparing to shuffle several positions in the West Wing as he tries to fortify his political team for the realities of divided government and his own re-election.

The president is studying how to maximize the power of the executive branch, advisers say, seeking insight from veterans of previous administrations and fresh advice from business leaders to guide the second half of his term.

He is reviewing the restructuring plan during the holidays and intends to make the first announcements in the opening days of January.

A reshaping of the economic team, beginning by naming a new director of the National Economic Council, is among the most urgent priorities of the new year.

New York Times News Service

A seven-year effort by the Central Intelligence Agency to hide its relationship with a Swiss family who once acted as moles inside the world’s most successful atomic black market hit a turning point Thursday when a Swiss magistrate recommended charging the men with trafficking in technology and information for making nuclear arms.

The prospect of a prosecution, and a public trial, threatens to expose some of the CIA’s deepest secrets if defense lawyers try to protect their clients by revealing how they operated on the agency’s behalf. It could also tarnish what the Bush administration once hailed as a resounding victory in breaking up the nuclear arms network by laying bare

Californians face cleanup after flooding, mudslides

By Amy Taxin The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Many California residents who endured flooding, mudslides and evacuations during a weeklong onslaught of rain must now clean up or even rebuild — and could face the prospect of not being able to spend Christmas at home.

The storm’s push across the West left a muddy mess Thursday across Southern California and the threat of avalanches in Nevada, where Clark County officials urged residents of Mount Charleston, near Las Vegas, to leave after snow slides near two mountain hamlets.

Preliminary damage estimates throughout California were already in the tens of millions of dollars and were expected to rise. Acting Gov. Abel

Maldonado declared a state of emergency in three more counties, adding Los Angeles, Kings and Santa Barbara counties to the list of six released earlier in the week.

The inland region of Southern California east of Los Angeles was emerging as among the hardest-hit areas, especially San Bernardino County.

In Highland, people were literally chased from their homes by walls of mud and water, leaving behind dwellings strung with holiday lights. They returned Thursday to find their neighborhood inundated with mud.

Five homes were destroyed and nearly 70 others damaged.

Leslie Constante burst into tears when she approached her parents’ house and saw a red tag slapped on the garage, meaning authorities had deemed it

how much of it remained intact.

“It’s like a puzzle,” Andreas Muller, the Swiss magistrate, said at a news conference in Bern on Thursday. “If you put the puzzle together you get the whole picture.”

The three men — Friedrich Tinner and his two sons, Urs and Marco — helped run the atomic smuggling ring of A.Q. Khan, an architect of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb program, officials in several countries have said. In return for millions of dollars, according to former Bush administration officials, the Tinners secretly worked for the CIA as well, not only providing information about the Khan network’s manufacturing and sales efforts, which stretched from Iran to Libya to North Korea, but also helping the agency introduce flaws into the equipment sent to some of those countries.

The Bush administration went to extraordinary lengths to protect the men from prosecution, even persuading Swiss authorities to destroy equipment and information found on their computers and in their homes and businesses — actions that may now imperil efforts to prosecute them.

The announcement by the Swiss magistrate Thursday, recommending their prosecution for nuclear smuggling, is a turning point in the investigation. A trial would bring to the fore a case that Pakistan has insisted is closed. Prosecuting the case could also expose in court a tale of CIA break-ins in Switzerland and of a still unexplained decision by the agency not to seize electronic copies of a number of nuclear bomb designs found on the computers of the Tinner family.

For-profit colleges double spending to beat aid rules

After the drills on Monday, the North’s official news agency said it was “not worth reacting” to the exercise. South Korea followed those drills with three days of naval exercises, and on Thursday, the South held large-scale military exercises between its capital, Seoul, and the border with the North.

President Lee Myung-bak of South Korea vowed Thursday to conduct a quick counterattack if South Korean territory was attacked again.

“I thought patience would bring peace to this land,” Lee said during a visit to an army unit in Kangwon Province, the Yonhap news service reported.

U.N. confirms 173 dead in Ivory Coast

HONG KONG — North Korea, breaking from the restraint it showed this week during military exercises by the South, said Thursday that it was prepared to use its nuclear weapons if it was attacked.

The North is “fully prepared to launch a sacred war,” the minister of the People’s Armed Forces, Kim Young-chun, said in comments carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency and quoted

by Western news media. North Korea’s comments are typically bellicose, but they had been low key this week as South Korea held military exercises across its territory.

On Monday, the South staged live-fire artillery drills on Yeonpyeong Island, which was shelled by the North’s artillery on Nov. 23. Four South

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — A close ally of Ivory Coast’s wouldbe president Alassane Ouattara on Thursday called on the International Criminal Court to investigate possible crimes as the United Nations confirmed 173 people have died in the ongoing crisis.

Ivory Coast was plunged into violence after incumbent Laurent Gbagbo refused to cede power to Ouattara — the man the world sees as the rightful winner of last month’s presidential polls.

“We are waiting for the ICC to be able to send a mission to Ivory Coast ... and for all who are implicated in one way or another be transferred to The Hague,” Ouattara’s prime minister Guillaume Soro, also the head of former northern rebel group New Forces, told the French daily Liberation.

“We fervently hope the international community doesn’t take too long to realize that the place of Gbagbo is not in the presidential palace, but at the ICC in The Hague.”

Soro repeated his assertion that over 200 people have been killed in the last week as Gbagbo cracks down, allegedly with the use of Liberian and Angolan mercenaries to operate death squads.

China’s shift on Korea helps U.S. relations

By Mark Landler New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Few debates have strained relations between the United States and China more this year than how to handle an unruly North Korea.

But after a tense week, when the threat of war hung over the Korean Peninsula, the Obama admin-

istration and Beijing seem finally to be on the same page.

Administration officials said the Chinese government had embraced a U.S. plan to press the North to reconcile with the South after its deadly attacks on a South Korean island and a warship. The U.S. believes the Chinese also worked successfully to curb North

Korea’s belligerent behavior.

China’s pressure, several senior officials said this week, might help explain why North Korea did not respond militarily to livefire drills conducted this week by the South Korean military, when a previous drill drew an artillery barrage from the North that killed four South Koreans.

Groceries Continued from A1 Retailers and industry analysts alike say Christmas shopping at the grocery store is growing in popularity. Among consumers purchasing gift cards, grocery stores are expected to rank fourth behind discount, department and drug stores this holiday season, according to a survey by the National Retail Federation.

“Grocery stores have long been the ones open late, or at certain hours, during the holiday season for last-minute shoppers,” said Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the trade group. “Now, as they’re offering gift cards and books and DVDs, people are expanding on the idea of the grocery store providing more than just food for the holiday meal.”

For shopper Matt Halton, a stop at the Pavilions in Seal Beach, Calif., this week meant wrapping up his holiday shopping: two $25 Starbucks gift cards for his brother, who works in real estate; and a $100 prepaid Visa card and a trio of cooking magazines for his daughter, who has been learning to cook after being laid off from her sales job this summer.

“It can get expensive going to the grocery store,” Halton said.

“It’s nice to know they’ll use these.”

Christmas shopping at the supermarket is an attitudinal shift food retailers are eager to encourage. Consumers at Whole Foods Market and Bristol Farms stores are snapping up gift cards, and stepping up purchases of sweets, bottles of wine and baskets

Lorraine Estradas one of her custom-made food baskets at Bristol Farms in South Pasadena on Tuesday. “This year our sales were double in comparison to last year,” said Cancino. stuffed with seasonal snacks, according to company officials. At supermarket chain Ralphs, gift cards have seen single-digit increases over last year, company officials said.

“I’m seeing requests for grocery store cards everywhere,” including on “angel” trees at community centers, said Kendra Doyel, spokeswoman for Ralphs.

“I knew they were popular, but this year, it seems they’re more so.”

At Sunflower Farmers Market, a 32-store grocery chain in the Southwest that specializes in organic food, same-store sales of grocery gift cards have jumped as much as 30 percent, said company President Chris Sherrell.

“Customers are telling us that food, particularly some of the

specialty items, eat up a lot of the family budget,” Sherrell said.

“We’re hearing a lot of people ask, ‘What do they need? What’s practical?’ They know food isn’t going to go to waste.”

For Polly Blitzer, giving groceries was a way to care for an aging loved one. Beatrice Gage, her childhood nanny and a woman Blitzer considers a second mother, lives on a fixed income in rural Louisiana. A recent dentures bill cost Gage $600, eating up half her monthly income.

During a visit in May, Blitzer found limp vegetables in the woman’s refrigerator.

“She told me there were still good parts,” said Blitzer, 35, editor in chief of Beauty Blitz Media in New York. Blitzer immediately called a market in Louisiana to

arrange for $250 worth of grocery credit for the elderly woman. Blitzer contacted the store again this month to add more money to Gage’s account.

“She walked down the aisle in my wedding. She’s outlived my biological family,” Blitzer said. “She’s frail, old and proud, and it’s my turn to take care of her.”

Gift cards, in general, are once again expected to remain the most requested holiday gift this year, according to the retail federation. Americans will spend an estimated $24.78 billion on all manner of gift cards this holiday season; that’s an average of $145.61 per purchaser, up from $139.91 last year, according to the federation.

And shoppers are reaching more frequently for a gift card that results in a tasty treat. Of the people who took part in the federation’s survey, 10.8 percent said they would buy a grocery store gift card, up from 10.6 percent in 2009.

One in three people said they planned to pick up a gift card for a restaurant, while 13.9 percent said they’d buy cards to coffee shops such as Starbucks, up from 13 percent.

“What’s different this year, such as with the grocery cards, is people are recognizing that gift cards can come from the heart,” Grannis said.

“If people can’t shop for themselves, then gift cards are giving them a way to buy something they normally wouldn’t have bought for themselves.”

Jail Continued from A1 Capt. Tony Lewis, the Jefferson County jail commander, said when the Jefferson County jail opened in 2001, there was a list of more than 100 people waiting to serve time. Many of the people never served because there was no space.

“In Jefferson County, if you commit crimes you go through the system, and you (serve) whatever the court sentences you to.

We’re one of the few counties in the state that has available jail beds and can do that. And it’s something to be proud of,” Lewis said.

The Jefferson County jail is a 160-bed facility. With current staffing, it can house about 90 inmates. Adkins said he’s laid off four people since he’s taken over, and he needs at least 19 employees to run the jail safely.

The annual jail budget is about $4.15 million.

Costs associated with housing inmates have increased, according to jail staff. The rising costs of powers, natural gas and other costs associated with feeding and clothing inmates has increased.

Lewis said since the jail opened, the crime rate in Jefferson County has decreased. In 2000, the crime rate in Jefferson County was 126 crimes per 1,000 people. In 2008, the most recent date data is available, the rate was 108 crimes per 1,000 people.

Jefferson County Commissioners John Hatfield and Wayne Fording voted in favor of putting the $1.19 levy on the November ballot. Commissioner Mike Ahern was in favor of keeping the levy at 99 cents. Hatfield said he still supports the $1.19 figure but has to evaluate what number he believes voters would pass. He believes the jail will need some support from taxpayers.

“It’s a big deal,” Hatfield said of supporting the jail. “Our crime rate went way down when we built the jail.”

Ahern said he will vote again to keep the levy at 99 cents. He thinks there is a better chance of passing the levy at 99 cents, and he is convinced the jail could function at that level.

“I think times are so hard on people, we have to make it hard on ourselves, too,” Ahern said.

“It’s not going to be easy, but we owe it to the voters at this point.”

Economy Continued from A1 President Barack Obama’s $858 billion tax-cut compromise with congressional Republicans is putting more cash in the hands of consumers through a temporary payroll tax cut and an extension of unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed. It is also trying to address one of the biggest impediments to the recovery — the reluctance of companies to invest their piles of cash in new plants and equipment — by granting tax incentives for business investment.

The measured optimism is reminiscent of the mood a year ago, when the economy seemed to be reviving, only to stall again in the spring amid widespread fears caused by the debt crisis in Greece and other European countries.

Even so, economists are increasingly upbeat about the outlook, saying that while the economy in 2011 will not be strong enough to drive unemployment down significantly, it should put the United States on its soundest footing since the financial crisis started an economic tailspin three years ago.

The recession officially ended in June 2009, when the economy started to grow again. Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the country’s output, grew at an annualized rate of 3.7 percent in the first quarter of this year. But then it stalled, with the rate falling to a mere 1.7 percent in the second quarter and 2.6 percent in the third quarter.

Jan Hatzius, the chief U.S. economist at Goldman Sachs, said the economy was likely to grow at an annualized rate of around 3 percent this quarter.

Goldman projected last week that the growth rate would be 4 percent for most of 2011. Morgan Stanley, which raised its growth forecast for 2011 to 4 percent, is even more optimistic, forecasting a rate of 4.5 percent this quarter.

Administration officials, who have been burned by premature optimism in the past, were reluctant to make predictions for next year. But Austan Goolsbee, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers since Septem-

ber, said that a shift in sentiment quickly followed the news of the tax deal.

“There aren’t many policies which, on the day Washington announces them, lead most privatesector forecasters to publicly and significantly revise their forecasts upward,” he said. “This one did.”

There are significant caveats to the more positive outlook. The housing market remains weak, and another sustained drop in prices could badly undercut the economy. Financial markets and the banking system remain vulnerable to a new round of jitters in Europe over the debt burdens of countries like Ireland and Spain.

There is mounting concern about the tattered balance sheets of state and local governments.

While fiscal and monetary policy seems to be helping the economy in the short turn, the tax-cut compromise essentially deferred looming battles over how to cut federal spending and address the government’s huge debt burden.

The Fed’s bond-buying efforts have not prevented long-term interest rates from rising — a phenomenon that is interpreted by optimists as a reaction to higher growth and by pessimists as a demonstration of the ineffectiveness of the central bank’s efforts and the potential for inflation.

And for most of the roughly 8 million Americans who have lost their jobs since the recession began in December 2007, it hardly feels like a recovery.

The unemployment rate remains at its highest level since the early 1980s; it rose to 9.8 percent this month and is likely to remain above 9 percent through all of next year, confirming the view that the United States is in another jobless recovery like the ones that followed the last two recessions, in 1990-91 and in 2001.

The Fed is likely to end its $600 billion bond-buying program in mid-2011, meaning monetary policy might be providing less of a kick to the economy by the end of the year. Officials in the Obama administration also seem to agree that after the $787 billion stimulus last year and the $858 billion tax-cut compromise just approved by Congress, the government’s arsenal of fiscal tools has just about been used up.

By Jo Becker New York Times News Service

Despite sanctions and trade embargoes, over the past decade the U.S. government has allowed American companies to do billions of dollars in business with Iran and other countries blacklisted as state sponsors of terrorism, an examination by The New York Times has found.

At the behest of a host of companies — from Kraft Food and Pepsi to some of the nation’s largest banks — a little-known office of the Treasury Department has granted nearly 10,000 licenses for involving countries that have been cast into economic purgatory, beyond the reach of U.S. business.

Most of the licenses were approved under a decade-old law requiring that agricultural and medical humanitarian aid be exempted from sanctions. But the law, pushed by the farm lobby and other industry groups, was written so broadly that allowable humanitarian aid has included cigarettes, Wrigley gum, Louisiana hot sauce, weight-loss remedies, body-building supplements and sports rehabilitation equipment sold to the institute that trains Iran’s Olympic athletes.

Hundreds of other licenses were approved because they passed a litmus test: They were deemed to serve U.S. foreign policy goals.

And many clearly do, among them deals to provide famine re-

Dugan Continued from A1 If everything works out, Dugan will spend the next two years making the 6,500-mile commute back and forth from Bend to Palau. If it doesn’t, he said he’ll explore other opportunities — at 59, he says he has no plans of sitting back and pulling the plug on his career in public service.

“I think I still have a lot to offer,” he said.

lief in North Korea or to improve Internet connections — and nurture democracy — in Iran. But the examination also found cases in which the foreign-policy benefits were considerably less clear.

In one instance, a U.S. company was permitted to bid on a pipeline job that would have helped Iran sell natural gas to Europe, even though the United States opposes such projects. Several other U.S. businesses were permitted to deal with foreign companies believed to be involved in terrorism or weapons proliferation. In one such case, involving equipment bought by a medical waste disposal plant in Hawaii, the government was preparing to deny the license until an influential politician intervened.

In an interview, the Obama administration’s point man on sanctions, Stuart Levey, said that focusing on the exceptions “misses the forest for the trees.”

Indeed, the exceptions represent only a small counterweight to the overall force of America’s trade sanctions, which are among the toughest in the world. Now they are particularly focused on Iran, where on top of a broad embargo that prohibits most trade, the United States and its allies this year adopted a new round of sanctions that have effectively shut Iran off from much of the international financial system.

“No one can doubt that we are serious about this,” Levey said.

But as the administration tries to press Iran even harder to abandon its nuclear program — officials this week announced several

Tough cases Dugan’s work in the district attorney’s office began in 1978, a few years after he graduated from law school at Lewis & Clark. His ID card from the time — now pasted in a scrapbook staff members made for his retirement — shows a young, serious-looking deputy prosecutor with a dark beard.

In the early 1980s, Dugan left the office to work in private practice with his wife, Judy Stiegler.

But after a few years, Dugan decided he wanted to return to the other side of the aisle, this time as the boss.

He took office as district attorney in January 1987.

Back then, Bend was home to fewer than 20,000 people. The staff at the DA’s office — and the caseload — was smaller, and cases tended to be opened and closed more quickly than they are today.

“Thirty-two years ago, we’d go through two DUII cases in one day,” he said. “Now, you can’t go through one in two days.”

But from the start, there were plenty of challenging cases.

A few months after Dugan began his first term, 18-yearold Randy Guzek and two other young men shot and stabbed a Terrebonne couple to death.

Guzek was convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to death, but the sentence was overturned three times. Decades later, the case kept coming back to Dugan’s desk.

In June, Guzek was sentenced to death for a fourth time. But the 23-year-old case continues to weigh heavily on Dugan’s mind.

“I take home the Guzek case every day,” he said.

In the years that followed, Dugan prosecuted rapists, child abusers and thieves. He was called out to the scenes of grisly murders and spent hours with crime victims and their families.

Some images and conversations are hard to forget, even years later.

One case, involving a baby that died after being shaken, left him with a particularly grisly memory.

“There was a great big table in the autopsy room where you expect there to be a great big body,” he recalled. “And it looks like a baby doll. It sticks you right between the eyes that this was a baby that couldn’t protect itself.”

After a few years in office,

Dugan said he began to realize that the best approach to keeping the community safe was bigger than putting criminals away. He reached out to other local groups as an advocate on issues like child abuse.

In the early 1990s, Dugan was part of a team that helped open the KIDS Center, a facility where young abuse victims are examined and interviewed.

Shelly Smith, the center’s executive director, said Dugan pushed hard to get the effort up and running.

“Mike saw the vision before the state allocated any funding to child advocacy centers,” she said.

“He supported it 100 percent.”

Over the years, the center expanded its budget and its services. Last year, Smith said, more than 600 children received evaluations and treatment.

Dugan also spearheaded an effort that became known as the Safe Schools Alliance. The group, made up of education and law enforcement officials, works to increase safety in local schools.

More than a job “To him, the job of district attorney was more than just, as he likes to say, ‘putting bad guys in jail,’” Stiegler said. “He realized that he could be a force within the community. The position was one of those in Deschutes County that gave him a bully pulpit, and he saw that his responsibility was to use that in a public way.”

From his office and in the courtroom, Dugan worked to expand the options for people who might be better served with treatment, rather than prison time.

He started and expanded specialty court programs, including mental health court, which allows offenders who meet certain criteria to get help.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Darryl Nakahira, who has worked with Dugan since 1996, said Dugan was the type of boss who didn’t try to get someone else to do the heavy lifting.

“Nothing was beneath him,” Nakahira said. “He could have assigned the mental health court to another junior deputy, but Mike thought it was the right thing to do, so he took it on.”

Through the years, Dugan worked side by side with local

new sanctions measures — some diplomats and foreign affairs experts worry that by allowing the sale of even small-ticket items with no military application, the United States muddies its moral and diplomatic authority.

What’s more, in countries like Iran where elements of the government have assumed control over large portions of the economy, it is increasingly difficult to separate exceptions that help the people from those that enrich the state. Indeed, records show that the United States has approved the sale of luxury food items to chain stores owned by blacklisted banks, despite requirements that potential purchasers be scrutinized for just such connections.

Enforcement of U.S. sanctions rests with Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, which can make exceptions with guidance from the State Department.

The Treasury office resisted disclosing information about the licenses, but after The Times filed a federal Freedom of Information lawsuit, the government agreed to turn over a list of companies granted exceptions and, in a little more than 100 cases, underlying files explaining the nature and details of the deals.

The process took three years, and the government heavily redacted many documents, saying they contained trade secrets and personal information. Still, the files offer a snapshot — albeit a piecemeal one — of a system that at times appears out of sync with its own licensing policies and U.S. goals abroad.

law enforcement officers on a variety of cases. Former Deschutes County Sheriff Les Stiles, who worked for the Bend Police Department when Dugan first took office, said most local cops got along well with the district attorney.

“He was clearly an advocate on behalf of public safety and could be counted on at all times to keep that priority uppermost,” Stiles said.

Voters re-elected Dugan five times. In May, when he decided to put his name on the ballot for another term, Dugan said he was confident and optimistic about retaining his seat.

As the campaign progressed, however, it became clear that he was facing a significant challenge from Patrick Flaherty, one of his former deputies. In the run-up to the election, both candidates fired shots back and forth about management styles and politics.

In the end, Flaherty took more than 60 percent of the vote.

Moving forward Dugan said the defeat didn’t come easy.

“There were some political issues that were prevalent in May 2010 ... I think the anti-incumbent sentiment had a bigger effect on my loss than the cases I prosecuted,” Dugan said.

Stiles, who backed Flaherty in the election, said he thinks it is time for a change — but added that it’s not because Dugan didn’t do a good job.

“With anybody that’s been in office for this long, there are a number of folks who can question judgment or decisions or what happened,” Stiles said. “But in the end, the thing that’s most important for this community and Mike Dugan is real simple.

He had an absolute commitment to this community and the concept of public safety. He worked very hard for 24 years to make sure that his vision of public safety and the public’s interests were being taken care of.”

For months after the election, Dugan wasn’t sure what he’d do. He focused on the steady stream of cases coming into his office and slowly began to explore other opportunities. When he stumbled upon the job in Palau, he was inspired — though he acknowledged that his wife of 32 years might have some reservations.

“She thinks I’m having a midlife crisis,” he said.

Once he steps down, Dugan said he’s looking forward to spending more time with his children and grandchildren, and working around the house.

And for the next week, he’s going to continue doing the work that has come to define much of his life.

“I don’t lose sleep about the job I’ve had, the job I do,” Dugan said. “When I go to bed, I can say, ‘I did a good job for the community today.’”

Virgin Mary Continued from A1 In 1859, the year after Mary is said to have appeared in Lourdes, a Belgian immigrant here named Adele Brise said she was visited three times by Mary, who hovered between two trees in a bright light, clothed in dazzling white with a yellow sash around her waist and a crown of stars above her flowing blond locks.

As instructed, Brise devoted her life to teaching Catholic beliefs to children.

Cascade Bancorp shareholders overwhelmingly approved proposals Thursday to more than double the company’s authorized shares and issue $177 million in stock to investors.

“This is one of the final steps in concluding the capital raise needed to allow the

bank to grow and provide more credit,” said Patricia Moss, president and CEO of Bendbased Cascade Bancorp, parent company of Bank of the Cascades. The investment will allow the bank to raise its capital ratios, a key provision of a regulatory order the bank has operated under since August 2009.

“This vote was one step in a very long and difficult process to secure the addition-

al capital we needed,” Moss said.

“The most challenging part of the process was actually getting the investors to commit the $177 million, which we announced in November. People were worried before we made that announcement, because we had a lot to lose,” she said.

“We are very close to having this transaction completed. This is an important milestone,” Moss said after the special shareholders meeting.

NeighborImpact getting HUD grant The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is awarding $635,286 to 10 housing agencies in the Northwest, including $46,799 to NeighborImpact in Bend, for myriad housing counseling services, HUD said Thursday.

Housing counseling grants will assist families in becoming first-time homebuyers and remaining homeowners after their purchase, a HUD news release said. HUD-approved counseling agencies also offer financial literacy training to renters, and homeless individuals and families.

“This critical funding will help counseling organizations continue to assist families in making more informed choices before they purchase a home and counsel families facing foreclosure,” HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said in the release.

Tax evasion inquiry shifts to smaller Swiss banks

By Lynnley Browning New York Times News Service

The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into Swiss regional banks that it suspects may have helped scores of wealthy Americans evade taxes despite a broad crackdown on Swiss secrecy, two people briefed on the investigation said Thursday.

As part of the investigation, the latest effort to pry open the often opaque Swiss system, federal authorities are looking at Wall Street banks that provide banking services to the regional companies, known as cantonal banks, these people said.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, they said that the Wall Street banks might have been used by the regional banks to pool client money so that individual clients could not be identified by the United States authorities.

Renewed interest in converting natural gas into diesel

By Matthew L. Wald New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Diesel and jet fuel are usually made from crude oil. But with oil prices rising, even as a glut of natural gas keeps prices for that fuel extraordinarily cheap, a bit of expensive alchemy is suddenly starting to look financially appealing: turning natural gas into liquid fuels.

A South African firm, Sasol, announced Monday that it would spend just over 1 billion Canadian dollars to buy a half-interest in a Canadian shale gas field, so it can explore turning natural gas into diesel and other liquids.

Sasol’s proprietary conversion technology was developed decades ago to help the apartheid government of South Africa survive an international oil embargo, and it is a refinement of the ones used by the Germans to make fuel for the Wehrmacht during World War II. See Gas / B5

E-readers under Christmas trees may give e-books chance to take root

By Julie Bosman New York Times News Service

The publishing industry used to be afraid of e-books. In 2010, it embraced them.

Publishers expanded their digital divisions, experimented with video-enhanced e-books, worked on digitizing their older titles and made sure that new books were available simultaneously in e-book and hardcover editions.

Now, having laid the tracks for digital growth, they are waiting to see what their efforts will bring in 2011.

“Is it going to be cause for celebration because it takes us to another level, and makes books accessible and popular in new ways?” said Anne Messitte, publisher of Vintage/Anchor, a division of Random House. “Or will the story be different?”

E-books now make up 9 to 10

percent of trade-book sales, a rate that grew hugely this year, after accounting for less than half that percentage by the end of last year. Publishers are predicting that digital sales will be 50 percent higher or even double in 2011 what they were in 2010.

January could be the biggest month ever for e-book sales, as possibly hundreds of thousands of people download books on the e-readers that they receive as Christmas gifts.

The anticipation of that jump in sales, and a feeling that the recession may have loosened its grip, has

dissipated some of the death-ofprint malaise that has lingered in the book publishing industry for years — and helped soften the blow of a significant drop in hardcover sales this year.

