LATE STORMS

Snow Tussle brews over tree cutting on river trail level edges above norm By Dylan J. Darling The Bulletin

In clearing trees along the Deschutes River Trail, the Tumalo Irrigation District toppled trees larger than their exemption of city code allows, city planners say. But when asked by the city late last week to file retroactively for a permit for the work, and for future cutting

along the trail, the district said no. “We were there before the city,” said Kenneth Rieck, assistant director for the district. Rieck said the purpose of the tree cutting is to protect the district’s underground pipeline channeling water from the Deschutes River five and a half miles to Tumalo Creek,

with four of those miles under the trail. Roots from young pine trees and cottonwoods are growing into the pipeline, squeezing through seams and causing leaks. “If they are damaging the pipeline, we are taking them out,” Rieck said. “It doesn’t matter what size they are. It’s a maintenance issue.” The city likely would have

allowed the district to cut the trees because of the damage they’re causing, but the district still needed to file a permit to cut trees larger than 8 inches in diameter even if they are along its pipeline, said Wendy Robinson, a senior planner for Bend. “(Rieck) may not want to do it,” Robinson said, “but the code is very clear and (the

exemption) applies to trees 8 inches or less in size.” Responding to a call from a man who lives near First Street Rapids Park, where the district started the tree clearing last Monday, Robinson and a co-worker went down to the trail Thursday and measured stumps along about a quarter mile of the trail.

Plans for Oregon health overhaul about to be clearer

VIRGINIA TECH MASSACRE

By Theresa Vargas and J. Freedom du Lac

They had waited five years to hear I’m sorry. Perhaps the time had finally come. For days, the parents of Erin Peterson and Julia Pryde had sat in a Christiansburg, Va., courtroom less than 10 miles from where their daughters were killed. They had listened as Virginia Tech officials described the day a student gunman terrorized the campus, leaving a trail of destroyed lives. They had sobbed publicly and privately. Now the man ultimately responsible for the campus sat on the witness stand, unable to avoid their gaze. “Good afternoon, Mr. Ste-

ger,” the families’ attorney, Robert Hall, said as Virginia Tech President Charles Steger slipped into the wooden box. After Seung Hui Cho killed 32 people and injured at least 17 on April 16, 2007, most of the victims’ families accepted a settlement that prohibited them from suing the university or the state. The Petersons and Prydes refused, creating a schism in a small community born of bloodshed and bound by anger and grief. But by the time the lawsuit reached trial last month — just weeks shy of the massacre’s fifth anniversary — it was no longer theirs alone. Other families, many of whom had come to regret accepting the state’s settlement, were also watching,

A stormy end of winter and start to spring has pushed the snowpack above normal for this time of year in the Deschutes and Crooked river basins. Surveys at the end of March showed the snowpack to be at 101 percent of the 30year average for the basins, said Nicholle Kovach, Deschutes Basin engineer for the Natural Resource Conservation Service. “The whole season we have been below average,” she said. Snowstorms sprinkled throughout March bucked the trend, Kovach said, boosting snowpack numbers over average. Snow surveys in the mountains just west of Bend last week showed even better numbers than the average for the basins, Kovach said. A check of the snow near Wanoga Sno-park showed nearly 137 percent of average, and a survey near Dutchman Flat found close to 103 percent of average. The Wanoga survey measured 74 inches, or more than 6 feet of snow, and the Dutchman Flat survey had 151 inches, or more than 12 feet. The Wanoga site is at 5,400 feet, and Dutchman Flat is at 6,320 feet. Conservation Service workers conducted three manual snow surveys this year near Bend, Kovach said, going out at the end of January, February and March. A dry stretch from early December to mid-January had kept the snowpack average down for the basins. See Snow / A4

some from the courtroom’s gallery. They, too, were haunted by critical questions: Why didn’t the university issue an earlier warning of a possible gunman on campus after two students were found shot in a dorm room? Why hadn’t Steger ever apologized for what he once called “a tragedy … of monumental proportions”? See Virginia Tech / A4

The Associated Press

SALEM — The Oregon Legislature has bought into Gov. John Kitzhaber’s ideas for redesigning the state’s health care system for low-income patients. Now, it’s about to become plain how many Oregon doctors, hospitals and other care providers are ready to put his vision into practice. Organizations that want a piece of the redesigned Oregon Health Plan must declare their intentions to the state by the end of today or miss their chance until next year. Letters to state health officials will reveal which care providers are planning to participate, what areas of

the state they want to cover and how quickly they’re hoping to get their plans off the ground. They don’t have to provide many details just yet, but their initial documents will show whether some areas of the state will sit out the changes for now, or if multiple groups will be competing to cover the same patients. The Legislature signed off last month on a plan to create regional “coordinated care organizations” responsible for patients on the Oregon Health Plan, the state’s version of Medicaid, a health plan for low-income patients funded by the state and federal governments.

Wally, the in-house grower for a medical marijuana dispensary in Long Beach, Calif., got the job when he impressed the owners with his growing skills. The growing operations is expanding, and much is riding on Wally’s expertise. The owners say they have invested $400,000 in the build-out so far, including $90,000 in air conditioning.

A new breed of weed cultivator: ‘It’s kind of the big leagues now’ By Joe Mozingo Los Angeles Times

He balanced nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium-magnesium, manganese, silica, molybdenum, bone meal, blood meal and dolomite — manipulating the ratios throughout the plant cycle. One day, he went to the warehouse dispensary with a couple of racks of clones he grew — plant cuttings that root and take life as new plants, which customers buy to grow at home. The owners were impressed by his skills and offered him a full-time job setting up their inhouse grow operation. The first three of seven grow rooms are expected to be operational soon. Much is riding on Wally’s expertise. The owners say they have invested $400,000 in the build-out so far, including $90,000 in air conditioning. They paid $15,000 in fees to be one of 18 dispensaries permitted by the city. On the three rooms, they estimate they’ll spend $5,000 on nutrients every six to eight weeks, and $10,000 on electricity every month. If Wally succeeds, he should produce up to 80 pounds of medical marijuana every three or four months, retailing at $2,500 or $4,000 per pound, compared with $1,000 to $2,000 for outdoor-grown. In San Francisco, the owner of TreeTown Seeds, a thirtysomething man named Nova, breeds his own new strains. He wears a cap with the title “Master Breeder.” “You have to be a master grower before you can breed,” he explained recently at a coffee shop in San Francisco. “Unless you can grow it perfectly, you won’t know the genetic potential of a plant.”

