City’s fines could cost you more Bend is set to raise long-unchanged penalties like pet and noise citations By Nick Grube The Bulletin

Drinking while floating the Deschutes River, failing to license your dog and numerous other infractions would become a little more costly if the city

DES MOINES, Iowa — The ailing economy and the tea party’s demand for smaller government have dominated Republican politics for two years, but a resurgent social conservative movement is shaping the first stage of the presidential nominating contest, complicating the strategy for any candidate who prefers to focus on fiscal issues over faith. Here in Iowa, whose caucuses next winter will open the campaign, social and religious conservatives are pressing the likely candidates on issues like samesex marriage and abortion, overshadowing jobs, the budget deficit and other economic concerns that leaders of both parties expect to dominate the general election. More broadly, some Republicans say, it could muddle the party’s message as it seeks to defeat President Barack Obama. “We look like Camp Christian out here,” said Doug Gross, a Republican activist and former nominee for governor. “If Iowa becomes some extraneous right-wing outpost, you have to question whether it is going to be a good place to vet your presidential candidates.” While social conservatives have long wielded a greater influence in Iowa than in many early-voting states, a bitter fight here over gay marriage and rivalries among some of the state’s conservative leaders have amplified the issues and might help define the message of GOP candidates in ways that could resonate nationally.

Neither did replacing a 924-square-foot house with a 3,500square-foot one and a 626-square-foot art studio or, on a separate property, carving a road over a rimrock cliff, down a canyon and up the other side. The owners of these properties had signed up for the state Wildlife Habitat Conservation Management Program, which provides a significant tax break for people who maintain and improve

habitat on their land. But when Larry Pecenka, a habitat biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, began inspecting participating properties several years ago, he found that roughly a third of the landowners were violating the contracts to which they had agreed. “That kind of gave us a heads up. ... Some of these landowners had objectives, but it’s not the same as the program’s objectives,” Pecenka said. While officials and beneficiaries say the program helps wildlife and property owners alike, oversight has

proved difficult. Biologists who inspect properties and approve plans have barely enough time and resources to ensure that everyone plays by the rules. For that reason, they’d like to keep the program from growing. Deschutes County, nonetheless, recently expanded eligibility for the program and for the tax breaks it brings. Those who haven’t played by the rules, meanwhile, have been kicked out of the program and been required to reimburse the county for thousands of dollars of lost tax revenue. Although such abuse has been frustrating, says Pecenka, most of the program’s participants joined because they care about their land, and the conservation program helps preserve habitat as development expands in Deschutes County.

The program: ‘Not a freebie’ The Legislature established the Wildlife Habitat Conservation Management Program in 1997, and Deschutes County decided to participate the following year. Taxpayers are eligible if they have property that is zoned for exclusive farm use and offers some significant habitat values, including wetlands, old-growth juniper and rimrock. The landowners, with the help of a biologist, draw up individual plans that outline what is needed — and what will be prohibited — on the property. See Wildlife / A5

Airstrikes pave way for rebel retaking of 1 city By Lolita C. Baldor The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A barrage of U.S.-led airstrikes opened the door for Libyan rebels to retake the eastern city of Ajdabiya Saturday, handing President Barack Obama a tangible example of progress as he defends the military action to war-weary Americans. The administration has been under pressure to clarify what America’s continuing role will be as it begins to turn control of the week-old operation over to NATO. Obama cited “significant success” in the war Saturday, and he and others defended the U.S. intervention as lawful and critical to save thousands of lives and stabilize a strategically vital region in the Middle East. Their hold on the east secure again, the rebels promised to resume their march westward that had been reversed by Moammar Gadhafi’s overwhelming firepower. But even after a week of U.S.led airstrikes, Pentagon officials say that forces loyal to Gadhafi are a potent threat to civilians. And they are looking at plans to expand the firepower and airborne surveillance systems in the military campaign, including using the Air Force’s AC-130 gunship armed with cannons that shoot from the side doors, as well as helicopters and drones. Obama, who will speak to the nation Monday evening, has been roundly criticized by lawmakers for not seeking more congressional input on the war.

Syria and Jordan pose yet another test for U.S. A N A LY S I S By Mark Landler New York Times News Service

WASHINGTON — Even as the Obama administration tries to explain and defend the NATO-led air war in Libya, the latest violent clashes in Jordan and Syria are raising new alarm among U.S. officials who view those countries, in the heartland of the Arab world, as far more vital to Western interests. Deepening chaos in Syria, in particular, could dash any remaining hopes for a Middle East peace agreement, several analysts said. It could also alter the U.S. rivalry with Iran for influence in the region and pose challenges for the United States’ greatest ally in the region, Israel. In interviews, administration officials said they were trying to gauge the seriousness of the latest Syrian uprising, though they have confirmed that the protests have been widespread, involving different ethnic groups in both the southern and coastal regions of Syria. The new U.S. ambassador in Damascus, Robert Ford, has been quietly reaching out to President Bashar Assad to urge him to stop firing on his people. As U.S. officials confront the sudden upheaval in Syria, they say they are pulled between fears that the country’s problems could destabilize neighboring states like Lebanon and Israel, and the hope that it could seriously weaken one of Iran’s key allies. The Syrian unrest continued on Saturday, with government troops reported to have killed more protesters. With 61 people confirmed killed by security forces, the country’s status as an island of stability amid the Middle East storm seemed irretrievably lost. In an apparent effort to quell anger a day after a deadly crackdown on protesters, Assad released hundreds of political prisoners Saturday and pulled back security forces from a southwestern city where Syria’s burgeoning unrest began. Assad’s government of minority Alawite Muslims blamed a major Sunni cleric in Qatar for inciting the unrest. For two years, the United States has tried to coax Da-

Muhammed Muheisen / The Associated Press

In Yemen’s capital, protesters again demanded the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh on Saturday. The White House has urged governments in Yemen, Syria and Bahrain to cease attacks on protesters, while saying the violence against protesters in those countries has not risen to the same level as in Libya, where U.S. forces are engaged in military action. Saleh on Saturday, a day after he said he was ready to yield power to “safe hands,” asserted that his departure was not imminent, leaving unclear when and under what terms he would agree to step down. Pictured, the Arabic on the boy’s headband reads, “ I am the coming president.” mascus into negotiating a peace deal with Israel and to moving away from Iran — a largely fruitless effort that has left the Obama administration open to criticism on Capitol Hill that it is cozying up to one of the most repressive governments in the Arab world.

Isolating Israel Officials fear the unrest there and in Jordan could leave Israel further isolated. The Israeli government was already rattled by the overthrow of Egypt’s leader, Hosni Mubarak, worrying that a new government might not be as committed to peace with Israel. While Israel has largely managed to avoid being drawn into the regional turmoil, last week’s bombing of a bus in Jerusalem, which killed one person and wounded 30, and increased rocket attacks from Gaza, has fanned fears that the militant group Hamas is trying to exploit the uncertainty. The unrest in Jordan, which has its own peace treaty with Israel, is also extremely worrying, a senior administration official said. The United States does not believe Jordan is close to a tipping point,

this official said. But the clashes, which left one person dead and more than 100 wounded, pose the gravest challenge yet to King Abdullah II, a close U.S. ally.

A Syrian no-fly zone? Syria, however, is the more urgent crisis — one that could pose a thorny dilemma for the administration if Assad carries out a crackdown like that of his father and predecessor, Hafez al-Assad, who ordered a bombardment in 1982 that killed at least 10,000 people in the northern city of Hama. Having intervened in Libya to prevent a wholesale slaughter in Benghazi, some analysts asked, how could the administration not do the same in Syria? Administration officials acknowledge the parallels to Moammar Gadhafi, though no one is yet talking about a no-fly zone over Syria. “Whatever credibility the government had, they shot it today — literally,” said a senior administration official about Syria, speaking on the condition that he not be named. In the process, this official said, Assad has also probably disqualified himself as a peace partner

for Israel. Assad has said that he wants to negotiate a peace agreement with Israel. But with his population up in arms, analysts said, he might actually have an incentive to pick a fight with its neighbor, if only to deflect attention from the festering problems at home. In a glimpse of the kinds of questions the administration will face over its Syria policy, some analysts said that the United States was so eager to use Syria to break the deadlock on Middle East peace negotiations that it had failed to push Assad harder on political reforms. “He’s given us nothing, even though we’ve engaged him on the peace process,” said Andrew Tabler, who lived in Syria for a decade and is now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “I’m not saying we should give up on peace talks with Israel, but we cannot base our strategy on that.” Lacking ties to the military, the United States does not have the leverage with Syria it had with Egypt. But Tabler said the administration could stiffen sanctions to press Assad to follow through with promised reforms.

KHARTOUM, Sudan — After weeks of scattered clashes that left hundreds dead, rebel militias in Sudan’s south have united in a new armed movement against the young southern government, raising the prospect of civil war even before South Sudan declares independence in July. “We have formed a new group. It is called the Southern Sudan Democratic Movement. We are calling the army the Southern Sudan Army,” said renegade general George Athor, who is heading the rebel command, speaking earlier this week by satellite phone from an undisclosed location. The new coalition formally brings together five different armed militias spanning four of South Sudan’s 10 states, said the rebel leader. The formation of the new rebel coalition confirms fears that the spreading patchwork of miniature insurgencies would coalesce under a single coordinated campaign against the southern military, posing an existential threat to the world’s newest nation before it even officially comes on the scene. The United States and other Western countries had pushed hard for South Sudan’s January referendum on independence to proceed as promised, hoping the nation’s partition would bring a final chapter to decades of war that has left South Sudan one of the least developed places in the world, with 2 million dead. Now it appears that the U.S.backed peace process may succeed in ending the south’s longstanding war against Sudan’s northern government, but in the process will spin off an extremely fragile state wrought with violent internal divisions of its own.

Radiation soars at nuclear plant The Associated Press

Geraldine Ferraro appears with her running mate, Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale, far left, on Aug. 1, 1984, in Jackson, Miss., where they kicked off their campaign together. “This candidacy is not just a symbol,” Ferraro said later. “It’s a breakthrough. It’s not just a statement, it’s a bond between women all over America.” Ferraro died Saturday at 75.

GERALDINE FERRARO 1935 – 2011

SENDAI, Japan — The radioactivity in water in one unit of a hobbled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan has tested 10 million times higher than normal, the plant’s operator said today. Leaked water in Unit 2 of the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant measured at 1,000 millisieverts per hour, Tokyo Electric Power Co. spokesman Takashi Kurita told reporters in Tokyo. That amount is 10 million times higher than the radioactivity level when the reac-

tor is operating normally and four times the government-set safety limit. Workers have been grappling with how to remove and store highly radioactive water pooling in four troubled units at the plant. The discovery of puddles with radiation levels 10,000 times the norm sparked a temporary evacuation of the plant Thursday. Two workers who stepped into the water were hospitalized with possible burns. The development set back fe-

verish efforts to start up a crucial cooling system knocked out in a massive March 11 earthquake and tsunami, but has helped experts get closer to determining the source of the dangerous leak. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano, speaking today on TV talk shows, said the radioactive water is “almost certainly” seeping from a reactor core. The protracted nuclear crisis has spurred concerns about the safety of food and water in Japan, which is a prime source of seafood

LONDON ROCKED BY PROTESTS OVER CUTBACKS

Leaving a legacy long after her VP bid By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

Geraldine Ferraro, who shattered political barriers as the first female major-party nominee on a presidential ticket when she was chosen as the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 1984, died Saturday at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where she was being treated for blood cancer. She was 75. Ferraro was a three-term congresswoman when Walter Mondale chose her as his running mate. Democrats were elated by the choice, seen as a landmark achievement in U.S. politics and as a possible way to derail the re-election hopes of President Ronald Reagan. Despite the historic nature of Ferraro’s candidacy, the Democratic ticket failed to inspire widespread support against the sheer weight of Reagan’s popularity. Campaign missteps — including allegations of financial impropriety on the part of Ferraro’s husband — contributed to an overwhelming loss for Mondale and Ferraro as Reagan swept 49 of 50 states. He won 525 of 538 electoral votes, the largest number in any presidential election in history, and claimed 59 percent of the popular vote, including 55 percent of the ballots cast by women.

Political trailblazer

A rocky campaign

Lefteris Pitarakis / The Associated Press

Tens of thousands of demonstrators whistled, chanted, drummed and marched their way through the heart of London on Saturday, confronting riot police to protest massive government spending cuts that threaten to leave almost no part of British society untouched. It was one of the biggest public demonstrations in Britain since 2003, when anti-war rallies were held across the country before the invasion of Iraq. Organizers said that as many as 250,000 people participated in the march.

The government, meanwhile, says the whopping $130 billion in cuts is necessary to tame a runaway budget deficit. The retrenchment is expected to result in a radical shake-up of bedrock social services such as welfare and health care, and in the elimination of nearly half a million public sector jobs. Indeed, analysts say the spending cuts could change the fabric of British society in a way not seen since the free-enterprise revolution of Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. — Los Angeles Times

DALLAS — Alaska Airlines and its Horizon Air affiliate canceled 152 flights Saturday because of a computer outage, affecting at least 12,000 customers, officials said. The presidents of both airlines said in a joint video on YouTube that the system used for flight planning failed, causing the cancellations. “A transformer blew, and that took down the central computer system for both Alaska and Horizon” that’s used to prepare flight plans, Alaska President Brad Tilden said during the two-minute statement released late in the afternoon. Company spokesman Paul McElroy said late Saturday night

that a total of 152 flight were canceled, representing about 18 percent of the airlines’ combined schedule. He said at least 12,000 customers were affected. Other flights were delayed, and customers had trouble getting flight-status updates on the airlines’ website because of the outage, McElroy said. He said the airlines were working on the problem and hoped to have operations back to normal by this morning. Both Tilden and Horizon President Glen Johnson apologized for the disruption. Johnson said stranded passengers would be rebooked on later planes or put on other airlines. The company said they will not be charged a flightchange fee.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A NATO airstrike targeting Taliban fighters Friday accidentally killed seven civilians, including three children, in the southern province of Helmand, one of the most insecure regions in the country, Afghan officials said. NATO officials are investigating the episode. It occurred in the Now Zad district when the NATO-led military forces called in an airstrike on two vehicles believed to be carrying a Taliban leader and his associates. A NATO team assessing the damage discovered the civilians after the airstrike. Civilian casualties have been one of the most contentious issues in Afghanistan, exacerbating tensions in the delicate relationship between international forces and President Hamid Karzai.

Detractors in her own party sometimes found her too willing to compromise or too willing to play pork-barrel politics to benefit her constituents, and her support for abortion rights proved controversial with Catholic leaders. More than 10,000 convention delegates and onlookers erupted in sustained applause when Ferraro was formally nominated on July 19, 1984. Not only was she the first woman nominated by a major party for national office, but she remains the only Italian American on a presidential ticket. “I went from being ‘Geraldine Who?’ in 1978 to being a national figure in 1984,” she said in 1992. “I don’t know anybody who’d done it as quickly as I have.” But she found herself caught in a campaign of not-so-veiled innuendo. The vice president’s wife, Barbara Bush, referred to Ferraro as “the $4 million — I can’t say it, but it rhymes with rich.” Barbara Bush later apologized and said the word she was searching for was “witch.” Ferraro launched campaigns for the U.S. Senate in 1992 and 1998 but lost both times in the Democratic primary. In 1996 and 1997, she was a co-host of CNN’s “Crossfire,” opposite Pat Buchanan and John Sununu, President George H.W. Bush’s former chief of staff, and she later occasionally appeared as a commentator on Fox News. In 1984, her nomination energized the party faithful at the Democratic National Convention, where Ferraro received an eight-minute ovation, and she proved to be a dynamic presence on the campaign trail, where she often drew larger, more enthusiastic crowds than Mondale. “My name is Geraldine Ferraro,” she declared at the convention. “I stand before you to proclaim tonight: America is the land where dreams can come true for all of us.”

New York Times News Service

Ferraro never again held elected office, but she left a lasting impact on the voting public and on future officeholders. When she made her vice presidential run, 24 women were serving in the House and Senate. Twentyseven years later, there are 91. And in 2008, Sarah Palin, a former governor of Alaska, became the second woman to be a vice presidential candidate for a major party when she was chosen by John McCain. Also, Hillary Clinton made a bid for the Democratic nomination in 2008, and a year earlier, Nancy Pelosi became the first woman to serve as speaker of the House. In a statement, Pelosi said Ferraro “inspired women across the country to reach their own greatness as they strengthened our country.” President Barack Obama praised Ferraro as “a trailblazer who broke down barriers for women, and Americans of all backgrounds and walks of life,” and he said of his own two daughters, “Sasha and Malia will grow up in a more equal America because of the life Geraldine Ferraro chose to live.” Palin often spoke of Ferraro on the campaign trail. “She broke one huge barrier and then went on to break many more,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page Sat-

urday. “May her example of hard work and dedication to America continue to inspire all women.” Ferraro’s rise was as sudden and surprising as her later fall from political grace. In 1978, after serving as an assistant prosecutor in the New York City borough of Queens, she was elected to Congress, campaigning under the slogan, “Finally, a tough Democrat.” Ferraro’s signature legislative victory in the 1980s was her sponsorship of the Economic Equity Act, which outlawed unequal treatment of women in workplace salaries and pensions. She failed, however, in her attempt to secure passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Boehner-Reid relationship could bridge budget dispute By Laura Litvan and James Rowley Bloomberg News

WASHINGTON — Prospects for settling the budget battle hinge in part on the fledgling relationship between House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. With the House and Senate about $50 billion apart on how much funding to cut this fiscal year, talks to reach an accord and avert a government shutdown are being conducted by the two lawmakers who until this year had few dealings with one another. Other congressional leaders say that along with the White House, it’s largely up to Boehner, an Ohio Republican, and Reid, a Nevada Democrat, to resolve the dispute. “They’re practical people, which helps,” said Jon Kyl, the Senate’s No. 2 Republican. “They’re both good at understanding what their limitations are, in terms of the people they represent.” The Republican-led House last month approved cutting government spending by $61 billion through Sept. 30, which would kill more than 100 programs and reduce hundreds more. The Democratic-led Senate has gone along with about $10 billion in cuts. An April 8 deadline, when current federal funding ends, looms over current negotiations for splitting the difference. And the talks’ outcome likely will affect prospects for future compromises, including an approaching Obama administration request for increasing the $14.3 trillion debt limit. Many lawmakers say Reid and Boehner are pragmatists who embrace the importance of Congress getting its work done. “It’s likely they will come to terms and cooperate because they

Fines Continued from A1 Penalties for Class B (lesser) infractions, such as public urination or having an animal at large, would jump from $250 to $400. Class C infractions, such as failing to clear snow or neglecting to license a dog, would cost people twice as much as they do now, rising from $100 to $200. Those amounts don’t include the state and county fees that are typically included on citations, meaning the true cost will be higher than the base level. Currently, a Class A citation is $658 with the fees, Class B infractions are $372, and Class C are $217. Municipal court judges can choose to reduce those fines. And because some additional charges are assessed on a sliding scale, it’s unclear how high maximum fines will go if the City Council adopts the new base levels. The council is expected to adopt the new penalty structure next month. If that happens, the increased fine levels would take effect in mid-May. Civil fines in cities throughout the state vary widely. In Hillsboro, the base fine for a violation is $250, and in Medford, those citations, including fees, can range from $145 to $250. In Corvallis, meanwhile, allowing an animal to roam at large can cost the owner about $50, but violent conduct can run up to $500. According to Bend Police Department records, 1,232 citations were issued from Jan. 1, 2010, to March 18 of this year for violations of city ordinances. Of those, 63 percent were related to dogs, most of which were either unlicensed or running loose. Only one person was cited under city code for discharging a weapon in city limits, the same number cited for drinking on the Deschutes River. But there were 48 citations written for drinking on unlicensed premises, which include public areas like Drake Park. The city’s code enforcement officer, James Goff, hasn’t issued nearly as many citations as the Bend Police Department. He has written up only one person since the beginning of the year. The person cited in that case, which Goff called a “three strikes and you’re out” situation, failed to clean up his trash. Goff said Bend’s fines aren’t out of line with other cities in the state. The city is neither the highest or lowest. “With code enforcement, over 99 percent of our cases are resolved with voluntary compliance,” Goff said. “Whether our fines are $1 million a day or $100 a day, we have a pretty decent community that once they’re contacted by the city, they’re going to work with us, plain and simple.” Nick Grube can be reached at 541-633-2160 or at ngrube@bendbulletin.com.

are both institutionalists,” said Rep. Rob Andrews, D-N.J. Before January, when Boehner became speaker, interaction between the two was “less than occasional” and came mostly in group meetings, said Boehner spokesman Kevin Smith. Now, they speak frequently by phone and have met directly three times.

With Congress on a weeklong recess, top aides for the two are conducting talks over differences that include the House’s bid to retain policy directives in a budget bill, such as banning funds for last year’s health care overhaul. Boehner and Reid, who both declined to be interviewed, have largely refrained from personal at-

tacks during the budget battle, often leaving it to lieutenants. In fact, Boehner turned to Democrats to help pass the second stopgap measure, which 54 Republicans opposed. He told reporters “it’s never been lost on me” that he will have to work for a bipartisan deal. Reid praised that approach, telling reporters he wanted to “hand

a bouquet to Speaker Boehner” for reaching out to Democrats. Although the two differ over the benefits of spending, there is common ground. Both have opened up the legislative process in their chambers. Boehner allowed hundreds of amendments to the measure cutting $61 billion, while Reid in January struck a “gentle-

Speaker of the House John Boehner, left, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid man’s agreement” that resulted in Senate Republicans getting more chances to alter bills.

Wildlife Continued from A1 “This isn’t a freebie. This isn’t a way to dodge taxes,” Pecenka said. “We’re for somebody who has a passion: ‘This is something we want to do with our property.’” Plans can include conditions such as limited grazing, restrictions on additional construction, the installation of bird boxes, allowing hay to stand uncut until mid-July (to provide bird-nesting habitat), even cutting down small junipers to leave water for other species, Pecenka said. “ODFW does not tell landowners what to do on their property,” Pecenka wrote in an e-mail. “We hold them to what they agreed to do on their property as indicated in the mutually agreed to WHCMP plan.” And agreeing to the plan gives landowners a property tax break that can amount to several thousand dollars a year. In 2010, Deschutes County property owners lowered their tax bills on 125 parcels by approximately $100 to $7,700, according to estimates released by the county Assessor’s Office.

Eligibility expanded In all, program participants in Deschutes County saved $250,000 in property taxes last year. Revenue dropped by an equivalent amount for the county and other government agencies, including schools and police departments. Those numbers could soon rise, thanks to the county commission’s decision Wednesday to expand eligibility for the program to property owners with forestzoned land. Previously, only those with land zoned for exclusive farm use could participate. However, it’s still up to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to decide whether to accept applications for the program. In Deschutes County, the state wildlife agency did not admit new people into the program between 2008 and 2009, Pecenka said. It admitted only one property last year and expects to admit only one this year. The slowdown is an attempt to catch up on monitoring and ensure that every property is checked at least once every four years.

Telltale signs When Pecenka shows up for an inspection, he can often tell immediately whether a landowner is doing what he or she should. Some people will be less than thrilled by his visit and ask if he actually needs to see their properties. Others will greet him with a three-ring binder, full of pictures of the deer and birds they’ve spotted in the backyard. Sherry and Kim Christoffersen, who own about 160 acres east of Bend off Highway 20, have snapshots of the wildflowers that have dotted their juniper and sagebrush landscape in the spring. The property was previously county land, Sherry Christoffersen said, and was littered with mattresses, stoves and all kinds of trash when they bought it. “Gosh, it was just horrible,” she

“It’s one of those labors of love.” — Kim Christoffersen, who lives east of Bend

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

A “guzzler” collects rainwater to provide a year-round source of water for wildlife on the Christoffersen property, off Highway 20. said. “And we’re still cleaning. There are still dumpsites.” But the two heard about the wildlife habitat program and, after spending about three months getting through the paperwork, put most of their property in the program in 2006. The tax break is “very nice,” she said, but setting aside acres is mostly a benefit for the animals displaced by Bend’s growth. “With the building for a while there, they were just stripping down (trees), and more houses were going up,” she said. “The animals were pushed further and further, and then we’d find cougars walking down the street.” Walking the property Friday morning, Kim Christoffersen startled a covey of quail as he pointed out areas where he cleared out small juniper trees — about 5,000 of them in all, he estimates. He picked up a scrap of old barbed wire, coiled it up and put it in his pocket. After joining the wildlife habitat program, he replaced the barbed wire fence with a smooth, more animal-friendly version. He also built a “guzzler” to provide a little source of water out on the High Desert. “It’s one of those labors of love,” he said.

The violations Not everyone takes plans to heart. Pecenka sent a letter to the local participants in 2009, stating that 18 landowners had been removed from the program because of noncompliance, while 10 more were “teetering on the brink” of expulsion. Some people build houses, garages, studios or other buildings in places that were not approved in plans, or they add unapproved fences. One person excavated wildlife habitat near rimrock while digging septic test pits and cut down large junipers to improve the views from homesites. That same landowner was supposed to plant 50 bitterbrush seedlings in each of three areas, but only a single seedling was there when the property was inspected. Another landowner’s agreement called for installing at least eight nesting or roosting structures for birds, but an inspection revealed just one, on its side, in

the branches of a juniper tree. The landowner was also grazing horses in a wetland, against plan rules, and had not completed beneficial things like adding wildflowers or sprucing up reptile habitat. Others let the noxious weeds run wild or didn’t cut down encroaching juniper as they said they would. Some violated the plan’s agreement on fencing — where it should be, and what kind is allowed. Once out of the program, landowners have to repay up to 10 years’ worth of wildlife tax breaks. In the past five years, the Department of Fish and Wildlife has asked the county to remove the tax deferrals from 33 tax accounts because the owners were not complying, voluntarily leaving the program or selling the property to people who were not interested in participating. The owners of most of the removed properties have paid those taxes, which range from $419 to $35,897, according to the Assessor’s Office. Michael and Peggy Jo Spedick are the only ones removed from the program who have not paid the back taxes. They owe $13,782. County Commissioner Tony DeBone acknowledged the state wildlife agency’s concerns that it might not have the resources to monitor additional properties. However, he said, the commissioners voted for the expansion in the hope that in the future the program will be limited to people who “really would want to do it.” At the same time commissioners expanded eligibility for the program, they committed to reviewing every two years the amount of taxes deferred and the impact on taxing districts. The county expanded the habitat program in response to a request from resident William Kuhn, who asked commissioners last fall to open the program for forest-zoned land, allowing him to participate, DeBone said. “He and his wife really do care for the environment,” DeBone said of Kuhn.

BERKELEY, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brad Seligman is a determined civil rights lawyer with a small office and a powerful idea for turning a single lawsuit into a nationwide class action claim against Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest employer. Armed with stories from several women who said they were passed over for promotions at Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Seligman is at the helm of what could be the largest job-discrimination case in U.S. history, affecting as many as 2 million women and putting at risk tens of billions of dollars of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money. This U.S. Supreme Court case, a decade in the making, has been described as the battle of Berkeley versus Bentonville, in which crusading liberal lawyers take on the conservative, male-dominated culture of the Arkansas-based retail giant. The courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling could be the most far-reaching decision on job bias in more than a decade, according to experts on both sides. A win for Seligmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clients could open the door for the broader use of statistics to prove job discrimination â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and not just on behalf of women, but also for minorities or persons with disabilities.

However, a win for Wal-Mart could deal a death blow to nationwide job-bias suits by ruling that employees who work in different stores and hold different jobs do not have enough in common to be a class. U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, in a dissent to a ruling for the workers last year, said the millionplus women who have worked at Wal-Mart â&#x20AC;&#x153;have little in common but their sex and this lawsuit.â&#x20AC;?

Pro ving discrimination But proving a single worker was a victim of illegal discrimination is slow, hard and costly. In its defense, the employer can often point to good reasons for promoting one person over another. In a class action, by contrast, the numbers can speak for themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they do so loudly. Given a computer and a court order, a statistician can paint a damning portrait of a company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To prove these cases, you rely on statistics. And now all the records are electronic. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there at a keystroke,â&#x20AC;? said Seligman, who works in a tiny office in the Berkeley marina with one other senior lawyer. A statistician hired by Selig-

man found that at Wal-Mart, women make up about two-thirds of the hourly employees but less than 14 percent of store managers. And in nearly every job category, women earned less than men, even though they had, on average, more seniority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women are treated as secondclass employees at Walmarts from Florida to Alaska,â&#x20AC;? Seligman said. But Wal-Martâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers sharply dispute the statistics cited by Seligman. They said there is no pay difference between men and women at 90 percent of stores. And decisions about who is hired or promoted are made locally, they said, not because of a companywide policy. Rather than rebut the statistics before a jury, the company has fought fiercely to defeat class action status for the suit before the case can go to trial. So far, Seligman has been winning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only before judges in San Francisco. In 2004, a federal district judge there ruled the suit could proceed as a class action. The often liberal-leaning 9th Circuit agreed by a 2-1 vote in 2007 and again in a 6-5 decision last April. But the more conservative U.S. Supreme Court, which has mostly frowned upon sprawling lawsuits against companies, will

hear Wal-Martâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal Tuesday. And legal experts said the homecourt advantage has shifted in the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s majority has been hostile to class actions,â&#x20AC;? Stanford Law professor Deborah Hensler said. For the first time in its history, however, the high court will have three women on the bench for a major sex discrimination case. They include Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who began her career as a womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights advocate.