“There’s definitely less doom and gloom,” said Peter Ginna, publisher and editorial director for Bloomsbury Press, an imprint of Bloomsbury USA, which published “The Finkler Question,” the winner of this year’s Man Booker Prize.

E-book Continued from B1 “Most of us publishers have seen big gains from electronic books this year. We’ve seen some tailing off of the print sales, but for most companies, the growth of e-books has been so great that there’s a lot of revenue coming from that side that’s sort of gravy for us. So we’re all feeling pretty good,” said Ginna.

In a year-end letter to employees, the chairman and chief executive of Random House, Markus Dohle, cited the company’s growth in e-book sales among its “remarkable accomplishments.”

“For some of our U.S. fall publication titles, nearly half of the overall first-week sales have been in the e-book format,” Dohle wrote. “Led by this upsurge, our worldwide digital sales for 2010 are projected to grow by 250 percent over 2009’s.”

For example George W. Bush’s memoir, “Decision Points,” has sold more than 1.8 million hardcover copies and 200,000 e-books since it was published last month, said David Drake, a spokesman for the Crown Publishing Group, part of Random House.

David Shanks, chief executive of Penguin Group USA, said that when e-books first began to take off two years ago, “the state of publishing at the time was getting rather grim.”

In 2010 “the picture is really dramatically better,” he said. “For the first time in a long time, there are many more places for people to buy books. Some of the limitations of the great brick-and-mortar bookstore is that they only have space to display X amount of books. Now, if you find an author you love, you can find all of their books immediately at your fingertips.”

Last year, the e-book marketplace was overwhelmingly dominated by Amazon and its Kindle device, but since then competitors like Barnes & Noble, Apple and Google have jumped in.

But even with widespread access to e-books, publishers have not yet figured out how to sell them more effectively to consumers. Debut fiction and so-called midlist titles — books that are not large commercial successes — are particularly tough sells in digital form, said Peter Hildick-Smith, president of the Codex Group, a book market research company.

“You can have all the availability in the world, but if people don’t know the book exists, it doesn’t matter,” Hildick-Smith said.

A look at the Kindle best-seller list on Amazon shows that it is typically stocked with titles that are also on the print best-seller list — this week, for instance, new novels by John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Patricia Cornwell and David Baldacci. Early next year, The New York Times will begin publishing e-book best-seller lists in its book review section.

Some surveys have indicated that people who purchase e-reading devices subsequently increase the number of books they buy.

And the tastes of e-book buyers have broadened somewhat in recent months, said David Young, chief executive of the Hachette Book Group. Nonfiction books like “Life,” the Keith Richards memoir, and “Cleopatra,” a biography by Stacy Schiff, have sold rapidly in digital form.

Even as the spread of e-reading could expand the universe of book buyers, hardcover sales have suffered — perhaps in part cannibalized by the e-book sales.

According to the Association of American Publishers, adult hardcover sales were down nearly 8 percent in the first 10 months of 2010, compared with the same period in 2009. Since e-books are typically closer in price to a paperback edition than a hardcover (Amazon now sells a hardcover edition of a new Stephen King novel for $14.64 but $12.99 for the e-book version), they could eat away at profits in the long run.

And there remain urgent concerns about the health of the brickand-mortar retail environment.

Many independent booksellers are still struggling in the face of Amazon, big-box retail rivals and e-books. Borders, the chain bookseller, has suffered from declining sales, and a dismal earnings report in early December sent alarm through the industry.

“My number one concern is the survival of the physical bookstore,” said Carolyn Reidy, chief executive of Simon & Schuster. “We need that physical environment because it’s still the place of discovery. People need to see books that they didn’t know they wanted.”

Shanks of Penguin said that even as his company builds its digital business, he is still focused on old-fashioned print publishing.

“People are so caught up in e, e, e,” he said, using the industry shorthand for e-books.

“But no company can afford to look askance at 90 percent of its revenues.”

FCC chief poised to OK Ireland puts $4.8B Comcast-NBC merger in Allied Irish Banks

By Joe Flint and Meg James Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Cable television giant Comcast Corp.’s yearlong quest to win government approval of its proposed $30 billion merger with NBC Universal took a significant step forward Thursday when a key regulator proposed to vote for the deal if the companies agreed to a series of conditions.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski wants to limit the ability of Comcast — which would become the nation’s largest media company — to overpower competitors with its newfound muscle, according to senior FCC officials.

Genachowski is concerned that Comcast, loaded with NBC Universal content, could use

its clout to thwart online video services that would compete with Comcast’s bread-and-butter business of piping hundreds of TV channels into people’s homes.

Comcast, the nation’s largest cable TV operator and provider of broadband Internet service, needs FCC as well as Justice Department approval before it can take control of the entertainment company that owns the NBC broadcast network, Universal Pictures and cable channels such as CNBC, MSNBC, USA and Bravo.

The Comcast-NBC merger is a test for the Obama administration, which has said it intends to make the expansion of the Internet a cornerstone of its regulation of media companies.

Genachowski, an appointee

of President Barack Obama, on Thursday circulated to the four other FCC commissioners a proposed order to approve the deal, which will be reviewed by them and voted on in the next few weeks.

Comcast, which has spent more than $15 million lobbying the government for approval of the deal, is anxious to get the regulatory review behind it.

“After nearly a year, with one of the longest public comment periods in transaction review history, the filing of thousands of substantive comments, and the production of over 500,000 pages of documents by Comcast, we look forward to an expeditious vote in January by the full commission approving the transaction,” Comcast said in a statement.

Ireland moved on Thursday to accelerate the cleanup of its banking crisis, seizing majority control of Allied Irish Banks, once the country’s largest, and consolidating the government’s grip over nearly the entire Irish banking industry.

Using a new mandate that gives the government unprecedented power over banks, Ireland’s finance minister, Brian Lenihan, said he would transfer 3.7 billion euros, or $4.85 billion, from the country’s pension reserves into Allied Irish to guard against loan losses, and delist it from major stock exchanges, largely wiping out shareholders.

The move, which was required under the terms of a 67.5-billion-euro international bailout by the Irish government last month, came as Dublin tried to persuade investors that it could handle a crisis that started in Greece and was spreading to other debt-ridden

nations, including Portugal and possibly Spain.

During the boom years before 2008, Allied was one of several Irish banks that borrowed cheaply and pumped out loans on houses and construction projects. That helped to fuel an American-style housing bubble that went bust, ravaging balance sheets and digging a hole in the nation’s finances as the government paid for the losses.

The latest capital injection means taxpayers effectively own nearly 93 percent of Allied Irish. The bank’s shares slumped Thursday as much as 20 percent, to 32 euro cents, far below its heyday in 2007, when the Irish housing market was booming and its shares traded at nearly 24 euros.

Allied is now the fourth financial institution that the government has effectively nationalized, after Anglo Irish Bank and the building societies EBS and Irish Nationwide. Together, they have cost Irish taxpayers about 85 billion euros.

Shoppers walk along 34th Street in New York last week. Stores are rolling out the deals and expect to be swimming in shoppers on Christmas Eve as shopping stragglers take advantage of a day off work.

Christmas Eve shopping could lead to sales record

By Ellen Gibson and Anne D’Innocenzio The Associated Press

NEW YORK — It’s Black Friday, The Sequel. Stores are rolling out deals and expect to be swimming in shoppers on Christmas Eve today as stragglers take advantage of a day off work. For retailers, the last-minute rush caps the best year since 2007, and possibly ever.

With Christmas falling on a Saturday this year, today is a holiday for most U.S. workers.

That lets shoppers hit the stores first thing in the morning.

“I’m calling it Fantastic Friday, because I really do think it’s going to be one of the busiest days of the year,” said Marshal Cohen, chief fashion industry analyst with researcher NPD Group.

A strong Christmas Eve would round out a surprisingly successful holiday season for retailers. The National Retail Federation predicts that holiday spending will reach $451.5 billion this year, up 3.3 percent over last year. That would be the biggest year-over-year increase since 2006, and the largest total since spending hit a record $452.8 billion in 2007. A strong finish could even give 2010 the crown.

While both are heavy shopping days, Christmas Eve draws a different breed of buyer than Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season.

“Those who get up and brave the cold on Black Friday are usually looking for hot items, not only to buy gifts but to score something for themselves,” said Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation. “They’re planners, and they map out what they want to buy.”

Shoppers who come out on Christmas Eve, on the other hand, were either waiting for the biggest discounts or they didn’t have the money to spend earlier, she said. Or they just tend to dilly-dally.

While many Black Friday shoppers relish the hunt, lastminute buyers are harried and focused on getting things done.

And true to stereotype, they are mostly men, said Dan Jasper, spokesman for Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn.

Accordingly, stores push men’s and women’s sweaters in their circulars, while shoes and children’s apparel take a back seat. Jewelry also tends to be a top last-minute gift item, though that category has been strong throughout the season.

Many people who postponed their shopping this year blame busy schedules. The number of hours U.S. workers are putting in at the office each week has been on the upswing since the official end of the recession in June 2009, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That leaves less time for shopping during the week.

Vivian Lowe, 34, works for an ad agency in Atlanta and didn’t start her shopping until Wednesday. “It just caught up with me this year,” she said.

She spent Thursday at the Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta and plans to hit Target on Christmas Eve because she sees it as a one-stop shop.

Procrastinators like Lowe shouldn’t hit too many snags.

Store inventories are not as depleted as last year, when merchants scared about having too many leftovers saw some empty shelves near the end of the season. But shoppers are not seeing the 75-percent-off-everything fire sales that characterized the 2008 holiday.

Still, many stores are offering discounts this week. Macy’s is offering 30 percent off some bags and jewelry, while the Gap is applying that markdown to everything in the store. At CVS, there are buy-two-get-one free deals on bath-and-body gift sets and discounts on a 7-inch LCD TV and DVD player combo.

Ron and Lisa Johnson, of Indianapolis, came to Circle Center Mall on Thursday morning just to buy boots for their 20-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn Shirar. Nearly four hours later, they sat on a bench with a pile of bags from Nine West, H&M and Forever 21.

“We haven’t found anything that wasn’t on sale,” Lisa said.

Online sales rose 15% this year Online sales increased more than 15 percent this holiday season, according to data released Thursday, the latest confirmation of the growing importance of Internet commerce during retail’s most lucrative time of the year.

Retailers online took in $36.4 billion from Oct. 31 to Dec. 23, compared with $31.5 billion in the period a year ago, according to MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, which tracks all forms of payments for purchases, including cash and checks.

The growth of online purchases is expected to surpass in-store sales this Christmas, though it still represents a small percentage of total sales. The National Retail Federation said last week that it expected sales in November and December to increase 3.3 percent this year, up from 2.3 percent a year ago, to $451.4 billion.

Much of the online increase came in apparel sales, SpendingPulse said, which took in $7.3 billion since Oct. 31, up 25.7 percent from a year ago.

Overall, apparel purchases online accounted for 18.9 percent of the total clothing sales this holiday, SpendingPulse said, up from 16.9 percent a year ago.

Cold, wet weather across much of the country in the last several weeks led consumers to stock up on warm clothing, which has been a boon to retailers, said Michael McNamara, vice president for research and analysis at SpendingPulse. The inclement weather also has led many to shop at home.

A crucial cooperating witness in the most recent round of arrests stemming from the federal government’s insider trading investigation pleaded guilty this month, according to court documents unsealed Thursday.

From 2007 to 2009, Karl Motey, an independent consultant in California, received inside information about the Marvell Technology Group from sources working there, then passed that information to a handful of hedge fund clients, according to the plea. During the same period, he also got tips from a source at United Microelectronics and received inside information from employees at a hedge fund in California.

In exchange for the information, Motey was paid by those he tipped off through brokerage firms in New York City and nearby Westchester County, according to the court documents.

Toyota to pay $10M in settlement LOS ANGELES — For $10 million, Toyota Motor Corp. managed to resolve what was seen as one of the most serious legal challenges in company history.

Yet the amount, less than 1 percent of the titan’s last quarterly profit, could set the tone for the wave of litigation Toyota still faces after problems with sudden acceleration in its vehicles garnered worldwide attention.

The automaker agreed to pay the money, a figure disclosed Wednesday, to settle a lawsuit filed by the relatives of four peo-

ple, including California Highway Patrol officer Mark Saylor, killed in a fiery crash near San Diego in August 2009.

Firm to buy Jo-Ann stores for $1.6B Jo-Ann Stores agreed to a $1.6 billion buyout offer Thursday from Leonard Green & Partners, the latest private equity deal for a retail company.

The $61-a-share bid for JoAnn Stores, which sells fabric and crafts, represents a 34 percent premium to the company’s closing price Wednesday.

Shares of Jo-Ann Stores have risen 26 percent this year, as the company has banked record earnings. Last quarter, Jo-Ann Stores recorded a net profit of $1.09 a share, up more than 20 percent from the same period in 2009.

Shares of Jo-Ann Stores rose 32 percent Thursday to close at $60.19.

Rio Tinto raises bid for coal company Rio Tinto on Thursday bid 3.9 billion Australian dollars, or about $3.9 billion, for Riversdale Mining, a coal mining company based in Sydney that focuses on Africa, increasing an earlier offer by more than 6 percent.

The board of Riversdale backed the deal “in the absence of a superior proposal.”

The board’s recommendation, however, was not unanimous. Narendra Kumar Misra, the representative of Riversdale’s largest shareholder, Tata Steel, abstained from the vote, a move that may portend a bidding war for the company.

A N Fiat prepares for return to American showrooms

By Steven Cole Smith The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel

ORLANDO, Fla. — Ready or not, Fiat is coming to America, and sooner rather than later.

The 2012 Fiat 500 goes on sale in January at about 130 dealerships in the U.S. Most dealers selected have a relationship with Chrysler. Additional dealers will follow in the next two years, as the Fiat lineup increases to include a convertible and other models.

Chrysler has said dealers that sell the Fiat must create a separate showroom for the brand, but since some dealers only received approval in mid-November, the company is allowing for some breathing room before that requirement kicks in.

John Mantione, who heads the Fields Automotive Group of dealerships in Orlando, said the central selling point for the Fiat “will be price. There’s a lot there for the money.”

Indeed, the base Fiat 500, called the Pop, starts at $15,500, not including the as yet undisclosed shipping fee. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo with CD and MP3 players and six speakers, power windows, locks and heated mirrors, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel and seven airbags. Additional safety features include anti-lock disc brakes, stability control and traction control.

Power for all 500 models will be a 1.4-liter, 101-horsepower four-cylinder engine, with a five-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic will be optional. The EPA has not yet rated the 500’s fuel mileage, but it is expected to average about 40 mph. Though you can use regular 87-octane gas, Fiat suggests 91 octane.

Fiat stands for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian for the Italian Automobile Factory of Turin). But it also stands for something else in the U.S. now: The savior of Chrysler, which was bankrupt when the European automaker stepped in and assumed control.

Fiat made no secret at the time that one reason it was interested in Chrysler was that it was a way back into the U.S. market, both for Fiat products and those of a subsidiary, Alfa Romeo. Both brands were once sold in the U.S., and both retreated. This time, they may be back for good.

Ariel Galivan, Detroit-based spokesman for the brand, said that every dealer should have a 500 on display by the end of January, or early February at the latest. “The car will be built in Toluca, Mexico,” he said, “so it’s likely dealers that are closer, such as the one in San Diego, will have cars before the dealers up here in Detroit.”

The Fiat 500 has been slightly Americanized with some minor changes, such as fitting a larger 10.5-gallon gas tank, since Americans drive farther than most of the world.

The Fiat’s central competitor is expected to be the larger, more powerful, more expensive Mini Cooper.

A time traveler with tailfins

By Iver Peterson New York Times News Service

Two thousand miles into the trip, with another 1,000 yet to go, it was a 30-cent fuse that finally stopped us. But maybe that’s the sort of trouble you have to expect when trying to cross the continent in an old car.

Accompanied by my co-driver and longtime photographerfriend, Terry Moore, I started out last fall with a simple goal: Drive a classic convertible coast to coast, mostly following U.S. Route 50 because it is one of the most intact, Interstate-skirting east-west roads still on the maps.

Just two middle-age guys, wives and worries left behind, the open sun-struck road ahead.

And not in just any old car, but a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, a long-neglected castoff that I bought in South Jersey three years ago and had hauled to Vermont for a rebuild of its engine, transmission and brakes. Otherwise, it remained original — the black paint worn, its red leather tuck-and-roll seat covers splitting at various seams, and whatever mysteries and ailments haunting the wiring, the cooling system and the drive train waiting to reveal themselves.

Our hope was for a trip that would reacquaint us with the delights of auto journeys from the days before the anomie of Interstate travel, before cruise control, cup holders and satellite radio became ubiquitous. Radial tires, a portable GPS unit and a third brake light mounted above the trunk lid were our only concessions to modernity.

We knew that the car would also attract attention — it is not small or subtle — and create opportunities to meet people with stories to tell. It did not take long for the adventures to unfold.

‘A very rare car’ “That’s a rare car,” said Jim Fuccello, manager of Fuccello’s Custom Exhaust in Trenton, N.J., after his shop corrected mistakes made by the installer of the dual muffler system.

“A very rare car,” he added for emphasis. It sounded like a warning — that setting off for California in such an unusual car might not be the wisest plan.

Only 815 Biarritz convertibles were made in 1958, the year of a deep recession. Quad headlights were a recent innovation, and tailfins were reaching new heights. Still, compared with the egregious fins of the 1959 models tacked on over the objections of Cadillac stylists as GM’s panicked response to the 1957 Chrysler line, our car seemed quite subdued.

Iver Peterson bought a long-neglected 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz in South Jersey three years ago and had its engine, transmission and brakes rebuilt. Otherwise, it remains original.

Fuccello’s comment was wellfounded. As romantic as it may sound to drive off into the sunset in a 1958 Eldorado, it would be an unusual use of the car. For starters, insurers of collector cars limit how many miles the cars may be driven — typically a few thousand a year — and restrict the use to club meets, “parades, cultural and educational events,” to quote a typical policy, and Sunday drives with the family.

Additionally, the rarity of the Eldorado meant that it was more than just another valuable car; in the case of an unrestored original like mine, it would be essentially irreplaceable. Little wonder, then, that when I wrote 6,000 miles on the insurance application as my intended driving distance, the company called to ask why it was so high.

I replied that I wanted to take a cross-country trip, starting in Ocean City, Md., the eastern terminus of U.S. Route 50. The highway ends 3,000 miles west, in Sacramento, Calif.

“For club events and meets?” I was asked.

“Um, yes,” I answered.

Trouble early on Lars Kneller, a family doctor in LaPorte, Ind., who is also president of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club, agreed that owners typically used their cars for collector gatherings.

“For most of us, it’s just local,” Kneller said. “We do have some members who drive to meets all over the country. But others are just on and off a trailer, or drive

to church on Sundays.”

He added: “We don’t drive them much, and we’re pretty careful when we do.”

Our plan, by contrast, called for lots of driving — in a car that had not made a long trip since its mechanical overhaul. Sure enough, on our first day the quirky magic of the old Cadillac asserted itself: It breaks down, but when it does, people are really nice to you.

The first repair adventure began as an intermittent but tortured rattle and bang, coming from under the floor, that made the big car buck and stumble.

With visions of the trip ending even before reaching our starting point, we limped into what was reputedly the best garage in Berlin, Md. But we were turned away — an old car could be nothing but problems, we guessed, and the shop had a full datebook.

Desperate, we drove to a local Goodyear tire outlet. The service manager heard my pleading and said, sure, Frank could look at it in a few minutes.

Frank Digiacomo, a motorist’s friend, put the Caddy on a lift and immediately spotted the problem: The driveshaft’s center support — it is a two-piece design — had come loose, and the shaft was flopping around, slapping the cross braces of the frame. Digiacomo secured the support with strong bolts, corrected a loose universal joint, checked the tires and said we were good to go.

I said I’d go settle the bill. Digiacomo smiled.

“That’s OK,” he said. “We got you.”

What?

“We got you,” he repeated, meaning there would be no charge. We were obviously crazy, he said, and he approved.

Striking a chord This would happen again.

However much it might fly in the face of discretion to take an unproven old car on the open road, it certainly struck a chord in the hearts of car-loving Americans we met along the way.

On day two, in Romney, W.Va., we noticed that a front turn signal bulb had burned out, a potentially dangerous condition. The local parts store staff had never seen a bulb with a base of that type, completely unlike a modern bayonet mount. But by then Chad Benson, owner of a hot-rod shop, Trioxin Kustoms, had parked his enormous Lincoln next to us in the parts store lot.

Back at his garage, Benson soldered a new bulb to the old base and installed it. “What do I owe you?” I asked.

“Nothing,” Benson said, refusing my offer of $20. “It’s a Cadillac,” he said, explaining nothing — and everything.

Jerry Steiner, a retired engine builder in Dillsboro, Ind., gave the same response — no charge — after he corrected a misfire by adjusting the gap of the distributor points.

“We all said we were going to do something like this someday, just take off and go,” he said.

“You guys are actually doing it.”

Actually doing it required making adjustments to our driving habits, starting with remember-

ing that on the transmission gear indicator, the R for reverse was all the way to the right, where low gear is normally. We puzzled over cryptic heating and cooling controls: DEFR and VENT seemed clear, but what about the settings for ICE and FOG? We relearned the habits of our teenage years, listening for unfamiliar sounds. We sniffed the air. Is that smell coming from outside, or is it us? Bits of mouse nests blew out of the heater vents, an occurrence most drivers never get to experience.

But with each adjustment — including new distributor points in St. Louis, where Bob’s Transmission and Automotive Service took us before people with appointments — the car ran stronger and quieter. And as the speed limits on western two-lane roads climbed from 55 to 65 and then to 70, the car seemed to find its groove — the snapping of the canvas top against its steel supporting ribs quieted, the soft ride sat more firmly on the roadway and the miles flew by. Mileage on the rebuilt engine began creeping up, too, and reaching a respectable 14 miles per gallon on 91-octane gasoline.

We had climbed out of corn country and into the dry wheat fields of the High Plains west of Dodge City, Kan., when we noticed that the fuel and temperature gauges had stopped working, and that the generator light was glowing. The service manager at Lewis Cadillac in Garden City had a mechanic wheel out diagnostic equipment and polarize the voltage regulator; he assured us that whatever the problem was, the battery was being charged as it should. The dealership did not charge, however.

But by then the Rockies and the deserts of the Great Basin lay before us, and our planned 10 days on the road had already stretched to two weeks. Counting caution as the better part of valor, we drove the Cadillac to Fort Collins, Colo., and finished the U.S. 50 trek in my sister’s utterly reliable, predictable, practical and fin-free Subaru.

Five days later, I was back in Fort Collins, seeking a diagnosis for the generator lights. It took Gilsdorf Garage half an hour to find the blown fuse causing the problem. The tab: 30 cents for parts, $30 for labor.

Alone now, I turned east and powered over the western interstates at 80 miles an hour, hour after hour, for a 2,000-mile homeward run.

The Cadillac ran flawlessly, the bugs of the westbound trip finally exorcised. At last, my Eldorado was ready for a long road trip.

Swiss

The investigation is also significant because it is the first to examine whether Wall Street banks play a role in global offshore tax evasion schemes that link banks, trust advisers and other intermediaries. The large banks often maintain what are known as correspondent accounts for small foreign banks, accepting deposits and conducting some financial transactions.

There is no indication that the Wall Street banks, which the two people declined to identify, have knowingly engaged in wrongdoing, they said. Under the Patriot Act, American banks are required to take extra efforts to learn about their customers.

The Justice Department is expected to ask Switzerland in coming months to turn over names of clients of certain cantonal banks under an information-sharing agreement with Switzerland, one of the people said. Another option for the Justice Department is to ask the Federal Reserve to shut down their correspondent banking relationships with Wall Street, one of the people said.

Continued from B1 The investigation signals that Swiss bank secrecy is alive and well despite a crackdown on the Swiss giant UBS, one of the world’s largest private banks. UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, paid a $780 million fine in 2009 and agreed to turn over 4,450 names of American clients — a rare rip in the traditional veil of Swiss secrecy.

The new investigation centers on Basler Kantonalbank, one of the larger regional companies, but includes other cantonal banks as well, the people briefed on the investigation said, declining to identify them.

Calls after hours to Basler Kantonalbank, in Basel, were not returned late Thursday.

The investigation, which began last fall and has gathered steam in recent months, represents the next big wave of scrutiny of the offshore banking world, and underscores the interlinked nature of Swiss banks and global financial institutions.

Gas

sel, plus operating costs, comes to about $1.50 a gallon. In comparison, a gallon of diesel made from crude oil now costs more than $2, even before refining, and many forecasts are for the price of oil to go higher.

But there is a hefty cost of building the chemical plant to do the conversion, which might run over $1.5 billion for a new Canadian plant that would handle 40,000 barrels a day.

The calculations also exclude another cost: greenhouse gas emissions, which may be higher for a conversion plant than a typical refinery, depending on how the work is done.

A barrel of oil has historically cost one to two times as much as the equivalent amount of energy from natural gas. But right now, vast supplies of natural gas from shale formations in North America have driven prices down, so oil is triple the price of the gas equivalent.

The new ratio creates “a very attractive economic option,” said Lean Strauss, senior group executive at Sasol.

Continued from B1 The technology takes “a lot of money and a lot of effort,” said Michael Webber, associate director of the Center for International Energy Environmental Policy at the University of Texas, Austin. “You wouldn’t do this if you could find easy oil,” he said.

But with the huge spread between oil and gas prices, and predictions of oil topping $100 a barrel next year, the conversion technology could be “a moneymaker for whoever is a first mover in that space.”

Several other companies have intermittently tried to make liquid fuels from natural gas or coal. For example, the energy company Baard has been planning a coal-to-liquids plant in Ohio but has not been able to pull the pieces together, and Peabody Coal has discussed a similar plant.

Sasol figures that the natural gas needed for a gallon of die-

Bank Continued from B1 Shareholders approved the bank’s securities purchase agreements with investors David F. Bolger, an affiliate of Lightyear Fund II LP, an affiliate of Leonard Green & Partners LP, an affiliate of WL Ross & Co. LLC, and five other investors, including Michael F. Rosinus, through his IRA, Keefe Ventures Fund LP, Weichert Enterprise LLC, an affiliate of Smith Management, and Cougar Trading LLC. In describing the effect of the stock sale, Moss said it would give those investors ownership

Jewelry Continued from B1 This year, with jewelry sales up slightly at the front end of the holiday rush, and the price of gold rising, retailers are depending heavily on what they see as the manly tradition. They consider themselves experts on the procrastinating male, especially when it comes to sparkle and glitter.

Alexis Bittar, who sells jewelry at his own stores as well as at 650 retailers worldwide like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman, has witnessed the seasonal gender shift among his shoppers.

More than half his customers are men during this busy week, but they make up only about 5 percent at any other time of the year.

“I think men, I don’t want to say they’re not as thoughtful, because that sounds wrong, but their thoughtfulness seems to tip toward the last week before Christmas,” Bittar said.