IN HISTORY Highlights: In 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon landed in present-day Florida. In 1912, the just-completed RMS Titanic left Belfast to begin its sea trials eight days before the start of its ill-fated maiden voyage. In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to declare war against Germany, saying, “The world must be made safe for democracy.” (Congress declared war four days later.) In 1932, aviator Charles Lindbergh and John Condon went to a cemetery in the Bronx, N.Y., where Condon turned over $50,000 to a man in exchange for Lindbergh’s kidnapped son. (The child, who was not returned, was found dead the following month.) Ten years ago: Israel seized control of Bethlehem; Palestinian gunmen forced their way into the Church of the Nativity, the traditional birthplace of Jesus, where they began a 39-day standoff. Five years ago: In its first case on climate change, the Supreme Court declared in a 5-4 ruling that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases were air pollutants under the Clean Air Act. One year ago: Highly radioactive water leaked into the sea from a crack at Japan’s stricken nuclear power plant; meanwhile, earthquake-tsunami survivors complained that the government was not paying enough heed to victims.

Financial Wisconsin voters anticipate an end to race pledge made to Syrian opposition GOP PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

McClatchy Newspapers OSHKOSH, Wis. — Three months after the primaries started, Republicans in Wisconsin are glad to see the presidential campaign last long enough to reach them. And then they want it to be done, the quicker the better. Around the state, many Republicans approach Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary with a sense of inevitability that Mitt Romney will win the Republican nomination. They think the often nasty primary campaign is hurting the party. And they feel it’s time for rivals Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul to fold up and rally for a fall campaign against President Barack Obama. The sentiment among rankand-file voters suggests a turning point in the campaign where Romney could start to take the nomination more for granted — though he cannot clinch the delegates needed for many more weeks — and turn more and

Biden, Clinton take aim at Romney

MILWAUKEE — The shape of a general-election battle between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama came into sharper focus on Sunday as Vice President Joe Biden led an administration assault on the potential Republican nominee. Biden took on Romney across a wide array of topics in a television interview, describing him as out of touch with the middle class and out of his depth on foreign affairs. And in a rare break from her retreat from partisan politics, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Romney’s perspective on Russia “somewhat dated.” Romney recently called Russia the “No. 1 geopolitical foe” of the United States. On CBS, Biden waded into the political brawl over contraception and the Roman Catholic Church. Biden, who is Catholic, criticized Romney and other Republicans for objecting to the new federal rule requiring that health plans for employees of religious institutions, such as Catholic hospitals, cover contraception.

more to challenging Obama. “It’s really exciting. We have a chance to be a player in the nomination,” said David Richards, a plumber from Oshkosh who plans to vote for Romney. Yet Richards is one of many who fears the campaign has

gone on long enough, maybe too long already. “It’s detrimental to the party. It’s bitter and divisive, tearing down one another. The candidates without a chance should pull away and support the candidate who’s going to win.”

It’s not just Romney supporters. Mike Donnelly, a retiree from Neenah, plans to vote Tuesday for Santorum. Then, he said, it’s time to rally around Romney. “I’m for Santorum. But I don’t think he’s going to win. Romney’s going to win,” he said. “I don’t like it,” he said of the long campaign, stretched out by new party rules designed to give voters in more states a say in the nomination. “It’s dragging on too long. I don’t like the mudslinging. Enough’s enough. Let’s pick a candidate and go after Obama.” Wisconsin is the biggest and most contested prize of the voting Tuesday, with 42 delegates at stake. Maryland has 37 delegates; Washington, D.C., has 16. Romney leads among delegates needed to win the Republican nomination, and is expected to add to that lead on Tuesday.

Opposition party claims victory for democracy icon in Myanmar By Thomas Fuller New York Times News Service

YANGON, Myanmar — Aung San Suu Kyi, the democracy advocate silenced for two decades by Myanmar’s generals with house arrests and overturned elections, assumed a new role in her country’s political transition on Sunday, apparently winning a seat in Parliament to make the remarkable shift from dissident to lawmaker. The main opposition party announced her victory on Sunday. If the result is confirmed, Suu Kyi, a 1991 Nobel Peace laureate and the face of Myanmar’s democracy movement, will hold a public office for the first time. But despite her global prominence, she will be joining a Parliament that is still overwhelmingly controlled by the military-backed ruling party. A nominally civilian government took power 18 months ago after years of oppressive military rule and introduced political changes it hoped would persuade Western nations to end economic sanctions. Sunday’s elections were seen as a barometer for the government’s commitment to change. To many here they represented a sea change; for the first time in two decades people in 44 districts across Myanmar had the chance to vote for Suu Kyi’s party, the National League for Democracy. Outside Myanmar, Suu Kyi, 66, who spent 15 years under house arrest, is a symbol of moral fortitude in the face of oppression. Inside Myanmar, she is also a repository for the wide-ranging hopes of a long-suffering population. With her entry into electoral politics, that role may change. Her party, which has been vague in its prescriptions for the country, will be forced to take specific stands in the country’s two houses of Parliament, where the debates have been increasingly lively in recent months. But on Sunday, hundreds of frenzied supporters reveled in Suu Kyi’s victory as tallies from polling stations, displayed on a large screen outside her party’s headquarters in Yangon, showed her with an overwhelming lead in her race. “I feel like I want to dance,” said Khin Maung Myint, a 65-year-old painter in the crowd. “I’m so happy that they beat the military. We need a party that stands for the people.”

