‘A Story of Three Bridges’

SALEM — The 90 men and women elected to the 2011 Legislature begin this week tackling an ambitious reform agenda and IN THE historic budget crisis, all in an abLEGISLATURE breviated five-month schedule.

The group convened in January for three days to organize and get the ceremonial tasks out of the way. But the real work begins Tuesday, when lawmakers take up a lengthy to-do list.

So what can Oregonians expect from Salem? Will a House of Representatives evenly split between Republicans and Democrats make things run smoothly — or spell gridlock? About the only prediction people are making about this session is that it won’t be easy.

“We have a very difficult task,” said Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem. He cited “incredible deadlines” that were adopted to deal with Oregon’s first annual session, limited to 160 days by last year’s voter-approved Measure 71.

Calling Salem “the ultimate cauldron” for the unexpected, Courtney added, “there’s probably going to be some surprises in budget and policy.”

But history does provide clues about the effect of a perfectly balanced House.

Almost 14 years ago, the Oregon Department of Transportation started taking bids for a new bridge over the Crooked River canyon north of Redmond.

When construction started in late 1997, Chuck Hutchings was there filming. And when construction was completed and the bridge was opened to the public in September 2000, he was there again.

The construction of what is now known as the Rex T. Barber Veterans Memorial Bridge is the subject of a 30-minute documentary, “A Story of Three Bridges,” which will show on Oregon Public Broadcasting in March.

Hutchings, a Spanish instructor at Central Oregon Community College, is the man behind the camera. In the late 1990s, he enlisted the help of Ward Tonsfeldt, then an English professor at COCC and local historian who served on the bridge design committee.

Hutchings began the project while taking summer instructional technology classes at Utah State University with an eye toward using more technology in his Spanish classes. One of those classes, on videography, required a video project.

Coming from a family of contractors, Hutchings had an interest in construction and decided to make his video about the new highway bridge construction getting under way.

“I’ve seen a lot of big buildings go up,” Hutchings said. “But this project is definitely one that people talked about a lot.”

So Hutchings knew people would be interested, he said, in “things they couldn’t see when they were driving by.”

The year the second bridge is finished; it is still open today, but to foot traffic instead.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — In another time or place, the game of “What Are You?” that was played one night last fall at the University of Maryland might have been mean, or menacing: Laura Wood’s peers were picking apart her every feature in an effort to guess her race.

Not this one. The group of friends — formally, the Multiracial and Biracial Student Association — erupted into laughter and cheers, a routine show of their mixed-race pride.

The crop of students moving through college now includes the largest group of mixed-race people ever to come of age in the U.S., and they are only the vanguard: The country is in the midst of a demographic shift driven by immigration and intermarriage.

Yearning for respect, Arabs find a voice

A House divided: Is success possible?

BEIRUT — In Yemen, the chants invoked Tunisia, a continent away. A Lebanese newspaper declared that all of the Middle East was watching Egypt.

A long-dead North African poet’s most famous poem has become the anthem of a moment its most enthusiastic call revolutionary.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, conflict has pitted the West against the Arab world, as war in Iraq and Lebanon, the Israeli-Pales-

tinian conflict and the Bush administration’s policies forged grander narratives of “them against us.” As more protests erupted in Yemen, Jordan and Egypt, and as the United States remained largely on the sidelines, the struggle in the Middle East became firmly about “us.”

For the first time in a generation, it is not religion, nor the adventures of a single leader, nor wars with Israel that have energized the region.

So what is it that has?

The unrest has spread to farflung places like Seattle and New York, at left on Saturday, where people of Egyptian descent also demanded the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak.

T S / Fifth day of chaos in Egypt Mubarak’s grip on power slips Successor is named, but Egyptians keep up clashes with police as army stands on sidelines

By David D. Kirkpatrick New York Times News Service

CAIRO — President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt struggled to maintain a tenuous hold on power Saturday as the police withdrew from the major cities and the military did nothing to hold back tens of thousands of demonstrators defying a curfew to call for an end to his nearly 30 years of authoritarian rule.

As street protests flared for a fifth day, Mubarak fired his cabinet and appointed Omar Suleiman, his right-hand man and the country’s intelligence chief, as his first-ever vice president. Mubarak, who was vice president himself when he took power after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat, had until now steadfastly refused pressure to name any successor, so the move stirred speculation he was planning to resign.

That, in turn, raised the prospect of an unpredictable handover of power in a country that is a pivotal U.S. ally — a fear that administration officials say factored into President Barack Obama’s calculus not to push for Mubarak’s resignation, at least for now.

The appointments of two former generals — Suleiman and Ahmed Shafik, who was named prime minister — also signaled the central role the armed forces will play in shaping the outcome of the unrest. But even though the military is widely popular with the public, there was no sign the government shakeup would placate protesters, who added anti-Suleiman slogans to their demands.

On Saturday, Mohamed ElBaradei, the Noble laureate and a leading critic of the government, told Al Jazeera that Mubarak should step down immediately so that a new “national unity government” could take over.

A different picture on the streets Control of the streets, meanwhile, cycled through a dizzying succession of stages. After an all-out war against hundreds of thousands of protesters who flooded the streets Friday night, the legions of black-clad security police officers withdrew from the biggest cities. Looters smashed store windows and ravaged shopping malls as police stations and the national party headquarters burned through the night. Two mummies were destroyed in Cairo’s Egyptian Museum, the country’s chief antiquities official said.

Thousands of army troops then stepped in late Friday to reinforce the police. By Saturday morning, a sense of celebration took over the central squares of the capital as at least some members of the military encouraged the protesters instead of cracking down on them.

Everywhere in Cairo, soldiers and protesters hugged or snapped pictures together on top of military tanks. With the soldiers’ consent, protesters scrawled graffiti denouncing Mubarak on many of the tanks. “This is the revolution of all the people,” read a common slogan. “No, no, Mubarak” was another.

Tanks and armored personnel carriers are fanned out across this city of 18 million, guarding key government buildings, and major tourist and archaeological sites. Among those singled out for special protection was the Egyptian Museum, home to some of the country’s most treasured antiquities, and the Cabinet building. The military closed the pyramids on the outskirts of Cairo — Egypt’s leading tourist site.

The Internet appeared blocked for a third day early this morning, an effort to hamper protesters who use social networking sites to organize. After cell phone service was cut for a day Friday, two of the country’s major providers were up and running Saturday.

Before word that Mubarak had picked his first vice president, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the U.S. wanted to see Mubarak fulfill his pledges of reform. “The Egyptian government can’t reshuffle the deck and then stand pat,” Crowley said on his Twitter account. “President Mubarak’s words pledging reform must be followed by action.”

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Protesters pray in the street, surrounding Egyptian tanks, in Cairo on Saturday. Tens of thousands once again defied President Hosni Mubarak’s curfews and threats of a harsh crackdown, taking to the streets for a fifth day as the Egyptian leader struggled to hold on to the power that he has maintained in nearly 30 years of authoritarian rule. There were no clashes reported between protesters and the military at all, and many in the crowds showered soldiers with affection. Some soldiers even backed demonstrators during battles with riot police Saturday. “To hell with Mubarak. … We serve this country that we love, just like you,” yelled one soldier to protesters from atop a tank.

Unrest tests Egyptian military’s ties to U.S. Egypt’s military, built with tens of billions of dollars in American technology and training, is facing its biggest test in decades and giving U.S. officials a look at whether their massive investment has built an institution of social cohesion or one ready to turn on opponents of the current government.

Built to fight a major tank war and maintain a degree of parity with neighboring Israel, the army is being deployed on a very different mission: keeping civil order of its own people.

The arrival of tanks and troops in Cairo’s streets seemed to calm a tense situation, suggesting that the Egyptian military will play a key role as the country navigates its way out of the current crisis.

The massive amounts of defense aid — which have made Egypt’s military one of the more effective forces in the region — will probably give the United States some critical leverage, Middle East

analysts said.

U.S. military aid to Egypt, which totaled $1.3 billion in 2010, has held steady in recent years, even as aid for economic development, health and education has been cut.

“The military relationship has been sacrosanct,” said Jon Alterman, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It is an important relationship for both countries, but it is not a relationship of soul mates.”

The Obama administration says it is having “robust” conversations with Egyptian officials; on Saturday, President Barack Obama’s National Security Council convened a special two-hour session to discuss the crisis.

But the administration has also said it might review aid to Egypt. Congressional officials have cautioned the Egyptian military and President Hosni Mubarak that they have a great deal to lose if violence is used.

Diplomatic words often fail when Egypt’s involved

By Helene Cooper New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — In June 2005, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stood before an audience of 600 at the American University in Cairo, assailed the Egyptian government for intimidating and locking up protesters and called for President Hosni Mubarak to hold free elections.

“For 60 years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region here in the Middle East, and we achieved neither,” said Rice, infuriating Mubarak.

In June 2009, President Barack Obama stood before an audience of 3,000 at Cairo University, and took a far gentler tone. “I do have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed,” Obama said. But he later added, “There is no straight line to

realize that promise.” Mubarak’s officials were euphoric after his speech; one called it “seminal.”

In the end, neither speech may have made much of a difference.

The chaos unfolding in Egypt is laying bare a stark fact, Middle East experts say: American words may not matter, because American deeds have been fairly consistent. Ever since Anwar Sadat reached a peace treaty with Israel 31 years ago, the U.S. government has viewed Egypt, no matter how flawed or undemocratic, as America’s closest ally in the Arab world.

The White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, encapsulated the administration’s dilemma Friday in words that made it clear that administration officials still hadn’t decided what to do. “We will be reviewing our systems posture based on events that take place in the coming days,” he told reporters — as if he was talking about a NASA launch, not chaos in Cairo.

Moscow attack seen to target foreigners Authorities ID suspect in airport blast

By Ellen Barry New York Times News Service

MOSCOW — Russian authorities announced Saturday they had identified a 20-year-old native of the North Caucasus region as the suicide bomber who killed 35 people at Domodedovo Airport’s international arrivals hall — a location chosen specifically because it gave the opportunity to kill foreigners.

They did not announce the man’s name, saying the authorities were seeking to detain “organizers and accomplices” who were involved in the attack.

Concentrating on foreigners would be a departure for the insurgency — though foreigners have previously been caught in mass attacks, like the 2002 siege

of a Moscow theater, there has never been any suggestion that they were the target.

But militants in the North Caucasus have already made it clear they are changing their tactics to include high-profile attacks on civilians. The vast majority of insurgent attacks still target the police and other state officials in the tumultuous southern region, one that has long chafed under Moscow’s control. But the militant leader Doku Umarov last year warned the residents of central Russia that “the war (will) come to your streets.”

The vow was borne up by a November 2009 bombing on a luxury train on its way to St. Petersburg and a double suicide bombing last March in the Moscow subway.

The airport bombing — on the eve of President Dmitri Medvedev’s speech at the World Economic Forum — appears specifically geared to attract global attention.

Among the factors driving the Caucasus militants to stage dramatic attacks is a generational shift, as veterans of the secular Chechen separatist movement are replaced by younger adherents of fundamentalist Islam, said Mark Galeotti, who leads New York University’s Center for Global Affairs.

“There’s a sense that the West isn’t going to care about us, so why are we bothering being cautious?” Galeotti said. “When foreigners get killed, it’s more of a news story, and also it’s more embarrassing for Moscow — given that the rebels are already revving themselves up to do something at Sochi,” where Russia is hosting the Olympics in 2014.

No real 2012 contenders yet? No one told the blogs

By Jeremy W. Peters New York Times News Service

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor who is flirting with a bid for president, has none of the usual campaign accoutrements.

No tour bus, campaign manager or yard signs. Few Americans, in fact, even recognize his name.

What Pawlenty does have is a beat reporter from Politico chronicling every utterance and movement of his non-campaign campaign: a 25-year-old named Kendra Marr, who followed him through subzero temperatures last week equipped with a saltcoated Chevrolet Malibu rental, a laptop and a hand-held video camera.

The New Hampshire primary is more than a year away. The first major presidential candidate has yet to formally declare. Just don’t tell that to the media outlets like Politico, Talking Points Memo and RealClearPolitics, which are already planning to smother the 2012 campaign trail in a way they could never have imagined four years ago.

With an eye toward earning greater respectability, this crop of political websites wants to establish themselves as the Blogs on the Bus. “We were a garage band in 2008, riffing on the fly,” said Jim VandeHei, Politico’s executive editor and co-founder. “Now we’re a 200-person production, with a precise feel and plan.”

Talking Points Memo, a site that has been around since 2000 but only became a force outside Washington in the last few years, plans to expand its reporting staff to 15 people. In 2008, it had only one full-time reporter and an intern assigned to the campaign.

In the 2004 campaign, said the site’s founder, editor and publisher, Josh Marshall, “We were sort of a player.” But now, he said with a sense of pride, “We’ve already got reporters assigned to different campaigns. … It’s an entirely different game for us.”

RealClearPolitics plans to more than double the number of reporters covering the 2012 campaign to at least six, according to John McIntyre, the website’s chief executive and co-founder.

“We’re going to be putting as many reporters in the field as we can,” McIntyre said, adding that original reporting “is how we become part of the conversation.”

An organizer with the Washington, D.C., tea party group speaks to reporters last week on Capitol Hill. Groups across the country are already preparing to challenge some of Congress’ longest-serving incumbents in 2012.

Tea party starts early on ousting moderates

By Kate Zernike New York Times News Service

Leaders of more than 70 tea party groups in Indiana gathered last weekend to sign a proclamation saying they would all support one candidate — as yet undetermined — in a primary challenge to Sen. Richard Lugar, the Republican who has represented the state since 1977.

They are organizing early, they say, to prevent what happened last year, when several tea party candidates split the vote in Republican Senate primaries, allowing the most establishment of the candidates to win with less than 40 percent.

The meeting in Sharpsville was hardly the exception.

Just three months after the midterm elections, tea party organizers are preparing to challenge some of the longestserving Republican incumbents in 2012.

In Maine, there is already one candidate running on a tea party platform against Sen. Olympia Snowe. Supporters there are seeking others to run, declaring that they, too, will back the person they view as the strongest candidate to avoid splitting their vote. In Utah, the same people who ousted Sen. Robert Bennett at the state’s GOP convention last spring are now looking at a challenge to Sen. Orrin Hatch.

The early moves suggest that the pattern of the last elections, in which primaries were more fiercely contested than the general election in several states, may be repeated.

They also show how much the tea party has changed the definition of who qualifies as a conservative. While Snowe

is widely considered a moderate Republican, Hatch is not. Lugar, similarly, defines himself as a conservative. He argues that he has consistently won praise from small-business groups, supported a balanced budget amendment and pushed for a reduction in farm subsidies and the closing of agricultural extension offices as part of an effort to reduce unnecessary spending — all initiatives that fall under the smaller government rubric of the tea party.

The coalition of tea party groups, calling itself Hoosiers for a Conservative Senate, plans to hold a caucus in June where the 70-odd groups involved will choose a candidate to run against Lugar in the primary next May. In the meantime, the group has designated a coordinator for each of the state’s congressional districts to begin a campaign to educate voters about what tea party supporters call Lugar’s liberal record.

The group has also had discussions with several national groups that played a role in primaries last year where establishment candidates or Republican incumbents lost to tea party challenges, including FreedomWorks, the Tea Party Express and the Club for Growth.

Those behind tea party challenges say they learned their lesson about splitting the vote from several primary contests last year, including the Senate races in Illinois and Indiana and congressional races in Virginia, where a flood of tea party candidates resulted in a moderate or establishment candidate winning.

ELECTION

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, January 30, 2011 A3

Legislature Continued from A1 Though the 30-30 tie is a first for the Oregon House, the state Senate was tied in 2003. And to the north, Washington state has experienced a tied House twice in recent history.

All three sessions point to a sea change in how this year’s Legislature will operate. That change will affect the laws Oregonians see passed.

In Salem in 2009, with a three-fifths supermajority in each chamber, Democrats were in the driver’s seat. As far as their relative influence, Republicans felt like roadkill.

In Washington, it was a different story when the state House tied at 39-39 twice, in 1999 and 2001. Much like the Oregon House will do this year, each side alternated days holding the gavel. Observers in Olympia say it was like Republicans and Democrats took turns holding the steering wheel, with each side keeping a foot on the brake. Neither side could run things off the road, but progress was slow.

“I wouldn’t say it was unproductive, but it was a major challenge,” said David Ammons, a Washington Secretary of State spokesman who spent 37 years covering state government for The Associated Press.

In 1999, he said, “We called it the Cuisinart session: All the rough edges needed to be filed off (legislation). Anything that had any partisan tinge to it was simply DOA.” In 2001, lawmakers learned to lower expectations, he added. Though the governor’s seat and state Senate were controlled by Democrats, the need to pass legislation through the evenly split House made it the most powerful arm of government in Olympia. “The House, in this weird sharing of power, controlled the whole town,” Ammons said.

In Salem in 2003, a 15-15 tie in the Senate led to similar lessons. It was a productive one — including significant budget cuts and reform to the state’s Public Employee Retirement System — but it was also a very long one, thanks to the need for bipartisan support.

“It was one of my favorite sessions because everyone was in it together,” recalled Sen. Ginny Burdick, D-Portland. “If we didn’t have bipartisan cooperation, it didn’t happen. …

You can’t just sit on the sideline throwing rocks like you can in a more skewed situation.”

Though Democrats enjoy a 16-14 Senate majority, Courtney named Republicans to be chairs and co-chairs of four committees in an effort to pass legislation that can also move through the split House. He said he’s cautioned committee chairs to try to avoid passing legislation on straight partyline votes.

The lesson he learned in 2003, he said, is “the chamber that is not tied has got to spend as much time thinking about the chamber that is tied as it does thinking about itself.”

The new balance of power has spurred an unusual level of bipartisan rhetoric. In fact, freshman Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, says it’s the most surprising part of his new job, considering all the “hard things” said during last fall’s campaign.

But the tight deadline of trying to wrap things up in June has lawmakers already making tough decisions. Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, was named this year to cochair a crucial committee, the House Committee on General Government and Consumer Protection. And he’d hoped to make the committee dig into government accountability

Debating 8 tough topics in a 5-month session The budget and the economy Oregon continues to run some of the nation’s highest unemployment rates, consistently topping 10 percent. And it faces a projected $3.5 billion gap between projected costs and revenues in the 2011-13 budget.

While the budget gap is certain to lead to cuts, lawmakers say they are determined to also make reforms to make government run better.

The co-chair of the budgetwriting Joint Ways and Means Committee, Sen. Richard Devlin, D-Tualatin, said that given the budget gap, lawmakers don’t have any choice but to reform.

“If you try to make simple cuts across, you would never bridge the … gap, because there would simply be no way to do it,” he said.

State employees’ pay and benefits Former Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s government reform Cabinet concluded that public employee pay and benefits are poised to outstrip their counterparts in the private sector. And even Democrats, traditionally defenders of public employee pay and retirement benefits, say they won’t be spared, given the state’s bleak budget situation.

Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, when recently listing the session’s most pressing topics, called the issue of state employee compensation “one of the 10,000-pound chickens that’s sitting in middle of the room.”

Tax and kicker reform One area where Republicans and Democrats are expected to seek compromise is a tradeoff of modifying the state’s “kicker” law — requiring tax rebates in times of state surplus — in exchange for lowering Oregon’s high capital gains tax rate on investment profits. Senate Republicans already supported the idea of kicker reform last year, and top Democrats have said they are open to dealing on the capital gains rate.

Health care reform Oregon’s new Democratic governor, John Kitzhaber, has said he’ll propose a total overhaul of the state’s health care system to save money. It involves collapsing bureaucracies and changing how doctors get paid. But to cut costs in the way he says is necessary, he will need permission from the federal government, which is far from a sure thing. and reform.

However, the committee’s schedule will allow only 48 hours for hearing bills, he said recently, meaning that only 48 bills out of hundreds will receive full hearings.

“The time crunch is going to be so difficult,” he said. “We’re not going to be able to have a lot of courtesy hearings.”

Rep. Dennis Richardson, R-Central Point, said he is optimistic, but not certain, that the bipartisan spirit will last.

IN THE LEGISLATURE Higher education The Legislature has steadily slashed its support of higher education. Many university presidents are looking for lifeboats to escape what they consider a sinking ship.

The air is thick with assorted higher education privatization and independence plans.

Kitzhaber, meanwhile, has said he thinks the state’s community colleges should be merged with universities as well as K-12 schools.

K-12 education Kitzhaber has said he will cut the overall schools budget, but the cuts won’t kick in until 2012, giving school boards time to make their own reforms and cuts.

Meanwhile, legislative leaders say they are intent on reforming the state’s muchcriticized system of education service districts, sparked by spending scandals at several of them. That means consolidation at the least, or possibly even state oversight.

Social services reform Sen. Devlin says social services will be particularly hard hit by a decrease in federal funding that could cost Oregon billions. As a result, he and his fellow Joint Ways and Means co-chair, Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, plan hearings on potential reforms. They will address, among other things, how Oregon delivers early childhood services.

“Right now, eight different agencies serve … that population,” Buckley said. “We’re going to break that down through the budget process … and try to narrow that down to a much lower level of administrative overhead.”

Redistricting Legislators this year will take up the politically charged oncea-decade task of redrawing the boundaries for congressional and state legislative districts. They have until the end of June; if they fail, the job will fall to the Secretary of State, Democrat Kate Brown.

This year, both the Senate and House redistricting committees will be evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, and legislative leaders say they intend to make a sincere effort to handle the job themselves.

“Redistricting is something that we have not been able to accomplish in 50 years here, (but) we’re sure going to try,” Courtney said.

Arab world Continued from A1 For Gamal Hassanein, it began with a slap. The unemployed 24year-old was arguing with a police officer when the man struck him across the face — a blow that seemed to sting for months.

“He stole my dignity with that slap,” Hassanein, who does odd jobs to make money, told The Associated Press in Cairo. “We could never stand up to those officers before because we were afraid.

But we’re no longer willing to be silenced by our fear.”

The tens of thousands of protesters who have thrown Egypt’s 30-year-old regime into tumult come from all walks of life — conservative Muslims and Christians, yuppies and the unemployed, young and old. For many, the protests demanding that President Hosni Mubarak step down were a catalyst for years or decades of repressed anger at mistreatment at the hands of the state.

Across Egypt and the Middle East, a somewhat nostalgic notion of a common Arab identity, intersecting with a visceral sense of what amounts to a decent life, is driving protests that have bound the region in a sense of a shared destiny.

“The experience of Tunisia will remain the guiding light for Egypt and may be so for people in Yemen, Sudan and the rest of the Arab world looking for change, with a readiness to accept risk, especially given that even the worst possibilities are better than the status quo,” Talal Salman, the editor of Al Safir, wrote Friday.

A chant in Egypt put it more bluntly, playing on the longstanding chants of Islamists that “Islam is the solution.” “Tunisia,” they shouted, “is the solution.”

A diverse Arab world Unlike Eastern Europe, whose old order dissolved with breathtaking speed in 1989, Arab countries are distinct in their ideologies and governments, though they often share the same complaints of their citizens and some degree of support by the United States. But rarely has there been a moment when the Middle East felt so interconnected, governments so unpopular and Arabs so overwhelmingly agreed on the demand for change, even as some worry about the aftermath in a place where alternatives to dictatorship have been relentlessly crushed.

The Middle East is being drawn together by economic woes and a shared resentment that people have been denied dignity and respect. From Saudi Arabia to Egypt and beyond, many say, there is a broad sense of failure and frustration.

“After so many years of political stagnation, we were left with choices between the bad and the worse,” said Fadel Shallak, a Lebanese writer and a former government minister. “Now there’s something happening in the Arab world. A collective voice is being heard again.”

As a unifying force, an older Middle East had the Voice of the Arabs, the wildly popular radio station of Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt’s charismatic but repressive leader from 1956 to 1970. Its mix was oratory, propaganda and music, most memorably of Umm Kulthum, the iconic Egyptian diva. Today it is Al Jazeera, and though his popularity pales before the singer’s, the Tunisian poet, Abul-Qasim al-Shabi, whose work has seemed to define the protests and their ambitions.

But even Al Jazeera has turned its gaze inward. Always provocative and critical of the U.S. and Israel, it has covered the Egyptian protests breathlessly, as it did Tunisia’s, sometimes even egging the protesters on. It is joined by Facebook and Twitter, which have stitched together disparate places bound by a common language.

Egypt shut down Internet services in the country on Friday, in a remarkable demonstration of how powerful those tools have become. Yemen’s president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, reverted to a more old-fashioned tactic reminiscent of the feuds Nasser had with his Arab colleagues: he complained to the leader of Qatar, where Al Jazeera is based. The channel, he said, was aiding those “seeking to ignite dissent.”

That is, no doubt, true. It describes, as well, Facebook and Twitter messages; on Facebook, a group in Jerusalem pledged support for Egypt and Tunisia.

The Arab world, it said, “is moving from darkness to light … from dictatorship to freedom.”

In Egypt, personal humiliations are exacerbated by a sense of national shame at a series of failures that throw into relief the nation’s slide from cultural and political trendsetter of the Arab world to a country besieged by poverty, illiteracy, corruption and official incompetence.

A ship sinking in the Red Sea

left more than 1,000 dead. The national football team lost a World Cup game to Algeria. The government has failed to reconcile warring Palestinian factions and appears unable to influence Israel’s actions in the Middle East.

For years, though, the anger had no outlet. Egypt’s traditional opposition groups — socialists, liberals and Arab nationalists — have been marginalized. The largest and most organized opposition group, the banned Muslim Brotherhood, has not reached out to non-conservative Muslims, lim-

C OV ER S T ORY iting its base of supporters.

Then, in June, the death of a 28-year-old businessman at the hands of undercover police set off months of small protests in Egypt that swelled into mass outrage after Tunisians overthrew their longtime autocratic president.

Democracy and U.S. interests The changes may have deep repercussions for the United States.

Mouin Rabbani, an analyst in Jordan, said economic frustrations

mirrored resentment at governments perceived as agents of the U.S. and its allies. In fact, a more democratic Arab world, given recent polling, is likely to be much more hostile to American policy.

But the preoccupation now is internal.

“Had they been able to resolve the underlying economic issues, people would have overlooked the corruption, the mismanagement, the autocratic rule,” said Abdel Aziz Abu Hamad Aluwaisheg, a Saudi economist. “But when they failed to do the bread and butter

issues, people started looking at their governments.”

That may have forged an idea of common cause, where protesters in the most remote locales take their cues from the like-minded in faraway places.

“I wish I could join them, and I wish these protests could get rid of all these regimes,” said Mona Sibai, an Egyptian woman living in Beirut. “I feel proud.”

Laith Shbillat, a veteran dissident in Jordan, said: “People want their freedom, people want their bread. People want to stop these

lousy dictators from looting their countries. I’d follow anybody. I’d follow Vladimir Lenin if he came and led me.”

Shbillat mentioned Shabi, the poet, who died in 1934. “If one day, a people desires to live, then fate will answer their call,” his most famous poem went. “And their night will then begin to fade, and their chains break and fall.”

“He’s leading us from his grave,” Shbillat said.

President prepares a budget in the trillions

Mixed race Continued from A1 “How many mixtures do you have?” one young man asked above the chatter of about 50 students at that recent game at the University of Maryland.

With her tan skin and curly brown hair, Wood’s ancestry could have spanned the globe.

“I’m mixed with two things,” she said politely.

“Are you mulatto?” asked Paul Skym, another student, using a word once tinged with shame that is enjoying a comeback in some young circles. When Wood confirmed that she is indeed black and white, Skym, who is Asian and white, boasted, “Now that’s what I’m talking about!”

President Barack Obama will send a multitrillion-dollar budget to lawmakers on Feb. 14, administration spokesman Kenneth Baer said, setting up a conflict over spending that may dominate a divided Congress for the rest of the year.

The budget for fiscal 2012 is a political document that will put into precise language the administration’s priorities for increasing economic growth and creating jobs. Obama says he’s ready to trim or eliminate programs, specifically mentioning community action grants to local governments, to allow spending increases for his priorities. “We want to cut with a scalpel as opposed to a chain saw,” Obama said in an interview broadcast online Thursday.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday the U.S. budget deficit will widen this year to a record $1.5 trillion, partly because of the $858 billion tax-cut measure passed last month by Congress.

In his State of the Union address Tuesday, the president proposed a five-year freeze on all annual appropriations for a savings of about $400 billion over a decade. It wouldn’t apply to defense, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and interest in the national debt. Republicans, and some Democrats, say the freeze doesn’t go far enough.

W B U.S.: Pakistan illegally holding diplomat ISLAMABAD — The murky case of an American diplomat who fatally shot two Pakistanis escalated into a diplomatic standoff Saturday, as the U.S. Embassy demanded the man’s immediate release and accused Pakistan of illegally detaining him.

In a statement and interviews, U.S. officials in this capital city said the man, Raymond Davis, was a diplomat who fired in selfdefense and qualified for immunity from prosecution. Law enforcement authorities in Punjab province, where the shooting took place Thursday, had made no effort to verify his diplomatic status before arresting and detaining him, in violation of international conventions, officials said.

“You don’t treat a diplomat like another person. You don’t arraign them before a court. That’s serious, too, and this will escalate,” a senior U.S. official said Saturday, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Afghans plan to stop recruiting kids as police Afghanistan is expected to sign a formal agreement with the U.N. today to stop the recruitment of children into its police forces and ban the common practice of boys being used as sex slaves by military commanders, according to Afghan and U.N. officials.

The effort by Afghanistan’s international backers to rapidly expand the country’s police and military forces has had the unintended consequence of drawing underage boys into service.

Meanwhile, a suicide bomber killed the deputy governor of strategic Kandahar province Saturday, raising fears that insurgents were reigniting an assassination campaign against public servants that terrorized the south’s main urban hub for much of last year.

China considers forcing visits to elderly parents On the eve of the Lunar New Year festival, when Chinese flood train stations, bus terminals and airports to reunite with loved ones, one Chinese ministry is proposing that the government mandate closer families.

Under a proposal submitted Monday by the Civil Affairs Ministry to China’s State Council, adult children would be required by law to regularly visit their elderly parents. If they do not, parents can sue. The proposal could be considered by the National People’s Congress in March.

Documentary Continued from A1 ODOT spokesman Peter Murphy said the highway bridge is a bigger project than any other in recent Oregon history.

“The old one didn’t fit the needs of the trucking industry,” he said. “The trucks are bigger and heavier and longer and faster.”

To deal with the influx of people coming into Central Oregon, the Department of Transportation decided to build the new bridge in 1997.

“It was a recognition that Central Oregon was changing, and ODOT was accommodating those changes,” Murphy said. “The nature of vehicles had changed, as had the nature of travel. … It also opened up, in the same way that almost the railroad opened up Central Oregon, the Crooked River bridge opened up this incredible land, the natural resources, the tourism industry.”

The new bridge replaced a highway bridge built by Conde McCullough in 1926, which still stands and is open to foot traffic. Also still standing is the 1911 railroad bridge that first opened up the area to travelers and business.

ODOT allowed Hutchings access to the project while it was under way and gave him grant money as well. But the filming lasted a lot longer than his summer videography class.

“It just grew legs,” Hutchings said.

When an interesting part of construction was going to take place, the ODOT engineer on site would call Hutchings, who would head over to get it on film.

He was allowed to crawl out onto areas of the bridge in the midst of construction, and ODOT even offered to send him out on a boom over the canyon. Hutchings didn’t do it, and he regrets it.

“At the time I didn’t like the shot,” he said.

Over the next few years, Hutchings shot about 50 hours of film, and Tonsfeldt co-wrote the script and provided much of the historical research. He wrapped up filming in 2001. Then, he shelved the project and focused on his work in the classroom.

In 2009, a colleague in COCC’s media department approached Hutchings about finishing up the documentary and trying to get it into the public’s eye.

It was good timing. Over the years he heard personal stories and experiences people had on the bridge, and Hutchings spent sleepless nights knowing the footage sat on the shelf.

“I realized I better get it finished,” he said.

Hutchings had always hoped the piece would get picked up by OPB, so he edited it with an eye toward their standards.

Going from 50 hours to 30 minutes wasn’t easy.

“It was difficult to throw out a lot of it,” he said.

“There were things I think were interesting that maybe the regular viewer didn’t.”

Before he finalized the documentary, he showed the footage to community groups around town to get feedback, then included their favorite parts in the final cut.

The finished product covers the history of the canyon’s geology, the 1911 railroad bridge and the 1926 highway bridge, as well as the construction of the Rex T. Barber bridge.

For Hutchings, his hope is that the documentary gives people new stories to tell when they drive across the bridge.

