Munchkin Manor

Deschutes County.

The deal came with a few catches. It had to give first dibs on open slots to county employees and pass on its rent savings to all families that enroll children there. The county also limits how much the center can raise fees each year to 5 percent.

The county has about two dozen tenants operating on its property, and Munchkin Manor is one of the few that pay no rent.

Operating in a rent-free space may be a sweet deal, but it did not draw much interest from local child care centers when the county made the offer seven years ago. Back in 2004, when the county issued a request for proposals, only two centers replied. Munchkin Manor, a forprofit business, won the deal over another center, which soon went out of business. The center

opened in the summer of 2005 and recently signed a five-year extension on the space.

Sue Bauer, the center’s owner, said the deal has allowed her to keep costs low and remain afloat.

“I’m making it,” Bauer said. “If I had to pay rent, I wouldn’t make it with the rates.”

Bauer estimates her rent at the building, which sits across from the Deschutes County administration building, would cost her at least $2,000 per month. With about 45 children in her center, that equates roughly to a savings of about $43 per child per month.

Bauer’s rates are about $50 below local averages. In 2010, according to an Oregon State University survey, the median price in Deschutes County for toddler care at a center was $645 per month. At Munchkin Manor, where rates

Skyline Forest deal at an impasse Landowner wants to build more units, but LandWatch says no

By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — The ballyhooed Skyline Forest preservation deal of 2009 appears no closer to reality than it was two years ago. If anything, it may be further away.

Two years Sisters 126 ago, environmentalists and a BLM land real estate company agreed on legislation that would allow the 20 preservation of Tumalo most of Skyline Skyline Forest in exForest change for per32,957 mission to build acres 282 dwellings Bend in the northern k e e r C part of the propalo D E S C H U T E S Tum erty. Thanks to 46 N ATION A L environmental97 FOREST ists’ support, the Andy Zeigert / The Bulletin law exempted the landowner from normal land use rules despite the vociferous objections of the Association of Oregon Counties, which called it a dangerous precedent.

Now, however, the deal appears at an impasse.

The landowner, Cascade Timberlands, says it needs more development rights to make the deal work financially.

Records show risks to water in new gas drilling method

By Ian Urbina

Harriman St.

CAIRO — Moammar Gadhafi sounded a resonant warning, exhorting his dwindling supporters toward civil war.

“At the appropriate time, we will open the arms depots so all Libyans and tribes will be armed,” he shouted into a handheld microphone at dusk Friday, “so that Libya turns red with fire.”

Inside That is in• Chaos, deed the fear barricades of those watchand bread ing the carlines in the nage in Libya, capital, not least because Gadhafi Page A2 spent the last 40 years hollowing out every single institution that might challenge his authority. Unlike neighboring Egypt and Tunisia, Libya lacks the steadying hand of a military to buttress a collapsing government. It has no parliament, no trade unions, no political parties, no civil society, no nongovernmental agencies. Its only strong ministry is the state oil company. The fact that some experts think the next government might be built atop the oil ministry underscores the paucity of options.

The worst-case scenario should the rebellion topple him is that of Afghanistan or Somalia — a failed state where al-Qaida or other radical groups could exploit the chaos and operate with impunity.

“Al-Qaida is always poised to take advantage of opportunity that presents itself — that’s why it has survived so long,” said Bruce Hoffman, director of the center for peace and security studies at Georgetown University.

At Growing Tree Children’s Center, of Bend, full-time care for a 2-year-old child is $650, according to director Tammy Rundle.

When the county released its RFP in 2004, Growing Tree decided against responding for several reasons, Rundle said.

The space was small, she said, an assessment with which Bauer agrees. And because of the requirement to pass savings on to families, Growing Tree would have kept its existing location open and so would have had two locations with different pricing structures, according to Rundle.

The American landscape is dotted with hundreds of thousands of new wells and thousands of drilling rigs, as the country scrambles to tap into this century’s gold rush — for natural gas.

The gas has always been there, of course, trapped deep underground in countless tiny bubbles between thin layers of shale rock. But drilling companies have only in recent years developed techniques to unlock the enormous reserves, thought to be enough to supply the country with gas for up to a hundred years.

So energy companies are clamoring to drill. And they are getting rare support from their usual sparring partners.

For children with baffling illnesses, a dose of regular life

By Tara Bahrampour The Washington Post

In the bright, airy atrium, an Argentine boy and a Jamaican boy watch, transfixed, as a boy from Utah plays on an Xbox. A Ukrainian family sits down to

an early dinner while a British teenager rummages in the refrigerator for a snack as the smell of Caribbean chicken curry wafts overhead.

All are enjoying the normal trappings of family life. At the same time, they are

painfully conscious of life’s fragile thread.

This looks like a posh summer camp, complete with pool tables, basketball court, arts room and Wednesday night bingo games. But the “camp” is on the grounds of the Children’s Inn at the Na-

tional Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. And the children have some of the world’s most rare and mystifying diseases that have led their hometown doctors to throw up their hands in despair.

In Libyan capital, long bread lines and barricades

By David D. Kirkpatrick New York Times News Service

TRIPOLI, Libya — A bold play by Col. Moammar Gadhafi to prove that he was firmly in control of Libya appeared to backfire Saturday as foreign journalists he invited to the capital discovered blocks of the city in open defiance of his authority.

Witnesses described snipers and anti-aircraft guns firing at unarmed civilians. Many people said security forces were removing the dead and wounded from streets and hospitals, apparently in an effort to hide the mounting toll.

But when government-picked drivers escorted journalists on tours of the city Saturday morning, the evidence of the extent of the unrest was unmistakable.

Workers were still hastily painting over graffiti calling Gadhafi a “bloodsucker” and demanding his ouster. Just off the tour route were long bread lines where residents said they were afraid to be seen talking to journalists.

And though government forces dominated the city center — with heavily armed checkpoints staked out downtown while orange-suited cleanup crews were out in force around the central Green Square — there were signs of defiance in other neighborhoods, where the streets were blocked by makeshift barricades of broken televisions, charred tree trunks and cinder blocks left over from protests and street fights the night before.

At the birthplace of the revolt in the eastern city of Benghazi, a group of senior military officers who had defected were forming a council to lead their troops against Gadhafi’s forces.

One of them, an air force general, said three air bases had defected to the rebels, along with the region’s military police.

And the rebels said they were in the process of forming an interim government to oversee the areas no longer under Gadhafi’s control.

It is expected to include Mustafa Mohamed Abd al-Jalil, a former Justice minister who quit to join the insurrection and may now assume the role of interim prime minister.

“The temporary location of the government will be Benghazi, until the liberation of Tripoli,” said Iman Bugaighis, a spokeswoman for a coalition of anti-government activists.

But so far, the protesters say, the rebel force heading for Trip-

Key tribal chief wants Yemeni president gone New York Times News Service SANAA, Yemen — One of Yemen’s most prominent tribal sheiks resigned from the ruling party Saturday and called for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down, posing one of the most significant challenges yet to the Yemeni leader, an American ally who has struggled for more than two weeks to quell a popular revolt.

The defection of Sheik Hussein al-Ahmar ratcheted up concerns that the antigovernment protests, which started mainly as a youth movement against the president’s 32-year rule, could take a more violent and unpredictable turn.

A few tribal chieftains had already weighed in against Saleh, but al-Ahmar comes from a different branch of the same northern tribal confederation, the Hashids, as Saleh, so his decision to turn on the president is likely to be more destabilizing.

“The president is in a very tenuous position,” said one senior Yemeni official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of his post. “I don’t think he has ever faced a crisis like he is now.”

The official noted that tribal support was often fungible — it can go to the highest bidder.

Secret CIA files could help Chile prosecute past crimes

Moises Saman / New York Times News Service

A man carrying bread Saturday walks past improvised barricades set up by protesters in Tripoli, Libya. An increasingly gruesome picture has continued to emerge of the violent tactics used by Col. Moammar Gadhafi to quell protests in the Libyan capital, with several witnesses confirming that forces loyal to the government had been using anti-aircraft guns against crowds. oli has been stymied at Surt, a Gadhafi stronghold on the coastal road where his tribe is concentrated.

In Tripoli, home to nearly 2 million of Libya’s roughly 61⁄2 million people, Gadhafi and his special militias have unleashed enough firepower that it may enable them to keep a firm grasp on the city for some time.

His plainclothes police and uniformed security forces appeared in control of most of the city’s largely deserted streets.

There were unconfirmed reports that he was following through with his threats in a speech this week to distribute weapons to his supporters, raising vexing questions about just how the standoff might end.

Clearly, both the rebels and Gadhafi appear to have the will and the wherewithal to fight on for some time.

In a late-night news conference Friday for journalists assembled in the luxurious Rixos Hotel, where food was plentiful, the younger Gadhafi, dressed in a dark zip-up sweater, acknowledged for the first time the extent of the rebellion, confirming reports that rebels had control of Zawiyah and Misurata, despite a concerted effort over the last two days to dislodge them.

U.N. refers Libya to war crimes court UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Saturday night to impose military and financial sanctions against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and his inner circle and to refer his regime’s crackdown on protesters to a war crimes tribunal for an investigation of possible crimes against humanity.

The move came as President Barack Obama for the first time called on Gadhafi to step down, deepening the Libyan leader’s international isolation as he struggles to contain a revolt that threatens his 41-year rule. It also marked the first U.S. vote in support of a Security Council referral to the International Criminal Court, which the United States has not joined.

Speaking by phone with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Obama said that “when a leader’s only means of staying in power is to use mass violence against his own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now,” according to a White House account of the

conversation. The statement brings U.S. policy in line with the position that European leaders adopted several days ago.

Obama had taken a more cautious approach, in part because he feared that hundreds of Americans in Tripoli could be in danger if he called for regime change. Those diplomats and other citizens have now been evacuated.

In a statement Saturday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. would work with others to provide humanitarian assistance to Libyans in need. “We will continue to look at the full range of options to hold the Libyan government accountable and support the Libyan people,” she said.

“Moammar Gadhafi has lost the confidence of his people, and he should go without further bloodshed and violence.”

The hardening U.S. position came as Gadhafi’s renegade U.N. envoy endorsed a draft Security Council resolution Saturday that would impose a range of military and financial sanctions on the Libyan government and authorize the International Criminal Court to investigate.

— The Washington Post

SANTIAGO, Chile — Survivors of Gen. Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship are hoping Barack Obama’s visit next month will lead to the release of more classified U.S. documents that could be critical to prosecuting the Chilean agents responsible for torturing and killing leftists decades ago.

They say the U.S. president’s visit should also encourage their own government to make good on its promises to deal more forcefully with the darkest period in Chile’s political history.

Of all the Latin American countries that have shaken off dictatorships, none has made greater strides than Chile in convicting those responsible for torturing and killing political opponents.

The U.S. has helped by declassifying huge troves of documents revealing what it knew about the Sept. 11, 1973 coup — Chile’s own 9/11 — and the bloody crackdown that lasted through the 1980s.

But more documents remain classified, and in the files made public, names were redacted, so hundreds of investigations remain stymied.

Authorities are under particular pressure from the daughters of two presidents whose deaths remain shrouded in mystery — Salvador Allende, who was said to have committed suicide as Pinochet’s troops seized the presidential palace in 1973, and his predecessor Eduardo Frei Montalva, allegedly poisoned during routine hernia surgery in 1982, when he was a leading critic of the dictatorship.

“Precisely because there has been such a radical change in the politics of the United States that we believe in the human rights (policies) of President Obama, this is the moment — if he’s coming to Chile he can receive the official requests and petitions,” Carmen Frei, daughter of Frei Montalva, told Chile’s Radio Cooperativa.

Indiana curbed union power, but was it a success?

By Steven Greenhouse New York Times News Service

MADISON, Wis. — Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and other officials who are pushing to eliminate or weaken collective bargaining by government employees say their goal is to save millions of dollars and increase government’s flexibility to run its operations.

The experience of Indiana, where Gov. Mitch Daniels eliminated bargaining for state employees six years ago, shows just how much is at stake, both for the government and for workers.

His 2005 executive order has had a sweeping impact: no raises for state employees in some years, the elimination of seniority preferences and a far greater freedom to consolidate state operations or outsource them to private companies.

Evaluating the success of the policy depends on where you sit.

“It’s helped us in a thousand ways. It was absolutely central to our turnaround here,” Daniels said in an interview. Without union contracts to slow him down, he said, it has been easy for him to merge the procurement operations of numerous state agencies, saving millions of dollars. One move alone — outsourcing and consolidating food service operations for Indiana’s 28 prisons — has saved the state $100 million since 2005, he said, although such moves led to hundreds of layoffs.

For state workers in Indiana, the end of collective bargaining also meant a pay freeze in 2009 and 2010 and higher health in-

Day care

surance payments. Several state employees said they now paid $5,200 a year in premiums, $3,400 more than when Daniels took office. Earlier in his tenure, Daniels adopted a merit pay system, with some employees receiving no raises and those deemed to be top performers getting up to 10 percent.

Andrea Helm, an employee at a children’s home in Knightstown, Ind., said that soon after collective bargaining was ended and the union contract expired, coveted seniority preferences disappeared. “I saw a lot of employees who had 20, 30 years on the job fired,” she said. “I think they were trying to cut the more expensive people on top to make their budget smaller.”

Union officials say that collective bargaining provides workers with important protections against retaliation, age discrimination and management decisions that sometimes change with the political winds.

Though he supports Walker’s proposals, Bob Ziegelbauer, county executive of Manitowoc County and an independent state assemblyman, voiced fears about an increase in unjustified dismissals, especially of more senior workers, if the legislation passes.

“I’ve talked to many teachers and public works employees in my county,” he said, “and almost every conversation comes around to the impact on their seniority and their concerns that their boss doesn’t like them and they won’t be treated fairly, and frankly I think there’s something to that.”

Continued from A1 “We just decided that wasn’t the best way to go,” Rundle said.

That its deal with the county allows Munchkin Manor to charge less is an advantage for the center, Rundle said, which is able to offer some wider benefits. The lower rates mean that a few more families are able to work and send their children to reliable day care.

“There are people out there that are struggling, and (lower rates) allow them to go to work,” Rundle said.

Cynthia Hurkes, communications manager for the Oregon Child Care Resource & Referral Network, agrees that even a slightly lower-cost center can benefit a community. Parents have struggled to pay for child care and work full-time during the economic downturn.

Hurkes had not heard of the county arrangement before.

“I’m surprised,” Hurkes said.

“That’s a huge social program to offer.”

Others benefit from the arrangement, too. Mary’s Place, a local nonprofit, uses Munchkin Manor during evening and weekend hours for supervised visitation between parents and children.

Munchkin Manor’s arrangement is not unique only to Deschutes County, but also in the region. Companies sometimes offer subsidized child care or on-site centers for employees, according to Patty Wilson, a child care resources program manager at NeighborImpact, a nonprofit network of social services. Wilson had not heard of a similar deal between a government and private child care center.

“Anything Congress does to undermine economic recovery would be very troublesome to us,” National Governors Association Chairwoman Chris Gregoire said Saturday.

Governors warn U.S. against burdening states

By Dan Balz The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Leaders of the National Governors Association called on Congress and the Obama administration Saturday to avoid doing anything that could further strain their fragile economies, warning that the states are already overburdened and that additional strain could threaten the broader recovery.

“This is a critical time, where the states are facing $175 billion shortfall in the next two years,” Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire, a Democrat and the NGA chairwoman, said at a news conference at the start of the annual gathering. “Anything Congress does to undermine economic recovery would be very troublesome to us.”

With battles over budgets and public-employee union powers raging in Wisconsin and several other states, the governors sought to set aside partisan wrangling and issue a common message that what Washington does in the coming months will have far-reaching consequences. Congress has made clear in recent days that it intends to sharply reduce spending on a variety of domestic programs, many of which would impact the states, and many GOP freshmen are insisting on even deeper cuts than their leaders.

Gregoire and the NGA’s vice chairman, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman, a Republican, who also appeared at the news conference, have conveyed their concerns about the cuts to congressional leaders.

Unlike those company-sponsored centers, Munchkin Manor is open to the public. The agreement requires the center to offer first pick to county employees and to state employees who work in county-owned property, but everyone pays the same rate. The center has never been more than half-filled by children of county or state employees, according to Susan Ross, the county’s property and facilities director.

When the county decided to offer the deal, it had long wanted to provide child care for its employees’ families near downtown. Through the deal, the county could also help open a cheaper child care center for the general public.

“When we did this, it wasn’t just because we wanted to provide day care for employees,” Ross said.

Munchkin Manor is full, and its new lease is a sign that it has done well. Despite that success, no one has called the county since the original RFP to inquire about competing for the space, Ross said. On almost every other deal — from window washing to paper supply — competitors call to find out when a county deal will end.

When the child care RFP drew little interest, the county made calls to individual centers after it had sent a letter to each one it knew of.

“We always knew it would be a long-term relationship, and we wanted it to be,” Ross said.

“You can’t just change day care providers every two years.

You need that continuity, that stability.”

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

Skyline Continued from A1 The local environmental group that signed off on the original deal, Central Oregon LandWatch, says it’s not interested. Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, says he’s ready to introduce legislation to make any new deal a reality — as soon as someone tells him that a deal has been cut.

The uncertainty is a problem for the nonprofit Deschutes Land Trust. The trust, which acquires land for conservation purposes, was in line to buy the Skyline Forest under the law passed in 2009.

The group even applied for and received $4 million in federal grant money to help buy the land.

The first grant, worth $1.5 million, expires in March 2012; the second, worth $2.5 million, expires in April 2013.

With 13 months to close a deal before his group loses its first grant, Brad Chalfant, executive director of the Deschutes Land Trust, said that with no firm deal, his group has largely been unable to raise private funds to complete the purchase. The uncertainty “has been a real problem for us,” he said.

The history of Skyline Forest dates to 2006. That’s when Fidelity National Timber Resources bought more than 250,000 acres in Oregon after another firm declared bankruptcy. That purchase included the roughly 33,000 acres northwest of Bend.

In 2007, then-Bend Rep. Chuck

Burley spearheaded a bill to enable the formation of nonprofit community forests to prevent habitat and logging areas from being turned into subdivisions.

The Deschutes Land Trust began working to make Skyline just such a forest to preserve a prominent portion of Bend residents’ scenery.

In 2009, Whisnant and Rep. Judy Stiegler, D-Bend, worked to get a law passed to make Skyline a reality. Under the bill, Cascade, a subsidiary of Fidelity, could build in a small portion of Skyline in return for stripping its development rights off a large swath of forest that would be sold to the trust.

Now, however, Cascade has determined that it would need more units of housing to make the deal work financially, said the company’s lobbyist, Linda Swearingen, a former Deschutes County commissioner.

She said the company’s agreement to 282 units was a “shot in the dark,” saying the firm hadn’t had time to research the economics when the 2009 legislation arose.

Swearingen declined to confirm or deny the number of units that the company is seeking, though it is pegged by others as being between 500 and 800. In exchange, the company would sell an even larger area of land — the size of which she refused to discuss.

She said the desire to expand the development is “based on the fact that to develop the site will be extremely expensive.”

At the time of the 2009 deal,

Central Oregon LandWatch made numerous concessions ranging from the number of units to whether the lighting of the Skyline development would be designed to face downward to better preserve starry nighttime views for residents of Bend.

And Paul Dewey, the acting director of the group, said his board is not in the mood to make further concessions.

“Our position is that a deal’s a deal: We came to a deal in 2009, and we don’t see any need to change that deal,” he said. “I certainly haven’t been authorized by

Continued from A1 Accompanied by their families, they come here in a last-ditch effort to be saved. Their treatment is paid for by NIH, which spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year developing trial therapies of the type that these children participate in. Despite this access to cutting-edge research, many children ultimately die of the diseases that brought them to Bethesda.

The Inn offers the families 59 private rooms that connect to common playrooms, kitchens and lounges, including an oversize fireplace that gives the 72,000-square-foot facility the feel of a ski lodge.

Each year, about 1,500 children and young adults check in, and many find themselves forming tight friendships with other families.

“This woman from Russia, her son has the same thing our daughter has,” said Sam Pauani of Newburgh, N.Y., who for two years has been coming to the Inn with his 3-year-old daughter, Quinn, so she can be treated for a rare inflammatory disease.

“We’ve met people from India, Russia, Australia. Everyone’s kind of in the same boat: Either the doctors (at home) don’t know what’s wrong, or they can’t do anything.”

Families from the United States tend to stay for shorter periods, returning as necessary for additional treatment and monitoring.

International visitors, who make up 10 percent of the families, stay longer, in part because of the expense and difficulty of traveling. For them, the Inn becomes their home in America.

When Benjamin Lopez and his parents arrived at the Inn from Chile three years ago, the boy, now 5, was so sick that Chilean doctors had given up hope of stopping the infectious abscesses ravaging his brain, lungs and bones. Afflicted with a rare immune system disorder, he could not walk or talk.

During their time at the Inn, Benjamin’s family has become adept at helping newcomers adjust.

“When you see a family come and seem totally lost, you go help them, and if you speak their language, you tell them that they’re not the only ones going through this and that they are safe here,”

Attack shuts down Iraqi oil refinery BAGHDAD — Gunmen shot their way into Iraq’s largest oil refinery early Saturday, setting off explosions that forced the facility to shut down, officials said.

The attack occurred about 150 miles north of Baghdad in the city of Baiji, known as an insurgent stronghold. Four guards and an engineer were killed.

The refinery is expected to remain shut down for two weeks, officials said. It produces gasoline for cars and fuel for power plants, and its shutdown could cause major headaches for the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, already under pressure from a gathering protest movement demanding better services.

3 killed by bomb at Afghan sporting event KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicide bomber detonated Saturday in a crowd in northern Afghanistan gathered for a traditional sporting event, killing three and injuring 40.

Saturday’s attack was another in a series across the country in which civilians were targeted, as Afghan forces prepare to take over security responsibilities from U.S.-led international forces.

“Some participants identified the attacker and started fleeing, but still the attacker was able to detonate his vest,” said the governor of Faryab province, Abdul Haq Shafaq. Had spectators not fled, “a big catastrophe could have happened,” he said.

In a separate incident Saturday, nine civilians were killed in the southeast province of Khost, which borders Pakistan, according to an Interior Ministry statement. Two women and four children were among the dead after their vehicle struck a land mine, the statement said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the Faryab attack, but the governor blamed the Taliban.

Benjamin Lopez and his father, Cristian, fool around at Woodmont House near the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., while Ada Ivette Polo Vega, left, and Alejandra Lorca, Benjamin’s mother, make dinner. Jesibeth Rodriguez, right, is also staying in the house, which is for families that stayed at the Children’s Inn and whose children are in stable condition. Benjamin arrived at the NIH facility three years ago after Chilean doctors gave up hope of treating his rare immune system disorder. said his mother, Alejandra Lorca.

Politics, religion and language are no barriers. Teens seek out other teens, including a tall, gregarious Jamaican who befriended a shy, diminutive Nepali with the same blood disorder. Besides listening to indie rock and reggae together, the two got their bonemarrow transplants at the same time and recovered in adjoining rooms. Families have grown close during trips to museums, baseball games, cherry blossom viewing and a Tina Turner concert.

They also connect over the fear of death. “Families are dealing with it every day,” said Meredith Carlson Daly, the Inn’s media-relations manager. Often, a treatment does not work and a family returns home to make the child comfortable; occasionally, a child dies at NIH. In each case, the families are acutely aware of one another’s suffering.

Many of the children handle the specter of dying with astounding grace.

“Kids are often more willing to face that than parents are,” Daly said. “Adults often have a very hard time facing coming to the end. Kids are often the most heroic. They understand that they

might not make it, but they know that by being here, they can maybe help other kids not go through what they went through.”

Still, she said, “it’s really difficult, especially because there are bonds that are formed. One family, the kid was not doing well, and the manager on duty got word that the child had passed away. All of a sudden, above them they heard a thud, and the manager ran upstairs and one of the girls who was friends with the family and was wheelchairbound had gotten up out of her chair to hug the mother, and the thud was her falling.”

Families from different cultures have different approaches to mourning and consolation.

“Families from the U.S. tend to go more into themselves and draw upon their own families, while international families really tend to pull together, maybe because that’s all they have,” said Jennie Lucca, director of facilities and resident services at the Inn. Over the years, the Lopezes have watched other families take their children home to die. When that happens, “we feel pained and sad, and maybe it comes to our minds that our treatment, too, could fail,” said Cristian Lo-

pez, Benjamin’s father. “But in another way, I have told families that by coming to NIH, we can take comfort in knowing we have done everything we possibly can.”

They also have helped researchers develop treatments for future patients. Since the Children’s Inn opened in 1990, NIH has developed treatments that have substantially improved the survival rate for diseases including childhood AIDS and Burkitt’s lymphoma.

The Lopez family is returning to Chile next week. It is, they know, a miracle. Although Benjamin is an energetic boy with a delighted smile, he walks with a limp, faces learning and physical delays, and probably will take antibiotics for the rest of his life. But his progress has surprised even his doctor.

In December, his family moved to Woodmont House, a new offcampus facility for children who are in stable condition and don’t need the more-intensive services of the Children’s Inn. Recently, they shared lunch there with Carlos Diaz Flores and Ada Ivette Polo Vega, whose son Edgardo, 26, is being treated for lymphoma, with an uncertain prognosis.

Vega made flan and beans and rice, which they added to roast chicken and appetizers from a restaurant.

For the better part of two years, the families have supported each other. Now, the Lopezes were preparing to return home while Edgardo lay in the hospital.

Vega, a teacher in Puerto Rico, spoke optimistically of the day when the families would visit each other in their home towns: “It will be a wonderful experience to meet later to look back on all this.”

But for now, it was time for goodbye. Lopez said he could barely stand to say that word.

“We are leaving people who are very close to us,” he said. “They are people we really love, like family. It’s more than a friendship.

We’ve suffered with them, we’ve lived with them, we’ve cried with them. It’s strange, because you want to go home, but on the other hand, you’re leaving these people you’ve been so close to, to continue fighting, continue suffering.”

The Oscar for Best Picture rewards ... what, exactly?

Gas Continued from A1 Environmentalists say using natural gas will help slow climate change because it burns more cleanly than coal and oil. Lawmakers hail the gas as a source of jobs. They also see it as a way to wean the United States from its dependency on other countries for oil.

By Ann Hornaday The Washington Post

There are a few things Oscar fans will be able to count on when they tune in tonight. At least one starlet will wear an oh-no-shedidn’t frock. One production number will appall. And at the very end of the night, a few beaming producers will be clutching the Oscar for Best Picture and surprisingly few people — onstage, in the audience or watching at home — will be able to say precisely why they’ve won.

Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences began conferring awards in 1929, the Best Picture category has remained something of a mystery. Is it meant to reward technical excellence? Artistic vision? Commercial success? Cultural resonance?

Just what makes a movie the very best of its year is still a conundrum, even to the more than 6,000 industry professionals who vote on it. To some, it’s a popularity contest; to others, it’s a snapshot of the zeitgeist. Some voters see it as a measure of which little-filmthat-could had the most inspiring back story that year.

“I don’t think there is a definition of what a Best Picture is, and that’s why there are surprises at the Oscars,” said producer Hawk Koch, the Academy’s treasurer.

“Best Picture is a movie that moves them. Best Picture is a movie that teaches them something they had no idea they didn’t know. Best Picture is a movie that they … talk about incessantly. Best Picture can be a movie that you walk out of feeling like you’re walking on air and you’re singing the songs.”

Razzie Awards The night before the Oscars, the 31st annual Razzie Awards dished out honors to the “Berry Worst Achievement in Film” for 2010.

The big “winner” at the satirical ceremony Saturday evening was M. Night Shyamalan’s critically skewered 3-D fantasy film, “The Last Airbender.” The Oscars are tonight.

The Bulletin

Environmental risks But the relatively new drilling method — known as high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing, or hydrofracking — carries significant environmental risks. It involves injecting huge amounts of water, mixed with sand and chemicals, at high pressures to break up rock formations and release the gas.

With hydrofracking, a well can produce over a million gallons of wastewater that is often laced with highly corrosive salts, carcinogens like benzene and radioactive elements like radium, all of which can occur naturally thousands of feet underground. Other carcinogenic materials can be added to the wastewater by the chemicals used in the hydrofracking itself.

While the existence of the toxic wastes has been reported, thousands of internal documents obtained by The New York Times from the Environmental Protection Agency, state regulators and drillers show that the dangers to the environment and health are greater than previously understood.

The documents reveal that the wastewater, which is sometimes hauled to sewage plants not designed to treat it and then discharged into rivers that supply drinking water, contains radioactivity at levels higher than previously known, and far higher than the level that federal regulators say is safe for these treatment plants to handle.

Other documents and interviews show that many EPA scientists are alarmed, warning that the drilling waste is a threat to drinking water in Pennsylvania. Their concern is based partly on a 2009 study, never made public, written by an EPA consultant who concluded that some sewage treatment plants were incapable of removing certain drilling waste contaminants and were probably violating the law.

But the EPA has not intervened. In fact, federal and state regulators are allowing most sewage treatment plants that accept drilling waste not to test for radioactivity. And most drinking-water intake plants downstream from those sewage treatment plants in Pennsylvania, with the blessing of regulators, have not tested for radioactivity since before 2006, even though the drilling boom began in 2008.

In other words, there is no way of guaranteeing that the drinking water taken in by all these plants is safe.

The risks are particularly severe in Pennsylvania, which has seen a sharp increase in drilling, with roughly 71,000 active gas wells, up from about 36,000 in 2000.

New York Times News Service ile photo

A natural gas drilling operation’s wastewater, which can contain radioactive contaminants, corrosive salts and carcinogens like benzene, is transferred from a holding pond to a truck outside Pittsburgh. ground drinking-water supplies in at least five states, including Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia, and residents blamed natural-gas drilling.

Air pollution caused by naturalgas drilling is a growing threat, too.

Drilling companies were issued roughly 3,300 Marcellus gas-well permits in Pennsylvania last year, up from just 117 in 2007.

This has brought thousands of jobs, five-figure windfalls for residents who lease their land to the drillers and revenue for a state that has struggled with budget deficits.

It has also transformed the landscape of southwestern Pennsylvania and brought heavy burdens.

Anywhere from 10 to 40 percent of the water sent down the well during hydrofracking returns to the surface, carrying drilling chemicals, very high levels of salts and, at times, naturally occurring radioactive material.

While most states require drillers to dispose of this water in underground storage wells below impermeable rock layers, Pennsylvania has few such wells. It is the only state that has allowed drillers to discharge much of their waste through sewage treatment plants into rivers.

Regulators have theorized that passing drilling waste through the plants is safe because most toxic material will settle during the treatment process into a sludge that can be trucked to a landfill, and whatever toxic material remains in the wastewater will be diluted when mixed into rivers.

But some plants were taking such large amounts of waste with high salt levels in 2008 that downstream utilities started complaining that the river water was eating away at their machines.

Overwhelmed, underprepared For proof that radioactive elements in drilling waste are not a concern, industry spokesmen and regulators often point to the results of wastewater tests from a 2009 draft report conducted by New York state and a 1995 report

by Pennsylvania that found radioactivity in drilling waste was not a threat. These two reports were based on samples from roughly 13

But the monitor in the Monongahela is placed upstream from the two public sewage treatment plants that the state says are still discharging large amounts of drilling waste into the river, leaving the discharges from these plants unchecked and Pittsburgh exposed.

Part of the problem is that industry has outpaced regulators.

“We simply can’t keep up,” said one inspector with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection who was not authorized to speak to reporters. “There’s just too much of the waste.”

“If we’re too hard on them,” the inspector added, “the companies might just stop reporting their mistakes.”