PARIS — When Melissa Dos Santos leaves her job at the end of each day, she goes home to a tiny trailer in a campground 30 miles north of Paris, where scores of people who can barely make ends meet are living on a sprawling lot originally designed as a bucolic retreat for vacationers. “I grew up in a house; living in a campground isn’t the same,” Dos Santos, 21, said wistfully. Her dreams of a more normal life in an apartment with her boyfriend evaporated when they both took minimum-wage jobs after months of searching fruitlessly for better-paid work.

ISTANBUL — A coalition of more than 70 partners, including the United States, pledged Sunday to send millions of dollars and communications equipment to Syria’s opposition groups, signaling deeper involvement in the conflict amid a growing belief that diplomacy and sanctions alone cannot end the Damascus regime’s repression. The shift by the U.S. and its Western and Arab allies toward seeking to sway the military balance in Syria carries regional risks because the crisis there increasingly resembles a proxy conflict that could exacerbate sectarian tensions. The Syrian rebels are overmatched by heavily armed regime forces. The summit meeting of the “Friends of the Syrian People” follows a year of failed diplomacy that seems close to running its course with a troubled peace plan led by U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan. Annan is sched-

uled to brief the U.N. Security Council’s 15 members in New York today. Indeed, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other participants at the conference in Istanbul uniformly expressed concern that Annan’s plan might backfire, speculating that Syrian President Bashar Assad would try to manipulate it to prolong his hold on power. Clinton said she was waiting for Annan’s report to the U.N. Security Council on the status of his peace plan. “There cannot be process for the sake of process. There has to be a time line. If Assad continues as he has, to fail to end the violence, to institute a cease-fire, to withdraw his troops from the areas he has been battering … then it’s unlikely he is going to ever agree,” she said. “Because it is a clear signal that he wants to wait to see if he has totally suppressed the opposition. I think he would be mistaken to believe that. My reading is that the opposition is gaining in intensity, not losing.”

Palestinian prisoner freed after hunger strike New York Times News Service JERUSALEM — A Palestinian woman who spent more than 40 days on a hunger strike to protest her detention by Israel without charge or trial was released from an Israeli prison Sunday and sent into temporary exile in Gaza under a deal reached with the Israeli authorities. The woman, Hana Shalabi, 30, from the northern West Bank, was the second Palestinian this year to have challenged and changed the terms of their “administrative detention,” a practice of the Israeli military courts

that allows imprisonment based on secret informants or information. Both Shalabi’s case and that of Khader Adnan, 33, who ended a 66-day fast in February in return for a reduced term, drew international attention to the continuing use of administrative detention and prompted concerns in Israel that a hunger strike to the death could set off widespread unrest.

Growing ranks of working poor strain social safety nets of European nations By Liz Alderman

By Christopher Torchia and Bradley Klapper

crisis may be cooling. But the economic distress it has left in its wake is pushing a rising tide of workers into precarious straits in France and across the European Union. Today, hundreds of thousands of people are living in campgrounds, vehicles and cheap hotel rooms. Millions more are sharing space with relatives, unable to afford the basic costs of living. These people are the extreme edge of Europe’s working poor: a growing slice of the population that is slipping through Europe’s long-vaunted social safety net. Many, particularly the young, are trapped in lowpaid or temporary jobs that are replacing permanent ones destroyed in Europe’s economic downturn.

Now, economists, European officials and social watchdog groups are warning that the situation is set to worsen. As European governments respond to the crisis by pushing for deep spending cuts to close budget gaps and greater flexibility in their workforces, “the population of working poor will explode,” said Jean-Paul Fitoussi, an economics professor at L’Institut d’Études Politiques in Paris. To most Europeans — and especially the French, it seems — this should not be happening. With generous minimumwage laws and the world’s strongest welfare systems, Europeans are accustomed to thinking they are more protected from a phenomenon

they associate with the United States and other laissez-faire economies. But the European welfare state, designed to ensure that those without jobs are provided with a basic income, access to health care and subsidized housing, is proving ill-prepared to deal with the steady increase in working people who do not make enough to get by. In 2010, the latest year for which data were available, 8.2 percent of workers in the 17 European Union countries that use the euro were living under the region’s average poverty threshold of 10,240 euros, or about $13,500 a year, for single adult workers, up from 7.3 percent in 2006, according to Eurostat.

THE BULLETIN • MONDAY, APRIL 2, 2012

Virginia Tech Continued from A1 During two hours of questioning, Steger explained that officials believed the gunman had fled campus after the first shooting. “Given what we knew at the time,” he said, “we believe we did the best we could.” Eventually, Hall had one question left for him: “Is there anything you want to say to these two families on the deaths of their daughters because they had no warning?” Before Steger could utter a word, an attorney for the state offered a response: Objection.

Grief still raw In a basement storage closet in Centreville, Va., 14 boxes sit stacked, labeled “Erin’s clothes,” “Erin’s shoes,” “Erin’s toiletries.” After her daughter died, Celeste Peterson would sit next to them, her nose pressed to the small openings on the sides, seeking the smell of her only child. Over the years, the scent has faded, but the boxes remain, unopened. “People don’t understand. Erin was our compass,” Peterson says. “She kept us going in the right direction. Without her, we are just spinning.” To her father, Grafton, Erin was the girl who would sneak out of bed to watch ESPN with him and, later, the teen who could give him a look from the basketball court that conveyed everything she was thinking. “That was my buddy, my best friend,” he says. To her mother, Erin was the young woman who wanted to make the world better, who once stormed into her parents’ room after watching a documentary, demanding to know Abraham Lincoln’s motivation for freeing the slaves. When the Westfield High School graduate left for Virginia Tech, her parents asked that she call home every night — not for her sake, but for theirs. And the 18-year-old did, without fail. The last time they talked was the night before the shooting. Their parting words were the same as usual. “I love you,” Celeste said. “I love you, too,” Erin replied. “Talk to you tomorrow.”