Murphy said he’s impressed with Hutchings’ work.

“This was a labor of love,” he said. “He was simply motivated by the goodness of the project, to let people know.”

And now, Hutchings wants to continue making documentaries, this time about his area of expertise: the Spanish-speaking world.

One in seven new marriages is between spouses of different races or ethnicities, according to data from 2008 and 2009 that was analyzed by the Pew Research Center. Multiracial and multiethnic Americans (usually grouped together as “mixed race”) are one of the country’s fastestgrowing demographic groups. Experts expect the racial results of the 2010 census, which will start to be released next month, to show the trend continuing or accelerating.

Many young adults of mixed backgrounds are rejecting the color lines that have defined Americans for generations in favor of a much more fluid sense of identity. Ask Michelle Lopez-Mullins, a 20-year-old junior and the president of the Multiracial and Biracial Student Association, how she marks her race on forms like the census, and she says, “It depends on the day, and it depends on the options.”

They are also using the strength in their growing numbers to affirm roots that were once portrayed as tragic or pitiable.

“I think it’s really important to acknowledge who you are and everything that makes you that,” said Wood, the 19-year-old vice president of the group. “If someone tries to call me black, I say, ‘yes — and white.’ People have the right not to acknowledge everything, but don’t do it because society tells you that you can’t.”

Optimists say the blending of the races is a step toward transcending race, to a place where America is free of bigotry, prejudice and programs like affirmative action.

Pessimists say a more powerful multiracial movement will lead to more stratification and come at the expense of the number and influence of other minority groups, particularly AfricanAmericans. And some sociologists say that grouping all multiracial people together glosses over differences in circumstances between someone who is, say, black and Latino, and someone who is Asian and white. Along those lines, it is telling that the rates of intermarriage are lowest between blacks and whites, indicative of the enduring economic and social distance between them.

Rainier Spencer, author of “Reproducing Race: The Paradox of Generation Mix,” says, “The mixed-race identity is not a transcendence of race; it’s a new tribe,” he said. “A new balkanization of race.”

But for many of the University of Maryland students, that is not the point. They are asserting their freedom to identify as they choose. “All society is trying to tear you apart and make you pick a side,” Wood said. “I want us to have a say.”

The way we were Americans mostly think of themselves in singular racial terms. Witness President Barack Obama’s answer to the race question on the 2010 census: Although his mother was white and his father was black, Obama checked only one box, black.

Long ago, the nation saw itself in more hues than black and white: The 1890 census included categories for racial mixtures such as quadroon (one-fourth black) and octoroon (one-eighth black). With the exception of one survey from 1850 to 1920, the census included a mulatto category, which was for people who had any perceptible trace of African blood.

But by the 1930 census, terms for mixed-race people had all disappeared, replaced by the socalled one-drop rule, an antebellum convention that held that anyone with a trace of African ancestry was only black. (Similarly, people who were “white and Indian” were generally counted as Indian.)

The census enumerator decided.

By the 1970s, Americans were expected to designate themselves as members of one officially recognized racial group: black, white, American Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, Korean or “other,” an option used frequently by people of Hispanic origin. (The census recognizes Hispanic as an ethnicity, not a race.)

Starting with the 2000 census, Americans were allowed to mark one or more races, and 7 million people — about 2.4 percent of the population — reported being more than one race.

According to estimates from the Census Bureau, the mixed-race population has grown by roughly 35 percent since 2000.

Moving forward The faces of mixed-race America are not just on college campuses. They are in politics, business and sports. And the ethnically ambiguous are especially ubiquitous in movies, television shows and advertising.

Student groups like the one at Maryland, offering peer support and activism, are more common.

Such a club would not have existed a generation ago. “It’s kind of a taking-back in a way, taking the reins,” Lopez-Mullins said. “We don’t always have to let it get us down,” she added, referring to the question multiracial people have heard for generations.

“The No. 1 reason why we exist is to give people who feel like they don’t want to choose a side, that don’t want to label themselves based on other people’s interpretations of who they are, to give them a place, that safe space,” she said. LopezMullins is Chinese and Peruvian on one side, and white and American Indian on the other.

That safe space did not exist when Warren Kelley enrolled in 1974. Though his mother is Japanese and his father African-American, he had basically one choice. “I was black, and proud to be black,” Kelley said. “There was no notion that I might be multiracial. Or that the public discourse on college campuses recognized (that).”

He continued, “As I moved into adulthood and got a professional job, I started to respect my parents more and see the amount of my mom’s culture that’s reflected in me. Society itself also moved.”

Crook County may rent more jail beds

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

Washington Week WASHINGTON — The State of the Union address dominated the conversation around the U.S. Capitol last week. For the rest of the week, though, the U.S. Senate focused on tweaking its own rules, while the U.S. House took up a number of cost-cutting measures.

Here’s how Oregon’s lawmakers voted last week:

Crook County commissioners are considering renting more inmate space at the Jefferson County Jail.

The current agreement between the two counties has Crook County paying for 16 beds in the Jefferson County Jail at a cost of $350,400 per year. The Crook County Jail also has 16 beds, allowing the county to keep 32 inmates at one time.

Crook County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Al Bond, who is in charge of the

Crook County Jail, said he believes the need for additional beds is definitely there.

“Currently, we are full at both jails,” Bond said. “If we were to pick up more space, we could fill that, too.”

‘Enough bad guys’ Crook County Commission Judge Mike McCabe said the commission would review the facts as they enter their budgeting process this year,

but he expects they will find that the need is there.

“We have enough bad guys,” McCabe said. “We know that, and we will probably look at picking up a few more beds in Jefferson County.

We will at least discuss it in the budget process this year.”

Bond said Crook County currently uses a matrix system that determines a numeric score for each potential inmate that comes through the correction system.

Councilors working to trim project list City has $90M list of street fixes to shrink to $27M bond initiative

By Nick Grube The Bulletin

City of Bend officials are narrowing down about a $90 million wish list of projects related to street repair and construction that could be taken to voters in May as part of a city-sponsored bond initiative.

The city wants to use this bond to raise up to $27 million for these infrastructure improvements, and use a property tax levy to pay back the debt.

“We have a whole bunch of problems and we’re talking about Inside $25 million, which • A comprehensive list doesn’t go as far as of projects, Page B2 you might imagine,” Bend Street Division Manager Hardy Hanson said in a voice message Friday.

The initiative came out of a Jan. 21 budget workshop in which the City Council discussed, among other things, tactics to trim an estimated five-year $17 million to $27 million dollar general fund shortfall and ways to pay for street improvement projects that the city either currently can’t afford or have been delayed because of money constraints.

Some of the potential projects on the list include upgrading parts of Reed Market Road to three lanes, putting in a roundabout at the intersection of Simpson Avenue and Mt. Washington Drive and reconstructing sections of Brookswood Boulevard and Empire Avenue. There’s also about $5 million worth of street maintenance equipment that could be purchased using the bond funds.

The resolution will shorten the Senate practice called the “secret hold,” which allows any senator to block a bill or nomination without revealing his or her identity.

Currently, a senator needs only to file notice that he or she intends to filibuster in order to slow debate. Filibusters can be ended with 60 votes. Opponents of the measure said it was an effort by Democrats to weaken the power of the minority party.

CENTRAL OREGON COMMUNITY COLLEGE

2 deans retiring; 1 moving on

By Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

Central Oregon Community College has seen its share of changes over the past year, with an increase in student enrollment and a new bond to build several new facilities. Now, the college will see more changes as three deans are leaving COCC this year.

The college has a total of three instructional deans, one continuing education and extended learning dean, and one dean of student and enrollment services.

Carol Moorehead, the dean of continuing education and extended learning, will retire on June 30, as will Instructional Dean Diana Glenn.

Mary Jeanne Kuhar, also an instructional dean, has resigned to take a new position at Lane Community College.

“They are all three absolutely incredible at what they do, they

“There is a very strong possibility that (Diana Glenn) and (Carol Moorehead) will be back helping part-time in the fall.”

— Karin Hilgersom, vice president for instruction, Central Oregon Community College really are,” said Vice President for Instruction Karin Hilgersom. “One of the things about this work is you really do have to be very skilled at multitasking. Every day is different, and you have to have good communication skills. They’ve just been amazing.”

Glenn started at the college in 1986 as a business and computer information systems

instructor, and took over as instructional dean in 2007. She’s been planning to retire for two years, and this year helped shepherd through the culinary center plans. Hilgersom said the new culinary program director, Gene Fritz, will be able to push forward much of the work she’s done.

College Relations Director Ron Paradis said Glenn may come back on a part-time, temporary basis to help finish projects and transition her replacement.

Moorehead has worked at COCC for 28 years, including as the head of the Sisters campus and the Redmond campus.

Recently, Moorehead worked with the business and economic development community to create a plan for the new Redmond technology center, which will be built using funds from the $41.6 million bond passed in November 2009.

See COCC / B5

Councilors decided to pursue a bond initiative that would replace a current property tax levy that is set to expire later this year. That levy was an urban renewal tax of $0.27 per $1,000 on assessed value — or about $54 per year for a $200,000 home — and was used to pay for downtown improvements, such as a parking garage.

The idea behind going for the general obligation bond at this time, according to city officials, is to keep property tax bills the same as they are today or potentially reduce the charges by asking for a lower levy than the $0.27 per $1,000 of assessed value.

It’s uncertain at this time how much input residents will actually have on what projects the city decides to pursue with the bond measure. The initiative must be fast-tracked to meet a March 17 deadline to get the measure on the May ballot.

If we had more room we could keep some of the medium to lesser offenders in the jail.�

Jefferson County Commission Chair Mike Ahern said he is happy to discuss extra inmate space with Crook County. “Why have all those cops out there if you can’t keep criminals

Bend

in a jail?� Ahern said. “I’m very pleased we are in the position to be able to do this. It’s a positive thing for both counties.�

Ahern said he expected Crook County to request more beds on Jan. 26 when the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners agreed to ask voters for a jail operations levy running at 99 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation for three years.

Bed contract a plus for Jefferson County The levy was less than Sheriff Jim Adkins had hoped, but Ahern said he believed they would be able to make up for lost revenue with a revised contract with Crook County.

Adkins said with the 99-cent levy option, he would still have to lay off employees at the jail, but an updated contract could change that. “I’m very excited to hear they will talk about (contracting more

beds),� Adkins said. “Since the commissioners went against my advice and chose to go with the 99-cent plan that means I’m going to have to cut money from the jail.

Any money that I can get from a Crook County contract means I can probably be able to keep more people.�

The Jefferson County Jail has capacity for up to 160 beds. It usually serves about 70 inmates.

Voters in Jefferson County will be asked on May 17 to vote on whether to extend the current levy for three years.

Under the current levy, which expires in June, as well as the proposed levy, the owner of a home assessed at $200,000 pays $198 in taxes to fund operations at the jail.

Voters rejected a proposed levy of $1.19 per $1,000 of assessed valuation in the November election.

Adkins said he needed the $1.19 option because he believed that is what it would cost to keep the jail operating at its current capacity

Compiled from Bulletin staff report

Two people were arrested late Friday after leading deputies from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office on a chase through Bend.

The chase began at approximately 10:47 p.m., when a deputy attempted to stop a vehicle for changing lanes without a signal near the intersection of Southeast Third Street and Franklin Avenue. The driver kept going, heading south on Third Street, then west on Powers Road, then south again on Brookswood Boulevard.

Near the Romaine Village neighborhood, officers attempted to stop the vehicle using a spike strip laid across the road, but were unsuccessful.

The driver left Romaine Vil-

lage and continued south on U.S. Highway 97, reaching speeds of 70 to 80 mph. About three miles south of Baker Road, the driver pulled over and came to a stop behind a parked Oregon State Police vehicle that was parked on the southbound shoulder.

The driver, Danielle Hope Sahme, 35, of Redmond, and the passenger, Brand Mark Rich, 35, a transient, were taken into custody and booked at the Deschutes County jail.

Sahme was arrested on suspicion of attempting to elude, reckless driving, reckless endangering, violation of parole, and possession, manufacture and distribution of a controlled substance.

Rich was arrested on suspicion of violation of parole, and possession, manufacture and distribution of a controlled substance.

At the Jan. 26 meeting, Adkins also introduced a third scenario to commissioners: if the levy fails.

Under that plan, the jail could see corrections staff reduced from 20 positions to eight. The jail would also need to cut a maintenance worker and nurse to half-time.

Adkins added that without a levy, there would be no way to house 70 inmates. “If we have no levy, then we will need to cut down to 32 inmates with eight (corrections officers),� he said.

That question will be before the council at our Feb. 16 meeting.�

In the meantime, the city will continue to meet with its financial advisers to determine how much money it could raise through the levy. Current estimates show it could be as much as $27 million.

Bend-based sustainability activist plans ‘to support John,’ take on projects

Marine charged with 2 child porn counts PORTLAND — A U.S. Marine whose girlfriend is accused of sending him videos showing sex abuse of a baby has been charged in federal court in California with two counts of receiving child pornography.

Corey Hollis McAdoo, 31, was flown to California earlier this week from Afghanistan, where he had been stationed. He was charged Friday and is to be transported to Oregon.

McAdoo’s girlfriend, Inez Lambert, is accused of videotaping herself sexually abusing a 1-year-old child she babysat and sending the images to McAdoo.

— From wire reports

SALEM — Cylvia Hayes opens the front door to Mahonia Hall, accompanied only by her dog, Tessa, a large but friendly Rhodesian ridgeback.

She offers a tour of the governor’s mansion, which still shows only a few signs that she and Gov. John Kitzhaber have begun to take up occupancy.

She wanders the 10,000square-foot mansion with a bit of can-you-believe-this wonderment, a hint of how far she has come since growing up in rural Washington. But Hayes is not shy about taking on the visible role while breaking new ground as the unmarried “life partner,” as she puts it, of Oregon’s chief executive.

“I do intend to support John

and be helpful in the role of partner, for sure,” she says as she sits in an oval room off the kitchen that serves as an informal dining Cylvia Hayes nook. She says she will “attend functions for spouses, as appropriate,” and is thinking about taking on such projects as urging Oregonians to combat hunger.

“She’s going to assume, I think, the roles and responsibilities of the first lady,” Kitzhaber says in a separate interview. “I don’t think she cares one way or another about the title. But she’s certainly my first lady.”

Hayes is the first live-in partner of an Oregon governor, at

The 19th Annual Gala at The Riverhouse raised $103,425 for Sparrow Clubs.

least that anybody can remember.

She also takes up residence in Mahonia Hall under an unusual amount of scrutiny because of controversy over a state subcontract that went to one of her Bendbased sustainability firms. Documents seen by The Oregonian show that she lobbied the Energy Department to apply for federal stimulus money, some of which eventually went to her four-partner company.

Hayes has said she did nothing wrong and she was not a target of an investigation of four state officials by Attorney General John Kroger.

At age 43 — 20 years younger than Kitzhaber — Hayes has already made her mark in green energy and sustainability circles, particularly in her home base of Bend. She helped start a wellreceived solar and green home tour in Bend and was trained by former Vice President Al Gore to lecture on climate change. She co-chaired a Renewable Energy Working Group set up by then-

Gov. Ted Kulongoski that gave her access to top business and government officials working on energy issues.

Hayes met Kitzhaber during her uphill race against then-Republican Rep. Ben Westlund.

Kitzhaber, ending his first two terms as governor, appeared at a campaign event for her. A year later, Hayes arranged to meet with him in Portland to talk about whether she should try to run again and about how to grow her environmental group.

Hayes says they ran into each other a few times after that and a relationship slowly blossomed.

Eventually the two developed a close relationship. “There is not a more committed couple,” says another close friend, retired Bend teacher Carole Tucker. “They really complement each other.”

Unlike some states, Oregon has no tradition of spouses of governors being expected to take on major roles. There’s no Office of the First Lady, and many spouses have kept a low profile.

The Riverhouse Hotel & Convention Center would like to thank all our supporters and volunteers, especially the Central Oregon Visitors Association and their staff for their continued commitment to the Gala. We also offer our sincere thanks to all the attendees for your generosity and spirit of giving.

Bend discusses Third Street Actor’s cancer sheds light on prevention underpass problems in 1986

By Jane Glenn Haas

The Orange County Register

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 29, 1911 STORE GOOD ICE The Bend Livery stable recently completed an ice house on the west bank of the Deschutes, near Lava Island, about six miles south of Bend. Last week, the men finished putting up about 500 tons of 12-inch ice, and would have put 100 tons more had the weather remained cold.

O’Donnell Brothers and Williams Brothers put up about 25 tons of seven inch ice on the river just above the power station.

In order to secure a suitable pond to cut ice from near Lava Island it was necessary to build a small dam. This backed the water up over the tule swamp, and afforded a comparatively easy place to handle the ice.

The sawdust to pack the ice in was hauled from the Pilot Butte mill. There is a large supply of it at the Clarke mill, which cut the lumber for the Arnold flume.

Although in sight of the new ice house, this sawdust could not be used, as there is no safe bridge over the river between Bend and Lava Island.

A crew of 17 men and 11 teams were at work constructing the building for about three weeks.

The ice house cost $250 and is 30x60 feet and 12 feet high in the clear.

Besides putting the 500 tons in the ice house, 100 tons were hauled to Bend, Smith & Holmes, the Patterson Drug Co., the Hotel Bend and Dave Biggerstaff storing it for their summer use.

Last summer ice sold here for $40 a ton. The larger part of it was hauled from the Ice Cave, 12 miles southeast of Bend. The price next summer will be much lower, as the largest consumers have stored a supply that will last most of the summer. They paid $5 per ton for the ice delivered at their storehouses.

L.L. Fox, who had charge of putting up the ice stated that the price next summer would be not less than $20 per ton.

SETTLERS BUILD The country to the southeast of Bend, often referred to as the “High Desert” is being settled up more rapidly than people realize.

Within the past three months more than 30 homesteaders’ cabins have been built within a radius of ten miles. Last Saturday freighters left here with lumber for five more homes.

The locality that is being settled most rapidly now is Juniper Valley, 12 miles east of Millican’s ranch and about 44 miles from Bend. The lumber that was taken from Bend Saturday will be used in building cabins for Fred Schuck, Frank Schuck, Christiana Schuck, Albert Couch and Ralph Jordan, each of whom has a 320 acre homestead.

Wells are being put in with a good supply of water between 12 and 50 feet. There has been little clearing done, however many newcomers will have their land in shape to put in spring crops.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Jan. 29, 1936 KING GEORGE DIES BACHELOR KING EDWARD VIII ASCENDS THRONE OF ENGLAND King Edward VIII became the bachelor king of England today with no queen to share his throne despite a personal charm which has won the hearts of admirers throughout the world.

As the Prince of Wales he made several visits to the United States, the last being in 1924 when he spent considerable time in New York. Many an American girl today can make the proud boast of having danced with the new king of England. His blond hair and blue eyes won the hearts of debutantes and shopgirls alike.

As the Prince of Wales, he has been the idol of millions. The whole world knows him for his appealing boyishness, his adventures and travels over the globe.

Few are the people who have not seen him in the flesh for few are the places which he has not visited. It has been as the prince of good fellows even more than as the Prince of Wales that he has become known.

DUKE OF YORK HEIR TO THRONE Great Britain now has a new heir to its ancient throne in the Duke of York, second son of King George V. With the succession of Edward VIII to the throne, the next eldest son automatically becomes the heir apparent. Edward became king at the moment of his father’s death. England’s constitutional principles provide there shall be no interval between two monarchs.

The order of succession to the throne, according to English custom, provides that the brothers of the sovereign and their children shall rank as heirs, with the eldest taking precedent.

After the brothers come the sisters and their children.

The present line of succession is as follows: 1. The Duke of York, the second son, who is 40.

2. Princess Elizabeth, 9¾, older daughter of the duke.

3. Princess Margaret Rose, 5½, younger daughter of the duke.

4. The Duke of Gloucester, 34, the third son.

5. The Duke of Kent, 33, the fourth son.

6. Prince Edward George Nicholas Patrick, 3 months old, The Duke of Kent’s son.

7. Princess Mary (The Countess of Harewood), 38, the king’s only sister.

8. Viscount Lascelles, nearly 13, Princess Mary’s elder son.

9. The Hon. Gerald Lascelles, 11½, Princess Mary’s younger son.

If Edward marries, his children will take precedence over the Duke of York, the sons first, then any daughters.

For the week ending Jan. 29, 1986

KENNEDY DOUBTERS OBVIOUSLY UNDERRATED HIM BADLY IN ’60, WHICH WAS A MISTAKE (Editorial) It is quite widely agreed that John F. Kennedy’s election as president was the biggest news story of 1960. What might also be added as a footnote is that he was consistently the most underrated man of the year.

At the outset, many politicians saw his early lead for the Democratic nomination as a kind of flash in the pan. They felt sure either Adlai Stevenson or Stuart Symington would in the end outdistance him.

He stunned them first by wrapping up Ohio’s big vote.

Next they misjudged his Wisconsin primary victory, marking it a failure because he did not match printed expectations of a sweep.

The triumph was substantial.

West Virginia, heavily nonCatholic, was supposed to do Kennedy in. He won it with 60 per cent of the vote.

From then on he was winning, but the doubters were numerous.

The summit collapse was judged as hurtful to Kennedy, helpful to Stevenson. It hardly caused a ripple.

Among the big doubters was another candidate, Sen. Lyndon Johnson of Texas. He just did not believe that a seasoned politician like himself could be bested by a young man from Massachusetts.

But he was outdone — by a margin of 2-1.

Nixon had peace and generally good times going for him. And as a practiced debater he was expected to chew up his less experienced opponent in their four television encounters.

But Kennedy got the advantage out of the debates, holding his own, making himself far better known. Through the crucial weeks, he campaigned with tireless aggressiveness. The South, repelled by Kennedy’s Catholicism and the liberal Democratic platform, was for the most part lured back by Johnson, Kennedy’s shrewd choice for vice presidential nominee.

When the votes were counted, he had leaped all the barriers — his youth, his religion, his wealth, the lack of issues with great immediate impact. His margin was incredibly slim. But the real wonder was that he had done it at all.

Men of seasoned outlook will be less likely hereafter to underrate Kennedy. Certainly his choice of a cabinet and his general conduct since the election have tended to reinforce the earlier 1960 evidences of high capacity.

Yet we must not forget that 1961 will be a totally new story.

As has often been said, no man truly prepares himself for the presidency.

We can only wait to see whether the abilities and resourcefulness which stood Kennedy in good stead in 1960 will permit him to serve the country and the world in 1961 and thereafter.

SOUTH HIGHWAY BLUES The Third Street underpass near Burnside Avenue in Bend is ugly and dangerous and should be widened as soon as possible.

That’s the stance being taken by a group of merchants located south of the underpass — the dark, dank spot where four lanes of traffic narrow to two, then widen back to four lanes again.

But state Highway Division officials who have studied the matter say the underpass doesn’t cause accidents, doesn’t impede traffic except when it occasionally is flooded by heavy rains and would cost several million dollars to widen.

Roger and Lorraine Hagemann, owners of Rolaine’s Cantina, are holding a meeting Tuesday to gather ideas and plan a strategy to convince the State Transportation Commission that widening the underpass is a good idea.

The Hagemanns say representatives from at least 40 businesses in south Bend will be on hand to question John Hossick, a city planner, and a representative of the state Highway Division’s Region 5 office in Bend.

“There is a definite problem on Third Street, and the problem is south of town,” said Roger Hagemann. “They (state officials) have studies saying the underpass is accident-free and congestionfree … but all that is a temporary solution to a problem.

Craig Coyner III is a Bend city commissioner and member of the Street Priority Committee. The committee serves as an advisory body to local, county and state officials on identifying areas that need street improvements.

Coyner said that the underpass is an eyesore and turns merchants to the south “into a different kind of enclave — ‘on the wrong side of the tracks’ is another way of saying it.”

But he said the high cost of widening and improving the underpass has kept it from being a high priority.

Coyner said that, “as told to me by traffic engineers,” with lights on Wilson Avenue to the south and Franklin to the north, even if the underpass were widened to four lanes, traffic flow wouldn’t be improved.

And because Burlington Northern Railroad has its main yard directly above the underpass, Coyner said, “for them to figure out a way to lengthen the bridge as opposed to Division Street where the bridge was kept intact, would cost millions of dollars.”

Dale Allen, Region 5 engineer for the Highway Division in Bend pegged the cost at $5 million to $7 million.

The underpass has been on a list of projects targeted for improvement for “some time,” said Allen. However other projects have been identified as higher priorities.

Actor Michael Douglas says his tumor is gone, and he’s beat throat cancer.

Possibly true? What does that mean for his lifespan? And what does his open discussion about this type of cancer mean for others?

“The cancer that he has does have a potential for cure,” says Dr. Jack Jacoub, medical oncologist at Memorial Care Cancer Institute at Orange Coast in Fountain Valley, Calif.

But more important, Jacoub says, is what Douglas’ cancer does to make the public aware of throat and neck cancer and the ways people can avoid it.

He’ll have monthly checkups, but now he’s into quantifying the impact of the disease on his life. “It’s put a timeline on my life,” he says. “I’m 66 now. … But it’s definitely a third act.

And so you’re a little more conscious of your time and how you choose to spend it.”

Jacoub weighs in on a few questions: Are there warning signs, lifestyle signs, for throat and neck cancer?

We know this cancer almost always develops in the mouth and the back of the throat. We also know there is a stage where this tumor is related to long-term alcohol and tobacco use as well as the human papillomavirus.

People need to know about the virus, which usually is transmitted through sexual contact. This virus also is implicated in other forms of cancer, including cervical and anal cancers.

There is now a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer and anal cancer through this virus.

The vaccine is for ages 9 to 26.

What’s ahead for Michael Douglas and other survivors of throat and neck cancers?

Every cancer center has its own evaluation form.

But typically treatment begins with methodical examinations on a monthly basis. Over five years, these reduce to every four to six months.

Short- and long-term side effects from the therapy need to be watched.

The thyroid gland is near the area of radiation. Common manifestation of problems here is fatigue.

He needs time to get back his strength. There could be changes in his voice due to radiation treatments, which is an issue for an actor in the public eye.

But effective treatments could return him to normal function within a year.

It sounds as if there are many more specialists involved in head and neck cancer treatment. Why?

LaLanne changed exercising, but not many bodies

By Alan Bavley and Eric Adler McClatchy -Tribune News Service

At age 63, firm and fit, Diane Bashor personifies the best of Jack LaLanne’s legacy. Now if only the rest of America would do likewise.

“I work out six or seven days a week,” Bashor said as she emerged Monday from a noontime heart-pounding body shaping class at Matt Ross Community Center in Overland Park, Kan. Bashor remembers how, as a young mom with two children, she used to click on her blackand-white television to join the legendary LaLanne, who died last week at 96, in jumping jacks, squats, push-ups and all manner of calisthenics.

In many ways, she has yet to stop, crediting LaLanne and his subsequent calisthenics clones — from Jane Fonda and Cher to Richard Simmons and Tony Horton — with helping build not only bodies but also a multibillion-dollar fitness culture.

Consider the countless exercise products sold on late-night TV and the gyms, health clubs and community centers that now span the country.

“I think it all started with Jack LaLanne,” Bashor said.

Yet a half century after LaLanne first went on national television in his form-fitting jumpsuit, the America he hoped to transform is flabbier now than ever.

“He was a tremendous inspiration to the exercise professional.

He was a pioneer and a leader,” said Len Kravitz, coordinator of exercise science at the University of New Mexico.

But “we’re fatter,” he said.

In the past decade or so, as obesity rates peaked, the only extra exercise we seemed to be getting came from wringing our hands about our expanding waistlines.

When researchers had people wear little gadgets called accelerometers that measured their activity, they found fewer than 5 percent of adults actually got 30 minutes of moderate to intense exercise at least five days a week.

Real fitness buffs turn out to be a tiny minority: About 1 percent of adults average more than two hours of moderate to vigorous activity per day. An addition-

al 1.8 percent of us are “weekend warriors,” getting some moderate exercise during the workweek and then a more intense burst of activity on Saturday or Sunday.

In the early 1960s, as LaLanne was becoming the nation’s exercise coach, some 13 percent of American weighed in as obese.

That number has grown to 34 percent today.

Instead of exercising to build bulging muscles, now we’re often satisfied just to trim the excess bulges.

But there are questions about how effective the exercises offered by LaLanne and his peers can ever be for people whose main goal is losing weight.

Modern society makes it just too easy to put on the pounds — and too difficult to take them off.

Michael Douglas arrives at the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 16 in Beverly Hills, Calif.

A:

The cancer needs to be evaluated by all specialties — speech therapist, medical oncologist, nutritionist, radiation oncologist and dentist.

This is a difficult cancer to treat because of where it develops.

The most common place it develops is the oral pharynx, and that’s where I suspect Douglas developed his cancer.

During the course of therapy, because the lining of the mouth and the back of the throat are impacted, the patient often has a hard time swallowing and needs a feeding tube to maintain nutrition and weight.

The prognosis is better over the years, of course.

Lt. Col. Louis A. Fecher III (retired) passed away on Wednesday, January 26, 2011, in Bend, Oregon, one month after his 51st Wedding Anniversary and 90th birthday.

Lou was born on December 20, 1920, in Jersey City, Lt. Col. Louis A. New Jersey, he had a full, Fecher III exciting adventurous life until his body gave out, long before his spirit ever would have.

Lou served our country for 28 years in the US Air Force until he retired as a Lt. Colonel in 1967. He entered the Armed Services as a Private in the US Army in 1939, and fought in World War II as a B-18 Bombardier and Aerial Engineer and as a P-51 fighter Pilot with 270 combat hours and 67 missions. He was more proud of his service to his country and dedication to his duty than the numerous medals and accommodations he received, including the Distinguished Flying Cross.

He received a BS degree in Meteorology from New York University in 1950, and after retiring from the Air Force, a Masters degree in Audio-Visual Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Stout in 1969. He was the Associate Director of the Media Development Center at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire and after several years retired again and set up and ran a sailing program for nine years at Skagit Valley College on Whidbey Island, Washington.

Lou was an avid skier and sailor, and did both well into his 70s. He was an expert marksman, amateur photographer, gardener and woodworker. He was passionate about life and learning and that never stopped.

As a man he was disciplined, stoic, determined, responsible, generous, loyal, dedicated and driven. His booming laughter filled the room and his courage and positive, up-beat attitude were inspirational to all who met and knew him.

Lou is survived by the love of his life, Jenny (Virginia); and his daughters, April Firer (husband, Scott) and Debbie Fecher-Gramstad (husband, Gary); brother, Don Fecher; and sisters, Murial Miner and Dot Folberg; grandchildren Adam Firer, Logan Firer, Taylor Firer, Joss Gramstad, Cody Gramstad; and his great granddaughter, Ayla Firer.

At the age of 39 he met and married Jenny, a young widow with two small children. We always said that he rescued us, but he insisted that it was the other way around; that we had saved him. He was respected and admired but more importantly, he was loved. He was our rock, unwavering in his love, devotion and dedication to his family. He will be missed. He will be remembered.

Memorial contributions may be made in Lou's memory to Partners In Care Hospice, 2075 NE Wyatt Court, Bend, Oregon 97701, or to a charity of ones choosing.

Expert on children’s sexual identity Galenson dies at 94

By Dennis Hevesi New York Times News Service

Dr. Eleanor Galenson, a psychoanalyst whose research demonstrated that children are aware of sexual identity in infancy, even earlier than Freud had propounded, died Jan. 15 at her home in Manhattan. She was 94.

Galenson, who in her 65-year career was a professor of psychiatry at the Albert Einstein

College of Medicine in the Bronx and Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan, spent thousands of hours observing and documenting the actions and reactions of infants.

In 1981, with Dr. Herman Roiphe, she published “Infantile Origins of Sexual Identity.” Considered a significant book in the field, it refined existing Freudian theory about when children begin their sexual development.

Roiphe died in 2005.

Later research by Galenson documented that subtle differences exhibited by children during the new psychosexual phase could indicate lasting effects.

Her observations, said Dr. Patricia Nachman, a clinical psychologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center, “led to the idea that some of these children with very early sexual awareness may be more anxious children.”

Sept. 6, 1968 – Jan. 10, 2011

Barbara Jean Edlund Feb. 20, 1925 - Jan. 25, 2011 Barbara Jean Edlund passed away suddenly on the morning on January 25, 2011.

A memorial service will be held at Fox Hollow, 2599 NE Studio Rd., Bend, at 10 a.m. on Sunday, February 6th.

