Los Angeles Daily News

LOS ANGELES — Ronald Reagan was nearsighted.

The future 40th president of the United States couldn’t read the blackboard as a schoolboy growing up in Illinois, and he was shocked when he was diagnosed as nearsighted.

“He spent much of his young life instead in a fuzzy cocoon, Ronald in a way,” notes Reagan at 78, Ron Reagan, in 1990. the president’s son and author of the new biography “My Father at 100.”

“A fuzzy cocoon” might well describe Reagan’s legacy. As America celebrates the centennial of his birth today, the president’s name has become a talisman for every politician — especially since his death in 2004. With the observance come documentaries and books that reevaluate the beloved “Gipper.”

Whatever the case, the younger Reagan says, “You couldn’t spend five minutes alone with my father and not like him.”

SALEM — State Rep. Bill Kennemer, R-Oregon City, calls it a “bit of a hot potato.” Sen. Frank Morse, R-Albany, calls it “the issue that no one knows what to do with.”

It is the Oregon Public Employees Retirement System, and its growing price tag is a significant problem for lawmakers, who will consider dozens of cost-containment bills this session.

IN THE Left unchecked, the pension LEGISLATURE plan could soon consume more than a quarter of many public agencies’ payrolls. Growth in the cost of PERS to the state payroll as well as state funding for public school districts will run in the hundreds of millions over the next two-year budget. Forced to devote more money to PERS, many government agencies are expected to cut staff and services.

“It’s eating our K-12 schools,” Morse said. “It’s eating our local government. It’s eating state government.”

A Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington, Smith is testing the air high above Central Oregon for microbes — singlecelled organisms like bacteria and fungi that can be blown to the Pacific Northwest from as far away as China in the inhospitable environment of the upper atmosphere.

“They’re getting injected into the stratosphere by dust storms in Asia. They’re getting across (the Pacific),” Smith said.

“Most of them die, but a fraction of them survive. It’s a pretty amazing survival story.”

Smith is hoping to find out more about the simple organisms that manage to hang on in these harsh conditions and investigate how they can travel long distances — perhaps teasing out more information on how diseases could spread or even how single-celled life could move between planets.

“We’re scratching the surface of a really unexplored science,” Smith said. “The atmosphere is poorly characterized, (but) this describes what sort of life is up there.

There are so many unanswered questions.”

By law, Roy Perez should not have had a gun three years ago when he shot his mother 16 times in their home in Baldwin Park, Calif., killing her, and then went next door and shot dead a woman and her 4-year-old daughter.

Perez, who was sentenced last year to life in prison, had a history of mental issues. As a result, even though in 2004 he legally bought the Glock he used, at the time of the shootings his name was in a statewide law enforcement database as someone whose gun should be taken away, according to the authorities.

The case highlights a vulnerability when it comes to keeping guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people and others, not just in California but across the country.

OBAMA’S EGYPT PUZZLE

By David E. Sanger New York Times News Service

The United States and leading European nations on Saturday threw their weight behind Egypt’s vice president, backing his attempt to defuse a popular uprising without immediately removing President Hosni Mubarak from power.

But now, 12 days into an uprising in Egypt that threatens to upend U.S. strategy in the Middle East, the Obama administration is struggling to determine if a democratic revolution can succeed while Mubarak remains, even if he is sidelined from negotiations over the country’s future.

Computer hackers have repeatedly breached the systems of the company that runs the Nasdaq stock exchange in New York but did not penetrate the part of the system that handles trades, Nasdaq said Saturday.

The exchange’s operating company, Nasdaq OMX, said in a statement it had discovered suspicious files on its U.S. servers, and that it immediately began conducting an investigation in conjunction with outside firms and federal law enforcement agencies.

Government and law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation said it was being handled by the FBI’s cybercrimes branch along with the Justice Department. These officials also said it appeared that the trading platform was not breached.

An attack on banks and other pillars of the financial system has long been a top fear of government officials because of the potential for harm to the economy.

Nasdaq, one of the country’s largest stock exchanges, is where many of the nation’s most important companies list their stocks for trading. In 1999, hackers infiltrated the websites of Nasdaq and the American Stock Exchange leaving taunting messages, but Nasdaq officials said then there was no evidence the break-ins affected financial data.

With New START in force, hope for more cooperation

By David Rising The Associated Press

MUNICH — A new U.S.-Russia nuclear arms control treaty went into effect Saturday, securing a key foreign policy goal of President Barack Obama and raising hopes among officials on both sides that it will provide the impetus for Moscow and Washington to negotiate further reductions.

“The treaty marks significant progress toward President Obama’s vision of a world without nuclear weapons,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said after exchanging ratification papers with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the sidelines of an international security conference in Munich.

The New START treaty — the first major revamping of nuclear disarmament deals since the late Cold War era — was approved by the U.S. Senate in December after a bruising fight. Russia ratified the deal last month.

Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov suggested that the two countries could build upon the new treaty in other areas, saying that “coordinated efforts” were needed in missile defense, and that Moscow also was willing to talk about tactical nuclear weapon reductions. “We are ready to discuss this very complex topic in the framework of a comprehensive approach to strategic stability,” he said.

He also stressed that any “hypothetical” negotiations on tactical nuclear weapons “must take into consideration not only Russia’s or the U.S. nuclear arsenal but weapons systems of all nuclear and threshold” states.

The 10-year New START treaty, which can be extended by another five years, is a cornerstone of Obama’s efforts to “reset” U.S. relations with Russia, and Clinton called it a “milestone in our strategic partnership.”

Clinton said the Obama administration is in talks with Russia about how the two countries can further work together, including joint exercises and sharing of early-warning data that could form the basis for a cooperative missile defense system.

TURMOIL IN EGYPT

Major resignations, but not Mubarak’s

By Sarah El Deeb and Lee Keath The Associated Press

CAIRO — The leadership of Egypt’s ruling party stepped down Saturday as the military figures spearheading the transition tried to placate protesters without giving them the one resignation they demand, President Hosni Mubarak’s. The West gave key backing to the regime’s gradual changes, warning of the dangers if Mubarak goes too quickly.

But protesters in the streets rejected the new concessions and vowed to keep up their campaign until the 82-year-old president steps down. Many are convinced that the regime wants to wear down their movement and enact only superficial democratic reforms that will leave its deeply entrenched monopoly on power in place.

Tens of thousands thronged Cairo’s central Tahrir Square in a 12th day of protests, waving flags and chanting, “He will go!

He will go!”

The military figures Mubarak has installed to lead the government — Vice President Omar Suleiman and Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq — have offered in the meantime to hold negotiations with the protesters and the entire opposition over democratic reforms to ensure a fair vote.

A day after President Barack Obama pushed Mubarak to leave quickly, the U.S. administration changed tone Saturday with a strong endorsement of Suleiman’s plans.

But protesters want the concrete victory of Mubarak’s removal — though some appear willing to settle for his sidelining as a figurehead — with a broadbased transitional government to work out a new constitution.

That could mean the crisis could move into a test of sheer endurance, as protesters try to keep drumming out tens of thousands into Tahrir day after day.

The government and military have promised not to try to clear protesters from the square, and soldiers guarding the square continued to let people enter to join the growing rally.

But there were signs of army impatience Saturday. At one point, army tanks tried to try to clear a main boulevard by bulldozing away burned out vehicles that protesters used in barricades during fighting in the past week with pro-regime attackers. The move prompted heated arguments with protesters who

The Associated Press

Omar Zaki holds an Egyptian flag during a rally against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday in New Orleans. Hundreds calling for Mubarak’s ouster peacefully demonstrated in several U.S. cities. About 150 people gathered outside the federal building in New Orleans. In Seattle, about 200 people, many of Egyptian descent, gathered to show their support for the throngs that have taken over a sprawling public square in Cairo. demanded the husks remain in place in case they are attacked again. The troops relented only after protesters sat on the ground in front of the tanks.

The resignation of the leadership of the ruling National Democratic Party appeared to be a new step by Suleiman to convince protesters that he was sincere about reform — or at least convince the broader public so support for the

movement fades.

The six-member party Steering Committee that stepped down included some of the country’s most powerful political figures — and the most unpopular among many Egyptians. Among them was the party secretary-general, Safwat el-Sharif, and the president’s son Gamal Mubarak, who had long been seen as his father’s intended heir as president.

Protests take their toll on oil and food prices The turmoil in Egypt is causing economic jitters across the globe, pushing up food and oil prices so far, but bigger worries are ahead.

Will popular uprisings and revolution spread to Egypt’s rich autocratic neighbors, managers of much of the world’s oil supply? Will the U.S. see its influence in the region decline, and that of Iran and other fundamental Islamic governments surge?

While those are open questions, there’s no doubt the crisis has meant new risks for shaky economies and put a cloud over financial markets.

Instability in the Middle East, if prolonged, could jeopardize fragile recoveries in the United States and Europe. It could limit job creation and fuel inflation.

“If the turmoil is contained largely to Egypt, then the broader economic fallout will be marginal,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “Now, obviously, if it spills out of Egypt ... the concern goes to a whole other darker level.”

Protesters have toppled the government of Tunisia, with more modest effects in Yemen and Jordan.

“The real worry, I think, is if these protests continue indefinitely, and there isn’t more reassurance about stability in Egypt and in the broader region,” said Shadi Hamid, a researcher on Gulf affairs at the Brookings Institution’s Doha Center in Qatar. “We’re going to see a continued decline in the regional economy, and that will, of course, have an effect on the U.S. economy.”

Hamid suggested the Obama administration’s position of first supporting Mubarak and then raising the pressure on him to leave immediately was not helpful.

The unrest already has affected U.S. energy prices. The average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in the U.S. was $3.12 on Friday — up 2.4 cents just in the past week.

Analysts expect prices to stay above $3 a gallon — the highest since 2008 — and probably go higher until the conflict in Egypt is resolved and Mideast tensions ease.

Is 112th Congress officially stalled?

Democracy Continued from A1 On Saturday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Mubarak must move out of the way so that his deputy, Omar Suleiman, can engage in talks with protest leaders over everything from constitutional changes to free elections.

But the formal endorsement came as Suleiman appeared to reject the protesters’ main demands, including the immediate resignation of Mubarak and the dismantling of a political system built around one-party rule, according to leaders of a small, officially authorized opposition party who spoke with Suleiman on Saturday.

Protesters interpreted the simultaneous moves by the Western leaders and Suleiman as a rebuff to their demands for an end to the dictatorship led for almost three decades

by Mubarak, a pivotal American ally and pillar of the existing order in the Middle East.

“America doesn’t understand,” said Ibrahim Mustafa, 42, who was waiting to enter Tahrir Square. “The people know it is supporting an illegitimate regime.”

Uncertain strategy It is hardly the first time the Obama administration has seemed uncertain on its feet during the Egyptian crisis, as it struggles to stay on the right side of history and to avoid accelerating a revolution that could spin out of control.

The mixed messages have been confusing and at times embarrassing — a reflection of a policy that, by necessity, has been made up on the fly.

“This is what happens when you get caught by surprise,” said one U.S. official, who would not speak on the record.

“We’ve had endless strategy sessions for the past two years on Mideast peace, on containing Iran. And how many of them factored in the possibility that Egypt” — and presumably whatever dominoes follow it — “moves from stability to turmoil? None.”

Clinton made the case at a gathering in Munich that the entire process would take time.

“Revolutions have overthrown dictators in the name of democracy,” she reminded her audience, “only to see the process hijacked by new autocrats.”

The Victory Arch — huge sets of crossed swords clutched in hands modeled after Saddam Hussein’s — undergo construction in Baghdad earlier this month. The recent decision to restore the monument represents a small but potentially significant act of reconciliation. At right: The full monument, in 2010, in what was then known as the Green Zone.

A monument to Saddam is quietly restored

By Steven Lee Myers New York Times News Service

BAGHDAD — As hundreds of thousands in Egypt protested the iron rule of that country’s president, Iraq quietly began restoring a bronze fist of its former dictator, Saddam Hussein.

Without public announcement or debate, the authorities here ordered the reconstruction of one of the most audacious symbols in Baghdad of Saddam’s long, violent and oppressive rule: the Victory Arch, two enormous sets of crossed swords, clutched in hands modeled after his very own.

“Nuremberg and Las Vegas all rolled in one,” Kanan Makiya, an Iraqi-born author and architect called the monument in “The Monument: Art, Vulgarity and Responsibility in Iraq,” which was published in 1991 under a pseudonym to protect himself then, even in exile.

After years of neglect and a partial dismantling in 2007 that was halted amid protests after the panels of one fist and the pommels of two swords were removed, workers recently began to put back together the detritus of Saddam’s megalomania.

The restoration represents a small but potentially significant act of reconciliation with a past that remains deeply divisive nearly eight years after Saddam’s government crumpled.

“We don’t want to be like Afghanistan and the Taliban and remove things like that,” Ali alMousawi, a spokesman for Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, said, referring to the infamous destruction of the Buddha statues in Bamian, Afghanistan, “or to be like the Germans and remove

the Berlin Wall.”

“We are a civilized people,” he added, “and this monument is a part of the memories of this country.”

The work is part of a $194 million beautification project ahead of the summit meeting of Arab League leaders scheduled for March in Baghdad.

That meeting is already weighted with political significance simply because of its host: Iraq, a country at odds with many of its Arab neighbors before and after the war, but now seeking a pride of place in the international community. The turmoil sweeping the Arab world right now is likely to bring even more attention to the meeting.

The impetus for preserving the monument itself, popularly known as the Crossed Swords, was the destruction of another monument built by Saddam after Iraq’s defeat in the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

A concrete sculpture of clasped hands in western Baghdad — supposed to represent Arab unity after the war — was demolished last year to make way for a highway overpass, prompting angry protests that Iraq’s authorities were trying to rewrite all of the country’s past. Mousawi said that the prime minister, then in the middle of a re-election fight he ultimately won, ordered the Victory Arch to be preserved.

Saddam ordered the arch built in 1985 in a letter later inscribed on a tablet near one pair of the swords. (It has since been defaced, his name and that of Iran’s revolutionary leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, scratched out.)

It was a propagandistic monument to a war against Iran that

Eye on unrest, al-Maliki says he won’t run again BAGHDAD — Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki will not run for a third term in 2014, an adviser said Saturday, limiting himself in the name of democracy while keeping a wary eye on the popular anger at governments across the Middle East.

The move is surprising, as al-Maliki fought hard to (narrowly) hold on to a second four-year term despite falling short in elections last year. His successor will be the first to lead without U.S. military help since the fall of Saddam Hussein after U.S. troops fully withdraw as planned by the end of this year.

— The Associated Press

neither country won, despite savage losses on both sides. It was dedicated in 1989, barely a year before the invasion of Kuwait, another lost war and, in a way, the beginning of the end of his government.

Mousawi, the spokesman, said that unlike other monuments, the Victory Arch was not inextricably linked to the abuses of Saddam’s Baath Party dictatorship. “It does not impact the freedoms and rights of Iraqis,” he said.

For many, though, it remains an awkward subject — though the work has proceeded largely unnoticed.

Senators call truce on rule-breaking ...

... but Congress is not in session much

New York Times News Service The mechanics of legislating should be simple: Bring a bill to the floor, fight over amendments, vote the measure up or down and move on to the next one.

But that by-the-civics-book approach has been largely nonexistent in the Senate as Democrats and Republicans instead engaged in partisan procedural brawls that tied the place in knots and left lawmakers in both parties frustrated and fuming.

Now, though, it appears the Senate may be turning over a new leaf by going back to the basics, an approach that a very preliminary review indicates might have merit.

Under a rules truce struck in the Senate late last month, minority Republicans allowed a long-stalled aviation policy measure to come to the floor without a filibuster as the Senate’s first legislative business of 2011. In exchange, Majority Leader Harry Reid has so far let Republicans offer ample amendments, including one politically charged whopper that would have repealed the new health care law. That proposal was quickly swept aside, and lawmakers went about the business of the aviation bill.

“It worked,” Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., marveled about what is known on Capitol Hill as following regular order. “No shenanigans.”

Last year, the situation would probably have unfolded very differently. Democrats would have tried to bring up the bill but then taken parliamentary steps to block amendments, to prevent Republicans from having an opportunity to make a political point. In retaliation, Republicans would have forced Democrats to assemble 60 votes just to get the bill to the floor. Then days, if not weeks, would have passed with nothing much transpiring.

Though the Senate still has to slog through a list of amendments to the Federal Aviation Administration bill, the end result could be a measure that both sides agree received a fair and ample hearing, even if no one is entirely pleased with the legislative outcome.

There are reasons the truce could hold this time. With the Senate more closely divided at 53 to 47, Democrats can no longer hope to pick off just one or two Republicans to reach the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster. They need more consensus to move bills, and a more open and equal floor process is one way to build that consensus.

McClatchy-Tribune News Service The Senate was in session for five days last month. The House was officially present for 11. But not really — the House halted business the week after the Jan. 8 shootings in Tucson out of respect for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., who was critically wounded while meeting with her constituents.

During the first month of the last Congress, in 2009 the House met for 15 days and the Senate for 18. At the start of the one before that, the House was in town for 16 days and the Senate for 17.

Didn’t November’s election mean that Congress was supposed to start fixing things?

“Symbolically, it doesn’t look good,” said Jennifer Duffy, a Senate analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

The House chamber was empty last week as well. It’s part of a revamped calendar from the new Republican leadership that guarantees members at least one work week at home in their districts each month, among other changes.

But at least one new Republican lawmaker complained that the House isn’t meeting often enough. “I promised my constituents I would go to Capitol Hill and work every day to solve ... problems,” Rep. Allen West of Florida wrote in a letter to the House leadership.

Stay tuned, though: Capitol Hill watchers say the first month of a new Congress usually isn’t a good barometer.

Too many things compete for attention, such as party leadership elections, committee reorganizations and the president’s State of the Union address.

social integration and equality before the law.

Similar warnings about multiculturalism have been sounded

by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France. But, if anything, Cameron went further. He called on European governments to practice “a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism,” and said Britain would no longer give official patronage to Muslim groups that had been “showered with public money despite doing little to combat terrorism.”

Muslim groups in Britain were quick to condemn the speech.

LONDON — Faced with growing alarm about Islamic militants who have made Britain one of Europe’s most active bases for terrorist plots, Prime Minister David Cameron has mounted an attack on the country’s decades-old policy of “multiculturalism,” saying it has encouraged “segregated communities” where Islamic extremism can thrive.

Speaking at a security conference in Munich on Saturday, Cameron condemned what he called the “hands-off tolerance” in Britain and other European nations that had encouraged Muslims and other immigrant groups “to live separate lives, apart from each other and the mainstream.”

He said the policy had allowed militants leeway to radicalize young Muslims, some of whom went on to become terrorists, and

that Europe could not defeat terrorism “simply by the actions we take outside our borders.”

“Europe needs to wake up to what is happening in our own countries,” he said. “We have to get to the root of the problem.”

In what aides described as one of the most important speeches since he became prime minister, Cameron said the multiculturalism policy — one espoused by British governments since the 1960s, based on the principle of the right of all groups in Britain to live by their traditional values — had failed to promote a sense of common identity centered on values of human rights, democracy,

Administration officials insist their responses have been more reaction to fast-moving events than any fundamental change in objective.

With Mubarak making it clear he does not intend to resign anytime soon, they have described their latest strategy as one of encouraging Egyptian elites to isolate him to the point where he is essentially a spectator.

Administration officials say the White House, the State Department and the Pentagon have urged a “council of elders” in Egypt to begin drafting revisions to the constitution that could be sped through Parliament, while encouraging Suleiman to jump-start conversations with an array of opposition leaders, including the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.

The next decision facing the White House is how publicly to press for Mubarak’s resignation or sidelining.

Quiet diplomacy, one White House official acknowledged, feeds the public perception in Cairo and elsewhere that Obama might be willing to let a moment of revolutionary opportunity pass for fear of its impact on U.S. interests.

To help counter that perception, Obama spent Saturday calling leaders throughout the region, from Turkey to the United Arab Emirates, presumably, to debate how fast and how hard they urge Mubarak to leave.

But it is a discussion many Mideast leaders want to avoid, one administration official said, for fear that they could be on the receiving end of the next cycle of protests — and the next hint from the White House that it is time to go.

Sudan army mutinies kill at least 41

By Alan Boswell McClatchy-Tribune News Service

JUBA, Sudan — Clashes spread across a key border region in Southern Sudan on Saturday following a wave of mutinies among southerners in the northern army, leaving at least 41 dead as Sudan begins to divide into two nations following a Southern referendum on independence last month.

Official results show that southerners voted 99 percent for forming their own country, and full independence is set to take effect in July this year. The referendum was the core provision of a U.S.brokered 2005 peace deal between Sudan’s Arab government in the north and the rebellious African south, ending decades of war that killed 2 million people.

The recent violence broke out Thursday in Malakal, the capital of Upper Nile state, as the northern army, the Sudan Armed Forces, began withdrawing its remaining contingents in the south.

Former Southern militiamen in the northern army mutinied against other Southern soldiers and northern commanders, refusing to relocate to the north with all their weaponry. The fighting continued throughout the day on Friday. At least 22 are confirmed dead, mostly soldiers, according to a U.N. official, who said the fighting had mostly stopped by Saturday. The official could not be named because he’s not authorized to speak to the media.

Similar uprisings within the SAF ranks erupted on Saturday in the Upper Nile towns of Melut, Paloich, and Maban, said Malaak Ayuen, head of information in Southern Sudan’s army, the exrebel Sudan People’s Liberation Army.

PERS Continued from A1 The PERS system relies on investment profits for much of its funding and on employer contributions for most of the rest. So, if the stock market goes down, retirement costs for public agencies go up.

Wall Street has rebounded somewhat from the plunge that triggered much of the projected boost in PERS costs to the state.

The PERS fund’s investments grew in value by 12.62 percent last year, a better-than-expected mark.

Still, Rep. Jason Conger, RBend, says that given the state’s bleak budget outlook, lawmakers have no choice but to look at PERS. He sits on a key state House committee, Business and Labor, that will hear all PERS reform bills.

“It’s like everything else that is a significant cost-driver in the budget: It has to be a focus because of the challenges we’re trying to confront,” he said.

Republicans have been most aggressive in attacking the system, while defending it is a top priority for the public employee unions that are key allies of the Democratic Party.

It is perhaps a measure of the buzz around the need for PERS changes that House Democratic Majority Leader Dave Hunt, DGladstone, said recently that some reforms are definitely called for. He said, however, that those reforms must recognize that many parts of the state’s retirement system are subject to collective bargaining — referring to the negotiations that lead to state and school employee labor contracts.

For Oregon, those negotiations begin this month.

Past PERS reform efforts, including the 2003 legislative reforms, have been partially or entirely undone by the courts, Hunt noted.

Farming Continued from A4 “In the military, grunts are the guys who get dirty, do the work and are generally underappreciated,” said Colin Archipley, a decorated Marine Corps infantry sergeant turned organic farmer, who developed the program with his wife, Karen, after his three tours in Iraq.

“I think farmers are the same.”

At their farm, called Archi’s Acres, the sounds of crickets and croaking frogs commune with the drone of choppers.

The syllabus, approved by Camp Pendleton’s transition assistance program, includes hands-on planting and irrigating, lectures about “high-value niche markets” and production of a business plan that is assessed by food professionals and business professors.

Along with Combat Boots to Cowboy Boots, a new program for veterans at the University of Nebraska’s College of Technical Agriculture, and farming fellowships for wounded soldiers, the six-week course offered here is part of a nascent “veteran-centric” farming movement.

Its goal is to bring the energy of young soldiers re-entering civilian life to the aging farm population of rural America. Half of all farmers are likely to retire in the next decade, according to the Agriculture Department.

“The military is not for the faint of heart, and farming isn’t either,” said Michael O’Gorman, a farmer who founded the Farmer-Veteran Coalition, which supports sustainable-agriculture training. “There are eight times as many farmers over age 65 as under. There is a tremendous need for young farmers, and a big wave of young people inspired to go into the service who are coming home.”

About 45 percent of the military comes from rural communities, compared with one-sixth of the total population, according to the Carsey Institute at the

“We’ve learned a lot from the Legislature overreaching in 2003, and having those actions thrown out in court,” he said. “So I think you will see PERS reform that is actually reasonable and legal.”

But Hunt also appeared to downplay the need for major reforms. He pointed out that PERS investments have been so successful that the system is now 88 percent funded, making Oregon “one of the best funded PERS systems in the country.”

Three reform ideas Three ideas in particular look to see action on the PERS front: • Reject PERS cost increases: Instead of boosting its payments into the PERS fund, the state could reject the PERS board’s adopted cost hikes and instead pay the same amount it did in the last budget. This is like if you postponed paying a bill — your debt won’t go away, but you can still buy groceries. For Oregon, it would forestall some cuts to state services, but result in growth in the state’s unfunded future retirement costs.

The state Legislative Fiscal Office says the state could save $127 million in the coming budget by doing this. Morse says he’s asked the Legislature’s lawyers to double-check that the move would pass muster with the courts.

• Cut benefits for retirees who leave Oregon: Oregon long ago agreed to pay retirees extra to cover their cost of state taxes but neglected to account for what happens when they leave the state. There’s now a bipartisan push to change that by passing a bill to end those extra payments, a move that could save $43 million in the coming budget, according to Hunt.

• Put down the “pickup:” Like many local governments and school boards, Oregon has agreed to “pick up” the employee portion of PERS contributions, amounting to 6 percent of payroll. Known as the “6 percent pickup,” this is

Sgt. Matt Holzmann, a Marine who spent seven months in Afghanistan, and Stephanie De Alba help lay irrigation piping at Archi’s Acres, the site of a program in Valley Center, Calif., that trains veterans and active-duty service members to become organic farmers.

University of New Hampshire. In 2009, the Agriculture Department began offering low-interest loans in its campaign to add 100,000 farmers to the nation’s ranks each year.

Among them will probably be Sgt. Matt Holzmann, 33, a Marine at Camp Pendleton who spent seven months in Afghanistan. He did counterinsurgency work and tried to introduce aquaponics, a self-replenishing agricultural system, to rural villages.

His zeal for aquaponics led him to the farming class. “It’s a national security issue,” he said the other day outside a garage-turned-classroom filled with boxes of Dr. Earth Kelp Meal. “The more responsibly we use water and energy, the greater it is for our country.”

O’Gorman, a pacifist and a pioneer of the baby-lettuce business, started the coalition after his son joined the Coast Guard. The group recently received a grant from the Bob Woodruff Foundation, cofounded by the ABC News journalist who was wounded in Iraq,

to provide farming fellowships for wounded young veterans.

“Beginning farming has become the cause du jour among young people with college degrees and trust funds,” O’Gorman said at the farm, where there were stacks of Mother Earth News magazines in the bathroom and a batch of kale in the sink. “My gut sense is a lot of them won’t be farming five years from now. But these vets will.”

Archipley’s own journey into organic farming was somewhat serendipitous. He joined the Marines in response to the 9/11 attacks and married between his second and third tours in Iraq. The couple bought three acres of avocado orchards north of San Diego.

Archipley found pleasure tending his grove after leaving the Marines and eventually secured a loan from the Agriculture Department to build a greenhouse. His farm now sells organic produce to Whole Foods Markets in San Diego and Los Angeles.

In 2007, the couple started train-

ing veterans informally, financing the effort themselves. The new course, administered through MiraCosta College, costs $4,500, with Camp Pendleton offering assistance for active-duty Marines.

Farming offers vets a chance to decompress, Archipley said, but, more important, provides a sense of purpose. “It allows them to be physically active, be part of a unit,” he said. “It gives them a mission statement — a responsibility to the consumer eating their food.”

Even in this idyllic setting, it can be a challenging process. Mike Nelson Hanes, now 34, enlisted in the Marines at 18. In 1994, six days into his basic training in South Carolina, his drill instructor committed suicide with an M-16 rifle in front of 59 recruits.

Hanes returned home from Baghdad with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and a traumatic brain injury. He was homeless for more than a year but managed to get a degree in environmental social services.

the biggest part of PERS that can be addressed outside collective bargaining, according to some lawmakers. Not everyone agrees — state employees say they made concessions in exchange for the pickup and argue that removing it would require contract negotiations.

“In fairness to unions and the union employees, they made concessions,” Morse said. “It was essentially a trade.”

In any event, several bills take aim at the pickup, and Gov. John Kitzhaber has made no secret of his desire to at least cut the portion of state pickup — if not eliminate it altogether — at the collective bargaining table.

“So we don’t have a PERS problem. We have a state budget problem,” he said.

Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, does not agree. She has joined Conger in co-sponsoring a bill that would let agencies stop paying the 6 percent pickup. But she says the two are already facing potential legal pitfalls, according to the Legislature’s lawyers.

“Legislative counsel doesn’t think it will hold up in court,” she said.

both chambers enters into a dialogue with Kitzhaber to see what’s realistic.

“Let’s be serious about this, and be consistent” with the evenly split House, Kennemer said. “Let’s see if there’s some common ground here.”

But, he predicted, “It won’t be easy.”

‘Too early to tell’?

Despite the momentum toward PERS reform, it’s unclear what the outcome will be.

The state’s official revenue forecast is scheduled to be updated twice before the Legislature adopts a budget. Many lawmakers are expressing hope that some recent upward trends for the economy will result in an improved budget picture.

“We are coming out of this global recession,” said Rep. Peter Buckley, D-Ashland, at a recent news conference.

That may explain why public employee unions that have historically opposed reducing retirement benefits don’t appear to be panicking yet. If revenue projections grow, it could take the steam out of reform efforts.

“I think it’s too early to tell what (legislation) is really going to move on the PERS front,” said Arthur Towers, the top lobbyist for the union that represents most state workers, Service Employees International Union Local 503.

And, like Hunt, he downplayed the need for major reforms, pointing to the recent gains in PERS investment returns, meaning that the state’s retirement obligations are now 88 percent funded.

Out of committee Besides the legal obstacles, major reforms such as the Telfer/Conger bill face a major potential bottleneck in the House in the Business and Labor Committee that Conger sits on. That is because of a decision by House leadership to run all PERS bills through that committee.

Though the committee is split evenly between Democrats and Republicans, the Democrats’ cochair, Mike Schaufler, D-Happy Valley, is one of the unions’ staunchest allies in Salem, meaning he will help set the agenda for which bills receive hearings.

Not only that, but unlike in the past, it may be more difficult to move bills out of House committees without broad support.

Thanks to a change in House rules this year — one spearheaded, coincidentally, by Republicans — a simple majority vote at the committee level will not be enough to advance bills to the next committee or chamber. Instead, two members from each party must support any bill for it to advance.