Man with a plan Alex Allen, who works at a downtown Seattle mutual fund company, used his lunch hour this week to dip in and out of Tiffany’s, and he conceded that he personified the last-minute male shopper.

“I have 20 minutes left,” Allen declared. “I know exactly what I’m doing. I have a plan.”

He chose a pair of silver beaded earrings for his girlfriend.

“Last Christmas, I did get her jewelry as well. She enjoys it, and it’s a good investment,” he said. “Clothes, she’ll grow out of,

of approximately 94 percent of Cascade Bancorp’s outstanding voting common stock.

For that sale to go through, shareholders had to approve a proposal amending the company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40 million to 100 million.

A preliminary tally showed that was approved by more than 98 percent, Moss said.

That approval cleared the way for shareholders to authorize the sale of $177 million in common stock to the investors, which also passed by more than 98 percent, Moss said.

“I think the shareholders un-

derstand the issues,” Moss said. “I think they understand how difficult it is to raise capital in this environment. It is fantastic that we had overwhelming approval from our shareholders, who are also our depositors and customers.

“This capital will put us in a much better position to help with economic recovery, especially as the economy picks up,” she added.

After Thursday’s approvals, Moss said the next step is for the Federal Reserve to complete a background check on the investors and issue a letter that it doesn’t object.

Stan Gibford, a stockholder and retired employee of the company,

said he is relieved bank officials found investors and are close to completing the deal to raise the capital required under the FDIC order.

“It means that the bank will continue, and continue to serve the community of Bend,” said Gibford, a part-time resident. “I’m still a stockholder. I am a longtime customer, even before I was an employee.

“This decision gives me hope for the future,” Gibford said.

“Without it, the future would have looked a lot bleaker.”

and if I’m going to spend a decent amount of money, I would prefer it’s something she’ll have for a long time.

“I’m a procrastinator, and every year I tell myself I’m going to start earlier, and I don’t,” Allen said.

“Maybe I enjoy the adrenaline rush.”

Like Allen, 21 percent of men surveyed, according to a recent Consumer Reports poll, had not started their shopping by Dec. 19, compared with 13 percent of women.

Researchers and analysts also suggest that marketing plays on gender stereotypes, influencing what men tend to buy.

“Ritual behavior, including gift-giving and the creation of the holidays, is still traditionally relegated as women’s work because it falls into the sphere of the domestic,” Cele Otnes, a professor at the University of Illinois’ College of Business who studies consumer behavior and advertising, said via e-mail. “Women are the main purveyors of the gift culture, but men realize (a little later than women) in the season that there is this little aspect to gift-giving called reciprocity, which sets men in motion.

“Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the main jewelry chains engage in heavy promotion in places where men can be found — during certain TV programs and in the newspaper,” Otnes said.

of New Hampshire’s Whittemore School of Business and Economics, who researches shopping behavior.

Men tend to feel less rewarded by purchases and consumption than women do, he said. Instead, they choose gifts that impress.

Buying clothes like a blouse, for example, carries a high potential for error.

He posited these outcomes: A wrong size — (“So you think I look this big?” or “So you want me to look this small?”); an illsuited color (“This makes me look washed out”); or an unfashionable fashion (“This is for an older woman”).

Also, men do not like to ask for help, which clothes buying almost always requires, and they would rather “grab something easy to buy, rather than appear not to know something,” Barber said.

“Women are more social, and communicating with others is a solid way to affirm the selections, beliefs or share ideas without any fear of failure.”

With jewelry, “waiting until the last moment is easy, and can suggest thoughtful reflection by the male shopper,” he said.

“When the panic sets in, the guys need more steering,” he said.

He coaches employees to ask about the colors that spouses or partners wear, whether they prefer gold or silver, and if they favor big or small earrings.

“They don’t know what they’re looking at, and unless they have great taste and style, they’re really unsure of themselves and that really comes across,” Bittar said.

At a Nordstrom store here, Bryant Higgins, 71, said he had learned his wife’s dislikes but still could not settle on the right gift this time.

“I don’t get her earrings, because she’s fussy about her earrings and I never get it right,” said Higgins, a salesman at Sears.

He had been looking at necklaces and bracelets, guessing that she would prefer smaller, classic styles over the bigger, more contemporary ones.

“Everything else is done,” Higgins said of his Christmas shopping, “but my wife. That’s probably common for me.”

These men did seem to have put forethought into their gifts — though it came with a looming deadline.

Perhaps, as François Delage, chief executive of De Beers Diamond Jewelers, put it: “I would not necessarily call it last minute, as long as it’s still the right moment.”

Guiding the purchase Bittar, the jewelry designer, issues an entire set of instructions to sales clerks to help guide men.

A safe bet Jewelry is a safe bet for most men, says Nelson Barber, an associate professor at the University

Goldman adopts ‘brake’ provision on bonuses

By Susanne Craig New York Times News Service

Kenneth Feinberg, President Barack Obama’s former pay czar, received a lukewarm reception from Wall Street earlier this year, when he suggested that firms adopt a so-called brake provision that would allow employee compensation agreements at big banks to be broken if the government were forced to step in and bail them out.

On Thursday, Goldman Sachs disclosed in a regulatory filing

that it had adopted just such a brake proposal. The filing says that, if the government is forced to bail out Goldman, most of the firm’s outstanding compensation awards “shall immediately terminate.”

The move was applauded by some pay experts as a good corporate governance practice.

“Not many firms as far as I know have done this,” said Robert J. Jackson Jr., an associate professor at Columbia Law School. “This is another sign of

Goldman’s leadership on reforming pay structures, and it will be interesting to see whether other firms follow Goldman’s lead.”

Jackson previously served as deputy special master for TARP executive compensation in the Treasury Department.

The brake proposal followed a broad outcry over American International Group’s payout of millions of dollars in bonuses in 2009, even though the government had pumped billions of dollars into the company to res-

cue it the previous year.

Still, there is no danger that Goldman’s adoption of the provision will derail its bonuses for 2010. Goldman is thriving. It earned $5.97 billion during the first nine months of the year and put aside $13.1 billion in pay for its 35,400 employees.

Goldman employees are expected to find out in the third week of January what their bonuses will be and will most likely receive them in early February.

Suenaga said one of his first tasks will be to help with the tribes’ new sex offender program.

In 2009, the laws changed so people convicted of sex crimes who live on tribal lands had to register with law enforcement authorities.

Before, sex offenders who lived on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation were exempt from Oregon’s reporting requirements.

Suenaga said the tribes are mandated to have the sex offender registration operational

by July.

He will also be working with tribal officials to change Oregon law this legislative session to give tribal police officers statewide authority.

Currently, Oregon law does not give tribal police officers jurisdiction off the reservation or authority over non-American Indians who are on the reservation.

SPIRIT OF THE SEASON

Families of volunteers help during the holidays

An outdoor education organization will likely get to keep the cabins it built last spring without permits, in a golden eagle nesting area west of Terrebonne.

The Deschutes County Commission will vote Monday on a proposed decision that would allow Outward Bound’s structures to remain in place, if the organization adheres to conditions that include applying for building permits. The commission is likely to approve the decision, because two of the three commissioners indicated at a Dec. 20 meeting that they supported the conditions included in the proposed decision.

Neighbors of Outward Bound have alleged the organization built the structures during the eagle nesting season, when the birds could be disturbed, and have said Outward Bound owns enough property to build farther from the nests.

By contrast, Outward Bound’s attorney and a volunteer for the organization have said the scale of development was much smaller than the large houses built within the protected eagle area.

They also said Outward Bound’s construction merely altered existing tent platforms.

The attorney for Outward Bound and some neighbors who opposed the cabins could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Commissioners indicate support Development is allowed within the eagle nesting area, Deschutes County Commissioner Alan Unger said at a Dec. 20 meeting. Unger and Commissioner Tammy Baney said Outward Bound’s construction was simply a modification of the tent platforms, which are an existing use on the property.

Commissioner Dennis Luke disagreed.

“This is a completely different use than was originally proposed and approved for this site,” Luke said.

Unger said the fact that the eagles continue to use the nesting area, as development has built up around them, indicates they are being protected.

“We have to recognize these birds have been there 30 years, and the development has continued,” Unger said. “So whatever we’re doing, it’s working.”

In Central Oregon, median income is highest in Deschutes County, with Crook and Jefferson counties lagging behind.

All three counties fall below the median income of the United States for full-time workers with earnings, according to

the latest survey data from the Census Bureau.

In Central Oregon, one entity that makes the economic future of the community its business is EDCO, or Economic Development of Central Oregon, a nonprofit.

“Deschutes County is gaining on the state and national levels as far as income is concerned,” said Roger Lee, executive director of EDCO. “Crook County and Jefferson County are falling behind.”

This trend is not surprising, Lee stated, but he does hope that the two counties will be able to catch up to Deschutes.

Winds powering 3 neighbors Trio of Grizzly Peak residents builds 13 30-foot turbines to harness microclimate

By Vickie Aldous Ashland Daily Tidings

ASHLAND — The wind that blows across the Grizzly Peak foothills northeast of Ashland is strong enough that Interstate 5 drivers feel it buffeting their cars.

Three neighbors near Butler Creek Road are harnessing that power to generate electricity with 13 Windspire wind turbines on and below a nearby ridge.

The cylindrical turbines are quiet, and they don’t have the fanlike blades of more traditional windmills that can chop into birds. And unlike their 60-foottall cousins, the turbines can tap into slower-moving wind near the ground at 30 feet tall.

Windspire turbines are known for being able to use “microclimate� winds. Wind, heat and moisture conditions can vary significantly among sites that are in close proximity, creating microclimates.

Will Prust, who had four Windspire turbines installed near his house in August, said the turbines have attracted the interest of people biking and walking by his rural home. “We’ve had a lot of people stop by and ask about the windmills.

I think it’s a measure of how important energy is as an issue in our daily lives,� he said.

Each windmill cost $11,000 to buy and install, but after federal and state tax credits and rebates, the out-of-pocket cost was $3,500 apiece, Prust said.

If wind speeds are average, the windmills will pay for themselves in electricity savings in five years. They have the potential to generate all the electricity the house will need, he said.

However, the wind has been light this year, so Prust estimated the turbines have generated 10 to 20 percent of his home’s electricity during the few months he’s had them.

Doing the math Prust said his decision to have the turbines installed was a matter of mathematics. “There are 6.7 billion people competing for the same finite source of energy — fossil fuels. This century, demand will exceed supply. In the next 100 years, all of us will be preoccupied with finding new sources of energy,� he said. “Historically, humans have al-

I “It’s notoriously one of the think it’s a measure of windiest places in the whole valley. It was a prerequisite to bring how important energy your kite,� he said. is as an issue in our daily lives.�

What about Ashland? — Will Prust, who installed four Windspire turbines

ways used the closest resources to improve their lives. We’re surrounded by energy in every ray of sunshine, in every wave and in every gust of wind,� said Prust, who plans to add solar panels to his house next summer.

Prust ordered his turbines back in January but didn’t receive them until August because of demand.

Since then, the price per turbine has risen to $15,000, said Randy Warren, president of Green e-Technologies, the Talent-based business that installed four Windspire turbines at Prust’s home, seven at his neighbor’s house and two at the nearby Alpha Beta Hops Farm.

Windspire turbines are made in the United States of recycled steel and aircraft aluminum. Their manufacture has put 400 people to

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “To perceive Christmas through its wrapping becomes more difficult with every year.� — E.B. White, American author and journalist (1899-1985)

The fact that windmills are springing up in the area has renewed some residents’ curiosity about whether the technology could be used on the city of Ashland’s 829-acre Imperatrice Ranch land below Grizzly Peak.

Located across I-5 from town, the land historically has been used for cattle grazing, although in August, the Ashland City Council agreed to let Standing Stone Brewing Co. use a portion of the land to raise chickens and other livestock.

Warren said unfortunately, the city’s land is not a feasible location for wind turbines. Lines to carry electricity to the Ashland Electric Department would have to pass under I-5, a cost-prohibitive proposition.

The city could send electricity to Pacific Power lines near the land, but that electric company is buying electricity for 3 cents per kilowatt hour and wind generation costs 11 to 12 cents per kilowatt hour, Warren said.

O Bank bombers face long stay on death row The Associated Press SALEM — Once Bruce and Joshua Turnidge are formally sentenced to death next month, they will join 34 other men on Oregon’s death row for what’s likely to be a lengthy stay.

The father and son convicted of killing two police officers in a bank bombing two years ago will likely be sent to the maximumsecurity Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem, where most inmates sentenced to death are housed,

the Statesman Journal reported.

The Turnidges are to be sentenced Jan. 24. The law says Judge Tom Hart must do as the jury prescribed after it convicted the two of aggravated murder and then condemned them to death by lethal injection.

After they are sentenced, though, the Turnidges’ cases will be appealed directly to the Oregon Supreme Court, and there are further appeals procedures that could take decades to resolve.

Inmates on death row spend less time out of their prison cells and have fewer privileges, more visitor restrictions and higher levels of security than inmates in the general population.

The Department of Corrections says some inmates have been on death row for more than 15 years. The last execution in Oregon was the lethal injection of 57-year-old Harry Charles Moore in 1997. He gave up his chances for further appeals.

Under Oregon law, only a conviction of aggravated murder can result in a death sentence. There are 391 inmates in Oregon who have been convicted of aggravated murder, but not all of those inmates face death, according to the Department of Corrections.

Some will spend their lives in prison without the possibility of release, and others were sentenced to life in prison with at least 30 years before being considered for release.

MEDFORD

Police comb rooftops for old weapon The Associated Press

New trial ordered The Oregon Supreme Court ordered the new trial because it found important evidence about another man making threatening statements shortly before the stabbing had been withheld by Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Ray White.

The Medford Mail Tribune reported that detectives climbed up the ladder of a search-and-rescue truck Wednesday to look again for the knife but didn’t find it.

In February 2007, a jury found the 25-year-old SalasJuarez guilty of murder. His attorney during that trial, Rebecca Rosenstein, argued police had arrested the wrong man.

Jurors also found SalasJuarez guilty of the attempted murder of Lawrence M. Crowley, then 23, of Medford, after slashing at him in the same early morning clash in August 2006.

Young, who figures in one of the state’s best known cases as the stepfather of missing Portland boy Kyron Horman, has been looking for people who worked on downtown roofs in the four years since the night of the stabbing.

Medford police detective Terry Newell said he determined Salas-Juarez had purchased the multicolored knife from a business two days before the stabbing.

People who knew SalasJuarez also saw him with the knife, Newell said.

Despite the missing weapon, Young said the prosecution still has a strong case against Salas-Juarez.

“It’s so easy to get rid of stuff like that,” Young said.

Life sentence Salas-Juarez received a sentence of life in prison, with at least 25 years served, and was ordered to pay more than $48,700 in restitution for Lunsford’s medical and funeral costs.

No date has been set for the new trial.

Snowboarder found dead on Mount Hood HOOD RIVER — Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the death of a teenage snowboarder on Mount Hood.

The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office says the ski patrol at Mount Hood Meadows Resort found a 15-year-old boy face down in the snow Wednesday night. He was not wearing a helmet, and efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.

The boy had boarded a ski lift about 25 minutes before his body was found. The sheriff’s office says he was visiting the resort with family members, but there were no witnesses to his death.

An autopsy was scheduled Thursday. Authorities have not released the boy’s name.

Tornado damage estimated at $1.1M

Authorities resume search for knife to prep for man’s retrial MEDFORD — Police were preparing for the second trial of a suspect in a 2006 stabbing by searching downtown rooftops for the murder weapon.

Police have been unable to find a 5-inch, multicolored knife bearing the words “Viva Mexico” that could have been pitched atop a roof as the killer fled.

“It’s always been frustrating to me why we didn’t find it,” said Tony Young, a Medford police detective.

Young and other investigators were preparing for a new trial for Luis Alberto SalasJuarez, who was found guilty of killing 23-year-old Mark Lunsford, of Butte Falls.

Fire-damaged Astoria shops seek new homes Businesses await city action after large blaze ran through storefronts The Associated Press ASTORIA — Astoria city organizations are seeking temporary housing for several waterfront businesses after an office building was damaged in a fire last week.

The fire caused an estimated $5 million to $6 million in damage.

The Daily Astorian reported police have allowed a property manager to enter a building that houses 26 stores and was damaged in the fire, but a cafe has not yet been cleared for entry.

Business owners, ranging from therapists to lawyers, must wait for city approval for a safety plan before they can salvage anything from their offices.

Islamic charity founder back in court Jan. 18 The Associated Press MEDFORD — Defense lawyers return to court next month to ask a judge to overturn the conviction of an Oregon man found guilty of smuggling $150,000 to Saudi Arabia through a now-defunct Islamic charity that he ran in Ashland.

The Medford Mail Tribune reported that U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan has scheduled arguments Jan. 18 in Eugene in the case of Pete Seda.

He was convicted Sept. 10, but no sentencing date has been set.

Federal prosecutors have asked Hogan for an eight-year prison sentence based on evidence that the money went to finance terrorism by Muslim fighters trying to break Chechnya away from Russia.

the 1,600-square-foot location into a salon by Jan. 11.

Hartman said she wants “to make something good come out of something so horrific by moving forward.”

The city of Astoria and the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association have been seeking office spaces, supplies and furniture while trying to get affected businesses and their owners back on their feet quickly.

Cause investigated Astoria Assistant Police Chief Alan Oja said private investigators were looking into fault and liability issues related to the fire.

Authorities say the fires appear to be accidental, possibly caused by wiring issues.

The buildings were scheduled to be sold after a Dec. 30 foreclosure hearing. Lake Oswego developer Eric Jacobsen had moved

to recoup more than $840,000 in debt owed by the real estate companies that own the building.

The situation, along with initial reports that the fires were started separately, initially raised suspicions among investigators.

But Astoria Fire Chief Lenard Hansen has said that physical evidence has shown the fires were likely connected, and that they began accidentally.

Among the fire’s business casualties was Cannery Cafe, which was housed in the site of the former Bumble Bee cannery.

The company shut down its Astoria operations in 1980.

Astoria is at the mouth of the Columbia River. In the 19th and 20th centuries, more than 30 canneries were arrayed along the lower reaches of the river, packing salmon and tuna. Overfishing pushed the industry into severe decline in the last half of the 20th century.

SALEM — Marion County estimates damage from the Dec. 14 tornado that struck Aumsville at $1.1 million.

The county emergency manager, John Vanderzanden, told The Statesman Journal that includes residential and commercial property and public infrastructure.

The figure could go up as agencies send in more damage reports, but Vanderzanden said he doubts the city will qualify for a state and federal disaster declaration. The threshold to qualify is at least $950,000 in damage to public infrastructure.

The twister damaged 50 homes. No one was killed.

Feds file last round in salmon, dams fight PORTLAND — The last scheduled round of legal briefs has been filed in the long-running battle over making the Columbia Basin’s federal hydroelectric dams safer for endangered salmon.

NOAA Fisheries Service filed

briefs Thursday in U.S. District Court in Portland arguing its plan, known as a biological opinion, should be upheld because its improvements to dams and dam operations are building on good ocean conditions to produce strong salmon returns.

Judge James Redden is expected to rule next year.

Transient jailed in Klamath Falls killing KLAMATH FALLS — A 45-year-old Klamath Falls transient is in jail on a murder charge.

The Herald and News reported that Aaron Henry Harrison was jailed in Klamath Falls on Wednesday after being extradited from California.

He is accused of killing 64year-old Larry Leroy Cline, who was found beaten to death in his Klamath Falls home. Authorities say the slaying may have occurred in a bungled burglary.

Investigators tracked Harrison to a relative’s home in Sacramento, Calif., where he was arrested after a short standoff with a SWAT team.

Coos Bay theater repair may cost $3.7M COOS BAY — An engineering firm estimates it will cost nearly $4 million to do basic renovations on the old Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay. Coos Bay City Manager says lots of people would like to fix up the downtown landmark, but they don’t have that kind of money right now.

The World newspaper reports that ZCS Engineering Inc. came up with an estimate of $3.7 million to fix a sagging wall, install a new roof and do other basic repairs.

Egyptian Theatre Preservation Association vice president David Engholm says the estimate will allow the group to start looking for grants to pay for the work.

Harrisburg man, son die in murder-suicide The Associated Press HARRISBURG — Linn County sheriff’s officers say a Harrisburg man stabbed his 13-year-old son to death before taking his own life.

Sheriff Tim Mueller says detectives determined that 49-year-old Darwin D. Stout killed his son, Jared, sometime Wednesday morning before stabbing himself to death.

Their bodies were found

by Stout’s wife and the boy’s

mother when she returned home from work Wednesday evening.

Investigators say it’s unclear why Stout killed his boy and himself, although it was reported that he had been making irrational statements and had gone to a Eugene hospital for an evaluation.

Detectives say Stout was released after hospital officials determined he was not a threat to himself or others.

The Bulletin’s Christmas gifts

T

here are about 6.9 billion people in the world, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and more than 310 million of them live in the United States. That means Santa Claus

and his reindeer are going to be really pressed for time tonight, even if you factor in the billions of people around the world who aren’t counting on a fat guy to dive into their chimneys and deposit carefully wrapped consumer goods beneath a decorated tree.

That means he’s bound to forget about a few people. The guy may be fast, and he may enjoy the assistance of a crack crew of elves and one selfilluminating reindeer, but he’s only human. So, to help ensure that various people and groups receive appropriate gifts, we figured we’d whip up a brief list for him. If nothing else, it’ll give him something besides Dasher’s derriere to look at while flying.

For each member of Congress: a Kindle or iPad. Santa should preload it with a copy of the report issued by President Obama’s debt commission.

Yes, we know. Most of these people can’t even be bothered to read many of the bills they vote on, so what makes us think they’ll read a scathing report that simply reminds them of their own irresponsibility? Nothing, really, which is why Santa should use the following line from the report as a screensaver: “Our challenge is clear and inescapable: America cannot be great if we go broke.”

We’d recommend ink-and-paper copies of the report itself, but electronic readers have an added benefit.

The next time Sen. Bernie Sanders, IVt., decides to blather his colleagues into somnolence, as he did earlier this month, they can call up a thriller and keep themselves entertained.

For the countless Oregonians who haven’t figured out yet that it’s illegal to drive while pressing a cell phone to the side of your face: hands-free devices.

For police officers: great big books of citations to give drivers who refuse to use the hands-free devices with their cell phones that Santa was kind enough to leave under their trees.

For President Obama: a remote control for the hundreds of electronic readers distributed to members of Congress. He should turn their readers to the debt commission’s report whenever he sees them flipping through “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” during a Bernie Sanders blatherfest.

Or his State of the Union Address.

Plus, if it’s not too much to ask, Santa should give the president a sense of humor. That’s two presents, we know, but he is a pretty important guy.

For incoming Gov. John Kitzhaber: an electronic reader loaded up with the much-discussed report issued by his predecessor’s Reset Cabinet.

That’s the one that says, in effect, “Our challenge is clear and inescapable: Oregon cannot remain even mediocre if we go broke.” It then recommends

a number of desperately needed cuts to public employee benefits. The governor’s reader also should carry the results of November’s election, which Kitzhaber should consult whenever public employee unions pressure him to oppose the measures outlined in the Reset Cabinet’s report.

For Oregon legislators: Just kidding! Voters just gave them annual sessions, so what else could they possibly want? We might have recommended electronic readers, as we did for Congress, but Oregon’s facing a $3.5 billion budget shortfall — and if Santa really pays for all of the presents he distributes, why are our credit card bills so high?

For leaders of the city of Bend: a report, prepared by elves, on the comparative costs and benefits of the city’s preferred municipal water project, which would continue to tap Bridge Creek, and an all-groundwater alternative. Elves aren’t known for their economic and engineering expertise, we’ll admit. But whatever they come up with is likely to be more credible than the analysis commissioned by the city, which was conducted by a company that stands to profit from its preferred project.

For Oregon’s dwindling population of timber industry workers: an endangered species designation. Federal regulations, coupled with litigious environmental groups, have decimated their ranks over the years, and now the recession has done in some of the alternative professions many of them have entered — construction, for instance. Before long, employed timber workers will be outnumbered by spotted owls. Perhaps they deserve some protections, too.

For incoming DA Patrick Flaherty: Dramamine. The weather’s going to be stormy, especially if county commissioners make the mistake of approving a contract with deputy DAs before he takes office.

For members of the Bend-La Pine School Board: a copy of the Attorney General’s Public Records and Meetings Manual. Any public entity that believes, as Board Chair Peggy Kinkade argued recently, that it’s appropriate to set fees for the release of public records that are high enough to discourage curiosity really needs to read up on the law.

For the University of Oregon football team: just one more win this season.

Merry Christmas.

Celebrate slow population growth

T

he analyses of the new census numbers were predictable, and I take issue with nearly every one. Let’s start with the suggestion that population rising at the lowest rate since the Great Depression is to be lamented. Anything likened to the Great Depression can’t be a positive development, right? Wrong.

But this is how USA Today put it: “The U.S. population grew 9.7 percent in the past decade to 308,745,538, according to the first results of the 2010 Census — the slowest growth since the Great Depression for a nation hard hit by a recession and housing bust.”

Nearly 10 percent population growth is slow only in relation to that of Burundi, the African country with the world’s lowest per capita gross domestic product. Our population growth rate is comparable to Mexico’s, Brazil’s and Indonesia’s.

For Americans concerned with a loss of open space and thickening congestion, a 10 percent growth rate should seem darn high. If unemployment were 2 percent and houses were selling like Justin Bieber tickets, a sharp hike in population would still be nothing to cheer. By the way, Nevada had the nation’s fastest population growth, and now the highest unemployment and the worst housing collapse.

As it happens, America had half as many people in 1950. Was America less lovely then? It was certainly more powerful.

Tied to the notion that a population

FROMA HARROP boom equals success is the oft-repeated headline that the census report produced “winners” and “losers.” CBS News’ Political Hotsheet wrote: “The biggest winner out of the government’s decennial population count? It is without a doubt the state of Texas, which will see its House delegation and Electoral College representation increase by four seats.”

Well, greater political clout is something any state would welcome, and there’s lots of room in Texas. But anyone who drives on Dallas’ North Central Expressway at 4 p.m. on a workday knows the meaning of “crowded.” The Lone Star State’s big growth has been in the urban corridors, where there’s no shortage of company.

Those who declare New York state a “loser” in the census count, meanwhile, may not have visited Rockefeller Center in recent weeks. Yes, the Empire State will have two fewer congressional seats than before, but ask New Yorkers this: How many of you would prefer competing with several million more souls for space to losing some Electoral College votes?

One must note that New York and other “losers” — Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, New

Jersey and Massachusetts — have actually gained population in the past decade. They just added fewer people than states in the South and West.

The less nuanced commentary treated population gains in so-called Red States and losses in so-called Blue States as an unalloyed blessing for the Republican Party. A GOP advantage, for sure, but limited.

