WASHINGTON — The United States began moving warships toward Libya and froze $30 billion in the country’s assets Monday as the administration declared all options on the table in its diplomatic, economic and military campaign to drive Moammar Gadhafi from power.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the administration was conferring with allies about imposing a no-fly zone over Libya. Such a move would likely be carried out only under a mandate from the United Nations or NATO, but Clinton’s confirmation that it was under consideration was clearly intended to ratchet up the pressure on

In what legal experts call an unusual move, the Deschutes County district attorney subpoenaed at least three county employees to appear Monday before a grand jury.

District Attorney Patrick Flaherty ordered employees, including the county attorney and the i n fo r m a t io n technology director, to bring Deschutes to the grand County Disjury informa- trict Attorney tion related to Patrick public records Flaherty is acrequests. cusing county F l a he r t y ’s employees of decision to go violating public to a grand jury records laws. came after a request by The Bulletin last week to see the applications of recently hired employees in the District Attorney’s Office. Some applications contain employees’ driver’s license numbers. The county did not redact the numbers, but later e-mailed The Bulletin to say the numbers are considered “personal information” under state law. On Thursday, Flaherty wrote a letter to The Bulletin in which he accused county employees of breaking the law by releasing the applications.

“The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the entire disclosure of personnel records by Deschutes County was in direct violation of Oregon’s public records law and Deschutes County’s obligation to protect the privacy rights of employees such as Deputy District Attorneys,” Flaherty wrote.

Flaherty fired five prosecutors when he took office on Jan. 3. He has since hired nine employees, including deputy district attorneys, investigators and a management analyst.

According to court records: Thomas Harry Bray, 37, was charged Monday with two counts each of rape and sodomy, along with strangulation and fourthdegree assault. He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday, but that proceeding was delayed because he had been released from Deschutes County Jail after posting 10 percent of his $407,500 bail.

Bray, a licensed physician, was recently hired as a part-time instructor at Central Oregon Community College. He taught one class on anatomy. According to COCC officials, he was in class the Saturday after the incident and has since been placed on administrative leave.

Bray was arrested at his home Saturday. A search warrant chronicles the traumatic experience of a woman who believed she was meeting a doctor for a cocktail and then later feared her life might be in danger.

The woman told police she and Bray met at Tart, a downtown bar on the corner of Minnesota Avenue and Bond Street, about a block from his apartment.

By Matt Richtel New York Times News Service

Throw away the cell phone after two years? Not so fast. Ditch the flat-panel TV for an even thinner model? Maybe next year.

Replace the blouse with the hole?

Darn it!

Consumer spending has picked up, but for some Americans the recession has left something behind: a greater interest in making stuff last.

For a number of products — cars, phones, computers, even shampoo and toothpaste — the data show a slowing of product life cycles and consumption.

In many cases the difference is mere months, but economists and consumers say the approach just may outlast a full recovery and the return of easy credit, because of the strong impression the downturn made on consumers.

It is hardly the stuff of generations past, those stung by the Great Depression, who held onto antediluvian dishware and stored canned goods until rust formed on the lids. But for the moment, many citizens of a throwaway society are making fewer visits to the trash and recycling bins.

In the case of Patti Hauseman of New York, that meant sticking with a 5-year-old Apple computer until it started making odd whirring noises and occasionally malfunctioning. She and her boyfriend bought a new computer for Christmas — actually, a refurbished one.

“A week later, the old one died.

We timed it pretty well,” Hauseman said with a laugh. Her cautious approach applies to other products: She is holding out on upgrading two 7-year-old preflat panel TVs, and has taken to mending clothes rather than replacing them.

Hauseman, 41, a general manager of an independent record label, said this mentality was the product of several factors, including bills that have swelled more quickly than her income.

She said it was not so much that she could not afford new things, but that the last few years of economic turmoil had left her feeling that she could be stealing from her future by throwing away goods that still had value.

“I’ve started upgrading for necessity, not vanity,” she said, adding that to do otherwise “just does feel wasteful.”

Passing fad or lasting shift?

Whether a broad, long-term shift in consumer habits is under

Mary F. Calvert / New York Times News Service

Walt Truelson, a management consultant in Portland, has decided to keep his car until it no longer works and buy cell phone time by the minute instead of with a plan. way is a question tickling economists and analysts. Some insist that, as with the Depression, the recent downturn has made a lingering impression on how people view the propriety of, say, stuffing a still-working cell phone into a desk drawer in favor of a newer model.

But other experts and historians argue that as spending and credit return, so will yearnings to favor brands, fashion and novelty over practicality.

With some products, the upgrade cycle is actually accelerating. According to NPD, a market research firm, consumers in 2010 reported spending more to upgrade major kitchen appliances like refrigerators than they did in 2008 or 2009, when such spending fell. The firm found similar trends at work in smaller kitchen and personal care appliances.

In the case of televisions, upgrades have slowed, but only because so many people snapped up flat-panel sets in recent years.

There is now a lull in the product cycle, but not necessarily in consumer demand.

Tyler Cowen, an economist at George Mason University, said it was simply too soon to tell whether economic recovery would

bring back a more disposable society. “There aren’t enough aggregate statistics since the crash for us to know,” he said.

But in some important categories there are indications of slowed upgrades. Consumers are holding onto new cars for a record 63.9 months, up 4.5 months from a year ago and 14 percent since the end of 2008, according to Polk, a research firm. In fact, the firm said, when used cars are included, the average length of car ownership stands at 52.2 months, also a record.

Cell phones, laptops Industry analysts also report that people on average upgrade their cell phones every 18 months, up from every 16 months just a few years ago. They hold onto their laptops an average of four years and four months, a month longer than they did a year ago, though that figure has been creeping up since 2000.

And consumers are making sure to get the last drop from their household products, said Ali Dibadj, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein who covers big companies like Colgate-Palmolive and Clorox.

“People are squeezing the last bit out of the shampoo.

They seem to be adding more water to really squeeze out the last bit,” Dibadj said, noting financial reports showing frugality with things like razor blades, laundry detergent and toothpaste. “Consumers are doing their best to conserve — we’re seeing it again and again and again.”

Nancy Koehn, a professor at the Harvard Business School and a historian of consumer behavior, said she would bet her boot collection that the change was, if not permanent, at least lasting. She said it stemmed not just from a shaky economy but also from a sense that great institutions — like government and major corporations — might not be reliable saviors in a crisis.

“We’re not going back to a time of our grandmothers’ tales of what they kept and how they used things so carefully. But we’ll see a consistent inching or trudging towards that,” Koehn said. “It’s a glimmer of that, a flickering of it.”

For Walt Truelson, a management consultant in Portland, that has meant a shift in his lifelong love affair with cars, specifically Jaguars.

He typically bought a new or slightly used one every year or two, but has had his current car, a 1999 model in dark green, for four years. “It’s going to stay in my possession as long as it runs,” he said.

Truelson, who declined to give his age, also switched 18 months ago to paying for cell phone minutes as he uses them, rather than subscribing to an expensive monthly plan.

He said the changes reflect in part that his business fell with the economy, but also what he says is a reassessment of the need to constantly have new things: “It’s a question of shifting values.”

In a few cases, consumers who are inclined to discard less are getting some positive reinforcement from an unlikely corner: companies that profit from upgrades.

Levi Strauss is telling customers to take steps that will actually lead them to buy fewer pairs of jeans. The Levi’s sustainability campaign urges customers to wash their jeans less often and in cold water, a move that the company says reduces water use.

“And they absolutely will last longer,” said Michael Kobori, vice president for social and environmental sustainability at Levi’s. He said the message was part of building trust with consumers and emphasizing the durability of the company’s products.

Interactive books meet the interactive age

By Amara Grautski Columbia News Service

NEW YORK — When anthropology instructor Danielle Cook scoured her Kindle for something new to read recently, one choice popped off the digital page. Cook, 27, was struck by “Choice of the Dragon,” a text-based adventure tale that put her into the story.

By making a series of decisions while reading, Cook would ultimately decide the story’s outcome.

“Choice of the Dragon” was an updated-throwback to “Choose Your Own Adventure,” a favorite type of book from Cook’s childhood, one that blurred the line between literature and a game.

Conceived in the late 1960s by Edward Packard after he asked his two daughters to contribute to their own bedtime stories, the books put readers in charge of their own destiny. If a reader wanted the main character to make one choice, she would jump to Page X; but if she wanted to choose a different path, she would jump to Page Y. Eventually, the reader would follow her series of decisions to one of the story’s many possible endings.

Packard joined forces with fellow author Ray Montgomery and the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series was born, selling more than 250 million copies and spawning a rash of imitators before losing steam in the late 1990s.

In 2003, Montgomery formed a new company, Chooseco, to revive the series, and the books are available for $7 to $8. Since then, both originators and others who grew up with the series have tried different ways to adapt the original concept to the digital age.

Chooseco has books available in an app for the iPhone available for 99 cents and in January, New York-based Red Crown Productions announced that it would be translating “Choose Your Own Adventure” for film and TV audiences. Just how it will be done has yet to be revealed.

Others have already made attempts to adapt the ChooseYour-Own concept to video, including the “Choose Your Path” adventures made by a group of Los Angeles filmmakers. The trio known as Chad, Matt & Rob used YouTube to host a series of videos, with each video representing a different choice the viewer has to make about the film’s cast of characters. One adventure titled “The Time Machine” has been watched more than 1.7 million times.

But perhaps the most natural new media home for the old interactive books is the iPad. Packard, who is not affiliated with Chooseco, has teamed up with publisher Simon & Schuster to create UVentures, an iPad application for $3.99 that updates the language of his older Choose Your Own

Adventure books, while adding new interactive features. Now a user can choose to be a male or female character and can digitally bookmark certain choices, and go back and review them along the way.

Pamela Rutledge, the director of the Media Psychology Research Center based in Boston,

believes that new media can push the boundaries even further by incorporating things like social networking. Instead of just creating an app that’s a more interactive version of a book, she wonders, why not let users communicate to see what other people’s choices are?

Publishers look beyond bookstores to help sales

By Stephanie Clifford and Julie Bosman New York Times News Service

Kitson, a group of boutiques based in Los Angeles, is the kind of store that appears regularly in the tabloids for its stylish clothes and its celebrity clientele.

But in a town that is all about flash, Kitson is finding a surprising source of revenue: books.

The company’s owner, Fraser Ross, estimates that Kitson sold 100,000 books in 2010, double what it had the previous year.

Publishers turned aggressive about selling to Kitson, Ross said, as traditional bookstores switched focus or closed. That “has been good for us,” he said.

“If there’s a good book, we’ll go deep into it.” And publishers, he said, “realize what a specialty store can do for their business, with the window and the table.”

Publishers have stocked books in nonbook retailers for decades — a coffee-table book in the home department, a novelty book in Urban Outfitters. In the past year, though, some publishers have increased their efforts as the two largest bookstore chains have changed course.

Barnes & Noble has been devoting more floor space to displays of e-readers, games and educational toys. Borders, after filing for bankruptcy protection this month, has begun liquidating about 200 of its superstores.

“The national bookstore chain has peaked as a sales channel, and the growth is not going to come from there,” said David Steinberger, chief executive of the Perseus Books Group. “But it doesn’t mean that all brickand-mortar retailers are cutting back.”

A wide range of stores better known for apparel, food and fishing reels have been adding books. Fashion designer Marc Jacobs opened Bookmarc in Manhattan in the fall. Anthropologie has increased the number of titles it carries to 125, up from 25 in 2003. Coldwater Creek, Lowe’s, Bass Pro Shops and even Cracker Barrel are adding new books.

Having a physical outlet for books is extraordinarily important, publishers say. While online and e-book sales are huge channels, lesser-known books can get lost if they do not have a physical presence to spur interest. The ability to catch a shopper’s eye in a store is almost impossible to mimic online.

The specialty stores can be a boon for publishers selling quirky titles unlikely to get on Amazon’s home page. “Awkward Family Photos” is a hot item at Urban Outfitters, “Hello, Cupcake” has been selling strongly at the craft store Michaels, and Price Stern Sloan, a Penguin imprint, sold 42,000 copies of “Mad Libs” in January — at Cracker Barrel.

At Kitson, the top sellers hardly mimic the best-seller list, including books like “How to Raise a Jewish Dog.” “We try to be different,” Ross said.

Civil war in Libya?

Gadhafi’s forces again strike back at Libyan rebels

By Kareem Fahim and David D. Kirkpatrick New York Times News Service

BENGHAZI, Libya — Col. Moammar Gadhafi’s forces struck back at his opponents on three fronts Monday, with special operations forces, regular army troops and, rebels said, fighter jets, in an escalation of hostilities that brought Libya a step closer to civil war.

But the rebels dismissed the attacks as ineffectual, and Gadhafi faced a growing international campaign to force him from power, as the Obama administration announced it had seized $30 billion in Libyan assets and the European Union adopted an arms embargo and other sanctions.

As the Pentagon began repositioning Navy warships to sup-

port a possible humanitarian or military intervention, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told the Libyan leader to surrender power “now, without further violence or delay.”

The attacks by the colonel’s troops on an oil refinery in central Libya and on cities on either side of the country unsettled rebel leaders — who have maintained that they are close to liberating the country — and showed that despite defections by the military, the government may still possess powerful assets, including fighter pilots willing to bomb Libyan cities.

Rebel leaders said the attacks smacked of desperation, and the ease with which at least one assault, on the western city of Zawiyah, was repelled raised questions about the ability of the government to muster a serious challenge to the rebels’ growing power.

In an interview with ABC News, Gadhafi said he was fighting against “terrorists,” and he accused the West of seeking to

“occupy Libya.” He gave no hint of surrender.

“My people love me,” he said.

“They would die for me.”

Those unyielding words, and the attacks Monday, were met with both nerves and defiance by rebel military leaders as the two sides seemed to steel themselves for a long battle along shifting and ever more violent front lines.

For days, rebel military leaders in Benghazi have said they were preparing to assemble a force of thousands for a final assault on Tripoli; some of the officials have even promised to send planes to bomb Gadhafi’s fortified compound, Bab al-Aziziya.

But there are few signs that a plan has materialized. A fighter pilot sympathetic to the anti-government protesters, Mohammed Miftah Dinali, expressed some frustration that he had not yet been called on.

“My friends and I are willing to go and do an airstrike on Gadhafi’s compound,” he said.

“I cannot just sit and watch this happen.”

Disarmament pact cuts Gadhafi’s strength

By David E. Sanger New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — In late 2009 the Obama administration was leaning on Col. Moammar Gadhafi and his son Seif to allow the removal from Libya of the remnants of the country’s nuclear weapons program: casks of highly enriched uranium.

Meeting with the U.S. ambassador, Gene Kretz, the younger Gadhafi complained that the United States had retained “an embargo on the purchase of lethal equipment” even though Libya had turned over more than $100 million in bomb-making technol-

ogy in 2003. Libya was “fed up,” he told Kretz, at Washington’s slowness in doling out rewards for Libya’s cooperation, according to cables released by WikiLeaks.

Today, with father and son preparing for a siege of Tripoli, the success of a joint American-British effort to eliminate Libya’s capability to make nuclear and chemical weapons has never, in retrospect, looked more important.

As they discuss sanctions and a possible no-fly zone to neutralize the Libyan air force, senior administration officials and Pentagon planners say the 2003 deal

removed Gadhafi’s biggest trump card: the threat of using a nuclear weapon, or even just selling nuclear material or technology, if he believed it was the only way to save his 42-year rule. While Gadhafi retains a stockpile of mustard gas, it is not clear he has any effective way to deploy it.

“Imagine the possible nightmare if we had failed to remove the Libyan nuclear weapons program and their longer range missile force,” said Robert Joseph, who played a central role in organizing the effort in 2003, in the months just after the invasion of Iraq.

HEALTH CARE LAW

Oil drilling Obama backs early to resume opt-out for states in the Gulf

By John M. Broder and Clifford Krauss New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The Interior Department said Monday that it had approved the first new deepwater drilling permit in the Gulf of Mexico since the BP explosion and spill last spring, a milestone after a period of intense uncertainty for industry and a wholesale remaking of the nation’s system of offshore oil and gas regulation.

Michael Bromwich, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, said that Noble Energy had been granted permission to resume drilling in 6,500 feet of water off the coast of Louisiana.

Work on the well was suspended, along with virtually all other drilling activity in water deeper than 5,000 feet, immediately after the Deepwater Horizon accident last April 20. The disaster killed 11 rig workers and spewed nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the ocean.

Still, there was no indication that drilling in the gulf would return anytime soon to levels preceding the BP well blowout.

Bromwich made clear that each new permit would be closely reviewed on a well-bywell basis.

New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama told the nation’s governors Monday that he was willing to amend his landmark health care law to give states the ability to opt out of its most controversial requirements right from the start, including the mandate that most people buy insurance.

In remarks to the National Governors Association, Obama said he supported legislation

that would allow states to obtain waivers from the mandate as soon as it took effect in 2014, as long as they could find another way to expand coverage without driving up health care costs. Under the current law, states must wait until 2017 to obtain waivers.

The announcement is the first time Obama has called for altering a central component of his signature health care law, although he has backed removing a specific tax provision that both parties regard as onerous on business.

In shadow of 1995 shutdown, GOP freshmen stand firm

By Jennifer Steinhauer New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — The specter of the 1995 government shutdown hangs over Capitol Hill, a memory many hoped to leave behind, along with beepers and episodes of “Baywatch Nights.”

That budget battle has become the central reference point for the fiscal fight that begins in earnest this week. For veteran Republicans, including some of today’s party leaders, being blamed for the shutdown was a searing experience, one they have long endeavored to avoid repeating.

But for some lawmakers in the new Republican freshman class, the circumstances and stakes of a budget showdown are quite different today.

They frame their mission less as a one-term spending fight than as a crusade to redefine the role of the federal government in American life.

Many freshmen believe a government shutdown should — and indeed will — be avoided.

But a far greater failure, many freshmen lawmakers say, would be to capitulate on the only issue many of them ran on.

Amid Wisconsin tumult, some Poll: Most Americans support union rights strive for just a bit of tidiness

By Michael Cooper and Megan Thee-Brenan

By Dan Berry New York Times News Service

MADISON, Wis. — Here was a tall man wearing a Viking helmet and a look that said, Ask me about my Viking helmet. Here was a shirtless man, wearing a beaded skirt and a debutante’s smile. Here was a young woman with her face painted like a cat, and a thin man on his cell phone and his Segway.

In the museumlike halls of the state Capitol, the granite gem of Wisconsin that for two weeks now has served as an elegant sleepover camp for a resilient band of protesters, the indoor street theater was continuing into another Monday morning. People danced, slept or meditated on marble floors, while drumbeats and chants rose into the inverted cup of this landmark’s dome.

Here was a man dressed as Uncle Sam, his mouth taped shut; he was holding a small skull. And here was a man pushing two wheeled garbage cans; he was just working. Emptying the trash baskets. Tossing black bags into a Dumpster outside.

Just working, again, until early in the morning, for an hourly pay of $10 and change.

As the Republican governor, Scott Walker, champions a bill that would weaken public employee unions by taking away most of their collective bargaining rights, protesters have responded by making themselves at home in the Statehouse; the people’s house, they say. All the while, a proud crew of custodians — some union members, some not — have been cleaning around them, adding a concrete presence to the abstract debate.

They include Sue Carney, 42, who has cleaned the Capitol at night for 16 years; she is a member of historic Local 1 of the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees union, and glad for the health benefits. And April Grebe, 27, another union member, who catches only four hours of sleep before she has to drive her two children to school. And Aaron Pazour, 26, who works two jobs and is not a union member but would like to be; he needs the benefits.

Unionized or not, these state workers were united by a fierce sense of obligation to the job: to buff and polish this century-old secular church, this repository of Wisconsin memory. The French walnut furniture in the governor’s conference room. The Senate chamber’s French and Italian

States Continued from A1 In February, Kentucky’s Senate approved a full switch to a 401(k)-type plan, although the bill faces uncertain prospects in the House. In Oklahoma and Kansas, legislative committees will be studying the issue intensively over the next few weeks.

Gov. Sam Brownback of Kansas has made it clear he hopes the state Senate will embrace some form of a 401(k)-type plan. Texas is also considering a switch.

Utah decided to adopt a 401(k)type plan after the stock market plunge in 2008 caused the shortfall in the state’s pension plan to balloon to $6.5 billion.

“We said, ‘OK, how do we prevent this from happening again?’ ” said Dan Liljenquist, a state senator who pushed for the changes. “How do we eliminate the bankruptcy risk for our pension fund?”

Under the new plan, Liljenquist said, the state’s retirement contributions for new workers will be roughly half that for current employees, potentially saving $5 million a year for every 1,000 new workers hired.

Still, these plans — similar to 401(k)s but named after other sections of the tax code — are not being embraced in states with the biggest pension problems like Illinois, California and New Jersey, which have shortfalls so immense that a switch would not solve their problem. Unlike private companies, most states are constitutionally or contractually barred from changing the pension plans of current employees without their consent. So the new rules are generally voluntary or apply only to new employees.

‘No free lunch’ In fact, switching workers to 401(k)-type plans can make the underfunding problem even worse. As contributions move to

Mostly conscientious The custodians said they appreciated the support being expressed for them in their workplace. Occasionally, demonstrators have hassled them (“We’ve had people get into our faces, saying, ‘There’s more important things than cleaning this building,’” Grebe said.). But more often, the conscientious protesters have thanked them for their work.

Still, the custodians find it disconcerting to have their nighttime environment so — crowded; to see the posters and signs covering the replica of the Liberty Bell; to know that the place isn’t being properly cleaned.

“It’s hard for us to leave at night with the building so dirty,” said Grebe, wearing a blue Division of State Facilities T-shirt.

“It feels like we didn’t finish our job.”

Late Sunday afternoon, as government officials gradually withdrew plans to end the overnight stays in the Capitol — only to lock out additional protesters Monday morning — many in the custodial crew gathered below, in the basement, for a mandatory-overtime shift.

Less than half in union Of the two dozen in the crew, less than half are union members, whose starting salary is $11 and change an hour; their nonunion colleagues make less and have nowhere near the range of benefit options. In the struggle between union rights and a

individual investment accounts, less money goes into the traditional plan to help finance pensions promised to other workers.

“There’s no free lunch here,” said Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. “People say, ‘We can reduce our costs here if we have a defined-contribution system.’ Well, if you do this, you still haven’t done anything about your unfunded liabilities.”

California’s problems are so acute that just last week a government-appointed commission of experts urged the state to consider at least a partial switch to 401(k) plans; six years ago, an effort by Arnold Schwarzenegger, then governor, to move new employees into such plans was blocked by local governments and public-employee unions.

The long-term benefits of restructuring pension systems are alluring to many public officials.

The new governors of Florida and Kansas, Rick Scott and Brownback, and lawmakers in North Dakota, Oklahoma, Virginia and several other states are seriously discussing adopting 401(k)-type plans for state employees.

“Every state has to solve this problem or else there’s going to be a very dire consequence,” said Mike Mazzei, a Republican state senator in Oklahoma who heads the Senate select committee on pensions and is backing an overhaul of a system that faces $16 billion in unfunded obligations.

The push to switch to 401(k)type plans comes overwhelmingly from Republicans, who see them as more individualistic and free market. Democrats generally oppose the change, partly because their union allies are eager to keep traditional plans.

Workers given a choice Utah chose to take a hybrid approach to limit taxpayers’ liability and keep money flowing into the old plan.

Starting July 1, new state

state’s fiscal responsibilities, some of the proposed cuts will hit these low-paid people, union and not, the hardest.

Their boss, Cheryl Seiler, 52, was also once a Capitol custodian and union member; she remains partial to the glorious features in the Assembly chambers, and to the rights of workers. She now wears a gray golf shirt to reflect her managerial status, and wishes that negotiations could lead to a smaller, representative group of overnight protesters, and to fewer signs concealing the building’s “ornate beauty.”

“The building does need to be cleaned,” she says.

Addressing her crew, Seiler laid out a mission to clean as much as possible — although she allowed that attaining their usual high standards would be impossible, given the situation above.

You see, the custodians normally work in late-night solitude, the only sounds the hum of their floor-scrubbing machines, the only observers a Capitol police officer or two and that wildmaned La Follette bust. So when the workers went upstairs, this is what the elevator doors opened to: An organic encampment of hundreds. Raucous yet peaceful.

Defiant yet respectful, mostly. In the rotunda, people were taking turns with that most powerful weapon, a microphone, to seize their “I Have a Dream” moment, while various chants, from “The people, united, will never be defeated” to “Solidarity forever,” vied for attention.

A woman rocked in a chair in an area set aside for day care. A lending library, arranged along a marble railing, included union pamphlets and old copies of The

workers will be able to choose either a traditional pension plan or a 401(k)-type plan, with the state contributing 10 percent of an employee’s salary (12 percent for uniformed workers) to whichever plan a worker chooses. But there is an important twist: Utah will never pay more than 10 percent of a new employee’s salary to the pension plan. If the plan becomes too underfunded, employees who have joined the plan will have to pay a percentage of their paycheck to help eliminate the shortfall.

The Utah plan is meant to give workers a choice, said Liljenquist, who became such an expert on pension overhauls during Utah’s debate that lawmakers in other states have sought him out for advice.

“Some state workers who will just work for the state a few years — take, say, bank examiners — I imagine 75 percent of them will choose defined-contribution plans,” he said, referring to 401(k)-type plans. “And I think 90 percent of cops and firefighters and 75 percent of teachers will want a defined-benefit plan because they look at their government jobs as a single career.”