Kennemer, the committee’s Republican co-chair, says the reality is that many PERS reform bills won’t receive hearings. Given the limited time available this session, he wants to make sure those bills have a chance at passing.

“I’m not particularly interested in having grandstand hearings that are symbolic,” he said.

So he hopes the leadership of

“Being outside was my comfort zone — still is,” he said. Two years ago, he stumbled upon the Archipleys’ “Veterans for Sustainable Agriculture” booth at an Earth Day festival in Balboa Park in San Diego. Hanes still struggles but is gaining ground.

“One thing I’ve noticed about agriculture is that you become a creator rather than a destroyer,” he said amid ornamental eucalyptus shrubs.

John Maki, Camp Pendleton’s transition assistance program specialist, said the life experiences of young veterans equip them for demanding work. “For a comparable age, you won’t find people who have had as much responsibility,” he said. “They’ve been tasked with making life-and-death decisions.”

Weldon Sleight, dean of the University of Nebraska’s College of Technical Agriculture, which has six enrolled veterans, said discipline — a mainstay of the armed forces — was critically important in agriculture. “A lot of these rural vets have this wonderful knowledge base about agriculture,” he added. “But we’ve told them for years there’s no future in it.”

In Central Florida, Adam Burke, who left farming to join the military, came full circle, designing a wheelchair-accessible farm in which his signature “red, white and blueberries” grow in containers on elevated beds.

Burke, a Purple Heart recipient who suffered a traumatic brain injury in Iraq, recently opened a second farm. “Squeezing a ball in physical therapy gets monotonous,” he said. “And you don’t get the mist from the sprinklers or a cool breeze in a psychologist’s office.”

Matthew McCue, 29, formerly Sgt. McCue, runs Shooting Star CSA outside San Francisco with his partner, Lily Schneider, delivering boxes of organic produce directly to consumers. He recalled how orchard farmers in Iraq pridefully shared their pomegranates, tomatoes and melons.

“You learn how to face death,” he said of his service in Iraq. But in farming, he learned, “There was life all around.”

Microbes Continued from A1 For several years, researchers from the University of Washington and Oregon State University have been gathering data from Mount Bachelor, taking advantage of the site’s clean air in order to pick up pollutants blown in from other areas.

Dan Jaffe, a professor of atmospheric and environmental chemistry at the University of Washington Bothell, has been studying how pollutants, including mercury, make their way across the Pacific. Mount Bachelor has been a prime site to study that, he said, because the wind patterns around the top of an isolated volcano are relatively simple, compared with those on the side of a mountain or in a valley. And the chairlift to the summit, and electricity, are key.

“There’s other mountains, but they don’t have power or access,” Jaffe said.

For Smith, who previously used NASA’s high-altitude aircraft to collect microbes in the upper atmosphere, working on the mountain as part of Jaffe’s lab is a chance to collect microbes continuously for several months.

Most of the time, he’s collecting air from the troposphere, the atmospheric layer closest to the Earth’s surface. But two or three times a year, meteorological conditions cause the stratosphere — the second layer, which usually starts about nine miles up — to drop down.

“What happens on Mount Bachelor, from time to time, is the stratosphere will actually dip all the way down to the summit,” Smith said. “It’s an unusual event, but it happens.”

And then, he will be collecting microbes from the dry, ozonerich, high-radiation environment of the upper atmosphere.

To collect bacteria and fungi, he uses a specially built pump to bring in almost 100 gallons worth of air a minute. The air is pumped in through pipes that stick out of an overhang at Bachelor’s summit building, then it passes through a sturdy filter that catches the dust and microbes.

Friday morning, Smith unhooked a tube from the air collector and unscrewed a lid to expose a discolored filter — a good sign, he said.

“You can actually see the dust on that,” he said.

Wearing gloves and using sterilized forceps, he delicately placed the filter in a labeled plastic bag.

He collects four filters every other day, each one representing about 12 hours worth of dust- and microbe-filled air.

This summer, he’ll take those 250 to 300 filters back to the University of Washington and extract the DNA from the cells. By sequencing stretches of that DNA, Smith will be able to identify the microbe species that were floating around and perhaps identify their places of origin.

Are they dangerous?

The microbes in the atmosphere shouldn’t be cause for concern, he said. They have always been there and are often the same species people could find in a handful of soil in their backyards.

But he’s interested in looking at how many of these microbes are swept up into the two different layers of the atmosphere and how long they can survive in the upper atmosphere.

While temperatures around negative 70 degrees Fahrenheit, along with the radiation and harmful ozone of the upper atmosphere, would kill a complex organism like a person, singlecelled creatures, Smith said, can withstand the conditions through a few tricks: The cells that survive go dormant and form spores.

They get dehydrated and shrivel up, building up multiple layers to protect the DNA inside the cell from the radiation outside.

“For the most part, to survive in the upper atmosphere, it really helps if you can form a spore,” Smith said. “It helps keep you alive when conditions are really nasty.”

Then, when rain (or something else) causes the shriveled-up microbes to fall back to the ground, they can come back to life in a new locale. Many microbe species are found across the globe, and studying how they travel in the atmosphere can provide clues about how the cells get from one place to another, Smith said.

And because some microbes make plants and animals sick, atmospheric travel could also be one way that diseases are spread.

“We’re using it as a test bed, a platform, to understand response to long-term exposure,” Smith said of the research. “Here’s how they survive; here’s why.”

Studying survival in the upper atmosphere could also provide clues for whether simple organisms could hitch a ride on a meteoroid or spacecraft like the Mars rover and travel between planets.

“I find that angle very, very

cool, too,” he said. “We may be able to move life throughout the solar system.”

So far, he said, the record for the highest altitude at which scientists have found living microbes is at about 25 miles elevation.

“The higher you get, the more extreme it gets,” he said.

Moving microbes Staci Simonich, an associate professor with the chemistry and toxicology departments at OSU, conducts research at Mount Bach-

elor as well, studying the movements of pollutants like those found in vehicle exhaust and pesticides from places as far away as Asia and as close as the Willamette Valley.

Taking a look at the organisms that travel with the air masses is an interesting idea, she said, and the project Smith’s working on will be one of the first she’s seen looking at that issue in the western United States.

“I think it will be interesting to see if microorganisms do survive those transit times,” Simonich

“I find (this) very, very cool. ... We may be able to move life throughout the solar system.”

— David Smith said.

She said she would also be curious to see if Smith could link different microbes with different soil or dust particles from a range of sources, whether it’s pollution from a city or particles from the

Mongolian desert.

If Smith is able to identify microbes specific to China, Jaffe said, it could verify that the pollutants are, in fact, coming from Asia as well.

And the new research could also uncover more about how life can tolerate one of the most extreme environments.

“If something can survive that, that’s pretty cool,” Jaffe said.

Reagan Continued from A1 But Ron Reagan (he’s not a junior; their middle names differ) also describes his father as a reverse iceberg — 90 percent of what you see is what you get. It was the other 10 percent that Ron wondered about.

Judy Woodruff, who covered the president for NBC, believes that even the president’s wife, Nancy Reagan, didn’t know her husband fully.

The longtime television correspondent interviewed the former first lady for the documentary “Nancy Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime,” which airs again Monday night on OPB. “I thought that she must know everything about this man, but it’s now clear that he kept something inside,” Woodruff says. “And she has acknowledged that in some interviews.”

In Eugene Jarecki’s documentary “Reagan,” also airing Monday, on HBO, official Reagan biographer Edmund Morris (“Dutch”) describes the former president as “not introspective,” “incurious about himself” and someone who would take “refuge behind anecdotes and jokes” when he tried to get him to discuss his feelings about topics like religion.

Woodruff, who talked to Nancy Reagan over four days in 2009 for the documentary, says one of her favorite stories from the time she was on the White House beat was when she, Sam Donaldson of ABC and Lesley Stahl of CBS were invited to do one of the first interviews with the president after he had recuperated from the 1981 assassination attempt.

The three were anxious and loaded with questions, agreeing to the meeting although they weren’t allowed to bring in cameras.

“We had 45 minutes with him,” Woodruff says. “He then spent the first 35 or 40 minutes telling stories, and none of us got a word in edgewise. ... But that was Ronald Reagan.”

Nancy Reagan’s secrets Nancy Reagan, the onetime actress who married Ronald Reagan in 1952 at the Little Brown Church in Studio City, had her own secrets. “Role of a Lifetime” features interviews with histori-

ans and biographers who see her as one of the most influential first ladies in modern times.

“He didn’t know about all my meetings in the back hall,” she says in the documentary, which shines a different light on her husband’s legacy.

“I’m sure that’s true,” says Woodruff about the first lady being in constant touch with senior staff in the West Wing of the White House. “What we’ve learned is that she had an extraordinary amount of influence inside the administration all geared toward her husband’s success, and she did not want to talk about it. She was adamant that people not know the extent to which she was involved, which is why it is so interesting.

Here we are 30 years later, and it’s starting to come out.”

Nancy Reagan, 89, is now credited with helping move Reagan to more moderate positions, in particular his stance toward the Soviet Union, and with getting her husband to publicly admit his involvement in the Iran-contra affair. Former Reagan aides say that during the years in the White House they could set their clock by her phone calls. Woodruff adds that the first lady had a “sixth sense” about who had the president’s best interests at heart.

“She was focused like a laser on her husband’s legacy,” Woodruff notes. “Not only how to make sure his life is happy and how to make sure he has a successful presidency, but how to make sure he was seen in history as a successful president.”

Ron Reagan’s stories “My Father at 100” — which has sparked controversy because of passages that suggest his father may have been experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease while in office — was a journey for Ron Reagan, who had heard family stories from his father while growing up.

As the youngest of the president’s children, he spent a lot of time with his dad, who was both a pal and later as someone to test.

“Nobody can muddy a hero’s cape as casually as an insolent teenager,” says Ron Reagan, 52, who writes about his father with great affection.

“If you were growing up in any house with him, you’d love him,” he says about the man he would

Ron Reagan calls his father a “good guy, very friendly, very affable, very warm ... . You didn’t fear my father if you are his child.

Some kids are maybe a little wary of their old man. With my father, you trusted him and felt safe.” Which may have been how many people in the country felt.

But living with him, he found at times his father was “difficult to penetrate.”

Despite their eventual political differences — Ron Reagan is a left-leaning political commentator — he had no intention of “picking a fight with my dad now that he’s gone and can’t defend himself,” but he did want to understand him better. For research he traveled to Dixon, Ill., where the president spent much of his youth. In its way, small-town USA was the model for Reagan’s “shining city on the hill.”

The publication of “My Father at 100” has sparked controversy because of passages that suggest his father may have been experiencing the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease while in office.

(New research has shown that Alzheimer’s unfolds over decades, and that Reagan was diagnosed with the disease in 1994, less than six years after leaving the White House.)

“Given when my father was diagnosed, it’s more or less an academic question as to whether the disease was present while he was in office,” Ron Reagan says.

There are those who think any suggestion that Reagan was less than superhuman is an anathema. (Michael Reagan, an adopted son of Reagan and his first wife, condemned his halfbrother’s book and has his own new book, “The New Reagan Revolution,” which has been described in The Washington Post as the “quintessential version of

How popular was he?

It’s true that Reagan is popular more than two decades after leaving office. A CNN/Opinion Research poll last month gave him the third-highest approval rating among presidents of the past 50 years, behind John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton.

But Reagan’s average approval rating during the eight years that he was in office was nothing spectacular — 52.8 percent, according to Gallup.

During his presidency, Reagan’s popularity had high peaks — after the attempt on his life in 1981, for example — and huge valleys. In 1982, as the national unemployment rate spiked above 10 percent, Reagan’s approval rating fell to 35 percent.

How socially conservative was he?

Reagan’s contributions to the culture wars of the 1980s were largely rhetorical. Although he published a book in 1983 about his staunch opposition to abortion (though he had legalized it in California as governor in the 1960s), he never sought a constitutional ban. He also advocated prayer in public schools in speeches, but never in legislation. (In 1981, Reagan may have unintentionally did more than any other president to prevent Roe v. Wade from being overturned when he appointed Sandra Day O’Connor to the Supreme Court. O’Connor mostly upheld abortion rights during her 25 years as a justice.)

brought good news for Reagan supporters: The Ronald Reagan centennial endowment campaign surpassed its $100 million goal just hours before the Gipper’s 100th birthday.

The nonprofit Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation reported that the milestone was reached about two years after the foundation set its goal.

Foundation Board Chairman Frederick Ryan called the timing,

remarkable. “We couldn’t have asked for a better present on President Reagan’s 100th birthday,” Ryan said during a private reunion of Reagan associates at the Ventura County library some 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

The endowment, Ryan said, means Reagan’s legacy will be preserved and promoted.

Sonia Sotomayor testifies on Capitol Hill during her confirmation hearing in 2009. “Almost everything I’ve done I’ve been frightened about, including being a Supreme Court justice,” she said last week.

Sotomayor finds her voice on the Supreme Court

By Greg Stohr Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — On a Supreme Court full of justices with a lot to say, Sonia Sotomayor is beginning to find her voice.

In her second term since President Barack Obama appointed her in 2009, Sotomayor is speaking out from the bench for the rights of prison inmates, banding with her fellow Democratic appointees on ideologically divisive issues and boring into the details of federal securities-fraud laws.

And increasingly Sotomayor, 56, is making herself a public figure. She is using the court’s midwinter recess to speak with students around the country, sharing tidbits about her colleagues and even confessing her insecurities about a job she says weighs more heavily on her than she had imagined.

“Almost everything I’ve done I’ve been frightened about, including being a Supreme Court justice,” she said to a packed auditorium at the University of Chicago Law School last week, before telling them about reassuring words she received from her now-retired colleague, John Paul Stevens.

As the court’s first Latina, Sotomayor is perhaps destined to be in the public eye more than some of her fellow justices. A poll taken

by Findlaw.com in May found that she was better known than six of her eight colleagues, trailing only Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas.

Her visibility among the public is more than matched by her prominence in the courtroom, where she has established herself as one of the court’s most active participants during arguments.

“She likes to question advocates early and often,” said Maureen Mahoney, a Washington appellate lawyer at Latham and Watkins.

In an Oct. 12 argument about lawsuits against vaccine makers, she interjected 31 times, according to the court’s official transcript.

Twenty-six of those were directed at lawyers arguing in favor of a broad legal shield for drug companies. Sotomayor told the attorney representing Pfizer’s Wyeth unit that she was misconstruing Congress’s intent when it passed a 1986 law governing claims that vaccines caused injuries.

“You’re making an argument that has a flawed premise, which is that their only concern was protecting the manufacturers,” Sotomayor said.

She occasionally injects a note of passion into the legalese that tends to dominate court arguments, as when she voiced alarm about overcrowded California prisons with “people sitting in their feces for days in a dazed state.”

“When are you going to get to a point where you’re going to deliver care that is going to be adequate?” she asked a lawyer for the state. California is appealing a court order to reduce its prison population by 46,000.

At times, the former trial and appeals court judge suggests she is still adjusting to her new courtroom. Seated at the far right-hand side of the bench looking out into the courtroom, she occasionally neglects to flip on her microphone before speaking, leaving the audience to wonder what her first few words might have been.

More than once, she has begun a question even though a colleague has already started talking, leaving it to Chief Justice John Roberts to direct traffic.

She drew a rebuke from Justice Antonin Scalia in a consumer arbitration case in November when she interrupted a lawyer’s answer to a question, as is common during arguments. “Can you let him finish?” Scalia snapped, breaching protocol by addressing another justice directly. Roberts took the younger justice’s side, telling Sotomayor to go ahead with her question.

Sotomayor has proven to be a reliable member of the court’s liberal wing on social issues, joining fellow Democratic appointees Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan.

But she has defied predictions that her experience working in the Manhattan district attorney’s office might lead her to side with prosecutors and police more often than some of her colleagues.

Three times this term, she attached statements to the court’s refusals to hear appeals from criminal defendants or inmates. She dissented when the court rebuffed an inmate who stopped taking his HIV medication to protest a transfer and then allegedly was punished by being forced to perform hard labor in 100-degree heat.

The allegations, “if true, describe punitive treatment that amounts to gratuitous infliction of wanton and unnecessary pain that our precedent clearly prohibits,” Sotomayor wrote in an opinion no other justice joined. “I cannot comprehend how a court could deem such allegations ‘frivolous.’”

She has accepted her celebrity status with mixed feelings. At the Chicago law school event, she lamented no longer being able to “throw on my sweats” and walk across the street to get a cup of coffee. At the same time, she is now embracing her role as a public figure, whether she be reading to grade school students or presiding over a law school moot court.

“I think it’s important for the judge to be out in the world,” she said.

Continued from A1 In the wake of the shootings in Tucson, Ariz., much attention has been paid to various categories of people who are legally barred from buying handguns — those who have been “adjudicated as a mental defective,” have felony convictions, have committed domestic violence misdemeanors and so on. The focus has almost entirely been on gaps in the federal background check system that is supposed to deny guns to these prohibited buyers.

There is, however, another blind spot in the system.

Tens of thousands of gun owners, like Perez, bought their weapons legally but under the law should no longer have them because of subsequent mental health or criminal issues. In Perez’s case, he had been held involuntarily by the authorities several times for psychiatric evaluation, which in California bars a person from possessing a gun for five years.

Policing these prohibitions is difficult, however, in most states.

The authorities usually have to stumble upon the weapon in, say, a traffic stop or some other encounter and run the person’s name through various record checks.

Keeping track of guns California is unique in the country, gun control advocates say, because of its computerized database, the Armed Prohibited Persons System. It was created, in part, to enable law enforcement officials to handle the issue pre-emptively, actively identifying people who legally bought handguns, or registered assault weapons, but are now prohibited from having them.

The list had 18,374 names on it as of the beginning of this month — 15 to 20 are added a day — swamping law enforcement’s ability to keep up. Some police departments admitted that they had not even tried.

The people in the database are believed to be in possession of 34,101 handguns and 1,590 assault weapons, said Steven Lindley, acting chief of the firearms bureau in the state’s Department of Justice. He estimated that 30 to 35 percent of the people on the list were there for mental health reasons.

Despite the enforcement challenges, the state’s database offers a window into how extensive the problem is likely to be across the country. Concrete figures on the scope of the issue are difficult to come by because no other state matches gun purchase records after the fact with criminal and mental health files as California does.

“There are 18,000 people on California’s list,” said Dr. Garen Wintemute, director of the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, who helped law enforcement officials set up the system and is working on a proposal to evaluate its effectiveness. “So we can roughly extrapolate there are 180,000 such people across the country, just based on differences

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, February 6, 2011 A7

across populations.”

By way of context, Wintemute said that in 2009 only about 150,000 people were prevented from buying guns because they failed background checks, out of about 10.8 million who applied.

Only a handful of states, however, even have the ability to keep track of handgun purchases the way California does, by either requiring a license or permit to own one or simply keeping records of such purchases. Even fewer require a license or permit for other types of firearms.

Gaps in the database California’s system came about through a 2002 law that was even supported by the National Rifle Association, in part because it was billed as a way to protect members of law enforcement. It finally got under way in earnest in 2007. But though gun control advocates consider it a model, it still has serious gaps.

The system relies on records kept by the state on handgun purchases, but the state does not retain records of most rifle and shotgun purchases. There were 255,504 long guns sold in California in 2009 alone, compared with 228,368 handguns, according to state figures.

Perhaps most important, the burden for confiscating weapons falls largely on local jurisdictions, most of which are too short on resources to do much. Some may also have been only dimly aware of how the list works.

Detective Vic Brown, a supervisor in the Los Angeles Police Department gun unit, coordinates operations to disarm the roughly 2,700 city residents on the list. “We just don’t have enough manpower to pursue every one of these cases. These cases go on there quicker than we can get to them.”

It is no small task to conduct the necessary background work and knock on someone’s door, Brown said. A case that seems relatively low-risk will usually involve four officers. If it is considered more dangerous, it might take eight. The priority, he said, is on people newly added to the system, because they are more likely to be at the address listed.

The state Justice Department’s firearms bureau does have a small unit, with 20 agents, that tracks down people on the list. Last year, it investigated 1,717 people and seized 1,224 firearms.

The list is growing far faster, however, than names are being removed. “We’re just not a very big bureau,” Lindley said.

“We do the best we can with the personnel that we have.” The bureau is planning a sweep this spring focused on people on the list for mental health reasons.

Last summer, a man from the Fresno area who had recently been released from a mental health facility was found to possess 73 guns, including 17 unregistered assault rifles.

In the case of Perez, Lt. Joseph Cowan, head of detectives for the Baldwin Park Police Department, said he learned that state agents had been scheduled to visit Perez to confiscate his weapon — two weeks after the rampage took place.

La Pine to buy itself a city hall

Salem Week

Mayor: City needs it to expand services

By Scott Hammers

Examining each week of the 2011 Legislature from a Central Oregon perspective

On education, much is in play

The Bulletin

La Pine has signed a deal to purchase its first city hall, City Manager Rick Allen said Friday.

The building, located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 97 and Sixth Street, is just over 100 yards from the offices the city government currently rents

from Deschutes County. Previously occupied by RE/MAX Summit Realty, the building is currently vacant except for a small financial adviser’s office.

It was forfeited to LibertyBank — since closed by regulators and reopened as Home Federal Bank — by its original owners in 2009.

The offices the city has occu-

pied since incorporating in 2006 consist of two similarly sized rooms. The city’s two full-time employees, Allen and administrative assistant Patti Morgan, work side by side in one room, which also houses city records. Council meetings are held in the second room down the hall. Because the room where the council meets can comfortably accommodate an audience of only around two dozen, meetings about issues at-

tracting significant public interest are held off-site.

Mayor Ken Mulenex said the city’s current facilities are inadequate if it is to proceed with plans to expand services. The city is in the process of taking over the La Pine water and sewer districts, and in the future may take over planning and development duties that are currently contracted to Deschutes County.

SALEM — With a $3.5 billion budget gap between projected revenues and costs, this legislative session will see many Oregonians fighting to preserve programs important to them. Lawmakers have already started grappling with how to do more with less in the state’s education system.

So far, the talk has centered around consolidation and redesign. At this early stage, it’s uncertain what reform ideas will gain momentum. But it’s clear reworking the state’s education system will be a priority this session.

The range of what is being looked at is wide, from the way charter schools are funded to whether rural schools can continue to receive state funding for international students en-

rolled in their districts.

Senate Republicans are pushing to get rid of many state mandates on local school districts.

Gov. John Kitzhaber wants to coordinate early childhood care. And his proposed budget front-loads the K-12 budget, giving school districts more money the first year of the biennium with the goal being that they could find efficiencies and run on less the next year.

What happened SALEM — The 2011 Legislature last week began for real, kicking off committee hearings and debates that will lead to a raft of new laws and a state budget by June – if they stick to the schedule, that is.

Some bills were heard that addressed the state’s budget situation, and so were several of interest to Central Oregon.

The biggest news: On Tuesday, Gov. John Kitzhaber released his long-awaited proposed budget.

In it, he called for major reforms to try to preserve services rather than make deep cuts.

ALBANY — Cynthia Kapple has been drinking raw milk since she was a child, and she’s been selling it now for 10 years.

The milk tastes better than pasteurized milk and is better for you, she said.

One of her customers, Vickie Tucker, also swears by raw milk.

“My daughters won’t drink store-bought milk anymore,” IN THE Tucker said.

LEGISLATURE “They don’t like it.”

Kapple and Tucker believe Oregon’s law that caps a farm’s raw cow’s milk production is just plain wrong.

“It’s a raw food,” Kapple said.

“This isn’t something with chemicals added to it that might be carcinogenic. (The law) blows me away.”

The two Albany-area residents are among thousands of Oregonians aligning behind legislation that will expand a dairy’s ability to supply raw cow’s milk.

House Bill 2222 is sponsored by a diverse group of lawmakers, including a physician, Sen. Alan Bates, D-Ashland, and several conservative Republicans.

The mainstream Oregon dairy industry opposes HB2222.

“The main issue is there is no way you can guarantee the safety of consumers from raw milk,” said Roger Beyer, a lobbyist for the Oregon Dairy Farmers Association. “And what happens is if anyone gets sick from a milk product, consumers don’t look at it as raw versus pasteurized. It’s milk. And there would be impact to the whole industry from that.”

In addition to concerns over human safety, dairy farmers wonder who is going to pay the costs of licensing raw milk dairies.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture estimates the annual cost of licensing raw milk producers at $10,000 per dairy.

“That’s if you don’t have any screened positives, and life is beautiful,” said Jim Postlewait, food program manager with the department.

Testing for pathogens in raw milk is far more expensive than standard dairy tests, which look for drugs and somatic cell counts.

Oregon dairies currently pay

La Pine Continued from B1 “We’ve been at it four years, and if we’re actually going to grow into providing the things the city is responsible for to the citizens, we need a place to be doing regular business in,” Mulenex said.

The city will pay $330,000 for the building, said city manager Rick Allen, and another $170,000 or so to remodel the interior and cover financing costs.

“It’s a great buy,” Allen said. “It would have cost us double that or more to build it — a great buy.”

Allen said the city will occupy about 3,800 of the building’s 4,800 square feet initially and will continue to collect rent from the financial adviser’s office occupying the remainder. About half of the city’s space would serve as offices for city employees, he said, while the other half would be converted into a 49seat conference room for council meetings and other public business.

Once the city takes over the sewer and water districts, bill collection and other administra-

Kapple sells raw cow’s milk from her farm. between $135 and $812 a year for state inspections, with larger dairies paying more.

“We want to know who will pay for that (additional) cost,” Beyer said.

Medical concerns While raw milk has advocates, it also has detractors.

Oregon senior epidemiologist Bill Keene said disease outbreaks from consumers drinking raw milk “are a staple” in epidemiology circles.

“People who drink raw milk are at very high risk for getting infections, relative to people who drink pasteurized milk,” he said.

“If more people drink raw milk, more people will get sick from raw milk. That’s a truism.”

When asked if he would drink raw milk, he said: “Not knowingly.”

When asked if he would recommend his family drink raw milk, he said: “I would be horrified to hear about it.

“It is such an unnecessary risk when pasteurization is cheap and a highly effective public health intervention,” Keene said.

To date, 13 states, including Washington and Idaho, allow

tive functions related to the utilities will shift to the new city hall, Allen said, while the districts’ current facility would become a city public works department.

The building’s purchase is likely to be financed through a program run by the League of Oregon Cities that issues tax-exempt bonds to pay for small public projects around the state. Allen said the city can afford the purchase and remodel without asking La Pine residents for additional taxes.

Assuming the city does not encounter any complications, La Pine will begin soliciting bids for the remodel of the building this spring, Allen said, and should be ready to move in by late summer.

raw cow’s milk sales in stores and 29 allow raw cow’s milk sales of some sort.

Oregon started restricting raw cow’s milk sales in 1999.

Kapple sells the 6 to 9 gallons of milk that her cow produces each day to 15 customers, who drive to the Midway Farms produce stand and pick up the pre-ordered milk.

Other residents have asked if they could buy the milk, but Kapple is unable to supply them.

Education Continued from B1 His proposed budget is $5.56 million for K-12, less than what many local educators were hoping for. There is talk of consolidating education service districts and the idea of pulling the funding for the service districts and instead allowing districts to shop around for services.

Legislators have already introduced a hefty number of bills dealing with education reform, and more are in the works. The list below is not comprehensive, and oftentimes there is more than one bill dealing with a similar subject. But here’s an overview of what some lawmakers, lobbyists and educators were talking about the first week of the 2011 legislative session.

HB 2118 and SB 242: Both bills aim to keep tuition paid by students and interest earned on tuition available for students. “It would end the process where the Legislature could take our money out of our fund balances,” said Oregon State University President Edward Ray. The bills would turn the Oregon University System, the state’s seven public universities, into an independent public university system instead of state agencies. “We have 2,000 more students in Corvallis and 120 more in the Cascades,” Ray said.

“We can’t use their money to educate, even though that’s why they gave us the money.” SB 242 has additional provisions, including creating a coordinating commission to work with all institutions.

SB 559: This bill would allow the University of Oregon to establish its own appointed board and funding. The university would create an endowment, asking the Legislature to sell bonds that would be matched by private fundraising. The endowment would replace state funding.

SB 254: For students who take advanced placement courses in high school, this ensures that no matter the Oregon university or college they attend or transfer to, they will be given the same amount of college credit.

SB 27: If passed, this bill would require education service districts to submit annual audits. It would also give the Oregon Department of Education authority to withhold

Riggs Continued from B1 For development, a city or developer must lease water rights often from a farmer. Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, has introduced a bill to maintain the program. Opponents of the bill have pointed out that it effectively eliminates a cap on pumping rights,

Bills Continued from B1 It won’t formally be revised until Feb. 15, when the state’s updated official economic forecast is released.

Many consider the figure misleading because it includes so many projections. In terms of real dollars, the state’s general fund has increased by $1.2 billion. However, the overall state budget has decreased by $600 million due to reduced federal funding.

Also, the $3.5 billion figure is already out of date since lawmakers have cut more than $1 billion since the last time it was calculated. That means a more realistic gauge of the gap might be roughly $2.5 billion, budget officials say.

Statewide plastic-bag ban to be considered in Salem

By Jeff Barnard The Associated Press

GRANTS PASS — Oregon lawmakers will consider whether the state should become the first to pass a ban on plastic bags, a measure recycling advocates believe would trigger a domino effect among other states.

A bill co-sponsored by two Republicans and two Democrats would outlaw throwaway plastic checkout bags at all retail stores in Oregon, a state that is already a national leader in passing green legislation. Shoppers would be forced to bring their own bag or pay a nickel apiece for recycled paper bags under SB 536.

A hearing is set for Tuesday in Salem on the proposed ban, which is supported by the Northwest Grocers Association and one of the state’s biggest bag users — Fred Meyer stores.

A number of supporters, who expect a fight with the chemical industry, are framing the debate as a jobs issue.

“There are over 2,000 Oregonians employed in the paper bag manufacturing industry,”

Climb Continued from B1 Deputy Fire Marshal Dan Derlacki said the Columbia Center is an imposing climb for any firefighter, particularly those who are from a part of the world where a three- or four-story building could be considered tall.

“Sixty-nine floors. We’re talking 10 times taller than the Oxford Hotel, our tallest building,” he said.

Now in its 20th year, the Seattle stair climb raised $780,000 for leukemia and lymphoma research and patient services last year. As in past years, the Bend firefighters have selected a local resident to serve as their inspiration for the event.