Recently, Pennsylvania has tried to increase its oversight, doubling the number of regulators, improving well-design requirements and sharply decreasing how much drilling waste many treatment plants can accept or release. The state is considering whether to require treatment plants to begin monitoring for radioactivity in wastewater.

Problems elsewhere There were more than 493,000 active natural-gas wells in the U.S. in 2009, almost double the number in 1990.

Around 90 percent have used hydrofracking to get more gas flowing, according to the drilling industry.

Gas has seeped into under-

gas wells in New York and 29 in Pennsylvania.

But a review by The Times of more than 30,000 pages of federal, state and company records relating to more than 200 gas wells in Pennsylvania, 40 in West Virginia and 20 public and private wastewater treatment plants offers a fuller picture of the wastewater such wells produce and the threat it poses.

Most of the information was drawn from drilling reports from the last three years, obtained by visiting regional offices throughout Pennsylvania, and from documents or databases provided by state and federal regulators in response to records requests.

Among The Times’ findings: • More than 1.3 billion gallons of wastewater was produced by Pennsylvania wells over the past three years, far more than has been previously disclosed. Most of this water — enough to cover Manhattan in three inches — was sent to treatment plants not equipped to remove many of the toxic materials in drilling waste.

• At least 12 sewage treatment plants in three states accepted gas industry wastewater and discharged waste that was only partly treated into rivers, lakes and streams.

• Of more than 179 wells producing wastewater with high levels of radiation, at least 116 reported levels of radium or other radioactive materials 100 times as high as the levels set by federal drinkingwater standards. At least 15 wells produced wastewater carrying more than 1,000 times the amount of radioactive elements considered acceptable.

Industry officials say they are not concerned.

“These low levels of radioactivity pose no threat to the public or worker safety and are more a public perception issue than a real health threat,” said James Grey, chief operating officer of Triana Energy.

Three months after The Times began asking questions about radioactive and other toxic material being discharged into specific rivers, state regulators placed monitors for radioactivity near where drilling waste is discharged. Data will not be available until next month, state officials said.

sylvania sites where there have been accidents in the past year found that these state-approved plans often appear to be in violation of the law.

“There are business pressures” on companies to “cut corners,” John Hanger, who stepped down as secretary of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection in January, has said.

“It’s cheaper to dump wastewater than to treat it.”

Records back up that assertion.

From October 2008 through October 2010, regulators were more than twice as likely to issue a written warning than to levy a fine for environmental and safety violations, according to state data. During this period, 15 companies were fined for drilling-related violations in 2008 and 2009, and the companies paid an average of about $44,000 each year, according to state data.

This average was less than half of what some of the companies earned in profits in a day and a tiny fraction of the more than $2 million that some of them paid annually to haul and treat the waste.

And prospects for drillers in Pennsylvania are looking brighter.

In December, the Republican governor-elect, Tom Corbett, who during his campaign took more gas industry contributions than all his competitors combined, said he would reopen state land to new drilling, reversing a decision made by his predecessor, Edward Rendell.

The change clears the way for as many as 10,000 wells on public land, up from about 25 active wells today.

ACUPUNCTURE

Answer: This winter has proven to be a difficult cold and flu season. Acupuncture is an effective way to strengthen your immune system when you Kym Garrett, are not sick and is a great way to speed up your L.Ac. recovery if you become sick. In our clinic we see many patients on a regular basis before cold and flu season starts to help boost their immune systems and then continue to see them on a monthly basis to keep their immune systems strong during the winter months. Strengthening your immune system does not happen over night; so the best option is to begin treatment during the fall, well before cold and flu season begins. However, in the event that you do get sick, getting acupuncture treatment during the first 24-48 hours of a cold or flu can decrease the amount of time you may suffer with the symptoms. Acupuncture can stimulate the body to clear the cold or flu virus from your system. If acupuncture alone is not enough, we have an entire Chinese herbal pharmacy with multiple formulas that can strengthen the immune system and treat cold and flu symptoms. Also remember that getting plenty of sleep, anywhere from 8 to 9 hours per night, and avoiding sugar, which can weaken the immune system, are two good ways to stay healthy this winter.

ANSWER: If you have unwanted hair, you have probably encountered some or all of the temporary methods of hair removal like shaving, laser hair removal, tweezing, threading and waxing (which is mass tweezing). Depending on what you have been doing to the hair depends on how long it Tana Anderson will take to get rid of the hair permanently. If you Licensed have been tweezing or waxing, the hair is probably Electrologist getting stronger and deeper each time you tweeze, especially on the chin, neck and upper lip. Tweezing stimulates the blood supply because you are injuring the follicle, and blood rushes to that area to heal the injury. In doing this you have created an environment ready to grow more hair.

WELLNESS QUESTION: I’ve heard diabetes management is important. Why is that?

ANSWER: Managing diabetes is very important, because there can be many negative effects on health if it’s not properly managed. Diabetes is actually a group of diseases that affect the body’s ability to convert sugar into energy. The main types of the disease are Type 1 and Type 2.

Winona Phelps, Some of the symptoms may seem harmless at RN first, and because of that the disease can go undiagnosed until complications become apparent. Symptoms include extreme fatigue and irritability, thirst, hunger, weight loss, frequent urination, and tingling in the hands and feet.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease. Management strategies include becoming more active, losing weight, controlling the diet, and taking medications. Vision problems, neuropathy (nerve damage) of the feet, skin infections and breakdowns, hearing loss, and kidney problems are a few of the complications.

PHYSICAL THERAPY QUESTION: I recently had a car accident. I sustained only a minor whiplash. My headaches and neck discomfort are reducing, but I am still feeling tired, and I cannot seem to sleep enough to feel refreshed.

Worse, I feel like I cannot concentrate or focus my thoughts, as if my thinking is “fuzzy”. This is scaring me. What is going on?

ANSWER: Firstly, our condolences to you on your accident! What you are experiencing is caused by stress. The fact that you had an accident is naturally stressful, and some of your symptoms are caused by stress, and in turn they themselves cause stress…

When experiencing stress the body releases a hormone called cortisol, which controls “fight or flight” reactions. This is functional for a short period of time. If high cortisol levels are maintained, side effects occur, including sleep disturbances, changes in thought clarity and diminished ability to focus on tasks.

At Healing Bridge Physical Therapy we have therapists who specialize in reducing these symptoms and training patients in self management of their stress levels. We can aid in the treatment and understanding of the effects of both the stress and the injuries caused by the accident.

QUESTION: I have an upper denture and I hate it. I feel like I cant taste my food as well and it makes me gag. Is there anything that can be done to improve this?

ANSWER: It is true that having an upper denture will decrease your ability to taste your food. Covering of the palate will also have a negative impact on your olfactory senses as well, meaning you will not smell your food as well either. With a decrease in Kelley Mingus, D.M.D. taste and smell it is impossible to enjoy your food as much as before.

Gagging due to an upper denture is also a common problem. Pressure on the soft palate can cause some people to have an enhanced gag reflex. Shortening the denture isn’t always an option because it causes a reduction in retention.

The good news is that technology now allows us to remove the palate from a denture. The placement of four to six implants can allow us to attach a denture to implants eliminating the need for a palate.

The result is improved taste, smell and retention. It used to be that implants and a denture without a palate were out of reach for most people, but fortunately things change and it is now a possibility for everybody.

FA M I LY M E D I C I N E QUESTION: I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and my doctor has advised “major changes” in my life including stricter goals for cholesterol, blood pressure, and diet. Why is it that the goals have changed?

ANSWER: Diabetes is an extremely complicated disease that effects your body adversely in many different ways. The most serious complications include blindness from diabetic retinopathy, heart attacks Kevin Reuter, and strokes from damage to your arteries, and kidM.D. ney failure from diabetic nephropathy. Thus, patient’s with diabetes are considered “high risk” when speaking of cholesterol goals, blood pressure goals, and dietary goals.

Because of this, your cholesterol levels need to be lower, your blood pressure must be controlled very tightly, and your diet must change to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed. Current American College of Endocrinology guidelines call for blood pressure values of 120/80 or less, LDL cholesterol values of 70mg/dL or less, and a Hemoglobin A1C value of 6.5% or less. I recommend that all new diabetic patients see a diabetic dietician for advice about diet and they need to see me initially every three months for fasting labs to monitor their progress and answer any questions that they may have. I would advise that you see your doctor at least this frequently during this critically important time after your new diagnosis.

Libya

A unit of paratroopers that defected to the rebels celebrates atop a military vehicle Saturday at its base in Benghazi, Libya. Should Col. Moammar Gadhafi fall, “It is going to be a political vacuum,” says Lisa Anderson, president of the American University in Cairo.

Continued from A1 He noted that jihadist groups associated with al-Qaida in the 1990s presented the greatest threat to Gadhafi’s secular revolution. “Of any of the Middle Eastern countries that have experienced these uprisings, in my analysis Libya is by far the most fertile ground.”

Contenders for ruling authority But there are others who could step into any vacuum, including Libya’s powerful tribes, or a pluralist coalition of opposition forces that have secured the east of the country and are tightening their vise near the capital.

Optimists hope the opposition’s resolve persists; pessimists worry that unity will last only until Gadhafi is gone, when a bloody witch hunt will be joined.

“It is going to be a political vacuum,” said Lisa Anderson, the president of the American University in Cairo and a Libya expert, suggesting that chances are high for a violent period of score-settling. “I don’t think it is likely that people will want to put down their weapons and go back to being bureaucrats.”

There is a short list of Libyan institutions, but each has limits.

None of the tribes enjoy national reach, and Gadhafi deliberately set one against the other, dredging up century-old rivalries even in his latest speeches.

A strong Islamist insurgency erupted in the 1990s, organized by radicalized Libyans who had fought the Soviets in Afghanistan behind Osama bin Laden.

The fact that they survived for years despite a murderous campaign to suppress them suggests that they might have the organizational skills and determination to try to run the country, although their appeal outside the long-rebellious eastern province of Cyrenaica was limited.

There are a few respected but elderly members of the original 12-member Revolutionary Command Council who joined Gadhafi in unseating the king in 1969 and whom he later chased from power.

Some domestic and exiled intellectuals hope that Libya can resurrect the pluralistic society envisioned by the 1951 constitu-

ern Libya. It was the seat of the most prominent tribes around the deposed king, who came from a distinguished clan of mystic Muslim leaders and who lost their privileged position with the revolution.

— Tom Malinowski, Human Rights Watch

How real is threat of extremism?

tion — written under the auspices of the United Nations as the first nation the new world body steered to independence. This time it would be without a monarch. Finally there is the wild card, something no one imagines. Gadhafi pulled off just such a feat at age 27 as a junior officer when he engineered a bloodless coup against a feeble monarchy.

Gadhafi long saw al-Qaida as a threat to his rule, and was the first to request an arrest warrant for bin Laden through Interpol, Hoffman said.

But to answer the threats from the Gadhafis that after them comes either an Islamic or tribal deluge, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, the justice minister who defected to the east, held a parliament-like forum this week in the eastern city of Al Bayda. It brought together tribal leaders, former military commanders and others who pledged cooperation.

“We want one country — there is no Islamic emirate or al-Qaida anywhere,” Abel-Jalil told Al Jazeera. “Our only goal is to liberate Libya from this regime and to allow the people to choose the government that they want.”

In Benghazi, in the courthouse that serves as the nerve center for the opposition, Essam Gheriani, a psychologist turned merchant, said that the lack of competing sects meant Islam in Libya would remain moderate. Many Libyans point out that their country is fairly homogenous — most are Sunni Muslims from the Maleki sect and descended from Bedouins but now live predominately along the coast.

“The extremism we saw is the result of oppression,” said Gheriani, a graduate of Michigan State University who is married to a lawyer who helped organize the first protests. “As you move from that period, the extremism will decline with democracy. It won’t have a chance.”

Experts also believe Gadhafi used the threat of a Muslim takeover the way many Arab leaders did — exaggerating the menace to win sympathy from a United States prone to see Islamic revolutions under every Quran.

Tom Malinowski, Washington director of Human Rights Watch, who has participated in several White House meetings on the crisis, said Libya’s tribal nature and absence of civil society were worrisome factors. But he said

It was right around Al Bayda, however, that the Islamic insurgency reached its zenith in the 1990s. There is a Libyan Muslim Brotherhood with ties to similar organizations in Egypt and Algeria, experts said, which is mainly moderate with a few radical splinters. There are some Salafi, or puritanical, movements of the type that preach jihad against the West, particularly the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group formed by the veterans who fought the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Gadhafi heavily bombed the city of Darnah in the 1990s to eliminate them, and jailed those who were not killed. His son and heir apparent, Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, led a well-publicized campaign to wean them from violence while they were in jail, but there is no assurance that the teachings will stick once they are freed. Nonetheless, there are real doubts about how much appeal radical Islam holds among Libyans. Some experts suggest that even if the opposition had been communists, any resistance to Gadhafi would have garnered support in religiously and socially conservative east-

the experience of eastern Libya, where ad hoc committees have taken control of local affairs, is a strikingly positive sign.

“People seem to be adopting a new identity based on their common experience of standing up to a dictator,” Malinowski said.

“That doesn’t mean peace and love and brotherhood forever.

But it’s a reason to hope that our worst fears about a post-Gadhafi Libya may not be realized.”

For the most part, though, few experts believe that any group can dominate.

“The current opposition movement in Libya is diverse and includes secular, nationalists, monarchists and Islamist elements,” said Arshin Adib-Moghaddam, a professor at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. “I don’t think that any movement is in the position, in terms of resources and ideological power, to monopolize the political process.”

But he said that some hybrid of Islamism and nationalism was likely to emerge. In Libya, the strong nationalism that has run through all the recent uprisings is more likely to take on a religious tinge, experts believe, because it is a conservative society whose royal family once drew its authority in part from its spiritual role.

Oil a stabilizing factor

tion period and offers insurance that Western powers cannot afford to sit by and watch such an important oil exporter disintegrate. Last year Italy, Germany and France together bought a substantial proportion of Libya’s 1.55 million barrels of petroleum pumped daily, about 2 percent of world production.

Some experts wonder if Libya might become the first experiment in the use of the “responsibility to protect” — the idea that a U.N. force would be deployed to prevent civilian deaths in the event of widespread violence.

Russian or Chinese opposition to intervening in domestic affairs might be overcome if enough Libyans accepted the idea, which is possible because the United Nations helped oversee the birth of their modern nation.

With the country now split badly between east and west, an outside protection force would lend time for Tripoli to reassert itself as the capital and establish control.

“Nobody has an interest in permanent anarchy,” said Anderson of American University in Cairo.

“You have to have some kind of mechanism to ensure that people turn in their weapons,” she said.

“I don’t see there is any group within the political constellation that could do it.”

Probably the greatest insurance that Libya will not descend into Somalia-like chaos is its oil. The oil — once production fully resumes — can buy social content during a rocky transi-

Red Dragon Success Story B

end, Oregon is an outdoorsman’s paradise that attracts “explorers” from around Oregon and even from California and Washington. Visitors can ride their bikes through lush forests, play a round of golf, or even hike through a lava tube. Of course, being that active means people are going to be real hungry and looking for good dining options when they get back into town. One favorite of both tourists and the locals is Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant which has been an integral part of Bend’s vibrant dining scene since 2001.

Red Dragon Chinese Restaurant & Lounge has molded itself into one of Bend’s most popular restaurants by being dedicated to quality offerings and attentive service.

Owner, Casey Chan is a veteran in the restaurant industry. First arriving in America in 1980, he came here to chase the American Dream. While not everyone has a clear definition of their dream, Mr. Chan knew from the start that he wanted to own his own business. However, first he needed to learn more about American culture and master the language. While getting better acquainted with American culture, he found a job at a Chinese restaurant. There, he turned challenge into opportunity, slowly moving up from busboy to kitchen assistant, and

Asian fare such as egg rolls, lo mein, then finally becoming a cook.

He toiled away for years but chow mein, fried rice; and chicken, knew in his heart that opportunity beef, and seafood dishes. However, favors those who are prepared.

“It is actually part of our responsibility to teach the customers something about what real Chinese food is like,” says Mr. Chan.

Having been in the restaurant industry for 20 years, Mr. Chan knows how to keep up with trends and adjust the restaurant’s offerings to better suit customer needs. With increasing concerns about health, the concept of healthy dining has taken the nation by storm. Red Dragon is one of the many restaurants that believes in healthy dining and is doing their part through offering an array of light dishes with little salt or oil, and no MSG. Another measure that has been taken is offering steamed or boiled vegetables, which gives customers delicious meal choices without exposing them to unnecessary fat or calories. Mr. Chan believes in the power of eating healthy but also would like to add that eating healthy is even more powerful when combined with regular exercise.

A restaurant won’t be successful if the staff is not focused on the customers. Of course teamwork is also essential and that’s what you’ll find at Red Dragon—a harmonious team that strives to give customers a quality dining experience. When dining at Red Dragon you will see them racing around the restaurant, answering the phone, refilling drinks, and preparing orders all while keeping a smile

on their face. Of course, that’s not all, if you can’t decide what to order, the staff will recommend dishes based on your preferences.

“I’m very glad that they all do a good job,” says Mr. Chan.

Throughout the years, Red Dragon has received a lot attention from local media, including The Bulletin and The Source which have gushed over Red Dragon, calling it the “best kept secret” in Bend. Recently, a mystery diner employed by AboutFace visited the restaurant and gave it a perfect score of 100.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Mr. Chan is always looking for ways to better his restaurant, hoping to infuse new elements that will help take it to the next level.

New Bend projects still scheduled, but declining revenues shift priorities

Bills worrying rural schools

By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

SALEM — Rep. Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, credits the small school in Eastern Oregon he attended with preparing him for college and law school. Now, as a state lawmaker, he says he’s fighting legislation that could hurt that school and many others in rural Oregon.

The lawmakers who have sponsored the legislation that worries McLane say they don’t want to see small, rural schools closed or forced to consolidate. But they say adjustments must be made to ensure the state’s limited resources are used to educate students efficiently

Thanks to a weakening revenue stream, the Bend Park & Recreation District won’t be able to spend as much on expanding and bolstering its parks and trails system as it has in the recent past.

The district still expects to

spend about $20 million over the next five years to do things like develop Miller’s Landing, build a trail-connecting bridge over the Deschutes River near the First Street Rapids and build more baseball diamonds at Pine Nursery Park.

But according to park dis-

trict officials, that’s a far cry from the estimated $35 million it spent during the past five years as Bend’s population was burgeoning.

“If you compare the last five years with the future five years, we’re doing a lot less,” said Bruce Ronning, the park district’s director of planning and development. “It gives us the opportunity to slow down a little bit to see what our future needs are and what our future priorities are.”

The park district is in the

and fairly.

Rural educators say the battle is one they often fight during the legislative session: to stay open, to survive and to avoid consolidation. But as the state battles a $3.1 billion gap in the budget, resources this session are particularly tight. As one small school lobbyist said, the situation seems “amplified by the current economic situation.”

“Having grown up in a small town — there were 700 people in the town — the school was at the center of our community,” McLane said of Condon. “The school was where we laughed, where we cried; it was where we learned.

Congress may not have been in session last week, but that doesn’t mean nothing was happening.

For most of the week, it appeared that a federal government shutdown was imminent. But with Congress facing a March 4 deadline to reach an agreement, Republicans and Democrats on Friday seemed headed toward a compromise that could keep government functioning another two weeks. Beyond that, things are up in the air.

Late on Friday, Senate Democrats reacted positively to a Republican bill to keep government running until March 18. The bill would cut $4 billion by implementing some cuts proposed by President Barack Obama earlier than had been planned.

Among those cuts would be more than $2.6 billion in “earmarks” — the special spending provisions that members of Congress used to send federal funding to their districts.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who helped craft the compromise, released the following statement on his website: “With this proposal that focuses on bipartisan ideas to reduce federal spending, Democrats in Washington will have an opportunity to show that they got the message from the American people — status quo spending is unacceptable; it’s time to reduce spending and bring down the debt. President Obama and congressional Democrats agree with Republicans that these are potential areas to reduce spending, removing any excuses they have offered for demanding their status quo spending levels.

“As a result, there is now a clear path to finishing this short-term measure before the March 4th deadline. By supporting the House bill, our friends on the other side of the aisle will have the chance to ensure that the government remains operational while we work with them to identify additional ways to shrink Washington spending this year.”

rom Monday through Friday, Michael Sullivan is the presiding judge of the Deschutes County District Court. But on Saturday morning, his duties at the county justice building were a little different.

Job one: Figure out how to turn the lights on.

Job two: Figure out how to turn on the heat.

Sullivan and nearly three dozen volunteers from the local legal community played host Saturday to the regional mock trial competition, an annual event at which teams of high school students play the parts of prosecutors and defense attorneys and try a fictional case.

Six schools fielded eight teams for this year’s competition, with two teams each from Summit and Sisters high schools, as well as teams from Bend, Gilchrist and Mountain View high schools and the Redmond Proficiency Academy.

The event in Bend was one of seven held across the state Saturday and sponsored by the nonprofit Classroom Law Project. Two local teams, one from Sisters High School and one from Summit High School, will advance to a statewide competition next month in Portland.

Sullivan said it’s fun to see the courthouse filled with students enthusiastic about the law and working as a team to put together a strong case.

“We have many activities and opportunities — and I’m supportive of them all — for sports.

Sports are great for kids,” Sullivan said, “but there aren’t many opportunities for kids to participate in a team-like activity that’s not sports.”

Sea lions’ hunger for sturgeon on the rise The Associated Press BONNEVILLE — Officials in Washington and Oregon say they’re increasingly worried about Steller sea lions feasting on sturgeon at the Columbia River’s Bonneville Dam. The Oregonian reported that from Jan. 7 through Feb. 17, the sea lions killed more than 1,400 sturgeon — already surpassing last year’s total.

Historically, biologists have been concerned about California sea lions that show up in the spring to feast on endangered, migrating chinook salmon. But a few years ago the larger and more aggressive Stellers, which are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, showed up and began staying year round.

Columbia River sturgeon aren’t protected under the Endangered Species Act, but their numbers have been steadily dropping. Oregon and Washington this month put their tightest limits ever on sport and commercial sturgeon fishing. They’re also seeking to have Steller sea lions removed from the threatened list.

Washington Continued from B1 The plan avoided deeper cuts that faced heavy criticism in Democratic ranks.

The push for compromise followed the approval of $60 billion in cuts by the House of Representatives. The cuts would be applied to the budget ending in September and were part of an effort to curb a ballooning federal deficit.

There were no votes this week.

Sit-down strikes outlawed in 1939 The Associated Press Today is Sunday, Feb. 27, the 58th day of 2011. There are 307 days left in the year.

TODAY’S HIGHLIGHT IN HISTORY On Feb. 27, 1911, inventor Charles Kettering demonstrated his electric automobile starter by installing the device in a Cadillac in Detroit and starting the motor with just the press of a switch, replacing the need for hand-cranking.

ON THIS DATE In 1801, the District of Columbia was placed under the jurisdiction of Congress.

In 1861, in Warsaw, Russian troops fired on a crowd protesting Russian rule over Poland; five marchers were killed.

In 1922, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guarantees the right of women to vote.

In 1933, Germany’s parliament building, the Reichstag, was gutted by fire. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming the Communists, used the fire as justification for suspending civil liberties.

In 1939, the Supreme Court, in National Labor Relations Board v. Fansteel Metallurgical Corp., outlawed sit-down strikes.

In 1951, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, limiting a

T O D AY IN HISTORY president to two terms of office, was ratified.

In 1960, the U.S. Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets, 3-2, at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.)

In 1973, members of the American Indian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children. (The occupation lasted until May.) In 1979, Jane Byrne confounded Chicago’s Democratic political machine as she upset Mayor Michael Bilandic to win their party’s mayoral primary. (Byrne went on to win the election.)

In 1991, President George H.W. Bush declared that “Kuwait is liberated, Iraq’s army is defeated,” and announced that the allies would suspend combat operations at midnight, Eastern time.

TEN YEARS AGO President George W. Bush went before Congress with a $1.9 trillion spending plan that would sharply reduce growth in many government programs while leaving room to give Americans the biggest tax cut in two decades.

McLane, who is serving his first session as a representative, likes to tell people that Condon has more Nobel Prize winners per capita than any other town.

Three prizes have been won by two Condon residents, two by Linus Pauling (chemistry and peace) and one by William Parry Murphy (medicine).

“There are many examples of people who have come out of Condon and gone to college and received advanced degrees and done well,” he said. “Small schools make sure everyone learns. You don’t sit in the classroom in Condon or small schools and fall behind; there aren’t that many of you.”

McLane says he will keep his eye on legislation that could affect small schools.

“In a small town … we rise together or we fall together,” he said. “And that spirit needs to translate into all of Oregon. We have to remind those in urban areas that the way out of this recession and the way to get through the political differences is … to remind ourselves we’re all Oregonians and we need to work together to produce solutions that work for all of us. In a small town, that’s your way of life.”

The growing cost of prisons and health care means K-12 education has dipped from 45 percent of the 2003-05 budget to 38 percent now.

on

A handful of Eastern Oregon schools have supplemented their budgets by housing international students. The Oregon Department of Education has said the practice — placing exchange students in dorms and collecting state enrollment funding — is illegal. Lawmakers approved a bill last session that would prohibit districts from collecting money in this fashion after this school year.

The school officials who house these students say they help expose their own students to different cultures and ways of life. Rep. John Huffman, R-The Dalles, has sponsored a bill, HB 3359, that would grandfather the schools that house foreign exchange students to continue doing so at the current number.

Huffman says he’s also fighting Gelser’s legislation and keeping an eye on the transportation and ESD consolidation bills.

“There is such a lack of understanding and appreciation for the frontier way of life,” he said.

“And that’s what it is. It’s beyond rural; it’s frontier.”

Gelser declined to comment on Huffman’s bill since it has not yet reached committee.

State Sen. Mark Hass, D-Beaverton, who is on the Senate’s education committee, also declined to comment because it hasn’t reached his committee.

But in the past, Hass has said it’s bad public policy to educate foreign students, especially at a time when the state can barely afford to educate students from Oregon.

Previously, Hass has said he favors hosting foreign exchange students for cultural enrichment, but not as a way to bring state money to school districts.

SALEM — Gov. John Kitzhaber’s proposal to reform education would give him new power over schools unmatched in recent Oregon history.

Frustrated by independent “silos” of education programs he says are pursuing their own interests, Kitzhaber and his supporters hope they can force education programs to work better together and to do it with less money.

But there are critics too, including state schools chief Susan Castillo, a Democrat who worries that elements of his plan would take power from voters.

Kitzhaber, also a Democrat, wants to give himself the authority to appoint a superintendent of public instruction, a position now elected by voters. And he wants to bring control over education policy from prekindergarten through college under an Education Investment Board chaired by him with 12 members appointed by him.

“The issue we’re trying to get at — with an independently elected superintendent, with siloed budgets, it’s very difficult to develop consistent, seamless policy that actually can show Oregonians a return on their investment,” Kitzhaber said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Much of what Kitzhaber has proposed would require approval by the Legislature, and potentially by the voters.

A Democrat in her third term, Castillo said she supports the governor’s move to merge oversight and impose more accountability measures but thinks voters should be able to choose the superintendent.

“I think it continues to be important to have a separate voice, a separate activist for schools,” Castillo said.

“People care passionately about our schools, and everybody wants to have a say about what happens to their kids.”

The Oregon Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, also opposes any move to take the superintendent off the ballot.

Union Vice President Hannah Vandering said better coordination of education programs would be good but that teachers need to be involved in every negotiation, and the governor’s education board shouldn’t try to impose “flavor of the day” concepts like merit pay for teachers.

“The real voice of what we should be doing in public education should be coming

from the practitioners,” Vandering said.

The governor insists his proposed changes wouldn’t give him too much influence over education because the Legislature would maintain oversight.

His investment board would be subject to Senate confirmation and lawmakers must approve school funding.

Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire has made a similar proposal to merge education oversight and give her more authority over schools.

Fourteen states have elected schools chiefs. In the rest, the top education official is generally appointed by the governor or the state board of education, according to data from the Education Commission of the States.

Oregon’s superintendent of public instruction runs the Department of Education and is responsible for curriculum and instruction programs, school improvement and standardized testing.

Kitzhaber is trying to simultaneously spend less money and get better schools by streamlining operations and imposing new accountability measures.

The push comes at a time when lawmakers are trying to deal with the end of federal stimulus dollars, which have propped up education spending in the current two-year budget cycle.

Chuck Bennett, director of government relations with the Confederation of Oregon School Administrators, says he’s keeping a close eye on several bills aimed at consolidating education service districts (ESDs) or letting districts opt out of them.

The ideas might work well for larger school districts, he says, but could devastate small ones.

Many small school districts rely on ESDs for basic services such as payroll, business services and educating kids with special needs.

There are also a couple of bills floating around that would change the state’s transportation funding formula. To encourage districts to look for alternative ways to transport their students, one bill would lower the transportation reimbursement level from 90 cents on the dollar to 70 cents. Some officials believe this

dents and elementary schools with fewer than 224, the total amount is eight-tenths of 1 percent of the overall state school fund, he says. The governor’s proposed education budget is $5.56 billion for the next two years.

“If you take a look at eighttenths of 1 percent, it’s less than $40 million. If you wiped out these schools and spread it across the rest of school districts, you take $40 million divided by each kid. … It’s nothing.

“It wipes out (the rural) educational program, and in some instances it could wipe out the community.”

Green admits it costs more on a per-student basis to educate students in rural communities, but says “we have to realize that we have kids out there, and they have to have the same educational opportunity that kids in Corvallis do.”

Lorrie Andrews is the superintendent of Burnt River School District, which serves only 37 students from kindergarten through high school. She has students who are already traveling more than 20 miles to get to her school, which is near the town of Unity. The next nearest school would be another 35 miles away, she says.

Andrews says small schools are already pinching their pennies. She points out she is also the athletic director, teaches several classes and has been known to make meals in the cafeteria.

Educators in her district already wear many hats, she says.

Andrews believes Gelser’s bill would cost her district about $400,000. The district’s total budget is about $1 million, with the balance coming from other state funding, federal sources and property taxes. She says it would be difficult, if not impossible, to raise property taxes.

“This isn’t just about the school itself,” she said. “It’s about having people in this part of the state and having viable communities in this part of the state.

To keep those families here and attract families here that are ranching, or whatever may be, you need to have a school.”

could create problems for rural districts that must bring in students from far-flung locations.

“This one-size-fits-all approach we’re seeing in education, when you try to govern a complicated education system out of Salem, there are some unforeseen consequences,” Bennett said.

NE

It’s still early in the session, but one bill has rural educators particularly worried. One of its sponsors, Rep. Sara Gelser, D-Corvallis, says HB 2651 has simply been misunderstood. The bill would give small schools the tools to “control their own destiny,” she says, in part by allowing them to raise property taxes more easily.

“This is about how to enhance the resources that are available to provide services for all the students in the state.”

Gelser uses Ashwood School District in Jefferson County to illustrate her point. The district’s student population can fluctuate widely depending on who moves to town. There were three students a couple of years ago, and often there is only one. But because of the current school funding formula and what’s known as the small school correction, the district receives funding for 21.5 additional students. The state pays the district $191,488, and local taxpayers contribute $469.

Her bill would take away the small school correction fund and allow school board members to tax local property owners more. The school board would have the power — without having to ask voters — to increase the local property tax rate under a certain cap. Every dollar raised would stay within that school district.

“If they really want a oneroom school district, that’s great. Keep it,” Gelser said. “But you should be spending more than $500 to make that happen.”

Gelser, who sits on the House Revenue Committee, says small counties and communities are not at their taxing capacity.

