Nuclear crisis in Japan • The tsunami’s local victim • Cleanup on the coast

A disaster deepens

DA to call in outside prosecutor Flaherty, seeking independent review of personnel files case, maintains there’s no conflict By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

Rob Kerr / The Bulletin

CRESCENT CITY, Calif. — Environmental cleanup crews descended into the harbor here, a Northern California town that was thought to take the hardest hit on the West Coast from the tsunami that originated across the ocean. A day earlier, in the wake of Japan’s 8.9-magnitude earthquake, Crescent City had largely emptied out, anticipating disaster. On Saturday morning, residents and officials took stock of the damage.

The different radioactive materials reported at the nuclear accidents in Japan range from relatively benign to extremely worrisome. Japan’s top government spokesman said early this morning that a partial meltdown was likely under way at one of the two nuclear power plants severely jolted by Friday’s earthquake. Even so, there was no confirmation of a meltdown at either plant, but the situation is exceedingly tense in a nation uniquely sensitive to the dangers of radiation — no other country knows the pain of being attacked with atomic weapons. “The situation is pretty bad,” said Frank von Hippel, a nuclear physicist who advised the Clinton White House and now teaches international affairs at Princeton. “But it could get a lot worse.” See Nuclear / A4

When Dustin Weber’s friends learned that the longtime Bend resident had been swept out to sea Friday by the tsunami that hit Northern California, they were shocked and grief-stricken, but not entirely surprised. Dustin Weber Weber had always been a risk taker. The 25-year-old had gone down to the mouth of the Klamath River to watch the arrival of waves created by Friday’s earthquake off the coast of Japan. He was on a sandbar at the mouth of the river with two friends when a wave knocked him down and pulled him away from shore. Although his body has not been found, the Coast Guard has called off its search, and Weber is presumed dead. He is believed to be the only fatality in the United States as a result of the tsunami. Blaise Butcher, a Bend resident who’s known Weber since they were in the fourth grade together at Trinity Lutheran School, said his friend wasn’t the type to let something like a tsunami pass by without going in for a closer look. See Fatality / A6

BROOKINGS — On Saturday morning, Leslie Wood did what she normally does this time of year. She went down to the docks in the Brookings-Harbor port and started boiling Dungeness crab. It didn’t matter that a tsunami had roared through the harbor the day before, sinking and damaging boats and rendering the once-busy port useless. Wood still needed to cook the crab before it went bad. Otherwise, she and her husband, Bill, who together own a fishing vessel, would have lost out on much-needed income that goes toward paying their bills. It’s unknown exactly how much damage was caused by the tsunami, but port officials here say it was extensive. Docks will have to be rebuilt, costing millions, and the funds will likely have to come from elsewhere, namely through federal government disaster relief programs. See Damage / A7

Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty has announced plans to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the disclosure of personnel files on nine employees of his office to The Bulletin. In a news release sent out Saturday afternoon, Flaherty said he does not believe the 2-week-old grand jury investigation into the disclosure creates a conflict of interest for his office. Multiple county employees have been subpoenaed to appear before the jury, which Flaherty has said was convened to determine if the disclosure of certain information about his employees — phone numbers, driver’s license numbers and home addresses — was an oversight or a deliberate action by county staff. Despite his insistence that the jury process poses no conflict, Flaherty wrote Saturday, “Based (upon) my review of evidence received by the Grand Jury, I believe that the best practice at this time is to appoint a special prosecutor. Given the nature and potential scope of this investigation, I believe having a special prosecutor who can independently review the evidence is now prudent.” Flaherty did not return a phone call for comment, and his news release did not identify whom he might select to take over the investigation. Nor did it name the “outside counsel” he consulted “to determine if there was a conflict of interest.” Notwithstanding his decision to bring in a special prosecutor, Flaherty wrote Saturday that “I remain satisfied that no actual conflict has … arisen” since the grand jury convened.

“Not running again gives you the freedom to take big political risks,” says Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., one of eight U.S. senators so far to announce they won’t run for re-election in 2012.

Free from elections, retiring senators have a bucket list of bills By Carl Hulse New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Call it the Bucket List Caucus: the growing number of departing senators who just might want to get a few big things done before they pass on to new lives outside of Congress. “It’s not what we want to do before we expire, but before we retire,” said Sen. Joe Lieberman, who coined the caucus name in tribute to the idea of checking off a series of longstanding but unfulfilled goals before kicking the bucket, politically. With eight senators already announcing they will not seek re-election next year, the lawmakers liberated from the weight of a modern re-election campaign could begin to shift the dynamic and play influential roles if the Senate takes on tough issues like fiscal reform, energy independence or even immigration.

Frantic effort to rescue survivors by Martin Fackler and Mark McDonald New York Times News Service

NAKAMINATO, Japan — Japan on Saturday mobilized a nationwide rescue effort to pluck survivors from collapsed buildings and rush food and water to thousands in an earthquake and tsunami zone under siege, without water, electricity, heat or telephone service. Entire villages in parts of Japan’s northern Pacific Coast have vanished under a wall of water, many communities are cut off, and a nuclear emergency was unfolding near two stricken reactors at one plant as the country tried to absorb the scale of the destruction after Friday’s powerful earthquake and devastating tsunami. Japanese news media estimates of the death toll ranged from 1,300 to 1,700, the total could rise. Many communities were scrambling to find the missing; in the port town of Minamisanriku, nearly 10,000 people were unaccounted for, according to the public broadcaster NHK. Much of the northeast was impassable, and by late Saturday rescuers had not arrived in the worst-hit areas. More than 300,000 people have been evacuated, including tens of thousands fleeing the zone around the nuclear plants in Fukushima prefecture even before news that problems at one plant appeared to be escalating quickly. Most of the deaths were from drowning, but Japan’s Self-Defense Forces and firefighters were rushing to prevent a higher toll, rushing up the coast in helicopters and struggling to put out fires burning in industrial complexes or sweeping through Japan’s many vulnerable wooden homes. Japan had clearly learned the lessons of the devastating Kobe earthquake of 1995, when Japan refused to accept offers of international help early enough, leading to criticisms that many of the 6,000 deaths could have been avoided. The United States, which has several military bases in Japan, is sending in helicopters, destroyers, and an aircraft carrier, the Ronald Reagan, which has the ability to act as a hospital as well as to convert sea water into drinking water, said a spokesman for the Navy’s 7th Fleet in Japan. Severe aftershocks continued to rock a traumatized country. The U.S. Geological Survey recorded 90 earthquakes off the eastern coast on Saturday alone, five of them with magnitudes larger than 6.0. Kyodo News reported more than 125 aftershocks since Friday afternoon’s earthquake. The continual swaying and rolling of the ground deepened the disorientation of a nation accustomed to disaster — earthquakes, tsunamis and two atomic bombs — but which has not experienced anything on this scale for generations. Aerial photographs of the ravaged coastal areas showed a string of cities and villages leveled by the power of the tsuna-

Japan’s rising death toll is anyone’s guess As Japan entered its second night since the magnitude-8.9 quake, there were grim signs that the death toll could soar. One report said no one could find four whole trains. Others said 9,500 people in one coastal town were unaccounted for and that at least 200 bodies had washed ashore elsewhere. The government said 642 people were missing and 1,426 injured. Atsushi Ito, an official in Miyagi prefecture, among the worst-hit states, could not confirm the figures, noting that with so little access to the area, thousands of people in scores of towns could not yet be reached. “Our estimates based on reported cases alone suggest that more than 1,000 people have lost their lives in the disaster,” Edano said. “Unfortunately, the actual damage could far exceed that number considering the difficulty assessing the full extent of damage.” mi. Plumes of black smoke rose from burning industrial plants. Stranded ships bobbed in the water. Town after town reported that parts of their population were unaccounted for. Survivors gathered on rooftops, frantically shouting or signaling for help. With phone service cut throughout the area, some radio and television stations broadcast pleas from people trying desperately to find their family members or at least to assure them that they were alive. “This is Kimura Ayako in Sapporo, looking for the Tanakas in Soma,” one caller said. “We are OK Please tell us your location.” JR, the railway company, reported that three passenger trains had not been accounted for as of

Saturday night, amid fears that they were swept away by the tsunami. There were reports of as many as 3,400 buildings destroyed and 200 fires raging. Analysts estimated that total insured losses from the quake could hit $15 billion, Reuters reported.

Mobilizing the troops Even as estimates of the death toll from Friday’s quake rose, Japan’s prime minister, Naoto Kan, said 50,000 troops would be mobilized for the increasingly desperate rescue recovery effort. Meanwhile, several ships from the U.S. Navy joined the rapidly-expanding rescue effort. The USS McCampbell and the USS Curtis Wilbur, both

destroyers, prepared to move into position off Miyagi prefecture. In addition, the Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group was expected to arrive today. Besides serving as a hospital, it can also be used as a platform for refueling helicopters from the Japanese Self Defense Forces working more closely to shore. Convoys of Japanese military helicopters could be seen flying over the earthquake zone Saturday, and trucks filled with soldiers were moving heavy equipment into the area. Igor Sechin, Russia’s deputy prime minister, said the Japanese authorities were requesting additional energy supplies, and that Russia may increase deliveries of coal and liquefied natural gas to northern Japan. While aftershocks from the earthquake continued, the tsunami wreaked the most damage. Tsunami experts estimated that despite Japan’s extensive warning systems and drills, there would only have been between 15 and 30 minutes after the earthquake struck before the tsunami washed in, leaving those in coastal areas precious little time to flee. One-third of Kesennuma, a city of 74,000, was reported submerged, the BBC reported, and

photographs showed fires continued to rage there. Iwate, a coastal city of 23,000 people, was reported nearly destroyed, the BBC said. Local television here reported that the authorities had found 300 to 400 bodies in the town of Rikuzentakata, in Iwate prefecture. In Minamisoma, in Fukushima prefecture, 97 residents of a retirement home were found dead. And an additional 100 bodies were found Saturday in Miyagi prefecture, near the quake’s epicenter, bringing the total in those places to more than 500. Military units were in Sendai on Saturday, working at evacuation shelters or helping search-andrescue teams. Sendai’s website, posted in Tokyo because much of the north was still without electricity, recorded a grim list of the toll: 1.4 million homes in the city without electricity, and 500,000 homes without water. “The rescue is going on through the night, of course,” Michael Tonge, a teacher from Britain, said early this morning from his home in Sendai. “I think people want to help, but the government is telling them not to, as the professionals are better equipped to do that.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Gitmo trials: ready to go, but death penalty issue remains

Health law and states’ Medicaid costs: What is the connection?

TURMOIL IN THE MUSLIM WORLD

By Tony Pugh McClatchy-Tribune News Service

By Carol Rosenberg McClatchy-Tribune News Service

Now that the Obama administration has decided to go forward with both military trials and indefinite detention at Guantánamo, it has yet to resolve a key element: How does the Pentagon plan to execute war criminals condemned to death? The question is particularly ripe as the Pentagon prepares its case against a Saudi-born captive blamed for the alQaida bombing of the USS Cole, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri. Suicide bombers killed 17 American sailors aboard the $1 billion destroyer off the coast of Yemen in October 2000. Pentagon lawyers during the Bush administration prepared a death penalty prosecution of al-Nashiri that alleged he was a co-conspirator. His case is sure to stir controversy. The CIA acknowledges it waterboarded al-Nashiri, a self-described one-time millionaire from Mecca, before his September 2006 transfer to Guantánamo. The Associated Press also reported that a CIA agent revved an electric drill near al-Nashiri’s head and wielded a handgun during interrogation in a secret “black site” in Poland in 2002-03. Defense Secretary Robert Gates or his successor gets to decide how to carry out a military commissions execution under the latest Manual for Military Commissions, said Army Lt. Col. Tanya Bradsher, a Pentagon’s spokeswoman. But the manual does not spell out a method or venue. Pentagon lawyers refused to say whether Gates had begun the process of soliciting suggested methods — lethal injection versus firing squad, for example. Nor would Defense officials say whether the military had already selected an execution site on the remote, 45-square-mile Navy base. One issue, they said, was whether the war court that Obama disparaged as a senator then reformed as president would follow the federal model of lethal injection. So far, only six Guantánamo captives have been tried at the various versions of military commissions created in response to the 9/11 attacks, and none faced the death penalty.

W B 15-year sentence for American in Cuba HAVANA — A Cuban court on Saturday found a Maryland contractor, Alan Gross, guilty of crimes against the state and sentenced him to 15 years in prison, a verdict that brought a swift condemnation from Washington. Gross, 61, was arrested in December 2009 while on a USAID-backed democracy-building project. The U.S. government and Gross’ family say he was working to improve Internet access for the island’s Jewish community. On Friday, Cuba’s government freed Oscar Elias Biscet, a leading dissident who served more than 11 years in prison and was awarded the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom for his steadfast advocacy of peaceful opposition to the communist system.

5 sleeping settlers killed in West Bank HAWARA, West Bank — The Israeli military was searching Saturday for a Palestinian intruder or intruders it said stabbed to death five members of an Israeli family, including three children, as they slept in their home in the West Bank settlement of Itamar late Friday night. TV footage from the scene showed children’s toys covered in blood and furniture tipped over. It was the deadliest attack inside a settlement in years. In Gaza, a Hamas official applauded the attack. — From wire reports

An anti-Gadhafi rebel fires a rocket-propelled grenade at pro-government warplanes Saturday at a desert road near Ras Lanuf in eastern Libya. The world has moved a step closer to a decision on imposing a no-fly zone over Libya, but Moammar Gadhafi’s forces continue gaining on the rebels here.

Libya’s unrest follows own brutal course This weekend, Col. Gadhafi pushes ahead, even as Arab League endorses no-fly zone By Anthony Shadid New York Times News Service

RAS LANUF, Libya — It is a bromide of dictators like Col. Moammar Gadhafi that they stand as the only bulwark against forces of chaos and religious militancy. The tragedy of Libya’s uprising, its genesis in peaceful protests over a government’s disdain for its people, is that Gadhafi’s own brutal repression from Tripoli east to Ras Lanuf and beyond may make the platitudes reality. The protests upending the Arab world have ranged from the climactic success of protesters in Tunisia and Egypt, to the brutal crackdowns in Syria, whose government forced just a handful of demonstrators to sign pledges never to protest again, and to the uneasy standoff in Bahrain between Shiite protesters and a Sunni royal family. Libya has begun to emerge as its own model — the darker side of the forces unleashed this year by the immolation of a young man in the Tunisian hinterland. Everyone seems to have a gun these days, in a lawlessness tempered only by revolutionary ebullience. Young men at the front parade with the swagger that a rocket-propelled grenade launcher grants but hint privately that they will try to emigrate if they fail. Anti-American sentiments build, as rebels complain of Western inaction. And the hint of radicalization — religious or something more nihilist — gathers as the momentum in the three-week conflict clearly shifts to the forces of one of the world’s most bizarre leaders. “This better not go on any longer,” said Salem Langhi, a surgeon who was working around the clock at a hospital that was abandoned as Gadhafi’s forces rushed in. “It will only bring mis-

ery and hard feelings among people. Losing lives and limbs doesn’t make anyone optimistic.” No one seems to know what to call this conflict — a revolution, a civil war or, in a translation of what some call it in Arabic, “the events,” a shorthand for confusing violence. But especially for the rebels, there is an amateurishness to the fighting that began as a protest and became an armed uprising. “We’re here because we want to be,” said one of the fighters, Mohammed Fawzi. Gadhafi was swiftly advancing Saturday on the poorly equipped and loosely organized rebels who have seized much of the country. His forces pushed the front line miles deeper into rebel territory and violence erupted at the front door of the opposition stronghold in eastern Libya, where an AlJazeera cameraman slain in an ambush became the first journalist killed in the nearly monthlong conflict. In Cairo, in a stark rebuke to one of its members, the Arab League asked the U.N. Security Council to impose a no-fly zone to protect the rebels, increasing pressure on the U.S. and other Western powers to take action that most have expressed deep reservations about. In surprisingly swift action and aggressive language, the 22-member Arab bloc said after an emergency meeting the Libyan government had “lost its sovereignty.” Western diplomats have said Arab and African approval was necessary before the Security Council voted on imposing a nofly zone, which would be imposed by NATO nations to protect civilians from air attack. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Gates in Bahrain: ‘Baby steps’ to reform aren’t good enough New York Times News Service MANAMA, Bahrain — In the wake of a violent clash between protesters and Bahrain’s security forces and pro-government vigilantes, Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned this tiny kingdom’s ruling family Saturday that “baby steps” toward reform would not be enough to meet the political and economic grievances sweeping the region. Gates also cautioned Bahrain’s king and crown prince, during two hours of meetings in Manama, Bahrain’s capital, that if the reform process was prolonged, the U.S. feared Iran would become involved and create more chaos. “I expressed the view that we had no evidence that suggested that Iran started any of these popular revolutions or demonstrations across the region,” Gates told reporters afterward on his plane. Gates did not offer any details of the evidence he cited.

Gates, the highest-ranking member of the Obama administration to visit Bahrain since the protests started last month, was in the kingdom to reassure the rulers of Washington’s support, but also to prod them toward change. To the consternation of the largely Shiite protesters, Washington has continued to back the government of the royal family, whose members are Sunni. In another predominantly Shiite country to the north, Azerbaijan, police arrested 50 protesters Saturday, the second day of demonstrations in Baku, the capital. Several hundred protesters gathered for a rally organized by an opposition party, Musavat, which intended to ride the wave of revolts in the Middle East and North Africa, calling for the resignation of President Ilham Aliyev, whose family has been ruling the oil-rich state since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In Yemen, protests become deadlier SANAA, Yemen — Fighting escalated between protesters and security forces Saturday, and four people were reported killed, even as President Ali Abdullah Saleh, a U.S. ally, promised the White House he would not use violence against the demonstrators. At least three were killed in the capital, and a 14year-old boy was killed in the south, witnesses said. The confrontations came a day after the largest protest yet in the three-week uprising, when an estimated 100,000 people staged a sit-in in Sanaa demanding Saleh’s ouster. The numbers had dwindled to about 10,000 by Saturday morning, when the police moved in with water cannons to try to demolish tents set up by protesters outside Sanaa University. Then the shooting started. — From wire reports

WASHINGTON — The nation’s Republican governors are raising a new complaint against the 2010 national health care overhaul: They say it would drive up their Medicaid costs dramatically at a time they’re already slashing their budgets to cope with debt. There’s no question that the health care law will force states to expand their Medicaid services, but how that ultimately will affect states’ costs is a matter of considerable dispute. The 2010 law requires that state Medicaid programs in 2014 begin covering all non-elderly people who earn up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, which would comprise people with incomes of up to $29,400 for a family of four this year. By 2019, that expansion is expected to add 16 million to Medicaid, which now provides health coverage for about 60 million low-income Americans. Childless adults and parents who previously earned too much to qualify for the program will make up the bulk of the new enrollees. Currently, the federal government pays about 57 percent of Medicaid costs on average, while states pay the rest. Under the new law, the federal government will pay the entire cost of the new enrollees for the first three years, after which it will scale down gradually to 90 percent in 2020 and thereafter. GOP governors say that’s an entitlement program expansion they simply can’t afford. As states try to close $125 billion in budget shortfalls for the next fiscal year, both Republican and Democratic governors say that any new spending is problematic. Twenty-six GOP governors have joined a lawsuit challenging the health care overhaul, which they deride as “Obamacare,” as an abuse of federal power. A report released recently by

Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., says the health care act’s Medicaid expansion will cost states $118 billion over 12 years. That’s nearly twice the amount — $60 billion — that the Congressional Budget Office has estimated for a 10-year period. The CBO estimates the law would cut the federal budget deficit by $143 billion from 2010 to 2019 and by $1.3 trillion over the following decade, through a combination of new revenue sources and spending reductions. Which numbers are more credible, the CBO’s or the GOP’s? Democrats and independent researchers challenged the GOP report, saying it didn’t use a standard methodology to estimate each state’s costs. It also failed to account for savings that the Medicaid expansion is likely to produce, such as a reduction in state payments for medical care for the uninsured. Republicans defended the report, saying the estimates were conservative and the methodology sound. The Urban Institute, a think tank, projected that from 2014 to 2019, the law will save states and localities $43 billion to $85 billion on uncompensated medical care for the uninsured, and $20 billion to $40 billion on their mental health services. Henry Aaron, a senior fellow for economic studies at the Brookings Institution, said the seismic changes brought on by the law probably will produce some unintended costs, so the GOP estimates shouldn’t be discounted. “I think it would be a mistake to dismiss without significance the estimates of skeptics who think things will be more expensive than CBO estimates,” Aaron said. “Just as it would be a mistake to dismiss the estimates of those who believe the costs will be lower and the savings higher.”

Again, a quake shifts the Earth on its axis By Eryn Brown Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magnitude 8.9 earthquake in Japan shifted Earth on its axis and shortened the length of a day by a hair. In the future, scientists said, it will provide an unusually precise view of how Earth is deformed during massive earthquakes at sites where one plate is sliding under another, including the U.S. Pacific Northwest. The unusually rich detail comes from an extensive network of sensors that were placed at sites across Japan after that countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kobe earthquake of 1995, a magnitude 6.8 quake that killed more than 6,000 people because its epicenter was near a major city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Japanese have the best seismic information in the world,â&#x20AC;? said Lucy Jones, chief scientist for the Multi-Hazards project at the U.S. Geological Survey, at a Saturday news conference at Caltech in Pasadena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is overwhelmingly the best-recorded great earthquake ever.â&#x20AC;? Already, slightly more than 36 hours after the quake, datacrunchers had determined that the temblorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s force moved parts of eastern Japan as much as 12 feet

closer to North America, scientists said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that Japan has shifted downward about two feet. Jones said that USGS had determined that the entire earthquake sequence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including associated foreshocks and aftershocks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; had so far included 200 temblors of magnitude 5 or larger, 20 of which occurred before the big quake hit. She said the aftershocks were continuing at a rapid pace and decreasing in frequency although not in magnitude, all of which is to be expected. Last year, Chileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthquake too was so powerful that it likely shifted an Earth axis and shortened the length of a day. Researchers have a laundry list of items they hope to gather data on. California Institute of Technology geophysicist Mark Simons said that knowing how much the land had shifted during the quake and its aftershocks would help scientists understand future hazards in the region and allow them to plan accordingly. Many of the lessons, however, will apply to other parts of the world than California, because the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault topography is different than the one involved in the Japanese quake. The earthquake

that struck the New Zealand city of Christchurch on Feb. 22 is probably more analogous to what is likely to occur in California, because it occurred along a fault running very close to an urban area. The data from the Japanese temblor could help planners and engineers avert potential earthquake disasters around the world, the scientists said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including in the Pacific Northwest, where the Cascadia Subduction Zone extends 600 miles south from British Columbia. Geological evidence as well as historical records of tsunami deaths in Japan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; from giant waves believed, based on modern analysis, to have come from a Cascadia quake â&#x20AC;&#x201D; suggest that the most recent large earthquake in the Pacific Northwest occurred in 1700. It was probably larger than Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earthquake in Japan. Another massive quake in the Pacific Northwest is â&#x20AC;&#x153;inevitable,â&#x20AC;? the USGSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jones said, though it may not occur for hundreds of years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have an opportunity,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will help the Pacific Northwest understand what they should be ready for. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be sleepless in Seattle, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be studious.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from A1 The central problem in assessing the degree of danger is that the amounts of various radioactive releases into the environment are now unknown, as are the winds and other atmospheric factors that determine how radioactivity will disperse around the stricken plants. Still, the properties of the materials and their typical interactions with the human body give some indication of the threat. In Vienna on Saturday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Japanese authorities had informed it that iodine pills would be distributed to residents around the Fukushima Daiichi and Daini plants in northeast Japan. Both have experienced multiple failures in the wake of the huge earthquake and tsunami that struck Friday. In the types of reactors involved, water is used to cool the reactor core and produce steam to turn the turbines that make electricity. The water contains two of the least dangerous radioactive materials now in the news â&#x20AC;&#x201D; radioactive nitrogen and tritium. Normal plant operations produce both of them in the cooling water, and they are even released routinely in small amounts into the environment, usually through tall chimneys. Nitrogen is the most common gas in the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s atmosphere, and at a nuclear plant the main radioactive form is known as nitrogen-16. It is made when speeding neutrons from the reactorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core hit oxygen in the surrounding cooling water. This radioactive form of nitrogen does not occur in nature. The danger of nitrogen-16 is an issue only for plant workers and operators because its halflife is only seven seconds. A half-life is the time it takes half the atoms of a radioactive substance to disintegrate. The other form of radioactive materials often in the cooling water of a nuclear reactor is tritium. It is a naturally occurring radioactive form of hydrogen, sometimes known as heavy hydrogen. It is found in trace amounts in groundwater throughout the world. Tritium emits a weak form of radiation

that does not travel very far in the air and cannot penetrate the skin. It accumulates in the cooling water of nuclear reactors and is often vented in small amounts to the environment. Its half-life is 12 years. The big worries on the reported radiation releases in Japan center on radioactive material in Japan center on radioactive iodine and cesium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They imply some kind of core problem,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas Cochran, a senior scientist in the nuclear program of the Natural Resources Defense Council, a private group in Washington. The active core of a nuclear reactor splits atoms in two to produce bursts of energy and, as a byproduct, large masses of highly radioactive particles. The many safety mechanisms of a nuclear plant focus mainly on keeping these so-called fission products out of the environment. Iodine-131 has a half-life of eight days and is quite dangerous to human health. If absorbed through contaminated food, especially milk and milk products, it will accumulate in the thyroid and cause cancer. Located near the base of the neck, the thyroid is a large endocrine gland that produces hormones that help control growth and metabolism. The thyroid danger, von Hippel of Princeton said, is gravest in children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thyroid is more sensitive to damage when the cells are dividing and the gland is growing,â&#x20AC;? he said. Fortunately, an easy form of protection is potassium iodide, a simple compound typically added to table salt to prevent goiter and a form of mental retardation caused by a dietary lack of iodine. If ingested promptly after a nuclear accident, potassium iodide, in concentrated form, can help reduce the dose of radiation to the thyroid and thus the risk of cancer. In the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission recommends that people living within a 10-mile emergency plan-

ning zone around a nuclear plant have access to potassium iodide tablets. Over the long term, the big threat to human health is cesium137, which has a half-life of 30 years. At that rate of disintegration, John Emsley wrote in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Building Blocksâ&#x20AC;? (Oxford, 2001), â&#x20AC;&#x153;it takes over 200 years to reduce it to 1 percent of its former level.â&#x20AC;? It is cesium-137 that still contaminates much land in Ukraine around the Chernobyl reactor. In 1986, the plant suffered what is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history. Cesium-137 mixes easily with water and is chemically similar to potassium. It thus mimics how potassium gets metabolized in the body and can enter through many foods, including milk. After entering, cesium gets widely distributed, its concentrations said to be higher in muscle tissues and lower in bones. The radiation from cesium-137 can throw cellular machinery out of order, including the chromosomes, leading to an increased risk of cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency says that everyone in the United States is exposed to very small amounts of cesium-137 in soil and water because of atmospheric fallout from the nuclear detonations of the Cold War. The agency says that very high exposures can result in serious burns and even death, but that such cases are extremely rare. Once dispersed in the environment, it says, cesium-137 â&#x20AC;&#x153;is impossible to avoid.â&#x20AC;? Officials began venting radioactive steam at Fukushima Daiichiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Unit 1 to relieve pressure inside the reactor vessel, which houses the overheated uranium fuel. Concerns escalated dramatically Saturday when that unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s containment building exploded. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

C o ng ress Continued from A1 “Not running again gives you the freedom to take big political risks,” said Lieberman, I-Conn., who added that he would like to work on erasing the national debt and putting the nation on a more sound energy footing as he heads for the exit. With the Senate relatively narrowly divided at 53-47 in favor of the Democrats — and with lawmakers and the Obama administration exploring major initiatives like changes to Medicare, a tax law overhaul and a broad budget deal that could contain spending cuts — the willingness of a handful of senators to take what would typically be politically precarious votes could tip the balance. And this group of retirees is notable for its clout. Lieberman and two of the Democrats, Kent Conrad, of North Dakota, and Jeff Bingaman, of New Mexico, all lead committees (Homeland Security, Budget, and Energy and Natural Resources, respectively). One of the Republican retirees, Jon Kyl, of Arizona, is the party’s No. 2 senator. Also stepping down are Democrats Daniel Akaka of Hawaii and Jim Webb of Virginia and Republicans Kay Bailey Hutchison, of Texas, and John Ensign, of Nevada. Some of those leaving said they did not necessarily see themselves as empowered to take newly contentious policy positions just because they are retiring — though some votes will no doubt be cast with a little less anxiety about having to explain

DA Continued from A1 Legal experts consulted last week by The Bulletin said they did not have sufficient information to comment on this particular grand jury investigation but said bringing in an outside prosecutor is generally the preferred approach in cases in which the apparent victims or perpetrators are part of the district attorney’s office or county government. Lewis & Clark Law School Professor Doug Baloof, a former Multnomah County deputy district attorney and a defense attorney, said an outside prosecutor helps avoid the “appearance of impropriety” — the perception, rightly or wrongly, that personal or professional relationships are influencing a district attorney’s investigation. “Without judging whether there has been an appearance of impropriety, if there is an appearance of impropriety on behalf of a district attorney, there are alternative resources to investigate crime,” Baloof said. “First, the DA can request a district attorney from another county to conduct the investigation. Second, the district attorney can request the attorney general to conduct the investigation.” Baloof said the trade-off for avoiding the appearance of impropriety is that a district attorney surrenders control, as an outside prosecutor has no obligation to continue the investigation or steer it in the direction the district attorney might prefer. Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schrunk said he prefers to look to outside prosecutors if there is any dispute about the facts of a case where a conflict of interest might be alleged. “I’ve always looked at it as, if there’s an appearance of impropriety, whether there is or not, you really need to look closely at it, and you can get someone else to do it,” Schrunk said. “I think that’s a better way; it’s clean.” Portland attorney Bob Weaver was part of one such case passed off to the state by Schrunk because of the relationship between his office and the subject of the investigation, Portland Mayor Sam Adams. Weaver, who spent 15 years as a prosecutor, including nine as an assistant U.S. attorney, before going into private practice, represented Adams during the 2009 investigation of allegations the mayor had been involved in a sexual relationship with a minor. Oregon Attorney General John Kroger led the investigation and ultimately declined to file charges. “There’s probably nothing wrong had (Multnomah County’s) DAs stayed on the case, but it just does not feel right and look right, and as a district attorney or a U.S. attorney, you don’t even want to get close to that,” Weaver said. “You don’t ever want to be seen as using the big hammer of conviction and imprisonment for anything but pure motives, doing the right thing.” S cott Hammers can be reached at 541-383-0387 or at shammers@bendbulletin.com.

them back home. “I intended all along to do all I could to move energy legislation in Congress,” said Bingaman, who said he decided that 30 years was a nice round number on which to end his time in the Senate. But he and some other soon-tobe-former senators said the biggest advantage to bypassing another race is that it will give them the time and ability to focus on legislation without the constant pressure to raise money and take part in the campaign events that eat up a politician’s schedule.