“As people continued to have unanswered questions, they started to realize that the reason those two families are doing this is to get exactly what all of us would like to have. It’s about finding out everything we could find out about that day.” — Andrew Goddard, whose son was shot four times and survived

Verdict

Nikki Kahn / The Washington Post

Celeste Peterson has left daughter Erin’s room just as it was at the time of her death in the Virginia Tech shooting. “Erin was our compass,” Peterson says. “She kept us going in the right direction. Without her, we are just spinning.”

then we were being pressured to sign this piece of paper.” Months earlier, Andrew Goddard, whose 21-year-old son, Colin, had survived four of Cho’s gunshots, began to put the survivors in touch with one another. Joe Samaha, whose daughter Reema was killed in the same intermediate French class as Erin Peterson, did the same for the families of the dead. As the settlement deadline approached, the family networks lit up, mostly with one message: Accept the offer. The pressure was coming from the attorneys handling the settlement, the families say, and from within their own ranks. There was fear that the state might withdraw the offer if not enough people agreed to the terms. “Families of the deceased were told: ‘If you don’t sign the settlement, families of the injured won’t get any money for medical bills,’ ” Goddard says. “And we were told families of the deceased wouldn’t get money for funerals and all that stuff if we didn’t sign.” Twenty-eight of the 32 families that lost loved ones accepted. Two families skipped the settlement process entirely — a fact that has largely gone unnoticed. That left the parents of Erin Peterson and Julia Pryde. The Petersons had been determined from the start to

pursue a wrongful-death suit — not to punish Virginia Tech, which their daughter loved, or to enrich themselves, as some accused them of doing. They say they wanted to get to truths they thought officials were withholding. “That’s how you raise your children: to always tell the truth,” Celeste Peterson says. “I used to always tell Erin, ‘Even if you did something horrible, it will go a lot easier on you if you tell the truth.’ ” The Prydes considered accepting the proposal but worried that their quest for information and accountability would come to an abrupt end if they signed the settlement. So they contacted Hall, the personal-injury lawyer who was representing the Petersons. “When the Prydes and Petersons didn’t accept, it put a little space between them and the other families,” Goddard says. “There was definitely a schism.” But they weren’t exactly shunned: The Petersons say one family that had accepted the settlement slipped them their password to read the massive online archive of the university’s April 16 documents.

Pulled together As time passed and some relatives became increasingly

dissatisfied with the 2008 settlement, the legal pursuit that had once set the Prydes and Petersons apart began to pull them closer to the community of victim and survivor families. Eventually, their lawsuit became everybody’s lawsuit. “As people continued to have unanswered questions, they started to realize that the reason those two families are doing this is to get exactly what all of us would like to have,” says Goddard, whose son now works with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “It’s about finding out everything we could find out about that day. With a trial, people who had not had to speak under oath before would be on the stand, and it would benefit everybody.” By the time the case finally went to trial, all of the individual defendants — including Steger — had been dismissed from the wrongful-death suit. That left the state as the lone defendant. But Steger was still called to testify, and when the Virginia Tech president was sworn in just after noon one day last month, relatives of Tech victims were sprinkled throughout the courtroom gallery. The trial’s central question was one the families have been asking for five years: Why hadn’t Virginia Tech officials informed students that a gunman might be on the loose after two students were shot in a dormitory about 7:15 a.m.? The first campus-wide alert about a “shooting incident” wasn’t issued until 9:26, and it didn’t mention that anybody had been killed — or that the gunman was at large. A second, more detailed email was sent at 9:50, about 10 minutes after

Settlement push With the massacre’s first anniversary looming in the spring of 2008, injured survivors and families of the 32 dead wrestled with a decision: Should they settle and forgo any future right to sue? The offer presented by the state and university included payouts of $100,000 to each decedent’s estate; reimbursements for medical and mental health care for the survivors; and access to a trove of written records related to “the Tragedy,” as it was called throughout the proposal. They had until April 7 to decide. At home in Middletown, N.J., Harry and Karen Pryde fumed over the deadline, which fell nine days before the first anniversary of the death of their 23year-old daughter. “Everyone was really raw,” Karen Pryde says now. “We were just destroyed. It was rotten timing, very unfair. And

Snow Continued from A1 Heavy snow in mid-January dropped a record 59 inches, nearly 5 feet, over three days at Mt. Bachelor, but the snowpack was still behind in earlier surveys. As of March 1 the snowpack was at 71 percent of average for that time of year. In Central Oregon the snowpack typically peaks near April 1 and then begins to shrivel as spring arrives. For the coming months, next fall and early winter, Kovach said the Conservation Service will monitor the snowpack using automated sensors. More snow fell on the mountains Sunday and more should come in the next three days, according to forecasts by the National Weather Service. Three to 7 inches of snow is likely to fall above 5,000 feet between now and Wednesday, said Douglas Weber, a meteorologist with the Weather Service in Pendleton. The coming storm could also drop rain, he said, and perhaps about a half inch of snow on Bend. “I think the next surge of moisture is expected to come in on Tuesday afternoon,” Weber said. — Reporter: 541-617-7812, ddarling@bendbulletin.com

at the Glock 19 semiautomatic pistol that Cho used in the rampage. They also heard testimony revealing that Steger told a crisis communications expert that he wouldn’t apologize to the parents because that would imply that he had made mistakes on April 16.

Cho chained the doors at Norris Hall, where he shot at least 47 people in 11 minutes before turning his gun on himself. On the stand, Steger repeated what he had said in the past: Virginia Tech police and officials believed that the first two killings, in West Ambler Johnston Hall, were an act of domestic violence and that the gunman had probably fled the campus. And school officials didn’t immediately issue a campuswide alert because they first wanted to notify the families of the students shot in the dorm.