Delivery room doctors in Texas or Arizona don’t stamp “Republican” on the cute bottoms of newborns, and the babies are ever likelier to be Latino and part of a group that traditionally votes for Democrats. Until recently, Texas Republicans have been able to corral Latinos into bizarrely shaped districts.

But their creativity will be taxed as the state’s Hispanics overtake Anglos in number.

Of course, it’s nonsense to imply that any state is permanently dyed red or blue. Changing populations change the politics. And changing parties change the politics, even where populations are stable. The people’s republic of Vermont used to be the most reliably Republican state.

I don’t know many Americans, or noncitizen immigrants for that matter, who think that 100 million more people would make the United States a better place. If the U.S. population is slowing, let’s celebrate — and hope it slows some more.

Seeing through the tacky materialism of Christmas WASHINGTON — n earnest academic, writing on the website Patheos, recently made the case against Santa Claus. Saint Nick is a multicultural nightmare: “A person shouldn’t have to pander to a white man — sit on his lap and beg, even! — to enjoy the good life. ... If Santa were a refugee, or a woman of color, or even a plant or animal, I could probably get on board.”

But Saint Nick’s offense is also religious. He is “in direct competition with God, and it seems Santa may have the upper hand.” “They’re both invisible characters that appear from time to time,” Jenell Paris continues, “so how does a Christian parent convince a child that God is really real (especially if you once told the child that Santa was also real)?”

This was never much of a problem in my home. My eldest son from an early age was a Santa skeptic — the Christopher Hitchens of his elementary school set. Having spied out our Christmas preparations, he delighted in dashing the illusions of other children, including our youngest.

Still, I rise to Santa’s defense. It is true that the Thomas Nast version of Santa

A

Claus is the same pale shade as Bull Connor. Yet perhaps even mythical figures should be judged, not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character — which, in this case, seems pretty admirable. And, though outwardly resembling Haley Barbour, Santa is unlikely to commit racially charged gaffes in the future.

The second critique is more substantial. Christmas has become a kind of alternative religion, offering watereddown versions of profound theological doctrines. Its miracles are found on 34th Street, not in Bethlehem. The visitation of Gabriel has become the visitation of Clarence, assuring us that it is a wonderful life. The modern cult of Christmas offers a domesticated form of transcendence. Naughty or nice instead of good or evil. A jolly old elf rather than an illegitimate child, destined for an early death.

One’s reaction to the modern cult of Christmas depends on one’s view of comparative religion. Believers often assert that other religious traditions are simply wrong and inherently dangerous, worthy of attention only to condemn or debunk.

Admittedly, it is not credible to assert

MICHAEL GERSON that all religions — from Buddhism to Aztec human sacrifice to Quakerism to Wahhabi Islam — are equally true.

Religious differences are not trivial.

But most faiths share a similar striving. Across the world and across history, human beings have been hounded by an instinct to seek meaning beyond the material — a desire for forgiveness, acceptance, holy awe and ethical behavior. This search takes many forms and faiths, from animism to Zoroastrianism.

If the instinct is not merely a cruel evolutionary joke, the practice of religion has produced varied insights and wisdom.

As a Christian, I believe that the claims of Christianity are true — but this does not mean other faiths are devoid of all truth.

C.S. Lewis put it this way: “If you are a Christian, you do not have to believe that all the other religions are simply wrong all through. If you are an atheist, you

Christmas has become a kind of alternative religion, offering watered-down versions of profound theological doctrines. Its miracles are found on 34th Street, not in Bethlehem. The visitation of Gabriel has become the visitation of C larence, assuring us that it is a wonderful life.

The modern cult of Christmas offers a domesticated form of transcendence. Naughty or nice instead of good or evil. do have to believe that the main point in all the religions of the whole world is simply one huge mistake. If you are a Christian, you are free to think that all those religions, even the queerest ones, contain at least some hint of the truth.

When I was an atheist, I had to try to persuade myself that most of the human race have always been wrong about the question that mattered to them most; when I became a Christian, I was able to take a more liberal view.”

So I choose to take a more liberal view of the Christmas cult. Its tacky materialism can be unattractive.

But the desire for Christmas miracles and visiting angels — for Tiny Tim not to die and for hooves on the rooftop

and for George Bailey to be the richest man in town; for just one night of calm and hope — are not things to be lightly dismissed.

“If I find in myself,” says Lewis, “a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” In this argument, the sentimental desires of Christmas are hints and rumors and reminders of a birth that somehow represents their culmination. Put another way: The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight.

Morgan Watts, 13, sorts gifts for different age groups while volunteering with her mom on Thursday at Bend’s Community Center.

Volunteers Continued from C1 “There’s always something to do.”

Morgan’s mother, JoAnn Miller-Watts, was wrapping alongside her daughter.

“In these times, even for a working family it’s more challenging to give money, but we can give time,” she said. “We have lots of time.”

Morgan has enjoyed her volunteer work at Bend’s Community Center so much she’s now also volunteering at the Humane Society of Central Oregon.

“It’s good to give, and if I can impart that on my kids, then I feel I’ve done a good job,” Miller-Watts said.

While Morgan was wrapping gifts on Thursday, others volunteered earlier in the week.

The Hicks family goes to Bend’s Community Center once a month to help serve a meal, bringing their children along to help out.

They’ve also volunteered at the Shepherd’s House and foster kittens from the Humane Society of Central Oregon. Sarah, 9, plans to begin volunteering regularly at the Humane Society in the coming year.

Paying it forward But the community center is a favorite for the kids. They hand out sack lunches, clean, oversee the recycling, and sort and wrap presents during the holidays. Sometimes they’re allowed to make the sandwiches for the sack lunches.

“I like to see people smile,” said Thayer Hicks, 7. “I don’t go

Income Continued from C1 “Both Crook and Jefferson counties would benefit from diversification to help improve their status, but it takes some places 20 years to diversify, so we need to find other options,” he continued. “One of the biggest questions we are asking ourselves in this conundrum is ‘what do you replace old timber jobs with?’ Once we figure that out, I think we will see an increase in numbers.”

Hope in agriculture EDCO is encouraged by the possibilities both counties hold, especially concerning the prospects of being able to open up more job positions. In Jefferson County, it appears the agricultural industry could provide the economic breakthrough the county is looking for.

“The agricultural region

for the thank-yous. Even if they don’t smile, we get a really good feeling.

“If every person helped one person, it would really help our world.”

Christy Hicks said sometimes the kids get nervous being outside their comfort zone.

But that’s part of the reason she likes them to go volunteer.

“It’s critical because we do live in a bubble,” she said. “If they don’t get out of their world, they’ll never know.”

The family doesn’t volunteer on Christmas or Thanksgiving, because often that’s when the most people want to volunteer. Instead, the Hicks make the commitment for times when there might be less help available.

“It’s inconvenient most of the year, you’re giving up part of your weekend,” Christy Hicks said. “But it’s not about how you’re feeling.”

While Thayer and Sarah like doing volunteer work at the holidays, they think it’s important at other times, too.

“Everyone needs help all year, they don’t just need it at Christmas,” Sarah said.

For Lynn Edwards, the volunteer coordinator with the Bethlehem Inn, it’s easy to get kids involved.

“The homeless issue is a huge issue in Central Oregon and one that’s close to a lot of people’s hearts, kids especially,” she said.

“They want to come, they want to help, and we try to find ways to interact with them and make that possible.”

Accompanied by their parents, children can serve meals at the homeless shelter; children

shows promise for Jefferson County. That industry has always produced steady employment for that region, though with lower wages. Because of the lower wages, it may have to be a bit of a trade-off, but we anticipate the agricultural industry will continue to be an important part of that economy,” said Lee. “Because Jefferson County is closest to the Portland metropolitan area, the economy also has that going for them. I think we should expect to see an increase in income in the future.”

Boost from industrial As for Crook County, EDCO says the industrial region will play a huge role in boosting its economy.

“Prineville has a lot to offer, specifically the industrial park, but the issue is certainly complex when you start thinking about all the different factors that make up an area. The main point to understand is that both

are also invited to collect bottles and cans, as well as clothing and other donations. On Tuesday, a Girl Scout troop sang carols to the residents.

Edwards said children have been very generous to the shelter this year, and said their help is needed year-round.

“We’ve just been blessed with some large donations from children,” she said.

Teresa Soderlund and her daughter Taylor Soderlund, 11, said they’ve volunteered at Bend’s Community Center several times this year. Taylor serves and cleans the tables, wraps presents and works with the staff to make sure everyone is taken care of.

“You meet a lot of nice people,” Taylor said. “It makes me feel like I helped out.”

Important for mom For her mom, it’s important Taylor see the challenges people face in their lives.

“There are little ones there,” Teresa Soderlund said of children who sometimes come in for a meal at the center.

On Christmas Day, the Soderlunds will volunteer from 9 to 11 a.m. at the community center.

That’s prime gift time, but Taylor said she doesn’t mind.

“It’s not always about gifts,” she said.

Taylor said it comes down to a simple message to her peers.

“Just be happy with what you’ve got because there are other people who don’t have it,” she said.

Sheila G. Miller can be reached at 541-617-7831 or at smiller@bendbulletin.com.

Jefferson and Crook counties have promise — there is hope,” he said.

For both counties, the most important factor will be tapping into the resources that will best boost the stability of the county.

“Our vision for the two regions is that they keep pace. If you look at another measure in migration and population growth, the three counties have tracked closely together.

We want to see income and earnings do the same,” Lee explained.

“Relatively speaking, Crook and Jefferson have lost ground, while Deschutes has jumped ahead. Our vision is to provide interesting and gainful employment at all levels within the community so people don’t have to jump in their car and commute to job positions quite a ways away.”

James Mann worked on impeachment against Nixon

By Willia m Grimes New York Times News Service

James R. Mann, a South Carolina congressman who played a critical role in drafting the articles of impeachment against Richard M. Nixon and emerged as one of the South’s most eloquent voices on the matter, died Monday in Greenville, S.C. He was 90.

The cause was Alzheimer’s disease, his son James Jr. told The Associated Press. Mann, a previously obscure legislator who had never held a leadership position in the House, unexpectedly took center stage during the postWatergate impeachment hearings held by the House Judiciary Committee in late July 1974.

As a conservative Democrat

from a district, along the northwest border of the state, where Nixon had won 80 percent of the vote, he made an effective broker in the bargaining among liberal Democrats, conservative Democrats and wavering Republicans over the language in the articles of impeachment.

In the days before the hearings opened, it became clear that the

original draft of the articles — which many members regarded as scattershot and inflammatory — would not command the widespread support needed to ensure a vote for impeachment in the full House. The committee’s chairman, Rep. Peter W. Rodino Jr., D-N.J., urged Mann to revise the articles in consultation with his colleagues.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Pryor among five Buckeyes banned for five games in ’11 COLUMBUS, Ohio — Welcome to Tattoo U. What started out as a trip to a Columbus tattoo parlor by a couple of football players has created all sorts of mayhem for star quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State.

Pryor and four teammates were susOhio State pended quarterback Thursday Terrelle Pryor by the NCAA for the first five games of next season for selling championship rings, jerseys and awards. They also received improper benefits — from up to two years ago — from the tattoo parlor and its owner.

The NCAA said all can still play in the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas on Jan. 4. Ohio State’s first five games next season are against Akron, Toledo, Miami, Colorado and Michigan State. Ohio State plans to appeal, hoping the number of games might be reduced.

Pryor sold a sportsmanship award from the 2008 Fiesta Bowl along with his 2008 Big Ten championship ring. More egregious to Ohio State fans, he sold a “gold pants” trinket — an iconic charm given to players who are a part of a victory over archrival Michigan.

Along with Pryor, leading rusher Daniel “Boom” Herron, No. 2 wide receiver DeVier Posey, All-Big Ten offensive tackle Mike Adams and backup defensive end Solomon Thomas must sit out the five games and donate $1,000 to $2,500 — the value of the things they sold or the discounts they received — to charity.

tanding atop Middle Sister a couple years ago, Greg Stafford noticed something about the Cascade Mountain range that piqued his interest.

“Looking north, I could see all the mountains in a line,” he recalls.

A land surveyor from Anchorage, Alaska, Stafford had never had the time to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, and he had too many other interests besides hiking. So he came up with another plan: traverse the entire Cascade Range by biking, hiking, climbing and skiing.

He called his friends Rex Shepard and Ryan Manies, who both live in Bend.

They were in. Another of Stafford’s friends, Will Fain, of Ashland, also joined the team.

The group has dubbed the expedition the Cascade Challenge, and they have solicited some sponsorship from Eddie Bauer, the Northwest-based clothing company. They also have decided to use their trek as a means of promoting awareness of childhood obesity.

The plan is to traverse the Cascades — from Abbotsford, British Columbia, to Mount Lassen in Northern California — entirely by human propulsion in one to two months, starting in June 2011.

The trip, a total of about 1,300 miles, is scheduled to include summits of 15 peaks in the Cascades. The team will ride road bikes from peak to peak, where possible, and will skin up the mountains and ski down using alpine touring or split-snowboard gear.

t’s cold, windy, maybe snowy outside, and your football team stinks. Hardly a way to enjoy the end of the NFL season.

That’s how folks feel in Minneapolis and Cincinnati and Denver.

Take away the bad weather and the feelings aren’t any brighter in Dallas, Charlotte and Phoenix. Disappointment abounds in those cities — and throw in Nashville, Houston, Miami and San Francisco, where there were big hopes for 2010 when everybody kicked off in sunshine and balmy breezes 3½ months ago.

For every flop, there’s an ascension, though, and the smiles fans expected to wear in the cities above now are being sported by people who root for the Bears, Bucs, Jaguars, Chiefs and even the Rams at 6-8.

The NFL’s biggest failures and success stories, and why their seasons went that way:

The good No team has risen toward the NFL’s elite in more stunning fashion than the Bears.

New York Times News Service

ANAHEIM, Calif. — During the California men’s basketball season opener last month against Cal State Northridge, the Straw Hat Band and student cheering section tried to rattle Matadors forward Michael Lizarraga with chants of “tuna” every time he touched the ball.

Singling out a skilled opponent and trying to throw him off his game is a Cal tradition. It started decades ago with a successful attempt to rattle a UCLA player in a No. 42 jersey at the foul line by shouting, “Forty-twoooo!” Over the years it has been shortened to “Tuna!”

By razzing the 6-foot-7 Lizarraga, the students were setting only themselves up for embarrassment. As his teammates stifled smiles at the Haas Pavilion crowd’s wasted breath, Lizarraga, the only deaf men’s basketball player in Division I, produced a career-best 15 points.

U.S. women gaining confidence in the pool

By An d rew Damp f The Associated Press

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — While Michael Phelps was swimming to a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, the U.S. women struggled to only two golds in the pool.

Last week’s short-course world championships showed several signs of a resurgence.

Rebecca Soni swept gold in all three breaststroke events; Katie Hoff beat a stellar field in the 400-meter freestyle; Natalie Coughlin showed she can still win at the world level despite a lengthy post-Beijing hiatus; and there was also hope for the future, as 15-year-old Missy Franklin — wearing braces — won her first world championship medal.

Ariana Kukors also won a gold in the rarely swum 100 individual medley, plus bronze in the 200 IM. Overall, the U.S. women won 14 medals, six of them gold.

“I think we’ve definitely seen some areas where we’ve done a great job,” U.S. women’s coach Teri McKeever said.

“Rebecca Soni has had an exceptional meet. Kate Ziegler is back on track, Katie Hoff has done a great job and looks great and happy — it’s awesome to see her win that 400 in a big smile. Natalie has done a nice job, and Missy Franklin is a nice, new, young face keeping the veterans honest.”

While several rivals from Australia and Britain skipped the Dubai meet, some results were still telling — particularly Soni’s win over Australian rival Leisel Jones in the 100 breaststroke.

Soni and Jones split the 100 and 200 titles in Beijing, but Soni beat Jones over both distances at the Pan Pacific Championships in August as the Australian returned from a post-Olympic break.

“I think Rebecca has definitely distinguished herself as the premier breaststroker in the world,” McKeever said, pointing to her range over 50, 100 and 200 meters.

Hoff, who won the 400 freestyle ahead of Australia’s Kylie Palmer and long-course world champion Federica Pellegrini of Italy, appears rejuvenated by her switch in training bases. She also won a silver in the 200 free.

After failing to qualify for last year’s long-course worlds in Rome, Hoff left Baltimore and Bob Bowman, who also coaches Phelps, and headed to Fullerton, Calif., to work with Sean Hutchison.

“I’m adjusted to it now,” Hoff said of the move. “The first year was definitely a transitional year, getting to know Sean, getting to know how the coaches and getting to know what’s best for me. This year I feel like we’ve really clicked and learned. It’s working really well.”

The 28-year-old Coughlin, meanwhile, held off two younger Chinese swimmers to win the 100 backstroke.

She also took bronze behind the Dutch duo of Ranomi Kromowidjojo and Femke Heemskerk in the 100 freestyle — swimming’s signature event.

McKeever is also Coughlin’s personal coach, and she was sure the three-time Olympic champion wasn’t disappointed by the bronze.

“I don’t think winning is what motivates Natalie,” the coach said. “It’s about doing her best time and she did that.

She had two personal bests in the 100 free and the 100 back and I think that was really important.”

Basketball • WNBA’s Taurasi tests positive for banned substance: WNBA standout and former UConn star Diana Taurasi tested positive for a mild stimulant while playing in a pro league in Turkey, her lawyer told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

Howard Jacobs said Taurasi’s “A” sample came back positive from a Turkish lab last week and she was provisionally suspended by the Turkish league she’s playing in. She has already missed three games with her team, Fenerbahce. Jacobs said the substance “was not a steroid or recreational drug,” and that Taurasi has asked that her “B” sample be tested. Taurasi’s positive test came to light two days after her former Huskies won their 89th straight game, surpassing the UCLA’s men’s team winning streak set from 1971-74. Taurasi helped lead UConn to three straight national championships as well as 70 consecutive victories from 2001-03. She was the AP Player of the Year in 2003.

Football • McNabb’s agent fires back at Redskins: The simmering feud between Donovan McNabb and Mike Shanahan and his brother continued Thursday with a blistering statement from the quarterback’s agent. Fletcher Smith took aim directly at the Washington coach and Kyle Shanahan, the Redskins’ offensive coordinator, for the way they have handled the benching of his client. Smith said the bad blood between the quarterback and the Washington coaches is due to McNabb’s suggestions for improving the Redskins’ offense. “I believe there is tension between Donovan and Kyle that’s rooted in the fact that Donovan has suggested modifications to Kyle’s offense based on intricacies Donovan has learned in his NFL career,” Smith wrote. “For example, Donovan has asked all year that the team run more screen passes to help manage the pass rush more effectively. Ironically, Kyle decided to employ Donovan’s suggestions after he unceremoniously benched him on Sunday.”

• Colts RB Addai expects to play: Colts running back Joseph Addai expects to return Sunday at Oakland after missing the past eight games with a nerve injury in his left shoulder, the first positive news on the injury front for Indianapolis in quite a while. “I feel like it’s a great chance. I feel like I’m heading in the right direction,” Addai said Thursday, one day after participating fully in practice. “I felt good. I didn’t set myself back. Really, I’m just happy to put on a uniform and just get back into it.” Addai has 5,280 yards from scrimmage and 46 touchdowns in five seasons. He rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown against Washington this season before hurting the shoulder.

Cycling • McEwen on Armstrong team Down Under: Australian cycling star Robbie McEwen will make his debut for Lance Armstrong’s Team RadioShack at next month’s Tour Down Under, the first event of the 2011 ProTour season. McEwen joins an already strong lineup that includes seven-time Tour de France-winner Armstrong —competing in the Australian race for the third straight year — and former Swiss national champion Gregory Rast.

Race director Mike Turtur says “McEwen has won more stages of our race than anyone else and is a big favorite with the fans.” The 38-year-old McEwen has won 12 stages on the Tour de France and is a three-time winner of the Tour’s green jersey as top sprinter. The Tour Down Under will be raced in South Australia state from Jan. 16-23.

Golf • Gillette won’t renew contract with Woods: Procter & Gamble Co. will not renew its endorsement deal with Tiger Woods at the end of the year, adding another name to the list of companies that cut ties with the golfer after last year’s revelations of marital infidelities. The company used Woods, Roger Federer, Lionel Messi and dozens of other athletes as part of its three-year “Gillette Champions” marketing campaign. Gillette said Thursday it was phasing out that program and not renewing the contract with Woods and several other athletes.

It stopped using Woods himself in the campaign months ago. The golfer was once the most soughtafter pitchman in sports and was the first athlete to earn $1 billion from endorsement agreements.

However, many corporations cut ties or distanced themselves from Woods after the scandal that broke just over a year ago and dominated headlines for months.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers walks off the field after being tackled in a game against the Detroit Lions earlier this month. Rodgers suffered a concussion on the play.

Concussions don’t deter Packers’ QB Aaron Rodgers is returning after his second concussion of the season

By Judy Battista New York Times News Service

The best way to understand Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ attitude as he returns Sunday from his second concussion since October may be to look at the play on which he was injured.

Against Detroit two weeks ago, Rodgers took off for an 18-yard scramble that ended when he did not slide and his head was slammed into the Ford Field turf. Rodgers stayed in the game for a few more snaps before being pulled.

When Rodgers returned to practice Wednesday to prepare for the Giants — feeling “really good,” he said — he wore a new helmet designed to help protect him from additional concussions.

But Rodgers is the Packers’ second-leading rusher (55 carries for 309 yards and 4 touchdowns) during a season in which their running game has disappeared under an avalanche of injuries. Rodgers, who does not remember not sliding, said he has no plans to change the style that makes him a danger outside the pocket but also puts him at risk.

“I think it needs to continue to be a reactionary sport for me,” Rodgers said Wednesday in a conference call. “I trust my instincts when I’m on the field and I trust my ability to react to the things I see. I’m a guy who has made some plays outside the pocket. I’ve been a guy who slides 95 percent of the time and I’m going to continue to be a guy who slides 95 percent of the time.”

Now is the time Rodgers’ return comes at a critical time. The Packers (8-6) lost to the New England Patriots last week with Rodgers watching from the sideline, putting their postseason hopes — they were a preseason Super Bowl favorite — on the brink of demise. With the Chicago Bears having already clinched the NFC North title, a loss to the Giants would eliminate the Packers from the wild-card race, too. A win keeps them alive for the regular-season finale at home against the Bears. The Giants clinch a wild-card spot with a victory.

“Our playoffs started when we got on the plane to come home Sunday,” coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday. “That’s the way we’re approaching our preparation, that’s the way we’re approaching this game. It’s going to be a playoff-type atmosphere here at home.”

Rodgers and the Packers had hoped that he would be able to play last week, too. But Rodgers’ symptoms lingered longer than they did after his first concussion, and he was sent home.

That, he said, gave him a glimpse of what retirement would be like. By last Saturday, still not free of postconcussion symptoms, the team declared him out.

The move ended Rodgers’ 46-game start streak, making it unlikely he will ever threaten the streak that still makes Brett Favre a favorite among some Green Bay fans.

Rodgers’ backup, Matt Flynn, played well

against the Patriots — 24 of 37 for 251 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception — and Rodgers was often captured on camera smiling and celebrating the Packers’ ability to bedevil the Patriots in a game that many forecast would be a blowout.

Commander-in-chief But McCarthy called Rodgers the commander-in-chief of the offense. By Tuesday evening, Rodgers had been cleared to play by two doctors and his glee was obvious. He announced the news in a text message to an ESPNMilwaukee reporter. “I’m baaaaaaacckkk,” it read.

“It’s tough to miss a game this late in the season,” Rodgers said. “It’s almost as tough to not be able to be around guys and be in the huddle and that’s the things I missed last week.”

Rodgers sought to play down concerns about his health. He said he was not worried about taking more hits to the head, even though the Giants, with one of the best defensive lines in the NFL, have knocked six quarterbacks from games this season. Does he think about that?

“I don’t,” he responded.

And Rodgers tried to minimize the import of wearing a different helmet, one with an elongated shape that earned him some ribbing from teammates.

“It’s another piece of the puzzle here, as I’m feeling better, it’s something I decided to try out,” Rodgers said. “I’ve had a lot of fun and a lot of success in my old helmet and hopefully I’ll be able to have some of the same kind of success in this helmet.”

Cornerback Charles Woodson said: “He does have an ugly-looking helmet but we’ve got him back, got our play-caller back. It’s good to see him out there running around. I know he’s mad about missing last week’s game so we look forward to having him back in there.

Danger from the pocket The Giants were scorched by Michael Vick’s exceptional running in the Eagles’ stunning comeback victory last week. Rodgers’s running, of course, can not compare to Vick’s. But in a game with so much in the balance, the Giants are mindful that Rodgers is more than a traditional pocket passer.

“He does make plays with legs,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “He is athletic.”

Few of Rodgers’ runs are designed plays, though, so McCarthy, who said Rodgers looked great in practice Wednesday, will not ask Rodgers to try to protect himself more when he plays.

“I have zero concern about Aaron Rodgers as far as his health,” McCarthy said. “I don’t see myself having a conversation to try to change Aaron’s style of play. It’s important for Aaron to command the offense the way he always has. If we didn’t feel he was capable or confident to do that, we wouldn’t put him in that position.”

PITTSBURGH — So close to securing a division title, the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t need any tension, drama or surprises after a short week of preparation. The Carolina Panthers certainly couldn’t provide any.

Ben Roethlisberger showed off Pittsburgh’s deep passing game and the Steelers inched closer to a division title and a first-round playoff bye, beating the Panthers 27-3 on Thursday night.

Pittsburgh (11-4), bouncing back from Sunday’s 22-17 loss to the Jets, will wrap up the AFC North and the bye if it beats Cleveland on Jan. 2. The Browns (5-9) could end the division race even earlier than that if they upset the Ravens (10-4) at home on Sunday.

“There’s some hardware out there for us, the AFC North title, and that more than anything is what we’re focused on,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.

Roethlisberger found Mike Wallace on a 43yard scoring play and Emmanuel Sanders on a 35-yard completion to set up Rashard Mendenhall’s 1-yard touchdown run as the Steelers opened a 20-0 halftime lead. Roethlisberger ended 22 of 32 for 320 yards and no interceptions.

It didn’t seem that close and it wasn’t, not with Pittsburgh outgaining the Panthers (2-13) by a more than 3-to-1 margin while controlling the line of scrimmage, the clock and a Jimmy Clausen-led Carolina offense.

The Panthers couldn’t throw and, for a change, couldn’t run while being outgained 408-119.

“It’s good to be in the clubhouse before everyone else this weekend with a necessary win,” Tomlin said.

Not much of a season for the Panthers, who have lost eight of nine, and not much of a game.

Jonathan Stewart, who had averaged 115 yards in his previous four games, was held to 71 yards.

Love ’em or hate ’em, Cowboys still America’s Team

By Jaime Aron The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Although Jerry Jones calls this season “a huge disappointment” for his Dallas Cowboys, it sure hasn’t hurt the bottom line.