“I don’t feel any great change in terms of being able to do things that are more controversial than I was able to do before,” Conrad said. “What it does change is it allows me to focus my time, energy and attention on these key issues and not be diverted by the need to raise campaign funds and the need to travel. It gives me much more time, and that is huge around here.” The lawmakers have not yet coalesced into any organized force, but the potential exists. In the case of Lieberman, Bingaman and

Conrad, energy independence is a shared goal, as is improved fiscal stability. Retirements are a regular part of the Senate cycle, but eight is a significant number. The record, according to the Senate Historical Office, is 13; it was set in 1996 as eight Democrats and five Republicans left after the tumult of the Republican takeover in 1994. Turnover has also been pronounced in recent years given retirements, deaths and the departure of four senators with the election of President Barack Obama,

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, March 13, 2011 A5 who gave up his Senate seat and took three colleagues with him into the administration. While announcing that one is relinquishing power can make a politician a lame duck, it is not necessarily debilitating in the Senate. In fact, some senators have had their most productive times in their final days. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., put a series of notable victories on the scoreboard last year after announcing he was leaving. In the clubby Senate, colleagues are often willing to help a sena-

tor get a final few pet initiatives across the finish line, sort of like a parting gift. As he readies himself for some policy fights, Lieberman said he had already seen ads run against colleagues for daring to talk about changes to programs like Social Security and Medicare. Now, he says, he doesn’t have to sweat such possibilities even if he chooses to get out in front on the entitlement issue. “Those are easy subjects to demagogue,” he said. “When you are not running again, you worry less about that.”

N B 14 dead in New York casino bus accident NEW YORK — A tour bus returning from a casino at daybreak Saturday scraped along a guard rail, tipped on its side and slammed into a pole that sheared it nearly end to end, leaving a jumble of bodies and twisted metal along Interstate 95. Fourteen passengers were killed. The bus had just reached the outskirts of New York City on a journey from the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut when the crash happened. The driver told police he lost control trying to avoid a swerving tractor-trailer. The crash happened at 5:35 a.m., with some of the 31 passengers still asleep.

women, who are more likely than men to graduate from college today, yet earn less on average and are outnumbered in subjects such as math and science, he said in his weekly radio address Saturday. “It’s something I care about deeply as the father of two daughters who wants to see his girls grow up in a world where there are no limits to what they can achieve,” he said.

Though they hadn’t spent much time together since high school, Wilcox imagined he and Weber were destined to be lifelong friends. Weber could be “wild,” Wilcox said, but he was also a hard worker who was always there for his friends. “When I heard what happened, it was definitely, ‘That’s Dustin for you,’” Wilcox said. “He was a risk taker. He wanted to be where it’s at. And in Dustin’s eyes — I wouldn’t say invincible — but he lived life.” Saturday, Jon Weber walked eight miles of rocky California coastline looking, unsuccessfully, for any sign of his son. “Nobody else in their right mind would walk that, but I did, because I love my son,” he said.

KABUL, Afghanistan — President Hamid Karzai on Saturday appeared to call for NATO and the United States to cease military operations in Afghanistan, but then issued a clarification saying he was referring only to specific operations that had caused civilian casualties. In a speech Saturday in Asadabad, in Kunar province, the Afghan president told relatives and neighbors of civilian victims that he sympathized with their plight. “With great honor and with great respect, and humbly rather than with arrogance, I request that NATO and America should stop these operations on our soil,” he said. “This war is not on our soil. If this war is against terror then this war is not here; terror is not here.” Karzai’s remarks were made at a memorial service for the victims, in the presence of local officials as well as the second highest ranking American general in Afghanistan, David Rodriguez. “Our demand is that this war should be stopped,” Karzai said. “This is the voice of Afghanistan.” Whether his remarks were premeditated, taken out of context or just an emotional overstatement, his speech was another symptom of a deteriorating relationship between the Afghan president and the U.S. military command. U.S. officials were angered by Karzai’s remarks, said one official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the dispute with Karzai. NATO refrained from any direct response. But a spokesman, who said he could speak only on the condition of anonymity because of orders from superior officers, said the NATO force in Afghanistan “shares President Karzai’s concern about civilian casualties and we will continue working to reduce civilian casualties to an absolute minimum.” A few hours after the speech, Karzai’s spokesman, Waheed Omer, said the president’s remarks had been in the context of two recent cases in Kunar province, one of which NATO conceded had killed nine children in error. In the other incident, Afghan officials maintained that 65 civilians were killed, but NATO officials insist the victims were insurgents, although an investigation is under way. The president had meant that such operations leading to civilian deaths should be stopped, Omer said. “Civilian casualties have been a great source of concern to the president and people of Afghanistan and a big reason behind the current disagreements between our government and the international forces,” Omer said in a statement, which he described as a “clarification” of the speech.

Continued from A1 “It makes perfect sense. That’s how Dustin lived his life. He had no fear,” Butcher said. “What did he say, he’d always say, ‘I’m here for a good time, not for a long time.’ Those were his famous words.” Weber’s father, Jon Weber, said his son recently moved away from Bend and had been living in a 100year-old house on the Yurok Reservation overlooking the mouth of the Klamath River. A Yurok tribal member through his mother, Laurie Davis, Weber had been busy fixing up the house in recent weeks, his father said, visiting with his grandmother, who lives nearby, and making new friends in the area. A 2004 graduate of Mountain View High School, Weber had some run-ins with the law in the past, his father said, but had learned from his mistakes and was excited to be making a fresh start in a new town. Jon Weber said he’s learned that his son had his back turned to the water when a wave came in from an unexpected angle. A friend grabbed at his shirt as the water knocked him down and began dragging him out but was unable to pull him to safety. Jon Weber said he was not surprised that his son would disregard tsunami warnings and be at the beach watching as the waves came in. “He’s flirted with that a couple times, had a rough patch, and escaped some things probably a lot of people wouldn’t have,” Jon Weber said. “This time, it was time for the good Lord to take him. He was happy; he was doing good. I’m going to miss him dearly.” Sean Wilcox said his mother and Weber’s mother are best friends, and the two met when they were barely a month old.

Now they don’t know if they’ll ever find that gear or whether they’ll be able to afford to replace it without significant hardship. “Obviously, it’s our livelihood, and now we don’t know if we’ll have any crab here,” Leslie Wood said. “If that’s gone, we’re screwed.

Many sport and commercial fishermen are in a state of limbo along this section of the Southern Oregon coast, especially those who received the brunt of the damage. According to local authorities, at least two boats are at the bottom of the harbor and six were dragged out to sea. Many others were battered around the port, suffering significant structural and cosmetic damage. The vessel on everyone’s lips is the Lion’s Whelp, a historic schooner built in 1929 that was used as a submarine hunter during World War II. A local resident was trying to restore it before the tsunami pulled it down into the frigid waters. In Crescent City, Calif., the damage was even worse. Harbor officials there say the docks were completely destroyed, and they estimate the total damage to be around $22 million. While many of the vessels were able to get out to sea before the tsunami surges struck, many of those boats can’t come home. On Saturday, authorities were still assessing the damage and had yet to install temporary docks. This meant fishermen had to travel south to Eureka to moor their vessels.

Losing 2 harbors For both Crescent City and Brookings, the loss of their harbors is a crippling one. In Brookings, the port is the center of economic activity, not only because of the sport and commercial fishing seasons, but also because it’s a major draw for tourists. Crescent City is one of the most successful commercial fishing ports in the region, bringing in about $12.5 million a year in seafood sale revenues. While Dungeness crab is the cash crop for both harbors, fishermen also catch tuna and shrimp, and, for the first time in years, would have been able to go out and get salmon. For the most part, the commercial ocean season had been closed for the past several years because of declining fish populations. Bill Wood, who has the calloused, rugged hands of a man who makes his living at sea, said

An environmental cleanup crew motors supplies around Brookings-Harbor port Saturday with a destroyed dock and sunken boat from Friday’s tsunami surge. Commercial fishing in the area has long struggled, and a handful of fishermen attended a press conference with Gov. John Kitzhaber and U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, corralling aides at the conclusion to plead for federal help for the fishing industry. fishermen by their very nature are used to adversity. “We were born into it,” Wood said, standing in the crab shack he owns with his wife. “We have to adapt or die. If you want to be in the fishing business, that’s what you have to do.” Saturday saw several state and federal officials descend on Crescent City and Brookings to survey the tsunami’s devastation first-hand. They watched crews working to clean up the spilled gasoline and oil that painted the harbors with a rainbow-colored sheen.

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber and U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., were in the BrookingsHarbor port around noon. In Crescent City, U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, California Assemblyman Wes Chesbro and a representative of U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer spent their morning with local officials. After getting updates on the damage, all of them promised the same thing: They would do their best to find the money to fix the harbors and restore the fishing industries. “This is our life blood,” Brook-

ings-Harbor Port Manager Ted Fitzgerald said during Kitzhaber’s and Merkley’s news conference. “This port is what drives this area.”

How long to clean up? No one knows for sure how long it will take to repair what has been broken. A U.S. Coast Guard official overseeing the cleanup of the Brookings-Harbor port said it could take months to mop up all the pollution and debris there, and it’s estimated Crescent City won’t have permanent docks installed until the end of 2013. In the meantime, the people whose lives are centered here continue to salvage what they can. Dave DeLong, a sports fisherman in Brookings, walked along the docks Saturday heading for one of his brother’s boats, which

“This is our life blood. This port is what drives this area.” — Ted Fitzgerald, BrookingsHarbor port manager was damaged by the surges. Another of his brother’s boats was underwater. As DeLong appraised the vessel, which had a crack that was filling the hull with water, he looked at the dozens of people around him and said they were doing what they had to to move forward. “They’re just picking up the pieces.” Nick Grube can be reached at 541-633-2160 or at ngrube@bendbulletin.com.

Program that has drawn heat for delays issues vouchers to 21 in Central Oregon

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

Hayes resents harsh scrutiny By Nick Budnick The Bulletin

SALEM — For years, Bend resident Cylvia Hayes’ good relations with state officials have been a boon, helping her win contracts as a green energy consultant. Now she’s finding that her relationship with one official in particular — Gov. John Kitzhaber, her longtime companion — can be a hindrance as well. Hayes refers to herself alternately as the “first lady” and “first partner” and says the post has invited scrutiny that is intrusive, relentless and overblown.

“It’s been very frustrating having my very credible, longstanding professional track record and history scrutinized and attacked,” she said. “I am not the first ‘first partner’ who has to make a living and who has a career that she is totally committed to. … But there are folks that are going to criticize me no matter what we do.” For months, her name has been in the news because of a probe of four Department of Energy officials suspected of steering a state contract her way because of her connection with Kitzhaber.

Seven homeless veterans in Central Oregon found housing this month through a program that has drawn criticism for lengthy delays. Kenny LaPoint, of Redmondbased HousingWorks, manages

the federal housing voucher program, which is designed to help veterans. It’s finally doing just that, following about six months of delays. “We now have 21 people holding vouchers of the 25 available for our area,” LaPoint said. “We will be issuing the remaining

four in the next week or two.” Voucher holders with steady income are required to pay about 30 percent of their income toward rent before the voucher kicks in and covers the balance. Meanwhile, vouchers cover all housing costs, including utilities, for veterans without income. However, some costs, such as security deposits, are not covered by vouchers, says LaPoint. To help out, an anonymous donor has contributed $5,000 to the program.

Fishing indoors

“It feels really good to get people moved in,” LaPoint said. “It’s nice to have it up and going, and the people are very grateful. It’s nice for them to get something back after they served their county.” LaPoint hopes to see the rest of the voucher holders moved into homes in the next 60 days. “It takes folks about 30 to 60 days to find a place to stay,” he said.

Washington Week The U.S. Congress spent the week dueling over a budget and a ticking clock. Earlier this month, Congress adopted a stopgap budget to keep the federal government running. But no compromise has been reached between Republicans — who want to make deep cuts of about $60 billion to reduce the deficit — and Democrats, who say more modest cuts will preserve needed services. Instead, the Senate rejected a budget offered by Republicans as well as another by Democrats — even as the federal government is slated to run out of operating funds next Friday. Talks are reportedly under way to adopt another stopgap budget. According to The New York Times, the short-term bill being considered would span three weeks and include $6 billion in program cuts, likely ones that Democrats had already said are acceptable. Both sides continue to work on a longer-term solution that would extend to Sept. 30. — Nick Budnick

The mysterious smell emanating from an old landfill just west of Southwest Century Drive should be gone for now. Deschutes County filled in sinkholes identified as the culprit. Several employees of businesses near the demolition landfill, as well as people driving along the road, had noticed an odd, hard-to-identify odor that popped up occasionally. County and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality officials went out about two weeks ago to investigate the dump, an 85-acre site that was used for wood waste from lumber mills and, later, construction waste. They found that it was the source of the odor, said Joe Gingerich, an environmental engineer with DEQ. “This has been going on since the early ’90s at least,” he said. “Periodically, these sinkholes form, and then that’s when the odor complaints happen.” Some waste buried in the landfill is decomposing through a heating process that doesn’t involve oxygen, Gingerich said. Some areas are warmer than others, or decompose faster than other sections. “It’s a dynamic situation out there, and these sinkholes form,” he said. When they do, open vents can form, allowing gases to escape and spreading strange smells. See Smell / B6

B2 Sunday, March 13, 2011 • THE BULLETIN

Hayes Continued from B1 Hayes was not a suspect, and the probe led to no charges. But last fall she said she would stop contracting with the state. The publicity over the matter has “damaged me tremendously,” she said. “It is definitely something that I am looking forward to being past.” Recently, she took a new job with a nonprofit intended to promote renewable energy along with rural job creation. But the scrutiny has not stopped, with online critics questioning whether the job carries new risks of influence-peddling. Some say the scrutiny is a sign of the times. “We’re moving past the era where the significant other of an elected official just sits home and knits,” said Janice Thompson, director of Common Cause Oregon, a political watchdog group. Hayes, 43, is a graduate of The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. In 1999, she founded a nonprofit in Bend to teach sustainable living. She’s won awards and was named to a renewable energy advisory committee formed by Gov. Ted Kulongoski. Three years ago, she converted the nonprofit into a for-profit company that won contracts with the state for green energy consulting.

DOJ investigation In August, that relationship came under scrutiny as the state Department of Justice began looking into a contract with the state Department of Energy. Articles in The Oregonian detailed allegations of special treatment, as well as later allegations that the DOJ employed questionable tactics. “Every bit of information that comes out serves to bolster the fact that I didn’t do anything wrong,” Hayes said. A decision is expected soon on potential disciplinary action for the state employees involved. Last fall, Hayes began talking to a Eugene-based nonprofit called Rural Development Initiatives, which the state formed 20 years ago to help create jobs in outlying counties. Until recently, one board member was Greg Wolf, a longtime friend of Kitzhaber’s who served in his first administration and now is his intergovernmental relations director. The nonprofit gets almost all of its funding from private and foundation sources — nearly $3 million in 2009. The group helped with the unsuccessful La Pine cityhood movement in 2000 and fought a white supremacist group’s effort to set up an office in John Day last year. RDI officials had already been interested in becoming more involved in green energy, Hayes said. She encouraged them to make that vision a West Coast effort and introduced RDI to another nonprofit — the Center for State Innovation, a Wisconsinbased group that works on economic, labor and environmental issues, to help on the project. Roughly four months ago, the RDI board told Hayes it was interested in hiring her, she said. Since then they’ve filled in the details. “I have stepped back from my consulting work and chosen to route my work through this really credible not-for-profit organization to avoid any potential conflict of interest — and as many of

“I have stepped back from my consulting work and chosen to route my work through this really credible not-forprofit organization to avoid any potential conflict of interest — and as many of the perception challenges as possible.” — Cylvia Hayes, green energy consultant and Gov. John Kitzhaber’s partner

the perception challenges as possible,” she said. The West Coast Clean Energy Collaborative intends to promote “economic development initiatives that support environmental protection.” Among other things, it will “create partnerships” between the governor’s offices of California, Washington and Oregon, coordinating policies on issues like biomass and the “sustainable forestry” movement that focuses on buying local timber. Hayes says her salary and benefits combined will start at about $60,000. She hopes to “ramp up” to compensation of about $80,000 as the program reaches a planned $300,000 annual budget. To meet that mark, she is spending 70 percent of her time on fundraising and administrative work, with the rest spent on policy initiatives. By this summer, those ratios should be reversed, she said, adding that “One of the aspects of being back in not-for-profit work that I’m not delighted with is the constant fundraising.” The fundraising is why Hayes’ job comes with inherent questions, said Bob Stern, director of the California-based Center on Government Studies. “The ethical questions would be whether she is lobbying (Kitzhaber) … and whether she is using his name to raise money — and whether people are giving to her organization because they want to be in the good graces of him,” said Stern, who formerly headed the California Fair Political Practices Commission. Stern said that if he were Kitzhaber, he’d suggest that Hayes restrict her in-state fundraising from private firms who might seek to curry favor with Kitzhaber. “If I were the governor, I would be going beyond the rules (and say) we’re going to make this very clear that she’s not going to be using my office to enhance her career,” Stern said. Hayes, for her part, stresses that her fundraising will primarily be done from foundations, and potentially the federal government. As for private-sector firms and individuals, she said, “I think that there will be some private donations as well, but I’m not working that angle very hard.” Later, asked about the possibility of firms hoping to curry favor, she said, “I am not having any involvement in securing funds from industry or private companies, so it would be hard for anyone to curry favor when I don’t know who they are.” Craig Smith, executive director

of RDI, said Hayes’ relationship with Kitzhaber played no role in her hiring and is not intended to help with fundraising. He added, “If there was some donation that we didn’t feel comfortable with who was giving it, we certainly could turn it down.” Hayes is not the first first lady to be involved with nonprofits. Kitzhaber’s ex-wife, Sharon, raised money for charitable causes during his first stint as governor. Gov. Ted Kulongoski’s wife, Mary Oberst, did as well. Neither were paid by the nonprofits they promoted. Thompson, of Common Cause, said that she’d be more worried about Hayes influencing Kitzhaber if their interests weren’t so closely aligned. Matt Shinderman, an Oregon State University-Cascades Campus natural resources professor, worked with Hayes on one of her earlier nonprofits. He said that given her highpowered connection, it’s appropriate to watch closely for influence peddling. He agrees with Stern that for appearances’ sake, the couple may want to consider taking additional steps to prevent questionable appearances. But he said the job seems right in line with what Hayes might be doing if she’d never met Kitzhaber. “This is the trajectory she has been on for quite some time,” he said. Under Oregon ethics laws, Hayes is considered a “relative” of Kitzhaber because they share the governor’s mansion during the legislative session, as well as some expenses. Officials are banned from personally making decisions that create a direct financial benefit to their relatives, said Ron Bersin, executive director of the Oregon Government Ethics Commission. But the commission has not been asked whether there might be any implications for Hayes and Kitzhaber, he said. Kitzhaber spokesman Tim Raphael said the entire governor’s office is well-advised on the law. “We’re on it,” he said. He also issued a prepared statement on Hayes’ new post. “Cylvia is a modern woman with a professional career. Like any Oregonian, she has every right to earn a living,” it said. “She loves what she does and she’s good at it. The Governor is very happy for Cylvia to be able to get back to her work on energy and sustainability issues. Her professional experience and expertise will be a real asset to RDI and the Northwest.”

‘Passes the smell test’ In Salem, where lawmakers’ spouses can work for them directly or as lobbyists, Hayes’ job hasn’t raised too many eyebrows. “It sounds harmless enough,” said Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli, R-John Day. Even Jack Roberts, a Republican former state labor commissioner who has been critical of Kitzhaber in the past, says that while the relationship bears scrutiny, Hayes’ new job “passes the smell test.” Hayes, for her part, said that “This is a program that is going to be really good for Oregon and really good for the West Coast — and eventually, hopefully, have national implications and positive impacts as well.” Nick Budnick can be reached at 503-566-2839 or at nbudnick@bendbulletin.com.

Counterfeit honey seized in Salem More than 10,000 gallons of counterfeit honey was seized from a warehouse in Salem, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon. The counterfeit honey, which was discovered to be compound malt sweetener, was imported from Hong Kong and falsely labeled as honey from Thailand. A firm called Eastern Commodity Co. imported the honey to a warehouse in Wisconsin and eventually shipped it to a warehouse in Salem. The seizure was part of an ongoing joint investigation conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Oregon, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago and the Department of Homeland Security.

Man stabbed at area transient camp Police are looking for suspects in a stabbing that occurred Friday evening at a Bend-area transient camp. Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a mobile home park in Deschutes River Woods shortly after 6 p.m. A 46-year-old man who had been at the camp north of Deschutes River Woods and east of the railroad tracks told deputies two men in a white pickup truck had parked alongside U.S. Highway 97 and walked into the camp, where one of the men stabbed him in the arm with a knife. The two men then ran back to the truck and left the area. The victim was treated at the scene and later taken to St. Charles Bend. The Oregon State Police and Bend Police officers joined deputies in an extensive search of the area, but were unable to locate the suspect vehicle.

2 boys, 2 scary ailments Community rallies behind families through treatment By Jennifer Moody Albany Democrat-Herald

ALBANY — Amy and Morgan MacRostie knew something was wrong with their son Mason’s left leg. For several nights last fall, it hurt so badly he couldn’t sleep. Jim and Katrina Atkins had no warning about Brandon. The afternoon of Jan. 19, the Millersburg boy had been fine, playing basketball with his sixth-grade team at Santiam Christian Schools. By evening, he had a headache so severe he couldn’t stop vomiting.

Tumor, burst vessel In both cases, doctors eventually confirmed dangerous conditions: an extra-renal Wilm’s tumor in Mason’s pelvis, a burst blood vessel in Brandon’s brain. Both families have insurance but are still coping with medical and travel bills. Enter Santiam Christian Schools, West Albany High School, Journey Church, and countless other friends, neighbors and well-wishers trying

to make things easier for both families. In Mason’s case, doctors couldn’t pinpoint a cause until the Albany boy woke up Dec. 18 — the day of his birthday party — and his leg was so swollen he could neither walk nor urinate. An ultrasound confirmed the 11-centimeter tumor in the 6year-old’s pelvis. Mason ended up spending his seventh birthday, along with Christmas and New Year’s, at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland. Chemotherapy is working so far, shrinking the tumor to the point where Mason has been able to get back to his first-grade class at Liberty Elementary School. His family is hoping in the next few weeks it will be small enough for surgery. Brandon had emergency surgery at Doernbecher on Jan. 26 to close a burst blood vessel in his brain. The condition, arteriovenus malformation, known as AVM, causes vessels to grow too close together. The operation went so well that he didn’t need a follow-up surgery, but he has lost partial sight in one eye and is undergoing treatment at the Casey Eye Institute. He will also have periodic checkups. The MacRosties still travel to Doernbecher while they wait for

surgery and the chemotherapy and radiation that will follow. “We do have insurance, but his bills are just starting to come in,” Amy MacRostie said. “They’re incredible. We stayed 20 days in the hospital.”

Fundraiser ballgame Santiam Christian’s varsity boys basketball team held a fundraiser game night for the MacRosties and the Atkinses on Feb. 8. The school is still collecting money, and more than $5,500 has been raised, which will be split between the two families. Anthony Baugher, the school’s athletic director, said the team planned the event around Mason first because several people from the school work or go to church with the MacRosties. When Brandon was diagnosed, team members added his name to the fundraiser T-shirts and donation requests. Both families said they have been amazed and grateful for the help. “I can’t say enough about the support they provided,” said Jim Atkins, Brandon’s father. “The team was so wonderful,” said Amy MacRostie, Mason’s mother. “The willingness of people to give in this community has been unbelievable.”

For Josephine County animal officer, hoarding case ranks as worst ever By Stacy D. Stumbo Grants Pass Daily Courier

SELMA — Brad Tally tries to avoid watching the television show “Confessions: Animal Hoarding” on cable TV’s Animal Planet. The Josephine County Animal Protection and Regulation supervisor said he sees enough depressing things in real life. Nothing, however, prepared him for what he found in a shack made of pallets and plywood planks at a home in Selma. “It’s the worst example of hoarding I’ve ever seen,” Tally said. “It’s truly unbelievable.” Last Friday, 81-year-old Geraldine Frain was found dead in the dwelling. Tally said it wasn’t until after law enforcement and the coroner cleared the scene that Animal Protection and Environmental Health were alerted to the deplorable conditions inside.

Pushed back my odor Tally arrived at the scene on Tuesday and was pushed outside by the powerful smell of feces, urine and decomposition. Animal feces, 3 feet deep in some areas, carpeted the room that served as living quarters for Frain and her adult daughter. Pictures of Jesus and Elvis hung on the walls. “It was really eerie,” Tally said. “It’s completely dark, but there were baby clown toys on the ground and dogs coming out of holes in the walls. It was like a horror movie. It was pretty intense.”

Twelve cats were found in cages that were wired shut. Nineteen dogs were scattered throughout the residence — some behind a tall plank that was nailed to the wall. An Illinois Valley Fire District crew had to cuts holes in the walls to give Tally and two Animal Protection officers access to the animals. “They’d throw food over the top,” Tally said. “These dogs were never socialized. … Never petted. Never walked.” Four dead dogs were found in crates. Other, living dogs were found wedged in crates that were far too small for the animals.

Crippled and blind Tally said some were kept confined and in the dark so long that they are blind and unable to walk. Tally suspects it took about five years for the situation to get so bad. Animal hoarding is a compulsive need to collect animals that’s rooted in a desire for love and fear of loss. About 3,500 cases of animal hoarding are reported nationwide each year. Tally said it is the responsibility of neighbors or family members to intervene by calling Animal Protection if they are aware of incidents of animal hoarding or abuse. Tally said the incident should serve as a reminder of the important work his department performs as the county enters budget season.