New details But Steger added at least one new detail to his long-held narrative about April 16: The president testified that it was Zenobia Hikes, then-vice president for student affairs, who had recommended against telling the campus community that one student was dead, another was dying and a gunman was on the loose. University officials had not previously cited Hikes, who died in 2008, as the driving force behind the delayed and watereddown alert — an assertion reinforced by written notes from an assistant to Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum. After the testimony, the Roanoke Times published a letter from a half-dozen people who worked with Hikes, “who, due to her untimely death, is no longer able to speak on her own behalf. … The revelation about Zenobia’s central role in this process comes as a shock to many of us who spoke with her following the tragedy,” they wrote. In the course of the trial, the families gazed for the first time

The seven-member jury deliberated for about 31⁄2 hours before returning a unanimous verdict: Virginia Tech was negligent for waiting to warn students of a gunman on campus. The jurors awarded $4 million each to the Prydes and the Petersons, not knowing that state law caps the amount at $100,000 per family. Celeste Peterson openly sobbed when the verdict was read. In the courtroom afterward, the Petersons and Prydes embraced, and Goddard thanked them “for hanging tough and not backing down” — a sentiment shared by many of the other families. Karen Pryde exhaled. “I felt there was a weight lifted, finally,” she says. “But the trial didn’t really change anything. We’re still missing our daughter.” But the legal wrangling isn’t over. The state attorney general’s office has not decided whether to appeal the verdict, and Hall has filed a motion seeking to circumvent the $100,000 cap on damages, asking for $2 million per family from the state’s risk-management plan. Last Friday, in a separate legal case, a judge dismissed a $55,000 fine that had been imposed on Virginia Tech by the U.S. Education Department for failing to issue a timely warning to students. Grafton Peterson, 53, says it doesn’t matter what happens in the courts next. He has accepted that the families will never get some answers — or an apology from university officials. “They may not ever say they did wrong,” he says. “But deep down in their hearts, when they look in the mirror at themselves, they know they did a terrible thing.”

Iraq’s fugitive vice president travels to Qatar New York Times News Service BAGHDAD — Iraq’s fugitive Sunni vice president left the country Sunday for a diplomatic trip to the Persian Gulf state of Qatar, his office announced, a development that threatened to stir new tensions just days after officials in Baghdad hosted a lavish meeting to repair ties with other

Arab nations. In a statement, the office of Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi characterized his trip as a normal diplomatic mission to meet the Qatari emir and prime minister, followed by visits to a few other unspecified countries and then a return home. The Qatar News Agency said he would stay in

Qatar for several days. But al-Hashimi is a lightning rod for Shiite leaders in Baghdad, who have grown increasingly frustrated over the past three months as he has flouted their attempts to prosecute him on terrorism charges. In late December, al-Hashimi fled to Iraq’s semiautono-

mous Kurdish region after the government accused him of using his bodyguards as a personal death squad and issued an arrest warrant. Since then, he has lived under the protection of Kurdish officials, who refuse to turn him over for a trial in Baghdad. “How could they let him leave?” said Ali al-Moussawi,

an adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. “He is prevented from traveling. This is a violation. And receiving him in Qatar is a violation.” Al-Moussawi called on Interpol, the international police organization, to arrest the vice president. Al-Hashimi has denied all of the charges and says he is

the victim of a political witch hunt. Although al-Hashimi is a polarizing figure even among Iraq’s Sunnis, the accusations against him, unveiled in a televised news conference complete with grainy videotaped confessions, created an uproar just one day after the last U.S. forces departed last year.

Overhaul

Trees

Continued from A1 The coordinated care organizations will be charged with integrating mental health and medical care, which are currently fractured into separate systems with minimal communications. The CCOs will be paid a fixed price for each patient, rather than a fee for each service they provide. Kitzhaber and other proponents hope the model will create financial incentives to invest in preventive care, community health workers and other ways to keep patients healthy and away from expensive emergency rooms. They’re especially interested in improving the management of chronic conditions like diabetes and asthma to reduce hospitalizations. Opponents worry the government will have too much control over health care. The plan envisions a significant restructuring of the health industry that, in some cases, changes the business model for care providers or encourages longtime competitors to work together. The documents due today, set to be released publicly on Tuesday, are likely to show how health companies are lining up in the delicate dance, and also could expose any fissures between them. “It is an important milestone in creating the coordinated care organizations to better serve the state,” said Patty Wentz, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Health Authority. “It’s also going to be important to the local communities, to see whose working to become a coordinated care organization.” Progress varies widely around the state, and so does the level of agreement about the best way forward. A group of nine organizations in the Roseburg area — including the independent physicians group, mental health providers, the hospital and the county — announced weeks ago that they’d agreed to apply to be a CCO for Douglas County, the first organization to do so. “This is a bit daunting. It’s a small town, and for us to be doing this we feel we’re really on the leading edge,” Dr. Bob Dannenhoffer, the chief executive of the local physicians group who has been active in the work, said recently. “We’re doing this with a little bit of trepidation but a lot of hope.” In metro Portland, the major hospitals, county governments, community health clinics, and other groups have agreed to work together on forming a single CCO that would cover more than 200,000 of Oregon’s 600,000 Oregon Health Plan patients. The group has hailed its agreement as a major victory, bringing together the region’s fiercely competitive hospitals and other players in the health care system to do business together for a massive share of the affected patients. In some areas, multiple entities could file letters of intent looking to become coordinated care organizations. State officials say there is no limitation on having more than one CCO working in a particular region, but prospective CCOs will have to prove they’re financially viable in order to get certified. At least two organizations have expressed interest in being a CCO for Klamath County, said Mayor Todd Kellstrom, and both sought an endorsement from the county, although the final decision is up to the state. Cascade Comprehensive Care, a Klamath Falls company owned by local doctors and the hospital, currently manages medical care for Oregon Health Plan patients and would like to take on mental health as a CCO. Greater Oregon Behavioral Health Inc., which oversees mental health for Oregon Health Plan patients in 17 rural counties, has also expressed interest in expanding into Klamath County and taking on the duties of a CCO.