Based on attendance, television ratings and merchandise sales, the blue star on the shiny silver helmet remains the gold standard in the NFL and perhaps all of pro sports.

It’s hardly even close.

Love them or hate them, everyone pays attention to the Cowboys, in good times and bad.

Their enduring popularity in a season that opened with visions of becoming the first team to play in the Super Bowl at home, then cratered midway through when they were 1-7 and fired their coach, proves that no matter the circumstance this franchise remains “America’s Team.”

“I don’t know of any other team that would’ve gone through what they went through and provided the ratings punch the Cowboys did,” said Fred Gaudelli, producer of “Sunday Night Football” on NBC. “Dallas is way on top of the mountain.”

Wins and losses are all that matter to fans, and that’s foremost to folks in the front office, too. But they also monitor the financial standings, and that’s where the Cowboys really dominate.

They are the No. 1 team in the nation’s No. 1 sport, valued at $1.8 billion by Forbes and at or near the top in other major fiscal categories.

The astounding part is that they’ve maintained that glow despite this being their 15th straight season without winning the Super Bowl, or even reaching the championship game. It is the longest drought in franchise history.

“The Arizona Cardinals have had more success lately than the Dallas Cowboys, but there isn’t anyone who follows the industry that would want the Cardinals’ brand over the Cowboys’ brand,” said Marc Ganis, president of Chicagobased consulting company Sports Corp. Ltd. “That’s in large part because Jerry Jones is one of the great marketers sports has ever seen.

He finds ways to keep the Cowboys relevant, part of the national conversation.”

It’s hard to imagine the Cowboys having a stronger hold over the public.

They’re already the league’s No. 1 drawing card both at home and on the road. They are the only team that has played in front of a sold-out crowd every game this season.

Hockey • Devils fire coach: Facing the prospect of missing the playoffs for the first time since 1996, the New Jersey Devils fired rookie coach John MacLean on Thursday and brought back the firm hand of Jacques Lemaire to try to salvage the season. Based on Thursday night’s 5-1 loss to the New York Islanders, the 65-year-old Lemaire faces a tough task. The Devils have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NHL, and their 20 points in 34 games (9-23-2) is the worst mark in the league. Lamoriello made the decision two days after the Devils dropped a 5-1 decision to Washington for their third straight loss and eighth in nine games this month. The Devils have been outscored 20-4 in the last four games. A perennial contender in the Eastern Conference, the Devils were expected to be among the leaders again this season after re-signing All-Star forward Ilya Kovalchuk to a 15-year, $100 million contract.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Hillman runs for 228 as SDSU beats Navy in Poinsettia Bowl The Associated Press SAN DIEGO — Once workers pumped away 1.5 million gallons of rainwater that had flooded Qualcomm Stadium, it was smooth sailing for freshman Ronnie Hillman and San Diego State.

Hillman scored four touchdowns and matched his career best with 228 yards rushing on 28 carries to lead the Aztecs to their first bowl victory since 1969, 35-14 over Navy in the Poinsettia Bowl on Thursday night.

The only thing that slowed Hillman in the slightest was a wet sock. One of his cleats came off late in the third quarter and he hopped off the field, try-

ing to keep that foot dry.

“My socks got wet,” Hillman said. “That’s not a good feeling when you’ve got cleats on.”

Six plays later, he pulled in a 15-yard scoring pass from Ryan Lindley after a beautifully executed fake.

Lindley faked a handoff to Brandon Sullivan into the line, then hid the ball down by his right hip as Navy stood up the fullback at the line. Lindley hit a wide-open Hillman in the right corner of the end zone for a 28-14 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter.

Hillman, the Mountain West Conference Fresh-

man of the Year, scored on a 2-yard run midway through the period to go along with first-half scoring runs of 22 and 37 yards.

“It was very surprising,” Hillman said of his big night, the sixth time this season he gained at least 150 yards. “But the O-line, like I said, you could put a high school senior back there and he would have 1,000 yards behind this line. I can’t say enough about them.”

SDSU (9-4) hadn’t won a postseason game since beating Boston University in the 1969 Pasadena Bowl. The Aztecs had been in only three bowl games since.

MEN’S COLLEGE ROUNDUP

Reconstructed Magic have to rebuild their foundation With players like Gilbert Arenas and Hedo Turkoglu in the mix, Orlando hopes it has a winning combination

By Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Stan Van Gundy has never been one to preach patience.

These days, he doesn’t really have a choice.

The sobering state of the reconstructed Orlando Magic has forced the coach who lives and dies with every possession to face reality: After two blockbuster trades brought on by a midseason slide, the Magic are back in training-camp mode.

“It’s not even a matter of taking a couple of steps back. We’re literally starting at square one,” Van Gundy said. “Nobody wants to be there 28 games into the season.

But I’m just telling you, realistically, that’s where we are.”

Talk about a reality check.

In the span of about three weeks, the Magic (16-12) have gone from legitimate championship contenders to a team tied for fifth in the Eastern Conference that would do anything for a victory. Even just one.

They were free falling even before they orchestrated two trades that brought Gilbert Arenas from Washington and Hedo Turkoglu, Jason Richardson and Earl Clark from Phoenix. They gave up Rashard Lewis, Vince Carter, Mickael Pietrus and Marcin Gortat, plus a 2011 first-round draft pick and cash, in the deals.

Orlando has lost eight of its last 10 games and will have to find a way to come together in the most difficult part of its schedule or things could get even worse. The Magic got back on track on Thursday night with a 123-101 win over the NBA’s top team, San Antonio. They face the East’s top team, Boston, on Saturday.

“I was hoping I came in on the Bobcats, you know, Sacramento or something,” Arenas said, laughing. “But it’s not about now.

It’s about four months from now.”

The Magic are no longer playing for home-court advantage or a high-playoff seed.

Not that they aren’t hoping to win every game — they just realize the goal has changed. A franchise that started the year believing it had all the pieces for its first

The Associated Press

title quickly learned it wasn’t good enough to compete with Miami’s LeBron JamesDwyane Wade combo or Boston’s championship pedigree.

Incorporating new parts is never easy, even in the summer. Remolding a roster in December is even tougher. So the Magic are going all-in that this makeover will show results in May and June, even if that means taking their lumps now.

“It’s the second day of training camp.

This is the best that it is now,” Van Gundy said. “We’ve got a long, long way to go. I’d like to get it going sooner rather than later.

I don’t want to drop too low down in the standings. But I don’t know how long it’s going to take. It’s going to take as long as it takes. This is a whole new situation. It’s a whole new team, and the last three weeks here have been not a lot of things working in our favor, to be quite honest.”

How it all is supposed to work is the great unknown.

The Magic are hoping Turkoglu, perhaps the most important player other than Dwight Howard in Orlando’s 2009 NBA finals run, can find his finals form again after poor stops in Toronto and Phoenix.

Arenas gives Orlando another ball-handler who can create and Richardson another outside shooter, but the Magic — for the time being — are also without a true backup center.

The three biggest newcomers were unspectacular in their home debuts, as Arenas had two points (one for six), Turkoglu nine points (two for 11) and Richardson 10 points (four for 13). They played better on Thursday, though, with Arenas scoring 14 points and adding nine assists off the bench. Richardson had 15, while Turkoglu added 11.

“We’re just in a tough stretch right now, but it’s December. It can’t get any worse,” Howard said. “One thing I tell the guys is, ‘Don’t get frustrated with what’s going on right now. We all hate losing. But you know, we’ve got to learn from our mistakes and we have to stay together. We can’t allow games we lose to take us off our goal and keep us from each other.’”

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

James, Bosh lead Heat to 95-83 win over Suns The Associated Press PHOENIX — Minutes after guiding his team to victory, LeBron James walked across the court to the front row to share a few words with Muhammad Ali. A convincing win and a moment with The Greatest? Now that’s a stocking stuffer.

James and Chris Bosh carried Miami with fellow star Dwyane Wade in street clothes, and the Heat ran over the Phoenix Suns 95-83 on Thursday night to set up a Christmas Day showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I have (met him before), but it feels like the first time every time you meet him,” James said of his chat with Ali. “He’s by far one of the top two athletes in the world.”

James isn’t too bad himself.

The two-time league MVP raised eyebrows before the game, saying it might not be such a bad thing if the “watered down” NBA were to contract. On the court, he set the tone early with Wade nursing a sore knee and showcased his usual flythrough-the-air flair, earning oohs and aahs from the star-studded crowd when it wasn’t booing him.

James finished with 36 points on 13-of-22 shooting, grabbed six rebounds and had four assists to go with three steals.

Bosh gave the Heat a 1-2 punch Phoenix couldn’t keep up with, popping in midrange jumpers and getting to the rim on his way to 23 points and 11 rebounds.

The Heat were hoping to avoid a letdown against a team in transition and did just that, winning their eighth straight road game with a big one coming up against the two-time defending champions.

“We think we’re ready for it,” Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Phoenix debuted most of its refurbished lineup, missing only Vince Carter due to a sore left knee. Marcin Gortat and Mickael Pietrus had little impact — six combined points — and the Suns had no answer for two-thirds of Miami’s star trio in losing for the sixth time in eight games.

Jared Dudley scored 33 points and Steve Nash had 18 assists but took just four shots and scored four points against multiple double teams for the Suns, who will be on the road

HONOLULU — Klay Thompson knows how good Washington State is. He wants others to know, too.

Thompson scored 20 points, including two key 3-pointers down the stretch, and Washington State held on to upset No. 15 Baylor 77-71 in the semifinals of the Diamond Head Classic on Thursday.

“I think this game shows everybody in the country how good we can be. So if we carry this momentum into the Pac-10, we’re going to be good,” he said.

The Cougars (10-1), who nearly squandered a 20-point second-half lead, withstood a furious rally by the Bears for their fifth straight win. A season-high five players reached double figures for Washington State, which advanced to Saturday’s championship game against Butler. The Bulldogs beat Florida State 67-64 in the other semifinal.

Mountain View High School graduate Abe Lodwick started for the Cougars, scoring five points and grabbing eight rebounds.

“Last year, we might have folded a little bit, giving up a 20-point lead, we may have let that get to our head,” Thompson said. “This year, we’ve got so many good players and such a close team that when we face adversity like that, we’re not going to fold. We’re going to stay strong and keep coming at you.”

LaceDarius Dunn scored 29 points, all but four in the second half, for the Bears (82), while Quincy Acy had 16 points and 12 rebounds.

Deaf

NHL ROUNDUP

Penguins defeat Caps in preview of Winter Classic

Continued from D1 For someone whose goal in life is to assimilate in the hearing world, being singled out for heckling on the basketball court represented the highest form of praise. In the eyes of the Cal fans, he was the Matadors’ No. 42 and not “the deaf player.”

Speaking through a sign language interpreter after a tournament game here in November, Lizarraga, 21, said: “For me, my biggest dream was always to play for a Division I team. There were people who said I would never be able to do it. That made me more determined.

“I would say my favorite quote is, ‘Don’t tell me I can’t because I will.’ ”

The Associated Press

Living without hearing In town to watch the Matadors play in the 76 Classic were his parents, Tavo and Cari Lizarraga, who made the trip from their northern California home.

They had been married less than a year when they took Michael, then 17 months old, to be examined by doctors for chronic ear infections. A series of tests revealed that he was profoundly deaf, a diagnosis, Cari said, that stunned and numbed them. The couple’s younger child, Natalie, now 16, was also born deaf.

“There’s no deafness in our families,” she said. “It was something that was just so unknown to us.”

Lizarraga’s parents had bonded over music, especially pop and rock. One of the hardest realities to accept, Cari said, was that the children would never be touched by the melodies so central to their lives.

“You start thinking about all the things that you think that your child’s going to miss out on,” she said. “We turned that around real quickly.”

Talking out loud Lizarraga’s parents adopted the attitude that their children’s deafness would be an issue only if they made it one, which helps explain why the Matadors’ most vocal supporter during the tournament was the father of the player who cannot hear.

Tavo Lizarraga was in fastbreak mode for the full 40 minutes, his running commentary peppered with exhortations for his son and the other Northridge players that prompted a few bemused stares from spectators in his section.

“That’s why I cheer,” he said.

“Because if Michael was hearing, I’d be saying the same things.”

Lizarraga attended a mainstream elementary school with an Individualized Education Program, but for his middle school and high school years, he transferred to the California School for the Deaf in Fremont, a 90minute commute each way from

NFL Continued from D1 Chicago was considered a .500 or worse squad heading into 2010, a likely third-place finisher in the NFC North — if the Bears could hold off the Lions.

Then Lovie Smith turned his personal hot seat into a torrid team whose defense and special teams have been so formidable that mistakes by the offense generally have not been critical.

Having a healthy Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs at linebacker has been critical, and the secondary has developed nicely.

Doubters will be vocal when the playoffs begin and the Bears could be an underdog at home even if they earn a bye, because the Eagles, Saints, Falcons and Giants seem to have more supporters. That shouldn’t taint what has been a terrific turnaround season.

Two other coaches supposedly needing to prove themselves this year were Raheem Morris in Tampa and Jack Del Rio in Jacksonville. Must be something about the sunshine, but both have done admirable jobs with so-so rosters.

The Bucs have the league’s youngest team, one filled with playmakers such as WR Mike Williams, DT Gerald McCoy, CB Aqib Talib, RB LeGarrette Blount and QB Josh Freeman. That certainly bodes well, even if Tampa hasn’t defeated an opponent with a winning record this year.

Not only have the Jaguars been in contention in the AFC South — albeit a weakened division in 2010 — but they haven’t been blacked out all season. Maybe that’s their biggest achievement.

Maurice Jones-Drew has emerged as a superior running back, the unheralded trio of TE

Danny Moloshok / The New York Times

Cal State Northridge forward Michael Lizarraga looks to a sign language interpreter, Erin Matthews, as she communicates with him during a game against Cal Lutheran earlier this month. his family’s home in Dixon. His mother’s eyes welled with tears as she recalled the conversation that precipitated the switch.

“He came home from school crying one day,” Cari said, “and said he didn’t understand why he was different, why he couldn’t hear like everyone else.”

Prep star During his high school years, Lizarraga starred in football, baseball and basketball. His coaches and teachers encouraged him to pursue athletics and academics at Gallaudet in Washington, the nation’s only liberal arts university for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Lizarraga had his sights set elsewhere. He chose Northridge, which houses the National Center on Deafness and has about 200 students who are deaf or hard of hearing among an enrollment of more than 35,000. He tried out for the basketball team and earned a precious walk-on spot.

The Matadors’ coach, Bobby Braswell, is known for being as intense as his tirades are long.

He has a stare that could bend steel, but in the course of making Lizarraga tougher, Braswell softened.

Because Lizarraga absorbs information with his eyes, not his ears, Braswell has had to become more demonstrative when teaching — showing and not just screaming. As a result of working with Lizarraga, Braswell said he is more attuned to all of his players’ nonverbal cues.

In the beginning, Braswell said, “because Mike didn’t get a lot of playing time, he couldn’t really work through his mistakes

and kind of redeem himself.” He added, “He has such an intuitive feel for the game, he picks things up pretty fast.”

Starting lineup Lizarraga, who broke into the starting lineup as a junior and has started nine games this season, said he could not explain how he knows when an official has blown a whistle or a teammate is trying to get his attention, just that he does.

“Most of the time it’s just instinct,” he said.

In his pregame talk before the Matadors played DePaul here, Braswell challenged his players to follow the example of Lizarraga, who has not let obstacles turn into excuses for not succeeding.

Northridge went out and handed the Blue Demons an 88-66 defeat, becoming the first team from the Big West to defeat a team from the Big East since 2005.

“Just imagine hanging out with these guys, going places, whether it’s to a restaurant, whatever it is, and you’re not really being able to hear what’s going on,” Braswell said. “To be in the locker room and sometimes there’s a sign language interpreter, sometimes there’s not, and you have to deal with all those things. Guys on the bus with headphones on listening to the music and you can’t do that. Because he’s always smiling, you wouldn’t even sense that he misses anything.”

Common ground Lizarraga, a recreation, tourism and management major, employs humor as a bridge to the speaking world. Using pan-

Marcedes Lewis and WRs Mike Thomas and Mike Sims-Walker have combined for 19 touchdowns receiving, and the defensive has some rising stars in Terrance Knighton, Jeremy Mincey and Tyson Alualu.

St. Louis, meanwhile, could become the first sub-.500 division winner in league history.

The Rams have become competitive in Steve Spagnuolo’s second year as coach with a vastly improved defense led by youngsters DE Chris Long, LB James Laurinaitis and CB Bradley Fletcher.

Helped by superb RB Steven Jackson, top overall draft pick Sam Bradford has been better than anyone could expect from a rookie quarterback throwing to an obscure group of receivers.

How many people know Danny Amendola? Well, he leads the Rams with 75 receptions, more catches than Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings or Brandon Marshall.

More names to get accustomed to among the winners reside in Kansas City: Dwayne Bowe, Matt Cassel, Jamaal Charles, Branden Albert, Tamba Hali and Eric Berry. Todd Haley will get strong consideration for coach of the year.

Young became disruptive.

Former Titan Albert Haynesworth was disruptive all season in Washington, where Mike Shanahan’s first year has been filled with disappointment and turmoil. Now, Shanahan has created a quarterback controversy.

Shanahan protege Gary Kubiak could be out of a job in Houston, where expectations were the Texans would get their first playoff berth. Instead, they have one of the league’s leakiest defenses and a penchant for making horrendous plays at the worst time.

San Francisco had designs on its first playoff since 2002, then began the season 0-5 amid communication problems and underachievement. Despite the problems, the 49ers can still get in the playoffs, however.

Tony Sparano should survive in Miami, but explain how a team can be as good as anyone on the road — the Dolphins are 6-1 — and go 1-6 at home. And can they possibly lose this week to the Lions, whose last road victory before their win this past Sunday at Tampa seemingly came with Bobby Layne at quarterback?

The bad

We are talking hideous here.

Arizona, a Super Bowl loser after the 2008 season and NFC West winner in 2009, couldn’t replace retired quarterback Kurt Warner or defensive defectors Karlos Dansby and Antrell Rolle, and traded receiver Anquan Boldin. The Cardinals’ QB follies were among the biggest jokes in the NFL. Carolina showed no interest in re-signing coach John Fox — watch him show up quickly in another job in 2011 if he wants — and then the team showed no interest in the season.

Cincinnati won the AFC North and swept its six divisional matchups in 2009. This year? The Bengals blew a great chance for the top overall draft pick last Sunday by doing something strange: winning. They are 3-11 after tying a team record by dropping 10 in a row. Coach Marvin Lewis is a goner.

Jeff Fisher, with by far the longest tenure of any coach with the same franchise, also might want out of Tennessee after the Titans fell from 5-2 to 6-8 and QB Vince

tomime and his face, which is as malleable as putty, he does imitations that his teammate Lenny Daniel described as hilarious.

“Every time I’m with Mike I laugh,” Daniel said. “He has a good spirit. When he’s being a jokester, we feel like we don’t have to be so self-conscious that he’s deaf.”

Their laughter sometimes comes at the expense of an unwitting official, as happened at the Cal game when one approached Lizarraga to tell him something.

When he failed to respond, the official moved closer and spoke louder until another Northridge player tapped him on the shoulder and, according to Daniel, said: “Dude, he can’t hear you.

He’s deaf.”

Daniel, a senior forward, said: “When you’re around Mike, you realize you take a lot of stuff for granted. You can’t feel sorry for him because he doesn’t want you to.” He added, “I’ve never met a guy like Mike in my life.”

Kendra Blessing, a hearing student from Pennsylvania, went to Northridge to major in deaf studies because her dream is to be a sign language interpreter.

She was introduced to Lizarraga last year at a bowling party, and before long they were staying up all night — signing.

Last weekend, during a 4 1⁄2 hour hike, they ended up under the iconic Hollywood sign where Lizarraga proposed. Blessing enthusiastically accepted. At that moment Lizarraga’s future felt boundless.

“The sun was setting,” Lizarraga wrote in an e-mail message, “and it was such a clear and beautiful day, you could see the entire city.”

Jerry Jones trumpeted his Cowboys’ chances for playing in a Super Bowl they are hosting.

He was blowing the wrong horn.

All of Josh McDaniels’ bad decisions and poor rapport with just about everyone cost him his coaching spot in Denver, and saw the Broncos sink to the depths of the league.

But for all-time ugly, need we say more than the Minnesota Vikings and Brett Favre?

WASHINGTON — Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins used their first game this season against the Washington Capitals to set some high expectations for the Winter Classic.

Crosby extended his points streak to 23 games with a goal and an assist, and Pascal Dupuis scored the decisive goal in the seventh round of a shootout to give the Penguins a 3-2 victory Thursday night.

“You almost could have wished this was the outdoor game,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said, “but it’s a prelude for sure.”

The preview of the New Year’s Day matchup between the teams at Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field will be hard to top.

But Crosby thinks Thursday’s game is a perfect selling point.

“People outside of hockey fans, I think they learned a little more about each team and the guys on each team,” he said. “It might be a little more intense because of that, but I think as far as both teams are concerned, it’s probably pretty high as it is.”

Crosby, the NHL’s leading scorer with 60 points on 29 goals and 31 assists in 36 games, has the league’s longest points streak since 199293 when Quebec’s Mats Sundin had a 30-game run.

“I try not to think about it, just go out there and do the same thing every night and hope that I capitalize and create things,” Crosby said.

“You’ve still got to evaluate your game. It’s not always based on points.”

Chris Kunitz also scored to help the Penguins win their third straight and 15th in 17 games.

Dupuis converted a wrister from the inside edge of the right circle, ending the shootout after Marc-Andre Fleury used his skate to block Mike Green’s drive at the right post for his sixth straight save.

Greg Stafford / Submitted to The Bulletin

Rex Shepard, of Bend, flies off Tumalo Mountain during a backcountry ski training exercise for the Cascade Challenge.

Challenge Continued from D1 Support personnel will aid the expedition along the way, providing nutrition, hydration, and medical and equipment needs.

“The Cascades aren’t a very technical mountain range, and access to them is great,” says Stafford, 27. “That’s one of the reasons it’s feasible. We really think we can accomplish it.”

The team members gathered in Bend last weekend to test their fitness and begin preparations.

They did 50 miles of simulated road biking at the Athletic Club of Bend and skinned about eight miles through deep snow near Soda Creek, off Cascade Lakes Highway west of Mount Bachelor.

“We wanted to know if we could do all these activities in a whole weekend,” Shepard says. “It sort of opens our eyes to our fitness levels to what we need to do so we can do even more than what we did this weekend.”

Shepard, 25, will serve as the team’s ski coordinator and guide.

Certified in avalanche safety, he

will assess the snow and dig pits to analyze the snow on different peaks.

A wildland firefighter in the summer who works at Skjersaa’s Ski & Snowboard shop in Bend during the winter, Shepard is training to be a backcountry ski guide.

Both Stafford and Shepard are certified Wilderness First Responders with extensive experience in mountaineering and backcountry skiing. Stafford, who has climbed and hiked in Patagonia (Argentina) and New Zealand, has climbed 11 Cascade peaks.

As a backcountry ski and snowboard mountaineer, Shepard has traveled all over the western United States, Canada and New Zealand.

“I’ve always been passionate about skiing and mountain biking, and multisports in the outdoors,” Shepard says. “There’s definitely a lot of sports involved (in the Cascade Challenge): climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing, skiing.”

Some of the more technical climbs along the way will include two in Washington: the north ridge on Mount Baker, and Mount

Rainier, which the team climbed together this past July.

A summit of Mount Baker will require some ice climbing near the top, according to Shepard.

Stafford says if conditions are too stormy, they may need to bypass some mountains for safety reasons.

But they plan to ski or snowboard from the summit of most of the 15 mountains, although that type of descent is impossible on peaks such as Central Oregon’s Mount Washington and Mount Jefferson, according to Stafford.

The team will use crampons, ice axes and rope on Baker, Rainier, and on some other peaks in the northern Cascades.

Manies, who knows Stafford and Shepard from their time together as students at Southern Oregon University in Ashland, plans to join the team in a support role for a couple of weeks when the expedition comes through Central Oregon. He will serve as a backpack and camp coordinator.

“I think as we found out from the training weekend, (the hardest part) is really getting your body adjusted to the constant work

flow,” says Manies, 26. “You’ve got to get your body acclimated to the constant work … and making sure our gear is really dialed.

Every ounce counts. If something is not essential, you don’t want to bring it.”

While other mountaineers have previously climbed and skied all of the Cascade peaks, Stafford believes this might be the first time a multisport traverse of the range entirely by human propulsion will have been attempted.

The team will use GPS technology to track their route, allowing anyone interested to follow their progress online and read blog posts along the way.

With the support of the American Heart Association, the Cascade Challenge participants plan to produce a video documentary of their trip, which they hope to use as part of their educational presentations to schools around the Northwest.

“Really,” says Shepard, “just getting people out there.”

Capturing

memories

About 3 percent of kids age 8-18 never eat meat, poultry or fish, according to a recent study

by Harris Interactive on behalf of The Vegetarian Resource Group.

This would mean about 1.4 million youths are vegetarian.

About 7 percent of the youths surveyed said they never ate meat (although they did report eating poultry and/or fish and seafood).

This would total about 3 million kids.

About one-third of those who identified as vegetarians were vegans, which means they also did not eat dairy, eggs or honey.

The information is based on a poll of 1,258 students age 8-18.

Giving birth after 45 linked to risks Women ages 45 and older who give birth are more likely to experience risks, according to a new study in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.

Researchers compared outcomes for a group of women ages 45 and older with those younger.

The older group of women were more likely to experience gestational diabetes (17 percent versus 6 percent), hypertensive complications (20 percent versus 5 percent) and pre-eclampsia (11 percent versus 2 percent).

The older mothers were also more likely to give birth via cesarean (79 percent versus 29 percent) and were more likely to have a postpartum hemorrhage, prolonged hospitalization and low birth weight.

Shannon Schmitt Taylor laughs with her grandmother Peggy Boyer while sharing family memories in her room at Stone Lodge last week. The pair spent years working together on a book of family history.

How to keep your family stories alive for generations

By Alandra Johnson • The Bulletin rowing up, Bend resident Shannon Schmitt Taylor liked to listen to her grandma tell all sorts of stories. Many of the stories were about relatives and family history. There was the story of Aunt Lucy, who stood up to the Ku Klux Klan. And the story of her great-grandfather who disguised himself as a priest to travel from Ireland to America (he even performed a marriage ceremony on a ship crossing the Atlantic).

Taylor’s grandma, Elizabeth “Peggy” Boyer, 86, has collected all sorts of information, documents, letters and newspaper clippings about the family’s rich history.

When Taylor, now 33, was pregnant with her son, she realized she wanted to help her grandmother preserve the family history. The pair have been collaborating on a book ever since. Boyer collected information and wrote the stories, some with the help of her daughter, Mary Ann Schwind. Taylor typed, edited and organized all of it. For awhile, Taylor scheduled time every Tuesday and Thursday to work on the book. They would talk on the phone and write it chapter by chapter. Now, about eight years later, they are nearly done with the project. The book is about 200 pages long and includes lots of stories and photographs.