“You’re asking schools to raise a few hundred thousand more from their local taxpayers than they are now. In some of these places, the property tax owners are only paying a quarter of what other people in the state are paying.”

Right now, she says someone in Lake Oswego with a $250,000 home is paying a much higher property tax rate than a rancher with a $250,000 home. And instead of the Lake Oswego homeowner’s money going to pay for his own student’s district exclusively, it’s helping to subsidize smaller school districts.

“There is more capacity to contribute, (and) this starts the conversation to do it.”

But Jim Green, lobbyist for Oregon Small Schools Association, said Rep. Gelser’s bill would essentially force small schools to consolidate. And, he points out, that would be difficult since many of them are miles from each other and often separated by mountain passes.

He also says it’s impractical to think these rural school districts could raise property taxes.

“These communities are in counties with the highest unemployment rate that the state of Oregon has.”

And for schools that receive the state’s small school funding correction, which are high schools with fewer than 350 stu-

“We have to realize that we have kids out there, and they have to have the same educational opportunity that kids in Corvallis do.”

Search for oil results Hopeful for best picture brings in another dry hole speech disorders into spotlight COPING WITH STUTTERING

100 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 26, 1911 OUTLAW CAUGHT A wild stallion belonging to Leyton Morgan, whose capture has been the despair of the horsemen and buccaroos of the eastern part of Crook County for the past five years, was finally run down by Bill Brown, the noted stockman. Brown and his outfit last week began a ride for horses at Jersey Mountain, when they started up a wild bunch.

Bill singled out this horse and the chase of his life began. He ran him to Last Chance, where he was turned and the chase continued to Benjamin, where the outlaw again turned and went flying across the desert to Sage Hollow, and thence back to Glass Buttes.

By this time night had fallen and Bill’s horse was tired, so dismounting he led his horse and took the track of the flying outlaw, following him all night and leaving him about 2 o’clock the next day at Hampton Buttes. His own horse having given out he took him to the Price place and sent his foremen, Dave Newman and Harry Hackleman, who took up the chase and ran the outlaw back to Sage Hollow where they turned him back to Hampton Buttes, where the notorious “H” horse was finally corralled.

Bill and his horse traveled without food or rest for two days and one night.

Mr. Brown is credited with owning more acres than are included in the entire state of New Jersey.

BIKES FOR LAND Late of an evening last week a belated land seeker, Arthur S. Hughes of Spokane, put in an appearance at the “Millican Inn,” trundling a bicycle through the snow, his feet soaked and almost frozen and altogether in a bad way. He had tried bicycling from Powell Butte.

RANGE RIDERS FIND FINE CATTLE Henry Carlin, J.J. Rounberg and Wm. Ferguson, cattlemen of Bear Creek, together with Ed Kapper of Millican have ridden range in this vicinity, gathering up poor cattle. They gathered up a large bunch and left for Bear Creek where they will be fed.

Henry Carlin who has ridden the range for several years past says cattle are in better condition now, than he has ever seen them before at this time of the year. He thinks the stockmen will get through the winter without and serious loss.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 26, 1936 BURNT RANCH The recent death of Jay Saltzman brings to light the fact that the historic community of Burnt Ranch, where Mr. Saltzman was born, is apparently unknown to the younger generation of news writers. News reports variously place Burnt Ranch as “near Gateway” and “near Bakeoven.”

Located not far from Mitchell Burnt Ranch in pioneer days was a noted stopping place on the road that connected The Dalles with the historic mining town of Canyon City, during the years when great wealth was washed from the Canyon creek gravels.

Packers, freighters, prospectors and stage drivers crossed and re-crossed the pioneer road, and over this route passed the Wells Fargo Express company’s business, handled by H.H. Wheeler.

Prospectors and others who used the old stage line, established in 1864, paid $40 for the privilege of riding the high-wheeled, horse drawn stages one way. Thieving and marauding Indians cost the stage company heavy losses, and murders and holdups were common on the lonely road.

As a post office, Burnt Ranch has been shifted about considerably in recent years, having been moved from farm to farm as postmasters changed, but during the Canyon City gold rush days it was just a short distance west of Mitchell, on the John Day River. The locality at

Y E S T E R D AY the turn of the present century was known as Grade, presumably because it was near the foot of a slight grade a short distance above the old Connolly ranch.

Burnt Ranch received its name as the result of a raid by Indians, in September, 1866. States the Grant County News of Aug. 6, 1885: “In 1866 James Clark was a settler there and had a very comfortable home. One bright September morning, Jim and his brother-in-law George Masterson, forded the John Day River and were cutting up a lot of driftwood on the opposite bars. Suddenly they discovered a band of Indians rushing down the hill from the Ochoco country. The men had left their rifles in the house and sought to reach them ahead of the Indians. They unhitched their horses and, climbing on bareback, raced for the house. But when they saw that the Indians were going to get there first they swerved to the left and struck up Bridge Creek, with the enemy in hot pursuit.

Masterson’s horse was soon winded and the rider dropped into the creek and hid in the water. The Indians chased Clark a few miles, then returned to hunt Masterson, but could not find him. Both men escaped, but when they returned to their home found that it had been burned.

“What was a happy home a few hours before was now a scene of desolation,” a current historian said. Some old timers said that the raiders were led by the mongrel chief Paulina, later killed by Howard Maupin.

Another house was constructed by Clark, but ever since that time the place has been called Burnt Ranch and the name is still retained by the migratory post offices.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 26, 1961 QUEST FOR OIL AGAIN ENDS IN FAILURE Another deep test hole drilled in Oregon east of the Cascades is being abandoned as a “duster.”

This is the hole drilled through lake beds and volcanics in the Goose Lake basin, just south of Lakeview. The test hole, drilled by the Humble Oil & Refining Co., was the second attempt by Humble to find oil or gas in south-central Oregon. It was drilled to a depth of about 9,000 feet. The earlier hole, just northwest of Lakeview, reached a depth of around 10,000 feet.

Aggregate cost of the two holes was around three-fourths of a million dollars. Drilling was preceded by several years of explorative work.

In the 1950s, Standard drilled two dry holes in Central Oregon, high on the northeast flank of Hampton Butte, the other in the Roberts area. A third was drilled near Condon.

Humble is withdrawing from the Eastern Oregon field, but is retaining its leases. Standard has retained some of its mid-Oregon leases.

It now appears that Interior Oregon faces a period of oil exploration inactivity.

But in the decades ahead, there will be other tests. Eventually some fortunate wildcatter may penetrate the thick volcanics to tap a pool of “black gold.”

Here’s hoping, however, that such tests will not be backed by the hard earned dollars of the little investors, as in the early days of oil exploration in Central Oregon.

Those were the days when clerks and day laborers, dentists and doctors paid to see the bottom of dry holes at Clarno and Mitchell, and in other areas.

Perhaps these monsters we see galumphing around downtown, looking as if they’re permanently going downhill, don’t ever venture onto the open highway. But if one did, a simple front tire puncture could turn into a first class wreck.

That’s carrying a modification a little too far.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending Feb. 26, 1986 TWO-STORY BUILDING TO RISE ON “KLONDIKE KATE” LAND A two-story office building soon will rise on the Franklin Avenue property formerly occupied by the house of “Klondike Kate” Rockwell, one of Bend’s most flamboyant historical figures.

The new 6,900-square-foot office complex will be home to an accounting firm. Other office space also will be available.

Klondike Kate made her fame as a dance-hall girl during the Alaska Gold Rush before moving to Central Oregon in 1910.

She lived in a small twostory house at 231 Franklin Avenue from 1922 to the mid1950s. The house was located next to Franklin between Harriman Avenue and Lava Road.

The house, which has a custom-made chimney covered with agates, thundereggs and obsidian, was torn down last April over the objections of the Deschutes County Historical Society.

A last-ditch effort to save the house by moving it to another location failed.

The city of Bend recently approved a site plan for the new office building and construction of the project is expected to begin within the next few weeks.

By Jane Glenn Haas The Orange County Register

Today at the Academy Awards we will learn if we are captivated by stuttering, a speech affliction once considered a cause of embarrassment.

Jane Fraser of the Stuttering Foundation of America says all assumptions about stuttering have changed since the film “The King’s Speech” was released, which has been nominated for best picture.

Her father, Malcolm Fraser, started the group in Memphis, Tenn., because he was severely afflicted with the speech problem. “It has taken that movie … to educate even my family about the depth of the problem for many sufferers,” she said.

Stuttering is a speech disorder in which sounds, syllables or words are repeated or last longer than normal. These problems cause a break in the flow of speech.

About 1 in every 20 children ages 2-5 will develop some stuttering, which can last for several weeks or years. For a small number of children, less than 1 percent, the problem does not go away and can get worse.

Stuttering runs in families.

Genes that cause stuttering have been identified, says the national center for biotechnology information of the National Institutes of Health. It’s more common in boys than in girls.

So I asked Fraser about her father’s stuttering problem and how he tried to correct it.

Q. A.

Did your father have to do a lot of public speaking?

He was the founder of Napa Auto Parts. He made extraordinary efforts at speech.

Most times, when people reach 50, they tend to stutter less. This may be related to a “not have to prove myself” mode. At any rate, by age 50, the stuttering is usually not as severe. I think the person has reached some measure of personal success by then. There is a circle of friends. The more you talk, the less you stutter.

Q. A.

— Jane Fraser of the Stuttering Foundation of America ance between the patient and the therapist. When it’s really successful, they trust each other.

The therapist knows stuttering is subjective. Each person who stutters does so for a different reason, so there is no be-all and end-all approach to the problem.

Q. A.

Is this an emotional issue?

People who stutter are more vulnerable, and their speech mechanism breaks down. That doesn’t mean you can’t achieve fluency, because you can.

But if persons always responded to therapy, we would have found that answer long ago. The emotional problem is not there all the time.

You know, speech is the most complex thing we do. It relates to the heart and soul of who we are. Because of this film, I think the public has found new respect for the problem. But who knows what they will say a year from now.

As a youngster, I never understood why it was so painful for

my father to speak and how mortified I was waiting for him to get a word out. I haven’t been in that place for many, many years.

Q. A.

Do others in your family stutter?

My uncle. It is definitely in my family. But even when it is genetically in a family, early intervention between 2, 3 and 4 years old can make a difference.

The National Institutes of Health suggests parents of youngsters who stutter should: Avoid expressing too much concern about stuttering, which can make matters worse by making the child self-conscious.

Avoid stressful social situations when possible.

Listen patiently to the child, make eye contact, don’t interrupt, and show love and acceptance. Avoid finishing sentences for them.

Set aside time for talking.

Talk openly about stuttering when the child brings it up.

Talk with a speech therapist about when to gently correct the stuttering.

Oct. 5, 1922 – Feb. 23, 2011 Dale E. Lewis was born at Medical Lake, Washington, to Vern and Alice Lewis on October 5, 1922.

He enjoyed all types of sports and was a state wrestling champion and star football running back. He was also president of the Future Farmers of America during his high school years.

He married Ruth Bergsten on October 6, 1942.

He served in the 11th Airborne during World War II. After the war, Dale, Ruth and their son, Richard, moved to the Willamette Valley and Dale went to work for International Paper Company in Vaughn. He retired in 1979, and Ruth and Dale moved to Central Oregon where he worked for the U.S. Forest Service for a few years. After that retirement Dale and Ruth travelled for many years in their fifth wheel and Dale’s faithful Dodge Ram truck.

He was a great husband, grandfather and great-grandfather; and, his daughters often told him that “he was the best Pop ever.” His grandchildren loved the stories he told about the “old days.”

He is survived by his wife, Ruth; and two daughters, Arlene McConnell (Ken) of Everett, Washington, and Liz Trimble (Bill) of Bend; his son, Richard, preceded him death. He also leaves eight grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed.

A private gathering will be held in his honor at a later date.

“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies. Whoever lives and believes in me will never die.”

Autumn Funerals have been entrusted with arrangements.

Competition Continued from B1 All of the teams in the event try the same case, based on a script that includes a handful of known facts and the backgrounds of witnesses, expert witnesses and others.

In this year’s case, prosecution teams attempt to prove that a restaurant owner was killed by her business partner, while defense teams work to undermine the case by noting the victim’s gambling problems and dealings with known criminals.

Students playing the roles of the individuals brought in to testify are expected to stay true to the script, answering the questions put to them using only the established facts about their characters.

Parks Continued from B1 There’s also less money available for new projects. As the district’s park and trail system has expanded over the years, more and more money has gone toward maintenance.

Some of the highest-priority projects over the next five years, according to the most recent draft of the capital improvement plan, are related to improving existing infrastructure, like the Deschutes River Trail, and buying and developing land for neighborhood parks near places like Parrell and Butler Market roads.

Mountain View, played the part of Chris Riggs, a detective who investigated the case and may or may not be slightly corrupt.

Depending on the strategy of the defense team, a prior investigation of Riggs for evidence tampering can become a pivotal part of the effort to cast doubt on the prosecution’s case.

“It’s very intimidating when the cross examination comes up because you never know what they’ll ask you,” Sanford said.

“So I’ve got to know my part really well.”

Jordan Rudinsky, an 18-yearold senior at Sisters High School, said even though they try the same case time after time, it always plays out slightly differently. Some judges are more or less lenient in the testimony they’ll allow, he said, forcing the attorneys to change their arguments in real time.

March 22, 1941 - Feb. 14, 2011

Author Victor Martinez, 56 McClatchy-Tribune News Service FRESNO, Calif. — Victor Martinez, who won the 1996 National Book Award for Young People’s Literature for his “Parrot in the Oven: Mi Vida,” died after a battle with cancer Feb. 18 in San Francisco. He was 56.

Martinez graduated from Fresno High School and attended Fresno State and Stanford University. The work he did as a field laborer, welder, truck driver, firefighter, teacher and office clerk influenced his poems, short stories and essays.

“Parrot in the Oven: Mi Vida” described life in the barrios of Fresno. A 14-year-old boy deals with growing up in a world of

gangs, violence and poverty.

“I didn’t do well in school. I sat in the back of the class and didn’t say anything,” Martinez said during a 1998 visit to Fresno to speak to runaway and homeless children. “Most of my teachers thought I was just waiting to drop out, but my mother kept me in school. That was important because just sticking it out, just being there, gave me opportunities.”

Martinez is survived by 11 brothers and sisters. His sister, Martha Martinez Manzano, said several of the siblings have shown talents as writers and artists but that Victor was the only one to be published.

Camille Bevando Snoke, a resident of Bend, Oregon and long time resident of Agoura Hills, California passed away on February 14th, on Valentine’s Day, with her family at her side, at Partner’s Hospice Hospital in Bend. She courageously fought cancer for over five years.

Born in 1941 in Brooklyn, New York, Camille was the oldest of 3 siblings and very proud of her Italian heritage and growing up in a community with many family members nearby. Camille and her family moved to Southern California in 1956 and she stayed in the area until retirement took her and her husband to Bend, Oregon in 2004.

Camille had a successful business, Thee Nail Menders, in Woodland Hills for over 20 years. Camille loved social events, was passionate about family gatherings, her circle of friends, and volunteering at many charity events in the Hollywood and Los Angeles areas.

Camille will be especially remembered for her holiday festivities, her Halloween costume parties, her shopping sprees to the LA Mart, “Thursdays”, her Christmas decor and “crafts”, her zest for card games, her doll collection, her broccoli patties at amusement parks, Lemon Ice, her big heart, and her passion for life!

Camille is survived by her husband of 30 years Richard Snoke, her daughter Debra Lindy, her daughter and son-in-law Barbara and Doug Knutson, her son and daughter-in-law Damien and Erin Bevando, her son Dwayne Snoke, her stepson and daughter-in-law Tommy and Rebecca Snoke, her stepdaughter and son-in-law Ramona and Fernando Gonzales, her sister and brother-in-law Rosemarie and Wil Greene, her mother Josephine Bevando, along with numerous Aunts, Uncles, cousins and a large circle of devoted friends.

Camille is also survived by and most proud of her 16 grandchildren; Lara, Kali, Tessa, Paige, Sydney, Rayna, Olivia, Bryan, Mandi, Zackery, Rachel, Raegan, Jacob, Laura, Kelley, and Luke, and 4 great grandchildren; Josephine, Evie, Landon and Coen.

Camille was preceded in death by her father, Philip Bevando, and her brother, Philip Bevando, Jr. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The City of Hope.

Haila Stoddard, actress and theatrical producer New York Times News Service Haila Stoddard, an actress who had a long career on the stage and on television and who as a producer brought the works of Noel Coward, James Thurber and Harold Pinter to Broadway, died Monday at her home in Weston, Conn. She was 97.

The cause was cardiopulmonary arrest, said her son, Christopher Kirkland.

Stoddard’s varied and colorful life in show business, which included radio serials, regional theater, Broadway, television drama and soap operas, brought her semifame, semifortune and a lot of fun.

With partners, in 1960 she produced “A Thurber Carnival,” a revue of Thurber sketches that Brooks Atkinson, writing in The Times, called “both the freshest and the funniest show of the year” and that won special Tony Awards for Thurber and the show’s director, Burgess Meredith.

The park district proposes to do about $450,000 worth of improvements to the Miller’s Landing property along the Deschutes River near Riverside Drive as soon as next year.

That project would likely include the installation of some turf and, possibly, the construction of a beach like those found at Riverbend Park.

For Pine Nursery Park, located in northeast Bend, the district wants to spend about $3 million over the next three to five years to expand the sports complex with new baseball and softball diamonds.

In addition, about $1.1 million is allocated for improve-

“Different judges can have different opinions on what gets in, so you never know what will happen,” Rudinsky said.

Victoria Redman, 17, a Mountain View High School senior who faced off against Rudinsky in closing arguments, said people always tell her she’d make a good attorney because she’s naturally argumentative. But Saturday, her argumentative tendencies got the better of her, she said. Instead of making her own case, she argued against Rudinsky’s, and ended up on the losing end.

This is Mountain View’s first year fielding a mock trial team after a five-year hiatus, Redman said, and the school’s teams should get better with practice.

“I think we put Mountain View

Among her subsequent productions were Coward’s “Sail Away,” a musical that starred Elaine Stritch, and Pinter’s elliptical and sinister drama “The Birthday Party,” directed by Alan Schneider. Two years after Thurber’s death in 1961, she also produced a second (less successful) Thurber revue, “The Beast in Me”; Thurber himself was a friend, not least for a zinging, occasionally bawdy wit that Stoddard exhibited herself.

Stoddard’s acting career began in 1934 in a California production of Kaufman and Hart’s “Merrily We Roll Along,” and for the next three decades it included appearances across the country. For a year, from 1935 to 1936, she played the mute girl Pearl in the touring company of “Tobacco Road,” Erskine Caldwell’s tale of poor sharecroppers, which had been adapted for the stage by Jack Kirkland, who would become the second of her four husbands.

ments at Ponderosa Park along Southeast Fifteenth Street.

Those funds would go toward improving parking and accessibility and building a new playground and picnic plaza.

The park district’s board of directors can still shift around the projects on the capital improvement plan in the coming months.

And by next year, the list that exists today can look completely different.

Board members are scheduled to see another draft of the park district’s capital improvement plan at their April 5 meeting.

up to a good standard, and it’ll make us try to do better next time.”

Local defense attorney Angela Lee, regional coordinator for the competition, said a day in court isn’t all that different for the students than it is for her. Even professional attorneys will lose their train of thought while addressing a jury or get jittery, she said, and, like the students, they just have to keep going.

“I think the main thing they get from this is an opportunity to present themselves in front of a packed courtroom,” she said. “It’s a confidence-builder for these kids.”

Daughter’s killer won’t be executed anytime soon

WISCONSIN UNION FIGHT

Biologists link bats to rabies outbreak MEDFORD — A draft report that looks at ways to combat a rabies outbreak among animals in the Cave Junction area says getting vaccines to the gray fox population and vaccinating pets are the area’s best options.

The Medford Mail Tribune reported seven foxes, one domestic goat and one coyote have died of rabies in the Cave Junction area since the outbreak began about one year ago.

All the animals suffered from the same strain of rabies, and biologists suspect gray foxes are eating dead or dying rabid bats.

Deck truss design favored for I-5 span PORTLAND — Oregon and Washington transportation officials are recommending a deck truss design for a new Interstate 5 bridge planned to span the Columbia River between Portland and Vancouver, Wash.

At $340 million, the design is the cheapest of three alternatives remaining after the governors of the two states abandoned a different design.

They cited a report saying concerns about cost and construction dangers could not be overcome.

The design recommended Friday is expected to look a lot like the open-web box girder concept tossed out on Feb. 3.

The draft recommendation to Govs. Chris Gregoire and John Kitzhaber says the deck truss design is the one most likely to keep the project on schedule.

A final recommendation will come in mid-March.

Hundreds of protesters gather on the Oregon Capitol steps to support the public employees in Wisconsin on Saturday in Salem.

Hundreds stage protest in Salem The Associated Press SALEM — Hundreds dressed in red union gear attended a 70-minute Salem rally Saturday to show support for union workers in Wisconsin facing a hard-nosed proposal from the state’s governor to end collective bargaining. The event was organized by the left-leaning MoveOn.org political organization in conjunction with dozens of unions, environmentalists and other activist groups.

With chants including “What’s disgusting?

Union busting” and signs that criticized Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, locals say it was one of the largest left-leaning rallies in Salem since George W. Bush took office in 2001.

The Salem Statesman-Journal reported there was no official crowd estimate.

Veteran union organizer Bobbie Cadethere says at least 1,000 people took part.

Rep. Wu denies substance abuse problem The Associated Press PORTLAND — An Oregon congressman facing calls for his resignation from some of the state’s largest newspapers has said he will remain in office and plans to run again in 2012.

Rep. David Wu told KGW-TV in an interview aired Saturday

morning that he has sought professional treatment for mental health problems.

He blamed the stress of the campaign and the responsibility of caring for his two children as reasons for bizarre behavior that concerned his team at the end of the 2010 campaign

and led to the resignations of seven staff members after the campaign.

Wu says he does not have a substance abuse problem.

Wu declined to specify the nature of his mental health issue, saying he expects a “sphere of privacy” in some areas.

EUGENE — No one knows when — or even if — convicted murderer Angela McAnulty’s death sentence will be carried out.

The one certainty is that it won’t be anytime soon.

Should McAnulty — the Eugene woman sentenced to death on Thursday for the torture killing of her teenage daughter — decide to take full advantage of her appeal rights, she can plan on a lengthy stay in a one-person cell at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville.

In fact, 19 of the 35 male inmates sitting on Oregon’s death row have been there for at least a decade because of a complicated and drawn-out appeals process that involves a number of different court reviews.

“It’s impossible to give an estimate of how long it takes to complete the entire process, because so far, nobody’s done it” in Oregon, said Jeff Ellis, a Portland defense attorney who handles death penalty appeals and serves as director of the Oregon Capital Resource Center.

For McAnulty, 42, the appeals process began as soon as a Lane County jury ruled Thursday after six hours of deliberation that she should be executed for murdering her daughter, Jeanette Maples.

If McAnulty fails to get her sentence reversed during the socalled “direct” appeal to the Oregon Supreme Court, she would have plenty of chances over many, many years to make an argument that she should not pay the ultimate price for murdering her 15-year-old daughter after brutally abusing her.

The initial appeal itself will take several years to play out.

Seven people sentenced to death in Oregon haven’t yet had their cases heard by the state Supreme Court, said Stephen Armitage, the court’s staff attorney.

If the court rejects her appeal, McAnulty may appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could decline to review it.

She would then decide whether to go through a “post-conviction relief” process in which the case is first heard by a state circuit court judge.

It could then go to the Oregon Court of Appeals and the state Supreme Court for further review before that line of appeal is exhausted, state Department of Justice spokesman Tony Green said.

At that point, McAnulty could take her argument to federal court for yet another review.

From there, it could be appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.

There, the court process would finally end. But she could still ask Oregon’s governor to grant her a pardon.

“When you’re out of appeals, the only place left to go is to the governor,” Green said.

The death penalty appeals process comes at a great expense to the public. Court, prison and prosecution costs are steep, not to mention the fact that public defenders, paid by taxpayers, almost always end up representing convicted murderers in their appeals.

“I’m unaware of any (prisoners on Oregon’s death row) who pay for their own attorney,” Ellis said.

He said that between 2004 and 2008, the cost to defend a death penalty case in Oregon averaged more than $213,000 per defendant.

Oregon melon farm joins organic produce network Monmouth operation will add Pike variety to subscribers’ take

By Justin Much (Salem) Statesman-Journal

SALEM — The chickens and roosters at the Grund-Clampit farm are a curious lot.

During a recent sunny Wednesday, the 20-odd birds leaped over a wire fence immediately surrounding the farm-home yard and followed Howard Grund-Clampit and his visitors closely, noisily reminding all that any cracked corn or tasty scratch on hand would be a welcome toss.

But it wasn’t mealtime for the fowl, nor was poultry or egg production a topic that day. Organic farming was.

Located just north of Monmouth, the GrundClampit farm — or at least several acres of it — is the newest addition to the group of area spreads taking part in Community Supported Agriculture.

CSA is a primarily organic practice that harkens to small farm practices of multiple “crops” grown

garden-style and harvested weekly from June through October. Then, local residents subscribe to receive weekly boxes of the farm-fresh produce.

This newest addition is a fertile one, according to Your Home Harvest proprietor and CSA advocate Jeannie Berg.

The grounds, home to Linda and Howard Grund-Clampit and their 19-year-old son, Adam, have been nurtured well in recent years, including about a decade and a half of heavy leaf-drop mulching, fowl-induced tilling and other soil-enhancing elements creating a loam ripe for planting.

Pike melons Among the scores of potential crops, one certainty is the Pike melon, a strand that was developed in Monmouth and grown on this farm in the early and middle decades of the 20th century.

“As far as I know, the melon has disappeared from the county, and this will be its reappearance,” Berg said.

“It’s kind of poetic that you are going to be growing the same melon that grew here before,” Howard Grund-Clampit said.

Linda Grund-Clampit’s grandparents, Clarence and Frances Grund, moved to the farm and built the house in the 1920s. They grew the melons on a slope just south of the orchard. Howard and Linda moved there in 1989. They found an ancient pack of Pike melon seeds in the shop, and their curiosity started to grow.

Neighbor Madeline Hall Fisher recalled visiting the farm with her grandparents to get Pike melons.

She insists Pikes were the most delicious cantaloupe around but did not keep long.

“Local Harvest” website notes the heirloom cantaloupe was developed circa 1935 by Aaron Pike of Pike & Young Seed Company in Monmouth.

Fisher remembers that the Pike and Young families were neighbors, living on Monmouth Avenue.

Jimmy Young and Verna Pike Smith, children of the original developers, live in Monmouth.

Through research, Berg found seeds through Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, which bought the Pike & Young many decades ago.

Employing hungry birds

Justin Much / (Salem) Statesman Journal

A couple of roosters tail Howard Grund-Clampit as he walks the grounds of his farm Feb. 23. The Grund-Clampit farm, just north of Monmouth, will offer a fertile addition to the Community Supported Agriculture this year.

Berg noted that the melon-marked slope will join other Grund-Clampit garden parcels in the CSA project. Included in that are plots cleared and tilled by the local fowl.

“You throw some cracked corn down and they will scratch it up, then find some worms and bugs and keep scratching — it’s like a Rototiller,” Howard Grund-Clampit said.

“These inputs are created on the farm,” Berg said, noting that additional mulch comes from wheatstubble straw, another byproduct from the farm.

“That helps hold the moisture and (inhibit) weeds,” she said. “It’s a lot of work spreading the straw now, but we won’t be weeding later.”

The

mystery violin masters of the

Film explores disparity between reputations of revered luthiers Stradavari and Guarneri

By David Jasper • The Bulletin

A

C

ntonio Stradivari and Bartolomeo Giuseppe Antonio Guarneri were both expert violin makers whose 300year-old instruments are still highly prized among col-

lectors and musicians. Only one of them is truly famous, the other relatively obscure outside the world of music experts.

Why would two contemporaneous, 17th-century luthiers from Cremona, Italy, not share the same level of fame?

The mystery led Seattle-based documentary filmmaker John Forsen abroad — like some kind of real-life Robert Langdon — to locales including London, Milan and Cremona.

Only “The Da Vinci Code” this wasn’t.

The mystery Forsen sought to unravel didn’t involve murder, conspiracies or ciphers, and the only shooting involved cameras.

In short, Forsen wanted to know why Guarneri, also known as del Gesu, played second fiddle to Stradivari.

A few years ago, a friend’s violin collection

led Forsen to consider Stradivari for a documentary subject. Other than mentions in feature films, “there had really never been anything done, definitively, about Stradivari,” he says.

The mystery part came into play when he learned about Guarneri, a less prolific violin maker whose sonorous instruments are not as well-known to the general public, but are nonetheless sought out by collectors and musicians.

“It was kind of like, ‘There’s nothing been done on these guys, and these guys are the most famous violin makers in the world; it’s time to do a project on it.’ ” The resulting film is “Violin Masters: Two Gentlemen of Cremona.” It will screen next month at Bend’s Oxford Hotel (see “If you go”).

French Alps — sans skis Mountain villages offer myriad allures for those who prefer culture to sport

By Seth Sherwood New York Times News Service

Just in front of me, a skier jumped from a helicopter and sped down the treacherous slope, zigzagging wildly as he dodged boulders and soared over moguls. Then, suddenly, catastrophe struck. Unable to see an approaching cliff, he shot off its edge into a free fall.

This is why I don’t ski, I thought to myself as I sipped my mojito and turned away from the extreme-sports videos on the overhead television. The cozy confines of the wood-beamed L’Equipe bar in Courchevel, a ski village high in the French Alps, was a far more agreeable spot to appreciate the Alpine lifestyle than in the bone-shattering temperatures on the icy slopes outside.

Around the timbered town, twilight was settling and the bars were coming alive with D.J.-spun music, live bands, crackling fires and fondue. Parka-clad strollers admired works

by Miro and Modigliani in galleries before heading off to dine at some of the nation’s finest restaurants. Who needed skis and poles when confronted with the

best après-ski scene in France?

For many, the French Alps are so fully associated with winter sports that it’s hard to imagine visiting them without buying a lift ticket. Chamonix and Mont Blanc are legends. Grenoble hosted the Winter Olympics in 1968, and Albertville followed suit in 1992. Annecy is a finalist for the spot in 2018. And when the first winter snowfall arrives, a blizzard of ski mania blankets the region as enthusiasts pull their gear out of cellars and rent half-timbered chalets.

But the Alps also hold myriad allures for those who don’t feel compelled to careen down frozen sheets of ice and snow. These same cities and villages hide timeworn streets, colorful literary history, world-class art collections, sublime eating experiences and some of the most decadent nightlife in Europe. And the snowy season is the perfect time to indulge in them. From the Venetian Carnival in Annecy (held from March 18 to 20 this year) to the glittery international party season in Courchevel, winter brings out the region’s natural beauty and beguiling personality.

GUARNERI The Il Cannone Guarnerius, a 1743 violin made by Bartolomeo Giuseppe Antonio Guarneri, was once owned by Italian violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini. Owned by the city of Genoa, Italy, it’s insured for $50 million.

STRADIVARI The 1683 Cirpriani Potter violin, made by Antonio Stradivari, is seen in this photo from “Violin Masters,” a documentary screening March 12 in Bend.

Stradivari is estimated to have made about 700 violins, often for nobility such as the king of Spain and the Duke of Medici.

Sacred Art of Living celebrates 15 years Sacred Art of Living Center, founded in 1997 in Bend, will celebrate its 15th year with three events in March.