This year, Bend firefighters will be climbing for Avrey Walker, a second-grader at Tuck Elementary School in Redmond currently undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia.

The firefighters from Missoula, Mont., are the acknowledged kings of the stair climb, firefighter Bill Lollar said. Led by 2009 and 2010 champion Kory Burgess — last year, he covered the 1,311 steps from street level to the observation deck in a shade over 11

IN THE LEGISLATURE said Jon Isaacs, executive director of the Oregon League of Conservation Voters. “Not one single plastic bag is produced here.”

Charlie Plybon, head of a group that advocates for clean beaches and clean oceans, said he received a call from a mysterious marketer that said it was conducting a survey on the proposed plastic bag ban. He said all of the questions were slanted toward talking the respondent into opposing the legislation. The caller even said “bag police” would fine Oregonians for violations. There is no such provision in the proposed legislation.

“The more you answer, ‘Yes, I still favor the plastic bag legislation,’ the longer the survey lasts, the more questions they ask you, the more information they kind of throw at you,” Plybon said from his home in Newport.

minutes — the Missoula Rural Fire District team also serves a region with few tall buildings, but puts in a lot of training time climbing the hills in the area.

Lollar has run up Pilot Butte in full gear a few times, and said it seems even the fittest of Bend’s super-fit are impressed by what the firefighters endure while training for the stair climb.

“The clothes are obviously designed to keep heat out, but in doing so, they keep heat in,” he said. “It’s like a little pressure cooker in there.”

Bend firefighters are planning to spend the next few weekends stair climbing in public to col-

Others have reported similar calls.

Passage of SB 536 could lead other states to draft similar laws, said Vince Cobb, founder of Reusit.com from Chicago, calling the measure a “tipping point.”

Before the session, Republican leaders said the issue was not on their radar, and questioned how it could address the state’s most pressing issue — jobs.

Co-sponsor Sen. Mark Hass, D-Beaverton, counters that Oregon should be doing what it can to help paper-bag plants like International Paper’s in Beaverton to stay open.

The grocer and general merchandise retailer Fred Meyer has already stopped handing out plastic bags at 10 stores around Portland to jump-start the transition.

“We see this train has left the station,” Fred Meyer spokeswoman Melinda Merrill said from Portland.

A telephone survey of 600 moderate voters last June found 77 percent favoring a ban, Isaacs said.

Scientists aim to debunk alchemy 75 years ago 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 5, 1911 ASK POST OFFICE With the names of 29 patrons who would be served attached, a petition has just been forwarded from Bend to the Post Office Department at Washington asking for the establishment of a post office 26 miles east of Bend. The name proposed is Millican, and for appointment as postmaster Mrs. Mabel C. Tozier is suggested. In addition to the signatures of persons who will get their mail at the proposed office, the paper carries the names of a large number of the leading business and professional men of Bend, who endorse the movement for the new post office.

If the petition is granted, it is planned to have a store in connection with the office for the convenience of homesteaders in that vicinity.

There are many homesteaders who have filed on claims in Millican Valley who have not established residence there but will do so soon. Newcomers are coming in rapidly and taking land within eight or 10 miles of the new office.

The location of the office will be on the road to the ranch of George Millican and about two miles west of his home. The official suggested in the petition is the wife of Lester M. Tozier, who has a 320-acre claim. Mr. Tozier already has a house built.

It is proposed to call the office Millican in honor of George Millican, who for some 25 years has made his home in the valley, being engaged in horse and cattle raising.

Millican Valley is the nearest extensive tract of government land to Bend which is open for entry under the homestead laws. It is covered with a heavy growth of sagebrush and bunch grass, and water has been found by all who have dug at moderate depths.

There are already four wells in the valley, the deepest of which is 19 feet. The valley is being rapidly taken up, though as yet all the good land is not filed on.

Those who are already on the land are beginning preparation for putting in spring crops. Considerable grain will be sown and potatoes and other vegetables planted. Last year one settler raised a good crop of rye. Several acres of winter grain have been put in by another homesteader. The volcanic ash soil has been pronounced by experts to be rich and deep, and admirably suited to the growing of wheat and other grains by dry farming methods.

Posts for fencing and timber for other purposes, as well as wood for fuel, is obtainable from Pine Mountain and from the low juniper-covered butte on the north. The right-of-way of the proposed east-west line of the Oregon Trunk Railway runs through the valley not far from the location of the proposed Millican post office.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 5, 1936 SEEK TO DEBUNK ALCHEMY THEORY A group of British scientists headed by Prof. J.R. Partingdon of the University of London has formed an alchemy society “to end all talk of alchemy” and prove to the world that man can’t make gold out of base metals.

The society will have none of the crucibles, ancient formulas, mercury furnaces, nor any of the hocus-pocus of the past.

“Almost everything in this age has been debunked thoroughly, and now we are going to debunk alchemy,” Prof. Partingdon said.

“We are going to convince the world that nobody ever could, except possibly by a tremendous development of modern electrical knowledge involving a heat equivalent to that of a star, produce gold from any other metal.”

Dr. F. Sherwood Taylor, also of London University, said it might be possible with this new knowledge to transmute metals and produce gold by rearranging the atoms and taking away a portion of the nucleus.

“But we come to the great stumbling block,” he added, “for it would need the heat of a star.

Probably some of the stars which are constantly growing hotter and smaller are now making gold.”

Y E S T E R D AY The society will study the writings of the old alchemists and assemble them in a manner to “make it impossible for anybody ever to believe even half-heartedly in man made gold anymore — not even the romantic story about roasted salamanders and mystical incantations.”

The scientists point out, however, that the earlier pursuits of alchemy have an important role in the early history of chemistry because many of the most important chemical substances used today were discovered accidentally by the alchemists and the beginnings of the world’s laboratory apparatus were worked out by them.

It was they who first developed the chemical distilling apparatus which has undergone few changes to this day.

“What they distilled in the apparatus I have never been able to discover,” Dr. Taylor said. “But I often have wondered whether the secret that the old alchemists discovered and guarded so carefully wasn’t really the secret distilling of alcohol.”

The most curious thing about alchemy is that it lasts so long, he added.

“It seems incredible that for centuries they should have gone on getting no results at all and yet the belief in the possibility of making gold should persist.

“Some of them were quite respectable men, too. Of course there were a few crooks who were the medieval equivalent of the confidence worker along the gold brick lines. They came along to someone who had a lot of money and offered to give a demonstration.

“They boiled up some mercury, stirred it with a stick on the end of which a bit of gold had already been fixed with wax. The wax melted and lo, they had made gold. Then they collected a large sum of money to do the same thing on a large scale and promptly disappeared.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 5, 1961 ASTROCHIMP HAM CAME THROUGH IN GOOD SHAPE Astrochimp Ham strutted bowlegged before the press today to show he was in good shape after his space flight, and his handlers said a man would have been “perfectly all right” had he made the same trip.

Officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said no further tests of the life support system in the one-ton Project Mercury space capsule would be needed before a human astronaut makes a similar flight down the Atlantic test range.

However, there was a likelihood that the Redstone rocket booster which performed erratically on Ham’s flight Tuesday would have to be tested again before one of America’s seven astronauts is boosted on a flight.

6½-TON SPUTNIK GOES INTO ORBIT Russia today launched a 6½ton Sputnik, the largest manmade satellite ever to be sent into space, the Tass News Agency announced.

The announcement said the Sputnik was launched “by means of an improved multi-stage rocket. The Sputnik weighs 6,483 kilograms, not counting the weight of the last stage of the carrier rocket.”

“The launch was in conformity with the plan for designing and perfecting spaceships of increased weight,” Tass said.

It did not say whether the satellite carried any form of life.

The announcement used the term “Sputnik” to describe the object, not “spaceship” as it did in describing two previous launchings.

Sputnik is Russian for satellite.

The Soviets sent two dogs, mice and plant life into space and returned them safely last August.

That spaceship weighed 4.6 tons.

40,000-SEAT U OF O STADIUM DUE Plans for a new U of O football stadium were announced today to be built on the north bank park area across the Willamette River.

The model has all 40,000 seats on the sidelines with no end zone seats except for a novel and new “view” type parking, which has area for 400 cars in the end zone. Fans could watch games

there without leaving their automobiles.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 5, 1986 COUNTY TEST FLIES AIR SERVICE IDEA The idea is yet to sprout wings, but Deschutes County is considering a unique approach to bringing improved air service to Central Oregon: starting its own commercial airline.

County Administrator Mike Maier floated his idea past the board of commissioners last week in a memo. His plan — which he himself described as “off the wall” — will be discussed Wednesday at the weekly commission meeting.

“We’re just seeing if this thing is possible,” Maier said.

“Once people stop laughing, they’ll see that maybe this isn’t such a crazy idea.”

Maier’s idea is for the county to set up a small commercial airline and offer flights connecting the Redmond Airport with other Oregon destinations, principally Portland International Airport.

Maier said expensive ticket prices and limited air service offered by Horizon Airlines, the only commercial carrier operating out of Redmond prompted his proposal.

“A round-trip ticket to Portland on Horizon costs about $160,” he said. “We can’t do any worse than that.”

The county has contacted the Federal Aviation Administration and soon may meet with FAA officials in Portland to see if the proposal is feasible.

Maier said that to his knowledge there are no other municipally commercial airlines in the country.

“Everyone is telling government to use a little imagination,” he said. “This is a new idea, but this concept might just be the ticket to affordable and dependable air service in Deschutes County.”

A county-owned and operated airline might be the answer, he said, because it would not have to make a profit to survive. “All we’d have to do is break even,” he said.

Even with new reverse mortgage loan, caution urged for elderly

By Kathleen Lynn The Record (Hackensack N.J.)

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Reverse mortgages allow seniors to use their home equity while staying in their homes — but have been criticized for their high upfront fees, among other things.

A new loan has hit the market, however, offering sharply lower startup costs in exchange for a tighter limit on the amount that can be borrowed.

“It opens up new options for people to think about in terms of how they tap their equity as a retirement resource,” said Barbara Stucki, vice president of home equity initiatives at the National Council on Aging.

Even with these lower costs, advisers say older homeowners should be cautious about reverse mortgages, because the loans can use up the value of their homes, and because in some cases, salespeople have persuaded them to put the loan proceeds into unsuitable investments.

The new loan, called the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Saver, charges an upfront insurance premium of 0.01 percent of the value of the home — a fraction of the 2 percent charged by the traditional Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. Both HECMs are insured by the Federal Housing Administration, which backs the vast majority of the reverse mortgage market.

On a $400,000 home, a borrower who chooses the Saver would pay $40 in upfront insurance premiums, compared with $8,000 on a regular reverse mortgage.

The tradeoff is that less money is available to the homeowner — 10 to 18 percent less, depending on the age of the borrower.

At recent interest rates, a 72year-old owner of a $400,000 home could borrow up to $192,875 under the HECM Saver, compared with $246,398 under the traditional HECM, said Peter Bell, president of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association, a trade group representing about 400 lenders. The lower borrowing limit means the FHA is less likely to lose money on the loan, making the smaller insurance premium possible.

At the same time, many of the private lenders that make these loans have sliced their origination fees, Bell said. While in the past, they charged origination fees totaling thousands of dollars — on top of the insurance premiums — many lenders have now cut or waived the origination fees. They have been able to do that because investors are paying a premium for securities backed by reverse mortgages, Bell said.

Because lenders’ origination fees vary, it pays to shop around

Advisers say older homeowners should be cautious about reverse mortgages, because the loans can use up the value of their homes, and because in some cases, salespeople have persuaded them to put the loan proceeds into unsuitable investments. among lenders for the best deal, Stucki advised. “A few percentage points in the cost of the loan or service fee could make a big difference,” Stucki said.

While the startup costs on reverse mortgages have dropped, the annual insurance premium has risen, from 0.5 percent of the outstanding loan balance to 1.25 percent. That has been necessary to protect the FHA from losses during the housing market’s meltdown.

Reverse mortgages used to have only adjustable interest rates, but the FHA recently added a fixed-rate option. While many borrowers like the idea of knowing the interest rate won’t rise, experts caution homeowners to think twice. To get the fixed rate, the homeowner must take out the full loan amount as a lump sum, and will be paying interest and insurance on all of it, even if only a small amount is needed.

“Most people would be better served with the adjustable rate, because they don’t have to take all the money upfront,” said Susanna Montezemolo, a vice president with the Center for Responsible Lending. She also pointed out that elderly homeowners who suddenly have a large pool of money can be targeted by salespeople selling potentially unsuitable financial products, such as deferred annuities.

Montezemolo said that homeowners should not take reverse mortgages lightly.

“They’re an option for someone who is cash-poor but equity-rich,

and can’t meet living expenses,” she said. “For people who want to tap into their equity to have a vacation or something, it becomes a very expensive vacation if you start adding up all the fees.”

Borrowers in their mid-60s have increasingly applied for reverse mortgages because they’ve lost their jobs in the recession.

But Stucki said these borrowers may risk depleting their home equity.

“They may use it sooner and have nothing left for later,” said Stucki.

“People need to be very strategic, as they would about any asset, and not just look at their immediate needs but also at their long-term goals.”

“The savings they have in their home may be the last savings they have,” Montezemolo agreed.

“They need to have it last the rest of their life.” In addition, she pointed out, homeowners who delay using a reverse mortgage will get more money, because older homeowners can borrow larger amounts.

Sue Aileen Brewster On February 3, 2011, Susan Aileen Brewster died in her home in Bend, Oregon, surrounded by her family and friends.

Her mother, Peg Thomas, predeceased Sue in 2006.

Sue is survived by her two beautiful children, Anne Elise Brewster Brinich, and Benjamin Lanspeary Brinich; her Sue Brewster husband, Ken Brinich; her brothers, David Brewster, Paul Brewster and Michael Brewster; her father, David Brewster; her step-mother, Joy Brewster; her step-sister, Carol Holden; her step-brothers, Dave Thomas, Bruce Thomas, Terry Rowe, and Larry Rowe.

At 57 years, her life was short, but very full.

Sue is a direct descendant of William Brewster, one of the Pilgrim colonist leaders who reached Plymouth Rock in the Mayflower in 1620. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, to Peggy and David Brewster, she was a Campfire Girl, a cheerleader, and a graduate of Michigan State University with a BA in Criminal Justice.

She attended Willamette Law School, graduating in 1985.

She worked until 1987 as a Deputy District Attorney in Yamhill County before accepting a job as a Deputy District Attorney in Deschutes County.

She continued working as a DDA until 1991.

She then worked as assistant legal counsel for Deschutes County for six years, afterwards working as the Deschutes County Sheriff's legal counsel.

Sue enjoyed all outdoor activities with her friends and family. She Nordic and Alpine skied, swam and sailed on Elk Lake, and biked and ran the mountain roads and trails.

An open memorial service is planned for Monday, February 7, at 4 p.m. in Aspen Hall, with the program starting at 5 p.m. In lieu of flowers, Sue's family asks that friends and relatives consider making a donation to the Deschutes Land Conservancy fund.

As Sue's eight-year-old niece said last week, ‘stupid cancer stupid.’

Virtuoso Indian singer Joshi dies New York Times News Service “Even Gods Must Die.” So read a recent headline on the website of Open, an English-language Indian magazine, above a tribute to the singer Pandit Bhimsen Joshi.

Joshi, who died Jan. 24 at 88, was for decades one of the world’s most revered singers of Indian classical music. His death, at a hospital in Pune, in westcentral India, was announced by hospital officials, The Associated Press reported.

After the announcement, according to many articles in the Indian news media, thousands of people thronged Joshi’s home in Pune to pay their respects. He was accorded a state funeral, with a 21-gun salute and dignitaries in attendance.

Rene Verdon, French chef for the Kennedys, dies at 86 New York Times News Service Rene Verdon, whose position as the White House chef during the Kennedy administration helped him project the allure of classic French cuisine to the American public, died Wednesday in San Francisco. He was 86.

Verdon brought French culinary flair to the White House, long a headquarters for dull institutional cooking often supplied by

outside caterers. Thanks in large part to Jacqueline Kennedy, a walking advertisement for French style, it was a time when the public was highly receptive to all messages emanating from Paris.

Verdon took full advantage of his platform, elevating standards at the White House overnight and contributing in no small part to the shimmering atmosphere of Camelot.

Envoy, Mideast expert Richard Parker The Washington Post WASHINGTON — Richard Parker, 87, a career Foreign Service officer and Middle East expert who served in the 1970s as the U.S. ambassador to Algeria, Lebanon and Morocco, died Jan. 7 at a retirement facility in Washington.

He had vascular disease.

Parker retired from the State Department in 1980 after more than 30 years of service. He also held posts in Australia, Israel, Jordan and Egypt.

In retirement, he was a diplomat-in-residence at the University of Virginia, where he taught classes on foreign policy and served as an editor of the Middle East Journal.

The depth of his expertise in Arab culture led him to write scores of academic papers on a variety of topics, including Lebanese proverbs and Arabic graffiti in Middle Eastern men’s restrooms.

Parker’s interest in the Middle East began soon after his release from a prisoner of war camp during World War II. During his repatriation, Parker traveled through the present-day Ukrainian city of Odessa, the Turkish Straits and Port Said in Egypt. He became fascinated with the intricacies of Arab culture.

He joined the Foreign Service in 1949 and specialized as an Arabist. He spoke Arabic with native fluency and became a respected adviser on Middle Eastern politics.

Cabaret singer Mary Cleere Haran echoed stars of long ago New York Times News Service Mary Cleere Haran, a classic popular singer and writer much admired for her cabaret shows celebrating the American songbook, died Saturday at a hospital in Deerfield Beach, Fla., two days after a cycling accident. She was 58 and was living in Florida, having taken a break from a career that saw her perform in every major New York supper club.

Haran was struck from the side by a car coming out of a driveway after dropping off her résumé at a hotel, according to a friend, Bridge McIntyre. She never regained consciousness.

A singer of remarkable purity whose simple unaffected pop-jazz style echoed big-band singers of the 1940s, most notably Ella Fitzgerald, Haran made her Manhattan cabaret debut in 1988 at the now-defunct Ballroom.

Swinging lightly, she eschewed melodramatic posturing to deliver deep, thoughtful interpretations of standards

by Rodgers and Hart, Harry Warren, the Gershwins and others. She had a special love of the wry, wistful lyrics of Hart to whom she paid tribute in two different shows.

Her stage personality reflected the upbeat, can-do spirit (with zany screwball touches) and subdued glamour of long-ago film stars like Myrna Loy, Irene Dunne and Claudette Colbert. Much as she admired those actresses, her attitude was not that of a besotted fan but of a modern woman with a feminist sensibility who refracted the past through the present.

A particular singing idol was Doris Day, whom she interviewed in a PBS documentary, “Doris Day: Sentimental Journey,” which she also wrote and co-produced.

LeRoy Grannis, photographer of surf culture

By Valerie J. Nelson Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — LeRoy Grannis, a noted photographer whose widely printed images captured and popularized the surf culture of California as it exploded in the 1960s and ’70s, has died.

He was 93.

Grannis, who also cofounded what is now Surfing magazine, died Thursday of natural causes at a Torrance nursing facility, said his son John.

“There’s surfing royalty, and he was one of the kings,” his son said. “He inspired so many big-name photographers that consider him their mentor.”

His photographs “caught surfing at a critical juncture between cult and culture,” wrote Steve Barilotti in the introduction to “LeRoy Grannis: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s,” a $400 limited-edition 2006 book.

While his photos of grass shacks and woody station wagons evoke nostalgia, Grannis “was documenting surfing’s rapid evolution into an iconic lifestyle,” Barilotti wrote. “His photos captured the real thing, providing a bridge between the world of Beach Boy lyrics and the reality of the Southern California beach scene.”

The Surfing Walk of Fame in Huntington Beach, Calif., which added Grannis in 1999, saluted him for creating “many of the 1960s’ most enduring surfing images.”

He freeze-framed freshscrubbed surfers riding longboards without leashes but also swung his camera around to record the evolving surf culture in California and Hawaii. For every “Greg Noll About to Eat It, Waimea Bay (Oahu), 1966,” there was a scene-setter such as the “Aussie Surf Wagon” in California’s Hermosa Beach plastered with such slogans as “The Young Wave Hunters” and “Malibu or Bust.”

Although he often shot from shore with a long lens, Grannis in 1963 bought a Calypso underwater camera, invented by oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, and waded into the water.

A year later, Grannis started developing a waterproof

“I started chasing good surf, and what was a hobby became a lot more,” Grannis told the Times in 2005.

“Surfing was becoming immensely popular. ... And the ‘Gidget’ movie had struck a chord,” he said. “Suddenly everyone wanted to surf, or at least look like surfers.”

In California, a small fish is caught in a big fuss

By Bettina Boxall Los Angeles Times

SACRAMENTO-SAN JOAQUIN DELTA, Calif. — When Peter Moyle began studying an obscure little Northern California fish in the early 1970s, he had no inkling of the role it would come to play in the state.

No one had paid much attention to the delta smelt. “They were just there,” recalled Moyle, then an assistant professor at the University of California, Davis, in need of a research topic. “We knew nothing about it.”

Nearly four decades later, the delta smelt is arguably the most powerful player in California water. Its movements rule the pumping operations of the state’s biggest water projects in the SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta. Efforts to stave off its demise have at times reduced water deliveries to 25 million people and 2 million acres of farmland, magnifying the impact of the recent drought and forcing farmers to fallow fields. Politicians harangue it and maneuver to gut the regulations that protect it.

Why all the fuss over a puny creature — streaked in steely blue, redolent of cucumbers and no bigger than a woman’s little finger — that Central Valley congressmen and Fox News broadcasters belittle as a worthless bait fish and “a 2inch minnow.” Why not just crank up the pumps and forget the thing?

Moyle, whose work helped earn the delta smelt a spot on the federal endangered species list in 1993, is philosophical at first: The American people have decided that we should not wipe species after species off the face of the Earth.

Then he gets more pragmatic.

“If the delta smelt goes away, it’s not going to solve the problem” of California’s dependence on the ailing delta for a good measure of its water, Moyle said. He reels off a list of prized fish that use the delta and are also in trouble, such as Chinook salmon and green sturgeon.

Help the smelt, he says, and we help them.

Bill Bennett is a former graduate student of Moyle’s who picked up his mentor’s research baton and passion for delta smelt. He champions Hypomesus transpacificus

Delta smelt The native delta smelt was listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 1993.

as a unique native whose fate is entwined with that of the West Coast’s largest estuary.

Drive the delta smelt and other natives into oblivion, he warns, and we will wind up with “the McDonalds and Wal-Mart version of California,” overrun with generic species from elsewhere. “I think people appreciate the real California rather than something they can get everywhere.”

Bennett, an associate researcher at UC Davis’ John Muir Institute of the Environment, is bracing himself against the wind as he speeds down the Sacramento River with a government research team on a chilly gray day to scout locations for a new smelt study. The crew was back on the river taking field samples in the rain at 3 a.m. Christmas Day. Delta smelt exist “only here,” he says with an emphatic jab of his finger. “And they do something remarkable every year.” They hatch, mature, migrate up the delta to spawn in fresh water, and then die — all in a 12-month period.

Even under ideal conditions, a delta smelt’s existence is not easy.

They have low fertility rates. For much of their life cycle, they favor a narrow zone of water with just the right salinity levels that shifts location in the delta according to freshwater flows.

Successful spawning requires a precise range of water temperature. One of their enduring mys-

teries is exactly where in the delta they spawn: Only one delta smelt egg has been discovered in the wild.

For the record, delta smelt are not minnows. They belong to the smelt family (Osmeridae), and are distant relatives of salmon. Like the San Francisco Estuary system it evolved in, the delta smelt is a young species, probably no older than 8,000 to 10,000 years.

The smelt’s ability to adapt to the complex conditions of the delta are a blessing and a curse, allowing it to develop as a distinct species but also limiting it to an area that has for decades functioned as a giant faucet for much of California.

“It’s extraordinarily well-adapted for the system the way it was,” Moyle said.

That is the core of the smelt’s problems, for today’s delta bears little resemblance to the fish’s original home. Drained, farmed, colonized by invasive species and used as a conduit to ship water from Northern California to the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California, the delta is an ecological invalid.

Scientists can’t say how close the delta smelt is to extinction, but the population has collapsed in the last decade to the lowest levels ever recorded. It’s possible that sometime soon the only place to find delta smelt will be in tanks at the UC Davis Fish Conservation and Culture Lab.

Nature of Words founder to read from her own poems, essays

By David Jasper The Bulletin

RETREAT TO THE

REDWOODS

Ellen Waterston wears two literary hats: The one that gets more airing may be that of founder and executive director of The Nature of Words, the annual literary festival that, since its 2005 launch, has brought the likes of Annie Proulx, Timothy Egan, Ted Kooser and Luis Alberto Urrea to Bend each fall.

Over the years, Waterston, of Bend, has expanded The Nature of Words’ size and scope to include the Rising Star writing competition, bringing writers into classrooms and offering writing instruction and tutoring at its downtown Bend office through its Storefront Project.

But it’s her other hat, that of writer and poet, that brings Waterston, 64, to Second Sunday one week from today (see “If you go”). Waterston tells The Bulletin that, along with some new poems, she plans to read excerpts from her most recent book, “Where the Crooked River Rises: A High Desert Home.”

Though narrow and winding, Howland Hill Road is a treasure of a route through Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Extending nine miles from Hiouchi to Crescent City, it accesses Stout Grove, one of the outstanding features in California’s redwoods.

Colossal trees inspire awe like no other Northwest natural wonder NORTHWEST TR AVEL

By John Gottberg Anderson For The Bulletin

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. — he most impressive natural sight in the greater Pacific Northwest region is not a mountain peak wearing its winter cap of snow, nor a rocky beach enduring the crash of surf, nor a volcanic lake or rushing river or painted desertscape.

Don’t get me wrong. I love them all.

But first, give me trees. Specifically, give me the giant coastal redwoods of Stout Memorial Grove in northwestern California’s Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

Located a couple of miles off U.S. Highway 199 near Hiouchi, on the south bank of the Smith River near the unpaved (but all-season) Howland Hill Road, the Stout Grove is a rare cathedrallike sanctuary where the modern world seems a thousand years and a million miles away.

The majesty of these colossal trees cannot be understated. Germinated about the time a man named Jesus walked the plains of distant Palestine, they have been buffeted by centuries of rain and wind, fire and vermin. They have

Elk lock antlers in a dispute in aptly named Elk Meadow, between Orick and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Numerous herds of Roosevelt elk make their home in the redwoods parks, where they may grow to as much as 1,000 pounds. sheltered centuries of Native American tribes and, in the past 200 years, witnessed the proliferation of Western civilization.

Yet they persist, rising high above every oth-

er living thing. Coast redwoods grow to more than 350 feet, higher than a 30-story building.

Even so, their range is as restricted as their life is long. Prolific over much of the Northern Hemisphere at the time of the dinosaurs, redwoods today are found only on the western slopes of the Coast Ranges, in a 450-mile-long strip from the southwestern Oregon border to the Monterey Peninsula.

I feel awed and insignificant when I wander among these ancient giants. In Stout Grove, although the loop trail is a mere half-mile around, I circled it three times on a recent visit. The spring of the sod beneath my feet, the sunlight peeking through the green boughs, the twitter of songbirds from a thicket of rhododendron bushes, made the short hike a multisensory experience.

Learn how to help your aging parents through their final years and to prepare for your own through four workshops starting later this month.

The series, “Wiser and Older: Education and Empowerment Series for Adult Children and Seniors,” has been developed by Bend resident Ali Davidson, who owned an in-home care agency for a decade and now is a counselor in private practice. Davidson will teach the first three workshops; the last will be led by an expert panel.

The first workshop will be held Feb. 28, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at St. Charles Bend. Titled “Successful Aging is in the Plan,” it deals with how to establish a plan for aging before a crisis hits.

The next, scheduled for March 28, is “Intergenerational Communication: It’s Not What You Say But How You Say It.” The third, on April 25, is “Are You My Mother?

Working with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.” This workshop also addresses the differences between the two.

Last will be “Now What? An Expert Panel Presents Legal, Financial and Caregiving Scenarios and Solutions.” It will take place May 23.

Tickets to individual workshops are $29 in advance or $39 at the door. Tickets to the entire series are available for $99.

Service will honor the memory of Jewish musician Friedman Temple Beth Tikvah will hold a musical Shabbat service Friday to honor the memory of influential modern Jewish musician Debbie Friedman, who died Jan. 9 at the age of 59.

Local musical guests will perform, including vocal soloist Melissa Bagwell, Julie Geveshausen on piano and harp, Jo Booser on violin and musical director Lauren Olander on flute.

Friedman wrote many of the melodies used in contemporary Jewish prayer during her nearly 40year career. One of her most influential pieces of music, “Mi Sheberach” (“A Prayer for Healing”), is in the liturgy of the Reform Jewish prayer book.

The 6 p.m. service will be held in the sanctuary of the First United Methodist Church, 680 N.W. Bond St., Bend.

C2 Sunday, February 6, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Waiting room mags could be health risk Dear Abby: May I make a plea to all physicians? Please remove the magazines and children’s books from your waiting rooms! Again and again, I see patients sneezing and coughing over and around these materials without covering their mouths, and handling them with contaminated hands.

The next patient who innocently touches one of those items puts him or herself at risk of infection. The same applies to children’s toys, if they are provided in waiting rooms.

My advice to patients, and to parents of children with appointments, is to bring their own reading materials, iPads, laptops or needlework to pass the time waiting for their doctor’s appointment. Parents should bring a favorite toy for this purpose.

Let’s all work together to keep our germs to ourselves. Thank you for getting the word out, Abby.

— Edythe in Tennessee Dear Edythe: That’s excellent advice, and something people rarely think of. Children frequently put their hands in their mouths — and adults who touch the furniture and doorknobs in doctor’s offices should wash their hands before touching their faces.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure — and it’s less expensive!

Dear Abby: Your columns about the kindness of strangers impel me to relate a recent experience. As an 80-year-old retired general contractor, I stay busy by making custom furniture. Recently, I picked up a full load of hardwood planks.

Because some of the pieces were very long, I had to keep the tailgate of my pickup truck down.

All went well until I reached the first stop sign. When I started to pull away, my truck went forward, but the load stayed put! Halfway across the busy intersection with traffic going all directions, I panicked. I knew I couldn’t lift those 46 planks by myself.

DEAR ABBY Out of nowhere, two gentlemen rushed through the traffic, and without a word, began loading the planks, two at a time, into my truck. When they were all loaded, I offered each young man my heartfelt thanks. My proffered reward was brushed aside with a short, “That’s not necessary. Have a good day!” People are great in Southern California.