‘Many workers don’t know how to invest’ The National Association of State Retirement Administrators has voiced support for traditional pension plans.

“Defined-contribution plans are a very unreliable vehicle for promoting retirement security,” said Keith Brainard, the association’s research director.

“Many workers don’t know how to invest, many don’t contribute enough to their 401(k)s, and many cash out much of what’s in their 401(k) long before they retire, leaving them too little to live on when they retire.”

Brainard said it would be wiser for states to ask employees to contribute more toward underfunded plans than to switch to

New Yorker. When food arrived, there formed an orderly line worthy of a university cafeteria.

Myriad signs and banners covered nearly every inch of wall space — from rants against the Tea Party to reminders to finish one bag of bread before opening another one. But one sign caused more consternation than most: It said “Unisex,” and it kept appearing on the door of a women’s bathroom.

Some people dozed in sleeping bags on the gritty, even slippery, floors. Others meditated, with eyes closed, beside a drummers’ jam session. Here came that would-be Viking again, passing that scary Uncle Sam.

Doing what they can The custodians entered this new Capitol world, but only at its periphery. They swept where they could, mopped where they could, collected garbage when they could.

Here was Latisha Johnson, 25, a single mother who began making a dollar more an hour when she joined the union three years ago. She made a point of saying how proud she felt when she hears tourists remark how clean the Capitol is — normally.

Here was Carrie Peterson, 22, another union member, who often helps to clean the governor’s office. When her night shift ends, she comes home to a 3-year-old son, sleeping, and a boyfriend, leaving for his union job as a cook at a state facility for people with developmental disabilities.

Here was Grebe, another union member, who expressed again her unease at not being able to do her job, which is to clean. For example, that sleeping bag a few feet from where she stood: It does not belong.

And, finally, here was Pazour, not in the union but wishes he were — because, he says, he’d like to have someone behind him. Listening to rock music on the headset over his Green Bay Packers knit hat, he wheeled his garbage cans down grimy hallways that he would normally be soft-scrubbing to a shine.

He turned right, found some more trash, and piled it into one of his rolling cans. Then he wheeled his two barrels to the elevator, took them down a couple of floors and out to a Dumpster containing an ever-growing mound of debris. Democracy, after all, has always been messy.

401(k)-type plans. And in fact, some states have shored up their pension plans by requiring employees to pitch in more of their salary.

Despite the cautions, Bette Grande, a Republican state representative in North Dakota, vowed to continue pushing for 401(k)-type plans. Grande sponsored a bill to switch new employees entirely to such plans, but it was blocked by the House on Feb. 18.

“I think it’s condescending to say that workers aren’t wise enough to manage their own investments,” said Grande, who said she would push to revive the bill. “I refuse to think I’m going to have a bunch of teachers on welfare.”

As labor battles erupt in state capitals, a majority of Americans say they oppose efforts to weaken the collective bargaining rights of public employee unions and are also against cutting the pay or benefits of public workers to reduce state budget deficits, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Labor unions are not exactly popular, though: A third of those surveyed viewed them favorably, a quarter viewed them unfavorably and the rest said they were either undecided or had not heard enough about them. But the nationwide poll found that embattled public employee unions have

the support of most Americans — and most independents — as they fight the efforts of newly elected Republican governors in Wisconsin and Ohio to weaken their bargaining powers, and the attempts of governors from both parties to cut their pay or benefits.

Americans oppose weakening the bargaining rights of public employee unions by a margin of nearly two to one: 60 percent to 33 percent. While a slim majority of Republicans favored taking away some bargaining rights, they were outnumbered by large majorities of Democrats and independents who said they opposed weakening them. Those surveyed said they opposed, 56 percent to 37 percent, cutting the pay or benefits of public employees to reduce deficits, breaking down along similar party lines.

Continued from A1 He added that “if the Legislature changes the statutes, ODOT will adapt accordingly.”

One bill, SB 819, would keep an agency that has been subjected to a lawsuit for damages from filing a lien on the property in question. The bill is intended to persuade ODOT to drop a lien it placed on the Harris property in 2008 after Harris sued the department.

Harris says the lien forced his land company into bankruptcy by blocking him from selling the property.

“They tied up my property,” Harris said. “I couldn’t mortgage it, I couldn’t sell it, I couldn’t develop it. ... The reason for introducing the bill was to get their attention so they’ll take the lien off the property.”

Morse also is introducing another bill, SB 672, to block ODOT and its governing body, the Oregon Transportation Commission, from adopting or enforcing rules that would limit development on private land to protect future transportation uses.

The bill is intended to address the case of Vic Mitchell, an Albany man who can’t make any improvements to his land because of an overlay intended to prevent development so ODOT can buy his land in the future. The overlay killed one deal he had in place to sell his property — four acres with an office building north of Albany — and scared away other prospective buyers.

“They told me it could be 20 or 30 years before they buy,” Mitchell said of ODOT. “That’s my retirement.”

Morse said the way ODOT is treating Mitchell is wrong.

“People should not be expected to own their land in public

Legislators debate the pros and cons of enterprise zone extensions. trust. If ODOT is planning on using the land, then they ought to buy it.”

Late last year, ODOT officials said cases like those of Mitchell and Harris were relatively rare.

Dee Jones, the manager who oversees ODOT’s condemnation work, said the agency handles an average of 350 condemnation cases each year.

“It’s amazing how many people take the time to write out how well they were treated and how much they enjoyed working with the agency, and about 85 percent (of the surveys) are very, very good,” Jones said. “We’re always going to get folks who aren’t happy — but, 85 percent, I’ll stand behind that.”

In the Harris case, ODOT offered him less than $700,000 for his land although his own appraiser — and an ODOT consultant — had both valued the land at $4 million.

The Bulletin also found other cases where ODOT tactics proved costly.

In one recent case, ODOT ignored a promise of access to a Redmond business owner, eventually leading the department to buy the land for $600,000. In another case, a Redmond couple won a $275,000 verdict after refusing ODOT’s $50,000 offer for their property.

KIDNAPPINGS IN MEXICO

Ex-cons offer primers for Private firms take on abduction cases execs on their way to prison

By Nick Miroff

The Washington Post

By Lisa Black Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — When Michelle Menard realized her boyfriend was facing five years of incarceration for wire fraud, she turned to the Internet. “Get out of federal prison,” she typed.

She found help from an unusual source: ex-convict Patrick Boyce who offers non-legal advice as a prison consultant — or as he puts it, a “federal mitigation specialist.”

“I get super nervous,” said Menard, 35, who earns a modest income cleaning houses. “I read things online and think, ‘Oh my God, he’s in there with a bunch of criminals.’ (Boyce) is very supportive, like a girlfriend who knows everything.”

Boyce, 41, founder of Federal Prison Alternatives in Columbus, Ohio, is one of a handful of consultants nationwide who gear their services toward a whitecollar population that includes mortgage fraudsters, tax evaders and Ponzi-schemers. He cites experience “as the best teacher,” and points to his own 27-month prison term for conspiracy to commit fraud.

The cottage industry is dominated by ex-offenders, retired jailhouse employees and advocates who support prison alternatives. High-profile cases during the ’80s and ’90s, including the prosecutions of corporate raider Ivan Boesky and former junk bond financier Michael Milken — both of whom used a prison consultant — have helped heighten awareness.

Some criminal defense attorneys remain skeptical, and question whether the consultants can deliver what they promise. But today’s economic downtown has provided no shortage of work.

John Webster, a former attorney who served time in federal

Rape Continued from A1 The woman had one drink — a lemon drop martini — before Bray invited her back to his home. There, Bray opened a bottle of white wine he had taken from his car and began pouring drinks for the two of them.

He continued to urge the woman to drink and had started pouring some of his own wine into her glass. She also noticed he had switched their glasses earlier in the evening.

After two glasses of wine, the woman told police she began feeling “fuzzy” and felt “very drunk.” Her next memory is of Bray throwing her onto his bed and ripping off her clothes.

It was on the bed where the 6-foot, 185-pound Bray began holding the woman down and choking her until she lost consciousness. She told the investigating officers she didn’t think she was awake the whole time.

Bray then began having sex with the woman, hitting her in the head and spitting in her face while he called her “stupid” and “whore,” she recalled to authorities.

When he was done, he put on a robe and went to his kitchen for a bowl of cereal. The woman’s cell phone and car keys were on the kitchen counter, and she told police she was afraid to leave because she believed Bray would kill her if she tried.

While Bray was eating his cereal, he began making fun of the woman, and asked her if she wanted him to invite a neighbor over so they could have a “three way.” The name calling continued.

“Are you going to call me after this?” he asked.

The documents go on to say she told investigators that once he was

Subpoenas Continued from A1 Flaherty did not return calls for comment Monday.

Experts on media law and Oregon public records law said Monday it is unusual for prosecutors to seek criminal indictments against public employees for releasing such records.

“So far as I know — and I have been doing public records cases for 35 years now — no district attorney has ever contended it was a criminal offense for a public agency to mistakenly reveal or release public records,” said Charlie Hinkle, a Portland attorney who specializes in media law.

“It sounds very unusual to me.”

Michelle Menard, 35, was horrified when her live-in boyfriend and father of their 8-year-old son was convicted of wire fraud and sentenced to 60 months in federal prison. She found help through Patrick Boyce, founder of Federal Prison Alternatives, a consulting company that helps prepare families for incarceration. prison after lying for a client, started the Nashville-based National Prison and Sentencing Consultants in 2002. At first, few people had heard of his industry.

“Now it’s gotten to where a lot of people see the need and the benefit,” he said. “With the meltdown of the real estate industry, we had a lot more mortgage brokers who were getting indicted.”

He charges $3,500 to $10,000 for prison coaching.

Some consultants are flashy, like ex-convict Larry Levine, whose Los Angeles-based operation asks on its website: “Going from the Exchange Floor to the Prison Yard?” Levine’s clients include a former Highland Park, Ill., couple, Robert and Virginia Carter, convicted in a $17 million embezzlement and money laundering case, according to news reports and Levine himself.

At the other end of the spectrum is Baltimore-based social worker

Herbert Hoelter, who founded the nonprofit National Center on Institutions and Alternatives in 1977.

Bernard Madoff turned to him for help when he pleaded guilty in 2009 to one of the biggest Ponzi schemes in history, Hoelter said.

“He knew he was going to get a life sentence and he asked what could he do with the rest of his life,” Hoelter said. “I said to participate in as many programs as you can. Find ways to help people who, believe it or not, are less fortunate than you.”

Over the past two decades, federal officials have ratcheted up the penalties for economic misdeeds, most recently in response to highprofile corporate crimes, such as the collapse of Enron Corp. The harsher sentencing guidelines have resulted in overcrowded prisons and added incentive for defendants to seek help in navigating the complex legal system, criminal defense attorneys say.

done with his cereal, Bray went back to the bed where she was, grabbed her by the hair and tried forcing her to drink more wine. A clump of her hair was ripped out.

He forced her to commit more sexual acts, she told police, while he continued to strike her in the head and face. Bray then raped her again. When done, he made her use a bath towel to clean up, and then ordered her to make his bed while he watched.

After Bray fell asleep, the woman told police she gathered her belongings and was heading out of his house when Bray stopped her to ask what she was doing.

She told him that he hurt her, at which point he apologized and said, “I probably owe you a shirt.

You can borrow one if you want.”

The woman didn’t call the police until the following morning after she sent a text message to a friend saying she might have been raped, the documents state.

It was her friend who urged her to do so, and when the woman saw Bray’s smiling photo in a police lineup she began to cry.

Police collected a number of items from Bray’s apartment, including lubricant and black duct tape from a bedside table, wine glasses, CDs, a computer and several bottles of prescription medication.

The prescription pills included medication for pain relief, like Tramadol and Roxicodone; antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections; the anti-anxiety drug Lorazepam; and the antidepressant Brupopion, which can also be used to help quit smoking. A couple of pill bottles had different names on them, including John Bray and Robert Bray. At least one had a woman’s name on it.

Police also collected DNA, blood and pubic hair samples from Bray.

The woman was treated at St. Charles Bend for non-life-threat-

ening injuries. In a police report, a nurse told authorities that it seemed like the woman had to be “hit and slapped a lot” and had developed redness and bruising on her face, neck and shoulder, along with other injuries.

According to information contained in the search warrant, Bray had what was described as a “minimal” criminal history that includes arrests in California in 1993 and 1994 for forgery and threatening a crime with the intent to terrorize.

National Crime Information Center records also show that Bray was under a protection order and was supposed to avoid contact with a California woman and any children she might have.

Those documents also state he is not allowed to possess a firearm under federal law.

Bray’s application to COCC shows he went to high school in Ojai, Calif. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley, with a major in Spanish language and literature. He went to medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and performed his residency at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. He specialized in anesthesiology.

Bray could not be reached for comment. A cell phone he was using as recently as Friday was disconnected, and an attempt to reach him at his Franklin Crossing apartment was unsuccessful.

Authorities are asking that anyone who has had suspicious encounters with Bray to report them by calling Bend Police at 541-322-2960 or the Deschutes County 911 nonemergency line at 541-693-6911.

versity of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, said some information on driver’s licenses has been exempted from public records law.

“That in itself doesn’t create a criminal liability for the release of the information,” said Gleason, who is also on the board of directors for the open government nonprofit Open Oregon.

Three subpoenaed Deschutes County Legal Counsel Mark Pilliod was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury at 11 a.m. Monday.

CHULA VISTA, Calif. — As kidnappings soar in Mexico, U.S. companies and well-to-do Mexican families are turning to private American firms to rescue their employees and loved ones from brutal criminal gangs.

The U.S.-based companies that specialize in resolving kidnappings say they now handle far more cases in Mexico than anywhere else in the world. The companies claim near-perfect victim recovery rates, using former FBI and CIA agents as consultants and charging clients thousands of dollars a day for their services.

But because the abductions occur in Mexico, the American firms are not required to report their cases to U.S. law enforcement agencies, even though the companies and families involved are increasingly located in the United States.

As a result, the boom in crossborder extortion rackets is occurring almost entirely in the shadows, as families and businesses opt to hire private firms and the crimes go unreported in both countries.

The abysmally low level of public trust in Mexican police has driven demand for the private American firms. But U.S. federal and local law enforce-

ment officials say the growth in ransom negotiation services diminishes their ability to gather essential data on the criminal networks.

“I think we should be very concerned that families in our communities are being victimized and that U.S. law enforcement has a limited capacity to track how often it’s happening,” said Capt. Leonard Miranda, who retired last year as a police commander in this border city of 230,000 wedged between San Diego and Tijuana.

In one instance, Miranda said, one of his officers got a 3 a.m. call from a physician at a local hospital, reporting that a man had arrived at the emergency room with two human fingers in a bag. The man identified himself as a kidnapping consultant and said the severed digits had been sent to his client, whose brother was being held for ransom in Tijuana.

The fingers could not be saved for re-attachment, doctors told the consultant, and when police officers asked him for more information, he ceased to cooperate, telling them it was a private matter. Because the crime and the victim were both in Mexico, “there wasn’t much we could do with the incident,” Miranda said.

“It is a big concern for us,”

said San Diego FBI supervisor David Bowdich, who oversees 100 agents and officers along California’s border with Mexico. “You may have a private company working a ransom negotiation for one victim, but it may be a kidnapping cell that did it, and the cell doesn’t just kidnap one person. There may be multiple cases.”

“We need to know about that, and everything associated with the crime. I want to know who ordered it, who financed it, what their motivations are, so we can disrupt and dismantle that cell.”

Private consultants say six to 10 high-end U.S. firms offer kidnapping resolution and ransom negotiation services, often as part of broader “risk management” contracts sought by wealthy individuals and transnational companies.

Some of the firms are highly professional and generally cooperative with U.S. law enforcement, Bowdich and others say.

But the companies tend to maneuver as discreetly as possible in Mexico, usually avoiding contact with authorities who may not be trustworthy.

According to a recent Mexican congressional report, kidnappings have increased 317 percent in the country since 2005, and some 75 percent of abductions go unreported.

Latest Arkansas quake is most powerful in 35 years

By Campbell Robertson New York Times News Service

A 4.7 magnitude earthquake that researchers described as the largest in Arkansas in 35 years was recorded late Sunday near Greenbrier. The quake was the latest in a swarm of quakes that has bedeviled the region since early in the fall.

There were no reports of major damage, although some residents spoke of dislodged screen doors, cracked ceilings and a few fallen objects. Damage or not, some said this was the longestlasting and scariest quake yet.

“It felt like a real loud thunder but like 10 times worse than that,” said Kim Bannister, 34, who lives in a mobile home just outside Greenbrier and who, like most everyone in the region, has become somewhat accustomed to earthquakes.

“I have felt some of them, but nothing like last night.”

The swarm in central Arkansas has brought dozens of rumblings each week that are beyond 2.0 magnitude. The situation has garnered national attention because of natural gas drilling operations in the area.

Researchers with the Arkansas Geological Survey have pointed out spatial and temporal relationships between the earthquakes and the use of injection wells, which are used to dispose of the wastewater left over from gas drilling.

While that possible connection is being studied, the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission has imposed an emergency moratorium on the drilling of injection wells in the area.

Wells that were active before the moratorium, which began in December, remain in use.

Gadhafi Continued from A1 “No option is off the table,” she said, adding, “that, of course, includes a no-fly zone.”

But officials in Washington and elsewhere said direct military action remained unlikely, and that the moves were designed as much as anything as a warning to Gadhafi and a show of support to the protesters seeking to overthrow his government.

Speaking in Geneva, Clinton said the United States was sending two teams of aid workers to Libyan border regions with Tunisia and Egypt, where tens of thousands of refugees are massing in a desperate flight from Libya’s strife-torn cities. The administration has set aside $10 million for emergency relief.

Military moves closer As part of a potential military role in the humanitarian effort, Pentagon officials said military aircraft and ships were being ordered to move into position closer to the Libyan coast. The Navy has an aircraft carrier strike group — with ample planes and helicopters — and an amphibious landing vessel, with Marines and helicopters, in the nearby Red Sea. “As part of our contingency planning to provide the president flexibility on a full range of options regarding Libya, we are repositioning forces in the region,” said Col. David Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman.

The coordinated statements were part of a rapidly accelerating Western response to the bloody clashes between rebels and loyalists of Gadhafi. Administration officials said they were held back until Friday because of fears that the Libyan government might take its diplomats and other Americans there hostage.

Now, with most Americans safely out of the country, senior administration officials are demanding Gadhafi’s immediate resignation and ridiculing his claims that he enjoys the support of his people. Working with European allies, the administration has rolled out a battery of measures to seek to peel away senior officials and military commanders who remain loyal to the Libyan strongman.

In addition to a no-fly zone, designed to prevent the Libyan air force from attacking its citizens, options under review include using military transports to deliver food and medicine, or evacuating Libyans who want to leave the country.

But there are clear risks to involving the military, officials said, especially if the effort is led by the United States.

Privately, American officials said any U.S. military presence could undermine the legitimacy of the Libyan revolt as an internal, grass-roots movement.

Gadhafi supporters — and even those across the Arab world who do not like the dictator — could denounce American action as being only about oil.

A NATO operation could produce a similar backlash, given the bitter residue of European colonialism in North Africa. In meetings at NATO and the United Nations, European officials have resisted military action, officials said.

“Should NATO get involved in a civil war to the south of the Mediterranean?” said Prime Minister Francois Fillon of France. “It is a question that at least merits some reflection before being launched.”

Egypt’s foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, said his country would not endorse any foreign military intervention. An Egyptian official noted that the use of Egyptian forces was wholly a decision for the military, which controls the country.

Indeed, there is an element of gunboat diplomacy to the talk of military action. Besides reassuring protesters, a senior American official said, the naval vessels and warplanes could be used as a show of force to embolden members of Gadhafi’s military to turn on him. The announcement of U.S. military planning could have an impact even without carrying out any operations, the official said.

$30 billion blocked The Treasury Department’s move against Gadhafi’s wealth was more concrete. Hours after President Barack Obama signed an executive order Friday freezing assets belonging to the Gadhafi family and other Libyan government entities, an unspecified number of U.S. financial institutions cut off access to about $30 billion, including Libya’s oilenriched sovereign wealth funds.

“This is the largest blocking under any sanctions program ever,” said David Cohen, the acting undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence.

The $30 billion is separate from

Libyan government money being blocked by European countries and banks under separate orders, he said, and it speaks to the vast holdings Gadhafi acquired in more than four decades in power.

Britain and Switzerland had already frozen Libyan assets, and the European Union announced further sanctions Monday, including an embargo on the sales of arms and police equipment, and a visa ban for Libyan officials.

Those measures go beyond the sanctions passed by the United Nations on Saturday, though the Security Council also referred Gadhafi to the International Criminal Court for an investigation into possible war crimes.

In Washington, Obama met with the U.N. secretary-general, Ban Ki-moon, to reinforce the

C OV ER S T ORY sense of international consensus.

Afterward, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, delivered a blistering denunciation of Gadhafi from the White House briefing room.

Citing an interview the Libyan leader gave Monday to Christiane Amanpour of ABC News and others, Rice said, “When he can laugh in talking to American and international journalists while he is slaughtering his own people, it only underscores how unfit he is to lead and how disconnected he is from reality.”

Pentagon officials said the United States would seek an international mandate for action, most likely from the United Nations or NATO. There is no appetite for assigning ground troops to any mission, officials said.

A Libyan boy sits in front of graffiti depicting Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, in Benghazi, Libya, on Monday. The U.S. pressed its European allies to set sanctions on the Libyan government, while doubts emerged about the feasibility of a no-fly zone to prevent Gadhafi’s regime from launching aerial attacks against protesters.

With a toddler on the verge of walking, a busy work schedule and the holidays approaching, the last thing Shannon Miller really had time for was her annual checkup. Maybe, she thought, she’d cancel it, reschedule it once things calmed down.

Besides, at 33, she felt perfectly fine, and was as fit as she was 15 years ago when she won two gold medals at the Atlanta Olympics.

“We think we’re invincible,” the gymnast said. “That we have too much on our plate so it can wait.”

It can’t.

During that annual exam, doctors discovered a cyst on Miller’s ovary that turned out to be a germ cell malignancy. The tumor is not the same as what most people think of as ovarian cancer, one of the deadliest forms of the disease. Germ cell malignancies are rare, and generally occur in teenagers and women under 30.

But the effects could have been just as devastating.

By catching it early, however, Miller has the best possible prognosis. She is cancer-free after doctors removed the baseball-sized tumor last month and is opting to do nine weeks of preventive chemotherapy that will improve her cure rate to 99 percent. She begins treatment Monday.

Now, Miller hopes sharing her story will encourage other women to make their health a priority.

MLB’s Steroids Era going to trial with Bonds and Clemens

By Ronald Blum The Associated Press

NEW YORK — They stood as pillars of baseball for much of their careers. Now, they are about to stand trial.

Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, baseball’s biggest stars implicated in steroids use, will face juries on opposite ends of the country.

“They’re almost bookended,” broadcaster Bob Costas said. “Seven MVPs. Seven Cy Youngs. The greatest pitcher. Certainly greatest player.”

Bonds is scheduled for trial in U.S. District Court in San Francisco Barry Bonds starting March 21 on four counts of making false statements to a grand jury and one count of obstruction of justice.

Clemens is set to be judged in federal court in Washington, D.C., starting July 6 on three counts of making false statements, two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of Congress.

Roger While baseball Commissioner Clemens Bud Selig would like to put steroids behind his sport, baseball can’t escape the shadow of performance-enhancing drugs until it gets past the trials, which would lead many to conclude the most outstanding players of their age were chemically enhanced.

S B Wrestling • Beavers finish second at Pac-10 Championships: Colby Covington repeated as Pacific-10 Conference champion at 174 pounds and Clayton Jack claimed the first of his career at heavyweight to highlight Oregon State’s wrestling’s night at the Pac-10 Championships Sunday at Gill Coliseum. As a team, the Beavers finished second, tallying 137.50 points, behind only Boise State’s championship-winning 147 points. Oregon State also will send six wrestlers with qualifying marks to the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia in late March. Wrestlers who earned qualifying marks include Jason Lara at 125, Garrett Drucker at 133, Scott Sakaguchi at 149, Covington at 174, Chad Hanke at 184 and Jack at heavyweight.

Baseball • OSU beats UT-San Antonio in 10 innings: Late-inning hitting heroics from Danny Hayes and Carter Bell propelled the Oregon State baseball team to a 10-7, 10-inning victory over UT-San Antonio Monday at Wolff Municipal Stadium in San Antonio. Hayes led the late-inning barrage with a threerun home run to right in the ninth, pushing the Beavers to a 6-5 lead that was eventually extended to 7-5. The Roadrunners fought back to a 7-7 tie, forcing extra innings and setting the stage for Bell. The junior pinch hit for Kavin Keyes with two outs and the bases loaded in the top of the 10th. Bell hit a 2-2 pitch from reliever Blake Denman to center for a double, clearing the bases and giving OSU the 10-7 win.

Football • Critical week on NFL labor scene: This is the week hardly anyone expected to actually arrive: deadline time for the NFL and its players’ union. The collective bargaining agreement expires Thursday night, and the owners could lock out the players. Even before that, though, the Players Association is likely to decertify to prevent a lockout and take its chances in court. Both sides will resume meeting with a federal mediator Tuesday and probably Wednesday in Washington; seven recent sessions brought little progress. The 32 team owners have meetings Wednesday and Thursday in nearby Chantilly, Va., where they will be briefed on the status of negotiations before deciding on the next step.