Richard and Mary Groves were inspired to create the center as a unique school for spiritual formation for caregivers, bringing together their 50 years of work in interfaith education, professional development and end-of-life spirituality.

One accomplishment is the center’s workshop-retreat series

SPOTLIGHT called the Sacred Art of Living and Dying, the nation’s first comprehensive training and certification program for spirituality at the end of life. More than 16,000 people from around the world have participated in the program series.

On March 5, the center will hold a Celtic Party, with themed entertainment, dessert reception and

raffle for a pilgrimage to Ireland with founding director Richard Groves in June. The event will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Riverhouse Convention Center, 3075 N. U.S. Business 97, Bend. Tickets for the evening are $25 in advance, $35 at the door.

On March 6, Richard Groves will present “Great SufferingGreat Love: The Heart & Soul of Grief,” sharing how to recover from loss and heal the spirit at Nativity Lutheran Church, 60850 Brosterhous Road, Bend, from 1 to 4 p.m.

After the 2009 death of his wife,

Mary, Groves has stories and lessons to share about what it means to continue saying “yes” to life.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $35 at the door, and $10 for students.

March 11 and 12 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., the center will hold a workshop titled “Spirit of the Enneagram: Introduction to a Sacred Psychology” at St. Charles Bend.

Participants will learn to embrace their personal self-worth, deepen spiritual wellbeing, heal emotional wounds and more. Cost is $250.

2 hosts and a slew of stars: Who will win?

By Chuck Barney Contra Costa Times

Dear Abby: I am a 49-year-old woman. I was recently contacted by the boyfriend I had when I was in my 20s. “Byron” was the love of my life, but I foolishly broke up with him. I then married a bum and had a child I am raising by myself on a very limited income.

I live in an apartment with mismatched furniture and have no money saved. My former flame has done well and is now married with three children. I sent him a letter telling him how proud I am of him and of what he has achieved.

His reply has brought back a flood of memories, and I feel terrible about where I am and being alone.

How can I get over this?

— Byron’s Long-ago Ex Dear Ex: If you want more frustration and heartbreak, continue swimming in your flood of memories. Keep in mind that you dumped Byron “foolishly,” and use that life lesson to guide you.

Because you are alone now does not mean you’ll be alone forever.

Living in an apartment with mismatched furniture does not mean your circumstances can’t or won’t improve. The answer is to stay focused on the opportunities in front of you rather than looking over your shoulder.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have a serious difference of opinion, and I’d like your input.

I am of Indian (Asian, not Native American) origin, and I would like our children to have Indian names because I think they are prettier and more unique.

My husband, who is American, contends they are often difficult to spell and pronounce, and moreover, since we’re an “American” family, we ought to chose American names. I disagree.

One of the names he would like

DEAR ABBY to give, I particularly dislike. He says it was his grandfather’s name and he would like to carry it on.

We don’t have kids yet — and at this rate we’re not likely to anytime soon. What do you think about this stalemate?

— Contemplating Parenthood Dear Contemplating: I think the two of you should compromise.

Give the children American first names and Indian middle names.

Problem solved.

Dear Abby: I was with my boyfriend for two years when he left me for another woman. She was a lunatic who was possessive and jealous, not to mention desperate.

After a while, he realized what he had with me and wanted to come back. Because I still loved him, I gave him another chance.

Abby, she hasn’t stopped calling him! She parks in his driveway overnight. She refuses to take no for an answer.

Now for the kicker: For his birthday, she bought them both a trip to a Caribbean island — and he accepted! He said he was going only for the trip, but I’m here and he is there with her now. What should I do?

— Weeping in Winnipeg Dear Weeping: Send him on another trip — a one-way trip out of your life once and for all. Your boyfriend is an opportunist, and you deserve better.

“The 83rd Annual Academy Awards” 5:30 tonight, ABC Will it be a royal flush for “The King’s Speech”? Or will “The Social Network” or “Black Swan” reign? Those questions and others will be answered during a star-studded night when Hollywood’s major players gather to pay homage to themselves. What we really want to know is if first-time hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway are up to the task. Here’s hoping they keep things moving, play well together and handle their duties with true grit.

“Californication” 9 tonight, Showtime On “Californication,” a cash-strapped Hank (David Duchovny) takes a job polishing dialogue for a zombie film called “Slowly We Rot 2.”

Sounds like it could describe much of reality TV. “CSI: Miami” 10 tonight, CBS A revenge of the nerds scenario might be at play on “CSI Miami” when a high school bully is stoned to death. Let’s hope they don’t teach you that kind of behavior in Dungeons & Dragons.

“The Bachelor” 8 p.m. Monday, ABC They’re running low on roses on “The Bachelor” as Brad and the three remaining women travel to South Africa. It’s not all fun and frills, though, as the accommodations include a tree house.

Paul McCartney composes orchestral work for a ballet New York Times News Service In an unexpected intersection of celebrity pop music and ballet — that most refined of the performing arts — Paul McCartney has written a major orchestral work for the New York City Ballet.

It is a love story titled “Ocean’s Kingdom” and will have its premiere at the company’s fall gala Sept. 22, with other performances on dates to be announced next season, McCartney and company officials said Wednesday.

City Ballet’s ballet master in chief, Peter Martins, will create the choreography.

In its current state the ballet is about 45 to 50 minutes long, has four acts and a cast of about 40 to 45, including four or five main roles. A composer, John Wilson, is helping with the final orchestration, and the first act is to be

played through Thursday at the David H. Koch Theater, the company’s home at Lincoln Center.

McCartney first mentioned that he was working on a ballet score in an interview with the BBC in June and set off speculative babble among balletomanes and pop music fans this month when he said that an announcement was coming soon.

In his first interview about the work, McCartney, speaking by telephone in New York on Wednesday, called it “basically a romantic story” involving two worlds: the ocean kingdom, representing purity, and the earth kingdom, inhabited by “the sort of baddies.” The daughter of the ocean king falls in love with the brother of the earth king, and “you’ll have to see whether the couple make it,” McCartney said.

Alps

Mountain water fills the canal in Annecy, France. The town’s narrow passageways spread out in all directions, lined by stony churches and town houses, some gray and Gothic, some painted in sherbet hues. The scene is like something from a medieval storybook.

Continued from C1 Better still, thanks to efficient train and bus systems, slaloming between destinations — and through some breathtaking Alpine landscapes — doesn’t risk any broken limbs.

Picture-perfect Annecy After a nearly four-hour train journey from Paris, I stepped into the streets of Annecy, which seemed to have sprung from a medieval storybook. Narrow passageways spread out in all directions, lined by stony churches and town houses, some gray and Gothic, some painted in sherbet hues. Canals and waterways, rushing with cold mountain water, cut through the town, which is sometimes called “the Venice of the Alps.” From a hilltop in the center, a crenellated fortress known as the Château-Musée lorded over the landscape, backed by snow-covered summits.

On this Tuesday morning in January, a scene worthy of a Gallic Norman Rockwell was playing out: Swans floated in the canals, old women with shopping caddies and bundled-up throngs crossed small bridges, wishing one another “bonjour” with steamy breath before heading to bakeries redolent of warm baguettes. A postman pedaled a yellow bicycle over the cobblestones and past the town’s most famous street, Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

Though born in Geneva, the autobiographer and philosopher grew up in Annecy, where he found abundant material — romantic, sexual, scandalous — for his celebrated “Confessions.” In 1728 the 16-year-old Rousseau arrived on the slender street that bears his name and became the ward of one Madame de Warens, an aristocrat 12 years his senior.

“I had imagined a sour-faced pious old lady,” he wrote in his autobiography. But “I saw a gracefully molded face, beautiful blue eyes filled with sweetness, a shining skin, the shape of an enchanting figure.”

He called her “maman.” She found him small jobs in Annecy, encouraged his musical education — and then became his lover when he was just out of his teens.

The affair lasted several years until Rousseau, jealous that she had a fling with another man, took off for Paris and began a writing career that included an erotically charged best-selling novel, a pastoral opera and “The Social Contract,” his treatise on individualism and the relationship between citizens and governments. De Warens eventually fell into poverty and died broke.

Today Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau remains one of the loveliest in the town. As I strolled past stone mansions, clarinet scales drifted into the clear, cold air from the windows of a conservatory, and in a storefront a young violin maker stood in a pile of wood shavings, patiently restoring a 19th-century specimen.

“Rousseau was the tutor to the kids in a family of nobles in this building,” said the craftsman, Gregory Carmantrand.

The majestic house where Rousseau took his music lessons when he was younger (No. 13) still stands across from the very white St. Pierre Cathedral, where he played flute. Inside, sheltered from the noonday chill, an organist practiced hymns on the 2,000-pipe instrument, filling the vaulted space with haunting tones.

Cheese worship On Rue Ste. Claire, an open-air produce market — dating back as far as the 12th century — was in full swing. Steam rose from piles of heated frankfurters and sauerkraut at a stand selling Alsatian choucroute garnie. A nearby table was laden with dry sausage that combined pork with meat from a Noah’s Ark of animals: bull, boar, duck, deer, ostrich.

Regional cheeses, from tiny, pungent white discs of St. Marcellin to huge wheels of golden cheeses from Savoy, were piled at adjacent stalls.

“We call this one the prince of cheese,” declared Dominique Villard as she offered a firm, earthy hunk of Beaufort.

The cheese worship reached its zenith that night as I followed hungry hordes into the bright dining rooms of the rustic Le Freti restaurant to pay homage to fromage, notably fondue, the Alps’ celebrated winter comfort food. Brandishing long threepronged forks, the crowd looked like a band of gleeful devils roasting their victims as they skewered bread chunks, gherkins and smoked meats that they dunked into cauldrons of molten cheese.

I ordered a traditional Fondue Savoyarde, a combination of Comte, Beaufort, Emmentaler

A musician performs at jazz club La Soupe aux Chou, in Grenoble, France, earlier this month. Grenoble, a city of around 160,000, does not have a ski area of its own, but it is surrounded by majestic peaks and can be a base for skiers. and Fribourg that was velvety, tangy and sweet all at once. By the time I staggered with bloated belly back into the frigid night, the full moon overhead almost seemed to be made of cheese as well.

Intellectual Grenoble Another train journey took me under snowcapped summits, over rushing rivers, through forests of white-bark trees, past hilltop castles and at last to Grenoble, a city of around 160,000. Grenoble does not have a ski area of its own, but it is surrounded by majestic peaks and can be a base for skiers.

Sipping a morning cafe creme in the Art Nouveau-style Cafe de la Table Ronde, said to be the second-oldest existing cafe in France, you could easily imagine that Grenoble is another charming relic, a larger Annecy. Outside, the 13th-century red-brick church of St. Andre and the majestic Gothic- and Renaissancestyle former Parliament building cut stately figures.

But Grenoble, a bastion of the French Resistance during World War II, has long bubbled with progressive ideas. Jacques de Vaucanson, an 18th-century forefather of robotics and cybernetics, grew up there before moving to Paris and creating magnificent human-like mechanical automatons that thrilled the gilded salons of Europe. (An exhibition devoted to his work is on view at the city’s Musee Dauphinois through June.)

The modern French novel also traces its roots to Grenoble, thanks to a native son named Henri Beyle. Witty, acerbic and disgusted by bourgeois values, he reinvented himself under the name Stendhal and went on to write “The Red and the Black,” his gritty tale of social climbing, seduction, religious skepticism and violence in post-Napoleonic France. (A new Stendhal museum is scheduled to open at the end of

the year.)

Today, the city is a major university and scientific research center. As I walked through its medieval and Baroque core, sleek trams whooshed past church facades, and gaggles of students filled the bars of Place Ste. Claire.

Thanks to forward-looking venues like MC2, a public theater and concert space, and Le Magasin, a contemporary art space in a 1900 industrial building made by Gustave Eiffel’s workshop, Grenoble is the region’s cultural capital as well.

“It’s a very modern city with its eyes on the future,” said Helene Vincent, the head curator at the Musee de Grenoble, as she sat on a Le Corbusier couch in an airy white exhibition room. “The Musée de Grenoble was the very first museum of modern art in France.

It was the first museum to put together a collection of artists from the early 20th century.”

The evidence was displayed around us — a room full of Matisses; a wall of Picassos; masterworks by Braque, Leger, Magritte, Klee, Signac, Bonnard and Chagall (who will be the star of a blockbuster exhibition from March until mid-June). Credit for much of the collection — and the foresight to champion and exhibit such artists when no other French museums were doing so — goes to Pierre Andry-Farcy, who arrived in Grenoble in 1919 to become the curator of a little-known municipal art museum that had almost no budget for acquisitions. Unable to buy paintings, Andry-Farcy (as he was commonly called) came up with a novel arrangement: He would ask painters to donate their works in exchange for a promise to exhibit them.

Nightlife Come evening, the city’s theaters, music bars, indie cinemas and bookstores draw culturehungry throngs. On a Thursday

night in late January, the Grenews newspaper was filled with options. The “Festival of Cursed Films” — featuring campy sci-fi and monster-movie classics? A one-man “social-pornographic opera” at 102, an alternative performance space in a former industrial building? A tribute to American jazz masters Nat and Cannonball Adderley at La Soupe aux Choux, Grenoble’s premier jazz joint?

I cast my lot with Daphne, a 30-something French singer, who was performing at a churchturned-performance venue called Theatre Ste. Marie-d’en-Bas. Dressed in a shimmery dark dress and surrounded by an all-male five-piece band, she looked part diva and part deity underneath the Corinthian columns and soaring arches.

Soon her breathy, girlish voice was filling the vaulted space with surrealist poetry and nocturnal lament, set against melodies that ranged from lounge jazz to acoustic ballads to Latin rhythms to rock to waltzes. Shifting from French to English, she launched into a plaintive number called “Even Orphans Have Their Kingdom.” “It’s Your Kingdom/It’s Your Kingdom” she sang as the full-house audience sat rapt.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, February 27, 2011 C5 in a silvery ice bucket shooting fireworks.

“They always want more here!” shouted Gregory Ferrary Berthelot, a 30-ish broker of luxury real estate, as I sipped a glass of cheapie 11-euro Scotch. He seemed almost as disbelieving as I was.

“I showed a 61-million-euro, 700-square-meter, five-bedroom chalet to a Russian client and he said, ‘Why are the rooms so small?’ There are no limits here!”

“And most people here at Courchevel don’t even ski.” added his wife, Emma.

When I admitted that I didn’t either, she was unfazed. “Come to party! If you know St. Tropez, it’s the same here, but on the snow!”

If you go G ETTING AROUND T h e Geneva airport is a good entry point for those flying in.

From Paris, trains from Charles de Gaulle Airport or Gare de Lyon to Annecy, Grenoble and Moutiers (near Courchevel) generally cost 60 to 100 euros (about $80 to $132 at $1.32 to the euro) each way (raileurope-world.com). From Annecy to Grenoble, a ticket costs 18 euros. Trains between Grenoble and Moutiers-Salins cost around 20 euros oneway. From Moutiers-Salins, Transavoie buses (altibus.com) make the one-hour trip up to the Courchevel ski resort; fare is 10 euros.

GRENOBLE The centrally located Hôtel de l’Europe (2, Place Grenette; 334-76-46-16-94; hoteleurope.fr) has a minimalist-cool design and doubles from 45 euros.

Le Diferent (4, Place Ste. Claire; 33-4-76-15-32-88; diferent.fr) serves light fare to an arty, intellectual crowd. A meal for two is about 40 euros.

A similar clientele frequents Le Tonneau de Diogene (6, Place Notre-Dame; 33-4-76-42-3840), the city’s “philosophical cafe,” which hosts periodic debates and lectures. Foie gras ravioli and other traditional French fare is the specialty at the 18th-century Cafe de la Table Ronde (7, Place St. Andre; 33-4-76-44-51-41), a former haunt of Stendahl’s and Rousseau’s. Three courses for two run about 80 euros.

Grenoble’s top art museums are the Musée de Grenoble (5, Place de Lavalette; 33-4-7663-44-44; museedegrenoble. fr), home to France’s best collection of modern art outside of Paris, and Le Magasin (155, Cours Berriat; 33-4-76-21-95-84; magasincnac.org), which hosts contemporary art shows.

Other worthy cultural venues include: MC2 (4, Rue Paul Claudel; 33-4-76 00 79 00; mc2grenoble.fr); the Theatre Ste. Marie-d’En-Bas (38, Rue Très Cloitres, 33-4-76-4201-50); and 102 (102, Rue d’Alembert; 33-4-76-70-12-00; le102.net), a grungy bastion of experimental music, theater and film.

Courchevel indulgence Yet another train took me on the nearly two-hour journey to the tiny frozen town of MoutiersSalins-Brides-les-Bains, where a bus shuttled a smattering of passengers higher into the Alps. The bohemia of Grenoble vanished far behind, and Courchevel, an Olympus for billionaires, came into view. It was time for a day and night of indulgence — or at least modest indulgence — and no mountain village in France seemed better equipped to furnish it.

With its winding, snow-coated streets and timbered mansions, the town looked like a large-scale gingerbread village. Overhead, an occasional whirring helicopter crossed the blue sky while a sea of gondolas ferried folks up the slopes. In the streets below, the clip-clop of horse carriages mingled with the zip-zip of nylon winter pants as Saturday masses poked into the ritzy La Croix ski shop (where a salesman confided a plan to make “skis with diamonds in them”) and headed off to treatments in hotel spas by Carita, Nuxe, Givenchy and the like.

Some paused outside the Hermes boutique to admire a huge bird making love to a plump woman: a statue of Leda and the Swan by Fernando Botero. It’s one of about two dozen statues by sculptors like Salvador Dalí and Cesar, deployed around Courchevel this season.

“This is the winter St. Tropez — very bling-bling, gilded youth from all over the world,” said Cyrille Ricklin, manager of Le Paddock, one of the few two-star hotels in Courchevel’s galaxy of five-star crash pads.

Opened a couple of years ago, Le Paddock somehow manages to be both stylish and affordable (with rooms from 85 euros, or $113 at $1.32 to the euro): the perfect base for those of us without an Amex Centurion card or a hospital wing in our name. Rick-

lin added that you don’t need to be rich, or know how to ski, to appreciate the town.

“Many people come here because it’s beautiful,” he said.

“Many come to shop, go to restaurants, to go out at night, to party.”

No limits My own nonski itinerary consisted of a gondola trip to La Saulire, the resort’s highest point, and a visit to Galeries Bartoux (which also has a branch in New York City) where I ogled works

by Dalí, Foujita, Picasso and Robert Indiana.

By sundown, Courchevel was buzzing with a boisterous aprèsski scene. In the sexy designmagazine interior of the Cheval Blanc hotel — which boasts a Givenchy spa, a Marc Jacobs boutique and contemporary art collection — I found my own bliss with a silver pot of hot chocolate (at a comparatively tame 10 euros), Brazilian jazz and glimpses of an experimental art video made by Haruki Murakami and Kanye West.

At the dinner hour, Courchevel transforms into a gastronome’s Shangri-La. With an official population of barely 2,000 and a total of 10 Michelin stars, the town has more starred spots than cities like Marseille, the second-largest metropolis in France.

But epicurean bargain-hunters need remember only two words: Il Vino. The French-Italian restaurant won its first star last year, becoming the town’s most recent addition to the Michelin constellation. Equally impressive, its owner, Enrico Bernardo, is a winner of the award for world’s best sommelier (in 2004), and his restaurant has a 15-page wine list.

Within the packed farmhousechic dining room, a din of polyglot chatter — French, English, Arabic, Italian, Russian — resounded from tables strewn with blinking BlackBerrys.

“You have to come during the week!” shouted Bernard Mauruc, a doctor from Toulouse.

“The girls dance on the tables. I was here Thursday, and it was crazy!”

As if on cue, the atmosphere heated up. A blonde in a low-cut dress wrapped a scarf seductively around his neck. Then a man approached and planted a rose in her cleavage with a cackle.

As the theme to “The Love Boat” burst through the bar, a table of women stood up to dance. By the time “I Will Survive” was pumping, nearly everyone in the room was standing — on tables, on the bar and even the piano — and shout-singing along.

Suddenly the dance music stopped and the theme to “Star Wars” began to boom. It was not to trumpet the arrival of Darth Vader but rather Dom Perignon — a magnum of it (1,000 euros a pop) ordered by a table of European businessmen. It was carried over the head of a waiter

Beach weddings are enchanting, but be sure to have a plan B (and C)

By Helen Anders Cox Newspapers

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas — There have been weddings staged on the beach just hours ahead of a hurricane’s arrival.

There have been grooms who’ve gone fishing or golfing the day before the wedding and shown up severely sunburned with raccoon eyes from their sunglasses.

There was the aggressive friend of the bride who asked the wedding planner, “Is the sand going to be this sandy tomorrow?”

And there was the father who walked his bride down the aisle with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other.

“I asked him, ‘Can I hold your beer?’ and he said no. He just walked her down the aisle like that,” says Jackie Wilson, who plans and photographs weddings with her husband, Jerry, on South Padre Island, where knot-tying can sometimes get a bit frayed.

When it comes to destination weddings, there’s no destination that’s quite as tricky as the beach. The Wilsons have dealt with everything from freaky weather and beach bum grooms to ’zillas — and they’re usually not talking about the brides.

“It’s really more the mothers,” Jackie Wilson says. “That’s why I have a password on my website for each bride. Nobody can make changes to the wedding without the password.” That keeps moms from overruling brides.

With all the challenges, though, there’s something special about a couple getting married on the beach, with the wind blowing the bride’s hair and the Gulf of Mexico in the background.

“What a destination wedding really is is a wedding surrounded by a family reunion,” says Jerry

Wilson. “We love doing this.”

That doesn’t make it easy.

The Wilsons, whose South Padre Weddings (southpadreweddings.com) slogan is “Just bring the dress; we’ll do the rest,” hold most of their weddings about six miles north of the town of South Padre Island, up beyond any condos or other development.

That keeps foot traffic to a minimum, but it doesn’t mean the odd beach bum won’t wander by.

The No. 1 hazard for beach weddings is, of course, the weather.

“There’s always a plan B,” Jackie Wilson says, “and there’s usually a plan C and D.” “Plan A 1/2 is tents,” Jerry Wilson throws in. Schedules are often moved up to skirt hurricanes, he says. One wedding wound up on CNN just moments before the party evacuated ahead of Hurricane Dolly.

The Wilsons enjoy weddings on the beach, but they try to talk people out of having their receptions there. All that sand doesn’t always mix well with food, especially if winds are high, which they often are. And there are other considerations, like portable potties.

“We’ll do it, but it’s expensive,” Jerry Wilson says.

In almost every case, the couple decides to have the reception in a venue with walls. Among the most popular is the indooroutdoor Louie’s Backyard restaurant, which faces the Laguna Madre (the bay). Revelers can watch the sun set and not have to worry about sand in the cake.

The Wilsons work with a wide range of budgets. They say the recession has shrunk attendance at destination weddings. The average attendance is 30 now; five years ago, it was 50.

Jackie Wilson says she has an inner radar for families that

will be more trouble than they’re worth.

“I can tell if it’s a nervous bride and if this girl has got such grandiose ideas that you’re never going to be able to meet their expectations,” Jackie Wilson says.

“I give her the name of another wedding planner.”

The Wilsons fondly recall their favorite ceremonies, such as a beautiful military wedding — the Wilsons offer military couples discounts — where the groom and best man planned in advance to face off at the question of whether anyone in the assemblage could show cause why the couple should not be joined.

“The groom and best man did a half-draw with their swords,” Jerry Wilson recalls. Tension gave way to laughter; it was a wedding no one would forget.

Violins of Cremona He explains how Cremona became a hotbed of violin makers. “It all started with this guy named Nicolo Amati,” with whom Stradivari is thought to have apprenticed.

The apprenticeship paid. During his time as a working professional, “Stradivari was selling to kings and queens. He was selling to the king of Spain. He sold and did a commission for a viola, two violins and a cello to the Duke of Medici.”

In short, “he became the guy,” Forsen says.

The younger Guarneri (16981744) hailed from a family of violin makers in Cremona. In his time, Guarneri was very likely the local guy making the instruments fathers bought for their sons who were learning to play violin.

In the early 19th century, a prominent Italian violinist, Niccolò Paganini, started playing a Guarneri: “That was when Guarneri came to the forefront, but only to players. That’s what’s so fascinating.”

When Stradivari died in 1737, and Guarneri a few years later, violin making in Cremona vanished with them, Forsen notes in his director’s statement for the film. He notes that his documentary explores the debate over whether the instruments should be played or should instead be protected.

“They are works of art. You look at them, they’re beautiful, and they’re 300 years old,” Forsen says. “They’re as valuable as any piece of art in the Louvre, but these are working tools for these violinists, and day in, day out, they scratch them, they sweat on them, they carry them through airports all around the world. But, unlike the Mona Lisa that sits there behind glass in the Louvre, these things are working tools.”

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011: This year, you see life with more seriousness and carefully weigh life’s many opportunities. You will alternate between being happy, content and mellow, and studious, serious and quiet. Many people experience you as a revolving door of emotions. Your innate sensitivity to loved ones, friends and workplace associates helps you work through any issues your mood swings could cause. Use care financially, too. If you are single, continue dating until you feel extremely comfortable with someone. If you are attached, you are a handful for your sweetie. Be kind. CAPRICORN is a friend.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Once more, others seek you out for guidance. You might be giving some thought to changing this role. Your instincts guide you with an older relative or friend. You understand much more than you realize. Tonight: Check in with a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Reach out for someone at a distance. You like what is happening between you. Perhaps the time has come to plan on meeting halfway. Follow your instincts through any perceived problems. Head home if you’re tired. Tonight: Surf the Internet.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH A partner has news.

Friendship plays a significant role in an important relationship.

Nurture this friendship. A gettogether with friends could be distorted and a lot of fun. Be careful with a loved one whose feelings are easily bruised. Tonight: Add more romance to your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Some of the responsibilities you normally carry could be lessened. A parent or someone older whom you enjoy appreciates your attention. A family member could be out of sync.

Tonight: Go along with plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Why not try to open up and share more of what you are going through? Someone who cares a lot might be unusually testy. Try to understand where this person is coming from. A friend could be causing you a lot of problems.

Tonight: Put your feet up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH You wake up feeling mischievous, and you end the day the same. If you are attached, a partner could be delighted to see this side of you. If you are single, a potential suitor finds you interesting. Tonight: So what if tomorrow is a workday?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Staying close to home is your pleasure. Whether reading the Sunday paper or taking time to play a game with others, you relax.

Give yourself time to recharge.

You will be happier, and so will others. Tonight: Make it easy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Make calls, connect with

others and stay on top of news.

Meet others for a late brunch.

Though the phone does work, visiting in person is very different.

Don’t be surprised if a neighbor stops you for a short while. Tonight: Return calls; make a to-do list.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Be aware of a very possessive streak that can cause you to become unnecessarily competitive. Relax and just accept who you are. An emotional risk could play out. Use care with a money risk. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You are in tiptop shape, ready for anything. You come from a position where you feel secure with a child or loved one.

Maintain a comfortable level.

You need to be with family.

Tonight: You spark another person’s interest and energy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Tune in to yourself. Whether deciding to go for a drive in a forest, go to the mountains or maybe just go to the movies, make choices for yourself. Center yourself and let go of recent pressure. Make it OK to be alone. Others will understand.

Tonight: Vanish while you can.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Join friends. What you do is not necessarily important; it is the company that counts.

Say “no” to someone who wants you to work or do something for him or her. Maybe tomorrow.

Tonight: Where the action is. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Ramshackle, tiny house or upscale fort?

Materials are salvaged, decor is whimsical, and interiors are less than commodious

By Joyce Wadler New York Times News Service

STOUGHTON, Mass. — A house tour is the highlight of a visit with a proud homeowner, but when one drops in to see Derek Diedricksen, who makes playful micro-shelters out of junk, it is less so. Possibly because the temperature up here on a cold winter day is less so, possibly because his square footage is less so.

At about 24 square feet, the Gypsy Junker, made primarily out of shipping pallets, castoff storm windows and a neighbor’s discarded kitchen cabinets, is the largest of Diedricksen’s backyard structures. The Hickshaw, a sleeper built on a rolling cedar lounge chair — or as Diedricksen calls it, “a rickshaw for hicks” — is considerably smaller, at 21⁄2 feet wide by 61⁄2 feet deep. The Boxy Lady, two cubes on a long pallet, is the smallest — 4 feet tall at its highest point.

In terms of ingenuity, thrift and charm, Diedricksen’s tiny structures are hard to beat.

Made of scavenged materials, they cost, on average, less than $200 to build. They often have transparent roofing, which allows a fine view of the treetops, particularly in the smallest ones, where the most comfortable position is supine. They have loads of imaginative and decorative details — a porthole-like window salvaged from a front-loading washing machine, a flip-down metal counter taken from the same deceased washer. Diedricksen hates to throw anything away.

Still, the structures are neither warm nor commodious, and the reporter’s note-taking is hampered by blowing on her hands.

It is so cold, in fact, that in deference to the reader, whose nose is no doubt starting to run, we shall

30 inches and a length of 7 feet.

Scrunched inside with Diedricksen, the reporter finds she cannot move her elbows more than a few inches from her body.

On to the Boxy Lady, which is even smaller: two plywood cubes mounted side by side on a slab of wood, with a post leg and two wheels. The larger cube, which one might think of as the living space, is just under 4 feet square.

The smaller is 2 feet high, 28 inches wide and 3 feet long.

There is a round hole in the smaller box to accommodate one’s legs, if one wishes to stretch

out — say, perhaps, to expire.

The reporter squeezes in, Diedricksen follows. The reporter wishes she could remember how this was physically possible, but she cannot, possibly because of that Jack London thing where your mind drifts in extreme cold.

Diedricksen gallantly holds the door shut as wind whips through an authentic knot hole.

The window has lettering on it, the reporter notices, but she is unable to lift her head to read it.

“Not to be filled with any other liquid,” Diedricksen reads. “It’s a water cooler jug.”

“I’ve always been obsessed with tiny architecture,” says Derek Diedricksen in his “Hickshaw” micro-shelter at his home in Stoughton, Mass.

Diedricksen’s Gypsy Junker, at 24 square feet, is his largest structure. He built it primarily out of shipping pallets, castoff storm windows and a neighbor’s discarded kitchen cabinets go indoors for a spell, that one might consider Diedricksen’s accomplishments in comfort.

They are many: There is his self-published graphic instruction book, “Humble Homes Simple Shacks Cozy Cottages Ramshackle Retreats Funky Forts,” the first edition of which was “hand-assembled” and “locally printed” (in his living room); having sold 1,500 copies, it will be reissued by the Lyons Press next year. There is his YouTube series, “Tiny Yellow House,” which is shot whenever his brother-in-

law, a videographer, has some free time, most recently in the auto-body shop of a fan because, as Diedricksen notes, when it is 10 degrees you don’t want to film outside.

Diedricksen makes a living doing carpentry and spends a lot of time as Mr. Mom to his two young children, but he has also been a comic book writer, a DJ and a home inspector, and is also a drummer in a Rage Against the Machine tribute band called Age Against the Machine. (The World Wrestling Entertainment

theme song for the wrestler Jack Swagger, “Get on Your Knees”?

His band wrote that.) Even the little structures he makes, with their multiple uses — fort-guest bedroom-festival sleeper-homeless shelter — are tough to categorize.

“I’ve always been obsessed with tiny architecture,” Diedricksen says, sandwiching in his life story between rounds of playing with the kids. “For my 10th birthday, my father gave me a book, ‘Tiny Houses,’ by Lester Walker, an architect.”

What did Diedricksen envision the Gypsy Junker as being?

“Originally, it was going to be a place to brainstorm for my book and my designs,” he says.