— Grateful in Garden Grove, Calif.

Dear Grateful: Actually, people are great all over. But as another resident of Southern California, I second the motion.

Dear Abby: I would like to offer a word of hope for all those hurting grandmothers whose sons’ wives have been unkind or ignored them. Have patience! Someday those very same daughters-in-law will be mothers-in-law. In my case, my grandson married a girl just like his mother. Now my daughter-inlaw is a grandma, too, and she’s getting the same kind of treatment she gave me. Of course, I say nothing — but I smile a lot.

— Smiling in Illinois Dear Smiling: Yours may be a knowing smile, but it proves the truth of the lyric, “When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you.” Your letter is a reminder of how often events come full circle with unexpected results.

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.

Newark’s struggles return on Sundance

By Chuck Barney

way of his six-shooter.

Contra Costa Times

Super Bowl XLV 3:30 today, Fox It’s time once again to rev up the gridiron gluttony — a day when we shovel thousands of calories into our faces, bounce off the walls, and pretend to be diehard football fans, even if we don’t know a nickel defense from a penny loafer. This year, the big game pits the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Green Bay Packers in a matchup of two of the NFL’s most storied franchises. Oh, but the day is about more than football. There are the totally wacky commercials and, of course, the halftime show, which this year has the Black Eyed Peas bringing the “Boom Boom Pow” to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

“Glee” 7:30 tonight, Fox. (Time approximate after football) Even if you’re not hip to “Glee,” you’ll want to stick around after the game for the show’s razzledazzle play — an elaborate take on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

Besides, you’ll probably be so full of guacamole dip you won’t be able to get up off the couch.

“Brick City” 8 tonight, Sundance Channel The inspiring Peabody Award-winning “Brick City” returns for a six-episode second season. The documentary series follows the citizens of Newark, N.J., and Mayor Cory Booker as they struggle to lift the city out of violence and poverty.

“Californication” 9 tonight, Showtime Don’t you hate it when this

“The Vampire Diaries” 8 p.m. Thursday, The CW On “The Vampire Diaries,” Elena and Stefan (Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley) set out for a romantic weekend at the Gilbert family lake house. Too bad they don’t realize they’re being followed.

“Fringe” 9 p.m. Friday, Fox “Fringe” continues to get its freak on with an episode that has the team investigating a bioterrorist who has unleashed an insect that devours human flesh.

On “Californication,” Charlie (Evan Handler) is shocked to learn that his vasectomy was botched, which means he could be Marcy’s (Pamela Adlon) baby daddy.

“The Chicago Code” 9 p.m. Monday, Fox Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”) is one of the creative forces behind “The Chicago Code.” Starring Jason Clarke and Jennifer Beals, it’s a fresh drama about cops fighting crime and corruption in the Windy City.

“The Biggest Loser” 8 p.m. Tuesday, NBC Oh, this is just wrong: The latest episode of “The Biggest Loser” features a temptation challenge that plops the contestants into a room full of decadent chocolate treats for Valentine’s Day.

“Traffic Light” 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Fox “Traffic Light” is a new sitcom about three longtime buddies from college trying to balance their relationships with the need for freedom. Sounds like someone needs to man up.

“Mr. Sunshine” 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, ABC An old friend returns in the new sitcom, “Mr. Sunshine,” as Matthew Perry stars as the selfcentered manager of a sports arena. We’re just praying that it’s better than “Joey.”

“Justified” 10 p.m. Wednesday, FX In Season 2 of the riveting drama, “Justified,” Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) continues to walk tall and wear a big hat. Our advice to bad guys: Don’t get in the

A passenger car slowly approaches the Tour Thru Tree, a minor attraction near the Yurok Indian community of Klamath. Vehicles are charged $5 for the opportunity to drive through the tunneled redwood, less than a half-mile off U.S. Highway 101.

The Battery Point Lighthouse has been a Crescent City landmark at the head of its harbor since 1856. Open seasonally as a museum, the lighthouse displays historical photos of the great tsunami that virtually flattened Crescent City in 1964.

Redwoods Continued from C1 Where trees had fallen and were cut through to clear the path, their cross-sections were as wide as I am tall. Some trees harbored small caves, probably a home to some creature, beneath their roots. Others, shrouded by sword ferns as high as my waist, leaned into one another in a manner that evoked visions of an otherworldly wonderland.

Jed Smith’s legacy A remarkable man gave his name to this state park — a division of the Redwoods National and State Parks — and to the river that flows through it.

Jedediah Smith (1799-1831) packed more into his short life than most people can dream about. As a fur trader and explorer, he was the first white American to travel overland across the Great Basin to the Sierra Nevada and California.

During pioneering travels up the California coast to the Oregon Country in 1828, he was the first to comment on the great redwood forests. He died on the Santa Fe Trail, killed in a Comanche ambush, after surviving three massacres and a grizzly-bear mauling through his twenties.

In the late 19th century and into the 20th, California’s redwood forests were heavily logged, primarily to build homes for the throngs of Easterners moving to the Pacific Coast. In 1918, a group of conservationists alarmed by the rapid depletion of the unique forests formed the Save-the-Redwoods League.

When the 44-acre Frank D. Stout Memorial Grove was donated to the league in 1929 by the widow of a timber baron, it became the cornerstone for Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. The park now cov-

ers about 10,000 acres along the Smith River and tributary creeks.

Abutting Smith Park to the east is the Smith River National Recreation Area. Embracing all three forks of the wild and scenic (and completely undammed) Smith River, the recreation area extends across 450 square miles from the Oregon border south.

It’s cut neatly in two by winding U.S. Highway 199, a 77-mile route that links Oregon’s Grants Pass with Crescent City, the northernmost town of size on the California coast.

U.S. Highway 199 follows the Smith River Scenic Byway for 27 miles from just past the border crossing. Depending on the season, salmon and steelhead fishermen, kayakers and whitewater rafters may be seen in the rapids and canyons readily visible from the road. There’s a visitor center at Gasquet (pronounced “GAS-key”), along with rare facilities for travelers.

Ten miles farther at Hiouchi (“hi-oh-OO-chee”), the highway enters the national park. About two miles east of here, travelers can keep an eye out for the Howland Hill Road turnoff.

It’s a two-way road, but is only about 1½ lanes wide, and larger vehicles — including trailers and motor homes — are discouraged from traveling it. But the eight-mile road, which ends on the east side of Crescent City, is worthy of a long detour off U.S. 199, for Stout Grove as well as other trails and diversions.

Other groves in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park are good second choices for travelers unwilling or unable to take the Howland Hill Road. The best alternative is the Simpson-Reed Grove, with a ¾-mile trail beginning about three miles west of Hiouchi.

Crescent City Redwood national and state

parks — which embraces Jedediah Smith and two other parks further south, Del Norte and Prairie Creek — have been jointly operated under a cooperative management plan since 1994.

Headquarters are in downtown Crescent City, a town of about 7,500 people 18 miles south of the Oregon state line.

No one, it seems, can talk about Crescent City without a long mention of the series of Good Friday tsunamis that swept over the town on March 27-28, 1964.

Touched off by a major earthquake in Alaska, the quartet of tidal waves inundated the community and reduced 56 square blocks to rubble. Beachfront businesses suffered most, but the entire downtown area was destroyed, along with 289 homes and businesses. Remarkably, despite this being the worst tsunami disaster on the West Coast in recorded history, the death toll was only 11 people.

But Crescent City has never been the same since. The entire town was rebuilt, of course, and the great number of buildings dating from the late 1960s and 1970s is in sharp contrast to other California coastal communities, where 19th-century structures are not uncommon.

A two-block-wide greensward along the north and west sides of Crescent Harbor has been turned into a broad park with playgrounds and paths for walking and bicycling. The Northcoast Marine Mammal Center, a rescue and rehabilitation facility for stranded seals and sea lions, is now located here.

Facing Front Street, and a half-block from the national park headquarters, is the Crescent City/Del Norte County Visitor Center, a good source of information for new arrivals.

The Del Norte County Historical Society Museum is several blocks distant, at Sixth and

H streets, in a 1926 building that did survive the great wave.

Open weekdays from May to September, it has worthy exhibits on Native American culture and 19th-century shipwrecks, but most visitors come to see photographs of the tsunami damage.

Battery Point Lighthouse has been a Crescent City landmark since 1856. High on a rock at the head of the harbor, its keepers watched in abject horror during the 1964 tsunami as the waves crashed past their refuge and upon the adjacent city. Today the building is a seasonal

museum (April to October, tides permitting) with numerous historical displays and a continually operating light in its tower, to which visitors are welcome to climb.

Crescent City has a small but pleasant harbor area with several good seafood restaurants around its piers. Sea lions often roost on the jetties. A small aquarium and gift shop, Ocean World, is just off U.S. Highway 101 near Anchor Way, the main road into the harbor. The town’s best hotels are also along this stretch of the highway.

Down the coast Immediately south of the Crescent City, U.S. Highway 101 enters a 40-mile stretch of continual bigtree landscape. As local tourism authorities trumpet, this is “where the redwoods meet the sea.”

Whale watchers often make a roost on an overlook on Enderts Beach Road. The bluff here offers a memorable view north along the Crescent Beach strand toward Crescent City itself.

A popular tourist stop, 16 miles south of Crescent City, is Trees of Mystery. Schlocky statues of Paul Bunyan (“nearly five stories tall!”) and Babe the Blue Ox stand out-

side this roadside attraction, but they shouldn’t deter you from taking a look inside.

A new six-passenger gondola carries visitors through the forest to a trailhead; paths that return to the terminal lead past lofty trees and fanciful carvings. The End of the Trail Museum has an outstanding collection of Native American art from all over North America.

A short detour at Requa, just north of the Yurok Indian Reservation village of Klamath, leads to an overlook with a bird’s-eye view of the mouth of the Klamath River, its source in Oregon. Sea lions often sun themselves on the broad sand bar easily visible here.

Across the Klamath River, look

for a turnoff from U.S. Highway 101 onto the nine-mile Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway. This is the best route for discovering Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Pause anywhere en route, but don’t miss the Big Tree Wayside, with a series of loop trails that afford great forest-viewing opportunities and continue down small streams directly to the Pacific coastline.

Between Prairie Creek and the small service town of Orick, I stayed a night in a cabin at Elk Meadow. The name is not falsely advertised. When I awoke soon after dawn, a morning mist rising from the dew of the surrounding glen, two herds of elk were contesting grazing rights. A couple of

young bulls, each believing itself stronger than the other, locked horns; there was no apparent winner.

I love every rival elk herd, every forested grove and every fernenveloped glade of the redwood country. Stout Grove is my personal favorite, but there are many other special places that might touch some visitors the way that Stout touches me.

But I encourage every traveler not to fall too much in love with mountain or sea scapes until they’ve had a chance to hug a giant coastal redwood.

Cupcakes are whimsical, easy to serve and may be more cost-effective than the traditional multitiered wedding cake. They can also reflect the bridal couple’s personalities and tastes — which is why they’re so popular. “Each tier (of a cupcake stand) offers you the opportunity to completely change the cake and the icing. You can’t do that with a traditional cake,� said Bobbie Lloyd, president and chief baking officer of New York-based Magnolia Bakery. “With cupcakes, (couples are) looking more for flavor. You may have one layer of pumpkin cupcakes with maple-cream cheese icing. Another layer could be coconut cake with meringue icing,� she said, noting Magnolia’s cupcake trees hold 24 cupcakes up to more than 100 cupcakes. “On a wedding cake, people traditionally use a butter cream frosting that has some

structure to it or they use fondant because they’re looking for those three-dimensional shapes,� she said. “A meringue icing you could never put on traditional wedding cake.

Cream cheese icing you could never put on a traditional wedding cake.�

As with anything you eat, but especially a cupcake, it needs to taste delicious (not just be sweet) and really special, said Darcy Miller, editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings. “What’s going to go with your color palette and the feeling of your wedding? What’s going to go with the time of the year you’re getting married? What’s going to go with your guests or your menu?� she said. “Often today at weddings, people serve more than cake.

They’ll serve chocolate mousse or sorbet. So I’m not really sure if you’re serving chocolate mousse whether your cupcakes should be chocolate.�

Also think about how they’ll

C8 Sunday, February 6, 2011 • THE BULLETIN “Where the Crooked River Rises: A High Desert Home” by Ellen Waterston

Waterston Continued from C1 Published by Oregon State University Press in late October, the book collects essays inspired by Waterston’s life in Central Oregon’s High Desert, including her 20 years ranching north of Brothers.

The pieces were written over a five-year span and appeared in a variety of journals and anthologies, including High Desert Journal, Connotations and Oregon Quarterly, Waterston says.

Waterston’s essays vary in tone and subject matter.

Two of her personal favorites: “The Old Hackleman Place: An Obituary,” about the ranch where she used to live, and “The Church of the High Desert,” about finding the holy among the lava rock and sagebrush.

After Waterston’s reading, Second Sunday will include readings by Rising Star winners and participants of the Storefront Project.

“I’m sort of like the opening band, and then they’ll follow,” Waterston says.

An open mic portion will follow those proceedings.

Second Sunday is free and open to the public.

In other news, Waterston says she’s been awarded a spring 2011 residency at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, and has received a fellowship that includes reading at the Summer Fishtrap Gathering & Workshops in Eastern Oregon.

Other books by Waterston include the award-winning poetry collections “I Am Madagascar” and “Between Desert Seasons,” as well as the memoir “Then There Was No Mountain,” published in 2003.

Chicken vanishes; heartbreak ensues Thef t of Gertrude turns New York neighborhood into small-town USA

By Elizabeth Giddens

E S S AY

New York Times News Service

NEW YORK — The chickens of New York City, for the most part, live fairly sheltered lives, securely tucked into private backyards and padlocked community gardens. Our chickens, by contrast, are public figures — their yard faces 20 feet of busy Bedford-Stuyvesant sidewalk. The chickens themselves chose this bustling thoroughfare, decamping there even when they could have settled in our spacious, semiprivate back garden. They wanted to see and be seen — like so many New York transplants, they seemed to feed on the energy of the street.

The admirers came in droves.

The neighborhood immortalized by Biggie Smalls and Billy Joel has undergone widespread gentrification, and between the trend-conscious newcomers from suburbia and the nostalgic migrants from the Caribbean and rural South, there’s an awful lot of chicken love in BedStuy these days.

And what’s not to love?

There’s something intrinsically happy about a chicken.

The name: a little hiccup in the mouth. The shape: a jaunty upswing of feathers, a grin. The ceaseless bobbing, scratching, pecking. It’s nearly impossible to feel melancholy in the company of chickens. They are a balm for the weary urban soul.

Chicken mascots The spirit of the chicken regularly infects the sidewalk parade down Franklin Avenue.

People break out in chicken dances. They cluck. They coo.

They cock-a-doodle-doo. (One toddler ventured a tentative “oink, oink” before her mother gently corrected her.) Chickens make people loose, and they make them gregarious. In fair weather, scarcely an hour passes without a motley assortment of gawkers at our gate — dogwalkers, corner guys, stroller pushers — eager to inform, or

misinform, one another on the finer points of chickendom.

We’ve considered posting an FAQ sheet — yes, they’re hens; no, they don’t need a rooster to make eggs — but that would spoil the fun. People like working it out among themselves.

In a neighborhood fraught with the tensions of gentrification, making people talk to one another, and talk about something other than themselves, is not an insignificant accomplishment. What I’m saying is that these chickens are important in a way that chickens aren’t usually important. They are BedStuy’s very own peace doves.

Imagine our dismay last June, then, when Gertrude, a Rhode Island Red and our prize layer, was stolen.

The chicken yard was a classic crime scene: Coop open.

Hatch lying on the ground.

T-Rex, Gertrude’s long-suffering subordinate, standing dumbfounded.

After much deliberation, we called the police, so we’d at least be alerted if her corpse turned up within their purview.

They came, laughed, snapped pictures of T-Rex with their cell phones, and texted them to friends.

We decided to appeal to Gertrude’s public. We posted a big sign on the gate, letting people know what had happened, and pleading for her return, no questions asked.

As with any theft, the worst part is the blow it deals to one’s faith in humanity. The chickens were in danger of being demoted from goodwill ambassadors to harbingers of doom, canaries in the neighborhood coal mine.

Damon Winter / New York Times News Service

Gertrude, a Rhode Island Red, was returned to her home about a week after being stolen. She was unharmed.

The sidewalk confabs reached fever pitch. People were devastated.

Everyone had a theory. Gertrude’s theft became a blank slate onto which people projected their assumptions about the neighborhood, the city and humankind. Not all the theories reflected well on their proponents — there was a raft of confused ideas about the cultural practices of Caribbeans, and the dietary predilections of crack addicts.

Sidewalk symposiums are one of the great pleasures of urban living, and New Yorkers are masters of the art, ready to hold forth on the most abstract or esoteric musings without so much as a how-de-do. Where I come from, you’d be obliged to at least mention the weather, if not disclose your actual name and provenance, before delving into something so intimate.

Was it hunger? Religion?

Envy?

No information was forthcoming. Either no one knew or no one was talking. But one of the corner guys promised to “put the word out” and, if he

found out who did it, to “put the hurt on him.” Which was comforting. Kind of.

Return of the hen About a week after Gertrude’s disappearance, after we’d all but given up hope, a young man stood at the gate and shouted that he had “information about the chicken.” We went downstairs, opened the front door, and whom should we find but our beloved Gertrude, very much alive and full of her signature elan, tucked under the young man’s arm.

He was in his late 20s, remarkably handsome and stylishly dressed. He sheepishly related a story of a drunken dare that led a friend of his to steal the chicken, for the promise of $100.

Maybe there was a friend. Or maybe there wasn’t. Either way, the young man said he felt compelled to return Gertrude when he saw how much the neighborhood missed her. He apologized at least 15 times. And we forgave him — we were so surprised and delighted by Gertrude’s improbable return that we hugged him warmly and thanked him pro-

fusely. Then he went on his way, apologizing again and again over his shoulder, and we never saw him again.

We put up a new sign to explain Gertrude’s sudden reappearance, and, in our jubilation, we allowed ourselves some license with the truth: “We’re not sure where she’s been, but now she speaks Russian, has a few tattoos, and insists that we call her Kiki.”

Her return rocked the neighborhood. Crowds gathered outside the gate to marvel at her resurrection. More than two dozen people wrote their congratulations on the new sign — surely one of the only comment boards in the city that didn’t garner a single negative remark, or even a vulgar one. They wrote in Spanish, in Twi (a Ghanaian language) and, of course, in Russian, in honor of Kiki. They signed “D’s Daycare,” “the Italian guys from Monroe,” “Puerto Rican from Monroe,” “Ladies of 439 Franklin,” “House of Channy” and “Snake.” Among a profusion of exclamation points, smiley faces and hearts, the good citizens of Bedford-Stuyvesant saluted the Lazarus chicken: Holla! 2 good 2 be 4 gotten. Awesome! Peace.

Bend skier posts career-best finish in World Cup Super-G

Packers, Steelers offer mystique, tradition

HINTERSTODER, Austria — Bend skier Tommy Ford charged from the 65th starting position to finish in a careerbest 11th place Saturday in the FIS Alpine World Cup Super-G. Ford was the No. 2 American finisher with Tommy Ford a time of 1 minute, 45.28 seconds over a turn-laden course.

Five-time Olympic medalist Bode Miller was the leading American, placing third overall in 1:44.84.

Austrians Hannes Reichelt (1:43.91) and Benjamin Raich (1:44.25) were the top two finishers.

Ted Ligety (1:46.41) was the No. 3 American, 21st overall.

Ford, 21, said the conditions were right for him to make a run at a high finish.

“The snow was really hard and grippy, so I knew I had the opportunity to move up,” he said. “The key was to push in the right areas. This is incredible motivation to go hard in tomorrow’s giant slalom.”

“Tommy Ford showed he’s one of the best young technical skiers in the world,” said U.S. Ski Team men’s head coach Sasha Rearick. “When he ran it was very dark and bumpy.”

A strong performance today in the giant slalom could help Ford secure a start at the 2011 Alpine World Ski Championships, which begin Tuesday in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

Green Bay, Pittsburgh bring blue-collar roots to Super Bowl in Dallas

Both the Packers and the Steelers have 16 homegrown starters.

Each has a dynamic defense led by the top two vote-getters for Defensive Player of the Year, Steelers safety Troy Polamalu and Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, the runner-up. Both have playmaking quarterbacks who have risen to elite status — although in entirely different manners. Just as the two teams went about getting to the Super Bowl in opposite ways: Pittsburgh as a division winner and second seed that won two home games, the Packers as a wild-card that hit the road for three victories over division champs.

BARCELONA, Spain — Belgian runner Stefaan Engels set a Guinness World Record after crossing the finish line of his 365th consecutive marathon on Saturday.

Engels, dubbed the “Marathon Man,” began the extreme physical challenge a year ago in Barcelona. He competed a race a day in seven countries: Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Canada, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. Engels told The Associated Press that he did it as a personal challenge and to be an example for others.

“After running 20 triathlons in one year, I was not ready to go back to normal life,” he said. “I also wanted to inspire people by showing that if I could run a marathon a day for an entire year, that anyone could run or bike a little each day or do something about their weight problem.”

The 49-year-old Engels ran a total of 9,569 miles. He said the key was a slow pace over the 26.2-miles.

“I recovery quickly. I don’t run fast and my heartbeat is slow, below 100 if I run 10 kilometers, but it is more a mental story,” he said. “The problem was thinking about running a marathon every day. I just told myself to run that day and did not think about the next day or next week.”

Engels averaged around 4 hours to complete a marathon.

He said his best time was 2 hours and 56 minutes.

• Vick wins Comeback Player award: Michael Vick has won The Associated Press 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. After missing two seasons serving a federal sentence for dogfighting, then spending most of the previous year as a seldom-used backup in Philadelphia, Vick was back at his best. Taking over as starter in Week 2 after Kevin Kolb sustained a concussion, Vick ran and passed the Eagles to the NFC East title and a 10-6 record.

BOSTON — San Jose captain Joe Thornton wasn’t alarmed by the Sharks’ season-low shot output.

The 18 shots the Sharks had against Boston were plenty as San Jose kept rolling with a 2-0 win over the Bruins on Saturday.

Rookie Logan Couture scored a power-play goal 7:22 in and Devin Setoguchi added an empty-netter with 2.1 seconds remaining to provide all the offense the Sharks needed.

“Some nights we get 45 (shots),” Thornton said. “For whatever reason, they played well, kept us on the outside. I think we were in the penalty box a little more than we should have. Good win.”

Antti Niemi earned his third shutout of the season with 26 saves. He got help from his defenders, who rescued wild rebounds before the Bruins could capitalize. Niemi hasn’t lost in regulation in eight starts.

Ryane Clowe and Marc-Edouard Vlasic assisted on both goals for San Jose, which has won seven of eight and is moving up the Western Conference playoff standings.

“It is going to be tight right down

NHL ROUNDUP to Game 82,” Thornton said. “We have been playing well lately and we have to continue it to get into the playoffs.”

Tim Thomas had 16 saves for the Bruins, who had won three straight.

The only shot Thomas didn’t get to was Couture’s backhand.

Ducks hand No. 20 Huskies Cougars win on the third straight loss on road road against Beavers OSU MEN’S BASKETBALL

The Associated Press EUGENE — It was a forgettable road trip through the Pacific Northwest this week for No. 20 Washington.

First came a loss at Washington State on Sunday, then another loss on Thursday at Oregon State knocked the Huskies out of the top spot in the Pac-10. On Saturday, it was Oregon’s turn.

Joevan Catron had 20 points and nine rebounds, E.J. Singler hit four free throws in the final 25.7 seconds, and the Ducks handed the Huskies an 81-76 defeat.

“Our guys are frustrated, no doubt,” Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. “We had high aspirations in our minds, hopefully to win the league outright. I don’t know if that’s going to be able to happen at this point.”

Singler finished with 16 points for the Ducks (12-11, 5-6 Pac-10), including his key free throws after the Huskies twice cut Oregon’s lead to two points.

Tyrone Nared finished with 14 points and Jay-R Strowbridge added 12.

Matt Bryan-Amaning scored 21 to lead Washington (15-7, 74), Justin Holiday finished with 16 points, Isaiah Thomas had 13 points and Terrence Ross scored 12. Holiday and Ross each had four 3-pointers, but got little help from the rest of the crew.

“All I can say is, we were 5-2 in 2006 and we lost three road games in row,” Romar said, cautioning fans and players alike not to be alarmed. “Everyone else panicked, but we didn’t, and we ended up finishing second in the Pac-10 and going to the Sweet 16.”

While the Huskies are faltering, the Ducks are heading in the other direction.

They’ve won five of their last seven games under first-year coach Dana Altman to move above .500 for the first time since Dec. 30. Included in that streak are wins against Oregon State in Corvallis, their first win at Stanford in 25 years, and now their first upset of a ranked team since beating the Huskies

Washington’s Darnell Gant (44) and Terrence Ross trap Oregon forward Joevan Catron during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game in Eugene on Saturday. The Ducks defeated the No. 20 Huskies 81-76. in Seattle on Jan. 2, 2010.

“They are more confident in themselves,” Altman said. “We are executing better. … I like that they trust each other to make plays.”

The Ducks led 37-34 at halftime and increased their advantage to 62-52 following a layup

by Catron with 7:57 to play, capping a 13-2 run that seemingly put the game in control.

Washington managed to cut the deficit to 70-68 on a 3

by Ross with about four min-

utes remaining, and a layup

by Thomas with 40 seconds left made it 76-74. But Singler answered with free throws to push the Ducks’ lead back to four, and after Venoy Overton scored again on a layup with 19 seconds left, Singler again made two free throws with 15.8 seconds to play.

Nared added another free throw with 7 seconds left for Oregon. “Every win builds confidence and tonight was great,” said Catron, who was eight for

MEN’S TOP 25 ROUNDUP

Morningstar’s accuracy helps lift No. 2 Kansas over Nebraska The Associated Press LINCOLN, Neb. — Brady Morningstar’s shooting touch is back, and the timing couldn’t be better for second-ranked Kansas.

Morningstar scored a seasonhigh 19 points and made five of the Jayhawks’ season-best 13 3pointers in an 86-66 victory over Nebraska on Saturday.

The fifth-year senior’s best performance came on a day Josh Selby, KU’s most accurate 3point shooter, had to sit out with an injured right foot and two days before the Jayhawks host No. 14 Missouri.

“Brady hasn’t made shots until the last couple games, but he was fabulous tonight,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “Not having Josh, we needed someone to step up and be a threat.”

Morningstar wasn’t the only one. Markieff Morris made a career-high three 3s and Tyrel Reed added three more as the Jayhawks beat Nebraska for the 17th time in a row and handed the Cornhuskers their first loss in 15 home games.

Morris had 17 points, Marcus Morris added 16 and Reed 14 for Kansas (22-1, 7-1 Big 12).

Morningstar shot 24 percent on 3s through 19 games, but he broke out of his slump with a four-forseven outing against Colorado on Jan. 25. He’s now 11 for his last 18 (61 percent) after going five of seven against the Huskers.

“I missed so many, but once I start making a few, they’ll come in bunches,” Morningstar said.

“It feels good. I’m not jolly about myself because I’m supposed to knock down shots. I guess you could say I’m just back to normal.”

Brandon Richardson scored 16 points, Toney McCray had 11 and Caleb Walker and Lance Jeter 10 apiece for the Huskers (15-7, 3-5).

“We played our hearts out, and I thought we played good defense,” said Jeter, who had a season-high 10 assists. “They just could not miss.”

Also on Saturday: No. 3 Texas. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 76 Texas Tech . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 AUSTIN, Texas — Jordan Hamilton and Gary Johnson each scored 16 points and Texas remained unbeaten in the Big 12.

The performance wasn’t all bad for the Huskies, who shot 52 percent overall and 41 percent on 3-pointers, making 11 of 27.

But they also turned it over 15 times, leading to 26 points.

“Our guys should feel good.

They passed a big test today,” Altman said. “But again, we’re nowhere near where we can get to. We’ve got to keep working.”

Also on Saturday: No. 21 Arizona . . . . . . . . . . . . .107 California . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .105 BERKELEY, Calif. — Lamont Jones hit a go-ahead lay-in with 1:03 left in the third overtime and also had a tying 3-pointer with 5 seconds to go in the second OT and the tying threepoint play late in regulation, sending Arizona to a thrilling victory against California.

UCLA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .66 St. John’s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .59 LOS ANGELES — Joshua Smith scored 19 points off the bench and Reeves Nelson grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds to lead UCLA’s inside game in a messy victory over St. John’s and former Bruins coach Steve Lavin. It was Lavin’s first visit to Pauley Pavilion as an opposing coach, coming nearly eight years after he was fired.

The Associated Press CORVALLIS — Klay Thompson was having an off-night on Saturday, but his Washington State teammates were there to fill in the gaps.

Reggie Moore had 14 points and DeAngelo Casto added 11 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Cougars to a 61-55 win against Oregon State.

The Pac-10 scoring leader had his second straight sub-par shooting performance, going two for seven for six points and fouled out with 1:57 remaining and the game still up for grabs. He was four of 13 on Thursday in a loss at Oregon.

“It shows the dimensions of our team,” said Casto, who had seven of his 11 points in the second half. “It shows he’s not Superman, he’s human. He’s going to have off-games. You can’t just have one guy who does everything all the time.”

Thompson, who averages almost 22 points, has scored 20 or more points 13 times this season and led Washington State (16-7, 6-5 Pac-10) in scoring 15 times.

On Saturday, he scored all of his points in the first half, when the Cougars went ahead to stay.

Thompson added five assists, two blocks and two steals.

“It was definitely a team effort. It’s good to see some other guys step up and do some good things,” Washington State coach Ken Bone said. “We needed everybody to contribute in any way they could. We talked about that before the game. Every single guy that gets out there, they’ve got to compete.”

The Cougars also got 10 points and seven rebounds from Faisal Aden off the bench.

Devon Collier had a careerhigh 16 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for Oregon State (9-13, 4-7), which cut into an 11-point second-half deficit but could get no closer than two in the final moments.

The Beavers cut a 10-point second-half deficit to two, but Washington State steadily built its edge back to 10, going ahead 41-31 on Casto’s conventional

Collier’s lay-in got Oregon State within 45-41 before Moore and Marcus Capers each had three-point plays to increase the Cougars’ margin again.

Calvin Haynes’ two free throws with 47 seconds left made it 56-53 Washington State. Moore made one of two free throws for the Cougars, then Oregon State got within 57-55 with 20 seconds left on Roberto Nelson’s basket. Faisal Aden made four free throws for Washington State to close the scoring.