Fire hits Fort Rock center in ’61 Tennis champ’s health 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 12, 1911 RELICS OF PAST While digging a cellar for a new barn on lots 7 and 8 of Block 20 of Deschutes Addition, Carl Ladewig last Thursday unearthed a remarkable collection of Indian arrows, spearheads, and ancient cutting instruments cunningly fashioned out of stone by the original American inhabitants of Bend. In all there are 84 different pieces, all in perfect condition and a dozen more broken ones. Mr. Ladewig says he found these about three feet below the surface of the ground, all lying together beside a buried rock, much as if they had been carefully concealed perhaps hundreds of years ago by some red skin dweller of the Deschutes. With the stone relics was a piece of birch wood, decayed almost beyond recognition; evidently this was brought from a great distance as birch is unknown in this section. The stone instruments are chipped out of the black glasslike rock found around Glass Butte , about 80 miles southeast of Bend. An interesting feature of the relics is that practically no two of them are alike. They range from five inches in length down to one, and from 2 inches to 1⁄2 an inch in width. Most are shaped like a leaf or spear. All are sharply pointed; some sharp on one edge, some on both, many are curved and shaped in various manners, while on not a few there is a carefully fashioned depression apparently intended to accommodate the thumb of the holder. Certainly all are remarkably well fitted to the hand. There seems a possibility that the cache contained the outfit of some old medicine man, or that the implements were made for use as skinning and gutting knives for the hunters. REGULAR TRAINS The first regular passenger train into Central Oregon arrived in Madras at 9:15 p.m. on March 1st over the tracks of the Oregon Trunk Railway. The train brought 135 passengers. Each evening for the past week from 75 to 125 people have come in over the newly laid rails. The accommodations at Madras are swamped, scores of people each night going without beds. The auto and stage companies are taxed to the utmost to care for the enormous traffic. Twelve carloads of freight were received at Madras the first day the road was open. The OTR is building extensive platforms at Matollus, where they will handle carload shipments. Note to readers: Matollus is the spelling used in the article.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 12, 1936 SAVE THE SWANS (EDITORIAL) The deaths of two swans in the past few days caused by their flying against power wires that cross the river at the mill pond dam and the power dam calls attention to the hazard to the flight of these birds created by the wires. Three or four other swans have preciously been killed in this same manner though none before, we

Y E S T E R D AY believe, at the power dam. Everybody in Bend takes pride in the swans. On the river they join with the ducks and geese in giving a liveliness to the scene. In the air there is a wonder and majesty to their flight such as is seldom witnessed. We cannot afford to lose them from the local scene. Something must be done to save them from this self-destruction on the wires. It is not an answer to cut the wings so that the birds cannot fly. To do so would keep them out of the air and thus deprive us of the pleasure of watching their flight. Now that we have learned that the swans will fly in this vicinity there is no reason for cutting their wings. The thing to be done to save the birds is to do away with the hazard of the wires. Perhaps it would be sufficient to hang something from the wires that the swans could see as they flew along. If this will not bring safety the wires should be put in conduits. The expense would be small and the results important. The swans should be saved. SIGHT, AROMA OF FOOD BREAK PRISON STRIKE The sight and aroma of platters heaped with sizzling steaks — which they did not get — broke the five-day hunger strike of 10 penitentiary convicts, prison officials revealed today. The steaks, surrounded by potatoes, were placed in the punishment cell block where the 10 had been separated from other prisoners following rioting last Saturday. The aroma filled the block. The convicts held a cell-to-cell consultation and shouted for the guards. “We’ll be good,” they cried. “Give us food!” The prisoners were returned to their regular cells. Guards then brought them the regular prison menu — hot oatmeal, coffee and bread.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 12, 1961 FIRE WIPES OUT BUSINESS CENTER OF FORT ROCK A stiff west wind fanned a fire which destroyed the Fort Rock Store Saturday and wiped out the hamlet’s business center. Starting around the flue in the post office section, flames spread to the store, restaurant and, swelling areas of the building, then leaped across to the abandoned and one-time dance hall, directly east of the cafe. The fire was discovered about 4 p.m. by Mrs. Merlin Black, Fort Rock teacher, who was in her school room. She hurried to the Grange Hall where Sid Munnerlyn and Fred Wright were repairing a frozen water line. Mrs. Coca Pervorse also made the discovery and ran across to the store, Mrs. Zella Shaver and the Edwin Shaver family calmly eating their dinner. With only three men in town, Wright organized the effort to save three residences which were down wind of the fire. He called for help on the one remaining link of the old farmer’s telephone line, then headed for Silver Lake to spread the alarm. Andy P. Hergert, owner, away

for the weekend, arrived on the scene around 10 p.m. Among early arrivals were Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon Morehouse who helped save all mail and postal equipment. Mrs. Morehouse has been acting postmaster for the past month. Bud Baert was credited with saving several heavyweight appliances from the flames. Lack of telephone service hampered fire fighting. Dave Fredrickson, Oregon State Police officer, radioed the news to the “outside world” and summoned Midstate Electric crewmen to disconnect service to fallen wires. The store was built in 1935 by a homesteader, John Ernst, for Charles and Rose Alsdorf who opened a rival business in the town’s only other store, now a warehouse. Underground gasoline storage tanks remained intact, although gas pumps resembled blow torches as the fire ignited fumes. Only the Union 76 sign and a charred shower stall remained erect as darkness overtook the scene. The old dance hall, leveled by the fire, was the scene of community gatherings for some 30 years. It was built around 1910, according to E.S. Steigleder, and moved to its present site in 1920. It was the original home of Fort Rock Grange when it was organized about 1930. During the hassle, in 1939, the grange moved three abandoned school houses and joined them to erect the present structure. After a time Dick Schaub was appointed receiver of the old hall, an arrangement still technically in force at the time of the fire. In recent years, however, the structure had fallen into disrepair and was used only for storage. A previous store here burned in 1925 when nearly everyone was away attending a Fourth of July celebration.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 12, 1986 RANCH BUFFALOES AT HOME ON THE RANGE Everybody agrees Lord Terrebonne was king, at least until he was auctioned off and eaten. The lord and five cow buffaloes are the founding of Crooked River Ranch’s buffalo herd, brought to the ranch by former sales director Bob Lord (“Crooked River Bob”) as a tourist attraction. The herd has grown over the years to 16. But some people have begun wishing so many buffalo wouldn’t make a home on the ranch’s range. The buffalo act like—well, like wild animals—and their behav-

ior is getting expensive. If the beasts decide they want to stray from their pasture, for example, “they don’t jump a fence, they’ll just run through it” says Jim Leighton, the ranch’s wrangler. “They go where they want to go.” There was the time a few Octobers ago when a frisky bull buffalo wandered into a neighboring pasture to trade affections with a Simmental cow. The result: a reverse beefalo. Most beefalo—the tasty hybrid of a cow and a buffalo—are born of buffalo mothers and bovine fathers. The hefty beefalo calves normally are too big to be delivered from a cow. It took four men—with the help of a pickup truck and a rope, as local legend has it—to deliver the Crooked River buffalo (or beefabuff). “Maybe he’s not unique, but he’s certainly unusual. Today he’s among the largest of the ranch’s buffalo herd. He can’t moo like a cow — he just grunts like a buffalo.” As for Lord Terrebonne, his reputation for toughness was cemented a decade ago in a face-off with a Lincoln Continental. Seems the Lincoln driver decided he would scare Terrebonne from the roadway by driving toward the beast. Terrebonne knew a challenge when he saw one. His lordship shook his head and walked away from the confrontation. The car limped to a body shop. “The whole front of the Lincoln—the grill and the lights and everything—was just a mess”. But guess who got the last laugh? Terrebonne was auctioned off for $100 in the late 1970s to raise money for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. He was butchered and his head stuffed and mounted in the lobby of the Crooked River Clubhouse. Overall, the buffaloes have made many more friends at the ranch than enemies. “They aren’t mean and surly animals. They’re just exuberant. They’re just like people. If they’re in a bad mood they’re kind of cranky. Basically, they just play and frolic around.” But there’s another reason why people have come to love the buffalo. Read no farther vegetarians. “They’re good eatin’,” says Leighton, who has helped cook at a couple of the Lions Club barbecues. “It tastes good. These are range-fed buffalo.”

woes tell us embolisms can happen to anyone By Jane Glenn Haas The Orange County Register

Word from the tennis world is that Serena Williams’ absence from the game could stretch to almost a year after two new health scares — a blood clot in her lungs followed by a hematoma. The Washington Post reported that the 13-time Grand Slam singles champion hasn’t played an official match since winning Wimbledon in July because of a foot injury she suffered at a restaurant. About the embolism and hematoma, the Post quotes Williams saying her latest health problems are “extremely hard, scary and disappointing. I am doing better. I’m at home now and working with my doctors to keep everything under control.” Williams is 29. We tend to associate hematomas and embolisms with older patients. So we asked the opinion of Dr. Steven Schiff, a cardiologist and medical director of invasive cardiovascular services for the MemorialCare Heart and Vascular Institute of Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif. “Actually,” he says, “This can happen to anybody — usually from sitting in a cramped position for a long time, or to a patient who is put on prolonged bed rest, and sometimes someone who has had hip or knee surgery.” The solution is usually compression stockings and blood thinner.

A pulmonary embolism is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches — usually by a blood clot that has traveled from the

deep veins in the legs. I’ve had one from sitting too long in an airplane seat — economy coach syndrome, they call it. But Serena is an athlete. Are they susceptible? While it’s not common for the normal, healthy population walking around, it does happen. The good news is that once we make a diagnosis, most patients survive.

Q: A:

Can you go into detail?

Q: A:

What are the symptoms?

The risk is a clot in the leg goes traveling and ends up in the lung. It can also come from other places, of course — like the pelvis or arms — but usually it comes from the leg.

Swollen legs are one. Other definitions include difficulty breathing, chest pain and palpitations. Clinical signs include low blood oxygen, saturation and cyanosis, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate. Severe cases can lead to collapse, abnormally low blood pressure and sudden death.

Q: A:

So how do you diagnose this condition? Diagnosis is based on these clinical findings in combination with laboratory tests and imaging studies, usually a CT pulmonary angiography. Treatment is typically with anticoagulant medication, including heparin and warfarin.

Q: A:

You said nobody’s exempt? You can’t keep it from happening, but it doesn’t happen very often.

Older drivers have narrower field of vision, study finds McClatchy-Tribune News Service Older drivers may have a breadth of driving experience working for them behind the wheel. But a new study finds they tend to have a narrower field of vision than younger drivers and often miss developments on the curb or sidewalk that could demand their attention. The study, published online Monday by the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention, found

that drivers older than 65 were half as likely to notice pedestrians near or moving toward the street as were experienced drivers between the ages of 28 and 45. Placing the two groups of drivers in a simulator and in front of videos taken from a driver’s eye view, researchers from BenGurion University of the Negev, Israel, found that older drivers took longer to respond to road hazards as well.

O Carly Christine Phillips July 8, 1984 - March 8, 2011 Carly, born July 8, 1984, passed away Tuesday, March 8, in Bend, Oregon. A lover of the outdoors, Carly resided in Missoula, Montana, near the beautiful Glacier and Yellowstone National parks with her longtime love, Mike Elliott, their dog, Bruce and their two Carly Phillips cats, Truck and Olive. Carly was a graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in Sociology and a masters degree in Environmental Sociology from the University of Montana. She had a passion for helping people, especially children and young adults, and had recently worked for EPI in Missoula, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing field science partnerships that teach high school students to address critical conservation issues. When Carly wasn’t busy working, she was off on her next adventure. She spent time with her family and boyfriend camping, hiking, fly-fishing and enjoying the beauty of Central Oregon and Montana. Carly was raised in Pleasant Hill and graduated from College Park High School in 2002. She began her undergraduate studies at OSU while her family relocated to Bend, Oregon. After graduation, she spent time in Ecuador volunteering with an animal rescue center in the Andes Mountains. When she returned home, she moved to Portland and began work at Multnomah Outdoors School on the Sandy River. Carly taught children about the outdoors and the importance of a clean environment. She had the utmost love and respect for the kids that came from tough situations and were looking for ways to make their lives better. After leaving the Outdoors School, she accepted a job at Reynolds High School in Gresham, Oregon, as an interpreter and night instructor for Spanish speaking students seeking their GED. She was inspired by her students’ work ethic and courage. Carly loved Montana and was thrilled to accept a full ride scholarship to attend the University of Montana, Missoula, where she had settled down with her boyfriend, Mike and their beloved pets. The common thread through her life’s experiences is her concern for others and the grace with which she carried herself. Carly was such a kind person and always looked for the best in the world. Her idealism inspired all of us to live better lives and be kinder to people. Although her life was far too short, she made a lasting impression in our hearts that will never be forgotten. Carly is survived by her parents, Kevin and Sandy Phillips; sister, brother-in-law and niece, Michelle, Kyle and Maybel Watt all of Bend; boyfriend, Mike Elliott of Missoula; grandparents, Jerry and Janice Phillips; aunts and uncles, Heather and Chad Cola, Greg and Jen Phillips, all of Walnut Creek, Steve and Melissa Phillips of Bend; and six young cousins. On her mother’s side, she leaves behind grandparents, Robert and Patricia Ferguson; aunts and uncles, Erin and John Mayall, Robin and Robin Gonzales, and five young cousins. A small memorial was held on March 12, in Bend for family and friends. A celebration of her life is being planned for later this spring. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Carly Phillips scholarship fund at EPI. Contributions should be made online at http://www.ecologyproject.org /donate or sent to 315 S. 4th St. E.

Laurine "Laurie" June Callen Blaisdell, loving wife, daughter, mother, big sister, friend, and grandmother passed away on March 7, 2011, after a courageous 8 1/2 year battle with ovarian cancer. She was 53. Laurie was Laurine June born on June Blaisdell 2, 1957, in Bellflower, California, to Dale and Anna (Martin) Callen. In 1971, the family moved to Vista, California, where in 1975, Laurie graduated from San Marcos High School. On November 22, 1980, Laurie married Charles Wayne Blaisdell of Vista, California, and moved to San Marcos, California, where they spent the next 17 years raising their family. Laurie was a school bus driver for special needs children and an elementary school computer lab technician before moving to Terrebonne, Oregon, in 1997. In Oregon, she proudly continued her favorite job as, "Domestic Goddess!" Laurie spent her lifetime loving all animals, and had very close friendships with many wonderful dogs and two cats of her own. She could often be found feeding the wildlife that frequented their home. Laurie loved horses, but was not able to ride, until close friends and family gave her many opportunities in the last few years of her life. She said that her cancer "always blew away in the dust of her horses' hooves," when she rode. Riding was the most therapeutic activity she'd ever experienced. Laurie also loved crafts of many kinds and was always trying to get the next beautiful project or gift finished, usually for a loved one. Laurie is survived by her parents, Dale and Anna Callen; her husband, Charles Blaisdell; sons, Jared and Christopher (Susan); and her daughter, Theresa (Randall). Other survivors include her sister, Cindy (Ron) Lund; her brothers, Phillip (Gina) Callen, Paul (Beverley) Callen; plus bonus brothers and sister, Dana Pinard, Todd McBride, and Janine Bliss.

MARVIN JOHN LABSCH Marvin John Labsch was born to Virgil and Maxine (Balthis) Labsch on July 27, 1951, in Portland, Oregon, and passed from this life in Bend, Oregon, on February 23, 2011, at age 59. He and his wife of 38 years, Gladys (Wilson) were married on September 8, 1972. Together they raised three children, Jennifer McKee (Stephen) of Silverdale, WA, John Craig (Ceci) of Portland, OR, and Bill Craig (deceased 1994.) Marv was very proud of his children. He delighted in his three granddaughters, Mollie, Megan, and Emily. Marv graduated from Parkrose High School in 1969 and continued his education at Portland State University and Oregon College of Education (now Western University.) He was honored to serve in the Air National Guard 244th Mobile Communications Squadron for 6 years. After 24 years as an officer with the Portland Police Bureau, Marv retired to Bend to take advantage of the fresh air and many bike trails – most of which he knew by heart. He played guitar & banjo – loved bluegrass, country, and music in general. He had an incredible gift and love for leather crafting; entering his projects in the Deschutes County Fair over the years gave him great pleasure along with a few ribbons. In July of 2009, Marv was diagnosed with advanced cancer, yet through his positive attitude, bravery, and determination, he showed all those around him what it means to live strong. He never lost his beautiful smile. Marv was an honest man who treasured his family and loved his home and his Country. A cowboy at heart, he lived by his own motto, “Always make the right decisions, for the right reasons.” He will be missed. A Celebration of Life for Marv’s friends and family will take place on Saturday, April 2nd from 4 – 5:30 pm in the Great Hall Complex at Sunriver.

ELWOOD DOUGLAS SHAW AGE 95 : BORN: JAN. 23, 1916 ~ DIED: FEB. 22, 2011 Elwood “EL” Shaw lived in the Redmond/Powell Butte area for about the last 76 years. He was born in Scobey, Montana where his family had homesteaded. But when he was only 3 years old, due to severe winters, they moved back to northern Iowa where most of the rest of the family was. When Elwood was about age 19, his father’s failing health prompted them to move to Central Oregon for a drier climate. But at age 57, his father, David Palmer Shaw died of emphysema/tuberculosis. Elwood promised his father that he would care for his mother, Clara Ellen Shaw, and he kept his word. He provided for her needs until her death in 1969. He married Earla “Sunny” Hockett on May 8, 1953 instantly gaining a son, Douglas Randall Hockett age 5, and a daughter, Marcheta Inez Hockett, age 2 years and 9 months. Then near the end of 1954 Sunny delivered his second son, Kenneth Elwood Shaw. Elwood was a farmer and laborer, having worked for Central Oregon Irrigation District for 54 years. He was known by many throughout this area but sadly, outlived most of his oldest and dearest friends and family. His wife “Sunny” passed away on Valentine’s Day 2001. Coincidentally, exactly ten years to the day later, Elwood moved to Boise, Idaho to live near his son Ken and daughter-in-law, Michelle.

Sadly, just eight days later, he died due to a bleeding ulcer that was inoperable and previously undetected. “El” loved to be outdoors and spent most of his early years in it. He hunted deer and pheasants and fished often. His life’s work was outdoors as well. He was also a skilled craftsman with wood. He enjoyed making all kinds of wood/art. Examples are: log cabin/smoke stands, replicas of stagecoaches and covered wagons which he made into lamps, wishing wells, miniature rocking chairs, exploding outhouses, etc. There is no end to the varied items he made for his and others enjoyment. But he would not sell any of his “creations”. Only give them as gifts. He enjoyed telling stories of “The Old Days”. He recently commented that the reason he had not kept in touch with most of the “Shaw” clan back in Iowa, was because they lived too far away and it was difficult to get together. Although it may only have been 30 miles, the roads back then were poor and his family traveled by horse drawn wagon up until his late teens. So, compared to today, it was more like 300 miles. Elwood was preceded in death by his mother and father; brothers, Gayle and Shirley; and his wife, Earla “Sunny” Shaw. He is survived by his three children, six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and another expected to arrive in late September. He will be laid to rest at Redmond Memorial Cemetery on March 19, 2011 at 11 A.M. A “Celebration of his life” will follow at 12:30 P.M. at Papa’s Pizzeria on north Hwy 97 in Redmond. Any and all who knew Elwood are invited to attend both. Please sign our guest book at redmondmemorial.com

county had stopped measuring the temperature after a worker fell into a sinkhole in 2009, injuring himself. DEQ would like the county to renew its monitoring — safely, of course — and check for methane gas emissions, too. “The goal here is to stay on top of it, and look for changes,” he said. The state agency is also concerned about what would happen if oxygen gets into the landfill, since it could start a fire — which would be difficult to fight. “It’s an important discussion to have with the fire department,

and have something in place for responding to a situation if it arose,” he said.

Report odors For now, however, people should contact DEQ or Deschutes County if they notice strange smells coming from the area west of Century Drive. “We do get the odor complaints periodically,” said Gingerich. Kate Ramsayer can be reached at 541-617-7811 or at kramsayer@bendbulletin.com.

Vouchers Continued from B1 “It depends on what issues they have, and we are making sure the property managers are aware of what’s going on. Sometimes it can take awhile to find places that work, but that’s OK because we’re moving forward.” Last year, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced the vouchers would be made available in July of 2010. They were never released, however, because the department failed to hire a caseworker to serve the area. U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, visited veterans in January to inform them he was pressing the issue, saying that news of the delay made his “blood boil.” Walden spokesman Andrew Whelan said the representative pushed the issue with the Veterans Affairs office in Portland and met with members of the Veterans Affairs Committee in Washington, D.C. As a result, the VA hired a caseworker for the area in January, and the vouchers began to be released in February. Erik Hidle can be reached at 541-617-7837 or at ehidle@bendbulletin.com.

Oysterville Sea Farms was built in the 1930s as the Northern Oyster Co., which operated as a cannery until 1967. Today it is the last surviving oyster business in Oysterville.

Washington’s Willapa Bay is heaven on Earth for shellfish lovers By John Gottberg Anderson • For the Bulletin OYSTERVILLE, Wash. — “He was a bold man that first ate an oyster.” Three centuries have passed since British satirist Jonathan Swift penned those words, yet the phrase seems timeless. As with beets and Brussels sprouts, the eating of oysters inspires no indecisiveness. Diners either love them or they don’t. I’m in the former category.

Several dozen fresh oysters await shucking at the Oysterville Sea Farms. More than 23 percent of all U.S. oysters, nearly 5 million pounds a year, are drawn from the waters of Washington’s Willapa Bay.

Student-built robot ready to compete High school students will take their creation to Seattle, Portland

Help the Droids Each year, the High Desert Droids must raise $25,000 to build their robot for competition. According to Kim Thwaits, the group is about $2,300 short of that goal. Donations can be sent to MVHS-Robotics, 2755 N.E. 27th St., Bend, OR 97701. Contact: www.team753.com or e-mail robotics@bend broadband.com.

The High Desert Droids Robotics Team, a group of about 27 Mountain View and Bend High school students, will head to Seattle later this week to compete in the FIRST Robotics Competition on Friday and Saturday at Qwest Field Event Center. The following week, the team will participate in another FIRST robotics competition in Portland, to be held March 25 and 26 at Memorial Coliseum. The High Desert Droids’ robot for both contests — which should draw in the neighborhood of 100 teams each — is named “e^πi+10,” pronounced “Nine” because that’s what that equation equals. (These seem like bright kids. We’ll take their word for it.) FIRST stands for “For Inspi-

who co-created the organization to help American kids keep up internationally in the fields of science and math. Droids team member Keen-

an Molner, 17, is a Bend High School senior, who among other tasks manages to make sure the Droids adhere to a 128-page rulebook — and that’s without the code documentation, part-data sheets and the instructions for the robot’s control and communication systems, adds Molner. Each January, FIRST issues its challenge to teams around the world via live broadcast aired on NASA-TV. See Robot / C7

Sailor’s mom touched It’s decision time by public appreciation on ‘Bachelor’ finale Dear Abby: I’m the mother of a U.S. Navy sailor who has been the recipient of random acts of kindness from complete strangers. I was most affected personally when a woman stopped us in a large parking garage in Chicago to say, “Thank you for your service, young man.” And there was a stranger who paid for my son’s meal in an airport when he had a layover on his way home for Christmas. Another time, we were in a line to see a movie and the attendant waved us to the front of the line — and everyone smiled about it. Whenever my son goes anywhere in uniform, he’s stopped by people who just want to say thank you. I’m amazed and thrilled. Part of the reason I am so touched is I was a teenager living in San Diego during the Vietnam era. At that time, young people in the military were cursed and reviled. It was a shameful time in our history when people serving their country could not be proud of their service. Today, I am proud of my son, and he is able to be proud of himself and his decision to enlist in the Navy. So, thank you to all you folks who show your gratitude to our service members by the little things you do. You not only touch that person, but their extended family as well. — Proud Mom in Overland Park, Kan. Dear Proud Mom: I’m pleased to pass along your sentiments — and honored you chose me to be the messenger. All of us owe our thanks and support to those brave young men and women who have dedicated themselves — and who risk their lives — in service to our country. Not only should we thank them when we see them, but we should also pray for their safe return. Dear Abby: I work in a large department store attached to a shopping mall. Because many of

DEAR ABBY

the stores have no restrooms, customers come into our store to use the facilities. I’m happy they do because it gives us more business. However, I’m confused by some of the patrons. I think it shows good manners to end a cell phone call when visiting a restroom. While I was in there today, a woman entered the stall next to me and continued talking on her phone the entire time she was in there! It’s disgusting, but it happens all the time. I’m uncomfortable using the restroom while someone is on the phone, and I’d be very offended if I was on the other end of the line. What’s proper etiquette regarding cell phones in public restrooms? Is there anything I could say to someone who does this? — Trying to Do My Business Dear Trying: Your complaint is one I’m hearing increasingly often. For your safety, I do not advise correcting the manners of a stranger. While common sense and consideration for others (including the person on the other end of the line as well as the occupant of the next stall) would dictate conversation be put on hold while on the toilet, nothing you or I can do will prevent this invasion of personal privacy — short of bringing a loud whoopee cushion with you during breaks and squeezing it in self-defense. P.S. If you think we have it bad in the ladies’ room, I have also heard about men talking on their cell phones while standing at the urinals. Heaven help us.

“The Simpsons” 8 tonight, Fox Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong voice their cartoon likenesses in a new episode of “The Simpsons.” Could this be a sign that the show has gone to pot? “The Bachelor” 8 p.m. Monday, ABC It’s time for Brad Womack to make a decision, and you know what happened the last time the hunky Texan was in this position: He couldn’t pull the trigger. We’re told that he does, indeed, hand out a final rose in the finale, but who will it go to — Emily or Chantal? As usual, a retrospective special will follow, looking back on all the highs and lows of a crazy season. “V” 9 p.m. Tuesday, ABC The season finale of “V” arrives tonight, and we have questions: Will Anna (Morena Baccarin) be taken down before she decimates humanity? More importantly: Will the show be back for another season? “Roast of Donald Trump” 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Comedy Central Expect plenty of bad-hair jokes during the “Roast of Donald Trump.” On hand to insult the pompous business tycoon are, among others, Seth MacFarlane, Larry King and Snoop Dogg. “Mr. Sunshine” 9:31 p.m. Wednesday, ABC Singer James Taylor makes a guest appearance on “Mr. Sunshine.” He plays an exhusband of Crystal’s (Allison

Janney), who’s seeking closure to a relationship that undoubtedly featured its share of fire and rain. “Bones” 9 p.m. Thursday, Fox On “Bones,” Brennan and Booth (Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz) get trapped in an elevator when a snowstorm knocks out power to the city. Sounds like a good time for the two of them to get closer.

Hey Mary, did you know you could win $500 and a weekend at the coast?

REALLY?! Just for filling out a local survey online?

“Supernanny” 8 p.m. Friday, ABC Say it isn’t so, Jo! The “Supernanny,” Jo Frost, calls it quits in the series finale (she wants to start her own family), leaving stressed-out parents across America to fend for themselves. “Time After Time” 9 p.m. Saturday, Hallmark Channel John-Boy Alert: “The Waltons” star Richard Thomas surfaces in “Time After Time.” It’s a TV movie about a man from the future who tries to help his present-day self get his love life together. Yeah, we’re confused, too.

MEANWHILE THE EXCITEMENT OF WINNING $500 AND A WEEKEND AT THE COAST IS SPREADING ACROSS CENTRAL OREGON ... The survey was so easy! I can’t believe I can win $500 for something so simple!!

Archie

Archie is a big teddy bear looking for a home to call his own. He was brought to the shelter as a stray and sadly was never reclaimed. Archie is a Border Collie mix about 9-years-old. He is very well mannered fellow but has a lot of energy and will need an active home. Archie is also very people oriented and enjoys just being part of the gang. If you think that Archie is the dog you have been searching high and low for, come down and adopt him today!

CNN’s Latin sister looks to capture a booming market By Larry Rohter New York Times News Service

ATLANTA — New programs, new talent, new sets, a fancy new studio in Miami and a new logo featuring an outsize, stylized tilde. In an effort to broaden its appeal to Hispanic viewers in the United States, CNN en Espanol, the Spanish-language branch of the cable news giant based here, is undergoing a fundamental reconfiguration of both its content and image. Gone is the repetitive traditional half-hour hard-news block that has been the Spanish network’s sustenance since it began broadcasting 14 years ago this week, replaced by informational, magazine-style shows meant to reinforce the new slogan “Live the news.” Three of those programs made their debuts last week: a business, investment and money-management show called “CNN Dinero”; a late-night wrap-up called “Conclusiones”; and a live, three-hour morning show called “Cafe CNN.” “We started this network very much focused on Latin America, and that remains a priority market for us,” said Tony Maddox, executive vice president and managing director of CNN International. But it’s also “clear that the Hispanic population of the United States is growing, and growing at a rapid rate, and that it is a market underserved by the kind of news service we can provide.”

U.S. strategy CNN en Espanol is available in 30 million homes “from Alaska to Patagonia,” as the network’s executives like to say. But fewer than 5 million of those households are in the United States, and the network’s new strategy, whose rollout began on Nov. 22 and will continue throughout the spring, is aimed at redressing that imbalance. “This is probably the most significant makeover and push in the channel’s history, and there obviously has been a lot of strategic planning involved,” said Alan Albarran, director of the Center for Spanish Language Media at the University of North Texas, outside Dallas. “And it’s smart of them to

approach it as a long-term project, because there’s no way this can happen overnight.” CNN en Espanol has long operated bureaus in Mexico City and Buenos Aires and had correspondents in nearly every Latin American capital, as well as in global flashpoints like Jerusalem. Now the network is beefing up its Los Angeles and New York bureaus, and it recently opened the studio in Miami, which contributes three hours of live programming daily and provides experts and commentators for shows that originate from Atlanta. “Part of what these bureaus have done is to inject more content from the United States, so that we have a much better balance than we did before,” said Eduardo Suarez, the network’s vice president for programming. “Miami is the capital of Latin America in the U.S., offering a vision of the Hispanic world you can’t get from Atlanta.”

Population boom The makeover has coincided with the release of early data from the 2010 Census that shows that the Hispanic population of the United States grew by more than 40 percent over the past decade, to about 50 million people. The United States is now the secondlargest Spanish-speaking country in the world, with more Spanish speakers than Spain, and exceeded only by Mexico. Projections suggest that the number is likely to more than double again by the middle of the century, when nearly one-third of the population is expected to be of Hispanic origin. The format of many of CNN en Espanol’s new offerings will no doubt be familiar to viewers of English-language television. “CNN Investiga,” which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sundays beginning next month, resembles CBS’s “60 Minutes,” while Carlos Montero, an affable Argentine who is making the transition from morning hardnews anchor to host of the “Today”style “Cafe CNN,” said, “They are turning me into Matt Lauer.”

Oysterville oysters The hamlet of Oysterville — it can’t even be termed a village — is one of the most isolated enclaves on the Pacific coast. Founded in 1854 on the Long Beach Peninsula, on the northwest shore of Willapa Bay, it is located near the end of a road that deadends 20 miles from Ilwaco, at the mouth of the Columbia River. Several hundred settlers made their homes here through the 1870s. They shipped bushels of small native oysters on schooners to San Francisco, where wealthy miners traded gold for the tiny treasures. But by the 1880s, lacking a convenient rail connection, the population was dwindling. By 1920 most homes had been abandoned. Most, but not all. “When you live in a ghost town, it’s hard to imagine how things were,” said 50-year-old Dan Driscoll, who lives alone in his quiet home, one of a handful of modern Oysterville residents. Driscoll’s mother was once a student at the one-room schoolhouse. His father grew up in nearby Ocean Park, and Driscoll spent every summer of his youth traveling from the family’s Seattle home to their property in Oysterville. He remembers when Oysterville was designated a National Historic District in 1976. Nine homes built between 1863 and 1878 were specifically acknowledged, along with the 1892 Oysterville Church, the 1907 schoolhouse and the 1919 Oysterville Store & Post Office. Walking-tour maps are dispensed today at the little church, even though no formal services have been held there since the 1930s. That was about the time three partners built the Northern Oyster Co. at First and Clark Streets, anything but a busy intersection. The ramshackle buildings survive on a low rise above the Willapa mud flats. Operated as a cannery until 1967, they are today the Oysterville Sea Farms, the last oyster business in Oysterville. Sometime after the cannery closed, the buildings came into the possession of Dan Driscoll’s parents. “For most of my lifetime, they were the barn without the farm,” Driscoll mused. The “farm” came after the senior Driscolls gave the property to their son. “It was hard to know at the time if it was a liability or an asset,” Dan confessed. But having already purchased 10 acres of Willapa Bay tideland — Washington is the only state in which tidal property can be privatized — he decided to find out. “I wanted to save the buildings,” said the 21st-century oyster farmer. “I had to find a business to support that.” After opening Oysterville Sea Farms in 1991, Driscoll gradually expanded his tideland holdings to about 200 acres. He established Willabay, a company that markets not only oysters and clams, but also produces cereals, cookies, cranberry confections and specialty wine; Oyster Blanc is a blend produced specially for Willabay by Washington’s Mount Baker Vineyards. As I spoke with Driscoll, he kept busy shucking fresh oysters. And as he shucked, we ate. We ate small Kumamoto oysters, large Pacific oysters and sizes in between, straight from the shell with nothing more than a squeeze of lemon. “The only place to get an Oysterville oyster is in Oysterville,” Driscoll said. “Most Willapa Bay oysters are shipped out of here, but my oysters we do not ship at all.” Driscoll left a promising career in the music industry in Los Angeles when he settled in Oysterville. He still writes and records

A mountain of dried oyster shells, called a “cultch,” dwarfs a backhoe near the harbor at Nahcotta. Shells are returned to the brackish bay water to provide “seed” upon which oyster larvae can develop. Nearly every Willapa Bay restaurant has oysters on the menu. The Shelburne Inn baked them with cheese and served them with a crab cake and Caesar salad spear. music locally, and his pride and joy hangs on the wall, a guitar autographed by the great Les Paul. “Keep pickin’,” reads the signature. “I assumed he meant oysters,” Driscoll joked.