“There’s no better place than inside someplace that is unconventional and bizarre. It helps you think outside the box instead of sitting in some white-walled room. And my son’s first campout was here.”

Heartwarming, though since Diedricksen has not offered to demonstrate his heating system, it is not heating any other part of the reporter, so we move briskly on to the next structure.

The Hickshaw is considerably shorter and smaller, with a slanting roof between 3 feet and 4 feet 10 inches tall, a width of about

PREP WRESTLING

Culver makes it five straight state titles

“Coach always says to be relentless,” said Kasch, who even with a 6-2 lead in the third period of his title match remained aggressive, eventually defeating Heppner’s Jared Lemmon 10-3 with a pair of late takedowns. “Don’t stop attacking.”

Gonzalez recorded the only takedown of the match in his 3-2 victory over Nestucca junior Valery Silva. Posting a first-period takedown, Gonzalez controlled the rest of the match as Silva’s only points came from a pair of escapes.

Sochi chooses mascots for 2014 MOSCOW — Sochi’s mascots for the 2014 Winter Olympics are a rad snowboarding snow leopard (pictured), a squeaky-voiced figure skating bunny and an earnest, slightly dorky polar bear.

The unusual decision to have three mascots was announced by Sochi organizing committee head Dmitry Chernyshenko on Saturday at the end of a nationally televised gala to choose them.

Viewers could vote from among nine candidates by phone calls and text messages. More than 1 million votes were cast, according to the program.

When the candidates were introduced to the nation in early February, there had been 10. But one of them was a representation of Ded Moroz, the Russian analogue of Santa Claus, and on Saturday officials said he had been pulled out because the mascot would become the property of the International Olympic Committee, and it was unthinkable that the gift-bearing, white-bearded man would in effect belong to someone else.

The top vote recipient was the leopard; perhaps not coincidentally, he was also the favorite of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

PORTLAND — The Culver Bulldogs just do not let up.

The Bulldogs charged to their fifth consecutive Class 2A/1A state wrestling title Saturday night, winning two of their four championship finals at Memorial Coliseum.

Finestone took a few minutes to complete the one-lap course, utilizing something more akin to a hopping or galloping motion than a run, but it got the job done. Cheering and waiting at the finish stood one of his High Desert chapter teammates, Michelle Swager, 41, who enveloped Finestone in a hug when he crossed the line.

Power-play goal lifts Stars over Predators The Associated Press DALLAS — The Dallas Stars traded for Alex Goligoski to add scoring punch to their defensive corps.

Goligoski delivered a lucky goal, then set up the game-winner to give his new team two precious points in a tight playoff race.

Loui Eriksson converted Goligoski’s setup for the go-ahead, power-play goal with 3:42 left in the Stars’ 3-2 victory on Saturday that sent the Nashville Predators to their fourth straight loss.

While Nashville captain Shea Weber served a boarding penalty, Eriksson set up in front of the net and redirected Goligoski’s shot past Pekka Rinne for his 21st goal.

Earlier in the third period, Goligoski scored his first goal since being acquired by the Stars from Pittsburgh on Monday.

He tied it at two at 6:02 when his dump-in hit defenseman Jonathon Blum, changed direction and fluttered by Rinne.

O R E G O N S TAT E MEN’S BASKETBALL

S B

OSU gives up early lead, falls to California

Baseball • Oregon earns shutout over Saint Mary’s: Madison Boer, a junior from Eden Prairie, Minn., pitched shutout ball into the eighth inning Saturday afternoon, leading the Ducks (3-3) to a 3-0 victory and drawing this weekend’s three-game series against Saint Mary’s (2-3) at one game apiece in front of 1,245 at PK Park. Boer (2-0) pitched 7 1⁄3 innings, surrendering five hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven Gaels.

Both of his wins have come after UO losses, and he hasn’t allowed a run in 15 1⁄3 innings of work this season, holding opponents to a .122 batting average.

• Beavers fall to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi: Parker Berberet went three-for-four and hit Oregon State’s first home run of the season, but the Beavers’ late comeback fell short in an 8-7 loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Saturday night at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Down 8-6 entering the ninth, Oregon State scored a run to make it 8-7 when Andrew Susac singled up the middle, scoring Tyler Smith, who had walked to start the inning. But Islanders’ reliever Michael Boyle was able to get Luke Acosta on a strikeout with runners on second and third to end the game.

Tennis • Djokovic defeats Federer in Dubai final: Novak Djokovic defeated Roger Federer for the second time in a month to win his third consecutive Dubai Championships title in United Arab Emirates. The third-ranked Djokovic won 6-3, 6-3 Saturday to extend his unbeaten record to 12 matches. He topped Federer in the semifinals en route to winning the Australian Open last month.

Federer was a break up in the second set before Djokovic reeled off the last four games for the win.

• Zvonareva beats No. 1 Wozniacki in Qatar final: Vera Zvonareva defeated top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki 6-4, 6-4 Saturday to win the Qatar Ladies Open final in Doha, Qatar. The Russian earned her 11th career WTA title and first since Pattaya City a year ago.

• Serb Tipsarevic advances to Delray Beach final: Juan Martin del Potro reached the finals of the Delray Beach International Tennis Championships with a 6-1, 7-5 win over second-seeded Mardy Fish on Saturday. Del Potro, who only played three tournaments in 2010 because of a right-wrist injury, is playing in his first final since winning the 2009 U.S. Open. The Argentine reached the semifinals at San Jose and Memphis en route to playing at Delray Beach.

• Ferrer beats Amalgro to win Mexican Open: Top seed David Ferrer of Spain defeated compatriot Nicolas Almagro 7-6 (5), 6-7 (2), 6-2 to defend his Mexican Open title on Saturday night in Acapulco, Mexico. Ferrer earned his 11th career title and improved to 6-0 against Almagro. After trading tiebreaks in two evenly contested sets, Ferrer broke Almagro’s serve three times in the third set to claim victory.

Skiing • Vonn wins first race since concussion 3 weeks ago: Lindsey Vonn won a World Cup downhill race on Saturday in Are, Sweden, three weeks after sustaining a concussion that curtailed her world championship run. Vonn was slightly behind Tina Maze of Slovenia at the first time split on the Olympia course, but won in 1 minute, 40.93 seconds. Maze was 0.13 seconds behind Vonn, while overall World Cup leader Maria Riesch of Germany finished third. Vonn withdrew from the late stages of the world championships on Feb. 14 because of the lingering effects of a concussion. Vonn crashed during training on Feb. 2 in Austria.

• Italian wins World Cup super-combined: Christof Innerhofer produced a strong super-G run to win Saturday’s World Cup super-combined race ahead of Felix Neureuther in Bansko, Bulgaria. The Italian, who won the super-G world title two weeks ago, finished 11th in the slalom earlier Saturday, but rallied for the combined win in 2 minutes, 23.87 seconds.

Neureuther of Germany was only 0.01 seconds behind, while Thomas Mermillod Blondin of France finished third. Ted Ligety of the United States was fourth.

Auto racing • Edwards sets track record at Phoenix: Carl Edwards had the fastest lap on one of the fastest days ever at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Ariz., setting a track record Saturday to earn the pole and a chance to win two straight races in the desert. Edwards, coming off a second-place finish at the Daytona 500, ran a lap of 137.279 mph to barely edge Kurt Busch on the final qualifying session before the track is repaved.

• Kyle Busch earns chance for perfect weekend: Polesitter Kyle Busch dominated early and held off Carl Edwards late for the Nationwide Series’ first wire-to-wire win in seven years on Saturday, setting up the chance for a perfect weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. Busch had race No. 2 looking like a walkover until Edwards made several charges late, pulling beside him three times in the final 20 laps. Busch never let him get around, though, leading a record 200 laps on the bumpy mile oval to become the first green-to-checkers Nationwide winner since Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Darlington in 2004.

Football • NFL labor committee updates owners on negotiations: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league’s top labor negotiator used this week’s annual scouting combine to update owners on the collective bargaining negotiations.

In an e-mail to The Associated Press, league spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed Saturday that Goodell and Jeff Pash met Friday with the owners’ labor committee at the Colts’ team complex.

Colts owner Jim Irsay, Aiello said, did not participate because he was out of town. “There was a meeting yesterday at the Colts’ offices of the ownership’s labor committee for another update from the negotiating team,” Aiello wrote. The two sides spent seven straight days negotiating in front of federal mediator George Cohen in Washington before talks ended Thursday. They are scheduled to resume Tuesday.

Stanford ends losing streak with victory over Oregon PAC - 1 0 R O U N D U P

The Associated Press EUGENE — With Stanford on the verge of its longest losing streak in 18 years, Josh Owens helped get his team back on track.

Owens scored a career-best 31 points with 11 rebounds, and the Cardinal defeated Oregon 88-71 on Saturday.

“Josh had an amazing (game),” Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. “That’s the best game he’s played in his career for us. He’s very proud. We kind of challenged him, and I thought he really responded.”

Jeremy Green added 15 points and Dwight Powell had 11 points and 11 rebounds for the Cardinal (14-14, 7-10 Pac-10), who had lost four straight. A fifth defeat would have been the most in a row for Stanford since it ended the 199293 season with six straight losses.

“It feels good just to end that streak,” Green said. “When we were losing, everyone was down.

To finally get a win, you know, the locker room’s happy, the plane ride’s going to be happy.”

Aaron Bright scored 13 points and Anthony Brown 12 for the Cardinal, who outshot the Ducks 59 percent to 44 percent and outrebounded them 36-21.

Malcolm Armstead led the Ducks (14-14, 7-9) with 22 points.

Jay-R Strowbridge had 16 points and Johnathan Loyd 11.

“Owens was a beast in the middle,” Loyd said. “He rebounded a lot, got a double-double and was

playing harder than we were.

Their whole team was playing harder than we were.”

After winning seven of 10 games, Oregon has dropped two straight after a weekend sweep

by California and Stanford.

“We lost our edge and we need to get it back,” Loyd said. “We need to play with a chip on our shoulder.”

Owens, whose previous scoring high was 21 points against Oklahoma State on Dec. 21, was 12 for 15 from the field.

With the Cardinal trailing 1813 early in the first half, Owens hit a jumper from the baseline to ignite a 14-3 run that turned the game in Stanford’s favor.

Anthony Brown and Jeremy Green followed Owens’ shot with back-to-back three pointers, and Owens scored inside to put the Cardinal up 23-18 with 9:12 to play in the half.

Garrett Sim made a threepointer for the Ducks, but Green answered with a jumper from the free-throw line. Owens scored off a long pass following an Oregon miss to make it 27-21 Stanford.

The Cardinal outscored Oregon 7-2 in the final 1:41 to extend their advantage to 43-34 by halftime.

“We just tried to go out there and focus on the defensive end,” Green said.

Stanford did not let up in the

second half. After missing its first two shots after intermission, the Cardinal converted eight of their next 10 attempts to take a 62-44 lead with 12:08 remaining.

“It was important for us to get a win,” Dawkins said. “We’re all battling down the stretch run in Pac-10 play and we’re trying to get some momentum and just see what we can do going into the (Pac-10) tournament.”

Also on Saturday: UCLA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 71 No. 10 Arizona . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 49 LOS ANGELES — Reeves Nelson had a career-high 27 points and 16 rebounds, and UCLA defeated Arizona to tie the Wildcats for first place in the Pac-10.

Joshua Smith added 17 points and Tyler Honeycutt had 15 for the Bruins (21-8), who share the league’s top spot at 12-4 with two games remaining. They have won 12 of 14 after being out of the top 25 all season.

Southern California . . . . . . . . . 62 Arizona State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46 LOS ANGELES — Nikola Vucevic finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, and Southern California had little trouble beating Arizona State. USC’s conference-leading defense harassed the Sun Devils into their worst shooting effort of the season as the Trojans won their fourth straight and fifth in six tries.

CORVALLIS — The California Golden Bears did not sweat a slow start. They are getting used to coming from behind.

Allen Crabbe scored 26 points, Markhuri Sanders-Frison added 16 and California overtook Oregon State in the second half of an 87-76 win Saturday.

Jorge Gutierrez had 14 points and nine assists and Harper Kamp added 12 points for the Golden Bears (16-13, 9-8 Pac-10), who fell behind by 14 but stormed back to win on the strength of 72 percent second-half shooting. The Bears rolled back a 16-point deficit to beat Oregon on Thursday.

Crabbe was eight-of-12 from the field for Cal, which made 18 of 25 shots in the second half and has improved its postseason prospects with three straight wins.

“We’re winning and that’s all you can ask for,” coach Mike Montgomery said. “But that was definitely the tale of two halves for us.”

Ahmad Starks scored 18 points and Jared Cunningham added 14 for the Beavers (10-17, 511), who lost for the fifth time in six games and saw a 12-point first half lead disappear. They were booed by the home fans at the end of the game. Omari Johnson added 10 points and eight rebounds.

The Beavers came out with urgency and energy, taking an early 10-1 lead. They hit 15 of their first 21 shots, had 10 steals before halftime and led 30-16 on a layup by Calvin Haynes.

However, Cal went on a 12-4 run. Crabbe hit one of his six three-pointers to get the Bears within 34-28. The Beavers still led by six at halftime, but Cal started the second half with a 12-5 run. Richard Solomon converted a threepoint play to give the Bears their first lead at 50-49.

There were five technical fouls called in the game, including four on a single play where Cal’s Sanders-Frison and Brandon Smith and Oregon State’s Joe Burton and Haynes got tangled up.

“I thought in the heat of the battle we got away from the battle plan,” Oregon State coach Craig Robinson said. “It was just enough to get them on a roll.”

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Late run leads Virginia Tech to upset of No. 1 Duke The Associated Press BLACKSBURG, Va. — After three consecutive years of being on the NCAA tournament bubble and winding up disappointed in the NIT, Virginia Tech senior Malcolm Delaney hopes the Hokies made a pretty strong case for inclusion in the big tournament this year.

The Hokies used a late 15-4 run over a span of 4½ minutes to turn a six-point deficit into a five-point lead Saturday night and they held off top-ranked Duke 64-60, getting the badly needed signature victory that could boost their NCAA credentials significantly.

“A lot of teams, down six to Duke, would have just folded up and let Duke put the game away, but we didn’t,” Delaney said of turning a 5347 deficit into a 62-57 lead. “We buckled up and got stops.”

Terrell Bell scored 12 points, including five straight to give Virginia Tech the lead for good with 4:19 to play, and the Blue Devils’ night-long shooting woes never relented.

“Our offense let us down tonight,” Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

The Blue Devils shot under 40 percent and were four for 20 from threepoint range.

The Hokies (19-8, 9-5 Atlantic Coast Conference), got big shots from several players, but none more important than Bell. His three-pointer from the right corner tied it with 4:40 left, and when he was fouled moments later, he said he needed the stoppage to collect himself.

“I definitely had to calm myself,” he said. “It was a big moment for me.

There was a lot going through my mind. I just had to take some deep

Duke’s Miles Plumlee, (21) and Virginia Tech’s Jeff Allen battle for a rebound during the first half of Saturday’s game in Blacksburg, Va. breaths and knock down the free throws.”

He made both, and when Jeff Allen was credited with a basket on goaltending with 2:39 left, the lead was four and it was time for Delaney, the Hokies’ top player, to respond.

After Kyle Singler’s basket, Delaney made his only three-pointer of the night, swishing it in from the top of

the key, building the lead back to five and giving the Hokies some room.

“We were up two. I had to hit that shot,” Delaney said.

The Blue Devils (26-3, 12-2) had chances in the closing minute to pull even when Virginia Tech struggled at the free-throw line but couldn’t capitalize. Duke had its seven-game winning streak snapped, and lost for the first time in the last five against the Hokies.

“It was like an NCAA game,” Krzyzewski said. “It was that level.”

NBA ROUNDUP

Mavericks beat struggling Wizards The Associated Press

Dallas, which has won 15 of 16 overall. Dallas improved to 8-1 in its last nine road games in the opener of a three-game trip.

“Obviously we were disappointed in the way we finished that ballgame, but hey, we got out of here with a win,” Terry said. “This is a stretch where we have games where, let’s be blunt, we should win.”

John Wall had 24 points for Washington, Nick Young scored 14 and Rashard Lewis finished with 13, but it was Wall’s missed free throws that cost the Wizards a chance for a surprising victory.

The Mavericks led 95-86 with four minutes left, but Wall responded with three straight layups. He scored and was fouled

by Jason Kidd on successive plays, but both times missed the free throws.

WASHINGTON — The Dallas Mavericks thought it was business as usual. Up nine against the sad-sack Washington Wizards with four minutes to play, it was time to think about tonight’s game in Toronto.

Not so fast.

Jason Terry scored 25 points, Tyson Chandler had a seasonhigh 23 and 13 rebounds and the Mavericks needed a late surge to beat Washington 105-99 on Saturday night for their fifth consecutive victory.

The Wizards, who have lost five straight and 15 of 16, tied it at 97 on Jordan Crawford’s jumper with 1:36 left. But Chandler scored on a tip and Dirk Nowitzki and Terry each hit two free throws to help Dallas regain control.

“You’re up nine in the fourth early — that’s a situation where you kind of want to go up 15, ice your knees and get on the bus.

It didn’t happen, but at the end of the day we want wins,” Terry said.

Nowitzki added 21 points for

in the Rockets’ first game since trading away Shane Battier and Aaron Brooks.

Martin Kaymer lines up a putt on the 18th green while playing Bubba Watson during the semifinals of the Match Play Championship golf tournament Saturday in Marana, Ariz. Kaymer won 1 up and will play Luke Donald in today’s final.

Kaymer, Donald headed to Match Play Championship GOLF ROUNDUP

The Associated Press MARANA, Ariz. — Martin Kaymer is the new No. 1 in golf, this time without much debate.

Kaymer calmly rolled in an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole Saturday for a 1-up victory over Bubba Watson to advance to the final of the Match Play Championship. That was all he needed to move to No. 1 in the next world ranking.

The 26-year-old German becomes the second-youngest player to be No. 1 since the ranking began in 1986. Tiger Woods was 21 when he reached No. 1 in June 1997.

It ends the 17-week reign of Lee Westwood, who had only three wins on his world ranking ledger when he became No. 1.

Kaymer has won seven times in the last two years, including his first major in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits when he beat Watson in a three-hole playoff.

And another big win might not be too far away.

With his 1-up victory, Kaymer advanced to the championship match today against Luke Donald of England, who set an Accenture Match Play Championship record by needing only 73 holes in five matches to get to the last match.

Kaymer, though, already has reason to celebrate.

“It’s obviously very special for me to be the second German,” he said of the world ranking. Bernhard Langer was the first player to be No. 1 when the ranking debuted at the 1986 Masters. He stayed there for only three weeks.

Even so, more hard work awaits.

No one has been more dominant at Dove Mountain than Donald, who has yet to trail in any of his five matches. Donald only had to play 27 holes in his quarterfinal win over Ryan Moore and his demolition of Matt Kuchar in the semifinals.

It marks the second straight

year for an all-European final in this World Golf Championship.

A year ago, Ian Poulter defeated Paul Casey in the championship match.

Watson, who came into Saturday having played only 43 holes in three matches, faced 37 holes in a long and wild day. Watson was 5 down with eight to play against J.B. Holmes when he staged an amazing comeback.

Holmes hit into the desert at the wrong time and lost in 19 holes.

Kaymer and Watson were all square going to 15 when it turned in favor of the “Germanator.”

Watson tried to play a massive slice on the 334-yard hole with his driver, but it sailed far to the left and into a desert bush. He had to take a penalty drop and gave away the hole.

Then with Kaymer long and right on the par-3 16th, Watson also missed the green and failed to get up-and-down for par, giving Kaymer a 2-up lead with two holes to play.

Watson made a 6-foot birdie putt on the 17th to stay in the match, but his shot from a fairway bunker on the 18th spun off the false front of the green.

Kaymer went long, chipped to 8 feet and made the par.

“The matches I had were very difficult,” said Kaymer, who also went 18 holes in a 1-up win over Miguel Angel Jimenez in the quarterfinals earlier Saturday.

Not so for Donald, who headed to the gym during the final hour of the Kaymer match to work up a sweat. He hasn’t gotten too much of a workout on the golf course through five matches.

A win for Donald would move him up to a career-best No. 3 in the world.

“That would be an added bonus,” Donald said. “I’ll be concentrating on trying to beat whoever I’m playing against and trying to pick up a trophy.”

Donald has been nothing short of brilliant on his recordsetting march to the final.

When he holed a short birdie putt on the par-5 13th to close out Kuchar, it was his 13th birdie in 27 holes he played in quarterfinal and semifinal matches.

Donald has played only 73 holes in five matches, the fewest of anyone to reach the championship match in the 13-year history of this tournament. The previous record was 77 holes by Woods in 2003.

Donald became only the second finalist to have never seen the 18th hole in competition.

Geoff Ogilvy in 2007 was the other. With the format change from 36 holes to 18 holes for Sunday, he could go the entire tournament without playing No. 18.

“Hopefully, I don’t get to it again tomorrow — the right way,” Donald said.

Also on Saturday: Wagner up one stroke in Mexico PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Johnson Wagner shot a 6-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead over Chris Stroud after the third round of the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico. Wagner, the 2008 Houston Open winner, had a 13-under 200 total on the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon course on the Caribbean coast. Stroud, the secondround leader after making eight straight birdies in a 63, shot a 70.

Arimura on top at LPGA event SINGAPORE — Japan’s Chie Arimura shot a 1-under 71 to maintain a one-stroke lead over Australia’s Karrie Webb after the third round of the HSBC Women’s Champions.

The 23-year-old Arimura was steady on the third day of the event, shooting two birdies and one bogey for an 11-under 205 through three rounds. Webb shot 70 to cut Arimura’s lead by one stroke.

Bobcats’ Jordan defends trade, reassures Przybilla

By Mike Cranston The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan was busy on Saturday defending his decision to trade Gerald Wallace and playing a major role in getting a reluctant Joel Przybilla comfortable with his new boss.

In a brief interview with The Associated Press, Jordan said “I love the trade” that sent the former All-Star Wallace to Portland. While the backup center Przybilla was the only likely rotation player Charlotte got in return, Jordan says it gives his club “flexibility” to make future moves because they acquired two first-round picks and cleared salary-cap space.

“I think it’s one of the best trades,” Jordan said.

Jordan said he’s not content with jockeying for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. He believes the deal puts the franchise in better shape ahead of perhaps a lower payroll ceiling in the next labor deal as he tries to build a contender.

“We’re all right,” Jordan said as he left the practice floor. “I like where we are.”

In the short term, the Bobcats must replace Wallace, who was their second leading scorer, and backup center Nazr Mohammed, who was traded to Oklahoma City in a separate deal Thursday.

That’s where the 7-foot-1 Przybilla comes in. He took a red eye flight from Portland early Saturday unsure if he’d be in Charlotte long. He thought he might be bought or released.

“They traded away an All-Star, and I’m an expiring contract,” Przybilla said. “I didn’t know what to expect.”

Przybilla, who passed his physical despite concerns over his surgically repaired right knee, met with Jordan and coach Paul Silas.

“They were honest with me and told me they wanted me here,” the 31-year-old Przybilla said. “That means a lot, especially coming from Michael Jordan. He looked me in the eye and told me this. I’ve never, to be honest, had a general manager tell me that.”

Special Continued from D1 Swager and Finestone are two of 188 athletes from across Oregon who are competing this weekend in the winter regional games. That number includes 23 Special Olympians from the High Desert chapter, which comprises Deschutes and Crook counties. Each year, about 8,000 individuals with intellectual disabilities participate in Special Olympics events held across the state.

In addition to snowshoeing, contests are being held in alpine skiing, cross-country skiing and snowboarding during this weekend’s three-day event, which concludes today. Competition starts at 9 a.m.

After Finestone finished his heat of the 50 meters in his second race of the day, his dad, Justin Finestone, reminded him of a little father-son advice previously dispensed.

“We have a dog named Flash, so I told him, ‘Pretend you’re chasing your dog down the street and run like that,’ ” Justin Finestone said of the family’s Italian greyhound, adding that he was working on getting his son to run down the trail instead of hopping.

“I wasn’t hopping,” protested Ben, a diminutive boy with big brown eyes and an easy smile. “No, I was running.”

While Ben Finestone, Swager and the other snowshoers still had races to run, up on the slopes, Melissa Murray, 27, was wrapping up the competitive portion of her day by early afternoon. After morning practice runs, the Bend resident and the other intermediate-level alpine skiers and snowboarders made single runs of the super-G course for time.

Murray gave nordic skiing and snowboarding a try previously but seems to have found her sport in alpine skiing, which she said is easier and allows her more control. And she enjoys racing.

“I like to try to see if I can go through the gates

and stuff, practice my parallel turns,” said Murray, who looked forward to some free skiing the rest of the afternoon.

The winter regionals weekend is packed with action not only for the participants, but for their coaches as well. Jill Simmons, High Desert chapter program coordinator, headed up to the mountain at 6:45 a.m. Saturday to haul some equipment while her athletes caught a bus to Bachelor 45 minutes later. After the competition, the evening was filled with a dinner, an athletes parade and the opening ceremonies, a coaches meeting and a dance at Summit High School in Bend.

Simmons is completing her first year of volunteering with the Special Olympics organization. She has learned much, she said, about perseverance from working with the High Desert participants.

“It’s just amazing,” Simmons said of watching the Special Olympics athletes. “It reminds you that for all the problems that we have, if they can keep going and do everything that they want to accomplish, that we should be able to do that, too.”

Culver Continued from D1 Culver scored 141.5 points during the two-day tournament, easily topping runner-up Lowell, which finished second with 103.5 points. Gold Beach was third with 99.

“It’s been pretty easy calling the papers this year,” quipped Bulldog coach J.D. Alley, whose team also won its 10th consecutive district tournament this season and finished fourth overall in January at the all-classification Reser’s Tournament of Champions. “You look at just about all those teams (in Class 6A, 5A, 4A and 3A), and other than Roseburg and Hermiston, we’ve hung with all of them.”

Eight of the 12 wrestlers the Bulldogs took to state placed.

In addition to Culver’s two state champions, Noe Gonzalez (103

rany (171) all won in the consolation bracket to finish third; and Jesus Retano (152) lost in the consolation finals and took fourth.

“We pride ourself in that when one guy stubs his toe, someone else is there to pick him up,” Alley said. “Two weeks ago, no one had even heard of Kyle Bender (who as a freshman finished third). … It’s a total team effort to win state. Anybody can put one tough kid out there. But to win state, a lot of little things have to come together.”

The Bulldogs’ title run might not end anytime soon. Of Culver’s nine placers at this state tournament, all but Barany are expected to be back next season.

“We had a lot of confidence coming into this tournament to win our fifth straight title,” Jared Kasch said. “But we’re not letting it stop there. We want to keep this thing going for the next couple of years.”

By Beau Eastes The Bulletin

PORTLAND — No one is ever excited about finishing second.

Wrestlers from Central Oregon’s large schools went zero for six in state finals matches Saturday night, casting a partial cloud over what was a respectable showing for area teams at the 2011 Oregon state wrestling championships at Memorial Coliseum.

Crook County placed third in the Class 4A state championships behind the runner-up finishes of seniors Trevor Wilson (152 pounds) and Trevor Ough (171) and junior Bryson Martin (189). Henley of Klamath Falls won the 4A championship with 172 points, its first wrestling team title ever. Sweet Home finished second with 137 points, and the Cowboys came in third with 132 points.

“It’s not the way we wanted (the finals) to go, but overall it was a good effort,” said Cowboy coach Jake Huffman, whose squad sent 17 wrestlers to this year’s state tournament. “My heart hurts for these kids (who lost in the finals).”

Junior Erik Martin added a third-place finish at 103 pounds for the Cowboys, and senior Andy Katzenberger placed fourth at 130 pounds.

“Everyone wrestled hard,” Wilson said. “Overall, we’re pretty happy.”

Madras wrestler Adrian Phillips tries to control his opponent in the Class 4A 285-pound final on Saturday in Portland. Phillips lost the match and placed second.

Madras High also had a trio of second-place finishers at the 4A state tourney. Sophomore Miguel Vasquez (125 pounds), junior Travis Williams (215) and senior Adrian Phillips (285) all reached the state finals Saturday but lost in their championship matches.

“Getting three kids in the finals — the first time ever in school history — isn’t too shabby,” said White Buffalo coach Ron Oliver, whose squad finished seventh in the 4A standings. “We’ll just go back and work harder.”

In the Class 6A tournament, Redmond teammates Chance Lindquist and Ryan Haney met in the third-place match at 119 pounds. Lindquist, a sophomore, defeated Haney, a junior, 2-0.

Also for Redmond, senior Levi Brinkley added a fifth-place finish at 125 pounds, and freshman Boomer Fleming took fourth at 140 pounds.

The Panthers finished seventh in the 6A tournament. Roseburg was the team champion for the fourth time in five years.

Bend High paced Central Oregon’s Class 5A teams. The Lava Bears finished 12th. Hermiston won its fifth consecutive 5A state title on Saturday.

Kenny Dailey placed fourth at 189 pounds and Shane Buck finished fifth at 215 to lead Bend.

Burns High rolled to its 10th straight state wrestling title Saturday, capturing the Class 3A team championship with 193 points. The Hilanders were dominant in holding off all challengers. Nyssa finished a distant second with 134 points, and Dayton was third with 132.5 points.

Two Burns wrestlers were 3A weight-class champions: Landon Hanner was the winner at 215 pounds, and George Swartzlender claimed the state title at 285 pounds.

Individually, Mountain View’s Conner Wiese placed third in the 189-pound bracket.

Bend High’s Gavin Gerdes placed third at 171 pounds.

PREP ROUNDUP

Madras girls win to reach state playoffs Bulletin staff report MADRAS — Hot threepoint shooting led Madras to a 45-38 home victory over Seaside on Saturday night in a Class 4A girls basketball state play-in game.

The White Buffaloes made seven of 16 three-point attempts in the game, running their record to 17-7 for the season. Madras is expected to host a first-round state playoff game next Saturday against an opponent to be announced today by the Oregon School Activities Association.

“They packed in their zone and forced us to shoot from outside,” said Madras coach Rory Oster of Seaside’s defensive strategy in Saturday’s elimination contest. “Our girls did a good job knocking ’em down.”

Lucy Suppah made four three-pointers on eight attempts and finished with 12 points for the White Buffaloes.

Madras was led in scoring by JoElla Smith, who booked the team’s other three three-pointers and finished with a gamehigh 14 points.

Rosey Suppah added eight points for the winners, and Abby Scott scored seven points to go with her seven rebounds, four assists and four blocked shots.

But South Albany’s Kyla Miner hit two three-point baskets in the second quarter, sparking a 14-4 rally that put the Rebels up 24-17 at halftime.

Summit (13-10) was hampered by illness, and among the sick was junior guard and defensive leader Kristen Parr, who managed six points in limited minutes after not practicing with the team all week.

Champions from C.O. Saturday was a banner day for Central Oregon teams, as there were state champions in both wrestling and nordic skiing. Culver wrestling won its fifth straight state title to lead the Central Oregon contingent in Portland. Meanwhile, there were a pair of state championship meets in nordic skiing. Summit’s boys and Redmond’s girls won the OHSNO state meet at Mount Bachelor, while Mountain View’s boys and girls both won team titles at the OISRA state meet at Mount Shasta, Calif.

The Mountain View nordic team won the OISRA combined championship on Saturday.

Nordic Continued from D1 Summit finished second, and Bend High was third.

“They’ve always been the top dog, and we’ve always been one step behind them,” MacKenzie said of the skiers from Bend’s Summit High. “So it means a lot.”