Washington State used an 18-1 first-half run to overcome Oregon State’s only lead of the game at 11-10. Abe Lodwick’s 3-pointer with 6:06 left in the half put the Cougars ahead 28-10.

Oregon State was held scoreless for seven minutes and without a field goal for eight minutes.

But the Beavers climbed back into it, scoring eight straight to cut the deficit to 31-23 and then to 32-27 at halftime.

“We’ve not been a very strong rebounding team. That was huge for us tonight,” Bone said.

Boys

Continued from D1 Through it all, there’s that history of success that bonds the Rooney family-owned Steelers and the community-owned Packers.

“Coach (Mike) Tomlin uses the term with his players,” Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson says of the Steelers coach. “He says, ‘The standard is the standard.’

“Quite frankly, that philosophy seems to fit pretty good with us, too.”

Yes, there’s the Steelers Way and the Packers Way. Through the Lambeau, Lombardi and Holmgren years in Green Bay, the Noll, Cowher and Tomlin years in Pittsburgh, the common thread has been sticking to your roots no matter how bumpy the journey.

“I think the idea of having the right people in place and finding and keeping good people, that’s something that goes back to my grandfather and my father,” says Steelers President Art Rooney II. “As they said, keeping it simple and keeping the right people in place, that’s the key.”

The players recognize how different these two franchises are from the other 30 teams.

It might sound corny when they say “Once a Steeler (or Packer), always a Steeler (or Packer).”

Yet it rings true for them, and that doesn’t simply stem from success on the field. It goes beyond that.

“I think the first thing you look at is there’s no owner, so a lot of the fans consider themselves owners and personally invested,” says Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who’s had a spectacular postseason. “A lot of them are personally invested in the team. It’s a college-like atmosphere in Green Bay. Everywhere you go you see green and gold, it’s a first-name basis, and there’s just a special connection that’s always been there between the players and the fans.”

Of course, there are no other pro teams in Green Bay. Even though there are two in Pittsburgh, the Penguins and Pirates, the Steel City’s true love affair is with the Steelers.

“It’s awesome,” says quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who tested that relationship more than any player when he was accused in March of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old college student — the second time since 2008 he faced assault allegations. Georgia authorities declined to bring charges, but he was suspended for four games at the start of this season for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

“I don’t want to say we’re used to it because we don’t want to take it for granted, but everywhere we go there are Steelers fans and they’re awesome.

That’s why I will sit here and say

Marathon Continued from D1 “He ran every race, he never walked. He ran at a rate of 10 kilometers per hour,” said Angels Garriga, the spokeswoman of Engels sponsor, the diet-control company Pronokal.

Engels had asthma as a youngster and doctors told him he should not participate in sports. But he decided to overcome his ailment and ran his first marathon at 25. He said

Sanders, Faulk make Hall of Fame DALLAS — Deion Sanders always was Prime Time. Now he’s All Time.

Sanders and Marshall Faulk led a class of seven voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Joining them were Shannon Sharpe, Richard Dent, Ed Sabol, Les Richter and Chris Hanburger.

As talkative as he was talented, known as much for his celebration dances as his interceptions and kick returns, Sanders was an outstanding cornerback and sometime wide receiver with five teams. He’s a two-time Super Bowl winner and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 1994.

“I’m excited. These guys — are you kidding me? It’s hard to describe,” Sanders said. “To be held up in high regard, to this standard ... I am honored.”

Sanders also played major league baseball. But football was his calling.

“He was an electrifying performer who put fans on the edge of their seats every time he manned his cornerback position or dropped back to receive a kickoff or field a punt,” Falcons owner Arthur Blank said. “Deion is, without question, one of the greatest players in the history of the NFL.” Faulk won a Super Bowl with the 1999 Rams, was the 1994 Offensive Rookie of the Year, 2000 NFL MVP and a three-time Offensive Player of the Year (1999-2001). Faulk is the 10th leading career rusher with 12,279 yards, and for a half-dozen seasons was the most versatile back in football, as much a threat as a receiver as a runner.

“I wanted the ball in my hands so I could do something with it,” Faulk said, recalling how he briefly played quarterback in high school and didn’t find it exciting enough.

Sharpe starred for Denver and Baltimore for 14 seasons and won three Super Bowls in a four-year span, two with Denver, one with Baltimore. He held league records for a tight end in receptions, yards and touchdowns when he retired in 2001.

“If I had a thousand tongues, I couldn’t say how happy and proud I am,” Sharpe said. “I don’t know what I did to deserve this.

Bears defensive end Dent was the MVP of the 1986 Super Bowl and finished with 137½ career sacks. He was the top pass rusher on one of the NFL’s greatest defensive units. Dent became a starter in 1984, beginning a 10-year period in which he made 10 or more sacks in eight of 10 seasons.

Richter played linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams from 1954-62. They traded 11 players for him and waited two years while he was in the military before he suited up. He made the wait worthwhile, going to eight straight Pro Bowls. He also was a center and kicker. Richter died last June.

Hanburger spent all 14 pro seasons with the Redskins and played in nine Pro Bowls. He played from 1965-78 and was called “The Hangman.” He was known for using clothesline tackles that eventually were outlawed.

Sabol founded NFL Films and was selected as a contributor.

The finalists who did not get in were Curtis Martin, Dermontti Dawson, Cortez Kennedy, Andre Reed and Willie Roaf.

Induction ceremonies are Aug. 6 in Canton, Ohio.

until the day I die that I feel that Steelers fans are the best fans in all of sports, bar none. I know we’ve got a team whose fans are going to want to argue that because Packers fans are great, too, so that’s why I think this is the awesome matchup. You’ve got two really good football teams, you’ve got two great fan bases and you’ve got two storied franchises. From top to bottom I think this is an awesome matchup for the league.”

A matchup that could come down to which offense can impose a bit of superiority over an immovable defense.

No one has run efficiently on the Steelers, and Green Bay’s running game ranked 24th this season; it’s improved behind rookie James Starks in the playoffs, but hasn’t faced a defense like this.

Pittsburgh’s Rashard Mendenhall starred in the AFC championship victory over the Jets, rushing for 121 yards. The Packers, though, aren’t likely to forget how to tackle the way

New York did.

Both sides have excellent receivers, including deep threats in Green Bay’s Greg Jennings and Pittsburgh’s Mike Wallace, and wise veterans in the Packers’ Donald Driver and the Steelers’ Hines Ward.

But the secondaries are strong, led by Polamalu — “you have to know where he is on every play,” Rodgers says — and Green Bay’s Charles Woodson.

If it comes down to the quarterbacks, each team will be fine with that. Rodgers has been unstoppable in the last five games, all must wins. Roethlisberger would join Tom Brady and Troy Aikman with three Super Bowl rings, and he’s only in his seventh pro season.

Regardless, the wintry weather — snow fell Friday for the second time during Super Bowl week — made both teams feel at home. As well they should, given their championship pedigree.

“Two great teams, two great franchises,” Polamalu said.

“Can’t wait to play.”

his latest feat is the result of 35 years of exercise.

“There were a lot of moments when I thought ‘Today, I won’t finish,’” he said. “One of the hardest moments was in Mexico City after a long flight, the altitude and I had gotten sick from eating something, and I thought ‘What am I doing here?’”

This was Engels’ second attempt at the feat. He injured his leg 18 days into the first try about a year ago and had to wait until he recovered to start over.

The previous record was held

by Japanese runner Akinori Kusuda, who ran 52 consecutive marathons at age 65 in 2009.

Engels adds another entry into the Guinness Book of World Records. His 20 Iron Man triathlons in a single year earned the record in 2008.

As for what is next, Engels said he will focus on writing a book, coaching and giving lectures.

“It is time for other things,” he said. “It is time to give my body a rest.”

behind a depleted offensive line that still has been steady — it desperately needs standout rookie C Maurkice Pouncey (53) to recover from a left ankle sprain and be in the lineup — the Steelers will keep pounding. But there’s vulnerability in their blocking unit, particularly declining RT Flozell Adams (71), and the Packers have been getting production from NT B.J. Raji (90) and DE Cullen Jenkins (77) in all areas. Raji even had a pick for a touchdown against the Bears.

If Pittsburgh (14-4) isn’t effective with the run early on, it will keep trying. But there are excellent options in the passing game, which will need to deal with a fair share of blitzing.

QB Ben Roethlisberger (7) has won two Super Bowls in his seven pro seasons. Despite a four-game suspension at the outset of this season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy, he guided the Steelers to the NFC North title, a first-round bye, then to a comeback

victory over divisional rival Baltimore in the playoffs. Roethlisberger hurt the Jets more with his feet than his arm, yet the Packers are very aware how dangerous he can be as a passer.

His targets, from longtime team leader Hines Ward (86) to speedy Mike Wallace (17) to solid tight end Heath Miller (83) to rising wideouts Antonio Brown (84) and Emmanuel Sanders (88), are formidable. Wallace is the game-breaker and will see lots of Williams or Woodson in coverage. Ward might operate a lot in the slot, which could make him Shields’ responsibility.

Roethlisberger has rising confidence in the youngsters, and Ward and Miller provide comfort zones for him.

Two things the Packers must do if they get pressure on Roethlisberger: keep him from escaping for damaging scrambles, and bring him down when they get their hands on him. Both proved too difficult for the Jets.

Master motivator Mike Tomlin had to deal with the suspension of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to start the season and went 3-1 during his absence.

A win here would give him two titles in his first four seasons as head coach.

DEFENSE

YEAR

Pittsburgh wants to do exactly what it achieved in the first half of the AFC championship game: ram the ball down an opponent’s throat. Actually, RB Rashard Mendenhall (34) showed plenty of speed and some moves, too, against the Jets, and that’s what the Steelers need to see against Green Bay’s 18th-ranked rushing defense.

Of course, the Packers’ defense isn’t likely to consistently miss tackles and be out of position the way the Jets were for 30 decisive minutes. LBs Clay Matthews (52), A.J. Hawk (50) and Desmond Bishop (55) are major reasons Green Bay (13-6) has been stingy against the run in the playoffs, and defensive backs Charles Woodson (21), Tramon Williams (38), and Nick Collins (36) are solid in support. They also excel in pass coverage, along with nickel back Sam Shields (37), a rookie who had two interceptions in the NFC title game.

If Mendenhall can find room to roam

WHEN THE PACKERS HAVE THE BALL Until RB James Starks (44) emerged in the playoffs, the Packers had virtually no running game. Starks, Brandon Jackson (32) and John Kuhn (30) aren’t likely to get far against the league’s top-rated run defense, but the Packers certainly should try to find a ground game.

Green Bay’s offensive line doesn’t get deserved credit. Anchored by RG Josh Sitton (71) and C Scott Wells (63), it’s far more suited for pass protection, but has opened enough holes for Starks to break out, and for the other running backs to contribute. They haven’t faced a defense like this in the playoffs, though, and Pittsburgh will try to set an early, physical —some say over-the-top dirty — tone

36.1%

with LBs James Harrison (92), LaMarr Woodley (56) and James Farrior (51), AllPro S Troy Polamalu (43), and DE Brett Keisel (99).

The Steelers will send defenders from everywhere at QB Aaron Rodgers (12); CB Ike Taylor (24) made a huge hit on Mark Sanchez that caused a fumble leading to the winning points against the Jets.

Rodgers has been spectacular for more than a month now after a strong regular season, and he uses his legs nearly as well as Roethlisberger — not as powerful, but quicker.

Without question, though, Green Bay will need to pass successfully to win its first Super Bowl since the 1996 season.

The Packers like to empty their backfield, a dangerous ploy against Pittsburgh’s front seven and blitzers. But they can get some good matchups in those situations, whether it’s WRs Greg Jennings (85) on Taylor or Donald Driver on Bryant McFadden (20). Driver excels over the middle, but that’s where Polamalu and Ryan Clark (25) lurk, and there aren’t two more punishing safeties around.

Rodgers has gotten a lot of mileage out of James Jones (89) and Jordy Nelson (87) and both will have key roles at Dallas Cowboys Stadium. If Rodgers can spread the ball around and keep the Steelers’ pass rush off-balance, Green Bay has an excellent chance.

SPECIAL TEAMS

COACHING

Steelers PK Shaun Suisham (6), who replaced veteran Jeff Reed in midseason, has been superb, making 16 of 18 field goals; Pittsburgh is a difficult place to kick.

So is Lambeau Field, though, and Mason Crosby (2) has made 24 of 31, including a 56-yarder. Neither has kicked under the glaring spotlight of a Super Bowl.

The rest of the Steelers’ special teams are adequate. Brown had one kickoff runback for a score during the season. P Jeremy Kapinos (13) doesn’t always get great coverage accompanying his kicks.

First-year punter Tim Masthay (8) for Green Bay has been efficient if not spectacular. He had an excellent NFC title game, keeping the ball away from All-Pro returner Devin Hester.

Green Bay gave up more yards than it gained per punt and kickoff this season.

A Pittsburgh victory would give Mike Tomlin two titles in his first four seasons as head coach, tying Joe Gibbs’ achievement with Washington. Tomlin, only the third Steelers coach since 1969, is a master motivator who also gives his coordinators — Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau on defense, Bruce Arians on offense — lots of say.

Tomlin needed to guide the Steelers through some early difficulties and did so masterfully. Roethlisberger’s four-game suspension could have put the team in a deep hole. Instead, with a trio of replacements at quarterback, Pittsburgh started 3-1.

The Steelers lost key DE Aaron Smith (91) for a big chunk of the season. In 2009, that sent them into a spiral. Not this time.

Tomlin also got the team back on track in the divisional playoff game against Baltimore after it fell behind 21-7 at halftime.

Mike McCarthy might have had an even tougher chore because the Packers placed 15 players on injured reserve this season, an absurd number. That included starting RB Ryan Grant, playmaking TE Jermichael Finley and LB Nick Barnett.

Thanks to the depth the Pack built at so many positions, though, they not only survived, but prospered. Still, McCarthy and his staff, particularly defensive coordinator Dom Capers, deserve tremendous credit for rapidly developing backups and having faith in them.

McCarthy also has a strong relationship with Rodgers that has been critical in the QB’s development since the Brett Favre purge in 2008.

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Blazers add to Cavs’ record losing streak The Associated Press CLEVELAND — The losing streak has been long, painful and embarrassing.

Now it’s historic.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have the NBA’s record for futility all to themselves.

Cleveland’s losing streak reached 24 games on Saturday night as Wesley Matthews scored 31 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 20 to lead the Portland Trail Blazers to a 111-105 win over the pitiful Cavs, who are yet to win in 2011 and have lost a mind-boggling 34 of 35.

With just one win since Nov. 27, the Cavaliers now own the league’s single-season mark for consecutive losses and have matched the record for overall losses in a row they previously set over 1981-82 and 1982-83.

“It feels like a bad dream,” said guard Daniel Gibson.

And it’s not over.

Cleveland nearly overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but once again failed to make plays down the stretch and fell to 8-42 — an almost unimaginable record for a team that won more than 60 games the past two seasons and went deep in the playoffs.

But that was with LeBron James.

Without him, the Cavs are shells of their former selves.

“We have to figure out how to win these games,” said Gibson, who scored 12 with nine assists. “We just have to keep trying until we do. It’s not a matter of if, but when. We have to continue to play the way we’re playing and things are going to change for us.”

When?

“The next game, hopefully,” he said. “That’s the way you have to approach it.”

Antawn Jamison scored 17 and Ramon Sesions 15 points to pace the Cavs, who will try to end their skid on Monday in Dallas. After that, they’ll host Detroit, the Los Angeles Clippers and Washington — all three are under .500 and the Wizards are the league’s only winless road team.

For much of the night, it appeared the Cavaliers might finally end a slide that began with a Dec. 20 loss to Utah and shows no signs of ending.

Cleveland led early in the fourth quarter, but Rudy Fernandez hit a 3-pointer and the Blazers went on a 15-4 run to open a 105-95 lead. The Cavs didn’t fold, and they responded with a 10-2 spurt to make it 107-105 on Sessions’ lay-in with 1:23 left.

But on Portland’s next possession, former Cavs guard Andre Miller, who had just one point with five minutes left, dropped a tough, 12-foot fadeaway to put the Blazers back up by four.

Sessions then missed a layup with 39 seconds left after grabbing a loose ball that went through teammate J.J. Hickson’s hands underneath. The Cavs had to foul and Fernandez’s two free throws sent Cleveland to another gut-wrenching defeat.

Mickelson moving up in Phoenix The Associated Press

Matt York / The Associated Press

Phil Mickelson hits from the second tee during the second round of the Phoenix Open Saturday in Scottsdale, Ariz.

“But to come out after doing that and shoot a pair of 65s feels pretty good.”

Chris Couch (65) was 11 under.

Also on Saturday: Bjorn takes one-shot lead at Qatar Masters DOHA, Qatar — Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn shot a 6-under 66 to take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Qatar Masters.

Bjorn birdied four of the last five holes to finish at 11-under 205. He leads overnight leader Markus Brier, who had a 69. Defending champion Robert Karlsson finished with a 69 and trails the leader by two shots.

Martin Kaymer had a 68 and is 10 shots behind Bjorn. He needs a second-place finish to overtake Lee Westwood at the top of the rankings. Westwood missed the cut on Friday.

Tseng on top at Australian Open MELBOURNE, Australia — Defending champion Yani Tseng shot a 5-under 68 to take a threestroke lead into the final round of the Women’s Australian Open.

Tseng had a three-round total of 14-under 205 at Commonwealth Golf Club. No. 1-ranked Jiyan Shin of South Korea shot 69 and was in second place, followed by her countrywoman Ji Eun-hee, who had 70 and was four strokes behind Tseng.

GOLF ROUNDUP

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Phil Mickelson was locked in concentration over a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-3 16th, the some 20,000 onlookers mostly quiet on the amphitheater hole except a fan who screamed “Tiger would make it!”

Playing partner Bill Haas heard it, but Mickelson was oblivious to the slight, perfectly striking the putt that drew a thunderous cheer when it dropped in.

“It’s Saturday of the Phoenix Open. It’s always fun,” Mickelson said. “There’s a lot of people out here. I don’t think there’s a shot I wanted to make more, other than a major championship, than that putt on 16. I wanted to make that so bad.

“To see that go in with the crowd right there was a great feeling.”

The birdie and another on the short par-4 17th helped Mickelson close within four strokes of leader Tommy Gainey halfway through the frost-delayed tournament.

“There’s a lot of golf left,” Mickelson said. “Even though it’s Saturday — it feels like it’s the third round — but we’ve only played two, so we’re halfway through and to be within a few shots, it’s where everybody is trying to get to.”

The former Arizona State star, the 1996 and 2005 winner at TPC Scottsdale, birdied six of the last 11 holes for a 6-under 65. He was 10 under for two rounds in the tournament that will end Monday because of long delays Thursday and Friday.

Gainey played nine holes Saturday, finishing off a 65 after shooting a career-best 63 on Friday. He missed the cut in his first three events of the year.

“My ball-striking is really good,” Gainey said.

“I hit a couple bad shots today, but they wasn’t bad enough to get in any trouble. I always think that’s a good thing, because as we all know, golf is a game of misses, so my misses today were pretty good.”

Mark Wilson was 13 under, completing a 64 on Saturday.

“Everything just flowed good today,” Wilson said. “I felt very calm.”

Haas was 12 under after his second 65. He lost a playoff two weeks ago in the Bob Hope Classic, then tied for ninth at Torrey Pines after fading in the final round.

“I really felt good going into Sunday last week and shot 75, so I’d argue that I’m not 100 percent sharp, just had some good finishes,” Haas said.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2011

JOHN COSTA

Unsigned editorials, and other thoughts I

have written about the editorial page several times in the past. And the questions keep coming.

Readers want to know how we arrive at editorial opinions and who is on the editorial board.

The most frequently asked question is why the editorials are not signed.

The basics are these: The editorial board has seven members who meet each morning at 9 a.m. The editor of editorials, currently Erik Lukens, chairs the meeting, at which he and any other member of the board can suggest positions we ought to consider.

Three members of the board are members of the family that own The Bulletin and Western Communications, its parent company. They are Betsy McCool, the chairwoman of the board of directors; Janet Stevens, the deputy editor of The Bulletin; and Peg Cushman. In addition to Lukens, the other members are me, Bulletin Publisher Gordon Black and editorial writer Richard Coe. We are hardly anonymous — one of the complaints we hear. Most of our names and titles are printed in The Bulletin every day.

No seven people agree on everything, and that is certainly the case with the board. Our views are generally close to each other, but there are differences, often strong ones, and we have to argue out positions.

That is the reason that editorials are not signed. The position that we express in an editorial may not be the position held by the writer of the editorial.

Editorial writers sign on to a job that requires them to express positions with which they may not entirely agree. The position is that of the company, not necessarily that of the individual. If he or she can’t abide by that position, we ask another member of the board to write it.

It’s our view — and that of most American newspapers — that it would be misleading to ask an individual to sign an editorial that may not entirely reflect his or her view.

Readers argue that knowing the personal views and identity of the individual writer would be instructive, but because the writer is expressing a consensus of many views, it’s difficult to see how any one set of opinions has any instructive meaning.

We publish many personal columns, including mine and Stevens’, but those represent our personal views, not those of the board. We also publish many other named columnists whose views range the spectrum of opinion. But those are their individual views and do not represent a board or a company.

••• Like many of you, I have been following closely the events in Egypt.

I hope, as I’m sure that you do, that the people of that country are able to create a government that is constructive and peaceful, and, above all, one that offers them the opportunity to live a better life.

Time will tell.

Watching the events, I could not help but recall a book that I read a couple of years ago: “Power, Faith and Fantasy: America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present,” by Michael Oren.

Our well-being and security seem intricately tied up with the nations, peoples and faiths of the Middle East.

This book details the history of those ties. It’s still a very good read today.

••• I hope you notice the legislative presentation on the front page of the Local section today.

It is one we are going to repeat each week while the Legislature is in session.

It will offer analysis, the votes and key events of the previous week, a look ahead to the next week, profiles of important players and contact information for Central Oregon’s delegation.

And starting Monday on The Bulletin’s website, you’ll see a new addition to our coverage — “Politics and Policy,” a daily blog from the Legislature.

It will examine developments not covered each day in the print Bulletin as well as tell you what is coming up in the newspaper.

A push to end oil subsidies

“The federal government by no stretch of the imagination subsidizes the oil industry.

The oil industry subsidizes the federal government at a rate of $95 million a day.”

— Jack Gerard, American Petroleum Institute

By John M. Broder • New York Times News Service WASHINGTON —

W

hen he releases his new budget in two weeks, President Barack Obama will propose doing away with roughly $4 billion a year in subsidies and tax breaks

for oil companies, in his third effort to eliminate federal support for an industry that remains hugely profitable.

Previous efforts have run up against bipartisan opposition in Congress and heavy lobbying from producers of oil, natural gas and coal. The head of the oil and gas lobby in Washington contends that the president has it backward — that the industry subsidizes the government, through billions of dollars in taxes and royalties, not the other way around.

But even as the president says he wants to do away with incentives for fossil fuels, his policies continue to provide for substantial aid to oil and gas companies as well as billions of dollars in subsidies for coal, nuclear and other energy sources with large and long-lasting environmental impacts.

Obama’s proposal rekindles a long-running debate over federal subsidies for energy of all kinds, including petroleum, coal, hydropower, wind, solar and biofuels. Opposition to such

C O M M E N TA RY subsidies — often euphemistically referred to as incentives, tax credits, preferences or loan guarantees — spans the ideological spectrum, from conservative economists who believe such breaks distort the marketplace to environmentalists who believe that renewable energy sources will always lose out in subsidy fights because of the power of the entrenched fossil fuel industries.

David Kreutzer, an energy economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, argues that the federal government should take its thumb off the scale by eliminating subsidies

for all forms of energy, even it if means slowing development of cleaner-burning fuel sources.

“We would like to get rid of all subsidies,” Kreutzer said. “We know that petroleum and coal survive just fine in places where there are no subsidies. I don’t know if that’s true for wind and solar now, but someday it will be, when the price comes down.”

Goss should quit or be recalled

J

efferson County residents have a problem. Their county treasurer lacks the skills necessary for her job, and it’s starting to cause problems. Deena Goss has made improper invest-

ments, and an account that held money for prisoners in the county jail is missing nearly $8,000. She should resign. If she’s unwilling to do so, the county’s citizens should consider having her removed from office.

We don’t recommend the recall of elected officials lightly. In fact, we almost always oppose such attempts.

We’ve long felt that unless problems are extraordinarily severe — normally, violations of the law — those unhappy with an elected official should support a more suitable candidate in the next normal election. Goss’ problems are significant enough, however, to warrant her removal from office should she refuse to step down willingly.

There are a couple of areas of concern.

First, there’s that $7,993 missing from a jail inmate trust account for which she was responsible. The money — about $2,000 a year over three years — hardly registers by government standards, but it was money that was not the county’s to begin with. Goss lays the problem at the feet of the county sheriff, but an investigation by the state Department of Justice points out that as treasurer, she is ultimately responsible for the funds.

Worse, state investigators note that the accounting problems occurred only when Goss handled the cash and that the problems were always shortages. The Justice report says there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Goss committed any crimes.

Then there’s Goss’ mishandling of the county’s investments. Under her guidance the county invested more than $20 million improperly. The county made money on most of the investments, but profitability doesn’t establish legality.

Meanwhile, county residents are shelling out nearly $64,000 in salary and benefits each year to keep Goss on the job. It would be money well spent were she actually performing well at the post she was elected to fill, but that clearly isn’t the case. She should resign and save herself and the county time, money and heartache.

Alternatively, county residents should force a recall election to remove her from office.

And now, a sales tax on your home O

ne way some Oregon lawmakers apparently think they can ease the state’s financial woes is by making it easier for cities, counties and the like to raise taxes of their own. Thus, they’ve introduced a measure in the state House of Representatives that would allow those agencies to impose a transfer tax on real estate sales in their districts.

A real estate transfer tax is, of course, a sales tax, though it is levied on only a single kind of item, in this case the sale of property. And what supporters of House Bill 2518 have in mind is a complicated sales tax at that. First, it’s progressive. The more expensive the home you buy, the higher the rate at which the sale will be taxed. At the same time, the longer you hold on to your home, the lower the tax rate will be when you sell it.

First-time homeowners would avoid the tax altogether.

The imposition of such a tax surely will do wonders for the housing market, which has been struggling plenty in recent years without the additional grasping by local governments that HB 2518 would permit.

But if our lawmakers insist on

moving in this direction, why stop with real estate? If public officials really want to generate more money for counties and communities — and for the state — they ought to be up-front about what they’re doing and start talking about a simple, broad-based sales tax.

They won’t do any such thing, of course, and the reason’s obvious. Whatever the potential benefits of a sales tax, especially when coupled with a reduction in the state income tax, most Oregonians probably wouldn’t tolerate it. Lawmakers would much prefer to establish a sales tax quietly, piece by piece, beginning in this case with the biggest piece of spending any family will ever do: a home. Before you know it, we’ll all be talking about sales taxes on cars — except, of course, hybrids and battery buggies like the Nissan Leaf.

Rather than looking for new ways to raise money, the Legislature this year should resolve to make government agencies — state or local — make do with what they have. You know, just like the homeowners some members of the Legislature are targeting for a big, new tax.

My Nickel’s Worth Build straight roads

Live within means

Don’t blame discourse

Recent articles regarding the desperate need to reduce spending, even in the smallest ways, have prompted this letter. I couldn’t agree more, and one area must certainly be in the design of new roads. In recent years, I’ve noticed that most new roads in Bend seem to incorporate a series of curves, wiggles, squiggles and kinks, even when the terrain does not dictate a need. Do we really need to augment the income of our road industry by the added engineering, construction and road surfacing?

Note the kink in the Mt. Washington Bridge near Third Street, or the “infinite” number of curves in newer sections of Mt. Washington Drive. Even the Bill Healy Bridge is unnecessarily curved, along with the Reed Market/ Farewell Park road sections. In these areas, I’ve seen pedestrians having to dodge cars because of blind curves.

Do our engineers think it’s “artistic” or just cute? Speed control? Really! I most recently traveled the extension of 15th to Greenwood (in the Bear Creek area) … and, guess what? These curves are not even shown on my city map.

In summary, curves can be a safety hazard; they increase mileage, gas consumption, tire wear, and (when not required) add construction costs. To our city road planners/engineers, I’d say: “It’s not a crime to build a straight road!” Let’s save the taxpayer/state a little money and really improve our roads. Oh, and what about having to redo our sidewalk ramps? Who was held responsible for that?

Lloyd Corliss Bend

The front-page headline in a recent Bulletin declares, “Bend will pursue tax levy to pay street costs,” and on page A2 in the same edition an article announces, “At gathering, mayors see no end to difficult choices for their cities.” It seems the major difficult choice facing the mayors is the unsustainable public employees’ benefits and pensions. Some mayors foresee a growing number of municipal bankruptcies as a means of balancing their budgets, since taxes can be raised only so far and employee benefits are mandated by union contracts.

It seems our city council is resorting to the standard liberal tactic of “tax and spend,” instead of facing the sensible choice of operating within its budget.

If the public employee unions representing Bend employees will not renegotiate the existing contracts in order to bring costs in line with revenues, then the council should explore the option of bankruptcy. How much of a reduction in employee salaries and benefits would it take to meet the $17 million to $27 million shortfall in Bend’s budget? Five percent? Ten percent?

The taxpayers should be informed of all the options available and be given a choice between increased taxes and operating within a budget.

I will not support the proposed bond measure and will live with increased potholes and other street maintenance problems. Let the bad streets of Bend become our new reputation.

Jack Cook Bend

In regard to Ray Powell’s Jan. 16 letter, “Rush to blame,” really! In his opinion, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Glenn Beck are responsible for the tragedy in Tucson — not the mentally disturbed shooter who was known by the sheriff’s department in Pima County, who was known by the community college who sent a letter to his home stating that he was not allowed to return until he had a mental evaluation. He was known by his friends as not political, didn’t listen to radio or watch much television.

The only person quicker to blame Rush, Ann and Glenn was the sheriff of Pima County where the shooting occurred. The same sheriff who in my opinion was derelict in his duty to protect and serve. He was aware of the very high tension in the area and his department was aware of the shooter and was aware of the political gathering with the congresswoman.

Even the president noted that this tragedy was not because of political discourse.