She is survived by her three sons: John "Jac" Hanson of Portland, Thomas Edlund of Cameron Park, CA, and David Edlund of Bend. She is also survived by five grandchildren and a very long list of friends. She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, Melvin Collins Edlund of Chico, CA. Barbara was born in San Pedro, CA, the daughter of Capt. John R. Coiteux and Barbara M. Bolles. She worked most of her adult life as a secretary, initially in private industry and later for the State of California until she retired in 1983. She was a sweet, loving mother and passionate supporter of the SPCA, and she will be missed by all who had the fortune to know her.

Niswonger-Reynolds Funeral Home is handling the final arrangements.

Opera star Dame Margaret Price dies in Wales at 69 The Associated Press LONDON — Opera star Dame Margaret Price, considered one of the world’s leading sopranos, has died at her home in Wales. She was 69.

Funeral director Paul Jenkins told The Associated Press Saturday that her funeral is expected to be held next week but had no further details.

The famed soprano, known for her exquisite renditions of Mozart’s complicated music, died of heart failure Friday, British press reports said.

Price, who rose to prominence after her debut as Cherubino in Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro at the Welsh National Opera in 1962, had performed in most of the world’s great opera houses by the time she retired in 1999.

Gregory Bruce Jones Aug. 20, 1967 - Jan. 22, 2011 Gregory Bruce Jones of Bend, Oregon, died on Friday, January 22, 2011. He was 43.

Greg was born on August 20, 1967, in Kinross, Michigan, the son of Dale and Kathleen (Briggs) Jones.

He grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, graduating from WestGregory Bruce ern Hills Jones High School and Texas A&M University with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.

In 2003, Greg married Gwen (Mayfield) Jones and became father of Amba on May 4, 2007.

For years, Greg enjoyed adventure, working in the Alaskan fishing industry and climbing Mt. Hood and Mt. Jefferson. He had a passion for the outdoors and a deep love of animals, both of which he shared with his wife and daughter. He had a life-long interest in soccer that included playing, coaching and discovering and nurturing his daughter's talent. Greg found great joy and satisfaction in caring for animals, especially his dog Willy.

His professional and personal passions included storm water management and stream bank restoration. His creative soul was expressed through wood-working, sewing and writing. Greg generously shared his gifts and his love with his family and friends. He is sorely missed and will be lovingly remembered.

In addition to Gwen and Amba, Greg is survived by his parents, Kathy and Danny Lee of Weatherford, Texas, and Dale and Meri Lee Jones of Littleton, Colorado; his sisters, Tiffanie Lenderman and Kelly Moran; his brother, Russ Lee, and niece, Taylor Jones. Other survivors include Greg's grandmother, Pauline Briggs; his uncle, Bruce Jones. He is preceded in death by his brother, Eric Jones.

COCC Continued from B1 “We’re trying to get as much done as we can before she retires,” Hilgersom said.

Paradis said it’s possible she will also stay on past her retirement to work on projects.

“There is a very strong possibility that (Glenn) and (Moorehead) will be back helping part-time in the fall,” Hilgersom said.

Kuhar will leave at the end of February to take over as dean of Lane Community College’s Florence campus.

She has worked at the college since 1998, when she began as a part-time instructor in health and human performance. Kuhar eventually became a full-time teacher, then the department head and then the dean.

The college will begin an immediate search for two instructional deans. Once that search is under way, COCC will start looking for Moorehead’s replacement.

Philosopher adventurer dies at 77 New York Times News Service David Pearlman, an itinerant philosopher, adventurer and environmentalist widely known as Poppa Neutrino, who founded his own church, crossed the Atlantic on a raft made from scrap and invented a theoretically unstoppable football strategy, died on Jan. 23 in New Orleans. He was 77.

The cause of death was congestive heart failure.

Pearlman had no fixed abode but had spent the last two years in Burlington, Vt., building and testing a new raft on Lake Champlain that he planned to sail around the globe.

A lifelong wanderer, he developed a philosophy that emphasized freedom, joy, creativity and antimaterialism, a creed expressed in the rafts he built from discarded materials. The rafts, he wrote on his Floating Neutrinos website, “were merely foils for our inner work: an ongoing experiment in human psychology, searching for answers to what makes us function and malfunction, and how to increase our own and others’ abilities to create meaningful and fulfilling lives.”

David Frye, perfectly clear Nixon parodist, dies at 77 New York Times News Service David Frye, whose wicked send-ups of political figures like Lyndon B. Johnson, Hubert Humphrey and, above all, Richard Nixon, made him one of the most popular comedians in the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s, died Monday in Las Vegas, where he lived. He was 77.

The cause was cardiopulmonary arrest.

In the early 1960s, he slipped Robert F. Kennedy into his act, basing his impression on a girlfriend’s comment that Kennedy sounded like Bugs Bunny.

Audiences loved it, and

Frye began adding other politicians, capturing not just their vocal peculiarities but also their body language and facial expressions. His LBJ, with a lugubrious hound-dog face and a Texas twang became a trademark.

It was Nixon who made his comedic career.

Shoulders hunched, his deep-set eyes glowering, Frye captured the insecure, neurotic Nixon to perfection.

Harry Potter club adapts Quidditch for muggles

By Gail Cole The (Corvallis) Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS — Anyone passing by the baseball diamonds at Martin Luther King Jr. Park on Sunday morning may have spotted some unusual sights — particularly a group of young people running with brooms in hand and throwing soccer balls through hula hoops mounted to the diamond’s fence.

“Excuse me,” said Al Blase, who was walking with his two dogs through the park. “Can I ask what’s going on?”

“They’re playing Quidditch,” said Katie Myers, a French teacher at Crescent Valley High School and adviser for the school’s Harry Potter club.

Blase had stumbled upon the club’s first Quidditch match, based on a popular sport in the “Harry Potter” books by J.K. Rowling.

In the seven-book series, two teams with seven players compete in a soccer-like game while riding flying broomsticks.

Three players called Chasers attempt to score points by throwing a soccer ball-like “quaffle” through their opponent’s hoops to score 10 points, while a “keeper” guards the goal. Two other players — “beaters” — try to knock individuals on the opponent’s team off their broomsticks using bats and “bludgers,” which are like bowling balls. The seventh player, the “seeker,” competes with the opponent’s seeker to find the “Golden Snitch,” a walnut-sized ball that flies, first.

When a team’s seeker finds the Golden Snitch, the game ends and that team is awarded an additional 150 points.

In the series, Harry Potter is seeker for the Gryffindor House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Muggle rules Without magic, the muggle students improvised. Because only 13 students were present at the start of the first game, they combined houses to make teams: Gryffindor and Slytherin faced off against Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

“I’m in Slytherin,” said Laurel Reid, 16, one of the club’s presidents who wore a green T-shirt, the house’s official color, while she played chaser in the first game.

Jesse Skoubo / The (Corvallis) Gazette-Times

Hufflepuff’s Andrea Landis, 17, watches as Gryffindor’s Hannah Sneller, 16, reaches to deflect the “quaffle” from going through the hoops during a Quidditch match at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Corvallis.

Instead of two beaters, only one student took the position. They also used soccer balls as quaffles and attached hula hoops to the baseball diamond’s fence to serve as the goals.

The biggest difference?

Instead of using a palm-sized ball, one student served as the Golden Snitch each game, running throughout the entire park in a gold cape with a glove attached.

When one of the Seekers finally caught up after 20 minutes of running, he or she would have to pull the glove from the cape in order to end the game and receive the points.

The Gryffindor-Slytherin group won the first game; the students wondered aloud what to call the hybrid team.

“It’s Glytherin!” one shouted, and the others agreed.

“This is all student run,” Myers said as the students began to play the first game.

Though Sunday’s match was the students’ first attempt at Quid-

ditch, the 35-member club also hosts other Harry Potter-themed activities, including a recent wand-making party. Some club members even found recipes for a few of the book’s refreshments — including butterbeer and pumpkin juice — to bring to meetings.

Karina Azaryan, 16, missed the first two games because she was busy talking via Skype with her parents in Ukraine. An exchange student, Karina was excited to join the club, because there’s nothing of the sort at her school back home.

“My friends (in Ukraine) were so jealous,” she said.

She was ready to jump in for the third game.

“Who wants to take a break?”

Myers asked the group, gasping for breath after running for approximately 20 minutes. One handed Karina a broom as the group discussed how to reorganize the positions.

Moments later, they were all on the field again.

New Zealand: land of thrills, birthplace of bungee jumping A trip to discover why the country has spawned so many crazy ideas

By Ethan Todras-Whitehill New York Times News Service

Consider how the average adventure sport gets started: One person does something that seems to invite death — or at least mangling injury — like jumping off a bridge while attached to a rubber band or rolling down a hill in a giant hamster ball. A second, slightly saner person asks, “How can I make it so people can do this safely but still feel like they’re inviting death or mangling injury?” And hordes of young thrill-seekers come running.

In this scenario, chances are that at least one of those two people is living in New Zealand. Driven by an adventurous national spirit and blessed with an extraordinarily rugged landscape that calls to adrenaline addicts like a jungle gym calls to children, New Zealanders and visiting foreigners have pioneered an impressive range of commercial adventure activities over the past few decades. The list includes jet boating, Zorbing (that hamster ball), cave tubing (black-water rafting), Shweeb (monorail biking), river boarding, fly by wire, canyon swing and, most famously, bungee jumping.

As a result, New Zealand could fairly be called the frontier of adventure travel. And I wanted to understand why: why New Zealand, versus any other country blessed with mountains, lakes and rivers?

Nonprofit shelter for homeless and runaway youth will be beneficiary of inaugural Teen Aid concert

n 2009, Bend teen Nick McRoberts became homeless. His mother and stepfather had recently divorced; he’d quit his job at McDonald’s. The next thing he knew, “I was couch hopping,” he said during a recent interview at The Loft, the nonprofit

Cascade Youth & Family Center’s shelter for homeless and runaway youth, located on Century Drive on Bend’s west side.

Today an 18-year-old senior at Bend High, McRoberts says he spent a period sleeping on friends’ couches. Then his older brother Alex, who has since moved to Eugene, found him a place at The Loft.

“When I got here, (staff members) were like, ‘What can we do for you?’

The first and only thing, as of right then, was ‘I want to go to Bend High,’” McRoberts says.

The high school-age teens who live at The Loft usually go to Summit High, but staff at The Loft helped find him a place at Bend High, where his brother,

Nicholas “NT” Tyler, 18, a resident at Cascade Youth and Family Center’s Loft, smiles as another resident walks through with a toddler.

Tyler hopes to become a chef once he graduates from Summit High School. His specialty is curry.

whom he mentions often, had attended high school and he’d always wanted to.

“I most definitely would not have been able to do it by myself,” McRoberts says, adding later that he’s not sure he would have stayed in school without the help of The Loft and its staff members.

What to do about ‘Seriously Funny Kids’ puts Klum in the Cosby role pancake secret?

By Chuck Barney

“Blue Bloods” 10 p.m. Wednesday, CBS Making the most of its Wednesday-night tryout, “Blue Bloods” continues to spin some ratings gold. Tonight, a murder case has Danny delving into the world of the Russian mob.

Contra Costa Times

Dear Abby: One of my sistersin-law has a recipe for pancakes and puts in a secret ingredient.

She got the recipe from a relative who asked that the mystery never be revealed.

Well, the relative died recently, and I’d like to know what the ingredient is because those pancakes are out of this world! Would my sister-in-law be betraying his request by sharing the secret? She says she made a promise and is going to keep it. What do you think?

— Craving the Cakes in Florida Dear Craving: Obviously, you have raised this subject with your sister-in-law and she refused to share the complete recipe. From that, I can only conclude that she plans to take her knowledge of the secret to her grave with her.

What do I think? I think she’s acting selfishly because good food is meant to be enjoyed by as many people as possible.

P.S. If you really want to know what that secret ingredient is, you’ll have to smuggle one of her pancakes out and have it analyzed by a laboratory.

Dear Abby: I have a friend, “Dina,” whom I have known since we were in kindergarten. (We are in our early teens now.) Her mom was in jail when she was a very young girl because of drugs, and she abandoned Dina. Because of this, my mother won’t let me go to her house or let her come to ours.

Whenever Dina asks if we can hang out, I have to make up some excuse. She says, “You’re always busy.” I know it hurts her feelings when I go to other friends’ houses.

I know I need to respect my mother’s wishes, but maybe we can make an agreement. Can you help me?

— Dilemma With Dina in Southern California Dear Dilemma: I’ll try, but there are no guarantees that what I say will change your mother’s mind.

Blaming Dina for her mother’s mistakes is unfair to the girl. If your mother doesn’t want you

DEAR ABBY going to her house because she is afraid of “bad influences,” her concerns may be valid.

However, for her to come to your home and see what a functional family is like and learn the values you are being taught would benefit her greatly. And it would be no threat to you. And that’s why I hope your mother will find it in her heart to relent.

Dear Abby: I have an awesome relationship with “Jack.” He’s very attractive, polite, has a good job and is, basically, what I am looking for in a future husband.

My problem? Jack left his longtime girlfriend for me. So how do I know he isn’t going to do the same thing to me? He swears he would never do it, but what if he was telling her the same thing?

— Dazed and Confused, Missoula, Mont.

Dear Dazed and Confused: How old are you two? If you’re teenagers, then Jack may still have acres of wild oats to sow, and what happened to his former girlfriend could happen to you.

However, if you are older and mature, then surely you realize that men who are happy and satisfied in their relationships do not usually leave their girlfriends “for” someone. They leave because something they feel is important is missing.

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

“Post Mortem” 10 p.m. Tuesday, PBS On dramas like “CSI,” hightech sleuths are typically seen procuring evidence from the dead with the most sophisticated tools of 21st-century science. But an investigation by “Frontline” (in conjunction with NPR and ProPublica) found a very different reality: a flawed system in which there are few standards, little oversight, and the mistakes are literally buried. This fascinating hour reveals that, across the nation, autopsies are routinely conducted by doctors who lack certification and training, and that an increasing num-

ber of the 2.5 million Americans who die annually go to the grave without being examined at all.

The consequence? Potentially guilty prepetrators have gone free and innocent people have been accused of crimes they didn’t commit.

“Seriously Funny Kids” 9 p.m. Tuesday, Lifetime Heidi Klum leaves the runway behind to host “Seriously Funny Kids,” a series in which she elicits unfiltered observations from precocious children, a la Art Linkletter and Bill Cosby.

OSCARS

Analyzing the academy’s snubs, potential surprises

By Melena Ryzik New York Times News Service

PARK CITY, Utah — “Ten seems like an awful lot. We don’t want to take anyone else’s.”

That was the only statement offered by those willful outsiders, the Coen boys, after their movie “True Grit” picked up 10 Oscar nominations Tuesday, including those for best picture, best director and best adapted screenplay, an allotment that put the film, which had been largely ignored by other industry groups, near the top of the awards race. Jeff Bridges, who earned a best-actor nod for playing the eye-patched, mumbling drunkard Rooster Cogburn, offered a similarly succinct follow-up: “Yeehaw!”

Deadpan or not, the Coens’ strong showing did, of course, take someone else’s spot, and the Oscar punditocracy immediately moved in to figure out whose and why. Christopher Nolan, the director of “Inception,” was the glaring omission in the selection of best directors, especially since among its eight nominations that film made the big best picture list and he turned up for best original screenplay. This puts him at 0 for 2 with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; that his movie “The Dark Knight” was denied a spot in 2009 is one reason the group doubled the number of best-picture nominees, to 10, last year. And like David Fincher, a director nominee for “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” that same year, Nolan is considered a filmmaker who is past due for an Academy honor. But Fincher did get a nomination this year, for “The Social Network.” Burn — again! — for Nolan.

As it turns out, there’s a lot of

depth to a snub. With but a month to go until the little gold men are handed down from the Kodak Theater in Hollywood on Feb. 27, the coming weeks will bring a close examination, perhaps even a vivisection, of all the campaigning and cold shoulders on the awards circuit.

For example, “True Grit” did not receive any attention for its editing, a traditional bellwether for the eventual best-picture winner. That attention instead went to “127 Hours,” a surprise inclusion. That movie also earned a nod for best adapted screenplay, a satisfying acknowledgment for Simon Beaufoy and Danny Boyle, the writers, who labored to make their unconventional real-life story (about a hiker pinned by a boulder) work in a Hollywood context, even changing the ending at the last minute.

The Academy giveth, and it taketh away. Not quite a surprise, but one of the more startling inclusions, was the nomination of Hailee Steinfeld, the 14-year-old star of “True Grit,” as best supporting actress. As Mattie Ross, Steinfeld is in nearly every scene of the film, and from the moment of the premiere she has been called its breakout performer.

Why, movie buffs asked, was she not considered for best actress?

The answer is equal parts politicking and literature.

“This is my feeling about it, and it was also Joel and Ethan’s feeling about it — she’s not the protagonist, the protagonist is Rooster,” said Scott Rudin, one of the film’s producers. “It’s the redemption story of Rooster Cogburn. She’s there to support and catalyze his story. She’s the narrator.”

C OV ER S T ORY A jet boat zooms along the Shotover River near Queenstown.

Invented in 1954 by a Kiwi farmer named Bill Hamilton (later Sir William) as a way to travel up rocky rivers, jet boats at full speed can now traverse water as shallow as six inches.

Valid until March 17, 2011.

New Zealand Continued from C1 A hiker by disposition, I had come to the country to experience the landscape through the soles of my boots.

But between hikes, I planned to view the country from the end of a giant rubber cord, via the thrust of a powerful machine, and in the not-terribly-protective shell of a helmet and wet suit, all in a quest to find out what drives the people of this country to the ever-more-extreme.

So my wife, Jen, and I headed to Queenstown, the South Island town that Tripadvisor recently named the top adventure and outdoor destination in the world.

Queenstown is often described in guidebooks and on tourism websites as a “natural theme park” and “the adventure capital of the world.” Once you’ve been there, it’s hard to dispute the claim. It’s a less developed version of Aspen or Lake Placid, with about six main streets and a lakefront promenade. Every other store seems to sell either souvenirs of wool and wood or adventures in nylon and neoprene. A glut of hotels and hostels caters to the money-to-burn and need-to-earn crowds alike.

The kitsch and adventure peddlers have largely pushed out the charm, but who’s looking at the town? You’re in a cathedral of peaks, and Queenstown is just a pew. A remarkable saw blade ridge of granite (actually called the Remarkables) overhangs the village and the lightning-boltshaped Lake Wakatipu, on whose shore the town rests. Every adventure activity you’ve ever heard of is on offer (rafting, sky diving, mountain biking) and probably several you haven’t (snow-kiting, parapenting, white-water sledging). The adventure economy invades the town itself, with jet boats leaving from the lakefront and parachutes landing on the town’s rugby pitch.

Jet boating If Queenstown and its surroundings is indeed a natural theme park, then the jet boat was its first ride. Invented in 1954 by a Kiwi farmer named Bill Hamilton (later Sir William) as a way to travel up rocky rivers, jet boats at full speed can now traverse water as shallow as six inches. In the 1960s, a Christian youth camp on the shores of Lake Wakatipu began selling jet boat rides as a fundraising effort, an operation that eventually inspired imitators around the world.

The key to the jet boat’s appeal is its accessibility: Unlike most things you can do in Queenstown, it is just fine for the faint of heart — that is, if you don’t mind gallons of water rushing at you.

A tourist rides a canyon swing above the Shotover River near Queenstown, New Zealand.

From the booking station in the center of town, I took a shuttle out to the river and was quickly outfitted with a life vest and a spray jacket and ushered onto a red boat with seats for a dozen. Our driver whisked us upriver and down, threading our boat through a needle-eye of jagged cliff walls at absurdly high speed. Whenever the water was deep enough, he would throw the boat into a 360degree spin, whipping us by the cliffsides with a hair’s breadth of clearance, making the children on the boat (and their parents) squeal. The driver would pause occasionally to tell us about the area’s gold-mining history and let us enjoy the views of beech trees cascading down to stone walls cut at sharp angles like the teeth of a great stone shark. Then he would power the boat up to full speed and repeat.

It was good, wet fun, but ultimately too safe for my taste — safer, in fact, than our theoretically peaceful hikes. Avalanche Peak, for instance, on the northern end of the same spine of mountains on which Queenstown sits, is a steep, 3,000-foot climb in just over two miles, passing through beech forest hung with pale green lichen and then tussock grassland. At the ridge itself, we found a narrow blade of rock spiked with poles showing the way to the top. No railings were there to catch us if we slipped on the snow still covering the trail or lost our balance shimmying around an outcrop.

The summit was that much more satisfying for the risks taken; we must have stayed up there for hours, basking in the exclusive company of peaks into which our efforts had earned us entry, the stripes of snow on their slopes fanning out to the horizon in concentric waves, the euphoria entirely of our own creation.

Bungee origins The day after jet boating, I continued my quest to understand New Zealand’s adventure culture with the activity that had put the country on the adventure map:

bungee jumping. The roots of bungee, as every booking agent will tell you, are in Vanuatu, where, legend holds, a woman fleeing her abusive husband tied vines around her feet as she leapt from a banyan tree. She landed unharmed, but her husband, not noticing her use of the vines, jumped after her to his death. To this day, young men in the region duplicate the feat (with vines) as a test of manhood.

“We were both fairly into jumping off things,” said the bungee pioneer Henry Van Asch of his business partner AJ Hackett in the 1980s. They met through speed-skiing, which is essentially ski racing without turns. “AJ called me up and said he had ‘this rubber thing.’”

After seeing footage of the Vanuatu jumpers and Oxford University students who imitated them, Hackett and Van Asch became convinced that people would pay good money for a similar neardeath experience. With the help of Auckland University scientists, they developed a reliable latex rubber cord to absorb the shock of the fall and later a pulley system to bring the jumpers back up again.

The pair acquired a lease to fix up a 100-year-old bridge on the Kawarau River and started their first jump site in 1988. As word of the activity spread and media rushed to cover it, bungee jumping became the spark that rocketed Queenstown into the international tourism spotlight. They had 28 people on their first day; now the four New Zealand sites alone serve almost 100,000 people a year.

I paid my money, got my weight written on my hand in red marker, and waited my turn. A woman on the platform seemed ready to bolt; the bungee operators tried to talk her down (which, in a twist on normal crisis management, meant persuading her to jump), telling her to “go to her happy place.”

When my turn came, a man with a lip ring and a bandana wrapped my legs with a towel and a harness as Pantera and

Green Day played on speakers behind my head. I had agreed to be dunked in the river up to my shoulders, and I was just waddling to the edge of the platform when it occurred to me to ask: The bungee’s going to slow me down before I hit the river, right?

This isn’t going to hurt? The guy with the lip ring shrugged. “One way to find out, mate.”

Unexpectedly, fear took hold as I considered the river 141 feet below. But lip ring was counting down, and my wife (as well as passengers in a tour bus) was watching. So I dived, arms outstretched.

Blood, water and adrenaline flooded the pathways to my brain.

I vaguely remember reaching for a pole so I could be lowered into a raft, then nothing until I was hugging Jen back on the viewing platform.

Kiwi ingenuity To give my adrenal cortex a rest, we drove south to Fiordland, the national park south and west of Queenstown. From the town of Te Anau, we hiked the 37-mile Kepler Track, an alpine crossing between the shores of two lakes with gut-punch views of the park’s famous fjords and miles of fern-covered beech forest on either side. It was obvious that the landscape was a siren song that lured people to its beauty, but the question remained: Why did it inspire them to do such odd activities once there?

Henry Van Asch believes New Zealand’s confluence of innovation and adventure can be traced back to the two groups of people who colonized the country: the Maori who sailed thousands of miles on small boats in the 1200s and the European sealers, whalers, miners and, later, farmers of the 1800s. When exploration was no longer a part of daily life, it morphed into a leisure pursuit.

“Hillary climbed Everest in the ’50s, so climbing was big,” Van Asch told me. “But then a lot of the peaks got conquered, so people were just sort of forging out in all sorts of different directions to find new adventure.”

Jon Imhoof, an American who pioneered river surfing in New Zealand, had a similar take: “We have this American ingenuity.

They talk about Kiwi ingenuity — used to be most farmers could fix most anything with a bit of No. 8 chicken wire. The whole adventure tourism, a lot of the innovation is an offshoot of that.”

Van Asch’s reasoning was plausible, but Imhoof’s comparison brought up questions.

Paragliders fly over Lake Wakatipu in Queensland, New Zealand, which is often described in guidebooks and on tourism websites as a “natural theme park” and “the adventure capital of the world.”

A tourist bungee jumps in Queenstown.

The activity became an international sensation after a pair of Kiwi adventurers, with the help of Auckland University scientists, developed a reliable latex rubber cord to absorb the shock of the fall and later a pulley system to bring the jumpers back up again.

From previous page America’s national character, history and landscape resemble New Zealand’s, at least in the West. Why aren’t Americans out there thinking of new ways to jump off bridges?

Not all of New Zealand’s adventure activities have become as successful as jet boating and bungee jumping. Some ideas fall short of expectations, such as fly by wire, an invention of the artist/electrician/entrepreneur Neil Harrap that from 1997 to 2007 allowed an untrained person to take control of a small, uncovered aircraft and pilot it solo at 100 miles per hour around a pivot point. Harrap attributes his failure to a lack of marketing. “People don’t buy things anymore; they are sold things,” he said, while noting that he still fields calls from tourism operators looking to replicate the ride.

Yet others achieve a modicum of success, such as Zorbing, in which participants roll downhill in a giant inflatable globe. Started in the mid-’90s on the North Island, Zorbing quickly spread franchises to more than 20 countries, most of which are no longer operating. Still, the Zorb company sees 40,000 to 50,000 “globe riders” a year.

A marketing manager for the company, Andy Havill, thinks the innovative quality of Kiwi adventure tourism has more prosaic roots. “We don’t have as stringent insurance requirements, unlike the U.S. where you might be able to sue someone for anything,” he said.

“New Zealand is more lenient in that sense … it fosters that innovative spirit that you need for an adventure tourism operation.”

River surfing Later that week, I dived into the same river I had bungee jumped over to try my hand at one of these lesser-known activities: river surfing. It doesn’t seem so bright on paper: running Class III and IV rapids armed only with a helmet, wet suit and boogie board. But I wanted some real danger. Without really knowing quite what I was getting into, I — along with 10 other people — hopped into the water, practiced a few moves (pivot turns for control, barrel rolls for style) and swam out into the mercy of the Kawarau.

I didn’t fully grasp why the activity was called river “surfing” until we kicked our way through a fierce rapid to a narrow eddy alongside a cliff. Pausing to catch my breath, I looked out toward the churning white water and saw a guide hovering in the middle of the rapid as though suspended by a tow rope. He was actually “surfing” the standing wave, the water pushing him up while gravity pulled him back down.

Quite a number of people have run rivers with some type of board over the last 30 years, but Jon Imhoof believes that he started, in 1989, the first commercial operation taking tourists downriver on boogie boards. Imhoof was a surfer from Hawaii who ran hiking trips in New Zealand in the summer. He was missing the waves, so one day on a trip to the river he brought along a boogie board and discovered the magic of surfing a standing wave.

One by one, we swam back out into the white water to catch the wave next to the guide. As long as we kept the nose of the board up and in good position, we would hang motionless in the middle of a Class III rapid, liquid powering by

like a horizontal waterfall. It felt like water-skiing, only the water was moving and we weren’t. We finished up the day by running a Class IV, trying to duck under waves so burly that the water bruised my nose.

Call of adventure Our last hike was the Routeburn Track, but our timing coincided with one of those once-ina-season Fiordland storms that dumps a foot of rain in a couple of days. A van dropped us off at the start of the hike, and within 30 minutes, our Gore-Tex was soaked through. My hands quickly started to go numb, as I had stupidly forgotten my gloves.

But we never considered turning back; it felt like the sheer extremity of the environment was urging us on.

Surprisingly, it was while standing alone in the wilderness with only the rain rushing by that I finally understood the adventure pioneers’ inspiration: This country, with some of the most rugged terrain the planet has to offer, challenges you to test yourself against it. If you’re a speed demon like Hackett or Van Asch, you want to see how far and fast you can fall and still survive. If you’re an engineer and farmer like Bill Hamilton, you build something to conquer those shallow rivers crisscrossing your land. If you’re a surfer used to challenging Hawaiian breaks, the unmoving waves of the Kawarau might as well be taunting you.

And if you’re a hiker caught in a storm, you use a little Kiwi ingenuity. So I grabbed a spare pair of wool socks from my pack, tucked them onto my hands like mittens, and tramped on through the deluge.

For a good deal right in the center of Queenstown (and therefore on the lake), try the Novotel Queenstown Lakeside (Earl Street and Marine Parade; 64-3-442-7750; www.novotel .com); doubles from 179 New Zealand dollars or $141 at 1.26 New Zealand dollars to the U.S. dollar.

For a hotel with a little more character and personal flavor, try the Queenstown Park Hotel in the shadow of the gondola (21 Robins Road; 64-3-4418441; queenstownparkhotel .co.nz); doubles from $345.

Book ahead at the popular hostel called the Last Resort, in a converted brothel (64-3-4424320; www.tlrqtn.com); $30 a person.

In Wanaka, to live like a local, check out Clearbrook Motel & Serviced Apartments (64-3443-4413; clearbrook.co.nz); $155 a night for a studio.

WH A T T O D O The hikes and adventures in the region mostly operate out of Queenstown, with most companies shuttling you out of town and back as part of the service.

Shotover Jet is the only company to offer 360-degree spins (64-3-442-8570; shotoverjet.com; $119 a person for a 30-minute ride).

AJ Hackett Bungy is the bungee pioneer; the Queenstown options include the 141-foot Kawarau Bridge (said to be the world’s first bungee site) or the 154-foot Ledge (high above Queenstown), each for $180, or the 439-foot Nevis site for $260 (64-3-442-4007; bungy. co.nz).

Serious Fun has been doing river surfing the longest (64-3442-5262; riversurfing.co.nz; $162 for a half-day).

If you wish to hike the Kepler and Routeburn Tracks in the antipodean summer, book as far ahead as you can, especially around the winter holidays (64-3-249-8514; booking.doc.govt.nz). Huts are $51 a person a night.

Loft Continued from C1 When homeless or runaway Central Oregon youth find themselves ready to come in from the cold, they sometimes seek shelter at The Loft, operated by Cascade Youth & Family Center, a program of J Bar J Youth Services. The 15-bed residential facility opened in 2002 and serves as a temporary home for young people ranging in age from 17 to 21.

They go to The Loft after being referred there by their school, parent, the juvenile justice system or other community partners, says Mel Parker, operations manager.

The young people who live there for up to 24 months learn life skills and develop a plan for educational and employment goals with the help of a case manager. The goal is self-sufficiency, Parker says. “They can live here, and then we can transition them out into apartments … and we still work with them and case-manage them” as they move toward the independence and responsibilities of adulthood.

The Loft provides a free alternative to foster care, says Pat Gundy, program manager. The program is federally funded and also receives money from The United Way and the Deschutes County Commission on Children & Families, according to Parker.

On Feb. 10, Teen Aid, an inaugural benefit concert at The Old Stone in Bend (see “If you go”) will further benefit The Loft.

Musical performers include Five Pint Mary and Brent Allen, along with comedy from local improv troupe Triage.

‘Good vibes’ “Pretty much any kid you want to pull in the room and talk to, the resiliency in them is just amazing,” Gundy says. “It makes me think, ‘How good did I have it?’”

Gundy recalls that at the time he met McRoberts, “this family that had tried to help him for a long time, but was having problems of their own, brings him over here. I remember it like it was yesterday. We were all sit-

“If (you) need help, this is the first place you should go. It’s a great place to live … this place has helped me greatly with my schooling. When I first came here, I didn’t know what my GPA was. Now my GPA is pretty good.”

— Nicholas “NT” Tyler, Loft resident ting around this table, and it was so emotional, for him to trust us enough to even say, ‘OK, I’ll stay here for now.’ But (after) what he’d been through, this must have actually looked pretty good to him.”

Says McRoberts, “It wasn’t like I was scared to be here at all; it was just a good feeling, good vibes.”

His year at The Loft went well enough that he decided to spend the summer of 2010 living with a friend’s family. Once school rolled around, he decided to make permanent his transition out of The Loft.

Since, McRoberts has continued to thrive. Just a few weeks ago, he was crowned Winter Formal King at Bend High.

“I’m going to graduate when everybody else graduates; going to walk with the class,” he says.

Come summer, he plans to look for work, then move to Eugene in the fall to live with his brother.

“I want to try to become a teacher. I want to teach high school at Bend High,” he says.

“I’m thinking of teaching history or art or something that I know I can do that will keep me interested in teaching.”