MacKenzie won the 5-kilometer classic race on Saturday, beating runner-up Vivian Hawkinson of South Salem by 16 seconds. She also led the Panthers to victory in the 3x1K relay. Bend finished second, Crescent Valley was third and Summit fourth in the girls relay.

A senior headed to George Fox University to compete in track and cross-country running, MacKenzie said she was more thrilled with the team championships than with her individual titles.

“That’s something we’ve been working on for the entire last year — and we did it today,” she said.

Ken Roadman, a Redmond coach along with Smullin, laughed when asked if he was excited about his team beating Summit.

He admitted, though, that he was.

“But it isn’t an upset,” Roadman said. “We’ve been working toward this. We’ve been doing a lot of long skis, and they’ve been working on technique. Even our young freshmen have made huge strides.”

MacKenzie won the combined by winning both Friday’s skate race and Saturday’s classic race.

Hawkinson was second, and Ine Marie Raa of Redmond finished third in the combined results.

Summit continued its dominance on the boys side, winning a team state title behind the strong skiing of senior Reitler Hodgert, who won Saturday’s 5K classic to claim the combined title.

Redmond finished second in the team standings, and Bend was third.

Hodgert finished third in the state meet as a freshman, but he did not compete in high school skiing in his sophomore and junior years, as he was focusing on skiing on a national level.

“Since it was my senior year, I decided I would come back,” Hodgert said. “It’s a really strong (team) … it’s awesome. We’re all

really close, we have a lot of fun.”

Teammate Ryan St. Clair finished second behind Hodgert in the classic race, 30 seconds back, and in the combined competition.

Both skiers helped lead the Storm to victory in Saturday’s 3x1K relay.

Redmond finished second, and Bend was third in the boys relay.

“We could have never asked for a better team leader — ever,” St. Clair said of Hodgert. “We’ve had great skiers. But when Reitler came to Summit, he really pulled us together. We knew he could be state champion, but we didn’t know he would be such a good leader.”

Summit also claimed the boys and girls team combined competition.

“We have a deep, fun boys team,” said Summit coach Gregg Strome. “We’re looking forward to next year, because we only graduate one of the kids. So we’ll have a really good team next year as well.”

Bend Continued from D1 Crook’s first-half outburst helped Bend build a 53-33 halftime lead that the Rebels were never able to whittle down.

“We jumped them early,” said

Bend assistant coach Chris Scott.

“That first half we were shooting pretty well.”

South Albany guard Drew Henderson scored 24 points to lead the Rebels. But South Albany’s uptempo style played into the Lava Bears’ hands, Scott said.

Bend senior Seth Platsman hit

three three-pointers, too, as Bend had nine three-point goals in all, helping to keep the Rebels at bay.

“We were able to do whatever we wanted offensively,” Scott said. “We didn’t really force a lot of shots. ... It felt good to get past (the game). It was a long week of practice.”

State must set budget priorities

=

W

e can all hope that the story on Page A1 of Thursday’s Bulletin was simply an opening stanza in a dance to the music of bargaining. It had all the rhythm, notes and beat of just that, but if it wasn’t, the state is in deeper trouble than anyone could have imagined.

The story was headlined, “Governor, workers far apart on union contract.” It reported on the opening bargaining positions of Gov. John Kitzhaber and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, which represents some public employees.

With the state facing a $3.5 billion shortfall in its general fund, and with 75 percent of general fund dollars going to personnel costs, there is understandable pressure to seek concessions in pay and benefits from state workers.

As you can imagine, that doesn’t sit well with public workers in Oregon or, for that matter, in any state facing similar circumstances. In effect, Kitzhaber asked the union to accept sizable cuts while the union, in response, asked for more money and better benefits.

A good assumption is that this is simply opening proposal time, and that Kitzhaber doesn’t want a war with the very people whose union dues fueled his election campaign.

Another good assumption is that the union is neither as delusional nor breathtakingly selfish as some of its comments suggest.

But can either of those assumptions be assumed?

State Sen. Chris Telfer, R-Bend, is not sure, but thinks there are some green sprigs in this garden of despair.

“At the 50,000-foot level,” she said, there seems to be “a little more willingness” to recognize that pay and benefits of state workers have to be included in any plan to balance the budget.

“There is more,” she added, recognition of “the reality” of what we face.

But there is, Telfer believes, a difference between the views of the rankand-file union members and the union leaders. And the union leadership is the main obstacle.

The rank-and-file members, she said, have a job with pay and benefits and can see their neighbors struggling to hold their lives together.

The leadership, she said, argues that its role is to protect jobs, but absent concessions, the alternative is layoffs. Jobs will be lost. There really isn’t another way.

Telfer’s fear is that state leaders are still not prepared for essential reform, to ask the question, “What’s the proper size of (Oregon’s) government?”

We should be asking, she said, “What should the state really be doing?”

During his election campaign, Kitzhaber spoke to The Bulletin’s editorial board and was asked this question: Shouldn’t the state look forward, project the tax revenues it will receive, set priorities and build a budget based on those revenues? His answer was “yes.”

So, is that what Telfer thinks we are doing? With his initiatives in education funding and children’s services, she thinks Kitzhaber believes that is what he’s doing. But she’s not so sure.

There is another billion-plus dollars in revenue coming into the state in this biennium compared with the last one.

But to do all we are doing today without essential changes, the revenue would have to grow by nearly $5 billion.

It’s not that Oregon won’t spend more.

It simply can’t keep up with structural costs built into the system. We simply can’t afford ourselves.

Maybe something will change, and there are potentially productive discussions occurring, she said.

But her fear is that in the end, the Legislature will fall back on old ways, not ask the essential long-term questions about the proper role and size of government and will in the end simply jam through a series of uncoordinated cuts to simply get by for now.

Let’s hope, as she does, she’s wrong.

Under Obama, federal agencies raise VALUE of a LIFE Thinkstock images

By Binyamin Appelbaum New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON —

A

s the players here remake the nation’s vast regulatory system, they have been grappling with a subject that is more the province of poets and philosophers

than bureaucrats: What is the value of a human life?

The answer determines how much spending the government should require to prevent a single death.

To protests from business and praise from unions, environmentalists and consumer groups, one agency after another has ratcheted up the price of life, justifying tougher — and more costly — standards.

The Environmental Protection Agency set the value of a life at $9.1 million last year in proposing tighter restrictions on air pollution. The agency used numbers as low as $6.8 million during the George W. Bush administration.

The Food and Drug Administration declared that life was worth $7.9 million last year, up from $5 million in 2008, in proposing warning labels on cigarette packages featuring images of cancer victims.

The Transportation Department has used values of around $6 million to justify several recent decisions to impose regulations that the Bush administration had rejected as too expensive, like requiring stronger roofs on cars.

And the numbers may keep climbing. In December, the EPA said it might set the value of preventing can-

cer deaths 50 percent higher than other deaths, because cancer kills slowly.

A report last year financed by the Department of Homeland Security suggested that the value of preventing deaths from terrorism might be 100 percent higher than other deaths.

The trend is a sensitive subject for an administration that is trying to improve its relationship with the business community, much of which has bitterly opposed the expansion of regulation. The White House said the decisions on the value of life were made by the agencies. The agencies, for their part, referred any questions to the White House.

“This administration utilizes the best available science in assessing the benefits and costs of any potential regulation, drawing on widely accepted methodologies that have been in use for years,” Meg Reilly, a spokeswoman for the Office of Management and Budget, which oversees the rule-making process, said in an e-mail.

Several independent experts, how-

ever, said that the increases were long overdue, noting that some agencies had been using the same values for more than a decade without adjusting for inflation. One office at the EPA cut the value of life in 2004.

“Agencies have been using numbers that I thought were just too low,” said W. Kip Viscusi, a professor of economics at Vanderbilt University whose research is cited by most of the federal agencies as the basis for their calculations.

Businesses would prefer to discuss the consequences of the increases — new regulations and higher costs, which they say are hampering economic growth — rather than suggest that the government has overstated the value of life.

But some industry representatives said assigning a value to life was inherently subjective, and that the recent changes were driven by the administration’s pursuit of its regulatory agenda rather than scientific considerations.

End funding for party precinct committee votes

D

emocrats and Republicans are bewailing how House Bill 2492 would wound Oregon’s democratic process.

Under the bill, these private groups would lose their spe-

cial status that requires county governments to pick up the tab for the election of precinct committee persons.

Precinct committee persons are the grass roots of either party. They vote in party meetings, recruit volunteers and solicit donations. They do what needs to be done on a local level to aid their party and elect its candidates.

Why, though, should county governments have to pay for their election?

It’s not a lot of money compared with some things government pays for. The total cost for all these elections in Oregon is just over $200,000 a year.

In Deschutes County, it cost the county $18,000 to run the election last year. You may remember getting a separate ballot for it as part of the May primary.

Few people even bothered to vote in that part of the Deschutes election.

Of the 30,800 ballots sent out to Democrats, for instance, only 20 percent of the people returned the precinct committee person ballot, and only 9.5 percent even voted.

And few people even bothered to run. Statewide, there were 712 positions. Only 137 people filed to run.

The situation is similar in other Central Oregon counties and across the state.

So let’s review: Private groups want all Oregon taxpayers to pay for an election for their internal workers, that Oregonians aren’t much interested in and the parties themselves have trouble getting people to run in.

Halting funding for these elections is not going to take people out of the election process. It’s going to take taxpayer money out of the election of people for a private group.

HB 2492 lets the Democratic and Republican parties select their committee persons as they wish, at their cost. If they really want to be on the ballot, let them pay for it.

When county governments are struggling to find ways to pay for services, they can do without paying for private elections.

EPA decision helps air and forests I

t’s nice to know that the $4 million in federal stimulus funds sent to John Day for a wood pellet and brick plant won’t go to waste. The federal Environmental Protection Agency said Monday it plans to treat emissions from small boilers burning biomass products differently than emissions from larger systems and those burning other fuels.

The news that such small-plant emissions will get a bye from the strictest of the EPA’s clean air rules surely is being greeted with cheers in Grant County. There, Malheur Lumber Co. operates a plant to create wood pellets and wood bricks from biomass.

The products will be burned in just such small boilers as those covered by the proposed rule. Meanwhile, the plant itself generates heat from one of the new, super-clean boilers. Others already are in place at the hospital in John Day. While larger biomass energy systems still would have to meet some clean air rules, even they will face a

less expensive challenge than first proposed. Because the proposed rules recognize there’s a distinction between the emissions from a coalfired plant and a biomass-fired one, the controls the latter must put in place have been reduced enough to cut compliance costs in half, according to a letter from EPA’s administrator to Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who has pushed hard for the change.

Grant County clearly wins, but the rest of Oregon does, as well. If small boiler units can be operated on waste wood from badly overgrown forests, there’s a greater incentive to clean up those forests. Healthier forests are less likely to be subjected to the catastrophic fires that have become all too familiar.

Only one major hurdle remains before the rules become reality. Because they are substantially different from those originally proposed, EPA will seek comments on them. Barring anything unexpected, the rules will become the law of the land.

Revenge of the Pomeranians R

ight now concerned citizens are probably asking themselves: What will happen if the federal government shuts down?

Also, why is the federal government in danger of shutting down? Whom can I blame for this? Does it have anything to do with what’s going on in Wisconsin? Did Congress pass a budget last year at all? Why not? And does this relate in any way to the report that Christine O’Donnell, the former U.S. Senate candidate from Delaware, may be joining the next cast of “Dancing With the Stars?”

Wow, you are really asking yourselves a lot of questions, concerned citizens. Calm down.

Right now, all around the country, federal agencies are making plans for an orderly way to shut down nonessential services if Congress fails to do anything to keep the boat afloat next week.

The air traffic controllers will stay on the job, but I would not plan any visits to a national park if I were you.

Hundreds of thousands of nonessential federal employees will be furloughed, stuck at home without a paycheck and contemplating their nonessentialness. The economy will tank.

Nobody is going to be happy.

Except perhaps some of the House members, who prowl the corridors yowling about deficits like accountants on crack. They think they were elected to shut down the government, so the idea of closing nonessential services must sound like a day at the beach.

All hope for averting disaster lies with Speaker John Boehner, who used to be a strangely tanned blowhard but is now regarded as a beleaguered statesman.

This just happened a few days ago, so you may not have gotten the memo.

Unfortunately, so far, Speaker Boehner has not been all that helpful. There is very little in Washington that can’t

GAIL COLLINS be explained by an episode of the original “Star Trek,” and Boehner is playing out the one where the Romulan captain prefers the ways of peace but is saddled with a crew that will mutiny if he fails to follow through on the plan to blow up the galaxy.

Our current problem began last year, when Congress never got around to passing any appropriations bills. It’s not all that unusual for our elected officials to fail to complete their budgetary duties, but this was the first time they didn’t accomplish anything. Really, you’d think they would have issued a stamp to commemorate the achievement.

To keep the government going, the House and Senate passed resolutions ordering the agencies to keep doing whatever they’d been doing before. The latest resolution expires next week, and the new, transformed House wants to tell the agencies to do less. Last week, it passed a bill calling for a vast degree of lessness.

This happened without a whole lot of preplanning. Although the Republicans are obsessed with stopping illegal immigration, they cut billions of dollars out of border security and immigration enforcement. “Even with all the money in the world, the administration would not succeed in securing the border because they are not serious about it,” theorized Lamar Smith, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

President Barack Obama, who has actually done quite a lot about border

security, says he would veto the House version, which would wreak havoc with everything from veterans’ health care to Head Start. So the clock is ticking. To make things even more dramatic, the Senate’s metabolism is unchanged, and everyone has gone home to enjoy a much-needed vacation after two exhausting months during which the senators passed a bill on the Federal Aviation Administration and congratulated Barbara Mikulski on being the longest-serving female senator.

One thing that never changes in Washington is the difference in metabolism between the House and Senate.

Have you ever watched pet-rehabilitation shows like “The Dog Whisperer”?

The House is the deranged Pomeranian that yelps and throws itself against the window and tears up the upholstery 24/7. The Senate, meanwhile, is like a narcoleptic Great Dane you can hardly rouse for dinner.

The senators are scheduled to get back into the swing of things Monday with a reading of George Washington’s farewell address. Then the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, has until Friday to come up with a plan. It’s quite a challenge. No doubt it was much on his mind when he made a big speech to the Nevada state Legislature this week and surprised everyone by demanding that the state have an “adult conversation” about its legal brothels. It did not appear to be the problem the politicians were expecting to tackle next.

Still, you can understand his eagerness to talk about something nonbudgetary. I can’t wait to move on to that question about Christine O’Donnell and “Dancing With the Stars,” which I am pretty sure will not require an argument about entitlements.

Republicans cross the Rubicon: a river in Wisconsin WASHINGTON — he magnificent turmoil now gripping statehouses in Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana and soon others marks an epic political moment. The nation faces a fiscal crisis of historic proportions and, remarkably, our muddled, gridlocked, allegedly broken politics have yielded singular clarity.

At the federal level, President Obama’s budget makes clear that Democrats are determined to do nothing about the debt crisis, while House Republicans have announced that beyond their proposed cuts in discretionary spending, their April budget will actually propose real entitlement reform. Simultaneously, in Wisconsin and other states, Republican governors are taking on unsustainable, fiscally ruinous pension and health care obligations, while Democrats are fullthroated in support of the public-employee unions crying, “Hell no.”

A choice, not an echo: Democrats desperately defending the status quo; Republicans charging the barricades.

Wisconsin is the epicenter. It began with economic issues. When Gov. Scott Walker proposed that state

T

workers contribute more to their pension and health care benefits, he started a revolution. Teachers called in sick. Schools closed. Demonstrators massed at the Capitol. Democratic senators fled the state to paralyze the Legislature.

Unfortunately for them, that telegenic faux-Cairo scene drew national attention to the dispute — and to the sweetheart deals the public-sector unions had negotiated for themselves for years. They were contributing a fifth of a penny on a dollar of wages to their pensions and one-fourth what private-sector workers pay for health insurance.

The unions quickly understood that the more than 85 percent of Wisconsin not part of this privileged specialinterest group would not take kindly to “public servants” resisting adjustments that still leave them paying less for benefits than private-sector workers. They immediately capitulated and claimed they were only protesting the other part of the bill, the part about collective bargaining rights.

Indeed. Walker understands that a one-time giveback means little. The

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER state’s financial straits — a $3.6 billion budget shortfall over the next two years — did not come out of nowhere.

They came largely from a half-century power imbalance between the unions and the politicians with whom they collectively bargain.

In the private sector, the capitalist knows that when he negotiates with the union, if he gives away the store, he loses his shirt. In the public sector, the politicians who approve any deal have none of their own money at stake. On the contrary, the more favorably they dispose of union demands, the more likely they are to be the beneficiary of union largesse in the next election. It’s the perfect cozy setup.

To redress these perverse incentives that benefit both negotiating parties at the expense of the taxpayer, Walker’s

bill would restrict future governmentunion negotiations to wages only. Excluded from negotiations would be benefits, the more easily hidden sweeteners that come due long after the politicians who negotiated them are gone.

The bill would also require that unions be recertified every year and that dues be voluntary.

Recognizing this threat to union power, the Democratic Party is pouring money and fury into the fight. Private unions have shrunk to less than 7 percent of the working population.

The Democrats’ strength lies in government workers who now constitute a majority of union members and provide massive support to the party. For them, Wisconsin represents a dangerous contagion.

Hence the import of the current moment — its blinding clarity. Here stand the Democrats, avatars of reactionary liberalism, desperately trying to hang on to the gains of their glory years — from unsustainable federal entitlements for the elderly enacted when life expectancy was 62 to the massive promissory notes issued to government unions when state coffers were full and

no one was looking.

Obama’s Democrats have become the party of no. Real cuts to the federal budget? No. Entitlement reform? No. Tax reform? No. Breaking the corrupt and fiscally unsustainable symbiosis between public-sector unions and state governments? Hell no.

We have heard everyone — from Obama’s own debt commission to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — call the looming debt a mortal threat to the nation. We have watched Greece self-immolate. We can see the future. The only question has been: When will the country finally rouse itself?

Amazingly, the answer is: now. Led by famously progressive Wisconsin — Scott Walker at the state level and Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan at the congressional level — a new generation of Republicans has looked at the debt and is crossing the Rubicon.

Recklessly principled, they are putting the question to the nation: Are we a serious people?

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, February 27, 2011 F3

O After Obama’s tenure, the deluge P

resident Obama established a bipartisan debt-reduction commission — and then ignored its findings, which called for unpopular reductions in entitlements and acrossthe-board spending cuts. His first two budgets led to the largest deficits in U.S. history. The ensuing $3 trillion dollars in red ink prompted the tea party movement and led to the largest midterm defeat of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives since 1938.

No matter. The president has proposed a new budget with an even larger, $1.6 trillion deficit. That record federal borrowing prompted columnist Charles Krauthammer to describe it as Louis XV indulgence, an allusion to the wild royal spending that brought about the French Revolution. Even Newsweek editor at large Evan Thomas, who once gushed that Obama stood “above the world” as some “sort of God,” called the president’s new budget a “profile in cowardice.” After Obama leaves office, a perfect storm of rising international interest rates, an anemic dollar and panic on the part of foreign lenders may force an end to this unhinged American rush to borrow and blow what it has not earned.

Gas prices in many parts of the country are nearing $4 a gallon; it could get even worse as unrest spreads through-

V IC T OR DAVIS HANSON out the oil-exporting Middle East. Yet the Obama administration once again seems to see no crisis. It has curtailed new leases for offshore oil exploration for seven years and exempted thousands of acres in the West from new drilling. It will not reconsider opening up small areas of Alaska with known large oil reserves.

Instead, the administration in 2009 pushed through cap-and-trade legislation in the House on the dubious proposition that, in times of unusually cold American winters, the planet is warming up. Accordingly, the administration would like to tax further the already high price of fossil fuels rather than go all out to look for more. Yet importing more oil from abroad and growing more subsidized biofuels at home will lead to a disastrous trifecta of borrowing even more money, ensuring greater global pollution and causing higher world food prices.

Obamacare — the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — was pushed through the Senate in 2009

through backroom deal-making and special perks for fence-sitting senators.

The premise was that it would save both patients and the nation billions of dollars. But updated estimates now suggest that the takeover of health care will cost the country about $2 trillion over the next decade while disrupting and making more costly existing health plans.

That worry may explain why the administration has quietly granted waivers from its own “affordable” plan to some 700 organizations covering 2 million workers — 40 percent of them union members. Long after the president has left office, everyone else who is not so privileged to be exempted will have to live with the consequence of a cumbersome and costly new federal health bureau.

The president just weighed in on the Wisconsin budget deadlock, suggesting that Gov. Scott Walker was out to punish public-sector unions more than to figure out a way to close a $3 billion state deficit. But unlike the federal government, Walker cannot print money, and he cannot so easily raise taxes without losing residents who might flee to lower-tax states. That the president wants unions to know he is on their side is clear; that he cares how the people of Wisconsin are going to pay for skyhigh public-employee wages, benefits

and health care is not so evident.

In these lean times of nearly 10 percent unemployment and rapid hikes in gas and food prices, the president has chastised “fat cat” Wall Street bankers, the wealthy who jet to the Super Bowl, those who junket to Las Vegas, and in general suggested that strapped American families might wish to “sacrifice” and “put off a vacation.” But in “let them eat cake” style, the first family seems tone-deaf to the potential symbolism of postponing its own exclusive vacations.

Michele Obama just returned from skiing at an elite Vail, Colo., resort. Last summer in Marie Antoinette fashion, she jetted to Costa del Sol in Spain for a costly Mediterranean vacation. The rich playground at Martha’s Vineyard, not Camp David, seems now to be the favorite presidential recession-era getaway spot.

Shortly after Barack Obama leaves office, we are all going to have to eat cake. Then a less eloquent president will have to balance budgets, pay off trillions in new debt, develop more energy, come up with a sane health-care policy, and in symbolic fashion have the first family share the sacrifice of a more mundane lifestyle.

Special to The Washington Post

I

n 2001, I was an Air Force lieutenant colonel and A-10 fighter pilot stationed in Saudi Arabia, in charge of rescue operations for no-fly enforcement in Iraq and then in Afghanistan. Every time I went off base, I had to follow orders and put on a black Muslim abaya and head scarf. Military officials said this would show “cultural sensitivity” toward conservative Saudi leaders and guarantee “force protection” — this in a nation where women couldn’t drive, vote or dress as they pleased.

To me, the abaya directive, with its different rules for male and female troops and the requirement that I don the garb of a faith not my own, violated the American values of individual freedom and equality I had raised my right hand and pledged I would die for.

I already had tried for years to get the policy changed. In 2002, I sued then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over the policy. Congress stepped in and approved legislation that prohibited anyone in the military from requiring or encouraging servicewomen to put on abayas in Saudi Arabia or to use taxpayers’ money to buy them.

I remember a discussion with congressmen and staffers about whether the legislation should be broadened to cover military personnel serving in any country. We naively decided that Saudi Arabia posed the worst-case scenario; the military would get Congress’ intent and would not require servicewomen to wear Muslim attire in any mission elsewhere.

Sadly, we were mistaken. Nearly a decade later, some female soldiers serving in Afghanistan are being encouraged to wear head scarves. Some have taken off the regulation helmet and worn just the scarf, even when on patrol outside, in their combat uniforms and body armor, M-4s slung over their shoulders.

The more common practice is to wear the scarf under one’s helmet or around the neck, pulling it on as the servicewoman removes her Kevlar helmet upon entering a village or building.

“Within Afghanistan, the donning of a scarf or other type of head covering by our female service members can be done as a sign of respect to the local culture and people they must necessarily interact with,” a senior U.S. military official told me via e-mail. “This can help promote greater trust and a fuller interaction with the local population as well as increased access to persons and places that contribute to mission accomplishment.”

Unlike in Saudi Arabia, this attire is considered optional and at the discretion of “leaders on the ground,” said the official.

However, when a superior tells a military subordinate any practice is optional, the very mention of the practice creates pressure to comply. This is especially true in combat settings, when subordinates must trust their commander’s direction to maximize mission effectiveness and protect lives.

Most of the U.S. servicewomen wearing head scarves are assigned to Female Engagement Teams, charged to reach out to local Afghan women and win their hearts and minds as part of the new counterinsurgency strategy. Wearing the hijab is thought to facilitate this access, since all Afghan women are expected to wear a head scarf when in public.

In the regions where the female teams are working, most local women still wear burqas, the head-to-toe gown that has a net over the eyes. So our female soldiers hardly blend in, with their weapons, boots and camouflage, and that bright scarf over their hair.

One officer told me she refuses to wear the scarf but is unwilling to speak out publicly against it. Yet many female

troops defend the practice.

“It’s part of the effort to show we’re sensitive to the local culture,” Marine Capt. Jennifer Gregoire told the Associated Press in 2009. “If you show your hair, it’s kind of like seeing a nude picture here, because women are very covered up.”

Marine Col. Sheila Scanlon, an adviser to the Afghan Interior Ministry on gender issues, explained it this way to U.S. military bloggers last year: “All of us try not to insult the Afghans and to try to abide by their rules.”

I applaud these warriors’ desire to do whatever it takes to win this war. But wearing the scarf when in U.S. military uniform is appeasement, not respect.

Our troops should not conform to customs that represent the marginalization of people and are incongruent with our fundamental values. Would our military leaders have dared encourage AfricanAmerican troops to submit to local customs if they had been ordered to deploy to South Africa under apartheid?

olitical fanaticism fosters moral relativism. That’s the lesson we should all learn from the gruesome case of Shawna Forde, the Arizona anti-immigrant vigilante who was convicted last week of two counts of first-degree murder.

Prosecutors argued that Forde and two accomplices killed 29-year-old Raul Junior Flores and his 9-year-old daughter, Brisenia, in a botched robbery attempt meant to raise money to fund a splinter group of the anti-immigrant Minuteman movement.

Posing as Border Patrol and law enforcement officers, Forde and friends showed up at Flores’ home after midnight and invaded it, with tragic consequences. Prosecutors pointed to testimony that Forde had bragged about her plans to steal the money to finance her vigilantism just weeks before the assault. Evidently, Forde’s political fixation overrode any belief in the injunction that “thou shalt not kill.”

It’d be easy to dismiss the Forde case as a crazy one-off incident. And let’s hope it isn’t repeated. But her willingness to discard the most basic of moral standards for the sake of a political

obsession is something we’re all too familiar with in the 21st century.

The South Dakota Legislature’s House Judiciary Committee approved a bill that would have expanded the definition of justifiable homicide to include killing someone in the defense of an unborn child. The bill was shelved last week by cooler heads who feared it could provide legal cover for the killing of abortion providers.

During George W. Bush’s administration, the issue of the use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” had the U.S. government employing one well-established evil in an attempt to combat another. The primacy of the battle against terrorism allowed government lawyers to parse words and find loopholes in long-held legal standards protecting prisoners of war.

Of course, conservatives are not the only ones capable of ignoring one set of morals in the single-minded pursuit of another. I know scores of lefty believers in freedom who have condoned dictators — think Fidel Castro or, for an earlier generation, Josef Stalin — because they believe their ideological ends justify their repressive means.

Dostoevsky had this nailed in “Crime and Punishment”: His protagonist, Ras-

kolnikov, justified the murder of his landlady, reasoning that his life was worth more than hers — that his grand mission to serve “humanity and the good of all” justified a heinous act.

What may be most interesting about all these Raskolnikovs is the way they betray their beliefs — in lawfulness, in the sanctity of life, in liberty — at the same time they think they are pursuing them.

The great irony is that many observers believe that the global rise in political and religious fanaticism is a reaction against the freedom, choices and moral relativism of modernity.

“Under modern conditions,” sociologist Peter Berger has noted, “almost everyone lives in communities in which diversity has taken the place of consensus.” Some people react poorly to this “certainty scarcity.” They adopt fervent convictions — fundamentalism, if you will — as a coping mechanism.

But as the Shawna Forde story suggests, the illusion of absolute certainty can itself breed moral relativism, in which right and wrong are situational and do not apply to all people equally, especially the true believer.

as to argue that our moral beliefs and our behavior aren’t really connected.

He suggests that our sense of right and wrong is mostly based on emotional intuition, on how an action makes us feel. If it makes us “feel bad” to kick a dog, we’re likely to think it’s the wrong thing to do.

Such a disconnect between articulated moral stances and fundamental moral intuition helps explain how the former can ride roughshod over the latter. In Haidt’s words, people “reason their way to a judgment by sheer force of logic, overriding their initial intuition.”

What seems to happen to a Shawna Forde or an antiabortion legislator in South Dakota or a Castro-at-all-costs sympathizer is that the convictions they brew up in their heads give them permission to ignore the sense of right and wrong that comes from their hearts.

If nothing else, the Forde case suggests that the embrace of absolutes is proving to be at least as morally dangerous as relativism. Utter certainty about one issue is a poor substitute for simply doing the right thing.

in the military uniform, and the Army has a 362-page directive on proper uniform wear. Included are guidelines that accommodate freedom of religion by outlining what religious attire or jewelry can be worn with the uniform. Anything that interferes with the wear or function of the military hat or protective gear, including the Kevlar helmet, is forbidden.

Under these rules, a Muslim soldier stationed in the United States who wanted to wear a heads carf with her uniform would not be permitted to do so.

The Muslim head scarf, a religious custom that aims to deflect sexual attention from nonrelated males, is certainly a point of much controversy. It is currently outlawed by France and Turkey in public institutions. Scholars disagree whether it is even mandated by the Koran..

American servicewomen will continue to be viewed as second-class warriors if leaders push them to take up the customs of countries where women are second-class citizens. Top military leaders should issue guidance that U.S. servicewomen are not authorized to wear a Muslim headscarf while in their uniform conducting military duties. If they don’t, Congress should intervene again, as they did on the abaya, and prohibit its wear.

Our troops are risking their lives every day in Afghanistan while proudly representing and defending the United States. They are there to disrupt and defeat al-Qaida while assisting Afghans in securing their future from oppression.

With our Afghan partners, trust can be built on a foundation of mutual respect, where no one is expected to submit to others’ cultural and religious guidelines.

Fundamental moral errors may breed fanaticism

By Gregory Rodriguez

By Kevin Horrigan y now, anyone who might have been remotely interested already knows that an IBM computer named “Watson” annihilated two human challengers during a three-day man vs. machine showdown last week on “Jeopardy.”

Inasmuch as the median age of a “Jeopardy” viewer is 65, I realize that by acknowledging that I followed this showdown raptly, going so far as to record it, I run the risk of being categorized as (a) a geezer; (b) a nerd; or (c) a nerd-geezer.

I further acknowledge that by writing about this topic, I run the risk of exposing myself as a guy who cares way too much about trivia and who knows way too little about computer science.

Nevertheless, duty calls. I’m here today to tell you that “Jeopardy: The IBM Challenge” was frightening stuff. These people want our jobs.

Watson (named after Thomas J. Watson, the man who turned the Computing Tabulating Recording Corp. into Big Blue) consists of 90 IBM Power 750 servers stacked in 10 racks, each rack the size of a refrigerator. Watson has 16 terabytes of memory, which is to say 16 trillion bytes, enabling it to swallow the entire contents of the Encyclopedia Britannica, Wikipedia and the Internet Movie Database along with most of The New York Times archives with plenty of room left over.

Apparently, that’s just not a big deal.

You stack enough computers, you get capacity, and all that stuff is available on the Internet, anyway. Watson doesn’t have an Internet connection, so the trick was teaching Watson how to access, interpret and extrapolate that information within a split second and in response to natural language clues that often contain puns, word play and oblique references.

“Just understanding the question is a pretty good deal,” Luis Von Ahn, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University, told the PBS show “Nova.” (Yes, I’m such a geezer-nerd that I watched “Nova” about “Jeopardy.” So sue me.)