G

Many people may not have the ambition to write a book — or eight years to devote to the project — but many may like the idea of capturing family memories and stories, particularly those from older relatives. There are many ways to preserve these families stories before they are lost forever and some methods do not require much in the way of equipment or time. This holiday season may offer a great opportunity for such an endeavor.

As family members sit around the fire or consider gobbling a fifth cookie, why not take a few moments to preserve some family history?

ISSUES IN AGING

The journey Taylor grew up in the same town as her grandmother, Castle Rock, Colo.

The family had homesteaded in the town and growing up there, Taylor “always felt connected to ancestors” she never met.

Boyer had long talked about writing a book to collect the family history. This work represents that culmination. They hope to have it ready to give to family members for Christmas or soon thereafter.

“I would like my relatives to be remembered, and it was special because it was with Shannon,” said Boyer. “I’m really fond of her.”

Shannon Taylor looks for one of her favorite photos of her grandfather as her son Tanner, 7, looks over her shoulder last week. Taylor wanted to preserve family memories to pass down to her son.

Taylor’s one regret is that they weren’t able to finish it sooner. Boyer has a stroke this summer, and that made them push ahead to complete the book.

“It’s hard with everything that goes on in life to get it done,” said Taylor.

Preserving memories ON YOUR OWN • Get writing.

• Think about vignettes. Rather than starting at the beginning, consider starting with what moves you. What is your most important/ favorite story or memory? Write that down, then move on to the next.

• Consider fill-inthe-blank books.

There are several books on the market now which feature questionandanswer style formats to help people capture family stories and memories.

These books provide a structure and are easy to use.

• Let photographs inspire you. Take a look through old photo albums. Pick a few key photos to write about.

• Record yourself.

If writing isn’t your strong suit, consider talking aloud to a digital recorder or videotaping.

When Tania Sarabia entered first grade, she only knew how to speak a little bit of English she had picked up by watching “Blues Clues” and cartoons. She was far behind the language skills of her classmates, most of whom could read a little.

Tania was raised speaking mostly Spanish at home in California, where she was raised by her parents, both immigrants from Mexico. Despite this disparity, within a few months Tania had caught up with her classmates. From there, she never looked back.

Now the Bend High senior is getting good grades, is active in extracurricular activities and is ready to head off to college.

Her high school counselor, Gary Whitley, calls Tania delightful. She has impressed him with her effort and attitude. Whitley says it is somewhat unusual for someone with her background — not speaking English until she entered school — to be taking advanced placement courses and excelling academically. “She’s a multitalented girl,” he said.

College Tania would be the first in her immediate family to go to college, and for her, it’s a big deal.

Small acts of kindness can give hope to those in need Dear Abby: From time to time you print letters about random acts of kindness. May I share something that happened to me?

On Jan. 30, 2009, my husband and I took our three kids to a restaurant for breakfast to celebrate our twins’ fourth birthday. When it was time to pay our bill, the waiter told us that a couple who had been sitting behind us had taken care of our tab.

What that couple didn’t know was that the day before, my doctor had informed me a lump in my neck was probably lymphoma and that he needed to do a biopsy as soon as possible. He had wanted me to meet with a surgeon that morning, but I told him no. It was the twins’ birthday, and I didn’t want them to associate their birthday with the day Mommy got sick.

What that couple did was more than pay for our meal; it gave me hope. I felt it was a sign that everything would be “taken care of.” To pay it forward, we left the waiter a large tip.

I did end up with Hodgkin’s disease, but I have been in remission since August 2009.

— Blessed in Wisconsin Dear Blessed: Your letter made me smile. Your hope was rewarded and everything WAS “taken care of.” And because Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a treatable cancer, I hope you will continue to enjoy good health for many decades to come.

Dear Abby: I have a big problem. My father refuses to spend time with me. He is a firefighter and says he has a busy schedule.

I understand that. But when he has extra time, he will find anything else to do. I tried talking to him — it was like talking to a brick wall.

My mom has comforted me a lot, but I feel there is something missing in my life. That missing part is my dad. Please help me to figure out how I can make the

DEAR ABBY situation better.

— Girl in Need in Baltimore Dear Girl in Need: You have already done as much as you can. It is now up to your mother and/or your grandparents to help your father understand that there is more to being a parent than providing financial support. I hope he gets the message before it’s too late — for him, not you.

Dear Abby: An odd custom is beginning to surface in my local church. Showers for new brides and new mothers are being announced from the pulpit at Sunday services. All church members are invited to attend, and in one or two instances even told what to bring for gifts.

I have always understood that showers are given by close friends, relatives, associates, etc.

Just what is proper procedure for this? How does one respond to these “open” invitations? I have not responded. Am I wrong?

Please help.

— Socially Naive in South Carolina Dear Socially Naive: You are not wrong; you are correct. Approach your pastor and ask why this is being done. If the reason is that the bride-to-be or mother-to- be is financially needy, and you would like to contribute, then attend the showers. If not, then treat the announcement as you would any open invitation. If you choose not to attend, you are not obligated to give a gift.

P.S. I agree with you. It is an “odd” custom.

Christmas memories of the stars

By Luaine Lee McClatchy-Tribune News Service

As we approach Christmas and wind down all the rush, we’re often reminded of the memorable times from Christmas past. Celebrities have their own vivid memories of some of those memorable days.

Kyra Sedgwick remembers when her husband, actor Kevin Bacon, proposed.

“He put a ring in the toe of a stocking and on Christmas Eve we opened our stockings and it was there at the bottom. And then he got down on his knees and he was shaking and said, ‘Will you marry me?’ I thought, ‘What took you so long?’ We’d been going out for 10 months already ... He says it took a long time for me to say yes, but I’m sure it wasn’t more than 20 seconds.”

Tom Cruise remembers his family holidays. “I would say one of the best Christmases as a kid is when we didn’t buy each other stuff. My mother came up with this idea to pick names out of a hat and, for a month, you had to do something for that person. And then, on Christmas day, you had to write a poem or a story for that person. But you had to do something special for that person every day for a month leading up to Christmas. And you can’t reveal who it is. So all five of us were running around ... I drew one of my sisters, so I had to go in and make her bed when she was in the shower ... It was fantastic. And then, Christmas day came, and we each got up and said who we had and wrote a story. And I love that.

I love that. My mother was very much ... we would go to nursing homes to help people around that time, and she was very much supportive and encouraging to help others.”

Halle Berry remembers joyful holidays. “I grew up with a singleparent family, so we didn’t always have a lot of money, but my mother, she must have spent the entire year saving up for Christmas, because I felt on Christmas that we were rich, because we always got everything we ever wrote on our list to Santa.”

Carrie Underwood says food was often the centerpiece of her family’s holiday. “We don’t really have that many traditions, but we are together and that’s the most important thing. We eat ourselves silly and try, of course, to remember the true meaning of Christmas and celebrate the birth of Jesus. My mom always makes like a broccoli cheese casserole and we do like potato casseroles and stuff like that. Just whatever is meat free. I can load on my plate, I’m there. I am not a picky eater. I just love food.”

Keanu Reeves recalls returning from Kathmandu, Nepal, where he was making “Little Buddha.” “I had been away from home for a long time and gone through quite an extraordinary experience and I remember coming home and having Christmas at my house and having so many friends who couldn’t go home or whatever. It was a wonderful Christmas with 20 people — just friends and family — and just a great night.”

Chris Rock remembers a special Christmas in Africa. “A couple years ago my family, we were

in Africa on safari for Christmas. And stayed at a lodge and my kids were really young and they were so scared Santa wasn’t going to show. And just the look on their faces when their toys were under a tree in Africa. Kind of cool.”

For newscaster Linda Ellerbee it was a melancholy Christmas that lingers. “It was a visit to Auschwitz just before Christmas and it was devastating. It was the saddest place on Earth.

I’d never seen it. The heart was heavy, what could one say? The tears are both necessary and appropriate.”

For Oliver Pratt it was a Christmas that foretold his destiny. “I was in the fourth grade in the Christmas pageant at the Potomac School in McLean, Va., and I was the innkeeper who turned away Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus. And I had one

line. My line was, ‘Here there is no rest or bed for poor folks such as ye, the rich they lodge here, yes, they do, but they pay plentifully.’ The whole auditorium went totally nuts. When you’re an insecure, screwed-up kid who doesn’t know anybody and that happens to you, you go, ‘Oh, I’ll have some more of this. This is really fun.’ On a deeper psychological level you think it nurtures you, but the fact of the matter is, it’s just fun!”

Halle Berry remembers joyful holidays as a kid. “Christmas was always a great time. I grew up with a single-parent family, so we didn’t always have a lot of money, but my mother, she must have spent the entire year saving up for Christmas, because I felt on Christmas that we were rich, because we always got everything we ever wrote on our list to Santa.”

Be enchanted by ‘Nanny McPhee’ The Washington Post “Nanny McPhee Returns� (PG, 108 minutes): Emma Thompson reprises her 2005 role as the title character, a strict old bag, who looks more Roald Dahl than Mary Poppins.

Her appearance is startling: hairy moles, bulbous nose, a unibrow and one colossal front tooth. But her physical disarray is balanced by her supernatural ability to clean up a chaotic scene. Such is the plight of Isabel Green (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a quirky, loving mother who tries to protect her children from the horrors of World War II. To complicate matters, her

scheming brother-in-law wants her to sell her half of the family farm so he can pay off gambling debts, and her hoity-toity niece and nephew are visiting from London. As expected, the Green children are at odds with their spoiled bigcity counterparts. Contains rude humor, some language and mild thematic elements.

DVD extras: Commentary with director Susanna White; deleted scenes; featurettes, including Thompson’s transformation into Nanny McPhee through time-lapse photography and working with pigs and mud.

In “Nanny McPhee Returns,�

Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most.

Helping kids mind their manners in restaurants

By Heidi Stevens Chicago Tribune

Q: A:

Your 5-year-old behaves terribly in restaurants. Should you stop dining out with her? “Going out to a restaurant seems to me a privilege, especially given today’s economic hardship,� said child psychologist Richard Bromfield, author of “How to Unspoil Your Child Fast.� “Parents have two choices: Take strong steps to teach their children to handle that privilege

or bag going out to eat. “Foremost, they may have bigger and louder children who forever ruin meals and every other family outing,� said Bromfield. “More importantly, it can be a sign that children are — dare I say — spoiled or overindulged.

Next time your child acts up at, say, her favorite pizza joint, view it as an opportunity to “shock and awe� her into proper behavior, says Bromfield. Immediately get up and leave the restaurant with her, head

home and stay there. Do not take the pizza home with you.

Don’t stay for the sake of siblings or friends who are with you. “Different children need different parenting at different times, even within one family,� he said. “Strong parenting knows this — and the kids who are innocent bystanders will survive and understand it, too.�

Pay your bill and don’t look back. “Take it from me, a professional child psychologist,�

Bromfield said.

Rating: PG for brief rude humor, mild language and action.

What it’s about: A loser and would-be travel writer is sucked into a world of tiny people where he can be heroic, successful and admired.

The kid attractor factor: Jack Black and lots of teeny-tiny people in 3-D, with the odd buttcrack joke.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “Put yourself out there.� But don’t plagiarize.

Violence: Slapstick, shots to the groin, etc.

Language: A brief dissertation on the “A� word, attached to the prefix “lame.�

Sex: None, though a lengthy peeto-put-out-a-fire bit should count.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: More family friendly than your typical Jack Black farce, with the effects and humor aimed very young. OK for 8 and older.

‘Little Fockers’ Rating: PG-13 for mature sexual humor throughout, language and some drug content.

What it’s about: The hapless male nurse is now a success, but does he earn more respect from his family and father-in-law?

The kid attractor factor: Ben Stiller slapstick, 5-year-olds projectile vomiting.

Good lessons/bad lessons: When it comes to families, “We’ve got our thing, and it works.�

Violence: A big brawl finale.

Language: Son of a this, helluva that, and ongoing puns on the Focker family name.

Sex: Discussed, suggested, with an overdone erectile dysfunction gag.

Drugs: A Jessica Alba drunk scene.

Parents’ advisory: Don’t be the parent whose kids teach my kids dirty words in elementary school. 13-and-older only.

‘Yogi Bear’ Rating: PG for some mild rude humor.

What it’s about: Hanging out with a smarter-than-the-average bear in Jellystone Park.

The kid attractor factor: The character has been around for-

ever, but this time he’s in 3-D. And Boo Boo is voiced by Justin Timberlake.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “You can never fail if you never stop trying.�

Violence: Mild-mannered slapstick.

Language: Disney clean, with the odd butt joke.

Sex: Flirtation Drugs: None Parents’ advisory: A harmless VERY small-child friendly boymeets-girl and bear-steals-pic-anic-basket comedy, suitable for 8 and younger.

‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1’ Rating: PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality.

What it’s about: The wizards and witch are a long way from Hogwarts, on the run as they try to foil You Know Who’s plans.

The kid attractor factor: The Harry Potter epic winds down with an “Empire Strikes Back� dose of gloom and doom.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Education builds the character we need to make it through life’s trials.

Violence: Bloody, in a couple of instances.

Language: The occasional mild oath.

Sex: Near nudity in one scene of “brief sensuality.�

Drugs: None Parents’ advisory: The PG-13 is for blood and violence and one slightly racy hallucination. Suitable for 10 and older.

‘Unstoppable’ Rating: PG-13 for sequences of action and peril, and some language.

What it’s about: Two railroad workers try to catch and stop a runaway train.

The kid attractor factor: A runaway train!

Good lessons/bad lessons: Companies lay off their most experienced “heroes� every day.

Violence: Injuries, an off-camera death.

Language: Some profanity, understandable, considering the circumstances.

Sex: Hooters Girls are ogled.

Drugs: None Parents’ advisory: A very positive, family-friendly action picture, OK for 8 and older.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Dec. 24, 2010: You often become distracted by a boss or key person in your life. This year, learn how to juggle the many demands of life. At first you might feel awkward, but you will succeed.

If you are single, you could meet someone quite special who you can become much closer to than anyone before. Don’t rush or push.

If you are attached, you and your sweetie dance quite a jig. You enjoy each other more than you have in a long time. LEO helps you relax as he or she bottom-lines issues.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You might feel as if you are on a countdown. You are! Use care with someone who has difficulty with the holidays.

A little indulgence will go a long way. Play a more subtle role in upcoming events. Tonight: The kid within you rises.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Understand your limits when dealing with family and last-minute details. The Bull is human. Stop pushing when it is evident that no more can be done. Others want you to enjoy yourself. Tonight: At home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Don’t stand on ceremony with someone who plays games unconsciously. Make the extra effort; be clear in your message.

A problem or a distance could be bridged. One-on-one relating opens

new doors. Many people seem to be bidding for your attention.

Tonight: Chat up a storm.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Be aware of what is going on financially. You might not be able to make that last-minute effort or get that gift. Make it OK to give a card or some other less costly token of affection. Share strong feelings.

Tonight: Treat yourself well too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Others gather, wanting your attention. You always attract others, but especially so right now. Whether bringing friends and family together or taking care of some last-minute details, make time for yourself too. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Remember, you are still overly sensitive and perhaps in a “bah humbug” mood. Do your best to process your negative feelings. Stop and visit with some people who are less fortunate. You might perk up.

Tonight: Relax with the moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your ability to draw people out could be more significant than you realize. You may decide to make a round of parties of visits. On some level you greet the holiday with relief. Nevertheless, you do enjoy the celebration.

Tonight: Without question, you are where the action is!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Assume a traditional role within your immediate circle. Take the lead as the holiday unfolds. Whether you are throwing a get-together or

taking care of older relatives or friends, know that you make a difference. Tonight: Could be late.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your mind is certainly not on the here and now. You could be quite detached from those around you. If you need to make a call or take a walk in order to be more present, do. Tonight: Reflect on the true meaning of this holiday.

Don’t forget “ho ho ho” music.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Explore the possibilities with others in discussions that might not be holiday related. Know what you would like to extract from this situation. Guide a talk accordingly, and be open. You might not be comfortable with the immediate results, but something better is ahead. Tonight: Be with a favorite person as the holiday unfolds.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH Juggling all your friends and maintaining a heavy pace could make even the strongest person tired. Remember to slow down some time in the day and take a few minutes just for you. Tonight: Dance to another’s tune. Everyone will be happier if you are compliant!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Orchestrating events could be a dominant theme right now.

You also might be picking up lastminute details involving work or a project. Yes, your hands are full.

Make it a point to cut out all the excess activity at a certain time.

Tonight: Make a special meal.

Enjoy the ones around you. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Memories Continued from E1 Taylor likes the book because she feels as if she’s gotten to know some of her other relatives, people she had never met.

She also gets a deeper picture of her grandmother and the people who were important in her life.

“It’s been fun to have a goal to work on with my grandma,” said Taylor. She is also excited that her son Tanner has something tangible he can read now.

The project was also a way that Taylor could honor her grandmother, whom she calls her best friend.

“I just love my grandma, and this is a nice way to honor her.

She’s been a major role model in my life,” said Taylor.

Boyer was an attorney who raised two daughters by herself.

“I feel like I owe a lot to her for who I am,” said Taylor. And she thinks it is important for Tanner to know who his great-grandmother is as well.

Mining the past Those looking to preserve family members’ memories may want to check out StoryCorps, a nonprofit organization with a mission to record and preserve the stories of Americans. The digital audio recordings are preserved in the Library of Congress and excerpts of many interviews have aired on National Public Radio. The nonprofit’s website offers a wealth of information about how individuals can try to do this same project themselves.

The group also offers some information about interviewing those with memory loss. “The idea being these stories are really important and memories

Tania Continued from E1 She got the idea of going to college when she was in fourth grade and attended a cousin’s high school graduation. Tania remembers her dad, Ricardo Sarabia, pointing out all of the honors students wearing special-colored robes. He wanted her to be like them and to go on to college. “It opened my eyes,” Tania said.

She says her father was the

are changing and fading,” said Chaela Herridge-Meyer, the senior coordinator of communications for StoryCorps.

Individuals can rent a kit from the nonprofit or can try to follow the interview technique at home.

The key, according to HerridgeMeyer is that “you don’t necessarily want to wait,” particularly when it comes to older relatives.

She traveled across the country recording interviews and time and again she heard people who were upset they didn’t get the chance to interview a loved one because they had waited too long.

Local resident Jinny CollinsCooper has been working to preserve the memories of people who have served in wars through the Veterans History Project with the Library of Congress. She has conducted 84 interviews so far.

Afterward, the interviews are sent to the Library of Congress.

She has seen men break down and cry talking about certain events or talk about things they never even told their wives. They carried all of this baggage home with them from war and felt unable to share it until now. “Unless we learn about it, it will all be gone,” said Collins-Cooper.

She has also explored her own family’s history and discovered one of her great-grandfathers about seven generations back fought in the Revolutionary War. She hopes that the information she has collected will mean something to her grandchildren.

Bend resident Curt Lantz, 72, has also been working to document his family’s history, in particular part of the family that homesteaded at Fort Rock.

Lantz’s grandfather homesteaded in the area in 1915. Lantz now attends an annual Fort Rock Homesteaders Association and

first in his family to graduate from high school.

“I know they worked hard for me to get an education,” said Tania.

Tania’s top two college choices are the University of Oregon and Chapman University, which is near her family in California. Tania plans to major in business or graphic design.

Activities Tania has been very active in

C OV ER S T OR I ES

Preserving Continued from E1 • Answer questions. Take a look at some of the basic interview questions and answer them in whichever form feels most comfortable.

WITH A RELATIVE • Visit the StoryCorps website (www.storycorps.org/diy). This site offers comprehensive do-it-yourself instructions for individuals, from questions to ask to equipment to purchase. The site focuses on audio recordings. It is based on the StoryCorps program, which is featured on National Public Radio.

• Decide whom to interview.

Start off with just one person. If that goes well, you can always record further interviews.

• Consider selecting older relatives to interview, as time could be a factor in their ability to remember.

• Figure out what equipment you want to use. Do you want to videotape this interview, do an audio recording or take notes? Digital audio recorders are now relatively inexpensive (less than $100) and the files can easily be uploaded onto a computer. You may also want to consider external microphones and headphones.

• Practice with the equipment.

Make sure you feel confident about how to use it.

• Choose a good interview location. Find somewhere

comfortable and private with few distractions or outside noise.

• Make a list of questions to ask. Visit the StoryCorps question generator for a lot of good ideas.

A few recommended questions include: What are some of the most important lessons you have learned in life? What are you most proud of? What was the happiest moment of your life? The saddest? Who has been the biggest influence on your life? What lessons did they teach you? How would you like to be remembered?

• Follow the good stories. Be willing to deviate from the list of questions in order to continue talking about a particularly interesting subject or story.

• Focus the interview. In one interview, a person will not be able to tell the entire story of his or her life, so try to focus the interview. What is the story you really want to preserve?

Is there a subject of particular interest?

• Preserve stories, not just facts. Facts, such as where and when a person was born or got married, may be interesting, but they do not paint a picture. Try to ask questions that will allow the person to tell a story and not just relay facts.

• If the storyteller balks at answering a particular question, don’t press it. Just move on.

• But don’t shy away from asking about tough subjects.

Loss, sickness, struggle — these topics can generate wonderful stories.

• Start the interview with the facts. State your name, the location and date.

• Ask about adding anything else. At the end of the interview, ask the person what he or she would like to add.

• Preserve the interview. Think about how you want to keep the interview and how you can distribute it to family members or other interested parties.

• If you want the interview to be preserved in the Library of Congress, contact StoryCorps to rent a kit.

TIPS FOR INTERVIEWING THOSE WITH MEMORY LOSS • Consider what time of day you want to conduct the interview.

Some people may have times that are typically better or worse as far as recalling information is concerned.

Be cognizant of this when timing the interview.

• Don’t press for information, facts or stories. Ask questions, but be understanding if the person cannot recall the information at that time. Also feel free to help provide a bit of information that may spark the memory.

• Allow for pauses. Sometimes a minute or two may pass while the person tries to recall information.

This is fine. Given enough time, sometimes the brain can make the recall.

• Consider bringing photos or memorabilia to help stir stories or memories.

his cousin still lives in the area.

Lantz has also helped track his wife’s family background, which is Chinese and Hawaiian. He intends to put some of the informa-

tion into short stories and then publish it online in digital PDFs. Lantz suggests people who are interested in learning more about how to research their fam-

ily histories check out the Bend Genealogical Society, of which he is a member. The first Tuesday of each month the group has mentors available to talk with

the school’s DECA organization, a marketing association. Last year she earned fourth place in state and advanced to a national competition for her work on a new employee training proposal for Carl’s Jr. This year she is working on an Internet marketing plan to help college students find transportation. Tania, who sits on the group’s leadership team, thinks the group is fun and likes how involved it is in the community.

“It really teaches you leader-

ship and speaking skills.”

Tania likes to play tennis, and she joined the swim team for the first time this year. Tania also works as a hostess at IHOP restaurant.

For fun, she likes to play video games with her little brothers.

mom, Cristina Diaz, is a prep cook at IHOP and her father is a manager for the Carl’s Jr. restaurants in Bend.

The family moved to Bend about seven years ago. Tania says they moved out of Orange County to find more affordable housing options. In California, most of Tania’s friends were Hispanic or Asian. Here, most of her friends are Caucasian. “Sometimes I miss the cultural diversity of southern California,” said Tania.

Family life Tania is close with her family, which includes her two younger brothers, Richard and Marshall, and a younger sister, Maya. Her

Bend resident Kay Stein, 67, became interested in her family’s history while driving through the Eugene area with her mother. They visited a state park named after one of her greatgreat-grandfathers, Elijah Bristow. The trip inspired her to take a class in genealogy and family history through the University of Washington along with her husband, Vernon Threlkeld. She has become somewhat obsessed with the project. She has always loved history and finds that genealogy research “kind of plugs you into history.” She wrote a story about Bristow and gave it to her grandsons. She hopes to do more similar kinds of activities.

Stein was only able to perform one interview, with her mother’s cousin. She would have liked to have interviewed her mother, but she had dementia and had lost interest in the past. Because of this experience, Stein urges people to talk with their older relatives as soon as possible.

Threlkeld, 72, was able to interview about five or six of his relatives, which he found very helpful. He suggests people prepare questions in advance and then “get out of the way of the answer.” He tape-recorded the interviews and then transcribed them and has used the information in his research.

Threlkeld is also working on compiling memories of his own.

He is writing a series of vignettes about growing up on a farm in Indiana, which he hopes to share with his grandchildren.

Alandra Johnson can be reached at 541-617-7860 or at ajohnson@bendbulletin.com.

She misses some of the cultural celebrations she experienced in California. For instance, all of the families on their block participated in a Posada, an interactive, traditional Mexican Christmas celebration. But she also likes living here for all of the opportunities she has received and friends she’s made.

HELLFIRE!

The Reverend Horton Heat are, from left, Paul Simmons, Jim Heath and Jimbo Wallace.

with the Reverend Horton Heat Psychobilly pioneers visit Bend’s Midtown

By Ben Salmon The Bulletin

R

eligion and pop music have a long, tangled history, stretching from Wayne Cochran’s tragic teen tale “Last Kiss” to the irreverent imagery in Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” video to the deep theological issues hidden between the lines of Willow Smith’s current chart hit, “Whip My Hair.”

Dig deeper into the underground, and you’ll find rock bands that have been mining religious motifs and metaphors for decades, such as Monks, Judas Priest, Jesus and Mary Chain and Smoking Popes.

And then there’s the Great State of Texas’ most esteemed psychobilly missionary, the Reverend Horton Heat, who’ll arrive in Bend on Wednesday for a show at Midtown Ballroom (see “If you go”). The

Rev — secular name: Jim Heath — has fused the worlds of rock and religion for a quarter-century, playing a hell-bent brand of punk, twang, rockabilly and swing with the fervor of a sweaty televangelist who makes the lame walk and the blind see. Except Heath (and his namesake trio) can make even the most detached-cool rockabilly cat shake his pompadour.

The Reverend Horton Heat is one of the most surprising success stories of American underground music in recent years.

The band surfaced in the early 1990s with two excellent albums — 1990’s “Smoke ‘em If You Got ‘em” and 1993’s “The Full Custom Gospel Sounds of …” — released on Subpop Records, at the time the quaking epicenter of grunge. They rose to greater prominence (and major-label help) with 1994’s “Liquor in the Front,” an al-

bum that best encapsulates the trio’s signature blend: Heath’s blazing guitar, bassist Jimbo Wallace’s manic slap-bass lines, and thunderous drumbeats (provided over the years by a “Spinal Tap”-ian parade of timekeepers).

Since, Heath and company have dabbled in swing, surf, Christmas music, big band and whatever else tickles their fancy. They’ve had their songs placed in advertisements and video games. They’ve toured the world at a workaholic’s pace and risen to the point where they can pack a place like Bend’s cavernous Midtown.