Gear Continued from A1 In 2001, an Army Science Board study, noting that weight carried by soldiers could decrease mobility and increase fatigue and injury, recommended no soldier carry more than 50 pounds for any length of time. The Army chief of staff hoped to approach that goal by 2010. But the loads combat soldiers typically carry remain far above that goal. And that weight has helped fuel an avalanche of musculoskeletal injuries that are eroding the combat-readiness of the military. Long after the fighting ends, injuries such as Chroniger’s will remain a painful and expensive legacy of these wars. Others: • Nearly one-third of all medical evacuations from Iraq and Afghanistan from 2004 through 2007 resulted from musculoskeletal, connective-tissue or spinal injuries, according to a study led by a Johns Hopkins University researcher. That was more than double the number of evacuations from combat injures. • The number of soldiers medically retired from the Army with at least one musculoskeletal condition increased nearly tenfold from 2003 to 2009, according to Army statistics. • The heavy loads contribute to rising numbers of Afghanistan and Iraq war veterans retiring with degenerative arthritis, cervical strains and other musculoskeletal injuries. Disability benefits paid for these injuries by the Department of Veterans Affairs exceed $500 million annually. That figure is expected to grow as tens

of thousands of new veterans apply to the VA for compensation. For years, the Army only had an estimate of how much weight foot soldiers carried in combat. In 2003, Col. Charles Dean, a military-equipment expert, formed a seven-man team to conduct a detailed study of weight worn in the combat zones of eastern Afghanistan. “What we were proposing was highly irregular, and my chain of command had to pass this all the way to the generals to get approval,” Dean said. Dean, now retired, wanted his team to share an infantry soldiers’ life, packing the same loads and facing the same dangers. In Afghanistan, the team joined soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division. Their missions typically began with a helicopter ride, followed by multiday foot patrols. Before each mission, team members pulled out a digital scale and weighed weapons, ammunition, night-vision goggles, sleeping bags, eating utensils and every other item carried by soldiers, down to ID cards. The team stayed in Afghanistan for three months, collecting data from more than 750 soldiers with a range of different jobs. Dean said many soldiers had no idea how much weight they were carrying. “They were very interested in helping out,” Dean said. “If anybody could help ease the burden to them, that was great news.” When soldiers headed out on extended foot patrols, their average load ranged from 87 pounds to 127 pounds. When they came under attack and dropped their rucksacks, most of their fighting loads still exceeded 60 pounds.

Mark Harrison / The Seattle Times

Army Spc. Joseph Chroniger, diagnosed with bone spurs in his neck, has noticed some relief after acupuncture treatment with Dr. Shashi Kumar at an Army medical center in Tacoma, Wash. The Army isn’t alone in its struggle. A 2007 study by a Navy research advisory committee found Marines typically have loads from 97 to 135 pounds. The committee, citing information from the VA, stated that an increasing number of disabilities due to lower back problems were a “direct result” of carrying excessive loads for long periods. For foot soldiers, muscle and bone injuries always have been an occupational hazard. But piling too much weight on soldiers for prolonged periods can intensify the injury cycle, aggravating old muscle tears or cervical strains, and triggering new ones that never heal. Noncommissioned officers — seasoned leaders who often have shouldered loads through three or four tours in a combat zone — may be hard-hit by these injuries. But many of these leaders feel burdened by responsibility and are unwilling to cede their

place in a war zone to less experienced soldiers who may have fewer injuries. “I had a choice. But I couldn’t leave my squad behind just before they were being deployed,” said Staff Sgt. James Knower, a wiry, 155-pound soldier from Joint Base Lewis-McChord who served in Afghanistan for a year despite injuries to his arm and rotator cuff. Carrying loads in Afghanistan, Knower’s injuries worsened. On patrols through the Arghandab Valley in southern Afghanistan, his right arm often went numb. “Basically, it comes down to: If you want to do your job — and you take pride in what you do — you’ve just got to suck it up,” said Knower, 29. To help soldiers cope with the pain of musculoskeletal injuries, medical providers often prescribe opiates. “Primary care providers ... have had very limited tools in their toolbox. It’s medications for the most part, and maybe physical

THE BULLETIN • Sunday, March 27, 2011 A7 therapy, but very little to offer in addition to that,” said Col. Diane Flynn, chief of the department of pain management at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash. Through the war years, the use of these drugs has escalated. A 2010 Army report found 14 percent of soldiers had prescriptions for opiates. The Army also is concerned the availability of pain drugs through medics widens the potential for abuse. For some soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental wounds, the combination of chronic pain and opiates to treat their physical injuries can help push them deeper into despair. Since his return from Iraq, Chroniger has struggled with PTSD, which helped him gain an early discharge from the Army that goes into effect this week. But most days, Chroniger said his neck injury causes him the biggest problems. He has been prescribed an opiate, Percocet, which he can take up to three times a day. Yet it often fails to quell the pain. “The neck hurts so bad, sometimes you can’t concentrate on anything other than that,” Chroniger said. In recent years, the military has been searching for ways to improve treatment of musculoskeletal injuries. The Army has created teams of physical therapists and other

specialists to serve with infantry brigades in combat areas, and it stepped up screening for serious injuries at clinics. But some soldiers complain these injuries still may be discounted. The Army also is trying to reduce the use of opiates for pain. An Army report recommended the increased use of alternatives, including chiropractic care, massage, meditation and acupuncture. But the Army has few staff trained to offer these therapies, and military insurance does not pay for most of these alternative services from civilian providers. “That’s really one of the things that’s holding us back,” said Flynn, the Madigan doctor who directs the pain center. “We have such limited access to other than what we call traditional medicine.” The Army also has sought to prevent such injuries by improving the conditioning of soldiers. While training, soldiers may exercise or run with full body armor and other gear. But even the most physically fit platoon member will be prone to injuries when carrying 100 pounds of gear through a year of combat. So the Army continues to pursue an elusive goal: lightening the load.

GOP Continued from A1 The developments provide opportunities for candidates like Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who have a following among social conservatives, and it could make Iowa even more difficult territory for, among others, Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor. No events in Iowa have focused solely on the economy, job creation or even the health care law that is widely reviled in the GOP. Instead, the most prominent platforms for candidates to introduce themselves have been a number of forums before socially conservative audiences in Iowa. Several Republican prospects appeared here Saturday at the Conservative Principles Conference sponsored by Rep. Steve King of Iowa, one of the party’s firebrands in Congress, who argues that “culture, not the economy, is the most important thing” in choosing a nominee. All prospective contenders are trying to glean lessons from the 2008 Iowa caucuses, when former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas scored an unexpected victory, in part by winning over evangelical Christians. Four years ago, he was the only candidate to address a forum of Iowa pastors called Rediscovering God in America. But Gov. Haley Barbour of Mississippi and former Speaker Newt Gingrich were among those attending this year’s event. A balancing act has been on display all weekend. In an appearance before pastors Friday, which was closed to reporters, Barbour pledged to do “everything that we can to stop abortion.” He did not raise the subject when he addressed King’s conference on Saturday and urged Republicans to focus on the Obama administration. “It is absolutely critical that we elect a new president,” he said. A few minutes later, Gingrich signaled a different approach. He ranked values above the economy and national security in a threepoint priority list for voters. “Some people may say we should stay away from values, stay away from social issues.” Gingrich said. “I’m here to tell you that if you don’t start with values, if you don’t start by saying who we are as Americans, the rest of it

doesn’t matter.” For GOP candidates, social conservatives have the only established political structure in Iowa, with churches, home-schooling groups and a variety of competing organizations providing readymade lists of voters. There is no comparable network for fiscalminded or moderate Republicans. Yet many contenders could split the social conservative vote, opening a path to victory for more business-minded conservatives. “All candidates are going to have their fiscal credentials vetted,” said J. Ann Selzer, whose firm here conducts the Iowa Poll and other state and national public opinion surveys. Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who sought the Republican nomination in 2008 and is considering doing so again, is popular among many social conservatives. But his central focus is government spending, the national debt and foreign policy, all of which he said have rarely come up in conversations with Iowa voters. “I haven’t been asked too much about fiscal issues,” Paul said in an interview, after speaking to parents who home-school their children. “Focusing on only social issues will make a weaker candidate, not a stronger candidate.” The presidential caucuses, a series of party gatherings across the state, require more effort than a regular election and are traditionally dominated by party activists. But the campaign in Iowa is off to a slower start than four years ago. The Iowa Straw Poll, the political carnival in Ames that provides an early test of support, is only five months away, leaving little time for campaigns to build their organizations. That makes the existing network of social conservative groups even more important. Since the presidential campaign focused attention on the state four years ago, the political makeup has changed considerably. Obama not only won the Democratic caucuses, he also carried Iowa by 10 percentage points in the general election. But last fall, few states saw a more significant shift than Iowa, with Republicans winning the governor’s office, taking control of the Iowa House and nearly capturing the Senate. An infusion of newly elected Republicans, many of whom campaigned on tea party principles and strong social conservative messages, have changed the climate.

Canada sets vote for early May New York Times News Service OTTAWA — A day after an unprecedented no-confidence vote in the House of Commons brought down the Conservative minority government, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Saturday that Canadians would vote on May 2, the shortest possible campaign period under the country’s laws. Harper, a Conservative, spoke to reporters after visiting Governor General David Johnston to dissolve Parliament and to request an election. For months, the Con-

servatives, who did not control a majority of votes in Parliament, have been in pre-election mode. After announcing the date, Harper continued an aggressive tone. He repeatedly said the Liberal Party’s “hidden agenda” was a plan to form the next government through a formal coalition with the New Democratic Party, which is backed by organized labor, and the Bloc Quebecois, a party devoted to Quebec’s separation from Canada. Michael Ignatieff, the Liberal leader, denied the claim.

State Sen. Kent Sorenson of Indianola, Iowa, a leader among the newly elected conservative officials, said Iowa Republicans are looking for a candidate with solid conservative credentials and were not interested in a truce on social issues, as Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, another possible Republican candidate, has suggested. Sorenson signed on to the likely presidential exploratory bid of Bachmann, who he believes will

benefit from awakened social conservatives. As she met with voters in a four-day visit to Iowa, she urged them to look closely at the Republican options. “It can’t just be a Republican. Do you hear me? It can’t just be a Republican,” Bachmann said, urging Iowa conservatives to set the tone for the nation. “We need to have people who have guts, who you won’t see melt like wax when they get there.”

Union releases savings report By Lauren Dake The Bulletin

SALEM — Oregon’s largest public employee union is taking a new approach that underlines the state’s budget dilemma, which is how to save jobs and salaries while cutting costs. The Service Employees International Union, Local 503, which represents about 45,000 state workers, has always been part of the budget discussion. But this year, in light of the economic situation, the union asked members to find ways in which government could run more efficiently. About 1,600 offered suggestions, which researchers

The U.S. Labor Department is proposing changes to a program that allows temporary foreign workers to fill open positions in forestry and other labor-intensive work.

The H-2B program came under increased scrutiny in Oregon last year after a series of articles appeared in The Bulletin showing that nearly $13 million in federal stimulus funds went to forestry contractors that employed foreign workers.

American companies are allowed to use seasonal foreign workers for some industries like forest work and seafoodsorting through the H-2B visa program. To recruit foreign workers, companies must prove there aren’t unemployed U.S. citizens available to do the jobs. But The Bulletin’s review of the program prompted U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Springfield, and U.S.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., to contact the U.S. Labor Department, urging investigations on the issue. Now, changes are afoot. Elizabeth Alexander of the U.S. Labor Department said the main goal of the proposed changes is to increase recruitment of American workers and strengthen protection for all workers. See Labor / B3

SEIU’s recommendations come as state lawmakers are trying to eliminate a $3.5 billion budget shortfall and when public scrutiny across the U.S. is focused on unions. The report lists ways state lawmakers could save $1 billion, from reducing the number of managers in state agencies to letting tax credits expire. The proposal steers clear of potential concessions, including those related to pensions and health insurance benefits, which are being hashed out behind closed doors. See Report / B2

Deschutes County Sheriff’s Deputies Tom Wells and Jinnie Willard clear a table at Red Robin in Bend on Saturday while participating in a fundraising event for Special Olympics Oregon.

In cuffs for charity Deschutes deputies clear tables, beg for bail in fundraising effort for Special Olympics Oregon By Scott Hammers The Bulletin

er handcuffed hands in her lap, Lisa Griggs of the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office sat in the lobby of the Red Robin in Bend on Saturday afternoon, grinning gamely as patrons filled a jar with cash and checks. As the jar filled slowly — the sign balanced on her knees said she’d stay locked up until she raised $500 — Griggs bantered with customers, many of whom were amused or just puzzled by the sight of a uniformed officer in handcuffs. “How much to keep her locked up?”

joked a man waiting to be seated. “Did you get in trouble for stealing fries?” asked a wide-eyed young boy. Volunteers from the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and the Bend Police Department joined officers from around the state at all 17 Oregon Red Robin locations Saturday for “Tip-A-Cop,” a fundraiser for Special Olympics Oregon. Officers in uniform worked side by side with restaurant staff, filling drinks, clearing tables and even singing the Red Robin happy birthday song in exchange for donations from customers.

Washington Week Congress spent the week on recess as the federal budget stalemate drags on. Citing a ballooning federal deficit, Republicans are pushing to reduce the budget by $61 billion over previous levels in return for supporting bills to keep the federal government running through Sept. 30. Democrats have agreed to a series of smaller cuts to keep government running, but continue to resist, for example, the other party’s push to cut funding for abortion. They cite economists’ claims that cutting the economy now could stifle the country’s recovery, as opposed to waiting a year. Congress will resume this week, so stay tuned: The current “continuing resolution” that is keeping the government running expires April 8. — Nick Budnick, The Bulletin

Eisenhower told reporters in Paris that German defenses on the Western Front had been broken. In 1958, Nikita Khrushchev became Soviet premier in addition to First Secretary of the Communist Party. In 1961, nine black students from Tougaloo College in Mississippi staged a â&#x20AC;&#x153;read-inâ&#x20AC;? at the whites-only Jackson Municipal Library and were arrested. In 1964, Alaska was hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunamis that killed about 130 people.

Report Continued from B1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We intentionally didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening at our bargaining table in our report,â&#x20AC;? said Heather Conroy, executive director of SEIU Local 503. Conroy said so far the reaction of the report has been positive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generating a lot of discussion and talk about the state budget and alternative to those cuts, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing,â&#x20AC;? Conroy said. However, the viability of the options being presented remains to be seen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there was traction on one particular issue, I would have gotten calls,â&#x20AC;? Conroy said.

Bipartisan support The idea that appears to have the most bipartisan support is decreasing the manager-toworker ratio. SEIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report states there is one manager for every 5.7 workers in Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state government. The union said that number should gradually drop to a ratio of 1-to-7.7 by the end of the 2012 biennium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While this is not a solution to the organizational issues facing agencies, it will result in significant cost savings of $71,004,424 in General Fund dollars ... and quite likely actually increase service quality across state agencies with the removal of unnecessary and counterproductive layers of excessive management,â&#x20AC;? the report reads. Rep. Gene Whisnant, R-Sunriver, said this was a portion of the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal he was behind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The objective here is to make sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not oversupervising.â&#x20AC;? Whisnant said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s determined to make sure cuts being made at the lower levels coincide with managerial reductions. Whisnant is sponsoring a bill, HB 2020, that would put the manager-to-worker ratio under the microscope. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you cut, (we need to be) sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just cutting the lowest level that provide the services, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cutting equal numbers of management.â&#x20AC;? Whisnant declined to comment on the rest of the unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal, which also suggests ways to save money on prescription drugs. SEIU officials maintain if more agencies participated in the Oregon Prescription Drug Purchasing Program, which is a pool meant to lower drug costs, the state could save $16.9 million a biennium. Specifically, the SEIU analysis looked at the Department of Corrections and stated the department could save 8 percent on drug costs if it used the OPDP to buy prescription pills.

Shared client services, Medicaid fraud control The report also suggests Oregon could save $4 million over the next two years by including more agencies in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;shared client servicesâ&#x20AC;? program, which helps small agencies with payroll, accounting and budgeting. The union also points to agencies that add revenue, estimating that $8 million could be saved by adding four staffers to the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit at the Department of Justice. On the tax front, the union suggests allowing both the Oregon Business Energy Tax Credit, or BETC, and the Film Production Tax Credit to sunset. The report states the programs â&#x20AC;&#x153;spend money inefficientlyâ&#x20AC;? and cost Oregonians too much money.

Labor Continued from B1 “Particularly in an economy in which the national unemployment rate has consistently exceeded 9 percent over the past two years, the Department assumes that some group of these available jobs would be taken by U.S. workers but for adequate notification of their existence,” Alexander wrote in an e-mail. The proposed rule change would, among other things, require companies to spend more time recruiting American workers before turning to temporary foreign workers. Before, corporations self-attested — signing a form without providing other documentation — that they’d been unable to find local workers for the jobs. But documents that contractors filed with the U.S. Labor Department showed several forestry contractors with federal stimulus contracts often advertised those jobs for a short period of time in small newspapers outside Oregon.

More detailed reports In addition to extending the advertising period, the proposed rule change would create a national H-2B job registry to help American workers access jobs. It also would require employers to provide documents proving they’ve tried to hire Americans before using temporary foreign workers. Under the proposed rules, employers would continue to submit a recruitment report, but it would have to include information on each recruitment activity or source, the name and contact information for each U.S. worker who applied. The rules also would require an explanation for any decision not to hire a U.S. applicant. Employers would also have to keep track of newspaper ads they run and any proof that they got in touch with former American workers, labor organizations and bargaining groups.

Deputies Continued from B1 Project coordinator Laura Conard said the event causes some confusion, with some patrons finding it hard to believe she’s a “real sheriff” and not a restaurant employee who somehow got her hands on a sheriff’s uniform. Not all diners are equally excited to see an officer approaching their table, Conard said. “We do recognize some of our customers, but they’re generally pretty cordial about it,” she said. Conard said the restaurant had been busy and patrons generous for most of the day, putting them roughly on target to match last year’s haul of $9,000 in donations. Manager Simon Taylor said most of the officers on duty Saturday could probably make it as full-time members of the Red Robin crew if they’re interested in a career change. Seeing the officers smiling and joking with

Job contractors would no longer be eligible to use the H-2B program under the proposed rule changes. The rules define job contractors as those who employ workers and supply them to companies, but do not control their day-to-day work. “It is the Department’s view that a job contractor’s ongoing need is by its very nature permanent rather than temporary, and therefore the job contractor does not qualify to participate in the program,” Alexander wrote in an e-mail.

Restore states’ roll Other proposed changes include paying worker transportation, visa, border crossing and other government fees; providing tools, supplies and equipment to workers, and other worker rights provisions. It also would restore the states’ role in overseeing the program and the certification process, something that pleases Chuck Burley, a Bend-based lobbyist for the National Wildfire Suppression Association. “The state always had an H-2B coordinator that helped with the certification, and they were sort of taken out of the loop,” Burley said. “We wanted to see the state get back involved. ... That would be a positive step.” Burley said he was most interested in moving away from the self-attestation process. “I think probably the biggest thing is that we move away from self-attestation and more to a certification process,” he said. As to the national registry, Burley said it sounds like too much bureaucracy. “I guess we’ll wait to see what they’re proposing,” he said. The labor department will take comments from the public on the proposed rule changes until May 17. Then department officials will look at the comments, and draft and publish a final rule. Sheila G. Miller can be reached at 541-617-7831 or at smiller@bendbulletin.com.

customers is fun for everybody at the restaurant, he said. “So often you see law enforcement on your bumper, it’s more of a separation,” Taylor said. “Here, you get to talk to them and interact with them, which is great.” Faith Wiles said the “wicked observation skills” she’s honed as a detective with the Bend Police Department translate well to restaurant work, allowing her to spot empty drinks and patrons getting ready to leave from across the room. Still, the pace is hectic, and often she finds her herself racing to keep up with the Red Robin crew. “The people who really deserve props are the customers donating to Special Olympics, and the employees who let us come in and get in the way and take part of their tips for a good cause, and we really appreciate that,” Wiles said.

DOWNTOWN ASHLAND

City eyes homeless exclusion zone Officials seek to deal with repeat offenders by keeping them out The Associated Press ASHLAND — The Ashland City Council is considering an exclusion zone in the city’s downtown as an alternative to the growing list of citations and thousands of dollars in unpaid fines accumulated by the city’s homeless population. The police are frustrated that repeat citations for nuisance violations like urinating in public and sleeping on private property are ignored by the homeless, according to the Ashland Daily Tidings. Police Chief Terry Holderness said some homeless people who do find jobs must pay off thousands of dollars in fines from their paychecks before they collect any money, possibly contributing to long-term homelessness. “We have people who owe

thousands of dollars,” Holderness said. “Now it makes it difficult to get off the streets. We’re creating an impediment to people changing their lives.”

11 people, 195 tickets A chronic homeless population exists in Ashland, highlighted by 11 people who drew 195 violations in 2010. The same group of people, the ones with the most citations, racked up at least 25 violations and arrests in the first three months of this year. Holderness said those who refuse to pay fines were initially given “failure to appear” warrants when they missed court dates. The deterrent — a trip to jail in Medford — worked for a time, but Holderness said those cited by police learned to appear

in court, but still refused to pay fines. An exclusion zone would ban people with multiple violations from downtown, and allow police to arrest them for criminal trespassing if they return. The zones are already in effect in parts of Portland, Eugene and McMinnville. An exclusion zone wouldn’t be new to Ashland — they’re already in effect in parks — and Holderness said those who have been banned from the parks are eager to wait out their probation and return. The same, he said, could hold true in downtown Ashland, where he is urging the city to consider the exclusion zone. “If we catch you downtown, the first time you’ll be taken to Medford and probably released,” Holderness said. “The second

O B Roseburg split on spending ad funds

Vernonia man faces 26 sex abuse charges

ROSEBURG — The city government of Roseburg is split on how to spend the nearly $200,000 it receives annually in hotel and motel taxes. The Roseburg News-Review reported City Manager Eric Swanson wants to divert the money from a 10-year advertising effort to the development of a tourist attraction, such as waterfront projects. Swanson says after a decade and $5 million spent, he feels that “all we got is a logo” and notes some of the attractions marketed by the advertising effort are outside city limits. The Roseburg Chamber of Commerce, which oversees the advertising effort, contends that the money brings in needed tourism dollars. The chamber argued the $200,000 Swanson proposes pulling from its budget wouldn’t pay for a waterfront project by itself.

PORTLAND — A 62-yearold Vernonia man faces 26 counts of first-degree sex abuse after a 10-month investigation and a forensic examination of his computer. Richard S. Courtney was charged with sex abuse and three counts of using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct. Police say Courtney could also face federal charges. The victims are two members of Courtney’s extended family and the child of a neighbor. All were under the age of 12.

The Register-Guard newspaper says 35-year-old Jason Van Brumwell may now ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the death sentence he received for killing inmate David Polin. The Oregon high court ruled Friday. Brumwell was previously spared the death penalty in a Eugene murder case that initially landed him in state prison in 1996. The newspaper says Lane County jurors sentenced Brumwell to life in prison for his participation in the murder of a store clerk. — From wire reports

time, you might spend two days in jail. The next time, it could be a week or two in jail. There would very clearly be a negative consequence for repeat offenders.” People who are arrested for criminal trespassing can be jailed for up to six months and fined $2,000, although that would probably happen only to a repeat offender, Holderness said.

Homeless disagree The newspaper spoke with at least three men who said they were homeless and living in Ashland, but the men refused to give their names. They said the city’s downtown belongs to the public, and creating an exclusion zone would be unfair. The men said the city should seek to engage its homeless population in areas like litter collection or park maintenance, giving the population a stake in the community.

OR I ZONS

How to get to Bend in 1911 New Jersey officials 100 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 26, 1911 BIG RUSH IS ON The frost has nearly all gone out of the ground now and the homesteaders on the plains are preparing to put in their spring crops. Sagebrush is being cleared off by grubbing and burned, leaving the land in fine shape. The chief crop sowed this spring, owing to the newness of the soil, will be rye, though other grain and hardy vegetables will be tried. The extension of the time for establishing residence on a claim until May 15 is regarded with much favor by settlers, as it will allow them time to get timber from the forest reserve for building purposes, saving the long haul on lumber from Bend. The influx of home seekers the past few weeks has been the greatest ever known. The Millican Ranch Inn has been full every night, sometimes as many as 25 being registered. Mr. and Mrs. George Millican returned last week from Prineville with a load of supplies, and a large tent annex has been pitched near the house to accommodate travelers. Photographer J.A. Fallgatter, of Redmond, was working in this vicinity a few days ago. A. Pargon, of Portland, 1st Lieutenant in the U.S. Medical Corps, has taken up his residence in this valley. Mr. Pargon served in the Navy two years and in the Army five years. After finishing the Army medical course, he was sent to Panama, where he fought “yellow jack” for 14 months. Mrs. Thomas Gray and son, of Eugene, have joined Mr. Gray and will make their residence at Whitaker Holes. The dry riverbed is now full of water, a stream flowing from Pringle Flats nearly to Millican ranch, a distance of 30 miles, according to Walter Taylor, who was here Sunday night on his way to Bend. HOW TO GET HERE The wording of many inquiries daily being received show an uncertainty as to exactly how one gets to Bend from Portland. Briefly, the method of getting here is this: Take the “North Bank” train from the station at 11th and Hoyt Streets, Portland, at 9 a.m. At 12:33 noon, this transfers you at Fallbridge Station to the steamer Norma, which ferries you across the Columbia River to the Oregon Trunk Railway. In the evening, the train stops at an eating house for supper; at 7:30 p.m. you reach Metolius. For the present, it is best to get off at Madras, which is reached at 7:15 p.m. There automobiles will be found waiting to take you through to Bend, 50 miles south, either the evening of your arrival or the next morning. The fare from Portland to Madras is $6.10. Auto fare from Madras to Bend is $8.00, stage fare $5.00. Central Oregon is having fine dry, warm spring weather. Already the roads are dry and in splendid shape for automobiles.

75 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 26, 1936 DESCHUTES GORGE LINE TO BE ABANDONED SOON On March 28, two railroads, the Oregon Trunk and the Union Pacific, that more than a quarter of a century ago engaged in the greatest construction battle ever known in western America, at a cost of millions of dollars, will be using the same tracks all the way from the Columbia River to Bend, a distance of 147 miles. This is in compliance with an order approved by the interstate commerce commission. Only one open station, the Union Pacific station in Maupin, will be affected by the abandonment. However, Maupin will continue to be served, with the Oregon Trunk and the Union Pacific using the west-side station. Under the new arrangement, the trains will operate over the present track on the west side of the river between the Columbia and North Junction. At North Junction, the tracks swing across the Deschutes to the east side and start the climb along the east face of the canyon up to the Madras plateau. Abandonment of the 71 miles of Union Pacific track in the lower gorge and arrangements for joint operation over a single line between the Columbia and Bend ends another chapter of the Deschutes gorge railroads that started some 27 years ago when the Hill and Harriman systems battled for rights-of-way in the rugged canyon. Strategic

Y E S T E R D AY points along the gorge and on the plateau between Madras and Crooked River were tied up by rival crews of engineers, and small fortunes were paid for rights-ofway across farms in the gorge. Overnight, construction crews appeared in the gorge, and much of western America “looked on” while the two great companies fought for routes into the Bend country, with the Oregon Trunk announcing that California was its goal. Only recently, the dream of James J. Hill, “Empire Builder,” was realized when the Great Northern penetrated California, building south from Bend to a junction with the Southern Pacific at Chemult, then continuing on south from Klamath Falls to Bieber, Western Pacific junction. Not until the two lines reached Metolius, in southern Jefferson County, only a short distance from the Crooked River gorge, did the two lines get together. From Metolius, the Hill and Harriman systems continued on into Bend over a joint line, constructed by the Oregon Trunk. It is generally believed that the problem of bridging the Crooked River gorge, more than 300 feet deep, was responsible for this first move “to get together.” In more recent years, there has been partial abandonment of various stretches of trackage in the Deschutes country. One of the first pieces of lines abandoned was that between North Junction and Metolius. The Dalles-California highway passes through a breach in the abandoned grade a few hundred yards south of Madras. As presently contemplated, the abandonment of the 71 miles will not affect schedules into Bend.