Apparently, Powell missed the memo. I am quite sure that he is aware that some pundits have stated that if you disagree with the president’s policy you are a racist. I am also sure he remembers when Hollywood made a movie about the assassination of President Bush.

I am quite confident he penned a letter to the editor about how that mindset is anti-American and the exact opposite of patriotism.

Apparently I missed the memo.

Searching for somebody to blame for snowpocalypse O GAIL

ur question for today is: Who is to blame for this weather?

This week, 70 percent of the country was looking at snow. Florida is the only state that has not seen snow this winter. But Florida has gotten icicles in the orange groves plus a new governor whose claim to fame was running a corporation that cheated the federal government out of enormous amounts of money. Florida’s not feeling all that superior.

Chicago’s snowfall was so huge that the news media ran out of things to attach to “snow” — thundersnow! snowpocalypse! snowmageddon!

The storm beat the world-famous blizzard of 1979. Really, if you’re going to be cold and miserable and inconvenienced, you might as well be setting a record.

The blizzard of 1979 is world-famous because Chicago’s snow removal efforts went badly, causing everyone to turn on then-mayor Michael Bilandic, who was kicked out of office six weeks later in the Democratic primary. Coincidentally, there’s a Democratic primary coming up this month, and candidates have been shoveling snow off cars and

sidewalks all around the city.

Not content with snow removal photo-ops, Rahm (I Live Here!) Emanuel, a Chicago mayoral candidate, also wasted no time in sending off a storm-related e-mail, offering “a few helpful tips” on how to weather the weather. They included: “Don’t make any unnecessary trips outside.”

And: “If you must go outside, wear several layers of warm, dry clothing. Keep your extremities covered. Wear hats, gloves, winter boots and warm socks.”

People, if someone was preparing to walk off into 2 feet of snow without socks and boots, do you think an e-mail from Rahm Emanuel would make that person think twice? Let’s see a show of hands.

But I digress. We are sick of bad weather and looking for a dumping place for all our bad vibrations.

Ideally, we would like to blame one specific person — like the evil queen in the movie “Red Sonja” who used a magic orb to destroy entire civilizations with terrible storms until she was vanquished

by Red Sonja and Arnold Schwarzenegger. But that was a long time ago when

COLLINS Schwarzenegger was still saying things like, “If you yield only to a conqueror, then prepare to be conquered, Little Sonja.” Now, he is more likely to say, “Let’s fix the pension problem,” and California has been having terrible weather.

Nevertheless, I don’t think we can pin this on Arnold.

Al Gore, on the phone between plane flights Wednesday, of course, pointed to global warming. “Here’s a basic fact,” he said. “There is about 4 percent more water vapor in the atmosphere today than there was in 1970.” That extra water, he said, is because of warmer oceans and warmer air, and is returning to earth as extra-heavy rain and snow.

Remind me again why we aren’t fighting global warming? It’s win-win. Even if all the hordes of scientists are wrong

in believing that human beings are causing climate change, the remedies would still be good for the environment and for energy independence.

We could always blame George W. Bush — that never gets old. But Gore declined to be helpful when it came to fixing blame. “I’m sorely tempted to throw out three or four names, but it wouldn’t be right,” he said, showing a depressing level of prudence for someone who was spending the day trying to get crosscountry by airplane.

We could blame President Obama for doing health care reform instead of global warming, but Congress is even more afraid of the energy lobby than the insurance companies. The president seems to be planning to do what he can by regulation. That prospect makes Republicans so angry that they’re introducing legislation to prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from using its powers under the Clean Air Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Obviously, there is nothing more nefarious than having the agency in charge of protecting the environment use the clean air law to keep harmful

gases out of the atmosphere.

The Senate sponsor is James Inhofe of Oklahoma, who recently claimed that the supercold winter proves that theories about global warming are “an intellectual fraud.” We could blame Sen. Inhofe, but he really isn’t all that satisfactory a villain. It’d sort of be like blaming nuclear proliferation on gophers.

Another opponent of EPA action, Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, used to be aligned with the environmentalists — until he left his moderate House district to run in a Republican Senate primary and abruptly switched positions. Defending himself in a recent interview with Greenwire, Kirk claimed that there was no longer real support for a climate change bill because of “the personal and political collapse of Vice President Gore.”

In other words, environmental warrior Al Gore is responsible for the weather, as well as the pathetic wimpiness of Mark Kirk.

Let’s just think of it as the Sen. Kirk snowpocalypse.

O Wealth: hard work, delayed gratification VICTOR T DAVIS

he 2008 financial crash originated with a housing bubble.

Not long ago, the cheap-money policies of the Federal Reserve, the infusion of trillions of dollars in new foreign investment, and the misguided policies of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae all conspired to extend to millions of Americans lots of easy cash for inflated houses that they could hardly afford.

Owning a house was seen as a “right” rather than the just rewards of household sacrifice, delayed gratification and budgetary discipline.

Builders, lenders, Realtors and bureaucrats all got in on the easy-money Ponzi scheme — until a few noticed that the emperor had no clothes and that rather pedestrian homes were hardly worth what unqualified purchasers had paid for them. Financial hysteria followed when shaky borrowers began to miss exorbitant mortgage payments, walked away, and lenders panicked.

The subsequent meltdown is history.

There is a similar pension bubble rising as well. There is perhaps as much as $6 trillion owed in retirement pledges to Americans, $500 billion in California alone. That tab under present conditions simply cannot be met. For the last 30 years, politicians outbid each other to offer more lavish retirement packages to union members and public employees — more eager for their votes than for ensuring the payment of what

HANSON they had promised. Receiving a generous retirement package was considered a right rather than an investment predicated on past savings coupled with modest interest and dividends.

There may already be an immediate $1 trillion shortfall in meeting what is owed current retirees. Pensioners on the receiving end are becoming more numerous, older and more affluent, while the younger workers on the paying end are becoming less numerous and poorer. At some point, a city, a state or perhaps the Social Security system itself is going to announce there is no more money. Then, if there is not another financial crisis and Wall Street meltdown, the fantasy will end with workers paying higher contributions, retiring later and receiving less.

Then there is the higher-education bubble, as collective student debt nears $1 trillion with no guarantee that it will be paid back. Lots of poor college students and their strapped parents are floating huge government-subsidized student loans to pay for ever-morecostly bachelor’s degrees that no lon-

ger ensure that the recipients are either well-educated, will find a job upon graduation or, if employed, will be better-paid than the vocationally trained.

Going to college has somehow become seen as a national right rather than a privilege predicated on superior academic achievement, financial sacrifice and continued academic discipline.

There are disturbing commonalities to these expanding bubbles — and others like the recently enacted health care entitlement on the way. The rich and connected seem exempt from the impending reckoning, and the poor assume government will offer them debt relief. Those in between are on their own and will have to pay more for receiving less.

America is not creating enough wealth to justify the notion that everyone should go to college, get a higherpaying job than their parents, buy a nice, affordable house, and retire earlier and with more money than did prior generations.

We have forgotten what wealth is — and how tenuous the good life is. Riches are created by educated and skilled workers who directly translate natural resources into commodities that make life easier. The nonproductive sector in government, law and banking must facilitate that process with efficient and transparent financial and political systems.

Instead, we are failing to provide our college graduates with unique skills that make them rare assets in the global competitive arena. Meanwhile, our more talented and better-trained workers are suing, subsidizing and regulating more than ever — instead of searching for more oil and gas, supplying more water to productive farmland, fast-tracking nuclear power plants, manufacturing machines and consumer goods, or devising new and more efficient ways to help others to produce such food, fuel and products. In other words, we are living the good life in the abstract that we have not quite earned in the concrete.

America is a naturally rich country. Unlike Russia, China, Egypt or Greece, it is stable, transparent, tolerant and free of civil strife. The result is that we are not doomed to see these bubbles expand and burst with the attendant social unrest. We need only return to our old American creed that wealth is created only with hard work and delayed gratification. In other words, America must get back to producing real, rather than imaginary, riches and ignore pleasing rhetoric that masks unpleasant reality — the faster the better.

Discord in Egypt shows that Bush was right

By Elliott Abrams For The Washington Post

F

or decades, the Arab states have seemed exceptions to the laws of politics and human nature. While liberty expanded in many parts of the globe, these nations were left behind, their “freedom deficit” signaling the political underdevelopment that accompanied many other economic and social maladies. In November 2003, President George W. Bush laid out this question: “Are the peoples of the Middle East somehow beyond the reach of liberty?

Are millions of men and women and children condemned by history or culture to live in despotism? Are they alone never to know freedom and never even have a choice in the matter?”

The massive and violent demonstrations under way in Egypt, the smaller ones in Jordan and Yemen, and the recent revolt in Tunisia that inspired those events, have affirmed that the answer is no and is exploding, once and for all, the myth of Arab exceptionalism. Arab nations, too, yearn to throw off the secret police, to read a newspaper that the Ministry of Information has not censored, and to vote in free elections. The Arab world may not be swept with a broad wave of revolts now, but neither will it soon forget this moment.

So a new set of questions becomes critical. What lesson will Arab regimes learn? Will they undertake the steady reforms that may bring peaceful change, or will they conclude that exiled Tunisian President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali erred only by failing to shoot and club enough demonstrators?

And will our own government learn that dictatorships are never truly stable? For beneath the calm surface enforced by myriad security forces, the pressure for change only grows — and it may grow in extreme and violent forms when real debate and political competition are denied.

The regimes of Ben Ali and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak proffered the same line to Washington: It’s us or the Islamists. For Tunisia, a largely secular nation with a literacy rate of 75 percent and per capita GDP of $9,500, this claim was never defensible. In fact, Ben Ali jailed moderates, human rights advocates, editors — anyone who represented what might be called “hope and change.”

Mubarak took the same tack for three decades. Ruling under an endless emergency law, he has crushed the moderate opposition while the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood has thrived underground and in the mosques. Mubarak in effect created a two-party system — his ruling National Democratic Party and the Brotherhood — and then defended the lack of democracy by saying a free election would bring the Islamists to power.

Of course, neither he nor we can know for sure what Egyptians really think; last fall’s parliamentary election was even more corrupt than the one in 2005. And sometimes the results of a first free election will find the moderates so poorly organized that extreme groups can eke out a victory, as Hamas did when it gained a 44-to-41 percent margin in the Palestinian election of 2006. But we do know for sure that regimes that make moderate politics impossible make extremism far

more likely. Rule by emergency decree long enough, and you end up creating a genuine emergency. And Egypt has one now.

“Angry Friday” brought tens of thousands of Egyptians into the streets all over the country, demanding the end of the Mubarak regime.

The huge and once-feared police forces were soon overwhelmed and the Army called in. Even if these demonstrations are crushed, Egypt has a president who will be 83 at the time of this fall’s presidential election. Every day Hosni Mubarak survives in power now, he does so as dictator propped up by brute force alone. Succession by his son Gamal is already a sour joke, and one must wonder whether Egypt’s ruling elites, civilian and military, will wish to tie their future to Hosni Mubarak rather than seeking a new face.

The three decades Hosni Mubarak and his cronies have already had in power leave Egypt with no reliable mechanisms for a transition to democratic rule. Egypt will have some of the same problems as Tunisia, where there are no strong democratic parties and where the demands of the people for rapid change may outstrip the new government’s ability to achieve it. This is also certain to be true in Yemen, where a weak central government has spent all its energies and most of its resources simply staying in power.

All these developments seem to come as a surprise to the Obama administration, which dismissed Bush’s “freedom agenda” as overly ideological and meant essentially to defend the invasion of Iraq. But as Bush’s support

for the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon and for a democratic Palestinian state showed, he was defending self-government, not the use of force. Consider what Bush said in that 2003 speech, which marked the 20th anniversary of the National Endowment for Democracy, an institution established by President Ronald Reagan precisely to support the expansion of freedom.

“Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe — because in the long run, stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty,” Bush said. “As long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place of stagnation, resentment and violence ready for export.”

This spirit did not always animate U.S. diplomacy in the Bush administration; plenty of officials found it unrealistic and had to be prodded or overruled to follow the president’s lead. But the revolt in Tunisia, the gigantic wave of demonstrations in Egypt and the more recent marches in Yemen all make clear that Bush had it right — and that the Obama administration’s abandonment of this mind-set is nothing short of a tragedy.

U.S. officials talked to Mubarak plenty in 2009 and 2010, and even talked to the far more repressive President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, but they talked about their goals for Israeli-Palestinian peace and ignored the police states outside the doors of those presidential palaces. When the Iranian regime stole the June 2009 elections and people went to the streets, the Obama

administration feared that speaking out in their support might jeopardize the nuclear negotiations. The “reset” sought with Russia has been with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, not the Russian people suffering his increasingly despotic and lawless rule.

This has been the greatest failure of policy and imagination in the administration’s approach: Looking at the world map, it sees states and their rulers, but has forgotten the millions of people suffering under and beginning to rebel against those rulers. “Engagement” has not been the problem, but rather the administration’s insistence on engaging with regimes rather than with the people trying to survive under them.

If the Arab regimes learn the wrong lessons and turn once again to their police and their armies, the U.S. reaction becomes even more important.

We cannot deliver democracy to the Arab states, but we can make our principles and our policies clear. Now is the time to say that the peoples of the Middle East are not “beyond the reach of liberty” and that we will assist any peaceful effort to achieve it — and oppose and condemn efforts to suppress it.

Such a statement would not elevate our ideals at the expense of our interests. It turns out, as those demonstrators are telling us, that supporting freedom is the best policy of all.

Best, worst side by side in Egypt CAIRO — ro-government thugs at Tahrir Square used clubs, machetes, swords and straight razors on Wednesday to try to crush Egypt’s democracy movement, but, for me, the most memorable moment of a sickening day was one of inspiration: watching two women stand up to a mob.

I was on Tahrir Square, watching armed men pour in to scream in support of President Hosni Mubarak and to battle the pro-democracy protesters. Everybody, me included, tried to give them a wide berth, and the bodies of the injured being carried away added to the tension. Then along came two middle-age sisters, Amal and Minna, walking toward the square to join the pro-democracy movement. They had their heads covered in the conservative Muslim style, and they looked timid and frail as thugs surrounded them, jostled them, shouted at them.

Yet side by side with the ugliest of humanity, you find the best. The two sisters stood their ground. They explained calmly to the mob why they favored democratic reform and listened patiently to the screams of the pro-Mubarak mob. When the women refused to be cowed, the men lost interest and began to move on — and the two women continued to walk to the center of Tahrir Square.

I approached the women and told them I was awed by their courage. I jotted down their names and asked why they had risked the mob’s wrath to come to Tahrir Square. “We need democracy in Egypt,” Amal told me, looking quite composed.

“We just want what you have.”

But when I tried to interview them on video, thugs swarmed us again. I appeased the members of the mob by interviewing them (as one polished his razor), and the two sisters managed again to slip away toward the center of Tahrir Square, also known as Liberation Square, to do their part for Egyptian democracy.

Thuggery and courage coexisted all day in Tahrir Square, just like that. The events were sometimes presented by the news media as “clashes” between rival factions, but that’s a bit misleading. This was an organized government crackdown, but it relied on armed hoodlums, not on police or army troops.

The pro-Mubarak forces arrived in busloads that mysteriously were waved past checkpoints. These forces emerged at the same time in both Alexandria and Cairo, and they seemed to have been briefed to carry the same kinds of signs and scream the same slogans. They singled out foreign journalists, presumably because they didn’t want their brutality covered.

A number of journalists were beaten up, although far and away it was Egyptians who suffered the most.

Until the arrival of these thugs, Tahrir Square had been remarkably peaceful, partly because pro-democracy volunteers checked IDs and frisked everyone entering. In contrast, the pro-Mubarak mobs were picking fights. At first, the army kept them away from the prodemocracy crowds, but then the proMubarak thugs charged into the square and began attacking.

There is no reliable way of knowing right now how many have been killed and injured in Egypt’s turmoil. Before Wednesday’s violence, Navi Pillay, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights, said the death toll might be as many as 300 but acknowledged that she was basing that on “unconfirmed” reports. These figures compare with perhaps more than 100 killed when Iran crushed its pro-democracy movement in 2009 and perhaps 400 to 800 killed in Beijing at Tiananmen Square in 1989.

Chinese and Iranian leaders were widely condemned for those atrocities, so shouldn’t Mubarak merit the same broad condemnation? Come on, President Obama. You owe the democracy protesters, and our own history and values, a much more forceful statement.

It should be increasingly evident that Mubarak is not the remedy for the instability in Egypt; he is its cause. The road to stability in Egypt requires Mubarak’s departure, immediately.

But for me, when I remember this sickening and bloody day, I’ll conjure not only the brutality that Mubarak seems to have sponsored but also the courage and grace of those Egyptians who risked their lives as they sought to reclaim their country.

Above all, I’ll be inspired by those two sisters standing up to Mubarak’s hoodlums.

If they, armed only with their principles, can stand up to Mubarak’s thuggery, can’t we all do the same?

An artist’s view of World War I “On the Battlefield of Memory: The First World War and American Remembrance, 1919-1941”

by Steven Trout (University of Alabama Press, 344 pgs., $48.50)

fensive of September 1918 that helped hasten the war’s end some two months later.

In fact, Davis had been killed more than a month earlier, and in the Vosges Mountains in eastern France.

By Brian Burnes McClatchy Newspapers

At some point, Steven Trout, author of “On the Battlefield of Memory,” visited the grave of William Davis in Winchester, Kan. What he found probably wasn’t what he expected.

In the 1940 painting “The Return of Private Davis From the Argonne,” Kansas artist John Steuart Curry had depicted the 1921 ceremonial reinterment of Davis’ body. The young man had been a friend of Curry’s and one of the first members of the Kansas National Guard to die in France in 1918.

But, as Trout soon recognized, there were issues with Curry’s version of events.

The Davis grave is on a steep incline from which no distant horizon can be glimpsed. The view is not at all as presented by Curry on his canvas, on which mourners are dwarfed by a vast Kansas prairie.

There was more. Davis, Trout’s research revealed, didn’t die during the Battle of the Meuse-Argonne, the epic of-

Artistic license What was the artist’s point in suggesting otherwise? It was this distance between historical reality and artistic license that intrigued Trout — English professor at Fort Hays State University — and prompted his investigation of the painting’s backstory. The Curry canvas is one of many artistic representations of World War I’s sacrifice and aftermath that Trout subjects to scrutiny.

He devotes separate chapters to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, dedicated in 1921, and the European grave of Quentin Roosevelt, son of Theodore, who died in 1918 while serving as a pilot over France. He also discusses post-war film and fiction, as well as the work of several artists, Curry among then.

At a minimum, Trout demonstrates that the ways the Great War was remembered in the years following the armistice often were at odds with the official reasons why we fought.

To that end, Trout wonders whether Curry tweaked the narrative of Private Davis’ death to advance his own agenda, sometimes in subtle ways.

That huge Kansas horizon is an example. Curry — like Private Davis, a one-time resident of Jefferson County, not far from Kansas City — by the late 1930s lived in Connecticut, near his patrons. But the artist today is perhaps best known for “Tragic Prelude,” a mural in the Topeka statehouse, with its wild-eyed John Brown.

Curry knew where his bread was buttered. He “was adept at giving his East Coast audi-

ence what it wanted: scenes, the more violent or grotesque the better, of exotic flatlanders inhabiting a strange, monotonous landscape,” Trout writes.

The canvas details a crowd of mourning residents huddled around the flag-draped casket, listening to a minister. If the artist treats the mourners with respect, Trout writes, his depiction of the preacher is not flattering — as if Curry is signaling his disregard for the day’s official articulator of the country’s collective sacrifice.

Trout even sees a similar signal in the Model T Fords lined up in the painting’s background.

“This may seem to be a stretch,” he writes. But in the then-contemporary fiction of Sinclair Lewis and Willa Cather, enthusiasm for motor cars was used to suggest, Trout writes, “the deadening conformity of smalltown America.”

Remembrance Trout also considers the long gestation of the painting, not completed until 1940. Curry was an isolationist, and Trout considers it possible that the gathering storm in Europe prompted Curry not only to finally complete his long-considered painting, but also to give it a title that

Biography sheds little new light on Bogart the man “Tough Without a Gun: The Life and Extraordinary Afterlife of Humphrey Bogart”

by Stefan Kanfer (Knopf, 290 pgs., $26.95)

By Chris Foran Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Considering he may be the most enduring of Hollywood movie stars, Humphrey Bogart sure didn’t look the part.

Even Lauren Bacall, his doting fourth wife, picked up on it, in their best movie together, “The Big Sleep”: Bacall: “You’re a mess, aren’t you?”

Bogart: “I’m not very tall either. Next time I’ll come on stilts, wear a white tie and carry a tennis racket.”

Bacall: “I doubt if even that will help.”

The inside joke of that scene is that, before he was Hollywood’s top tough guy — “Tough Without a Gun,” as Stefan Kanfer’s new biography describes him — he did carry a tennis racket. Bogart famously got his start playing juveniles in a string of less than successful Broadway plays, entering the scene more often as a narrative transition than a fully realized character to be reckoned with.

How he transformed himself into a star to be reckoned with — how he became even a bigger star after his death from cancer in 1957 at the age of 57 — is Kanfer’s focus. Unfortunately, the author never really manages to get Bogart himself into focus.

A rebel It doesn’t help that Bogart’s story has been told and retold.

Born into a world of privilege but with distracted parents, he was from the first a rebel, as much out of boredom as principle. A middling stage career led to a middling movie career, then back to the stage, where he eventually landed the role of a desperate outlaw in “The Petrified Forest,” which thanks to the support of co-star Leslie Howard got him back to Hollywood.

After that, it took years of supporting parts and ridiculous roles — you have to hear Bogie’s Mexican accent in the Errol Flynn Western “Virginia City” to be-

lieve it — before he became a topof-the-line star in 1941, with “High Sierra” and “The Maltese Falcon.”

An icon In quick order, Bogart played some of the most iconic figures in American moviedom: Sam Spade in “The Maltese Falcon,” Rick in “Casablanca,” Philip Marlowe in “The Big Sleep,” Fred C. Dobbs in “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” Charlie Allnut in “The African Queen,” Captain Queeg in “The Caine Mutiny.”

Along the way, he constantly fought with his bosses and made a very public showing of being his own man.

That’s the Bogart persona that lives on: the hardened man of principle who, echoing (as Kanfer does, several times) Raymond Chandler’s knight errant, goes down those mean streets “neither tarnished nor afraid.”

In Kanfer’s “and then he made” approach to Bogart’s career, he never really gets the iconography and reality to match up. So, what you’ve got is a filmography seasoned with irony.

In an all too brief final chapter, Kanfer rounds up the varying ways in which Bogart lives on after his death, from inspiring French New Wave directors and Woody Allen to the cult that has grown up around “Casablanca.”

Years later, Ingrid Bergman said of her “Casablanca” co-star, “I kissed him, but I never really knew him.”

After “Tough Without a Gun,” we don’t know him a whole lot better.

would remind viewers of the more than 26,000 Americans killed in the Meuse-Argonne action.

“To view this canvas is to feel simultaneously the force and the failure of war remembrance when confronted with a conflict fought far away — somewhere over the Kansas rainbow — for a questionable cause and with dubious outcomes,” Trout writes.

Perhaps it’s odd that the book has no apparent discussion of George Creel, the former Kansas City newspaper reporter who led the U.S. propaganda effort during the war and largely was responsible for language and imagery used to convince Americans of the war’s necessity.

But the book is, at minimum, timely given the approaching anniversary of the war — the Civil War. While many Americans may be familiar with the continuing debate regarding the Civil War’s origins and ends, Trout’s book poses the possibility that it may be the more recent conflict whose meaning has grown more ambiguous.

In fairness, Curry ultimately didn’t think himself above the residents of Winchester. Upon his death in 1946, Curry — like Davis — was buried there.

A haunting song for lost souls “Miss Me When I’m Gone”

by Philip Stephens (Plume, 306 pgs.; $15 paperback original)

By Noah Homola McClatchy Newspapers

Last year’s motion picture adaptation of Daniel Woodrell’s novel “Winter’s Bone’ brought international attention to the Missouri Ozarks. In his first novel, “Miss Me When I’m Gone,” Philip Stephens gives a deeper look into middle Missouri’s strange and sometimes unsettling world.

He provides a compelling and insightful depiction of not just the land and what haunts it, but of human desire.

Central to Stephens’ tale, folk musician Cyrus Harper, carrying a guitar passed down from his father, returns home from California to the fictional Ozarks town of Apogee, Mo., where his mother is dying.

While there he also intensifies a nearly 20-year search for his missing sister, Saro.

At the same time, a mysterious, homeless woman named Margaret Bowman creeps around the town and the surrounding woods in hopes of kidnapping the daughter who has been taken from her by the state.

After four teens are found murdered, Margaret becomes the prime suspect.

The police and local militias search for her, as does Cyrus, who now believes that the sullen, wandering Margaret is his sister.

Stephens’ depiction of Missouri exists between the book-

ends of Kansas City and St. Louis, in a gothic land where ghosts curl up from the grounds like fog from the Missouri River.

The characters in Apogee have defiled it with meth labs, strip clubs and golf courses, yet it remains in its way a sacred ground, made so by unspoken bonds of secrets and lore. Like a distant lover, Apogee puts on a facade to prevent tourists and other outsidersfrom knowing the real life stirring behind the curtain.

On weekends, suburbanites barrel in, driving their Range Rovers to clog up Apogee’s gravel roads on the way to the lake.

Cyrus’ brother, Isaac, wants to cash in on their mother’s impending death by building condos on the soon-to-be inherited land on which their childhood house sits.

The prospect of selling off his memories and turning his hometown into a tourist trap built on a counterfeit version of country life disgusts Cyrus. Because of his music, he believes one should always be true to oneself. “A

‘Swamplandia!’ is a weird mix of murky lives

song was a culmination of experience,” he thinks, “of celebration, suffering, or stoicism, and it should be presented as such.”

To Cyrus, forgetting the past would be the ultimate crime.

Dishonesty toward oneself creates an insincere world. But nobody, except the dead, is a saint in “Miss Me When I’m Gone.”

Even Cyrus betrays himself when he takes a gig at a strip club to sing bawdy drinking songs like “The HogEyed Man” and “My Pencil Won’t Write No More” while str umming his most sentimental memento, Saro’s old guitar.

Stephens gives the characters in “Miss Me When I’m Gone” an addiction to hope, an addiction that wouldn’t necessarily be fulfilled by a resolution. The search for a missing half drives both Cyrus and Margaret — Cyrus for his sister, and Margaret for her daughter. But both seem hesitant to give up the chase when given the chance, as if their search were a vital part of their identities.

Stephens interlaces the stories

of Margaret and Cyrus seamlessly. We travel with Margaret to meth houses and backwoods hollows where children smoke marijuana in an abandoned bus.

Cyrus takes us on a somewhat more civilized, though still gritty, tour of Apogee, which ends when he meets Margaret.

The bleaker the novel becomes, the deeper we are entrenched in its world and taken by its characters. We forgive Cyrus and his inconsistent virtues, because we suspect we couldn’t do better if given the chance.

Stephens is a poet, and in his first novel his poetic renderings make Apogee come alive as a place in between collapse and rebirth.

Despite the melancholy lives it reflects, “Miss Me When I’m Gone” celebrates Missouri life because it refuses to shy away from its shortcomings. We connect with the place for the same reason we relate to Cyrus — for its humanity, for the flaws. Stephens has made this part of the Ozarks an underdog we can get behind and root for. It resonates out of the pages like an old folk song.

“Miss Me When I’m Gone” is an uncompromising depiction of what it is like to want something in a desperate and lonely world. Music plays a big role in this book. Cyrus longs to find the right song that will bring back his lost sister. Often he sings to himself as if to say we are all alone, but at least we’re alone together.

“Swamplandia!”

by Karen Russell (Knopf, 320 pgs., $24.95)

By Mike Fischer

Looking for more room?

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Writer Karen Russell is on record stating that, much as she loves reading realist fiction, she couldn’t “write a moving tale about a family of struggling car salesmen in Detroit,” even if “somebody held a gun to my head.”

“But a family of alligator wrestlers in a mythic swamp? That,” she continued, “I can do.”

Now she has, in “Swamplandia!,” a weird and wonderfully inventive first novel that also happens to be a moving, very real tale about a struggling family.

The Bigtrees aren’t car salesmen from Detroit, but they’re facing foreclosure on their isolated island home in Florida’s Everglades once 36-year-old Hilola Bigtree succumbs to ovarian cancer. She leaves behind a dazed husband and three teenagers: a boy named Kiwi and two girls, Osceola and 13-year-old Ava. Back when customers demanded less because their imaginations did more, Hilola had been the star of the Bigtrees’ alligator wrestling show held in Swamplandia!, their 100-acre throwback to carnivals from a distant past.

World of Darkness Hilola’s death coincides with the rise of a more conventional mainland tourist attraction: the World of Darkness, featuring a water ride through a whale’s belly where “watching people board the ride and get released down the chute was like watching an eerie factory assembly line.”

The Bigtree children cope with Hilola’s death in different ways — none of them good.

Hoping to raise money and save their park, the restless Kiwi gets a job in the World of Darkness, and once he arrives, half of the remaining chapters — narrated in a funny and satirical free-indirect style that is also shot through with poignant longing for his vanished island world — trace his struggles to make ends meet as an underpaid refugee.

Sharp as her indictment of this world can be, Russell doesn’t always seem sure of where she is headed in later Kiwi chapters.

Like Kiwi himself, Russell’s heart seems to be back in Swamplandia!, where Ava’s extraordinary voice gives us a first-person account of the Bigtree sisters, in a

narrative that crosses “Alice in Wonderland” and Peter Matthiessen’s “Shadow Country” with a dash of Stephen King’s “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.”

What do you do if you’re an orphaned teenage girl pining for a dead mother and starved for love, living in a swamp far removed from any nearby town or school — let alone a ready boyfriend?

If you’re Osceola, you stoke a torrid romance with a ghost, around whom you craft a marvelously realized story of his life as a canal digger who died during the Depression. If you’re Ava, you fall hard for a creepy, swamp-dwelling drifter who claims to have special powers allowing him to take Ava to the underworld and find her lovelorn, missing sister.

“The whole world was funneling through a crack and reconstituting itself,” Ava tells us, and Russell manages to make the sisters’ tilted world from the wrong side of that crack seem as real to us as it does to them — even though part of us also knows that both girls are skirting the edge of madness.

Evocative The magic ingredient inducing belief is Russell’s incredibly evocative language, as thickly textured and dizzying as the mangrove swamp in which the girls soon lose their way.