A shellfish lesson A larger commercial oysterfarming operation is based on a wharf at Nahcotta, four miles south of Oysterville. From this vantage point, visitors could once look out onto Willapa Bay and see tiny oyster stations built on pilings in the offshore mud, work places and shelters for oyster crews and homes for some of their families. These stations are long gone. But the volunteer-staffed Willapa Bay Interpretive Center has recreated one of these small oyster stations on the south side of this wharf. Normally open only on summer weekends, the local port authority may be persuaded to unlock the doors by special request at other times. Though small, this center is a fine place to study this unique mollusk. A seven-minute film (a new one is in preparation) provides an introduction. Historical photographs, descriptive text, working models and knowledgeable docents all contribute to the discovery experience. The native Willapa Bay oyster, I learned, was so depleted in numbers by 19th-century harvesting that an East Coast bivalve, the larger Virginia oyster, was introduced in the 1880s. The two species were farmed together in the bay until 1919, when disease destroyed the population. Beginning in the early 1920s, Pacific oysters were introduced from Japan. Around the time World War II began, they started rapidly reproducing in a manner that allowed the Willapa Bay oyster industry to revive. A great many mollusks were frozen and shipped to American troops overseas. Although their numbers have again waned, they remain a major crop. Modern farmers typically start with oyster larvae, which may be purchased from a hatchery. One million larvae cost more than $100 but weigh only a little over half an ounce. These are seeded in the spring on old shells and planted on the tide flats, either directly on the mud, upon nylon mesh bags packed with seed shell, on trays

suspended in the water on platforms, or on highly visible “longlines” hung between poles set in the bay. The piles of seed shell are called “cultch,” and as many as 50 larvae per shell attach themselves and grow as “spat,” reaching a size of a half-inch across in about two months. By summer, the spat may be moved to other parts of the bay where they will reproduce and grow better. A skilled oyster farmer takes into account a variety of tidal conditions: changes in temperature and oxygen levels, the blend of salt and fresh water, sediment driven by rainfall, and other factors. It may take three to five years — and a change of gender — before the oysters are ready for harvest by hand or by dredge. Usually at about 3 years old, a male oyster becomes a female. The reason is unclear. But by the time the shellfish have reached maturity, they may be as large as 6 inches long. After harvest, the shellfish are shucked, with the old shells piled and left to dry in giant white mounds before being replanted as new seed. Commercial operations spend the winter months canning and shipping the product. All this I learned from the Wil-

lapa Bay Interpretive Center. But pearls? Not likely. When a grain of sand filtering through an oyster becomes lodged in its soft mantle, the mollusk heals itself by wrapping the irritating particle with layers of its shiny inner lining. On rare occasions, Willapa oyster farmers will find a small hard pearl. But most pearls come from Asian oyster farms where the particles are intentionally introduced.

Where to eat The most important thing to know about oysters is where to eat them. Not unexpectedly, there are a plethora of choices around the shores of Willapa Bay. For 25 years, Jimella Lucas and

Nanci Main owned a restaurant called The Ark on the Nahcotta wharf. It gained them a national following. They sold The Ark in 2004, but barely two years had passed before they were back in the business of feeding grateful patrons. Now, at Nanci & Jimella’s Klipsan Market Cafe, the women serve five lunches and three dinners a week, along with a Sunday brunch. I dropped by for the brunch and was delighted with a Hangtown fry, a traditional oyster omelet with bacon, spinach and cheese. Down the road is the 1896 Shelburne Inn, long known for regional fine dining. Chef Richard Windrich serves a grilled wild king salmon steak on a bed of polenta, with fresh oysters in a reduced brandy-cream sauce. At the historic Depot Restaurant, in a century-old train station, owner-chef Michael Lalewicz panfries a half-dozen local oysters and presents them with a roasted-garlic aioli dipping sauce and Yukon Gold smashed potatoes. And in neighboring Ilwaco,

owner-chef Jeff McMahon, formerly of Portland’s Saucebox restaurant, serves pan-fried oysters with grilled asparagus and a mustard-shallot sauce. I didn’t get morning oysters at the Boreas Bed & Breakfast Inn, where I stayed, but I didn’t feel deprived. Continued next page

Oyster boats dock beside the piers at Bay Center, a small fishing village on a peninsula in northeastern Willapa Bay. Several major oyster companies have facilities along the shore near here. “But he was a God-fearing man, and he refused to take the whiskey off those boats. He found it beneath the dignity of his oxen.” I later consulted a small volume on Oysterville history and discovered that, indeed, one F.C. Davis was credited with selling the cemetery land to the city. Clearly, Oysterville has a hold on the people who love it.

Pete Davis has local roots that go back to the 1850s, when his great-great grandfather was a pioneer resident of Oysterville. Davis now lives in nearby Ocean Park and makes a living as a musician. From previous page Owners Susie Goldsmith and Bill Verner made sure I was wellfed and comfortable in their fiveroom home in Long Beach. And I could see the waves crashing upon the Pacific shoreline from my window.

Working class While the resort towns are on the western shore of Willapa Bay, the working-class communities are on the east side of the estuary. Forty miles northeast of Long Beach, where the Willapa River enters the bay, the twin communities of Raymond and South Beach have their own bustling brand of activity. The logging business is not what it once was, and Raymond is pretty quiet these days. The city government has invested in a civic sculpture project that has lined the arterials with dozens of two-dimensional wildlife figures, but it’s not enough in itself to attract tourism. Its two excellent small museums — the adjoining Northwest Carriage Museum and Willapa Seaport Museum — are often recommended but have limited opening hours. As the Pacific County seat, South Bend boasts the handsome Pacific County Courthouse. It’s a historic art deco-era treasure, with a 1920s art glass dome and historic murals throughout. The Pacific County Historical Museum has a small but well considered collection of artifacts, including items from centuries of oystering. About 15 miles southwest of South Bend, the village of Bay Center, on a peninsula that ex-

tends into Willapa Bay, has a thriving oyster business. Goose Point Oysters, Ekone Oysters and Seasonal Seafoods are located in or near the town, and at almost any daylight hours, curious visitors can watch the scows heading in and out from the harbor. The south end of Willapa Bay is dominated by eight-mile Long Island, part and parcel of the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge. More than 250 species of waterfowl, raptors and migratory birds live in the refuge, along with Roosevelt elk and substantial numbers of black bear. A trail near refuge headquarters, facing the island along U.S. Highway 101, weaves along a quiet inlet with substantial bird life of its own. I had a companion as I drove past the refuge en route back to Long Beach. Pete Davis had approached me for a ride at a South Bend coffee house. Tall and slender, with far more white hair on his chin than on his head, he was en route to his peninsula home after playing a series of Seattle-area gigs as a fiddler and mandolinist. Davis was glad to have someone to listen to his stories for an hour or so. I was glad to listen. “My great-great grandfather was a Scotsman named Fernando Cortez Davis,” he related. “He was one of the first people to live in Oysterville, back in the 1850s. He owned the land that is now the Oysterville cemetery. “Fernando had two big oxen, Moses and Aaron, who were his constant companions. When the oyster schooners came in, he and his oxen would unload their freight and deliver it to the local stores.

Blooming centerpieces: Add a bright burst of color to your tablescape with centerpieces that are reminiscent of window boxes on a spring day. To create them, spray-paint low wooden boxes white, and line them with floral foam. Cover the foam with sheets of wheatgrass (which is sold in flats), then use a knife to poke a dozen holes through both layers. Place a poppy or tulip stem with a water tube in each opening. Stationery: Though its purpose is ordinary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to inform guests of the order of events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; your programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be. A simple decorative upgrade will set your main event apart from the rest. â&#x20AC;˘ Add a brad: An everyday supply turns loose pieces of paper into a polished pamphlet. Print your program information on rectangular pages, then cut the corners to look like tags. Select various shades of the same color paper for an ombre effect, and use a heavier card stock for the cover. Stack, punch a hole and insert the fastener. â&#x20AC;˘ Add confetti: Rather than handing out a separate toss for the recessional, attach packets of paper confetti to your programs with double-sided tape.

When the champagne and cake are gone, you can still display the modern take on a cake topper, like these paper sculpted weddingcake toppers from Concarta.

Wedding touches, both big and small By Melissa Magsaysay Los Angeles Times

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the midst of planning a wedding, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in luck: Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brides-to-be have a wide range of stylish options. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start at the top. It might seem like a last-minute detail, but a cake topper can make a wedding cake come to life and, more important, turn a tower of flour and fondant into a personal statement. Consider the work of paper sculptor Gwen Barba, who creates amazing toppers, made from acid-free paper, containing every last detail of a wedding dress, veil and tuxedo. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll even include glasses, dress embellishments and sculptures of your dog(s) if you so desire. When the champagne and cake are gone, you can still display the modern take on a cake topper. (You can order her toppers at Concarta â&#x20AC;&#x201D; www.concarta.blogspot.com). Jennifer Behr makes some of the most beautiful and original hair accessories available, and her bridal collection is no exception. There are dramatic headpieces and veils made of feathers and lace for the bride who likes

something just a little over the top and vintage-inspired headbands and clips for the woman who wants a touch of sparkle somewhere in her hair. A whimsical headpiece is also an easy way to add some character to a simple dress and create an unforgettable look. (Her headbands are available at www.jenniferbehr.com). And finally, when I first heard about the bridal line BHLDN (under the Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie umbrella), all I could picture were short, reworked vintage dresses that would fit only a teenager and maybe some bridesmaid dresses made from cream-colored flannel. But not only is the line well-priced, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also modern and romantic. The gowns are vintage-inspired and unexpected, and they come in nontraditional colors, such as light gray and a graphic poppyand-white floral print, as well as more traditional tones. The accessories look more like heirlooms. There are salmon pink sling-backs with a dainty bow at the toe and a simple netted veil with tiny white bows. Prices range from $80 to $4,000. (You can order at www.bhldn.com.)

Stretch yourself. Invite your family members to push their personal limits and enjoy a adventure at the same time. Here are three to consider. Hike Zion, Springdale, Utah: Get the guidance and gear you need to take on the famed canyons from Zion Adventure Guides by booking their ground courses. (Guides are unable to work within some parts of Zion National Park.) For those who prefer guided exploration of the slot canyons and other terrain, alternate routes are available. The Narrows, a 16-mile corridor, can be hiked in one rigorous day, but most recommended is an overnight or the Bottom Up excursion that enables hikers to see some of the most stunning aspects of the canyon in four to six hours. Either way, you and your family will be enthralled by the splendor of nature-carved sandstone set against the bright, blue western sky. Recommended for children 8 and older. 435-772-1001;

w w w.zionadventures.com; www.nps.gov/zion. Cycle Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gold Coast: A route laid out by Summer Feet Cycling rolls along the coast and through Acadia National Park and fishing villages. Sore from cycling? Take a break and eat fresh lobster. Trade the twowheeler for a turn in a kayak and explore among seals and dolphins. Summer Feet guides are known to take off with young pedalers for some â&#x20AC;&#x153;no parents allowedâ&#x20AC;? outings. Recommended for kids 7 and older. 1-866-857-9544; www.summerfeet.net. Trekking British Columbia: On the coastal route mapped by Sea to Sky Expeditions, family members will traverse sandy beaches and rugged terrain while stopping to see whales breaching and sea spray blasting through blow holes. On the West Coast Trail, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn about shipwreck lore and native cultures. Or, you might head to the high country and feel the excitement of Klondike gold rush days; on

you notes. It makes an impression â&#x20AC;&#x201D; literally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while saving you both time and money. It also makes an excellent bridesmaid or groomsman gift. Puzzle guest book: Instead of an album-style tome, have a custom puzzle made with your names and wedding date. Place the pieces in a glass bowl at your reception, along with a sign asking friends to autograph the unfinished backs. When the party is over, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have fun putting them together and reading the good wishes. Place-card stationery: Let guests know exactly where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sitting by putting personalized correspondence cards, which pull double duty as favors, at each place setting. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re simple and inexpensive to make â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just log on to www.marthastewartweddings.com for directions. Thirst-quenching escort cards: Welcome guests to your reception with refreshing drinks that are tagged with their table numbers. Chilled mint lemonade is delicious for spring and summer occasions. In the cooler months, serve apple cider or hot cocoa in mugs. Ready to get started? Visit www.marthastewartweddings. com for clip art, templates and instructions.

Fewer eyebrows raised at men who groom them By Andrew Adam Newman New York Times News Service

Taking Propecia and using Rogaine for more than a decade have helped to slow hair loss for Michael Sultana. Meanwhile, a few inches below his receding hairline, hair grows like kudzu with no pharmaceutical assistance whatsoever. “I wish the hair on my head would grow as fast as my eyebrows,” said Sultana, 62, a real estate developer who lives in Forest Hills, Queens and Panama. “I have very bushy eyebrows, and I can look like Groucho Marx.” Five years ago, Sultana made his first appointment with Ramy Gafni, an eyebrow stylist in Manhattan whose celebrity clients include Britney Spears and Naomi Campbell, and who charges $75 for a service he calls “eyebrow sculpting.” After trimming Sulta-

You want to take the weight out

of it and groom the brow, but you don’t want it to look ‘done.’ Sometimes I even leave a couple stray hairs so it looks less done, and I would never do that for women.” While male clients represent less than 10 percent of his business, he said that number has tripled over the last few years. For do-it-yourselfers, eyebrowtrimming attachments increasingly are included both on small electric razors once geared just for noses and ears, and larger ones aimed at beards and sideburns. “Before it was all about the beard, all about the goatee, all about the mustache, but the game has changed,” said Carl Kammer, director of product development for Remington. “Fifteen years ago, you wouldn’t have seen a product targeting eyebrows, but now is the time of the eyebrow.”

Robot Continued from C1 Then, teams have six weeks to complete their robots, which must complete assigned tasks against a field of competitors, says Molner, who’s been in the competitive robot world since eighth grade, when he was competing in the affiliated FIRST Lego League. At the high school level, “The challenges can range in anything from robot basketball, to, last year, it was soccer on a weird field. This year, it’s a version of vertical tic-tac-toe with pool inner tubes,” he says. Once the team knows the nature of the contest, team members “sit down and we say, ‘Well, where do we begin?’ And we just start throwing out ideas.” The group’s entire robot was first designed by computer, says Molner and the resultant “Nine” is 2-by-3 feet and can reach up to 12 feet high. To see a video of the robot in practice, visit http://url. bb/hddroids. The robot’s been in the bag, literally, since Feb. 21, when it was sealed up shortly after that video

was made. Bagging up the robot prior to competition is one of its many rules. “It’s to make it fair for all the teams,” Molner says. “(With) realworld engineering, you’re going to be under that time crunch, and not enough money. Too many things you have to go through and not enough time.” Kim Thwaits serves as lead mentor to the group. She’s the mother of one the more active students in Droids, Mountain View senior Jason Thwaits, who did much of Nine’s hands-on design work. Though there are a number of awards on the line, Thwaits says the FIRST competitions are very much about cooperation among teams. In fact, according to the official FIRST site, FIRST cofounder Woodie Flowers coined the term “Gracious Professionalism.” “Gracious Professionalism is part of the ethos of FIRST,” the site goes on to say. “It’s a way of doing things that encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others and respects individuals and the community.” In addition to learning about robotics and computer programming, there are opportunities for

kids to learn about marketing, Web design, public outreach and more, says Thwaits. About half the kids in High Desert Droids participated in Lego Robotics at a younger age, says Thwaits. “We get a lot of misfits and stuff, people who don’t fit in anywhere else. And so they may not even be that interested in robots, but there’s a lot of areas you can work on, so it’s not all the Lego nerds.” To kids interested in robotics, Molner says, “Do it! Join the team, whether you join at the high school level or elementary school level with the Lego Robotics. You learn so much. You really apply what you learn in school, you make great friends, you kind of see what’s possible for high school minds and it helps you decide in the future. “For example, I know for sure that I’m going to go into a tech field. I’m thinking right now that it’s either going to be math, chemistry or electrical engineering. FIRST has really helped me make up my mind about that.” David Jasper can be reached at 541-383-0349 or djasper@ bendbulletin.com.

Happy birthday for Sunday, March 13, 2011: Your intuition evolves as you learn to trust your feelings. Once you flow, your creativity surges. Romance occurs easily for those who are in the right frame of mind. If you are an artist or in another creative profession, you easily might produce one of your greater works. If you are attached, you might add a new addition to the family or go on a romantic trip. Don’t allow situations to become confusing. From the summer on could be unusually special. CANCER is fun to daydream with. 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) HHH All signs need time to snuggle and do nothing. If you have this inclination right now, go for it. You will be all the better for the experience. A boss or someone you look up to could be contrary. Let it go; you cannot change this person. Tonight: Close to home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Your style warms others up. Still, someone could be contrary when you contact him or her. You wonder why. Walk in this person’s shoes, then you will have the answer. Resisting through argument will not work. Not playing the game will. Tonight: Visit with a neighbor. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You have a tendency to go to extremes, like many

people. How you say no and the manner in which you say it could determine others’ reactions. Avoid turning an issue into a power play. Instead, open it up for discussion. Tonight: Your treat. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH If you can avoid a run-in with a close loved one, all the better. It is really in no one’s interest to spar. High energy and magnetism define your choices. Others enjoy being around you. Tonight: Forget about tomorrow; live tonight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Stop pushing. Slow down and do what is important. Others will manage without you. Go off and indulge. Resist being pushed into a project or some other activity you don’t want to do. Tonight: Only what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Friends surround you. A child or loved one could be quite challenging. Don’t play into his or her need for control. Lie back and allow this person to discover how manipulative he or she is. Remember your objectives. Tonight: Friends and dinner mix well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Pressure builds. You cannot continue juggling everything, though you might try. A family member could blow a fuse if you’re not careful. On the other hand, you discover the meaning of not playing the game. Stay calm, and you will gain. Tonight: At home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Take an overview and

understand where someone is coming from. A conflict is likely with a neighbor or close relative. Be careful not to play into this person’s games. A phone call could lead to a get-together. Chatting in person is more fun. Tonight: Close to home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Let go of feeling pressured to take action or a risk. Only you know what works for you. A close loved one or friend could be unusually difficult. Don’t worry so much. Respond rather than react. Tonight: Indulge a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others could react negatively to your choices. You might want to maintain control, but you cannot. Let go of this need, and you might like the results. Many more alternatives will surface. Don’t isolate yourself over a difference of opinion. Tonight: So many invitations. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Continue your time off. You might enjoy splitting town with a loved one and sharing more. You feel great, as long as you don’t pressure yourself. Respond to that inner calling, and allow greater give-and-take. Tonight: Tap into your creativity. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH A friend is pushy and dominating. Refuse to get into his or her “stuff.” Know what to do when a loved one becomes reactive. Your interpersonal skills come out. Don’t make a big deal of a misunderstanding. Tonight: Live it up. © 2010 by King Features Syndicate

Modern quilters break the pattern By Susan Murphy Casey McClatchy-Tribune News Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Lauren Hunt is quick to point out that her quilts aren’t like your grandmother’s. And her quilting skills weren’t passed down through her family, either. The 27-year-old refers to a fictional Aunt June as her teacher, but the truth? “I learned by sewing badly,” Hunt said. Now a prolific sewer, blogger and fabric designer, she is hooked. As a founding member of Kansas City’s branch of the Modern Quilt Guild, Hunt is in the thick of quilting techniques that are taking off. Modern quilters like Hunt are ripping at the seams of a tradition that for hundreds of years required piecing together blocks of fabric, often by hand, into a grid system. New quilters are scrapping traditional patterns such as Double Wedding Ring and Nine Patch in favor of a contemporary or offbeat look, and some work without patterns. Fabrics are lighter, brighter and bigger prints, with a lot of architectural or irregular florals, said Elaine Johnson, who owns Harper’s Fabric and Quilt Co. in Overland Park, Kan. Also popular are simple solids, especially when paired with large shapes. Modern quilters can let “the fabric tell the story until they build confidence,” Johnson said. For many traditional quilters, discernible blocks may always define the term “quilt.” Anything else just isn’t the same.

More design, less structure

sies,” she said. Sewing and craft magazines have taken note of the new niche, though most still appeal largely to traditional quilters. So, as with many trends, this subculture spread through countless blogs. “But a huge part of quilting is community,” Hunt said. “There wasn’t a place for modern quilters to show what they’re making.” Fresh from virtual quilting bees and into a community center, Kansas City’s branch of the Modern Quilt Guild — only a year old — has 96 members and is already the largest branch in the country. The freedom to freestyle draws novices and experienced quilters alike, but modern quilters should have a plan and “know the rules before you break them,” Gering said. “We can do wonky quilts, but we can still do them well.” The pioneer woman made “beauty out of scarcity,” Schmidt said. “Patchworks feel so distinctly American.” Original settlers didn’t have domestic fabric production, so they put leftover pieces together. “It was an economy of using what you have on hand and making something beautiful.” That principle of re-use is relevant in today’s economy, too. Hunt said the purpose differs from some traditional quilts as well because “we want people to see and use the things we make” and not just put them on a shelf. In addition to designers like Schmidt, many modern quilters, including Gering and Hunt, are inspired by a group of AfricanAmerican quilters in Alabama, in a region called Gee’s Bend, named for a former slave owner. The Gee’s Bend quilts are a century in the making, yet they fit today’s definition of modern. Many are brightly colored, with unpredictable designs and shapes.

Though some modern quilters use blocks or grids, they sometimes alter or eliminate them, said Jacquie Gering, president and one of the founders of the Kansas City Modern Quilt Guild. “It’s really more about the design than adhering to a prescribed structure.” Modern quilts can be just as intricate as the trickiest of traditional quilts and are suitable for bedding, wall art or tablecloths. “It is hard to put modern quilters in a box,” Gering said. Denyse Schmidt of Bridgeport, Conn., is considered one of the pioneers of modern quilting with her contemporary patterns and fabric designs. “We have altered expectations,” Schmidt said. Where once “every corner had to match and every seam had to lay flat, now we can attempt, and it doesn’t have to be perfect.” Schmidt also sees the renewed interest in sewing as part of a trend to be “reacquainted with traditional things” such as growing food, cooking, knitting and other crafts. Yet new quilters also have a desire to mix it up. Schmidt said the quilts of the 1970s and 1980s did not appeal to her but did spur her interest in design. “I saw beauty in idiosyncra-

“We used whatever we could to cover up and keep a family warm,” said Mary Ann Pettway, 54, of Boykin, Ala. “From my torn dress, we cut out the best part. Or my sister’s dress. Or my brother’s pair of pants.” Pettway recalled working with her relatives and neighbors in various homes as a child to finish quilts. The Gee’s Bend quilters don’t use patterns. “My mama taught me how to quilt with a ninepatch pattern,” Pettway said. But today, “the designs come out of my head. I like to do what no one else has done before.” The Gee’s Bend quilts gained prominence in the last decade primarily through museum showings. One such showing inspired Gering to begin modern quilting and to write about her experiences on her Tallgrass Prairie Studio blog. The latest craze is designing your own fabric. Producing custom fabrics used to be cost-prohibitive, but now printing them

costs about $18 a yard, and you can buy as little as one yard at a time. Many crafters use Spoonflower (www.spoonflower.com) to create their own fabrics and then sell them online. Users simply upload their designs. “Businesses like Spoonflower are growing in leaps and bounds” because designers no longer have to print overseas, Schmidt said. As a result, there is more specialized, custom manufacturing. So what’s next? “You’re already starting to see trendy stores appreciate tradition again,” said Tula Pink of Stewartsville, Mo., who is a pattern and fabric designer. “The next trend always revolts against the last. “The block structure might return with added flavor,” she said. So, a star point quilt might have uneven stars. There also could be a “transfer of scale,” where parts of quilts that were tiny in traditional quilts might be magnified in a modern quilt, and vice versa.

Bend High’s Hayden Crook drives the lane in Saturday’s Class 5A third-place game against Wilsonville in Eugene.

EUGENE —The ride finally ended for Bend High’s seniors on Saturday, but not before Ty Friesen, Joey Apodaca and Taylor Raterman helped rejuvenate the Lava Bears’ boys basketball program. Bend lost to Wilsonville 58-42 in the Class 5A state tournament third-place game at Matthew Knight Arena, concluding a season in which the Lava Bears went 22-4 and advanced to the state tournament for the first time since 2001, just a year after going 7-18. Bend finished 1-2 at state, defeating Crescent Valley in the 5A quarterfinals before falling to Benson and Wilsonville, ending the tournament in fifth place.

“The kids took every challenge we gave them and ran with it,” Bend coach Don Hayes said about his 2010-11 squad. “They wanted a great year and went out and got it.” The Lava Bears, who trailed 27-24 at halftime, hung around with the Wildcats (25-4) until the third quarter. Wilsonville, which finished fourth at state a year ago, went on a 9-3 run at the end of the third to grab a 36-30 lead entering the final period. In the fourth quarter, the Wildcats, who went 17 of 22 from the free-throw line in the second half, put the game out of reach with an 11-0 run midway through the period. See Lava Bears / D5

Oregon women repeat as NCAA indoor champions COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Oregon won its second consecutive women’s NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship Saturday at Gilliam Indoor Stadium. The Ducks used a dominating 1-3-4 finish in the mile by Jordan Hasay, Zoe Buckman and Anne Kesselring to all but lock up the title. Oregon made it official when Amber Purvis finished sixth in the 60 meters, and then enjoyed the rest of the meet, including a win by Hasay in the 3,000 meters. Melissa Gergel also placed fourth in the pole vault and the 4x400 meter relay team took eighth. The Ducks won with 67 points. Texas was second with 38, followed by Louisiana State with 37, Arkansas with 35 and Texas A&M with 32. “It was a great team effort,” said Associate Athletic Director Vin Lananna. “All the student-athletes did a fantastic job and the coaching staff did a great job setting the tone.” In the mile, Buckman led from the opening gun, while Hasay settled in behind her with 400 meters to go. Hasay then moved around her teammate with 100 meters remaining and ran to her first NCAA title in 4:33.01. In the process, the sophomore broke one of the most hallowed records in Oregon history, Leann Warren’s 1982 mile time of 4:33.26. — From wire reports

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament field will be announced at 3 p.m. PDT tonight, the official opening bell for the spring rite known as March Madness. For the past quarter-century, the tournament bracket — a study in right angles and symmetry — has appealed to casual and hard-core fans alike because of its simplicity: 64 teams playing down to two over the course of three weeks. Over the 3 1⁄2 days between the bracket’s unveiling today and the start of play Thursday at 9 a.m. Pacific, lawyers and construction workers will join high school students and retirees in scribbling their predictions on Xeroxed copies of the bracket, usually in the hope of winning a little money from their colleagues.

For National Football League players, federal court in Minneapolis is a legal nirvana. Over nearly 40 years, cases filed there by players and their union have found favor in legal rulings by U.S. district court judges like Earl Larson and, since the late 1980s, David S. Doty. Names like John Mackey, Freeman McNeil, Marvin Powell and Reggie White have been featured plaintiffs. And on Friday, when the NFL Players Association decertified itself as a union, the Minneapolis court once again became the legal theater for football, this time in a particularly tense impasse. Ten players, including star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, filed an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL in the court and asked for an injunction to prevent the league from initiating a lockout, which the NFL said was in effect as of 12:01 a.m. Saturday. “The NFL has a long history of violating federal antitrust law in an effort to minimize its labor costs,” the players’ lawsuit alleges about a subject that has become as familiar to the South Fourth Street Courthouse in downtown Minneapolis as First Amendment cases are to the Supreme Court in Washington. But how did this Midwest court become the focal point for so many NFL legal battles and, in effect, the home field for the players? The answer is apparently in a request that Mackey, the Baltimore Colts’ Hall of Fame tight end, made decades ago when he became president of the players union in time for contract talks with the league.

Athletic director Chris Hill informed Boylen on Saturday. The Utes set a futility mark with only 15 first-half points. Boylen was 69-60 in four seasons overall and 3232 in conference play. • Georgia Tech fires men’s basketball coach: Georgia Tech fired Paul Hewitt after his fourth losing season in the last six years. Athletic director Dan Radakovich made the announcement Saturday and said that a national search for a replacement would begin immediately. The Yellow Jackets’ season ended Thursday night with a 59-43 loss to Virginia Tech in the opening round of the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament in Greensboro, N.C. Georgia Tech finished 13-18 overall, 5-11 in the ACC.