50 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 26, 1961 PAUL HOSMER STEPPING DOWN AS EDITOR OF PINE ECHOES Bend’s “man of many facets,” writer, humorist, musician, nationally known photographer, naturalist and woodsman, is retiring. He is Paul Hosmer, editor of Pine Echoes, Brooks-Scanlon, Inc. publication, for the past 41 years. Actually, Hosmer will be only “half retired,” he noted today. He is to continue as associate editor. Hosmer, with his duties of Pine Echoes taken over by Joe Van Wormer, plans to devote more time to freelancing in the fields of photography and writing. And he reported today, he has already received his first assignment from a national publication. “I have devoted most of my life to the pine industry and now guess what?” Hosmer said, adding, “I’ve been asked to write an article about junipers.” Hosmer came to Bend in 1915 when the giants of the pine indus-

try at the time, The Shevlin-Hixon Company and Brooks-Scanlon, entered the Deschutes field. He came to Bend from Minnesota, where he was a newspaper man, and also a widely known amateur boxer. He entered the employe of the Shevlin-Hixon Company as a typist-stenographer, “in the era when lumber outfits preferred stenographers wore trousers and shaved at least once a day.” In World War I, Hosmer served overseas as a first sergeant with the Engineers. On his return from France, he entered the employ of Brooks-Scanlon, and took over the editorship of the Pine Echoes in the same era that Frank Prince was editor of the Shevlin Equalizer. The “feuds” between Prince and Hosmer won national attention in the lumber field. IMAGINE PAUL HOSMER IN RETIREMENT (EDITORIAL) They say Paul Hosmer is retiring. How absurd! Paul Hosmer of 1961 is a bit older and possibly a little slower than he was in 1915, and probably his fingers are not as nimble as they were 41 years ago, but Hosmer still packs a wallop on that old typewriter with which he turned out “Now We’re Logging” years ago, wrote Saturday Evening Post articles and prepared copy that won national attention. He also takes a pretty fair picture — just as good as the Hosmer photos that through the years found welcome space in national publications, and the far-famed “Flying Canoe at Devils Lake” that he set up for Life a few years back. There are some who will laugh when friends of Hosmer say he has been so “tied down” in producing “Pine Echoes” that his varied talents have been restricted. But consider that invitation from trade magazine editors holding a convention in New York a few years back: They invited Hosmer as their principal speaker. And they offered to pay his expenses, plus a fee of $1,000. But Hosmer didn’t make the trip. He was too busy with his work at home. Now Paul Hosmer, with his far-famed grin, his chuckle and his humor is retiring — so they say! Don’t believe a word of it. As long as there is a good picture to take, an article to write or a story to tell, Paul Hosmer of Pine Echoes fame will be on the job.

25 YEARS AGO For the week ending March 26, 1986 SOARING WARRIORS Phillip Pederson was one of some 1,300 glider pilots who landed near the German lines in the largest single-day airborne operation of World War II. It was the last big Allied push before Germany surrendered less than two months later, on May 8 — V-E Day. “Everything went just like clockwork,” remembers Pederson, a Bend native who retired from

the bakery business in October. On that day 41 years ago — March 24, 1945 — planes jammed the skies over Germany. The sky train, which flew out of bases in England and France, was so long it took more than three hours to pass a given point. The gliders were an impressive sight. With an 83-foot wingspan and a steel-and-fabric frame with a plywood floor, each plane could carry a payload of up to 3,750 pounds. On the way to Germany, the gliders flew in columns, towed by planes that were attached to the gliders by nylon ropes. As pilot of the 15-passenger craft, Pederson’s job was to keep the glider on an even keel while flying low above the ground. “All it amounted to was flying a large plane with no engines,” he says. Like other battles in which Pederson flew, the trek to Germany from Reims, France, was dangerous. “We received a lot of ground fire,” he remembers. “We could hear the pop, pop, pop of the guns.” Hearing the guns go off below is one of the bad memories Pederson has of the war. “I know how these people feel that are condemned on death row. That’s exactly what I thought about,” says the slight, soft-spoken man. But casualty rates in his outfit — the 438th Troop Carrier Group, 90th Squadron — were low. “It’s kind of fantastic that there wasn’t more of them killed or hurt,” he says. During the war, the gliders were considered expendable and crash landings were not unusual. But it wasn’t easy to crash without injuring passengers or the pilots. The gliders flew at speeds up to 120 mph before the tow lines were cut. In the invasion of Normandy the previous spring, for example, Pederson and his co-pilot plowed their glider into a hedge at 60 mph.

open fight against Grandparent Scam By Carol Lawrence McClatchy-Tribune News Service

HACKENSACK, N.J. — He said he was their grandson and he needed help. He had been hurt in an accident and needed cash to get out of jail, fix the car and hire a lawyer. Could they wire $2,800 immediately? Oh — and could they not tell Mom? It almost worked. Wayne, N.J., grandparents Jim and Dorothy, who received a call from someone telling that story one February morning, closely questioned the caller posing as their grandson, but he had ready answers, information and reasons for everything. He played on their emotions — their fear of betraying their grandson’s trust and a visceral instinct to help him. “I agreed to wire him the money,” Jim said. The caller ended the conversation by saying, “I love you, Grandpa and Grandma.” Jim, 81, and Dorothy, 82, went public with their story about what’s called the Grandparent Scam on Wednesday, holding hands as they spoke before 200 seniors and several state officials at the Home Sweet Home Adult Medical Day Care in Elizabeth, N.J. They appeared on condition their last name not be revealed. New Jersey Attorney General Paula T. Dow, with state consumer affairs officials, used their appearance to announce

the launch of a national antifraud education campaign, with a consumer advocacy group, against the Grandparent Scam. “It’s not just a Wayne story, and not just Jim and Dorothy’s story, but all of our stories,” Dow said. She called consumer scams “one of the most malicious crimes that exists in society now.” On the morning of Feb. 15, the con artist phoned Jim and Dorothy claiming to be their 18-year-old grandson. He told a well-crafted, convincing story that followed a similar pattern that consumer affairs officials and police have seen many times. “The grandson” said he’d been to a wedding in Canada, where their real grandson lives. He explained he didn’t sound like himself because his nose had been broken in the car crash. He needed money immediately, and his lawyer had only one office capable of receiving a wire transfer — in Madrid, Spain. He pleaded with them not to alert his mother because he had been jailed on a DUII charge. “They pretty much have the same script,” said Wayne Detective Dennis Ferray, who spoke with the couple after their grandson’s aunt persuaded them to talk to police before sending the money. “These guys are good; they get into your head.”

April 12, 1919 - March 24, 2011

Nov. 10, 1950 - March 24, 2011

April, 1940 - March, 2011

Mildred was born April 12, 1919, to Roy and Nora (Boyd) Brown in Metolius, Oregon. She was schooled at the old Red Rock school and graduated high school in Culver. The family lived in Portland for a short time where Roy Mildred Irene worked as a street car McClay conductor. Mildred married Taylor L. McClay in June of 1937, at her parent’s home in Culver. She and Taylor were married 60 years until his death in 1997.

Shortly after graduating with the Bend Union High School Class of 1939, he began his lifelong career in banking with the Bank of Bend. His banking career was interrupted in 1943 when he joined the Navy. He served on the aircraft carrier USS Solomons until shortly before his discharge in 1946. In 1945, he was married to Alice Rose Morrissey of Sheridan, Oregon and upon leaving the Navy, they made their home in Bend where Bruce went back to work with the Bank of Bend. Eventually the Bank of Bend was purchased by the US National Bank, and it was with this organization that he spent the remainder of his career. He later became a Vice President of the bank, as well as manager of the branch in Oregon City before retiring in the early 1980s. During his career, he was active in numerous service organizations such as the Elks Club, the Kiwanis Club, the Lions Club and several Chambers of Commerce. He served on the Board of Directors of Willamette Falls Hospital in Oregon City for many years and was twice the Chairman of the Board. Bruce had a passion for golf and was a regular at the local golf course wherever he lived. He was a member at Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby for many years where he played hundreds of rounds and at one time sported a 6 handicap. Bruce died on March 2, 2011. He is survived and deeply missed by his wife, Alice, of 65 years, his three children, Bonnie, Jim and Dick, his daughter-in-law, Linda and his two grandchildren, Alicia and Robert Bruce.

In 1963, Richard, Ann and son, William moved to Glen Dale, West Virginia, where he was a project Engineer for Allied Chemical Corporation. In 1967, Richard, Ann and sons, William and Bruce moved to Briarcliff Manor, New York, where he worked for a chemical consulting firm in New York City spending months in England starting up a chemical plant. In 1970, he was employed by the Nepera Chemical Corporation in Monroe, New York, as the Manufacturing Manager.

Scientists get cosmic view of sediment The Associated Press

Maureen Wierzbicki and her husband, Chris, from Bainbridge Island, take advantage of some spring weather for a picnic with their son Hank, 10 months, last week at Silverdale Waterfront Park in Silverdale, Wash.

Portland man sues jail The Associated Press PORTLAND — A Portland man says in a lawsuit that guards at a regional jail in The Dalles slammed him face-first into a concrete wall nearly two years ago, shattering his teeth and jaw. The federal civil rights lawsuit filed Thursday by 31-year-old Chadwick Yancey describes the Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facilities as a “$17 million torture chamber.” At a news conference, his lawyers passed out a video of the April 9, 2009, incident, captured

by a camera mounted in the jail. The administrator of the jail, Jim Weed, told The Oregonian newspaper he was aware of the tape and the lawsuit. The suit seeks unspecified punitive and economic damages. The videotape has no sound. The Oregonian reported that it shows Yancey with his hands cuffed behind his back, talking with a sergeant. They’re sitting at a table when a male officer grabs Yancey and — assisted by another male officer — swings him into a wall.

VANCOUVER — Scientists are using new photographs from space to help them study Columbia River sediment. An imaging system that uses a scanner aboard the International Space Station is exploring coastal regions from a viewpoint 200 miles above the Earth, according to the Columbian newspaper. The images contain more data and have a finer resolution, which will give scientists a much closer look at such complex coastal systems as estuaries, where rivers flow into oceans. That’s why the Columbia River is part of the demonstration phase for the project, said Curt Davis, an Oregon State University oceanographer and the project scientist. “It has been a good test location for us,” he added. His team has been working with a research center at Oregon Health & Science University that studies the Columbia River from Bonneville Dam to the coast. Columbia River water that flows into the Pacific — the river’s plume — contains suspended sediments, clays, phytoplankton, nutrients and dissolved organic material, Davis said. The Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean scanning system can gather and transmit the data required to get detailed information about that mix. “With all the information in HICO, we can sort it out,” he said. It will then be compared with analyses of water samples, Davis said. It can reveal near-shore eddies, currents and the influence of coastal streams entering the ocean. Imagery also will help scientists monitor events like oil spills.

Hoofing it in the highlands of Guatemala By Mark Sundeen New York Times News Service

Photos by Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

We walked into the village around dusk, but with the fog pouring down the dirt streets, it could have been anytime. It was cold, and I could hardly see across the concrete plaza. The Catholic church had been cleaved by an earthquake, the gap between its two halves now spanned with sheets of plywood, but that didn’t stop people from praying in the dank cavern on a floor littered with boughs of long green pine needles. Our accommodations were a municipal building, a cinder block structure around a courtyard with a fountain that didn’t work and an ash heap where skinny mutts gnawed leftovers. We were to sleep on the tile floor of a room with no furniture and a nonfunctioning light bulb hanging from a wire. I recognized the place from Hollywood thrillers: This was where the narco-cartel tortured its enemies. It was the first day of our three-day walk across the highlands from Quetzaltenango to Lake Atitlan. I was back in Guatemala, and pretty pleased about it. Later that night, in the yard of someone’s house, we crawled on our knees to enter a smoky sauna. Inside, a fire had been burning for an hour, and the temperature was well over 100.

Bob Roth has organized a group of 75 households from which he collects bottles and cans to raise money for the Humane Society of Redmond. Last year, Roth and about a dozen other volunteers collected and recycled more than 200,000 bottles and cans to help the nonprofit work toward paying off its debt.

THE BUSY LIFE OF

‘BOTTLE

BOY BOB’

Lucy the cocker spaniel is ready for action as Bob Roth attaches an American flag to his electric trike in Redmond.

Redmond man’s volunteer work has included leading recycling effort that raised $11,000 for Humane Society By Heidi Hagemeier • The Bulletin REDMOND —

uring warmer weather, Eagle Crest resident Beattie Stabeck regularly catches a glimpse of her neighbor zipping by the house.

It’s Bob Roth, 81, zooming by on his electric

trike at speeds up to 20 mph. Five-year-old cocker spaniel Lucy rides in a basket in the back, wearing pink swimming goggles and sometimes sharing space with aluminum cans Roth has collected from neighbors. Flapping from the basket is a sign: Lucy & ’Ole Geezer.

A man and his son fish on the docks of Lake Atitlan, in Panajachel, Guatemala.

“He’s a piece of work, isn’t he?” laughed Stabeck. He’s certainly not one to sit still. To Roth, when you stop moving, it’s because you’ve left this Earth.

SPOTLIGHT

“I honestly believe that to keep the mind active you keep the body active,” Roth said. The Redmond resident keeps a cooler in his vehicle stocked with Ziploc bags of dog food and apples, ready to hand to people he sees seeking help. He volunteers in a Redmond High School government class. Every trimester he buys each student a pocket-size version of the U.S. Constitution so students can read relevant passages during discussions. And he collects cans and bottles to donate to the Humane Society of Redmond, trying to help the organization pare down its debt. Last year, with a group of about a dozen volunteers, he helped raise roughly $11,000 for the Humane Society. “You’re probably going to think we’re nuts because it’s a nickel a can,” Roth said. “You calculate that and you come up with more than 200,000 bottles and cans,” he continued.

“That blows my mind.” Stabeck finds Roth’s enthusiasm worth emulating. “There are a lot of 81-yearold people who don’t do a darn thing,” she said. “They just complain about their aches and pains. Not Bob, never.”

Coming to Redmond Roth and his wife, Dorothy, moved to Redmond in 2004. The couple had already been retired for about 15 years, leaving the suburbs of New York, where Roth worked as a regional manager at Armstrong World Industries, a flooring company with 10,000 employees worldwide, for the hills of North Carolina. With children in California’s Bay Area, the Seattle area and Bend, the Roths later decided to move west. See Roth / C7

Marriage kaput but wife resists divorce Dear Abby: My wife of 16 years, “Barb,” and I argue constantly. We can’t seem to agree on anything, have few common interests and don’t enjoy our time together. Our love life is nonexistent. We have gone to three marriage counselors, and it hasn’t helped. We now “get along” by avoiding each other. I think it’s time we faced the fact that we’re never going to be happy together. When I bring this up with Barb, she gets angry and launches into the same old tirade, saying if I want a divorce I’ll have to get a lawyer. Divorce will be difficult and costly enough without having to drag lawyers into it. I’d like us to agree that it’s time to split and use a mediator to work out the details. It will save us a lot of money and, hopefully, make the divorce less acrimonious. I don’t understand why Barb wants to stay together when she’s so unhappy, and we’re unable to make things better. How can I make her see that separating — in as kind a way as possible — will be best for us and the kids? — “Former” Husband in Longmont, Colo. Dear “Former” Husband: Your wife may prefer the evils she’s living with to the unknown of being a divorcee with children. However, when a marriage is over — it’s over. And when it reaches the stage that yours has, what both parties need to be concerned about is preservation of assets, so they aren’t spent on attorney’s fees. I have seen both kinds of divorces — one in which the warring spouses spent so much money in litigation there was little left for each of them when it was over; and the other, in which the couple agreed their marriage was broken beyond repair and arranged their divorce with as little cost as possible. I don’t have to tell you which people are doing well now. So clip this and share it with your wife. Dear Abby: If no one answers the phone when my mother calls,

she shouts on the answering machine for my children (ages 18 and 12) to “pick up!” Then she’ll try my cellphone once or twice in quick succession before calling back on the house phone and leaving a cranky message. It’s never an emergency; she just wants to chat. I understand that Mom is frustrated, but sometimes we are resting, eating dinner or are otherwise indisposed. And yes, there are times when we’re not in the mood to talk. She lectures me constantly about how my husband and I are teaching our children to be disrespectful by ignoring her calls. (Their teachers and other adults regularly comment about how polite they are.) I see nothing wrong with letting a call go to voicemail if I can’t or don’t want to talk at that moment, and I always return Mom’s call. I also encourage my kids to call her, but she doesn’t make it easy when she begins a conversation with, “Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s rude not to answer the phone?” Do I owe her an apology, or does she need to be more patient? — “Please Leave a Message ...” Dear Please Leave a Message ...: Your mother apparently feels that her needs and wishes automatically take precedence over whatever else may be happening in your lives. You do not owe her any apologies, and yes, she does need to be more patient. But she won’t get that message until you are able to communicate it clearly and directly to her. You are no longer a child, and you should not be expected to drop everything anytime your mother wants to “chat.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

As the producer in charge of the long-running CBS hit “NCIS,” Shane Brennan is also the man responsible for the image of its beautiful tomboy assassin, the former Mossad agent Ziva David. “NCIS,” now the top-rated drama on television, is known for its comic banter, its constant movie references and the smoldering eyes of its star, Mark Harmon. Less remarked on is that while it’s a traditional crime procedural in a military setting — with all the violence that implies — and features three strong male characters, the main dispenser of that violence, the agent so lethal with gun, fist or foot that her partners gladly stand aside and let her do the dirty work, is a woman. Brennan acknowledges the visceral thrill to be had — on whatever level you care to have it — from watching a woman, rather than a man, pound heads or pump bullets. “We try to deliver that, but we try to be credible about it,” he said. “You’ll never see her leap in the air and do the splits, and kick two guys at the same time. Save that for the John Woo movie.” Shooting two guys at the same time is not a problem, though. Fans of the show recall fondly a short scene in Season 6, in the episode “Dead Reckoning,” when Ziva (played by the Chilean-born actress Cote de Pablo) spotted two suspicious men entering the government safe house where she was protecting a witness. Putting down the cellphone on which she was talking to headquarters, she pointed guns at each of the room’s two doors. A few seconds later, as the smoke cleared, she picked up

the phone: “Under control.” With her credible combination (by prime-time standards) of physical domination and quiet cool, David is one of the most appealing of a growing group of female action heroes who are infiltrating cop shows, spy shows, science-fiction shows and other genres where men once did the lion’s share of the enforcing. It’s not a new role — the prototypes go back at least 50 years, to Diana Rigg in “The Avengers,” and include the women in “Charlie’s Angels,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Alias.” It’s sufficiently established that shows based on tough women can fail in batches without killing the trend: In recent years “Bionic Woman,” “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” and “Dollhouse” have come and gone. What feels different now is the degree to which action women have become an unremarkable part of the television landscape. In some cases they’re the stars, on “Nikita,” “Chase,” “V,” “In Plain Sight,” “Covert Affairs,” “Rizzoli & Isles” and other current shows. But they also appear, often in more interesting, less predictable fashion, as ensemble or supporting characters. These are the women who absorb punishment and provide gee-whiz thrills so that other actors — usually but not always men — can be lighter, funnier and more “relatable,” and can focus on

Presley loves attention and is looking for a forever home to call his own. Since he still is very much the puppy, he will need a home that will provide training and socialization. If Presley looks like the happy pup for you, then come on down to the shelter and meet him today!

family or romance or bromance. In addition to David, they include Yvonne Strahovski’s Sarah on “Chuck,” Archie Panjabi’s Kalinda on “The Good Wife,” Anna Torv’s Olivia on “Fringe,” Gabrielle Anwar’s Fiona on “Burn Notice,” Robin Tunney’s Lisbon on “The Mentalist” and Candice Accola’s Caroline on “The Vampire Diaries.” (Grace Park’s Kono on “Hawaii Five-0” is more in the category of conventional eye candy, but both she and Daniel Dae Kim tend to play businesslike and heavy, while Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan try for laughs as the mismatched “Turner and Hooch” leads.) Plenty of reasons could be proposed for the proliferation of these characters, including the

overall softening of the action star following the 1980s heyday of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s cartoonish, ultra-macho film heroes. Craig Silverstein, who developed the new “Nikita” series for CW, recalled the original 1990 French film “La Femme Nikita” as a “cult antidote” to those excesses. This goes along with a desire on the part of many creators to cross up gender and racial stereotypes if it can be done without too much trouble, which can also be seen in the perhaps disproportionate number of television squad rooms and investigative teams led by African-Americans (almost always as secondary characters). The main impulse, though, is most likely economic: producers’ ever-growing realization that they need to appeal to female viewers — the decision makers when it comes to television viewing — in every kind of programming. “I think one of the reasons that it’s popular and it works in general is that for a woman warrior there’s a juxtaposition of nurturer and destroyer that creates a natural added tension,” Silverstein said. “And as far as Hollywood goes, I think that juxtaposition is a good way for an action show to appeal to both the male and female audience.”

LOS ANGELES — If the music to the Season 9, Episode 5 installment of Fox’s animated sitcom “Family Guy” had a relaxed feel, maybe it was because of the 104degree mineral water. Glenn Morrissette helped orchestrate the score after a leisurely soak last October in the natural hot springs in the tiny northwestern Wyoming town of Thermopolis. Morrissette did his work from his recording studio on wheels — an RV he calls home as he meanders around the country. Working from home is not uncommon for professional musicians, who have replaced the room-size recorders and sound mixing systems of the 1980s with laptops and specialized software. Going a step further and working from the road eliminates many of the interruptions that come with working in the city. Nearly two years ago, the 41year-old composer, who works mainly in TV and film production, looked around his Burbank apartment and realized his belongings had taken over. “Careless consumerism” is how he describes it. He made a list of the things he needed to be happy. “It was a pretty short list,” he was surprised to discover: his woodwind instruments, his laptop, a week’s worth of clothing, a good book and an electric razor. The rest he sold or gave away. On his way to a rehearsal one day, Morrissette stopped at a traffic signal in his Miata sports car and glanced up at a modest-size motor home in the next lane. “I could probably live in that now,” he thought. He made another list, this one of every reason he could think of why he shouldn’t ditch his apart-

And pretty soon there was no list left.” It took about four months for him to break free of “the gravity that was pulling me into the comfort zone of Burbank” and its environs, he said. After a few shakedown jaunts to the Santa Monica Mountains and places like Lake Hughes, the Corrizo Plain and Ojai, he was ready to hit the road. He was headed for the interior of Arizona in February when an appendicitis attack forced him to stop in Parker, Ariz., for outpatient treatment.

C OV ER S T ORY A woman carries firewood on her back in Panajachel, Guatemala, earlier this month. The Guatemala highlands are a great location for rugged backcountry treks, and within them is Panajachel near Lake Atitlan, a popular tourist destination.

A Mayan sauna, left and above, known as a temescal, was not tall enough to stand in, but wooden benches provided seating. Rinsing off with bowls of steaming water is a refreshing way to end a day spent hauling a pack 13 miles through cornfields and cloud forests.

Guatemala Continued from C1 It was like a large doghouse, a concrete box with a pitched roof, not tall enough to stand in, but we could sit upright on a wooden bench. From a steel drum we scooped bowls of steaming water and rinsed ourselves. It felt good after hauling a pack 13 miles through sun-beaten cornfields, dropping into cloud forests where bamboo and orchids grew and where weathered woodcutters with machetes heaved beneath 100-pound loads of firewood. We sweated in this Mayan sauna, a temescal, for half an hour, before crawling outside to discover that the fog had dispersed and the sky was exploding with stars. Back at the plaza a town meeting was under way, and the villagers were debating something in their glottal, popping language called Tz’utujil.

The taming of the land Remember when Guatemala was the world’s coolest destination, when your dormmates returned from winter break bedecked in purple ponchos for which they’d bargained — in Spanish! — from some actual Maya on market day in Chichicastenango? As decades of civil war calmed enough to allow tourism, your friends reported hair-raising rides aboard rickety chicken buses, those Blue Birds pimped like low-riders with flashing lights, naked-lady mud flaps, and Jesus and the Virgin Mary airbrushed on the hood. But that was so 1990. When the next generation lugged its backpacks to more exotic places like Uzbekistan and Laos, Guatemala became a done-that, losing its cachet among the Lonely Planet vanguard and opening itself up to the Frommer’s masses. Tourism is now the country’s top industry,

a fact made evident by the tour buses spilling North Americans, Europeans and South Americans into destinations like Antigua, Tikal and Lake Atitlan. Just how tame has Guatemala become? Well, in the past two decades my 72-year-old mother had gone there 15 times. But when my parents invited my girlfriend and me to join them on Trip No. 16, I was struck with nostalgic yearning. It had been 17 years since my only visit to Guatemala, and in the intervening years as a writer searching for new places, I had ended up in a few locations that were just as well left unvisited. Maybe the reason so many people still flock to Guatemala is that it is fun to be there. It is, after all, a country where a man in a cowboy hat will board the public bus and sell you a pink ice cream cone for 25 cents. Our plan was to travel the new gringo trail with my parents and then peel off into parts unknown. First we took a week of Spanish classes in Antigua, its cobblestone streets so heavily trod by foreign sandals that it ceases to feel Guatemalan and takes on an international character all its own. The narrow sidewalks teem with mimes and Michigan State students among the Mayas and marimbas, and you can choose Thai, Italian or sushi each night. The one-on-one Spanish lessons cost just $120 a week, and even if you don’t want to learn the language, paying someone $7 an hour to listen to you is a pretty good deal. We spent afternoons climbing volcanoes and riding bikes through hillside villages, the pat-pat-pat of hands slapping dough audible through the open doors of the tortillerias. Then we spent a week on Lake Atitlan, which has perhaps borne the hardest brunt of backpackers. While the indigenous villagers, since the landing of Pedro de Alvarado 500 years ago,

have resisted outside conquest well enough to maintain their native language, they appear to have capitulated almost entirely in the four decades since the arrival of the hippie. You can get by easily here with no language but English and no currency but dollars, and fantasies of Mayan immersion are disrupted by barefoot white people hawking trinkets and busking Bob Marley on the guitar. We avoided these Haight Street dregs — not to mention all glimmers of native culture — when my parents checked us into the exquisite Hotel Atitlan. Here amid captive blossoms and parrots in cages, the waters of the infinity pool seemed to merge with the lake, and as mist hovered on the volcano tops, cocktails were delivered caldron-side by Mayas dressed in the warrior costumes of their ancestors.

Ready for adventure Once my parents left, my girlfriend, Cedar, and I wanted to get off the pavement. In the 15 years since the civil war, the dangers of wandering Guatemala’s wilderness have greatly decreased, and these days, outdoor adventure is booming: mountain biking tours, sea kayaking and treks across the highlands, like the one that landed us in the tiny fog-laden village of Santa Catarina. After packing up in the ramshackle municipal building that had proved a perfectly acceptable campsite, we crossed the plaza for breakfast in a one-table diner where an elderly woman named Maria was pressing tortillas over a fire. After our breakfast of eggs and rice and beans, we started the day’s hike, which would take us across plots of corn and green

peas that clung to the steep hills like patchwork, and then down a ravine to cross a rickety wooden footbridge and hoist ourselves up the mountain on the other side. Our guides were young volunteers from Britain and Ireland. The company was called Quetzaltrekkers, a nonprofit that operates a school and a youth home with the funds it raises through these trips. Late in the afternoon, after criss-crossing a creek shaded with alder groves and banana trees and orange lilies, we climbed out of yet another canyon. The lead guide, Anne McGarr, 25, a Dublin speech therapist on indefinite leave from her job, whipped out a phone and asked, “Who wants strawberry, and who wants pineapple?” Fifteen minutes later when we arrived at the house on whose floor we’d be sleeping — an upgrade from the previous night’s interrogation chamber — Don Pedro, the house’s owner, was ready with two blenders of cold fruit licuados. He and his wife served us chicken, rice and beans, and afterward we sat around a fire passing a guitar back and forth. Don Pedro sang us songs in both Spanish and Quiche, and paused to tell us of the dire poverty he’d grown up in, just a thatched roof shack for all 14 siblings, 10 of whom died young. I didn’t want to interrupt his story, so I never asked if they died from poverty, or the war, or something else. He said that the hardship had ended, thanks to God, only with the arrival of missionaries from Spokane, Wash., and Helena, Mont., who brought with them radios, medicine and irrigation. They even taught Don Pedro to read. He thanked us for passing through his village, for

For an additional 90 quetzales, your luggage will be delivered to the trip’s end. Some trekkers spend the night before departure at Casa Argentina (casaargentina.xela@gmail.com), the dilapidated hostel that is home to Quetzaltrekkers’ office (60 quetzales for a double), but a better night’s rest will be found at Hotel

supporting the school and the youth home with the money we spent for the hike. “Somos todos los hijos de Dios,” he concluded. We are all God’s children. I guess I expected resentment toward the unending stream of foreign do-gooders — from missionaries to the Peace Corps to Quetzaltrekkers — who can create one set of problems as they address another. I was surprised by Don Pedro’s earnest appreciation: The closest translation of his words was, “We love tourists here.” And I suppose that’s what I’m looking for when I ramble across other countries — not obliterating my own identity or merging with the locals, but just that thrill of not knowing what will happen next. Before bed Anne informed us that our wake-up call was 4 in the morning. She told us to trust her, it would be worth it. So when the alarm chirped we packed in chilly darkness, hauled ourselves past

There on a rugged patch of earth we rolled out of our sleeping bags and boiled water for powdered coffee and chocolate, watched the sky go gray and the lake go blue. Only a few hours had passed since Don Pedro’s lullabies. Now with the sun in the sky, we descended the rest of the way to the waters.