Water “bunches and wrinkles” like “black silk.” A river becomes a “looking glass for stars.” Mosquitoes are “tiny particles of an old, dissolved appetite, something prehistoric and very scary that ... could drain you in sips without ever knowing what you had been.”

Russell’s re-creation of that world will make it easy to forget tamer fare like the “Twilight” series. It’s “Swamplandia!” that’s the real deal — and the first must-read of 2011.

The Curly, Moe and Larry of Florida crime fiction “Electric Barracuda”

by Tim Dorsey (Morrow, 368 pgs., $24.99)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel

One really must give Tim Dorsey props — not mad props — but props all the same for taking what is basically a onenote joke that is the literary version of the Three Stooges and running with it.

For 13 novels.

Dorsey’s plots, such as they are, show off the madcap, the manic and the loony. His characters, such as they are, epitomize the demented, deranged and the frenzied.

Yet amid all the outlandishness, this Tampa author’s heartfelt affection for Florida and its history, kitsch and outlandishness are evident.

While just about every Florida mystery writer showcases the state in a different way, Dorsey’s novels are like travelogues, taking the reader from the familiar sights to the nooks and crannies.

In “Electric Barracuda,” serial killer and Florida history buff Serge A. Storms is trying

to put his affinity for the Sunshine State to work by setting up theme vacations.

“Florida is a theme. And the theme is weirdness,” he reasons. So why wouldn’t people be interested in a trip during which they pretend to be fugitives. Travels with Serge include a search for Capone’s lost treasure and a detour with a gang of seniors whose life savings have just been wiped out. Serge, who only attacks those who don’t respect Florida history, also becomes the weirdest blogger and a songwriter, penning a rap song about the Sunshine State with decent lyrics.

“Electric Barracuda,” like Dorsey’s other novels, lags in the middle and the author can’t resist taking a couple of cheap shots at real people.

Still, Dorsey makes us care, for some odd reason, about Serge.

Dorsey’s peculiar, unconventional and often uncouth humor isn’t for everyone; neither was that of the Three Stooges. But sometimes a bit of tastelessness is just what we need.

A trip in Vonnegut’s time machine “While Mortals Sleep”

by Kurt Vonnegut (Delacorte Press, 257 pgs., $27)

By Noah Homola McClatchy Newspapers

In 1950, Kurt Vonnegut sold his first short story, “Report on the Barhouse Effect,” for $750 — the equivalent of six weeks’ pay at his public relations job at General Electric. When his second story sold for $950, he quit so he could write full-time.

In the second collection of Vonnegut stories put out since his death in 2007, “While Mortals Sleep,” we are given 16 previously unreleased short stories from this early period when he was making his living by publishing short fiction in magazines like Esquire and Cosmopolitan.

As with “Look at the Birdie,” the previous posthumous collection, this is Vonnegut fresh out of the corporate world, hungry to establish himself as a writer.

Today’s readers play the part of an archaeologist, sifting through the pages and unearthing relics of a post-war United States that reveled in the short story. Sure, these stories feel like classic, wry and imaginative Vonnegut, but the atmosphere of a bygone era, when story took precedent over character, is what dominates.

Characters walk down the sto-

ry’s path, destined to its ending regardless of their action. Every event is calculated, leading up to a revelation or pronouncement that doesn’t hide behind metaphors or symbolism — something seen as banal or amateurish by today’s standards.

But this device works, even in the story “Money Talks,” where, in unsurprising Vonnegut fashion, the titular money does indeed talk.

Perhaps it’s easy to look at a 50-year-old story and just be charmed by its apparent hokeyness. A certain nostalgia might take place.

But reading these Vonnegut pieces is deeper, because he pro-

vides enough substance to reassure us that we are not in the hands of a hack.

Even with a direct moral that is routinely spelled out, we never feel ensnared in Vonnegut’s selfindulgences or get the sense that we are in the midst of a preachy anecdote or object lesson.

Pieces like “Jenny,” in which a man uses his toes to control a robotic refrigerator shaped like a woman, read like typical Vonnegut canon.

But in other stories — “Out, Brief Candle” and “Ruth,” for example — we see a more traditional and melancholy Vonnegut, similar to a short story

by Alice Munro or J.D. Salinger, respectively.

Beyond the nice mixture of stories, 13 drawings by Vonnegut are placed throughout the book.

Don’t be discouraged by the fluff, though. These stories celebrate the short story in its golden age. By the book’s end, you’ll want to dig up old copies of Collier’s Magazine and The Saturday Evening Post to revisit the stories of not just Vonnegut, but of Steinbeck, Bradbury and Fitzgerald.

“While Mortals Sleep” is ultimately an artifact to celebrate and remind us that, with literature at least, we can do ourselves a favor by not staying current.

Author separated from his parents’ culture by time and distance examines identity “Vietnamerica: A Family’s Journey”

by GB Tran (Villard, 179 pgs., $30)

By David L. Ulin Los Angeles Times

Where does memory end and myth begin? GB Tran’s graphic novel “Vietnamerica: A Family’s Journey” occupies the messy middle ground of that question.

Born in 1976 in South Carolina, Tran was separated by time and geography from his family’s Vietnamese roots His parents left Vietnam with their two older children three days before the fall of Saigon in 1975: Their American-born son is literally a man between cultures, with no experience of what his parents and siblings left behind. How does he reconcile this?

How does he come to understand the present through the filter of the past? “Vietnamerica” seeks to trace that process. As Tran notes early in the book, quoting Confucius, “A man without history is a tree without roots.”

The blending of comics with memoir dates at least to the 1970s, when Harvey Pekar published his first “American Splendor” stories and Will Eisner produced “A Contract With God.” In the decades since, some of the genre’s most vivid touchstones have been

its most personal ones: Art Spiegelman’s “Maus,” for example, which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its nuanced evocation of the Holocaust, and Marjane Satrapi’s “Persepolis,” with its portrait of life in Iran in the wake of the Islamic revolution.

“Vietnamerica” has similar intentions, shifting between the present day and the middle of the last century, moving among generations of family as it goes from Southeast Asia to the U.S. and back again. It’s a kaleidoscopic approach, and like Spiegelman or Satrapi, Tran frames himself as a guide. He writes: “It was a bizarre coincidence, Mom’s mom and Dad’s dad, my last two surviving grandparents, dying within a few months of each other.”

What complicates Tran’s story is Vietnam, a country where resolution remains elusive to this day. Consider Tran’s grandfather, a high-ranking Communist who abandoned his family for the revolution, only to see his wife take up with a French colonel. When the colonel is targeted for assassination, he intervenes.

“With him dead,” he argues, “who would help raise my children?” Here, Tran highlights the interconnectedness of even the most divided society. “Individuals pick sides,” he tells us. “Fami-

lies don’t.”

There’s something fundamentally hopeful about such a statement, with its assurance that blood is thicker than politics. As “Vietnamerica” progresses, however, the story gets muddied, for life is rarely so clear-cut. Part of the problem is that families make painful decisions all the time, and Tran’s story shows this at almost every turn. “Mom and Dad fled Vietnam to keep the family together,” he notes. “If they hadn’t, Dad would have ended up in a labor camp, Mom denied work and forced to struggle in poverty, and my sisters and brother reduced to street beggars.... How do I know if I would have ever been born?”

Still, as necessary as it was, his parents’ departure also split the family and separated them from their heritage. “Sometimes doing what’s right,” he observes, “means leaving things behind.”

That’s true, of course, but it also points to a larger problem with “Vietnamerica.” Tran simply is unable to achieve the reconciliation to which the book aspires. Like all personal narratives, his relies on reminiscence — but other people’s more than his own. His life remains largely in the background, except when it intersects with the family’s experience in Vietnam.

Energy Continued from F1 H. Jeffrey Leonard, president of the Global Environment Fund, a private equity firm that invests in clean-technology ventures, said that the current subsidy structure was the legacy of 60 years of lobbying and political jockeying in Washington that largely benefits oil, coal, nuclear power and corn-based ethanol. He calls for scrapping all subsidies and letting fuel sources compete on equal ground.

Obama is not willing to go that far. He has supported favored tax treatment for wind and solar power as well as a 50 percent increase in federal research spending on other alternative energy sources. He also has proposed as much as $50 billion in federal loan guarantees for nuclear power plant construction, money he believes is needed because the private market is unwilling to assume the potential costs of a catastrophic accident.

Energy economists say that the president’s call in the State of the Union address for doubling the amount of electricity produced from cleaner technology by 2035 is designed to manipulate energy markets, forcing utilities to shift to the government’s preferred sources of energy on the government’s timetable, although leaving to them the choice of fuels.

A White House spokesman put it a bit more benignly. “The plan the president outlined would establish a clear goal for clean energy and let utilities achieve that in the most costeffective way possible,” the official said.

Obama’s policies encourage utilities to switch from coal to cleaner-burning natural gas to generate electricity, which simply substitutes one fossil fuel for another and helps subsidize

natural gas exploration and distribution. The president is also proposing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to develop technology to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants and oil refineries, another hidden subsidy for fossil fuels.

And, many environmentalists argue, every day that goes by without a policy to put a price on carbon emissions from all sources is a day in which the federal government subsidizes energy producers by socializing the long-term health and environmental costs of their products.

“My view is the country is better off on having a neutral playing field for all forms of energy,” said Douglas Koplow, founder of Earth Track, a group in Cambridge, Mass., that studies global energy subsidies.

“President Obama defines ‘clean fuels’ as natural gas, coal with carbon capture, nuclear,” Koplow said. “From my perspective, if you subsidize carbon capture and storage, that’s a big subsidy for coal. Nuclear is massively subsidized through a risk transfer from shareholders to ratepayers. It’s hard to justify these technologies that can’t make it on their own.”

“If we’re really concerned about greenhouse gases, we should deal with the problem and cap them,” he added. “Instead, politicians and lobbyists want to carve out policies for their own industries.”

Obama specifically proposes to eliminate roughly $4 billion a year in more than a half-dozen tax exemptions for oil and gas companies and an additional $200 million a year in preferences for coal. The tax breaks for oil have a long history — the so-called percentage depletion allowance for oil and natural gas wells dates to the 1920s — and have withstood repeated efforts to kill them.

The president proposed a

global end to such subsidies at the Group of 20 meeting in 2009, and while most nations endorsed the idea in theory, little has been done. And Obama will have a tough fight trying to get even these relatively modest proposals enacted over the objections of the oil and coal industries, who argue that such tax treatment is necessary to keep drillers drilling and miners mining.

“This is a tired old argument we’ve been hearing for two years now,” said Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil and gas industry’s main lobby in Washington. “If the president were serious about job creation, he would be working with us to develop American oil and gas by American workers for American consumers.”

Gerard noted that there was bipartisan opposition to lifting the tax breaks, adding: “The federal government by no stretch of the imagination subsidizes the oil industry. The oil industry subsidizes the federal government at a rate of $95 million a day.”

Michael Levi, an energy and climate change analyst at the Council on Foreign Relations, said calls for an end to energy subsidies missed a broader point: that embryonic energy technologies will need some government help to gain a foothold against the fossil fuel lobbies.

“I’d love to find a quick fix for America’s energy problems just as much as the next guy,” Levi wrote last week on his blog.

“I’d also be delighted to have a reason to cut subsidies, many of which are hugely wasteful,” he added. “But an effort to eliminate all energy subsidies without instituting better alternative policies should be understood for what it is: a recipe for cementing the dominance of traditional fossil fuels against their competitors.”

CENTRAL OREGON’S DISTRESSED SALES

JOHN STEARNS

The Oxford delivers in its first year

A

year ago last month, The Oxford Hotel opened in downtown Bend — and the city’s better off for it.

Its opening on Jan. 8, 2010, brought an upscale, boutique hotel — the city’s first with a AAA Four Diamond rating — within the city limits, providing another layer to the Bend lodging mix. Like an upscale restaurant, it provides an option for business and leisure travelers whose tastes lean that way — and the more options Bend can provide travelers, the more tastes it can satisfy. That’s a good thing for a tourism destination.

“There’s no doubt that the addition of The Oxford to the lodging mix in Bend has been a significant enhancement to our tourism industry,” said Doug La Placa, president and CEO of Visit Bend.

Prior to its opening, the city lacked “a truly modern and high-end lodging experience.”

It helps round out a lodging mix that includes the likes of the cozy Pine Ridge Inn, numerous chain-affiliated properties across various price points, the large Riverhouse Hotel & Convention Center and Mt. Bachelor Village Resort.

It seems to have struck a chord with travelers, too, judging by independent reviews on TripAdvisor, where 53 of 58 evaluations posted through Thursday were excellent and five were very good.

The property also has garnered a fair amount of press, including for its myriad environmental elements. That, too, helps get the word out about Bend and its offerings.

The Oxford opened during a difficult time for Bend and the nation, with the economy just six months out of a devastating recession. But General Manager Ben Perle said the 59-room property met its goals for the year.

Opening in January, during a typically slow period for the local hotel industry allowed The Oxford to ramp up operations slowly, get staff up to speed, allow marketing and public relations campaigns to gain traction and systems to solidify before bigger crowds started arriving Memorial Day weekend.

While occupancy was low in the trying first quarter, it only got better, said Perle, also a lodging representative on Visit Bend’s board of directors.

“We did better than expected in the months after that,” he said.

Perle pegged the property’s full-year occupancy in the mid- to low-60 percent range, with an average daily rate of about $150 to $160, all about what was targeted in year one.

The rate, or ADR as it’s known in the industry, is a critical piece, along with occupancy, in determining revenue per available room, or RevPAR, a key measurement of hotel performance. The Oxford, able to charge a higher price, gives other hotels, especially in summer when rates increase with customer demand, the ability to raise their prices, too.

“From a yielding standpoint, The Oxford Hotel now provides a clear premium lodging rate in Bend that the hotels can benchmark from,” La Placa said.

Before The Oxford, that was a benchmark Bend lacked, he said.

Rate matters for more than hotels. It matters for the city, too.

As the city’s ADR rises, so do taxes collected off rooms. That means more money for Visit Bend to market the city to tourists and for the city’s general fund, which can desperately use the money.

“For the city of Bend, it’s big business,” La Placa said.

In the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2010, total room-tax collections were slightly less than $3 million, 70 percent of which went to the city and 30 percent to promote tourism. This year, room taxes are on pace to hit about $3.3 million, La Placa said, approaching the peak of $3.42 million set in fiscal 2007-08.

Tom Penn, general manager of the Phoenix Inn Suites downtown, said The Oxford has benefited his property, too.

The two hotels have collaborated on accommodating about a half-dozen meeting groups that neither could handle alone, with the Phoenix typically providing additional rooms, Penn said. And in summer, when rooms at one hotel fill, each property can refer guests across the street. “We don’t have to send the guest far,” Penn said.

As Penn noted, The Oxford has added an edge to Bend’s hospitality industry.

And that’s good for everyone.

Houses selling, prices falling

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

W

hile the number of homes sold in Bend last year jumped about 8 percent from 2009, the median price of those sales fell about 10 percent, depressed by the volume of distressed sales — those involving foreclosures and short sales.

Distressed sales represented nearly 60 percent of 2,815 singlefamily homes sold in 2010 in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, Crook County and Sunriver, according to figures from the Central Oregon Association of Realtors.

Experts agree: The market cannot recover until the foreclosures and short sales work their way through the system.

But opinions differ on when it will reach that point.

“I think it’s always been dangerous to call the bottom of the real estate market,” said Tim Duy, director of Oregon Economic Forum.

Three experts — John Mitchell, an economist; Brian Fratzke, principal broker, Fratzke Commercial Real Estate; and Tom Greene, principal broker, Re/Max Key Properties — are scheduled to offer insights on the economy, and commercial and residential real estate, respectively, Feb. 14 at the 2011 Real Estate Forecast Breakfast (See “If you go” on Page G3).

Kathy Ragsdale, Central Oregon Association of Realtors CEO, believes the market has started an upswing, but it’s going to be a long, slow rise.

“It’s kind of the new reality for the foreseeable future,” she said.

Amid growth of renewables, coal fights to keep its share Dirty work of mining ‘clean coal’

By Diane Mastrull The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Nearly six miles into a Southwestern Pennsylvania coal mine, about 900 feet underground, two massive steel wheels ringed with carbide teeth chew chunks from a pitch-black wall.

A monstrous crusher smashes excavated rock — some pieces half the size of a car — under the white light of 12-volt halogen lights strung along the mine roof.

High along some of the state’s forested ridges, meanwhile, wind turbines churn, their sleek, 150-foot-long fiberglass blades slicing through air in a mesmerizing rhythm.

And between earth and sky, atop rooftops or planted in rows on farmland, framed panels of silicon angle upward like sunning butterflies.

In the battle for energy supremacy in Pennsylvania and around the country, these forces of nature — coal, wind, and solar power — are key combatants.

In January, the coal lobby gained what it considers a friend in the governor’s mansion: Tom Corbett, a native of Western Pennsylvania, where coal still pays the bills in thousands of households and underwrites community projects, and where a coal queen is crowned every year.

What that means for the state’s fledgling alternative-energy industries is not yet clear. But the stakes are high: energy-market share in a new era of electric deregulation and consumer choice and, as former Gov. Edward Rendell argued for years, Pennsylvania’s ability to re-engineer its economy to one more dominant in clean technology.

Portal No. 9 of the Cumberland Mine in Waynesburg, Pa. Mining in Pennsylvania employs some 7,000 people with an average salary of $65,000.

Ed Merriman / The Bulletin

Mary Howard, of Bend, is one of more than 25,691 Oregonians who have exhausted the maximum 99 weeks of regular and extended unemployment benefits without finding a job since the recession hit in December of 2007.

WAYNESBURG, Pa. — Never mind traffic and weather conditions. The commute for most people who work at the Cumberland Mine gets hairiest after they park their cars.

That’s when the coal miners, outfitted in safety boots, hard hats and emergency breathing apparatus, board a no-frills, steel-enforced elevator that lowers them 700 feet underground.

From there, they climb into tight, steel-plated, diesel-run railcars for a 45-minute ride through tunnels 16 feet wide and 8 feet high.

That is followed by a half-mile walk to the face, the area where coal is extracted. The trek is tricky, along a path strewn with rocks that intermittently tumble from the mine walls, or ribs.

Bend ‘99er’ shares story Mary Howard finds job search frustrating

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

Mary Howard worked all her life and earned enough selling real estate and home furnishings to purchase a home and save a tidy sum so she could travel and enjoy retirement. Then the recession hit, and all her plans began slipping away.

“I’m what they call a ‘99er,’” Howard said. “That’s what they call people who got laid off during the recession, used up their 99 weeks of unemployment benefits and still haven’t found a job.”

After reading about the latest unemployment reports, Howard questions whether the December listings of seasonally adjusted unemployment rates of 14.5 percent for Deschutes County, 14.7 percent for Jefferson County and 18.5 percent for Crook County include the 99ers like her who have run out of benefits. She believes the numbers are higher.

“I don’t know how the Employment Department would know whether I am unemployed or not.

I have had no contact with the Employment Department since my benefits ended,” Howard said.

Debate of extended warranties

By Gregory Karp Chicago Tribune

Today’s Super Bowl is big sporting event that provides a big excuse for consumers to buy a big-screen TV. While many consumers will spend hours researching the type of television they want, they may be blindsided at the cash register by the question of buying an extended warranty for the TV set.

The decision is not just for TVs. Extended warranties, also called service contracts, are offered on everything from cell phones and refrigerators to cars and homes.

Typically, an extended warranty lengthens, and in most cases overlaps, the manufacturer’s warranty.

It’s a huge business. Americans bought 250 million warranties in 2010, according to the Service Contract Industry Council.

“We continue to see the number of contracts sold nationally increase,” said Stephen McDaniel, a council spokesman.

‘Clean’ Continued from G1 There is nothing physically or emotionally easy about coal mining, where the work environment is clouded by flammable coal dust and ever-present concerns about methane levels and collapses.

The profession is largely foreign to most of Pennsylvania’s residents, who do not live within sight of active coal mines and whose only connection these days to the black rock — aside from ancestors who might have mined — is when they flip the switch and their lights come on.

Yet coal mining remains the backbone of some local economies in Western Pennsylvania, the job of choice for an estimated 7,300 in the state. Related industries, such as makers of mining equipment and shaft-construction contractors, provide work for 33,000 more. Together, they constitute 1.5 percent of Pennsylvania’s gross domestic product.

They have also provided more than a solid source of income for generations of families, such as Joe Mazur’s.

“You have a sense of pride doing this job,” said Mazur, 51, a fourth-generation miner in his 31st year doing work that,

Coal’s muscle Significant strides were made early in Rendell’s eight-year administration, with legislation mandating renewable alternative-energy use. But more recent efforts to build on that failed, largely because of resistance from the coal industry, the reigning source of power in Pennsylvania for more than 100 years.

Even today, the U.S. Energy Information Administration says, coal feeds 53 percent of the state’s electricity-generation needs, followed by nuclear power (35 percent), natural gas (nearly 9 percent), “other renewables” (1.3 percent), and hydroelectric power (1.1 percent).

On one side of the debate: the state’s still-thriving coal towns, largely in the southwest. On the other: former industrial regions, such as Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Allentown, which after decades of job loss see fresh economic opportunity. At a former U.S. Steel site in Bucks County, Pa., for example, a wind-turbine manufacturer employs 265.

But deregulation of the electricity market makes the battle relevant to all Pennsylvanians.

It has given them more choice over who supplies their electricity, and how much of it — if any — they want to come from alternative sources such as solar and wind power.

According to the Energy Information Administration, 15 states and the District of Columbia have deregulated electricity markets.

Already, the coal industry considers itself threatened by federal regulations aimed at reducing pollution and global warming — measures that could force utilities to shutter coal-fired power plants rather than invest in upgrades to meet stricter standards for carbon-dioxide emissions.

Yet coal’s might is still formidable, according to an April report prepared by the Pennsylvania Economy League of Southwestern Pennsylvania LLC for Families Organized to Represent the Coal Economy Inc. “The impacts of the coal industry reach across the entire state,” said the report, which offered these 2008 statistics: • Pennsylvania was the fourthlargest U.S. coal producer, with bituminous coal most of what is mined. (Anthracite mining faded when oil replaced it for home heating in the 1950s.)

• The coal industry was responsible for $7.5 billion, or 1.5 percent, of the state’s $500 billion gross domestic product.

• Nearly 9,000 people were directly employed in coal mining, with an additional 33,000 in industries that supply goods and services, including stores and other places where coal workers spend their wages.

• Pennsylvania’s mining-machinery and equipment-manufacturing industry accounted for more than a quarter of all those employed in that line of work nationwide.

• Exports accounted for about $1 billion, or 15 percent, of Penn-

one morning in September, had his face streaked with black as he maintained the hulking machines noisily gnawing at Cumberland Mine’s coal seam.

The mine operator, Alpha Natural Resources Inc., based in Abingdon, Va., estimates there are 101 million tons of recoverable reserves in Cumberland — conceivably enough to keep Mazur and 738 other employees who work the mine’s three shifts busy through 2024.

In 2009, the last year for which data were available, Pennsylvania extracted 65.5 million tons of coal from 244 mines, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

According to an April report prepared by the Pennsylvania Economy League of Southwestern Pennsylvania LLC for a coaladvocacy group, the average annual wage for miners in the state was $64,695 in 2007, the last year for which data were available. That exceeded the average for all private-sector industries in Pennsylvania by $21,750, the Economy League found.

Alpha says its average employee makes $70,000 a year.

Coal miners illuminate their way with headlamps as they walk the long passageways of the Cumberland mine in Waynesburg, Pa., on Sept. 9. sylvania’s coal orders — demand driven by Europe as coal producers in Germany and other countries increasingly sent their output to Asia, especially China.

Certainly, coal’s muscle has atrophied considerably since its heyday in the early 20th century, when demand from the U.S. steel and railroad industries seemed insatiable.

At World War I’s start, Pennsylvania coal was mined at a rate of 265 million tons a year, far more than the 65.5 million tons now extracted.

Those employed in coal mining topped 370,000 when excavation tools were mostly picks and shovels, rather than the computerized machinery that produces “far more tons with far fewer workers,” said Jon Wood, vice president of government and external affairs for Alpha Natural Resources, operator of 20 mines in Pennsylvania.

On the offense Technology has already meant fewer coal-industry jobs.

Now alternative forms of energy stand to threaten even more of them.

Corbett has said his energy plan includes renewable sources, but he has not provided specifics. His office did not respond to requests for an interview for this article.

The coal lobby’s political action committee — which donated a total of $4,000 to Corbett’s campaign in 2009 and 2010 and $142,796 to federal and state candidates from 2000 through 2010 — promises a renewed offensive to protect its turf.

Said George Ellis, president of the Pennsylvania Coal Association, the industry’s lobbying group: “All we’re asking for is a level playing field.”

Coal’s supporters argue that alternative-energy endeavors are still largely buoyed by state and federal subsidies.

Alternative-energy advocates counter that coal has had a lopsided advantage in the state for decades, aided by a coal caucus in the legislature during the 1980s.

A new caucus of 68 lawmakers was formed last spring, and “we look for it to be more of a visible

joked that Santa bringing coal to misbehaving boys and girls is no threat at his house.

“My kids think coal is a good thing,” he said.

So do the Pennsylvania businesses that serve the mining industry.

Among them is Bucyrus, an international manufacturer of surface and underground mining equipment with state headquarters in Houston, Pa. “It’s a big part of life on this end of the state,” said Thomas Vehar, project manager in Bucyrus’ longwall division, which makes customized systems for underground mining such as hydraulic roof supports, shearers, crushers, and conveyors. Some of its designs are at work in the Cumberland Mine.

As senior director of the Sierra Club’s Pennsylvania chapter, environmentalist Jeff Schmidt has a drastically different view of the coal industry. He sees the devastation it has caused to “people’s homes, drinking-water supplies, and surface streams.” And he sees little prospect for improvement, despite the claims of “clean coal.”

“There is no such thing as clean coal,” Schmidt said in an interview in his Harrisburg, Pa., office. “It’s not as dirty as it used to be, but it ain’t clean.”

force in the next session,” Ellis said.

That comes as no surprise to those in alternative energy.

“You’ve got entrenched interests with enormous amounts of capital to make sure they are the only game in town,” said Steve Buerkle, a Chester County, Pa., solar entrepreneur.

Actually, coal increasingly is not the only game in town.

An October report by the Solar Foundation, a nonprofit organization that funds research and education, estimated 6,700 solar jobs in Pennsylvania, with total U.S. solar-job growth forecast at 26 percent by the end of this year as solar power becomes more affordable.

According to the American Wind Energy Association’s 2009 annual report, more than 4,000 Pennsylvanians worked in the manufacture of wind turbines and component parts, ranking the state fifth in wind-energy supply-chain employment.

Energy “represents an opportunity in this region that can be bigger than the pharmaceutical sector. Everyone uses energy. Not everyone uses pharmaceuticals,” said Kevin Brown, a search-firm

executive and founder of Cleantech Alliance Mid-Atlantic, created two years ago to spur innovation and investment in alternative energy.

In an interview shortly before he left office, Rendell warned that if the state did not increase its alternative-energy mandates soon, “all of the economic development and growth that we’ve generated is in danger of being lost.” He noted that Pennsylvania’s neighbors had passed measures that exceeded its onceleading clean-energy standards.

Rather than fighting more robust-use requirements for alternative energy, Rendell said, the coal industry “should be looking to government to help them develop the technology to capture and sequester carbon.”

“If we can achieve that,” he said, “we are the Saudi Arabia of coal, and the coal industry will be the dominant economic driver in the next century.”

By state counts, 350,000 green jobs — including 205,600 in energy efficiency and 25,300 in renewable energy — were created during Rendell’s eight years as governor. Pennsylvania invested $1 billion in alternative energy during that time, plus $1.3 billion from federal and private sources.

But before serious money was spent, Rendell wanted to prove Pennsylvania was serious about building demand for alternative energy. In 2004, at his urging, the legislature made it one of the first states to enact alternativeenergy use requirements.

The law mandated that renewable and alternative sources serve at least 18.5 percent of Pennsylvania’s annual electricity requirements by 2021. (Current use is 14 percent.) To further cast the state as a player, in his last two years in office Rendell sought increases to those standards.

Resistance came from a variety of interests, including operators of power plants and the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. They, like the coal industry, viewed the measure as unfairly establishing a market for certain forms of energy to the detriment of others.

But the other opponents’ influence in the state pales when compared with coal’s.

Jack Trackemas, 49, is a third-generation miner. He has been working underground for 30 years, despite the efforts of his father — who lost a leg in a mine-roof collapse — to talk him out of it.

C OV ER S T OR I ES From previous page Trackemas is general manager of Cumberland Mine in Greene County, about an hour south of Pittsburgh, overseeing more than 700 workers whose primary job in the now-highly mechanized business is equipment maintenance.

He shrugs off suggestions that the mine’s danger and isolation should be a turnoff, saying, “Coming underground is like walking into a factory for us.”

A factory whose continued busyness seems assured. Energy-industry observers say an abundance of the black rock is yet to be unearthed, 10 billion to 20 billion tons of it in Pennsylvania alone.

Coal still has some major advantages. By one estimate, the cost of generating electricity with it — depending on factors such as transportation and labor costs — is $40 to $65 less per megawatt-hour than with solar photovoltaic panels, though $4 to $42 per megawatt-hour more than wind.

And its supply is more reliable: Coal does not have to wait for the wind to blow or the sun to shine.

Even cutting carbon-dioxide emissions at coal-fired power plants would require using coal.

“It will take about 15 percent more coal to run the CO2 capture equipment,” said Jay Apt, a technology professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.

Indeed, the coal lobby’s leader is among those who foresee no imminent demise for the industry, even as the drilling frenzy

Continued from G1 Nationally, a senior vice president at Realty Trac Inc. told The Associated Press that total foreclosures this year will top the record-setting 1 million the company counted in 2010.

Deschutes County recorded 3,764 notices of default last year, about 7 percent more than the 2009 total, according to Clerk’s Office data, and the total in 2009 represented an 82 percent increase over 2008. A default notice is the legal document that initiates foreclosure proceedings, but not all notices end in foreclosure.

But the number filed in Deschutes County in January dropped nearly 21 percent from December and represented the third-straight month of yearover-year declines.

will enter foreclosure this year, and the market will stabilize as distressed properties are sold.

Recently, however, Valerie Hunter, a principal broker who lists bank-owned properties, said the volume of foreclosures will remain high for another couple years.

“It’s going to keep going at the speed that it’s going at until 2013,” she said in late December.