However, he adds, he’s not very good at art. “I know how to draw a dinosaur, a unicorn and a narwhal,” he says, laughing.

“I tried drawing them, and they were the best things on earth.

So I just kept drawing them, and sooner or later, I forgot how to draw everything else I knew.

And stick figures, I’m good with those too. That’s about it.”

His fondest memories of The

Loft come from helping feed the homeless in Pioneer Park.

“When it was warm,” he says. “I wouldn’t do it when it was cold, because I just couldn’t deal with it.”

He credits his personal growth to the people at The Loft, both residents and staff such as Parker and Gundy.

“They were all just supergreat, super-nice,” he says.

Culinary aspirations Nicholas “NT” Tyler, 18, currently lives at The Loft, a building that formerly housed a youth hostel. He’s on track to graduate from Summit High this year, which will mark the first time someone from his family has graduated from high school, he says.

Tyler has been at The Loft almost three years, longer than the average stay.

“If (you) need help, this is the first place you should go,” he says. “It’s a great place to live … this place has helped me greatly with my schooling. When I first came here, I didn’t know what my GPA was. Now my GPA is pretty good.”

His goal is to become a chef. “I just like to cook food and stuff, and after the first time I tried curry, it just got me into it. Plus, I was also thinking of job opportunities, and cooking seemed the best idea on the market.”

Last year, program manager Gundy attended several high school graduations in one weekend, including those for students at Marshall, Summit and Bend High schools, he says. One of those students went on to a full academic scholarship at the University of Oregon.

“And then I have another young man who ended up graduating from Marshall,” Gundy says. The young man’s mother had been an exotic dancer in the Phillipines, and his American father wanted little to do with him.

Today, the young man is “living in Portland and working 9 to 5 in a warehouse, but for him, it’s an unimaginable success,” Gundy says. “Every one of them is pretty amazing.”

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011: This year, you will find that your strength lies behind the scenes.

Often, you will decide not to share as you have in the past. You will want more privacy in your life as you process and think about your career. You are transforming. If you are single, you meet people with ease, but use caution. The person you might choose for your sweetie could be emotionally unavailable.

If you are attached, the two of you as a couple need a lot of privacy to keep the embers exploding into flames. Don’t deny yourself.

CAPRICORN reads you cold.

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) HHHH You are feeling quite different than you have in the past few months. You handle the pressure and don’t hesitate to rethink a procedure if it doesn’t work. A parent or older relative lets you know just how much kick he or she has! Tonight: Count on your sense of humor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Hop in the car, breeze through the country and let your mind wander. Some of you might want to take off for the movies or to a flea market. Detachment helps you understand recent events. Your attitude and demeanor change.

Tonight: Put on some music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You benefit from one-

on-one contact with a loved one.

Certainly you don’t always agree, but understanding where each other is coming from is instrumental.

Someone’s anger covers a deep hurt, which needs addressing.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Defer to others. Allow yourself the freedom to pursue a creative idea, project or special relationship. Open up to new possibilities suggested by a respected friend or loved one.

Tonight: Enjoy the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH If you start thinking about how much you need to do in the next few weeks, you could get weighed down. Look to tight organization, efficiency and a limited amount of people with expertise involved. Still, if you can, kick back now.

Tonight: Make it easy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You might find yourself spinning quite a tale. Remember, this “story” is a direct reflection of your imagination. You also can delight a child or loved one with this ability. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live it up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Understand the role of your domestic life in nearly everything you do. For most people, home represents security. For you, it is your centering and base.

Consider a change that would make your home or office more comfortable. Tonight: Order in.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You have punch. Your

expressions, tone and words tell others that you are not kidding.

You need to communicate your boundaries in a discussion with a sibling or neighbor.

Tonight: Close to home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Be aware of what you are doing. You could be so spontaneous when dealing with a child or a loved one that you scarcely see a risk or problem heading in your direction. Don’t make any long-term decisions. You are likely to revise your budget.

Tonight: Balance your checkbook.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Your smile draws a strong reaction from a family member, loved one or roommate.

Realize what is going on within your immediate circle. Someone might be developing a devilmay-care attitude. Tonight: Make yourself happy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Take some much-needed personal time. You might need to do some thinking. You have been or will be very optimistic.

In time, you will prove the power of positive thinking. Go through a resistance, and eliminate it. Tonight: In your head.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You know what you want and where you are going.

Sometimes you don’t realize the impact of your words and actions.

Curb a tendency to be exuberant with money, specifically your funds! Take another look at a friendship. Tonight: Not alone. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Feeling a bit flabby, full-service gyms?

Lack of community, low-priced competitors are blamed

By Catherine Saint Louis New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — Is the gym passé?

It used to feel worthwhile to commit to an annual membership at an everything-and-the-kitchensink gym featuring high-spirited classes, top-of-the-line cardio machines, weights — and perhaps a shot at striking up a conversation with Ms. Lithe while sipping a post-workout smoothie.

But these days, the idea of a full-service gym is as stale as yesterday’s sweat-soaked towel.

Up to 45 percent of fitness-club members quit going in any given year, according to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association.

For all their ads promising to stir motivation, gyms have failed to do so.

“Up until the last six years, it’s been relatively easy to sell memberships, and to replace people going out the back door with people coming through the front door,” said Michael Scott Scudder, a consultant who advises health clubs and conducts up to 15 industry surveys annually. “Not so anymore. We’ve come to a point that we can’t sell enough membership in the industry to cover the attrition rate.”

Blame the gym’s now-ubiquitous flat-screen TVs and the fact that iPods are de rigueur, said Jonathan Fields, a marketing consultant in Manhattan who has helped found personal-training gyms and yoga studios.

“Now everybody’s plugged in,” Fields said. “In the ’70s, they came for community. Now they come in and disassociate themselves from everyone in the club. It’s killing the health club.”

Kitchen-sink gyms also face pressure from operations like Planet Fitness, a chain founded in 1992 that offers Cybex treadmills and weight machines, but which does not have Zumba classes or perks like towels — and charges $10 a month.

Will hands-off work?

Today’s consumers wonder why they should pay more for a so-called big-box gym when they can get the laissez-faire approach for less. Michael Grondahl, the chief executive of Planet Fitness, who recently eliminated personal training at his 406 franchises, does not believe that he is in the motivation business.

A staff trainer still offers 30-minute sessions for groups of five, but Grondahl said he does nothing to keep members coming.

“I can’t keep you motivated to do something you don’t want to,” he said.

Rich Boggs, a creator of the original step and the chief executive of Body Training Systems, which licenses group fitness classes to 700 clubs nationwide, said this hands-off model won’t work for people who aren’t selfstarters (which is to say: most of us).

“You can’t get the cheapest and the best at the same time, unless you know precisely what you want to do, you’re Equipment Guy and you don’t need any help,” he said.

But that is a fair description of Chanie Raykoff, a special educator who works out at Blink Fitness, a low-price spinoff of the cushy Equinox.

“I like to get in and out,” said Raykoff, at the NoHo branch on a recent Tuesday evening. “I do weights and cardio. I am not social.”

Indeed, conversation was sparse during an hourlong visit to the gym’s sleek workout floor.

Socializing, however, is key to long-term exercise success, said Terry Blachek, the president of International Consulting, which helps clubs improve member retention.

“We know you’ve got to engage the client,” Blachek said. “It’s got to be a challenge for them. And we know you’ve got to connect the client in a meaningful way to others.”

Blachek has some experience in this: He was the executive vice president at the once-chic fitness chain Crunch in the 1990s, when its novelty group workouts, like the Firefighter and Cycle Karaoke, were the rage.

“Those classes were the claim to fame for Crunch,” he said.

“They connected clients to their peers.”

These days, “loyalty has dropped dramatically,” said Casey Conrad, a consultant with 25 years in the fitness industry.

One reason: A decade ago, fullservice gyms didn’t offer today’s “unbundled” memberships that

(By contrast, YogaWorks, the national chain of studios, employs yoga advisers for newbies.)

Miramont Lifestyle Fitness, with three branches in Fort Collins, Colo., is trying, offering an eight-week learn-to-exercise course for $179. And some lowprice gyms give a nod to social connection: Blink Fitness has a so-called “front porch” at its gyms designed by architect David Rockwell, “where people could congregate and create a sense of community,” said Dos Condon, the vice president of Blink.

“I don’t see that working,” Scudder said, implying that design elements are incidental.

Dori Manela, 27, who does social-media work for a real estate company, doesn’t believe that gorgeous design helped her get fit. She quit the luxury gym at the Sports Club/LA on the Upper East Side, which she lives a door away from, after Core Fusion classes at Exhale Spa gave her muscles she’d long coveted (and the first two months free).

“I was paying a lot for a pretty space,” said Manela, who found it

hard to trudge next door to spin at the Sports Club and yet now rides the subway to do Core Fusion four times a week.

(She blogs and even posts messages on Twitter about keeping her “exercise mojo” alive.)

Despite such defections, Boggs of Body Training Systems thinks the classic gym has a chance at survival.

“The consumer can, and will, change it by the way they spend their money,” he said. “You need to say: ‘I need help. I am going to make you prove you’ll give it to me.’”

Ask for a month of membership free, he suggested, or for fitness evaluations to track progress.

Scudder suggested asking what the club does to retain members in the crucial first 30 days. Newmember meet-up, anyone? He said if they don’t have a satisfactory answer, leave.

Only 15 percent of the U.S. population belongs to gyms, Boggs said.

“When you’ve got 85 percent saying ‘I don’t think so,’ we’ve got to recalibrate what we’re doing.”

JUMBLE IS ON C7

Brandon Thibodeaux / New York Times News Service

Trainer Cory Pickert, right, instructs members during a pay-by-the-class training session earlier this month at the OrangeTheory fitness and wellness center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Some frustrated fitness club members are attracted to the pay-by-the-class model, finding it more motivating. let consumers choose what perks to pay for. Some fitness seekers have been trying an a la carte approach, taking specialized pay-as-you-go classes like those offered by the stationary-cycling competitors Flywheel Sports and SoulCycle, or Core Fusion at the Exhale Spa, rather than committing to a gym membership.

“You can do whatever suits your fancy when it does,” said Jessica Underhill, a personal trainer who writes the blog Fit Chick in the City, referring to the pay-per-class approach.

She tried so many studio classes in 2010 that she thought she had “exercise ADD” but came to favor the Bar Method, a bodysculpting class held at studios from Manhattan to Marina del Rey, Calif., because, she said, instructors rattle off names as they offer corrections and make her feel as if she is a part of something.

“They acknowledge that you are a consumer and are friendly at the same time,” Underhill said. “It doesn’t feel stale or super crisp and clean. It’s about connection.”

And no one is going to turn into a lifer akin to Jack LaLanne, the fitness pioneer who died this week, without a reason to work past the aches and drudgery of exercise.

“There’s no question that the social element is a huge, huge piece to getting participation,” Conrad said. “I travel a lot, and

when I miss yoga class, they are like, ‘Casey, where have you been?’”

Paying by the class Nancy Pusateri, 40, a smallbusiness owner from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who has attended small-group training offered by a company called OrangeTheory for about a year, said she finds paying per class more motivating than a monthly membership.

“I go because I want to go, not because I’ve paid for it or feel obligated,” she said, adding, “I love that I’m only competing against myself.”

An hourlong session of OrangeTheory, which has three franchises and is planning national expansion, includes treadmill speed work, indoor rowing, weights and core-strengthening suspension straps. Ellen Latham, a founder and an exercise physiologist, said the ever-evolving workout, which costs $14 to $20 a session, is designed for gym dropouts frustrated by lackluster results.

“After six weeks of doing the same workout, your body has plateaued,” Latham said. “People keep coming back because they aren’t plateauing.”

Many, even go-getters, see their results leveling off at the gym.

Theodora Blanchfield, 27, a socialmedia specialist for magazines, used to go to New York Sports Club four times a week.

“I knew how to go to the gym,

but not how to work out hard enough to lose 50 pounds,” she said.

Blanchfield eventually hired a personal trainer at $80 a session for a year, and learned the transformative effect of progressively harder weight lifting. She no longer sees the trainer but consistently mixes up her workouts between outdoor running, 30/60/90 interval-training classes at Equinox and a marathon boot camp with Pace4Success.

“I want to make sure to stay interested,” said Blanchfield, who chronicled how she shed 50 pounds on her blog.

Historically, “People who take personal training and do group fitness classes are more likely to stick with a gym,” said Tony Santomauro, a fitness consultant with 35 years of industry experience.

But too often health clubs don’t understand they “should be a support system for people,” said Scudder, the health club adviser.

“It’s merely four walls to come in, work out and leave.”

Only a fifth of gym members take part in group fitness on average industry-wide, said Conrad, adding that these days instead of packing in more cardio machines, “good-quality health clubs are returning to emphasizing group exercise.”

Scudder said that a sixth of health-club members participate in group fitness and marveled that clubs often fail to guide newcomers to classes that might appeal.

NBA

Icy marathon: Ordinary competitors, extraordinary conditions

PREP SPORTS

Grizzlies’ Mayo says ‘energy drink’ led to positive test result MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo says he believes an “energy drink” he bought at a gas station contained the substance that led to his 10game suspension for violating the NBA’s drug policy.

Mayo was jovial and smiling as he spoke about his suspension for the first time Saturday before the Grizzlies’ game against the Washington Wizards, taking questions from reporters on the team’s practice court.

But he wouldn’t get too specific.

“I didn’t know it had any bad substances in it, and it caused a 10-game suspension,” Mayo said. “It’s not like I went to a GNC and got some Muscle Armor or ordered some supplement off the Internet or anything.

It was just a local gas station that kind of got me hemmed up.”

The NBA suspended Mayo on Thursday for testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), which is on the league’s list of banned performance-enhancing drugs. His suspension started Friday night at Philadelphia, and he will be eligible to return Feb. 15, also against the 76ers in Memphis.

Mayo spoke and then had to leave the arena at least two hours before tipoff. The Grizzlies were holding O.J. Mayo bobblehead night in honor of the No. 3 pick overall in the 2008 draft.

Celtics, Lakers meet in finals rematch EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The NBA finals seemed to go on forever last summer, stretching through seven games over two weeks until the exhausted Los Angeles Lakers finally edged the injury-depleted Boston Celtics with their last gasp in the final quarter.

After seven months to recover, the rivals finally are ready to go at each other again.

When they meet today on the same Staples Center court where the Lakers won their 16th title and denied the Celtics their 18th, their epic shared history always looms in the background. They’ve won more than half of the NBA’s total championships and met in 12 NBA finals, including two of the past three.

The franchises’ generational animosity has been rekindled, as anybody could tell last June. Just don’t expect them to acknowledge it in late January.

“Playing them doesn’t really bring up anything extra,” Lakers point guard Derek Fisher said with a shrug.

Yet the unfriendliness of this rivalry manifests itself in weird, subtle ways: According to a widespread Internet rumor backed up by photos from the manufacturer, Kevin Garnett is expected to wear a special pair of green, suedecovered shoes with “152-120” embroidered on the tongue.

That’s the Celtics’ overall winning record against the Lakers.

The Celtics, who flew into Los Angeles late Saturday, still lead the Eastern Conference at 35-11, while the Lakers are comfortably in second place in the West at 33-14, well behind overall NBA leader San Antonio.

Bend High School wrestler Kenny Dailey was in and out of juvenile detention in middle school. Football and wrestling programs have helped him redirect his life.

“It was easy to channel that energy into wrestling. When I was mad, I could feel myself working harder in practice. I wasn’t necessarily mean or aggressive against people in wrestling, but I was focused and working harder.”

Wrestling with life

— Bend High wrestler Kenny Dailey, talking about taking up the sport in middle school

After a troubled childhood, Bend High’s Kenny Dailey used sports to turn things around

Editor’s note: This is the first installment of a two-part series about Bend High junior Kenny Dailey. A troubled youth in middle school — he had been arrested four times before he even started high school — Dailey cleaned up his act after joining the Pilot Butte Middle School wrestling team as an eighth-grader and the Bend High football program as a freshman.

This is his story, one not without its share of setbacks. Dailey has risen above an impoverished past and a chaotic home life to become not only a standout athlete with a bright future, but also a responsible and law-abiding citizen.

S

ometimes when things are going a little too smoothly, Kenny Dailey reflects back on how far he has come.

The Bend High junior reminds himself that he is just three years removed

BEAU EA STES from his last arrest.

That his time in the Deschutes County Juvenile Detention Center was not that long ago.

That one more fight would likely send him to jail and almost certainly end his promising career as a high school football player and wrestler.

“In a snap of a finger, all this could be gone,” says Dailey, 17, who, despite an impoverished childhood checkered by periods of homelessness and marred by episodes of violence, is now a standout athlete for the Lava Bears.

Lava Bears sweep titles at City of Bend Invitational Bulletin staff report Bend High swept both the boys and girls competitions Saturday at the City of Bend Invitational swim meet at Juniper Swim & Fitness Center.

The Bend boys cruised to their victory, besting runner-up Mountain View by 66 points, 178-112.

The Lava Bear girls posted a narrow win over Summit, 188-170. Bend High also won the combined team standings, 366-281, over the Storm.

Mountain View placed third and Madras fourth in the combined boys and girls team totals.

Lava Bear junior Doug Steinhauff came up big for Bend High in the boys meet, claiming individual victories in the 50-yard freestyle (22.46 seconds) and the 100 breaststroke (1 minute and 3.45 seconds). Steinhauff also anchored Bend’s winning 200-yard freestyle relay team (1:35.53).

Mountain View freshman Brandon Deckard shined for the Cougars. Deckard won a pair of events, the 200 freestyle (1:46.98) and the 100 butterfly (54.86), and was part of the Cougars’ winning 200-yard medley relay team (1:47.34).

In one of the day’s more competitive events, Bend’s Joshua DeCelles won a closely contested

100 freestyle race in 55.65 seconds, edging out Kodiak Arndt of Mountain View (55.99) by less than four-tenths of a second. The Lava Bear senior also finished second in the 200 individual medley. The lone individual champ for Madras was Dustin Henderson, who won the 500 freestyle in 5:28.5, which was more than 30 seconds ahead of runner-up Aaron St. John (6:03.6), also of Madras. The White Buffaloes also recorded a win in the boys 400 freestyle relay (3:45.69).

The only girl to win a pair of individual events Saturday was Phoebe Weedman, another impressive freshman from Mountain View, who claimed the 200 freestyle (2:04.55) and the 500 freestyle (5:42.19). Bend High’s Jennifer Tornay won the 100 butterfly (1:08.51) and also finished third in the 100 backstroke. Brandon Deckard’s older sister, Mountain View senior Kaitlyn, was a winner in the 200 individual medley (2:29.49) and her 400-yard freestyle relay team finished second to event winner Summit.

Madi Brewer of the Storm won the closest race of the girls’ competition, beating teammate Suzy Foster in the 100 breaststroke by less than a tenth of a second.

McMURDO STATION, Antarctica — A hulking orange allterrain bus emblazoned with the words Ivan the Terra Bus rumbled to the starting line of the 13th annual McMurdo Marathon, and 17 runners and six skiers stepped onto the ice shelf. On this Sunday morning, Jan. 16, the temperature was a balmy 28 degrees, with a nearly cloudless sky and a strong sun.

“Looks like a perfect day for running in Antarctica,” said Roger John, who identified himself as the day’s oldest racer at “69 and a half.”

“This is one of the few places in the world the average person can’t come to,” said John, a retired director of the public housing authority in Peoria, Ill. He works in the vehicle-maintenance department of the American scientific research base, and heads its runners club. “You take whatever job you can reasonably do just to get here.”

Running the McMurdo Marathon to say you did it may be its primary draw. It is a decidedly noncompetitive race that attracts biologists and dishwashers, Air Force personnel and weather observers — a cross-section of the McMurdo summer community and a smattering of more remote American research outposts on the continent — to the Ross Sea ice shelf. The race is the world’s second-most-southern marathon, eclipsed by the Antarctic Ice Marathon, an annual event at the foot of the Ellsworth Mountains about 1,000 nautical miles away.

Gracie Sorbello, 27, affixed neon green plastic grips to the soles of her running shoes. Another runner admired her hotpink-and-black zebra-patterned Lycra shorts.

“You look good, you feel good, you run good,” said Sorbello, a native of Davis, Calif., who is the first woman to ride a unicycle across the United States, and the only person to traverse the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico on a unicycle.

Before the race began around 9:40 a.m., Jamie Brock of McMurdo’s recreation department, which organized the race, announced: “Hey, if you guys have to go to the bathroom, please use the pee bottles. We’re here to protect Mother Nature.”

The runners and Nordic skiers set off on the groomed track across an ice slab the size of Spain, soon becoming a trail of faint dark specks against a backdrop of white mountains. At three miles, the racers reached the first aid station.

Haas, Mickelson tied in San Diego

Gregory Bull / The Associated Press

Bill Haas putts for birdie on the 17th hole of the South Course at Torrey Pines during the third round of the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego on Saturday. Haas is tied with Phil Mickelson for the lead heading into today’s final round.

SAN DIEGO — Phil Mickelson found the trick to playing the revamped South Course at Torrey Pines and left himself one round away from winning on a course that once felt like home.

Going against his nature, Mickelson played it safe again Saturday and wound up with a 4-under 68 to share the lead with Bill Haas going into the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open. Haas missed a 4foot putt par putt on the last hole for a 71.

It has been 10 years since Mickelson won his third title at Torrey Pines, a public course he grew up playing in San Diego.

“I love playing well in this tournament, and I’ve missed it,” Mickelson said.

Tiger Woods, who has not lost a tournament at Torrey Pines since 2004, shot himself out of the tournament with careless mistakes.

Woods had a 2-over 74, ending his streak of 21 rounds at par or better on the South Course in PGA Tour events. He was eight shots behind, his largest 54-hole deficit at Torrey since 2004.

Even with his longtime nemesis out of the way, Mickelson doesn’t

see an easy path to winning.

Haas is coming off a two-win season in 2010, and lost in a playoff a week ago at the Bob Hope Classic. He kept making enough birdies to stay in front of Mickelson, including a 25-foot putt on the 15th, the toughest on the course.

They were at 12-under 204.

Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson each made eagle on the par-5 18th to shoot 69 and were one shot behind. Another shot back was Anthony Kim, showing signs of turning around his game. Kim escaped with only a bogey on the 15th after an adventure through the eucalyptus trees, and birdied the 18th for a 71.

John Daly, who pulled within one shot of the lead early in the third round, fell apart with a string of bogeys and shot 76.

Mickelson has taken every opportunity to criticize the South Course since Rees Jones redesigned it ahead of the 2008 U.S. Open. Lefty has yet to finish higher than fourth since then.

This time, Mickelson decided not to go for broke.

“I’m not taking on the risk. I’m just playing it much more conservative because the reward isn’t there,” he said. “This course doesn’t reward

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

OREGON MEN’S BASKETBALL

Stanford rolls to win over OSU The Associated Press STANFORD, Calif. — Freshman Anthony Brown celebrated his first career start the best way he knew — by scoring a lot of points.

Brown scored a season-high 21 points, helping Stanford avoid its longest losing streak in 18 years in beating Oregon State 70-56 on Saturday night.

Josh Owens added 14 points for the Cardinal (11-9, 4-5 Pac-10), who ended a four-game losing streak, matching its longest slide since a five-game streak in 1993.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve gotten a win,” Brown said. “I wanted to be the spark plug. I wanted to get the team going from the get-go. It was a lot of fun.”

Freshman Ahmad Starks scored a season-high 17 points to lead the Beavers (8-12, 3-6), who lost their sixth straight road game. Jared Cunningham, Oregon State’s leading scorer, was held to a season-low one point before fouling out.

“This is one of the best games we’ve had in regards to making connecting plays,” Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. “Anthony gave us a big lift starting the game off for us. He’s earned a second start.”

Stanford blew an early 11-point advantage, but was able to build on its slim halftime lead to win going away.

“It looked like because we were missing so many point-blank shots they were getting runouts,” Oregon State coach Craig Robinson said.

“We were trying to hit the boards and were pressing to make those shots, and that led to easy stuff up the court.”

Jeremy Green, limited to six points, hit a jumper with 5:27 remaining to play to give the Cardinal a 60-50 lead.

Green has been held to single-digit scoring in five of his 20 games.

“It’s good to see that we’re a team,” Dawkins said. “Jeremy has been getting a lot of attention from other teams, and that’s a testament to what he did last year. He’ll be just fine.”

Stanford led at halftime 31-30.

Oregon State, which leads the nation in steals, nearly matched their season average with 10 against Stanford. The Beavers entered play averaging 10.32 per contest.

Brown was 13 of 27 from long range over his last five games before missing the last four he attempted.

NBA ROUNDUP

SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs are the NBA’s first team to 40 wins, and got there faster than the four-time champions ever have before.

Maybe three weeks on the road will make things more challenging.

Manu Ginobili scored 22 points and the Spurs hit 40 victories by winning their 18th in a row at home, beating the Houston Rockets 108-95 on Saturday night.

“I’m just speechless right now,” said Spurs center DeJuan Blair, who had 14 points and 12 rebounds. “Because it’s just such an honor to be on this team, on this quest for greatness, and we’ve just got to keep it going.”

Richard Jefferson added 18 points in what was San Antonio’s last game at the AT&T Center for three weeks. The Spurs (40-7) embark on their annual Rodeo Road Trip starting Tuesday, testing the NBA’s best record against nine straight road games.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has traditionally used the trip as a distraction-free chance to work out the kinks. But with the NBA’s best record, the Spurs have few obvious faults — and are so far ahead in the Southwest Division (9 games) that they could lose every game on the trip and still be at the top.

Luis Scola led the Rockets with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Houston trailed just 76-71 after the third quarter before being buried by a flurry of 3s, and finished the game looking winded a night after nearly overcoming a 25-point deficit in a loss to Dallas.

“They don’t beat themselves,” Rockets forward Shane Battier said. “We were right there with them for a half. We played pretty good basketball, then we had that lull where we couldn’t answer their 3s and their big shots that created separation.”

Houston has lost four of six.

San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker, left, passes around Houston Rockets’ Jordan Hill (27) during the second quarter of Saturday’s game in San Antonio. the first time in his career, had 12 points and seven rebounds as every Spurs starter was in double figures. Fans didn’t vote in Duncan as an All-Star starter for the first time in 11 seasons, and he must wait this week to see whether coaches vote him in as a reserve.

Blair’s double-double was his eighth this season. Tony Parker added 17 points and George Hill had 14 as the Spurs moved two wins from tying the franchise record of 20 straight home wins, set during the 1989-90 season.

“You keep competing, executing and trying to improve,” Popovich said. “It doesn’t matter if you have the best record or the worst record.”

Kyle Lowry had 15 points for the Rockets. Houston’s road trip won’t get any easier: the Rockets head to Los Angeles on Tuesday to play the Lakers, then finish another back-to-back Wednesday at Utah.

BERKELEY, Calif. — California finished the first half of Pac-10 play in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season with a winning record.

Markhuri Sanders-Frison and Allen Crabbe scored 18 points apiece to help California win its third straight conference game and deny Oregon a rare Bay Area sweep with an 85-77 victory on Saturday.

“We’re just building up confidence,” Crabbe said. “We know we’re a young team.

But we know we can compete with anybody in the Pac-10.

This was a great week for us.”

Jorge Gutierrez added 17 Next up points despite a 2-for-11 shoot• Washington ing performance, and Harper State at Kamp scored 13 for the Golden Oregon Bears (12-9, 5-4), who are on their longest winning streak • When: since starting the season 3-0.

Thursday, After losing Pac-10 Player 6 p.m. of the Year Jerome Randle, Patrick Christopher, Theo Robertson and Jamal Boykin from the team that won the regular season conference title a year ago, coach Mike Montgomery’s squad lost four of six to open the conference season before finding its way the past eight days.

The Bears will look to extend their winning streak with another set of home games next weekend against Arizona State and Arizona.

“It shows that we have matured a lot,” Sanders-Frison said. “We’ve played 21 games and come a long way. I give a lot of props to our young players and coaching staff for helping us out. We’re a very young team. It shows that we have matured as a team.”

The Ducks (10-11, 3-6), fresh off their first win at Stanford in 25 years, were looking to pull off their first sweep in the Bay Area since February 1976.

They got 22 points from Joevan Catron, 16 from Malcolm Armstead and 14 from Tyrone Nared, but were unable to pull off the trick. They fell behind by 18 points in the first half and lost for the 10th time in their last 11 trips to Haas Pavilion.

“We didn’t have them ready to play and they shot the heck out of it, but I just thought our energy level was really bad,” coach Dana Altman said. “I don’t know if we were still patting ourselves on the back for the other night or what, but we really weren’t sharp at the start of the game. I told the guys the game started at 3 and we showed up at 3:30.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Culver wrestling finishes fourth at Reser’s tourney Bulletin staff report HILLSBORO — Wrestling in arguably the toughest tournament in the state, Class 2A Culver finished fourth out of 24 teams at the two-day Reser’s Tournament of Champions at Liberty High School.

Reigning Class 6A state champion Roseburg won the tournament with 181 points, topping defending Class 5A state champion Hermiston, which placed second with 170 points. Class 6A Sprague of Salem finished third with 114 points, followed by the Bulldogs, who recorded 112 points. Central Oregon schools Redmond and Crook County placed fifth and 15th, respectively.

“I think on a whole 2A wrestling was represented pretty well,” said Culver coach J.D. Alley, who also pointed out the success of Reedsport (12th) and Lowell (14th), the two teams who will likely present the Bulldogs with their biggest challenges at next month’s Class 2A/1A state tournament.

Culver sophomore Jared Kasch led the way for the Bulldogs with a runner-up finish at 112 pounds.

Kasch, who won the 2A/1A state title at 103 pounds last year, went 3-1 during the tournament, which included a 5-3 victory over Redmond’s Ryan Haney, the 2010 Class 6A 103-pound state champion, in Saturday’s semifinal round. Kasch’s only loss of the tourney was in the 112 final to Sweet Home’s Colton Schilling.

“He’s a great competitor in a big-money match,” Alley said about Kasch. “It’s tough to bet against him.”

Culver junior Jesus Retano placed third at 145 pounds for the Bulldogs, falling in the semifinals to the eventual champion, Abraham Rodriguez of Hermiston, before winning a pair of consolation matches.

“He came up big for us,” Alley said about Retano rebounding in the consolation matches. “He got a fall (worth six team points) in the third period of his third-place match against a pretty good North Medford kid with the score tied 0-0.”

Josue Gonzalez (119 pounds, fourth), Ryan Kasch (125, sixth) and Justin Hendrix (215, sixth) all placed for the Bulldogs.

Redmond sophomore Chance Lindquist recorded Central Oregon’s lone champion at the tournament. Lindquist defeated Robert Barton of Sprague 5-0 in the 119-pound finals to pace the Panthers. Haney (112, fifth) and Zack Rystedt (130, sixth) also placed for Redmond.

Crook County also ended the tournament on a strong note as three Cowboys finished the meet with wins. McKennan Buckner (119) and Travis Wilson (152) both won third-place matches and Trevor Ough (171) posted a victory in his fifth-place match.

In other prep events Saturday: BOYS BASKETBALL Redmond . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .67 Grant . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .64 REDMOND — The Panthers trailed the Generals of Portland after each of the first three quarters in a Class 6A Special District 1 game, but rallied to victory in the final period. With Redmond up by a point and less than four seconds to go in the game, senior Tanner Pies was fouled and hit both free throws to secure the home victory. “I’m extremely proud of the resiliency of our kids,” said Panthers coach Dusty Porter. “We played the best basketball of our season this week.

I’m really proud of them.” Brad Carter had a game-high 21 points for Redmond and Pies and Connor Lau both scored 14. “Total team win tonight,” Porter added.

The Panthers (1-1 SD1, 7-10 overall) play another Special District game at Portland’s Lincoln High on Tuesday.

Crook County . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 Marshall . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 PRINEVILLE — Crook County bested Portland’s Marshall High in the final seconds of play in the Class 4A Special District 1 matchup when Cowboy guard Jordan Reeher sank one of his two free throws to give the home team a 50-49 lead.

Kim Clijsters celebrates after beating Li Na during the women’s singles final at the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia, on Saturday.

TENNIS

Clijsters beats Li, wins first Australian Open

By John Pye The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Kim Clijsters believes she’s now earned the nickname she had for years in Australia.

“I finally feel like you guys can call me ‘Aussie Kim’ because I won the title,” a teary Clijsters said after beating China’s Li Na 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 Saturday night to capture her first Australian Open. “It’s nice to finally get it this year.”