Continued from A1 While the code refers to the trees’ diameter at 41⁄2 feet from the ground, Robinson said some of the stumps were 12 to 16 inches across, and the trees that once stood were likely larger than 8 inches in diameter. “We found at least five trees that were oversize,” she said. Along with calling Rieck on Thursday, Robinson said she’ll be sending the district a letter, asking it to file a permit. She said the fact that the district is older than the city doesn’t make it exempt from the city’s rules. On its website the district traces its roots to the 1880s. Bend was incorporated in 1905. The district’s unwillingness to file for a permit could lead to a code enforcement violation, said Craig Chenowegh, development services coordinator for Bend. Rieck said Friday would be the last day district workers would be cutting trees along the pipeline, for now. “We might come back in the summer,” he said.

Ryan Brennecke / The Bulletin

A runner goes past one of the trees cleared along the Deschutes River Trail last week. The city says the Tumalo Irrigation District should have had a permit for its tree clearing along the trail because some of the trees it cut are larger than the district’s exemption of city code allows, city planners say.

LOCAL BRIEFING Snowblast Tubing Park visitors walk past a mountain of powdercovered tubes on their way to the rope tow for another ride down the snowcovered lanes at Mt. Bachelor on Sunday morning.

Break from rain expected today Central Oregon should get a break from the rainstorms that hit the area last week, but not for long. According to Joe Solomon, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pendleton, the beginning of the week should be clear before a cold front comes in, bringing with it spring showers. “The first news is (today) and Tuesday are going to be nice, (today) especially,” Solomon said. Today’s skies are expected to be partly cloudy. Temperatures will climb as high as 59 degrees. Tuesday’s temperatures are expected to be even higher, according to the weather service, before dropping overnight to as low as 28 degrees. Beginning Tuesday afternoon a cold front is likely to sweep through the area, bringing with it low temperatures and unsettled weather. “That front comes over the Cascades midday or in the early afternoon,” Solomon said. “Tuesday morning starts out nice and then goes downhill.” On Wednesday, temperatures are expected to drop, with highs reaching about 45 degrees before dropping overnight to about 23 degrees. Thursday and Friday may hold more of the same, with temperatures ranging from 48 to 50 degrees during the day and dropping to about 23 degrees overnight. Saturday should warm up again, with high temperatures reaching into the low 50s.

Locals petition to halt logging project By Dylan J. Darling The Bulletin

Perfect combination of speed and ease

2 arrested after traffic stop A 21-year-old Bend woman and her passenger was arrested after leading police on a chase through northeast Bend. At around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Bend police tried to pull over Christina Ann Brown at the corner of Northeast Quimby Avenue and 12th Street, according to a news release. Brown allegedly continued driving within the speed limit, periodically waving at passersby and police. Brown allegedly pulled into a cul-de-sac, at which point her passenger, Benjamin Robert Watson, 22, fled on foot. A Bend Police K-9 found Watson in a backyard in the 2700 block of Northeast Flowers Court. Brown was arrested on suspicion of attempting to elude a police officer, DUII, methamphetamine possession, and interfering with a police officer. She was also cited for driving with a suspended license and without insurance. Watson was arrested on suspicion of violating parole, second-degree criminal trespass and interfering with a police officer. He was also cited for not wearing a seatbelt and having an open container in the vehicle. The two were booked into the Deschutes County jail on Saturday, where Watson remained Sunday evening.

A change-up from skiing and snowboarding, the 800foot tubing runs require riders to just sit back — or dive forward — and relax. “This isn’t very much work,” said Damon Blain, 39. “This is pretty lazy.” But speedy. “It’s really fast,” said Charlize Blain, 6, the youngest of the three Blain children.

A Bend man has started an online petition in hopes of stopping logging near his getaway cabin on the other side of the Cascades. “I happen to love it over there and happen to not want to see it destroyed,” said Jerry Gilmour, a 57-year-old mortgage banker. Gilmour’s cabin, a converted 26-foot travel trailer he’s had for four years, is in McKenzie Bridge, where he’s not alone in his outrage at the U.S. Forest Service. “We’ve started to make a little noise, my neighbors and I,” he said. They say the Forest Service didn’t inform them about its plans to sell 39 million board feet of timber off more than 2,000 acres on the McKenzie River District of the Willamette National Forest that surrounds the small community. Gilmour said there are about 800 people in McKenzie Bridge, more of a clustering of cabins within the lush woods along the McKenzie River than a town. As of Sunday evening, the petition — which Gilmour started Tuesday — had 110 signatures, 42 of which were from Bend. Gilmour said he didn’t have a specific number of names he was trying to collect. “I need as many as I can get,” he said. Like Gilmour, who spends most weekends there with his wife and dogs, many live in McKenzie Bridge part-time. Gilmour said he learned of the project when he saw markers indicating the boundary of a timber sale next to his 7-acre parcel while out walking one of his dogs earlier this year. Terry Baker, who took over as McKenzie River District ranger in July, said the Forest Service didn’t spread word of its plans well enough back in April 2009 when the plan was first released. But Baker doesn’t think the logging should be stopped, as Gilmour calls for in his petition. “I think it is a great project,” he said. The Goose Project, as the Forest Service calls it, will reduce wildfire danger by creating a buffer around McKenzie Bridge over the next three to seven years, Baker said. The project calls for thinning on 588 acres close to the community and controlled burns on 80 acres. The project includes logging on 2,134 acres, mostly the “commercial thinning” of trees larger than 7 or 9 inches in diameter, according to Forest Service documents. The trees will be 25 to 100 years old and are big enough to be run through a sawmill. See Petition / B2

Bend nightclub marks final night with a visit from police By Dylan J. Darling and Sheila G. Miller The Bulletin