Basketball • Mike Bibby gives up $6.2 million in buyout with Wizards: Mike Bibby gave up $6.2 million rather than stay with the last-place Washington Wizards. The veteran guard reached a buyout agreement with the Wizards on Monday, beating by one day a deadline that will allow him to sign with another team in time to be eligible for a playoff roster. Bibby played only two games with Washington after he was acquired last week in the five-player trade that sent Kirk Hinrich to the Atlanta Hawks. He will receive the remainder of his $5.6 million salary for this season, but he gave up his entire amount of the final season of his contract for his freedom.

Skiing • U.S. men finish fourth in team event at nordic worlds: Marit Bjoergen of Norway captured her third gold medal at the nordic world championships on Monday in Oslo, Norway, before thousands of flag-waving fans, and the U.S. men finished fourth in the combined team event won by Austria. The American team featured Olympic champion Billy Demong and two-time world champion Todd Lodwick and was 54.8 seconds behind the winners. The U.S. was second fastest in the relay but was unable to make up a 1:08 deficit after the ski jump. Austria was led by Mario Stecher, who beat Tino Edelmann of Germany in a sprint finish.

Blackhawks beat Wild to send win streak to five The Associated Press ST. PAUL, Minn. — After enduring some rough patches, the Chicago Blackhawks have finally begun to play as if they’re not ready to relinquish their title.

Jonathan Toews, naturally, is leading the charge.

Toews and Patrick Sharp each scored in the second period, and the defending champion Blackhawks stretched their winning streak to a season-high five games with a 4-2 win over the

NHL ROUNDUP Minnesota Wild on Monday night.

“We don’t even feel like we’re on a hot streak right now,” Toews insisted. “We’re taking it one game at a time, and every time we come up with two points — whether it’s a shootout win or an even-strength win by a couple goals. It doesn’t matter how we get it.”

Tomas Kopecky also scored in the second,

Marian Hossa sealed the game with a shorthanded goal with 1:52 left, and the surging Blackhawks crept a little bit closer to last year’s Stanley Cup form.

By Brian Mahoney The Associated Press

That Big Three in Miami is already becoming old news, giving way to another trio that can reshape the league.

The Melodrama finally ended last week and immediately kicked off an apparent Deronathon — the long journey until Deron Williams can become a free agent.

Dwight Howard and Chris Paul join him as the potential headliners of the 2012 class. Even before Anthony was traded to New York and Williams was dealt to New Jersey the next day, the three All-Stars were already facing questions about their plans.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

Kansas State tops No. 7 Texas The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — Kansas State is surging at the right time.

Texas, the team that two weeks ago looked unstoppable in the Big 12, is slipping at precisely the wrong one.

Rodney McGruder scored 22 points, Jacob Pullen scored 20 and Kansas State muscled past No. 7 Texas 75-70 on Monday night, the Wildcats’ fifth straight win and first on the road over a Top Ten team since 1994.

Pullen exemplified the tough, physical nature of the game, scoring 16 points in the second half despite falling hard on his right wrist as Kansas State (219, 9-6 Big 12) sent the Longhorns to their second straight loss and third in four games.

“Everybody wrote us off. They cast our season down the drain,” Pullen said of the Wildcats’ 1-4 start in the conference. “People say we’re a good team again

but we can’t let things like that get into our locker room and we can’t let down our guard. Our morale is to the sky.”

Texas is heading in the opposite direction.

An 11-0 start in conference play had the Longhorns among the top contenders for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Now they’re trying to regroup and not worry about how far they may fall.

“We’re better than what we’re playing and that’s the concern,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said.

“You’ve got to stay disciplined with what you do. Kansas State did exactly what we thought they’d do and that was try to push us out of our offense.”

Texas (24-6, 12-3) met its defensive match against the Wildcats, who held the Longhorns to 34 percent shooting. Freshman Tristan Thompson scored 26 points for the Longhorns, but

“I would not want to go through it again and the only advice I could give them is just stay strong, just keep playing basketball,” Bosh said. “As much as you can, don’t let it affect you and just be prepared for anything that comes out there.

“People are going to say, ‘Oh, he’s checked out, he’s not paying attention, he’s given up on his team.’ They’re going to try to find some kind of way to just throw you off your game. You just have to just stay the trail, keep practicing, keep working and just be prepared to talk about it every time you speak with the media.”

The on-deck free agents say they learned from watching their predecessors, but their situations will bring new challenges — perhaps even questions about franchise tags, which owners may push for as way to keep this trio from leaving.

“I would just tell them make statements about it, talk about it early,” Wade said. “But once it gets into the season, leave it alone, because you can’t control it. You don’t want it to get too crazy where it’s not about the team, it’s all about you and what you’re going to do. So leave it alone after November.”

his teammates shot just 14 of 54 from the field. Kansas State shot 50 percent two days after Texas gave up a 22-point lead and let Colorado shoot 53 percent in a road loss.

Curtis Kelly scored 15 points for Kansas State, doing much of his damage in the first half when Pullen was struggling to score.

McGruder was four of six on three-pointers.

“They pressured us as well, but we just missed our shots,” Texas guard Cory Joseph said.

Also on Monday: No. 8 Notre Dame . . . . . . . . . . . 93 No. 19 Villanova . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Tim Abromaitis made a career-high nine three-pointers and scored 30 points and Ben Hansbrough had 30 points and 10 assists in his final home game as Notre Dame routed Villanova to secure a double bye in the Big East tournament.

Celtics hand Jazz sixth straight loss at home The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Ray Allen scored 25 points and Paul Pierce added 21, including a late three-pointer and a pair of free throws, to help the Boston Celtics hold on for a 107-102 victory Monday night over the Utah Jazz.

The loss spoiled the home debut of new Jazz players Devin Harris and Derrick Favors, who were acquired last week in the trade that sent for All-Star Deron Williams to New Jersey.

Al Jefferson had 28 points and a season-high 19 rebounds for Utah, which has dropped six straight at home — the team’s worst home skid since 1982.

Allen hit a 23-footer for a 10399 Celtics lead with 42.3 seconds left. Jefferson had a chance to cut it to one point but couldn’t convert a three-point play.

Rajon Rondo then hit a 15foot jumper to seal the win for Boston.

Harris finished with 19 points for the Jazz, who have lost 16 of 21, and Favors added nine points, four rebounds and a block in 15 minutes.

The win gave the Celtics a series sweep after they routed the Jazz 110-86 on Jan. 21, shooting 55.2 percent in the process. In that game, Williams had only five points for Utah.

The fans welcomed Harris with open arms, chasing after him on Sunday as he visited a local outdoor mall, and giving him the loudest ovation of any Jazz player during pre-game introductions Monday.

The home crowd also got their first close look at rookie Favors.

“Hey, D-Will, thanks for the Favors,” read one sign in the

Though the Jazz would erase a 13-point first-half deficit, they couldn’t hold off the Celtics down the stretch.

The Jazz, who are 1-2 since the Williams trade, jumped out to a 10-2 lead on four-of-five shooting.

But the Celtics answered with a 12-0 run to take a 14-10 lead and followed with a 13-0 run and led 30-21 after the first quarter.

Allen started the Celtics on their roll by hitting three of three from beyond the arc in the first quarter, while the Jazz shot just 36.8 percent as a team.

The Jazz fought back. Down 42-31 after Pierce’s three-pointer, Utah outscored the Celtics 154, capped by Harris’ fastbreak layup to tie the score at 46 with 3:19 left in the half.

Andrei Kirilenko’s spinning layup started Utah’s secondquarter run, and Paul Millsap added a pair of short jumpers.

But it was defense that helped Utah get back in the game in the second quarter. The Jazz forced the Celtics into a pair of threesecond violations, and held Boston to 38.8 percent shooting.

Jefferson had a double-double by halftime (18 points, 10 rebounds). He entered the game averaging 23.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and shooting 55 percent in February.

Cancer Continued from B1 “Early detection was so key in my situation. If I hadn’t gone in for the exam, it could have been another year, which would have been a completely different prognosis,� Miller told The Associated Press. “Make your health a priority. Do not delay.

Do not reschedule. We talk about it constantly, but we still find ourselves creating excuses or simply running out of time to go in and go see our doctors. “Personally, I want people to know that I’m OK,� she added. “I definitely have my pity-party days. I definitely have my days when I think about losing my hair and not being able to do all of the things I want to do the next few months. When I start getting upset about it, I think, ‘Wow, I’m so blessed they caught it this early, and I have such a positive prognosis. If that means nine weeks of chemo, a year from now, is that going to matter when I’m here for my son and I’m here for my family?’ It’s all going to be OK.�

With seven Olympic medals and nine from the world championships, Miller is the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history. She is a two-time world allaround champion and was part of the “Magnificent Seven,� the

Steroids Continued from B1 The impact of the cases could be felt for years, especially on Hall of Fame ballots. Already, the drug cloud has taken a toll as neither Mark McGwire nor Rafael Palmeiro has come close to being elected to Cooperstown.

No telling whether Alex Rodriguez or Sammy Sosa will fare any better when their time comes.

In the court of public opinion, many already have convicted Bonds of boosting his performance with the use of steroids. “There is no more doubt that Barry Bonds used steroids than there is that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west,� Costas said. “And there is absolutely no doubt that he wasn’t just enhanced by his steroid use, he was transformed. He was transformed from a truly all-time great player, to a superhuman otherworldly, interplanetary player.�

Babe Ruth hit 60 homers over a scheduled 154-game season in 1927, and Roger Maris broke that hallowed figure when he hit 61 in 1961 over a season slated for 162 games. That stood until 1998, when McGwire hit 70 — with the help, he admitted last year, of steroids and HGH. Bonds topped that with 73 in 2001, and his 762 home runs in a career that stretched from 1986-2007 bettered both Ruth’s 714 and Hank Aaron’s 755.

Aaron does not think the steroids furor will overshadow the upcoming season. “I think people have completely forgotten about it, really, to be honest with you,� Hammerin’ Hank recently told The Associated Press. “I think that if you talk to most young kids or players today, especially young kids that are playing for the first time or second-year players, they don’t even think about it, they just think about what the future holds for them.�

Clemens pitched from 19942007 and his 4,672 strikeouts trail only Nolan Ryan (5,714) and Randy Johnson (4,875). He struck out 218 batters at 42, an age at which nearly all of his contemporaries had retired. “Without the steroids scandal, we would be arguing about whether Bonds was the greatest player of all time — and still a legitimate argument — and we’d be arguing legitimately about whether Roger Clemens was the best pitcher of all time,� baseball historian Ken Burns said. “So steroids complicates essentially the personal immortality of two I find endlessly fascinating figures in baseball.

And what the trial does is it just recalls all of this bifurcation.�

Bonds is not on trial for using steroids, but for lying when he denied knowingly using drugs.

The four counts of making false statements stem from his December 2003 testimony in the Bay Area Laboratory CoOperative (BALCO) case, when Bonds denied that Greg Anderson, his friend and personal trainer, had provided him with drugs.

Prosecutors will attempt to show Bonds lied when he said he didn’t take steroids Anderson gave him, never received human growth hormone from Anderson, never took anything Anderson asked him to take be-

only U.S. women’s gymnastics team to win Olympic gold.

After retiring, she got her law degree and was in high demand as a motivational speaker. But she found her niche advocating for healthy lifestyles, particularly for women. Her “Shannon Miller Lifestyle� website provides tips on a range of health topics including exercise, nutrition and pregnancy, and she does a radio show that focuses on health issues.

Like so many people, though, Miller found it tough to make time for her own health. “I couldn’t see anything, I had no symptoms of any kind,� she said.

Told of the cyst, Miller assumed it would go away. But her doctor decided to do further tests, which showed it was malignant. “Early detection for ovarian cancer is really our message because there is nothing that’s going to prevent you from getting ovarian cancer. The best we can do is early detection,� said Dr. Stephen Buckley, the gynecological oncologist who is treating Miller. “With germ cell malignancies and typical ovarian cancer, when a patient is diagnosed with early stage or Stage 1 cancer, which is what Shannon has, their prognosis is so much better.�

Doctors only had to remove

fore the 2003 season other than vitamins and never allowed anyone to inject him other than physicians.

For some of Bonds’ supporters, not guilty verdicts will be equal to vindication on allegations of drug use. “I think if they’re acquitted, it goes a very long way toward helping them both in their ultimate careers and with the Hall of Fame,� former baseball Commissioner Fay Vincent said. “I think if they are convicted, neither one of them will be elected to the Hall of Fame and I think they will suffer very, very great deprivation in the commercial world.�

Costas sees a distinction between Bonds and Clemens.

Bonds had a .298 career average, finished first in career homers, walks (2,558) and intentional walks (668) and was an eighttime Gold Glove outfielder.

Clemens was 354-184 with a 3.12 ERA, ninth in victories. He won 20 or more games in a season six times, and his season strikeout high was 292 in 1997, well short of Ryan’s post-1900 record of 383. “Clemens clearly extended not only the length of his career but the period where he was a dominant pitcher,� Costas said. “He extended that while using performance-enhancing drugs.

But he did not exceed his previous best levels of performance or the previous best known levels of pitching performance in the history of the game by leaps and bounds, as did Bonds and other steroid guys. “That is not to be construed as a defense of Clemens or a belief in his innocence. It’s a baseball distinction. Bonds and Sosa and McGwire did things that never had been done before and, absent performanceenhancing drugs, never will be done again. Clemens did things that were unlikely, highly unlikely that someone at that stage of his career would do, but his individual seasons did not exceed his previous peaks or the previous established peaks of baseball history, even allowing for differences in eras.�

While prosecutors came upon evidence of Bonds’ alleged drug use during the BALCO raids, Clemens pretty much brought prosecution upon himself. After Brian McNamee, his former personal trainer, became known to federal investigators through their investigation of former New York Mets clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski, McNamee agreed to cooperate with federal agents and baseball investigator George Mitchell in exchange for not getting prosecuted.

Mitchell went public with McNamee’s allegations in his December 2007 report to Selig.

Clemens vehemently denied the allegations, and repeated those denials in February 2008 before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Clemens is charged with lying when he denied using HGH, denied using steroids, said his strength coach never gave him steroids and said his strength coach injected him with vitamin B12.

Burns, known for his 1994 documentary “Baseball,� tried to evaluate the Steroids Era in last year’s update “10th Inning.�

The latest undertaking forced him to attempt to try to place the impact of drugs in baseball

the one ovary with the tumor, meaning Miller will be able to have more children. Chemotherapy wasn’t required, but, without it, there was a possibility the cancer could return.

Miller and her husband, John Falconetti, have a 15-month-old son, Rocco, and the idea of her family living in limbo was scarier to her than the potential side effects of chemo. “It’s nine weeks of not fun,�

Miller said. “But at the same time, I look at my son every day, and I would have a very difficult time living my life every day wondering if and when it’s going to come back. You can’t really argue with 99 percent.

That’s pretty good odds.�

Miller will have three threeweek cycles of chemo. She’ll have five days of treatment the first week, then one day each of the next two weeks before the cycle starts over. “For Shannon and for other women who might have to go through something like this, it’s certainly a real challenge,�

Buckley said. “But she can do this, and she can be just fine.

A diagnosis of cancer certainly does change your life. But it’s not always the end. People don’t have to feel hopeless. She really has a tremendous future ahead of her, and I really do believe everything is going to be just fine.�

history with the other great upheavals. “Because we’re close to it inflates its importance,� he said. “I place it barely third. I think the single-most biggest scandal in the history of baseball is the exclusion of African-Americans systematically for decades and decades and decades. ... The second is gambling. And now we always just put it on the Black Sox. That’s the largest and most obvious manifestation. But gambling was a fact for almost all the decades of baseball after it became a professional game in 1869. “So really what the Black Sox represent is just the visible manifestation of what is an ongoing struggle to keep the game free of gambling. So that to me is an inexcusable scandal that is above steroids. And then you also make as a subset of that Pete Rose’s unbelievable betrayal of the game in the more modern era,� he said.

Bonds and Clemens are both eligible for the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time in 2013.

Based on how McGwire has fared, they are likely to fall far short of the necessary 75 percent. McGwire, 10th on the career home run list with 583, got 19.8 percent of the votes in January on his fifth try on the ballot. “I think that the reasonable assessment is that on their natural merits they were each among the all-time best at their positions, surefire, first-ballot, near-unanimous Hall of Famers if neither one of them had never touched anything stronger than a protein shake and both had retired in the late ’90s,� Costas said.

And in baseball, he said, “it matters more� than in the other sports. “If somebody found out that half the roster of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers were using HGH or some other performance-enhancing drug, that might be disappointing,�

Costas said, “but it has almost no historical application. It just doesn’t resonate the same way.

There’s no parallel in other sports. There’s just no parallel.�

For Vincent, the commissioner during the dawn of the Steroids Era from 1989-92, the trials will cast a cloud over the season, but he also thinks many fans don’t care about Bonds and Clemens all that much because they no longer are active players. “I think it is bad for baseball, but it’s not serious,� he said. “I think it’s a sad commentary.

The legal system has to count on people telling the truth and therefore the government will take seriously charges of lying to federal organizations.�

Burns thinks it will take until 2025 and 2030 before the Steroids Era can be put in perspective. “Steroids will be an important part of our pop cultural history of baseball and we’ll continue to grapple with them,� he said. “Someone will make a deathbed confession and that will alter things, and it will be on the front page of The New York Times when that person passes away, and other people will take to their graves the arrogance that had kept them from owning up to indiscretions they had committed as understandable young men trying to just stay in one of the most elite clubs on Earth.�

XC Continued from B1 “It’s a little crazy,” Wellington admitted. “My husband thinks I’m a little crazy about it.”

But, especially with her school nearing the end of a trimester, Wellington said, it is hard to take days off from work.

This year’s event will be Wellington’s second Masters World Cup. She won two gold medals and a silver in McCall, Idaho, three years ago, the last time the event was held in North America. She says she hopes for topfive placings in the women’s 40-44 age division this time around.

Unlike Wellington, Bob Havard does not harbor medal expectations. In fact, the 60year-old Bend resident, a retired sports medicine physician, said finishing in the top-10 in his age group would be “unbelievable.” Havard plans to ski in the 15K, 10K and 30K skate ski races.

“I assume that I will be very humbled by the whole thing,” Havard explained. “I have very modest expectations, but that’s not the main thing.”

Havard, who has never traveled to a Masters World Cup competition, said he looks at the event as an adventure, a challenge to satisfy his curiosity and to answer his question: “How do I fit into the world of nordic skiing?”

Havard said he also anticipates mingling with athletes from different countries and sharing their communal love of the sport. Skiers from nations including Russia, Australia, Estonia, Slovakia and even Trinidad and Tobago are all registered to compete in British

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

Bob Havard, 60, will be competing in his first Masters World Cup. Columbia.

As a veteran of two previous Masters World Cups, Bend’s Hilary Garrett, 53, can speak to the event’s international flavor. Garrett competed in the McCall edition in 2008 and also last year, when the event was held in Falun,

Sweden. She plans to race the 30K skate, and 10K and 15K classic races in Canada.

“It’s exciting,” said Garrett, a physical therapist, of the event’s atmosphere. “The flags are flying, and the people are ringing their cowbells.”

Garrett recalled last year, when the Olympics were occurring simultaneously, and competitors in Falun would gather in the hotel bar at night to cheer for athletes from their respective countries.

Unlike the Olympics, though, the Masters World Cup is open to any masters-aged skier — literally.

J.D. Downing, XC Oregon coach, is also the USA national director for the World Masters Cross-Country Ski Association, the governing body that oversees the Masters World Cup. Downing said skiers will range in ability from participants who are essentially touring during their races to some with Olympic or World Cup backgrounds.

“Honestly, I’ve never seen anything else like it,” Downing explained. “It’s so different. I’ve been at all these other events … I’ve never seen anything quite as kind of inclusive, but also social and neat, at all levels as World Masters.”

So later this week, hundreds of skiers such as Wellington, Havard and Garrett will travel to a foreign country for the chance to race against and interact with competitors from all over the world.

“It feels like a little taste of what it would be like to be an elite skier at the international level,” Garrett said.

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

The Rainbow Market will continue to sell alcohol thanks to a decision by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which found that numerous incidents at the convenience store were not related to the sale of intoxicants.

The store, located on U.S. Highway 26 southeast of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation, was targeted in 2010 by a report from OLCC staff that listed 50 serious incidents and 30 minor events. The report recommended the liquor license for the store be revoked.

From February 2008 through August 2009, the commission documented many incidents at the location, including fights, sexual assaults and gunshots.

In the report, the commission’s staff considered the totality of the incidents to be a “history of serious and persistent problems involving disturbances, lewd or unlawful activities.”

By Erik Hidle The Bulletin

The Crook County School District has whittled down its search for a new superintendent to three candidates and is asking for community input before making a decision.

A “meet and greet” event is being hosted by the school district Thursday between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. for community members.

“Each candidate will be in a different room so people can meet with them and ask questions,” said school board member Patti Norris. “Then there will be some rating sheets for people to fill out their opinions, and we will factor those in when we make a final decision.”

The board intends to make a final decision March 14.

The three candidates being considered are Michael Grubbs, superintendent of Hockinson School District in Brush Prairie, Wash.; Wayne Kostur, superintendent of Molalla River School District in Molalla; and Duane Yecha, superintendent of Winston-Dillard School District in Winston.

Grubbs has eight years’ experience as a superintendent and served two years as assistant superintendent. He has also been a principal for 12 years and a teacher for 11 years.

Grubbs was not available for comment Monday.

Kostur has 14 years’ experience as a superintendent and served as a principal for eight years. He was also a music teacher for nine years.

“I think I have a skill set that matches with the needs of the district,” Kostur said.

John Day boating permits available today

By Kate Ramsayer The Bulletin

Boating permits for the John Day River during peak times will be available beginning at 7 a.m. today, as the Bureau of Land Management starts a new way of limiting use along the busiest stretches of the waterway.

Individuals and river guides can obtain a permit for a group of up to 16 people to launch along specific segments of the John Day Inside between May • Information 20 and July on boating 20. Half of the permits, available perPage C5 mits will be offered starting today, and half of them will be offered on May 1, said Heidi Mottl, recreation planner with the Prineville BLM district. There is no charge.

The BLM is allowing nine groups a day during peak times to launch between Clarno and Cottonwood, nine groups to launch from Muleshoe or Service Creek, and 10 groups from Twickenham, Priest Hole or Lower Burnt Ranch. There will also be 24 day-use permits per day available for the stretch between Service Creek and Clarno.

Look at this photo as a whole, then in sections, from front to back and bottom to top. You can trace the shapes of triangles throughout the shot, and you can see distinct depths, or layers, from foreground to background, and from grass to tent to sky. By using the shade of a nearby wine-tasting tent for a triangular shadow on the ground, I reduced a tone similarity between the left and right subjects that might have otherwise competed for attention.

Place interesting points of a scene at intersections of invisible lines

By Rob Kerr

The Bulletin

Composing pictures using the Rule of Thirds involves placing items of interest in each of nine spaces in a picture or painting that are formed by drawing invisible lines through the frame.

Filling your frame beyond dead-center carries more visual impact. It forces the viewer to see into different planes of a picture, and is a powerful skill for a photographer to develop.

Many camera manufacturers offer viewfinder screens to assist in picture framing. In digital or film single lens reflex cameras (DSLR, SLR), this screen is something you purchase for your camera brand and place above the shutter in the mirror box. I have a Canon G9 point-andshoot camera that digitally superimposes this grid over the LCD screen on the back. Consider when shopping for a camera whether a grid overlay is something the camera comes with, or whether it’s an optional upgrade. Check the owner’s manual of your current camera to see if this tool can be used with the model you have, then try it.

Whether or not the viewfinder grid is used, you should be able to critique pictures you see in magazines, weddings and family albums about the placement of elements in the picture.

Studying other pictures and paintings is an excellent way to develop your eye. Do you have a favorite photograph in your life? Take a look at it. Is the composition consistent with the Rule of Thirds? Did important parts of the photograph appear at or near the intersections of the imaginary lines? Does this contribute to a picture’s dynamic look or to your response to it?

This grid should also exist three-dimensionally into background layers of a photograph. If this is all too technical, take basic steps first; fill the entire picture frame, keep the corners of your frames interesting, and avoid anything important dead-center of the photograph.

Because so many cameras today use autofocus technology that focuses on the middle of the frame first, consider changing the camera settings or consult the owner’s manual on how to get your camera to focus on a subject that is off-center. If you use a modern DSLR camera, preset an autofocus point on the edges of the viewfinder and make 36 pictures using only that sensor. This exercise can force your eye to look to different parts of the frame than it is used to. I try to minimize making my subjects and points of interest in a photograph occupy the three-quarters oval shape that is really just an extension of the frame’s bull’s-eye center.

Redmond Andy Zeigert / The Bulletin

CITY OF REDMOND

I use manual focus in many photographic situations. If I had set the camera’s autofocus sensor in the middle of this frame, it would have created inconsistent results, with water, axes and trees competing for attention. On my cameras, I use an offset sensor. Read your camera’s manual and try taking a series of pictures using the various autofocus options your camera offers.

Although this frame has little to offer in the foreground and background, offsetting the boy’s face helps to show some of the messy stuff he was crawling through.