Von Ahn went on to say, in vaguely Rumsfeldian terms, “There’s just so much we know that we don’t know we know.”

Thus we enter the no-longer-sciencefiction realm of artificial intelligence, where computers don’t just crunch facts, but they also know the things we don’t know we know and actually begin to think.

Watson’s developers began working on this project in 2006. Eventually, the programmers loaded it with 6 million rules that comprise an estimated 3 percent of what human beings generally call “common sense.”

They loaded it with tens of thousands of previous “Jeopardy” clues and answers so that Watson could learn how “Jeopardy’s” patterns worked. This became necessary after early tests revealed some unfortunate gaps.

At one point, in a category that required Watson and his stand-in competitors to name the months in which certain holidays and occurrences take place, he came up blank on the first two answers. But after the human competitors answered them correctly, Watson figured out that “Jeopardy” wanted the names of months. He then ran the rest of the category.

The machine was learning as it went along. This was very scary.

IBM won’t say what it has spent on the Watson project, but estimates run as high as $2 billion. The company didn’t do it just for the publicity, substantial though it has been.

The New York Times reports that “IBM’s executives have said they intend to commercialize Watson to provide a new class of question-answering systems in business, education and medicine. The repercussions of such technology are unknown, but it is possible, for example, to envision systems that replace not only human experts, but hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs throughout the economy and around the globe. Virtually any job that now involves answering questions and conducting commercial transactions by telephone will soon be at risk. It is only necessary to consider how quickly ATMs displaced human bank tellers to have an idea of what could happen.”

I’m pretty upset about this. I honestly think I ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.

If you can’t identify that reference, be worried. Watson could.

Should our uniform adapt to their culture?

Contemporary history is seldom as relevant and engaging as Douglas Waller’s new biography, “Wild Bill Donovan: The Spymaster Who Created the OSS and Modern American Espionage,” which is — by turns — fascinatingly instructive and thoroughly entertaining.

Waller, a former Time correspondent and the author of an excellent biography of Gen. Billy Mitchell, has a great ally in his subject, who was a larger-thanlife personality in an American Century favored with more than its share of outsized figures.

William J. “Wild Bill” Donovan was born in Buffalo, N.Y., to Irish immigrant parents who’d managed to scramble up the ladder from “shanty” to the lower rungs of “lace curtain” status. A fine athlete, though an indifferent student, Donovan nonetheless graduated from Columbia Law School, where one of his classmates was an aristocratic young man with an eminent name — Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Back in Buffalo, the young lawyer married the daughter of a wealthy, socially prominent Protestant family, and, though his new in-laws were wary of the brash young man from a tough Irish ward, he soon became their legal and financial adviser.

The Great War World War I was the making of Donovan in several ways. He served in New York’s storied, mostly Irish “Fighting 69th” Reg-

iment. Its legendary chaplain, Father Francis Duffy, became his closest friend, and the doomed young poet Joyce Kilmer was his adjutant. His men — more than half of whom would die in the fighting — admiringly dubbed him “Wild Bill” for his courage under fire, a nom de guerre that one of his commanders, Douglas M a c A r t h u r, echoed, though as a less-thancomplimentary reference to his tendency to exceed orders.

Donovan would emerge from the Great War with the Medal of Honor and France’s Croix de Guerre, though he refused to accept the latter until the French also bestowed it on the Jewish sergeant who had been at his side in the particular engagement for which they were honored. Back in New York, where he finally received his Medal of Honor, he immediately unsnapped the decoration and presented it to his regiment.

“It doesn’t belong to me,” he said.

“It belongs to the boys who are not here, the boys who are resting under the white crosses in France or in the cemeteries of New York.” He left the medal in the 69th’s Manhattan armory and never retrieved it.

After the war, Donovan returned to Buffalo with a new, international perspective, determined to make his law firm a competitor with the big New York City firms and to give it a

presence in European business affairs. It was a formula that made him rich. In an era when the majority of Irish Americans were baptized Catholics but born Democrats, Donovan was a conservative Republican who dabbled in GOP politics as a pugnacious but singularly unsuccessful candidate who was intensely critical of Roosevelt and the New Deal. He was, however, one of those instinctive social conservatives, like Winston Churchill, who saw the danger of Adolf Hitler early on; by 1933, Donovan was actively protesting the Nazis’ anti-Semitism.

Despite his Republican affiliation, Roosevelt asked Donovan to go to London to assess whether U.S. Ambassador Joseph Kennedy was correct in his defeatist appraisal that Britain had neither the will nor the capacity to resist a resurgent Germany.

Donovan met with Churchill, toured Europe and came back to tell the president that Britain would fight and that Hitler was every bit as dangerous as the president was inclined to believe.

When war arrived, Donovan became a fervent supporter of aid to London and an opponent of U.S. isolationism. Encouraged

by Churchill and the British espionage operative William Stephenson, he also became convinced that America required a

professional intelligence agency like Britain’s MI6, staffed with “men calculatingly reckless with disciplined daring.” Donovan proposed such a group to Roosevelt, and, in 1941, the president named the New York lawyer “coordinator of information.”

WWII heroics of OSS Thus was the legendary Office of Strategic Services, or OSS, born: Its agents — both men and women — generally lived up to Donovan’s description throughout the war. Much of Waller’s narrative is given over to those years, and rightly so, since they were replete with heroism of all sorts. There were stunningly daring, meticulously prepared operations as well as many — like the plan to drop bats with bombs strapped to their bodies over Germany — that simply were harebrained. Others were problematic, like a generalized collapse of OSS operations in Italy that were saved and put on a productive footing by Donovan, who repeatedly and recklessly exposed himself to enemy fire.

His administrative overreaching and lack of even normally protective political instincts earned Donovan the distrust of many, as well as the undying enmity of J. Edgar Hoover. When the former spy chief died, in 1959, from complications of senile dementia, the FBI director spread a rumor that the real cause of death was syphilis.

One of the admirable attributes of Waller’s well-written history is its realism regarding the OSS war effort. Along with British intelligence, the office made a significant contribution to equipping and mustering the French Resistance in support of the Normandy invasion. In prac-

‘Doc’ Ford goes to bat for illegal immigrants in Florida “Night Vision”

by Randy Wayne White (Putnam, 352 pgs., $25.95)

By Oline H. Cogdill Sun Sentinel

Florida author Randy Wayne White’s strongest novels illustrate the double life that Marion “Doc” Ford’s tries to reconcile every day. For most of the residents at Dinkin’s Bay Marina near Sanibel Island, Doc is the mild-mannered marine biologist devoted to his work, his friends and his carefree life.

For others, Doc is a former government operative with lethal skills, reluctant but able to go on secret rescue missions for his country.

In “Night Vision,” White draws on his strength at putting Doc and his hippie friend, Tomlinson, into tense situations that require his skill at dealing with danger.

But “Night Vision” falls short when White allows his 18th Doc Ford outing to become a treatise on the treatment of illegal immigrants.

It’s not his country that needs Doc this time, but a trailer park of illegal immigrants from Guatemala and especially Tula Choimha, a 13-year-old girl whom many believe is a saint who speaks with God. Tula has come to Florida by herself to find her mother and brother who arrived a few months ago but seem to have disappeared.

The trailer park is ruled by Harris Squires, a slithering racist who’s hyped on steroids, and his even scarier girlfriend, Frankie.

The two terrorize the illegal laborers while maintaining side businesses of drugs and snuff films until they can sell the waterfront park to developers. Harris kidnaps Tula after she sees him dumping the body of a young prostitute. Tula’s only chance of rescue is Doc, who treats finding the girl as he would any government mission.

Harris and Frankie may be White’s most believable — and frightening — villains. Drugs, a disregard for human dignity and a tendency to destroy everything in their line of sight make this couple dangerous. Betrayal, even to each other, is part of their nature. The addition of drug lord Victorino fuels the nonstop action.

The plight of illegal immigrants who are vulnerable to human predators elevates the first part of “Night Vision,” but White dilutes this theme when he allows the issues to overtake the plot. Tula’s mystical beliefs and her devotion to Joan of Arc are overused and become irritating.

“Night Vision” works best when reluctant soldier Doc goes into high gear, out to avenge the entire trailer park and rescue Tula, and, fortunately, there are enough of those scenes to sat-

tical terms, that probably was its finest hour. Nothing else it did ever came close to matching the pivotal role played by codebreakers who decrypted the German and Japanese military and naval communications. Waller is also particularly good in showing how Donovan’s own weaknesses and predilections would, in so many respects, become those of the Central Intelligence Agency he worked so hard to see established in the postwar years — though Harry S. Truman denied him the opportunity to lead it.

Donovan had a faith in the efficacy of covert action that he inculcated in the lieutenants who would go on to direct the CIA and a casual approach to predictive analysis that would be echoed over and over in subsequent years. OSS, for example, confidently told Roosevelt that Nazi Germany would collapse within a couple of months of the Normandy landings.

Similarly, anyone familiar with the so-called “Curveball” disinformation for which the CIA fell during the run-up to the Iraq war will find an eerie foreshadowing in the way a one-time Italian pornographer conned OSS into accepting a steady stream of concocted intelligence on the axis supposedly leaked by Vatican diplomatic circles.

Waller’s realism about these issues combined with an obvious affection for the remarkable charter of Wild Bill Donovan have resulted in a splendid biography.

Country singer Rodney Crowell writes another gem in memoir “Chinaberry Sidewalks”

by Rodney Crowell (Knopf, 259 pgs., $24.95)

By Tim Bross St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Nashville songwriter and performer Rodney Crowell has written a memoir that is several cuts above the average show business memoir. It is, in fact, much better than most memoirs of any type.

Crowell’s “Chinaberry Sidewalks” reaches Nashville, Tenn., only toward the end. The focus here is on the east Houston community of Jacinto City, described

by Crowell’s mother as “your daddy’s new hellhole,” with side trips into backwater parts of Kentucky and Tennessee, where his father, J.W., and mother, Cauzette, were reared.

Crowell’s story is about his rejection of, then his acceptance of and love for, his parents, who fought endlessly with each other and often mistreated Crowell.

Cauzette regularly whipped Crowell with shoots from the Chinaberry tree that Crowell had planted, and J.W. ignored his son for long periods.

Cauzette was beaten down — suffering a stroke in utero, 13 miscarriages, epileptic seizures and the death of her first child, a boy, just 37 hours after birth. J.W. and Cauzette never were given a cause of death.

She met J.W. at a Roy Acuff concert in Buchanan, Tenn.

“I got walked home that night by the sweetest boy in the world, and I ain’t even thought about another man since,” she recalled.

J.W. was a frustrated country singer, a disciple of Hank Williams. He also yearned to be a civil engineer, but the idea of going to college was thwarted early by his sharecropping father.

Those ingredients, fueled by a lot of alcohol, produced many hard times for young Crowell, the only surviving child.

Crowell writes without selfpity about those times and with joy about the good times, of which there were many in a boyhood before computers, wall-towall practices and “quality time.”

“Underfunded, overwhelmed, and out of their league from the git-go, my parents took to home ownership like horse thieves to a hanging judge.”

— Rodney Crowell, from “Chinaberry Sidewalks”

He tells his story with flair, and although his sentences sometimes run on a bit, they often have a kick. Here is Crowell on his parents’ ability to maintain a house: “Underfunded, overwhelmed, and out of their league from the git-go, my parents took to home ownership like horse thieves to a hanging judge.”

Crowell admits to picking up a few of his father’s traits. Both shot from the hip and have disdain for anyone who plans things out. Crowell writes: “Family vans cruising down the highway with all their vacation gear securely fastened on the top bring out the worst in me, my gut reaction being to ram bumper car-style into the driver’s side door and wreck both automobiles.”

And of course there was the

country music connection.

J.W. took his son to a Hank Williams concert when Crowell was 2 years old. At 8, Crowell recalls accompanying his parents to Magnolia Gardens, east of Houston, to hear Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. That five-page scene will certainly have a place in country-music histories.

When Crowell was 11, he filled in as drummer for J.W.’s band, which prowled the honky-tonks of east Houston. Crowell witnessed up close his father’s need for attention. Crowell’s career as a drummer ended when Cauzette thumped a drunken woman who had taken a liking to J.W. By the time Crowell got to high school, he’d had enough of his parents’ drinking and fighting, and he moved 30 miles away to live with friends who had formed a band. Cauzette and J.W. soon followed, though they kept their distance from Crowell.

Crowell’s story then focuses on what became his biggest interest: girls. His early relationships ended badly. A psychiatrist told him later that he was always pursuing the unattainable “exceptional woman” to make up for his hatred of his mother’s low self-esteem.

No doubt his background, poor even by Jacinto City standards, played a role. Particularly touching was Crowell’s recollection of an incident in seventh grade. A girl he liked said to him: “You’re kind of cute, but everybody thinks you’re on free lunches.”

Crowell survived a spiral into alcohol and barbiturates, and in the end reconciled with his parents.

He had five good years with his father before his death, and many more with his mother in Nashville.

As noted, there is little about show business. Crowell’s 13year marriage to Rosanne Cash, Johnny’s daughter, gets short shrift. Likewise his work with Emmylou Harris and a raft of Nashville performers.

That material would have a hard time competing with what went on in Jacinto City.

Marketing is the oldest profession for Southern belle Georgia Bottoms ”Georgia Bottoms”

by Mark Childress (Little, Brown, 288 pgs., $24.99)

By Susan Salter Reynolds Los Angeles Times

This is Mark Childress’ seventh novel, and it’s a doozy. It is set, like his others (“Crazy in Alabama,” “One Mississippi”) in the South, and the simple act of reading “Georgia Bottoms” releases tension; buttons are undone, shoes kicked off — man, is it hot.

Georgia Bottoms is not perfect, but she is fun to be with: “That was one secret to Geor-

gia’s cheerfulness: she thought about the things she wanted to think about, and blotted out everything else. Another secret: she was the exception to most rules.” Georgia earns her living by diversifying her assets: Six days a week (with one of rest), she entertains a different upstanding member of the community. Six Points, Ala., would be much less exciting without this Baptist belle.

When the married preacher decides to confess his Saturday assignations to the congregation, Georgia drowns him out by fainting in the aisle. To add to her in-

come, Georgia sells quilts made by a settlement of black women on the Catfish River, some of them “the granddaughters of actual slaves.” Georgia rationalizes doubling the price she paid for them: Marketing, she thinks, is the oldest profession. “You had to avert your eyes, fight off the image, and keep going,” she thinks after an elderly visitor is caught drooling. But her heart is large. “Each man thought he was the only man. Each thought the whole idea was his idea, his gift the only gift. That was the secret to making a living, the Georgia way.”

Ecosystem of Channel Islands is setting for a ‘killer’ story “When the Killing’s Done”

by T.C. Boyle (Viking, 369 pgs., $26.95)

By Mike Fischer Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

T.C. Boyle’s “When the Killing’s Done” opens with a storm at sea that comes straight from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” but don’t let that fool you.

While Boyle’s new novel is crammed with would-be Prosperos trying to remake fantasy islands, nature is having none of it.

As is so often the case with Boyle, many of whose novels involve the troubled relationship between humans and their environment, the ultimate joke in this riveting narrative is on us and our utopian attempts to get back to Eden.

The magic kingdom in “Killing”? It’s what are often referred to as the Galapagos of North America: California’s Channel Islands, standing off the coast of Santa Barbara.

Far enough removed from the mainland to have developed unique ecosystems, these islands are nevertheless close enough to remain within reach of weekend recreationists and every stripe of animal lover.

And make no mistake: Animal lovers come in many shapes and sizes. Based on real events from the past decade, “Killing” centers on a long-standing disagreement among them.

In one corner of the ring stands Alma Boyd Takesue and her partner, Tim Sickafoose, National Park Service biologists involved in programs to exterminate invaders — think rats and wild pigs — decimating the islands’ native species.

Standing opposite are dreadlocked local businessman Dave LaJoy and his partner, folk singer Anise Reed, charter members of For the Protection of Animals, a radical animal rights group opposed to killing animals under any circumstances.

Executing one of his signature moves — think novels like

“The Tortilla Curtain” or “Drop City” — Boyle shows us how much these antagonists share, even as the tension between them rises and the violence begins spinning out of control.

They’re all vegetarians. Alma and Anise — in their 30s and born just one year apart — were both raised by strong, fiercely independent mothers, and they are moved in starkly similar ways by the plight of individually suffering animals. Alma and Dave are both control freaks prone to fits of rage, often about the same things, including people in general and traffic in particular.

And they all — like everyone in this book — love to eat. A lot.

“Killing” is obsessed with food — from the rituals involved in its preparation and consumption to what that says about our status as just another beast in the jungle, where characters’ “soft snap of mastication” or an Alma who “works her molars over a cud of sunflower seeds” remind us who and what we are.

Reducing his characters to animals who often think and behave alike makes it harder to see any of them as fully formed individuals, and “Killing” gives us broadly

sketched types — some almost cartoonishly flawed — rather than textured characters with rich inner lives.

But the payoff is a broader canvas, which Boyle populates with a large cast of minor characters as well as deftly interwoven stories, the dilemmas posed by island ecologies and the history of the Channel Islands.

Boyle keeps everything moving in the same direction with a characteristically first-rate plot, which rumbles forward with the relentless force and momentum of a California mudslide.

Best of all, Boyle combines this strong commitment to the sheer entertainment of a well-told story with an insistence that we think for ourselves. Refusing to choose between his protagonists, he ensures that even after the killing is done, we will remain alive to the high-stakes questions such killing poses for creatures large and small — only one of which is us.

Value Continued from F1 “It looks like they just cooked the books — they just doubled the numbers,” said Todd Spencer, executive vice president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, a trade group for the trucking industry, which faces higher costs under some of the Transportation Department’s new rules. The Bush administration rejected a plan in 2005 to make car companies double the roof strength of new vehicles, which it estimated might prevent 135 deaths in rollover accidents each year.

At the time, Transportation officials figured that the cost of the roofs would exceed the value of lives saved by almost $800 million. So the agency proposed a smaller increase in roof strength that might save 44 lives a year.

Last year, the Obama administration imposed the stricter and more expensive roof-strength standard, and it published a new set of calculations showing that the benefits outstripped the costs.

Most of the difference came from the increased value of human life. By raising that number to $6.1 million from a figure of $3.5 million in the original study, the Obama administration rendered those 135 lives — and hundreds of averted injuries — more valuable than the roofs.

The pattern of increases is scrambling a long-standing political dynamic. The business community historically has pushed for regulators to put a dollar value on life, part of a broader campaign to make agencies prove that the benefits of proposed regulations exceed the costs.

But some business groups are reconsidering the effectiveness of cost-benefit analysis as a check on regulations. The United States Chamber of Commerce is now campaigning for Congress to assert greater control over the rule-making process, reflecting a judgment that formulas may offer less reliable protection than politicians.

Some consumer groups, meanwhile, find themselves cheering the government’s results but reluctant to embrace the method. Advocates for increased regulation have long argued that cost-benefit analysis understates both the value of life and the benefits of government oversight.

“If analysis is going to be imposed on the rule-making process, we want higher values for injury and for fatalities,” said Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, which pushed the Transportation Department to reconsider the roof-strength regulation.

But Weissman said he still believed that such analysis was an impediment to necessary regulation.

“The bigger picture is absent,” he said. “How do you do costbenefit analysis on global warming? It constrains the imagination. It really is a constraint in terms of bounding what is given serious consideration.”

The current rise in the value of life is based on the work of Viscusi, who wrote his first paper on cost-benefit analysis as a Harvard undergraduate in the early 1970s. He won a prize and found a career.

The idea he and others have since developed in a long string of studies is that differences in wages show the value that workers place on avoiding the risk of death. Say that companies must pay lumberjacks an additional $1,000 a year to perform work that generally kills one in 1,000 workers. It follows that most Americans would forgo $1,000 a year to avoid that risk — and that 1,000 Americans will collectively forgo $1 million to avoid the same risk entirely. That number is said to be the “statistical value of life.”

Viscusi’s work pegs it at about $8.7 million in current dollars.

Before the current administration, only the EPA had fully embraced this methodology. Other agencies relied instead on the results of surveys asking Americans how much they would spend to avoid a given risk. This technique tends to produce significantly lower results. An even older technique, which yields even lower numbers, is to sum the wages lost when a worker dies. In 2000 the EPA set a baseline of $7.8 million, updated to current dollars. But in 2004, the office that issues clean air regulations reduced that baseline by $500,000 in an analysis of proposed limits on emissions from industrial boilers.

Last year, the EPA directed its various offices to return to the 2000 baseline, adjusting that figure for inflation and wage growth. In some recent studies, the EPA has used a figure of $9.1 million after making those

adjustments.

The agency said at the same time that it was working to set a new standard. In a white paper issued in December, it raised the possibility that people might place a higher value on avoiding a slow death from cancer than a quick death in a car accident.

It also broached a concept it described as “altruism,” the idea that people may place a higher value on the common good than on their own survival.

John Graham, who oversaw

C OV ER S T ORY the use of cost-benefit analysis during the Bush administration, said that the scientific justification was “quite strong” for raising the values used by the Transportation Department, but he cautioned that the EPA was going too far.

“Why should the same clinical condition be valued differently at different federal agencies?”

Graham, now dean of the School of Environmental and Public Affairs at Indiana University, asked in an e-mailed response to

questions.

Many experts similarly ask why life itself should be valued differently. The EPA and the Transportation Department use numbers that are $3 million apart.

The Office of Management and Budget told agencies in 2004 that they should pick a number between $1 million and $10 million. That guidance remains in effect, although the office has more recently warned agencies that it would be difficult to justify

the use of numbers lower than $5 million, two administration officials said.

Close observers of the process point to two reasons for the variation in numbers. First, they say that setting a single standard is not worth the high-stakes battle that would be required with advocates on both sides. The Obama administration, like its predecessors, has preferred to deal with the issue informally, on an agency-by-agency basis.

Second, they say the absence of

a standard preserves flexibility.

“The reality is that politics frequently trumps economics,” said Robert Hahn, a leading scholar of the U.S. regulatory process who is now a professor at the University of Manchester in England. But he said that putting a price tag on life still was worthwhile, to help politicians choose among priorities and to shape the details of their proposals.

“Even small changes,” he said, “can save billions of dollars.”

BIOMASS EMISSIONS

HECS

Tech for seniors and much more echnology has changed business and our daily lives in ways few could have imagined not too many years ago. And changes in technology itself are occurring so quickly that it can make your head spin.

Imagine, then, how some senior citizens must feel as they try to navigate social networking sites, smart phones, applications and more, whether to stay connected with children and grandchildren, friends or the broader community.

That’s why Central Oregon Council on Aging’s program, Teen Elder Computer Help, or TECH, is such a great idea. Begun last year by COCOA’s executive officer, Pamela Norr, it uses tech-savvy local high school students to teach seniors the ins and outs of technology that helps them stay connected with the people, places and events important to them.

Begun as an experiment, it proved an immediate hit. Norr is repeating the program again in coming weeks (details follow) and has visions of similar programs being replicated around the nation. It garnered national attention last month in a Wall Street Journal column and has twice been featured on The Bulletin’s business pages over the past year.

Each time, it was one of those stories that resonated with me, maybe because those senior days don’t seem so far off or maybe because I, too, could probably benefit from one of the TECH classes.

Norr believes the mission of agencies like hers is more than helping seniors with food, stability and independence.

“It’s also remaining connected to your community, being socially involved with your family” and celebrating aging, she said. “To help seniors feel interconnected, independent and engaged is just really important.”

That’s the beauty of TECH. Credit goes to Norr and COCOA for the program, not just for what it means to seniors, but what it can mean for teens who help them.

“When we held our first class (last year), I was almost in tears,” Norr said. “It was just magical to watch these teens be patient and generous with their time — and kind.”

She’s applied for grants and will look to do some fundraising to build a TECH center that could be a draw for seniors from throughout the region, creating intergenerational links through a common facility.

Meanwhile, programs are scheduled in Bend and Redmond starting in March.

In Bend, COCOA has partnered with Clear One Health Plans to use one of its computer-equipped conference rooms for classes. Classes are slated to begin March 16 and run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. each Wednesday through May at Clear One, 2965 N.E. Conners Ave. Summit High School students have volunteered to teach those classes.

In Redmond, classes are scheduled 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 13 and 27 at the public library, 827 S.W. Deschutes Ave. Those classes will be taught by teens from the library’s teen advisory group.

Space is limited, so registration is required for the Bend and Redmond classes by calling COCOA at 541-548-8817 or e-mailing admin@councilonaging.org.

Norr also has launched discussions with the Deschutes Public Library system to expand the program to places like La Pine, Sunriver and the new east-Bend library at times that would not interrupt normal public use of the computers.

In an ideal world, Norr envisions a TECH center becoming much more than teens teaching technology to seniors, however. She pictures what she likes to call an elder college, where seniors could take unique classes not offered in the community, plus share their knowledge with teens and other younger people.

“I think we have to get to a place as a culture where when you’re an elder, you’re giving back,” where elders can celebrate their place in life and participate. “Your job doesn’t go away, it just changes.”

So at the center, seniors could pass on skills or stories they might have.

Think crocheting, or stories of service in World War II, for example, Norr said. Perhaps they have job-skills tips they could offer teens or other young people, or advice for surviving difficult economies.

“There are just so many things that our elders know,” she said. “That’s our obligation and our privilege” to receive that knowledge.

It’s that intergenerational concept Norr wants to nourish and the TECH program has become a perfect launching pad.

John Day bowhunter develops fabric that could weaken animals’ 6th sense

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

J

ohn Day resident Mike Slinkard, who has been in the outdoor-gear business for two decades, is proud to report that more and more hunters are convinced his newest product isn’t just a gimmick.

Slinkard, who for years spent his free time running an archery shop out of his garage when he was not working at a sawmill, already has won international recognition for his bowstrings and bow buss cables, sold through his company Winner’s Choice Custom Bowstrings.

For a year now, Slinkard has been selling and marketing the Human Energy Concealment Systems, or HECS, a hunting suit he and a colleague invented that cancels out the user’s electromagnetic energy, which in turn keeps animals from sensing him or her. The suit includes pants, a shirt and a head net.

At first, Slinkard said, there was suspicion of the thing among bowhunters. But one by one, the skeptics are taking the suit for a spin, and finding themselves intrigued.

“Bow hunting is difficult as it is, and if we can get something that gives us just a little bit more advantage … then I’m all in favor of it,” said Tory Allman, manager of Cent-Wise Sporting Goods in Redmond and owner of a HECS suit.

U.S. scrambles to dig out of rare earth mining hole

By Tiffany Hsu Los Angeles Times

In the Mojave Desert just off Interstate 15 on the way to Las Vegas, workers are digging for dirt that may be worth far more than a casino full of chips.

The massive hole is about to get even bigger. Molycorp Inc., which owns the open mine, plans to dig out about 40,000 tons of dirt a year by 2014, up 1,200 percent from the current rate of about 3,000 tons.

The Colorado company is boosting production to meet an insatiable global appetite for rare earth elements — minerals that have become a hot commodity because they’re used in all kinds of electronics, including smart phone touchscreens, wind turbines and fuel cells.

New rules calm John Day plant’s insecurity

By Ed Merriman The Bulletin

A cloud of uncertainty hanging over the new $6.3 million biomass plant in John Day has been removed by revised biomass boiler emission rules announced Wednesday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, according to officials with Prineville-based Ochoco Lumber Co., which built the plant last year.

“With the revised rules, we intend on operating into perpetuity,” said Bruce Daucsavage, CEO at Ochoco Lumber, which owns the Malheur Lumber Co. sawmill in John Day, about 150 miles northeast of Bend. The biomass plant, built with $4.8 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding, operates in conjunction with the lumber mill.

Under the original version of boiler emission rules adopted by the EPA in June, clean-burning biomass boilers, which convert woody materials from forest thinning, agricultural wastes and poplar or cottonwood plantations, were lumped together with large coal-fired boilers that emit hazardous toxics such as sulfur and mercury.

Daucsavage said the EPA granted a three-year exemption in June to those rules for boilers in biomass plants. But at the end of that period, the rules could have required biomass plant operators to spend so much on pollution-control equipment that it could have doomed small biomass plants like the one in John Day. However, under the revised rules announced Wednesday, instead of having to worry about what amounted to a potential doomsday scenario in three years, Daucsavage said the biomass plant, as well as the adjacent lumber mill, now have a stable and bright future.

Not all stars are fans of Facebook

By Sue McAllister San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Facebook may have 500 million friends, an Oscar-nominated film and an Egyptian revolution to its credit.

But not everyone embraces the social network, including plenty of tech, sports and political luminaries.

That’s right, there’s a category of people who just might be too big — or too busy — to Facebook.

You can’t “friend” Cisco Chief Executive John Chambers on Facebook, or Apple mastermind Steve Jobs (though you can find people pretending to be him).

You won’t find status updates from the Obama girls, or pithy posts from actor James Franco or hockey star Patrick Marleau.

“I don’t use Facebook,” Marleau, a winger for the San Jose Sharks, said last week. “The people who know me already know my number.”

Indeed, high-profile people who shun Facebook have a variety of reasons for avoiding the planet’s most popular social networking platform, from privacy concerns to time constraints.

“Facebook isn’t for everyone,” said Zizi Papacharissi, communications professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and editor of the book “A Networked Self.” “It’s a technology, and you have to find a place for it in your life. Or maybe there isn’t a place for it in your life.”

Chief executives of publicly traded companies, for example, wouldn’t want to talk business

HECS Continued from G1 Slinkard is delighted to see the feedback improving, as people learn more about the science he said shows the validity of the product.

What’s more, he’s eager to take the technology — on which there are already five patents pending, he said — into new territories. He and others have been exploring aquatic, military and even postal uses of the fabric, which could allow Slinkard to enter new markets. The bowstrings company has 38 employees and the HECS company has three. Slinkard said the latter can expand its work force and perhaps establish a manufacturing component as demand grows.

In the meantime, he said, hunters are getting closer to animals in the current HECS suits, which retail for $149.

The HECS origin traces back to a conversation Slinkard was having about four years ago with an employee, Max Maupin, about why certain animals apparently can feel the presence of a nearby hunter. Once animals come within about 40 or 50 yards of the hunter, Slinkard said, they will behave differently, feeding less and looking around more.

“We’ve all seen that, hunters, honestly for quite a long time,” he said. “There’s got to be something there. There’s got to be science.”

The two set off to find an explanation and a solution. They came up with the idea of stopping the electromagnetic energy, had a New Zealand company come up with fabric prototypes, found a factory in Taiwan to mass-produce the stuff and chose a factory in China for the stitching work.

The HECS was unveiled in January 2010.

The fabric that makes the HECS work is a tightly woven grid of conductive carbon fiber.

In a way, Slinkard said, the fab-

on Facebook, some experts say, for fear of posting something that might get them in trouble with stock market regulators, or even with shareholders.

Even though there are privacy controls on Facebook — confusing and labyrinthine, some would say, but controls nonetheless — many in high-visibility positions don’t want to use the site for fear of spilling too much information about themselves in public.

Earlier this month, for example, First Lady Michelle Obama said during an interview with “The Today Show” that presidential daughters Malia and Sasha are not allowed to use Facebook.

And in a recent Newsweek interview with Oscar-nominated actors, when asked, none said they were on Facebook currently.

Actor James Franco said he had been briefly, but quit because he didn’t like the way his different groups of friends got slung together in one big pool.

Social media strategist Jeremiah Owyang of the Altimeter Group, based in San Mateo, Calif., said some celebrities are “concerned that social media will dilute their brand” by overexposing them to the public.