One last night for Boondocks Bar and Grill, one last call to the Bend Police Department. Police officers responded to the report of a patron fighting with security staff at the downtown nightclub just after 2:15

a.m., said Sgt. Todd Fletcher of the Bend Police Department. No arrests were made. Boondocks closed for good early Sunday morning, leaving behind a legacy of frequent visits by the police for theft and fighting. Since 2009, there have been more than 900 calls for service involving the nightclub — most on

Saturdays and Sunday — according to Deschutes County 911 records. Boondocks owner Howie Long hasn’t said why he closed the nightclub. But in February the Oregon Liquor Control Commission sent him a letter in which it listed 67 incidents of violence, theft and other unlawful behavior at the

nightclub. The letter said the OLCC was proposing to cancel his liquor license. According to OLCC officials, Long never responded to the letter. If a similar night hot spot opens up at the Northwest Newport Avenue location, OLCC officials said the new license holder might face

restrictions because of its troubled history. Restrictions could include a limit on the number of drinks each patron can order or an early cutoff time when liquor can no longer be served. — Reporter: 541-617-7812, ddarling@bendbulletin.com — Reporter: 541-617-7831, smiller@bendbulletin.com

Tubing Continued from B1 Along with families looking for something to do together, the tubing park attracts people who have family members skiing or snowboarding at Mt. Bachelor who want a chance to play in the snow themselves. Riding the tubes is like sledding, but with a slope about four times the size of the hill at the Wanoga Snoplay Area closer to town, Ludwig said. Tubers can go down by themselves or link tubes and slide down as a group. Also just starting spring break, Rachel Porter, 35, of Tacoma, Wash., was at the tubing park Sunday with her daughter, Ryann Porter, 6. The Porters got about 15 runs in during the morning session. Rachel Porter said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tried a tubing hill near home, but liked Mt. Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longer and steeper,â&#x20AC;? Ryann Porter said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reporter: 541-617-7812, ddarling@bendbulletin.com

Continued from B1 There will be mini-clear cuts in the creation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;gaps,â&#x20AC;? Baker said. These gaps are one- to three-acre irregularly shaped patches where all of the main harvest tree â&#x20AC;&#x201D; likely Douglas fir â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be cut but other trees, like hardwoods, will be left behind. There will be 322 acres of gaps in all, according to Forest Service documents. The Forest Service has already signed the contract for the

first timber sale on the project. On March 12, the Forest Service held a public meeting in McKenzie Bridge about the project and Baker said about 100 people showed up for it, many complaining about the lack of communication by the agency.

Monitoring teams Since then, Baker has set up a monitoring team for the project, which he said anyone is welcome to join. The team will mostly focus on what work is done in the

forest after the logging. Although the Forest Service has closed the window for public comment on the logging, two environmental groups are considering a lawsuit. Oregon Wild and Cascadia Wildlands appealed the project when it was in its early stages after the agency decided against a plan involving less logging. The Forest Service denied the appeal, giving the groups the standing in court to file a suit. The appeal focused on

O N Coos Bay man sets record for marathon victories By Rachel Finney The World (Coos Bay)

COOS BAY — Chuck Engle’s motto is “Run more,” and he certainly doesn’t intend to slow down, even after breaking the world record for career marathon wins last month. In fact, the self-named “marathon junkie” drove to Washington last weekend to run yet another marathon. The 41-year-old local marathoner raced to his 145th career victory at the River City Run in Folsom, Calif., the weekend before last, breaking the world record for career marathon wins previously held by Helge Hafsas of Norway. It’s a record he figured would come around eventually — he’s run 287 marathons since he first started in 2000 and won more than half of them. Last year, he finished his goal of earning a marathon win in each of the 50 states, but a world record wasn’t really on his list. “My original goal last year was to finish a marathon win in all 50 states (before I turned 41),” Engle said. “Once you’ve won a marathon in all 50 states, you’re kind of high on the stat sheet.” “I didn’t think it was a question of if I would (break it), it was when,” he added. “So it wasn’t just really, ‘Hey, let’s get out and get a record.’ ” He stressed that many of the marathons he runs are small, mostly because travel is expensive and he enjoys them more than some of the bigger, more popular ones. “I’m limited budget-wise, and I’m limited location-wise,” he said. ‘There’s not that many big races every weekend.” And he’s not breaking any records for marathon times, he added — he runs an average 2 hours, 44 minutes, with his fastest being 2:31.01. “I’m a mediocre runner at best,” Engle said. “There’s at least 4,000 marathon times that have been better than me this year — in the world.” But he certainly is running marathons often. Last year, he raced in 58 marathons and won 40 of them, and he didn’t even enter a race until February. “I’m very fortunate that I’m able to run as much as I do,” he said. He gets a lot of help to afford travel to so many races, as he gets paid to run in some marathons by race directors. “I think race directors like to see ... a relatively fast time on their course, and I don’t charge that much,” he said. “I’m happy to do it.” And sponsors also help him with equipment, travel (both airfare and gas), hotel and race entry expenses, he said. He’s sponsored by MarathonGuide .com, Clifbar, Zensah compression clothing and Polar heart rate monitors, and sponsorships fluctuate each year. He blogs at www.marathon junkie.com, and many other racers affectionately call him “MJ.” He’s carefully cultivated his abilities over the years. In high school, he wrestled and ran cross country and track, and he ran for University of Mount Union, a Division III school in Ohio. After that, he entered the military, and earned his master’s degree at Mississippi College in biology and chemistry. He said running always made sense, since at 5-foot-8, he never had the stature of football or basketball players. But now, an important question has surfaced for Engle: Where does he go from here? On Thursday, he said he was at a running crossroads. “My goal is still to continue to run the rest of the year,” he said. “Now that the online persona of the marathon junkie is out there, and people think I’m kind of crazy, the short-term goal is to run a bunch. “As for my next goal, my chalkboard is wiped clean right now.”