Lenders will unleash the foreclosures they stopped late last year when they announced a foreclosure freeze following complaints they improperly verified documents, she said, and homeowners with five- and seven-year adjustable rate mortgag-

“This is a deregulated electric market,” Ellis said. “When you have a law that says you have to use a certain amount of electricity from a particular resource, that’s gross intrusion. We believe that should be driven by the market, driven by customer choice.”

That’s why the coal association supported the late-1990s law allowing deregulation.

“We felt the key motivation for consumers was going to be price, and with coal as the leastcost fuel, we felt we would be in

a comfortable position,” Ellis recalled.

To the industry’s horror, Rendell proposed use requirements for alternative energy a few years later. Just as they do now, coal advocates called the mandates unfair interference with the free market and initially opposed them.

But with the green movement in full bloom and passage of the standards all but certain, the coal association had a change of heart.

es also could add to the defaults when their loans reset.

Because of the drop in housing values, properties financed with the adjustable mortgages will likely be worth less than when the loans were secured. Even if the owner has the money, Hunter said, banks may not be willing to refinance on property that’s declined so far in value.

When it comes to declines in value, Bend’s rate has led the nation, or finished second, depending on the quarter.

In mid-2010, the Federal Housing Finance Agency reported the Bend Metropolitan Statistical Area, which covers all of Deschutes County, saw the largest drop in housing prices from first quarter 2009 to first quarter 2010.

At the end of September, the agency reported the Bend MSA saw the second highest one-year decline, 13.73 percent. The Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach, Fla., MSA ranked first.

For 2010, single-family homes in Bend sold for a median price of $191,000, the lowest since 2002, according to figures from the Central Oregon Association of Realtors.

But they are selling, at least if the buyers believe the price is right.

Of the 2,815 sales in the Realtors’ Association figures, almost three-quarters, about 73 percent sold for less than $299,000.

Jim Coon, principal broker with Alleda Real Estate in Bend, said some homes get two or three offers. Bargain hunters watch the Web and move when the price hits the right point, he said.

Sellers also need to understand the downward pressure distressed properties have had on the market. He heard a person say distressed properties cannot be used in market comparisons for property appraisals, which is not true.

It joined the stakeholder process that helped shape the law, motivated, Ellis said, by a pragmatic thought: “How could we help influence it in a way so there’s minimal harm to our industry?”

The answer was a provision in the law requiring the Public Utility Commission to review the alternative-energy standards, measure their impact, and report periodically to the legislature whether they should be increased.

Rendell’s attempt to raise those standards toward the end of his tenure was premature, Ellis said, since the last of the decade-plus-

house on the market, you need to price it (accordingly),” he said.

While some positive indicators have recently popped up in employment, manufacturing and retail, housing remains the sluggish sector, said Duy, the economist. He believes it will revert to its traditional place in the economy — a roof over one’s head and not an investment vehicle.

“People who are fascinated with housing need to find a new hobby,” he said.

long rate caps on electric utilities just came off Jan. 1.

Gamesa, a wind company whose U.S. headquarters are in Bucks County, was among the advocates for increasing the requirements.

That it didn’t happen before a new governor from coal country took office does not make Dirk Matthys, chief executive of Gamesa North America, particularly anxious.

Corbett’s energy plan includes renewables, Matthys said, and he “was gracious enough” to tour Gamesa’s Fairless Hills, Pa., plant while campaigning last summer.

Matthys also noted that his company has a wind-turbine plant in Western Pennsylvania, Corbett’s home turf. In all, Gamesa has created more than 800 jobs here, attracted to the state largely because the original alternative-energy standards were adopted.

Other states have since adopted more aggressive standards, a fact Corbett cannot afford to ignore, Matthys said: “Jobs and manufacturing are going to go where you have a better environment.”

Though not ready to say Gamesa would leave Pennsylvania if alternative-energy use requirements were not ramped up, Matthys said, “In the long term ... we need to look at the best options.”

The best option for the state, said Cleantech Alliance’s Brown, is for all energy sectors to adopt a philosophy that “it’s not either/ or. It’s got to be everything.”

‘99er’ Continued from G1 After nearly three years without success finding a job, she’s concluded too many people are chasing too few jobs at the Bend WorkSource Oregon office, so she is looking for work by networking, participating in community groups where she meets business owners and managers, and searching Internet job-listing sites.

A Feb. 1 article on the Employment Department’s website says Oregon’s unemployment rate calculation excludes people who conduct only passive job searches such as reading help wanted ads, marginally attached workers who want work but are not currently looking for work, and discouraged workers who are not working or looking for work because they believe no jobs are available.

Howard said she disagrees with those exclusions, even though they don’t apply to her, because leaving those people out of the count understates what she believes is the full depth of the economic downturn, and the number of people currently affected.

“I would like the general public to realize there are a lot of well-qualified people out here who are really looking hard for work — people who are ready, willing and able to go to work.

We have run out of benefits, not because we are lazy, but because there just aren’t enough jobs to go around,” Howard said.

Officials with the Oregon Department of Employment say 99ers generally are included in unemployment rates reported each month.

“The 99ers are still counted in the unemployment rate as long as they are still not employed, are available for work, and have recently made efforts to find work,” said Nick Beleiciks, an economist at the state Employment Department in Salem.

Beleiciks said state and federal officials conduct household surveys in an attempt to count unemployed individuals, including those who never applied for or received unemployment insurance benefits.

Anybody who has exhausted their benefits, including 99ers, is included in the survey.

Craig Spivey, public affairs specialist with the Employment Department, said 600 to 700 people statewide are exhausting their unemployment benefits each week, including an average of around 50 per week in Deschutes County and fewer than 10 each in Crook and Jefferson counties.

“The statewide total for exhaustions (number of people who have run out of the maximum 99 weeks of regular and extended benefits) is 24,691 through Jan. 26,” Spivey said.

Howard said this recession has been especially hard on baby boomers like her, who are approaching retirement age.

After making a good living as a high-producing saleswoman, it was tough for her to get by on the weekly unemployment checks, and things got worse after she ran out of benefits four months ago.

The Employment Department reported that unemployment checks average between $250 and $400 per week, depending on the individual’s employment contributions, which are based on wages earned.

Unlike any of the recessions Howard lived through since the 1960s, she said the recession that began in December 2007 hasn’t ended for 99ers and others who are still out of work, even though the recession technically concluded in June 2009.

The Employment Department

reported Jan. 24 that in December, Deschutes County had a civilian labor force of 80,483, with 11,788 listed as unemployed; Crook County had a labor force of 9,980, with 1,863 unemployed; and Jefferson County has a labor force of 9,085, with 1,375 unemployed.

“I don’t want to come off as pathetic, because I am not pathetic. I am concerned,” Howard said. “What we (baby boomers) had laid out and planned for all our lives is not what is happening.

“One of the sad things about this recession is that a lot of skills and talents of people with experience and excellent work histories are going to waste,” Howard said.

“I’m a very positive person.

I always think things will get better, but this is the worst time I’ve seen in my life for people being out of work and losing their homes,” said Howard, who lives in the Skyliner Summit development in west Bend.

“I see so many people like me who have run out of benefits, then their savings runs out and they lose their homes,” Howard said, hoping that she doesn’t get to that point.

“I was a design consultant.

It was a high-end sales position where I helped people plan the interior decor and furnishings for new homes they were building,” Howard said of the last job she had with a home-furnishing company.

“In 2008, they laid off everyone,” she said.

Howard declined to give her age, out of concern it might jeopardize her ability to get hired by a potential employer.

“I’m at an age where it’s difficult to recover from losses,” Howard said. “When you’re young and have your whole life ahead of you, then you can look forward to higher salaries and you can recover, but when you have to change careers toward the end of your career, salaries tend to be lower, and you don’t have enough years left to make up for what you’ve lost.”

During the 99 weeks when she was collecting regular and extended unemployment benefits, Howard said she actively searched for jobs, and applied for job after job on Internet job sites with no success.

“I was very active in the community. I was out and about, networking and knocking on doors, but nobody had a job for me,” Howard said.

Now it’s getting more difficult to hold onto her positive attitude with so many rejections to jobs, many of which are still advertising openings a year and two years after she applied to no avail.

After her unemployment benefits ran out, Howard decided to create her own job walking dogs and providing other services such as transporting dogs to veterinary appointments. She posted her flyers at senior centers, schools, medical offices, restaurants, pet stores and other places in hopes of picking up some customers, but nobody called.

Meanwhile, the balance in her retirement accounts, which were already decimated by the recession and stock market decline, shrinks a little more each month, she said.

Warranty Continued from G1 Despite their apparent popularity, service contracts are generally panned by consumer advocates. Their advice: Just say no to buying extended warranties.

Consumer Reports, for example, doesn’t recommend buying them in any product category. It regularly calls them “notoriously bad deals.”

“It’s a very expensive insurance policy that doesn’t give you much bang for your buck,” said

Focusing on extended warranties for electronics, here’s what you need to know to make an informed decision.

WHAT CONSUMER ADVOCATES SAY:

WHAT THE WARRANTY INDUSTRY SAYS:

• Most products don’t break during the warranty period. If they malfunction right away, they’re covered by a store return policy or manufacturer warranty.

• The cost of the warranty is almost as much as the cost of a repair. So, buying a warranty is like paying for most of a repair, whether you need one or not.

• You can self-insure by setting aside the same money in a repair fund. If the item doesn’t break, you get to keep the money.

• As a general rule, you shouldn’t buy insurance for little things, only for financial disasters. If a repair cost won’t wreck your finances, you probably don’t need the coverage.

• Some higher-tier credit cards will extend the manufacturer warranty for free if you purchase the item with the card.

• The benefit of a warranty is mitigated if you have to pay a deductible.

• A warranty might call for replacement with a refurbished unit, not a new one.

• The extended warranty usually starts when you buy a product, largely duplicating the manufacturer warranty for some length of time.

• You know warranties are a bad deal for consumers because electronics retailers make a huge share of their profits from them.

• Warranties extend your protection, providing peace of mind for typically 10 to 20 percent of the cost of the item. If a warranty costs more than that, make sure there’s a good reason, Stephen McDaniel, Service Contract Industry Council spokesman said.

• Extended warranties usually offer service and protection a manufacturer warranty does not. That includes inhome repair or replacement, generally quicker turnaround for repairs, around-the-clock and weekend technical support, coverage for damage caused by power surges and the ability to transfer the warranty.

• If you regret buying a warranty, you can cancel, typically within 30 days, for a full refund, not a prorated one. That applies in most states, McDaniel said.

• Repair prices are often more expensive than warranty costs. An LCD television costing $550 would typically have a service-plan cost of $55 to $110, while the cost of repairing a main system board, for example, might cost $375, according to the SCIC. •A self-insure repair fund is a good idea, but, as a practical matter, consumers won’t set aside money for repairs.

• Some extended warranties cover accidents. As electronics become smaller and more portable, there will be more dropped laptops and cell phones in the toilet.

Manufacturers typically don’t cover accidental damage.

Warranty advice exceptions Consumer Reports softens its stance on extended warranties in a couple of instances. One is for Apple computers. It might be worth getting a warranty, not so much for repair coverage but to extend Apple’s excellent telephone technical support, which it provides for only 90 days, said Mark Kotkin, director survey research at Consumer Reports National Research Center. An extended warranty lengthens that to two or three years.

Another exception is if the warranty is very inexpensive relative to the cost of the item it protects. Kotkin gave the example of a $50 warranty on a large-screen plasma TV, which might sell for $600 to $800. That leads to a corollary: Extended warranty prices are often negotiable. Surveys show consumers are very successful at haggling, he said.

A final concession is that Consumer Reports surveys show that retailers and manufacturers generally honored extended warranties, Kotkin said.

How ‘content farms’ beat Google search B y Rob Pegoraro The Washington Post

Google can give you free long-distance calling and provide driving, walking, transit or bicycling directions to almost anywhere in the world.

But can it find information on the Web when you ask?

The Mountain View, Calif., company has made an unusual confession: It’s having some trouble with its original and primary task.

As my colleague Michael Rosenwald writes (GOOGLEBING, moved Wednesday), Google’s reputation for uncanny accuracy has been dulled by “content farm” sites that game its search system to boost the visibility of pages many readers say they don’t want.

Google search engineer Matt Cutts’ Jan. 21 blogpost acknowledged their complaints: “We hear the feedback from the Web loud and clear: people are asking for even stronger action on content farms and sites that consist primarily of spammy or low-quality content.”

It’s easiest to see this problem if you search for a review of a product or instructions on how to do something and find yourself looking at dozens of irrelevant results that don’t answer your question or that rip off another site’s work.

There’s not much point in getting too mad at these sites.

They’re simply following a prime directive of the commercial Web: Get people looking at your site, then use advertising — often placed through Google’s services — to transmute that traffic into money.

Meanwhile, plenty of writers, photographers, videographers and editors are willing to accept minimal perproduct payments to crank out a large volume of posts that match up with common Google searches.

As one result of this dynamic, Yahoo paid $100 million for a content mill named Associated Content in May. The best-known company in this category, Demand Media, staged its initial public offering recently and closed that day with a higher market

value than New York Times Co. Both sites would dispute the content-farm categorization, and I’ve seen each publish useful information. But I’ve also read plenty of dreck at these sites, and there’s no disputing their business model of mass-producing content to fit, Lego-like, with search terms.

In essence, Google has unintentionally been teaching to the test — and some of its students have learned all too well.

As Rosenwald’s article suggests, this opens up an opportunity for social-networking sites that connect people with trusted, knowledgeable friends to beat Google at its own game. But by requiring your identity to work, they incorporate privacy and security risks.

It will not be a healthy development for the Web if finding useful data online requires a username and password.

Google competitors such as Microsoft’s Bing and smaller rivals such as the community-curated Blekko or the data-oriented Wolfram Alpha have an excellent opportunity to do a better job of connecting people to information they need - not just pages that try to look useful.

But Google will have to become a little pickier too, as Cutts’ blog post suggests it will. And as that happens, Google may run into a second problem: “search neutrality.”

The notion carries a lot of builtin ridiculousness. Web search is inherently an editorial act — and not an easy one, either. You’re asking a site to sift through about a trillion pages and find the ones most relevant in less than a second. The whole point of search is to exercise bias against things judged to be less relevant.

Now you start it (remotely), now you don’t; what to do?

By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Q:

The Washington Post

The 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5S sedan is one of many offerings in a crowded market long dominated by the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry. Thoroughly redesigned in 2010, the 2011 Altima offers an interior that feels as if it belongs in a much more expensive car.

The Altima demands notice in packed family sedan field

By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

I had five hours to think. That’s how long it took to drive seven miles from downtown Washington to my home in Northern Virginia.

The culprit was a fast, fierce winter storm. It struck at the beginning of the evening rush hour, around 4 p.m., dumping several inches of heavy, wet snow that turned loR E V I E W cal roads into skating rinks.

Vehicles of all makes and prices were sliding into one another.

Traffic was a stalled mess.

First thought: Snowstorms are the enemies of driving fantasy.

I had just come from a preview of the 2011 Washington Auto Show at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center — a glistening display of more than 700 new cars and trucks from 32 manufacturers. The show, which opened to the public over the weekend, runs through Feb. 6.

I’m addicted to car shows.

This exhibit, sponsored by the Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association, has long been one of my favorites.

It’s an odd mix of regional, international and federal inputs — the latter occasioned by the show’s location in the nation’s capital, which, through government-mandated safety, fueleconomy and clean-air regulations, has a big hand in designing every car and truck sold in this country.

Second thought: Snowstorms are why the Obama administra-

2011 Nissan Altima 2.5S Sedan Base price: $22,070 As tested: $24,610 Type: The Nissan Altima is a compact front-engine, front-wheel-drive gasoline-fueled car with four side doors and a traditional notchback trunk, also available as a coupe. Trim levels include the base 2.5, mid-level 2.5S and top-of-the-line 3.5SR. A hybrid Altima (gas and electric) is available.

Engine: The car comes with a standard 2.5-liter, 16-valve direct-injection in-line four-cylinder engine with variable valve timing and lift (175 horsepower, 180 foot-pounds of torque). It is mated to a continuously variable (no fixed gears) automatic transmission.

Mileage: 23 mpg city, 32 mpg highway tion’s dream of 1 million battery electric vehicles on U.S. roads by 2015 is likely to remain a dream long beyond 2015.

I spent my five hours in the comfortably warm and entertaining cabin of this week’s subject automobile — the compact, front-wheel-drive 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5S sedan, equipped with a 2.4-liter in-line, direct-injection four-cylinder gasoline engine (175 horsepower, 180 foot-pounds of torque). I thanked God that I was not in the batteryelectric Nissan Leaf.

All around me, there were cars and trucks with traditional internal-combustion engines running low on gasoline and diesel fuel, a rush to empty quickened by mad mashing of accelerator pedals, spinning wheels on icy roads, going nowhere. But the likelihood of finding a refueling station to replenish those vehicles was far greater than hooking up an electric car to a quick-recharging station, especially in the snow.

Third thought: Honda and Toyota make two of the best compact family sedans in the

world, the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. But Honda and Toyota are losing their grip. The new Nissan Altima, thoroughly redesigned in 2010, proves it. If more proof is needed, it can be found on the floor of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center at the Hyundai, Kia, Ford and Chevrolet exhibits.

There has been a reinterpretation of formerly bread-and-butter family sedans that Honda and Toyota have missed, or at least seem not to understand.

Sitting inside the 2011 Nissan Altima 2.5S, for example, is akin to sitting in a substantially more expensive car. Unlike the Altima sedans of the past, the new model looks and feels rich — better materials, world-class fit and finish, lots of infotainment electronics, truly attractive design.

There is a deliberate attempt to exceed customer expectations in the outfitting and overall presentation of the Nissan Altima 2.5S. Comparable models of the Chevrolet Malibu, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima all make a point of offering more

Loosening a stuck shift-lever button

By Paul Brand Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Q:

Since it’s been cold, I’ve had difficulty pushing in the button on the shift lever on my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It starts fine, but I have to sit for at least four minutes before I can get that button pushed in. I’m concerned that someday I won’t be able to get it pushed in at all — and I’ll be stuck somewhere. Any thoughts?

Maybe finger curls to strengthen your fingers?

According to my Alldata automotive database, “shifting out of park should not be possible while applying 25 pounds max. handle push-button force, and ignition

A:

key cylinder is in the run or start positions, unless the foot brake pedal is depressed approximately one-half inch.” So you must push firmly on the brake pedal with the ignition on to allow the shift mechanism to shift out of park.

Try a spritz of aerosol lubricant around the button to help flush any grease, debris or sodapop residue out of the button assembly. You might also have to remove the shift console cover to clean and lubricate the shift interlock cable assembly.

The problem could also be binding in the cable itself or the interlock cable cam and slider at the ignition switch. Try turning

the key to the “on” position without starting the vehicle, push the brake pedal firmly, and while trying to push in the shift-lever button, wiggle the ignition key around in the “on” position to see if the slider releases the cam and cable. If so, this is the area that needs cleaning and lubrication.

car than the consumer expects to get for the price paid.

Honda and Toyota, justifiably proud of their long-standing reputations for quality and reliability, seem content to rest on their laurels with the Accord and Camry — selling vanilla design and feel when rivals are selling hip and attractive for the same money.

Final thought: The Altima 2.5S is a well-balanced automobile that handles excellently on roads dry and messy. On several occasions, I could have sworn that the front-wheel-drive car was equipped with all-wheel drive.

It slipped a bit but self-corrected and pulled through icy stretches that sidelined many more expensive cars, including a few with all-wheel drive.

The remote starter will not always work on my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Usually it will not work first thing in the morning, when I need it most. I took it back in for service and they put in a module in the ignition, but that did not do the trick.

The manager is going to talk with the tech again, because no one seems to know what to do.

Now when the car does start remotely, it shuts off when you put the key in the ignition, and you have to start it again. It never did that before they changed the part in the ignition. Do you have any ideas I can give them?

Remote start is a finicky system because it has many safeguards. I counted 31 likely reasons for the system to deny or cancel the start/engine run function. Possible culprits are a door, lift gate or hood left ajar, or a switch incorrectly indicating such; low or high battery voltage; faulty communication with the key fob; and quite a few others. Once the engine starts, the system will also shut off the engine if you fail to insert the key within 60 seconds, if you press the brake or shift from park, if engine speed increases above 2500 rpm, if an engine warning indicator comes on, and so on.

Fortunately, Chrysler does a great job in their service literature indicating the nuts and bolts of the system and the appropriate diagnostic steps to resolve problems. A scan tool is needed to check for proper and improper inputs and diagnostic trouble codes. You also need a very sharp technician to know what things to check, interpret the test information, and ex-

A:

ecute an appropriate diagnostic strategy and repair.

One helpful clue: the parking lights and horn. If you see the parking lights flash and horn briefly beeps during a failed remote-start attempt, the signal between the key fob and vehicle was successful, and the fault is likely onboard.

If the lights and horn don’t respond, it’s possible the fob is faulty, that the needed two-press button sequence was incorrect, or that the fob is out of range.

Fobs usually work at a maximum of 300 feet, and less if there are obstacles. There could also be a problem with the remotestart antenna, its connection to the wireless ignition node, or the node itself.

It sounds like you have two situations. Your observations during the frequent starting denials will be helpful to the technician. Do the lights and horn respond? Does the denied start occur with just one fob or others? Could there be conflicting radio frequency signals occurring from nearby household devices? Are the fob batteries fresh and the terminals clean?

It will likely be necessary to leave the Jeep overnight at the shop so the tech can personally encounter the no-start symptom.

The engine shut-off situation may also require some patience on your part, until the tech encounters enough incidents to track down the 31 possible causes. My hat is off to him or her.

How did Latin become a “dead” language?

—Abigail Woodbury, Brookline, Mass.

Many people would say that Latin is alive in the form of French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish, which were once its dialects. Nevertheless, it is called dead because it’s no longer anyone’s native tongue.

As the Roman Empire declined, the dialects became languages of their own.

However, today Latin itself is experiencing a surge of popularity in schools. One reason could be J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, which is full of Latin spells. Now it’s the language of magic.

Dee Hart F

DEE HART started

playing football at age 3, when he would tag along with his older brothers and their friends in Avon Park, Fla. “I like the excitement and adrenaline,” he says. “Sometimes I don’t like the calls, but that’s the beast of the game—you get used to it and you play.”

In his senior year at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando, he rushed for 2,224 yards and set the state single-season touchdown record with 50. Dee, also named the U.S. Army National Player of the Year last month, doesn’t mind the stress that comes with his impressive stats: “My uncle always told me, ‘Pressure breeds titans,’ so I don’t get caught up in it.”

Dee is committed to Alabama for next season and is already thinking about life after college—which right now doesn’t necessarily include the NFL. “I’m thinking bigger than that. I want to own football, own the team,” he says.

WIDE RECEIVER SAMMAMISH, WASH. HEIGHT: 6'2" WEIGHT: 210 LBS

leading parade’s list is our Player of the Year, Kasen Williams, an 18-year-old wide receiver from Sammamish, Wash.

Kasen, who likes The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (but isn’t a fan of video games), credits his father, Aaron—a former receiver for the St. Louis Cardinals— with passing along his passion for the game.

Kasen plans to attend his parents’ alma mater, the University of Washington, next fall. And he’s even hoping to wear the No. 2 jersey, the one his father wore as a receiver for the Huskies from 1979 to 1982. “It’s going to be me Visit us at PARADE.COM

following in his footsteps,” Kasen says. “I know he’s going to be happy seeing me doing the exact same thing he did.”

Making it onto the PARADE All-America list “means a lot, especially coming out of Washington,” he says. “We have a lot of talent up here, but it’s not a big football state nationally.”

Kasen was one of only two Washington players invited to play in the U.S. Army AllAmerican Bowl last month in San Antonio, Tex., a national all-star game for high schoolers.

Kasen spends most of his time in Sammamish, a Seattle suburb, playing sports and

hanging out with friends.

Small-town life has its advantages: “It gives me the opportunity to focus on football.

There aren’t a lot of things that can get you off track.”

In his four years on varsity at Sammamish’s Skyline High School, where he’s also a

track-and-field star, Kasen played in four state championship games—and his team won three.

Kasen is a career record-holder at Skyline, with 232 receptions, 4,121 yards, and 56 touchdowns.

This season he broke singleseason numbers in all three stats, with 86 receptions, 1,579 yards, and 21 touchdowns.

“The records he set—I don’t know if they’ll ever be broken,” says Skyline head coach Mat Taylor.

Kasen believes he’ll continue his streak at Washington. “I feel like I’m hitting there at the perfect time,” he says. “After the season they had, and knowing that every year under Coach F February 6, 2011 • 7

Viliami Moala’s uncles told him. His family, which emigrated from Tonga to California about 20 years ago, had long considered rugby the real sport. But five years ago, Viliami’s older brother Sione, a defensive end at Grant Union High School in Sacramento, changed all that.

The defensive tackle ended his senior season with 16 sacks and 128 tackles. To Viliami, the game provides the ultimate adrenaline rush: “I enjoy it—like when it’s fourth and 1, and you have to get that stop.” At 6 feet 3 and 335 pounds, he has earned the nickname “Tiny” from his team. “I’m not that fast, but I have brute strength.”

One song that pumps him up for the game: Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the U.S.A.”

“That gets me going. I got my teammates hooked on it,” Viliami says, laughing. “Now it’s a weekly routine before we practice. We put it on and I dance a little bit.”

With the season over, he’s savoring senior year. He plans to attend UC Berkeley next fall but says, “I don’t know if I’m ready to graduate yet. Too much love, especially for the cafeteria ladies. They always sneak me extra plates of food!””

He’s also not ready to move out of his family home, where he lives with his parents, grandparents, and five siblings—“the best supporters I have.”

A was WHEN KYLE BRINDZA

born with a club foot, doctors told his parents he would never be able to play contact sports sports.

But even after enduring seven operations on his right foot by age 12, he persevered. “I worked to get all the strength back in my leg and go out and play,” the Michigan resident recalls.

A year after his last surgery, Kyle’s efforts paid off, and he joined a local club

soccer team. Once Plymouth High School football coach Mike Sawchuk heard about Kyle’s powerful leg, he recruited the freshman to be the new varsity kicker. And playing both sports turned out to be easier than Kyle expected. “There were a lot of tweaks I had to make to my kicking, but my power was always there. I willed myself to become the best I could possibly be.”

The 18-year-old is now the top kicker in Michigan, finishing his senior year with 19 field field goals and an average of 45 yards per punt. Next up: playing for Notre Dame this fall.

“I love facing adversity,” Kyle says. “When people put the odds against me, I always want to throw them back in their faces and say, ‘I accomplished everything you said I couldn’t.’ ”

the sport that made him a star both on and off the field. The 80-year-old NFL Hall of Famer went from a dazzling career with the New York Giants to Monday Night Football, where he was a commentator for more than two decades (in fact, he’s still featured on ESPN’s Monday night broadcasts). Here he shares memories and game-day menus with Jeanne Wolf.

wealthy, but they also get hounded by people who want to take advantage of them. They have to learn to deal with that.

Do you feel Michael Vick was treated fairly?

I think people ought to get over it and let Vick put his life back together. What he did was wrong, but people need to think about what kinds of influences he was subject to as a kid. Frankly, I think he’s one of the best ever to play the game, and I said that before he got into the dog trouble.

during the Super Bowl today?

If you want to understand more of the game, you stay home and watch it on television. So I’ll be with a close-knit group of friends, making sure we don’t run out of hot dogs and grilling my special cheeseburgers. I’ll probably eat three or four hot dogs myself. I’ve never been able to duplicate the ones you get at a game, though. I’ve asked over and over where they get them, and they won’t tell you.

You were one of the commentators for the first Super Bowl, weren’t you?

Yes, and a lot of people then thought that the idea of a Super Bowl was ridiculous. It wasn’t even sold out.

Of course, it became the premier TV sports event. No one I know would miss it, except [laughs] maybe Kathie [Lee Gifford, his wife].

With us it wasn’t that big a deal. I was the Giants’ No. 1 draft pick in 1952, and the only reason I joined the team was that I had just gotten married and we decided it would be fun to spend a year in New York. Today, some of the players are so great that they stand out a lot more than when I

played, especially quarterbacks like the Mannings and Brady. But after them, the playing goes down a notch. That may make some of the others mad at me, but it’s true.

What about the challenge of being a star player?

They’re getting paid a lot more than I did. They’re enormously

Tell us about the Monday night when your broadcast team had wh to break the news of John Lennon’s death.

Le We were doing a game in Miami, W and our producer came on and said, “You’re not going to believe this, but somebody just killed John Lennon. We gotta go with it.” And I said, “We’re not going with it until we make sure.” Earlier that year somebody had called the booth and said someone else had been shot, and when we called him back it was a wrong number. Those things could happen.

So I said, “You get ahold of Roone S Arledge,” head of ABC Sports, and Roone got on the phone and said [it was true]. It shattered me. I told Howard [Cosell], “What you’re about to say is gonna rattle the world for a long time to come.” Because to him, you know, John Lennon was just one of those Beatles.

But Howard was terrific. I replayed it the other day, and I thought we handled it really well.

Ingrid’s Tips

Calling All Chocoholics!

Singer Ingrid Michaelson has found the cake of her dreams

I’m a chocoholic. A few years ago, I had a flourless chocolate soufflé cake at a restaurant and thought, This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my entire life.

I went home and found a similar recipe online. It looked easy, but when I made it for a party it came out of the oven a brown, sunken-in, not-very-appetizing thing.

Flourless Chocolate Cake “This is so easy! It’s always the biggest hit at parties.”

7 oz really good (45–50% cocoa) semisweet chocolate 3/4 cup butter 1 cup sugar, divided 4 eggs, separated

1. Preheat oven to 300°F. Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Stir together half the sugar and four yolks; add to melted chocolate concoction.

2. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites; slowly add remaining 1/2 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.

Fold mixture into chocolate.

Pour into a greased 9-inch cake pan.

3. Bake 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs on it. Cool 30 minutes before removing from pan.

Dust with powdered sugar.

Everyone else brought along beautiful frosted cakes and fancy desserts—and there sat my lump of brown nothingness. But once people tried it, it was gone in seconds.

Since then, I’ve made one every single year. And each time someone says, “Okay, what’s this?” and then, “Oh my God! What is this?”

P “To make individual servings, substitute nine ramekins or small oven-safe coffee cups and bake 30 minutes.”

P ”You’ll need a good 10-speed mixer to beat the egg whites into nice stiff peaks that will make the cake light and fluffy— unlike my first attempt, when I used a very old mixer.”