Clijsters lost the 2004 Australian Open final to Justine Henin and lost four times in the semifinals. This was Clijsters’ fourth Grand Slam tournament championship, but the first apart from the U.S. Open.

“To win it in this way means a lot,” she told a TV interviewer after the match. “This one to me, is the one. When I think back on my childhood, I remember watching the Australian Open and seeing Monica Seles win many times. I think they used to go up into the stands. I remember her doing her speech there, and it was something that I was just amazed by. It seemed like such a fairy tale.”

Li was trying to become the first Asian to win a major, and the final was far from a smooth ride. She complained to the chair umpire about the Chinese fans and was bothered by photographers’ flashes in the courtside pits. The outbursts from all over the arena were jarring.

“They shouted ‘finish her off!’ sometimes even when we were hitting the ball,” Li said through a translator. “I thought, ‘How can they do this?’ ” In doubles, Bob and Mike

Bryan successfully defended their title, beating Indian stars Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi 6-3, 6-4 for their fifth Australian crown and 10th Grand Slam championship.

Clijsters started convincingly, winning the first eight points for a 2-0 lead. Then Li rallied.

She got her forehand working and fired winners with her twohanded backhand.

Clijsters looked unsettled, dropping serve four straight times. She then decided to mix it up after Li won the first set and took a 3-2 lead in the second. That’s when Li’s game started to fold. Perhaps the pressure of being the first Chinese in a Grand Slam final was getting to her.

Li reached the Australian semifinals last year, taking eventual champion Serena Williams to two tiebreak sets. She rallied from 0-5 down in the first set to win the Sydney International final over Clijsters in a warmup tournament two weeks ago. This time was clearly different.

Clijsters sensed Li was getting upset with Chinese spectators late in the second set. In the third, Li asked chair umpire Alison Lang to intervene, saying: “Can you tell the Chinese, don’t teach me how to play tennis?”

Lang asked the crowd for quiet — twice. It didn’t work.

Li became increasingly rattled. After she held for 3-2 in the second set, Clijsters upped the ante, winning he next three games to regain control. In the third set, Clijsters broke to lead 4-1, and the match was all but over.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Sidney Crosby is hardly the only NHL player felled by a concussion this season. In fact, he has a lot of unwanted company.

The NHL board of governors received a detailed preliminary report Saturday during All-Star weekend that shows the number of concussions is trending up. What might be surprising is that the culprit appears to be accidental hits and not illegal blows to the head.

“We’ve seen players suffer concussions this season when they’ve stumbled into the boards or other players without any contact at all,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said. “We’ve seen players suffer concussions when struck by pucks in the head, we’ve seen players concussed when they collide with teammates, and when they were hit legally and without head contact after which their heads have struck either the ice or the boards or the glass.

“The biggest increase in instances of concussions this season and the biggest increase in man-games lost, is from these types of so-called accidental or inadvertent contact.”

There are already signs that a rule banning lateral, blindside hits to the head — in its first full season — is working.

The debate is about whether

• TV: VS. network

it goes far enough. Some are pushing for all contact to the head, intended or accidental, to be ruled illegal.

Others worry that hitting, a major and popular part of hockey, will be cut down to unnecessary and unwanted levels.

“The objective was to review what we have done and what we are doing to assess a variety of factors and determine how best to continue our ongoing effort to manage, reduce and, whenever possible, to find ways to prevent instances in which concussions occur,” Bettman said.

The next step will come in March when the league’s 30 general managers meet again.

They will review all information and see if more needs to be done in an attempt to reduce concussions by proposing new rules. The general managers came up with the current headshot ban — rule 48 — that went into effect shortly before last year’s playoffs.

Bettman declined to reveal any numbers regarding concussions sustained this season or what percentage they have risen to.

By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

A

ntonio Cromartie will never be invited to a bargaining table, which is probably best for both him and his fellow players. Still, the Jets’ cornerback may have offered up the most concise, if profanity filled, description of the looming labor dispute that will soon hit football fans everywhere like a giant Super Bowl hangover.

“You’ve got our head union reps acting like an (expletive), and they got their guys acting like them (expletive),” Cromartie said earlier this week.

Not exactly the deepest of thoughts, though a lot of fans surely feel the same way. They want to know they’ll be seeing football next season instead of listening to the league and the players’ union argue over percentages and guarantees and who knows what as they try to hash out a new contract to share the riches both already enjoy.

Millionaires against billionaires. Tough to pick a side in this one no matter who is doing the arguing.

League executives had to be high-fiving each other after Cromartie’s comments at the thought the players may not be as united in their cause as the union suggests. That may or may not be true, though Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck found out it’s not wise to throw in Cromartie’s direction when he suggested in a tweet that Cromartie didn’t know what a CBA (collective bargaining agreement) is.

“Don’t erase it,” Cromartie said in a responding tweet. “I will smash ur face in.”

If you think things are starting to get ugly, just wait. The clock is starting to tick even more quickly, and both sides are digging in for a battle that seems to have no chance of ending well.

More evidence of that came Thursday, during a week in which traditionally everyone has a chance to catch his breath before the hype machine shifts into another gear for the Super Bowl.

At what should be a time of celebration, the NFL used the opportunity to spread its message of gloom and doom. With barely a week to go before two old school teams meet in Jerry Jones’ new palace, a half dozen league executives invited reporters in to remind them that the game could be the last one in the NFL for quite some time unless players come to the table prepared to make concessions.

The billionaires believe they gave the farm away five years ago when they caved in to an agreement with the millionaires in Paul Tagliabue’s last big act as commissioner. They seem

determined to get it back, no matter what the cost.

“We’ve said we don’t have anyone to blame but ourselves,” said Jeff Pash, the league’s chief negotiator. “But it’s not an agreement that has worked out in a satisfactory way and so rather than kick the can down the road another four or five years, let’s figure out how we can get a system in place that will be positive for players and positive for clubs.”

Translated, that means the billionaires want even more billions. And the best way to get them is to take some of the millions away from players who currently are guaranteed nearly 60 percent of the league’s $9 billion annual revenue after owners take the first $1 billion.

The union, of course, is quite happy with things the way they are. About the only major thing players want that they don’t have is guaranteed contracts, and NFL owners would rather give up and fold the league rather than agree to that.

Union President Kevin Mawae admitted as much this week in comments to Sirius Radio that he may come to regret.

“I think what really happened is in 2006 we got such a great deal,” Mawae said. “I mean, the players got a good deal and the owners felt they got it handed to them and it’s kind of a revenge factor, ‘Let’s get back what we felt like we lost,’ and things like that.”

It’s becoming increasingly clear the union is going to lose something. Just how much depends on how hard the NFL pushes and how well the players stick together.

So far the NFL is pushing hard, with Pash warning that the date to get a deal done is by the March 3 expiration of the current contract, not in the weeks before the start of the next season. He claims the league will lose $120 million without a new agreement by early March, $350 million if there’s no CBA by August and $1 billion if no new contract is in place until September.

And it may be increasingly hard for players to stick together — see Cromartie’s comments — especially if the league’s figures of 495 players being eligible for free agency or bonuses if a new agreement is in place are accurate. Those players are going to want to cash in, even if it means high draft picks may get less money and there will be an 18game regular-season schedule.

Right now, though, there are no full negotiations going on and none scheduled. And that’s fine, at least for one week.

Let the Packers and Steelers give us a Super Bowl to remember.

The start of the McMurdo Marathon, where 17 marathoners, and some half-marathoners and cross-country skiers, ran across Antarctica’s Ross Sea ice shelf on Jan. 16.

Marathon Continued from D1 Volunteers dispensed cups of water and juice, bananas, pretzels and energy bars. A shirtless Michael Deany, who works in McMurdo’s carpentry department, skied past, listening to whale sounds on his iPod. An hour in, the sun had turned the course into the consistency of wet sand. The marathoners crossed paths with the 20 half-marathoners at the Mile 7 aid station, which a crew from McMurdo’s roads department had fashioned into a lounge.

Ozzy Osbourne blared from a boom box beside a faded couch, and a table offered water, beer and grilled chicken, in addition to bananas, plums, pears and apples — coveted perishables known here as freshies.

Mary Zavanelli, a seal biologist from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Madison Basile, an Air Force flight nurse based in Okinawa, Japan, collapsed on the couch.

“Actually this is a bit easier than the trail marathon I did in the Marin Headlands,” Zavanelli said. “It’s warmer, flatter and spectacular.”

Though indispensable in past marathons, a heated warming hut used by biologists for ice diving stood vacant. Unseen by the runners, three emperor penguins were molting on the ice 100 feet from the course, oblivious to the race.

The marathoners doubled back after reaching McMurdo’s ice runway, which was lined with LC-130 aircraft operated by the New York Air National Guard.

Curtis Moore, 29, of New Hampshire, had a three-minute lead over Kevin Rice of Vermont.

Moore had flown in for the race from the Amundsen-Scott South Pole base, where he drills holes in the ice for subatomic particle detectors. The 9,300-foot eleva-

Marathon training at the bottom of the earth requires multiple fleece layers and treadmills.

Runners can participate in the annual Race Around the World, a carnival-like two-mile run at the pole on Christmas Day. The winner of this year’s pole race,

Rickey Gates, earned a trip to the McMurdo marathon, but his flight was canceled because of bad weather. So he and several others plotted and ran a 26.2mile course that began and ended at the South Pole geographic marker, a three-hour flight from McMurdo. Gates, a dishwasher at the South Pole base station,

completed that race in minus-20 degree temperatures in a little more than four hours.

At McMurdo, Moore left Rice behind soon after the 13th mile and cut a lonely figure over the snowy white landscape, breaking the tape in 3 hours, 16 minutes.

“You trashed me,” Rice said, icicles dangling from his beard.

“Well, it was just a matter of finding the footing,” Moore said.

The lead female marathoner, Joolee Aurand of Eagle River, Alaska, pulled away from Sorbello at Mile 18, winning in 4:13:07. Four miles before the finish, Aurand’s iPod finally cycled to a song she had been waiting for, by the indie band Of Montreal.

The chorus repeats, “Let’s pretend we’re in Antarctica,” which sent her kicking to the finish.

College football offseason is deadliest time of the year

By Mike Bianchi The Orlando Sentinel

C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L C O M M E N TA R Y

ORLANDO, Fla. — hirteen Iowa football players were rushed to the hospital earlier this week after an organized offseason workout.

The medical term for their condition is called “exertional rhabdomyolysis.”

This can be roughly translated into three words: Lunatic football coaches.

Another college football offseason is beginning, but when will the death and destruction end?

If Waylon Jennings were still alive, he would rework the lyrics to his famous song to say: “Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be college football players.”

According to various medical definitions, exertional rhabdomyolysis is caused when you overwork muscles past the point of fatigue. The muscle then breaks down and deteriorates and releases toxins into the bloodstream that can cause the heart to malfunction, kidneys to shut down and even death. Because of the polluted blood, the urine becomes cloudy and tea-colored.

Question for lunatic football coaches: Is it really necessary to work players so hard that they

we already know? It’s because college football players are overworked during offseason workouts by draconian and militaristic strength and conditioning coaches who put them through brutal and barbaric drills designed to make “men” out of them.

But all too often, they become dead men. One respected college football writer — Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com — has termed the offseason workouts that take place between January and August as the “Kill Season.” Since 2000, 21 college football players have died — 19 of those while participating in offseason conditioning drills.

There have been four college players in Florida — UCF’s Ereck Plancher, USF’s Keeley Dorsey, Florida’s Eraste Autin and Florida State’s Devaugn Darling — die during offseason workouts in the last decade.

If there had been 19 deaths in NASCAR or boxing or pro football since 2000, a federal investigation would have been launched long ago. But in college football, the bodies keep piling up and the archaic puke drills go on unregulated.

T

University of Iowa spokesman Tom Moore gives a statement during a news conference at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa, on Wednesday. Thirteen Iowa football players were hospitalized after developing rhabdomyolysis, a stress-induced muscle syndrome following strenuous workouts. are peeing brown in the hospital?

Thankfully, it appears the Iowa players will be OK, although eight of the 13 still remain hospitalized with kidney issues. Amazingly, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz was on the road recruiting when the players were sent to the hospital and he chose to remain on the

road recruiting for two more days until he finally returned home.

Shamefully, when those sick players needed him most, Ferentz was on the road recruiting their replacements.

Iowa is obviously conducting an investigation to figure out why this has happened, but don’t

Terry Bowden, former Auburn coach and Orlando resident who now coaches at North Alabama, put it best a couple of years ago when he wrote in a column for Yahoo.com: “Maybe these tragic deaths are not inevitable. Maybe it’s time to start asking ourselves different questions: Are we demanding much more from these athletes than is required safety to play? ... We are not seeing these types of unexpected deaths during the regular season. Perhaps it’s because we are getting our kids ready to play football then, and not getting them ready for mortal combat.”

Have you ever wondered why offseason conditioning deaths mainly happen in college football and not the NFL or the NBA, two physically demanding sports with much longer seasons than college football? I’ll tell you why: Because pro athletes wouldn’t stand for the oppressive torture that college programs put their athletes through.

Remember when Urban Meyer took over at the University of Florida? He would send injured players to “The Pit” a place where

they would carry huge rocks up and down stairs with giant steel chains wrapped around their shoulders. Do you think such idiocy would be tolerated in the NFL? Former UF player Dallas Baker once described UF’s offseason mat drills under Meyer as feeling like “I’m in hell. . . . We’re rolling on the ground wrestling each other and you can’t really get water. I ended up dehydrated and passing out.”

Ten days before Devaughn Darling died doing conditioning drills at Florida State, former FSU player Eric Luallen wrote an eerily foreshadowing column about mat drills for a fan website.

Luallen quoted FSU assistant coach Chuck Amato telling players: “Just remember, gentlemen, the body is a wonderful machine.

You will pass out before you die.”

Passing out. Puking. Peeing brown.

Ah, the sights and sounds of college football.

Three days from now is National Signing Day for high school football players.

Here’s hoping they all get into the college of their choice.

Here’s hoping even more they all get out alive.

D6 Sunday, January 30, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Dailey Continued from D1 As starting fullback for the football team last fall, he helped Lava Bear tailback Gavin Gerdes rush for an impressive 1,330 yards and nine touchdowns with his reliable blocking. Dailey himself scored four touchdowns during a season in which Bend advanced to the Class 5A state playoffs. Also an accomplished wrestler, Dailey, who last weekend won his weight class at the Eagle Point Invitational, boasts a record of 17-3 this season and is currently ranked fifth in Class 5A at 189 pounds by the Oregon Wrestling Forum. Dailey’s turnaround so impressed his coaches that he was nominated for the 2010 High School Football Rudy Award, a national award program that recognizes high school football players with inspirational stories (see sidebar, this page).

“Sometimes after I do something good,” says Dailey, who bounced in and out of “juvie” and was arrested four times before he even started high school, “I think how none of this could have happened … how it all could have been ruined.”

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Bend High wrestler Kenny Dailey looks for an official ruling as he pins Summit opponent Max Burbidge earlier this season.

Dailey’s story comes to light in ‘Rudy Awards’

Troubled past The first time Scott Novelli met Kenny Dailey, the two were at Bend’s Pilot Butte Middle School — Novelli was a physical education teacher and wrestling coach, Dailey a troubled eighth-grader.

“I was talking to a kid in my office in the locker room and I heard someone smashing something,” Novelli recalls. “Another kid was going, ‘Stop! Stop!’ And then I heard Kenny say, ‘Who’s going to make me?’ ” “Well, I came out of the office and said, ‘I’ll make you,’ ” Novelli remembers. “It was nose to nose the first time we met.”

Novelli was hardly the first authority figure with whom Dailey had clashed. By his own account, Dailey had been arrested three times before his second stint at Pilot Butte and had been kicked out of three of Bend’s four middle schools.

“All of them except Sky View,” Dailey says matter-of-factly.

“And that’s just because I didn’t go there. I even got kicked out of second-chance school (Bend-La Pine Schools’ program for students who have been expelled or suspended from school.)”

At the time one of six children living with his mother, Rebecca VerValen, Dailey was an emotional powder keg in middle school. After a fire destroyed the trailer in which the family was living in March 2007, when Dailey was in seventh grade, VerValen and her kids bounced around Bend. They lived in a tent east of town for almost a month before moving into a single room in a low-rent motel.

“There were seven of us kids — mostly all of them little — and my mom, and all that was crammed in either tents or a little motel room,” recalls Dailey, whose youngest brother — the seventh sibling — was born while the family was staying at the motel. “Kids are screaming ’cause they can’t go outside ’cause there’s a highway out front and a river (the Central Oregon Canal) in the back. Nobody could get their own space. …

Before that we were in a trailer that was really compact. There was a lot of noise and no way to get away from it. That definitely

commitment,” according to the foundation’s website.

One winner receives a $10,000 academic scholarship, while three runners-up receive financial aid awards of $5,000 (first runner-up) and $2,500 (two second runnersup). A “fan favorite,” which is voted on by web users, also receives a $5,000 scholarship.

Open to football players across the nation — more than 250 nominations were submitted for the 2010 High

Kenny Dailey’s story first came to The Bulletin’s attention when the Bend High junior was nominated for the High School Football Rudy Awards

by Lava Bear football coach Craig Walker.

Inspired by former Notre Dame University football player Daniel Ruettiger (the basis for the movie “Rudy”), the High School Football Rudy Awards are given to prep football players who demonstrate “character, courage, contribution and

fumed me.”

Adding to the stress, Dailey says, an autistic younger brother was without medication while the family’s living situation was in limbo.

“I’d go crazy and freak out at my little brothers ’cause I didn’t want to deal with it anymore,” Dailey says. “Then when someone at school would say (anything) I’d snap and freak out at them. I made it a habit.”

Dailey’s anger was not a new development. When he was 3 years old, his mother spent 10 days in jail on a misdemeanor charge and was forced to surrender custody of her children.

Dailey and his older brother went to live with an uncle in Bremerton, Wash., for 2 1⁄2 years while his two other siblings at the time went to live with other family members. Once his mother regained custody of her kids, Dailey for the next several years bounced back and forth between living with his mom and living with his uncle.

“Kenny was a very angry child when I got him back,” VerValen says about Dailey, who has had little contact with his biological father. “His uncle … is a very decent man and gave him a lot of structure. When he (Kenny) came back to me he was used to that structure, and at that point in my life I wasn’t able to give it to him.”

VerValen struggled to find a decent home for her growing family, and at one point she and her children lived in a cornfield in Washington. There, she would bathe the kids in creek water heated over a campfire.

“Kenny was such a strong little person,” VerValen recalls.

“He wanted to change the situa-

tion, but he couldn’t.”

Finding his sport Enraged at the world and ready to brawl was pretty much how Novelli and then-Pilot Butte assistant principal Gene Dusan found Dailey in fall 2007. In May of that year Dailey had been arrested for a pair of fights he had gotten into earlier that spring.

“He was an angry, confused kid,” Novelli says about Dailey, who had transferred to Pilot Butte Middle School after spending the first part of the 2007-08 school year in second-chance school.

“He was kind of a bully. He was a kid enshrouded in negativity.”

Demonstrating the same behavior that had gotten him suspended elsewhere, Dailey soon became familiar with Dusan, who handled discipline matters at Pilot Butte.

“He lacked direction,” Dusan says about Dailey. “He hadn’t had a lot of stable influences in his life.

But the top thing we had going (at Pilot Butte) was our wrestling program. Scott Novelli is a Pied Piper. He impacts young people. … We had a good indication that if we could get Kenny out for wrestling it would be something he would gravitate to and build some solid self-esteem.”

“Gene and I talked that we had to get him (Dailey) in something,” Novelli adds. “Really, we weren’t holding our breath. But we wanted to give the kid a chance.”

Standing 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing a little more than 160 pounds — he was built like a tank even in middle school — Dailey was a good candidate for football. But the season was almost over by the time he enrolled at Pilot Butte, so Dusan

School Football Rudy Awards — an eight-person selection committee narrowed the field down to 12 finalists in December before selecting one winner and three runners-up this January. Dailey was one of the 12 finalists for the 2010 award but was not one of the winners.

and Novelli pointed him toward wrestling. “(Dusan) called me into his office and gave me some old Nike wrestling shoes,” says Dailey, who had plenty of brawling experience but had never wrestled in a structured program. “Then Novelli comes in and says, ‘We really want you to do this.’ ” Despite having no background in organized sports, Dailey took instantly to wrestling and its physicality.

“Honestly, I didn’t know if it was going to work,” Novelli recalls. “But from the first day of practice, he was there early, setting up mats, getting kids in-

volved. He was a natural leader.”

He also was a pretty decent wrestler. A thick, strong kid with a low center of gravity, Dailey was able to win a lot of early-season matches on his strength and athleticism alone.

“He was a first-year wrestler, but he picked up on it,” Novelli says. “He’d been in his share of fights, been in competitive situations and was a brave kid. He wasn’t scared of anyone.”

For the first time in his life, Dailey was receiving attention for doing good things. He had become part of the solution to his own problems.

“It was easy to channel that energy into wrestling,” Dailey says about his first experience on the mat. “When I was mad, I could feel myself working harder in practice. I wasn’t necessarily mean or aggressive against people in wrestling, but I was focused and working harder.”

“He blossomed,” Novelli adds about Dailey’s transformation.

“He absolutely lit up. And he continued to improve and beat a lot of kids because he was big, strong and athletic.”

While he understandably was pleased by Dailey’s fast start in wrestling, Novelli also developed a concern: Eventually, his big rookie wrestler was going to face an opponent who had grown up on the youth wrestling circuit, who was light-years ahead of Dailey in terms of technique and strategy and could exploit Dailey’s inexperience.

“What happens when he gets thumped?” Novelli remembers thinking. “We talked about it. I told him wrestling’s a very humbling sport.

“When he lost that first one, it was one of the final hurdles for him,” Novelli says with pride.

“He came back (off the mat) upset … but immediately he knew what mistakes he made. He told me, ‘Coach, I’ll get him by the end of the year.’

“I just thought, ‘Wow,’ ” Novelli says. “Holy smokes. A month before he’d beat up a kid who looked at him the wrong way.”

which actually is more of a regional championship including teams from several different states, but primarily from Oregon. “He was unseeded at this thing where there are 400 middle schools vying for 16 spots (at each weight class). … Him being there was amazing for a firstyear kid.”

But Dailey’s improbable run was just getting started. He won his first state match by fall and then won by decision in the quarterfinals. He posted another victory in the semifinals and then — less than three months after taking up the sport — he found himself wrestling for a state title.

“He was beating kids on guts and heart and got to the finals,” Novelli remembers. “I was awe-struck.”

Dailey was still such a newbie to the sport that before the championship match he did not recognize a telltale sign of a longtime wrestler.

“He looks over at (his opponent) and asks, ‘Coach, what’s wrong with his ears?’ ” Novelli recalls, laughing. “I tell him, ‘That’s cauliflower ear, Kenny.’ ” After a back-and-forth match, Dailey trailed by four points late in the third and final period. On his back with less than a minute remaining, Dailey escaped, caused a scramble and took his opponent down to the mat, scoring several near-fall points but not a pin. Thinking he had needed a pin to win, Dailey walked off the mat believing he would have to settle for second place.

“The buzzer goes off and I’m bummed,” Dailey recounts.

“I didn’t know what the score was. I stood up, though, and my mom’s freaking out, my sister’s screaming and Novelli’s jumping around. I got up, looked at the score … and saw I won.”

Beau Eastes can be reached at 541-383-0305 or at beastes@ bendbulletin.

Strong finish Dailey continued to progress as a wrestler, and at season’s end he won a regional tournament at 175 pounds, qualifying him for the 2008 middle school state championships.

“I was hoping for maybe one win (by Dailey),” Novelli says about the state tournament,

Coming Monday Sports changed Kenny Dailey’s perspective, but not before one more brush with the law. Educators, teachers and coaches go out on a limb for the troubled teen before he enters high school, giving Dailey one last chance to turn his life around.

DAVID BRODER

With dwindling funds, retiring shuttles and a mission that has yet to be defined, NASA officials are wondering ...

A tax code neglected W hile I was out ill for six weeks in December and January, the world changed. Before that, the White House had badly misjudged the political climate. When I went to Ohio with Vice President Joe Biden, he did his best to ignore the evidence of economic pain, giving a pep talk to skeptical factory workers and telling me and other reporters he believed Democrats would retain their majorities in both the House and Senate.

The election rout came as a shock to President Barack Obama and his administration. But Obama took the lesson and acted promptly. The first step in moving back to the center was to liberate himself from his dependence on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and cut his own deal with Mitch McConnell, the Republican minority leader of the Senate. In return for a temporary extension of the Bush tax cuts, Obama got not only big pieces of his own economic agenda but approval of the arms treaty with Russia and the termination of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Thus fortified, he began to repair the White House, with a distinctly Clintonian cast. He had already hired Jack Lew, a skilled negotiator, as his budget chief.

He brought in my friend Bill Daley, a politically savvy operative with strong business and banking ties, as chief of staff, and Clinton administration veteran Gene Sperling as his top economic adviser. Liberal Democrats fretted, but the vibes from Washington to Wall Street were good.

Then fate intervened. The Tucson massacre provided the kind of occasion when all of the American people turn to the president to express their horror and grief but also their determination to reach out to each other and recover. As Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton had done before him, Obama addressed a nation in grief, reminding everyone why his voice had been cherished during the 2008 campaign — and why they might want to keep it in the White House.

Everything was cued up for the recovery process to climax at Tuesday’s State of the Union address. It played well with the public, with its invocations of bipartisanship and its bursts of economic optimism. But it lacked a centerpiece.

Obama called this a “Sputnik moment,” but offered no such ambitious enterprise.

The one I had hoped he would choose is the overhaul of the tax code, which could pay multiple dividends.

I also hoped Obama would talk about closing special-interest loopholes, technically known as tax expenditures. Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, co-chairmen of the president’s debt commission, had spotlighted the remarkable fact that $1 trillion a year disappears from the Treasury because of these loopholes.

Recovering those funds ought to be at the top of the economic agenda. Big chunks of them are embedded in two pots that have broad public support — the mortgage-interest deduction and the tax exclusion for employer-provided health insurance.

But at least half of that $1 trillion is steered to favored special interests.

Think what recovering $500 billion a year would mean. If you used half of it to reduce individual and corporate tax rates, as Republicans would like, you would give a huge shot in the arm to economic recovery and job growth. If you used much of the rest to bolster education and alternative energy, and repair infrastructure, as Democrats wish, you could actually do those things without deepening the deficit. And you could even set aside $100 billion to reduce the national debt.

What a great message that would send abroad — that the U.S. is serious about ending its economic tailspin.

I wanted to hear Obama urge Paul Ryan, the new Republican chairman of the House Budget Committee whose intellectually ambitious ideas have enlisted bipartisan interest, to meet soon with Kent Conrad, the retiring Democratic chairman of the Senate Budget Committee who well knows the arcane recesses of the tax code. Together, those two could provide an agenda and a strong nudge to the respective tax-writing committees. And I have to believe the big freshman class of legislators would welcome the opportunity to do what no predecessors since another politically divided Congress, prompted by Ronald Reagan, James Baker and the late Dick Darman, and Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley, had done in 1986: clean up and simplify the tax code.

What’s next for the final frontier?

here to next? And when?

For NASA, as it attempts to squeeze a workable human spaceflight program into a tight federal budget, the answers appear to be “somewhere” and “not anytime soon.”

When the space shuttles are retired this year — and only one flight remains for each of the three — NASA will no longer have its own means for getting American astronauts to space.

What comes next is a muddle.

The program to send astronauts back to the moon, known as Constellation, was canceled last year.

In its place, Congress has asked NASA to build a heavy-lift rocket, one that can go deep into space carrying big loads. But NASA says it cannot possibly build such a rocket with the budget and schedule it has been given.

Another crucial component of NASA’s new mission — helping commercial companies develop space taxis for taking astronauts into orbit — is getting less money than the Obama

administration requested. Companies like Boeing and SpaceX that are interested in bidding for the work do not yet know whether they can make a profitable venture of it.

When it comes to the future of NASA, “it’s hard at this point to speculate,” Douglas Cooke, associate administrator for NASA’s exploration systems mission directorate, said in an interview.

Chairwoman Publisher Editor-in-chief Editor of Editorials

USFS’s censors have struck again

W

e’ve stumbled upon the perfect, four-word counterargument to anyone who claims that the federal government values transparency and common sense:

United States Forest Service.

We poked some fun at the agency’s bureaucrats a few weeks ago following their partial release of a number of public documents. The documents contained scores of comments on a proposal to open certain areas to dogs. What they didn’t contain, oddly, is names.

As far as we can tell, the people who shared their opinions with the Forest Service were not guaranteed privacy and didn’t expect it. Why should they? Nonetheless, the Forest Service blacked out their identities before releasing their comments. But they didn’t stop there. They redacted the names of well-known (and easily identified) organizations. They redacted the name of a (presumably famous) dog whisperer mentioned in one letter. They redacted the name of a dog (a springer spaniel, in case you wondered). They even blacked out the names of dead people.

The Forest Service explained its magic marker mania by pointing to a Freedom of Information Act exception that — according to the agency handbook — “protects against disclosure of information about individuals in ‘personnel and medical files and similar files.’” The applicability of this exception to public comments — not to mention dead people and dogs — escapes us. But the agency seems to define “similar” somewhat broadly.

We thought we’d seen the last of

If the Forest Service is looking for positions to redact for budget reasons, we know where to find one. the Forest Service’s redactomania, but then our news desk received a new batch of public comments. And wouldn’t you now it? The agency’s censors have topped themselves.

Somebody, it seems, forwarded a Bulletin story on the dog debate to the Forest Service, which dutifully included it in its new batch of comments. The story had been sent to tens of thousands of subscribers, who may have shown it to tens of thousands of friends and neighbors. But the Forest Service redacted the name of almost every person mentioned in the story, the lone exception being Deschutes National Forest Supervisor John Allen. They even redacted the name of the reporter who wrote it.

At a time of record deficits and, from what we hear day in and day out, inadequately funded public agencies, it’s fascinating to realize that somebody at the Forest Service has enough time to black out the names of dogs, dead people and newspaper reporters from public documents. If the Forest Service is looking for positions to redact for budget reasons, we know where to find one.

Unfair choice for schools

F

or the second time in two years, Jefferson County educators are faced with an offer that’s too good to refuse, though the price is high. They may accept federal funds, $1 million or more per year, to beef up education at Warm Springs Elementary School only if they are willing to replace the school’s principal. A year ago, Madras High School Principal Cary Carlton found his job on the line in a similar situation, and now the district is looking for his replacement. Carlton will remain on staff, however.

Now it’s Dawn Smith’s turn. She’s the head of Warm Springs Elementary and has been for 20 of her 30 years there. Like the district’s high school, her school has failed to meet standards set by the No Child Left Behind education law for so long that the federal government has stepped in. It’s offering the district a bucketful of money to help bring Warm Springs up to snuff, but that money is available only if Smith goes.

For Smith, the tradeoff must be particularly galling. The battle she’s fought has played out on several fronts. Her student body, children from the Warm Springs Indian Res-

ervation, face cultural obstacles to meeting attendance goals many other students do not, for one thing.

Smith has worked hard to correct that situation. Then, as things were beginning to improve, testing standards changed, making meeting academic standards more difficult.

Her charges were unable to improve quickly enough in all areas to keep Warm Springs off the government’s list of failing schools.

We might be less sympathetic to Smith’s plight if she were an administrator who seemed to be biding her time until retirement. She’s not, however: Oregon educators honored her as the state’s best principal just a few years ago. We’d be less sympathetic, too, if we believed a single individual should be held responsible for an entire school’s performance, a notion that simply does not make sense.

Meanwhile, however, Jefferson County School District officials have little choice but to replace Smith as the Warm Springs principal. Turning down the millions of dollars the district stands to gain would be irresponsible, especially at a time when the state cannot afford to boost spending on education.

Be open to ‘possibility thinking’

By Dave Lewis Bulletin guest columnist

oes “staggeringly good” really define the economic crisis in the Deschutes basin? Is The Bulletin (“No more for road map,” Jan. 19) really questioning a pittance of a sum to support over 300 private businesspeople and other interested parties seeking to make a difference in Central Or- I N M Y egon, especially when a Jan. 13 Bulletin article notes the three counties in Central Oregon are at the highest stress index ratings in the state? We have schools with 60 percent of parents unemployed, businesses are leaving and we have almost 20 percent unemployment, while underemployment is even more widespread.