On Wednesday, they’ll roll into town on a tour supporting their most recent longplayer, 2009’s “Laughin’ & Cryin’.” It’s a bit of a return to the band’s older sound (as opposed to the heavy punkabilly on 2004’s “Revival”), where good humor was as prevalent as references to liquor, beer, wine and smokes. Here’s how www.reverend hortonheat.com describes it: “A record full

If you go What: Reverend Horton Heat, with Hillstomp When: 8 p.m. Wednesday, doors open 7 p.m.

Where: Midtown Ballroom, 51 N.W. Greenwood Ave., Bend Cost: $20 plus fees in advance, $25 at the door.

Advance ticket outlet info available at the website below.

Contact: www.randompresents.com

of country-heavy tunes about bad habits, well-meaning but clueless husbands, everexpanding beer-guts and, well, Texas.”

Well, of course. The Lone Star State.

After all, the Reverend Horton Heat is, as they say, rock ’n’ roll by birth, Texan by the grace of God. Ben Salmon can be reached at 541-3830377 or bsalmon@bendbulletin.com.

music

Rock ’n’ (holy) rollers Rating some religiously named artists on our Blasphemy Scale!

Jesus and Mary Chain Background: Two Scottish brothers crank up the amps in the mid-1980s and kick-start the shoegaze/noise-pop genre. Influence heard today in fuzzy bands everywhere, such as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Crocodiles.

Major sins: Obscuring their luscious melodies in too much fuzz to be recognized alongside Pixies, the Replacements, Hüsker Dü and Sonic Youth as great underground bands of the 1980s.

BLASPHEMY RATING: 2

The Reverend Al Green

1

Background: Arkansas native spends four decades (so far) bouncing between soul, gospel and R&B, becoming arguably the greatest male singer of the 20th century — and an ordained minister!

Major sins: Very few, although “Let’s Stay Together” has no doubt indirectly spawned more than its fair share of little heathens.

BLASPHEMY RATING: 0 The Associated Press ile photo

The Reverend Horton Heat

Monks

Submitted photo

Background: American GIs stationed in 1960s Germany form a primeval, proto-garage-rock band that was too “weird” to find popularity, but would later become an influential cult favorite.

Major sins: Shaving their heads into “monk” hairdos to cultivate “anti-Beatles” image. Being too awesome and too far ahead of their time.

BLASPHEMY RATING: 3

5

Background: Country, punk, swing, rockabilly and more, packaged up in a style they call “psychobilly.” See Page 3 for more details.

Major sins: From 1994’s “Liquor in the Front, Poker in the Rear”: “Liquor, beer and wine is the flashing sign I see. Every single morning I get up and it’s buzzing down at me. I look up to the heavens for a ray of hope to shine.

And there it is in neon: liquor, beer and wine.”

BLASPHEMY RATING: 5

Madonna Background: Michigan gal sings, dances and shapeshifts her way to becoming the biggest female pop star ever. Now living overseas and speaking with a fake accent.

Major sins: Burning crosses and other religious imagery in “Like a Prayer” video.

All music since 1990.

Introducing “voguing” to popular culture. That “Swept Away” movie. Her stage name.

BLASPHEMY RATING: 7

Judas Priest Background: English band that expanded the heavy-metal universe in the post-Black Sabbath era. Later known for frontman Rob Halford’s predilection for studded leather clothing, now a metal staple.

Major sins: Late-’70s albums “Sin After Sin” and “Hell Bent for Leather.” Accused of subliminal messaging that caused suicide (suit later dropped).

Drew derision from ButtHead of MTV’s “Beavis and Butt-Head” fame.

BLASPHEMY RATING: 9 The Associated Press ile photo

The Associated Press ile photo

Angelcorpse

10

Background: Midwestern black/death metal band active in the 1990s and 2000s. Split up in recent years, leaving behind little on the Internet besides an archived website that commands you to “Click … to enter into this Wellspring of Blasphemy.”

Major sins: Their final album was called “Of Lucifer and Lightning,” and its cover appears to depict the devil eating an upside-down Jesus Christ, plus lots of lightning, fire, and unreadable text. These dudes are serious.

Two chances to see 2nd Hand So ld iers You want an indication that the next seven days are a time when folks stay inside and hang with family? Turn to Page 8 and check out the Area 97 Clubs listing.

It’s that short because most local musicians are taking the week off from gigging.

Which makes 2nd Hand Soldiers even more of an anomaly.

The Bend-based band has not one, but two shows between Christmas and New Year’s.

The 2nd Hand Soldiers sound is a good-times gumbo of funky, groovy reggae jams, fronted by female vocals. The band has been playing around town for a while now, and they seem to be ramping up their performance schedule in the past few months.

They’ll be at the Astro Lounge for a post-Christmas bash on Sunday, and at MadHappy Lounge on Tuesday. Details … now!

Jo sh Hart takes the stage at McMenamins Speaking of gigging, I haven’t yet met Josh Hart, but the guy has become a busy, busy player on the local live-music scene in recent months. Performing both solo and as the Josh Hart Project (which I believe features a rotating cast of friends), Hart has been seen filling Brother Jon’s, Tart Bistro, Bo Restobar and other venues with his music.

According to www.myspace. com/joshhartmusic, Hart is a Bend native who has spent time in Missouri, Colorado and California, picking up bits and pieces of his bluesy, soulful, acousticbased sound along the way.

Blackstrap returns to Silver Moon For nearly a decade, Blackstrap has been a major cog in the local bluegrass scene. The lineup has shifted over and over again (besides constant presence and banjo player Steve Arnold), but the band has always featured fine pickers playing songs that owe more to the traditional bluegrass sound than any sort of jammy hybrid.

These days, Arnold’s band mates include mandolinist David Higginbotham, guitarist Jak Rands and bassist Craig Mavis, a lineup Arnold told The Bulletin “has something really good going” in May. Back then, Blackstrap was celebrating the release of their 2010 album “Tales from the American Roadside,” a set of songs that shows off their penchant for tight, lively bluegrass arrangements and excellent vocal harmonies.

They’ll no doubt play some of the songs from “Tales” when they hit Silver Moon Brewing & Taproom on Thursday evening.

hristmas is a time of wide-eyed wonder and wishes fulfilled, and way back on Jan. 1 of this year, I used Feedback as my own personal wish list for the Central Oregon music scene.

Before I repeat that exercise for 2011 — I’ll do that in next week’s column, so let’s meet up here again in seven days — let’s take a look back at last year’s list and assess how those wishes panned out.

• More concerts, better acts at Les Schwab Amphitheater. Success! The summer lineup that played Bend’s biggest stage was unquestionably stronger and deeper in 2010 than 2009. The

Feedback

BY BEN SALMON sheer number of shows jumped from six a year ago to nine this year, including big draws (Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson), bands that appeal to a younger crowd (Band of Horses, Michael Franti), a couple for the nostalgists (Steve Miller Band, Barenaked Ladies) and some love for the country set (Merle Haggard, Clint Black).

I could quibble with some of the bookings, but that would mostly be a matter of taste. Overall, kudos to the team behind the Schwab shows for a much better season this year.

• A comeback for festivals. Success! After a rough couple years for Central Oregon’s music festivals, 2010 saw the second edition of La Pine’s Jade’s Jazz Festival, the revival of the jam-bandfriendly 4 Peaks Music Festival (after much last-second scrambling to secure a site), and the continued strength of the wonderful Sisters Folk Festival and High & Dry Bluegrass Festival.

music From previous page And, in what should be a big relief to local music fans, the Bend Roots Revival found what appears to be a perfect fit and a forever home at the new Century Center behind the old Brightwood Mill on Century Drive.

Add in a couple of upstarts — the rap- and metal-focused Phuket Phest near La Pine and the West Wind Ranch Americana fest near Sisters — and you have a pretty solid year on the local festival circuit.

• Make use of the stages. Soso success. The wildly up and down world of music venues is always a mixed bag, and 2010 was no different. The big success was Century Center, a large new venue on Bend’s west side that hosted the Bend Roots Revival, Talib Kweli, and a few benefit shows. A more qualified success happened at Boondocks Bar & Grill downtown, where the Last Band Standing competition drew hundreds of people to see live, local music over several weeks. Beyond LBS, though, Boondocks’ viable stage stayed mostly quiet.

Still, it’s better than nothing.

Elsewhere, The Annex remained sorely underused, and the schedule at Players Bar & Grill slowed to a crawl. The Summit Saloon and PoetHouse Art hosted small shows, but not often enough. All four of those venues are great for local and small to mid-sized touring bands, and I wish they’d book more music.

On the other hand, the Tower Theatre was busier (and louder) than ever, thanks to assertive bookings and the new PDXchange Program series. And things are looking up at the former Old Mill Martini Bar, which will host Larry and His Flask on New Year’s Eve and a couple of Seattle’s best hip-hop groups in early January.

• Cancel the cancellations.

Success! In 2009, several decentsized names canceled gigs in Bend at the last minute, a trend that didn’t really continue in 2010.

There was a flurry of advertised gigs that never happened early in the year at Mountain’s Edge, and Portland metal band Red Fang had to bail on a scheduled performance at the Domino Room in October, but that was two days after they crashed their tour van, so we’ll cut ‘em some slack.

• Records and radio. My wish every year is for the continued health of Ranch Records and Bend’s community radio station, KPOV, because I believe a strong music scene needs at least one independent record store and radio outlet. Both entities still exist, so we’ll count that as a success.

Remember to do your part, folks.

Support the things you want in

this town, or they will go away.

• Finish those albums! Last year, I called on nine local artists who I knew were working on albums to wrap ‘em up and get ‘em out, if possible. Tuck and Roll,

Mosley Wotta, Sara Jackson-Holman and Cloaked Characters did just that. As for the rest of those artists, here’s hoping you find the time and money to get those projects done in 2011. I think I speak

for a bunch of people when I say I’d love to hear them.

And with that, I’ll turn my attention to 2011, and what I think needs to happen for the local music scene to continue to grow next

year. Look for that in next week’s GO! Magazine.

music releases

Kanye West MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY Def Jam Recordings It’s sometimes easy to overlook, given that Kanye West can’t seem to go three months without being written off as a jerk, but he has made some of the decade’s most resonant, ambitious pop music.

On his fifth studio album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” he owns his contradictions. What makes him so off-putting — his almost pathological allegiance to expressing his emotions, unfiltered — is also what makes him so compelling.

Because of West’s let-it-blurt bluntness, he is definitely not getting a Christmas card this year from either Taylor Swift or former President George W. Bush.

But that transparency makes “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” a terrific album.

Perhaps only West could turn all the hatred that has been directed at him into “Runaway,” a surreal nine-minute anthem.

Ostensibly sung by a groom to his new bride at a wedding, the song plays as an apology, a warning and a defiant manifesto. The

music mirrors that complexity.

A midtempo funky-drummer beat glides underneath the melancholy, reverberating piano notes, while a deep, mushrooming bass tone threatens to swallow everything.

Brusque cello strokes contrast with elegiac violins, while a dirty guitar wends through the string section like a drunk, splattering mud on the white-tablecloth beauty. It’s a turbulent combination of sounds: brooding and chastened in the verses, oddly triumphant and darkly humorous during the choruses.

Much of the album has that feel, a collision of opulence and emptiness, a meditation on the disconnect between the artist’s intent and the public’s perception.

More than anything, West wants to be understood, but on his terms — a difficult, if not impossible wish given all the baggage he’s accumulated. His desperation and frustration were readily apparent as he stammered around in his recent, supremely awkward interview on NBC’s “Today” show. He was trying to deal with his latest controversy, President George W. Bush’s assertion that West’s racially motivated remarks about Hurricane Katrina were “the lowest point of my presidency.”

But even when West plays a card as hackneyed and unsympathetic as the poor, misunderstood pop star, he does it with nearly unparalleled aplomb and complexity. He does it defiantly, but also with a streak of melancholy and humor, and delivers it with wicked music.

Ke$ha CANNIBAL RCA Records Where Lady Gaga goes, Ke$ha follows — a less glamorous, more amorous, skankier version, but that’s Ke$ha’s shtick.

So here’s “Cannibal,” the companion to January’s chart-topping “Animal” (as Gaga did with “The Fame,” then “The Fame Monster”).

Like its predecessor, “Cannibal’s” got manic sass, unapologetic sleaze, and wildly contagious production/songwriting help from electro-pop’s go-to hitmaker, Dr. Luke. Yet his hyperkinetic rhythms and Auto-Tune sheen — along with Ke$ha’s usual salaciousness — never blan-

kets her chops or progression.

Ke$ha freestyles like a champ and makes herself small on intimate ballads such as the childish but impassioned “C U Next Tuesday” — a quiet tune proving she can sing in stripped-down fashion. While the jittery “Grow a Pear” takes men down a peg or three, her dance anthem “We R Who We R” poignantly discusses the bullying that plagues gay youth.

Ke$ha’s not as grand or eloquent as Gaga. But if Gaga is our generation’s glam-period Bowie, Ke$ha is our KISS — ruder, simpler, but with an occasional point to make.

— A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

emphasized the singer’s classic-rock affection for a sound as smooth as barrel-aged bourbon on languidly pastoral country-blues cuts such as “Purple Sky.”

Rock sneaks in lowdown, dirty riff-rock (“God Bless Saturday”) and keening hillbilly hip-hop (“Care,” with Martina McBride and T.I.). But mostly there’s reverence for home (“Flying High”) and hometown heroes such as Bob Seger, whose rugged AOR inspiration ripples throughout.

Kid even manages to find respect for his own voice as he croons low and sultry on “When It Rains” and angelically high on “For the First Time in a Long Time.” It’s a fine album — four stars for most, three for the Kid. — A.D. Amorosi, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Kid Rock BORN FREE Atlantic Records Reportedly born of conversations between the Kid and uber-producer Rick Rubin, “Born Free” is meant to show off Rock’s lyrical love for his hard-luck hometown, Detroit.

But the album also finds Rock (like Rubin) transitioning away from metal-crunching hip-hop and his usual boyish brand of mussed-up, self-referential cussin’ and sputtering.

They’ve replaced much of Rock’s raucous backing ensemble, Twisted Brown Truckers, with studio vets. They’ve also

Girl Talk Steve Wynn & The Miracle 3 NORTHERN AGGRESSION YepRoc Records Steve Wynn’s amalgam of Lou Reed’s streetwise brashness, Neil Young’s openheartedness and Bob Dylan’s oblique poetry is pretty hard to resist, and who’d want to try?

L.A.’s veteran indie rocker is on a tear in his third outing with the up-for-anything Miracle 3 — guitarist Jason Victor, drummer Linda Pitmon and bassist Dave DeCastro — fusing Wynn’s penchant for Americana rock, psychedelia, brutal punk and extended jams into an intriguingly seductive blend.

“Everybody wants to wonder why,” he muses in “Colored Lights” before dropping the song’s exquisite punch line: “I don’t know why.” Wynn makes you relish wondering with him.

— Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times

ALL DAY Illegal Art Records Greg Gillis, the affable mashup DJ known as Girl Talk, has never wanted for ingenuity. His music liberally swipes hip-hop verses from the past couple of decades and pastes them over some of the most recognizable pop and rock riffs in the English language, creating a playful, irresistible dance party soundtrack.

On “All Day,” his fifth album since 2002, the Pittsburgh artist has perfected the formula. Songs like “That’s Right” don’t just draw from a bewildering variety of sources (Peter Gabriel, Fat Joe, Spacehog, Foxy Brown,

Beyoncé, Miley Cyrus), they also feel oddly inevitable in their re-

casting of familiar sounds in a thrilling, frequently hilarious way.

It’s about more than just spotting the reference — though there’s a lot of that, too, given that the album stitches together samples from nearly 400 songs.

It’s a deft acknowledgment of music’s fluid ownership in the digital age and the increasing ease with which technology allows us to reshape it for our own purposes.

Y E A R - R O U ND Christmas spirit Andy Tullis / The Bulletin

Patrons enjoy the atmosphere at Common Table restaurant in Bend. At the center of the restaurant is an 18-foot black walnut table.

Common Table fashions itself as a community gathering place

By Joh n Gottberg Anderson For The Bulletin

C

ommon Table has brought a new dining concept to Central Oregon. It’s a place where one might believe the Christmas spirit lives year round.

“Our purpose is to feed all people, cherish the Earth and create awareness,” said co-founder and business manager Robert G. “Bob” Pearson.

Opened in September in the downtown Bend space that for many years was home to Cork Restaurant, Common Table is designed as much as a gathering place as it is a place to eat.

“Four years ago,” Pearson recalled, “a group of people got together to ask, ‘How do we become an example of what we want to see in the world — an example of caring and support and openness to everybody? And how do we do that on a sustainable basis?’”

One answer, they decided was in the medium of food.

Everyone must eat.

“We decided to create a broad-based community where the needy person would sit next to the banker, and they would both benefit from the experience,” Pearson ex-

plained. “Everybody sits around the common table and nobody is left out.”

A total renovation Led by Pearson and general manager Zach Hancock, and with support from religious and nonprofit organizations and unaffiliated individuals, an 11-member steering committee took charge of a total renovation of Cork.

When walls were removed, the once-intimate room assumed a completely new look.

Today, the space is dominated by a series of long wooden tables with seating upon chairs, benches and pews.

The table at the heart of the restaurant is a polished sheet of black walnut, 18 feet long. At the center of each table is a colorful autumn squash and sets of silverware wrapped in multi-colored napkins.

Shelves of books and board games surround a small tea alcove and casually separate the restaurant’s bar — a legacy of Cork — from the main dining area. Most of those who work at Common Table are volunteers.

restaurants From previous page Pearson said more than 200 workers have already donated time since the September opening. The individuals who take orders and money at the counter are volunteers, as are those who deliver food to tables and who pick up afterward.

The lunch and dinner fare prepared by chef Bethlynn Rider is organic and health-oriented.

While it may not suit everyone’s fancy, the menu runs the gamut of several global cuisines, notably Mediterranean and Mexican, and might appeal equally to vegetarians, vegans, carnivores and those on gluten-free diets.

“We’re pretty excited about how the community is embracing what we’re trying to do,” Pearson said. “We want to serve wholesome, healthy food as much local as possible. The vegan community is overwhelmed. The glutenfree community is very excited.

My dining companion ordered an eggplant sandwich on house-baked focaccia bread.

Thinly sliced eggplant was grilled with balsamic vinegar and oil, dressed with a black-olive tapanade and served on the bread with roasted red peppers and melted mozzarella cheese. It was presented with a tasty, hamburger-sized black-bean cake, offered with a dollop of roasted red-chili coulis and sour cream.

We shared a tofu stir-fry of fresh seasonal vegetables — broccoli, carrots, red and green bell peppers, zucchini and yellow squash, gently steamed and not overcooked — tossed with sliced fresh ginger, green onions and steamed tofu. The blend was served on a bed of brown rice and topped with a mild Thai peanut sauce.

During two separate visits, I have sampled several Common Table dishes. Not all of them were something that I’d enjoy on a regular basis, but each was unquestionably healthy, tasty and well-prepared.

‘Robots’ in Bend Montana artist brings clay, wood sculptures to gallery “Most of our lives, we spend all this time trying to relate to our world.

It’s kind of a dating process, in a way. You’re born, you try to figure out how other people work.”

— Gabriel Kulka, of Bozeman, Mont.

Pictured are two of sculptor Gabriel Kulka’s “robots,” which are on display now through Feb. 16 at High Desert Gallery of Bend.

The figures are sculpted from clay and wood and have movable limbs.

ixed-media sculptor Gabriel Kulka often works barefoot, serving as his own foot model for the large wood-and-clay “robots” he sculpts in his Montana studio.

You can see the fruits of his shoeless labors in the show “Walk With Me,” on display through Feb. 16 at High Desert Gallery of Bend. In addition to the self-styled robots, Kulka also creates detailed miniature works a la his “Chimney Trapped” series, also part of the show.

The human-like figures stand up to 4 feet tall, with long, movable legs, which make up 70 percent of their bodies.

The heads and torsos are shaped from clay, the limbs from woods such as cherry, pine and walnut. The joints are carefully fitted to allow movement and can be positioned standing, reclining or sitting.

But let’s go back to the name “robots” for a sec. Aren’t robots mechanical?

“On this scale, there are so many things that you want to think about,” Kulka, 36, explained while in Bend for the show’s opening last week at the downtown Bend gallery.

“You want to think about dolls. There are all these compulsions to think about things that I’m not thinking about when I make them.”

In other words, “It’s not so much that I think about them as robots as I want to derail all the other thoughts: I want people to think about them in their own terms, and not in terms of ‘this is a doll,’ ‘this is a marionette.’”

He likes to make the limbs from darker woods. He doesn’t use stain, so “I try to pick wood that’s going to be relevant to the piece, based on what it does,” meaning whether the wood darkens over time.

“Most of our lives, we spend all this time trying to relate to our world. It’s kind of a dating process, in a way. You’re born, you try to figure out how other people work,” he said.

Whatever you call them, the robot figures speak to Kulka’s interest in what he calls the dichotomy of awkwardness and elegance.

The self-deprecating tone of the artist speaks to this as well.

When he tells you he hails from Long Island, N.Y., the 36-yearold adds, “way out there on the end. Don’t be fooled. I’m not very city much.” He pauses a beat, then adds, “‘Not very city much.’

Such eloquence.”

Eloquence comes through in his artwork, which, by his own estimate, is the thing he’s best at in life. “Not that I’m so great with that, but I’m death with everything else,” he said. “It’s the only

thing I’m marginally competent with.”

When not found in his studio, Kulka works as a house painter.

“I have a really good relationship with the person I’m working with, and it just so happens that he never has to lay me off, because right around the time I have shows, he always runs dry on work. We’ve just gotten really lucky. He’s also flexible; he knows that this is more important to me.”

Kulka studied at The Academy of Arts in San Francisco, where he lived from 1993 to 2002. He went back to New York for five years, thinking he could work there, but studio space was too difficult to come by. “I gave up after about five years, and that’s when I moved out to Montana,” said Kulka, who lives in Bozeman.

Once he again had access to a studio, he began creating prolifically.

“It was a big breakthrough to move out there,” he said. “In the first three months, I made like 60 pieces. It was crazy. It was just being back in a studio space

A6 raffle to benefit art education program Artists Ron Schultz, Pat Clark and Dawn Emerson have donated large-scale artwork for a benefit raffle to raise funds for Atelier 6000’s educational art program.

Schultz’s attention to detail and line in his 33-by-47-inch woodcut “Red Tail-Black Sun” is notable considering the dimension of his piece. Clark and Emerson have collaborated on a 40-by-44-inch innovative mixedmedia collograph titled “Orb.” Buy a chance to win an original print for the cost of $3 per ticket, or four for $10. The artwork will be on display through Jan. 21. The drawing will take place at the Kick up your Heels and Ring your Spurs Party, celebrating completion of the book project “Vaquero Buckaroo,” from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Jan. 21.

The party is free and open to the public.

Visit Atelier 6000, 389 S.W. Scalehouse Court, Suite 120, in the Old Mill District in Bend.

His love of Oregon, the U.S. Constitution and American literature are depicted in the portrait, according to Cranor, who attended his retirement celebration and unveiling Dec. 17 in Salem. Governor Ted Kulongoski, as well as other Supreme Court and Oregon state officials and attorneys, also attended, thanking Justice Gillette for his 33 years of judicial service, 24 of them spent on the Oregon Supreme Court.

and just having so many things in my head that hadn’t gotten out.”

Some of the pieces he made at the time concerned memory, including “Remembories,” an older casting of a head with a cutout view in the skull, a ball of twine nestled inside representing memory.

“I like the string piece a lot,” Kulka said. “If I find a form I want to try a lot of things with, I’ll take a casting of it, so I can either work on it in bronze over and over again, or do a casting, where I can make subtle changes to each piece.”

“I think a lot of people edit very heartily. They think there’s only one solution for every project, but it’s not that there’s one solution, you just have all these different ideas, and you pick one along the way. I don’t like picking. I feel like every piece has five or six ideas in it; they

Case in point: the robots, of which he said, “Who knows

where it’s going to quit? … I’ve still got like seven different things I want to try out.”

Kulka’s pace has slowed down since his initial arrival in Montana, he said. “Now, I’m on kind of a normal production cycle. I try to make five to 10 pieces a month, which is a little bit more civilized.”

He completed a few of the pieces in “Walk With Me” mere days before exhibiting them in Bend, his first show in Oregon.

Kulka is just the second artist to participate in High Desert Gallery’s recently added guest artist program. The gallery is focused on Central Oregon, said Todd Dow, marketing and operations manager, but the new program widens its scope a little farther around the Northwest.

Aurora, the Eurasian eagle owl, soars near the ceiling at the High Desert Museum.

‘Owl Legends’ shows are back at the High Desert Museum

T

he High Desert Museum’s “Owl Legends” shows return this week.

At the shows, visitors can see the largest species of owl in the world, the Eurasian eagle owl. Other owls will be part of the show as well, including the barn owl and the tiny screech owl.

Audiences can learn how hawks and owls interact and watch the museum’s Harris hawk fly.

Though the shows take place in a heated tent, it still gets a little chilly, so bundle up. Spectators must be on time — no one can enter once the owls are out. The show may not be appropriate for children ages 4 and younger; kids must stay seated and quiet.

The “Owl Legends” shows take place at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Sunday through Thursday. Tickets cost $7, or $5 for museum members, plus admission, and are available at the door or online. The High Desert Museum is located at 59800 S. U.S. Highway 97, Bend.

Renaissance

woman

Joan Rivers brings her comedy style to Portland

By Jenny Harada The Bulletin

A

t the age of 77, Joan Rivers is still a force to reckon with.

A true Renaissance woman, Rivers has built an illustrious career as comedienne, actress, author, talk show host, playwright, screenwriter, film director, columnist, lecturer, syndicated radio host, jewelry designer, cosmetic company entrepreneur, red carpet fashion guru and businesswoman.

Rivers will bring her “cutting edge comedy” to the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland on Jan. 8.

After seven years on the comedy circuit, Rivers gained national acclaim with her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” in 1968. According to her official biography, she also “made television history as the first sole guest host of ‘The Tonight Show.’”

Even with four decades in the entertainment industry, Rivers hasn’t slowed down. In the past two years, she was the finalist of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” released two best-selling books (“Men Are Stupid and They Like Big Boobs: A Woman’s Guide to Beauty Through Plastic Surgery” and “Murder at the Academy Awards: A Red Carpet Murder Mystery”) and starred in the documentary “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work.”

According to film critic Roger Ebert, “The way she [Rivers] is funny is, she tells the truth according to herself. She hates some people. She has political opinions. Her observations are so merciless and her timing so precise that even if you like that person, you laugh. She is a sadist of comedy, unafraid to be cruel — even too cruel. She doesn’t know fear. She seems to be curious about how far she can go and still get a laugh.”

The performance starts at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 8. The Oregon Symphony will open, conducted by Gerald Steichen. The program features Jule Styne’s “Overture to Gypsy” and music from Mel Brooks’ “The Producers.”