ON A SAFARI

Tanzania’s food chain, up close and personal By E mily Rosenbaum Chicago Tribune

IN THE SERENGETI, Tanzania — The lion isn’t sleeping tonight, and neither are most of the people around him. The eerie calls of male lions echo throughout the Serengeti at night. In a tent, even a luxury one, it is an unsettling sound, but the workers at the comfortable Kirawira Lodge in the western Serengeti smile reassuringly and insist that lions can’t work the zippers on the tent flaps. But even without opposable thumbs, there’s the matter of the menacing claws and sharp teeth that can bring down water buffaloes and tear wildebeest flesh from the bone. Canvas is no match for that, right? Tanzanians just laugh and reassure the wageni (tourists) that most lions don’t like the smell of humans. This is Tanzania, where the wild things are. The Serengeti plains are awash in curious sounds and amazing sights. During the annual, famed Great Migration, as many as 2 million animals make their way to greener pastures. The herds of grunting wildebeest and starkly painted zebras seek out plentiful water and rich grass, creating a noisy, roiling sea of hooves and hair all around the safari vehicle. These herbivores are closely watched by lions, leopards and cheetahs — carnivores looking to grab a lame animal or a newborn. Flailing wildebeest trying to ford the rivers attract the snapping teeth of huge crocodiles that lie in wait in the muddy water. Vultures and hyenas bring up the rear, hoping to pick clean the bones. All these parts of the food chain are monitored by camera-toting tourists and their safari guides. An adult lioness with a scarred hide and two fresh-faced juvenile lions have brought down a wildebeest and are gnawing on the carcass as five Land Rovers and Land Cruisers, necessary vehicles for the rough roads in the national parks, halt about 5 feet away, their occupants poking their

Zebras and elephants graze in Tanzania. The country’s vast array of wildlife is monitored closely by both carnivores and tourists. As many as 2 million animals take part in the annual, famed Great Migration.

The Tanzanian landscape offers a variety of terrain — from wide, grassy plains to lush foliage. heads out the pop-up roofs and frantically pressing the buttons on their digital cameras. It’s best not to have unrealistic expectations about what will be on display in the wild, though. Every safari guide has an eyerolling tale of demanding tourists who said their uncle/cousin/best friend went to Tanzania and saw a huge pride of lions dramatically kill an elephant, so “take us to that place, so we can see that.”

People and culture Amid all these amazing animals and glorious landscape, it can be easy to overlook the people. There are about 100 tribes in the country, many of them with

If you go Many things about visiting Tanzania are obvious and apply to most trips, such as not carrying large sums of money on the street, and leaving extravagant jewelry at home. Here are a few other tips for the Tanzania traveler: Book your trip through a well-known tour operator or safari company. A good company will handle everything, including providing a knowledgeable driver who speaks English and arranging airport transfers, hotel bookings, a flight to Zanzibar and a spice tour there. Here are a few reliable companies that offer an array of services and activities: Thomson Safaris (thomsonsafaris.com), Abercrombie & Kent (abercrombiekent.com), Naipenda Safaris (naipendasafaris.com) and Good Earth Tours (goodearthtours.com). Rough Guides’ Tanzania and Zanzibar books are a great source of information about hotels, restaurants and sights. International flights go into Kilimanjaro International Airport or Julius Nyerere International Airport, which is in Dar Es Salaam, the largest city. Kilimanjaro is convenient to the mountain and is about a one-hour drive from Arusha, the jumping-off point for safaris, so it’s an ideal place to land. For those going to Zanzibar first, the Dar Es Salaam airport would be the best place to fly into. You will need a malaria preventive, which is in pill form, and some vaccinations. Before you leave, visit a travel clinic, where you can get shots along with prescriptions for a malaria preventive and traveler’s diarrhea pills. You can get a tourist visa at an embassy before your trip, or have $100 in cash ready to give to customs and immigration when you land. The latter involves waiting in a long line at the airport, however. You can use American dollars in many tourist-friendly places in Tanzania, but it’s a good idea to exchange some dollars for Tanzanian shillings. Most hotels and large shops take credit cards, and there are several ATMs in the cities. It is perfectly acceptable to haggle in Tanzania, except in nice boutiques or shops. You likely will be quoted a high price at the tourist markets and shops, and can counter with a figure of up to half as much and typically be successful. Tourists travel via safari vehicles, usually Land Rovers and Land Cruisers. Safari companies also use some small buses. Be sure to tip your driver, your guide on Mount Kilimanjaro and anyone else who works hard for you in this poor nation. A set amount per day for your safari driver guide of $40$60 (depending on the number of people in your group) is typical. Be polite and patient. Rudeness and impatience are puzzling to Tanzanians. When on Africa time, you might arrive at your destination an hour or two later than expected. Relax and say, “Hakuna matata” (no worries).

interesting traditions and ways of life that go back hundreds of years. Around the Serengeti, the Datoga, Maasai and Hadzabe (also called Bushmen) are cultural highlights. Many safari companies can arrange for visits to villages where you can see the Datoga’s intricate jewelry-making and beadwork and the Hadzabe’s crude bows and arrows wielded skillfully by young men. The Maasai live in villages surrounded by a thorny corral to protect their cattle at night. Cattle are everything to the Maasai; in fact, they believe that they are the true owners of all cattle in the world. A visit to a Maasai village usually includes a welcoming song and dance, an exhibition of firemaking and a traditional contest in which young men, wearing sandals made of old tires, jump to win the hand of the woman they desire. From the wide, grassy plains of north-central Tanzania, the land changes dramatically on the drive to cool, blue Mount Kilimanjaro near the border with Kenya. For those not up to huffing and puffing their way for days to the 19,340-foot summit, a day hike is a great alternative. A hike to the first camping spot on the Coca-Cola Route (so called because it’s so popular) is mostly one through lush trees, foliage and waterfalls, and offers many chances to view curious blue monkeys and colobus monkeys, which have wizened, oldman faces.

Streets and shores A short plane trip takes visitors to Zanzibar, the spice islands and home of azure water. Zanzibar, made up of two main islands, has a unique history and reflects a hodgepodge of influences. The twisting streets of Zanzibar’s heart, Stone Town, display Moroccan, Indian and Arabic influences. Ancient carved doors and interesting shops stuffed with bric-a-brac are around every corner. Queen’s flamboyant frontman, Freddie Mercury, was born in Zanzibar, and many places claim a tie to the late singer, selling all manner of Mercury merchandise. There are lovely coral reefs and colorful fish around Zan-

zibar, so a snorkeling or scubadiving adventure is a must. We take a ride on one of the crude wooden boats that bob on the waters around the main islands, motoring to tiny Prison Island. After an afternoon of goofing on the amazing buoyancy of the Indian Ocean as we snorkel, a visit to the tortoise sanctuary is another treasure of the islands. The Prison Island tortoises make happy noises when visitors arrive to feed them and scratch their necks, which are as rough and tough as elephant hide. The sun sets in stripes of yellow, pink and purple, putting its mark on our day of sun, saltwater and ocean breezes, and capping our trip to Tanzania.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bride is saying yes to more than just one dress. Heather Wetzel plans to wear two when she weds next month: a white ball gown for the ceremony and a strapless knee-length number for the reception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who wants to be seen on Facebook in only one dress on their wedding day, anyway?â&#x20AC;? says Wetzel, 26, who works for a consulting firm in New York that helps associations manage their operations. Wetzel and other brides are embracing a trend popularized by celebrities like Chelsea Clinton and singer Carrie Underwood, who both made costume changes during recent nuptials. Traditional wedding gowns have grown so large and ornate that more women are ready for a cute, dance-worthy cocktail dress for the party after, said Denise Wash, a marketing vice president for bridal dressmaker Alfred Angelo. More than 40 percent of weddings occur between May and July, according to theknot.com, a bridal planning website that tracks the $4.2 billion U.S. market for wedding attire. About 15 percent of brides plan to buy more than one gown, and that may rise to as much as 30 percent as more seek variety, according to Carley Roney, editorin-chief of the New York site. And that means more matrimonial money for everyone from J. Crew to high-end designers like Amsale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We saw this come down from the celebrity, affluent part of the industry, and the last several years it has started moving down to the mainstream bridal markets,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Beitler, chief marketing officer at closely held Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect the trend to accelerate.â&#x20AC;?

A short, tiered ruffle wedding dress designed by J. Crew. About 15 percent of brides plan to buy more than one dress for their nuptials, preferring a shorter, more comfortable one for the reception. A bridal website says that proportion could rise to 30 percent.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are not dancing to Frank Sinatra for the whole reception. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more Black Eyed Peas, and that is hard to do in a ball gown.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carley Roney, theknot.com also has expanded its assortment at Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bridal over the past few years, and introduced two-looks-in-one dresses, with detachable skirts, this spring, Beitler said. Monique Lhuillier, a Los Angeles-based designer who made two wedding dresses for country western star Underwood last year, is creating more short options for her collection, allowing brides more range of motion. Her best-selling reception look, which goes for more than $7,000, is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pixieâ&#x20AC;? Chantilly lace corset worn with a floral embroidered organza miniskirt and a hyacinth-colored sash

tied at the waist, she said in an email. Brides typically spend more than $1,000 on their main wedding gown, according to theknot.com. Over the past decade retailers such as J. Crew and AnnTaylor have entered the market, and last year wedding dresses alone accounted for $1.7 billion in U.S. sales. Alfred Angelo, whose gowns mostly sell for just under $1,000, debuted its first little white dress line for spring of 2010, priced at $199 to $549. Clients are choosing among nearly a dozen styles for receptions and other events around their mar-

Luxury designer Amsale, whose flagship salon is on New Yorkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Madison Avenue, introduced its own little white dress collection in 2008 with designs priced at $900 to $1,200, compared with prices for traditional gowns as high as $12,000. Its

website currently features 25 such dresses. New York-based J. Crew, which joined the bridal market in 2004, expanded secondary interpretations a year ago, starting with a little dress covered in white sequins, said Tom Mora, head of wedding design.

By Andrew Dansby Houston Chronicle

More than 2,000 music acts passed through Austin during the 2011 SXSW Music Conference, so clearly there was plenty of good music to be heard. Here are a few that made an impression: Valerie June: I knew nothing about this Memphis singer-songwriter, but she made an instant impression performing with the assurance of some of the great singer-songwriters from years past. Hers is a soulful sort of roots music with potential for far-reaching appeal. The accompaniment sounds old-time folky, but something about June’s otherworldly voice makes her music feel very much of its era. Wild Flag: With two-thirds of Sleater-Kinney on board, this

band isn’t a huge departure from that one. The Portland-based group found some inspiration from sunny California pop, especially in the bright vocals that set it apart from S-K. Yuck: This English band deliberately dials back to the early ’90s and that rich era of alterna-rock, a logical step since just five years ago bands were doing retro-’80s stuff to great attention. Yuck is easy with a melody and puts enough mustard on its songs to push them across to those who do feel like rock left them behind. The Baseball Project: It sounded like a terrible idea on paper: Music vets Steve Wynn (the Dream Syndicate), Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, R.E.M.) and Peter Buck creating original music about baseball. But Wynn and

McCaughey could make a song cycle about funeral homes sound like radiant pop. While there’s glee in this project, their subject also lends itself to gravitas. Like the sport itself, these songs are full of intricacies, fame and obscurity, love and heartbreak and death. Raphael Saadiq: Saadiq is the kind of natural performer that seemed to go extinct after the ’60s. He’s the best thing to happen to R&B in a very long time, making good on the promise that Terence Trent D’Arby nearly turned into a career. Calibro 35: If your thing is Medeski Martin Wood with zero reservations, this Italian ensemble is for you. A day set was insanely funky with chunky guitar bits ripped one after the other by Massimo Martellotta.

Continued from C1 Roth indulged his yen for golf living at Eagle Crest, but soon sought more to do. He started by approaching Redmond High. Roth had heard grumbling about the quality of public education in general, so he said he decided the best way to find out was to observe it himself. That was three years ago. Roth now attends one of government and history teacher Chad Lowe’s classes every Friday, when at least half the time is devoted to discussing current events. “It’s the highlight of my week — that hour,” Roth said. “At our age, it’s important to know what this generation coming up is thinking.” While Lowe acknowledges it would be tough on public schools if everybody wanted to sit in on classes, he values Roth’s presence. “I really think of him as a good citizen,” Lowe said. Lowe said Roth introduces himself at the start of the trimester, explaining why he’s there, and chimes in during class discussions. “He loves politics,” Stabeck said. “I’d say it’s right up there with the dogs as his passions.” Roth was a novelty when he started attending class. Lowe said now the students appreciate Roth as he does them. And while Roth describes himself as a conservative, he said he has put aside the view that schools are liberal hotbeds pressuring students of differing opinions. “I love learning the way they think,” he said. “I think in some ways the views of the students challenge his thinking,” Lowe said, “and that his views and perspectives challenge their thinking.” Soon, however, Roth was seeking other ways to engage the community. For the couple, who have three dogs, volunteering at the Humane Society of Redmond was a logical choice.

Bottles and cans The couple started out by working an afternoon a week at the Humane Society’s front desk. “I’ll be honest with you; it was boring,” Roth said. Nearly three years ago, he teamed up with Humane Society volunteers Roberta Shirley and Barb Stinson, who had started recycling bottles and cans to donate the proceeds to the

organization. The Humane Society of Redmond, facing a mortgage for its building and other bills, was deeply in debt. Deschutes County lent it nearly $1.4 million to pay bills and as startup for revenuegenerating efforts. As of December, the organization had paid back approximately $600,000 and still owed the county about $786,000, according to previous Bulletin reports. Roth laughs about how at first they took the recyclables to area stores. He and his wife would form a daisy chain between the bags and the machines. “My wife and I got it down to 20 bottles a minute,” he marveled. But soon what began as a small effort grew. Shirley said Roth recruited three-fourths of the 12 or so volunteers who now regularly collect the bottles and cans. Roth amassed an email list of 75 households from which he collects. He sends out updates and pleas to remember to save the recyclable goods for him. He signs the messages “Bottle Boy Bob.” “I guess it’s my years of being an executive. I need to send out regular reports,” he joked. A warehouse behind the Humane Society now houses the operation. On a recent day, bags filled with cans towered over Roth’s head in the large space. The volunteers were ready to fill a four-horse trailer and take the load to Bend to recycle.

Roth, wearing a T-shirt sporting his Bottle Boy Bob nickname, sorted the goods. He said he spends about 10 hours a week on Humane Society work, between picking up bags from donor houses and helping sort. After assessing the current load, Roth prepped his trike for a short ride with Lucy. His wife has an electric trike too — although sometimes she uses special harnesses that allow their two Portuguese water dogs to pull it — and they enjoy riding them on getaways to the beaches in Washington. He keeps busy in his personal life too. The couple regularly visit with their children and grandchildren. Roth golfs, picking up cans on the course, and is building a bocce ball court in his Eagle Crest yard. But he said for him, leisure wouldn’t be enough. “I’m enjoying it, and it’s worthwhile,” Roth said of his volunteer work. “I just think he sets a good example for other people,” neighbor Stabeck said. “He gets up and gets moving and gives back.” Roth hit the throttle on his trike and flew away on the blacktop, Lucy’s ears flapping in the wind. Then he circled back and screeched to a halt. He grinned and said, “Isn’t this a blast?”

JUMBLE SOLUTION IS ON C8

H BY JACQUELINE BIGAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, March 27, 2011: This year, your decisions have stamina. Others watch you carry your ideas through to completion. At times your intentions are misunderstood, though you can straighten out any potential misunderstanding with ease. Don’t allow problems to sit or fester. If you are single, a friend could be on the path to a special relationship. Let it happen. If you are attached, the two of you need to develop the friendship that exists between you even more. This adds more understanding and glue to your bond. CAPRICORN reads you cold. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Being a natural leader has its drawbacks. Step back a little. Someone will fill your shoes, even if only temporarily. Release what is no longer a must. Find an appropriate outlet for your anger. Tonight: Check in with an older relative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reach out for others. You also might be ready to start planning a trip to meet someone halfway. Confusion surrounds communication. Don’t take someone’s comment personally. Tonight: With a friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Use your time with a friend or loved one well. You might be overly tired or pressured. Don’t

take the lead. You will feel much better if you take a break from your routine and always speaking to the same people. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH The smart Moon Child will defer to others and allow them to take a stronger role. You know what works, and you let others find out the same. If you are too dominant, others only see what you do but don’t experience it. Indulge in a physically active interest. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Choose an activity that relaxes rather than raises your stress level. The best choice is one where you get out of your routine and, if possible, away from the same places you frequently go. A partner could be unusually assertive. Tonight: Accept a friend’s or loved one’s special invitation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH More playfulness might be just what the doctor ordered. By letting out your inner child, you let go of adult-type problems. A child or loved one might delight in what is going on. You could be confused by another person’s intent. Tonight: Fun and games. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Arrange to stay close to home. Invite others to try out a somewhat zany party idea. A close friend or loved one could be unusually difficult. You are not communicating with each other on the level you would like. Tonight: Order in. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

HHHH Catch up with several people who needed your time when you had none to give. Go where you are appreciated. Someone appreciates and needs more of your feedback. Tonight: Go to a favorite spot. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Sometimes the veil of confusion is so intense that no one can see what is going on. Right now, what is said by one person could be well-intended, but another person feels criticized. Let it go and don’t take any comments personally -- for one day! Tonight: Your treat. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH Know that you are the cat’s meow. Though you could encounter a bit of flak here and there, no one is really going to oppose you. What starts out as a calm, centered conversation could fall apart rapidly. Tonight: Be sensitive to others’ confusion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Sometimes the wise move is to kick back. You, as a sign, have no shortage of ideas or suggestions. Your sense of humor carries you far. Don’t read more into what others say -- a cigar might be only a cigar. Tonight: Vanish while you can. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You are happiest around friends or groups of people. Go to the movies or see a play. Let go while others appear to be more than willing to entertain you. A partner could be adding to a financial misunderstanding. Tonight: Where people are. © 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Marvel faces mighty foe: publishing world uncertainty Spurgeon of The Comics Reporter agreed that comics fans “feel the strategy of it,” and that “it’s really easy for an exhaustion to set in.” Sales figures seem to bear this out: In 2006 and 2007 “Civil War,” in which Iron Man and Captain America battled over whether superheroes should register their powers and identities with the government, sold nearly 300,000 copies an issue. But last year the miniseries “Siege,” in which Captain America, Iron Man and Thor were reunited, sold just over 100,000 copies an issue. From the outside Marvel is buffeted by big-picture publishing crises: the closing of comics shops and bookstores, a downturn in sales lingering through the recession and the increasing threat of digital piracy.

wrestles with narrative strategies and promotional events that will lure new or lapsed readers while trying to satisfy the hard-core fans who have followed its heroes’ adventures for years, if not decades. Yet Marvel and the industry journalists said the company’s publishing business is still profitable. Johnston estimated that a comic book that sold as few as 20,000 or 30,000 copies could still make money. And while the full effects of the company’s purchase by Disney are an open question, the opportunities created by the deal were potentially exciting. “I can’t even speculate,” said Tom Brevoort, Marvel’s senior vice president for publishing. “There is ‘Disney on Ice.’ It’s not a great stretch to go, ‘There will someday be ‘Marvel on Ice,’ ” whether that’s ‘Iron Man on Ice’ or ‘The Avengers on Ice.’ ”

Axel Alonso, the new editorin-chief of Marvel Comics, was recalling how, about 10 years ago, when he was less experienced and recently hired by the company, he persuaded the British writer Peter Milligan to take over a struggling superhero comic called “X-Force.” “We drank all night, to the degree I realized I can’t go home because I’ll be sick,” said Alonso, a lean man of 45 with a bald head and a close-cropped beard. “We walked around all night, got breakfast the next day. I said, ‘So, you’re writing this.’ He said, ‘Yeah, I’m writing this.’ ” With some wistfulness, Alonso added, “Those were the days.” In the year 2011 this is how the day-to-day destiny of Marvel Entertainment, the home of universally recognized characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man and the mighty Thor, and whose ANSWER TO SUDOKU publishing division releases 60 to Robert Wright / New York Times News Service 90 comic books a month, is now Marvel executives, from left, Axel Alonso, Tom Brevoort, Joe Quesada and Dan Buckley share a laugh TODAY’S JUMBLE SOLUTION determined. last month in the Iron Man conference room at their offices in New York.

MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TOURNAMENT

As only remaining No. 1 seed, Kansas has target on its back By Jaime Aron

Elite Eight

With all due respect to the upset specialists still in Kansas’ way, this roll call of fattened seeds is enough to make coach Bill Self wonder whether he has a team of destiny that catches all the breaks — or if this is some sort of elaborate setup. No NCAA champion has ever had a path that, on paper, was as easy as this would be. In 1990, UNLV won the title by beating teams whose seeds added up to a record-high of 54. Kansas would be at 56 just by getting to the finals. “We’re not going to overlook no team,” said Markieff Morris, Kansas’ top rebounder and second-leading scorer. See Jayhawks / D6

The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — The Kansas Jayhawks are the only No. 1 seed left in the NCAA tournament, essentially favored to win it all at this point. Then again, the Jayhawks should still be around. This is a team that reached No. 1 in the Top 25 this season, and all they’ve had to play so far are teams seeded 16th, ninth and 12th. And they have to be called the team to beat considering what’s ahead of them: the lowest seed left in the field, No. 11 Virginia Commonwealth, in the Southwest Region finals today, and No. 8 Butler awaiting in the Final Four.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL: SEASON PREVIEW

Timbers still looking for first MLS win

A red October?

TORONTO — Javier Martina scored two goals, including a gorgeous volley from long range, and Toronto FC beat Portland 2-0 on Saturday. The Dutch winger scored a remarkable goal in the 70th minute, pulling down a goal kick from Stefan Frei and then volleying it from outside the box over reserve goalkeeper Jake Gleeson. The goal seemed to inspire Toronto, which finished strongly before a crowd of 20,086 who braved weather better suited for outdoor hockey than soccer. The fans gave Martina a standing ovation when he was substituted with three minutes remaining. Toronto went ahead in the 14th after a through ball from Maicon Santos to Dwayne De Rosario slashed open the defense. A Timbers player got his body between De Rosario and the goal, but the Toronto captain flicked the ball back to an onrushing Martina who poked it in past Adin Brown. The Timbers outshot Toronto 5-4 in the first half but failed to put any on target. Toronto had one shot on target and made it count. Portland switched goalies at the half, with New Zealand under-20 player Jake Gleeson coming in for Brown, who injured his hamstring. No. 1 goalkeeper Troy Perkins sat out the game with a knee sprain. The Timbers appeared to be running out of goalies when Gleeson went down after hurdling an attacker to punch away a corner. But he limped to his feet and continued. Both teams were coming off losses. Toronto suffered a 4-2 loss away to expansion Vancouver, while the Timbers were beaten 3-1 on the road by defending champion Colorado. — The Associated Press

Boston acquired outfielder Carl Crawford as a free agent this winter, and the Red Sox might have the most formidable lineup in the majors.

Pitcher Cliff Lee joined the Phillies in the offseason, and he is a big reason why Philadelphia is favored by many to win the National League.

Be it Red or White, this should be a good summer to play for the Sox. All-Stars Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez wound up in Boston. Adam Dunn picked Chicago, plus Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski decided to stick around. “They did a great job getting players,” slugger David Ortiz praised his Red Sox. “This is a tough division to play at and you definitely want to go out there and get whatever you can, whatever’s available, and that’s what they did. So it all depends on us now.” See AL / D5

Bruce Bochy has already picked the Phillies as his World Series favorite, and that’s coming from the manager who knows something about Philadelphia’s aces. The Colorado Rockies consider themselves a legitimate title contender, too, even if they have to take care of Bochy’s champion San Francisco Giants in the pitching-heavy NL West to get there. “When you walk into this clubhouse, it’s no longer, ‘Can we win this division?’” Rockies veteran Jason Giambi said. “I think it’s a failure for this year if we’re not a World Series contender.” See NL / D4

Cougs hit their way to two wins Bulletin staff report Mountain View slugged its way to a doubleheader sweep over Portland’s Cleveland High on Saturday, as the Cougars bested the visiting Warriors 16-6 and 10-0. Mountain View recorded 11 extra-base hits in the two games, both of which ended early because of the 10-run mercy rule. In the opener, the Cougars (4-3) scored eight runs in their first at-bat en route to the 10run victory. Dillon Baker went three for four with a home run and two runs batted in and Alex Robinett added a double and three runs scored. Andrew Deadmond picked up the win for Mountain View, striking out five and walking four in five innings of work.

Inside • More prep coverage, Page D6 Sam Peters earned the victory in the second game, throwing a five-inning shutout in which he limited Cleveland to three hits and struck out seven. The Cougars recorded seven hits against the Warriors in the afternoon game, five of which went for extra bases. Robinett recorded a double and a home run in addition to driving in five runs. Jo Carroll added a double and three RBIs in the second contest. Mountain View is back on the field Monday with a home game against Crook County.

Goalie helps lead Sharks over Coyotes The Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Logan Couture made another big push in his bid for the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie — at the Phoenix Coyotes’ expense. Couture scored twice, reaching 30 goals to pad his San Jose rookie record, and added an assist in the Sharks’ 4-1 victory over the Coyotes on Saturday night. “We noticed (Phoenix goalie Ilya Bryzgalov) was not seeing the puck all that well, so just fired on net,” Couture said. “(Bryzgalov) is one of the best in the league, but with the kind of night he was having, we wanted to put as many pucks on net as possible.” Antti Niemi made 25 saves for his 31st victory of the season to help the Sharks open a four-point lead over the Coyotes for the top spot in the Pacific Division.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TOURNAMENT

GOLF ROUNDUP

Laird up by two strokes at Bay Hill

No. 11-seeded Gonzaga beats Louisville to reach Elite 8

The Associated Press

The Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga coach Kelly Graves figured the realization of what her team has accomplished won’t settle in until the most inopportune of times — like the middle of the night. “At about 3 a.m. when I haven’t slept yet, we’ll start to think about it,” Graves said. But what might seem like a dream run for the Bulldogs is very much real. The little Jesuit school is one win away from the Final Four. Courtney Vandersloot did a little of everything again, scoring 29 points, handing out seven assists and getting seven steals, and 11thseeded Gonzaga advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in school history with a 76-69 win against Louisville on Saturday night. Playing less than two miles from their campus, the Bulldogs (31-4) sent the blood pressure rising for the 10,000 or so hometown fans in attendance after nearly squandering all of a 20-point second half lead. Along the way, they became the lowest seed to ever reach a regional final and get a chance Monday night to become the first school from outside the six major conferences to reach the Final Four in a decade. “It hasn’t really hit us yet,” Vandersloot said. “We’re excited about the win and I think that we’re still celebrating, but pretty soon we’ll focus on our next game ahead of us and then we’ll realize how close we are.” Shoni Schimmel led seventh-seeded Louisville (22-13) with 18 points, but didn’t find her shot until midway through the second half, missing 12 of her first 13 attempts. Keshia Hines scored a season-high 17, but the Cardinals got just five minutes out of leading scorer Monique Reid, who suffered a right groin strain. Reid said she actually felt it pop in pregame warmups and tried to go early but knew within the first 90 seconds she wouldn’t be able to do much. She returned briefly in the second half but finished with just two points. “It was a heck of a run and we did all we could,” Reid said. “Watching, it was painful. I mean, I’m the leading scorer on the team. They played hard. We tried. We definitely tried.” In other games on Saturday: 1 Stanford. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 5 North Carolina . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 65 SPOKANE, Wash. — Nnemkadi Ogwumike and her freshman sister Chiney scored 12 of Stanford’s final 15 points, and the Cardinal held on in the final minute for a win over North Carolina in the Spokane Regional semifinals. 2 Notre Dame. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 78 6 Oklahoma . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 53 DAYTON, Ohio — Brittany Mallory scored a season-high 20 points and Notre Dame’s defensive pressure took its toll in a victory over Oklahoma that sent the Fighting Irish to the regional final. 1 Tennessee. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 85 4 Ohio State . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75 DAYTON, Ohio — Shekinna Stricklen scored 20 points and touched off a critical 11-3 secondhalf run to power Tennessee past Ohio State in a NCAA regional semifinal.