Some celebs discover, just as the nonfamous have, that Facebook doesn’t suit them. Sharks center Joe Thornton was on Facebook for about a year, a few years back, and then dropped it.

“There’s no use for it for me,” he said in a locker-room interview.

“I like to keep in contact with about six people in my life, and that’s about it.”

ric resembles the grid on the window of a microwave, which stops wider waves of radiation from emitting outward and impacting a person standing in front of the appliance.

Similarly, if a hunter’s heartbeat quickens or muscles tense up, the nearby electrical environment can change, and an animal can notice and perhaps run off.

This is what hunters call an animal’s sixth sense. A HECS suit interrupts the electromagnetic current and keeps it bottled up, allowing for a better shot.

While a bowhunter can use the technology for purposes of offense, a diver could use a wetsuit made of HECS fabric as a defensive tool, with the ability to perhaps get closer to sharks and other creatures without being detected. That sort of wetsuit is not yet available on the market, but it could be one day, Slinkard said.

HECS hunting suits, however, are available in stores, with more and more people coming in to inquire about it, Cent-Wise’s Allman said.

Some customers have expressed suspicion of the technology, but he believes it works, because of personal experience.

Allman said he was wearing a HECS suit when he came across a black bear in a canyon in the Cascades last September, and something strange happened.

“This thing came angling up out a creek bed about 65 yards from me, and he just stopped, and he’s looking at me … for

a fairly lengthy period of time — 15, 20 seconds,” Allman said.

“Instead of bolting like they normally do, he took a few more steps.” The bear stared at Allman again. Then Allman walked a little closer. The bear, Allman said, approached him four times before wandering off. Wow, he thought — “this HECS thing is blocking my normal human signature, my electromagnetic energy.”

Not that Allman tried to shoot an arrow at the bear. He was hunting for elk that day. But he was nonetheless impressed.

Gary Lewis, who writes The Bulletin’s hunting and fishing column, has been intrigued by the idea behind the HECS suit since hearing about it a year ago, but he has not yet had a chance to try one out, to see what effect it has.

“I think I would be foolish to say that there’s nothing to it,” Lewis said.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, February 27, 2011 G3

Biomass Continued from G1 “We hired 12 people to work at the biomass plant and fired it up the third week in December,” Daucsavage said.

In addition to assuring those 12 jobs last more than three years, he said the long-term viability of the biomass plant also will help assure the continued operation of Malheur Lumber Co. sawmill and the 80 jobs it supports there and at its corporate headquarters in Prineville.

“With that plant, we have the ability to take all the material that comes out of the forests and convert it to lumber or biomass products, such as wood pellets and compressed wood bricks similar to Presto-Logs,” he said.

“Now we can be competitive and keep our biomass plant and lumber mill running.”

Without a biomass plant, Daucsavage said the Malheur Lumber sawmill was in jeopardy because the company couldn’t afford to compete for stewardship timber harvest contracts. The contracts combine some commercial timber harvest with forest health and fuels reduction treatments typically required because forests are so overcrowded with sickly, stunted trees.

“Our sawmill can only manufacture lumber from suitable logs, but a lot of the (logs) coming off the national forests in Eastern Oregon are not good saw logs,” Daucsavage said. “In the past, we had no use for the small, dead, crooked, (stressed) timber, so it would have been left in the woods or burned in slash piles.”

Now, with the ability to convert the woody slash into renewable or biomass products, he said the company can use every bit of forest material to keep the biomass plant and the lumber mill running.

“Nothing goes to waste, so we can bid competitively for stewardship logging contracts designed to improve forest health, reduce the threat of large-scale forest fires, and thin the forest to a healthy level where the remaining trees are far enough apart that they can get the moisture, sunlight and nutrients to grow into big, healthy trees,” Daucsavage said.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.,

Bruce Daucsavage, CEO at Prineville-based Ochoco Lumber, which owns the Malheur Lumber Co. sawmill in John Day, about 150 miles northeast of Bend, says revised rules for biomass boilers create a brighter, more stable future for biomass plants like the $6.3 million plant the company built last year and began operating in December at the Malheur sawmill site. said in a statement Thursday in response to the EPA announcement of emissions standards for industrial boilers that “the EPA’s decision is a win for public health, clean air, and the future of the biomass industry in Oregon. Over the past year, I have spoken at length with EPA Secretary Lisa Jackson and her staff about the economic and environmental benefits of biomass energy production.”

Merkley said the boiler rule revision announced Wednesday marks the second time in a month that “the EPA has responded with positive regulatory decisions that will make the air our children breathe cleaner while supporting a critical part of rural Oregon’s economic future.

“In this case, members of the business community shared information with EPA showing that the standards they first proposed couldn’t be met technically, and the EPA responded by modifying their proposal. The

result is a set of common-sense standards that will reduce toxic air pollution and protect children’s health, using standards that should be more practical for business owners.”

Oregon’s timber industry peaked in 1968 with 523 lumber mills operating statewide, but with harvests on national forests shrinking due, in part, to endangered species and other issues, the number of mills fell below 400 during the 1980s. The decline continued and just 111 operate today, according to Gary Lettman, chief economist with the Oregon Department of Forestry.

In all of Eastern Oregon, the number of mills that produce lumber, plywood, paper and other wood products plummeted from 64 in 1985 to 14 today. That includes two in the tri-county region of Central Oregon — the Warm Springs Forest Products Industries mill, which is supplied with timber from the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs,

and the Interfor Pacific Mill in Gilchrist, which gets its timber from private and government lands, according to Lettman.

Daucsavage said, “The revised boiler rules help us tremendously. This is an example of government action that stimulates job creation, as opposed to the jobsquelching regulation,” which he said seems to have been the top priority of state and federal agencies, to the detriment of Oregon’s

timber industry.

“It gives us, as well as other forest-products companies that want to build biomass plants, the long-term stability we need to attract investment,” Daucsavage said of the revised EPA rules, which he said occurred, in part, due to intense lobbying by Merkley, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Rep. Peter Defazio, D-Ore., and Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. “Those four certainly led Oregon’s charge to clarify the rules,” Daucsavage said. “Walden was all over this.”

As recently as 1982, Ochoco Lumber operated five lumber mills: two in Prineville, one in John Day, one in Idaho and one in Lithuania.

“Now, Malheur Lumber is the only one left,” Daucsavage said.

With the public’s growing awareness of poor forest health conditions and a cycle of recordsetting forest fires reported by the Oregon Department of Forestry, dating back to the mid1990s, Daucsavage said the U.S. Forest Service is busy planning widespread stewardship thinning projects to improve forest health and reduce the threat of catastrophic fires. He hopes that will translate into a longterm stable timber supply needed to restart a second shift that would employ another 40 workers at the Malheur sawmill.

It would cost about $5 million to purchase and install all of the equipment and make other improvements necessary to add a second shift at the mill, Daucsavage said.

“You are not going to see that kind of investment if you don’t have emission rules that are certain,” he said.

He said the key to reviving Oregon’s timber industry to a sustainable level and major jobcreating industry in rural areas is to get the Forest Service and environmental groups to support a sustainable, guaranteed level of harvest. Daucsavage believes that’s needed to restore forest health and attract the level of investment needed to build a new generation of modern lumber mills, biomass plants and secondary forest-products plants.

“I think this is a win, win, win situation” of creating more good-paying, family-wage jobs in some of the most economically depressed areas of the state, restoring forest health and converting material that would have gone to waste into clean, renewable energy products, Daucsavage said.

Apps Continued from G1 The most promising, and interesting, of the list is Oscar Backstage Pass. The app will work on iPhones and iPod Touches (as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection), but those with iPads will have a much better time with it.

Backstage Pass, unlike most other apps, will change significantly as Sunday’s festivities move along. Before the awards ceremony, the app provides taped video segments about various Oscar elements, along with a countdown to the event.

Once ABC’s televised coverage begins (at 5:30 tonight), the app’s screen will reset for the 90-minute red carpet coverage.

ABC plans to provide users with options for eight camera angles not shown to network viewers.

So if ABC’s on-air commentators are interviewing someone you care little for, you can watch elsewhere.

When coverage breaks for commercials, the app’s live video feed continues.

When the ceremony starts 90 minutes later, the app will change modes again. Plans call for users to have nine options for camera views, including backstage coverage and a view of the makeup chair, where the next Oscar presenters will be getting ready.

After the show ends, the app will show live video of the Governor’s Ball, the official Oscar party. This time, plans call for viewers to be able to choose from five camera angles.

For all three portions of the event coverage, one of the alternate camera views will include narration. Otherwise, viewers will hear ambient sound.

Those who do not want to spend a dollar on ABC’s app, or who own Android devices, should consider Live from the Red Carpet, from the E! Network.

The app provides one additional camera view from the red carpet proceedings, from the E! Network’s broadcast team, as well as a “Glam Cam” showing 360-degree views of stars’ outfits.

In addition to the Oscars, Live from the Red Carpet also covered the Grammy Awards, the Golden Globes and other starfilled affairs. After each event, E! offers video highlights and written stories.

As entertaining as video can

OBSESSED WITH HOLLYWOOD APP For people who love the Academy Awards, tonight’s ceremony could be the first where mobile devices truly change the experience.

Screen grab via New York Times News Service

Quick calls ProCamera ($3 on iPhone), a highly rated photo app, recently updated its features to include deeper zoom, more photo effects and improved exposure controls. Crowdbeacon, a new (free) iPhone app, broadcasts your queries to local users who can recommend answers on a wide range of questions.

Android users who were inspired by this week’s holiday should consider the U.S. Presidents app, which is free. The app includes trivia, quizzes and a presidential parade. be, though, it fails to fully satisfy one of the more pressing needs of the Oscar viewer — namely, information about nominees and movies. On this score, the Vanity Fair Hollywood: Oscars Edition is a good pick.

Unlike the video-centric apps, Vanity Fair provides basic information about the nominees in each major category, along with relevant clips from the nominated work.

The app also offers some good conversation fodder with its Oscar polls. You can cast your vote for Oscar winners and see how your picks compare to the wider population of Oscar voters who

use the app. Slide shows and videos are also available.

The app is as slick as the magazine’s printed content, which is a nice switch from many other free celebrity-oriented apps. But that quality comes at a price: Different sections of the app took minutes to load for the first time, even on a high-speed Wi-Fi connection.

A much less polished but much faster route to Oscar information is Awards Guide: The Oscars, which is free. The app offers quick lookups for this year’s nominees, as well as information on past awards, nominees, venues and hosts.

At least as of early this week, Android users had no option that could fully compete with the Vanity Fair or Awards Guide apps. A better bet would be to open a mobile browser and log into Oscar.go.com, the official Oscar website. (Bring your patience. The site is harder to navigate on a cell phone.)

If you fancy yourself a Hollywood trivia nut, or you would like to inject some friendly competition into your Oscar party, the Obsessed With Hollywood iPhone app is a solid bet. The app is featured in Apple’s Game Center, and it includes 2,500 questions and 200 hours of game play.

Probably just enough time, in other words, to get you to next year’s Oscar festivities and, presumably, many more apps.

Continued from G1 The U.S. clean-tech industry, which relies heavily on the minerals, is elated by the stepped-up production rate, but some believe it is not coming soon enough.

In recent months the industry has been in a bit of a panic after China, which produces 97 percent of the world’s supply of rare earths, slashed its exports to a trickle to feed its growing domestic needs.

Rare earth shortages could cause companies already weakened by the recession to shrivel or stall, industry officials say.

Molycorp’s Mountain Pass mine produces about 3 percent of the world’s rare earths, but the company plans to eventually turn out a quarter of the total supply.

“The use of these materials has really skyrocketed, with demand outstripping supply literally overnight,” said Molycorp Chief Executive Mark Smith.

“We’ve got some serious issues in this industry. It’s going to be a tough year.”

The mine, about 16 miles from the Nevada border, has one of the world’s largest deposits of rare earth elements outside Asia and is the only commercial producer in the Western Hemisphere. The elements — 17 total, all with tongue-twisting names such as neodymium and dysprosium — are crucial to the clean-tech and high-tech industries.

Rare earth elements aren’t actually rare, having picked up the misleading name in the 18th and 19th centuries before it was clear how common they actually are.

Cerium, one of the elements that is sometimes used as a catalyst for self-cleaning ovens, is more abundant in the Earth’s crust than copper or lead.

But mining for rare earths is difficult and expensive. The elements are usually found scattered in small fragments among rocks and must be separated and then processed.

The procedure is rarely ecofriendly, creating hundreds of gallons of salty wastewater

per minute, consuming huge amounts of electricity, requiring toxic materials for the refining process and occasionally unearthing dirt that is radioactive.

The high costs and damaging techniques pushed most rare earth mines out of business in the early 1990s. Only China kept its mines going, positioning itself for the ensuing high-tech boom and the resulting rare earth-hungry products.

“Bottom line, we fell asleep as a country and as an industry,” Smith said. “We got very used to these really low prices coming out of Asia and never really thought about it from a supplychain standpoint.”

But recently, China began cracking down on illegal rareearth mining operations that had cropped up there because of the high demand. As shipments of the materials dwindled in the last year, prices have soared. Cerium, for example, jumped more than 600 percent, from less than $10 a kilogram to nearly $70.

The supply squeeze has raised tensions in the delicate relationship between the U.S. clean-tech industry and its Asian counterpart. The U.S. trade representative’s office has said that if China

continues to rebuff requests to ease export limits on rare earths, it may take the dispute to the World Trade Organization.

“We better get on the ball here, or our green industries are going to be at the complete mercy of China,” said Jack Lifton, cofounder of the rare commodities research firm Technology Metals Research.

Many hope the Mountain Pass facility will help loosen China’s chokehold on rare earth mining and manufacturing. Investors recently pushed Molycorp stock to $50 a share from its $13.25 debut price in July.

The U.S. rare earth industry is hoping other domestic mines will open.

The U.S. Geological Survey has identified several sites where rare earths could be mined. Congress is considering proposals, some pushing for loan guarantees for rare earths suppliers, to encourage more domestic research and production. Other countries, including Australia, Canada and Brazil, are also on the hunt for more sites.

But developing a new mine from scratch requires prospecting, exploration, permitting and construction.

And even if more mines open in the U.S., the country has few companies that can process rare earths, use them to manufacture batteries and magnets and work

them into products. Without a domestic supply chain, most of the material extracted in the U.S. would have to be shipped overseas anyway.

There aren’t many researchers or industry workers in the U.S. with experience working with rare earths. Not long ago, Molycorp recruiters were unable to find potential hires or even universities that offered rare earths courses. The company has 22 scientists exploring uses and sources of the elements; China has thousands.

“It takes a lot to go from some dirt in the ground to magnets,” said Lifton, the analyst. “Finding a deposit is like saying, ‘George Washington slept here.’ It doesn’t mean much. We’ve got enough bananas, but now we’ve got to figure out how to make banana splits.”

But some clean-tech executives said that the industry may be relying too much on rare earths.

Metallurgy experts point to the cobalt crisis of the late 1970s as an example. The element — used in alloys, batteries, pigments and more — was in short supply as political unrest locked down the primary reserves in Africa just as demand was starting to boom.

“Tomorrow, it’ll be something else,” said Alexander King, director of the Ames Laboratory in Iowa, run by the Energy Department. “The thing we need to learn

is how to control the economics, to develop alternative materials on a very short turnaround.”

Some suggest recycling existing rare earth materials

Update pushes Lincoln MKX to top

By David Undercoffler Los Angeles Times

With all due respect to your bald neighbor in the sports car, the 2011 Lincoln MKX knows how to deal with a midlife crisis.

Carmakers regularly update a model midway through its life cycle with minor tweaks to the interior, exterior or the engine’s output. Quick fixes like these keep the car relevant while the automaker goes through the considerable cost R E V I E W and time of completely redesigning the model.

Except no one told that to Ford Motor Co. when it went to update the MKX, which is largely based on the more pedestrian Ford Edge.

The company first introduced this luxury crossover in 2007, so the 2011 model was due for an update.

Instead of the traditional midcycle nip and tuck, Lincoln gave the MKX a heart transplant, a life coach and a massive face-lift.

The update vaults the MKX from mediocre also-ran to the top of the segment. Starting at $39,995 and available in front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive for $1,850 more, this Lincoln now splits the difference between sporty competitors such as the BMW X3 and luxurious competitors including the Lexus RX 350.

The Lincoln’s new heart comes in the form of an all-new 3.7-liter V-6. This high-tech ditty puts out 305 horsepower and 280 poundfeet of torque, a bump of 40 horsepower and 30 pound-feet over the outgoing 3.5-liter version. The MKX now moves from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds.

The engine is mated to a sixspeed automatic transmission with a manual mode, though it lacks the paddle shifts seen on Lincoln’s full-size crossover, the MKT. On the road, the engine, and in fact the vehicle as a whole, exhibited refined road manners.

Although the power plant got a

Stiff brakes in the cold likely need flushing, new fluid

McClatchy-Tribune News Service

The redesigned 2011 Lincoln MKX is a stylish, modern crossover SUV that channels the best elements of Lincoln design and masterfully updates them.

2011 Lincoln MKX Base price: $39,995, including destination charge As tested: $50,680 Type: Crossover SUV available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

Engine: 3.7-liter 24-valve V-6 with twin independent variable camshaft timing; six-speed automatic transmission with manual shifting.

Mileage: 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway. little coarse for a luxury crossover when pushed to higher rpm, most drivers won’t push the MKX that hard. Those who do will relish the engine’s sound. Steering falls on the stiff side, but the handling is composed and the ride quality is excellent.

Using arcane technology I won’t bore you with here, Lincoln was able to wring out one mile per gallon in both the city and on the highway over the previous engine.

The EPA rates it at 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway for the FWD model.

In 250 miles of testing, I averaged 17.8 mpg.

Although the new engine is noteworthy, it’s the redesigned front and rear that’s the real attention hog. Lincoln has spent at least a decade fumbling around in the dark for a visual identity, and the

one it’s decided upon looks better on this MKX than on the other three models that have been using it for the past several years.

The brand’s “waterfall grille” gives this crossover a slight avian look, as if you’re staring at a metal and plastic embodiment of a bald eagle. The wide body and bold grille works with the short front and rear overhangs and the optional 20-inch chrome wheels to give the MKX a confident and handsome stance.

Lincoln added the appropriate amount of chrome to dress up the exterior and wisely resisted the urge to throw on tacky embellishments such as faux-engine vents or awkward character lines. This makes the MKX possibly the most stylish and upscale-looking vehicle in the segment.

All MKXs come standard with amenities including a backup camera, wonderful leather seats that are heated and cooled in the front, Ford’s Sync phone and music integration system and a power lift gate. Front, side and canopy airbags and stability control are also standard.

The loaded FWD model I drove (yours for $50,680) added creature comforts such as a navigation system, panoramic sunroof, THX IIcertified audio system and heated rear seats. It also featured a full basket of safety features including adaptive cruise control with collision warning and blind-spot monitoring.

Standard on all MKXs is a system called MyLincoln Touch. A pair of four-inch screens flank the speedometer and work in concert with an 8-inch touch screen at the top of the dash.

Through the touch screen or via steering wheel-mounted buttons for the small screens, drivers can control all interior functions of the vehicle: climate, phone, audio

system and navigation.

But don’t let the touch screen fool you. A navigation system isn’t standard on the $39,995 base model; to get it you have to add the $7,500 package my tester had. Regardless, the MyLincoln Touch worked great and deserves high marks for its shallow learning curve and straightforward setup.

Yet whatever goodwill the system builds through its intuitiveness, the MKX obliterates with a fundamentally flawed setup below the touch screen.

Instead of using traditional knobs or dials for the fan speed and volume, Lincoln uses a horizontal, touch-sensitive bar for each. This patently nonsensical setup is impossible to use while keeping your eyes on the road, and there’s no feedback to give any indication that you’re touching the correct part of the bar.

Otherwise, the 2011 Lincoln MKX is the front-row student that completely throws the curve of midlife updates for vehicles.

I have a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser with 99,000 miles. On cold mornings, the brakes feel hard for the first couple of applications.

After four or five pumps they feel normal and work fine. I don’t believe the brake fluid has ever been changed. What would you recommend?

My maintenance schedule for every vehicle I’ve owned has included bleeding the brake system to exchange 100 percent of the brake fluid every two years. This removes any moisture in the fluid that could lead to corrosion and brake problems.

In subzero temperatures, a very stiff/hard brake pedal upon first start-up can be caused by moisture freezing in the vacuum hose or the check valve supplying engine vacuum to the power brake booster. I suspect this is what you’re experiencing. Flush, clean, dry or replace the hose and valve.

September, a new national memorial will open on the site of the twin towers. The eight-acre park will eventually include an interacegf tive museum honoring the 2,982 people who lost their lives that day and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing—but its curators need your help. “We want to make sure that those who died are remembered as Sara Low, who lost more than just victims of terrorism,” says Amy Weinstein, associate curator her life on 9/11, and her airline wings of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. “Our goal is to show how they lived their lives and what made them special.” The museum is asking anyone with photographs, videos, or mementos of people who died in the attacks to send them in for inclusion. Mike Low of Batesville, Ark., has already heeded the call. His daughter, Sara, was a 28-year-old flight attendant aboard the first plane that struck the World Trade Center. Low donated a photograph of Sara, as well as the one thing his daughter was proudest of—her American Airlines wings. “This tribute is also about the spirit of 9/12,” says Joe Daniels, the memorial’s president, “when the entire world came together to mourn and heal.”

Before you decide which company to use, ask two simple questions: First, does the service monitor all three credit bureaus 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Second, will it notify you in real time? If they say they’ll mail you a letter

every 90 days to let you know if there’s been any suspicious activity, that’s not good enough. The service should cost less than $10 a month.

Because zebras are mean! They’re almost impossible to tame, which means they would be even harder to domesticate—a genetic modification that takes place over many generations. So, as zebras offer no advantages over horses, there’s little reason to even try.

Readers may be surprised to learn that zebras are among the most dangerous animals in our zoos and wildlife parks. Their bite is vicious, and they aim to kill.

Bro h Matt Damon, and Jos

Writer-directors Joel and Ethan Coen knew they needed someone remarkable to play Mattie Ross in True Grit. At the last minute, after a cross-country search, they found their star in newcomer Hailee Steinfeld, an L.A. native who landed the part after three auditions—then earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress her first time out. “That difficult dialogue just flew out of her mouth,” says co-star Bridges. “Each scene with her was a wonderful little adventure.”

Now Steinfeld, 14, daughter of an interior designer and a fitness trainer, is looking forward to her first Academy Awards ceremony tonight (“I don’t know many designers,” she says when asked, several weeks before the

show, what kind of dress she wants to wear.

“As long as it’s fun and really special!”). She’s also rumored to be up for the part of Katniss Everdeen from the best-selling young-adult novel The Hunger Games.

“My parents have always told me, ‘The day you stop loving what you do, you’re not in the right place,’ ” she says. “As long as I’m loving it as much as I am now, I see myself doing this forever.” Steinfeld shares with PARADE some highlights of her awesome journey.

Baby Steps Steinfeld admits she “tried every

sport and never stuck with anything.” So when, at 8, she declared she was interested in acting, her mother insisted she take classes for a year first. “I was like, ‘All right, I’ll do this to show you.’ After that, my mom and I started watching movies. Paper Moon with Tatum O’Neal was one of the first that stood out to me. Her role in that was a bit of my inspiration for True Grit—she was so independent.”

School of Hard Knocks “I was teased really bad,” Steinfeld says about the bullying she endured from third to sixth grade; she’s now homeschooled. “I just happened to be that kid everyone picked on. It’s the worst.” F

It works by making viruses and bacteria self-destruct on the cellular level. Amazingly, for something so powerful, hydrogen peroxide is safe. That’s because after it makes germs self-destruct, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into harmless water.

The Magic of Hydrogen Peroxide book is a valuable health improvement treasure that also shows you how to make tons of household cleaners that work better and more economically than expensive store-bought products.

“I never thought this would happen so fast,” says Steinfeld, with Bridges.

Despite that trauma, she’s not ruling out attending high school (“I think that whatever I do next [in acting] will kind of determine my decision”), and could see putting her career on the back burner for college. “I look at Natalie Portman, and I think it’s so awesome that she took time off and got this amazing education,” Steinfeld says.

Impressing the Big Guns “Hailee

has a great period quality,” says producer Scott Rudin. “She’s a very contemporary girl, but she was able to get the severity of the character naturally and easily.”

Steinfeld also wowed Kim Darby, who starred with John Wayne in the 1969 True Grit. At a screening of the Coens’ film, Darby told Steinfeld she loved it, “which means a lot to me,” says the teenager. And the veteran offered some sage advice: “She looked me in the eye and said, ‘Please, for me, make the right decisions and do the right things. Take your time. God bless you.’ ” A Crash Course in Coen Steinfeld

hadn’t seen many of her codirectors’ movies—“Well, most of them are rated R,” she notes—

but she quickly learned why they’re Oscar darlings. “I was surprised by how easy they made it look,” she says. “And their collaboration as brothers…I have an older brother, and I love him to death, but I could never direct a motion picture with him.” The Coens say she helped make it easy: “She was good initially and stayed good,” Ethan says. Adds Joel: “We never felt we had to make concessions [to her age].”

Dizzy spells? vertigo?

Waking Up to a Dream “I was in

bed and heard my parents cheering in the other room,” she says about the morning she learned of her Oscar nomination. “I’m surprised my phone didn’t blow up from all the text messages.”

Her Good-Luck Charm “Joel gave

me a ring on the last day,” Steinfeld says. “It’s a thin gold band, and it has a purple stone. I wear it every day.” Says Joel, “That was my wife’s [Frances McDormand’s] idea. It was made by a friend who’s a jewelry designer.”

The Downside of Fame Steinfeld

wants you to know that there’s someone pretending to be her on Twitter. “And they’re saying notso-good things,” she says. “I promise it’s not me! I don’t have a Twitter [account].”

But There Are Upsides, Too “I’m

definitely going, ‘Oh my God’ left and right,” she says of the events she’s been attending. “I always get so starstruck. I met [The Social Network’s] Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, and Armie Hammer at a luncheon.

Ahhh! That was a good day.”

costs $41 billion a year, and it’s estimated that one-third of American children—25 million—are overweight or obese.

“My whole idea is to really shake people up, to break through,” Karnazes says of his latest journey. “To do that, you can’t just run a 5K.”

H

is crusade is nothing if not personal. Nearly 20 years ago, Karnazes was plodding along in the San Francisco corporate world, a paunchy former athlete who lacked purpose. Then, in a story he’s recounted many times, he beat back a birthday tequila buzz by running 30 miles overnight in his boxers. Since then, Karnazes has won some of the world’s toughest footraces and attracted a global following with his book Ultramarathon Man. Karnazes still races nearly every weekend—he’s the guy who shouts “Super tremendous!” when people ask him how he’s doing— but winning is no

“Parents come up to me all the time saying, ‘I’m worried about little Johnny—he’s not active, he doesn’t eat well, and he’s chubby.

What can I do?’ And I have to give that parent a hard response,” says Karnazes, who is married to his high school sweetheart and has two kids of his own, 13 and 16. “ ‘Are you active? Do you eat well?

Do you watch your weight?’ This needs to start with the parents saying, ‘Obesity sucks.’ ” Karnazes, like his idol, the late

n 2007 ultra-runner Dean Karnazes was giving a talk at a junior high school in the South when nature called. He headed for the restroom, where he was met by a startling sight: a bucket full of used needles. “I thought, What is that doing in here?”

Karnazes recalls. “So I asked the teacher, and she said, ‘A lot of kids here are insulin-dependent diabetics because of their weight.’ I couldn’t believe it. It was so sad.”

For Karnazes, the best-selling author of three books—his fourth, Run! 26.2 Stories of Blisters and Bliss, hits shelves March 1— moments like those have shaped his life’s mission: to promote better health for all Americans. In 2006 he ran 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 days, and two years later he logged 211 miles over 48 hours on a New York City treadmill— more than eight straight marathons in one room. His latest quest may be his most ambitious yet, and not just because it involves 3,100 miles of running at a pace of 40 to 50 miles a day.

On Friday, Karnazes, 48, was scheduled to embark on a run

One step at a time Karnazes on his way into an Illinois school in 2007 for a speech

Jack LaLanne, sets a singular example in his own life. He runs 340 days a year (averaging 15 miles a day); maintains 3.5% body fat on his 147-pound frame; and eats salads made with salmon, cayenne pepper, grapefruit, broccoli, and sugar-free yogurt—a lifestyle he doesn’t necessarily advocate for others, despite his ambitions for Americans’ health.

Karnazes has set up a foundation, Karno Kids (motto: “No child left inside”), which has gotten tens of thousands of kids up and running in races across the country. He’s also a member of a California task force that helped make state school lunches healthier and that got junk food removed from school vending machines. “Dean doesn’t have to cite statistics,” says California schools superintendent Tom Torlakson.

“He’s much more credible just being himself.”

After this year’s cross-country trek, Karnazes has an even bigger goal queued up for 2012: to run marathons in more than 200 countries.

“Running makes us all human,” he says. “It brings people together in a wonderful way.”

Lasseter acts like a kid who won’t come down from the monkey bars.

Since Disney’s purchase of Pixar in 2006, Lasseter has supervised that fabled studio’s animation slate as well. He tells Steve Daly what keeps him pushing the envelope.

There’s a scene toward the end that powers the emotions for the finale.

It’s when Andy’s mom walks into his empty bedroom. All she does is put her hand to her chest and take a breath. It taps into strong parental feelings. I have five sons, and much of my experience raising them has been put into the story of Woody the cowboy. For instance, I did not anticipate the impact that taking my son Ben to college would have on me. When we drove away, and

Rushdie’s Tips

A Father-Son Favorite For author Salman Rushdie, this dish recalls the deliciously spicy meals of his childhood in India

My son Milan, who is 13, loves Indian food, like his dad, and I can cook it reasonably well if I try. My sister, Sameen, however, is a genius cook, so usually I take the lazy route and go with Milan to eat at her house. She manages to capture the flavors of my mother’s cooking, which we both grew up loving in Bombay (before it was Mumbai). This isn’t easy. If

you asked my mother for a recipe, she’d say, “Well, you take some of this and a bit of that, and you stir it for a while and cook it a little more.” But the meals of our childhood are magical memories—the koftas (meatballs), kormas (rich curries with yogurt), and delicious desserts. Lamb korma is one of Milan’s absolute favorites, and mine as well.

P “Trim all excess

fat first, then cut the meat into medium-size cubes, deboning some pieces and keeping others on the bone.”

Lamb Korma 1½ cups chopped onion 1 cup clarified butter (melted and skimmed of milk solids) 4 to 5 large cardamom pods (available in the spice section) 10 to 12 small cardamom pods 2 lb lamb, cubed 6 to 8 garlic cloves, crushed ½ inch fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated 1½ Tbsp ground coriander 1 tsp red chili powder 1½ tsp salt 8 oz plain yogurt, lightly whisked Pinch of saffron

1. Brown onions in butter until deep golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and pulse in a blender to form a paste. Crush cardamom; mix into paste.

2. Add meat to pan; stir over medium-high. After a few minutes, add garlic, ginger, coriander, chili powder, and salt.

Stir for a couple of minutes. Mix in yogurt. Cover and cook over very low heat, 1 to 1½ hours.

3. About 5 minutes before korma is ready, add onion-cardamom paste and saffron so it can be absorbed by the meat and gravy.

SERVES: 8 PER SERVING: 450 calories,

7g carbs, 25g protein, 36g fat, 550mg sodium, 1g fiber, 120mg cholesterol

P“After 30 minutes,

you may need to add some water.

But if your gravy is too watery, you added too much! Turn the heat up and boil some off. A korma should have a thick sauce.”