This also means one-quarter of my picture is uninteresting by my own design. To improve on this, I am working to design better frames from the corners in as opposed to the process of making a frame from the center out. Black-andwhite photography accelerates this learning process; color photography demands more care in the use of distractions in the frame, like the color red. Now, send us some of your Rule of Thirds efforts to share.

There’s more to this photo than what’s in the foreground. Up front is a Pole Pedal Paddle competitor dressed in a fun costume The fun is in the background, where other competitors are crashing. For this photo, I adjusted my autofocus sensor to the right of the frame in anticipation of the skier in front passing me. By doing this, the other part of the frame was available to capture the falling skier. The skier in the background would not have been as noticeable had the one in the foreground been focused dead-center in the picture.

Attention, photographers!

Submit your own photos at www.bendbulletin.com/wellshot and we’ll pick the best rule of thirds shots for publication next week in this space. No doctored photos, please!

Manager a finalist for Bay Area job

By Patrick Cliff The Bulletin

Redmond City Manager David Brandt is a finalist for the same position in Alameda, Calif.

Before getting the Redmond position in the summer of 2009, Brandt was assistant city manager in the Bay Area city for several years.

Brandt, who has a law degree from the University of Wisconsin, was also the city attorney David Brandt for Alameda.

His connection to the city and its employees, Brandt said, was the main reason he applied for the new position.

He said he applied after former colleagues urged him to do so.

He was surprised to be selected as a finalist.

“I have such mixed emotions,” Brandt said. “I like it up here a lot. I like this job.”

An Alameda official declined to confirm names of any finalists.

Redmond Mayor George Endicott hopes Brandt stays with Redmond. City leaders have praised Brandt’s performance, and the Redmond City Council gave him a raise in July, from $120,000 to $123,600. Each month, the city also deposits $200 into Brandt’s retirement account.

Man persuaded mothers to sexually abuse kids

By Jeff Karoub The Associated Press

DETROIT — A Michigan man built an online profile posing as a good-looking single dad and caring psychologist and persuaded mothers across the country to sexually assault their children as a form of therapy, then send him the images of the attacks, authorities said Monday.

Since authorities arrested him in October, seven children were rescued and at least three mothers have been arrested. Prosecutors say all of the children are now safe.

Steven Demink, 41, of Redford Township, Mich., appeared in federal court in Detroit to enter his plea on six charges related to the sexual exploitation of children.

Seven charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. He faces 15 years to

life in prison when he is sentenced in June.

Court documents paint a picture of a man who targeted single mothers, and Steven in some cases, Demink promised them a date if they followed through with his directions. He would identify himself in conversations as Dalton St. Clair, a single father of a 14-yearold girl, prosecutors said, and posted pictures of male models as his head shots.

He connected with mothers in New Hampshire, Idaho, Florida and elsewhere from April 2009 until September 2010, authorities say, and got them to engage in sexual acts with their children

and send images via e-mail or through a live web stream. The children ranged in age from 3 to 15.

In one case, Demink started online chats with an Oregon woman about the sexual development of her 8-year-old autistic son, according to a plea agreement. He told her to engage in sexually explicit conduct with her son as a way to teach him about sex, and she did so while Demink watched on a web camera, prosecutors say. “Demink intimated to these women that the result of the therapy would be healthier children,� the document said.

Federal agents were tipped off to his operation by the Teton County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho, said Khaalid Walls, a spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investiga-

tions, which led the probe. The mother of a woman who had been chatting with him called sheriff’s officials in late 2009.

The woman’s mother, Eileen Schwab, said she knows little of how Demink persuaded her daughter to follow his orders, but knows she “met him on the Internet and he promised her the world.� Schwab said her daughter was “depressed and lonesome� after her divorce. Her daughter pleaded guilty to lewd conduct with a child under 16 last May and is in prison.

Demink’s attorney, Timothy Dinan, said his client “has expressed a lot of remorse� for what he did and has taken responsibility by pleading guilty. Dinan said Demink’s parents, who were in court but declined to be interviewed, are praying for their son as well as the victims and their families.

The Bulletin will update items in the Police Log when such a request is received. Any new information, such as the dismissal of charges or acquittal, must be verifiable. For more information, call 541-383-0358.

Two injured in Highway 26 crash

City of Bend offering citizens academy

Two people were seriously injured Sunday evening in a two-car crash on U.S. Highway 26 near milepost 63, the Oregon State Police said.

Jeri May Larrance Bafford, 20, was driving west in a 1999 Toyota Tacoma pickup when she rounded a curve and lost control on a patch of packed snow and ice. The Toyota crossed into the eastbound lane, colliding almost headon with the 1999 Honda CRV driven by Stephanie Clanin, 35, of Bend.

Bafford and her passenger, Aaron W. Kuper, 23, were taken to St. Charles Bend for treatment. Bafford was transferred to Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland for treatment. Clanin was not injured in the crash.

All three people involved in the crash were using safety restraints.

The City of Bend is offering local organizations and groups a citizens academy to help explain the workings of the city.

The Bend 101 class session will cover information about the city budget, Public Works Department, Fire and Rescue, Police Department and Community Development Department.

The class is free, and can be customized to fit schedules and interests.

Interested groups can schedule a Bend 101 class session by calling 541-388-5516 or by e-mailing jfinestone@ci.bend.or.us.

Two hurt, dog killed in Highway 26 crash Two people were injured and a dog killed as result of single-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 26 The incident occurred Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 26, east of Prairie City.

At around 6 a.m., a 1999 Ford F250 pickup, driven by Redmond resident John Paul Short, 27, was traveling west near milepost 180 when it traveled off the shoulder and went into a ditch. The pickup rolled several times before coming to a stop in the westbound lane.

Short and his passenger, Larame Gerencser, 39, were ejected and taken to Blue Mountain Hospital in John Day. Their injuries were not life-threatening.

Several dogs, including puppies, were in the pickup.

Some of the dogs were injured and one was killed after it ran onto the highway and was hit by another vehicle.

New transportation option for veterans Special-needs veterans will have a new option for transportation with the purchase of a new minivan by the Veterans Administration in Central Oregon.

O Board considers education chancellor expenses

MEDFORD

Oregonians cherish time they spent in Peace Corps

The Associated Press PORTLAND — The chief executive of Oregon’s state university system has homes in two cities, staff on three campuses and a dramatically eroding budget, so his board is considering whether his office should be reorganized and possibly consolidated in Portland.

The State Board of Higher Education will soon look at the chancellor’s office, probably after the Legislature acts on the board’s proposal to restructure the university system, said Paul Kelly, board president.

Chancellor George Pernsteiner and his 88 employees have offices in Portland, Eugene and Corvallis, as well as Salem.

Pernsteiner, who took office in 2004, keeps homes in Eugene and Portland, The Oregonian newspaper reports.

The university system provides his official residence in Eugene, an 8,000-square-foot mansion called Treetops. He gets $26,000 a year for his Portland home, but the state also spends $41,000 a year maintaining Treetops. A growing portion of Pernsteiner’s work is in Portland.

The chancellor has authority over the system’s seven presidents. He and his office orchestrate and monitor how the universities carry out board policies and goals.

Office budget cut by 78 percent The ranks of faculty and students at Oregon’s seven public universities have grown by a third over the decade, while the chancellor’s office has lost 78 percent of its funding and at least half its staff.

Last year, the chancellor spent $30,565 for his Salem office and $59,439 for space at Portland State University. Oregon State and the University of Oregon provide the office space for free.

State support for the chancellor’s office plummeted from $56 million for 1999-2001 to $12 million this biennium.

In the 2011-13 budget recommended by Gov. John Kitzhaber, state support for the office would drop to $10.9 million.

Pernsteiner earns $280,900 a year, much less than the presidents of the system’s three research universities.

The chancellor’s office has been divided among campuses from the time it was established in 1932. The division was an attempt to ensure no one university commanded the power of the chancellor, said Pernsteiner, who teaches a class on the history of Oregon’s university system.

Doug O’Dell Jr., left, and Doug O’Dell Sr. talk in Medford about the challenges of pulling off stunts for Hollywood movies and television shows.

Hollywood stunt work runs in Oregon family

By Paul Fattig (Medford) Mail Tribune

MEDFORD — When Doug “Digger” O’Dell Sr. watches a cop car racing through the mean streets of L.A. during an episode of the TV show “Southland” on Tuesday nights, he can be forgiven if his chest swells with pride.

After all, the young man driving in the show’s car-chase scenes or fighting the bad guys in south Los Angeles is following in O’Dell’s footsteps.

That would be Doug O’Dell Jr., 31, a 1998 graduate of North Medford High School, who doubles for series star Michael Cudlitz. “ ‘Southland’ is as close to ‘Adam 12’ as I’ve ever seen — it’s the real deal,” said O’Dell Sr., 63.

He ought to know. He was a stuntman on the popular 1960s show about two LAPD patrol officers. He also worked on other TV shows and countless movies.

“We do have the same kind of format as ‘Adam 12,’ ” acknowledged the younger O’Dell. “It is about real-life instances in L.A., about two cops in a car going out every day on the street. Sometimes there are car chases, sometimes foot chases, sometimes bank robberies. It’s always something different.”

After moving to Southern California from his native Medford after high school, he got started in the movie business by working as a production assistant for a few years.

From there it seemed natural for him to graduate into the stunt world his father knew. He was already an expert at driving high speeds with both cars and motorcycles.

“When he was 3 years old, I got him on a mini three-wheeler,” the senior O’Dell said. “He started on that right away.”

“I like anything with a motor — that’s always been my deal,” his son said. “I’ve never been much into ball sports.”

Since he began working in Hollywood, the younger O’Dell has worked with such stars as George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman, Mike Myers,

Coach accused of trying to mail pot The Associated Press ALBANY — Albany police say an Ashland hockey coach is accused of trying to mail a 20pound box of marijuana to New Jersey when the team bus passed through Albany.

Police Capt. Eric Carter says postal workers grew suspicious about the package dropped off Friday and alerted police. Carter says 39-year-old Erik Bjorn Hamlet surrendered to Albany police on Saturday.

Police estimate the box contained about $65,000 worth

of pot.

Hamlet was booked into the Linn County Jail for investigation of marijuana possession and distribution; he was later released on bail. Hamlet did not immediately return a phone message and e-mail for comment.

Police say Hamlet is assistant coach and co-general manager of the Southern Oregon Spartan Junior A hockey team of the Northern Pacific Hockey League. The team was headed to a game in Vancouver, Wash.

“Of course, you also have to perform and make your actor look as good as you can.

But it’s more of a science now. Before, we would just hop on and — brrrroom! — go get it done.”

— Doug “Digger” O’Dell Sr., retired stuntman

Keanu Reeves, Jerry Seinfeld and Steven Spielberg. His movie résumé includes “Daredevil,” “Constantine,” “Cat in the Hat,” “Spongebob Squarepants” and “Twilight.”

He was also one of three stuntmen who did a commercial for Fox in which they doubled for NASCAR greats Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon in the Daytona 500.

The young O’Dell first doubled for Cudlitz on a Fox TV show called “Stand Off.”

‘We look very similar’ “We look very similar,” O’Dell said. “In fact, when I’m on the ‘Southland’ set dressed in my cop uniform, I always have someone coming up and saying, ‘Hey Mike.’ ” During the chase scenes, two cameramen sit in the back seat, shooting over his shoulder.

“You can see my profile, which makes it real believable,” he said.

“When they are shooting over my shoulder, you can’t tell the difference.”

His father, who doubled for actor Paul Newman while doing stunts on the 1974 movie “Towering Inferno,” also started out in cop shows, including “Mod Squad.”

“I was clean-cut back in those days when everybody else had long hair,” he said. “So they always had me doing a stunt for an actor playing a cop.

“It was just a natural thing for Doug (Jr.) to do the police thing,” the father said of his equally clean-cut son. “I love the fact he has gotten hooked up to the TV show that is equivalent in my eyes to ‘Adam 12.’ ” All members of the Screen Actors Guild, stunt men and women are paid daily or weekly rates, with higher pay for more challenging stunts.

Back in his day, stunts were a little less studied than they are now, observed the senior O’Dell.

“You would wet your finger to see which way the wind was blowing, then just did it by the seat of your pants,” he said. “The whole thing about doing stunts now is safety.”

As a father, he appreciates that focus, given his son’s participation in the business.

“Of course, you also have to perform and make your actor look as good as you can,” he said.

“But it’s more of a science now.

Before, we would just hop on and — brrrroom! — go get it done.”

A lot of time is spent today working out how to best pull off a stunt without any hitches, his son agreed.

Both father and son have suffered a few broken bones doing stunts, which they figure comes with the job.

When confronted with a difficult stunt, the young man will often call his father to talk it through.

“I do it all the time,” he said.

When he isn’t working on a stunt out of his home in L.A., the younger O’Dell lives in Medford, where he and his father restore muscle cars as both a hobby and business.

“A lot of guys spend a lot time in the gym,” the young O’Dell said of preparing for a stunt.

“But we are active outdoors, riding motorcycles and doing other things.”

“Anything that has to do with the outdoors, we’re out there doing it,” his dad added. “But you have to be in pretty good shape.

A motorcycle can wear you down and hurt you if you don’t have the experience or the endurance.”

ASHLAND — Hailing from rural western Tennessee, Phil and Polly Arnold had seen precious little of the world before they met in college almost 50 years ago.

The longtime Ashland residents had just completed their junior years at what is now Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn., some 20 miles from their hometowns, when they married more than 47 years ago. He was majoring in history, she in home economics.

Upon graduating, both knew they wanted to do something for humanity. And they wanted to see what waited outside of Tennessee.

“We had a sense of wanting to be of service, and we also wanted adventure,” she said.

“This was a calling we just couldn’t ignore.”

What was calling to them was the Peace Corps. They became volunteers and taught in Nepal in 1964-65, then returned for three more years through 1969 when he joined the Peace Corps as a supervisory staff member.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Peace Corps by President John F. Kennedy. In addition to promoting world peace and friendship through helping others, the mission was to broaden understanding between Americans and people in the countries they served.

Ashland Community Hospital — are two of more than 140 former Peace Corps volunteers living in Jackson and Josephine counties.

Those volunteers served in countries ranging from Azerbaijan to Zambia, Brazil to Uganda.

“I felt Kennedy spoke to me when he said, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country’ ” Phil Arnold said. “That just grabbed me. We both wanted to participate in that kind of public service.”

During their five years with the Peace Corps, they immersed themselves in the Nepalese culture, including becoming fluent in Nepali. Before heading to Nepal, the Arnolds took a threemonth crash course at the University of Oregon in Eugene to learn the language.

In fact, they celebrated their first wedding anniversary in Eugene preparing for their adventure in Nepal.

“When we arrived in Katmandu, we couldn’t understand a word anybody was saying,” he said. “But, by having that base, it all quickly came together for us.”

They were fluent within a year, he added.

The “village” they lived in had about 100,000 people but only one partially paved road.

“The Peace Corps was a wonderful experience,” Polly said. “I feel lucky we took the steps to do that. It changed our lives. We see the world differently now.”

No fairy tale ending in sight for Bend budget

W

hy does Bend face a five-year budget shortfall between $17 million and $27 million?

One answer: personnel. Personnel costs are out of

whack with revenue.

The city’s estimates put personnel cost growth at 4 percent to 9 percent per employee. General fund revenues are estimated to go up between 1.3 percent and 3.7 percent over the next five years. And salaries and benefits are a big hunk of the city’s money, about $49.1 million for fiscal year 2010-2011.

The city’s general fund was $78.7 million for 2009-2011.

Unless something is done to bring those salaries and benefits into line, they will mushroom. The city will be compelled to make agonizing tradeoffs. It’s going to have to layoff more people or cut services.

“The word we keep hearing is unsustainable,” Bend Human Resources Manager Janice Grady told a Bulletin reporter, referring to the costs of retirement benefits and health care.

Sure, the Legislature may bring some relief with changes to the state retirement system. And the city may refine and improve the city’s outlook.

The key word in either case is “may.”

There are some encouraging changes already in place. Bend plans to freeze wages for nonunion employees. Firefighters have switched to a high deductible insurance plan that may be cheaper for the city. Non-union employees are going to switch to it and perhaps others will.

On the other hand, 158 employees of the City of Bend Employees Association also have a 2 percent pay raise coming in July, which is bad timing if nothing else.

Now the city is getting ready to go into negotiations with employees. We know it’s going to be painful for employees to accept cuts.

Would it be better to have their coworkers laid off? Would it be better to cut city services? Would it be better to ask residents of Bend, who are already struggling, to pay more?

Bend’s budget picture doesn’t have a fairy tale ending. It ends with sacrifice. And Bend can’t afford anything more.

Let students go R

edmond teachers’ concerns about the district’s open student transfer policy are understandable, if misdirected. With a nearly $10 million budget hole to fill, the idea of letting as much as $1 million walk out the door to other school districts is a distressing one. Still, Superintendent Shay Mikalson wants to keep the policy alive, and he’s right.

In Oregon, the state picks up the tab for about two-thirds of the cost of operating local schools, mostly by awarding money to districts based on enrollment. Currently, the state doles out roughly $6,000 for each student in a district. If a student transfers elsewhere, the money follows him or her to the new district. Fortunately for school districts, the state reduces its portion of funds not in the first year numbers decline, but in the second.

That gives the district time to make adjustments.

The president of the Redmond Education Association, the teachers union, warned Mikalson and the district school board that if the open transfer policy continues, it’s going to be an issue. REA President Judy Newman told the board, “I believe it is going to impact (union members’) decision-making when they’re asked for concessions.”

Rather than digging in their heels, Redmond’s teachers should be asking themselves why so many students

want to go to school elsewhere. Most transfer because they live closer to Bend than Redmond, says Stephanie Curtis, district communications director. Often their parents work in Bend and their homes are closer to Bend schools. Forcing children to put up with an extended bus ride twice a day doesn’t make much sense.

Some transfer because they or their parents believe they will receive a better education elsewhere, and they’re the ones Redmond teachers and administrators really should be concerned about. That was the case several years ago, when high schoolers opted to go to Sisters rather than face the extreme crowding that was part of life in the district’s sole high school. With a new school on the way, those concerns should disappear.

Mikalson told Newman and his board he plans to tighten enforcement of the district’s transfer policy. Among the changes may be interviews with families proposing to leave. The interviews should give the district a better picture of why students are leaving.

Teachers and administrators alike should be anxious to hear what those interviews produce. If students are leaving for academic reasons, all parties should be eager to correct the situation, not simply force unhappy students to stay in a school they don’t wish to attend.

My Nickel’s Worth Police priorities Psst! All burglars and drug pushers: A headline in a recent’s Bulletin reads, “Police continue to search for cat’s shooter,” going on to say, “Police are still investigating the shooting of a cat on the west side of Awbrey Butte this week. So far there are no suspects.” I presume they’ll be putting six to seven more officers on the job now.

Sounds like an all-clear to me, mates.

Good luck, hear?

Humane geese control It is encouraging that so many have responded to the Bend Park District’s call for volunteers in its geese program.

The Park Volunteer Coordinator stated she was “feeling really good about the quantity of volunteers who have stepped up” for this effort. These volunteers will be engaged in the two most important components of humane geese management — oiling eggs and hazing with trained dogs.

Humane methods have proven to be the most powerful, cost-effective and sustainable ways of resolving human-geese conflicts in North America and Europe. “The geese have basically cleared off. The main part of the river is basically clear of Canada geese,” reported Jan Heggie, town treasurer of Stratford-Upon-Avon, England, which adopted the humane GeesePeace program in 2005. In early 2010, the Bend Park District began its nest location program in earnest. The visiting director of

GeesePeace noted an immediate reduction in hatched goslings. A park official even acknowledged zero population growth (The Bulletin, June 23).

However, instead of building on this success and incorporating the recommendations of GeesePeace for further improvement, the district abruptly about-faced and killed 109 geese on June 29.

All that is needed now from the Bend Park & Recreation District is this pledge: We will not interrupt the steady progress of our humane program with exterminations — except in the event of a dire emergency. Otherwise, we will never know whether humane geese management can stand on its own as the solution. Solving the poop problem without killing geese, while saving money: It’s what we all want.

Protect permit privacy The Bulletin on Feb. 11 criticized House Bill 2787 that wants to close the list of concealed handgun permits to the public. My first thought was that the editorial staff at The Bulletin got their water in the cooler mixed up with a delivery meant for Eugene.

Applicants are severely scrutinized by the county, up to and including fingerprinting. Many of the applicants were qualified in the military or law enforcement, and all were required to take a safety class (unless military record shows qualification).

The Bulletin expressed concern that a teacher might have a handgun. The

school should be so lucky to have several teachers with the proper training and concealed handguns; countless school shootings would be prevented or curtailed early. Our schools are wide open to madmen with guns (with no training, no permits, no fingerprints on file) and those madmen will always be able to get a gun ... yes, always.

The reasons for a concealed permit are many, and the permit affords protection for the public. That is why some airline captains took special training to carry concealed. Remember the disgruntled employee at USAir that got on a flight after being fired and shot his supervisor and then went to the cockpit and shot both pilots? All aboard died.

Oh, for a gun in the cockpit on that PSA 1771 flight. A gun in the cockpit is simply the last line of defense if all others are circumvented. Same for schools and other wide-open public buildings.

Law-abiding, trained citizens who go through the trouble and expense to have a concealed are the last line of defense in a free, wide-open society such as ours. Think of it as an extension of our Second Amendment.

Just for the record, this writer is not a member of the NRA, nor in favor of oversized bullet clips or automatic weapons. But he is in favor of protecting the innocent against the deranged.

However, it would be appropriate for concealed permit holders to qualify at a range every year. Increase the qualifications for a concealed permit all you want to ... but to release that information to the public is just plain stupid.

As technology advances, cars become extensions of cell phones DETROIT — ’m barreling along a rural Michigan highway at 75 mph in a gray Ford Taurus X when I glance down to check a number on a screen.

It can’t be more than two seconds, but when I look back up, I’m inches from plowing into a huge green truck. Panicked, I slam on the brakes.

Even though I’m in Virttex, the Ford simulator that uses virtual reality to give you the eerily real sensation that you’re flying down the highway past cars and barns, I still feel shaken.

I made the mistake of taking my eyes off the road for more than 1.5 seconds, which is the danger zone, according to technology experts at Ford headquarters.

Ford, Chrysler, Chevy and other car companies are betting on the proposition that, as long as your eyes don’t stray from the road for more than a moment, your other senses can enjoy a cornucopia of diversions on your dashboard.

I worried in a prior column that Ford cars with the elaborate and popular new “in-car connectivity” sounded like

I

death traps. Ford Sync lets you sync up to apps, reading your Twitter feeds to you. MyFord Touch plays your iPod on demand and reads your texts to you — including emoticons — and allows you to choose one of 10 prewritten responses (“I’m on my way,” “I’m outside,” “OK”). It also has voice-activated 3-D navigation that allows you to merely announce “I’m hungry” or “Find Chinese restaurant.”

Your car can even help you with a bad mood by giving you ambient lighting, vibrating your seat or heating your steering wheel.

Ford executives invited me to Detroit to experience their snazzy new technology firsthand.

They are on the cusp of a system featuring the futuristic avatar Eva, the vaguely creepy face and voice of a woman on your dashboard who can read you your e-mail, update your schedule, recite articles from newspapers, guide you to the restaurant where you’re having lunch and recommend a selection from your iPod. Ford’s working on a Web browser, which would be locked while driving.

MAUREEN DOWD Remember when your car used to be a haven of peace from the world? Now it’s just a bigger, noisier and much more dangerously distracting smart phone.

Over lunch at Ford, Sue Cischke, a dynamic company executive, argued that even before cell phones and iPods, drivers were in danger of distraction from reaching for a briefcase or shooing away a bee.

“Telling younger people not to use a cell phone is almost like saying, ‘Don’t breathe,’” she said.

Given that Americans are addicted to Web access and tech toys, she said, it will never work to simply ban them.

“So we’ve got to figure out how we make people safer,” she said, “and the more people can just talk to their car like they’re talking to a passenger, the more

useful it would be.”

Given that, however, we’re talking about human beings who live in an ADD world, wouldn’t it be safer to try to curb the addiction, rather than indulging it?

Nobody thought you could get young people to pay for music after downloading it for free, either, but they do.

David Teater, a former market research consultant to auto manufacturers, lost his 12-year-old son in a distracted driving accident in Grand Rapids, Mich., seven years ago. A 20-year-old nanny driving her charge in her employer’s Hummer was so immersed in a cell phone call that she ran a red light and smashed into Teater’s wife’s Chevy Suburban. Now he works at the National Safety Council.

He says he doesn’t expect car companies — which are trying to make cars more seductive — to be arbiters of safety. “They were slow to move toward seat belts and airbags until we, the customer, said we want it,” he said. He sees the overwrought dashboards as trouble.

“We can chew gum and walk, but we can’t do two cognitively demanding

tasks simultaneously.”

Ray LaHood, the secretary of transportation, is livid about the dashboard bells and whistles. When he saw a Ford ad with a bubbly young woman named Kelly using the new souped-up system to gab on the phone hands-free and not paying attention to the road, he called Alan Mulally, the president and CEO of Ford.

“I said to him, ‘That girl looks so distracted, it belies belief that this is what you want in terms of safety,’ ” LaHood told me. “Putting entertainment centers in automobiles does not contribute to safe driving. When you’re trying to update your Facebook or put out a tweet, it’s a distraction.”