I would hope the editors would be more open to “possibility thinking” and not set the bar so high for such a small amount of money. We need to focus attention on the repeated cycle of boom and bust, where “poverty with a view” has been the prevailing context since the 1970s and has now unfortunately become a self-fulfilling prophecy. We need to radically alter that context in order for the region to generate renewed economic vitality. Otherwise, what is entirely predictable is more of the same boom-bust cycles our region has experienced repeatedly.

In the face of what is a “staggering” regional economy, this group of private businesses raised $25,000 to fund a

specific plan and process for recovery and job creation based on collaboration with existing development organizations. This is not hyperbole, nor is it “reinventing the wheel,” but real ideas for regional transformation provided by outside experts who have done this for communities all over the United State and internationally! By what measure do the editors assess the V I E W progress and results of various developments over the years?

Some companies, particularly in the tech area, are doing well and it speaks highly to the entrepreneurial climate that has been created by individuals here in Bend. That progress is limited and incremental. It’s good news if the optimism expressed by other economists quoted in the article proves to be based on more than one or two recent data points. In fact, the economists’ facts speak for themselves in that the average per capita family income in the region has fallen from 90 percent of U.S. average to 75 percent. That is “staggeringly bad,” and every effort to address that is worth consideration.

That the editors object to the Deschutes County commissioners investing $1,000 to $2,000 to support an effort driven by private citizens and companies, who believe the community needs a fresh look at our situation by a group that has a successful track record in other similar-sized communities, is mind-boggling. “Staggering” looks to this writer to fall in the realm of short-

sighted micromanagement by the Bulletin’s uninformed editorial board.

The CEO responsible for the turnaround of IBM lists what is needed to create turnaround. Try reporting on some of these.

1. Create a sense of urgency — which has been bolstered by the article regarding the economic stress index.

2. Convey that there is hope.

3. Provide direction.

4. Align resources and capabilities with the direction.

5. Create the capacity to work as teams across business units — in this case, across counties and organizations.

If you want to investigate, try looking at the track record of Dr. Watkins and The Praxis group and the private leadership now trying to do something to change this cycle. One thousand days to recovery will be unlike anything this community has ever seen.

Help us mobilize for a change. It’s been done before in the 1980s when we had a mill pond full of rotting logs and a community in much worse shape that we are now. That changed because of private individuals standing up and saying, this will not happen on our watch.

Get on board and use your bully pulpit for good instead of this kind of dribble. If not, ask us for the money back if you don’t think it was worth it. It is time to end this cycle of boom and bust.

The NRA shoots down even modest gun regulations T GAIL

his week in Washington, Sen. Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey introduced three very modest gun regulation bills, including one making it more difficult to sell guns to people on the terror watch list.

Meanwhile, in Salt Lake City, the state Legislature is considering a bill to honor the Browning M1911 pistol by making it the official state firearm.

Guess which idea has the better chance of passage. Can I see a show of hands? Oh, you cynics, you!

Yes, a committee in the Utah House of Representatives voted 9 to 2 this week to approve a bill that would add the Browning pistol to the pantheon of official state things, along with the bird (seagull), rock (coal) and dance (square).

Also, although it really has nothing to do with this discussion, I have to mention that the Utah Legislature has provided its citizens with an official state cooking pot, and it is the Dutch oven.

“This firearm is Utah,” Rep. Carl Wimmer, the Browning bill’s sponsor, told The Salt Lake Tribune. He is an energetic-looking guy with a huge fore-

head who has only been in office four years yet has, according to one of his videos, “sponsored and passed some of the most significant pieces of legislation in Utah history.”

Capitol observers say the Browning bill has an excellent chance of becoming law. Meanwhile, Lautenberg will be lucky to get a hearing. The terror of the National Rifle Association is so pervasive that President Obama did not want to poison the mood of his State of the Union address by suggesting that when somebody on the terror watch list tries to buy a gun, maybe we should do an extra check.

“But people are now commenting on the fact that the president didn’t talk about it in his speech. That hasn’t happened for years,” said Paul Helmke of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, whose job really does require an inordinate amount of optimism.

Lautenberg’s bills are extremely mild, and no one seems eager to argue in public against the one that would end easy access to 30-bullet magazines that allow someone with a semiautomatic pistol to mow down a parking lot full of people

in a matter of seconds. Instead, they just refuse to come to the phone or toss out platitudes.

“The people that are going to commit a crime or are going to do something crazy aren’t going to pay attention to the laws in the first place. Let’s fix the real problem. Here’s a mentally deranged person who had access to a gun that should not have had access to a gun,” said Sen. Tom Coburn on “Meet the Press.”

Another of Lautenberg’s bills would tighten a loophole in current law so a mentally deranged person who should not have access to guns could not go to a gun show and buy one without the regular security check. But never mind.

On Monday, the Utah State Capitol celebrated Browning Day, honoring

John Moses Browning, native son and maker of the nominee for Official State Firearm. There were speeches, a proclamation, a flyover by a National Guard helicopter, and, of course, a rotunda full of guns. “We recognize his efforts to preserve the Constitution,” Gov. Gary Herbert said, in keeping with what appears to be a new Republican regulation requiring all party members to mention the Constitution at least once in every three sentences.

It is generally not a good policy to dwell on the strange behavior of state legislators since it leads to bottomless despair. If I wanted to go down that road, I’d give you Mark Madsen, a Utah state senator who tried to improve upon the Browning Day celebrations by suggesting they be scheduled to coincide with Martin Luther King Day since “both made tremendous contributions to individual freedom and individual liberty.”

But it’s a symptom of a new streak of craziness abroad in the land, which has politicians scrambling to prove not just that they are against gun regulation, but also that they are proactively in favor of

introducing guns into every conceivable part of American life. National parks.

Schools. Bars. Airports.

“There is abundant research suggesting in cities where more people own guns, the crime rate, especially the murder rate, goes down,” Utah’s new United States senator, Mike Lee, told CNN. Actually, there’s a ton of debate about this, which is hard to resolve given the fact that, as Michael Luo reported in The Times, the NRA’s crack lobbyists have managed to stop almost all federal financing for scientific research on gunrelated questions. But Lee has definitely made the list of most creative commentators on these matters, ever since he dismissed calls for a calmer political rhetoric after the Tucson massacre by arguing that “the shooter wins if we, who have been elected, change what we do just because of what he did.”

Feel free to say whatever you like about the senator’s thinking. Be frank.

Otherwise, the shooter wins.

O The noisy decline of the old order A

merican reality has been turned upside down in just 20 years.

Americans no longer count on their news to be filtered and shaped by the Associated Press or The New York Times. Nor do millions have it read to them in the evening by CBS, ABC or NBC anchorpersons — not with the Internet, cable news and talk radio.

Matt Drudge’s Web site, “The Drudge Report,” reaches far more Americans than does CBS anchor/star Katie Couric.

The old notion that America’s most successful citizens are turned out by prestigious four-year universities — the more private and Ivy League, the better — overseen by disinterested professors is also nearing an end. Private for-profit trade schools and online colleges are certifying millions in particular skills.

Meanwhile, the high jobless rate among recent college graduates, who are burdened by thousands of dollars in student loans, is starting to resemble the Freddie Mac- and Fannie Mae-spawned financial bubble of 2008, in which millions of indebted and unemployed borrowers could not pay back exorbitant federally insured home loans. The notion that parents are going to keep borrowing $200,000 to certify their children with highprestige BA degrees that don’t necessarily lead to good jobs seems about as wise as buying a sprawling house

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON that one can’t afford. James Cameron, Bill Gates, Sean Hannity, Tom Hanks, Steve Jobs, Rush Limbaugh, Tiger Woods and Mark Zuckerberg all made a good living without earning BAs. And therapeutic college curricula and hyphenated “studies” courses have not made graduates better-read or more skilled in math and science. For many employers, the rigor of the new BA is scarcely equivalent to that of the old high school diploma. The global warming/climate change/climate chaos “crisis” has reminded Americans that careerist university Ph.Ds can be just as likely to fudge evidence and distort research as political lobbyists.

The old blanket respect for academia and academics is eroding.

After the Greek financial fraud and collapse, the European Union identity crisis and insolvency in California, there will be no more new defined-benefit retirement programs. A shrinking and debt-ridden youth cohort cannot and will not continue to subsidize an expanding and more affluent retired generation. Soon, 65 will be the new 50. We are going to see lots more seniors working well into their 70s.

Few believe that Detroit’s problem is too few unionized autoworkers, or that the SEIU has resulted in far better public service and efficiency from government employees. A government conspiracy or an ignorant public does not explain why union membership has now fallen to 12 percent of the American work force.

The welfare-entitlement state is likewise a relic. Only a few political dinosaurs are calling for more spending, more entitlements and more taxes. Fairly or not, most Europeans and Americans accept that the limits of redistribution have been reached.

President Obama’s talk of “spread the wealth” and “fat cat” bankers has not done much to lower $1.3 trillion deficits and 9.4 percent unemployment.

So he has dropped the high-tax, morebenefits, class-warfare rhetoric in favor of writing editorials in The Wall Street Journal assuring business of less regulation and more government help.

Race relations are being redefined as never before. Interracial marriage, integration and immigration have made the old rubrics — “white,” “black,” “brown” — obsolete. Rigid, half-century-old affirmative action preference programs have not caught up with everyday reality. Their overseers are likewise ossified, now that millions in an interracial America do not fit into their precise racial slots, and being white — to the degree that it

can be easily defined — is not synonymous with innate privilege. The notion that Tiger Woods’ children need an admissions or employment edge over natives of Appalachia or immigrants from India is surreal.

Abroad, things are just as upside down. Russia is no longer the avatar of global communism but the world’s largest cutthroat capitalist oil producer. China’s cultural revolution is now about making tons of money and driving a luxury car. The European Union has been reduced to finger-pointing and standing in line to beg Germany for cash — a far cry from its advertised 21st-century utopian brotherhood. Our old neighbor Mexico is now a nearfailed narco-state, bearing a greater resemblance to Afghanistan than to its brethren North American nations.

In response to this topsy-turvy world, the traditional media, tenured professors, well-paid public employees, rigid ethnic and racial lobbies, unions, organized retirees, open-borders advocates and entrenched politicians all are understandably claiming that we live in an uncivil age.

We well may be, but we also are seeing the waning of an old established order. And the resulting furor suggests that the old beneficiaries are not going quietly into that good night.

provided insurance.

The mandate is a harder puzzle, since it works in tandem with the requirement — popular enough to have many Republican supporters — that insurers cease denying coverage to customers with pre-existing conditions. If you repealed the mandate without repealing that requirement, people could simply wait until they were sick to buy insurance, driving everyone’s prices up.

But Republicans could propose dealing with the same problem in a less coercive way. One alternative would establish limited enrollment periods (every two years, for instance) when people with pre-existing conditions could buy into the new exchanges without being denied coverage. Anyone who failed to take advantage wouldn’t be able to get coverage for a pre-existing condition until the next enrollment period arrived. This would reduce the incentive to game the system, without

directly penalizing Americans who decline to buy insurance.

None of these changes would be as sweeping and satisfying as repealing the health care bill outright. And many conservatives are loath to send President Obama anything that he might actually sign, lest he use the cover of bipartisanship to evade responsibility for health care reform’s unpopularity.

But in the unlikely event that the president did embrace a reform of the reform, conservatives would have an opportunity to transform Obamacare from within. With the right changes, the new health care law could expand access to insurance in a more cost-effective, less coercive and more market-oriented way. Which is to say, it could become the kind of reform that conservatives claim to have been looking for all along.

Ross Douthat is a columnist for The New York Times.

The fairly obscure life of the average writer GENE W WEINGARTEN

WASHINGTON — hen a teenage me first expressed an interest in being a writer, my Aunt Ethel sat me down for a solemn conversation.

Aunt Ethel was an English teacher and a magnificent cynic.

“Have you ever heard of William Faulkner?” she asked me.

“Sure,” I said.

“Have you ever heard of Joseph Hergesheimer?”

“Uh, no.”

“Well, there was a time when the American public considered Joseph Hergesheimer a better writer than William Faulkner.”

Aunt Ethel’s point was that the success of a writer is dependent less on his talent than on the fickle tastes of an idiot public. She didn’t want this for me; she wanted me to be an insurance actuary.

I noted her point but mostly disregarded it; my suspicion was that she was full of it. In the ensuing years, I never saw any evidence that Hergesheimer — a flow-

ery, minor novelist and a contemporary of Faulkner — had ever challenged Faulkner in the public’s fancy.

Now I have it. A new Google tool called NGram viewer lets you see, on a timeline graph, the comparative popularity of any two or more words, phrases or names, judged by the frequency of their mentions in the millions of English language books Google has digitized. A decade after her death, Aunt Ethel has been vindicated. Faulkner once was less popular than Hergesheimer but passed him in 1934 and left him in the dust.

I learned about this Google tool from my friend Tom Scocca, the Slate columnist. Tom has been publishing his excellent NGram results for two months now:

“Television” passed “Bible” in 1968. Also that year, “orgasm” passed “chastity.”

“Obese” passed “portly” in 1939.

Tom got me started on doing these on my own. I curse him now for all eternity. It is beyond addictive.

In 1940, “car” finally passed “horse” and never looked back.

In 1966, “black activist” passed “credit to his race.”

In 1950, “panties” passed “bloomers.”

It took 25 years more for “pants” to pass “trousers.”

Until 1900, “sex” and “romance” were parallel lines, with “sex” just slightly ahead. That year, the two lines kissed demurely for an instant before “sex” roared away into the insurmountable lead it maintains today. In 1973, “having sex” passed “going steady.”

In 1996, “stoner” passed “dipsomaniac.”

In 1978, “romaine lettuce” passed “iceberg lettuce.”

“Wireless” has experienced two huge peaks, the first in 1919 and an even big-

L

ger renaissance in 2007.

In 1917, “hot dog” passed “frankfurter.”

In 1956, “beer” passed “liquor.”

The use of the N-word peaked in 1970 and has been steadily declining. The use of “the N-word” peaked in 2002.

The N-word is still waaaay more in use than “the N-word.”

In 2002, “Harry Potter” passed “Huckleberry Finn.”

“God” outstrips all other proper names, including “Christ,” “Mohammad,” “Shakespeare” and “Lady Gaga.”

In 1843, “astrology” passed “phrenology.” Twenty years later, “surgery” passed “leeches.”

In 1933, “Hitler” surpassed “Satan” and has remained firmly in the lead.

“Gene Weingarten” has never passed, and remains significantly behind, “Joseph Hergesheimer.”

OK, I’m cured now.

ROSS DOUTHAT critiques of the health care bill as a framework for a reform of the reform.

If Obama is defeated in 2012, this framework could easily be adapted into a full scale repeal-and-replace effort. But in the event that he’s re-elected, it would offer a Republican Congress a blueprint for improving the law without doing away with it entirely.

Here are three such conservative critiques: first, that Obamacare entrenches the very model of health care financing that drove costs sky-high to begin with — a model in which every insurance plan has to be comprehensive, every significant payment is made by a third party and consumers have no idea what their treatments actually cost.

Second, the new subsidies for the uninsured are so expansive that they may encourage employers to stop offering insurance altogether, offloading their employees into the new health care exchanges and swiftly overwhelming the federal budget.

Third, the mandate to buy health insurance infringes on American liberties: never before has Washington required that private citizens purchase a particular product from a particular set of private companies.

To address the first problem, Republicans should work to deregulate the new health care exchanges, so that high-deductible, catastrophic coverage can be purchased as easily as comprehensive plans. To address the second, they should propose capping the subsidies for the uninsured, so that they don’t dramatically exceed the value of the existing tax subsidy for employer-

Low-tax states need to change ike me, you may be wondering why 96,000 California state workers were given cell phones courtesy of the taxpayers. For, like me, you probably use a cell phone in the course of your work. And we know that if we asked our employers to pay for it, the answer would be N-O. But here is the financially busted Golden State looking for dimes under the cushions, while nearly 40 percent of its public workers can call their cousins in Cleveland for free. One parks department worker was found to have made 3,300 personal calls in just over a year, the Los Angeles Times reported. None were made during working hours, we are sure.

Facing budget Armageddon, California Gov. Jerry Brown had found an easy and crowd-pleasing target for savings.

He proclaimed that half of the state-issued cell phones would have to go.

Good move for taxpayer morale, but the savings will come to only $20 million. That means Brown would have to find 1,250 more similar-sized spending cuts to close California’s $25 billion deficit hole.

Most states are broke, even Texas.

Anti-tax, anti-labor and pro-business Texas was supposed to be the conservative beacon of fiscal smarts to others.

Turns out the magic-hat trick of low taxes doesn’t always pan out. The Lone Star State’s budget Good shortfall could reach public $27 billion.

That approximates services the sad number now do run on burdening high-tax, highly regulated and money. much-unionized Cali- The time fornia, and Texas has only two-thirds as will come many people. The when they problem in Texas is turn so that sales taxes account for 60 percent shabby of revenues, and they that taxes dropped sharply in the recession. Having will have no income tax, Texas to rise. fell into budget havoc when consumers stopped spending.

But Texas also has a structural deficit — that is, a deficit unrelated to economic conditions. Texas lawmakers cut property taxes in 2006 and created a business tax to cover the lost revenues. It was apparently not big enough.

Every unhappy budget forecast is unhappy in its own way — but Washington adds to everyone’s sorrow. In fiscal 2010, over a quarter of all state and local spending came from federal grants, much of it from the federal stimulus package.

The stimulus money is tapering off to a trickle. And the federal government now wants to charge states interest on the money they borrowed to pay unemployment benefits.

Meanwhile, pressure to lower budget deficits in Washington, D.C., may bring a pullback in federal grants to states for Medicaid, for education, for roads. To raise more tax revenues, Washington may also decide to go after the tax deduction for state property, income and sales taxes, according to Governing magazine.

Property taxes are already under pressure, as collapsing home prices lower assessments. This trend hurts most in the formerly hot real estate markets of Arizona, Florida and Nevada.

These states must also deal with many unemployed construction workers and a drop in sales taxes as a fall-off in new housing units curbs demand for new refrigerators, sofas and wallpaper.

At the top of the misery scale sits Illinois, which is nobody’s beacon for managing state finances. Illinois has it all — extravagant public-employee benefits, a high home foreclosure rate and $8 billion in unpaid bills. It made headlines recently by temporarily raising the state’s income-tax rate by 67 percent.

We hear talk in Washington, D.C., of a plan to help states declare a kind of bankruptcy, which would let them restructure their obligations, including to public workers’ pensions. There may be little alternative.

At the same time, good public services do run on money. The time will come when they turn so shabby that taxes will have to rise. In some low-tax states, that clock chimed long ago.

How the GOP should attack Obamacare ecently, the Republican Party proved that it has the votes to repeal health care reform — but only in the House of Representatives.

Unfortunately for conservatives, the Senate and the White House also have a say in the matter.

The House vote may be remembered as a first step toward actual repeal, or as a futile exercise in fist-shaking. It all depends on whether Republicans can find a strategy for undoing the health care legislation that doesn’t involve an immediate frontal assault.

One option is for Congressional Republicans to hold hearings, stage more symbolic votes, and hope that the 2012 election delivers them a Senate majority, a new occupant in the White House and a chance at full repeal. But of course there’s no guarantee that Obama will be defeated — and even if he is, by 2013, health care reform may be more entrenched and the Democratic Party more united than ever in its determination to defend it. The filibuster, lately a Republican weapon, could become the means by which supporters of Obamacare ensure that it endures.

Another option would be to attack the law piecemeal by going after its least popular provisions — the new taxes, the Medicare cuts and the fine for Americans who don’t buy insurance. This strategy might be good short-term politics but would do little to lay the groundwork for an actual conservative alternative. Worse, in the unlikely event that the piecemeal attacks succeeded, Obamacare would be transformed from a notionally deficit-neutral bill into a straightforward budget-buster. And heightening a program’s contradictions in the hopes that it falls apart is an approach better suited to Marxists than conservatives.

What Republicans need is a different kind of incremental approach, one that uses the strongest conservative

“O: A Presidential Novel”

by Anonymous (Simon & Schuster, 353 pgs., $25.99)

By Michiko Kakutani New York Times News Service

Well, now we know why the author of this much gossiped about, heavily marketed new book wanted to remain anonymous: “O: A Presidential Novel” is a thoroughly lackadaisical performance — trite, implausible and decidedly unfunny.

Although the novel’s publisher has borrowed the marketing strategy of “Primary Colors” (whose anonymous author was later revealed to be journalist Joe Klein), “O” has none of that book’s panache or satiric wit. In fact “O” bears about as much resemblance to “Primary Colors” as “Primary Colors” did to “All the King’s Men.” There has been plenty of online speculation that the author of “O” may be a political reporter, blogger or onetime member of President Barack Obama’s staff, but while he or she clearly has a feel for what it’s like to be on the campaign trail, much of what passes for inside knowledge in these pages would be known to anyone who’s read a bunch of campaign accounts, subscribed to Mike Allen’s Playbook or watched “Morning Joe.” Over the weekend, the guessing game continued, with some saying the author was none other than former John McCain adviser Mark Salter. Salter has made no comment regarding that speculation.

The novel — set during the 2012 campaign — wants us to think we’re learning something about the real-life White House and the real-life mediasphere. But the characters who are meant to sound familiar — including a news-aggregating website’s founder, who speaks in “heavily accented English,” and a rumpled White House adviser, charged with “protecting the president’s brand” — are clumsily drawn caricatures. And while an executive at the book’s publisher says, in an online note, that he hopes this book may “offer some resonant truths about what President Obama is really thinking,” the title character turns out to be a snarkily drawn cartoon too: a conceited narcissist whose inner life consists of gripes about his opponents, frustration

with his job, daydreams about golf and self-congratulatory pats on his own back, combined with put-downs of the country at large.

Anonymous has President O thinking, “This is who he had always expected to be, this competent, cool, commanding leader who was always a step ahead of his rivals, a step ahead of the country, if truth be told.” O complains that the tea party is a mob of “conspiracy nuts, immigrant haters, vengeful Old Testament types, publicity hustlers, and people who just have way too much time on their hands,” united by “their sneering self-righteousness and burning hatred for me.” And he believes “his gift as a public speaker was greater and rarer than the one commonly attributed to him, his ability to inspire people”: “He enlightened them.

He made them understand, without making them feel threatened, that America could be a better society, that Americans could be more just, braver, wiser than they had been.”

This president is described as fantasizing, in very bad romancenovel prose, about running against a Sarah Palin-like character referred to as “the Barracuda”: “There she was, baby on her hip, thick hair piled up high, chin out, defiant, taunting, flaunting that whole lusty librarian thing, sweet and savory, mother and predator, alluring and dangerous.” He’s also described as agreeing to go with an early, highly negative campaign against his 2012 opponent even though it completely undermines his image as being “the antidote to relentless parti-

sanship”: He “would have to battle for nine miserable months to damage another man’s reputation while mostly relying on events to improve his own.”

O’s hypocrisy and arrogance, along with improbable plot developments, make it hard not to suspect that the author of this novel is a Republican sympathizer — or at the very least someone very disillusioned with Obama.

We are asked to believe that the Republicans have easily found the ideal candidate to run against President O — a “square-jawed, straight-backed, irresistibly perfect” fellow named Thomas Morrison, who combines the impressive military credentials of Gen. David Petraeus with the civilian résumé (Northeastern governor, CEO) of Mitt Romney, a man described in these pages with the sort of breathless encomiums that a GOP press office could only dream of. We’re told that Morrison is attractive, affable, courteous, dignified, well spoken, a military man with a “natural aptitude” for politics and a “talent for declaring his support for positions that were broadly popular with the voters with arguments that appeared insightful and principled.”

Somehow there are no real divisions in the Republican party in this 2012 — no widening schism between tea party supporters and the establishment, no bitter quarrels between its base and more centrist members — and Morrison not only sails through Iowa and New Hampshire and on to the nomination, he then runs to the left (yes, the left) of President O on the war in Afghanistan. Predictably enough, the shenanigans of the book’s other characters — including O’s new campaign manager, an ambitious young reporter for a Politico-like publication, and a wealthy political donor — will converge to take the race between Morrison and O into “the City of Dead Heat, the Valley of Sudden Death” in its closing days.

The author of “O” is described on the book flap as someone who “has been in the room with Barack Obama,” but given this novel’s many inane implausibilities, the reader can’t help but think that the writer was either a lousy observer or that the room was really enormous — a hotel ballroom, perhaps, or maybe a convention center.

“Our Man in Tehran”

by Robert Wright (Other Press, 432 pgs., $25.95)

By Jim Landers The Dallas Morning News

Historian Robert Wright has written a tight summary of the Iran hostage crisis — this time from a Canadian perspective.

When you are tempted by the title “Our Man in Tehran,” keep that Canadian perspective in mind.

The 1979-80 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Iran by militants answering to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was 444 days of humiliation for the United States.

One ray of sunshine in that gloomy period was Canadian ambassador Ken Taylor’s role in sheltering and, after three months, smuggling six U.S. Embassy employees out of Iran.

Canada’s government took the extraordinary step of providing the six Americans with Canadian passports, which they used to fly out of the country. This was more involved, and more difficult, than it sounds. One big risk involved clearing immigration.

Iranian officials collected embarkation papers from everyone arriving in the country, and they were supposed to match those with copies collected when foreigners left the country. The fleeing Americans had no entry paperwork matching their new passports and forged departure documents, but the Iranians didn’t bother to check.

This bit of spy craft was done in concert with the CIA, an agency Wright’s Canadian sources considered ham-fisted from beginning to end in the hostage crisis. (Even the CIA’s forged Iranian departure documents had incorrect dates on them that could have blown the escape.)

In Wright’s crisp telling, the CIA coddled the Shah and his ruthless security service. It failed to warn the State De-

partment that militants would seize the embassy — not once, but twice. Like the rest of the U.S. government, it apparently could not imagine that the hostage crisis would become a months-long means to radicalize the Iranian revolution.

Taylor, on the other hand, is depicted as shrewd, courageous and decisive. What began in 1977 as an ambassadorship keyed to Canadian trade and investment became a posting requiring urgent analysis of revolution and, ultimately, of intelligence-gathering on behalf of a badly beleaguered neighbor.

Taylor wound up collecting information, vetting covert agents and providing guidance for the U.S. government’s attempt to mount an elaborate commando rescue of the hostages.

Wright uncovered this side of Taylor’s time in Tehran, and it adds to the history of the crisis and the bad-luck rescue attempt that failed in a desert far from the embassy.

Wright does not uncover much about Taylor himself, however. After the six Americans came home late in January 1980, the ambassador became a hero and a celebrity. He traveled repeatedly across Canada and the United States. Eventually he became counsel general for Canada in New York, and something of a bon vivant. All the while, he said little about the details of the escape and nothing of his work as a spy for the U.S. government.

Taylor, 75 at the time this book was written, remains a smiling cipher. He reviewed the manuscript of this book before publication.

Unquestionably a hero and friend of America, Taylor is not allowed in Wright’s book to escape from a stereotype of the genial Canadian who is a reliable friend. That’s not a bad way to be remembered after all.

Facing ‘The Monster’ behind subprime crash “The Monster: How a Gang of Predatory Lenders and Wall Street Bankers Fleeced America — and Spawned a Global Crisis”

by Michael W. Hudson (Times Books, 384 pgs., $26)

By Sanjay Bhatt The Seattle Times

In his richly documented narrative, investigative reporter Michael Hudson traces the rise and fall of the subprime lending industry through the stories of two corporate heavyweights — Ameriquest and Lehman Brothers.

His chronicle of the melding of Orange County, Calif., and Wall Street is propelled by the limitless ambition of Roland Arnall, the man who launched three of the industry’s biggest players and expanded them with steady supplies of cash from Wall Street’s biggest banks.

Arnall, who died in 2008, survived several efforts to shut down his mortgage machine. He ingratiated himself with fair-lending activists and laissez faire politicians. His subprime empire was the single biggest source of cash for President George W. Bush from 2002 through 2004, donating more than $12 million to his re-election and inaugural events, according to the book.

But to arrive at a deeper, truer understanding of the many-headed subprime monster, Hudson

brings us accounts from many characters: former employees, victimized borrowers, and regulators. These accounts are gleaned from hundreds of lawsuits, pages of court transcripts and interviews.

A nonfiction book like this, where the ending is known, succeeds by entertaining us with behind-the-scenes moments and personal stories from people trading their ethics for all-expensespaid trips to Hawaii. Washington state regulators play prominent roles in Hudson’s chronicle, including a funny story about Arnall’s staff pulling a bait-and-switch on them at a dinner party.

Hudson, who has covered subprime lending since the early 1990s, explains complex concepts in smooth prose.

His book is a guide to the worst excesses of the mortgage business.

Lehman Brothers’ role in the abuses is there, to be sure, but the book devotes far more attention to Ameriquest and its ilk. Hudson notes that the book is a work of investigative reporting; he offers no policy prescriptions.

New federal legislation is supposed to prevent the abuses Hudson highlights from happening again. Yet, after reading his book, it’s more than plausible that financial gangsters will rise from the ashes and find new ways to prey on unsuspecting borrowers.

In ‘Tiger Mother,’ a perfectionist parent lets loose “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother”

By Amy Chua (The Penguin Press, 237 pgs., $25.95)

By Janet Maslin New York Times News Service

“There are all these new books out there portraying Asian mothers as scheming, callous, overdriven people indifferent to their kids’ true interests,” Amy Chua writes. She ought to know, because hers is the big one: “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” a diabolically wellpackaged, highly readable screed ostensibly about the art of obsessive parenting.

In truth, Chua’s memoir is about one little narcissist’s book-length search for happiness. And for all its quotable outbursts from Mama Grisly (the nickname was inevitable), it will gratify the same people who made a hit out of the granola-hearted “Eat, Pray, Love.”

You might wonder how this is possible. In “Eat, Pray, Love,” Elizabeth Gilbert presented herself as a seeker of solace, whereas Chua eagerly overacts the role of wicked witch. The litany of her outrages has made her an instant conversation piece.

What kind of mother throws her 3-year-old out in the cold? Or complains that her family’s pet rabbits aren’t smart enough? Or makes her two daughters’ music lessons so grueling that one girl leaves tooth marks on the piano?

Chua claims that this is the essence of tough Chinese parenting, as opposed to the lax Western kind. And already her book has a talking point: What does she mean by Chinese and Western? She is of Chinese descent, but she grew up in the American Midwest. She became a law professor, and now teaches at Yale.

She and her husband, another Yale law professor, hired a Chinese nanny to speak Mandarin, though Chua doesn’t speak it herself. Chua grew up as a Roman Catholic, but her daughters were raised as Jews.

So she admits to using the term “Chinese mother” loosely — so loosely that even “a supersuccessful white guy from South Dakota (you’ve seen him on television)” told her his working-class father was a Chinese mom. And what she uses “Chinese mother” to mean is this: driven, snobbish and hellbent on raising certifiably Grade A children. Chua contrasts these attitudes with the sappy “Western” ones that can be found in Disney movies, where a mere romp in the ocean can be construed as a

happy ending.

“That’s just Disney’s way of appealing to all the people who never win any prizes,” she says.

Chua was not about to raise prizeless slackers. She wanted prodigies, even if it meant nonstop, punishing labor. So “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother” chronicles its author’s constant demanding, wheedling, scolding and screaming. It describes seemingly endless piano and violin sessions that Chua supervised. And it enforces a single guiding principle that is more reasonable than all the yelling suggests: “What Chinese parents understand is that nothing is fun until you’re good at it.”

If this were the entirety of “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” this book would not be destined for major best-sellerdom. But Chua’s story has been shaped according to a familiar narrative arc, the one that ensures that her comeuppance will occur, that her children will prove wiser than she and that other not-all-that-far-from-Disney things will happen. When it’s time to fess up to shortcomings and smell the roses at the end of the book, Chua deploys her sister’s illness to provide the necessary dose of carpe diem.

Chua’s husband Jed (yes, Jed) plays a large role in this story, even if he is made to sound like her hapless foil. He is presented as a handsome, charming and amazingly patient man, especially since his mother and wife had some similar traits. Jed is the fixture without which Chua’s book would not be possible. And he is often wrong, wrong, wrong about child rearing, which means that the reader will think he is right.

Jed happens to be Jed Rubenfeld, a novelist as well as a lawyer. His first book, a richly textured historical thriller, “The Interpretation of Murder,” was published in 2006. When Chua runs up expenses for extra music lessons in “Tiger Mother,” Jed is quoted as saying, “I’d better start on a sequel now.” That sequel, “The Death Instinct,” is about to come out. It lacks the sensationalism to rise as high on the charts as Chua’s book, but it’s a well-executed work of escapism and an emphatically good read.