UConn eliminates Arizona The Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. — With nine pressure-packed victories in 19 days, Connecticut has been on an exhausting sprint through the postseason for nearly three weeks now. Turns out Kemba Walker and his Huskies aren’t slowing down until they get to Houston. Walker scored 20 points, freshman Jeremy Lamb added 19 and Connecticut earned its second Final Four berth in three years, beating Arizona 65-63 Saturday to win the West regional. Derrick Williams and Jamelle Horne missed three-pointers in the final seconds for Arizona, allowing the third-seeded Huskies (30-9) to hang on after Lamb, the Huskies’ fearless freshman, scored six key points down the stretch. After missing the NCAA tournament entirely last year, coach Jim Calhoun’s tireless team is headed to UConn’s fourth Final Four, punctuated by an ebullient celebration in a building packed with Arizona fans. “This is no time to be tired,” Walker said. “We’re trying to get as far as possible. We want to win this whole thing.” Williams had 20 points while battling foul trouble for the fifthseeded Wildcats (30-8), who led with six minutes to play. After Lamb pushed the Huskies ahead and Walker hit a jumper with 1:13 left, Lamont Jones and Horne then hit late three-pointers for Arizona, but the Wildcats

couldn’t convert two good looks in the final seconds. “The second one, I thought it was definitely going in,” Lamb said. “When he missed it, I looked at the clock and saw zerozero, and I just went, ‘Whooooo.’ It’s the best feeling I’ve ever had.” UConn also made the Final Four in 1999, 2004 and 2009 — all three times out of the West. In sweet redemption for a program and a veteran coach tarred by scandals over the past year, the Huskies will face the winner of the East regional final between North Carolina and Kentucky next Saturday. The Huskies are the last team standing from the Big East’s 11 NCAA entrants. After going 99 in regular-season conference play, they’ve done more than even Calhoun might have expected just three weeks ago. After the Wildcats missed their final two shots, Walker and Calhoun wrapped each other in a bear hug at center court after the buzzer as Emeka Okafor, Jake Voskuhl and other UConn alums celebrated on the court. The two-time national champion coach has referred to his group as “an old-fashioned team,” a praise of their work ethic and resilience. But they also showed remarkable poise down the stretch in a building firmly in

favor of the Wildcats. “I definitely expected to play in the NCAA tournament and have a chance at the Final Four when I chose UConn,” Lamb said. “I just didn’t know it would happen this fast.” A year after Arizona’s 25-year streak of NCAA tournament appearances ended, the Wildcats and second-year coach Sean Miller were one three-pointer away from a return to the Final Four. Williams demolished Duke in the regional semifinals with a career-high 32 points, but three early fouls limited him to seven minutes in the first half against UConn. Jesse Perry scored 14 points for Arizona, which trailed 34-25 early in the second half before scoring nine straight points. The Wildcats reclaimed the lead with 14½ minutes left on Williams’ layup, but UConn quickly scored seven consecutive points. Also on Saturday: 8 Butler . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .74 2 Florida . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 71 NEW ORLEANS — Shelvin Mack scored 27 points, including five in overtime, and Butler returned to the Final Four with a victory over Florida. Matt Howard scored 14 and Khyle Marshall added 10 for the Bulldogs (27-9), who showed again they simply won’t give in, erasing an 11-point hole in the second half.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Martin Laird already had lost a four-shot lead Saturday at Bay Hill, and as his 6-iron on the par-3 17th began to fade weakly toward the pond, he wondered if a two-shot lead would disappear even quicker. He was happy to see it land in the bunker, some 80 feet from the flag. Then came a long blast from the sand to 6 feet, and a par save that felt like a birdie. It was like that all day at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, only one thing didn’t change. Laird never surrendered the lead. The 28-year-old Scot made it through an up-and-down day with a 2-under 70 and had a two-shot lead over Spencer Levin. “That was a big one,” Laird said of his par save on the 17th, one hole after a two-shot swing gave him a cushion. “I was lucky. I wasn’t sure if it Martin Laird was going to make it over the water, to be honest, when it was in the air. And I was lucky to make it over, and then that was a big up-and-down.” Now comes the hard part. Laird was at 11-under 205. This is the third time in his last 12 stroke-play events on the PGA Tour that he has been atop the leaderboard going into the final round, and the last two ended with someone else celebrating. At The Barclays, it was Matt Kuchar hitting a 7-iron to 30 inches to beat him in a playoff. In Las Vegas, it was Jonathan Byrd making a hole-in-one to win a three-man playoff. Levin, who had to scramble for bogey on the easy 16th to fall two shots behind, put his troubles behind him quickly and finished off a 71 to get into the final group. That’s not to say it will be a two-man race. With wind in the forecast, six players are separated by five shots. That includes two players who appear to be getting closer to their first PGA Tour win, Steve Marino and Rickie Fowler. It does not include Tiger Woods. The six-time Bay Hill winner had another Saturday swoon, trading an eagle and birdies with bogeys and a double bogey that sent him to a 2-over 74 and left him 10 shots out of the lead. “Hopefully, the wind blows tomorrow and I can post a good one,” Woods said. “And I can get a little momentum going into Augusta.” Also on Saturday: Jiyai Shin leads Kia Classic INDUSTRY, Calif. — Second-ranked Jiyai Shin shot a 3-under 70 to take a one-stroke lead over Germany’s Sandra Gal after the third round of the Kia Classic. Shin, the South Korean star who has eight LPGA Tour victories, had a 15-under 134 total on the Industry Hills Golf Club course at Pacific Palms. Gal also shot a 70. South Korea’s Na Yeon Choi was third after a 65, the best score of the round. Englishman’s 60 provides lead in Spain MALAGA, Spain — England’s Kenneth Ferrie shot a 10-under 60 to match the European Tour record and move within a stroke of leader Paul Lawrie in the Andalucia Open. Ferrie had eight birdies and an eagle. Lawrie, from Scotland, had a 65 to reach 12 under. England’s Mark Foster also had a 65 to match Ferrie at 11 under.

Big fourth quarter lifts Mavs over Jazz The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Shawn Marion was asked if the Dallas Mavericks’ fourthquarter blowout of the Utah Jazz on Saturday night represented a statement game. Hardly. “If we got a statement game, it’s probably when we play the Lakers,” Marion said of a March 31 road game in Los Angeles. “We’re 1-2 against them right now. They’re the defending champions. That’s the statement game.” Still, Dallas players knew it was important to start their six-game road trip on a positive note, something they did with a 13-0 fourth-quarter run that turned a close contest into a 94-77 rout. Reserve Jason Terry scored five of his game-high 22 points in that run to hand the slumping Jazz their fifth straight loss. The win gave the Mavs their first series sweep of the Jazz since the 2004-2005 season. “To start off the road trip with a win in this building, it builds up your confidence,” Terry said. “We’ve got to keep the momentum, and it happens quick. (Sunday) night, we got to get it going.” Today, the Mavs (51-21) face a Phoenix Suns team that is three games out of eighth place in the Western Conference playoff race. Dallas then heads to Los Angeles for back-to-back games against the Clippers and Lakers, before closing out the road trip at Golden State and Portland. In other Saturday games:

NL Continued from D1 With four No. 1 starters in its rotation, Philadelphia is eager to make up for an early exit to the Giants last fall in the NL championship series. The Phillies were supposed to be the team to beat. Now, the expectations are even greater for this club: Win it all or bust. “Obviously, that is the ultimate goal,” said Cliff Lee, who was on the other end against the Giants while pitching for AL champion Texas last season. “The first thing you’ve got to do is get there. We’ve got to play 162 games to get to the postseason. Once you’re in the postseason, yeah, you’ve got to win the last game to do the ultimate.”

Lee is far from the only new addition in the National League as he returns to Philly. From Southern California to South Beach and north to the nation’s capital, changes abound in the NL. No more Bobby Cox on the top dugout step for the Atlanta Braves after he retired. No more Joe Torre managing the Los Angeles Dodgers. The four-time World Series winning skipper is Major League Baseball’s new executive vice president for baseball operations. Slugger Jayson Werth is now in Washington. The right fielder received a $126 million, sevenyear contract from the Nationals this winter, which includes a full no-trade clause. And with another former AL Cy Young Award winner, Zack Greinke, now with Milwaukee, the

Brewers figure to be in the playoff chase. And don’t rule out Cincinnati in the Central after the Reds reached their first playoff trip in 15 years last fall only to be swept by the Phillies in the first round. In the NL East, does anybody else stand a chance against Charlie Manuel’s bunch and all of those aces: Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, Cole Hamels and Joe Blanton? “We’ve still got to go play. We’ve got to beat people. That’s part of it,” Manuel said. “If you’re good, you’ve got to stay good. That means you’ve got to play hard, stay focused on what you’re doing, can’t get distracted and you’ve got to stay at it. And you’ve got to love to play.” The new-look New York Mets hope they are fine after a winter of transition — and financial

trouble — and same goes for the Florida Marlins and Chicago Cubs, two more NL teams with new managers. The Mets fired manager Jerry Manuel and GM Omar Minaya after two straight losing seasons, and now longtime baseball executive Sandy Alderson is in charge and will be eager to get things turned around in a hurry. New skipper Terry Collins is getting another shot in his third managerial gig after going 444-434 during 1990s stints with the Astros and Angels. “I think, honestly, the favorite has to be the Phillies. You want to pick the Giants because of the success last year, but the way the Phillies have built that rotation, it might be one of the best rotations ever,” Milwaukee outfielder Corey Hart said.

third straight division title, Detroit signed dangerous switch-hitter Victor Martinez and Chicago added Dunn to its strong core. “Looking at the Twins over the years, they’re always going to be competitive,” said Jim Thome, who opted to return to Minnesota in January instead of signing with the AL champion Rangers. “Look at what the White Sox and Tigers have done, they’ve upped their teams, too. It should be a fun, fun division.” The White Sox got off to a difficult start last year, moved into first place at midseason and stumbled down the stretch while the Twins surged into the playoffs.

Ozzie Guillen and general manager Kenny Williams are getting along again. “The Central is going to be tough, Central goes down to the wire every year,” White Sox pitcher John Danks said. “If it doesn’t come down to the wire it will be a rarity.” Texas ran away with the West in 2010 on the way to the pennant. AL MVP Josh Hamilton is back, but the Rangers could be pushed by improving Oakland and the Los Angeles Angels. Of course, a major injury or trade could jumble any one of the divisions, setting the stage for another wild season. “The American League in general, the last couple years, has been really good,” Konerko said. “Even the teams that were last place in each division were tougher than usual. There’s no pushover.”

OSU pulls away from UCSB From wire reports CORVALLIS — Parker Berberet homered and the 23rdranked Oregon State baseball team rapped out 11 hits against five UC Santa Barbara pitchers in an 11-5 win over the Gauchos Saturday afternoon at Goss Stadium. The win gave Oregon State a series win, and the Beavers will go for the sweep today at 1:05 p.m. PDT. It marked the Beavers’ third consecutive win as the club improved to 18-5, the team’s best start through 23

games since the 2007 club went 20-3. Berberet’s home run punctuated Oregon State’s day offensively, with eight different players tallying at least one hit. Berberet went two for four with two RBIs. He was matched by Ryan Barnes, who went two for three with two RBIs, while Danny Hayes drove in three runs off one hit and, and Jared Norris plated two with his hit. OSU erupted for four runs in the first, two in the second and

two more in the third to take a commanding 8-2 lead early on. OSU starter Josh Osich was the recipient of the early run support and rode five innings of work to his third win of the season. He struck out five, walked three and allowed three hits and two runs in his sixth start of the season. Norris drove in his first two runs of the game with a double in the first, highlighting the Beavers’ four-run inning. OSU has now outscored opponents 21-6 in the first innings of games this season.

Wichita State tops UO in 17 innings EUGENE — Oregon scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth with the game on the line to send Saturday’s contest into extra innings, but the Ducks couldn’t find a run in the next eight as Wichita State prevailed 7-6 in 17 innings of action at PK Park. Nearly 1,400 fans were on hand to watch the six-hour mar-

athon that endured a 22-minute rain delay. Ejections included Wichita State head coach Gene Stephenson and two Shocker players in the 16th inning, as well as Oregon head coach George Horton in the fifth inning. Wichita State (17-7) now leads the weekend series over Oregon (13-9) with a 2-1 advantage heading into today’s finale, set for 1 p.m.

Jayhawks Continued from D1 “I think that’s making us go. I think we respect them enough to execute and guard them like they’re the Dukes and North Carolinas.” But there’s a difference between pretending a team is a battle-tested, proven champion and actually believing it when you step on the court and see an unfamiliar jersey like the Rams’ black and yellow. Maybe that’s why history suggests Kansas could be in trouble, if not today then next weekend in Houston: • The Jayhawks are the fifth team to play to a No. 11 with a Final Four spot on the line. Two of those teams won, two didn’t. • Even if the Jayhawks make the Final Four, they’d be the third team to get there without facing anyone seeded higher than ninth. The others (North Carolina in 1991, and Michigan State in 2001) both went down in the national semifinals. “Every team is vulnerable this time of year, especially No. 1 seeds because I think other teams like to gun for them,” said Tyrel Reed, another senior guard. “But you can’t try to protect being the No. 1 seed. You’ve got to go out and take what’s yours, and just play the team that’s in front of you.” Kansas is 35-2, winners of 11 straight. The Jayhawks are a deep, versatile team that can outscore foes or simply wear them down. VCU coach Shaka Smart was so impressed by them from afar that he voted them No. 1 several times in the coaches’ poll. After seeing them up close Friday night, he’s even more convinced they’re the real deal. “There’s really no correct way to guard Kansas, other than the fact that you’ve really got to do a great job personnel-wise taking away what they do best,” Smart said. “You’ve got to be aggressive.” Self and several of his players have had some experience playing a tournament darling. In 2008, they were a No. 1 seed taking on 10th-seeded Davidson, led by Stephen Curry. The Jayhawks nicked them by a basket, then went on to win the first Final Four filled with No. 1 seeds — right here at the Alamodome, in fact. Now that they’re the only No. 1 seed left, Self joked that the only excitement is simply that they’re still playing. Last season, the Jayhawks weren’t just seeded No. 1, they were the No. 1 overall seed, yet didn’t even make it out of the first weekend. So it didn’t take seeing Pittsburgh losing last weekend, Duke losing Thursday night or overall No. 1 Ohio State losing on Friday night for the Jayhawks to understand having a top seed guarantees nothing. “The No. 1 seeds that have exited the tournament so far, I think, is more of a statement to what can happen in college basketball than anything

Oregon had the game-winning run just 90 feet away in the bottom of the ninth, but Wichita State third baseman Tyler Coughenour’s diving stop on the hot corner denied Danny Pulfer the walk-off win after Oregon has loaded the bases. Wichita State’s Foster Vielock (1-1) earned the win on the mound and tossed the final four innings.

PREP ROUNDUP

La Pine baseball earns first win Bulletin staff report

Elite Eight Capsules for today’s Elite Eight basketball games in the men’s tournament:

SOUTHWEST REGION No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 11 VCU Time: 11:20 a.m. TV: CBS What to watch for: VCU, which finished fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association in the regular season, has been on fire from three-point range in this tourney (41-of-96, 42.7 percent, compared to 52 field goals from two-point range), and that must continue because VCU is going to have all sorts of issues dealing with Kansas’ size on both ends. The Jayhawks have held foes to just 29.1 percent shooting from three-point range this season; that’s fourth-best in the nation. Key player: F Jamie Skeen is VCU’s leading scorer and the Rams’ only legit low-post threat, but he has almost as many made free throws (14) as made field goals (17) in VCU’s four tourney games. He has to provide some offense in the paint, or the Rams will be far too perimeter-oriented.

EAST REGION No. 2 North Carolina vs. No. 4 Kentucky Time: 2:05 p.m. TV: CBS What to watch for: You think CBS loves this matchup? These are the two winningest teams in NCAA tourney history, as Kentucky has 106 victories (in 52 appearances) and North Carolina has 105 (in 42 appearances). UNC is all about its “Big Three” up front of C Tyler Zeller and Fs John Henson and Harrison Barnes. Zeller has been dominant in the tourney, with 82 points and 26 rebounds. Can he continue his offensive explosion against UK C Josh Harrellson? Harrellson basically held his own against Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger. Key players: The point guards are the guys to watch. Tar Heels PG Kendall Marshall isn’t an offensive threat, but he makes the offense go because he is a pass-first guy who knows how to get the ball inside to the big men. Kentucky PG Brandon Knight, also a freshman, is the Wildcats’ leading scorer, and he has hit the winning baskets against Princeton and Ohio State in the tourney. else,” Self said. “When you have this many good teams and good players, things like that do happen. But we’re just worried about San Antonio, Texas, Sunday afternoon, playing VCU, and if we’re fortunate enough to advance we’ll worry about whoever we’re playing once we get there.” Most Kansas players were back at their hotel Friday night when Ohio State lost. Some of them realized that it made them the only No. 1 left. Reed was among those who didn’t. He found out when a trainer pointed it out to several players. “We just shrugged,” Reed said. “Whatever.”

JOHN DAY — La Pine posted its first win of the season Saturday when the Hawks rolled past Jefferson 14-7 in the Grant Union baseball tournament. Josh Helms hit a two-run home run and Austin Manley added a double and three stolen bases as the La Pine offense banged out nine hits in the victory. Jake Gacke also contributed three runs batted in during the Hawks’ last game of the tournament.

La Pine (1-3) starts Sky-Em League play Tuesday with a road game at Sweet Home. In other prep games Saturday: BASEBALL Baghdad (Ariz.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 Sisters. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0 MESA, Ariz. — The Outlaws lost to Baghdad (Ariz.) in the semifinals of the Salt River Invitational. Sisters pitcher Jordan Hodges allowed a lead-off home run to start the game and the Outlaws managed just two hits

all afternoon. One was a double by Eric Carlson. “He’s really developing into the lead-off hitter we need him to be,” Sisters coach Steve Hodges of Carlson. “This was our fourth game in 48 hours and we played a little tired to be honest.” The Outlaws won their first three games of the tournament to advance to Saturday’s semifinal round. Sisters is staying in the Phoenix area and holding practices through Wednesday.

THE BULLETIN • SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 2011

DAVID BROOKS

Gadhafi’s megalomania is the key to his longevity

here’s something I’ve always wondered about Moammar Gadhafi: How does a guy who seems to be only marginally attached to reality manage to stay in power for 42 years? He gives rambling incoherent speeches at places like the United Nations. His head is stuffed with oddball conspiracy theories and strange obsessions, like calling for the elimination of Switzerland or blaming the JFK assassination on Israeli intelligence. He shows up in foreign countries in odd dress, with odd make-up and hair-gel preferences, once having pinned a photograph to his chest. He has an all-female bodyguard contingent. In 2008, he announced that as part of a government shake-up, he was going to abolish all government ministries except Defense, Internal Security and a few others. These are not the actions of a cold, calculating Machiavellian. Yet Gadhafi can’t just be dismissed as a comic loon. He’s maintained dominance in a ruthless part of the world, and he may outlast the current shambolic attempts to unseat him. It seems that there is something advantageous in the megalomania that is his defining lifelong trait. He was kicked out of school for trying to organize a student strike. He began plotting a coup to take over the country while in college. He has repeatedly compared himself to Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad. He calls the Green Book, his book of teachings, “the new gospel.” Gadhafi apparently wrote the book with the conviction that he had discovered the answers to all human problems, which he calls the Third Universal Theory. Along the way he offers banal observations as if nobody had ever thought of them before. He reveals that women menstruate and men do not. He seems to be one of those people who believes he possesses absolute truth, who wants to impose his thoughts on everybody else and exercise total dominance over others like some World Historical superman. That’s how he has run his country. According to the Freedom of the Press Index, it is the most censored country in the Middle East and North Africa, which is saying something. Experts estimate that as much as 10 percent or 20 percent of the population is made up of state security informants. To eliminate outside influence, Gadhafi at one point removed foreign languages from schools and removed the Latin lettering street signs. Early on, he expelled the Italian community, forcing its members to exhume the bodies of Italians from Libyan graveyards to take home. Over the decades, he has tried to remake the world in his own grandiose image. He tried to create a larger empire by merging Libya and Sudan. He tried to create a Federation of Arab Republics with Egypt and Syria. He tried to create an Arab Legion. He has named himself King of Kings, Imam of All Muslims and, in 2009, sought to create a United States of Africa. He has created dictatorship academies and has trained some of the world’s most brutal autocrats, and, of course, he has supported terrorist movements in Australia, Ireland, Germany and beyond. Yet this very megalomania seems to be both the secret to his longevity and to his unhinged nature. The paradoxical fact is that if you want to stay in office as a dictator, it is better to be a narcissistic totalitarian than a run-of-the-mill autocrat. Megalomianiacs like Gadhafi seek to control every neuron in their peoples’ heads and to control every aspect of life. They destroy all outside authority and civil society. They personalize every institution so that things like the army exist to serve their holy selves, rather than the nation at large. They are untroubled by doubt or concern for the good opinion of others since they already possess absolute truth. They are motivated to fulfill their World Historical Mission and have no interest in retiring peacefully to some villa. Jeane Kirkpatrick was right years ago to make the distinction between authoritarian dictatorships and totalitarian ones. The totalitarian ones are both sicker and harder to dislodge. Gadhafi’s unhinged narcissistic oddness seems to be the key to his longevity. So remember: If you’re going to be a tyrant, be a wacko. It’s safer. David Brooks is a columnist for The New York Times.

Where will the next killer quake strike?

Monster temblors like the one that struck Japan wallop the West Coast every 300 to 600 years By Roger Bilham Bloomberg News

s the world’s attention remains fixed on Japan’s crippled nuclear reactors, scientists are beginning to understand the details of the megaquake that brought so much ruin to Japan, saying it’s probably the largest temblor to hit the nation in 1,000 years. Seismologists have known for some time that over periods of millennia such megaquakes occur. They pack the punch of three or more major earthquakes into a single tumultuous rupture, allowing several segments of long, straight tectonic plate boundaries to catch up with a handful of inefficient adjustments that arose in the past several hundred years. The rarity of these events makes them difficult to study, much less forecast, but we’ve now had three in less than a decade: the 2004 Sumatra earthquake released twice as much energy as the recent one in Japan, and last year’s Chilean earthquake produced half as much. Clearly the time has come for scientists to take up the challenge of working harder to try forecasting these extreme geological events. The March 11 earthquake ruptured a 300-by-100-square-mile area of the Pacific plate where it plunges into the Earth’s mantle under Honshu, north of Tokyo. In the past few hundred years, earthquakes in the same region, though damaging, were smaller, even if sometimes spawning monster tsunamis with heights near the epicenters exceeding 90 feet (27 meters).

Scientists expected more modest events, yet what happened was stunningly different — segments of the plate boundary that had slipped more or less regularly teamed up with those that had been hung up for centuries, in places driven by more than 50 feet of pent-up Pacific displacements.

The earthquake has caused major changes to the Pacific coastline north of Tokyo. Thanks to several hundred global positioning units that operated every 5 seconds during the earthquake, we know that in less than 3 minutes the island of Honshu expanded westward by up to 12 feet, adding acreage equivalent

to 150 soccer fields. Like a stretched-out rubber band that’s been cut, the coastal city of Sendai near the epicenter moved first 15 feet toward the United States and then in the next 50 seconds snapped back 3 feet to where it now remains. See Quake / F5

College savings plan needs help

ollege tuition has been going up even faster than health care. One robust tool Oregon families do have to help with college is the Oregon College Savings plan.

It saves on taxes. The earnings on money saved that are used for quali-

fied expenses are free from federal and Oregon state income tax. Money saved in the college savings plan can also be used for qualified technical and vocational training programs. College savings plans like Oregon’s have done for college and vocational training what 401(k) plans have done for retirement. They help motivate people to save and avoid crushing debt. As good as Oregon’s plan is, it could be better. That requires changing federal law. There’s a bill in Congress, H.R. 529, to do so. The first two changes in the bill are obviously needed. Two others may be good ideas, but they are also new costs to taxpayers. A computer is about as close to a necessity for a student now as books. But unless a computer is required by the school or a course, federal law does not allow money from college savings plans to be spent on a computer. H.R. 529 would allow such expenses for computer technology or equipment. The bill does prohibit using the money on software for games or hobbies. A second change in the bill would give people enrolled in college savings plans more freedom to move their money around. Under federal law, money invested in a college savings plan can now only be moved once a year within the plan. That was done on purpose because, in general, it’s not the best investment strategy to have people churning their money through the dif-

ferent investment options. The turmoil in the financial markets in 2008 made it clear, though, that more flexibility was called for. Many investors in college savings plans were stung. If they had already moved their investments around that year, they were stuck with what they had and couldn’t flee to cautious options. H.R. 529 would enable the investments to be moved four times. There are also two tax incentives in the bill. The bill allows employers to match employee contributions to college savings plans up to $600 per year. Employers are able to exclude the match from gross income, much as they already can for employee educational expenses. The other tax incentive in the bill gives a nonrefundable tax credit to people who invest in college savings plans of up to $1,000 for single filers or double that for joint filers. It’s limited to people of moderate income, which in the bill is defined at below $27,750 a year for single filers or double that for joint filers. We called Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and also Rep. Greg Walden’s office to find out how they feel about H.R. 529. Nobody we talked to was familiar with it yet. If this bill wends its way through Congress, it may not pass on its own. Part of it might be attached to a larger bill. If that does happen, the benefits of making computers eligible expenses and giving families flexibility shine. The other two changes are dulled by their cost.

Keep restrictions on license pictures O

regon private investigators want your pictures. They shouldn’t get them. Oregon House Bill 3259 would require the Department of Transportation to provide the photograph on a driver’s license, driver permit or identification card to licensed private investigators. Investigators testifying before a House committee last week said they were perfectly willing to pay a fee to cover any expenses. They want the pictures for two reasons, essentially: convenience and safety. It’s much easier to find who you are looking for if you know what they look like. And if the person has a violent history, being able to recognize the individual from a picture could better prepare investigators for an encounter. According to legislative testimony, three states — Iowa, Missouri and Arizona — allow licensed private investigators access to the photos. Release of any driver’s license

information in Oregon is highly restricted. Release of photos is more restricted. Photos are only available now to law enforcement or to department employees in the conduct of their duties. It should stay that way. Investigators testifying before a legislative committee did give summaries of potentially dangerous situations they have walked into. Could the danger have been reduced had they had photos? Perhaps. But if it’s true that these people the investigators want pictures of are potentially dangerous, shouldn’t we all get pictures of them? Oregon doesn’t let just anyone become a licensed private investigator. The state requires training. Many investigators are former law enforcement officers. Does that mean they should get this privilege? No. Access to driver’s license pictures should remain highly restricted.

My Nickel’s Worth Conservatives care I would like to respond to Ray Powell, whose letter, “Obama’s Religion,” was published March 4. In his comments he chastises Christians and conservatives because, he believes, these groups think President Barack Obama should go to church and should be a Christian. I am a Christian conservative, and, of course it would be great if the president were a Christian. But that is not our issue at all. Our issue is Obama’s lack of candor concerning his beliefs, as what he says, he often contradicts. We see this as one more example of him trying to appease as many people as possible: the typical “finger in the wind” approach to politics. But that isn’t what I am most upset with in Powell’s letter. Powell links concern for the poor, sick and downtrodden with liberalism, making the statement that the writings of Jesus could not be “interpreted any other way.” Excuse me, but that is as narrowminded as anyone could be. Because conservatives approach the issues of the poor from a different angle, it does not mean we don’t care. Quite the opposite. Surveys have shown conservatives to be more generous in contributions to charitable causes than liberals. We simply believe there are better alternatives to address multigenerational welfare and unemployment. I end with the old Chinese saying “Give a person a fish, and you feed him for the day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” Daniel Green Bend

TV automobile ads set a bad example As I flip channels, trying to find a program that doesn’t display bullets in the head, it is no wonder to me also to see the police blotter reports of juvenile crime. Through television, teens learn the latest crime techniques, how to get legal defenses and just how vulnerable the public really is. Now we have added a whole new dimension — the latest automobile ads. Not that our young people even need encouragement to violate speed laws and kill innocent people on the road — just watch local television and tally the number of accidental road deaths caused by young people under the influence or just full of derring-do. Mercedes stresses all the things its cars will do in case of an accident — then displays its latest models doing high-speed wheelies, but stressing that you shouldn’t do that. Now Cadillac has the very latest — a model that will do 190 mph — and it actually shows you the car doing it! What over-hyper teen whose parents can afford one of these monstrosities isn’t drooling at the prospect of running away from state police — not at 190, but how about 130 or 140 — Daddy will pay the fine. What do these car companies think they are teaching America? I know what they are teaching our generation — don’t support those dealers! How about another Hayes board — isn’t it time for a review and some

control over television? Russell B. Williams Sisters

Bulletin got records it should not have (Editor-in-Chief) John Costa, “Methinks thou protests too much.” The Bulletin got caught obtaining information from the Deschutes County Personnel Department in the form of job applications containing personal information that no member of the general public would have been privy to. And if not unlawful on your part, you may have caused someone in the personnel office to commit an act or acts contrary to existing state statutes. And now you’re trying to defend what you did by trying to demonize District Attorney Patrick Flaherty. Why should The Bulletin enjoy any more rights to restricted information than the average citizen? You also seem to forget that the newly elected district attorney has the right to staff his office with assistant district attorneys and staff of his own choosing. The former DA exercised those very same rights over his long tenure. Why then would you behave as though the new DA doesn’t have the same privilege? You are acting like the proverbial kid who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and then asking the question, “Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?” This may not be a fight you want to pick.

The operation in Libya is war by professor WASHINGTON — resident Obama is proud of how he put together the Libyan operation. A model of international cooperation. All the necessary paperwork. Arab League backing. A Security Council resolution. (Everything but a resolution from the Congress of the United States, a minor inconvenience for a citizen of the world.) It’s war as designed by an Ivy League professor. True, it took three weeks to put this together, during which time Moammar Gadhafi went from besieged, delusional (remember those youthful protesters on “hallucinogenic pills”) thug losing support by the hour — to resurgent tyrant who marshaled his forces, marched them to the gates of Benghazi and had the U.S. director of national intelligence predicting that “the regime will prevail.” But what is military initiative and opportunity compared with paper? Well, let’s see how that paper multilateralism is doing. The Arab League is already reversing itself, criticizing the

use of force it had just authorized. Amr Moussa, secretary-general of the Arab League, is shocked — shocked! — to find that people are being killed by allied airstrikes. This reaction was dubbed mystifying by one commentator, apparently born yesterday and thus unaware that the Arab League has forever been a collection of cynical, warring, unreliable dictatorships of ever-shifting loyalties. A British soccer mob has more unity and moral purpose. Yet Obama deemed it a great diplomatic success that the League deigned to permit others to fight and die to save fellow Arabs for whom 20 of 21 Arab states have yet to lift a finger. And what about that brilliant U.N. resolution? • Russia’s Vladimir Putin is already calling the Libya operation a medieval crusade. • China is calling for a cease-fire in place — which would completely undermine the allied effort by leaving Gadhafi in power, his people at his mercy and the country partitioned and condemned

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER to ongoing civil war. • Brazil joined China in that call for a cease-fire. This just hours after Obama ended his fawning two-day Brazil visit. Another triumph of presidential personal diplomacy. And how about NATO? Let’s see. As of this writing, Britain wanted the operation to be led by NATO. France adamantly disagreed, citing Arab sensibilities. Germany wanted no part of anything, going so far as to pull four of its ships from NATO command in the Mediterranean. Italy hinted it might deny the allies the use of its air bases if NATO can’t get its act together. France and Germany walked out of a NATO meeting on Mon-

day, while Norway had planes in Crete ready to go but refused to let them fly until it had some idea who the hell is running the operation. And Turkey, whose prime minister four months ago proudly accepted the Gadhafi International Prize for Human Rights, wanted NATO to stay out of this entirely. And as for the United States, who knows what American policy is. Administration officials insist we are not trying to bring down Gadhafi, even as the president insists that he must go. Although on Tuesday Obama did add “unless he changes his approach.” Approach, mind you. In any case, for Obama, military objectives take a back seat to diplomatic appearances. The president is obsessed with pretending that we are not running the operation — a dismaying expression of Obama’s view that his country is so tainted by its various sins that it lacks the moral legitimacy to ... what? Save Third World people from massacre? Obama seems equally obsessed with handing off the lead role. Hand off to

whom? NATO? See above. The Arab League? You must be kidding. Or perhaps to “the international community,” a fictional entity about which Obama speaks both incessantly and reverently. Never modest about himself, Obama is supremely modest about his country. America should be merely “one of the partners among many,” he said Monday. No primus inter pares for him. Even the Clinton administration spoke of America as the indispensable nation. And it remains so. Yet at a time when the world is hungry for America to lead — no one has anything near our capabilities, experience and resources — America is led by a man determined that it should not. A man who dithers over parchment. Who starts a war from which he wants out right away. Good God. If you go to take Vienna, take Vienna. If you’re not prepared to do so, better then to stay home and do nothing. Charles Krauthammer is a columnist for The Washington Post.