He said he would compile his own statistics, meet with car executives and use the bully pulpit. “We’ll see what the auto companies can do voluntarily and what we need to do otherwise,” he said.

“I don’t think drivers should be doing any of that.”

John McKenna ‘Mack’ Bosch 1925 - 2011 Mack passed away Feb. 26 in Bend. Born July 17, 1925, to Frank and Nellie Bosch, he grew up in Portland, graduating from Cathedral School '39, Columbia Prep '43 after being a ‘Mack’ Bosch standout athlete. WWII found Mack in the 10th Mountain Division fighting on the Italian Front.

When peace returned, he married (1948) his high school sweetheart, Nancy (Baker) and left for the University of Michigan earning a B.S. in Wood Technology.

They settled in Portland and started their family. Children, Leslie Hutchinson (Tim), Susan Porter (Bill), Elizabeth Porter (Steve), and John Jr. (Betsy) survive.

Mack worked in Portland for several years for PB John, Gerber Knives and the PAM Company. In 1966, the family moved to Bend where Mack managed Willamette Industry’s Kor-Pine Division.

Throughout his career and into retirement, he was a tireless volunteer giving his time and treasure to community needs such as the St. Charles Hospital Board, Cascade Music Festival (chair/founder), St. Francis Church and others. An avid skier, Mack supported Skyliners, and later, was active in the development of Mt. Bachelor with his childhood friend, Bill Healy. He loved tennis, playing into his late 70s. He built Bend's first indoor court where friends still enjoy playing today. After retirement in 1992, Mack enjoyed countless joy-filled hours creating handmade canoes and hardwood jewelry boxes, donating them for charitable causes. Nancy and Mack loved traveling the world in style. At home, family and friends enjoyed their wonderful parties or quiet dinners.

Everybody loved Mack. He had charm and a contagious smile. A loyal friend, Mack cherished his many friendships, several dating from childhood.

Mack is predeceased by his wife of 62 years. In addition to his children, he leaves six grandchildren, Alex, McKenna, Erica, Vanessa, Nicolas and Blake.

The family suggests donations in Mack's memory to Partners in Care Hospice, Bend. Requiem Mass, 10:30 a.m., March 2, Historic St. Francis Church, 494 NW Lava Rd., Bend. Arrangements through Niswonger-Reynolds 541-382-2471.

Market Continued from C1 Last year, an administrative law judge heard the case and disagreed with the agency’s report, saying there was no proof that problems at the convenience store were related to the sale of alcohol.

The OLCC met Feb. 18 to adopt, deny or modify that ruling. The commission voted unanimously to adopt the ruling of the judge and end the case against Rainbow Market.

Timothy Gassner, a Madras-based attorney representing the market, believes the OLCC’s decision will end the case, though agency investigators may appeal.

To succeed, however, “they would have to prove the persons involved in the incidents were patrons of the store and the incidents were related to sales of alcohol from the store. The commission vote says there was insufficient evidence to show that.”

Rainbow Market is the closest location for residents of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation to purchase alcohol. The reservation prohibits the sale of alcohol within its boundaries.

Jane Russell dies at 89

By Claudia Luther Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Jane Russell, the darkhaired siren whose sensational debut in the 1943 film “The Outlaw” inspired producer Howard Hughes to challenge the power and strict morality of Hollywood’s production code, died Monday at her home in Santa Maria, Calif. She was 89.

Russell, who would later turn her sexy image to comic effect in films with Bob Hope, Marilyn Monroe and other major stars, had respiratory problems and died after a short illness, her family said.

Russell’s provocative performance in “The Outlaw” — and the studio publicity shots posing her in a low-cut blouse while reclined on a stack of hay bales — marked a turning point in moviedom sexuality. She became a bona fide star and a favorite pinup girl of soldiers during World War II. Troops in Korea named two embattled hills in her honor.

She went on to appear in 18 more films in the 1940s and 1950s and, though only a few were memorable, she remains a favorite from the era for her wry portrayals of sex goddesses who seem amused by their own effect.

Among Russell’s better films are “The Paleface,” in which she plays Calamity Jane opposite Hope’s feckless dentist in a spoof of “The Virginian,” and “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” a musical in which she is brunette gal pal Dorothy to Monroe’s gold-digging Lorelei Lee.

“I told him I wouldn’t let him go,” Endicott said. “I’d chain him to his desk.”

Brandt said he doesn’t know Alameda’s timeline and is not certain what he would do if offered the position. Either way, Brandt said he does not plan to apply for any other positions.

“If this were not to happen, I’m not looking for anything else,” Brandt said.

Last WWI doughboy dies at 110 Frank Buckles, who drove an Army ambulance in France in 1918 and came to symbolize a generation of embattled young Americans as the last of the World War I doughboys, died Sunday at his home in Charles Town, W.Va. He was 110.

His death was announced on his website.

He was only a corporal and he never got closer than 30 or so miles to the Western Front trenches, but Buckles became something of a national treasure as the last living link to the 2 million men who served in the American Expeditionary Forces in France in “the war to end all wars.”

Frail, stooped and hard of hearing but sharp of mind, Buckles was named grand marshal of the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington in 2007. He was a guest at Arlington National Cemetery on Veterans Day 2007 for a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknowns. He was honored

by Defense Secretary Robert Gates at the Pentagon and met with President George W. Bush at the White House in March 2008.

U.S. senators played host to him at the Capitol in June 2008 for the impending 90th anniversary of the World War I armistice. And he ap-

John Day Continued from C1 “We’re required by the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to set a capacity for boating use,” Mottl said. “The launch limits are designed to reduce crowding on the wild and scenic river, and ensure that overnight boating groups are able to find a suitable campsite on public lands each night of their trips.”

Permit unnecessary after July 10

peared before a Senate subcommittee in December 2009 to support legislation named in his honor to bestow federal status on a World War I memorial on the Washington Mall built in the 1930s.

The Department of Veterans Affairs said he would be buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.

Sought out for interviews in his final years, Buckles told of witnessing a ceremony involving British veterans of the Crimean War, fought in the 1850s, when

he was stationed in England before heading to France. He remembered chatting with Gen. John Pershing, the commander of U.S. troops in World War I, at an event in Oklahoma City soon after the war’s end.

Frank Woodruff Buckles was born Feb. 1, 1901, on a farm near Bethany, Mo. He was living in Oakwood, Okla., when the United States entered World War I, and he tried to enlist in the Marine Corps at age 16, having been inspired by recruiting posters.

for 14 years. He was a teacher for eight years.

“I love Central and Eastern Oregon,” Yecha said. “I’m very pleased with the location and the town. One thing I absolutely plan to bring to the job is complete transparency in the

budget, to the public and to the press.”

Food, Home & Garden Every Tuesday

OCTOBER 27, 1917 - FEBRUARY 22, 2011 Elsie was born in Mt. Vernon, Oregon, to Paul and Illa Hanson.

She was one of six children. Elsie met and married her long time husband, Henry C. Wyatt, in 1947. They celebrated 54 years together before Henry passed away.

They had four children; Bonnie Clark of Portland, Oregon, Raymond Wyatt, deceased; Tonya Ebert of Fairfield, California, and Clifford Wyatt, Redmond, Oregon.

Elsie was primarily a homemaker, also helping Henry in his businesses. She loved family, cooking, gardening, and sewing. Her specialties were tatting and crocheting.

She traveled extensively in North America and Europe and loved the outdoors, camping, hunting, and fishing. Both Elsie and Henry were very active in the American Legion in many capacities.

She is survived by nine grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

In addition to Henry and Raymond, she was preceded in death by Kenneth W. Clark, a grandson.

Outside of the May 20 to July 10 period, boating groups do not need to reserve permits and can fill out the unlimited permits out at launch sites.

People who can’t get a permit in the first round can try again May 1, Mottl said, and check periodically to see if cancellations have opened up slots. Boaters should let the BLM know if they have suggestions for improving the system, Mottl said.

Kate Ramsayer can be reached at 541-617-7811 or kramsayer@bendbulletin.

Boating permits Permits for groups boating on popular segments of the John Day River between May 20 and July 10 will be available online at www .johndayboaterpermit.com.

Permits are free this year, although that could change in coming years. Half of the permits for segments between Clarno and Cottonwood and between Service Creek and Clarno will be available starting at 7 a.m. today, while the rest will be released on May 1.

For more information about the permits, visit www. blm.gov/or/resources/ recreation/johnday/permits. php. People with questions can contact the BLM at JDRiverStudy@blm.gov or (541) 416-6700.

In Memory of Clifford R. Selle January 17, 1938 – March 1, 2010 One year ago today, Cliff Selle passed from this world to the Next at St. Charles, Bend. His wife and children were with him as he went to a Better Place. He was born to Adell French and Donald Boone Selle in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Cliff spent several years in the U.S. Navy, married his wife in Arlington, Oregon, December 13, 1959. He graduated from Eastern Washington University in 1971, taught Art and coached football and wrestling in Washington. He and his wife moved to Bend in 1990.

After retiring, ishing became one of Cliff’s passions. He loved tournament “blast off” starts at dawn. Although he amassed many tournament trophies, they were secondary to the camaraderie shared with his friends ishing for bass, sturgeon and steelhead all over the western states.

Cliff was known for his eternal optimism, positive attitude and quick wit. He loved verbal sparring. His sense of humor and powerful strength of character were evident even in the last days of his life. He loved his family, camping, cooking big holiday dinners, ishing, football, handcrafting furniture and restoring his 1966 Stout.

Survivors are his wife, Carol, son Tony, (wife Sandra), daughter Leslie, and his building partner, Peggy; three grandchildren, Scott, Annie and Natalie. The family wishes to thank Dr. Jeffery Absalon for his years of friendship and care.

Although Cliff is deeply missed, his spirit lives on in his children, grandchildren, and every sunrise.

Megaquakes may strike Northwest frequently Faults, instability found in region in the 10 years since Nisqually quake

By Sandi Doughton The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — The biggest surprise about the Nisqually earthquake was that it wasn’t worse.

Even a decade ago, scientists knew the Northwest was vulnerable to much nastier shakes than the magnitude 6.8 that rattled Seattle 10 years ago Monday.

But what they’ve learned in the past 10 years really has some researchers spooked.

“It used to be, I never really thought much about it,” said Oregon State University marine geologist Chris Goldfinger. “Now I sit in my building — the kind that pancakes in an earthquake — and I’m thinking: I hope it doesn’t go now.”

Goldfinger’s studies suggest megaquakes of the type that devastated Sumatra and set off a deadly tsunami may jolt the Northwest much more often than previously thought. In the Puget Sound region, scientists have added more than 10 active faults to a list that numbered two in 2001. And new analyses show the ground under downtown Seattle isn’t nearly as stable as folks used to think.

“The hazard has certainly gone up, but it’s a reflection of our increased knowledge,” said Brian Sherrod, a U.S. Geological Survey scientist stationed at the University of Washington.

Hidden faults Technologies that reveal hidden faults and measure the scrunching of the Earth’s crust down to the millimeter have propelled a decade of remarkable discovery in the Northwest. Oldfashioned fieldwork played a part, too. In their search for signs of earthquakes past, Sherrod and his colleagues dug so many trenches he’s lost track.

The new insights are begin-

which may have strands that extend from Vancouver Island to Richland.

The good news about the region’s shallow faults is they don’t pop very often, Sherrod said.

Repeat times seem to range between 700 and several thousand years. The bad news is Sherrod and his colleagues keep finding more.

“I’m working on three more right now,” he said. “We haven’t even really begun looking south of Olympia.”

Airborne laser scanner ning to inform construction and emergency planning, said Craig Weaver, the USGS’ regional seismic-hazards chief. “Ten years ago, we were in an exploratory phase. Now we have much more certainty about what we might expect to happen.”

That includes quakes of magnitude 6.5 to 7.5 on shallow faults that fracture the landscape from Olympia to the Canadian border.

There’s one aimed at the heart of Tacoma. Another skirts Olympia, and a third passes between Mukilteo and Edmonds. Some of the faults appear to cross the Cascade Mountains into Central Washington.

“We’re astounded by the number of big faults we’re dealing with,” Weaver said.

Worst-case scenario Last week’s New Zealand quake underscored the danger of shallow faults near cities. Even a relatively modest-sized quake can be deadly when the shaking is not dampened by distance or depth. Seattle’s worst-case scenario is a magnitude 7+ on the Seattle Fault, the biggest of the two faults geologists had penciled in on their maps 10 years ago. Extending from Bainbridge Island to Bellevue, it passes under Safeco Field.

A repeat of the Seattle Fault’s last big jolt 1,100 years ago would be among the most destructive in American history. And Sherrod and others now believe the Seattle Fault is dwarfed by a much larger fault zone called the Southern Whidbey Island Fault,

The key to unlocking the region’s seismic past was the airborne laser scanner called LIDAR. The technique filters out vegetative cover and creates topographic maps that strip the landscape bare. Potential faults stand out like broken bones on an X-ray. “That completely changed everything,” Sherrod said.

On the coast, Goldfinger, too, is using novel approaches to better understand the cocked gun called the Cascadia Subduction Zone, source of some of the world’s biggest earthquakes. The 600-mile-long offshore fault is the place where the ocean floor is being crammed under the continental plate. By the early 2000s, it was clear the fault could produce magnitude-9 earthquakes and tsunamis on a par with Sumatra’s 2004 cataclysm. The most recent was in 1700.

By examining sediment cores for evidence of underwater landslides, Goldfinger pushed the record back to include 22 megaquakes over the past 10,000 years. More controversial is his claim the sediments also show big quakes on the section of the fault off the Oregon coast strike every 240 years, instead of the 400 to 500 years now factored into risk assessments. If true, that means there’s a 37 percent chance the region will be rocked within the next 50 years.

Some experts remain unconvinced the danger zone lies within a scant 50 miles of the Interstate 5 corridor. “The jury is out; but if it’s true, it has to be taken seriously because of the implications,” Goldfinger said.

B U S I N E SS IN BRIEF Higher costs take bite out of tax relief WASHINGTON — Rising food and energy prices ate away at the extra money workers received in January from a reduction in the payroll tax, according to government data released Monday, stalling the momentum in consumer spending.

The Obama administration had hoped to prop up the country’s economic recovery through a wide-ranging tax cut package passed late last year.

One of the key components of the program is a 2 percent cut in the amount that workers must pay toward Social Security for the rest of the year.

The tax cut saved workers roughly $66.3 billion and helped boost incomes by 1 percent in January compared with the previous month, the government data show. But much of the increase went toward paying for more expensive food and fuel, which together account for about one-fifth of consumer spending, the Commerce Department report said.

Expert tax prep for the average filer Certified public accountant Giancarlo Pozzi founded ZoomTax, which operates out of his CPA office in Bend. ZoomTax provides the expertise of a CPA at a reasonable fee, he said.

Pozzi hopes to eventually open branches in other locations around Oregon.

“Many people walk away from tax preparation by non-CPAs without knowing they are entitled to more money.”

WASHINGTON — U.S. companies expect the economy to grow faster than previously estimated as demand from consumers, businesses and other countries picks up, a survey shows.

Gross domestic product in the world’s largest economy will expand at a 3.3 percent pace in 2011, up from the 2.6 percent rate forecast in November, according to a survey by the National Association for Business Economics issued Monday in Washington. Consumer spending, business investment and exports will also increase more than previously projected.

Brewery increases its capacity Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. installs top-of-the-line system

By Jordan Novet The Bulletin

Cascade Lakes Brewing Co. has replaced 17year-old production equipment in Redmond with a top-of-the-line system allowing for improvements in capacity, efficiency and taste.

Earlier in the winter, the brewery installed a customized 25-barrel brew house system from Canby stainless steel manufacturer JVNW Inc., “the Ferrari manufacturer of the brewing world,” said Cascade Lakes President Chris Justema.

Altogether, the installation has cost the brewery about $125,000, Justema said.

The new, more efficient system enables the brewery to crank out 775 gallons of beer per batch and three batches a day — 25 percent more than with the old system, which was in place since the brewery began operating in 1994.

Money pouring in for music services

By Ben Sisario New York Times News Service

Since it emerged in the 1990s, digital music has been hugely popular with fans, but for online music companies and their investors it has almost never been profitable.

And yet the money has again started pouring in.

Pandora, the popular Internet radio service, filed for an initial public offering in February that would raise $100 million. Spotify, a highly lauded European service, is reportedly raising $100 million from private equity firms to help it come to the United States.

Bend startup ZoomTax aims for big returns for its clients

By Tim Doran The Bulletin

fter nearly 25 years as a certified public accountant, Giancarlo Pozzi decided to start an income tax-preparation service for those who, at first glance, might not seek out a CPA to handle their IRS forms and schedules.

With ZoomTax, the business he officially started a year ago and hopes to eventually expand statewide, Pozzi seeks to bring a CPA’s expertise and experience to that clientele.

“Many people walk away from tax preparation by non-CPAs without knowing they are entitled to more money,” he said.

The work also can have its re-

wards for Pozzi and his staff.

One customer for whom ZoomTax found an additional $4,000 in refunds after examining previous years’ tax returns showed her appreciation by dropping off homemade cookies every month for six months, he said.

“I can tell you, if you’re a single

mother making $28,000 per year and you found out you were entitled to a $4,000 refund, it’s Christmas in July,” Pozzi said Monday.

This will be the first full tax season for ZoomTax, which he runs out of his CPA business on Southwest Simpson Avenue near Cyber Drive in Bend. ZoomTax started in the middle of last year’s tax season.

Pozzi created the business intending to expand. The Bend ZoomTax will serve as a model, and he hopes to open offices elsewhere in Central Oregon and eventually statewide.

Nonprofit in charge of Web addresses comes under fire

By Ian Shapira The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The California nonprofit organization that operates the Internet’s levers has always been a target for global heavies like Russia and China that would prefer to see the United Nations in charge of the Web. But these days, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is fending off attacks from a seemingly unlikely opposition: the Obama administration.

The U.S. government, which helped create ICANN in 1998, has been reprimanding the nonprofit to be more accountable to foreign nations, even warning that it must meet certain U.S. recommendations by the summer.

The battle has come at a sensitive time for ICANN, which this year is trying to pull off the biggest expansion of the Web in the Internet’s history.

Residents of some of America’s smaller cities may face a tough choice in the future: Pay increasingly high fares to board a plane close to home or drive farther to a bigger airport with lower ticket prices.

While it is difficult to calculate how much fares are rising at places like Mobile, Ala., versus large cities like Miami — the Department of Transportation’s most recent study of rural airfares was published in 1998 — industry executives and analysts agree that smaller markets are generally experiencing bigger price increases.

“It’s just the economics of the airplane involved and the demand,” said Michael Boyd, an aviation consultant with Boyd Group International. “It’s an issue of volume.”

Since airlines typically fly turboprops

and 50-seat jets on the routes that connect outlying communities to big hubs, the higher cost of fuel and other expenses

gets split among fewer passengers. Carriers are retiring these planes because they are unprofitable as oil prices climb.

But many small airports do not generate enough traffic to fill larger planes multiple times a day, or attract the lowfare carriers that choose markets with higher volume. And as local residents drive to bigger airports with lower fares, or forgo flying as it gets more expensive, small airports feel the pinch even more.

That means communities are fighting to maintain affordable airline service as carriers cut back on flights to moneylosing markets. With the economy still struggling and airlines tightly managing capacity, some analysts say they believe that the day of reckoning has arrived when the number of commercial airports may shrink.

“There are very few communities that are going to lose access to the rest of the world,” Boyd said. “It’s just that that access may not be from the local airport.”

Honda, Subaru top Film festivals tap technology Consumer Reports’ to reach a national audience annual report card Digital distribution

By Jerry Hirsch Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Consumer Reports released its annual auto choices Monday, giving high marks to such vehicles as the Honda Fit, the Hyundai Elantra and the Chevrolet Avalanche.

In its annual “automakers report card,” the consumer magazine said Honda and Subaru make the best vehicles overall, while Ford posted the largest quality gains among the major automakers. Ford improved in both the road tests of its vehicles and in its reliability scores.

Ford has made more strides than rival American automakers General Motors and Chrysler in recent years, according to Consumer Reports. With a score of 67 based on combined road tests and reliability, it was ranked the top U.S.-based auto company.

“Current offerings such as the Fusion, Flex, and Mustang have been impressive, and even the new Fiesta scored well in tests,” the magazine said.

Honda, including its Acura division, had the highest overall score, 74, and the best reliability record of any manufacturer, the magazine said.

Subaru was just behind in second place with a score of 73.

Despite a year of big recalls for unintended acceleration, sticking gas pedals and other problems, Toyota still did well in the Consumer Reports tests,

finishing in third place with 71 points. The magazine said that the company’s Toyota, Lexus and Scion models “remain solid choices overall,” although some of the newer vehicles “have slipped in interior fit and finish.”

Toyota vehicles also made up three of Consumer Reports’ 10 top picks.

General Motors, with 56 points, has also improved in both its average road-test and reliability scores. Consumer Reports said it liked newer GM models such as the Buick Enclave and LaCrosse and the Chevrolet Equinox and Traverse. But the company was still well down in rankings because of its older models.

Chrysler came in last in the class, with a score of just 43.

The magazine named the Honda Fit best budget car and the Hyundai Elantra the best small car. It said the Nissan Altima was the best family sedan and that the Toyota RAV4 was the best small SUV. The Toyota Prius hybrid was the best “green” car and the Kia Sorento was the best family SUV. That was the first Kia to make the Consumer Reports list of top picks.

The Ford Mustang was the best sporty car and the Toyota Sienna was the best family hauler. The Infiniti G37 was named the best sports sedan and the Chevrolet Avalanche was best pickup truck.

Salon.com merger talks fall through

By Andrew Ross Sorkin and Jeremy W. Peters New York Times News Service

Merger talks between Salon. com, a pioneer in online news and opinion, and Newser.com, a news aggregation website founded by a journalist, Michael Wolff, have collapsed, according to people involved in the discussions.

Salon.com, which had quietly put itself on the auction block in recent months, had been in negotiations to be sold to Newser, these people said, but the talks broke down over price.

The discussions progressed to the point that the two businesses shared detailed financial information with each other, and the deal was discussed among Salon’s directors, said these people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the conversations were intended to remain private.

The talks faltered just after The Huffington Post sold itself to AOL for $315 million, which raised questions among Salon’s board members about whether

Q: A:

What market is ZoomTax aimed at?

(We are) serving a market that’s not currently looking at CPAs. CPAs run offices that serve a certain market, not middle- or lower-scale markets. I realized that there’s probably a segment of the market of non-CPA-prepared tax returns that (may not be getting) the best services.

Jane Rosenthal, a founder of the Tribeca Film Festival, with Geoff Gilmore, the group’s chief creative officer, are seen in New York last year.

Using on-demand technology and Web services, the Tribeca and Sundance film festivals are expanding to gain a wider audience for independent movies. “We learned very quickly that our brand can resonate beyond New York,” said Rosenthal.

lures popular events into new segment of movie business

By Brooks Barnes New York Times News Service

LOS ANGELES — Two big film festival operators, Tribeca Enterprises and the Sundance Institute, are about to greatly expand their efforts to use technology to bring specialty movies to a national audience.

For years, the business function of festivals was straightforward: Create excitement for independent films and hope distributors acquire them for release.

But the rise of Web streaming and video-on-demand services freed festivals from their geographic limitations. Suddenly, the likes of Sundance, Tribeca and South by Southwest were experimenting with simultaneous film premieres at their festivals and on websites like YouTube or cable on-demand systems.

Now comes a new development — the end of experimentation and the start of full-fledged digital distribution efforts by festival operators.

Tribeca announced Monday a significant expansion of its fledgling movie releasing arm, Tribeca Film, which was founded last year as a test in releasing movies both digitally and in theaters.

Tribeca Film plans to increase its annual output to 26 pictures, up from 11. Among this year’s batch — set for distribution in theaters, on on-demand services in 40 million homes and on Web services like iTunes — are films starring indie favorites like Zach Braff and Vincent Gallo.

“We learned very quickly that our brand can resonate beyond New York,” said Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca’s co-founder. “There are hundreds of wonderful films that never have the chance to reach a wider audience, and we want to seize any possible opportunity to change that.”

Sundance plans Sundance, which has tinkered with distribution partnerships for years, is expected to announce a formal year-round strategy for helping indie filmmakers gain access to digital distribution in the coming weeks. People with knowledge of the matter, speaking on the condition of anonymity to avoid conflicts with the powerful organization, said plans called for Sundance-branded channels on iTunes, Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, YouTube and others.

Sundance executives declined to comment, saying efforts were incomplete. A spokeswoman emphasized, however, that the Sundance model would substantially differ from the Tribeca Film effort by allowing filmmakers to retain full ownership of their work. Sundance, unlike most other festival operators, is a nonprofit that also runs workshops for budding filmmakers and playwrights.

“There is big opportunity in this marketplace, particularly for a pocket of films that may not always have huge theatrical

ICANN Continued from D1 This week and later in March, the nonprofit is meeting with foreign governments to debate the controversial launch of new Web suffixes, such as .gay, .god or .nazi. Also, this fall, the nonprofit is trying to keep its federal contract to oversee the Web’s master database of addresses — a power that alarms some foreign governments.

“There’s a deeper question of how the world is reacting to a small company — even a nonprofit — completely in charge of a key part of the Internet. Is that acceptable? There’s no 100 percent comfortable solution here,” said Steve Crocker, ICANN’s vice chairman, who lives in Bethesda, Md., and is the chief executive of Shinkuro, a technology company.