Uncle Mo, who went off at odds of 1-9, was bumped at the start but quickly took charge on the inside, turned back a challenge from Rattlesnake Bridge at the top of the stretch and drew away.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP

NHL ROUNDUP

Buzzer-beater gives Huskies Pac-10 title

Canucks take 4-3 victory over Flames

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — With the game tied and 19 seconds left, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar was thinking timeout. Isaiah Thomas was thinking: score a basket. Thomas’ instinct won out. The speedy guard tore up the court and hit a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer, lifting Washington past No. 16 Arizona 77-75 Saturday for the Pac-10 tournament championship in the first overtime title game in league history. “I knew I had a smaller guy on me, so I could get a shot off and I just made a little step back and God made the ball go in the hoop,” said Thomas, whose first name follows the biblical spelling. Thomas scored 19 of his 28 points in the first half, and freshman Terrence Ross added 16 for the thirdseeded Huskies (23-10), who successfully defended their title and earned the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. “One of these days when I’m not coaching anymore, I’ll sit back in the rocking chair and reminisce about this game,” Romar said. “Reminisce how Isaiah Thomas just totally flagged off his coach, no. I’ll remember a lot of things about this tournament, and they’re all good.” Pac-10 player of the year Derrick Williams had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the top-seeded Wildcats (27-7), who won the regular-season title and are likely to return to the NCAA tournament after the school’s 25-year run of appearances ended last year. “You never want to go into the tournament with a loss like that, and it’s always going to be in the back of our mind,” Williams said. Washington’s C.J. Wilcox hit a three-pointer that tied the game 68all with 7 seconds left in regulation between the teams that split in the regular season. The Huskies outscored Arizona 97 in overtime, taking a 73-70 lead on a basket by Wilcox before Matthew Bryan-Amaning was called for his fifth foul. Romar stomped his foot, with his staff and players insisting Justin Holiday had committed the foul instead. Solomon Hill, who finished with 12 points, made both free throws to draw the Wildcats within one. Thomas found Wilcox alone in the corner in front of the Huskies’ bench and he took a few big steps and dunked for a 75-72 lead. Kevin Parrom’s three-pointer tied the game at 75, giving Washington a final possession with the threat of a second overtime looming. But Thomas wouldn’t allow it. The 5-foot-9 guard named after former NBA star Isiah Thomas brought the ball upcourt and calmly got off the jumper from the left side under pressure that sent Washington’s fans into delirium as the first repeat Pac10 tourney champions since Arizona won in 1990 and 2002, when the tourney resumed. “The best player on the team, that’s what he wants to do. He wants to take the last shot,” Williams said. “That’s going to go down as one of the best shots in Pac-10 tournament history, so he deserves it.”

Stanford wins women’s Pac-10 title over UCLA LOS ANGELES — Freshman Toni Kokenis scored 10 of her career-high 17 points in the final 5:17 to rally No. 2 Stanford past No. 7 ranked UCLA 64-55 Saturday for the Pac-10 tournament championship. The top-seeded Cardinal (29-2) won their 57th consecutive game against a league opponent, tying Liberty of the Big South for fifth all-time. It was their 23rd straight overall win. Nnemkadi Ogwumike added 15 points and Kayla Pedersen had 12 in the Cardinal’s 11th straight win against the second-seeded Bruins. It was Stanford’s sixth straight league tournament title and ninth overall. Doreena Campbell scored 16 points, and Darxia Morris and Markel Walker had 12 each for UCLA (27-4), which got swept by Stanford in the regular season. — The Associated Press

Thomas, who played all 45 minutes, was rewarded with the tourney’s most valuable player award for the second straight year after the closest title game in league history. Oregon State’s Jared Cunningham and Oregon’s E.J. Singler were also named to the all-tournament team. “It’s praise to all my teammates because without them I can’t win nothing, especially a game,” he said. It was Washington’s first win over a ranked Arizona team in six years, when the Huskies beat the Wildcats in the 2005 tourney title game. The teams were the Pac-10’s only ones in the Top 25 this season, although the Huskies eventually dropped out. Thomas carried his team in the first half with 19 points, the most by any Washington player in a half this season. “He’s just a heck of a player,” Ari-

zona coach Sean Miller said. “The last shot is what everybody will focus on. He made a step back (jumper), third game in three days in the 45th minute that he played. It’s one of the reasons Washington is such an outstanding team.” Bryan-Amaning, the Huskies’ second-leading scorer, had no points and no rebounds with two fouls in the half. The Huskies led 59-55 when Arizona ran off eight straight points to go up 63-59. Washington went 6½ minutes without a basket before Thomas, Ross and Wilcox hit three-pointers in succession to force overtime. Arizona played catch-up most of the second half until taking the lead on two free throws by Williams with 2:56 left. The Wildcats were going for their fifth league tourney championship, and first since 2002. They fell to 0-3 against

the Huskies in the tournament.

The Associated Press CALGARY, Alberta — NHL leading scorer Daniel Sedin had two goals and an assist in the Vancouver Canucks’ 4-3 victory over the Calgary Flames on Saturday night. In a clash between the league’s top two teams since Christmas, the game took on a playoff feel. It was especially important for the Flames, who are locked in a desperate fight for a postseason spot in the congested Western Conference. Vancouver entered with a 16-point lead over the second-place Flames in the Northwest Division and seven-point edge on Philadelphia for first in the league. The Canucks took a 4-3 lead with 16 seconds left in the second period when their No. 1ranked power play struck for the second time in two chances. Ryan Kesler beat Alex Tanguay on a faceoff in the Flames end, drawing the puck back to defenseman Christian Ehrhoff. Ehrhoff’s shot through a crowd caromed sharply off Kesler in front and went right to Sedin, who scored his second goal of the period. Sedin’s 37th goal was a career high, topping the 36 he scored in the 2006-07 season. It was the third assist of the period for Ehrhoff, whose three-point night tied a career high.

SKIING ROUNDUP

Oregon takes series sweep over BYU with 10-0 victory Vonn finishes 16th to close in on Riesch From wire reports EUGENE — Christian Jones was nearly flawless on the mound, and Oregon’s offense didn’t skip a beat as the Ducks completed the series sweep of BYU on Saturday with a dominating 10-0 shutout victory at PK Park. Oregon (8-7) has now won three in a row, and swept its first weekend series since taking three from East Tennessee State in May of last year. The Ducks scored 10 runs on 10 hits, matching season highs set at Hawaii on Feb. 19. Oregon led 4-0 before breaking the game wide open in the sixth inning, scoring six runs on four hits. Junior shortstop KC Serna was responsible for three of those runs, producing a basesclearing, one-out double to center field. Serna finished his day two-for-three with three runs scored. Sophomore Jack Marder, who started in left field, was two-forfour with a double, a stolen base and three RBIs. Marder plated runners in the first, third and sixth innings. On the mound Jones (2-1) was commanding, tossing seven shutout innings and striking out 13 batters — setting a new career high. The southpaw faced 26 batters and allowed just three hits

COLLEGE BASEBALL ROUNDUP while walking one. The Danville, Calif., native struck out the sides in both the fifth and sixth innings. In four starts, Jones is second on the staff with 38 strikeouts and is holding opposing batters to a .209 batting average while sporting a 4.21 ERA. Oregon has now recorded four shutouts this season. Mark Anderson (1-2) took the loss for BYU (8-7), allowing four runs on five hits and two walks. Four pitchers appeared for BYU in relief, recording just two strikeouts. Oregon freshman relievers Brando Tessar and Jeff Gold — making his first appearance on the mound for Oregon — held BYU scoreless and faced just seven batters in the eighth and ninth innings. Freshman Ryon Healy started at designated hitter for Oregon and went two-for-four with two runs scored and an RBI, while senior Shawn Peterson made the start at first base and was twofor-four with two runs scored. In total, four Ducks produced multiple-hit days. Sophomore Andrew Mendenhall was one-for-one with a run scored and two walks. Junior

Brett Hambright was one-for-two with a RBI, run scored and walk.

Susac, meanwhile, doubled in the first to extend his hit streak to a personal-best 11 games. Susac, who also drove in a run, is 20-for-38 (.526) during his hit streak. The three-hit effort was the catcher’s ninth multiple-hit game of the season. Nash posted a two-for-four effort for his fourth multi-hit game of the season and his three RBIs marked his second multi-RBI game of the 2011 campaign.

SPINDLERUV MLYN, Czech Republic — Lindsey Vonn is getting closer, and gearing up for something completely different. She closed the gap on overall World Cup leader Maria Riesch on Saturday by tying for 16th in a slalom while her German friend and rival failed to finish. Vonn cut 15 points from Riesch’s overall lead and trails by 23 in her bid for a fourth straight overall title. “This is a new challenge I never really faced before, to be down in the World Cup,” Vonn said. “Bring it on. I’m pushing myself harder than I ever have.” Marlies Schild of Austria won her sixth slalom this season to clinch the discipline title, logging the fastest runs in both legs to finish in 1 minute, 43.85 seconds. Kathrin Zettel was 0.93 behind and Tina Maze of Slovenia was third. The pressure grows with only four events left — downhill, super-G, giant slalom and slalom at the World Cup finals next week in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. “It’s going to be really exciting finals,” Vonn said. “It’s going to push me to a new level of skiing I never seen before myself. This is going to be on the same level as the Olympics as far as the pressure goes.” Riesch was 15th after the first run in which she had problems on the lower part of the course. She skied out just seconds into the second leg. “This was a really, really bad and disappointing weekend for me,” Riesch said. “I’ll try to forget about that as soon as I can.” Vonn said she didn’t know Riesch was out before she started the second run. “I just had to keep charging as if she was winning,” Vonn said. “It still wasn’t my best slalom run, but it’s the first slalom race I actually finished in a long time.”

Austria’s Marlies Schild reacts after winning an alpine ski World Cup women’s slalom in Spindleruv Mlyn, Czech Republic, Saturday. Vonn, a speed specialist, has struggled in slalom, finishing only the November races in Levi, Finland, and Aspen, Colo. She was in 12th place after the first run and had the 20th fastest time in the second. She remains 20th in the slalom standings. “I didn’t ski well in my second run,” the American said. “I know it was little bit too turny for me on the top. I just never really got into a good rhythm.” Also on Saturday: Austria’s Walchhofer wins downhill in Norway KVITFJELL, Norway — Austrian skier Michael Walchhofer won a World Cup downhill to leapfrog Didier Cuche of Switzerland in the discipline standings with two races remaining. Walchhofer completed the 3-kilometer Olympiabakken course in 1 minute, 45.92 seconds to hold off fellow Austrian Klaus Kroell and Friday’s winner Beat Feuz of Switzerland. Kroell finished 0.13 seconds behind, with Feuz 0.31 seconds back.

Johnson emerges with lead at Doral GOLF ROUNDUP

The Associated Press DORAL, Fla. — Dustin Johnson didn’t start the season the way he wanted, not with only one decent chance at winning. His start at the Cadillac Championship wasn’t much better. On his opening tee shot Thursday at Doral, his drive sailed to the right and struck a spectator in the head. Turns out it was his grandfather, Art Whisnant, a former basketball star at South Carolina. Suddenly, everything is looking up. Johnson hit his stride and found his swagger Saturday on the back nine of the Blue Monster, shooting a 31 to emerge from a crowd of top players with a 7-under 65 and a two-shot lead going into the final round. The 26-year-old American hit what he called a “bunt drive” that went 310 yards on the 17th, leaving him a wedge into 2 feet. That was the last of his eight birdies, and put him atop the leaderboard. A short time later, after Nick Watney missed two short birdie putts and put his tee shot into the water on No. 18, Johnson had the lead to himself. “I played well today — drove it well, putt it well, hit the ball well,” Johnson said. “So I’m going to have to do that again tomorrow.” One look at the guys behind him makes that clear. Johnson was at 13-under 203, although seven players were within three shots of him, none lower than No. 31 in the world. That group does not include Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, who finished before the leaders teed off and remain out of the mix. The surprise is that it doesn’t include Martin Kaymer, either. The new No. 1 was in the final group with Hunter Mahan, one shot out of the lead, until he took double bogey from the water on the third hole and struggled to a 74. Kaymer was seven shots back. Johnson will play in the final group with Luke Donald, who took bogey on the final hole for a 66. Even so, Donald

is in good position to capture a second straight World Golf Championship, and a victory could be enough to make him No. 2 in the world. Watney, who had to settle for a 68 after his double bogey on the 18th, and Matt Kuchar (68) were with Donald at 11-under 205. Adam Scott is making fast friends with his long putter. He had a 68 and was in the group another shot behind that included Francesco Molinari, Rory McIlroy and Mahan, who didn’t make a par over the last six holes — two birdies, four bogeys — and shot 71. All of them will be chasing Johnson, who has a 54-hole lead for the first time other than at Pebble Beach. He won twice at Pebble in the regular PGA Tour event, but is perhaps more famous for losing a three-shot lead at the U.S. Open last summer when he shot 82. For all his power, Johnson is a threat this week because of his putting. He didn’t work on it once during the cold, rainy winter in South Carolina, and really didn’t put much attention on it earlier this year until after he lost in the first round of the Match Play Championship two weeks ago. “I finally feel comfortable with the putter, so things are going a little better,” Johnson said. He also got some help from swing coach Butch Harmon — who also works with Watney — on Saturday morning. Johnson asked him to check on his driver and his wedges, and then he put them to good use. Johnson, considered to have the most potential of America’s young crop of players, is known for his audacious tee shots. He went from that “bunt drive” on the 17th to “swinging has hard as I could” on the 18th, a 326-yard blast that left him only a wedge to the green. And that tee shot on Thursday that nailed his grandfather? “Yeah, that was a hard drive,” he

said, smiling. “He said it hit him on the fly, but it couldn’t have.” For one thing, his grandfather wasn’t hurt. Johnson could move into the top 10 in the world for the first time in his career. Donald, who moved to No. 3 with his win at the Match Play, could go all the way to No. 2, and it wouldn’t surprise him. “I’m certainly playing very good golf right now, some of the best I’ve ever played,” said Donald, who ran off three birdies in a four-hole stretch around the turn and was bogey-free until a tee shot to the right, leaving him little chance of reaching the 18th green. In other Saturday events: Matteson on top at Puerto Rico Open RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Troy Matteson shot a 6-under 66 in the Puerto Rico Open to open a three-shot lead as he goes after his third PGA Tour victory. Matteson seized control by matching the best score of the day, finishing with seven birdies and a bogey to reach 16 under at Trump International Golf Club. Hunter Haas was second after his second straight 68. Michael Bradley was third at 12 under after a 68. Price up two strokes at Newport Beach NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Nick Price followed his record-tying first round with a 3-under 68 at Newport Beach Country Club to take a twostroke lead in the Toshiba Classic. The 54-year-old Price had four birdies and a bogey a day after matching the Champions Tour record with a career-best 11-under 60. Seeking his fourth victory on the 50-and-over tour, Price had a 14-under 128 total. Mark Wiebe was second after his second straight 65. Joe Ozaki (64) and Mark O’Meara (67) were 10 under, and defending champion Fred Couples (67) was 9 under along with Michael Allen (64) and Tom Pernice Jr. (65).

Blazers fall to short-handed Hawks

SUMMARIES Saturday’s Games

Hawks 91, Blazers 82 The Associated Press ATLANTA — Hawks coach Larry Drew always knew Jeff Teague had plenty of talent. The question was how Drew would use Teague this season and how the second-year guard would perform with minutes often scarce. “He gave it to me in a big way tonight,” Drew said. “He was sensational from start to finish on both ends of the floor.” Teague matched a career high with 24 points, Jamal Crawford added 20 and Atlanta snapped a four-game slide with a 91-82 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night. LaMarcus Aldridge scored 22 and Wesley Matthews finished with 19 for Portland, which has lost two straight following a four-game winning streak. The Hawks were without starting center Al Horford because of a sprained ankle and reserve forward Josh Powell, who was arrested before the game on traffic charges not far from Philips Arena. All of Crawford’s points came in the second half on eight for 14 shooting. Drew started Zaza Pachulia in Horford’s spot and benched forward Marvin Williams in favor of Teague at shooting guard. Joe Johnson moved to the No. 3 guard spot. Josh Smith finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds for Atlanta. Hawks point guard Kirk Hinrich went scoreless in four attempts from the field, playing just under 16 minutes, but Teague filled the void in the backcourt. “I’ve never stopped believing in this kid because I see what the package is with him,” Drew said. “He can make shots. He’s got speed. He’s got quickness. He can go from end to end. Defensively, he can be a nuisance.” Teague, a first-round draft pick in 2009, was making just his eighth start in 127 career games, but gave the Hawks a big lift by scoring six points in the last 9.2 seconds of the first quarter. “I just wanted to get up there and put some pressure on, try to overplay the passing lane and make something happen,” Teague said. “I got my hands on a couple of balls and got lucky.” After hitting a pair of free throws, Teague knocked the ball away from Patrick Mills at midcourt and drove for an uncontested dunk, then stole the ensuing inbound pass and hit a three for a 19-18 lead. “That’s a tough run, but it’s

Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Smith (5) blocks a shot by Portland Trail Blazers center Jarron Collins during the second quarter of Saturday’s game in Atlanta. the early part of the game,” Matthews said. “We still had three quarters left to try to regroup, try to put the team away. But we couldn’t. Jeff Teague had a great game. He was finding the passing lanes. He was really active and caused a problem for us.” Teague, who was 11 for 17 from the field, played 44 minutes, 10 more than his season high. He also had five steals and three blocked shots. “I’m a laid-back person, but I always try to play with emotion and with a chip on my shoulder,” said Teague, who first scored 24 points last April 14 against Cleveland. Portland matched its biggest lead at seven on Marcus Camby’s dunk at the 10:32 mark of the third, but the Hawks went on a 44-19 run that ended with Pachulia’s dunk with 5:27 left in the game. Blazers coach Nate McMillan thought his team was winded coming off a five-point loss Friday at Charlotte. “That’s what it looks like,” McMillan said. “I mean we were missing shots like crazy. I thought they made the effort. Two things that were keys to the game, making shots and taking care of the ball, we didn’t do.” Atlanta had gone 1-5 since winning 90-83 on Feb. 27 at Portland. Blazers guard Brandon Roy scored 16 points, playing in his ninth game since double-knee surgery forced him to miss 30. Powell, 28, was arrested late

in the afternoon for refusing to move his car for an oncoming ambulance. He was not at the game, according to Hawks spokesman Arthur Triche, who said the team was aware of Powell’s arrest but withholding comment.

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, March 13, 2011 D5

NFL Continued from D1 “Two members of his negotiating committee, Pat Richter of the Washington Redskins and Ken Bowman of the Green Bay Packers, were in law school at the University of Wisconsin,” recalled Ed Garvey, a former executive director of the union, in a telephone interview. “So Mackey said, ‘Ask your law professor who we should hire as labor counsel.’” They consulted Nathan Feinsinger, a professor and noted arbitrator, who suggested speaking to Leonard Lindquist, a founding partner at the Minneapolis firm Lindquist & Vennum, Garvey said. Eventually, one of the firm’s partners, Edward Glennon, became the union’s chief litigator. And it was Glennon, Garvey said, who ultimately hit on a novel legal strategy in dealing with the league and its owners. “He said we didn’t have the strength to take them on in bargaining, but we had a solid case against them in antitrust,” Garvey said. Glennon then filed what became the Mackey case. In that case, fought in Minneapolis in the mid-1970s, Glennon successfully argued that the socalled Rozelle Rule violated antitrust laws. The rule, named for Pete Rozelle, the league’s commissioner at the time, required that a team that signed a player who was a free agent had to compensate his former team with players or draft picks or both. If the teams were unable to agree on the exchange, Rozelle would decide through arbitration what the compensation should be. Larson wrote in his decision in the Mackey case that some players had been economically damaged by the Rozelle Rule. Eliminating it, he said, “will not spell the end of the National Football League.” “Judge Larson not only said that the Rozelle Rule violated the Sherman Antitrust Act but that it was an illegal subject of bargaining,” Garvey said. But if Larson set the tone for the sport’s labor disputes, it was Doty who became the league’s bete noire. Since soon after his appointment to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, Doty has regularly ruled against the league. In 1988, he found against the league in the Marvin Powell case, but was reversed on appeal. He then presided over the jury trial in 1992 that found that the league’s Plan B system of limited free agency was a violation of antitrust laws; Doty said he would impose his own version of free agency if the league and union did not negotiate their own, which they did in early 1993. From then until Friday, Doty oversaw what became known as the Reggie White settlement

and the NFL labor agreements that followed. Much of that oversight dealt with appeals of decisions made by a special master. He has upheld some of the special master’s rulings in favor of the league. But this month, he reversed one, saying that the league acted against players’ interests in failing to maximize revenue from networks when it renegotiated its current television deals. He could thus prevent the league from using $4 billion in television revenue during the lockout. But whether Doty would be the judge to hear Brady v. the National Football League is not clear. For now, another judge at the courthouse is assigned to it. Doty, 81, is as much a Minnesotan as Joe Mauer, the All-Star catcher of the baseball Twins. He was born in Anoka and attended Marshall High School in Minneapolis, and then the University of Minnesota and its law school. He played football for the Gophers — as a linebacker and fullback — but the toll on his body was too much after a few weeks of practice. “I was fast for my size but I wasn’t very good,” he told The Washington Post in 1992. He was a captain in the Marines, and keeps a Mameluke sword hanging in his office. In a quarter-century in private practice, he worked for corporations, including utilities, and as part of his legal work he took on unions. His name was submitted to Reagan for the federal bench by Sen. David Durenberger, RMinn. In a 2007 article in The Federal Lawyer, a magazine, Doty was asked about giving up a well-paying private practice to sit on the bench. “I wasn’t as successful as people think,” he said, jokingly. In another interview, in Sports Business Journal three years ago, Doty looked back at the Powell case and said that team owners “pretend they’re getting beaten around.” “Well, they did, initially, but they had a position that was not legally sound,” he added. Referring to Paul Tagliabue, who was a lawyer for the league and went on to become its commissioner, he said, “I think if you ask Tagliabue, he would say, ‘The whole thing has come our way.’ ” Although the owners have complained, Doty added, “all they’ve done is make tons of money.” And it is money, and how to divide it among players and owners, that is at the heart of the latest confrontation. Not surprisingly, the complaint filed by the players on Friday reads like a greatest-hits canon of football decisions by the Minneapolis court, with references to the Mackey, McNeil, Powell and White cases. If Doty does hear the new case, it would be much like a veteran player reopening a dog-eared playbook. Of course, another judge might read it like a made-forMinnesota legal thriller.

Bend’s Joey Apodaca, rear, and Taylor Raterman, right, put defensive pressure on Wilsonville’s Seth Gearhart during Saturday’s Class 5A state tournament third-place game in Eugene.

Lava Bears Continued from D1 Junior guard Hayden Crook led the Lava Bears with 14 points and two steals. Raterman added 10 points and Apodaca contributed eight, but Bend struggled from the field, connecting on just 11 of 38 shots (28.9 percent). “I think they’re the best defensive team in the state,” Hayes said about Wilsonville, which lost 59-56 in overtime in the semifinal round to Corvallis on Friday. “They don’t allow any easy shots.” Senior Seth Gearhart, a 6foot-7-inch NCAA Division I prospect, and junior point guard Kevin Marshall posted 16 points apiece for the Wildcats. Marshall also recorded six assists and five rebounds. Wilsonville went 2-1 at the state tournament for the third consecutive year, having placed third in 2009 and fourth last season. The Wildcats, who started four players 6-2 or taller, outrebounded the Bears 37-21 and hauled in 17 offensive rebounds for the game. “They’re big,” Apodaca said about Wilsonville. “We played hard against them, but we ended up fouling them a lot.” Bend, which was again playing without suspended point guard Seth Platsman, forced 17 turnovers, but the Lava Bears turned the ball over 16 times

Patriots owner Robert Kraft, a member of the league’s labor committee. While disappointed by (the NFLPA’s) action to decertify, I remain confident that an agreement will be reached and that the 2011 season will be played.” Many teams issued statements Saturday about the league’s first labor stoppage in 24 years. In about a week, some teams were set to begin offseason workouts. While they will continue their preparation for April’s draft, which was protected under the collective bargaining agreement that expired Friday, there isn’t much other business to do. — The Associated Press

Bracket Continued from D1 This year, much to the chagrin of pool organizers nationwide, the process will not be nearly so neat. Over the summer, in an effort to generate more money in the form of additional television inventory, the NCAA decided to add three teams to what had been since 2001 a 65-team field. At first glance, the result means three additional games, to be played Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Practically speaking, it means confusion: Should the extra results count in the pools? Do players have to complete their prognostications by Tuesday evening, rather than Thursday before the games begin? Should those four results be ignored altogether? “Bracket pools are the lifeblood of what is the greatest event in America sports. They are the oxygen that fuels

Bend’s Tanner Torkelson (No. 12) can’t get to a loose ball recovered by Wilsonville during Saturday’s game. themselves. “The year was awesome,” Raterman said of the Lava Bears’

season. “It didn’t end the way we wanted, but going 22-4 is nothing to be ashamed about,

especially after winning just seven games last year.” NOTES: Bend’s fifth-place effort was its best finish since taking fifth at the old large-school Class 4A state tournament in 2001. The Bears went 3-1 that year in what was then a 16-team tourney. … The 42 points Bend scored Saturday was the Bears’ lowest point total of the season. … Wilsonville held opponents to just 41.5 points per game this season, the best mark in Class 5A.

PREP SCOREBOARD

Lockout signals dark day for NFL Owners, players, NFL executives, it didn’t matter who you asked: Saturday was a dark day for pro football. In the wake of the players’ union decertifying Friday, then filing antitrust lawsuits, followed by the league staging a lockout, it took some searching to find any brightness. The optimism came in trickles, focusing on the amount of time remaining before the 2011 season is scheduled to kick off. “Going into these union negotiations, I was very optimistic that an agreement could be reached before the end of December if both sides were committed to the negotiations,” said

March Madness,” said Don Ventre, a 42-year-old Washington television director who has run his pool with close to 150 participants for two decades. “The move to 68 has just caused a world of problems. This is all formula either for chaos or simply a lack of participation. And a lack of participation in office pools could spell the downfall of this unique, fantastic event.” Office pools, despite the warnings of law enforcement officials, are among the country’s most popular illegal activities. The FBI estimates that roughly $2.5 billion is gambled on the NCAA tournament, and only $80 million is bet legally through Nevada sports books. A good portion of the rest takes the form of $5 or $10 entry fees to participate in a bracket-pick NCAA tournament pool. “One of the key components that March Madness has going for it is familiarity,” said Tim Moyer, who runs the blog March 24 7. “Everyone knows

the jingle CBS plays coming and going from commercial breaks. Everyone knows the nicknames for each round— Sweet 16, Elite Eight, etc. Most of all, everyone knows the bracket.” The perfect symmetry of the 64team bracket — four regions, each with 16 seeds — was blemished when the NCAA added a 65th team to the field in 2001, resulting in a play-in game on the Tuesday night before play began in earnest. Some fans griped, but most discounted the extra game because it pitted two of the least-regarded teams in the field, with the winner earning the right to play one of the tournament’s four top seeds in the first round. This year, the three additional teams means there will now be four games playing into the main 64-team bracket. And while two of them can be ignored as competitively insignificant because the winners almost certainly will be pummeled in the next round, the oth-

er two will pit higher-caliber teams against each other for spots in the main bracket as Nos. 11 or 12 seeds. Experienced pool players know such teams cannot be so easily dismissed. After all, George Mason was a No. 11 seed when it won four games in the 2006 tournament to reach the Final Four. And picking at least one No. 12 seed to win in the first round is a staple of experienced pool players. Thirtyfive No. 12 seeds have won a game since 1985 — when the tournament expanded to 64 teams — and in 2009 three of the four No. 12 seeds won in the first round. This leaves pool organizers wondering how to handle such games, which many are referring to derisively as P.I.Gs. Some are imposing a close-of-business Tuesday deadline and counting all play-in games. Turner Sports, which now has the television rights to the tournament along with CBS, declared

Monday to be National Bracket Day and is urging everyone to complete brackets before the play-in games. But ESPN.com, which has staged a bracket contest on its website since 1998, established a Thursday deadline for all entries, as has The Washington Post for its Bracket Challenge. The issue with a Tuesday deadline, says West Coast website designer and independent analyst David Mihm, is that a lot of people “actually enjoy the mental anguish associated with the ability to change their picks right up until noon on Thursday.” While most are thankful that the NCAA did not expand the tournament to 96 teams — which was rumored and panned — they acknowledge that the bracket pool has irrefutably changed. “I think we’d all agree that 64 was the perfect number,” said college basketball enthusiast Casey York, “but once it hit 65 and now 68, brackets will never be the same.”

This Notice is based upon Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 137-047-0275.

JOHN COSTA

Flaherty’s hidden policies I

t all started with Calvin. A resident of Bend’s Awbrey Butte, the little feline showed up wounded on his owner’s doorstep. The father and son of the household, according to The Bulletin’s account, raced a bleeding Calvin to a local veterinarian. There they were told that their pet had been shot. The police were called and sent out officers to investigate. Generally speaking, unless you are defending your property or your life, it is against the law to fire a weapon within city limits. Calvin survived. But the incident was unusual, and The Bulletin wondered what the potential penalties might be for shooting a pet inside the city limits. So we called the Deschutes County District Attorney’s Office. There was no response. We later heard the new District Attorney, Patrick Flaherty, may have issued rules limiting staff contact with the press, such as explaining laws pertaining to the shooting of Calvin. So we submitted a formal request for any written communications between Flaherty and his staff regarding media communications. And this was his response: “I am in receipt of your March 3, 2011 public records request. I am denying your request because the requested information constitutes communications within a public body of an advisory nature, do not relate to purely factual materials, are preliminary to any final agency determination of policy or action and the public interest in encouraging frank communication between an elected official and his employees clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure at this time. ORS 192.502(1).” In other words, a man who has proclaimed his interest in transparency essentially said that he has rules regarding disclosure, but the rules themselves are secret. In other words, Mr. and Mrs. Public, you have no right to know what’s going on in this office unless he says you do. This arrogance may not be worth challenging over a cat, even a wounded one. Sorry, Calvin. But maybe it is. In any case, the day is coming. And The Bulletin will be the likely challenger, not simply in an arm-wrestling contest with this out-of-control public servant, but because it is in all of our interests to know what rules and standards are accepted by a man who can charge you with a crime and prosecute you. Flaherty gives every indication that he doesn’t agree with that. He likes dragging people — public servants and journalists — into grand juries in what is nothing short of witch hunts over non-crimes involving information disclosure that might be uncomfortable to his image of himself. That is the defining sign of a bully. And bullies can’t change. They can only be restricted. Sooner or later, citizens will conclude that enough is enough. They’ll conclude that we can disagree without being vengeful, that we can debate without being destructive, that we can be respectful without being weak. And most importantly, they’ll conclude that we all — public and private citizens alike — are part of a great community that should not turn against itself. That is what will happen if we continue down this path and this man is left unchecked. In the meantime, I apologize to Calvin for not considering his predicament worthy of a First Amendment confrontation. But, kitty, I want you to know you’ll be there in spirit when we decide it is. For now, I am very concerned about your condition. Were there any post-surgical problems? Any depression? How’s the rehabilitation going? Are you back on your four feet? I wish I could read the medical reports. I’d ask for them, but what’s the point? The district attorney would, I’m sure, find a way to deny them under the pretense of HIPAA rules. And he wouldn’t say why. John Costa is editor-in-chief of The Bulletin.