O Obama is living in energy fantasyland G

as is well over $4 a gallon in most places in California — and soaring elsewhere as well. But are such high energy prices good or bad? That should be a stupid question. Yet it is not when the Obama administration has stopped new domestic offshore oil exploration in many American waters, curbed oil leases in the West, and keeps oil-rich areas of Alaska exempt from drilling. Last week, President Barack Obama went to Brazil and declared of that country’s new offshore finds: “With the new oil finds off Brazil, President (Dilma) Rousseff has said that Brazil wants to be a major supplier of new stable sources of energy, and I’ve told her that the United States wants to be a major customer, which would be a win-win for both our countries.” Consider the logic of the president’s Orwellian declaration: The United States in the last two years has restricted oil exploration of the sort Brazil is now rushing to embrace. We have run up more than $4 trillion in consecutive budget deficits during the Obama administration and are near federal insolvency. Therefore, the United States should be happy to borrow more money to purchase the sort of “new stable sources of energy” from Brazil’s offshore wells that we most certainly will not develop off our own coasts.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON It seems as if paying lots more for electricity and gas, in European fashion, was originally part of the president’s new green agenda. He helped push cap-and-trade legislation through the House of Representatives in 2009. Had such Byzantine regulations become law, a recessionary economy would have sunk into depression. Obama appointed the incompetent Van Jones as “green jobs czar” — until Jones’ wild rantings confirmed that he knew nothing about his job description “to advance the administration’s climate and energy initiatives.” At a time of trillion-dollar deficits, the administration is borrowing billions to promote high-speed rail, and is heavily invested in the federally subsidized $42,000 Government Motors Chevy Volt. Apparently the common denominator here is a deductive view that high energy prices will force Americans to emulate European centrally planned and state-run transportation. That conclusion is not wild conspiracy theory, but simply the logical mani-

festation of many of the Obama administration’s earlier campaign promises. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu — now responsible for the formulation of American energy policy — summed up his visions to the Wall Street Journal in 2008: “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” I think Chu is finally figuring out the “somehow.” A year earlier, Chu was more explicit in his general contempt for the sort of fuels that now keep Americans warm and on the road: “Coal is my worst nightmare. ... We have lots of fossil fuel. That’s really both good and bad news. We won’t run out of energy, but there’s enough carbon in the ground to really cook us.” In fairness to Chu, he was only amplifying what Obama himself outlined during the 2008 campaign. Today’s soaring energy prices are exactly what candidate Obama once dreamed about: “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” Obama, like Chu, made that dream even more explicit in the case of coal: “So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can — it’s just that it will bankrupt them, because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” There are lots of ironies to these Alice-in-Wonderland energy fantasies. As

the public becomes outraged over gas prices, a panicked Obama pivots to brag that we are pumping more oil than ever before — but only for a time, and only because his predecessors approved the type of drilling he has stopped. The entire climate-change movement, fairly or not, is now in shambles, thanks to serial scandals about faked research, consecutive record cold and wet winters in much of Europe and the United States, and the conflict-of-interest, get-rich schemes of prominent global-warming preachers such as Al Gore. The administration’s energy visions are formulated by academics and government bureaucrats who live mostly in cities with short commutes and have worked largely for public agencies. These utopians have no idea that without reasonably priced fuel and power, the self-employed farmer cannot produce food. The private plant operator cannot create plastics. And the trucker cannot bring goods to the consumer — all the basics like lettuce, iPads and Levis that a highly educated, urbanized elite both enjoys and yet has no idea of how a distant someone else made their unbridled consumption possible.

The key question on Libya: Is it civil war? D THOMAS

avid Kirkpatrick, the Cairo bureau chief for The Times, wrote an article from Libya on Monday that posed the key question, not only about Libya but about all the new revolutions brewing in the Arab world: “The question has hovered over the Libyan uprising from the moment the first tank commander defected to join his cousins protesting in the streets of Benghazi: Is the battle for Libya the clash of a brutal dictator against a democratic opposition, or is it fundamentally a tribal civil war?” This is the question because there are two kinds of states in the Middle East: “real countries” with long histories in their territory and strong national identities (Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Iran); and those that might be called “tribes with flags,” or more artificial states with boundaries drawn in sharp, straight lines by pens of colonial powers that have trapped inside their borders myriad tribes and sects that not only never volunteered to live together but have never fully melded into a unified family of citizens. They are Libya, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The tribes and sects that make up these more artificial states have long been held together by the iron fist of colonial powers, kings or military dictators. They have no real “citizens” in the modern sense. Democratic rotations in power are impossible because each tribe lives by the motto “rule or die” — either my tribe or sect is in power or we’re dead. It is no accident that the Mideast democracy rebellions began in three of the real countries, Iran, Egypt and Tunisia, where the populations are

FRIEDMAN modern, with big homogenous majorities that put nation before sect or tribe and have enough mutual trust to come together like a family — “everyone against dad.” But as these revolutions have spread to the more tribal/sectarian societies, it becomes difficult to discern where the quest for democracy stops and the desire that “my tribe take over from your tribe” begins. In Bahrain, a Sunni minority, 30 percent of the population, rules over a Shiite majority. There are many Bahraini Sunnis and Shiites — so-called sushis, fused by intermarriage — who carry modern political identities and would accept a true democracy. But there are many other Bahrainis who see life there as a zero-sum sectarian war, including hard-liners in the ruling Al Khalifa family, who have no intention of risking the future of Bahraini Sunnis under majority-Shiite rule. That is why the guns came out there very early. It was rule or die. Iraq teaches us what it takes to democratize a big tribalized Arab country once the iron-fisted leader is removed (in that case by us). It takes billions of dollars, 150,000 U.S. soldiers to referee, myriad casualties, a civil war where both sides have to test each other’s power and then a wrenching process, which we midwifed, of Iraqi sects and tribes writing their own con-

stitution defining how to live together without an iron fist. Enabling Iraqis to write their own social contract is the most important thing America did. It was, in fact, the most important liberal experiment in modern Arab history because it showed that even tribes with flags can, possibly, transition through sectarianism into a modern democracy. But it is still just a hope. Iraqis still have not given us the definitive answer to their key question: Is Iraq the way Iraq is because Saddam was the way Saddam was or was Saddam the way Saddam was because Iraq is the way Iraq is: a tribalized society?

All the other Arab states now hosting rebellions — Yemen, Syria, Bahrain and Libya — are Iraq-like civilwars-in-waiting. Some may get lucky and their army may play the role of the guiding hand to democracy, but don’t bet on it. In other words, Libya is just the front end of a series of moral and strategic dilemmas we are going to face as these Arab uprisings proceed through the tribes with flags. I want to cut President Barack Obama some slack. This is complicated, and I respect the president’s desire to prevent a mass killing in Libya. But I think we need to be more cautious. What made the Egyptian democracy movement so powerful was that they owned it. The Egyptian youth suffered hundreds of casualties in their fight for freedom. We should be doubly cautious of intervening in places that could fall apart in our hands, a la Iraq, especially when we do not know, a la Libya, who the opposition groups really are — democracy movements led by tribes or tribes exploiting the language of democracy. Finally, sadly, we can’t afford it. We have got to get to work on our own country. If the president is ready to take some big, hard, urgent decisions, shouldn’t they be first about nationbuilding in America, not in Libya? Shouldn’t he first be forging a real energy policy that weakens all the Gadhafis and a budget policy that secures the American dream for another generation? Once those are in place, I will follow the president “from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.”

Why liberals should back Social Security reform By Robert Pozen Special to The Washington Post

iberals should not be fighting Social Security reform — they ought to be leading the charge for change, for a simple reason: The program is no longer progressive. Contrary to popular opinion, the structure of federal retirement programs today favors middle and high earners over less well-off retirees. The notion of Social Security as progressive is based on the criterion of annual benefits received per dollar of contributions. By that measure, the program offers a more generous return to those who earn less and therefore contribute less. But a more accurate measure of the program’s distributional impact is total lifetime benefits received by workers at different wage levels. By this standard, Social Security is not progressive because low-wage workers live on average a few years less than wealthier workers. This gap in life expectancy is likely to increase over the next few decades as the costs of breakthrough medical therapies rise. In addition, the gap

will have a greater impact on lifetime benefits as the normal retirement age edges up to 67 by 2027. This is why any further increases in the normal retirement age should include special protections for low-wage workers, especially those engaged in physical labor. Another indication of Social Security’s lack of progressivity is how much of the U.S. wage base is subject to Social Security taxes. Historically, these taxes have applied to about 90 percent of wages. During the past two decades, however, that level has fallen and is now close to 85 percent — meaning that better-paid workers are not paying as much in Social Security taxes as they have been called on to in the past. In concrete terms, Social Security taxes apply to the first $106,800 of earnings. But if the amount were increased to the historical benchmark, the first $170,000 of a worker’s earnings would be taxed. As a practical political matter, it is doubtful that Congress would impose the full Social Security tax — 12.4 percent (half paid by the employer and half by the employee) — on all wages

up to $170,000 annually. Nevertheless, to make the program more progressive, Congress might impose a surcharge — for example, 1 or 2 percent, on all wages over the current ceiling, up to $1 million per year. Moreover, the progressivity of Social Security should be looked at in the broader context of federal support for retirement savings. The federal government confers more than $100 billion in tax benefits each year on participants in employer-sponsored retirement programs. These benefits flow almost entirely to middle and high earners, who generally participate in their employers’ retirement plans. By contrast, the employers of many low-paid workers do not offer retirement plans — and if they do, more low-wage workers do not have the financial leeway to make the necessary contributions. Because of the differential impact of these tax benefits, the overall federal approach to retirement is regressive. For Social Security to become both solvent and progressive, Congress should maintain existing benefits for low earners while slowing the growth of these

benefits for middle and high earners. Under the current schedule, because the growth in the initial level of benefits is linked to wages rather than inflation, the purchasing power of Social Security benefits is slated to rise by almost 50 percent over the next 50 years. In other words, Social Security checks will increase not only in absolute dollars but will also buy much more in goods and services. Congress could therefore gradually slow the growth of Social Security benefits for middle and high earners while still allowing these benefits to rise in terms of absolute dollars and purchasing power. Lower-wage earners would receive everything they are now promised. These benefits reforms, if applied gradually only to workers 59 and younger, would reduce by roughly two-thirds the $4.8 trillion long-term deficit of Social Security. And, as liberals ought to like, these reforms would make the program more progressive. Robert Pozen is a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

MAUREEN DOWD

Did advisers flip gender roles in talks on Libya? WASHINGTON — hey are called the Amazon Warriors, the Lady Hawks, the Valkyries, the Durgas. There is something positively mythological about a group of strong women swooping down to shake the president out of his delicate sensibilities and show him the way to war. And there is something positively predictable about guys in the White House pushing back against that story line for fear it makes the president look henpecked. It is not yet clear if the Valkyries will get the credit or the blame on Libya. But everyone is fascinated with the gender flip: the reluctant men — the generals, the secretary of defense, top male White House national security advisers — outmuscled by the fierce women around President Barack Obama urging him to man up against the crazy Gadhafi. How odd to see the diplomats as hawks and the military as doves. “The girls took on the guys,” The Times’ White House reporter Helene Cooper said on “Meet the Press.” Rush Limbaugh mocked the president and his club of “male liberals,” saying: “Of course the males were opposed. It’s the new castrati. ... They’re sissies!” Susan Rice, the U.N. ambassador and former Clinton administration adviser on Africa, was haunted by Rwanda. Samantha Power, a national security aide who wrote an award-winning book about genocide, was thinking of Bosnia. Gayle Smith, another senior national security aide, was an adviser to President Bill Clinton on Africa after the Rwandan massacre. Hillary Clinton, a skeptic at first, paid attention to the other women (putting aside that tense moment during the ’08 primaries when Power called her “a monster”). She also may have had some pillow talk with Bill, whose regrets about Rwanda no doubt helped shape his recommendation for a no-fly zone over Libya. How odd to see Rush and Samantha Power on the same side. There have been women throughout history who shattered gender stereotypes, from Cleopatra to Golda Meir to the “Iron Lady” Margaret Thatcher, whose critics on the left sniffed that she was not really a woman. As U.N. ambassador, Madeleine Albright pushed back against Colin Powell on a Balkans intervention — “What’s the point of having this superb military that you’re always talking about if we can’t use it?” she asked him — and Condi Rice pushed ahead with W. and Dick Cheney on invading Iraq. When Obama listened to his militaristic muses, it gave armchair shrinks lots to muse about. As one wrote to me: “Cool, cerebral president chooses passion and emotion (human rights, Samantha, Hillary, Susan) over reason and strategic thinking (Bob Gates, Tom Donilon). Is it the pattern set up by his Mom and Michelle — women have the last word?” White House aides smacked back hard on the guys vs. girls narrative. A senior administration official e-mailed the Politico’s Mike Allen that Power, Smith and Hillary Clinton weren’t even in the meeting where the president decided to move forward and tell Rice to seek authority at the U.N. for a no-fly zone. Maybe they were already nervous that the president was sightseeing in Rio with his own girls and watching drum performances while senators like Jim Webb and Richard Lugar were charging him with overstepping his authority in Libya, and Rep. Dennis Kucinich talked impeachment. Whatever the reason, the spinners were so afraid that the president would seem to be a ditherer chased by Furies that they went so far as to argue that three of the women were not even in the room for The Decision. So the women were in their place? Where, the kitchen? As compelling as the gender split is, it’s even more interesting to look at the parallels between Obama and W. Candidate Obama said about a possible strike on Iran, “The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” Yet both men started wars of choice with a decision-making process marked more by impulse and reaction than discipline and rigor. Webb told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC: “We have not had a debate. ... This isn’t the way that our system is supposed to work.”

Actress Dench gets A numbing trip impersonal in memoir to land of limbo cataloging productions “The Silent Land” by Graham Joyce (Doubleday, 272 pgs., $23.95)

example, she was sent to bed much earlier than her older brothers and she writes, “I remember so well going to bed and hearing them play cricket in the garden, and hearing all that life going on outside; I simply couldn’t bear it, and it’s still like that. I don’t like missing anything. ...” Then there was the time when Dench was in her early 20s and a part of the famed Old Vic Company in London playing the role of Juliet in “Romeo and Juliet.” Her parents attended every show, and once when she cried out the line, “Where are my mother and father, Nurse?” her father called out from the stalls, “Here we are, darling, in Row H.”

“And Furthermore” by Judi Dench as told to John Miller (St. Martin’s Press, 268 pgs., $26.99)

By Jessica Gelt Los Angeles Times

Although Judi Dench is perhaps best known to American film audiences for her Oscarwinning turn in “Shakespeare in Love” and for portraying “M” in the more recent James Bond movies, she is a live theater actress at heart. And it is through this sepia-toned lens that she tells the story of her life onstage in her new memoir, “And Furthermore.” The book begins with Dench as a little girl in a very theatrical family, before cataloging every role she played on stage, TV and film over her more than 50-year career. It ends with her as a famous Dame of the British Empire, 76 years old and looking forward to many future roles. Dench writes that “And Furthermore” should not be mistaken for an autobiography since John Miller covered much of her life in his 1998 biography, “Judi Dench: With a Crack in Her Voice.”

“I remember so well going to bed and A few glimpses hearing (my brothers) Clearly her family was explay cricket in the tremely close and unique. But garden, and hearing in “And Furthermore” Dench dedicates two milquetoast paraall that life going graphs to her father’s death on outside; I simply before she is off to Chapter 4, couldn’t bear it, and it’s titled, “Exciting Times at Notand Oxford.” still like that. I don’t like tingham The death of her husband, the missing anything. ...” actor Michael Williams, from

Filling in the gaps

— Judi Dench, from her memoir “And Furthermore”

Whereas Miller’s book takes a look at acting within the larger context of her life, Dench writes that this new book aims to flesh out the gaps in the earlier biography. Unfortunately those gaps are filled with encyclopedic detail about every production Dench has worked on, accompanied by lists of names of the many actors she has worked with. As a result “And Furthermore” fails to hang its prop hat on anything resembling Dench’s inner life or emotions. For fans of Dench, this is disappointing, especially since the actress is famous for taking her audience on rich emotional journeys with her work. For example, even though the book is dedicated to Dench’s daughter, Finty, and her grandson, Sammy, very little about Finty is mentioned aside from the fact that she was born. Sammy is not mentioned once, although he does appear in several of the wonderful photos that pepper the book and are drawn from Dench’s personal files. From some of Dench’s musings it is easy to gather that

these blank spots might be purposeful. Toward the end of the book she laments that there is no longer any mystery surrounding famous actors. “Why should the public know everything?” she writes. “The joy of the theater is not really going and knowing that somebody had terrible difficulty playing this part, or why they did it; it is to go and be told a story, the author’s story, through the best means possible.” Only in this instance is “And Furthermore” Dench’s story, and she the author (through ghost writer Miller). So although it’s nice to know that Dench played opposite such greats as John Gielgud, Ian McKellen, Kenneth Branagh, Anthony Hopkins and Daniel Day-Lewis, we don’t learn anything new about these great actors. Instead we long for more personal anecdotes from Dench’s life, because when we get them they are really telling, often humorous, and quite lovely. When Dench was a child, for

lung cancer is also given very little ink. (Although a good bit of detail is dished out about the pair’s popular television show, “A Fine Romance.”) Still, Dench does not come off as insensitive; you can tell that these sad events affected her deeply. But she doesn’t pause to reflect on paper. There are glimpses of what the book could have been if Dench had chosen to focus on fewer details and instead looked intently at the really important events and anecdotes. For example, she is irritated with modern audiences’ TV-induced restlessness; and hates all the “little red lights” that cellphones emit during a show even when “Definitely no photographs,” is printed in a program. The thought that audiences have changed since the late 1950s and grown to expect a completely different kind of entertainment is intriguing in and of itself. The reader’s frustration of not being let into the great actress’s life exists only because Dench — even hastily sketched — is such a charming, vivid and compelling person. We want more. In the end, however, we

The further they get from Jane Austen, the better the zombie mash-up books become. Enter “Dreadfully Ever After” by Steve Hockensmith, book three in a zombie trilogy that started with “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” which was a combination of Jane Austen’s classic novel of manners set in the early 1800s and contemporary zombie movie mania. The first in the series was “Dawn of the Dreadfuls” by Hockensmith. Here the five Bennet sisters became trained in the ninja arts to protect England from brain-chomping zombie hordes known as “dreadful.” “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” follows and is more directly based on the Jane Austen novel. Here, not only do the sisters do battle but they try to find husbands. Elizabeth Bennet meets Lord Darcy — a scion of a notable zombie-battling clan — they fall in love and marry. “Dreadfully Ever After” is

more a sequel to “Dawn” than to “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” Also written by Hockensmith, “Dreadfully” covers what happens next. Since Jane Austen did not write a sequel to her classic novel, Hockensmith has a free hand to do what he wants with the characters from the original. And what he does is entertaining. Taking up the story four years after Elizabeth Bennet has married Lord Darcy, we find the relationship having its rough spots. Darcy worries that

his wife is dissatisfied with him; she is reluctant to admit that she’s not interested in having children and wants to go back to fighting. All this is forgotten by the end of the first chapter when Darcy is bitten by a zombie, thereby dooming him to hunger for bloody flesh and oozing brains as he slowly rots away. Is there a cure? Told that there might be one, Elizabeth and her sisters — since it quickly becomes a family affair — go to London to find the antidote. In the meantime, Darcy goes back to his home where his aunt, the fearsome zombie killer Lady Catherine de Bourgh, and her daughter Anne will keep him as human as they can until Elizabeth returns with a miracle. Nothing is as it seems in either place. Toss in a royal coronation, a partitioned London with zombie-filled and zombiefree zones, various crazed aristocrats, a “Man in a Box” who has a history with the Bennets, and a huge rabbit called Brummell, and you have a romp of a Regency romance laced with graphic descriptions of meals unfit for human consumption. As for the happy ending? That depends on your point of view. Chomp!

By Mike Fischer Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Life is good for avid skiers Jake and Zoe Bennett. Vacationing in a four-star resort in Saint-Bernard-en-Haut, a sleepy Pyrenean village, they’re up early and have the slopes to themselves. “This,” a self-satisfied Zoe reflects, “was what it was all about.” But the good times don’t last in “The Silent Land,” British writer Graham Joyce’s latest novel. “With no respect for the notion of special holidays,” an avalanche buries the Bennetts. Amazingly, they both survive, only to find that both the resort and the village are deserted, presumably in anticipation of a seemingly inevitable second avalanche. And then things get weird. Candles and logs don’t burn down. Meat and vegetables left out on the counter don’t spoil. Cuts and scrapes don’t bleed. And no matter what path they take in an effort to ski free of the village, the Bennetts inevitably wind up back in Saint Bernard. It doesn’t take them long to conclude that they have died and taken up residence in limbo, an antechamber from which they await delivery to a final destination on the other side. In the interim, they try to have a good time. They ski. They drink expensive wine and cook themselves gourmet feasts. They spend a lot of time in the sauna and have a lot of sex. And they’re bored out of their minds. “Death had delivered to them an idle abundance,” Zoe reflects. “They had landed the ultimate dream of affluence, one that they weren’t sure they wanted.” There are many variations on this theme in the ensuing pages, and the best of them hit home by using pointed details to underscore all the ways we’ve grown comfortably numb. Eating, when we’re not even hungry. Watching TV — which, a morbid Jake reflects, “for the most part made him feel dead anyway.” Clicking through an Internet that “was a murky half-life of random surfing, needless messages, moronic sports chat, and porn.” And browsing through deserted stores for high-priced gear, triggering Zoe’s wry observation that “there must be more to death than shopping.” But Joyce has a tendency to package what his charac-

ters feel in bite-sized bromides about taking time to smell the flowers. “We know death is coming,” reflects Zoe, introducing a typically banal example. “And yet we always see our loved ones as taken away from us, instead of given to us for whatever time they have.” Joyce can wear a reader down by matching such neon sentiments with equally purple prose, whether it’s the “sob of the wind in the taut wires,” skis that “whispered to the powder in thrilling intimacy,” or a morning sun that “burst on his bulbous black sunglasses in an iridescent flare.” Joyce also flogs particular words and similes. “Iridescent” gets a workout. Ditto the color oyster-gray, almost invariably in relation to mist. Twice in fewer than 40 pages, snow is compared to marzipan on a wedding cake. Joyce’s frequently overwrought similes are matched by overly fraught symbols; crows and a large black stallion, for example, announce the approach of death. These faults are all the more glaring because of how fully Joyce re-creates the eerie border country that Jake refers to as “the seams between life and death.” We see most of that strange landscape through Zoe’s eyes, and her dazed wanderings there will eventually take her to an unimaginable place — one I can’t reveal without ruining the sense of mystery hovering over the entire novel, and giving its final third the pace and excitement of a psychological thriller. Those final, quickening chapters matter because Zoe’s journey of self-discovery doubles our own, raising the stakes and adding to the suspense. “I think I was asleep most of my life,” Zoe admits early on. “The Silent Land” suggests that the ultimate question — for Zoe and for us — is whether we can wake up before it’s too late.

Front seats at the revolution “Revolution: The Year I Fell in Love and Went to Join the War” by Deb Olin Unferth (Henry Holt, 212 pgs., $24)

By Carolyn Kellogg Los Angeles Times

In the 1980s, Central America was astir with civil unrest, in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua. While nation-states and their proxies intervened in various ways, individuals too got in on the action: thrill-seekers, hope-filled Communists, those inspired by the liberation theology movement in the Catholic Church. Eighteenyear-old Debbie Olin was one of the last group, sort of. In 1987, Debbie, a college freshman, dropped out with George, her senior boyfriend; the two headed south to join the revolution. That was a serious move, but the book is full of wry humor, not sloganeering, with a breeze of melancholy passing through the space where heartfelt belief had been. There were so many things back then to believe in, needing to be believed in wholly: the Communist ideal, the Christianity she’d recently espoused, and George, who brought her to Central America in the first place. “He never swore, never took drugs. At a party he was the one in the corner bending the lamp into strange shapes,” she writes. “He wasn’t outgoing and he wasn’t a leader. He was a prankster, but all his pranks were private jokes. I was the only one who laughed. To me, George was spectacular, misunderstood, brilliant.” He was also a Christian, of the liberation-theology stripe, and falling for him made Debbie quickly slough off her Jewishatheist upbringing. Throughout their travels, she and George interviewed people about ideology and religion, ostensibly for his senior project. Using connections from his mother’s evangelical church back in the U.S., they found work at an orphanage in El Salvador. Simply entering war-torn El Salvador was dangerous, and it fell to Debbie, who was fluent in Spanish, to answer soldiers’ ques-

tions. “I didn’t want to do the talking,” she deadpans. “I’d mess it up and get us killed and then get blamed for it.” Unferth reveals these feelings as the concerns of a younger girl not wanting to take responsibility for a date gone wrong. Of course, the stakes were much higher: She and George were often held at gunpoint, in places where killings were frequent. What makes this memoir so enjoyable is that she’s less interested in highlighting the dangers they faced than in exploring, with quiet understatement, her state of mind while facing them: conflicted, frustrated, confused, even wrong-headed. She was very much in love, but also beginning to feel that the life they were living wasn’t right for her. Nevertheless, she and George

got engaged. “Not everything is explainable by something else. You can love something and be afraid of it. You can want someone and want to run away from wanting them.” The two left El Salvador — which was probably for the best — and landed in Nicaragua. “The two countries were nothing alike,” she writes. “El Salvador was your basic mail-order military dictatorship: terror and torture, stuttering civilians. Nicaragua was more like a cheerful Communist kazoo concert.” With supplies for the Sandinista regime coming from the Soviet Union, left-leaning foreigners — Internacionalistas, they were called — flocked to the country, some lending real support, some holding inappropriately festive rallies. George and Debbie found work

building bicycles, then lost it. They spent afternoons at a local restaurant filled with other wannabe revolutionaries, debating politics and ideology and religion. Just as her story begins to take the shape of other expat narratives, it starts to unwind. The short chapters fall out of chronological order. Each of them has sickness and drastic fevers. They get unengaged but stay together; their connection frays. They are broke, they are hungry, she is assaulted, he is robbed. It is a shifting story of unbecoming, of unmaking, of things that can’t sustain the hope vested in them. Their relationship sustains the transition back to the U.S. but eventually falls apart. When she breaks with George, she recites the cliche of wanting to find herself. But, she writes, “It would turn out to be harder to find myself than I expected because so little of me existed to begin with.” Unferth’s unusual memoir is written with a lightness and distance that allows the book to breathe, yet by its end it has settled into a new seriousness. We learn, in short episodes, that she returns to Nicaragua again and again, for a stretch of years, seeking something she can’t name. And in writing this story, she searches out George too — a quest that provides the book with a closing mystery. There is something in Unferth’s combination of spare language and intelligent observation, her darts of emotional insight shooting through a highly personal screen, that is reminiscent of Joan Didion. That’s a lot to live up to, but the two writers share a sense of beauty and loss and get something on the page that implies something else just out of reach. Unferth can also be disarming. Writing of her time in the unrest of Central America: “Nineteen eighty-seven is the year I did nothing. The year I fought in no war, contributed to no cause, didn’t get shot, jailed or injured. ... We didn’t starve, didn’t die, didn’t save anyone either. ... We had absolutely no effect on anything that happened. The only thing that changed as a result of our presence was us.”