Set in the post-World War I era, it has a notably smart, well-educated heroine and features Sigmund Freud as a character. And for reasons about which “Tiger Mother” readers can speculate, Rubenfeld sends Freud delving into the causes of shell shock.

Conservation history series’ second book focuses on Alaska “The Quiet World: Saving Alaska’s Wilderness Kingdom, 1879-1960”

by Douglas Brinkley (HarperCollins, 576 pgs., $29.99)

By Geoffrey Mohan Los Angeles Times

Fresh off his 800-plus-page Theodore Roosevelt biography, “Wilderness Warrior,” historian Douglas Brinkley tackles eight decades of American conservation history in “The Quiet World: Saving Alaska’s Wilderness Kingdom, 1879-1960.” Comparatively svelte at 576 pages, “A Quiet World” is the second of what Brinkley hopes will be his “Wilderness Cycle.”

“Allan Nevins wrote eight volumes on the Civil War and Dumas Malone wrote five volumes on Thomas Jefferson. My plan is to do something similar for U.S. conservation history,” Brinkley writes in his acknowledgments.

That’s a bold promise. Both authors won Pulitzer Prizes, and Malone also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Anyone attempting to move onto their shelf will have to deliver the goods.

Brinkley mostly does, providing a detailed account of the evolution of public policy and con-

servation philosophy that swirled around the 49th state from 1879, when John Muir began his eloquent prose epistles that brought “Seward’s Folly” into the popular imagination, to 1960, when what now is known as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was established.

It’s a historical and intellectual terrain as complex and outsized as the state itself — with just as many hazards. Among them are the towering peaks of American conservation: Muir, Teddy Roosevelt, Aldo Leopold. Brinkley carves these well-known figures with the tools of a skilled biographer. More importantly, the iconoclastic environmentalists who should be more familiar rise in three dimensions in Brinkley’s hands, getting overdue credit for their varied roles in saving wilderness.

Brinkley also unflinchingly wades into intellectual turf that might intimidate pure environmental writers, including the “nature faking” Roosevelt derided in Jack London’s work, and the cinematic fraud of early Disney documentaries, lambasted by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, whose role in conservation, Brinkley correctly notes, also is underappreciated.

‘Machine of Death’ offers killer stories “Machine of Death: A Collection of Stories About People Who Know How They Will Die” edited by Ryan North, Matthew Bennardo and David Malki (Bearstache Books, 468 pgs., $17.95)

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Machine of Death” is a collection of stories the whole family can enjoy, especially the Addams Family.

An episode of Ryan North’s “Dinosaur Comics” spawned this entertaining anthology.

North’s T. Rex mused about a machine that would sample a bit of your blood, then spit out a piece of paper with your fate inscribed in a few cryptic words, such as EXPLODED or POISONED APPLE. North’s readers loved the notion, he and his co-editors so-

licited short stories, and many DROWNINGS, CANCERS and the occasional HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE later, an anthology of 34 stories was born, each introduced with a graphic-novel-worthy illustration.

The Machine of Death is artfully, sometimes cruelly, vague in its predictions. For example, a girl who drew BOAT as her terminal fate avoided the sea but was killed when a towed cabin cruiser jackknifed in front of her on the freeway. The anthology’s authors enjoy tormenting their protagonists with those fatal ambiguities. But as a group, they also do a remarkable job of exploring the cultural changes

such a machine could bring.

In the opening story, Camille Alexa’s “FLAMING MARSHMALLOW,” getting the deathmachine printout has become a 16-year-old rite of passage and the verdict itself a barometer of status, or lack thereof. On the day she’ll draw her fate, 16year-old Carolyn hopes her future social life lies in the cafeteria’s coolest corner with “the burners, the drowners, the crashers, the livewires and the fallers — all the violent accidentals,” and dreads a card that would place her with the losers destined to die of sickness and old age.

Ben Croshaw also recasts social mores in the collection’s most shockingly titled story, “EXHAUSTION FROM HAV-

ING SEX WITH A MINOR.” It’s a talky tale of political intrigue that could be straight out of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, with a snappy twist at the end.

Writers from five continents contributed to the book. Wisconsin writer Jeffrey Wells’ story, “TORN APART AND DEVOURED BY LIONS,” imagines how a person might come to not only relish an unusual death sentence but also use it as an organizing principle for one’s life.

While I heartily recommend buying the book, North and his collaborators have made it easier to sample the stories before spending money. They’ve released a free PDF version online under a Creative Commons license at machineofdeath.net/ ebook. They’re also podcasting stories from the book.

After 60 years, a promise kept Family secrets at heart Barnaby Conrad writes the story Sinclair Lewis once suggested “The Second Life of John Wilkes Booth”

by Barnaby Conrad (Council Oak Books, 258 pgs., $25)

By Adam Nagourney New York Times News Service

CARPINTERIA, Calif. — The last time Barnaby Conrad saw Sinclair Lewis, three years after he served as Lewis’ personal secretary, they were at a bar in Paris and, by Conrad’s account, Lewis was thoroughly drunk.

But not so drunk that he couldn’t chastise his former secretary for failing to execute a book idea that Lewis had handed him one morning at breakfast: a novel based on the conceit that John Wilkes Booth had escaped capture after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln and had embarked on a secret life in the American frontier.

“You are never going to be a writer unless you write that book,” declared Lewis, the Nobel Prize-winning author of “Elmer Gantry” and “Babbitt,” as Conrad recounted the moment recently.

Talk about pressure.

“It was always on my mind,” he said.

That was 1950, shortly before Lewis’ death. And now, 60 years later — this must set a record for late authors — Conrad has published “The Second Life of John Wilkes Booth.” The novel follows the arc of the story Lewis sketched out: from Booth’s escape from the barn where history has him cornered and killed

by Union soldiers, to a frontier town where, after being goaded into playing Lincoln at a county pageant, he was assassinated by a drunken fellow Lincoln hater.

The conversation in the bar was no idle talk. Lewis and Conrad had signed a contract dated Aug. 7, 1947, stipulating that upon

NASA Continued from F1 A panel that oversees safety at NASA took note of the uncertainty in its annual report, released this month. “What is NASA’s exploration mission?” the members of the Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel asked in their report.

The panel added: “It is not in the nation’s best interest to continue functioning in this manner.

The Congress, the White House, and NASA must quickly reach a consensus position on the future of the agency and the future of the United States in space.”

‘A bad outcome’ A nagging worry is that compromises will leave NASA without enough money to accomplish anything, and that — even as billions of dollars are spent — the future destination and schedule of NASA’s rockets could turn out to be “nowhere” and “never.”

In that case, human spaceflight at NASA would consist just of its work aboard the International Space Station, with the Russians providing the astronaut transportation indefinitely.

“We’re on a path with an increasing probability of a bad outcome,” said Scott Pace, a former NASA official who now directs the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University.

A NASA study, completed last month, came up with a framework for spaceflight in the two next decades but deferred setting specific destinations, much less timetables for getting there.

One of the study’s conclusions was that trying to send astronauts to an asteroid by 2025 — as President Barack Obama had challenged the agency to do in a speech last April — was “not prudent,” because it would be too expensive and narrow.

Instead, the study advocated a “capability-driven framework” — developing elements like spacecraft, propulsion systems and deep-space living quarters that could be used and reused for a variety of exploration missions.

The track record for large aerospace development projects, both inside and outside of NASA, is that they almost always take longer and cost more than initially estimated. If costs for the

Barnaby Conrad, who recently finished writing “The Second Life of John Wilkes Booth,” is shown at his studio in his home in Carpinteria, Calif. Conrad promised Sinclair Lewis over 60 years ago that he would write the book based on the conceit that John Wilkes Booth had escaped capture after assassinating Lincoln and lived a secret life on the frontier. publication Lewis would collect 30 percent of the earnings.

It seems safe to say that Lewis’ warning was not borne out. “The Second Life” is Conrad’s 35th book, part of a variegated career of writing, painting, sculpture and bullfighting.

(That ended at 36 when he was gored in Spain and almost died.) And, not incidentally, Conrad spent 10 years as the proprietor of one of the great celebrity hangouts in San Francisco — El Matador, named after his 1952 book, “Matador,” his single best seller.

When asked what took him so long to finish, Conrad nearly bounded from his chair.

“What took me so long to start it!” he shot back, correctly, eyebrows arching.

When Lewis hired him to work at his home in Williamstown, Mass., Conrad was 25, struggling with his first book, about an affair with his housekeeper in Spain (don’t worry if you missed it) and thrilled to land an assignment

with such an acclaimed writer.

“I had to drive him around, and I had to have three meals a day with him,” said Conrad, an intellectually spry 88, settling back in his chair on a warm day of crystalline beauty in this community south of Santa Barbara. “He could be pretty irascible. But he was a character.”

His service to Lewis lasted five months. Lewis fired Conrad and left for Europe, taking as his escort (in Conrad’s telling) the young woman that Conrad thought he had been dating.

Conrad wasn’t entirely smitten with the Booth idea. Even the Paris run-in couldn’t get him going.

What moved him was his son, Barnaby Conrad III, a writer and magazine editor who in 2009 had joined Council Oak Books and was hunting for new acquisitions; a year later, 59 years after Lewis died, he signed his father for an advance of $5,000.

“I basically lit a fire under him again,” the younger Conrad said.

As a rule, family members probably should avoid editor-writer collaborations — the writer-editor

heavy-lift rocket swell, the project could, as Constellation did, divert money from other parts of NASA. Thus, many NASA observers wonder how the agency can afford to finance both the heavylift rocket and the commercial space taxis, which are supposed to begin flying at about the same time.

“They’re setting themselves up again for a long development program whose completion is beyond the horizon,” James Muncy, a space policy consultant, said of the current heavy-lift design.

“The question is, what does Congress want more? Do they want to just want to keep the contractors on contract, or do they want the United States to explore space?”

He called the situation at NASA “a train wreck,” one “where everyone involved knows it’s a train wreck.”

Constellation, started in 2005 under the Bush administration, aimed to return to the moon by 2020 and set up a base there in the following years. But Constellation never received as much money as originally promised, which slowed work and raised the overall price tag.

— over the next decade.

If the country was not willing to spend that much, NASA should be asked to do less, the panel said.

Support wanes for the moon goal When Obama was running for president, he said he supported the moon goal. But after he took office, he did not show much enthusiasm for it. His request for the 2010 fiscal year did not seek immediate cuts in Constellation but trimmed the projected spending in future years.

The administration also set up a blue-ribbon panel, led by Norman Augustine, a former chief executive of Lockheed Martin, to review the program. The panel found that Constellation could not fit into the projected budget — $100 billion over 10 years — and would need $45 billion more to get back on track.

Extending the space station five years beyond 2015 would add another $14 billion, the group concluded.

The panel could not find an alternative that would fit, either.

It said that for a meaningful human spaceflight program that would push beyond low-Earth orbit, NASA would need $128 billion — $28 billion more than the administration wanted to spend

Constellation canceled Last February, when unveiling the budget request for fiscal year 2011, the Obama administration said it wanted to cancel Constellation, turn to commercial companies for transportation to low Earth orbit and invest heavily in research and development on technologies for future deepspace missions.

The Obama budget requested more money for NASA — but for other parts of the agency like robotic science missions and aviation. The proposed allotment for human spaceflight was still at levels that the Augustine committee had said were not workable.

In pushing to cancel Constellation, one Obama administration official after another called it “unexecutable,” so expensive that it limped along for years without discernible progress.

“The fact that we poured $9 billion into an unexecutable program really isn’t an excuse to pour another $50 billion into it and still not have an executable program,” said James Kohlenberger, chief of staff of the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy, at a news conference last February.

At the same news conference, Lori Garver, NASA’s deputy administrator, noted that Constellation, without a budget increase, would not reach the moon until well after the 2020 target. “The Augustine report made it clear that we wouldn’t have gotten to beyond low Earth orbit until 2028 and even then would not have the funding to build the lander,” she said. But with the new road map, NASA may not get to its destinations any faster. As for the ultimate goal of landing people on Mars, which Obama said he wanted NASA to accomplish by the mid-2030s, it is slipping further into the future.

relationship is fraught enough as it is — but the son did some fairly hands-on editing to help achieve this difficult birth.

“I’m more into the highbrow intellectual style,” said the younger Conrad. “Dad is more into being the tale teller. So he’s fun to work with. You’d think he’d be, ‘Hey don’t tell me what to do.’ But no.”

Lincoln’s assassination has been the subject of as many conspiracy theories as John F. Kennedy’s; last month, descendants of Booth said they wanted the body in his grave exhumed to determine if it was genuine. Despite having written “The Second Life,” Conrad is not among the skeptics.

“No, no,” he said when asked if he thought Booth had escaped.

“People love to think that.”

He does subscribe to another theory: that the assassination was a conspiracy hatched by Edward Stanton, who was Lincoln’s secretary of war.

His home here — a beach cabin that he and his wife, Mary, built 45 years ago and that has been extended into a ramble of rooms and studios — attests to the sheer diversity of his pursuits. The walls are heavy with paintings by Conrad: a languorous one of Mary hangs in the dining room, and a stern and intimidating portrait of Lewis is in the living room. There are the framed telegrams from John Huston and Jose Ferrer proposing to turn “Matador” into a movie, which never happened. There are photographs of the bullfight where Conrad was gored. There are also telegrams from another writer and bullfight enthusiast, Ernest Hemingway, with some passing criticism of Conrad, reflecting a rivalry between two men who never met.

Approaching 90, he has no intention of slowing down. He still writes in longhand, doesn’t own a computer and neither knows nor seems to care how the Booth book is selling. Just as well: On the day of the interview his Amazon ranking stood at 559,985.

But no matter. He is on to book No. 36; the subject is his time with Sinclair Lewis. And more than anything, he is glad this 60year-old writing assignment has been completed.

“I feel relieved,” he said.

of new Edwards novel “The Lake of Dreams”

by Kim Edwards (Viking, 400 pgs., $26.96)

By Joy Tipping The Dallas Morning News

Kim Edwards’ debut novel, “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter” in 2006, whooshed like a tsunami through the literary landscape, becoming a huge best-seller and earning fierce loyalty among her readers.

Edwards followed “Memory Keeper” with republication of her 1997 collection of short stories, “The Secrets of a Fire King,” which was well-received but not nearly as popular as “Memory Keeper”; fans were clearly waiting for the next novel.

They can rejoice: “The Lake of Dreams” is finally here, and it’s a doozy, although it lacks the emotional heft that made readers clasp “Memory Keeper” to their hearts. Still, it’s gorgeously written and, for a book with a mystery at its core, refreshingly introspective.

Like Elizabeth Kostova (“The Swan Thieves”), Edwards is an author who’s not afraid to linger and pause, to let a character sit with a thought or problem and work it out on the page.

You won’t find car chases here or pounding suspense, but patient readers will come away with human insight worthy of a psychology text and a lot more interesting to read.

As in “Memory Keeper,” a family secret drives “Lake of Dreams,” a puzzle that goes back generations and traces its roots to a collection of intertwined circumstances. Among them are the 1910 appearance of Halley’s comet; the suffragist movement in upstate New York; and the burgeoning early 20thcentury industry in the Finger Lakes region, with glassworks taking the lead, both workaday glass and stained art glass in the tradition of Louis Comfort Tiffany and John La Farge.

The story is set in the fictional Lake of Dreams, one of a bevy of hamlets strung like beads along the Finger Lakes.

Heroine Lucy Jarrett, in her

(Kim) Edwards’ book is ... busy, and it’s complicated, but as a finished, carefully woven product, it turns into something luminously beautiful. late 20s, returns home from Japan, where she’s living with her boyfriend, Yoshi. Lucy has spent her young adulthood moving frequently, state to state, country to country, refusing to perch anywhere for long.

Once at her mom’s lake house, Lucy gets quickly drawn back into family drama. There’s a hint of “Hamlet,” with Lucy’s not-so-beloved Uncle Art assuming much of what she considers her father’s rightful place (he died years ago in a boating accident), and also strain over her mother’s new romance and ongoing friction with her brother and cousins. She’s also shaken by renewed proximity to glass artisan Keegan Fall, who was her teenage romance.

When Lucy discovers some old letters and pamphlets and a swath of beautifully woven cloth, tucked away in a window seat, it leads her back in time to ancestors she’d never heard of: Rose Jarrett and her daughter Iris. Rose, it seems, may have been the model for a series of glorious stained-glass windows that Keegan is restoring for the local church. But why were she and Iris expunged from the family history?

There are almost too many issues to keep up with here: women’s rights, American Indian rights, artistic integrity, family squabbles (and possible murder, it turns out), the tug of freedom vs. the comfort of familiarity.

Edwards’ book is much like her plot-central piece of cloth that was woven with interlocking moons and vines: It’s busy, and it’s complicated, but as a finished, carefully woven product, it turns into something luminously beautiful.

JOHN STEARNS

Executive optimism S

mall-business CEOs in Bend who are members of Vistage International, a peer-mentoring program for CEOs and key executives, are feeling pretty good these days about their businesses and the broader economy.

Their confidence parallels results of the fourth quarter Vistage CEO Confidence Index released earlier this month.

The index, which surveyed 1,729 CEOs in December, found more CEOs plan to hire and invest in their businesses, and expect higher revenues and profits.

That seemingly bodes well for a healthier economy going forward.

Vistage noted that the index, established in 2003, has been a leading indicator for changes in gross domestic product and employment two to three quarters later.

Asked about future prospects for the economy, 58 percent of CEOs last quarter said they expected improvement in 2011, according to a Vistage news release.

“This was the most favorable outlook for economic growth since the start of 2004,” the release said.

Dan Hobin, CEO of G5 in Bend, is a two-year Vistage member who participated in the survey and is among those feeling bullish both about his company, which has added 60 employees since the end of 2009, and the broader economy.

“Our clients are feeling better across the country,” Hobin said. “And they are starting to look at spending more money.”

Specific findings in the survey include: 77 percent of CEOs expect increased revenues in their company this year, 63 percent foresee higher profits, 46 percent planned to increase their investments in new plants and equipment, and 54 percent expect to hire more employees, the first time in three years that a majority planned to add jobs, the release said.

While optimistic about profits, issues that companies believe will limit profitability include impacts from the new health care legislation and limits on credit. Higher profits will mainly come from better sales prospects in the improving economy, the release said.

Operating in a growing field, building and marketing customers’ websites, G5 did “pretty well during the whole recession,” Hobin said. “As things turn around, I think that we’re going to do even better.”

G5 will continue to hire, but probably at a slower pace as it gets more efficient.

Hobin also expects more revenues and profits this year and says the company will invest in more software. Companies that spend on capital and tech can help pull the economy out of recession, he said. He expects to see significant hiring in tech this year as companies that leaned down during the recession ramp up to meet growth this year. He noted Google’s announcement last week that it plans to hire 6,200-plus people this year.

Kyle Buehner, CEO of Navis in Bend and five-plus year Vistage member who participated in the survey, says his confidence mirrors the index. He expects this year to beat the past two, “both for our own company and for the national economy as a whole.”

He also expects Navis to hire about 20 people this year, bringing it to nearly 100.

Deschutes Brewery’s Michael LaLonde, chief operating officer and chief financial officer, also sees growth continuing.

“I’m very optimistic,” said LaLonde, who joined Vistage early last year. “We’re in an industry that has had positive growth anyway,” he said. “Overall, the economy does seem to be turning.”

The company expects more revenue and income, is advertising for about five to seven employees locally and is planning to expand its brewing capacity in Bend.

“The only thing that we worry about is when inflation will kick in and we’re already seeing some increases in steel prices,” he said. If steel for brewing tanks gets too expensive — the company will decide this quarter whether to expand this year — it could delay the project or consider buying or working with other brewing facilities. Additionally, Deschutes is moving forward with plans to expand its downtown brewpub on the vacant lot next door, opening it by early next year.

The local Vistage CEO group is chaired

by Sunriver’s Bruce Juhola, who has 40plus years of management experience in tech companies. He said all nine people in his group mirror the national survey.

Let’s hope the index keeps rising and higher GDP and employment are close behind.

Historically, veterinarians traveled to treat their patients on location, and many still do, although determining how many can be difficult.

The American Veterinary Medical Society listed about 80,000 members as of Dec. 31, 2009, according to its website, but not how many consider themselves mobile or house-call veterinarians.

GUIDE FOR ENTREPRENEURS

LOS ANGELES — To paraphrase Apollo 13 astronaut Jack Swigert, “Hollywood, we have a problem.”

The industry that was supposed to be immune to economic downturns looks like it’s going to have some re-entry problems as the economy begins to recover.

Broad swaths of the entertainment business declined in 2010.

DVD sales were off 13 percent.

Music CD purchases plummeted 19 percent. Video game sales as well as concert and theater attendance also fell. And swift changes in technology will make it difficult for Hollywood to capture pre-recession levels of revenue.

So much for the value of escapism.

But perhaps most ominously, last summer the pay-television industry suffered an unprecedented net loss — for the first time — of customers, a yellow warning light that consumers may no longer regard cable TV as a must-have utility on par with electricity and phone service.

Cable and satellite subscriptions, DVD sales and video rentals long have been the profit pillars that supported Hollywood.

Although media executives continue to boast “content is king,” recently released year-end data suggest entertainment companies are vulnerable to the same disruptive forces that imperiled the music and newspaper industries.

“The studios and the content companies have become increasingly aware of the problem, but they seem collectively paralyzed about what to do about it,” said Craig Moffett, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. See TV / G5

Hatch your small business with a suitable incubator Ins, outs of calling New York Times News Service

New York Times News Service

In 1956, a hardware store manager named Joseph Mancuso converted an abandoned 850,000-square-foot manufacturing complex in Batavia, N.Y., into a new kind of facility he called the Batavia Industrial Center.

Not only would tenants receive office space, they would gain access to other entrepreneurs and experts willing to dole out business advice. Several businesses soon came calling, including a winery, a charitable organization and a chicken processor. It was Mancuso who, after seeing newly hatched chicks running around the facility, began calling it an “incubator.”

Today, there are about 1,200 business incubators in the United States. Most cater to a variety of businesses, according to Linda Knopp, director of policy analysis and research at the National Business Incubation Association.

Supporting such programs, most of which operate as nonprofits, has become a staple for many local governments and universities seeking to attract and retain entrepreneurial talent.

Mobile Continued from G1 Of the 484 vets in the state listed on the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association’s website, 25 indicate a mobile clinic, five of them in Central Oregon.

Dr. Keri Lynne McDowell, who operates Sunshine Mobile Veterinary Services in Sisters with her husband, Dr. Greg Black, said some vets may have gone mobile to survive.

“The economy is down,” said McDowell, who previously had an office but now travels, working out of clients’ homes and area clinics for more complex procedures.

“A lot of the multidoctor practices have cut back. It’s harder to find work, and the market is pretty flooded. A lot are going to mobile (practices),” McDowell said.

McDowell and other veterinarians say a mobile practice brings care to animals whose owners cannot get to a brick-and-mortar office.

Hodesson, a veterinarian for more than 30 years, moved from clinic to full-time mobile practice Jan. 1. Her focus on animal dentistry, along with her custom-made clinic on wheels, sets All Pets Smiling Veterinary Care apart.

She’s the only vet in Central Oregon, she said, to perform advanced dentistry, such as root canals and periodontal surgery.

She also preaches the importance of dental care for animals.

“I think dentistry is a basic thing that we’ve been neglecting for many years,” she said.

It’s also hard to miss the rolling clinic, its sides painted with orange and green waves and animal silhouettes, especially when parked at the curb in a residential neighborhood.

She will not perform chest surgeries or handle orthopedic problems. She does not work on horses, generally, although she will work on their teeth.

“About the only thing I don’t do is if someone is really, really sick, I (will treat them and take them to a hospital),” she said. “I do anything from mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, cats and rabbits.”

Dr. Deborah Hodesson operates All Pets Smiling Veterinary Care out of a vehicle outfitted as a complete vet clinic, allowing her to perform surgery and take X-rays.

University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine, moved to Bend in fall 2006, selling her practice and leaving the state she had worked in for 27 years.

A competitive triathlete and master swimmer, Hodesson fell in love with Bend after visiting a friend. Discovering its reputation as a dog-crazy town also helped seal her decision.

“I sold my home, quit my job down there and moved up here,” she said.

It’s also where she met Tom Cary, who became her husband, while she was treating his dog.

Hodesson joined Central Oregon Veterinary Group, which she left in July. She also served as a fill-in, or relief, veterinarian, and professionally, she serves as a district representative of the Oregon Veterinary Medical Association and president of the Central Oregon Veterinary Medical Association.

Earlier in her career, Hodesson had a house-call practice, where the veterinarian travels to provide treatment but generally not in a fully outfitted clinic.

Hitting the road again, she said, could help her fulfill several career goals.

It would give her more flexibility and increase the potential for treating animals whose owners,

such as the elderly, cannot get to a clinic. She travels to retirement and assisted-living homes, treating residents’ pets.

Mobility also allows her to practice advanced dentistry.

Everything fell into place, she said, when La Boit Inc., an Ohiobased maker of mobile clinics, bloodmobiles and police command centers, let her know it had a repossessed vet clinic for sale with less than 10,000 miles.

Hodesson, 59, wants to become a board-certified veterinary dentist. She’s working in a residency program, which she expects will take six or seven years.

To gain experience, she also volunteers with the The Peter Emily International Veterinary Dental Foundation, which provides advanced dentistry for captive animals in sanctuaries and rescue facilities.

On missions with the foundation, Hodesson has pulled teeth, performed root canals and provided other treatment to chimps, bears, wolves ferrets, cougars, lions and tigers.

“I love wildlife, and I love fixing them up,” she said. “The big cats, I can just hold their paws and look at them. They are so beautiful.”

Her ultimate business goal: building up her practice enough to hire another veterinarian. She

Calls Continued from G1 Then came the era of cell phones that could connect to the Internet. What a mind-boggler! Doesn’t that mean that app phones (like iPhone and Android phones) could, in theory, make free “phone calls” over the Internet, bypassing voice networks?

Your Internet calls would never use up any of your minutes.

You’d save all kinds of money.

You’d rock the very foundations of the telecom world.

Well, we’re getting there.

There’s still no app that offers all three of these elements: free calls, to regular phone numbers, from your cell phone. That, of course, would be the ultimate.

For now, you can choose only two of the three. For example, you can make free calls to any phone number — but only from your computer (Google Voice).

Or you can make free calls from your cell phone to other owners of an app (Fring, Skype, TruPhone) — but not to actual phone numbers.

To prepare this report on the state of Internet calling, I made a lot of calls in all kinds of different configurations: to a cell phone, to a landline, over Wi-Fi, over cellular, and so on. Over time, it became clear that Internet calling apps represent an excellent exercise in expectation-lowering.

For example, compared with regular cell phone calling, Internet calls usually take longer to connect. The sound quality is almost always inferior; you’d describe it as muffled, faint or distant.

Finally, the voice delay is measurably worse on Internet calls.

During each test, I conducted a little experiment: I told my calling partner that I was going to count to three, and asked her to say “three” simultaneously with me. Even on a typical cell phone call, I hear her “three” distinctly late — a half second or so. But on Internet calls, that delay is usually a full second or even more.

Don’t try to practice your comic timing on an Internet call.

Ordinarily, calling apps connect to the Internet when you’re in a Wi-Fi hot spot. When you’re

also hopes to educate clients and other veterinarians about dental care, along with treating the animals.

“One of my goals is to have everyone in Bend brushing their pets’ teeth every day,” she said.

When Hodesson attended veterinary school, students didn’t spend much time on dentistry, she said, but it’s important to animals, as it is for people. Untreated dental problems can lead to serious health issues and cause chronic pain.

Of the animals Hodesson treats, she said about 90 percent have dental problems. The American Veterinary Dental College backs her up, calling gum disease the most common problem in pets.

Dental work on animals can be expensive. A root canal can cost between $600 and $1,200, depending on the work involved.

But fixing teeth also can make a difference in pets’ behavior.

Hodesson has had clients who initially sought her help believing they would need to euthanize their pets because they appeared so ill.

But days after diagnosing and treating the pets’ dental problems, the owners call back asking for tranquilizers for the animals. Pain relief has left the pets bouncing around the house.

Dental problems also can be

not, these apps can connect to the Internet over your cell phone company’s data network. In that setup, though, the results are disappointing; the sound is muffled and delayed, and, if you’re driving, the calls drop frequently. Internet calling apps are generally worth using only when you’re on Wi-Fi. Exaggerating the abilities of these apps is par for the course.

Skype and Fring, for example, claim to permit phone-to-phone video chats, even when you’re not using Wi-Fi. In practice, the quality and delays are so horrific that the feature is unusable.

Despite all of these drawbacks, though, these apps offer two unassailable benefits. First, of course, they can save you a lot of money. If you make most of your calls over Wi-Fi, you can downgrade to a cheaper cell phone calling plan, because you’re using fewer minutes. (If you have Line2, Pinger or Google Voice, you can also cancel your textmessaging plan because they offer unlimited free texting.)

And second, these Wi-Fi apps let you make solid calls indoors — precisely where cellular coverage is weakest.

DEEDS D eschutes County

difficult to catch without regular exams, Hodesson said. It took a teeth cleaning on her own dog, S’Kaana, a black Lab, for Hodesson to notice a broken tooth.

Spotting Sage’s broken tooth, which led to Wednesday’s root canal, was not difficult for Swendseid.

A dog trainer for 14 years, he noticed the problem during a training exercise, when Sage brought back a decoy weapon she retrieved from a fleeing suspect.

Having the root canal performed at the curb in front of his southeast Bend home made traveling and scheduling easier for Swendseid, who works full time in mental health intake and competes in tournament fishing, along with training dogs.

Being able to carry Sage into the van and lay her on the table also involved him in the process, he said.

“I feel better about it. I know that (she’s) right here,” he said, while standing on his lawn. “I know that this dog is going to be taken care of specifically, right now.”

Being trained as a potential security dog, Sage is not only a family pet, she’s also a potential business investment. The root canal keeps her healthy and protects that investment.

But Swendseid said he would have Sage treated, even if she was only a pet.

“If I could afford it, I would definitely do it,” he said.

ANSWER: Depending upon your aesthetic priorities and exactly what facial features you have, a number of minimally invasive products and procedures are available that can help achieve your goals. For example, Botox® and/or injectable soft tissue fillers (there are many) or even your own fat from other areas of your body can be utilized to help smooth out tiny lines, shape facial contours or sculpt lips to perfection. At Bend Plastic Surgery we specialize in all aspects of minimally invasive facial procedures such as fat transfers.

Kelley Mingus, D.M.D.

ANSWER: Bruxism, or grinding of your teeth is a very common problem.

It is however a complex problem to completely understand. Until recently we were unable to prevent grinding and therefore were limited to treatment in the form of a night guard. Night guards can be effective at protecting your teeth if your grinding is just limited to night time grinding. Most people that suffer from bruxism are not limited to just night time grinding and actually have times during the day when they grind their teeth. The severity of bruxism can vary dramatically from one individual to another. Some cases are so severe that they can literally grind their teeth down to the gums.

Grinding of your teeth is primarily a musculature problem with a neurological component. It can almost always be linked back to slight developmental problems as youngsters and is linked to the quality of the airway during our early developmental years. The results of these early developmental problems leave us with an imbalance within the muscles associated with our bite.

When our teeth come together the muscles that close our bite and the muscles that open our bite should be neutral. If they are not neutral, then a muscle imbalance, or a “muscle war” starts and results in bruxism.

Treatment can be in the form of a night guard if you are a mild grinder, only grind at night, and can tolerate an appliance while you sleep. If you don’t fit in this category then you need a different kind of treatment. Ideal treatment will stop your grinding and create harmony within your system. We treat moderate to severe bruxism by studying the muscles to determine the ideal position for your bite based on neutral muscles. The studies are very simple but involve sophisticated computer software and result in a very detailed understanding of why you grind. Once we have determined the problem, treatment is very predictable and usually results in the elimination of grinding.

Treatment should always focus on the problem and not just the symptom.

N AT U R A L M E D I C I NE QUESTION: Is hCG injection for weight loss really helpful in losing weight and reducing the chances of gaining the weight right back?