Retirement may never be the same, as baby boomers and their children face enormous challenges. But simple steps (planning and saving) go a long way By Steven Greenhouse New York Times News Service

eff Nelson, a manager in the Utah Health Department, says he constantly scolds himself for not setting aside more for retirement. “It’s always there, like that squeaky screen door in back that you want to fix, but you never get to,” said Nelson, 40, the father of a 10-year-old

40s — are likely to have an even rougher retirement than their parents, many economists say. And for the baby boomers themselves, retirement may not seem as rosy as it once did. This year, the first of the nation’s 79 million baby boomers turn 65, and while millions dream of comfortable retirements, perhaps in Boca Raton, Fla., or Palm Springs, Calif., many will discover they will have a tough time in retirement. “The baby boomers will be the first generation that will do worse in retirement than their parents,” said Teresa Ghilarducci, an economics professor and retirement specialist at the New School for Social Research in New York. “And the next generation of retirees will do a lot worse; they fall off a cliff,” largely because so few of them will have the traditional pensions that many of their parents and grandparents had. Americans planning to retire in five to 10 years could see their golden years tarnished by a confluence of circumstances, including depressed housing prices, soaring health costs and a fitful stock market that has pummeled 401(k) plans.

Splitting advanced classes makes sense

chool districts across Oregon face the difficult task of using dwindling or limited funds to provide a broad range of classes for their high school students.

One approach to solving the problem will be taken by the Redmond School District when its second high school opens in 2012. In doing so, it will follow in the footsteps of Bend-La Pine Schools. Redmond and Ridgeview high schools will offer a common core curriculum, one that meets state graduation standards and assures that all district graduates have been exposed to the same basic materials. But rather than duplicating career and advanced academic programs, the district will split them between the two schools. Thus students interested in enrolling in the district’s International Baccalaureate program or studying agricultural science will most likely choose to go to Redmond High, while those who want to take Advanced Placement or green technology classes will opt for Ridgeview. The idea makes sense and is being put in place, with variations, in other schools around the region. In Bend-La Pine Schools, for example, IB classes currently are offered only at Bend High, though the more common AP courses are available at all three general-attendance high schools. Julianne Repman, the district’s communications manager, says the district may well put a second international program — perhaps the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education curriculum

— at one of the other two large high schools. Ultimately, the district hopes to have a unique academic excellence program at each of the three schools. As is the case in Redmond, choices in technical and career-oriented programs also may be limited to a single school, with different schools offering different programs. The advantages are clear. Rather than having to hire teachers with similar areas of expertise three times over, the district can make a much broader range of options available by avoiding the temptation to duplicate efforts at all three schools. Redmond has the advantage in this effort, as it begins with an academic clean slate at Ridgeview. It’s probably no surprise that the region’s two largest school districts have headed out on similar paths where high school curriculum is concerned. The superintendents and other district leaders meet with each other from time to time, and what is a good idea in one district may well be equally promising in another. Meanwhile, both districts work hard to assure that students who aim high academically will be able to do so at any major high school, though with different programs, just as more technical classes will vary from school to school. That’s the kind of educational tailoring that makes sense, both educationally and financially.

My Nickel’s Worth Repercussion for Flaherty In reference to Mr. Flaherty, you have a half-smart district attorney messing with, or giving, The Bulletin a bad time. That was a bone-headed decision on his part. Sooner or later there could be a repercussion in the not-sodistant future for him. Bruno Benno Baer Bend

Cattle industry must stay

Changes to records law don’t go far enough

regon‘s open public records law, first adopted in 1973 and now nearly 30 years old, is in need of a makeover. And while Attorney General John Kroger has made much of his desire to take on that task, what he has come up with hardly gets the whole job done. Senate Bill 41 is Kroger’s proposed changes to state law governing everything from the minutes of public meetings to some correspondence between public officials. Key elements include a time-frame for agencies to respond to a records request, a fee schedule for what can be charged by agencies filling requests, and a move to corral the more than 400 exemptions — up from the original 55 — into a single spot in statute. Largely duplicate exemptions are eliminated, and some that now are absolute can, with difficulty, be successfully challenged. Kroger’s alterations are far from perfect. Setting an upper limit on what can be charged to collect records may effectively create a floor for what is charged, as well. If that happens, some relatively inexpensive requests will cost more than they should. Too, there’s the very real possibility that what is being framed as an

outside time limit on when an agency or official must respond to a records request will become the only time that counts. Requests that are currently granted within a day or two could, under the bill, linger for nearly a month of working days, with further delays beyond that. If timeliness is of value when records are requested, this provision could very well be a double-edged sword. Nor does it make sense to delay the date by which local governments comply with the changes, if they’re adopted, until 2013. We’re not sure what the reasoning behind the delay is; if nothing else in the bill is changed, this should be. SB 41 is not perfect — far from it. It does hold the potential for some improvements, but it leaves some of current law’s biggest problems largely unaddressed. High on that list are the 400 or so exemptions now granted to agencies in the state, a list that grows each year and that has moved Oregon from one of the most open states in the country to one near the bottom of the pack. Imperfect or no, Kroger’s bill is better than nothing — a good first start. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go far enough.

Your article showing the impact that the cattle industry has on the state of Oregon’s economy was most interesting. You stated gross receipts but did not offer insight to the multiplier that takes place from these dollars to the economy. The goods and services used by the cattle industry help drive our economy. When these cattle leave the state, their value is increased by 2.8 times. Everyone, from the tire salesman to the retail clerk to the consumer, benefits from this cattle industry. The cattle industry in Oregon is now under attack. These organizations are tax-free and their main purpose is to implement litigation with the intent of putting the cattle producer out of business. These organizations’ goal is to kill the industry that The Bulletin clearly showed has positive economic impact. The organizations are The Oregon Natural Desert Association and The Hells Canyon Preservation Council. If they are successful, Oregon will not have a cattle industry.

I know that the agriculture business community realizes that it’s good business to operate for sustainability. It’s time that those of us who are true environmentalists voice our concerns in regard to the balance that is needed between society’s quality of life and society’s economic viability. I would argue that economic viability has a major impact on the quality of life. I would hope that my fellow citizens would research these issues and take a stance for balance and fairness in our communities. Robert L. Freeborn Buena Vista Cattle Company LLC Redmond

Misconception about PERS It would seem that the editorial staff at The Bulletin will not be content until they have convinced their readers that the only fair way to balance the state budget is to “reform” the public employees’ retirement system. The implication is that if PERS members would only give up a portion of their “fat” retirement plan then the average working class could keep a little more of his or her paycheck. I would like to offer a different perspective. First, there seems to be some misconception about the level of retirement income that is being paid out to the average working-class state employee. Let me serve as an example. After 23 years with Bend-La Pine Schools, I will receive approximately $1,000 per month of retirement income. To be able to receive this retirement, I had to forego

cost of living increases and other benefits to negotiate the employer pickup of 6 percent. In the last few years of negotiations, I have given up my “lucrative” cost of living increase of 2 percent, dropped my health insurance coverage due to a 150 percent out-of-pocket increase, lost several days pay due to cutbacks and now am looking at further cuts to my income. Keep in mind that when the economy was robust, I was still only receiving wage increases of 2 to 3 percent every three years and after 20-plus years of dedicated service I earn an hourly wage of $21. There were many working-class people (i.e., mechanics, construction workers, small business owners, etc) who were earning much higher salaries than I was at that time. Now when times are hard it seems you would like to punish the slow and steady PERS worker who stuck with his job even when the grass looked greener elsewhere. The job I accepted 23 years ago, working with at-risk youth, has not gotten any easier. And as I look forward to retiring in the near future, I believe I deserve to collect on the agreement that was made by my employer and the state of Oregon. If any of The Bulletin’s editors would be willing to share their retirement plan or compensation package (i.e. monthly salary, benefits, etc.) as I have, I would be very interested in comparing theirs against my “fat” PERS retirement.

Legislature must find an equitable solution for groundwater mitigation By Kimberley Priestley Bulletin guest columnist

s noted by The Bulletin (Jan. 23, “Groundwater law may be renewed”), Rep. Gene Whisnant has introduced a bill on behalf of the Central Oregon Cities Organization that will allegedly “renew” the state’s Deschutes Basin Groundwater Mitigation program. Let’s be clear. As drafted, this bill does far more than that. HB 2867 redefines mitigation and mitigation banks. It also moves away from a science-based mitigation program to one that must accommodate for growth. And, importantly, it allows the state to lift key restrictions of the current rules meant to protect Central Oregon’s beloved scenic waterways and economically important fisheries. In a nutshell, this Trojan Horse bill represents a huge rollback of existing river protections in the current mitigation program. What would this bill mean to Central Oregonians and the rivers they love? For starters, more uncertainty. Because the bill proposes a wholesale change to

some of the key river protections in the existing mitigation program, we see a new rulemaking on the horizon. And if history tells us anything, this would likely take years to resolve. Rewind 13 years. In 1998, the U.S. Geological Survey made initial findings that groundwater indeed fed river flows in the Deschutes Basin, something studies had shown since the 1920s. This means that groundwater pumping in the basin reduces flows in Central Oregon’s treasured rivers — the Deschutes, Metolius, Crooked River and Whychus Creek. Because flows in these rivers are protected by longstanding river protection laws and instream water rights, the state determined that it could not issue new groundwater permits unless mitigation was provided to offset impacts on the river and injury to these water rights. In 1998, groundwater permitting was put on hold and stakeholders were convened to help the state develop a groundwater mitigation plan. In 2002, Oregon adopted rules to guide mitigation in the Deschutes River Basin. In 2005 the Oregon State Court of Appeals

IN MY VIEW struck down those rules because they did not adequately protect streamflows under Oregon’s visionary State Scenic Waterway Act — most notably the Act’s requirement that streamflows be protected year round. Soon thereafter, the 2005 Legislature passed a bill to let the mitigation rules program proceed without addressing any of the shortcomings identified by the court. Fast-forward to 2011. All new groundwater permit holders in the Deschutes Basin are mitigating their use. This is a good thing. However, overall the program has not worked as “fabulously” as the Central Oregon Cities Organization lobbyist reports to The Bulletin. In reality, the overall success of the program has been mixed. In the summertime, it’s fair to call mitigation efforts largely successful. The program has increased flows in the Middle Deschutes while holding Lower Deschutes River flows steady. However,

in the spring and fall, things are less rosy. In these months, which are very important to fish, groundwater pumping continues to reduce streamflows. Clearly, for Central Oregon’s rivers and fish, this is not a winning outcome. It’s important to point out that the only interests being harmed by this program are the rivers and fish. Municipalities and irrigation districts alike are being kept whole, as the state is not currently subtracting the flow losses caused by the mitigation program from their water rights. Instead, the instream water rights, water rights that by law are on the same legal footing as all other rights, are the only ones taking the hit. This hardly seems equitable. And in January 2014, when the existing program is due to sunset, it won’t be legal. We don’t believe anyone thinks the groundwater mitigation program should go away as a whole. Instead, the upcoming sunset should serve as motivation to fix the few remaining problems plaguing the program. With roughly three years to go until the sunset takes place, we think the best approach would be to

convene a small group of stakeholders to develop recommendations to ensure all water rights are protected under the program. In the absence of that, any bill to permanently lift the sunset should make clear that the streamflow losses experienced in the spring and fall will be subtracted from municipal and irrigation water rights, rather than simply allowing the continued erosion of instream rights. We anticipate this latter course would surely lead to cures in the system. Mitigation in the Deschutes River Basin is a complicated issue, but solutions are available. We urge the Legislature to be careful how it chooses to continue the program. HB 2867 does not provide a smooth, or equitable, path forward. This bill will bring discord to the basin, and will likely result in years of legal wrangling. Not a good outcome for cities, farmers, rivers or fish. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Please let your legislators know your rivers deserve better. Kimberley Priestley is the senior policy analyst for WaterWatch of Oregon.

O America’s procrastination generation T

he Obama administration figures that it has read the national mood well. This therapeutic generation of Americans loves to talk and worry about problems and then assumes that either someone else will solve them or they will go away on their own. And why not, since we have had periodic “energy crises” since 1974, have run budget deficits in most years since World War II, and have been warned about a looming Social Security meltdown for the last decade — and yet remain wealthy and affluent. But now gasoline costs more than $4 a gallon in many places in California, and averages more than $3.50 nationwide. In response, the Obama administration is reportedly considering tapping into the nation’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve to increase supplies and drive down high prices brought on by a recovering world economy and unrest in the oil-rich Middle East. Yet the reserve depot was not designed to alleviate periodic gas-price spikes, but to ensure our very survival during a global catastrophe that might result in a cutoff of most petroleum imports from overseas. There are now more than 700 million barrels of stored oil in the reserve. In times of nearArmageddon, even that huge supply would provide for all of the nation’s oil needs for only a single month. It would

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON make up for all imported oil cutoffs for only two months. So how is it wise to tap this critical but finite reserve — especially when the current administration had prohibited new oil and gas production in large parts of the Gulf of Mexico and the western United States? The administration certainly will not reconsider new drilling in oil-rich areas in Alaska or elsewhere off the American coasts. The message to Americans seems to be that it is OK to consume old oil stockpiled by previous generations (the reserve was begun in 1975), but quite wrong to drill for new oil to be used by the present generation. This same self-centered approach characterizes the federal budget. The Obama administration appointed a national debt commission — only to ignore so far its recommendations because they’re seen as too painful. But note that the commission did not call for a balanced budget for years to come. It suggested that only after 26 more years of massive federal borrowing would we

be able to ensure at last Social Security’s long-term financial health. The president often expresses concern over the escalating debt, but then he increased annual borrowing this year, leading to a record $1.6 trillion annual deficit. He senses that Americans can neither sustain the present borrowing nor endure the necessary cuts in federal spending, so in response, the mere promise of future frugality seems to excuse even greater present profligacy. There are two constant refrains about the Social Security crisis. One, we are lectured that payouts have already exceeded revenue. Two, we are promised that only future generations, currently far from retirement age, will have to work longer and get less to ensure that the system is solvent. But if all that math is true, why wait to act? If Americans assume that our children and grandchildren may well have it worse than the baby boomers, then why not rework existing retirement plans right now, either by freezing cost-of-living raises or increasing the retirement age? Otherwise, we send the message that a more affluent generation can demand that a less affluent generation should make all the sacrifices. It might seem ecologically noble to divert federal irrigation water from

hundreds of thousands of acres of California agricultural land to ensure yearround flowing rivers and the health of small fish species. And if we do not wish to drill for more petroleum, then subsidizing the diversion of Midwestern silage land to ethanol production would likewise seem to make sense. But at some point, someone is going to have to tell the people that the less land you produce food on, the less food you have, and the more you pay for what is available. In a time of spiraling food prices, that honest message has rarely been delivered. The United States needs some Harry Truman-like plain speaking, instead of each administration putting off a national reckoning onto the next. Don’t drill for oil and grow food — and the price for both goes up. Spend what you don’t have, and later you will have to pay even more back. The generation that ran up the debt and was largely responsible for the Social Security crisis has a responsibility to make things right on its watch. Such blunt talk is considered political suicide for candidates; in fact, anything less for the rest of us is national suicide.

Empowering women worldwide helps growth By Hillary Rodham Clinton Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — ne of the biggest growth markets in the world may surprise you. You’ve heard about the opportunities opening up in countries like China, regions like Asia and industries like green technology. But one major emerging market hasn’t received the attention it deserves: women. Today, there are more than 200 million women entrepreneurs worldwide. Women earn more than $10 trillion every year, which is expected to grow by $5 trillion over the next several years. In many developing countries, women’s incomes are growing faster than men’s. Facts such as these should persuade governments and business leaders worldwide to see investing in women as a strategy for job creation and economic growth. Many are doing so. Yet the pool of talented women is underutilized, underpaid and underrepresented in business and society. Throughout the world, women do two-thirds of the work, yet they earn just one-third of the income and own less than 2 percent of the land. Three billion people don’t have access to basic financial services we take for granted, like bank accounts and lines of credit; the majority of them are women. Certainly we are seeing the impact of excluding women in the Middle East, where the lack of their access to education and business has hampered economic development and helped lead to social unrest. If we invest in women’s education and give them the opportunity to access credit or start a small business, we add fuel to a powerful engine for progress for women, their families, their communities and their countries. Women invest up to 90 percent of their incomes on their families and in their communities. When women have equal access to education and health care and the freedom to start businesses, the economic, political and social benefits ripple out far beyond their own home. At the State Department, we are supporting women worldwide as a critical element of U.S. foreign policy. We are incorporating women’s entrepreneurship into our international economic agenda and promoting women’s access to markets through the African Growth and Opportunity Act, the Pathways to Prosperity Initiative and women’s entrepreneurship conferences. The U.S. is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Coop-

eration Forum 2011 to help foster growth and increase opportunities for women throughout the region. We are working with the private sector to provide grants to local nongovernmental organizations around the world that are dedicated to women and girls. We are encouraging governments and the private sector to use the tools at their disposal to provide credit, banking and insurance services to more women. Through our mWomen initiative, we will begin to close the gender gap in access to mobile technology, which will improve health care, literacy, education and economic potential. This is a central focus of my diplomatic outreach. Wherever I go around the world, I meet with governments, international organizations and civic groups to talk about economic policies that will help their countries grow by expanding women’s access to jobs and finance.

Many powerful U.S. businesses have embraced this mission as their own. ExxonMobil Corp. is training women entrepreneurs to help them advocate for policies to create more opportunities. Coca-Cola Co. has issued an ambitious challenge in its “5 by 20” program to empower and train 5 million new women entrepreneurs across the globe by 2020. Goldman Sachs started the “10,000 Women” initiative to open the door for women who would not otherwise have access to a business education. Ernst & Young is tapping into the productive potential of women with its “Winning Women” program to help female entrepreneurs learn growth strategies from some of the most successful leaders in the U.S. Companies all over the world are committed to increasing productivity, driving economic growth and harnessing the power of emerging markets through greater diversity. As Robert Zoellick, president of the World Bank said, “gender equality is smart economics.” Governments are passing laws that support women’s economic empowerment and building awareness of women’s rights. Botswana lifted restrictions on the industries in which women can work, for example. Morocco now allows women to start businesses and get jobs without their husbands’ approval. Bolivia began a land titling effort to recognize that women and men have equal rights to own property. This week, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. It’s an occasion for honoring the achievements of women. Without question, the past century has brought astonishing progress, by just about every measure, in women’s health, their economic opportunities, political power and more. Today, women are leaders in every field. Never in history have there been so many forces working together for gender equity. But International Women’s Day is also an occasion for recognizing how much more needs to be done to support women and girls worldwide. I encourage everyone reading this to reflect on what you and your friends can do to support women — to put words and ideas into action. If we decide — as societies, governments and businesses — to invest in women and girls, we will strengthen our efforts to fight poverty, drive development and spread stability. When women thrive, families, communities and countries thrive — and the world becomes more peaceful and prosperous. Hillary Rodham Clinton is secretary of state.

Portugal’s trial with drug laws is worth a look By Daniel Akst Newsday

magine a country so fed up with its ineffective crime-and-punishment approach to drug abuse that it decriminalizes the possession of small amounts of narcotics for personal use. At the same time, it launches a concerted effort to provide treatment for addicts instead of just throwing them in prison. Surely such a naive land would see a sharp increase in drug use, and perhaps a generation of youth blighted by easy access to mind-altering substances. But in Portugal, which is just such a country, that’s not what happened. Drug use does seem to have gone up, but this increase may well be illusory — and rather harmless. What’s not illusory, on the other hand, is the sharp reduction in the ills associated with drug abuse. Nine years into its courageous experiment with sanity as a national drug policy, Portugal is indisputably better off. And it’s getting some wellearned attention for its efforts. Policymakers in this country ought to pay especially close attention, given the colossal futility of our own endless

America’s war on drugs is a costly failure on a larger scale than was Prohibition, with ramifications far beyond our borders. We’ll never eliminate drugs for the simple reason that too many people like them. “war on drugs” — for never has a cure been so much more catastrophic than the disease it was intended to remedy. With 2.3 million inmates, America now has the largest prison population in the world — and the highest per capita rate of incarceration as well. Our absurd drug laws play a big part in this: a quarter of U.S. inmates are nonviolent drug offenders. Incarceration is expensive — in New York, it costs about $45,000 per inmate annually, not counting pensions and other benefits for prison staff. We can no longer afford to lock up so many of our fellow citizens, and so now there is pressure all over America to cut the number of inmates. This makes the Portuguese experience particularly noteworthy at the moment. A study in the British Jour-

nal of Criminology by Caitlin Hughes and Alex Stevens lays it all out. The bad news is that, as you might expect, the price of drugs in Portugal has fallen since the reforms, and there has been some increase in drug use among adults. But neighboring Spain, which didn’t change its laws, also saw an increase in drug use. And the finding in Portugal may simply reflect users’ greater willingness to admit their indulgence to pollsters since the law’s relaxation. Even if the increase is real, it doesn’t much matter, because the harms associated with drug abuse are so much diminished. Before decriminalization, for example, Portugal had the highest rate of drug-related AIDS in the European Union. But in the years since, the infection rate has plunged thanks

to syringe programs, methadone and outreach efforts. Overdose deaths are down, and more addicts are in treatment. As to prisons: Since the new law, arrests for crimes related to drugs have fallen by almost two-thirds. Prisons fell from 119 percent of capacity to 102 percent. And the proportion of inmates incarcerated for drug-related crimes was halved. A key factor in Portugal’s success: treatment and dissuasion (via counseling, community service and other measures) have been integral parts of its drug reforms from the outset. Portugal’s, in other words, was a comprehensive reform. The Portuguese experience should embolden us to try something sensible here. America’s war on drugs is a costly failure on a larger scale than was Prohibition, with ramifications far beyond our borders. We’ll never eliminate drugs for the simple reason that too many people like them. But it’s time to figure out a way to decriminalize narcotics, at the very least, even while firmly discouraging their use. Daniel Akst is a columnist for Newsday.

Sex, jokes and a palace of memories By Maureen Dowd New York Times News Service

ou will either be on the Curve of Forgetting or the Path to the Memory Palace. Joshua Foer’s book “Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything” is both fun and reassuring. All it takes to have a better memory, he contends, are a few tricks and a good erotic imagination. The 28-year-old author, who got a $1.2 million advance and a movie option, honed his mnemonic skills in the basement of his parents’ house. Esther Foer, the president of a public relations firm whose parents were Holocaust survivors and who was in a displaced-persons camp in Germany early in her childhood, and Albert Foer, a think-tank president, encouraged their sons over family dinners at their home here in Washington. The New Republic’s Franklin Foer told The New York Observer that the nightly conversation featured “its share of current events and historical discussion, and, you know, analysis of French symbolism ... but also its share of fart jokes.” Even in his early 20s, Joshua Foer was forgetting to remember a lot, given “the superficiality of our reading” and our “Sisyphean task to try to stay on top of the ever-growing mountain of words loosed upon the world each day.” Things slipped his mind — from when to use “its” and “it’s” to his girlfriend’s birthday to his plethora of passwords. “I’m not sure if I know more than four phone numbers by heart,” he says, citing a Trinity College Dublin survey showing that a third of Brits under 30 can’t remember their own home landline number. “Our gadgets have eliminated the need to remember such things anymore.” He notes that “with our blogs and tweets, digital cameras, and unlimitedgigabyte e-mail archives, participation in the online culture now means creating a trail of always present, ever searchable, unforgetting external memories that only grows as one ages.” Mark Twain once wrote the first letter of topics that he wanted to cover in a lecture on his fingernails. Soon we may be able to get Google on our fingernails to retrieve forgotten facts at a dinner party. But what about internal memories? The experts claim that people of all ages can improve with technique, persistence, concentration and creativity. Foer set out to learn how to goose up the 3-pound mass of 100 billion neurons on his spine and ended up winning the United States Memory Championship in New York. The basis of memory techniques is that the brain remembers visual imagery better than numbers, and erotic, exotic and exciting imagery best. So Foer asserts that you have to “take the kinds of memories our brains aren’t good at holding on to and transform them into the kinds of memories our brains were built for.” Brains formed in the hunter-gatherer era are now trying to excel in the tweeting-blogging era. “When forming images, it helps to have a dirty mind,” Foer writes. “Evolution has programmed our brains to find two things particularly interesting, and therefore memorable: jokes and sex — and especially, it seems, jokes about sex.” Memory grand master Ed Cooke teaches Foer some strategies. If you have a list to remember, you put the items in a path throughout a familiar place, like your childhood home. Imagine a person performing an action on an object. And try to throw in something lewd or bizarre. If you need to remember to get cottage cheese, Ed tells Josh, picture a tub of cottage cheese at the front door and visualize Claudia Schiffer swimming in it. Ed coaches him in a system of memorizing a deck of cards in under two minutes that uses both familiar old memories and thrilling new pictures. Foer said his images devolved into “a handful of titillating acts that are still illegal in a few Southern states, and a handful of others that probably ought to be.” The technique, he writes, “invariably meant inserting family members into scenes so raunchy I feared I was upgrading my memory at the expense of tormenting my subconscious. The indecent acts my own grandmother had to commit in the service of my remembering the eight of hearts are truly unspeakable (if not, as I might have previously guessed, unimaginable). “I explained my predicament to Ed. He knew it well. ‘I eventually had to excise my mother from my deck,’ he said. ‘I recommend you do the same.’”

B E S T- S E L L E R S Publishers Weekly ranks the best sellers for the week ending March 5. HARDCOVER FICTION

The patient was 70, fit and very polite. He made it a point of pride to walk into the emergency room under his own steam. The medical staff went to work on him immediately, cutting off clothes, inserting IV lines, starting fluids and hooking up monitors. The process was so fast that one worker never bothered to look at his face. Another asked for an address and was surprised by the answer: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It has been nearly 30 years since President Ronald Reagan was shot outside the Washington Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981. The attack is well remembered, but the details are not. One reason for the memory lapse, according to Del Quentin Wilber, the author of “Rawhide Down,” a newly revealing account of this potentially deadly attack, is that Reagan survived it so smoothly. Twelve days after being fired upon, he was back at the White House looking sensational. He ultimately enhanced his popularity by rebounding with such courage, resilience and even good cheer. Wilber, a Washington Post reporter, covered a hearing for John Hinckley Jr., the blank-faced shooter who had been found not guilty by reason of insanity in 1982. A few days after the article ran, Wilber was in the office of an FBI agent reporting on a different matter. The agent casually opened a desk drawer and showed him Hinckley’s gun. “Rawhide Down” (which takes its title from Reagan’s Secret Service code name, a tribute to his love of ranching) newly emphasizes the gravity of the damage inflicted on the president. While there was no concealing the devastating injury to James Brady, the White House press secretary, or that two law enforcement officers were also shot, the condition of the president was much more

Can anything new be said about the American Civil War? Though the causes and campaigns have all been examined by ranks of historians, many books are coming this spring for the 150th anniversary of the war’s start on April 12, 1861, when Confederate guns fired on Fort Sumter. More than 100 books — new works and reissues, visual guides and comprehensive histories — offer unexpected angles and fresh interpretations of the battles and key figures we thought we knew. The lessons of the Civil War, these books suggest, remain relevant. “The political process was so polarized that democratic compromise was almost impossible. Is our politics less polarizing today? Not really,” explains David Goldfield, author of a monumental new appraisal of the war, “America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation” (Bloomsbury Press). “Can we learn from this? I hope so.” A history professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Goldfield said two questions have hovered over his 30-year academic career: Why wasn’t there a better way? How did we get to the point of solving disputes only by war? He found his answer and a fresh angle for his book in examining how evangelical Christianity drove a wedge between Southern and Northern interests. “It intruded into the political process so that there was no middle ground. There was only good and evil,” he says. “Selfrighteousness doesn’t make for good public policy. It poisons the process. That’s the theme that frames my book, from the war’s start to its aftermath.” Other new full-scale histories include Louis Masur’s “The Civil War: A Concise History” (Oxford University Press), “This Great Struggle: America’s Civil War” by Steven E. Woodworth (Rowman & Littlefield), Amanda Foreman’s “A World On Fire: Britain’s Crucial Role in the American Civil War” (Random House) and Adam Goodheart’s “1861: The Civil War Awakening” (Alfred A. Knopf), which, though tied to the war’s first year, shows how American identity would be remade during this agonizing chapter in the nation’s history.

Jeffry Wert narrows his focus to a group that struck fear in Union hearts, the Army of Northern Virginia, in “A Glorious Army: Robert E. Lee’s Triumph, 18621863” (Simon & Schuster). Nothing speaks more dramatically of the horrors of slavery than the sight of jagged whip scars on the back of a slave named Peter, whose 1863 photograph is included among many in “Discovering the Civil War” (Foundation for the National Archives/Giles). This coffee table-size book draws from “one of the richest reservoirs of records in our holdings,” writes David S. Ferriero, archivist of the United States. Other visual records are “Brady’s Civil War” (Lyons Press) and “Brady’s Civil War Journal” (Skyhorse Publishing), both of which collect the work of famed photographer Mathew B. Brady not only during battles but in between them, as troops felt boredom and dread as they awaited the next fight. “The New York Times Complete Civil War: 1861-1865” edited by Harold Holzer and Craig Symonds (Black Dog & Leventhal) reproduces the paper’s coverage, including reports and eyewitness accounts (with accompanying DVD).