ICANN quietly wields vast influence over the Web, a power that is unknown to many Americans and elected officials. Some countries worry that the new wave of Web suffixes might be too controversial while others might require companies to spend vast

appeal but can take advantage of video on demand and other digital platforms,” said Rena Ronson, co-head of the Independent Film Group at United Artists Agency.

A void in the market Tribeca and Sundance are reaching beyond their traditional functions for reasons of economics and technology. Hammered in recent years by the recession and soaring marketing costs, art house distributors like Paramount Vantage and Picturehouse went out of business, leaving a void in the market.

“It was kind of genius for Tribeca to jump in because almost nobody was left to buy anything,” said Julien Nitzberg, director of “The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia,” a documentary about an eccentric Appalachian family that Tribeca Films successfully distributed last year.

At the same time, Web streaming and growth of video-on-demand systems in living rooms lowered the bar for distribution. Suddenly all kinds of indie films — not just the ones that showed strong theatrical promise — could be served up to wide audiences. The problem is that as digital offerings grow, these films, which come with little or no marketing budgets, have increasing difficulty breaking through the clutter. The likes of Tribeca and Sundance, organizations with built-in curato-

rial mechanisms and brands that mean something to cinephiles, see opportunity to help serve as guideposts, thus helping this corner of the industry evolve into a more vibrant business. Nitzberg credits the Tribeca banner with helping his movie attract enough attention on Amazon’s streaming service to bump “The Hurt Locker,” last year’s Best Picture Oscar winner, from the top slot.

Complex business Some festival executives are not on board with the distribution push. “People approach us all the time because we have a great brand, but distribution is a very different business,” said Janet Pierson, programmer of the film portion of the South

by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, which this year runs March 11 to 19.

Pierson has experience to back up her assertion. South by Southwest teamed with IFC Films in 2009 to make five movies available simultaneously to festival audiences in Austin and to payper-view television customers across the United States. She has since abandoned such efforts. “It gets very complicated very quickly,” she said. “We want to focus on being a great live event.”

But Pierson is in the minority. Other festival operators, like Film Independent, the force behind the Los Angeles Film Festival, are working to follow the path charted by Tribeca and

“There’s a deeper question of how the world is reacting to a small company — even a nonprofit — completely in charge of a key part of the Internet. Is that acceptable?”

— Steve Crocker, vice chairman, ICANN sums of money to protect their online brands and trademarks.

(Who gets .merck? The U.S. drug company? Or the German drug company with the same name?).

With some Middle East countries shutting down the Internet within their borders to curb uprisings, the question of who runs the Web is increasingly figuring into global foreign policy debates.

This tiny nonprofit can be especially provocative to a trade press that covers its every move, and a rival U.N. agency, the International Telecommunications Union. When the ITU, a 145year-old U.N. agency of nearly 200 nations and territories, held its annual meeting in October in Mexico, a Syrian emissary representing Arab states popped off against ICANN as if it were an enemy nation.

“Do not surrender to the ICANN!” yelled Syrian representative Nabil Kisrawi, during one of the conference’s sessions, according to a story in the Register, an online publication on Internet governance. “There is even a representative of the ICANN in this room!” Kisrawi said. (Kisrawi recently died.)

Other nations have been mobilizing against ICANN. China has been leading a campaign among dozens of developing nations to lobby the U.N. for oversight over ICANN, according to former and current ICANN officials. And a coalition of former Soviet states, led by a Russian minister, has been pushing the U.N. to obtain veto power over ICANN. Chris Disspain, a volunteer ICANN committee chairman and Australian domain name

Sundance. A group of AfricanAmerican-oriented festivals — the BronzeLens Film Festival in Atlanta, the ReelBlack Film Series in Philadelphia — recently announced an alliance to back the release of their movies in commercial theaters.

Tribeca’s distribution effort is unique in part because it has a major corporation, American Express, as a promotional sponsor. It has also made arrangements for its films to be shown on LodgeNet, a video-on-demand service that reaches about 1.8 million hotel rooms.

Ronson of United Talent said Tribeca was being taken seriously as a distributor in part because of the executives it has hired.

Within the last year, Nick Savva, formerly of Revolver Entertainment, has joined Tribeca as the head of acquisitions; Randy Manis, a co-founder of ThinkFilm, a production and distribution company known for releases like “Half Nelson,” is a consultant.

Tribeca, which will hold its festival from April 20 to May 1 in Manhattan, is expanding its distribution business as the art house market shows signs of a rebound. Acquisitions were brisk in January at the Sundance Film Festival and a few Oscar-nominated movies like “Black Swan” have turned into unlikely box office hits. But Rosenthal is not taking anything for granted.

“With the rapidly evolving landscape,” she said, “we all have to be extremely fast on our feet.”

executive, said having governments run the Web would be calamitous. “China, Syria, Iran, and Saudi Arabia and number of others have said in meetings they believe ICANN shouldn’t be in existence, or be replaced by some U.N. body,” he said. “Frankly, that would be a disaster.”

Some countries fear that the United States has, at the very least, the appearance of too much power by owning the contract to run the master database of Web addresses.

“One concern is that if the U.S. decides Syria is behaving badly, then they could make all websites using Syria’s country code domain — .sy — point to freedom of expression sites, for example,” said Avri Doria, an ICANN group chairman. “Countries say, ‘How can we subject ourselves to that?’ ” Crocker, the ICANN board’s vice chairman, said the chances of the U.S. tinkering with the master Web database are “nil.”

ICANN can only request changes to the master database; the U.S. government reviews those decisions; then, the company VeriSign actually executes the change.

T F Online publishers taking charge of ad sales

By Tanzina Vega

“We want to make sure that we’re controlling what happens with data. We want to make sure we control pricing. Control’s a very important message. We don’t want there to be a cottage industry built on our backs.”

New York Times News Service

Online publishers, who have long been dismayed with the revenue from some of their advertising, are increasingly taking matters into their own hands.

In the past month, CBS Interactive and Forbes.com have created their own ad exchanges to directly sell the lower-priced ads called remnants that typically run at the bottoms of their Web pages or on secondary pages.

These follow similar efforts

by NBC Universal, Weather. com and Turner Broadcasting Systems.

For publishers, setting up exchanges has several advantages: They cut out the middlemen (those third-party ad networks that often sell cheaper remnant ads for teeth-whitening or weight-loss products across a broad range of sites) and they allow the publishers greater control over consumer data.

“The publishers that are setting the ground rules right now are making higher CPMs,” said Michael Greene, an analyst at Forrester Research, referring to the cost per thousand impressions, a yardstick for the value of an ad.

He estimates that publishers who switch to their own exchanges can increase the CPM of such ads from around $1 to up to $5.

For years, many online publishers like newspapers, magazine companies and sites affiliated with television networks have sold the premium ads — like the large banners across the top of a Web page — themselves, then used third-party networks to sell the rest at a much lower price.

The switch in tactics comes at a time when online publishers are feeling a little more flush with the broad upswing in advertising and perhaps less anxious about squeezing every penny out of remnant ads.

“There is significant value in branded data,” said Kevin

— Nick Johnson, senior vice president of digital media sales at NBC Universal private exchange model, the goal is to make sure you’re delivering high-quality inventory to highquality advertisers,” said Greene of Forrester.

Cutting out middlemen

Kevin Gentzel, the chief revenue officer at Forbes, says there is increased advertising value in branded data. “A Forbes in-market car buyer has more value than just an in-market car buyer.”

Gentzel, the chief revenue officer at Forbes, which has not been selling through third-party networks. “A Forbes in-market car buyer has more value than just an in-market car buyer.”

Back to their roots The shift also takes many publishers back to their advertising roots: building a particular audience to sell to a particular advertiser, not just spots on a Web page. “If advertisers want to come in, we’re selling them the network,” said Nick Johnson, the senior vice president of digital media sales at NBC Universal. “We’re not selling them placements; we’re selling them people.”

These private networks are also being created at a time

when the federal government is investigating the surreptitious collection of personal data by third-party networks. Ad networks collect data on the users who visit publisher websites and sell user profiles to other advertisers. Ad networks typically use a small piece of code called a cookie to track the users across the Web. Publishers creating their own networks now keep that data for themselves, instead of providing it to ad networks that might sell against the publisher’s target audience on another site.

“We want to make sure that we’re controlling what happens with data,” said Johnson. “We want to make sure we control pricing. Control’s a very important message. We don’t want there to be a cottage industry

built on our backs.”

NBC announced its version of a private exchange, called the Universal Audience Platform, last July. In mid-February, CBS Interactive began its own private exchange. The platform, like most others, uses a technology called “real-time bidding” which allows advertisers to bid on specific users at specific times. The technology can tell advertisers data like what browser a person is using, the user’s IP address and location, the number of sites visited, and the current site the user is viewing. These facts help an advertiser place an ad in front of specific users at the optimum time.

For readers, the switch could mean fewer ads for herbal remedies and teeth-whitening, at least on some Web pages. “In the

Advertising agencies say they welcome publishers taking control. Brendan Moorcroft the chief executive of Cadreon, the agency trading desk at the Interpublic Group, said that top-tier publishers can create a spot for advertising “that aligns to our needs more greatly and more efficiently.”

Mike Cassidy, the chief executive and founder of Undertone, an ad network, said networks that sell low-quality advertisements will suffer the most. “Does this overall cause concern for networks? Absolutely,” Cassidy said. “Does it cause concern for every ad network? Absolutely not.”

Cassidy said that 18 of the company’s top 20 advertisers were Fortune 500 companies and that business had grown 40 percent in 2010. Undertone sells advertising in areas not typically available on most exchanges, including formats like full-page ads and video ads. “If you look through the history of mankind, middlemen have existed forever,” Cassidy said.

In November of last year, Weather.com announced its private exchange, called Category 5, through which it has sold ad

space to premium advertisers like Sprint, Chevrolet, HewlettPackard and Microsoft. Michael Kelly, the chief executive of the Weather Channel Companies, said the exchange helped the company protect sensitive consumer data from getting into the wrong hands. For instance, the company tracks users’ locations in order to provide local weather updates, Kelly said.

“By putting our inventory into ad networks, we lose control over that,” Kelly said.

Officials from the Federal Trade Commission declined to comment on the creation of private exchanges and publishers’ shift to data collection, but in a report issued in December the commission sought comment from the industry on how to better define the acceptable uses of marketing and data collection.

All of the publishers interviewed said that the data they collected was not personally identifiable and that data collection practices were in line with industry principles of self-regulation.

“I think the days of being reliant on third-party companies are numbered,” said Jason Kelly, the chief media officer for Admeld, a technology company that helps publishers manage their online advertising. “Agencies are investing in technology.

Publishers are now investing in technology. Publishers are looking to own the relationship with their clients.”

Music

the decade that it’s an impossibly hard place to make money.”

Even more challenging for startups, two very big players are expected to introduce cloud-type music services this year: Apple and Google.

Continued from D1 And those are just the big fish.

Since the end of last year, at least $57 million in venture capital has gone to digital music startups, ending a recent financing drought and setting up an array of young companies like Rdio, SoundCloud and RootMusic in an already crowded marketplace.

The heightened interest in a field that has had few winners and a vast graveyard of losers has left some longtime executives and analysts scratching their heads. Faced with thin margins, persistent piracy and expensive licensing deals from record companies, dozens of digital music startups have collapsed over the past decade, taking with them hundreds of millions of dollars in investment money. Even Apple, the largest music retailer, has long maintained that it makes little profit from its iTunes store, which has sold more than 10 billion songs since 2003.

“A number of the investors have not invested in digital music before,” said David Pakman, a venture capitalist who is the former chief executive of the download service eMusic. “Usually the ones who have, have learned over

Promising signs But more bullish investors point to technological developments and shifts in consumer behavior as signs that the business is about to turn a corner.

These changes include the migration of digital media libraries from personal computers to the remote storage of the “cloud,” as well as the explosive success of smart phone applications.

Pandora’s apps, for example, have been the biggest factor in driving that service to 80 million registered users, up from 46 million a year ago. (A basic, ad-supported service is free; the upgraded version, with no ads and higher-quality audio, is $36 a year.)

“Services like iTunes, Pandora and Spotify have shown that with the right product and the right business model, you can effectively monetize digital music, which is kind of new,” said Doug Barry of Selby Ventures, an early Pandora investor. “The

last time around it was mostly about file-sharing and limited monetization.”

Rdio, which streams music by subscription, was founded

by Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom, the entrepreneurs behind Skype. The company recently announced that it had raised $17.5 million, some from the founders’ own venture firm, Atomico.

SoundCloud, which distributes user-generated audio content, said in January that it had raised $10 million. Over the past several months Slacker, Songkick, TuneUp, FanBridge, RootMusic and 3G Multimedia have each brought in $2 million to $6 million, according to figures reported by the companies and in the news media.

THE BULLETIN • Tuesday, March 1, 2011 D5

What most new services do not have yet, however, is a critical mass of paying users, usually defined in the millions.

Investors look to the 20 million subscribers at both Netflix and Sirius XM Radio as signs that consumers are willing to pay for streaming content.

Yet those kinds of numbers have remained elusive throughout the history of digital music.

Rhapsody, a streaming service begun in 2001, has 750,000 subscribers; eMusic, which sells downloads, has 400,000. Spotify, which has free and paid versions, has 10 million users in Europe, but only 750,000 of them pay (the rate is about $15 a month), a ratio that concerns the record labels.

“People are tantalized by the notion that all music is going to be digital, and that there’s a massive global demand that is not being met,” said Dave Goldberg, a former general manager of Yahoo Music who is now chief executive of SurveyMonkey, an online survey company. “But I don’t know that there’s a good solution out there for anybody who’s rationally looking at this as an investment.”

Pandora’s public offering brings some much-needed market glamour to the digital music business. But even some of the bulls caution that despite hope on the horizon, more music startups will inevitably end up in the digital graveyard.

“I think it will get overfunded,” Barry said. “At the end of the day, there is a limit to how many people will pay a hefty subscription.

“But in that process,” he added, “great services will be built.”

clining service at the local Cherry Capital Airport.

According to data compiled

by Boyd, who has been hired as a consultant to the airport, Traverse City has the sixth-highest fares out of the top 175 airports in the United States — tickets cost about 23 cents per mile flown compared with about 16 cents at Newark, N.J. Local residents say they are driving to Detroit, Grand Rapids and Flint for cheaper fares out of those cities, cutting back on school activities that involve flying and skipping nonessential meetings. Businesses and resorts worry about lost revenue from conferences and visitors as tourists opt for more easily accessible destinations.

Airport officials and community leaders have met with Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan and airline executives to express their concerns. But they also have realistic expectations about the market forces driving higher fares.

“The airlines have been responsive, particularly Delta,” said Doug Luciani, president and chief executive of the chamber of commerce, adding that colleagues around the country are facing similar challenges.

“There’s been a lot of chat-

ter among the chambers asking, ‘What are you doing in your community about high fares?’ I think it’s a national phenomenon.”

Trebor Banstetter, a Delta spokesman, said the airline was addressing some of the issues raised by Traverse City residents, and regularly worked with cities to make sure airline service was not a barrier to attendance at local conventions and events. For example, he said, Delta replaced 50-seat jets with larger aircraft on flights to Lexington, Ky., last fall to support travel to the World Equestrian Games.

At the same time, airports are offering incentives to the airlines to add or maintain service, like reducing landing fees and terminal rents, a long-standing practice that may get more costly in the future as airlines make Darwinian decisions about where they can afford to fly.

“Communities are going to have to be innovative, responsive and flexible in order to maintain the tremendous service they’ve enjoyed,” said Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airline Association, whose members operate most of the flights to small cities in the United States.

He and other analysts said market forces could lead to cuts that politicians and even some airport executives would rather not address.

“We’re just operating too many airports,” Swelbar said, noting that 200 of the roughly 450 airports in the contiguous United States account for 97 percent of demand. “All airports require tremendous investment.

Have we really built a system that makes sense?”

But what makes sense from a national policy perspective, or an airline’s balance sheet, has big ramifications for residents of smaller communities that rely on local airport service. Driving two hours or more to catch a flight, factoring in unpredictable weather, traffic and airline delays, can be a major disincentive to fly. Visits to far-flung family members, vacations and business meetings involve a complicated set of trade-offs, potentially becoming financially or logistically out of reach.

The Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce, in a mostly resort community in northern Michigan, collected comments from more than 300 members last summer about the impact of rising airfares and de-

Continued from D1 The country’s network of plentiful regional airports connecting to big hubs was largely built in an era of $30-a-barrel oil. But oil prices are now more than triple that, so maintaining commercial airline service to underperforming airports may be unsustainable.

Still, any discussion of shrinking airline service is a political minefield, as illustrated by the recent furor over proposals to reduce the subsidies for the federal Essential Air Service program, which provides $200 million annually to help pay for flights to 154 rural markets.

While some government officials and lawmakers acknowledge that residents of many of those communities could drive to other nearby airports, Congress has been reluctant to overhaul the eligibility rules for the program.

“Given that there are 535 interested parties on Capitol Hill, I don’t see anyone stepping up and wanting to close an airport in some congressman’s district,” said William Swelbar, a research engineer with MIT’s International Center for Air

Chris Justema, president of Redmond-based Cascade Lakes Brewing Co., stands beside a tank that was brewing Blonde Bombshell ale last year. The brewery has since installed a new brew house system with larger capacity.

Brewery Continued from D1 With more beer available, the brewery is expanding distribution to Idaho, and to Boise in particular. Cascade Lakes currently makes its beer available at restaurants, hotels and stores around Oregon and southwest Washington.

And the beer will improve, too.

“With the new equipment, we’re going to be able to produce better-tasting ales,” Justema said.

He and the other 100 or so employees are thrilled when they consider the brewery’s newly acquired abilities, he said.

The brewery decided to expand distribution eastward to Idaho and especially to Boise because, Justema said, the city has “a fastgrowing craft market segment,” and people there are young, energetic “beer explorers” who would be interested in beers such as those Cascade Lakes makes.

Soon the brewery will add a salesperson to work in Idaho, to

work alongside its newly hired Oregon sales manager, Justema said.

Jon Stark, manager of Redmond Economic Development Inc., said he was pleased to hear about the upgrades.

“Certainly the beer itself is of good quality,” Stark said. “It doesn’t surprise me that they have new market opportunities and that they’re growing. I’m really happy that they’re having an opportunity to expand.”

Cascade Lakes is Redmond’s only commercialized brewery, Stark added, “and we’re happy that they continue to call Redmond home.”

The company, Central Oregon’s second oldest brewery after Deschutes Brewery, has five brewpubs across Central Oregon.

Last year, Cascade Lakes was the 13th-largest producer of beer by the barrel in the state, out of 94, according to data from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission.

ow, it’s true that my husband and I fall into that most enviable of categories, “empty nesters.” But bear in mind, you busy parents who covet this classification with a bit of jealous anticipation when the parenting process is un-fun, there’s one hard, cold truth you are not considering: Busy child-free people require food, too. Some of them at regular intervals.

Can you imagine?

So even though I’m feeding fewer mouths on a day-inday-out basis, the demand for consistent meal hours has not abated.

The minute you meet Doug and Leanne Smith at their Sisters home, you know they believe in their house’s beauty and functionality. They have good reason to be proud.

“We are totally off the grid,” exclaims an exuberant Leanne, a retired U.S. Department of Energy chemist. “This house is totally powered with the latest renewable energy technologies. It provides all our electricity, heat and water needs.”

Doug Smith, a former DOE engineer, and his wife did their homework before deciding that a timber frame home would be the most energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing. This decisive and scientific couple retired from the DOE knowing how important it is to tread lightly on the Earth’s resources.

“It is something we firmly believe in — we’re committed to renewable energy,” explains Doug, as he points out the 27 solar panels on the roof. “These solar systems are proven technology; we’re confident with the physics.

We use the electric and solar hot water panels to complement our passive solar design.”

When building their dream home in 2008, the Smiths, who had lived in a log home in Colorado, say they already knew a log home would not be energyefficient. They sought out what they believe is the most snug home.

“This is structurally superior to a log home. We use SIPS (structurally insulated panels), which is twice the R-value (insulation rating) of a conventionally built home. It’s tight, our walls are about 6 inches thick with ICF’s (insulated concrete forms),” explains Leanne, who with her husband also spent weeks researching the best placement of their home to maximize passive solar heating.

GARDEN

In our dry clime, consider trees that sip

By Leon Pantenburg For The Bulletin

While the snow flies is a good time to do design work in your garden, yard or landscaping. But as you look out on that blank or semi-finished scene, one of the considerations is what trees to plant later. While aesthetics are generally the first consideration, you also need to think about water.

Are you considering installing a drought-tolerant xeriscape with the idea of eventually not watering at all? Or are you willing to water turf, and want a tree that can get by with only that supplemental amount of moisture?

With natural precipitation less than 5 inches during the April-through-October growing season, according to the Oregon State University Extension Service, water conservation in landscapes is very important.

DIANE’S GERMAN POTATO SALAD

What kind of potato?

GREEK POTATO SALAD WITH LEMON VINAIGRETTE Makes 4 to 6 servings.

The blend of ingredients in this salad is delightful and satisfying.

Kind of like a classic Greek salad with a little more substance.

1½ lbs red, white, or Yukon gold potatoes, quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into ¾-inch slices ¼ C fresh lemon juice About ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper 1 red sweet bell pepper, roasted, peeled and cut into thin strips 1 yellow sweet bell pepper, roasted, peeled and cut into thin strips 1 C Kalamata olives, pitted ½ lg red onion, halved, then sliced into thin strips 1 TBS fresh oregano, coarsely chopped 1 ⁄3 C extra virgin olive oil 3 TBS white wine vinegar 10 cherry tomatoes, halved 1 C feta cheese, crumbled Steam the potatoes in a steamer set over boiling water just until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place the potatoes in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Add the roasted peppers, olives, onion and oregano and gently toss again. Add enough of the olive oil and vinegar to coat the ingredients, then toss again with the cherry tomatoes and feta. Adjust the seasoning, adding additional salt and pepper if necessary. Serve while still warm. May also be chilled and served at a later time. The salad will definitely improve in flavor as it sits in the refrigerator.

Using the right kind of potato can mean the difference between well-defined chunks and mush. The potato of choice is a lower-starch variety, typically called “new” potatoes.

Starch, we all know, is a prominent part of a potato’s composition. Actually, starch granules. The amount and size of starch granules in any given potato is determined by variety and growing conditions. And it’s the amount and size of those starch granules that determines how a potato behaves in your salad recipe.

When a potato is heated, the starch granules absorb water from surrounding tissue and swell. The common russet (also known as Idaho russet or simply baking potato), contains relatively large starch granules.

They are capable of absorbing more water from around the cells, which produces their characteristic dry, fluffy texture. This is why the russet Burbank is considered excellent for baking and mashed potato dishes, but not the best choice for potato salads, since they tend to fall apart when manipulated too much.

I happen to love the Yukon golds and similar yellow-fleshed varieties, which have a lower starch content than the russet, but still high enough to provide a tender texture. They also have that glorious golden yellow flesh which subliminally hints at butter.

Lower-starch varieties like red potatoes and some round white varieties have even smaller starch granules than the Yukon. So they aren’t absorbing a high amount of moisture from the surrounding tissues, which means that their cells don’t separate and produce that baked potato fluffiness. Along with the Yukon gold, these are the guys you want to use for most potato salads.

— Jan Roberts-Dominguez

Red potatoes, often called “new” potatoes, below right, often are the first choice for potato salad due to their lower starch content, but don’t neglect Yukon golds, which hold up well and provide color to the dish.

Makes about 6 servings.

There are LOTS of German potato salad recipes floating around. This is one I obtained more than 35 years ago, and I still love it. Thank you, Diane Zube!

10 slices bacon, diced 2 lbs (about 6 med) red potatoes 1 egg, beaten 1 ⁄3 C granulated sugar

Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but a thin layer of the bacon fat; set aside.

In a large pot with salted water to cover, cook the potatoes until just tender. Drain and cool until easy to handle. Peel and cut into ½inch cubes.

While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the egg, sugar, flour, mustard, salt, and pepper in the skillet used to cook the bacon (the skillet can be warm, but not hot when you

½ C white wine vinegar 1 ⁄3 C water 1 med red onion, cut into thin rings

add the egg mixture). Add the vinegar and water and whisk again.

Place the pan over medium heat, scraping up all the cooked-on bits of bacon, and stirring constantly until the mixture heats and thickens.

This will take about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Place the cooked and cubed potatoes in a bowl, along with the cooked bacon and the onion rings.

Pour the dressing over the potatoes, mix well, season with additional salt and pepper if necessary and serve while warm.

ROASTED POTATOES AND GARLIC IN MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE WITH SWEET ONION AND BABY ARUGULA Makes 8 generous servings.

A zesty-mustardy side dish to grilled halibut, chicken or pork tenderloin.

To lighten up the salad, you could roast strips of red and green sweet bell peppers along with the potatoes.

2 lbs white or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into ½-inch wedges 10 to 20 garlic cloves, peeled

Thinkstock

About ¼ C plus 2 TBS extra virgin olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1½ TBS whole grain mustard

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Scatter the potato wedges and garlic cloves in a large rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the garlic is richly toasted.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup of olive oil with the mustard and vinegar; set aside.

1½ TBS red wine vinegar 1 sm sweet onion, thinly sliced 4 C baby arugula leaves

Remove the pan from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly. Using a wide spatula, remove the potatoes and garlic and place them in a bowl. Add the onion slices and arugula leaves.