Ticket prices range from $23 to $123, depending on seat location. To purchase tickets, visit www.orsymphony .org or contact 800-228-7343.

For more information on Joan Rivers, visit www.joanrivers.com.

Jenny Harada can be reached at 541383-0350 or jharada@bendbulletin.com.

Joan Rivers will perform Jan. 8 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland.

Mini review

“Marvel Pinball” includes a number of new superhero pinball tables that should satisfy even the most skeptical pinball fans.

‘SONIC COLORS’

Pinball returns in a ‘super’ fashion

Nintendo DS ($29.99) and Wii ($49.99) Age rating: Everyone Sega strips Sonic back down to basics for “Sonic Colors” — no werehog tranformations or other such gimmicks, just side-scrolling speed runs through large levels, like in the old days.

Not that there’s nothing new.

While checking out Dr. Eggman’s space-station amusement park, Sonic discovers the ol’ evildoer is powering his park with Wisps, intelligent little aliens.

When Sonic frees one it grants him a burst of energy for even more speed than usual, and when he picks up Wisps of certain colors he gains a one-shot special ability, like a vertical rocket boost.

The game moves so fast and the levels are packed with so many obstacles, bumpers and barriers that it’s easy to feel as if Sonic’s out of control, but with care players can guide him along the routes they prefer.

ideo pinball has never been my thing; I miss the pop of the flippers and the reality of that little silver ball bouncing haphazardly off the bumpers. That changed with Zen’s efforts to bring the experience back to its roots. While Zen may not be able to transform my game room into an arcade parlor, they’ve finally managed to nail what makes pinball so much fun.

The development team has made the most of the Marvel license and crafted a number of awesome new pinball tables that should satisfy even the most skeptical pinball fans.

Spider-Man, Iron Man, Blade

and Wolverine each have a dedicated pinball table, and every one of the four could absorb a player for endless hours of discovery and score improvement. Each table bows to the style of the character. Spider-Man, my personal favorite of the four, is filled with soaring ramps and amusing voiceovers. Wolverine has the ability to rage and turn nearly every shot on the board into a high score jackpot. Iron Man transforms from Tony Stark into his armored alter ego for the most dangerous missions.

Blade features a day/night cycle that completely changes the feel of play. No matter the table, each hero is matched up against three or four of their greatest nemeses, from the Green Goblin to Whip-

‘MARVEL PINBALL’ 8.5 (out of 10) PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Zen Studios ESRB rating: E for Everyone lash. These unique missions are fun to trigger and easy to understand, though it would have been nice if the tables had their own gimmicks rather than all of them being tied to supervillain fights.

I also don’t always like when onscreen events occur that wouldn’t be possible on a real table, like the Goblin’s exploding pumpkin multi-ball. The game is at its best when the illusion of true pinball is maintained.

Without exception, the four tables are excellently designed, and fantastic ball physics make

the game worth repeated play. A metagame ties the tables together; your combined score across all tables shows the definitive leaderboard king among your friends.

Pack in some highly detailed options for customizing your game experience, from table tilt alterations to camera view, and there’s a lot to love. Given this stellar effort, I can’t wait to see how Zen’s pinball collection continues to expand.

Though the two consoles have identical tables, the play experience is quite different on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. On Sony’s platform, “Marvel Pinball” is a standalone game. On Xbox 360, the four Marvel tables fit comfortably as an expansion into the expanding array of pinball tables available in “Pinball FX2.” Since part of the fun comes from building up scores and competition across all your tables, it’s hard not to recommend the 360 option.

Jeff Bridges, left, and Hailee Steinfeld star in the remake of the John Wayne classic “True Grit.”

This is a true Western Actors give ‘True Grit’ remake its own originality and character

I

n the Coen brothers’ “True Grit,” Jeff Bridges is not playing the John Wayne role. He’s playing the Jeff Bridges role — or, more properly, the role created in the enduring novel by Charles Portis, much of whose original dialogue can be heard in this film. Bridges doesn’t have the archetypal stature of the Duke.

Few ever have. But he has here, I believe, an equal screen presence. We always knew we were looking at John Wayne. When we

see Rooster Cogburn in this version, we’re not thinking about Jeff Bridges.

Wayne wanted his tombstone to read, “Feo, Fuerte y Formal” (“ugly, strong and dignified”).

He was a handsome, weathered man when I met him in the 1960s and 1970s, but not above a certain understandable vanity. Rooster might be an ornery gunslinger with an eye patch, but Wayne played him wearing a hairpiece and a corset. Jeff

ROGER EBERT

“True Grit” 110 minutes PG-13, for some intense sequences of Western violence including disturbing images Bridges occupies the character like a homeless squatter. I found

myself wondering how young Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) could endure his body odor.

Bridges’ interpretation is no doubt closer to the reality of a lawman in those years of the West. How savory can a man be when he lives in saloons and on horseback? Not all riders on the range carried a change of clothes. Of course, he’s a lawman with an office and a room somewhere in town, but for much of the movie he is on a quest through inauspicious territory to find the man who murdered Mattie’s father.

As told in the novel, Mattie is a plucky young woman with a gaze as level as her hat

brim. She hires Marshal Cogburn to track down that villain Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). She means to kill him for what he done. If Bridges comfortably wears the Duke’s shoes, Hailee Steinfeld is more effective than Kim Darby in the earlier film, and she was pretty darn good.

Steinfeld was 13 when she made the film, close to the right age.

Darby was a little over 20. The story hinges on the steel resolve of a young girl who has been raised in the eye-for-an-eye Old West, seen some bad sights, and picked up her values from the kind of old man who can go and get hisself shot.

‘Travels’ is a pure joy — for the kids I

want to tread carefully here, and not because I might step on a Lilliputian and squish him. I want to explain who “Gulliver’s Travels” is for, and who it might not be for. One person it is definitely for is Gloria DeMent, the 84-year-old grandmother who wrote AP film critic Christy Lemire in horror after spending $96 to take four generations of her family to see “The Nutcracker in 3-D.” She wrote: “It broke my heart when we left the theatre that my little greatgranddaughters (5-13) had sad little, confused faces.” Believe me, Auntie Glo, there would have been smiles on those faces after this movie.

On the other hand, this is not really a movie for Jack Black fans — not of the Jack Black of “School of Rock,” for sure.

They’re used to seeing Jack with his shirt off, but to see their bad boy getting tiny cannon balls embedded in his belly may not be what they have in mind, not even when he sticks out his gut and the cannon balls pop out again and demolish an enemy armada.

He is standing up to his waist in the ocean at the time. No, not near the shore. Way out where a big enemy navy has massed its

From previous page What strikes me is that I’m describing the story and the film as if it were simply, if admirably, a good Western. That’s a surprise to me because this is a film by the Coen brothers, and this is the first straight genre exercise in their career. It’s a loving one. Their craftsmanship is a wonder. Their casting is always inspired and exact. The cinematography by Roger Deakins reminds us of the glory that was, and can still be, the Western.

But this isn’t a Coen brothers film in the sense that we use those words. It’s not eccentric, quirky, wry or flaky. It’s as if these two men, who have devised some of

Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) is transported to the land of Lilliput in “Gulliver’s Travels.”

warships. Not only is Gulliver a giant in the land of Lilliput, but the sea surrounding their land is apparently Lilliputian as well — about 3 feet deep, I’d guess, judging by Jack Black’s not towering stature.

As the film opens, Black is celebrating his 10th year in the mail room of a New York newspaper. He has a crush on Darcy the travel editor (Amanda Peet), who is a good sport and gives him an assignment to write a piece from Bermuda. Jack falls asleep on board his speedboat and enters the Bermuda Triangle, which, come to think of it, of course is where Lilliput must be.

In the land of these 6-inch peo-

ple, he awakens to find himself tied down with ropes staked to the ground, which is also what happened in Jonathan Swift’s classic, but boy, would Swift ever not recognize the rest of this story.

Jack, or Lemuel Gulliver, soon finds himself not a captive but more like a hero, god, adviser and warrior for the Lilliputians, whose society resembles an Arthurian, not a Swiftian, fantasy.

On an island centered on a seaside castle, they wear the costumes and play the roles of medieval romantic swashbucklery.

And they talk the talk. To paraphrase one Lilliputian, “Whyeth musteth we always speaketh with all these ETHS?” The kingdom centers on the beloved and beautiful Princess Mary (Emily Blunt), and the rivals for her affection: King Theodore (Billy Connolly) and Gen. Edward (Chris O’Dowd). Lemuel is able to participate in these

intrigues by peering over ramparts or taking a seat on battlements. He is about 12 times as tall as they are. I wonder how he can so easily hear their little voices; if he said, “Speak up!” they’d be blown away. No matter. Darcy, of course, turns up in search of Lemuel, battles are waged, tables are turned, romances blossom, and so on.

It just occurred to me that you may be imagining this is an animated film, and that Jack Black is voicing Lemuel Gulliver. Not at all. This is live action, and despite the 3-D, it’s sorta oldfashioned, not that that’s a bad thing. The problem is to contain Lemuel and the Lilliputians in the same frame when he towers over them. Makes for (1) long shots, or (2) shots of Black’s enormous face peering at the little folks from over the edge of something. As he stood on the beach with the little fellas, I was immediately reminded of the

genie in Michael Powell’s masterpiece “The Thief of Bagdad” (1939).

I wouldn’t describe the special effects as seamless. Far from it.

But that brings us back around to our grandmother, Gloria DeMent. Do you think her greatgrandchildren are going to be sitting there saying, “You can see that’s done with green screen”? I don’t think so. They’re gonna be saying, “Thanks, Grandma Glo! This is ever so much better than that scary Nutcracker movie!

There isn’t a single Holocaust anywhere in it!”

(Well, in all fairness, the entire Earth is ripped to pieces in a brilliant cartoon that plays before the feature. “Scrat’s Continental Crack-Up” stars the manic creature from the first “Ice Age,” who would destroy the globe to save a nut.)

the most original films of our time, reached a point where they decided to coast on the sheer pleasure of good old straightforward artistry. This is like Iggy Pop singing “My Funny Valentine,” which he does very well. So let me praise it for what it is, a splendid Western. The Coens having demonstrated their mastery of many notes, including many not heard before, now show they can play in tune.

The star of this show is Hailee Steinfeld, and that’s appropriate.

This is her story, set in motion by her, narrated by her. This is Steinfeld’s first considerable role. She nails it. She sidesteps the opportunity to make Mattie adorable.

Mattie doesn’t live in an adorable world. Seeing the first “True Grit,” I got a little crush on Kim Darby.

Seeing this one, few people would get a crush on Hailee Steinfeld.

Maybe in another movie. But the way she plays it with the Coens, she’s more the kind of person you’d want guarding your back.

Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper have weight and resonance in supporting roles. Damon is LaBoeuf, the Texas Ranger who comes along for a time to track Tom Chaney. Glen Campbell had the role earlier, and was right for the tone of that film. Damon plays on a more ominous note.

As Tom Chaney, Josh Brolin is a complete and unadulterated

villain, a rattlesnake who would as soon shoot Mattie as Rooster.

In the Western genre, evil can be less nuanced than in your modern movies with all their psychological insights. Barry Pepper plays Lucky Ned Pepper, leader of a gang Chaney ends up with and part of the four-man charge across the meadow into Rooster’s gunfire, a charge as lucky for them as the Charge of the Light Brigade.

I expect Bridges and Steinfeld have good chances of winning Oscar nominations for this film.

Steinfeld is good the whole way through, but the scene audiences love is the one where she bargains with a horse trader (Dakin Mat-

thews) for the money she feels is owed her. Here the key is the dialogue by the Coen brothers, which never strains, indeed remains flat and commonsense, as Mattie reasons the thief out of his money by seeming to employ his own logic.

I’m surprised the Coens made this film, so unlike their other work except in quality. Instead of saying that now I hope they get back to making “Coen brothers films,” I’m inclined to speculate on what other genres they might approach in this spirit. What about the musical? “Oklahoma!” is ready to be remade.

‘Little Fockers’ is probably a little overdone ROGER ‘L MOORE

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Colin Firth, left, portrays King George VI with Helena Bonham Carter as his wife, Queen Elizabeth I, in “The King’s Speech.”

‘King’s Speech’ is historically personal ‘T

he King’s Speech” tells the story of a man compelled to speak to the world with a stammer. It must be painful enough for one who stammers to speak to one other person. To face a radio microphone and know the British Empire is listening must be terrifying. At the time of the speech mentioned in the title, a quarter of the Earth’s population was in the empire, and of course much of North America, Europe, Africa and Asia would be listening — and with particular attention, Germany.

The king was George VI. The year was 1939. Britain was entering into war with Germany.

His listeners required firmness, clarity and resolve, not stammers punctuated with tortured silences.

This was a man who never wanted to be king. After the death of his father, the throne was to pass to his brother Edward. But Edward renounced the throne “in order to marry the woman I love,” and the duty fell to Prince Albert, who had struggled with his speech from an early age.

In “The King’s Speech,” director Tom Hooper opens on Albert (Colin Firth) attempting to open the British Empire Exhibition

ROGER EBERT

“The King’s Speech” 118 minutes R, for some language in 1925. Before a crowded arena and a radio audience, he seizes up in agony in efforts to make the words come right. His father, George V (Michael Gambon), has always considered “Bertie” superior to Edward (Guy Pearce), but mourns the introduction of radio and newsreels, which require a monarch to be seen and heard on public occasions.

At that 1925 speech, we see Albert’s wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), her face filled with sympathy. As it becomes clear that Edward’s obsession with Wallis Simpson (Eve Best) is incurable, she realizes her Bertie may face more public humiliation.

He sees various speech therapists,

one of whom tries the old marblesin-the-mouth routine first recommended by Demosthenes. Nothing works, and then she seeks out a failed Australian actor named Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), who has set up a speech therapy practice.

Logue doesn’t realize at first who is consulting him. And one of the subjects of the film is Logue’s attitude toward royalty, which I suspect is not untypical of Australians; he suggests to Albert that they get on a first-name basis. Albert has been raised within the bell jar of the monarchy and objects to such treatment, not because he has an elevated opinion of himself, but because, well, it just isn’t done. But Logue realizes that if he is to become the king’s therapist, he must first become his friend.

If the British monarchy is good for nothing else, it’s superb at producing the subjects of films.

“The King’s Speech,” rich in period detail and meticulous class distinctions, largely sidesteps the story that loomed over this whole period, Edward’s startling decision to give up the crown in order to marry a woman who was already divorced three times.

movies From previous page Indeed the Duke and Duchess of Windsor (as they became) would occupy an inexplicable volume of attention for years, considering they had no significance after the duke’s abdication. The unsavory thing is that Wallis Simpson considered herself worthy of such a sacrifice from the man she allegedly loved. This film finds a more interesting story about better people; Americans, who aren’t always expert on British royalty, may not necessarily realize that Albert and his wife, Elizabeth, were the parents of Queen Elizabeth II. God knows what Edward might have fathered.

Hooper makes an interesting decision with his sets and visuals.

The movie is largely shot in interiors, and most of those spaces are long and narrow. That’s unusual in historical dramas, which emphasize sweep and majesty and so on. Here we have long corridors, a deep and narrow master control room for the BBC, rooms that seem peculiarly oblong. I suspect he may be evoking the narrow, constricting walls of Albert’s throat as he struggles to get words out.

The film largely involves the actors Colin Firth, formal and decent, and Geoffrey Rush, large and expansive, in psychological struggle. Helena Bonham Carter, who can be merciless (as in the Potter films), is here filled with mercy, tact and love for her husband; this is the woman who became the much-loved Queen Mother of our lifetimes, dying in 2002 at 101. As the men have a struggle of wills, she tries to smooth things (and raise her girls, Elizabeth and Margaret).

And in the wider sphere, Hitler takes power, war comes closer, Mrs. Simpson wreaks havoc, and the dreaded day approaches when Bertie, as George VI, will have to speak to the world and declare war.

Hooper’s handling of that fraught scene is masterful. Firth internalizes his tension and keeps the required stiff upper lip, but his staff and household are terrified on his behalf as he marches toward a microphone as if it is a guillotine. It is the one scene in the film that MUST work, and it does, and its emotional impact is surprisingly strong. At the end, what we have here is a superior historical drama and a powerful personal one. And two opposites who remain friends for the rest of their lives.

(The R rating refers to Logue’s use of vulgarity. It is utterly inexplicable. This is an excellent film for teenagers.)

WHAT’S NEW “Gulliver’s Travels” — Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style.

Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput — where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Emily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Connolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. Rating: Three stars. 85 minutes. (PG)

Civilized and fascinating, this is the story of their unlikely relationship. (The R rating, for language, is absurd; this is an ideal film for teenagers.) Rating: Four stars. 118 minutes. (R)

a bravura performance as a driven perfectionist, a young ballerina up for a starring role at Lincoln Center.

Her life is shadowed by a smothering mother (Barbara Hershey), an autocratic director (Vincent Cassel), a venomous rival (Mila Kunis) and her deposed predecessor (Winona Ryder). A full-bore melodrama, told with passionate intensity, gloriously and darkly absurd. Directed by Darren Aronofsky. Rating: Three and a half stars. 108 minutes. (R)

movies From previous page “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” — Edmund, Lucy and their nuisance of a cousin Eustace are drawn into a seafaring painting on the wall and find themselves on board the Dawn Treader and involved in a quest to save Narnia. Their challenge, finding the missing magical swords of the Lords of Telmar, involves a risky sea voyage that finally leads to the ominous Dark Island. The arbitrary plot is just one damn thing after another, but there are thrilling sequences involving a sea monster and a flying dragon, and it’s jolly fun for younger viewers. Rating: Three stars. 115 minutes. (PG) “The Fighter” — Colorful supporting performances help, but a vaguely defined lead diminishes the power you’d expect in this story based on a real fighter. Mark Wahlberg plays Micky Ward, Christian Bale is his goofy crackhead half-brother, Melissa Leo is his possessive mom, and Amy Adams is the barmaid who knows he’ll never get anywhere until he frees himself of his family. The hero comes across as such a victim

Courtesy Disney

Flynn (voiced by Zachary Levi) gets into trouble when he meets Rapunzel (voiced by Mandy Moore) in “Tangled.” of lifelong domination that even when he wins, he feels like a loser. Directed

by David O. Russell. Rating: Two and a half stars. 115 minutes. (R)

“The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” — Lisbeth Salander spends the first half of the film recovering from what happened at the end of the

previous one. That’s all right, because a wounded silence is her medium.

Now members of the “Section” want to silence her once and for all, and her demented blond giant half-brother is after her, and Mikael is fighting to defend her against insanity charges, and this uptight, ferocious little gamin Lisbeth has won our hearts.

Rating: Three stars. 148 minutes. (R) “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” — Harry, Hermione and Ron have grown up and the horrors they met at Hogwarts are but nostalgic memories. They are cast out now into the vastness of the world, on their own, and Voldemort and his Death Eaters draw ever closer.

Also drawing near is an equally unsettling phenomenon, sexual maturity. A handsome and sometimes harrowing film that will be completely unintelligible for anyone coming to the series for the first time. Rating: Three stars. 146 minutes. (PG-13) “How Do You Know” — Reese Witherspoon plays a softball player who finds herself simultaneously without a team and with two men in her life. Owen Wilson is a millionaire pro pitcher, and Paul Rudd is a wheeler-dealer who faces prison because of misdealings by the firm of his father (Jack Nicholson). A promising mix by writer-director James L. Brooks, who guided Nicholson to Oscars in “Terms of Endearment” and “As Good as It Gets,” but he gives Jack a puzzling heavy role, and strands his good cast in a run-of-the-mill romcom. Rating: Two stars. 116 minutes. (PG-13) “Megamind” — Bright and amusing 3-D animation as two aliens (voiced

by Will Ferrell and Brad Pitt) battle for control of Metro City. Tina Fey voices a local TV reporter, David Cross is a piranha-like sidekick for Megamind, and Jonah Hill is a put-upon TV cameraman who finds himself transformed into a third super being. The 3-D isn’t really necessary, but is well-handled.

Rating: Three stars. 95 minutes. (PG) “The Next Three Days” — Russell Crowe stars as an English teacher whose wife (Elizabeth Banks) is charged and convicted for murder.

Despite compelling evidence for her guilt, he believes she couldn’t have

done it. As appeals fail, he determines to break her out of jail, and in the process his character must somehow transform into a man capable of taking such action. Not a bad movie if you want a competent thriller. Not the level of achievement we expect from Crowe and writer-director Paul Haggis (“Crash”). Rating: Two and a half stars. 133 minutes. (PG-13) “RED” — Bruce Willis is a retired CIA assassin, but now is a target.

So he reassembles his old team: Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren and Brian Cox. And a telephone operator played by Mary-Louise Parker. Comic thriller, neither good nor bad, featuring actors we like doing things we wish were more interesting. Rating: Two stars. 110 minutes. (PG-13) “Secretariat” — A great film about greatness, the story of the horse and the no less brave woman who had faith in him. Diane Lane stars as Penny Chenery, who fell in love with Secretariat when he was born, and battled the all-male racing fraternity and her own family to back her faith in the champion. A lovingly crafted film, knowledgeable about racing, with great uplift. One of the year’s best.

Rating: Four stars. 122 minutes. (PG) “The Social Network” — The life and times of Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), who created Facebook, became a billionaire in his early 20s, and now has 500 million members on the site he created. A fascinating portrait of a brilliant social misfit who intuited a way to involve humankind in the Kevin Bacon game. Everybody likes Facebook — it’s the site that’s all about YOU. With Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, the Napster founder who introduced Zuckerberg to the Silicon Valley fast lane, Andrew Garfield as the best friend who gets dumped, and Armie Hammer as the Winklevoss twins, who sued Zuckerberg for stealing their idea.

One of the year’s best films. Rating: Four stars. 120 minutes. (PG-13) “Tamara Drewe” — A mischievous British comedy, set in a rural writer’s retreat where egos and libidos are in contention. When a once-homely local girl returns home with newfound fame and an improved nose, all the men perk up with unfortunate results.

With Gemma Arterton, Roger Allam, Dominic Cooper, Luke Evans and Tamsin Greig. Directed by Stephen Frears. Delightful. Rating: Three and a half stars. 110 minutes. (R) “Tangled” — Rapunzel, the girl locked in a tower with only her long, golden locks for company, gets a sassy, spirited screen treatment from Disney with “Tangled,” an animated fairy-tale musical from the Not Pixar corner of the company. Like most of Disney’s in-house cartoons, “Tangled” suffers most when compared to the best of Pixar. Animated musicals are only as good as their songs, and this one isn’t on a par with “Beauty and the Beast” or even “The Princess and the Frog.” But the laughs make the tunes pass by quickly, the emotional moments pay off and this version of Rapunzel lets down its hair just enough to deserve a place of honor.

Rating: Three stars. 93 minutes. (PG)

movies From previous page “The Tourist” — A romantic comedy crossed with a crime thriller, shot in Paris and Venice, involving a glamorous mystery woman (Angelina Jolie) and a math teacher (Johnny Depp) from Wisconsin. Preposterous, of course, but it could have worked as a farce, with witty flirtation and droll Cary Grantian understatement.

Jolie rises to the occasion, but Depp plays the math teacher as a man waiting for the school bell to ring so he can go bowling. Rating: Two stars. 104 minutes. (PG-13) “Tron: Legacy” — Twenty years after he leaves his son at bedtime and steps out for a spin on his motorcycle, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) summons him mysteriously to a portal into the software program he invented — and now inhabits.

Young Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund)

is needed to help his dad and the beautiful Quorra (Olivia Wilde) to ward off an evil cabal that wants to conquer the Internet and/or the world. The plot is impenetrable, but Jeff Bridges is solid in three roles (younger, older and digital), and the visuals are a sensational soundand-light show, cutting-edge in the tradition of the 1982 film. Rating: Three stars. 125 minutes. (PG-13) “Unstoppable” — A runaway train hurtles at 70 mph, and the movie is as relentless as the train. Denzel Washington and Chris Pine try to stop it, and Rosario Dawson is the hard-driving dispatcher.

In terms of sheer craftsmanship, this is a superb film. Directed by Tony Scott. Rating: Three and a half stars. 98 minutes. (PG-13) “Yogi Bear” — Yogi always was “smarter than the average bear.”

The Associated Press

Michael Douglas, left, returns to his role as Gordon Gekko and Shia LaBeouf stars as Jake Moore in the sequel “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.”

NEW DVD & B L U - R AY RELEASES The following movies were released Dec. 21.

“Easy A” — Funny, star-making role for Emma Stone, as a high school girl nobody notices until she’s too embarrassed to admit she spent the weekend home alone and claims she had sex with a college boy. When word gets around, she uses her undeserved notoriety to play the role to the hilt, even wearing a Scarlet Letter. And she’s able to boost the reps of some of her pals by making up reports of their prowess. Sounds crass. Isn’t. DVD Extras: Audition footage, audio commentary and gag reel; Blu-ray Extras: Three additional featurettes, pop-up trivia track and movieIQ+sync. Rating: Three and a half stars. 93 minutes. (PG-13) “Salt” — A damn fine thriller. It does all the things I can’t stand in bad movies, and does them in a good one. Angelina Jolie stars as a CIA agent fighting single-handedly to save the world from nuclear destruction. Hardly a second is believable, but so what? Superbly crafted, it’s a splendid example of

a genre action picture. Directed

by Phillip Noyce. DVD Extras: Two featurettes, a radio interview and audio commentary; Blu-ray Extras: Four additional featurettes and spy cam: picture-in-picture. Rating: Four stars. 100 minutes. (PG-13) “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” — Gordon Gekko is back, and he may still be a little greedy, in Oliver Stone’s sequel to his 1987 hit.

Michael Douglas reprises his iconic role, and Shia LaBeouf is the hungry young trader who wants to marry his daughter (Carey Mulligan). Josh Brolin is a Wall Street predator who spreads rumors that destroy the firm of LaBeouf’s mentor (Frank Langella). Entertaining story about ambition, romance and predatory trading practices, but it seems more fascinated than angry. Have we grown used to greed? DVD Extras: Featurette and audio commentary; Blu-ray Extras: Additional featurette and deleted/extended scenes. Rating: Three stars. 130 minutes. (R) ALSO OUT THIS WEEK: “Devil.”

COMING UP: Movies scheduled for national release Dec. 28 include “The American” and “Resident Evil: Afterlife.” Check with local video stores for availability.

— Roger Ebert, The Chicago SunTimes (“DVD and Blu-ray Extras” from wire and online sources)

But parents and grandparents dragging tykes along to the 3-D big screen “Yogi Bear” will probably remember him as funnier than the average bear, too. Or funnier than this. A computer-animated

Yogi (voiced by Dan Aykroyd) and Boo Boo (voiced by Justin Timberlake) inhabit a real-world Jellystone Park, with the unfunny Tom Cavanagh as Ranger Smith and nothing-funny-to-play Anna

Faris as the ranger’s love interest.

Rating: One star. 75 minutes. (PG)