Luminous fables in a land of loss ‘The Tiger’s Wife’ By Tea Obreht (Random House, 338 pgs., $25)

By Michiko Kakutani New York Times News Service

Tea Obreht’s stunning debut novel, “The Tiger’s Wife,” is a hugely ambitious, audaciously written work that provides an indelible picture of life in an unnamed Balkan country still reeling from the fallout of civil war. At the same time it explores the very essence of storytelling and the role it plays in people’s lives, especially when they are “confounded by the extremes” of war and social upheaval and need to somehow “stitch together unconnected events in order to understand” what is happening around them. Obreht, who was born in the former Yugoslavia and is, astonishingly, only 25, writes with remarkable authority and eloquence, and she demonstrates an uncommon ability to move seamlessly between the gritty

realm of the real and the more primary-colored world of the fable. It’s not so much magical realism in the tradition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez or Guenter Grass as it is an extraordinarily limber exploration of allegory and myth making and the ways in which narratives (be they superstitions, cultural beliefs or supernatural legends) reveal — and reflect back — the identities of individuals and communities: their dreams, fears, sympathies and hatreds. In the frame story a young doctor named Natalia Stefanovic has journeyed, with a friend, to a small town across the border to deliver medicine to an orphanage. She is preoccupied by memories of her beloved grandfather, a well-known physician, who has just died while on a mysterious trip to another village about an hour’s drive away. Obreht has not only made a precocious debut, but she has also written a richly textured and searing novel.

of Chapel Hill) and “Hearts Touched by Fire: The Best of ‘Battles and Leaders of the Civil War’” (The Modern Library). “The Civil War: The First Year Told by Those Who Lived It” (Library of America) also provides a wide-ranging selection of eyewitness accounts. The student of the Civil War might turn to Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer-winning novel “The Killer Angels” and the two subsequent books by his son Jeff, “Gods and Generals” and “The Last Full Measure,” all reissued by Ballantine. In the “unexpected angles” category, a reissue of William Davis’ “A Taste for War: The Culinary History of the Blue and Gray” (Bison Books) shows how soldiers, far from the cooking of wives and mothers, made their own meals. The book comes with many recipes — including pork and parsnip hash and how to cook rabbit, rat and squirrel — for a truly intimate (sometimes gross) understanding of soldiers’ lives. Bevin Alexander’s “Sun Tzu at Gettysburg: Ancient Military Wisdom in the Modern World” (W.W. Norton) analyzes the key battle of the Civil War — along with other battles in American history — through the eyes of Sun Tzu, an ancient Chinese royal advisor who composed “The Art of War.” If Lee had clung to certain principles, Alexander shows, the battle’s outcome could have changed the course of the war).

grave than the public knew. For one thing, the day was chaotic, with real lapses in communication between White House spokesmen and medical personnel. As the book points out, while doctors were operating on Brady’s damaged brain, they were angered to hear radio reports that their patient was dead. For another, it all happened so quickly. The shooting occurred at 2:27 p.m., directly after the president addressed a branch of the AFL-CIO. Four minutes later he was at George Washington University Medical Center, where few staff members had been told he was headed. Parr had to make the life-or-death decision of whether to return Reagan to the White House or rush him to emergency medical care. What had happened to him? No one knew that either. He was in obvious pain, but he had been shoved roughly into his limousine after Hinckley’s .22 went off; maybe that accounted for some of the damage. There was blood on his lips, but no indication of its source. And once doctors were able to examine him, they found a thin slit of a wound on his side but no site resembling a bullet entry hole. Yet the president bled so heavily from internal injuries that during the ensuing 24 hours he lost about half of his total blood supply. “Rawhide Down” is a fastpaced book that captures many points of view. Nurses and medical technicians have especially candid memories of the pressure they faced, the uncertainty about how to deal with such an important patient and the ad-hoc solutions they devised.

Retirement Continued from F1 Not only that, company after company has frozen or eliminated its pension plan, and many members of Congress are pushing to scale back Social Security benefits — even though half of the nation’s retirees receive at least 90 percent of their income from Social Security. Its benefits average $14,000 a year. So perhaps it should not be surprising that 45 percent of America’s baby boomers are “at risk,” without enough to maintain their living standards after they retire, according to the nation’s leading center on retirement studies, the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. Even one development that might seem to be good news — longer life spans — could worsen retirement woes, because more and more people will live for years after they have spent their nest eggs. For couples retiring now, the chances are 50 percent that at least one member will live to 92. But don’t rush to press the panic button, retirement specialists say. Smart planning — and aggressive saving — can go far to ensure a comfortable retirement. Whether you are 29 or 59, put far more into your retirement accounts, they say. Many recommend that you set aside at least 10 percent of your income.

Options for the retired Knowing how lackadaisical millions of Americans are about saving for retirement — and acknowledging that many are struggling just to make ends meet — many retirement specialists are urging Washington to create a savings vehicle, sometimes called an automatic individual retirement account or guaranteed retirement account, that would supplement Social Security and require workers (and perhaps employers) to contribute several percentage points of employee earnings. If you have already retired, there are strategies to help make your retirement years more prosperous and secure. Buying an annuity can ensure you a steady income stream until the day you die, above and beyond Social Security. Some advisers also recommend that people 62 and older consider reverse mortgages, though they often offer less money than several years ago because of the decline in housing values. Another increasingly popular, if unloved, strategy to consider is semiretirement, taking a part-time job or starting a small business to ensure an adequate income. “No one wants to say longevity is a problem, but you have to finance your retirement for a longer period of time,” said David Certner, the legislative policy director for AARP. “We certainly encourage people to continue working that extra year or two. That means not only are you not drawing down for an extra year or two, but you’re building up your assets another year or two.” Phyllis Kaplan, of Highland Park, Ill., began receiving early Social Security payments last August, at 63, because she had

lost her job as a graphic designer for a publishing house. She rolled over money from her 401(k) into an IRA, but she said that still left her without enough income, even with $1,200 in monthly Social Security benefits. So Kaplan started working 10 days a month in a bead shop, making use of her artistic flair. “I realized I had to continue working because I can’t pay my bills,” said Kaplan, who has been divorced for 24 years. “I have no pension, and I have to buy health insurance, and this job is helping me develop more of a nest egg.” She noted that Social Security would cut her benefits if she worked more each month.

Shortfalls for everyone A new report by McKinsey & Co., the consulting firm, is gloomy about retirement. The report, “Restoring Americans’ Retirement Security: A Shared Responsibility,” says, “The average American family faces a 37 percent shortfall in the income they will need in retirement,” meaning “the average household will face a retirement savings shortfall of nearly $250,000 by the time of retirement. “Even before the financial crisis that began in the fall of 2008,” causing 401(k) plans to tumble, “Americans were woefully unprepared for retirement.” Households in the 60-to-65 age group with incomes of $100,000 to $250,000 a year face a 20 percent shortfall in the income needed to maintain their living standards at retirement, the report says, while households 40 to 59 in that income bracket face a 28 percent shortfall. For households with incomes of $50,000 to $100,000, McKinsey found, those 60 to 65 face a 10 percent gap in the income needed to maintain their living standards in retirement, but those 40 to 59 in that income group face a 37 percent shortfall. The shortfalls are even larger for those 30 to 39. The McKinsey report says that group faces the biggest challenge, but “they have the greatest ability to recover by changing their behaviors.” “This group,” the report says, “must rely almost entirely on personal savings” because the payouts from traditional defined-benefit pensions “will provide one-tenth of the retirement income of their parents’ generation.”

‘Save till it hurts’ At 76, Peter Sonders has some strong retirement advice for younger Americans. A longtime lab technician at an AnheuserBusch Brewery, Sonders lives comfortably in retirement in Williamsburg, Va., although he worked 27 years for Rheingold, a beer company that went bankrupt, causing his pension there to wither to $88 a month. Still, Sonders boasts that he has managed to put together a solid retirement in a way, he says, that many others can. “The strategy I would recommend is, you have to save till it hurts, because even your regular pension plan can go up in smoke,” said Sonders, who used to be a trustee on union pension funds. “So save as much as you

Nelson says he scolds himself for not setting aside more for retirement. can, well over 10 percent a year. And don’t speculate too much in what you’re investing. And if you ever get a raise, don’t spend the raise, keep saving it and you usually won’t miss it.”

Dim factors in crisis Retirement specialists say a cascade of unhappy factors has dimmed retirement prospects: • Social Security benefits will replace just 28 percent of a recipient’s preretirement income in 2030, on average, down from 39 percent in 2002, according to the Center on Retirement Research. The drop will result largely from the increased Medicare payments and higher income taxes Social Security recipients will have to pay. Financial planners generally recommend that retirement income be 65 percent to 80 percent of preretirement income to avoid a drop in living standards. Social Security recipients face that decline even without more cuts Congress may make to address the system’s long-term financing problems. One idea is to raise the age for full benefits to 69. • Low interest rates have translated into paltry yields for many bonds and retirement accounts, making it harder to live off interest alone. • Not only do fewer than half of private-sector workers participate in a pension or 401(k) plan, but corporations are moving more workers from traditional pensions to the considerably less generous 401(k). At the same time, publicsector workers, many of whom still have generous defined-benefit pensions, are seeing those plans come under attack in New Jersey, Wisconsin and other states. Jack VanDerhei, research director of the Employee Benefit Research Institute, said, “Unless you’re one of the 40 to 50 percent of the private-sector work force that’s lucky enough to work for an employer that’s sponsoring a retirement plan, the probability that you’ll end up with sufficient money for retirement is de minimis.” • Even many Americans with 401(k) plans face problems because workers have a median of about $30,000 in their accounts, while the 55-to-64 age group just before retirement has a median of $78,000, not much to live on in addition to Social Security if you re-

tire at 65 and live 20 more years. As a result of the stock market’s slide during the recession, 401(k) plans lost $2.8 trillion in value, tumbling by more than 40 percent — though Wall Street’s recent rise has allowed them to recoup more than half that loss. Alicia Munnell, director of the Center on Retirement Research at Boston College, said 401(k) plans were far from ideal for retirement, not least because they are so complicated and many Americans have little investment expertise. Workers, she said, have to decide whether to join their employer’s plan, how much to contribute, how to invest their contributions, when to rebalance, what to do about company stock, whether to roll over accumulations when changing jobs and how to withdraw the money in retirement. “Every step along the way, a significant fraction of participants make serious mistakes,” she said.

Best advice: See a pro Retirement specialists are overflowing with advice about what to do to prevent a drop in living standards. For wealthy and many middleclass Americans, VanDerhei said, “Any overall rule of thumb I give would be silly, but I plead with people, before you retire please go see somebody, please spend a couple of hundred dollars to see a financial planner to discuss the correct drawdown strategy, annuitization and other matters.” VanDerhei said annuities were an excellent idea for many people, though using all one’s retirement savings for an annuity “doesn’t make sense for a lot of people.” He also urged people to seriously consider long-term care insurance to help protect against nursing home costs wiping out their savings. Whether you are wealthy or middle class, retirement specialists emphasize the importance of rebalancing your financial assets as you grow older, moving a higher percentage out of equities and into less volatile investments. While Americans in their 20s and 30s are not saving nearly enough for retirement, many specialists agree, they see one optimistic sign — two-fifths of the 401(k) balances of new hires is being placed in balanced funds, including target-date

H I G H

funds, those that invest based on when an employee plans to retire, to help provide protection from sudden market volatility. Recognizing that many 401(k) investors rarely change their own asset allocations, specialists recommend target-date funds because the fund managers reallocate the funds toward less risky investments as workers age. For moderate- and low-income Americans, retirement specialists emphasize the importance of saving as much as you can, although those Americans have the least ability to put money aside. “Basically, people don’t save on their own,” Munnell said. “They only save through organized institutional mechanisms. Lecturing people to save doesn’t work.”

Congress urged to help The Pension Protection Act of 2006 created incentives for more companies to funnel all their employees into 401(k) plans, but many small businesses have not done so, leaving millions of workers without retirement plans. Some retirement specialists and advocacy groups, noting that one-third of retirees get 100 percent of their retirement income from Social Security, often just $14,000 a year, say more needs to be done to help low- and moderate-income retirees. Karen Friedman, executive vice president for the Pension Rights Center, a nonprofit group, is urging Congress to create what are often called guaranteed retirement accounts, to which employees and employers would contribute, with each giving perhaps 3 percent of an employee’s pay. She also said the federal government should provide a tax subsidy to give workers, especially low-income ones, an incentive to contribute. “Congress,” Friedman said, “shouldn’t be focusing on cutting Social Security — that’s the part of the retirement system that works best — but on strengthening the private side of the system to make sure everyone has adequate and secure benefits for retirement.” But many business groups, as well as VanDerhei’s institute, oppose requiring employers to contribute 2 percent or 3 percent as part of such a system, arguing that companies already face plenty of government mandates. Ghilarducci had frank if unpleasant advice about how Americans might deal with the looming problem of saving too little to maintain their living standards in retirement. Asserting that millions of people have been overspenders who have lived beyond their means, she said: “People do need to save more money for retirement. Unless changes are made to give people better pensions, my advice is to ratchet down your living standards, so when you have less money during retirement you won’t be so disappointed.”

Reliving a boxing legend “Joe Louis: Hard Times Man” By Randy Roberts (Yale University Press, 328 pgs., $16)

By David M. Shribman Bloomberg News

Next to baseball, boxing has spawned the greatest A m e r ic a n sports writing, and Joe Louis is one of the reasons. Randy Roberts, a Purdue University historian, has written “Joe Louis,” a biography with the apt subtitle “Hard Times Man.” Roberts, who has also written biographies of Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson, puts Louis in his historical context, equating the prizefighter with Franklin Delano Roosevelt as cultural touchstones of their time, arguing that each was “a moral compass during a turbulent era.” That was an era when the world heavyweight championship and the World Series were equal competitors for the nation’s attention. Louis’s rivals in the rings were but foils for his ability and his personality. “Louis had become the black Clark Gable, supernatural in his power to attract crowds,” Roberts writes. The sheer power of his appeal helped revive boxing after the retirement of Dempsey and Gene Tunney. He was a symbol, too. In the Schmeling bouts, Louis stood for American virtue against Nazi racial arrogance — and Louis’s victory in the second fight was, as Roberts puts it, a validation of “an American ideology of equal opportunity and individual initiative.” But of course, Louis, born in Jim Crow Alabama, part of the great migration to Detroit and shaped by the persecution of Jack Johnson, knew that equal opportunity and individual initiative were limited if you were black in America. He became “the loudest cry for racial justice,” Roberts says, and one that “set the tone for the later civil-rights movement.”

A CENTURY FOR MILLER LUMBER CO.

Abiding foundation By Jordan Novet

George Palmer Putnam, then editor and publisher of The Bulletin, second from right, poses for a picture with Miller Lumber Co. founder H. A. “Ham” Miller, third from right, and other men near Pioneer Park in or around 1911. In 1910, Miller moved to Bend from Wisconsin and partnered with J. H. Overturf and Dwight Davis in the Overturf-Davis-Miller Co. The following year, Miller purchased his partners’ interests in the company and founded the Miller Lumber Co.

The Bulletin

iller Lumber Co. is 100 years old this month. Or is it next month? Charley Miller is not exactly sure. Miller, president and a co-owner of the company his grandfather founded, does not keep a large history file at the company’s headquarters on Greenwood Avenue in Bend. For him, history is not as important as the present and the future. Miller is a decidedly forward-looking person. Not that he can’t brag about the past a bit. “We’re the oldest (Bend company) under the same family,” Miller said Monday during a wide-ranging conversation about the company’s history in a conference room at the Bend office. Miller was rifling through what little archival material he had. “It’s not the sexiest business,” Miller said. Still, he’s proud of his family’s achievement. Miller Lumber Co. appears to be one of the oldest remaining businesses in Bend, having been established in 1911. It also stands out for staying in the same family. (The Bulletin, for its part, began in 1903 but did not stay in the family of founder Max Lueddemann.) It is considered a pioneer family in the city and has had a hand in many parts of its development. Gary Vitale, president and CEO of the North American Wholesale Lumber Association, said several century-old lumber companies exist in the eastern part of the United States. “Then, as you go (farther) west, you get fewer and fewer,” he said.

BendBroadband wants to expand mobile Internet By Tim Doran The Bulletin

When it comes to total customers, BendBroadband’s 35,000-plus cannot compare to Verizon, which has more than 100 million, give or take. When it comes to offering the latest video and Internet technology, however, BendBroadband competes with the national telecommunications company, which reported $2.5 billion in net income last year. Both offer high-definition television, highspeed Internet, and local and long distance phone service. They both offer Wi-Fi and mobile broadband, too. Verizon also offers mobile, or cellular, phone service. BendBroadband does not. But it could, if Verizon, AT&T and other national and regional carriers allowed access to their networks at a reasonable fee, BendBroadband has told the Federal Communications Commission. The family-owned Bend company, along with other cell phone and rural providers, wants the FCC to make roaming on data networks automatic, just as the agency did on voice networks. Customers want to access all content from all locations, said Frank Miller, BendBroadband’s chief technology officer, and the company wants to provide it. “Roaming rates directly get in the way of innovation because it’s not competitive,” he said. But Verizon and AT&T disagree. They say the market works fine and has helped lead to innovation without government regulation. See Internet / G3

MINNEAPOLIS — Nataliya Gourley is a Target shopper — for now. Just down the road from the Blaine SuperTarget where the 37-year-old piano teacher shops, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is planning a new store. Will Gourley defect when this Walmart opens? “Why not?” she asked. “It’s cheaper. Actually, I was waiting for it.” She won’t need to wait much longer. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the country’s top mass merchandiser, is on a building blitz that, by one estimate, will pour $1 billion into Minnesota to build 50 or more stores over the next five to eight years. Already, it’s pursuing at least six new stores in the Minneapolis area with many more on the way, say people familiar with the company’s plans. The move, which comes after several years of remodeling and expanding the 20 stores it already has in the metro area, is a bold strike at a major rival, Target Corp. Minnesota, where Target has 74 stores, has always been one of the most profitable regions for the Minneapolis-based retailer. See Wal-Mart / G5

In Groupon’s wake, a wave of startups

Some strategy tips for wannabes

A chemist, an artist and a lot of fizz

— Caroline Mak, partner of Brooklyn Soda Works, an artisanal soda company

By Jessica Bruder New York Times News Service

Is there no limit to the passion of American shoppers for online daily-deal discounts? Hundreds of startup companies — imitators of Groupon, the group-buying website that offers daily deals on knitting supplies, skydiving lessons, barbecued ribs, pole-dancing classes and a smorgasbord of other stuff you may or may not want — are racing to find out. Groupon’s competitors have been called groupies, copycats and clones. But who can blame them? In just over two years, Groupon has accumulated 60 million subscribers, more than $1 billion in venture capital and $760 million in annual revenue to become the fastest-growing Web company ever. In December, it declined a $6 billion buyout offer from Google. So the race is on to emulate the company’s appealing business model: Team up with a local merchant, send out an e-mail blast pitching a discount coupon for the merchant’s product or service and keep half of the revenue that comes in.

By day, Antonio Ramos is a medicinal chemist at the drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis in Bridgewater, N.J., where he helps develop molecules for prescription drugs. In the evening, he puts his chemistry skill set to a different use: developing formulas for Brooklyn Soda Works, the artisanal soda company he started last year with his partner, Caroline Mak. At a commercial kitchen they rent in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, the couple make fruit sodas in flavors like cucumber lime sea salt or spiced cranberry. Last year, the seasonal drinks sold at the outdoor weekend flea market in nearby Fort Greene as well as in a hand-

ful of craft food restaurants like Blue Hill in Manhattan. Recently, the pair were experimenting with new flavor extraction methods and ingredient combinations in the kitchen of their apartment. Mak, 30, an installation artist by day, stood on the left side of the stove, heating a medley of fresh ginger wedges, cardamom seeds and pressed apple juice. Meanwhile, Ramos, 29, watched an adjacent burner, tending to an experiment inspired by Scotch whisky. He had placed sliced plums and lemon peel in a tin-foil sieve over an industrial stockpot lined with Scottish burning peat — in the hope that he could infuse the fruit with peat smoke. See Soda / G3

As shoppers want customization, manufacturers say, ‘Do it yourself’ By Emily Bryson York and Alejandra Cancino Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Blame it on Starbucks. Consumers seem to be looking for ways to personalize everything they buy. It’s not just picking apps for their phones, special touches for their shoes or music for their iPods, but down to customizing everything from mashed potatoes to the water they drink. Alexander Chernev, an associate professor of marketing at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management, said consumers derive “additional utility or value” in doing something themselves. Chernev, who studies consumer behavior, calls it “the Ikea effect” because buyers got to assemble their own furniture. Manufacturers traditionally developed products based on consumer tastes, Chernev said. But as preferences became highly fragmented, companies decided that the only answer was to outsource the customization to consumers themselves. For example, Heinz scored a smash hit in 2008 with a line of frozen potatoes that moms could steam in the microwave. The associated insight was this: No one likes to peel, everyone wants to mash, and moms feel better about putting something on the table when it has a personal touch. Heinz offers suggestions on the package, and more suggestions online, for “making it your own.” It’s hardly a new trend. Apple with its iPods and computers, Harley-Davidson with its motorcycles, Nike with its NikeID shoes that allow customers to personalize their choices online, as well as Starbucks and Coca-Cola have been particularly adept at creating products that let consumers alter them to their own tastes. The concept has accelerated for 15 years or so and seems to be gaining momentum, notably in beverages. In February, Kraft, the Northfield, Ill.-based food giant, introduced its first new brand since the DiGiorno pizza line in 1995: MiO, a squeeze bottle of flavoring and a dropper priced at $3.99 that allows consumers to doctor their water to taste with such flavors as strawberry-watermelon and pomegranate. “Consumers are really looking to have their personal tastes reflect in all things they’re doing and using,” said MiO senior brand manager Liza Laibe. It’s

Single-serve coffee makers allow consumers to bring some of the taste of the coffee shop home. In this way, manufacturers are looking at allowing the user to customize everything from coffee to flavored water. particularly important for millennials, which Kraft pegs as those ages 18 to 39. Kraft is expected to back MiO with the full force of its marketing muscle. Laibe declined to say how much would be spent but said television ads will begin airing late this month. Kraft will also give away 100,000 samples through MiO’s Facebook page. A recent Coca-Cola innovation is the Freestyle machine that lets customers make more than 100 different beverages by adding flavors like lemon, orange or raspberry to their Diet Coke or Dasani water. Experts trace the drink phenomenon to Starbucks, which pioneered modifiers like “nowhip,” “double shot” and “nonfat” to the masses in the early 1990s, effectively removing the stigma attached to complicated orders. As a result of Starbucks’ success, customization became the rage. Burger King returned to popularity in 2006 in part by reminding patrons to “Have it your way.” Sometimes, marketers may take the trend too far. Chernev pointed to a recent ad that encourages consumers to express themselves via their choice of flavored coffee creamer. While the proliferation of choices may seem extreme, companies seem to be responding to the demands of her gen-

eration, said Sophie Grimm, a 23-year-old student at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts. “Our generation has this sense of entitlement,” she said. “It’s not only ‘the customer is always right,’ but ‘I’m always right.’” Sometimes turning over too much choice to the consumer can backfire. That’s one of the problems with MySpace, said 24-year-old Jered Montgomery, of Chicago. The social networking site, he said, gave users too much control over the way their pages look. Facebook, in contrast, boxes information in one basic template while also giving users just the right amount of autonomy to customize their pages, said Montgomery. “I can pick my favorite books (on Facebook), but it’s not free-range.” Lynn Dornblaser, director of consumer packaged goods insight at Mintel International, says the media has been dramatically altered as a result of customization. “We call it a ‘snack society’ because everybody snacks on little bits of things, little bits of data, little bits of information, and it’s all customized just to you,” Dornblaser said. She said Google Alerts and RSS feeds have capitalized on the desire for those snacks of news and infor-

Starbucks takes next big step into single-serve By Emily Bryson York Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO — Starbucks Corp., the Seattle-based coffee giant, has entered into an agreement with Waterbury, Vt.-based Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. for the manufacture, distribution and sale of Starbucks and Tazo tea-branded K-Cups. Green Mountain holds patents on KCups, used to make drinks on the Keurig, and owns the singleserve machines. Starbucks and Tazo K-Cups will be available in grocery and club stores, Starbucks cafes and department stores. Starbucks will also begin selling the Keurig brewers in store. In so doing, Starbucks makes a

big splash in the $2 billion singleserve coffee category, described as being in the nascent stages. Keurig holds about 70 percent of the brewer market, according to an estimate by Janney Montgomery and Scott. “Today’s announcement is a win for Starbucks, a win for (Green Mountain) and most importantly, a win for consumers who want to enjoy Starbucks coffee with the Keurig SingleCup Brewing system,” Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said in a statement. “Our research shows that more than 80 percent of current Starbucks customers in the U.S. do not yet own a single-cup brewer, and our relationship will enable

Starbucks customers to enjoy perfectly brewed Starbucks — coffee at home, one quality cup at a time.” “We are pleased to see Starbucks announce that not only will it sell K-Cups within its thousands of retail stores — stores which arguably boast the highest customer frequency of any retailer of size in the U.S. — but also in multiple other retail channels,” Janney analyst Mark Kalinowski wrote in a research note. “To us, this signals that Starbucks won’t act cautiously with the Starbucks’ brand KCups — it will boldly enter the market in a meaningful way, making an assertive push to place product.”

mation as traditional mass-audience newspapers have declined in circulation. Now a version of what Starbucks did for store sales of coffee is expected to transform the consumption of coffee at home. The latest twist is single-serve coffee pods brewed in machines that allow people to make whatever flavor they want in less than a minute. “Today when you drink a coffee, you’re not looking for a coffee, you’re looking for your coffee, the coffee you like, the taste you like,” said Xavier Unkovic, general manager of Mars Drinks North America, which is one of several companies betting on the trend. Mars, which bought Milwaukee-based Alterra Coffee Roasters last year, is launching a set of Alterra packets for its Flavia machines. The coffee products, designed to boost the overall quality of Flavia’s offerings, are coupled with a number of tea products and sweet drinks, which taste like Dove chocolate or Milky Way candy bars. Unkovic compared Americans’ increasing affinity for coffee to the growing enthusiasm for wine. “Look at wine 15 years ago,” he said, noting most stores didn’t have much of a selection. “Look at how many wines there are today. Coffee is developing in the same way.”

Internet Continued from G1 About a half dozen U.S. representatives have expressed concerns about or support for wireless broadband data roaming, according to the FCC, which has been analyzing comments and opinions and has not indicated when it will decide the issue.

Roaming Nearly everyone with a cell phone has heard of roaming. It allows customers of one company to make calls even when traveling through a competing company’s territory, so “consumers have access to seamless coverage nationwide,” according to an FCC document. The FCC requires companies

Miller Continued from G1 Altogether, he said, “not a lot of companies reach that century mark. That’s quite a feat. … There are probably more than even we know of, but even at that, you’re talking about a very select group of individuals and families that can make a company stay viable for that long.” He said his hat is off to the Miller family. Bend native and historian Jim Crowell has some ideas about why the company has managed to survive as long as it has. For one thing, Crowell said, every town needs a lumber yard. (Today, Miller has locations in Bend, Prineville, Madras and Redmond.) Also, he said it helps if a company can be around long enough to serve the next generation of Miller Lumber customers. And he figures the company has been able to forge strong ties with mills and their salespeople, to arrange for the smartest possible business dealings. Crowell himself is impressed with the longevity of the business. Others he recalls from his childhood — Woolworth, for instance — are gone for good. “Businesses that you would swear would be there your entire life … haven’t been there 50 years,” he said.