“Unfamiliar Fishes” by Sarah Vowell (Riverhead Books, 256 pgs., $25.95)

By Jim Higgins Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

When it comes to history, Sarah Vowell (“The Wordy Shipmates,” “Assassination Vacation”) does the homework so we don’t have to. “Unfamiliar Fishes,” her latest historical travelogue laced with humor and occasional personal digressions, describes “how Americans and their children spent the 78 years between the arrival of Protestant missionaries in 1820 and the American annexation in 1898 Americanizing Hawaii, importing our favorite religion, capitalism, and our second-favorite religion, Christianity. It is also the story of how Hawaiians withstood these changes, and how the Hawaiian ruling class willingly participated in the process.” Vowell introduces readers to such important figures as Kamehameha, who conquered the various islands and united them into the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1810; Opukaha’ia, or Henry Obookiah, the first native Hawaiian Christian, whose early death at a New England seminary in 1818 catalyzed the first American missionary expedition to the islands; and David Malo, the first real writer in the Hawaiian language who “happened to be one of the most knowledgeable keepers of the oral tradition.” Hawaii signifies “vacation” to many Americans who live on the mainland, but don’t underestimate the work ethic or intelligence of its natives.

Between 1822 and 1863, Hawaii went from “having no written language here on the islands to seventy-five percent of all Hawaiians learning to read and write in their native language,” compared, a Hawaiian historian notes, to the 1863 literacy rate in the United States of roughly 40 percent. Beyond missionaries, the other early white visitors to Hawaii were whalers. Vowell playfully describes the culture clash. Vowell sets aside humor for most of the final section, a straightforward account of how Queen Liliuokalani, Hawaii’s final reigning monarch, was deposed in 1893 by a group, including Americans and Europeans, that sought annexation by the U.S. Unfortunately, Vowell’s book has no index. The publisher is clearly underestimating the value of “Unfamiliar Fishes” as a durable historical read.

Deaths

Quake Continued from F1 Once the aftershocks are over, the slow, inexorable compression of northern Japan will renew, leading to more earthquakes. Yet it is the vertical motion of the Japanese coastline that has caused the most serious of the nation’s post-earthquake disasters, and was least anticipated by seismologists. The whole of Honshu has sunk a little — Tokyo itself by more than 4 inches and increasing northward. Starting some 50 miles north of Tokyo and extending to near the northern tip of the island of Honshu, the coastline sank not because of slumping or compaction of coastal sediments, but due to the elastic rebound toward the epicenter. These same elastic stresses 10 miles to 100 miles offshore warped a broad 10-foot to 15-foot bulge in the sea floor that gen-

erated the disastrous tsunami. Thirty minutes later the tsunami surged onshore as a wall of water up to 45 feet high. Simultaneously, a mirror image of the tsunami raced eastward at 500 mph, splashing sequentially the shores of Hawaii, and coastal communities from Alaska to Patagonia, ultimately raising sea level globally by 1/100 of an inch. The nightmare scenario now unfolding in Japan could get worse. Seismologists have documented numerous times when an earthquake in one place has stressed a neighboring area, triggering another major tremor. Have U.S. seismologists been too conservative in their estimate for future earthquakes in North America? This seems unlikely. The past 2,000 years of temblors on the San Andreas Fault reveal none that have attained an intensity of magnitude 8. The 1812 New Madrid earthquakes near Memphis, Tenn., once thought to be that strong, was downgraded

Health & Safety Hero: Fred Boos rescued a woman from a burning house

to less than 7.5. Yet this month’s megaquake is almost a template for the magnitude 9 earthquake scientists expect to rock the Oregon-Washington coastline. There the Juan de Fuca plate dives beneath the North American plate in magnitude 9 earthquakes that occur every 300 to 600 years from northern California to the Canadian border, rupturing the plate boundary. Seismologists think a magnitude 9 earthquake will simultaneously shake Vancouver, B.C., Seattle and Portland. The last one hit 300 years ago, so the next could strike immediately, or possibly not for 200 years or more. Could unexpected secondary effects accompany such an earthquake? Almost certainly, and all eyes are now on Japan to learn what impossible scenarios might now be considered plausible. Roger Bilham is a seismologist at the University of Colorado.

Repairing credit? He’s been there

ark Rooks knows how to build things. The Bend resident spent two decades crafting cabinets, but these days he’s trying to build something on which so much of people’s financial lives hinge: their credit. He’s president and 98 percent owner of a new Bend business, Pacific Credit Repair LLC. Considering the times, especially in hard-hit Central Oregon where job loss has been acute, Rooks sees an opportunity to help a lot of people turn around credit strained by a bad economy. He speaks from experience. Rooks came to Bend in 1989 and launched Design Cabinetry in 1993, mostly building cabinets for higher-end homes, jobs that averaged $35,000 to $50,000, he said. Revenues grew each year and approached $4 million at the company’s peak, he said. In late 2007, he expanded his business, launching a separate division doing millwork for a company that designed golf club locker rooms. “That’s when I maxed out at 27 employees,” Rooks said. With the new division, he operated in two buildings spanning about 12,000 square feet. Things were humming. You can probably guess the rest of the story. The recession, which officially began in December 2007, was in full force by 2008, and the business “started to plummet the other direction overnight,” Rooks said. He went from 27 employees to 23, to 18, then 15 in nine months, then closed the golf division in mid-2008. By May 2009, he had eight employees and closed everything down a month later. He dissolved his corporation in July 2009 and filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February 2010, something he never could have dreamed would happen. “It’s just kind of survival at that point,” Rooks said. His NorthWest Crossing home is going through a short sale, he received a bankruptcy discharge last May and he’s reinventing himself, pursuing a new business opportunity in credit repair. “We’ve all worked so many years … trying to get where we’re at, and to lose it in a very small amount of time, it is very painful, there’s no question,” said Rooks, 45 and a father of three. “I can sympathize with people and say it’s been a nightmare,” Rooks said. “… Just the security of a lot of things goes away.” Pacific Credit Repair hopes to reestablish people’s security, he said. He says the company’s informal motto is: “Bad things have happened to good people.” He seeks to reverse the downward spiral. “People need to start (that turnaround) with their credit,” he said. Rooks got his company’s debt management license from the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Division of Finance & Corporate Securities, last month, a process that requires a $25,000 surety bond and background check. While licensed under debt management, Pacific Credit Repair is more about trying to help people improve their credit scores to qualify for car loans, home loans, etc., and reduce high finance costs that come with poor credit. He’s not going to intercede with bill collectors. People who come to him will be those who have already basically hit bottom and need help rebuilding their scores, he said. His company doesn’t do the heavy lifting of credit repair; that’s brokered out to Credit Score Techs of Arlington, Texas, which has the resources and 25 years of experience to put to the task, he said. For example, Credit Score Techs will challenge errors on credit reports and file automatic redisputes if necessary, he said. Rooks realizes some may look askance at the industry. He says he’ll refund people’s fees if they’re not satisfied with results and believes he can build his business one referral at a time. He knows it will take time. I give him credit for sharing his story. I’m sure others can relate to him, too. For more information on debt management providers, see the state website: www.cbs.state.or.us/external/dfcs/debt_ mgmt.html.

Bend flower shop turns 100, returns to its roots By Ed Merriman

100.3 Year

Ed Merriman / The Bulletin

Doris Dilday carries an arrangement of orange, red and yellow stargazer lilies Wednesday as she prepares to move her Donner Flower Shop from downtown back to the Newport neighborhood on Bend’s west side, where the flower shop was founded in 1911 as Riverside Florists.

Donner Flower Shop is celebrating its 100th anniversary by moving back to its 1911 roots. Over the next few days, the flower shop will be moving from its current location at 909 N.W. Wall St. in downtown Bend and reopening April 1 at 605 Newport Ave., according to owner Doris Dilday, who was 39 when she went to work at Donner Flower Shop as a part-time sales clerk in 1990. “I started out working one day a week, then it became full time, and eventually I became an owner,” said Dilday, 60, who is part of the shop’s long history of female owners of the shop. Dilday, 60, bought the business in 1999 with Irene Chandler, who retired and left the area in 2005, according to Dilday. “We bought the business from JoAnn Lawrence, who had it for 33 years. She retired to Mexico, and she loves it there. We still keep in touch,” Dilday said. The move takes the flower shop back to the neighborhood where it began in 1911 as Riverside Florists, which was located at 456 Newport Ave. In a way, Dilday said, the real estate crash helped make the move back to the Newport neighborhood possible by lowering the building’s price.

The craft of cask

Edgar Nunez sprays barrels as they are heated during production at the Seguin Moreau Napa Cooperage in Napa, Calif., on March 1.

Inside the oak barrels that age fine wine By Jessica Yadegaran Contra Costa Times

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Fire crackles between the seasoned oak staves, fastened with steel hoops. As the sparks settle, the aromas float through the air — clove, cedar and vanilla. All the nonfruit characteristics you’ve ever identified in wine are coming to life here, in the warehouse of Seguin Moreau, a cooperage, or barrel making facility, in Napa, Calif. They’re actually born long before

that, as centuries-old timber in some of Europe and America’s most precious forests. Through a laborious process that includes watering and firing, coopers turn the wooden slats into oak barrels, the spice racks of winemaking. Grapes alone don’t make great wine. Juice needs a spine, and cooperages work with winemakers to customize fermentation barrels that achieve a desired wine style, whether it’s a soft pinot noir or a big chardonnay. See Barrels / G5

As phones become wallets, many have their hands out Who gets paid?

By Tara Siegel Bernard and Claire Cain Miller

The wide adoption of phones that can be used to make payments has been delayed during an ongoing battle over which companies can collect transaction fees.

New York Times News Service

Illustration by Minh Uong New York Times News Service

The cellphone has been more than a cellphone for years, but soon it could take on an entirely new role — standing in for all of the credit and debit cards crammed into wallets. Instead of swiping a plastic card at the checkout counter, consumers would merely wave their phones. There’s just one hitch: While the tech-

nology is already being installed in millions of phones — and is used overseas — wide adoption of the so-called mobile wallets is being slowed by a major behindthe-scenes battle among corporate giants. Mobile phone carriers, banks, credit card issuers, payment networks and technology companies are all vying to control these wallets. But first, they need to sort out what role each will play and how each will get paid. See Wallet / G2

Donner Continued from G1 Records at the Des Chutes Historical Museum show Riverside Florists was under the management of Mrs. Keeney in 1917. No first name was given. By 1929, a Bulletin newspaper ad shows Riverside Florists had moved to 861 Wall St. in downtown Bend, and later entries in the 1936 and 1937 Bend Business Directory show the flower shop was acquired by Grace Donner, who changed the name from Riverside Florists to Donner Flower Shop. “Riverside Florists first came downtown to 861 Wall Street — that is where it is when Grace Donner takes it over,” said Kelly Cannon-Miller, director for the Des Chutes Historical Museum. Sometime after 1946, the flower shop moved to 906 Wall St., one block north of the Tower Theatre, where Lawrence owned and operated the business from the mid-1960s until Dilday purchased it in 1999. Bonnie Burns, a volunteer museum volunteer with the Deschutes County Historical Society, said tracing women’s business ownership is more difficult when searching records before the 1970s because women were often listed only as “Mrs. so and so” with their husbands’ names. The women’s first names were often excluded. Dilday said she enjoyed uncovering historical information about the Donner Flower Shop

Wallet Continued from G1 The stakes are enormous because small, hidden fees that are generated every time consumers swipe their cards add up to tens of billions of dollars annually in the United States alone. “It all comes down to who gets paid and who makes money,” said Drew Sievers, chief executive of mFoundry, which makes mobile payment software for merchants and banks. “You have banks competing with carriers competing with Apple and Google, and it’s pretty much a goat rodeo until someone sorts it out.” In one camp are the longestablished players. Payment networks like Visa and MasterCard, along with banks that actually issue credit cards to customers, want to stay at the center of any payment system and continue to collect their fees from merchants. They are facing competition from companies they see as interlopers. These include PayPal and Google, which want to play a part in a new payment system, as well as Apple and the mobile carriers, which want to collect fees through their control of the phones themselves. In the middle — and perhaps playing a deciding role — are the retailers. They have to install terminals that accept mobile payments. Consumer advocates, meanwhile, said they were concerned that a mobile system would bring higher fees and questioned whether consumers even want a new system. “Is it possible to make a system that’s too easy to use, where you reduce so much friction from the transaction process that people aren’t necessarily aware of what they’re spending on something?” asked Jan Chipchase, executive creative director at the design firm who studies mobile payments. Credit card and technology companies have talked about mobile wallets for well over a decade. But now, finally, the pieces are starting to fall into place. “Now that we have this commitment by the handset manufacturers and telcos, I think things are looking far more promising than ever,” said Gwenn Bezard, research director at the Aite Group, a research and advisory firm focused on the financial services industry. “The question is, Are telcos and card networks and banks going to agree on anything?” Visa and MasterCard now dominate the major tracks that shuttle credit card and debit payments between banks and retailers. Retailers must

and its predecessor, Riverside Florists. “We can’t be more excited to celebrate our 100th year in business and make our move back to Newport Avenue,” Dilday said. The new location at 605 Newport Ave. also has an interesting history, according to Dilday and documents found at the Des Chutes Historical Museum and Deschutes Public Library. Historical documents show the original building at that address was built in 1926 as the home of the Kenwood Grocery Store and its manager, Leo Herbring. A May 17, 1926, Bulletin article said, “The new home of the Kenwood Grocery — one of the most modern store buildings in Bend — has been completed and was formally opened today by Mr. and Mrs. Leo Herbring, managers.” Several other businesses later occupied the building. In 1998, Michael Houser, assistant planner for Deschutes County, wrote a letter recommending the building “should be recognized for its importance to the history of Bend and its west side, not to mention it is one of the best examples I have seen of modern commercial building from the late 1920s, with delightful craftsman style home with mission style elements.” Despite Houser’s efforts to pursue listing the building on the National Register of Historic Places, Cannon-Miller said that didn’t happen, and the building is not registered as historic.

Retail receipts going digital

Ozier Muhammad / New York Times News Service

A phone is used to pay for items at a Duane Reade store in New York on Feb. 15. pay the banks issuing the cards a percentage of each transaction, and payment networks like Visa take a small cut. So for every $1 spent by a consumer, the retailer keeps about 97 cents, the card-issuing bank takes nearly 2 cents and the remaining penny goes to the merchant’s bank handling the transaction and the payment network. With mobile payments, it is still unclear how all the players will get paid or if any of the costs will trickle through to consumers, perhaps through new fees. Mobile carriers may demand that the card issuers pay them something akin to rent, or reach some other agreement, to store important payment credentials on a secure piece of the chip inside the phone. There are several technologies that allow phones to communicate wirelessly with other technologies, though the front-runner for payments is one called near-field communication, or NFC. “I think watching the industry evolve will determine where we need to go,” said Peter Ho, product manager for Wells Fargo’s card services and consumer lending, adding that the banking industry’s past conversations with mobile carriers had not been fruitful because they could not agree on financial terms. The mobile carriers’ frustration with the banks, some analysts said, was the impetus behind a joint venture by Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Discover to create their own mobile wallet. The venture, known as Isis, is expected to introduce its system next year. The banks and credit card issuers, meanwhile, have found a way to temporarily avoid working with the cellphone carriers. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bancorp and JPMorgan Chase, working with Visa, are all in various stages of testing wallets that would provide access to some of their own credit or debit cards. Because

More recently, the building at 605 Newport Ave. housed Azila Nora Gift Shop, Dilday said. Since she started moving into the building, Dilday said, she’s been told a room in the basement paneled in knotty pine was a speak-easy that operated underneath the grocery store during the Prohibition era, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. “I don’t have any historical documentation that there was a speak-easy in the basement, but I think it adds to the mystique,” Dilday said. For Dilday, working in and owning a flower shop was a big change from her prior work experience as a chimney sweep in a family business she and her former husband, Paul Dilday, founded in Bend shortly after they arrived here in 1977. But the change has been a beautiful and emotionally rewarding experience, she said. “Being around flowers I think is just the best,” Dilday said. “Flowers are emotional. You have happy occasions like people falling in love, weddings and anniversaries, birthdays and Mother’s Day, and sad occasions such as illnesses and funerals. “I like the fact you can be very, very personal with people,” Dilday said. “I want to know my customers. I want to know their names and have that small-town friendship.” Ed Merriman can be reached at 541-617-7820 or emerriman@bendbulletin.com.

their model is powered by a chip that consumers insert into a slot in certain phones, it does not require the cooperation of the mobile operators. Apple and Google already have payment systems — Apple’s iTunes has 200 million accounts tied to credit cards, while Google Checkout has been less popular. Both could be turned into mobile wallets, allowing users to pay for offline purchases with their Apple or Google accounts. But they would need access to the cellphone chips and the merchants’ terminals. Apple could make its own cellphone chips to make this all happen, but Google could not because it makes only Android cellphone software, not the phones themselves. Getting retailers on board is important to the widespread adoption of the mobile payments because many merchants will have to replace their card terminals. While one analyst estimated, conservatively, that only 5.9 percent of merchants will accept mobile payments by 2015, Bezard of Aite Group said that many of the large retailers — including

ATLANTA — Leigh Eigel popped into Lenox Square’s Apple Store for a computer tune-up and left with an impulse buy — a car charger for her iPhone. But when she realized her husband already had one, she took it back the next day. A few finger swipes across her iPhone called up the emailed receipt, and a store employee scanned the bar code from her screen to accept the return. “It is crazy to print paper when you don’t have to with the technology,” Eigel said. “It seems more convenient to whip out your smartphone. You don’t have to rifle through your purse looking for a receipt.” Retailers have been exploring the idea of digital receipts for at least a decade. Several years ago, Apple made it a near-standard practice — it issues a printed receipt upon request — while retailers in other industries ranging from grocery to apparel have begun moving in that direction. Avis and Marriott are among the larger companies that have ventured into the digital receipt arena, and Kmart offers the choice. Last year, Best Buy and the Container Store partnered with Intuit to store digital receipts for consumers (an iPhone app lets you manage receipts on the go). Eigel said she is accus-

McDonald’s, Home Depot and CVS — already had the terminals and thus could take part whenever the payment network was figured out. And, he said, 80 percent of consumer transactions occur at the top 200 merchants. Mobile payments have taken off more readily in other countries, using a variety of technologies. In Africa, where many people do not have credit cards, mobile phones have often replaced cash.

tomed to receiving receipts via e-mail for online purchases, but Apple is the only brickand-mortar retailer in Atlanta she frequents that is truly paperless. For Eigel and some other consumers, the green aspect of paperless transactions is key to their motivation, while for retailers the ability to capture and use consumer information in new ways has increased the appeal of going digital. In 2009, Atlanta-based Transaction Tree began educating retailers about digital-receipt systems. The firm works with a number of retailers, including specialty merchants and grocery stores, CEO Jason Shapiro said. In addition to building digital-receipt programs for point-of-sale companies, Transaction Tree manages every aspect of digital receipts for retailers — e-mailing and storing digital receipts, allowing consumers to access those receipts and developing marketing based on purchase habits gleaned from the receipts. For example, if a grocery store has a loyalty program, Transaction Tree can embed with the program, issue a digital receipt and use that purchase information to generate automatic shopping lists or provide calories counts. —Nedra Rhone, Cox Newspapers And in Japan, people have been swiping phones at convenience stores and bus stations for several years. “Other global markets may have a single dominant mobile carrier, or a small number of banks, or a strong central bank,” said Beth Robertson, director of payments research at Javelin Strategy and Research. “And this has made it easier for them to reconcile a model.”

QUESTION: Why do we see more adults in braces

ANSWER: Bruxism, or grinding of your teeth is a very common problem. It is however a complex problem to completely understand. Until recently we were unable to prevent grinding and therefore were limited to treatment in the form of a night guard. Night guards can be effective at protecting your teeth if your grinding is just limited to night time grinding. Most people that suffer from bruxism are not limited to just night time grinding and actually have times during the day when they grind their teeth. The severity of bruxism can vary dramatically from one individual to another. Some cases are so severe that they can literally grind their teeth down to the gums.

ANSWER: Let’s face it no matter what our age, we

Grinding of your teeth is primarily a musculature problem with a neurological component. It can almost always be linked back to slight developmental problems as youngsters and is linked to the quality of the airway during our early developmental years. The results of these early developmental problems leave us with an imbalance within the muscles associated with our bite. When our teeth come together the muscles that close our bite and the muscles that open our bite should be neutral. If they are not neutral, then a muscle imbalance, or a “muscle war” starts and results in bruxism. Treatment can be in the form of a night guard if you are a mild grinder, only grind at night, and can tolerate an appliance while you sleep. If you don’t fit in this category then you need a different kind of treatment. Ideal treatment will stop your grinding and create harmony within your system. We treat moderate to severe bruxism by studying the muscles to determine the ideal position for your bite based on neutral muscles. The studies are very simple but involve sophisticated computer software and result in a very detailed understanding of why you grind. Once we have determined the problem, treatment is very predictable and usually results in the elimination of grinding. Treatment should always focus on the problem and not just the symptom.

my doctor has advised “major changes” in my life including stricter goals for cholesterol, blood pressure, and diet. Why is it that the goals have changed? ANSWER: Diabetes is an extremely complicated disease that effects your body adversely in many different ways. The most serious complications include blindness from diabetic retinopathy, heart atKevin Reuter, tacks and strokes from damage to your arteries, and M.D. kidney failure from diabetic nephropathy. Thus, patient’s with diabetes are considered “high risk” when speaking of cholesterol goals, blood pressure goals, and dietary goals. Because of this, your cholesterol levels need to be lower, your blood pressure must be controlled very tightly, and your diet must change to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed. Current American College of Endocrinology guidelines call for blood pressure values of 120/80 or less, LDL cholesterol values of 70mg/dL or less, and a Hemoglobin A1C value of 6.5% or less. I recommend that all new diabetic patients see a diabetic dietician for advice about diet and they need to see me initially every three months for fasting labs to monitor their progress and answer any questions that they may have. I would advise that you see your doctor at least this frequently during this critically important time after your new diagnosis.

ANSWER: Stress in our culture does not lend itself to good eating and digestion habits. Many ads on TV actually encourage us to “eat on the go”. From a Naturopathic perspective, heartKerie Raymond, burn may be due to not enough hydrochloric N.D. acid (HCl) in the stomach, as opposed to too much, which leaves food undigested in the stomach, leading to heartburn or GERD.

portant safety net for people. Medicare estimates that 12 million Americans will need long-term care by 2020. A study by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services reported that people who reach age 65 have a 40-percent chance of entering a nursing home.

But long-term care policies aren’t just for nursing-home coverage. They provide help with daily activities, such as bathing, dressing, using the toilet, taking medication, etc. Policies do vary. Some provide coverage for home care, assisted living, and/or nursing care. The length of time for coverage also varies. Often people are surprised at a policy’s breadth of coverage and learn that it can help them right now—either in their home or in a retirement community. Touchmark retirement counselors are well-versed in long-term care policies. If you would like a complimentary consultation, please call 541-383-1414.

L A S E R H A I R R E M O VA L QUESTION: What is the best time of the year to

conceive for over a year now without any luck, can acupuncture help?

do laser hair removal?

Acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be extremely beneficial to the fertility process. Generally, a couple is considered infertile if pregnancy has not occurred after one year of unprotected, well-timed intercourse. As an acupuncturist who specializes in treating infertility, I recommend that Marjon Faivre, both husband and wife have a thorough exam by their L.Ac., Dipl. O.M. physician to rule out any underlying diagnoses as their first step. Several conditions which impede pregnancy can be significantly improved by including acupuncture in a patient’s overall treatment plan. Examples include: endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, reduced ovarian reserve, advanced maternal age and for men: low sperm count and decreased sperm motility. Unexplained infertility, irregular menstruation, premenstrual syndrome, and general stress can also be addressed with acupuncture. Depending on the diagnosis, I may recommend that one or both partners receive acupuncture treatment. For women, I generally recommend that they complete a treatment plan of one to two acupuncture sessions per week for three consecutive menstrual cycles. For those that feel comfortable taking herbs, I highly recommend incorporating Chinese herbal formulas during these three months. Over the past six years it has brought me tremendous joy to help patients going through the fertility process. It can be a difficult and trying time in their lives, but the minute they find out that they are pregnant, it makes it all worthwhile!

Q UESTION : There was recently a article in the Bend Bulletin about tattoo as makeup. Unsterilized equipment and uneducated practitioners were listed as potential problems. Should I be concerned as I just had permanent makeup?

ANSWER: Oregon, thirteen years ago legislated the Permanent Makeup/Tattoo/Electrolysis industry to protect the practitioner and the Susan Gruber, public. Single use, disposable needles are always Certified Permanent Cosmetic Professional used in my facility and clients are required to witness, start to finish, the use of their needle. Adverse reactions such as Hepatitis, HIV, staph and strep should never be a concern when performed by a professional licensed technician. News stories should be researched to show the whole picture. So, be your own investigative reporter and check out all the facts first. Questions???? Call for a free consultation.

PERMANENT MAKEUP BY SUSAN, CPCP

E L E C T R O LY S I S QUESTION: What causes excessive hair growth and how is it done? ANSWER: If you are embarrassed by unwanted hair, you are not alone. As many as 90% of all men and women may be affected to some degree with excessive hair somewhere on their face or body. Any one, or a combination, of the following factors can cause, or add to unwanted hair growth: Tana Anderson Licensed Heredity, glandular or hormonal imbalances, Electrologist reactions to certain medications, pregnancy, normal aging process, stress and/or excessive waxing and tweezing, which, in most cases, causes the hair to come in darker, deeper, and more coarse than before. Electrolysis or Thermolysis uses high frequency waves to coagulate the tissues inside the hair follicles. A tiny pre-sterilized probe slides down along side the hair shaft, not puncturing the skin and not drawing blood, to heat the tissue surrounding the hair destroying the hair germ cells. This process goes very quickly treating many hairs in a short amount of time and covering a lot of area. After a series of treatments, set up according to the individuals needs, the follicles that have been treated cannot produce another hair for as long as you live, thus achieving permanent hair removal.

accident! What you are experiencing is caused by stress. The fact that you had an accident is naturally stressful, and some of your symptoms are caused by stress, and in turn they themselves cause stress… When experiencing stress the body releases a hormone called cortisol, which controls “fight or flight” reactions. This is functional for a short period of time. If high cortisol levels are maintained, side effects occur, including sleep disturbances, changes in thought clarity and diminished ability to focus on tasks. At Healing Bridge Physical Therapy we have therapists who specialize in reducing these symptoms and training patients in self management of their stress levels. We can aid in the treatment and understanding of the effects of both the stress and the injuries caused by the accident.

Cosmetic concerns aside, orthodontic treatment in adults is often necessary to fully restore teeth to optimal health and function. Teeth may have been worn down due to misalignment and years of clenching or grinding. If teeth were extracted due to cavities or trauma other teeth drift out of alignment leaving unsightly gaps and compromising chewing or even speech. Orthodontic treatment may be recommended by your general dentist or periodontist as the first step in restoring your bite. A referral is not necessary for a consultation.

all want to look our best. As we age, it’s normal for teeth to move forward causing crowding. Research shows if you take a group of 16-year-olds with perfectly aligned teeth, at age 35 at least 1/2 of them will show some crowding of the lower front teeth. This crowding increases with time.

QUESTION: I grind my teeth and am wondering why I grind and how I can stop? I am worried that I will grind them away. My dentist made me a guard but I take it out while I’m sleeping without knowing.

ANSWER: The best time of the year to start a series of laser hair removal is the beginning of spring. March, April and May are typically the best months to start preparing yourself for the summer months of sun. The typical mistake is to wait until the sun shines before you consider taking off that unwanted hair. It Ashley Chandler, does take a series of treatments to achieve the desired results, so it is better to start before the summer Aesthetician months. If you have a darker skin type, it is important that you have not been in the sun before laser hair removal to prevent hyperpigmentation. Laser treatments removes the hair in its “Growth phase” and individual hairs are in their growth phase at different times. This is why it is important to schedule a series of treatments to obtain permanent hair reduction. The series of treatments will be at approximately 2-6 week intervals. Unwanted or excessive body hair effects both women and men. Women often experience it on the face, the legs, under the arms or in the bikini area. For Men, the problem areas are typically the back, chest, and facial area. Laser Hair Removal is a safe, effective and affordable long-term solution to unwanted hair. Depending on the area treated, treatments can be as low as $35 per treated area. For Laser Hair Removal specials go to our website at www.enhancementcenterspa.com

FA C I A L P L A S T I C S U R G E R Y QUESTION: I’m in my mid-forties, have good skin, my neck looks good, but I can start to see my face aging. What options do I have? A NSWER : While nothing replaces the formal consultation, women and men Michael E. Villano, entering their forties usually show signs M.D. of midfacial descent, i.e. their cheeks start to sag. This is caused partly by gravity changes to the middle portion of the face and to a lesser degree, volume loss in the face. Nonsurgical options include volume replacement which subjectively has shown to “lift” the midface slightly. This tends to work well with mild cases and can be performed by a variety of illers. In more advanced stages, the endoscopic facelift, a surgical procedure, will restore the midface to a more youthful appearance.

C OV ER S T OR I ES Economic indicators of the Central Oregon Business Index The Central Oregon Business Index looks at nine variables that tend to be cyclical in nature. They reflect shifting patterns of the economy and are weighted to account for typical volatility that occurs throughout the year. After seasonal effects are taken out, the variables tend to show the direction of the economy and give the most extensive view of the economy that is available, says Timothy Duy, adjunct professor of economics for the University of Oregon and author of the Central Oregon Business Index. All figures are monthly averages for the quarter and are seasonally adjusted and estimated.