Pour the mustard vinaigrette into the roasting pan and scrape and stir up all the cookedon bits of potato and garlic. Now pour that flavorful vinaigrette into the bowl and toss gently with the potatoes, onions and arugula. Serve while still warm.

Know your salt and use it wisely when in the kitchen

By Carole Kotkin McClatchy-Tribune News Service

A few years ago I picked up a 1-pound package of salt at a gourmet store. When the cashier rang it up, I was shocked: $30.

“You’ve made a mistake,” I protested. “This is just salt.”

“This fleur de sel just arrived from France,” she replied. “And it’s like no other salt you’ve tasted.” And she was right.

Gourmet or not, salt is irreplaceable in the kitchen, bringing out nuances in all kinds of foods.

I use table salt in baking, but kosher salt is a mainstay in my kitchen for cooking. Both are mined from rock deposits, but kosher salt contains no additives, dissolves quickly and has a

wonderful tactile quality.

Sea salt, as the name suggests, is made by evaporating sea water.

Here are three popular types: Sel Gris: From Guerande, on France’s Atlantic coast, it gets its gray color and distinct flavor from minerals in the clay bottom.

Fleur de Sel: Considered the king of salt, it is raked from layers of tiny crystals (“flowers of salt”) that form on ocean ponds in France’s Brittany region. It has a clear, sparkling flavor and is best used sparingly on foods just before serving.

Maldon: Made in England by boiling sea water, this delicately flavored finishing salt has distinctive crystals that look like tiny pieces of shaved ice.

Salt is a critical ingredient in the kitchen and can be used to bring out the taste of chocolate or just give a dish a little extra bite and edge. Here flake salt is used to top chicken paillard with tarragon.

A guide to pears

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Curvaceous, sweet, in an array of colors from bright green to tawny red to sunset yellow and with an unusual texture that changes as it ripens, the pear may be one of the most beautiful and satisfying of winter fruits.

Pears are versatile, a tasty addition to salads, main dishes or desserts, and they are a good source of vitamin C, providing 10 percent of the daily requirement.

They’re also an excellent source of fiber, providing 24 percent of the daily requirement.

Most common varieties of pears originated in Europe, specifically France and Belgium, which is one reason pears are a favorite ingredient in French cuisine. At Pastiche Bistro and Wine Bar, a French-style cafe in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood, chef-owner Michael Engel is definitely a fan, describing the pear’s unique taste and texture as “unctuous” or buttery, setting the pear above its more pedestrian companion winter fruit, the apple.

“Pears have a distinct mouthfeel,” he says. “Apples are kind of boring that way; they always feel the same. A pear will move around in your mouth a little, and you’ll taste different things, just like a good wine.”

So if they’re so great, why aren’t we eating pears all the time?

Self-professed “pear nerd” Cristie Mather, director of communications at Pear Bureau Northwest, the collective of 1,600 growers in Oregon and Washington that produces 84 percent of the nation’s pears, thinks part of the answer is in the fruit’s distinction as a “treat.”

“They’re not seen as an everyday fruit. They’re exalted,” she

Poached pear and semolina cake at Pastiche Bistro in Milwaukee. Chef Mike Engel says that although the recipe appears complicated, “it is easy to do, very forgiving, and adaptable to other fruits both fresh and dried.” says. “People think, ‘Oh, that’s for special occasions.’”

Is it ripe?

A more likely reason is the pear’s state of ripeness when purchased.

Pears are picked “green” and must sit out on the counter for a day or two, or longer, to reach peak ripeness. This delayed gratification makes it difficult to plan a meal around pears if the dish depends on the pear being perfectly ripe.

For impatient cooks, however, an advantage of pears is they can be used in certain recipes before they are ripe and still produce fine taste.

Underripe pears can be poached in simple syrup, left plain or fa-

vored with sweet spices, and emerge with their characteristically smooth texture.

Served with a bit of whipped cream, ice cream or caramel sauce, the poached pear is an elegant dessert — and takes less than half an hour. What’s more, poached pears are almost impossible to ruin, given the fruit’s stable culinary properties.

The best way to test for ripeness is to apply gentle pressure to the neck of the pear, Mather says.

If it yields, then the pear is ready to eat. Pears ripen from the inside out; waiting until the body of the pear is soft will mean the pear is overripe for eating, but it may still be suitable for some cooking applications.

Mather points out that the pear’s tardiness to ripen is a boon for the purposes of storage and contributes to its relatively long season — from September through February for most varieties and almost year-round in the case of red and green D’Anjou pears.

“Pears are very sensitive to cold,” Mather says. “They only begin to convert their starches to sugar when they reach a specific core temperature (32 degrees). So if you purchase underripe pears in the grocery store and take them home and put them in the refrigerator, they are not going to ripen.”

On the other hand, once the pears ripen, they can be placed in the fridge to retard the process and extend their shelf life.

A pear is a pear is a pear, is it not? Would a pear by any other name taste as sweet?

Yes and yes. While most varieties of pears can be substituted with success in recipes, each kind has its own properties that are helpful to know when shopping.

Dates in parentheses indicate when the variety is in season.

• D’Anjou (September — July) Green D’Anjou pears, recognized by their egg-like shape, stay green when fully ripe. With moist, sweet and dense flesh, the D’Anjou is excellent for snacking or baking.

• Red D’Anjou (September — May) Sweet and succulent when ripe, red D’Anjou pears are similar to their green counterparts. The red skin is a colorful addition to salads, desserts and main dishes.

• Bartlett (August — February) The Bartlett pear turns from bright green to golden yellow as it ripens. Very juicy and sweet, with aromatic flesh, it is used most for canning and for salads or desserts.

• Red Bartlett (August — January) The Red Bartlett turns bright red as it ripens and is similar in flavor and texture to the yellow Bartlett.

• Bosc (September — April) Bosc pears have long, tapered necks and skin that is naturally russet to a cinnamon brown. Dense, fragrant, and honey-sweet flesh with a texture that holds its shape when heated, the Bosc is a good choice for baking, poaching, grilling and roasting.

• Comice (September — March) Comice (pronounced “co-meece”) pears have a full, round shape with a short neck and stem, and are usually green, sometimes with a red blush. They are very succulent, with a custard-like texture and mellow sweetness. They are best as an eating pear and go well with cheese. They don’t hold up well in cooking.

• Concorde (September — February) Introduced within the last 10 years, the Concorde has a tall, elongated neck and firm, dense flesh, with skin that is golden green, usually with golden yellow russets. Its flavor has vanilla undertones and, like the Bosc, it has a firm texture that holds up well when baking, grilling or poaching.

• Forelle (October — March) The Forelle, known for its smaller size and unique yellow-green skin, is tasty sweet with a crisp texture even when ripe. Ideal for kids’ lunches and baked desserts.

• Seckel (September — February) Seckel pears are another small variety, recognized by their maroon skin, with olive-green coloring. With their crunchy flesh and ultra-sweet flavor, they are great for snacks, pickling or garnishing.

• Starkrimson (August — January) Starkrimson pears, another new variety introduced within the past 10 years, have a brilliant crimson red skin and a thick, stocky stem. Juicy and sweet, Starkrimsons have smooth flesh and a distinct floral aroma. Cristie Mather of the Pear Bureau Northwest says this pear was a big hit with food writers at a recent conference.

CARAMEL AND POACHED PEAR SEMOLINA CAKE Makes one 9-inch cake.

4 ripe pears, peeled, halved and cored 1 bottle (750 milliliters) of sweet white wine such as riesling 2½ C sugar (divided) 2 vanilla beans, split in half and scraped well Zest and juice of 1 orange

(zest in long strips) Zest and juice of 1 lemon (zest in long strips) 4 star anise 2 cinnamon sticks Pinch of ground cardamom 3 C whole milk ¼ tsp salt ½ C farina or Cream of Wheat

Place pears in a large saucepan with wine, 2 cups sugar, vanilla beans and seeds, orange and lemon zests and juices, anise, cinnamon and cardamom. Liquid should cover pears.

(Don’t worry about having too much as it can be reused either for pears or fruit compote.)

Bring pears to a simmer and cook until tender, about 20 minutes, depending on their size and ripeness. It is better to overcook them slightly than to undercook them. When done, set aside to cool.

To make cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Warm a 9-inch cake pan by placing it in the oven as it preheats.

In medium saucepan, bring milk and salt to a simmer, then add farina or Cream of Wheat, stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue to stir, making sure mixture doesn’t scorch, until it thickens. Remove from heat, add remaining ½ cup sugar and vanilla extract and let cool about 15 minutes.

Make caramel. When it is a deep amber color, pour it carefully into warmed cake pan, tilting pan around to coat bottom evenly.

Pat pears dry and arrange on bottom of prepared cake pan, cut side up, with stem end to-

1½ tsp good-quality vanilla extract 3 lg eggs, lightly beaten ¾ C golden raisins, plumped (see note) CARAMEL: ½ C sugar Juice of 1 lemon ¼ C water

ward center and bottom end toward rim.

Stir beaten eggs and golden raisins into cooked farina or Cream of Wheat mixture.

Scrape mixture over pears in cake pan and bake until a knife or toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes.

Let cake rest in pan 10 to 15 minutes, then run a knife around inside of pan to loosen.

Invert it, still in pan, onto serving plate.

Carefully remove pan and let cake cool to room temperature. Serve with sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.

To make caramel: Place ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring only enough to moisten sugar as mixture comes to a boil. Increase heat to high, and as sugar begins to brown, gently swirl pan to make sure it caramelizes evenly.

Be careful, as mixture is very hot and will stick to your skin if it spatters.

When caramel is a deep amber color, remove from heat and continue with main cake recipe.

Note: Plump raisins by soaking them in water to cover for at least 30 minutes or in boiling water to cover for 10 minutes.

Drain before using.

Smiths Continued from E1

Reclaimed wood While the Smiths can quote numbers and scientific calculations, such as the angle of the sun at a certain time during the day, depending on the season, they aren’t just scientists when it comes to this house.

They use a modern decor style, while also incorporating antiques.

Perhaps the most broadly used antique in their house is the reclaimed wood they used from Leanne’s uncle’s barn, which had blown down in the small Oregon town of Stayton.

“That barn was over 100 years old when it went down, so we used it for the living room floors, the entry ceiling here, the fireplace mantel and the kitchen cupboards,” says Leanne pointing to the beautiful distressed Douglas fir wood.

The Smiths say they love how the old wood complements the timber frame in their 2,850square-foot house. They believe good design is harmony, and there’s no better design than nature.

Taking an inspirational cue from their 27-acre property, they use the colors from the outside and bring them into their home. Leanne learned to glaze her walls — a specialty painting technique — and uses muted brown and beige tones throughout the downstairs area.

As you would expect from this environmentally conscious couple, they do not have lawns or manicured gardens; they prefer the natural landscape, and they let nature take over with its wild grasses and juniper trees.

Efficiency Glass blocks let natural light into the Smiths’ downstairs master bedroom. claimed wood in their home, they were also able to procure additional wood from an old, defunct mill in Eugene to use in other rooms in their home.

“I love the texture of the old wood,” says Leanne, who has a discerning eye when it comes to the original character of woods.

“I had one visitor here, and she saw the mars in the wood floor, and she said, ‘Oh what a shame.’

But I think all these imperfections in the wood is what gives it warmth and charm.”

The overall effect of the antique woods makes the house feel very warm and comfortable. Combine the old woods with the antiques the Smiths have collected over the decades, and this three-bedroom home comes alive with personality.

In the Smiths’ home office, they used board and batten siding for the walls. Coupled with the antique oak desk they purchased from the old Durango,

Colo., train depot, the look is historic.

Special touches The Smiths didn’t just use reclaimed wood; they also found recycled stainless steel, which they used for a kitchen countertop/eating bar. A special chemical on the stainless steel, Leanne says, gave the metal a shiny black patina. The kitchen’s other countertops use a hand-chiseled granite, which fits in nicely with the reclaimed kitchen cupboards, modeled after the mission style design with square wooden pegs. Above the eating bar are stunning, handblown, hanging amber glass light fixtures made by Sisters glass artist Susie Zeitner, who also made a larger and equally stunning ceiling lamp for the dining room area.

Because this is a timber frame home with exposed beams, the living room, dining room and kitchen have an open design, which is perfect for entertaining.

The Smiths’ love the look of the exposed beams that can be seen throughout the house.

“I think the exposed timber and trusses bring an old-world look to the house, but it’s not just the beauty. These timber frames are structurally superior; they carry the structural load, which eliminates the need for loadbearing walls,” says Leanne,

Leanne Smith looks over the bank of batteries in the energy room in the carriage house. pointing up at the large timber beams above the living room.

“The timber frame uses mortise and tenon (joints) with hardwood pegs. This type of joinery of wood has been used for centuries by woodworkers because of the strength and simplicity. Timberline Lodge (at Mount Hood) is also a good example of timber frame construction.”

The couple’s master bedroom is simple, and the headboard and footboard of the bed were also fashioned from that old reclaimed barn wood.

The master bathroom also leads into the large master walk-in closet, which brilliantly houses the washer and dryer, eliminating the need for a laundry room. Leanne found the cupboards for the laundry room and closet at the ReStore shop in Sisters, and also used paint she found there to paint the interior of this large closet/laundry room.

Off the foyer is a wooden floating staircase with black wrought-iron railing. Along the staircase walls, Leanne has a collection of antique irons and

railroad ties.

Upstairs the Smiths built a sitting room with a low-slung ceiling, which leads into the guest bathroom and guest bedroom. The low ceiling still gives ample space and headroom, and was done intentionally to make the house more energy efficient.

“Any time you have really high ceilings, like cathedral ceilings, you start to lose so much heat,” explains Leanne. “Plus I like the cozy, warm feeling you get when you’re up here.”

Her guest bedroom is filled with Western antiques and family heirloom antique quilts. She even designed one open wall pocket to house her antique quilt collection.

While the Smiths love the way their entire house turned out and how well it functions, they say their favorite place in the home is a simple little nook off the kitchen, with two comfortable wicker chairs, which they call their reading area. With windows providing natural light, and with a dynamic view of the Three Sisters, these vora-

Leanne closes the door of the airlock entryway and points out the temperature differences between the outdoors, the entryway and the living room area, and stresses that there’s no forced air heating or air conditioning in this home. The heating all comes through radiant heated floors, and because of strategic placement of the house, and thoughtful placement of each and every window, there is no need for air conditioning, as the house is snug and stays warm in the winter and cool in the summer. With all the work the Smiths did on their home, it’s not surprising it won the top (platinum) certification granted from Earth Advantage, a Portland based group that rates eco-friendly homes.

“We’re off the grid, and some people come here and are shocked we still have a dishwasher and a microwave,” says Leanne laughing. “We don’t live in a closet just because we’re off the grid, and we can still have modern appliances, too.”

Doug also shares in his wife’s enthusiasm for having an efficient and yet fully functional home, and though it cost about $50,000 to keep it off the grid, he calculates approximately 50 percent of the cost was returned to them in tax credits.

“We don’t have utility bills, so I figure in six to seven years, we’ll break even. But we didn’t do this to save money, we did this because we believe in renewable energy,” explained Doug, a native Oregonian who says he’s all too happy to be back home again, in this very special green home.

Next week: What’s in store?

Liz Douville takes a look at garden trends for the coming season.

Gardeners, start your seed growing

Trees Continued from E1 OSU says the typical Central Oregon resident uses more than 50 percent of his or her water each year outside for landscaping.

As in all things related to gardening in this area, there are no easy answers. Central Oregon has countless micro-climates (unique growing environments) and there may be several within your yard. This micro-climate situation means that a tree that would thrive on the south side of your house in the sun and heat, might wither and die in the deep shade and cooler temperatures on the north side.

And, since this area is the High Desert, that further limits tree choices to those that will thrive in the harsh, arid climate.

Among the first things to consider when choosing a tree to plant, according to Amy Jo Detweiler, horticulturist with the OSU Extension Service in Deschutes County, is how much water an individual tree will require over the long run.

“The natives will be at the top of the list as far as surviving with little water,” Detweiler said. “But all the new plants, native or not, will have to have some supplemental watering at the start.”

Part of the consideration, Detweiler said, is the tree’s location, and what its main purpose will be.

“If the tree is to be part of a privacy screen, you’ll want a conifer that stays dense year round,” Detweiler said. “If you like fall colors and shade in the summer, but don’t want shade in the winter, then you’ll want a deciduous tree with leaves that turn.”

Traditionally, shade trees are deciduous, Detweiler said, and that also means you will be raking leaves in the fall. But a deciduous tree can shade an area in the summer, then drop its leaves for winter, allowing the sun through.

“What kind of shade do you want?” Detweiler said. “Do you want deep, dark shade from the summer light and heat, or filtered light? That choice will help you decide which tree you want for that spot.”

Finally, consider how fast the tree grows and its mature size.

In some instances, Detweiler said, people will choose fastgrowing, short-lived trees to accomplish a shade or privacy goal quickly. Some of these trees are planted with the idea of removal at some future time.

“Ponderosa pines do very well around here, but they can be huge when they grow up,” Detweiler said. “If you’re doing a long-term landscape plan, you have to consider how big you want that tree to be.”

With those considerations in mind, here is a list of trees that have the potential to do well in the Central Oregon climate, with minimal water use, according to the extension service: Conifers that don’t need supplemental watering after establishment: • Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa): Leaves (needles) are retained year to year. The trees have reddish bark, and ponderosas have a long life span relative to most other plant species and a moderate growth rate. At maturity, a typical ponderosa can be more than 200 feet tall, with a maximum height at 20 years of 40 feet.

If spring-flowering quince is not on your list of favorites because its thorns may prick you, you will be happy to know there’s a new no-thorn variety available this year.

The new Double Take series of thornless quinces features three flower colors — red, pink and orange hues. In addition, the flowers contain higher petal counts, and resemble camellias more than classic quince. A breeding team at North Carolina State University developed the variety for Spring Meadow Nursery, which markets new plants under the Proven Winners ColorChoice brand.

Also known as Chaenomeles, or Japanese quince, the decidu-

• Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis): Junipers vary in size and shape from tall trees to columnar or low spreading shrubs with long trailing branches.

They are evergreen with scalelike leaves and have blue berries. They are often aromatic.

• Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta latifolia): Lodgepole pine is known for its long, slender trunk and high, thin crown. The average mature size is 24 inches in diameter and 70 feet high, although trees only 5 inches in diameter are often 50 feet high.

Recommended deciduous trees that need some supplemental watering: • White alder (Alnus rhombifolia): The white alder is identified by its smooth, steel-gray bark (on young trees) which becomes scaly and ridged with age. It also has conspicuous, cone-like features — ¼ to ½ inch long — which bear the seeds, and which are known as strobiles.

• Bitter cherry (Prunus emarginata): The trees have thin, dark reddish brown or bronze bark, which tends to break and curl

cross-wise, and the bark has prominent horizontal lenticels, or pores. A bitter cherry can grow to 50 feet tall and 18 inches in diameter, with an oblong crown.

• Black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa): Black cottonwood is the largest and tallest of the poplars, growing 2 to 3 feet in diameter and well over 100 feet in height. The bark is gray, and the leaves are dark green.

New, thornless flowering quince available for spring

By Kathy Van Mullekom

It’s time to start planning this year’s garden, and for many that means starting their plants from seed.

For veteran gardeners, this step may sound elementary, but for those of you just beginning to dabble in gardening it would be a huge help if you first laid out your garden to scale on graph paper. Use quarter-inch graph paper and let one square equal 1 foot. It’s nearly foolproof. Once you know how much space you have for a garden, go ahead and make your wish list of crops.

Flip through seed catalogs or visit companies’ websites.

Burpee, Parks, and Thompson and Morgan are some good ones with which to start.

When investigating, keep the length of your particular growing season in mind.

This is the time between the last spring frost and first fall frost. Believe me, investing time and money into a crop that has no chance of maturing before frost is no fun. If your list includes perennials, you’ll need to know your USDA hardiness zone. If you aren’t sure, take a moment and look it up, or call your Cooperative Extension.

When investigating varieties, don’t forget to look into disease resistance and the plant’s growing habit, such as whether it’s a vine or spacesaving bush. For folks with limited space but big gardening appetites, space-saving varieties allow you to plant more of them. Keep harvest times in mind, too. Try not to have all of your harvest come

due at the same time. Plant a few varieties that will give you early, mid- and late- season crops. Tomatoes are a perfect example.

Once you have narrowed down the varieties, get ordering or shopping early so you have the best selection. Once you’ve got your seeds, the fun begins.

First, separate the seed packets into piles based on whether they get sown indoors or directly into the garden. The latter should simply be stored where they won’t freeze, roast or get wet.

The pile of seeds you’ll be sowing indoors will require a little more work. Turn the packets over and read the back. Look for wording that gives you the number of weeks they should be sown indoors before the last spring frost, then separate them into piles. Create a pile for six weeks, another for seven weeks and so on. Some packets may give a broader time frame, such as six to eight weeks. Make piles for those, too.

Many packets of perennials will tell you only how long it will be before the seed germinates.

For those, take the time it germinates — for example, “two weeks for germination” — and add six weeks. This now tells you to sow the seeds indoors about eight weeks before transplanting. For seeds with no instructions (and you may come across some), aim for six weeks before the last frost. If necessary, adjust your indoor planting calendar next winter.

ous shrub flowers before leaves appear, creating an eye-catching contrast of colorful blooms on bare wood.

Flowering quince is cold hardy in USDA zones 5-8, and likes part to full sun. It blooms February through April, depending on your climate conditions.

Drought tolerant after its roots establish themselves the first year, the plant is fruitless so it makes no mess that you need to clean up in your yard.

Key features of the Double Take series include: • Scarlet Storm with dark red, velvety double flowers that occasionally bloom again and again.

Flowers appear all the way out to the tips of its branches, unlike many flowering quinces.

• Pink Storm with 2-inch

flowers that resemble sweetheart roses in a salmon or coral color.

• Orange Storm with bright orange camellia-like blooms that occasionally bloom again and again.

In addition to garden centers,

Straightforward, classic chocolate pie

By Julie Rothman The Baltimore Sun

Sharon Friedman, of Baltimore, was looking for a recipe for chocolate cream pie like the one that was served at a local deli in the 1960s. I received quite a few recipes for this pie.

Since Friedman did not provide me with much detail about the pie, I decided to test a recipe that was sent in by Teresa Sullivan of Reisterstown, Md., because it seemed straightforward and classic. She said that she found it on the Hershey’s chocolate website, and it immediately became a family favorite.

To save time, I made it using a good-quality store-bought crust, which was fine.

RECIPE FINDER

RECIPE REQUEST: Regina McClune from Columbia, Md., is looking for a chicken wing recipe that she cut from a newspaper within the past year but lost. It began with dredging the wings in a small amount of flour and then cooking them at a high temperature until crispy. The wings were then coated with a sweetand-sour sauce after cooking.

If you are looking for a recipe or can answer a request, write to Julie Rothman, Recipe Finder, The Baltimore Sun, 501 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, MD 21278. Please put each recipe on a separate piece of paper with your name, address and daytime phone number. Please list the ingredients in order of use and note the number of servings each recipe makes.

VELVETY CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE Makes 8 servings.

1 9-inch baked and cooled pastry shell (graham cracker crust may be substituted) ¾ C sugar 1/3 C cocoa 1/3 C cornstarch ¼ tsp salt

3 eggs, beaten 3 C milk ¾ C chocolate chips (dark or semisweet) 3 TBS butter 2 tsp vanilla extract Whipped cream for topping

Prepare pie crust, cool Stir together sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt in medium saucepan. Combine eggs and milk; gradually stir into sugar mixture, blending well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk, until mixture begins to thicken and just comes to a boil. Remove from heat.

Add chocolate chips, butter and vanilla. Stir until chips and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour into prepared crust. Immediately press plastic wrap onto pie surface. Refrigerate three to four hours or until firm. Garnish with whipped topping.

Made in the shade: Try these plants that thrive in less light MARTHA STEWART A decade ago, when I bought my farm in Bedford, I was faced with a vast blank canvas of land on which there were no gardens to speak of.

There were several run-down houses and crumbling outbuildings and some important (albeit neglected) trees, but little else of horticultural value.

Except — and this was extremely important — there was excellent soil, good drainage and a diversity of growing conditions; and locations ranging from sunny to light shade to deep shade, and everything in between. It was heaven for me — so many new places on which to “paint” with plants, trees, shrubs, paths, roads, trellises and arbors, and even allees.

My daughter, Alexis, chose the smallest structure on the property (named the Tenant House) as her weekend home. This tiny cottage, dating to the 1880s, was flanked on one side by a semicircle of towering spruce trees and on the other by deciduous maples and ash trees, all of which cast a good amount of filtered shade on the neglected area around the house.

After renovating the home and laying a random bluestone path around it, I decided to plant the entire area with shade-loving plants. I began collecting an assortment of plants that would thrive and enhance the storybook quality of the place. Indeed, in a few short years, the plants have grown and multiplied — and the gardens appear to have been there for decades.

These days, climbing hydrangeas are luxuriously working their way up the trunks of trees; the myriad greens of the numerous and varied plants are accentuated by deeppurple smoke bush and waxy white Oyama magnolias with magenta centers. Giant silvery and chartreuse hostas accent, rather than obscure, the lower-lying epimediums, wild gingers, ferns, pulmonarias and hellebores.