Looking back Over the past century, many aspects of the Miller Lumber Co. have changed, from products to building techniques, from leadership style to employment, Miller said. The economy has changed multiple times, too. Wars have started and ended. But there has always been lots of work to do. “So you just keep grinding, I think,” he said. Some things have been passed down and kept constant, though, he said: “involvement and investment in the community, which I think helps you survive and helps give you some meaning in why you’re surviving.” He said his father, Bill, and grandfather, H.A., known as Ham, were both one step removed from on-the-ground goings-on, “but still very much with their finger on the pulse.” He has preferred a more involved role as president of the company. It’s “smaller than most people might think,” he said, with 24 employees, and therefore “you don’t need a lot of organizational structure.” If anything, he said, the company is “pretty flat.” Having spent plenty of time watching his father work at the helm, he said he was moved to keep the company running with nuance, “conservative in operations, but also looking at other things.” In the more than 25 years he has worked there full-time, he’s made innumerable slight changes from month to month, all for the sake of keeping the business successful and responsive. Practicality and reason, he said, have been important values in selecting products to offer at the yards. He said he would only allow the company to sell a new product if it fits customers’ needs, make sense and functions better than the products already on the market. As far as recessionary survival skills are concerned, Miller said he has chosen retirements and hour cutbacks over layoffs for his employees. Technological innovations have allowed the company to do more with fewer people on hand. It helps that, in his eyes, there are bright spots in his industry. Green building has become popular, and, he said, “wood is the greenest-building material, I would say, on the Earth.”

to make roaming automatic for wireless voice services. But it treats wireless broadband services differently. Technology has started to erase that difference. Cell phones and computers have converged into increasingly advanced smart phones and other devices that let users make telephone calls — and browse the Web, send e-mail and use interactive programs. Second- and third-generation networks can be found in Central Oregon and many other parts of the country. Some users on 3G networks can watch video clips. Last year, Verizon began deploying even faster 4G networks, which the company expects to have in 178 markets by the end of this year, according to its latest annual report. In 2009, BendBroadband launched a souped-up 3G net-

Looking forward At least for now, he’s not interested in running for mayor, despite the fact that both his father and his grandfather have served in that capacity. Miller has volunteered in a different position his father and grandfather once held: president of the Bend Chamber and chair of its board. Tim Casey, its executive director, said Ham Miller was instrumental in the organization’s creation. “The Millers have been just outstanding in helping us, supporting the Chamber,” said Casey, who became associated with the organization eight years ago and has since called on Charley Miller many times for all kinds of background information. In the educational realm, he has followed his father, Bill Miller, in supporting higher education. His father was a founder of Central Oregon Community College and its foundation. Now Charley Miller is on the school’s board of directors. He isn’t particularly concerned about whether any of his children would like to take the reins of the company when the time is right for him to step aside. “You want the next generation to be doing what they want to do,” he said. He said the company does not have an obligation to continue running, and in the family at that, especially if business declines. It’s strictly a business decision, not a sentimental one. “There’s no great feeling of responsibility to trudge on if things become miserable,” he said. “We didn’t sign in blood.” Jordan Novet can be reached at 541-633-2117 or at jnovet@bendbulletin.com.

work that reached faster speeds than some national carriers had in the region, according to a document filed with the FCC in support of data roaming, and it’s prepared to deploy even higher speed networks. “Really, at the end of the day, it’s all data,” Miller said, referring to voice, Internet, video and other services. The company, which began operations in 1955, began expanding into wireless around 2006 and has spent more than $7 million since then on wireless spectrum covering about onethird of Oregon, according to its FCC comments. “... In the fall of 2009, we used this spectrum to become the first communications company in the country to deploy the fastest wireless broadband technology on the planet,” the

company wrote. But it’s mostly used to provide fixed wireless service to customers in the outlying areas of Central Oregon. BendBroadband offers a mobile broadband service, however. It will allow a customer with a laptop and a broadband modem to connect to the Internet from Todd Lake in the Deschutes National Forest or Smith Rock State Park, according to its coverage map. The service reaches from Warm Springs in the north to around Gilchrist in the south, according to the map, and from Prineville in the east to nearly the crest of the Cascades in the west. But without a roaming agreement, BendBroadband customers cannot use it outside those limits. BendBroadband attempted to negotiate an agreement with an

BendBroadband has offered no plans to provide cell service. But it offers home telephone service, and a related company, Bend Cable Data Services, is a licensed Oregon telephone company, according to the state Public Utility Commission. Along with BendBroadband, others supporting data roaming requirements include the National Cable & Telecommunications Association and the Rural Cellular Association. “... The value to consumers of mobile wireless Internet service has greatly increased,” the cable association wrote in its comments. “Cable operators want to be able to offer their Internet

Soda Continued from G1 The practical knowledge he has gleaned from coaxing potential drug ingredients out of ginger and other plants comes in handy here. “It helps me think about how to extract flavors from herbs,” Ramos said. But it is not his experience in chemical extraction alone that has helped turn the pair’s hobby into a soda startup. Mak’s artistic inclination to make something entirely new has helped them find a niche in a haute beverage market populated by locally roasted coffees, spiced hot chocolates, craft beers and infused vodkas. Their entry is a nonalcoholic, noncaffeinated adult drink that is not so much a soda as a limited-edition carbonated juice. Mak takes the ginger cardamom flavor base off the stove, mixes it with apple juice and pours the liquid into a siphon canister for carbonation. Whereas mass-produced fruit sodas that sell in supermarkets are typically made from fizzy water and juice concentrates, she says, their handmade sodas use only fresh ingredients. “We thought there was a bit of a gap, especially in the area of nonalcoholic beverage options made from fresh fruit,” she said. The soda venture may have started as a whim: They wanted to see whether they could make their own ginger beer at home so they could serve Dark and Stormy cocktails at a party. But once they saw a potential commercial opportunity, they proceeded scientifically, using each phase of their business — from seeking initial capital to supplying restaurants — to test and refine

Caroline Mak, left, an artist, and Antonio Ramos, a chemist, stir ingredients at Brooklyn Soda Works in New York on Feb. 28. their niche-market theory. First, they tried their soda flavors, like pure ginger and lemon, on their friends. “Our friends liked it, but we wondered if others would like it,” Ramos said. “We thought, how can we test it?” They applied for a table at the Brooklyn flea market. Then they sought seed capital of about $2,000 through Kickstarter.com, a site that helps finance creative startup businesses. “We achieved it in four days, which was stunning,” Mak said. With the money, the pair bought equipment like soda kegs. They consulted artisanal beer makers about carbonation techniques. They worked with a program at the Cornell University College of Agriculture to vet their soda recipes. On their first day at the flea market last April, they sold out by 3 p.m., Mak says. Soon after came an episode that is the foodie equivalent of a starlet being discovered at the lunch counter in Schwab’s drugstore: the chef at Blue Hill, who lives in the neighborhood, happened by the

flea market and tasted the sodas. Blue Hill soon became a wholesale client. For Mak and Ramos, a second career in carbonation was born. Brooklyn Soda Works has arrived at a time when “made in Brooklyn” foods, from boroughroasted Gorilla Coffee to homemade pies from Four & Twenty Blackbirds, are having a cultural moment. In fact, two local craft beer destinations, Beer Table in Park Slope and 61 Local in Cobble Hill, have each repurposed a beer line to put Brooklyn soda on tap. But the special selling point of the sodas — fresh ingredients — is also their limitation. The sodas have the shelf life of milk, about two weeks, Mak says. And the couple have made a deliberate decision to stay with fresh ingredients, keeping the brand limited and fairly local. That means they make frequent deliveries to their bar and restaurant clients. They have no plans, as yet, to sell to chain stores, but they might consider supplying a local artisanal food store. Even so, the company made money last year, the couple says.

customers such a mobile service – and to compete effectively with the telephone companies ... .” In arguments against data roaming, AT&T and Verizon say they have worked out data roaming agreements with smaller providers, according to their filings with the FCC. Regulation will reduce innovation, they argue, because it will take away the incentive to continue building capacity. They also question whether the FCC even has the authority to regulate wireless broadband. “The market works, now without government intervention, so further regulation by the FCC is unnecessary,” according to AT&T. Tim Doran can be reached at 541-383-0360 or at tdoran@bendbulletin.com.

But so far, their sodanomics are not enough to retire on. Their sodas typically sell at the wholesale level for $80 a 5-gallon keg. The pair can make more than twice as much per keg at the flea market, where they sell their soda at retail for $4 a glass. Now the challenge is to scale up production and increase the number of wholesale clients, all while maintaining quality. The company has just hired its first three employees, to help make and sell soda. And, Mak says, they have just signed a new client, Untitled, the Danny Meyer restaurant that is to open this month in the Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan. But, she says, she was quick to tell the restaurant that the soda company was not yet at a point where it could supply other Meyer restaurants, like Union Square Cafe or the Shake Shack mini-chain. At the end of an evening of soda experiments, the couple’s kitchen is perfumed in a haze of peat and citrus peel. Mak takes the canister of cardamom apple ginger soda that she has just made and conducts a taste test. “This needs more work,” she said. “The cardamom has been beaten back by the ginger and the apple.” Ramos checks on the peatsmoked fruit experiment, taking the plums and lemon peel out of the pan and sniffing them. “It’s definitely peaty,” he said, pleased. Like single-malt Scotch whisky, the Brooklyn sodas and their unusual flavors — grapefruit jalapeno honey, strawberry hops pink peppercorn and (go figure) maple bacon — attract a certain beverage cognoscenti. That kind of chemistry between consumer and consumed is no accident. “It’s an expensive product and we are making weird flavors,” Ramos acknowledged. “You can dumb it down, or you can try to understand your niche and push harder into that niche.”

Groupon Continued from G1 Groupon’s closest rival, LivingSocial, has confirmed a $175 million investment deal with Amazon. Other Web heavyweights — including Facebook, Yelp, Travelzoo, OpenTable and the spurned suitor Google — are all adopting features similar to Groupon’s. But most of the companies grabbing at Groupon’s coattails do not have a vast subscriber base or millions of dollars. Instead, they are relying on a strategy called fast following — the idea that copying a blockbuster startup yields fewer risks and potentially great rewards. Will it work? Among the hopefuls are these recent entrants, grouped by strategy:

Find your tribe If you are a member of any particular crowd, chances are a Groupon imitator is looking for you. Gay? Try Daily Pride. African-American? There’s Black Biz Hookup. Gluten intolerant? Gluten-Free Deals is coming soon. Own a small business? Here’s GroupPrice. In November, Jodi Samuels, 37, and Allen Ganz, 43, introduced a Jewish group-buying site in New York City called Jdeal (Samuels said Jewpon.com was already taken). Recent offerings have included bargain bagels and halfprice tickets for the Maccabeats, a Jewish a cappella group. Samuels and Ganz think Jdeal can thrive alongside Groupon because they know their audience. In 2000, Samuels helped found Jewish International Connection, a nonprofit for young professional Jews who move to New York from overseas. In 2009, she and Ganz started MetroImma, a social networking site for Jewish mothers. “We realized we’d immediately have traction,” Samuels said, “because we already had the young professionals and the moms, who are probably the two prime consumers of the daily deal sites.” Jdeal already has more than 8,000 subscribers and offers merchants a revenue split of 60-40, in the merchants’ favor. Samuels and Ganz say Jdeal brought in more than $100,000 in revenue in its initial 11 weeks, and they predict $500,000 in revenue for the first year. They hope to expand across seven markets in the U.S. and Canada in 2011.

Go hyperlocal Groupon has established itself in 500 markets across 42 countries. How do you compete with that? For dozens of entrepreneurs, it is a matter of fencing off some territory and building strong relationships. That is what brother-and-sister team Rob and Wendy Jaffe are doing in Southern California’s Conejo Valley, a cluster of suburban communities where they introduced Conejo Deals in April. “You get the Groupon and LivingSocial e-mails, and you say, ‘That’s a great deal, but I’m not driving 30 miles or 50 miles,’” said Rob Jaffe, 48. “So the idea was to bring it to our community.” As a Little League coach, he started building his subscriber list during team tryouts, offering to donate a dollar to local schools and nonprofits for each parent who signed up. He now has 10,000 subscribers. Wendy Jaffe, 49, thinks that, with local sites like Conejo Deals, merchants can reach more customers who are likely to return. “If you’re using a large company like Groupon,” she said, “you’re getting people into your business who will be there once for the deal. You’ll never see them again, because they’re not going to drive back 30 miles to pay full price.”

And if Groupon invades the valley? “I’m not worried,” Rob Jaffe said. “They’re based in Chicago, and I’m here.” Local merchants, he added, appreciate that he visits them in person the day after a deal runs, bearing a spreadsheet and, more important, a check. Conejo Deals offers merchants a 50-50 split on each offer and has brought in more than $700,000 in revenue so far.

Wag the long tail Groupon caters to the masses, which means avoiding the obscure corners of any particular product niche. For example, you might be hard-pressed to find a Groupon discount on allergy-relief shampoo for dogs. And so competitors are creating daily-deal boutiques with specialties like eco-friendly products, outdoor adventures and pet supplies. PetSimply, which recently offered $10-off deal on $20 worth of the aforementioned dog shampoo, introduced its first deal on Feb. 14. The site’s founders — Adam Jacox, 25, and Jason Casperson, 30, of Kissimmee, Fla. — say they have contracted with more than two-dozen retailers to introduce discounts on nutritional supplements, chew toys and gourmet dog cookies. PetSimply splits revenue evenly with most merchants and has attracted more than 10,000 subscribers so far. The founders of PetSimply are both devoted owners of rescued dogs. In the process of building a company with $50,000 in seed money from family and friends, they are also trying to help neglected creatures. When subscribers refer their friends to PetSimply, a portion of the proceeds goes to animal charities. The idea for PetSimply came after the company’s founders started keeping an eye on the daily-deal market — as consumers. “We got addicted and spent entirely too much money on Groupon and LivingSocial,” Jacox said. As niche sites began to emerge, he said, “we thought the pet industry would be a good place to go.”

Rise above the fray Why jump into the gold rush when you can sell picks and shovels to the prospectors? Groupon imitators have created a system with plenty of secondary markets. Lifesta, a site that had its debut in July, lets remorseful buyers resell unused deal vouchers, charging 99 cents apiece in addition to 8 percent of the sale price. Agriya, a Web developer in Chennai, India, builds and sells Groupon clone sites for aspiring deal-mongers. Tickets for the first-ever industrywide conference, the Daily Deal Summit, are on sale for $495 a person. One of the best-known companies in the secondary market, Yipit, aggregates daily deals from more than 360 sites, offering one-stop shopping for some 150,000 bargain-hunters on its subscriber list. Yipit adds about 20 new sites each week, said Vinicius Vacanti, its chief executive. Last summer, Yipit raised $1.3 million in venture capital. The company is not profitable yet, but it is developing revenue streams, selling industry data reports and charging commissions on referrals. Groupon, for example, pays 2 percent of the gross revenue on each sale that Yipit brings in; smaller daily-deal sites pay as much as 40 percent.

Wal-Mart Continued from G1 “Wal-Mart wants to beat Target on its own turf,” said Burt Flickinger III, managing director of Strategic Resource Group, a retail consultant in New York City that closely follows the Bentonville, Ark., retailing giant. His $1 billion Minnesota expansion estimate includes two new distribution centers. “It almost seems personal to me,” said retail veteran Dick Grones, principal at Cambridge Commercial Realty in Minneapolis. The throng of new stores includes scaled down mini-supercenters of up to 99,000 square feet and at least two dozen additional small, urban format stores of up to 55,000 square feet, according to Flickinger. About half of that expansion will be in the Twin Cities — “a construction phase of unprecedented proportions in terms of expansion into a market that’s already overstored,” he said. Wal-Mart has been stepping up construction around the country as it tries to gain traction off the Great Recession. Though it initially fared well as the economy sank and shoppers turned to its low prices, the retail giant has suffered six straight quarters of declining U.S. same-store sales. The recession had the opposite impact on Target. It was initially hurt, but has had positive same-store sales for the past four quarters. Analysts say Wal-Mart hurt itself when it decided a few years back to radically reduce the number of products on its shelves, and to shift focus away from the rock-bottom prices that its core customers — households with incomes below $70,000 — want. Wal-Mart refuses to discuss numbers, as did Wal-Mart’s local broker, Mike Sims, head of the local office of Mid-America Real Estate Group. Lisa Nelson, Wal-Mart’s local spokeswoman, emphatically denied that Wal-Mart’s expansion has anything to do with Target. It’s simply about serving its customers, she said. She described Flickinger’s $1 billion assessment as “speculative” and “not based on anything that is going on in our operation here in Minnesota.” “There’s not 60 projects in the pipeline,” she said. But there is ample room to expand, she said. “If you look at a map of our footprint, you would see there are customers that are not served out there,” Nelson said. “We have customers in Minneapolis that want access.”

nesota-based Supervalu, the country’s second-largest grocery store chain and operator of Cub Foods, the dominant Twin Cities grocery chain. Some retail experts chalk up the aggressive expansion to the simple fact that it’s Wal-Mart and likes to be first. Just where Wal-Mart ranks in grocery sales market share isn’t clear. Wal-Mart places somewhere around No. 3 or No. 4 in the metro area, behind both Target and Cub Foods, according to 2010 data from IRI InfoScan published by Trade Dimensions, a service of the Nielsen Co. More recent numbers from Strategic Resources Group, which combines Wal-Mart with its Sam’s Clubs wholesale clubs, puts Wal-Mart at No. 2, with 26.3 percent market share in the metro area, just behind Supervalu at 26.9 percent. By this count, Target has 16.2 percent market share. Counting stores is easier. WalMart has about 20 stores in the metro area now, at least 16 with full grocery departments. That’s less than half of Target, which has 53 stores, 23 of them with groceries. It’s also fewer than Supervalu Inc., which has 39 Cub Foods stores (excluding franchises) and Roundy’s Supermarkets Inc., which has 32 Rainbow Food Stores, according to Nielsen. Retail analysts agree WalMart’s expansion will steal market share from nearly everyone, but will hit discount supermarkets and grocers the hardest. Flickinger predicts something of a blood bath. Brennan said he doesn’t expect any grocery chains to fold, but said individual stores may close. Executives at Target and Cub Foods wouldn’t discuss WalMart’s local expansion. In in-

A push in Minnesota also gives Wal-Mart a second punch against another top rival — Min-

terviews, they insisted they will thrive because they have differentiated themselves. Keith Wyche, president of Cub, said it will keep shoppers in part because its stores carry a lot more items, including local favorites such Old Dutch, Land O’ Lakes and Old Home. Cub also tops Wal-Mart in its focus on fresh offerings in its produce, meat, bakery and deli departments, he said. “We’ve kind of been the bestkept secret in those things,” Wyche said. Kathee Tesija, Target’s executive vice president of merchandising, said she isn’t worried about customers defecting because Target is religious about connecting with its customers and delivers clean, well-organized stores. “I think the store experience is really a superior one,” Tesija said. Several of the new Walmart stores appear to be the 150,000square-foot supercenter variety

Customers shop at the newly remodeled Walmart in Eagan, Minn., in December 2009. Minnesota, where Target has 74 stores, the bulk of them in the metro area, has always been one of the most profitable regions for the Minneapolis-based retailer. But Wal-Mart envisions a market opportunity.

S D 2011 Buick Regal: From Detroit’s past, now looking to the future By Warren Brown

The 2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo compact family sedan is stunningly attractive. Fit and finish, inside and out, are top-class, rivaling Audi and Volkswagen.

Special to The Washington Post

I remember hamburgers. I ate many of them back when appetite outran personal health, when banks meant “trust,” when Buick meant something in the United States. Now, for me, hamburgers are a distant memory. The recent bad behavior of too many banks has eroded my trust in them. Buick is the star of the road in China. But it’s struggling to regain relevance in the R E V I E W United States. At least in the case of Buick, the “middle-class” division of General Motors, there is something to smile about. Since 2007, with the introduction of the well-executed, well-received Buick Enclave crossover utility vehicle, Buick has been providing tangible evidence of a will to survive … and thrive. The Enclave has been joined by wellconceived versions of the Buick Lucerne and LaCrosse sedans and now by the subject of this week’s column, the Buick Regal, an entry-level Buick that isn’t “entry-level” at all. That means it isn’t “entry-level” in the 1970s-90s way that GM once turned out cars for people who built things, taught children and sold tools and other things for a living. American Buicks of that generation seemed designed with more disdain than respect for the middle class. They were tacky — shrunken, poorly built, ill-conceived versions of the Buick Electra, Invicta and Skylark models of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Many of us felt betrayed. We turned away from Buick toward cars from Japan and Germany. Buick didn’t go away. Embarrassed by its failure at home, it re-established itself overseas, in China, where emerging middle-class and upper-income markets demanded that their cars have perfect fit and finish, excellent design, fuel economy good enough for buyers in a nation hard pressed to find oil, and the kind of reliability that is needed in a

General Motors via The Washington Post

2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo Base price: $28,745 As tested: $29,495 Type: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive, compact family sedan with four side doors and a traditional notchback trunk. Engine: Standard 2-liter, 16-valve, direct-injection in-line four-cylinder engine (220 horsepower, 258 foot-pounds of torque) mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual transmission is optional on the CXL Turbo. Mileage: Averaged 27 mpg in mostly highway travel. country of frequently rough roads and too few certified technicians. Buick, the original import from Detroit, complied with those demands. In doing so, it appears to have learned how to build proper Buicks for America. The new Buick Regal CXL Turbo sedan, driven for this week’s column, is a case in point. It is stunningly attractive to look at. Fit and finish, inside and out, are top of class — even rivaling Audi and Volkswagen, the longtime masters of classy interiors. Every amenity and feature available in substantially more expensive automobiles is offered, often as standard equipment. Self-avowed automobile “enthusi-

asts” tend to hold themselves above the millions of consumers whose purchase of everyday cars make their “enthusiasm” possible. They seem not to understand that most companies making exotic or driver-centric cars can do so only if they have ample income from the production and sale of mass-market automobiles. It is why Volkswagen owns Audi, why Toyota can afford Lexus. Our “enthusiast” friends spend much time and energy — and the pun here is intended — talking about 0-to-60 times and handling as if we all drive on racetracks or need cars capable of doing so. Automobile advertising in car-buff

magazines and TV commercials too often follows the “enthusiast” lead. The truth is, we drive on roads that are often congested, dangerous and heavily patrolled by law enforcement officials wearing badges that easily trump any badge on a car. In that environment, the new Buick Regal CXL Turbo fits in nicely. We drove it hundreds of miles throughout Virginia and the Northeast in weather fair and foul. Its turbocharged 2-liter, direct-injection, in-line four-cylinder engine (220 horsepower, 258 foot-pounds of torque) was more than enough to handle highway traffic. It handled dicey driving — motorists passing from the right, stomping on their brakes and then dashing back into the right lane from whence they came — with aplomb. Wet-road braking, assisted by front and rear ventilated disc brakes, was excellent. I don’t know whether Buick has come back, not any more than I am convinced I have completely abandoned my bad eating habits. I do know that the evidence shows that Buick is really trying.

Window defroster generally easy to fix By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

I just noticed my rear window defroster has a big gap in the middle that doesn’t defrost. It’s about 2 inches tall. I was told the window needs to be replaced to fix this, and it’s really expensive. Is there a way to fix it? Yes, you should be able to fix the defroster, and at low cost. The inside surface of your rear window contains a delicate network of conductive stripes that have been silk-screened then baked onto the glass. A conductor on one side of the window receives voltage, and another on the other side is connected to the vehicle body. Each stripe bridges between the two conductors and acts as an electrical resistor, giving off heat as electric current passes through it. Rear window defroster stripes are easily damaged by people, pets or cargo. Sometimes the entire window can fail to be heated if the fragile wire connections break away from the window conductors. That is more difficult to fix. The first step in repairing bad stripes is to identify specifically which ones are faulty. During a frosty morning, look closely and note which stripes are inoperative. If you can’t tell, an inexpensive automotive test light will be needed to find the exact spot to repair. Next, pick up a defroster repair kit from an auto parts store, along with a test light, if needed. Clip the test light’s alligator clip to a bare metal vehicle part, such as a door or hatch latch striker. Now, with the ignition key turned to run/on, and the defroster switch on, gently touch a good stripe with the test light’s pointy tip, about in the center of the window. You’ll find the light glows dimly, which is a good thing, as that stripe is dropping voltage progressively across its length. Now you’re ready to go after the other stripes, and you’ll see the difference. Touch the test light gently to each suspect stripe, in various spots across its length. You’ll find the light glows brightly or not at all, depending on which side of the injury you touch. Keep probing until you find the exact spot where the light brightens or dims, and that’s the place to fix. To make the repair, you’ll apply masking tape to each side of the stripe and apply the repair product, which resembles thick paint, to the injured area. Follow the kit instructions regarding specific application method, cure time and tape removal, and you should be back in business.

If JANUVIA is right for you, start today with a free 30-day trial supply.* JANUVIA works to lower blood sugar in 2 ways. Talk to your doctor about JANUVIA today. Increases Insulin

Decreases Sugar Made In Liver

• JANUVIA is a once-daily prescription pill that helps your body increase the insulin made in your pancreas and decrease the sugar made in your liver. • Along with diet and exercise, JANUVIA helps lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. • JANUVIA is not likely to cause weight gain or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

JANUVIA (jah-NEW-vee-ah) should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). If you have had pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), it is not known if you have a higher chance of getting it while taking JANUVIA. Selected Risk Information About JANUVIA: Serious side effects can happen in people who take JANUVIA, including pancreatitis, which may be severe and lead to death. Before you start taking JANUVIA, tell your doctor if you’ve ever had pancreatitis. Stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back. The pain may happen with or without vomiting. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis. Do not take JANUVIA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including sitagliptin. Symptoms of serious allergic reactions to JANUVIA, including rash, hives, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat that may cause difficulty breathing or swallowing, can occur. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away. If you take JANUVIA with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as a sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of getting low blood sugar is higher. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine or insulin may need to be lowered while you use JANUVIA. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, hunger, fast heart beat, sweating, and feeling jittery. Your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment with JANUVIA to see how well your kidneys are working. Based on these results, your doctor may change your dose of JANUVIA. The most common side effects of JANUVIA are upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache. Call 1-888-JANUVIA or visit Januvia.com.

for true terror (just ask Nathan Fillion—see page 9). AMC scored a big hit in 2010 with the first season of this series, which pits a ragtag band of survivors against a growing army of lost souls. There are chills aplenty (and some graphic violence), but it’s surprisingly poignant as well.

In 1941, Yankee great Joe DiMaggio set a record that no other ballplayer has ever come close to breaking: a 56-game-long hitting streak. In this propulsive account of that inspiring summer, the author (a Sports Illustrated senior editor) provides insight into why DiMaggio’s feat has proved impossible to repeat. Along the way, he re-creates the era when a quiet man with a mighty bat gave a nation teetering on the brink of war the hero it needed.

THE WALKING DEAD: SEASON ONE ($40)

Ken Turns 50

uess who’s about to get his AARP card in the mail! The perpetually smooth-

chested, all-American boy wonder Ken (né Ken Carson) hit the big 5-0 on March 11. But don’t expect to catch him on the golden oldies circuit just yet—he’s egf far too busy with his own Bachelor-esque reality TV show, Hulu’s Genuine Ken: The Search for the Great American Boyfriend, a Facebook page, and even a Twitter account. And he’s won Barbie back after a seven-year breakup. The couple officially reunited on Valentine’s Day with this message to the world: “We may be plastic, but our love is real.” Born in 1961 (two years after Barbie), the original Ken was a skinny teen in red swim trunks, sporting a crewcut and underdeveloped pecs and selling for $3.50. Since then, he’s had his share of fashion ups and downs. Among the least attractive models was the ’70s-era hippieesque Now Look Ken, which had him rocking shoulder-length hair. We’re guessing the latest version will be a crowd-pleaser, though. Mattel has just introduced Sweet Talkin’ Ken, with a built-in microphone to record up to five seconds of, well, whatever you whisper in his ear. Who knows what the next 50 years will bring?

is proud to be a geek. When he’s not filming ABC’s mystery-comedy Castle, he can often be found viewing a loop of sci-fi and action movies (Avatar, the Star Trek franchise) in his trailer. “I’ve watched them a million times,” says the 39-yearold native of Edmonton, Canada, who has played the evil Caleb on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and a

space captain in the series Firefly and its movie spin-off, Serenity. Kate Meyers caught up with him back on planet Earth. PARADE Let’s hear a few more of

your geek credentials. I have a trophy case that contains all the action figures ever made of me. It also has items I’ve stolen from my movies, like guns and holsters from Serenity. And a steampunk lightsaber [the Star Wars weapon, built

as it might have been in the 19th century] that somebody made me. I hear you have a man cave as well. Yes, it has a big ol’ TV and one of

those gadgets that let you press a button and watch in 3-D with the glasses on. It’s also got an Xbox; I’m a Halo: Reach guy. And artists I’ve met at sci-fi

conventions have sent me some beautiful posters from stuff I’ve done. I’m better-looking in them than I really am, so those are good to have. What do you watch on TV? My dinner spot is usually in front of the TV. I’ll grill a steak and whip up a salad and watch Hoarders. I love it because a) I’m kind of voyeuristic, and b) every time I see an episode, I go to the one room where all my unpacked boxes wound up, and I throw out a box of stuff.

What’s fun about playing Rick on Castle? How much he gets away with. He’s kind of goofy, but he thinks he’s cool. I like playing that kind of ignorance-is-bliss, devil-may-care guy.

How do you spend your Sundays? I love hiking in the hills not far from my house. I’m invested in my hikes. Sometimes kids go up there and spray-paint over the signs; I’ve found a biodegradable paint cleaner, and I’ll scrub the signs so they’re nice and clean. And if my girlfriend and I get up early enough, we’ll go out to breakfast. I like toast and eggs, and I like them together. What was it like growing up with parents who taught English? You know how people like to laugh at Canadians saying “eh” all the time? Well, we were not allowed to say “eh” in my house. Next on the list were double negatives, then split infinitives. Something that drives me nuts to this day

is people ending sentences with prepositions. Your grandmother gave you an Indiana Jones hat when you were a kid—what did that mean to you? We were in Fall River, south of Boston, where my father’s family is from, and my parents sent some of us to see this movie. The name, Raiders of the Lost Ark, didn’t make much sense to me, but the movie was so cool, and I thought, “All I need is a hat and a whip and my life will be an adventure.” I realize now that I loved the character because we were in an era of heroes who could do anything; there was just no challenge, and they’d always have a smug line. Whereas Indiana Jones was a guy who was barely holding it together, who

was getting beat up all the time, but he never quit. And Harrison Ford—if I steal from any actor, it’s him. Somebody told me long ago that in acting, it’s okay to steal, just steal from the best. What are you reading now? A novel I’ve already read three times, World War Z, by Max Brooks. It’s an oral B history of a 10-year zomhi bie infection 10 years after it happened. It’s terrifying. What’s your idea of the perfect vacation? Tropical. I can sit with a book, go for a swim. I recently got back from one where I stayed in a bungalow over the water. My theory is if there’s going to be a zombie attack, an over-water bungalow is a great place to be.

SALES EXECUTIVE Scranton sales exec Ross McArthur works from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, making calls and meeting with clients for auto marketing company Net Driven. He may not work with paper, but he thinks his office life is remarkably similar to Jim Halpert’s. “Sales is sales,” McArthur says. “We just don’t have Steve Carell cracking jokes all the time. And I don’t have an archnemesis like Dwight.” ROSS McARTHUR, 26 SALES EXEC FOR NET DRIVEN SCRANTON, PA.

CHOIR DIRECTOR Glee may be winning TV awards, but real-life Lima, Ohio, choir director or Stephen Popa hasn’t noticed any change in his group’s popularity. “When the show came on the air, we e all thought, ‘Great! This is going to gett some mileage for the choir,’ ” he says. s. “No. We get the same attendance at our concerts. We get the same sort off commentary when other people listen n to us as we always did. The dialogue hasn’t changed much.” Even so, Popa a struggles just like Matthew Morrison’s ’s Glee character, Mr. Schuester. “The frustrations of a music teacher are the e same ones any teacher has. We just have the added pressure of public performances and one shot to make an impression. And you u don’t do that in many ny classes.” STEPHEN POPA, 41 CHOIR DIRECTOR LIMA, OHIO

t’s a confusing time to be at work, and not just because of the economy. People are letting it all hang out on the job (see teary House Speaker John Boehner). By knowing your colleagues’ emotional styles, you can increase your effectiveness and, maybe, your salary. In my new book, It’s Always Personal, I surveyed working Americans and found four types: Solvers, Accepters, Believers, and Spouters. Solvers earned the most, $80,000, versus $65,674 for Accepters, $62,738 for Believers, and $59,253 for Spouters. Read about the types (and see their Office avatars, below), then take a quiz at Parade.com/office to learn yours. —Anne Kreamer SOLVERS PROS: Generally

content; decisive; work best under stress. CONS: Seen as aloof; may shut down discussions before others feel heard. ACCEPTERS PROS: Diplomatic;

detail-oriented. CONS: Keep their

emotions under wraps; feel unappreciated; pessimistic. BELIEVERS PROS: Satisfied with

their lives; find meaning in larger forces (like faith). CONS: Cautious; awkward about expressing emotions. SPOUTERS PROS: Charismatic;

exciting; tolerant of tears and other emotional displays. CONS: Anxious; bad listeners; blame others when things go wrong.