ANSWER: hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) for weight loss is not a new concept. It has been used in Europe for over 50 years and is based on the work of Dr. Albert T. Simeon. hCG is produced by the body during pregnancy and has historically been used in the Kerie Raymond, treatment of fertility and as an adjunct in testosterone N.D. replacement therapy. According to Dr. Simeon, hCG in the treatment of obesity helps to mobilize non-essential fat, decrease hunger pain, and reset the metabolic rate by its effects on the pituitary and thyroid gland. Based on Simeon’s research individuals lose roughly one pound each day and 85% do not gain weight back through what he calls a “resetting of the metabolic rate”. Dr. Simeon’s work is very controversial and strikes a chord in the multi-billion dollar diet industry. A review of literature found no statistical difference in weight loss between hCG plus low calorie diet and a low calorie diet alone. However, the hCG group did not gain as much weight back on follow-up and reported better well-being and less hunger than the low calorie diet alone. It must be kept in mind these were small studies.

We will be conducting a Weight loss/Detox class as a prelude to the hCG program starting Jan. 11th. Please call our ofice for more details.

QUESTION: I grind my teeth and am wondering why I grind and how I can stop? I am worried that I will grind them away. My dentist made me a guard but I take it out while I’m sleeping without knowing.

QUESTION: My husband and I have been under a tremendous amount of stress over the past two years.

Can acupuncture help us?

diagnosed with gastric ulcers. I have occasional abdominal pain over my stomach. How do I go about finding out if I have an ulcer?

ANSWER: Gastric ulcer or Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is a common problem and can be diagnosed with several different tests. The most accurate study is an esophagogastroduodenoscopy or EGD. This is Kevin Reuter, performed under light anesthesia and a camera is passed M.D. into the stomach and first part of the small intestine to visualize the lining of the alimentary tract. Biopsies can be taken and bleeding controlled if an ulcer is visualized. The bacteria Helicobacter pylori can cause ulcers and treatment with a cocktail of medications including antibiotics can then be commenced if the bacteria is detected. Other ways to check for the bacteria are with a blood test, stool test, or a urea breath test. Risk factors for developing ulcers include smoking, alcohol abuse, illicit drug use, and use of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or aleve. Complications such as stomach perforation or gastric outlet obstruction can occur if ulcers are left untreated.

In general, if you have had an ulcer, you should be on medication to help suppress gastric acid and your doctor can help you decide which medication to choose.

ANSWER: There are many older adults in this situation. Most remain at home or live in a retirement community in “independent living.”

They rely on family members or hire someone to provide the assistance they need each day/ week.

Another option is a service that Touchmark introduced last year. It’s called Support Suites™ and is ideal for people who need moderate care on a scheduled basis. Essentially, it’s a step between independent living and assisted living. Care is provided by licensed home care or home health professionals, and people pay only for the services they have scheduled. Folks tell us they like this option, because they get the help they need, and they are already living in a supportive environment with other services available if their needs increase.

Our retirement counselors can help identify the options that best meet people’s needs. Please contact us at 541-383-1414.

QUESTION : Dr. Villano, as I age I have noticed hollowing around my eyes in addition to excess skin. What options are available to me?

A NSWER : For upper and lower eyelid hollowing there are several options. A Michael E. Villano, temporary option is a dermal filler such M.D. as Restylane or Juvederm to reill the area.

A more permanent option is fat grafting, often called fat transfer or lipstructure. In this procedure the facial plastic surgeon uses the patient’s own tissue to replace fat loss in the eyelid areas and restore a more youthful look. Oftentimes, a traditional blepharoplasty (eye surgery) is performed. While this may lead to a more refreshed look, a traditional blepharoplasty removes fat from the eye area, which I do not recommend for someone with eyelid hollowing.

Incubator

EXIT RULES Most operate like the classic model.

of time. Eventually, they are given the opportunity to market their businesses to investors.

Continued from G1 The following guide breaks down the four most common types of incubator and offers tips on identifying which might be best for you.

EXAMPLES Blue Ridge Food Ventures (Asheville, N.C.); Sparkseed (San Francisco).

COST Typically a 6 percent equity stake in return for about $18,000 in seed financing.

The classic

BEST FOR First-timers who require specialized instruction or access to specialized equipment.

EXIT RULES Programs usually last for 90 days, although companies can continue to use the program’s network of mentors.

PROGRAM Like Mancuso’s original, these incubators operate out of a shared building where tenants have subsidized rent, access to computers, office equipment, staff members and experts.

COST Fee-based, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a month, which covers expenses like office space, equipment rental and kitchen access.

EXIT RULES Most programs expect tenants to “graduate” within three to five years.

Sarah Schomber, left, and Jeannine Buscher, of Buchi, which makes fermented and unpasteurized tea, remove a tea bag from a fresh batch at their warehouse. With the help of incubator Blue Ridge Food Ventures, of Asheville, N.C., they now brew their tea in their own facility.

EXAMPLES Cambridge Innovation Center (Cambridge, Mass.), TechColumbus (Columbus, Ohio).

QUESTIONS TO ASK Can you break the lease? What kinds of companies are current tenants starting? Will the incubator give you contact information for former tenants? What kinds of experience do staff members have? Will you have contact with outside professionals?

ial Leadership at the University of Virginia.

The university

HOW IT WORKS Budding entrepreneurs at the University of Virginia’s business incubator, for example, are given a $13,000 stipend and coaching and feedback on their business plans. Participants can also attend lectures and workshops on topics like intellectual property and accounting.

BEST FOR First-timers or those looking to connect in new industries.

HOW IT WORKS It is based on shared knowledge, said Tim Rowe, founder and chief executive of the Cambridge Innovation Center, which houses 300 early-stage companies in a facility owned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Tenants pay from $250 a month to $1,100 a month per person with no limit on how long they can stay.

GRADUATES SAY David Rose has founded two medical device companies, Ambient Devices and Vitality, at the Cambridge center: “There is a viral energy and camaraderie.

You can get a lot of good advice simply by walking into the elevator.”

PROGRAM Offers access to equipment and experienced staff.

COST Typically free (some programs offer grants) but limited to current students or alumni.

EXIT RULES Many programs expect the company to graduate when the student does.

EXAMPLES ARCH New Business Incubator at the University of Chicago, Darden Center for Entrepreneur-

BEST FOR Student entrepreneurs looking to spend the summer or school year fleshing out an idea with the help of professors, fellow students and alumni.

GRADUATES SAY George Aspland, Scott Roberts and Adam Rodnitzky graduated in 2008 from the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago. Unlike many of their classmates who turned their MBAs into jobs on Wall Street or with big companies, they decided to start a business together and

enrolled in the ARCH incubator.

Within a year, their company, ReTel Technologies, had a plan to use crowd-sourcing to analyze surveillance videos. “Our time in the incubator helped us reorient and come up with a plan we could execute,” Rodnitzky said.

QUESTIONS TO ASK Does the program offer a stipend? What restrictions come with the money? Who are the professors and the staff members who will be advising you and what kinds of experiences do they have?

The niche PROGRAM Most niche incubators offer facilities and advice at a reduced cost to companies with a specialized focus — for example, food or social entrepreneurship.

COST Typically fee-based, although some programs take equity stakes.

HOW IT WORKS Many aspiring food entrepreneurs think they can make a few dollars selling cookies made with their grandmother’s secret recipe, said Mary Lou Surgi, executive director of Blue Ridge Food Ventures, but most do not have the equipment or the wherewithal to build a business. At Blue Ridge, they can also take classes offered by Surgi: “Most people that come here have never even thought of things like food safety or how to market and distribute their product.”

GRADUATES SAY Jeannine Buscher and Sarah Schomber, the founders of Buchi, which makes fermented and unpasteurized tea: “We could never have afforded the kind of place we have now two years ago,” Buscher said. “It’s hard to say what kind of business we would have today if we didn’t have Blue Ridge Food Ventures to help us get started.” They started out in Buscher’s dining room but now brew their bottled beverages in a 6,000-foot-facility of their own.

QUESTIONS TO ASK What kinds of companies are current tenants starting? Will the incubator give you contact information for former tenants? What kinds of experiences have staff members had? Are they knowledgeable about the specific kind of business you are considering?

The accelerator PROGRAM Most accelerators, which are run by groups of experienced business owners and investors, require entrepreneurs to move to a facility for a specified amount

EXAMPLES TechStars (Boston; Boulder, Colo.; New York; Portland), Y Combinator (San Francisco); Joystick Labs (Raleigh, N.C.) BEST FOR Fast-growth companies that want to attract investors.

HOW IT WORKS You get 90 days of intense focus from a team of experienced entrepreneurs and investors, said Brad Feld, co-founder of TechStars.

While TechStars aims at technology companies, Y Combinator accepts a wide variety of companies. The Brandery, in Cincinnati, provides 90 days of feedback on a company’s marketing and advertising strategies. Joystick Labs accepts only entrepreneurs interested in building gaming companies.

GRADUATES SAY Lina Chen, chief executive of Nix Hydra Games, moved from Shanghai to Raleigh to connect with smart, ambitious people at Joystick Labs. “I felt that participating in the program would save us time and money in the long run because of the kind of people who would be helping us grow our company,” Chen said.

QUESTIONS TO ASK How much equity do you have to give up to participate? How much investment capital do you receive in return? How many of the program’s graduates have raised money or found a buyer? Where will you live while participating in the program?

Weekly Arts & Entertainment

TV Continued from G1 2010 now looks to be a watershed year in the confluence of two powerful trends.

Affordable alternatives The first of those forces, technology, is enabling people to get entertainment in cheaper and easier ways.

And the second, the anemic economy, is widening the gulf between the haves and the havenots, making it tougher for some consumers to justify paying for cable or tossing a new DVD into the shopping cart.

“Right now it is a tale of two cities,” Moffett said. “On the high end, people can’t go up-market fast enough,” he said, referring to affluent consumers who are buying the latest in mobile phones, portable tablets or Internet-connected TV sets. “Then you have this other half of the country that is being largely ignored in this discussion.”

The “other half” encompasses the lower 40 percent of American earners, who, after paying for food, housing and transportation, are left with just $100 a month to pay for health care, clothing, phone service — and entertainment, Moffett said.

One of them, Rebekah Atkinson, a graduate of Biola University in La Mirada, Calif., found herself making necessary sac-

rifices after losing her job two years ago. She disconnected her mobile phone and sliced her food budget to make ends meet. The 30-year-old La Jolla, Calif., resident ultimately found a job that paid 60 percent of her previous paycheck. A year later, her husband lost his job, precipitating another round of household cuts.

“The cable bills were starting to come up higher and higher.

Before we knew it, we were paying $200 a month on the cable package,” Atkinson said. “That’s a car payment for some people. It had to go.”

The most profound shift among consumers has been toward renting movies and away from buying them, which has enormous financial consequences for Hollywood.

Thanks to the proliferation of Redbox kiosks, which offer $1a-night movie rentals, cost-conscious consumers have an inexpensive alternative to buying the DVD for $19.99 — representing a significant blow in revenue to the studios. Blu-ray high-definition discs were expected to pick up the slack, but consumers have been slow to embrace the more expensive format.

High-speed broadband access, now available to two-thirds of all homes, is also helping to cap the onetime home video gusher.

Services such as Netflix Inc. are able to pump a carousel of movies instantly into the home via the Internet for only $8 a month. The popularity of the

company’s streaming service has skyrocketed: 66 percent of Netflix’s 17 million subscribers use it, eliminating the need to receive DVDs in the mail through Netflix’ trademark red envelopes or to run out to the corner video store.

Studio revenue from home video rentals amounted to less than $1.7 billion in each of the last two years, compared with $2.97 billion in 2001 — more than a billion-dollar drop in less than a decade, according to market researcher Screen Digest.

“Studios get a double negative whammy from rental’s strength,” said Tom Adams, principal media analyst for Screen Digest. “Transactions are growing, but consumer spending is not, because they’re getting ’em cheaper.”

Meanwhile, theater attendance last year was off nearly 5 percent compared with 2009, as exhibitors charged more for movies in 3-D. It’s not difficult to see why movie viewers are staying home.

“There’s no popcorn, no babysitter, no expensive soda. You just sit on the couch,” said Michael Nathanson, media analyst with Nomura Securities International Inc.

Gadgets galore But the sour economy and high unemployment, with 14 million people out of work, account for only part of the problem.

Some analysts think the explosion of Internet-connected TVs and portable devices is leading to permanent shifts in consumer behavior — at least among a certain segment.

Affluent buyers appear more than willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for sexy new gadgets that alter the way they access entertainment. Apple Inc. sold 7.5 million iPads within the first six months of their introduction — even before the holiday stampede. The tablet, which retails for $500 or more and can be used as a portable flat-screen TV, is on track to become the fastestgrowing consumer product in history, according to Bernstein Research.

Tablets provide a measure of comfort for media companies because the appeal of these devices hinges on the ability to conveniently check sports scores, read news stories, play games and watch TV shows and movies. Executives see the trend as evidence that it’s not consumers’ appetite for entertainment that is diminishing, only how they receive it.

But consumers have proved that although they are willing to shell out for gadgets, they view content as cheap filler and are less willing to pay to own it. Because video is seemingly ubiquitous, consumers no longer feel they need to own a DVD or digital downloaded file to watch a movie or TV show.

Winter Allergies GivingYou the Blues?

See a Board Certified Allergist/Immunologist.

Sniffles and sneezes are common during the winter months, yet they’re not always due to colds and flu. Although people with pollen allergies may find a reprieve when the weather cools, those with other allergy triggers — such as mold, dust mites and pet dander — can be just as miserable in winter.

Symptoms Of Winter Allergies?

Coughing, dark circles under eyes, itchy, watery eyes and nose, runny nose, sneezing.

Healthy Tips:

• Your allergist can help you identify things in your home, workplace or school that may be making your asthma or allergies worse.

• Keep your home clean and dry to help make it “allergen-free.”

• Focus on sites where allergens accumulate-bedding, carpet and upholstered furniture.

• Weekly vacuuming can help. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter or double bags.

The right care can make the difference between suffering with an allergic disease and feeling better. By visiting an experienced allergist, you can expect an accurate diagnosis, a treatment plan that works and educational information to help you manage your disease.

2011 Grand Cherokee provides proof Chrysler’s far from dead

By Warren Brown

Tires are the first thing to check when your vehicle pulls to the side

Special to The Washington Post

DETROIT — Comebacks can announce themselves in subtle ways. Witness the transport trailers parked at Chrysler Group’s Jefferson Avenue North Plant here. The Daimler name is missing — obviously erased from what had been the DaimlerChrysler logo. Chrysler’s name stands alone, proudly.

It matR E V I E W ters not that Chrysler is now owned

by Italy’s Fiat. To many of the workers and their union representatives here, that is just a funding arrangement, the result of a global financial system gone awry.

What matters is that Fiat, so far, has had the good sense to avoid Daimler’s folly. When the German manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz cars and trucks took over Chrysler in 1998, it treated the American company as a second-class citizen, as if Chrysler had never developed anything, had never made a contribution to the automobile industry.

Fiat’s approach is different. It recognizes that Chrysler’s people have done as much as any others in advancing the cause of personal and commercial wheeled transportation. It values pride in craftsmanship. In what has amounted to a multibillion-dollar investment, effectively funded by American and Italian taxpayers (which is another story), Fiat has chosen to let Chrysler do what Chrysler does best, which is to build some of the world’s most sought-after trucks and sport utility vehicles under its Dodge and Jeep nameplates.

The validity of Fiat’s strategy is evident in this week’s subject vehicle, the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit. It is a luxury SUV outfitted with supple leather-covered seats, a panoramic glass roof and all the latest infotainment electronics.

Like other modern SUVs, the Grand Cherokee Overland Summit, available with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, is a work of unitized-frame construction — used to reduce vehicle weight and increase fuel economy. This more carlike approach also offers better handling than the more trucklike body-on-frame process.

The trick is to move from bodyon-frame to unitized-frame construction without undermining the primary appeal of an SUV as a go-anywhere, do-everything vehicle — a bit of magic the new

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

A: Chrysler Group LLC via The Associated Press

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit manages to combine the more carlike feel of a unitized-frame construction without losing sight of its go-anywhere, do-everything SUV roots. It beats Dodge’s Durango and Ford’s Explorer in off-road handling and dealing with snow and ice on paved roads.

2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit Base price: $41,910 As tested: $42,690 Type: Front-engine midsize sport utility vehicle of unitized-body construction. It has four side doors and a rear liftgate. It is available with rear-wheel drive or with a choice of three four-wheel-drive systems.

Engine: A 3.6-liter, 24-valve Pentastar V-6 with variable valve lift and timing (290 horsepower, 260 foot-pounds of torque) is standard. It is linked to a five-speed transmission that can be operated automatically or manually. A 5.7-liter V-8 (360 horsepower, 390 foot-pounds of torque) is optional.

Mileage: Mileage was affected by wintry weather, climbs and congestion idling. The vehicle averaged 21 miles per gallon in mostly highway travel.

Grand Cherokee Overland Summit pulls off nicely.

Indeed, of the three 2011 midsize SUVs I’ve driven recently — the Dodge Durango Crew, the Ford Explorer XLT and this week’s Grand Cherokee Overland Summit — the Grand Cherokee stands out as the best in off-road handling and in dealing with snow and ice on paved roads. The rear-wheel-drive Durango delivers the best performance on dry, paved roads, and the nimble four-wheel-drive Explorer is the perfect bridge SUV — remarkably competent on paved roads and in the rough.

So why applaud the 2011 Grand Cherokee? It’s simple.

The new model is the best Grand Cherokee in the 27-year history of that model (including those designed under the aegis of the defunct American Motors Corp.).

That’s a remarkable accomplishment considering the administrative/ownership and financial hell Chrysler has gone through in the past five years, including bankruptcy in 2009.

The 2011 Grand Cherokee,

of which the Overland Summit sits at the top of three Grand Cherokee models, is a testament to the human spirit. It is the four-wheeled equivalent of that big bronze right arm and fist suspended from a pyramidal support in the heart of this hard-knock city’s downtown — a tribute to Detroit’s Joe Louis, the late, great boxing champion.

It’s difficult to feel anything but pride sitting in the Overland Summit. Chrysler and its people were supposed to have been down and out. They had been used and abused by the Germans, ridiculed by their own countrymen, beaten to a corporate pulp by Wall Street and Washington, and finally sold to the lowest bidder, which happened to be Fiat. The U.S. and foreign news media had voted it the car company most likely to die and stay dead.

But Chrysler, as represented by the Overland Summit and its siblings, the Grand Cherokee Laredo and Limited, has come back swinging. Fit and finish are among best in class. The new

Pentastar V-6 (290 horsepower, 260 foot-pounds of torque) delivers good power and equally good, for a workhorse SUV, fuel economy (16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway).

I drove the 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit nearly 800 miles, mostly in and around the Catskills Mountains region in New York in severe winter weather. To me, proof of Chrysler’s comeback was in the safety and ease of my coming and going in that frozen mess. The Grand Cherokee Overland Summit never slipped or lost its grip moving uphill or downhill. It just kept going, grinding it out, much like the people at Chrysler’s Jefferson Avenue North Plant here, where it’s made.

Ride, acceleration and handling: Both the 2011 Ford Explorer XLT (four-wheel drive) and the 2011 Dodge Durango Crew (rear-wheel drive and also made

by Chrysler) beat the Grand Cherokee Overland Summit in handling on dry, paved roads.

They are lighter, more nimble and more maneuverable. But the Grand Cherokee Overland Summit clobbers the competition offroad. It’s the one you want in the rough. Paved-road acceleration is excellent.

Head-turning quotient: Stately, attractive, rugged without adolescence — the adult’s SUV. Capacities: There are seats for five people. Cargo capacity is 68.3 cubic feet with rear seats folded and 36.3 cubic feet with rear seats up. With the V-6, the four-wheel-drive Overland can be equipped to tow 5,000 pounds.

The V-8 version can be equipped to tow up to 7,400 pounds.

A: Very soon—Waiting

for Forever, a romantic drama, opens Feb. 4. In a case of art imitating life, Bilson, 29, plays a young actress—but she insists that’s where the similarities end. “Emma is a lot harder than I am,” she says. “She’s not happy.” Bilson, on the other hand, is. “Any role makes you question things about yourself, but my life is pretty good right now. The challenge is bringing likability to women who come off as cold or unsympathetic.

I think everyone has a soft center, though.

Mine’s pretty mushy.”

f dec. 31 already seems like ancient history, here’s your chance

for a do-over: Celebrate the Chinese New Year on Feb. 3, the beginning of the lunar year. The Chinese mark the occasion with parades and parties—and a egf long list of traditions intended to bring fortune in the months ahead. So if you could use a little luck in the Year of the Rabbit, here are a few customs to observe: 1. Sweep for success. Clean your house from top to bottom to expel the dust and disappointments of the past year and usher in a bright future. Decorate with plants or flowers, symbolic of rebirth. But remember: All work must be done by midnight on Feb. 2. Swing a Swiffer on New Year’s Day and you’ll push luck right out the door.

2. Dress for the occasion. Buy new clothes to wear on New Year’s Day; they represent new beginnings. Even better, get something red—it’s considered a lucky color.

3. Add luck to your menu. Have dinner on Chinese New Year’s Eve with your family, consuming fortune-boosting foods like nian gao (sweet sticky rice cakes), dumplings, and a whole fish, symbolic of progress, togetherness, and abundance.

But there’s nothing ethereal about this spellbinding exploration of innocence, devotion, and experience.

I read that chocolate contains caffeine.

Yet I’ve also read that the stimulant in chocolate has a different chemical composition from caffeine. Can you explain? Eating chocolate neither keeps me awake nor boosts my energy, but caffeinated beverages such as coffee certainly do.

—Nancy Sharp, Salt Lake City

Caffeine (mostly in coffee, less in tea, and a little in chocolate), theophylline (mainly in tea), and theobromine (chiefly in chocolate) belong to the same class of compounds—mild stimulants. However, they vary significantly in their action.

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system (CNS), theophylline stimulates the CNS differently and to a lesser degree, and theobromine does not stimulate the CNS at all.

I don’t root for any team. I’m not interested and I never was. I think there’s a microchip missing in my brain. Someone said, “Oh, you ought to take up golf; a lot of actors play golf.” So I got some lessons.

I was never so bored in all my life.

You seem very fit, though. Do you work out?

Yes, I do weights, the treadmill, that sort of thing. About 90 minutes five days a week.

Any guilty pleasures that you indulge in?

No, I don’t think so. Oh, God, I sound very boring.

Not at all…but let’s just say I don’t picture you watching a lot of American television.

Oh, I love it! American Idol, Dancing 6 • January 30, 2011

Anthony Hopkins The acclaimed actor likes everything about his adopted country—starting with American Idol fge with the Stars—I watch all that stuff.

The other one I like is The Apprentice. I just think it’s a hoot. When I first came here, I used to watch I Love Lucy and The Andy Griffith Show. I’ve been a movie fan all my life, especially American movies.

And I love Westerns; I’ve just TiVo’d two John Wayne movies.

You also paint. How did that come about?

I used to draw in my scripts with colored ink.

Before we got married, my wife found all these scripts and said that for the wedding I should do 75 paintings and give them as party gifts. After that, she said, “You really are good, and you ought to paint.” Now I’ve got a permanent gallery in Hawaii.

You became an American citizen in 2000, and when you came here in the early 1970s you said you felt “at home.” What about the U.S. made you feel that way?

I’ve thought a lot about that lately.

When I was a kid, I was very backward in school; I had the lowest marks. And I didn’t have any kids to play with in the playground.

I just didn’t fit in anywhere. I became an actor to see if that would help me to feel at peace with myself, but I never did. I felt I was a complete outsider in my own country. I came to California to be in a movie, and I liked the weather, the anonymity, the spaciousness of America. You can do whatever you like here. So, symbolically, I ran away from that playground and came to a bigger one.

You’ve talked about driving around in the States—what do you drive and what do you listen to?

My wife and I have an SUV and like to wander. We both like country-western music—Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton.

What’s better in your seventies?

[Laughs] I’m very happy, that’s all I can say.

A

People often think of you as the villainous Hannibal Lecter.

Can you tell us something sweet about yourself?

I’m always buying gifts and flowers for my wife. She appreciates that, and then I get rewards. She makes me breakfast and brings it to me when I’m in bed.

The Cold Wars It’s that drippy, achy time of year. Ugh. Here’s how to arm yourself for battle.

Throughout history, humankind has come up with lots of wacky “treatments” for the common cold. And modern science hasn’t fared much better: Even though it’s the world’s most prevalent illness, we still don’t have a cure.

Dr. Birgit Winther, an otolaryngologist and part of a coldresearch team at the University of Virginia, is one of the top experts on the subject. For 30 years, this tidy, petite scientist has studied the untidy subject of sneezes, coughs, and runny noses. She’s the kind of

fearless researcher who weighs dirty tissues, harvests mucus from swollen nostrils, and smears it on phones and light switches.

Not a glamorous job, but it’s all in the name of vanquishing a universal—and universally debilitating—disease. Each of us gets as many as 200 colds in a lifetime, adding up to some five years of sickness and as much as a year in bed. Colds annually send Americans to the doctor 100 million times, account for over 1.5 million ER visits, and keep kids home from school more than 20 million days. The estimated yearly cost? A staggering $40 to $60 billion.

Despite the fact that colds are ubiquitous, we’re surprisingly clueless about their causes and treatments. Here, at the height of the sick season, are Winther’s six truths about the common cold.

© PARADE Publications 2011. All rights reserved.

We’re our own worst enemies.

1

“For years, scientists thought cold symptoms resulted from damage done by the cold viruses themselves,” Winther says. As it turns out, all that sneezing, coughing, and congestion is actually caused by our own bodies. In response to an intruding virus, our immune systems pump out chemicals that cause our noses to run, heads to throb, and throats to swell.

“One cold differs from another because of the way the host body responds,” Winther says. That explains why you may come down with a killer cold while your spouse has barely a sniffle, even though you both have the same virus.

It also explains why some immunityboosting products may not help. “Getting your immune cells to work better could result in a stronger inflammatory response and more exaggerated symptoms,” Winther says. A colleague of hers once took immunity-enhancing drugs to speed his recovery, and “he’d never been so sick in his life!”

2

Your mother was right: Wash your hands—and don’t touch your face!

To avoid getting sick, Winther washes her hands often, especially after contact with anyone who’s ill or after events that involve hand-shaking. She also tries not to touch her face, especially her nose and eyes, where viruses like to enter our bodies. This is tougher than it sounds: Studies suggest that many of us touch our faces hundreds of times a day and—eww—pick our noses as often as five times an hour. Even health-care providers are guilty. Winther’s colleagues secretly observed university medical staff during a one-hour lecture—and found that one-third of them rubbed their eyes and picked their noses.

Don’t touch that doorknob, either!

The best way to not get a cold, Winther says, is easy: Be touchy about what you touch. In their now-famous 2007 studies, she and her colleagues found that cold viruses brought into hotel rooms by guests found their way onto door handles, pens, light switches, faucets, remote controls, and telephones —and stayed there for up to 18 hours.

“Surfaces are far more important than we ever imagined in the spread of colds,” Winther says. When someone is sick in her home, she scrubs frequently touched surfaces at least once a day, either with a general cleanser or plain soap and water. So how has the doctor fared in her own cold war? In the past couple of years, Winther has beaten the odds and come down with just one cold.

4 Simple remedies are still the best.

“Treat the individual symptoms that bother you most,” Winther advises. Her step-by-step plan: At the first sign of symptoms, take ibuprofen to ease sore throat, headache, and malaise.

If a stuffy nose is a problem, add an OTC nasal spray. For a runny

nose, use a prescription spray (especially useful if you must be around people the first three days of a cold, the most contagious time). Old-style antihistamines, such as Benadryl or Chlor-Trimeton, can also alleviate con congestion and sneezes

5

but may make you drowsy.

Whatever you do, Winther cautions, do not take antibiotics.

They kill bacteria, not viruses.

Doctors prescribe them more than 40 million times a year, which has led to more lethal, drug-resistant strains of bacteria.

There IS no cure for the common cold—not yet anyway.

Though Winther and her co-workers have researched countless remedies over the years, “they’ve all been dead ends.” To wit: The “killer” tissues that zapped cold viruses —but made people cough. Or the medication that shortened colds by a day—but made birth-control pills go haywire. And all those concoctions of goldenseal, garlic, and other natural ingredients that are sold at health-food stores? Still unproven.

For years, experts held high hopes for antiviral drugs, which either attack viruses directly or interfere with their ability to latch on to cells. Alas, Winther sighs, “cold viruses are smarter than we are.” They hide in our cells and do much of their work before our symptoms appear. By the time we realize that we have a cold and take an antiviral, it’s too late.

What about a vaccine? Colds are caused by a menagerie of hundreds of different viruses. Since vaccines are designed to target only a few strains, we’d still be vulnerable to the others. continued on page 12

But there IS hope.

“Until recently, I thought I’d done everything I could with the common cold,” Winther says. “I was ready to retire.” Then along came genomics. “Suddenly there was this new science that could help us prevent colds based on our genetic individuality.”

Different people may benefit from different treatments or tolerate certain drugs better, she says. “We can look at how their genes affect these things and tailor medication accordingly.”

For example, one strain of the “good” probiotic bacteria known as Lactobacillus GG appears to reduce cold symptoms by tamping down the body’s inflammatory responses.

But does it work better in some people than others? Winther is using genomic testing to find out. In a recent study, she gave subjects Lactobacillus GG in juice form, then took samples of their blood and nasal washes and 12 • January 30, 2011

analyzed their gene activity to see which genes grew active in response to the cold virus.

As for a vaccine,“Ten years ago, I would never have thought we could make one,” she says, “but with genetic technology, we can juggle antigens—the building blocks of vaccines—in ways we couldn’t imagine before. So eventually, it may be possible to make a vaccine that can handle hundreds of different viruses.”

Good Morning, Vietnam The photographer who captured an iconic image of war also knows where to find, and give, joy

Vietnam last fall, I wrestled with one question: Will they hate me?

I was going there to report on the long-term legacy of Agent Orange, the toxic herbicide that has had a devastating effect on U.S. veterans, and the Vietnamese. And I’m an American. Two strikes against me, right?

It was dark and muggy when I landed in Hanoi. The first thing I noticed was how many people were smiling at me in the airport.

“You American?” a middle-aged man asked as I waited for my bag.

I nodded, and he held out his hand.

“Welcome,” he said. “Come again.”

Early the following morning, I met Nick Ut. We were both fellows with the Vietnam Reporting Project and would be teaming up for the next eight days.

Most Americans don’t know Nick by name, but if you lived through the Vietnam War, you know why he matters. On June 8, 1972, he stood in the middle of Route 1 in South Vietnam and aimed his camera at 9-year-old Kim Phuc as she ran toward him, naked and screaming. A napalm bomb had dropped near her home in Trang Bang village.

Click, click, click.

Nick rushed the little girl to a hospital, which saved her life. His photo of her is widely credited with helping to end the war.

Taking stock: Nick Ut shares his work with fans in Hanoi.

He’s been a staff photographer with AP for 45 years, but he is a rock star in our profession—and in Vietnam, where he was born. He became a U.S. citizen in 1984, yet it was clear from our phone conversations that he has never stopped loving the people of his homeland.

I was nervous about working with Nick. I knew that he was only 21 when he photographed Kim Phuc, that he lost two brothers in the war and had been wounded three times.

I imagined him hardened beyond his years, and wondering why on earth he was teamed up with chirpy Midwestern me.

Day after day, Nick and I came

face-to-face with suffering I’d only seen in pictures. We spent hours in Friendship Village, which the U.S. veteran George Mizo founded for children of Agent Orange. Two days later, we visited a community of women veterans who had been sprayed with the dioxin in the war and came home sick, often sterile, and sometimes insane.

At one point during a meeting with disabled children, I had to walk outside. It was just too much.

Minutes later, I felt Nick’s gentle hand on my shoulder. Then he went back in and said something in Vietnamese that made the kids laugh.

By the third evening, Nick was lobbying for an early-morning walk around Hoan Kiem Lake, near our hotel in Hanoi. Hundreds of Viet-

ou have to get up

early, Connie!” Nick said, his accent punctuating his enthusiasm. “By 6! I want you to meet the women who sing. They will sing to you.”

I looked at him like he was nuts.

“There is a lot of happiness here, Connie,” he said. “You will see.”

The next morning, the sky was drizzling and Nick was beaming.

He grabbed my sleeve and we raced across the lanes of Hanoi traffic that swerve but never stop.

Almost immediately, I heard them. The women were in their fifties, maybe older. A few held brightly colored umbrellas as they danced and sang in pitch-perfect harmony. After the third song, one of the women smiled and reached for my hands. Then she started to sing.

Back and forth we swayed, two women, worlds apart, in the rain.

I looked over at Nick, who couldn’t stop grinning. “What is she singing?”

I said. “What is she saying to me?”

“She is singing that you are friends,” Nick said.

I let go of her hands, and hugged her tight.