COBI Continued from G1 • Central Oregon median housing days on market dropped from 111 to 107. • The UO Index of Economic Indicators for the state improved slightly from 89.2 to 89.6. “The housing market rebounded from the third-quarter decline and will hopefully settle into a more consistent growth path in the absence of temporary tax credits,” Duy said. He said the “on again, off again homebuyers’ tax credits” pushed home sales up and then down and created volatility in the housing market during the first three quarters of 2010, but overall didn’t appear to do much to boost or drag down the average home sales figures for the year. Duy credited the rebound in home sales for the fourth quarter

in part to a higher level of distressed sales of existing homes, which occurred despite a large stock of homes on the market and low permitting activity for new construction. “Permitting activity remains very low, and a large stock of homes for sale constricts the need for new construction,” Duy said in the fourth-quarter report. In response to Duy’s COBI report, Ruth Lindley, marketing director at Economic Development for Central Oregon, said EDCO has noticed a kind of silver lining in the region’s decline in housing prices since the peak prices in 2006-07. “In 2006 and 2007, we had a lot of companies we recruited that wanted to relocate to Bend but decided not to come here because the housing prices were not affordable for their employees,” Lindley said.

and Redmond more than 50 percent below their highs, according to Bratton Appraisal Group, and a corresponding increase in the availability of houses in the $100,000 to $200,000 range, Lindley said housing prices aren’t posing a barrier to business recruitment as they did before the housing market crashed and the recession hit. In the region’s labor market, the index showed a drop in initial unemployment claims, which Duy said was one of the bright spots in the fourth quarter, as the claims had been rising throughout much of the year. “Claims are down, so people are not being laid off as quickly,” but Duy also cautioned that “hiring remains anemic.” He said the labor market data show the economy has stabilized to a point, but not enough to encourage employers to hire aggressively.

While that may have been the case in the fourth quarter, Lindley said several companies EDCO worked with in the latter part of 2010 on expansion plans are now beginning to hire and add staff. “The COBI looks backwards, so it is not showing some of the strong business development we are seeing at EDCO,” Lindley said. Central Oregon’s labor market continues to lag behind national labor trends due largely to the region’s decadelong overdependence on the housing construction industry, according to Duy. “That industry is showing few, if any, signs of recovery,” he said. Due in large part to continued weakness in the construction sector, Duy said, nonfarm payroll declined slightly in the fourth quarter, despite the slight improvement in home sales. While Visit Bend, the city’s tour-

ism-promotion agency, reported 14 consecutive monthly increases in lodging tax revenues through January, Duy said lodging tax revenues actually declined in the fourth quarter when the monthly numbers are adjusted seasonally and for inflation. Despite that fourth-quarter dip, however, Duy said lodging activity has been generally improving since hitting a low in the third quarter of 2009. Lynette Braillard, Visit Bend marketing director, said over the 12-month period from January 2010 through January 2011, the latest data available, lodging tax revenues for Bend rose 12.9 percent and Deschutes County’s rose 4.9 percent. In January 2011 alone, Bend reported a 6.6 percent increase and Deschutes County reported a 29.9 percent increase. “This is extraordinary and is not happening in other destinations, “ Braillard said Thursday.

“Bend’s tourism recovery is outpacing the state, Pacific Northwest and nation. We’re seeing growth in citywide occupancy and average daily rate, which is a good indicator that the appeal of our destination is still strong.” While the regional economy is expected to benefit from a continuing surge in the national economy, Duy said rising gas and other commodity prices cloud the outlook and may restrain the economy if the price hikes go too high. “If a commodity price shock derailed the U.S. recovery, the net impact would be negative locally,” Duy said. “The region’s growth in recent years has been driven by migration and housing, which in turn will be impacted by the strength of the U.S. economy.”

Barrels

compounds already present in the oak and help to shape the tannins, aromas and flavor profiles we associate with barrels. French oak tends to yield subtle spice notes, while American oak is responsible for those sweeter characteristics, such as vanilla. Hungarian oak is similar to French, but doesn’t carry quite the same cachet. “In a way, it’s like cooking,” said Mark Clarin, winemaker for McGrail Vineyards & Winery in Livermore, Calif. He’s also made wine at Wente Vineyards and Bonny Doon Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains. For his rich chardonnays, Clarin orders barrels with a medium toast from Canton, an American cooperage. “I get that butterscotch from their oak.” For his cabernet sauvignons, Clarin uses barrels from a variety of forest sources, both French and American. Some wineries even request hybrid barrels. Clarin prefers barrels with staves that have been aged for 36 months and that have a tight grain, which allows for a more gradual integration of oak flavors. Once the staves arrive at a cooperage, the craftsmanship begins. To assemble a barrel, a cooper fits together about 30 staves and holds them in place with steel hoops. The staves are different sizes, so this step alone can take a novice half an hour to figure out, Peltereau-

Villeneuve says. The barrel is then placed over a fire and the combination of steady, 185-degree heat and water slowly softens the wood so the staves come together with the help of a cable. At Seguin Moreau, Rosendo Leon is in charge of the next and most crucial step — toasting. He monitors the fires on 10 barrels at once, keeping in mind each winery’s requests for level of toast, from light to heavy. “There’s no cheat sheet on the amount of time it takes to achieve, say, a medium-plus toast,” Peltereau-Villeneuve explained as the multiple fires roar.

“He has a feel for it and everything that contributes to it — the temperature and humidity in the warehouse, the level of fire, how the wood changes color.”

Continued from G1 With the exception of mechanized sanding and a few quality control operations, the art of wine barrel making hasn’t changed much in 2,000 years. The monetary value has. Barrels are expensive, and they don’t last long. They’re relegated to the garden after about five years of use. At the few French cooperages with Napa Valley facilities, such as Seguin Moreau and Calistoga’s Nadalie USA, American oak barrels with lumber originating from forests in Missouri and Pennsylvania run about $400; Eastern European barrels cost close to $700, and the highly coveted French oak barrels from the forests of Vosges and Troncais fetch nearly $1,000. “It’s not that the French oak barrels are better,” said Francois Peltereau-Villeneuve, of Seguin Moreau, standing in the middle of the warehouse where workers are making barrels. He has to yell over the sound of bung holes being drilled. “They just have different characteristics.” Those characteristics start in the forest, much like grapes in a vineyard. Once the optimal oak trees are identified, quartered, and cut into staves, they are left outside to mature with the seasons for a minimum of two years. Sun, rain and wind contribute to chemical

S D Distorted brake rotors can produce shudder By Brad Bergholdt McClatchy-Tribune News Service

I noticed my steering wheel shudders slightly when I firmly press on the brakes. I’ve never noticed this before and wonder if it could be a result of my kids using the car for a snowboarding trip the previous weekend. They tell me they used the chains and didn’t run into anything other than pushing through some deep powder. What do I do? Is this serious? Your steering wheel shudder is likely caused by distorted front brake rotors, due to heavy brake use. My assumption is the kids didn’t select a lower gear when descending one or more steep grades, using only the brakes to maintain speed, which can lead to excessive brake temperature. Brake rotors (also called discs) are typically constructed of cast iron and resemble a thick dinner plate. A caliper uses hydraulic force to clamp two brake pads containing friction material against the rotor, converting the vehicle’s kinetic energy into heat. The more stopping one does, the greater the heat produced. Excessive brake heat can cause the brake rotors to become distorted, more specifically lateral run-out (warping) and thickness variations. In both cases a vibration can result, felt in the steering wheel, brake pedal or seat of the pants as the brakes are used. I should add that in severe cases, other troubling issues can develop related to the rotors and brake pads, but we’re likely not in that territory. A slight amount of brake shudder may be considered harmless but can be annoying. In more severe cases, a loss of braking force can occur, making prompt corrective action important. The first step for a fix is a brake inspection. The rotors are checked for thickness and varia-

Acura’s wagon has room for reality (and 5 people) By Warren Brown Special to The Washington Post

Young people age. Even if passion remains, it changes. What once glowed red hot is cooled by the needs of others — young children, or parents who are no longer young. Illusion REVIEW — “You are as young as you feel” — dances with reality — a child’s schedule of extracurricular activities, the need to take Mom and Dad or Grandma or Grandpa to the doctor’s office. You need a station wagon. But that genre reminds you of vehicles once driven by your parents … or theirs. The very thought of buying one makes you feel old. You want something to take care of your personal-mobility demands without sideswiping your ego/libido. What to do? Honda, via its Acura luxury division, offers an answer: the 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon. Other car companies — Audi, BMW, Saab — have chosen a similar route in hauling younger consumers into the Age of Responsibility. They’ve offered “sport” wagons. Do not be confused. A “sport” wagon is a station wagon by another name. It is meant to haul more stuff than a four-door sedan. It is designed to carry more people than a two-door, two-seat coupe — the original car for fun, sport and … nothing else. The Acura TSX Sport Wagon is

2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon Base price: $29,610 As tested: $33,570, including $3,100 in options (onboard navigation, backup camera, parking proximity warning system) and an $860 destination charge. Type: Compact/midsize wagon with a front-mounted engine, front-wheel drive, four side doors and a rear liftgate. Engine: Standard engine is a 2.4-liter, 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine with variable valve lift and timing (201 horsepower, 170 foot-pounds of torque). The engine is mated to a five-speed transmission that can be operated automatically or manually. Mileage: 22 mpg city, 31 mpg highway. a wagon for everything else. But it is derived from the notion that responsibility need not be limiting in the pursuit of happiness on the road. Thus, it is sleek in the manner of sport coupes and sedans in exterior styling. It is “fun to drive,” blessed with the ability to turn daily errands into pleasant road trips. It is designed and engineered for young people who have accepted the truth that aging — and all of the joys, duties and woes that come with it — is inevitable. That is not a message favored by marketers of cars, clothes and many other consumer goods. Their illusory world embraces the notion of a veritable fountain of youth, always pouring forth products that “defy age,” that can make us drive faster (or think we can drive faster) in a world laden with speed regulations and burdened by war, endangered oil supplies, population growth and increased consumption of the world’s natu-

ral resources. Marketers of the TSX Sport Wagon adhere to the “Young Forever, Ever Faster” advertising philosophy. Their TV commercials show the Sport Wagon emerging from the technical womb of the TSX “sport” sedan. Forget it. What you have here is a wellexecuted, midsize station wagon built more for safe hauling than for taking corners at exuberant speeds, engineered more for fuel economy than high-performance, fuel-consumptive driving. At the moment, for example, the TSX Sport Wagon comes only with Honda’s peppy but economical 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine (201 horsepower, 170 footpounds of torque, 22 miles per gallon in the city, 31 mpg highway). The company’s more robust 3.5-liter V-6 (280 horsepower, 254 foot-pounds of torque, 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway) is offered as an option only in the TSX sedan.

In real-world terms, it all means not much. You can get a speeding ticket as quickly in a TSX Sport Wagon as you can in a TSX sedan equipped with a 3.5-liter V-6. But you can carry more stuff in the TSX Sport Wagon, which has usable cargo space of 60.5 cubic feet, compared with a bit more than 14 cubic feet in the sedan. The wagon and sedan offer all currently available electronic communications and entertainment systems. You can bring your iPad, iPod, iPhone and laptop with you. Both the wagon and sedan have front-wheel drive. Both cajole their drivers to use premium gasoline for “best performance,” which means both can run well on regular grades, without fear of engine damage, if pump prices continue rising in the United States.

tions in thickness, as well as for cracking, scoring and hot spots. If found to be in good condition and there’s sufficient thickness remaining, rotors can be resurfaced, either on or off the vehicle. Resurfacing the rotors involves using a lathe to remove a small amount of metal from each side, restoring a true, smooth surface. Rotors must have sufficient thickness to properly dissipate heat. Wear and previous resurfacing, or machining, can result in a rotor not being thick enough to machine or reuse. In this case, replacement is the only option. Depending on the vehicle, replacement rotors can run about $100-400 per pair — avoid the cheap ones. At the time of rotor correction or replacement, it makes sense to also renew the brake pads, regardless of their remaining thickness. If the rotors became hot enough to become distorted, the brake pads have likely seen better days. Also, since the calipers need to come off to access the rotors, it would only take a couple of extra minutes to swap in new pads. Here’s my rule of thumb for preserving brakes on descending grades: Select a lower gear if more than three brake applications, lasting for longer than three seconds each, are needed within a span of a few minutes to maintain a safe speed. In a lower gear, the engine will provide hold-back, reducing or even eliminating the need to use the brakes. Third gear provides helpful hold-back for most vehicles in the 30- to 50-mph range, and second gear works well in the 20- to 40-mph range.

Soaring gasoline prices led Susan Sylvest to consider giving up her 2007 GMC Yukon — fondly named “Betsy” — for a smaller vehicle. “At first blush, it seems like a really great idea — sell my beast and buy a puppy,” said Sylvest, who makes a 45-mile round-trip commute daily from her Coppell, Texas, home to her Dallas office. But after crunching the numbers, Sylvest, a partner at financial planning firm Murphy & Sylvest LLC, discovered the savings she would derive from driving a more fuel-efficient vehicle would be outweighed by several costlier factors. So she’s sticking with Betsy. Many consumers may be contemplating a similar change as gasoline prices continue their often-daily march upward in the face of turmoil in the Middle East. But even when gas hits $4 a gallon and fill-ups cost $100, most consumers should resist the urge to quickly trade in their gas guzzler on a small vehicle, several experts said. “If you have a large SUV and are wondering whether to trade it, I would say absolutely not unless something dramatic has changed in your life — like the miles you drive daily,” said Jesse Toprak, vice president of industry trends at TrueCar.com. “You’re trying to buy something that’s hot and trade something that’s not — which is

not a good scenario.” Do the math, say the experts, and factor in more than just gas costs. Take what you pay monthly for your current vehicle, including insurance, and compare it with the monthly costs of a new vehicle. Say you drive a Suburban that averages 15 miles per gallon and you commute a total of 30 miles daily to and from work. At $4 a

gallon, your daily gas cost is $8. If you traded the Suburban for a small sedan that averaged 30 mpg — probably accepting too little for the Suburban and paying too much for the car — your gas savings would be $4 a day, about the cost of a gourmet espresso drink. And you’d no doubt also be facing a monthly car payment and higher insurance costs.

Toward a More Perfect Garden t’s that time of year when backyard gardeners ache to till the earth, planting fruits and veggies they can munch on all summer long. As it turns out, that urge couldn’t be more American. According to Founding Gardenegf ers, a book by Andrea Wulf out this week, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison were almost as obsessed with what to plant as they were with how to govern. During his years at Monticello, Jefferson tried his hand at 170 types of fruits and 330 varieties of herbs and vegetables, including lettuce, peas, spinach, peppers, eggplant, asparagus, and okra. While he brought some of these with him to D.C., Jefferson wasn’t the first White House gardener. That honor goes to John Adams, who plowed and fertilized a parcel of the land in 1800. And any visitor to Mount Vernon knows of Washington’s passion for plants. Besides nurturing his ornamental gardens, he tended grapes, apples, peaches, cherries, and plums. Even Benjamin Franklin got into the spirit of things, arranging for the exchange of seeds and roots between France and America. The founding gardeners were also quite happy to get down and dirty. While in London, Adams once jumped into a mound of fertilizer, declaring proudly that his dung pile at home was better. Now that’s patriotism! —Joanne Kaufman

name will always come after Tiger Woods’s. He is the anti-Tiger, though not because he’s gracefully weathered the obstacles life has thrown at him while Tiger is still stinging from self-inflicted wounds. He’s the anti-Tiger because on the course he plays a mildmannered, sometimes bumbling Clark Kent to Woods’s Superman. And fans love him for it. He never looks chiseled, never seems invincible, and—despite 38 PGA wins—has never been No. 1 in the world. He’s been faulted for taking too long to win his first major (in his 12th year as a pro) and for making too many suicidal shots at critical moments. But throughout his nearly 20year professional career, he has had the same caddie, the same manager, and the same wife. Bones recalls the day in 1993 when Mickelson told him he had just met a young woman named Amy McBride: “I knew within 10 minutes that she was the woman he was going to marry.” Mickelson kind of melts when he recalls that first meeting, which included playing tennis and talking about how neither of them wanted a 8 • March 27, 2011

serious relationship. “I tried to deny it. Three or four months later, I just knew I wanted to be with her.” After 18 years together, that’s still true. “Phil is so in love with Amy,” his mom says. “He’ll stand there just staring at her like he’s meeting her for the first time, and she’s the same way with him. It’s neat being around them.” David Feherty, CBS golf analyst and a former tour professional, has walked many courses with Amy. “Before she got sick, she was omnipresent: Wherever Phil was, that’s where she would be. I’ve watched her out there trudging through the worst weather imaginable with her umbrella.” Mickelson will tell you that his favorite day is one on which he and Amy have a date. “I didn’t

need all this to happen to know how lucky I am to have her in my life,” he says. “She constantly challenges me to be a better person, a better husband, a better father, a better golfer.” By his own account, the golfer struggled with his game much of last year (but still ended 2010 fourth in the Official World Golf Ranking), and he’s eager for a new start. “I’d like to make 2011 the year I thought I would have in 2010.” Golf can be a cruel game, but Mickelson has proven his resilience. Case in point: the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot, when he stood on the final tee with a one-shot lead and proceeded to unleash a series of cringeworthy shots that resulted in a double bogey and cost him the tournament. Sheer agony, but here’s Mickelson’s story of what happened after: “My daughter Amanda and I [found a quiet] corner to snuggle, and she said, ‘Are you okay, Dad?’ and I said, ‘Well, I’m a little disappointed. This was a tournament I dreamt of winning as a kid, and I haven’t yet.’ And she said, ‘Well, second is pretty good, Dad. Can I get you a piece of pizza?’ “It was kind of a bigger-picture perspective,” he says, beaming with fatherly pride. Two days later, Mickelson called Bones to suggest that they take their families to Disneyland. “This was a guy who had had a pretty bad day at work, who was a big focus of the sport world for the next couple of days, and he decided to go to a place where there’s 100,000 people walking around. His mind-set was: ‘It’s time to move on. I know my wife loves me, I know my kids love me, I can’t wait to tee it up next time.’ It stung— and then we went to Disneyland.” Fun is part of Mickelson’s work ethic. In his book One Magical Sunday, he recalls the time when he was 8 and his father made him put his clubs away after he slammed one down in frustration. It didn’t appear, Dad said, that Phil was

Mickelson, who says he had no idea what PA was before he was diagnosed, credits his recovery to his own doctor’s swift intervention. “If you’re experiencing the symptoms I had—pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints—see a rheumatologist. There are a lot of treatment options that can be effective.” For more information about PA, go to oncoursewithphil.com.

disease that attacks the joints and has no cure. Mickelson is quiet for a moment, taking stock of all that’s happened in the past two years. Then he says, “Amy and I have always said we wanted to grow old together. We just didn’t know old was going to be 38 and 40.” He can almost make light of it now, but the news about his wife was devastating. “Early on, he told the press that sometimes he’d be driving and just start crying,” says Jim “Bones” Mackay, Mickelson’s caddie going on 20 years. “That’s an amazingly powerful thing for him to say. Part of why he’s successful is that he plays completely without fear. He’s a bulletproof kind of golfer. So for him to say that speaks to how incredibly scary this entire experience was.” Says Mickelson’s mom, who learned of her own cancer two days before she took the three Mickelson kids (Amanda, 11; Sophia, 9; and Evan, 8) from their home in San Diego to visit Phil and Amy at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston: “He always takes charge and takes care of. This time, he tried, but he couldn’t make it all better.”

having any fun. One hole later, Phil asked if he could play again. “Dad,” he said, “I think I can have fun now.” And for Mickelson, fun usually involves taking chances. “The reason he’s so magnetic to fans is that Phil has this beautiful flaw,” Feherty says. “He’s capable of mercurial brilliance, but at any given moment, he can make the sort of mistake the guy sitting at home would.” Maybe Mickelson can handle that unpredictability because he’s so predictable off the course. He’s the husband who always calls his wife after a round. He’s the dad who’ll fly home on a Saturday night (as he did last month at Pebble Beach), even when he’s in contention to win the next day (as he was), so he can attend his daughter’s dance recital. “My family has reduced the effect of my career on my self-esteem,” he says. “When I’m with them, they make me feel special regardless of how I play.” The Mickelsons’ return to the Masters should present a happier version of the new normal, whether it ends in another celebratory embrace or not. After all, Augusta is where Mickelson’s had some of his sweetest golfing moments. “Phil is like the human equivalent of that golf course: You have to watch every single shot,” Feherty says. “You never know what’s going to happen.” Translation: If you’re not perfect at the Masters, you can still win. And if there’s one guy who’s capable of stunning imperfection on the golf course, it’s Mickelson.

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones become thin and weak, increasing the chance of having a broken bone. Osteoporosis usually causes no symptoms until a fracture happens. The most common fractures are in the spine (backbone). They can shorten height, even without causing pain. Over time, the spine can become curved or deformed and the body bent over. Fractures from osteoporosis can also happen in almost any bone in the body, for example: the wrist, rib, or hip. Once you have had a fracture, the chance for more fractures greatly increases. The following risk factors increase your chance of getting fractures from osteoporosis: • Past broken bones from osteoporosis • Very low bone mineral density (BMD) • Frequent falls • Limited movement, such as using a wheelchair • Medical conditions likely to cause bone loss, such as some kinds of arthritis • Taking steroid medicines called glucocorticoids, such as prednisone • Other medicines that may cause bone loss, for example: seizure medicines (such as phenytoin), blood thinners (such as heparin), high doses of vitamin A What can I do to treat osteoporosis? There are many steps you can take to treat osteoporosis. Taking Prolia, along with calcium and vitamin D, may be one option for you.

ussell brand is

known for big hair, tight pants, bawdy humor, and making life a teenage dream for his wife, Katy Perry. But this 35-year-old British comedian is a romantic at heart—he’s even keeping tabs on the royal wedding (“I wonder what she’ll wear?” he muses). In April, he has two big movies opening: He’s the voice of E.B., the next Easter Bunny, in Hop, and he stars in the remake of Arthur. Brand talks to Mary Margaret about life on this side of the pond.

Does the bunny in Hop look like you? I think there are some fac facial expressions and de dental similarities. Other th than that, it’s a creation of tthe brilliant animators.

PARADE Have you gotten used to

living in Los Angeles? I passed my driver’s license test! My friend Danny says I drive like I’m at a funeral: sensible and calm. How do you unwind on Sundays? I hang out with my wife. I like to read, play with our cat, and watch English football. I have a pair of West Ham United slippers and some stripey thermal long johns I romp around in. Very comfy stuff. What about your tight pants— are they ever hard to get off? Never too much trouble. You can have zippers fitted at the ankle— they can be helpful. If you have trouble getting pants off, that’s excessive. Once it’s restrictive, you’re out of fashion and into bondage. What’s the best thing about being married?

Russell Brand This bad-boy Brit has mellowed— he’s into cats, kids, and keeping fans laughing

in your life. I didn’t come from a big family, so building a family is important to me. Some of my friends have children, and they take your life to different places. That’s something I want to be as involved in as possible, especially once they start laughing and doing stuff. Do you like making kids’ movies? I do. Children live in a world

where there is a lot of imagination and freedom, and that’s a nice place to inhabit as a comedian. What would we be surprised to know about you? That I’m really kind of shy and normal when I’m at home. All the showing-off stuff is about work.

Was it hard playing a drunk in Arthur now that you’re sober? It was difficult, yeah. That was one of the areas I had to work on a lot. I carried a bottle of booze on set and smelled it while we were doing those scenes. [Director] Jason Winer and I had a code for the level of drunkenness in a particular scene: from one to four, one being a little buzzed and four being sloshed. But it’s not a tragic portrayal of a drunken man; it’s not like Leaving Las Vegas. You worked with Helen Mirren on both Arthur and The Tempest. Did you bond through humor? She could get along with anybody, but, yeah, I think we connected with humor. She has a beautiful work ethic and doesn’t make a fuss about anything. I’ve never met anyone more worthy of the title Dame. Now that you’re doing films, is this the end of Russell the comedian? No, I love stand-up more than anything. If you’re talking, why not make people laugh? March 27, 2011 • 15

Wolfgang’s Tips

Hot Potatoes! Wolfgang Puck, the ruler of a food empire, cherishes this side dish from his Austrian childhood

My family was not very well-off. We had meat maybe once a week; mainly we ate noodle dishes or what we grew in the garden. For Sunday lunches, we sometimes had pork Wiener schnitzel with a warm potato salad, which was my favorite meal. My mother made it perfectly. I liked it so much, I’d save part of it for that night’s dinner, too— so I could enjoy it longer.

After we opened Spago in Beverly Hills years ago, I put Wiener schnitzel and potato salad on the menu. It was so popular I couldn’t take it off! My sister orders it when she visits from Austria. She says it’s better at the restaurant than back home. I always like to have some fun with her. When she asks the waiter, “Can I have a Wiener schnitzel?” I tell him, “Say we are out for the whole week!”

P“You have to have the correct potatoes for this to taste right. Fingerlings are very good in salad because they’re waxy. Don’t use baking potatoes.”

Warm Potato Salad THE MARINADE

1 cup white-wine vinegar ¼ cup peanut oil (substitute canola oil if desired) 1½ tsp kosher salt ½ tsp fresh black pepper 3 Tbsp sugar 1 small yellow onion (¼-inch dice) 1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme THE POTATOES

1 lb ﬁngerling potatoes, washed 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 sprigs fresh parsley 2 Tbsp kosher salt

1. Whisk together marinade ingredients in a bowl. 2. In a large saucepan, combine potatoes, garlic, parsley, and salt. Add enough water to just cover potatoes; bring to a boil. Lower to simmer; cook about 8 minutes. Strain and cool. 3. Slice potatoes into ¼-inchthick rounds. Add to marinade; let sit 20 minutes. 4. Transfer to a sauté pan and cook over high for 30 seconds. Serve with Wiener schnitzel. SERVES: 4 PER SERVING: 260 calories, 32g carbs,

3g protein, 14g fat, 0mg cholesterol, 1,170mg sodium, 2g ﬁber

P“If you’ve never had an Austrian wine, this dish gives you a good reason to try one. I like Austrian whites with my Wiener schnitzel. Look for inexpensive Chardonnays, Rieslings, and sauvignon blancs.”

Take Me Out to the Ball Game Spring is here, and Americans’ thoughts turn—once again—to baseball

hen the game

was over, I stood with a bunch of kids outside Yankee Stadium, waiting to get autographs. The Indians’ Bob Feller burst through the door, a losingpitcher’s scowl on his face, and plowed through us, muttering his irritation. Offended, I reported it to my dad, who suggested I write a letter of complaint to the New York Times. I was 10, and it was 1951. I can’t recall if the Times ran my letter, or even if I mailed it. But the incident suggests what an innocent time that was, long before big money divided fans from the stars, when players were expected to sign baseballs and chat with kids in the street. Yet even now, when a so-so reliever costs $5 million and the stadium serves quiche, baseball retains most of its innocence. Here we are, older and jaded, and still giddy as the season begins. Nothing in American life excites us this way. Of course, my “we” and “us” assume everyone loves the game, but why not? Baseball is America. It’s competitive. It’s green. And it’s such a well-made invention. Like the Constitution, baseball has balances between institutional order and individual passion. For over a century, its rules have suffered no major changes. Sixty feet and six inches is still sixty feet and six inches; the bat is the bat; the ball, the ball. Yet within that sturdy sameness, the individual goes to town. Robin-

son Cano flips the ball to first like a 95-mph fastball. Mariano Rivera locates his cutter anywhere he wants to. The Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen runs like a sprinter, and the Cardinals’ Albert Pujols hits everything a country mile. Baseball is the only major sport in which the person, not the ball, does the scoring. Huge Adam Dunn of the White Sox has batted a career .250, while Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki (170 pounds?) has batted .331. And every feat seems all the more amazing because it is accomplished within the confines of an orderly universe. The Irish writer Sean O’Faolain said that the most hopeful word in the English language is “and.” And.

Yankee great Mickey Mantle before Game Five of the 1964 World Series (which the Yanks lost to the Cardinals in seven)

And here we go again, longing for the world of pitchers and catchers and balls and strikes. And jobs are hard to come by. And mortgages are hard to pay. And the world may be full of terror and tears. And yet... There are two seasons to baseball and two seasons of emotions: the heady optimism of spring and early summer and then the dispiriting time not long after the All-Star game, when everything that was heaving with promise comes to a hard end. From April to August, baseball is Mickey Mantle as a boy with peach

fuzz, an Oklahoma twang, and knees that worked. From August to the Series, it’s the man with bloodshot eyes and a sunbaked neck, and the foolish yearning to play one year too many. No sport cherishes its memories like baseball. Will you ever forget the picture of Willie Mays’s back as he ran down Vic Wertz’s drive in the 1954 World Series? Will you forget Ted Williams’s last at-bat, how he shot around the bases after his home run and then refused to acknowledge the Boston fans, contemptuous to the end? And Stan Musial’s shy smile? And Bob Gibson’s glower? And you—will you ever forget you— tossing a ball with your mom or dad in the yard, the two of you connected by nothing but a baseball? You played “catch,” not “throw,” because in no other way were you so completely catching each other.

ob feller died last

year. I no longer wait outside Yankee Stadium, and I go to maybe three games a year. Yet I go. And I always go early, to watch batting practice, and fungo, and the games of pepper. It is then that we can see the players not as tycoons but as kids; then, as the game is about to begin, that we perch on the edge of our seats, all in it together, one game, one country. And Derek Jeter is breaking toward second. And Minnesota’s Joe Mauer is rising from his crouch and pegging the ball low and on the firstbase side of the bag. And Jeter goes in headfirst. And there’s so much dust. And the umpire cries, “Out!” Out? Are you kidding?!