Martha plants Victoria Lady ferns in her shade garden.

I have my favorite local and mailorder sources for these types of plants, and I have posted them online at marthastewart.com/shade-plantresources. The collection tends to grow year by year, spilling over into newly created beds elsewhere on the property, which also benefit from the frequent divisions made necessary by the healthy growing habits of these extraordinary plants.

Now that I have become more knowledgeable about shade, I find myself “sketching” other great

swaths of greenery here and there on the farm and planning the purchase of this or that heuchera, Solomon’s seal, anemone or cypripedium. Wish me good planting!

Some of my favorite shade plants • The Victoria Lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina “Victoriae”) is one of the most unusual ferns in my shade garden. Each leaflet crisscrosses

with the next, forming dozens of X’s that seem to parade down the stem.

As a final flourish, the end of each stem is dramatically crested.

• Tall spruce trees create high, light shade.

• I love the unique foliage of Syneilesis aconitifolia, which is also called shredded umbrella plant.

• Small, clump-forming plants, such as hosta and glossy wild ginger (Asarum europaeum), make a good edging along a garden path.

• Climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris) can scale trees, creating deciduous shade.

• Trillium luteum, or yellow trillium, has not only vivid flowers but also mottled leaves that are among the showiest of all trilliums; because the plant goes dormant in summer heat, I combine it with more persistent perennials such as hosta, which will provide coverage when the trillium fades.

• Cypripedium “Gisela” was created in 1992, when breeders crossed the American lady’s slipper with a Chinese species; it is one of the easiest orchids to grow, and I have had great success with it.

• Golden hakone grass (Hakonechloa macra “Aureola”) is one of the only grasses that will tolerate shade, and it combines beautifully with more typical woodland denizens such as hosta and Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum biflorum).

• The double white form of the tiny-flowered rue anemone (Anemonella thalictroides) is a special selection of this native plant; its scalloped foliage is a lovely companion to Japanese beech fern (Phegopteris decursive-pinnata), even though the two plants are from opposite sides of the world.

Questions should be addressed to Ask Martha, c/o Letters Department, Martha Stewart Living, 601 W. 26th St., 9th floor, New York, NY 10001.

PETS

From Mexico, with love: Native dogs are making a comeback

By Guy Trebay New York Times News Service

The Aztecs ate them. Frida Kahlo enshrined them in her art. So did Diego Rivera, who in a celebrated mural in Mexico City painted one baring its teeth at the invading Spaniards as they landed at Veracruz. Dolores Olmedo, a Mexican businesswoman and Kahlo’s rival for Rivera’s affections, ditched the boring cocker spaniels she once favored in order to trump Kahlo by breeding so many of the strange native dogs called Xoloitzcuintli (SHOW-loweats-QUEENT-lee) that she eventually assembled a mighty pack.

Even the most ardent admirers of the Xolo concede that the dog is plug-ugly. One description of this hairless canine of ancient lineage, a national treasure in its native Mexico, characterizes the Xolo as a hot water bottle with pig eyes, bat ears and a rat tail.

At the 135th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last month, the humble, homely Mexican Xolo made a cameo as the latest addition to the American Kennel Club’s list of 170 recognized purebreds.

DIGGING HIS JOB Kenai, the senior member of the avalanche rescue dog team, locates a buried person during a training exercise at Mt. Bachelor.

When the snow starts to slide, the Mt. Bachelor ski patrol relies on its elite team of avalanche dogs

By Penny Nakamura • The Bulletin

T

hey’re fast, friendly, and they know Mt. Bachelor like the backs of their paws. They’re the three avalanche rescue dogs, Kenai, Makita and Wyatt, who help the ski patrol staff sniff out people

who become buried in snowslides.

Kenai, a yellow Labrador, is the senior member of this avalanche dog team, and he works closely on the mountain with his trainer and ski patrol handler, Betsy Norsen.

“They are highly trained members of our staff. They’re normal dogs who like to play, but once we get ready to work a scene or slide area, they go to work and get serious,” says Norsen, 37, who has worked with 7-year-old Kenai since he was a puppy.

“These avalanche dogs can smell someone’s scent who’s buried under 6 feet of snow, and when someone’s buried, their scent pool can actually rise.”

To prove the point about dogs having an ultra-keen olfactory system, Mt. Bachelor

ski patrol director Curtis Norsen buried Bulletin photographer Ryan Brennecke under the snow.

Once Kenai got outside and was told to get ready to work, he bolted to an area about 25 yards away and started sniffing around.

Within five minutes, Kenai had pinpointed the area where the photographer was buried and started digging furiously. Within a few minutes, he had dug a small air hole to Brennecke, and Norsen used a shovel to dig the photographer out.

A 1992 Swiss Army study found that welltrained dogs can search a slide area the size of a football field eight times faster than a 20-person rescue team using probes.

Readers weigh in on cosmetic makeover Dear Abby: This is in response to your Jan. 7 column about “Frannie,” whose personal grooming issues may have cost her a promotion at work. The friend who wrote you might suggest that she is making an appointment for both of them at a day spa where trained cosmetologists could “pluck, primp and pretty” them both up with a new look. That way, someone else could actually tell Frannie what to do to improve her appearance, and the friend can feel she has been tactful while still making a difference. It may cost a few dollars, but it could be an effective solution.

— Rowena in Kansas Dear Rowena: “Frannie’s Friend” described her as wearing no makeup, sporting a huge unibrow and wearing sandals that expose her hairy feet. I also advised the services of a cosmetologist. However, readers — some of them males — vigorously disagree with us. Read on: Dear Abby: I’m a male who is put off by women who place too much emphasis on makeup and their “look.” I appreciate women who are real and have enough self-confidence not to get bent out of shape over clothes, hairstyles or, of all things, bushy eyebrows.

I would have suggested that Frannie find a job where she’s appreciated for her skills, since it’s obvious to me her current employer places the emphasis on superficiality. I work in aerospace, where we value (and need) smart women who can make things happen. We love women with strength and character, and tend to be suspicious of someone trying to pull off the “Barbie Doll” image.

— Mike in Everett, Wash.

Dear Abby: Heaven forbid that women present themselves to the world as they are, rather than hidden behind blushes and eye shadows! Why are we taught to be ashamed of our own faces?

As for the overly hairy eyebrows, why should it matter?

The writer mentioned that her friend is in shape and dresses well, so it isn’t as if she strolls into the office looking unkempt. The real issue here is that Frannie’s co-workers judge her on some-

DEAR ABBY thing that has absolutely nothing to do with her work.

I applaud Frannie for being confident enough about who she is not to modify herself to meet other people’s shallow standards.

Our society has become a vapid, aesthetically demanding place that values appearance over merit.

— Caitlin in Los Angeles Dear Abby: When a woman has excessive facial hair and hair on the toes and feet, it can be a symptom of an endocrine disorder, particularly polycystic ovary disease.

Frannie should visit her OB/GYN to make sure she doesn’t have an underlying medical problem.

— Peshtigo, Wis., Reader Dear Abby: Frannie does not owe “prettiness” to anyone but herself. If someone is offended by her unibrow or hairy toes, that’s his/her problem, not Frannie’s.

Unless Frannie is truly clueless or actually desires hair removal, I don’t think her friend should mention grooming to her.

Frannie should be encouraged to find a man who likes her for exactly who she is, and not just if she conforms to society’s often ridiculous standards of beauty. Your response that Frannie “needs” to hear exactly why her appearance fails to attract men perpetuates the shallow belief that women must change themselves in order to be seen as attractive.

— Claire in Milwaukee Dear Abby: I would not say one word about the appearance of any person in the workplace. I have worked with women who were drop-dead gorgeous and those who could use a major makeover. Their appearance is none of my business. It’s not relevant in the workplace today — except, maybe, in cocktail bars and strip joints.

Starring Long Beach, as Miami Coastal city’s ability to stand in for many locales makes it a busy hub for filming

“We make it really easy for you to film here.

We answer our phones 24 hours a day. We’re not ‘Call us between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or you’re not going to get a film permit.’”

By Richard Verrier Los Angeles Times

LONG BEACH, Calif.

— Crime scene investigator Ryan Wolfe peers around the corner of a building, spying on an ex-con and some neighborhood toughs. When the group disappears down the alley, Wolfe chases after his target, who clambers over a metal gate and into apartment complex in Miami’s Little Havana.

At least, that’s what the script says. In reality, Wolfe, played by Jonathan Togo, was acting out the scene on a recent Monday afternoon in downtown Long Beach at the corner of First Street and Lime Avenue.

The scene was for the 19th episode of the current season of “CSI: Miami,” the longrunning CBS series starring David Caruso that has made Long Beach its home, even though it’s some 2,300 miles from Florida’s most populous city.

“It’s Miami of the West,” said Don Tardino, producer of the TV series about a South Florida team of forensic investigators. “The similarities are unbelievable.”

Thanks to its ability to stand in for Miami and other locales — picture palm trees, clean beaches, cruise ships and waterfront McMansions — Long Beach has emerged as one of the busiest hubs for on-location filming in Los Angeles County.

On-location filming in Long Beach has jumped more than 300 percent in the last decade, generating 440 film permits and 671 production

The long-running CBS series has made Long Beach its home, even though it’s some 2,300 miles from Miami. days in 2010, compared with 405 permits and 661 production days in 2009, according to the city of Long Beach’s special events and filming bureau.

Most of the activity stems from commercial shoots and TV shows, primarily “CSI: Miami” and Showtime’s “Dexter,” which is also set in Miami. They have been joined by “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “Medium,” “Criminal Minds” and Fox’s “Glee,” which features scenes at Cabrillo High School even though the musical comedy is set in Lima, Ohio.

“CSI: Miami” producers visit South Florida twice a year to shoot aerial video of Miami and environs that are seen in the show, but virtually all exterior scenes are filmed in Long Beach.

Interior scenes are shot at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach.

Produced by CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer Productions, “CSI: Miami” has a crew of 170 and an estimated budget of at least $3.5 million per episode. (The original “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” series is made at Universal Studios, while “CSI: New York” films

Weekly Arts & Entertainment Inside

at CBS Studios in Studio City.)

The “CSI: Miami” production crew can often be found filming on the beaches, around the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Long Beach Performing Arts Center and in the upscale Naples community, with its multimillion-dollar waterfront homes. El Dorado East Regional Park has even been used as a setting for the Everglades.

Although most of the activity comes from television, several movies also have filmed in Long Beach in recent years, including “Fast & Furious,” “Star Trek” (which used Long Beach City Hall as the Starfleet command center), “Iron Man” (it staged a massive car explosion on Shoreline Drive) and two “Transformers” movies.

“We make it really easy for you to film here,” said the city’s film commissioner, Tasha Day, whose office is lined with posters from films like “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” and “Get Smart” that have filmed in Long Beach. “We answer our phones 24 hours a day. We’re not

Although Long Beach doesn’t offer any film tax credits, it does offer a unique, Zelig-like ability to portray multiple cities.

Last year, for example, producers of the third “Transformers” movie — which hasn’t been released yet — used Long Beach as a stand-in for a suburb of Washington, D.C. In the second “Transformers” installment, Long Beach doubled as Shanghai.

“When people are filming here, they usually are not filming Long Beach as Long Beach,” Day said. “We can be just about anywhere in the world.”

“I’m surprised that after nine seasons we haven’t tapped out on it,” Tardino said of Long Beach.

“We always seem to have something interesting to shoot.”

The British are coming: Decoding the ‘King’s Speech’ Oscar triumph

By Steven Zeitchik Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — If you were watching the Oscars on Sunday night, the narrative of “The King’s Speech” beating “The Social Network” played out on several levels.

The Tom Hooper film won in four major categories — best picture, director and actor, as well as in one of the two screenplay categories — the first time since “The Silence of the Lambs” 19 years ago that a single movie walked away with that quartet of prizes.

If you were a follower of Hollywood politics, that kind of haul had a David-toppling-Goliath feel.

This was a small film with a director whose lone previous feature grossed less than $1 million, and that starred the second lead from “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” triumphing over a movie made by a major studio, directed by the filmmaker behind “Seven” and penned by the creator of “The West Wing.”

But it was also hard to avoid a more cultural subplot in Sunday’s events: the British-ness of Oscar’s biggest prize.

Telling themes The motion picture academy is sometimes perceived as favoring movies with a British tilt. But it doesn’t, in fact, show them that much love.

Productions from across the Pond can win at the Oscars, but it hasn’t happened much in recent decades: Before “Slumdog Millionaire” in 2009, you have to go back to 1987 (“The Last Emperor”) to find a best picture winner with mainly Britainbased producers. (One of the three “King’s Speech” producers is Australian-born but is based in London.)

“The King’s Speech” was also the first best picture winner in more than a decade to be set in England. (“Shakespeare in Love” did it in 1999.)

And the “King’s Speech” win on Sunday night marked the first time the academy chose for its best picture a movie that also won best British film at the BAFTAs (essentially the British Oscars) in the modern history of that organization.

But maybe more important than any of these statistical landmarks were the themes of “The King’s Speech.”

Though universal subjects such as loyalty and responsibility ran through the film, there was also an unmistakable British hue to the movie, what with its exploration of an evolving monarchy and its view of an British empire believed to be the

Mark J. Terrill / The Associated Press

Tom Hooper accepts the award for best director for “The King’s Speech” at the 83rd Academy Awards on Sunday. The Brit-driven drama garnered 4 Oscars, including best picture. best bulwark against Nazism.

(The point was highlighted backstage when an English journalist asked the producers if they were in fact monarchists, a question that elicited an elaborate answer whose nuances were lost on some of the American journos in the room, this one included.)

Culture clash?

This was a season when movies with a distinctly American tone shone brightly for audiences.

“The Fighter” and “Black Swan” took place in highly particular stateside settings and explored quintessentially American themes (the role of the underdog and the price of overachievement). And that epitome of American stories, the redemption Western, was one of the season’s biggest hits, as “True Grit” tallied nearly $170 million in box office.

Yet the combined Oscar count for those movies was exactly three.

On top of that, of course, came the “King’s Speech” win over “The Social Network,” a period movie about kings and prime ministers besting a story of Silicon Valley ambition.

There’s been much made in recent months about the rise of British actors in blockbusters, with performers from across the Pond, such as Andrew Garfield and Henry Cavill, being cast as American superheroes.

True, Sunday night was mainly about one film. But when it comes to calling for the arrival of all things British, the academy is hardly afraid to ride that horse.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, March 1, 2011: This year, you move in a new direction. Many people might not have planned for a new start, but suddenly, you are on an unforeseen path. Be open to groups, meetings and people in general who support your concerns and demonstrate caring. Use care with those who project their issues onto you. Your finances could improve. Still, be careful with spending. If you are single, you could meet the right person through a friend. Use care if you’re meeting someone on your own. This person might not be all that you think. If you are attached, the two of you experience more closeness if supported by frequent outings as a couple. AQUARIUS demonstrates his or her caring through loyalty.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH A meeting brings forth surprising information.

Your instincts tell you which way to go with a friendship. The unexpected draws strong feelings.

A friendship builds because of your ability to flex. Tonight: High energy marks your actions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Manage a need to move forward until you have connected all the dots. Your instincts encourage you to find information. Reach out to someone at a distance. Feelings need to be expressed at this point.

Tonight: Could be late but enjoyable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

HHHHH Keep reaching out for others. The unexpected jolts the community or your workplace. A partner supports you as you become more spontaneous. Meetings, discussions and actions draw very positive results. Do you know what you want? Tonight: Feed your mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Others play a significant role in your choices. Still, you might want to have an intense discussion with someone whose judgment you respect. Accept a compliment gracefully, even if you are uncomfortable. Tonight: Follow another’s suggestion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Others seem to be running around changing the lay of the land, so to speak. Your plans might be subject to disruption.

You see what is happening. Start discussing what you see. It is important for others to put in their two cents. Tonight: Accept an offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Juggle and accomplish as much as you can. You could be taken aback by someone’s unpredictability.

Be honest — is this manifestation new? An associate or partner pitches in, making a big difference.

Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your playfulness and directness when dealing with others will make all the difference. Laughter surrounds a child or loved one. You find interacting to be quite fun and a stress-buster. Express your feelings to key people. Tonight: Light your fire!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Stay steady and centered.

You might have too much energy for many people. Funnel it where you can make a difference. A personal matter or an investment might look very good. The operative word here is “look.” Remember that. Tonight: Head home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Return calls. Squeeze in some networking. Make time for creative problem-solving with several other people who you enjoy input from. Say more of what you feel more often, even if you feel vulnerable.

Tonight: Hang out with friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You are savvy when dealing with your finances. Still, an unexpected demand or perhaps an expenditure causes a regrouping.

Play Ralph Nader with any potential repairs or necessary purchases. Buy a card for a loved one to let him or her know you appreciate what he or she does. Tonight: Pay bills first.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You see what many people don’t. Communicate what is on your mind in a fashion in which others will care. If you must complete a task, you might need to screen your calls. You might not believe how overwhelmed you could be. Tonight: Do what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Think before spouting an idea or making a purchase. An element of misrepresentation could be present at the moment. Use care as well with anyone you meet out of the blue.

Someone might not be the person he or she projects. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Rescue

PETS CALENDAR GENERAL

Continued from F1 Norsen says it was the Swiss Army that first realized how useful a dog’s olfactory system could be for search and rescue, and started training avalanche dogs in the 1930s.

Ski patrol dog handler Tyler Prinz works with 6-year-old Makita, a chocolate Labrador, and has been amazed at how well the dogs perform each and every week.

“To keep their skills up, we drill at least two times a week. It’s sort of like hide and seek, and they always find our volunteer victim,” says Prinz, 32, as he brings Makita to the base area of Mt. Bachelor. “These dogs are like athletes.

I run with Makita probably twice a day, and they’re physically fit to do this kind of work. When they’re going to a job, they get totally amped up and excited.”

A highly trained team Makita and Kenai are canine celebrities at the mountain.

Wearing their signature red ski patrol vests with the white cross, the two dogs are greeted and petted by visitors outside the main lodge. But once they’re on the job, it’s all about work.

“We like the Labradors because they are friendly with our visitors, and they’re also our ambassadors. We go out to schools and they like to be petted, but if we’re going to a job, we prefer you don’t start petting them,” says Norsen, who says Mt. Bachelor started using avalanche dogs in 1991. The dogs belong to Mt. Bachelor, but they live with their handlers.

Not to be outdone by her teammate, Makita does the drill, too, and finds a buried volunteer ski patroller. With snow and paws flying and tail furiously wagging, Makita’s nose knows. She digs out her victim in record time and is rewarded with a nice big sausage.

“I was really looking forward to seeing Makita,” says relieved ski patroller Brian Jackson, who had waited in the snow hole buried in darkness for several long minutes.

The third canine dog member in this highly trained unit is Wyatt, the youngest of the crew at almost 3 years old. Wyatt is a black Labrador. This specific breed was chosen by the Mt. Bachelor ski patrol because Labs are friendly, smart, and don’t have long fur, which can get balled up with snow.

DOGS

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

Ski patrol dog handler Tyler Prinz, left, and his dog Makita ride the chairlift with their colleagues Betsy Norsen and Kenai while training at Mt. Bachelor. Learning to ride ski lifts and snowmobiles without fear is part of the avalanche dogs’ training.

— Tyler Prinz, dog handler with the Mt. Bachelor ski patrol “Wyatt is our young, fast sprinter. We timed him from the Pine Martin chair, where he ran to the Summit chair, rode that up and came to the bowl area within 19 minutes,” says a proud Prinz, adding that time is of the essence when someone is buried in an avalanche. “When someone is buried, you’re generally looking at about a 15-minute window.

If they can be found within that time frame, about 90 percent of the time they will survive.”

On the job According to the Swiss Army report, the survival rate goes down to 30 percent if the victim is not found by the 35-minute mark, and after two hours the rate drops dramatically, to 3 percent. After several hours, Norsen says, it will usually be a body recovery job, and the dogs are trained to find cadavers as well.

Though an avalanche slide does not happen often within the

Mt. Bachelor ski area, it did happen earlier this season, and it was these three avalanche dogs that sniffed out the area of the slide to see if any skiers or snowboarders were buried.

“We had that slide in late December. After we had opened, we got the report and didn’t think anyone had been caught up in it,” recalled Norsen. “But we brought out the dogs, as backup insurance policy, and they sniffed and didn’t detect or pinpoint any scent of a human.”

Not all dogs can pass muster to become an elite avalanche dog. Besides loving snow, the dogs must complete a year of obedience training and be able to strictly obey the commands of their handlers.

The dogs must also be able to load on and off a ski lift without fear. These dogs also learn to ride on the backs of snowmobiles, and they’ve been tested for their ability to ride calmly in a rescue helicopter.

Xolo Continued from F1 With an estimated population of fewer than 1,000 dogs in the United States, the Xolo is barely a statistical blip relative to the overall canine population (46.5 million households own purebred dogs, according to figures compiled last year by the American Pet Products Association).

What makes the Xolo’s official recognition noteworthy is the breed’s unexpected redemption.

The AKC erased the breed from its stud book 50 years ago when interest in this once-popular dog faded and the Xoloitzcuintli, also known as the Mexican hairless, all but disappeared.

“Breeds come and go into and out of fashion,” said Gina DiNardo, executive secretary of the AKC, the umbrella body for 5,105 licensed member and affiliated dog clubs. “People see dogs in movies,” she added, and they fall for the pooch on the screen.

Or they spot Paris Hilton on the red carpet with a trembling teacup Chihuahua peering out of her “It” bag, and suddenly puppy mills are pressured to bring more teacup Chihuahuas online. “People see that Martha Stewart has French bulldogs,” DiNardo said.

“And they say, ‘That’s something I want.’”

The Xolo enjoyed a brief moment of vogue in 1940, when Chinito Jr., a dog bred and owned by a New Yorker named Valetska

New recruits?

“To keep their skills up, we drill at least two times a week. It’s sort of like hide and seek, and they always find our volunteer victim. ... When they’re going to a job, they get totally amped up and excited.”

Taboo, right, and her daughter, Ole, are Xoloitzcuintli dogs who live in Winthrop, Mass. They’re among fewer than 1,000 Xolos who live in the United States.

Radtke, became the first and only AKC champion since the dog made its debut in the club’s stud registry back when Grover Cleveland was president.

Now Xolos are back, with a worldwide population of approximately 30,000 and newly formed fan and breed clubs in France, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, Ukraine and Peru.

That the dog of the year in Mexico last year was a Xolo may have been a sign of resurgent nationalism — or could just mean that allergies are on the rise south of the border.

Although a coated Xoloitzcuintli exists, by far the most popular version is the hypoallergenic one, a dog sprouting no fur beyond an asymmetrical “Tabitha’s Salon Takeover” shock between its ears.

“It’s already started,” said Amy

Fernandez, of Forest Hills, Queens.

Fernandez, a longtime Xolo owner, also contributed to the breed’s official written standards. “As soon as the word got out that they were going AKC, people ran out to buy a pair,” Fernandez said, referring to the breed’s elevation from a miscellaneous category to stud book recognition, which means that it can appear in the ring at the Westminster show.

Still, Fernandez said: “It’s a fad.

There are always fads in dogs because people are attracted to a novelty. They want to be the first one to have the breed that looks the most different.” At $2,500 for a show-quality dog, a Xolo is no cheap impulse purchase.

Mottled, livid, freckly, baggy and with an eternally suspicious squint, Xolos don’t just look different from most other purebred

dogs; they are inherently different, their owners say.

Unlike many pets bred to favor docility and anthropomorphic attributes — squashed, childlike faces, pendant ears that resemble human locks — the Xolo is an authentic rarity, a spontaneous genetic mutation evolved according to the laws of natural selection, mainly in the wild.

“I don’t think they were really messed with by man until late in their history,” said Kathy Lawson, a longtime breeder and handler of Xolos who raises them in the high Mojave near Hesperia, Calif.

Historians citing depictions of the dogs in art have variously traced the origins of the breed — which can range in size considerably, from 10 to 50 pounds — to the Aztec, Maya and Toltec civilizations. “There are still breeders in Mexico who make the journey into the Colima jungle to get dogs from the Indians to add to their breed lines,” Lawson said.

Primitive is a word seldom used with cuddlesome pugs or the Labrador retriever, undisputed cheap date of the canine kingdom, and few of the fans who fill the Garden each year for the dog show are likely to think of their pets as avatars of something snarling and wild. Xolo owners, however, are not shy about noting that far from being a quivering naked bed warmer, the Xolo is a fierce and sturdy, assertive and sometimes ornery dog.

“It’s a primitive breed,” Fernandez said.

The avalanche dogs at Mt. Bachelor have all been put through their paces at professional avalanche training from the Wasatch Backcountry Rescue program in Utah and the Swiss Avalanche program that’s held at Stevens Pass ski area in Washington.

Within the next few years, Norsen says, Kenai is likely to retire, and the patrol hopes to add two more avalanche dogs to its staff. She says the training for an avalanche dog takes at least two years, with the first year being solely about obedience and following commands. Each of the avalanche dogs is insured by Mt. Bachelor, and though they don’t earn a salary, the sales of their very popular T-shirts help pay for the intense avalanche training programs they attend every year with their handlers.

“The dogs are able to smell what we can’t see. They’re invaluable to us,” says Norsen. “They can work a scene much faster than humans, and they’re very specifically trained for this kind of work.

When we expand the (dog) staff to four, we hope to have at least two of the avalanche dogs working every day at Bachelor.”