WINEMA INTERAGENCY HOTSHOTS

Veterans cherish years as firefighting special forces By Paul Fattig Mail Tribune (Medford)

Central Point resident Duane Mallams was covered with grime, his clothes smeared with dirt and soot. He was miserably hot, bone tired and weary of breathing wildfire smoke as thick as fog. Wiping a dirty forearm across his brow to stop the sweat dripping into his eyes, he took stock of his situation early that summer in 1965. “I thought, ‘How am I going to do this?’ ” he recalls of his very first fire, a stubborn blaze in the Umpqua National Forest. “We were only halfway through the first day. And I was utterly exhausted from building a hot line.” But the 1964 Medford Senior High School graduate, who had run cross country in school and planted trees that spring, was in good shape. He gutted it out like the rest of the Star Inter-Regional Fire Suppression Crew. In fact, the now-retired U.S. Forest Service employee would spend four full seasons with the crew, building countless more hot lines — fire lines hard against a fire — and rising to squad boss in 1969. “For a young kid from Medford, it was a great way to see the country,” says Mallams, now 65. “We flew all over the Western states and got to go into backcountry few people had ever seen. It was extremely grueling work, but very rewarding. We had great teamwork.” Now known as the Winema Interagency Hotshots, the crew was formed in the spring of 1962 in what was then the Star Ranger Station in the Applegate River drainage of the Rogue River

“For a young kid from Medford, it was a great way to see the country. We flew all over the Western states and got to go into backcountry few people had ever seen. It was extremely grueling work, but very rewarding. We had great teamwork.” — Duane Mallams, retired U.S. Forest Service employee

National Forest. Back in the day, it was one of only two such crews on the West Coast, with the other being in Redmond. Hand-picked and highly trained to combat wildfires, the 25-member crews were deployed to the meanest blazes in the West. In 1970, the Southern Oregon crew moved to what is now the High Cascades Ranger District, headquartered in Prospect, and officially renamed the Rogue River Inter-Regional Fire Suppression Crew, although they were commonly known as the Rogue River Rough Riders. The name was changed to the Prospect Interagency Hotshots in 1980. Two years later, their home base was transferred to the Klamath Ranger District of the Winema National Forest, where they were dubbed the Winema Interagency Hotshots. Others who joined later said their experience on the crew as it jelled and became a professional firefighting team left a lasting impression. They talk of boarding a DC-3 at the Medford airport, flying to their destination, climbing into a vehicle to drive to the end of the road, hiking miles into a remote fire, then grabbing their Pulaskis and hazel hoes

and going to work. They sometimes got a little ripe, going up to two weeks without a shower. They slept in the open and rose well before the sun. “Even though the work was difficult and exhausting, there is something about firefighting that makes it really addictive,” says Mallams, who would later graduate from what is now Southern Oregon University. “It gets in your blood. You want to go on fires. It was a tremendous adrenalin rush. And they sent us on the difficult fires.” True story, says Roseburg resident John Lacey, 60, a 1969 graduate of Crater High School who served on the crew from 1971 through the 1980 fire seasons. “A project fire may have 2,000 or 3,000 firefighters on it, but only a small percentage is at the front — hotshots were designed to be the special forces of firefighting,” says Lacey, who began as a crew member, rising to squad boss and later assistant foreman. While the smokejumpers were the elite of initial attack, the hotshots were the specialists who took the firefighting baton from the smokejumpers and continued the attack on fires burning in

remote or rugged areas, he says. For instance, they were dispatched in August 1973 to the massive Freezeout fire burning in the rugged Hells Canyon between Oregon and Idaho, he says. For days, the crew battled the stubborn fire, refusing to give an inch on their section of the front line. “We ended up getting a cash performance for the fire, everyone on the crew did, for performance beyond the call of duty,” says Lacey, who is now an explosives expert. Lacey fought fires during the summers while attending Oregon State University, where he would earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration. “It financed my college in pretty grand style,” he says. “The hourly pay wasn’t much, but overtime and hazardous pay made up for it.” The hotshots earned a reputation for working hard, he says, recalling one instance in the summer of 1979 when the crew worked for some 15 hours building a fire line in front of a fire in Idaho. When a veteran firefighter inspected the line, he knew precisely where the crew’s work began and ended on the line, whose other sections were completed by other crews, Lacey says. But the crew members also were known as hell-raisers on the rare occasions they went to town, he says. Back then, many of the firefighters figured they were only nominally employed by Uncle Sam, he says. “We performed well on the front lines,” he says. “You wanted us out on the difficult fires but, by all means, you didn’t want to send us into town.”

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require unneeded rebate letters

s it political advertising or necessary notification? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the question in a dispute between the health insurance industry and the Obama administration about

letters explaining rebate checks that are scheduled to go to nearly 9 million Americans in August. We see merit in one of the proposed government requirements, but the other goes too far. The Affordable Care Act requires that insurers send refunds if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend 80 to 85 percent of premiums on medical care. Kaiser Health News reports that because of big profits and less spent on medical care in 2011, checks totaling $1.4 billion will be sent, with the average recipient getting $164. The Department of Health and Human Services is considering requiring specific wording in the letters that accompany the checks, and demanding that letters be sent even to subscribers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a rebate. An industry lobby group is objecting, saying the proposed wording is too restrictive. It requires that the health law be mentioned in the second sentence. The group also objects to the additional cost of sending letters to those not getting rebates, Kaiser says, which

the group estimates at $200 million to $300 million. The administration says the cost would be closer to $71 million. At issue is whether the letters really amount to Democratic campaign literature, according to the Kaiser report. They would be sent not long before the November election. After reviewing the proposed language for the letters accompanying checks, we see nothing objectionable. The details about medical loss ratios may be more than many recipients want to know, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reasonable explanation of why the check is arriving, and it is not overtly political. (See the wording of the letter on the Kaiser Health News website.) However, the idea of sending letters to those not receiving a check does look like political advertising at taxpayer expense. And whether that costs $300 million or $71 million, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wrong.

Oregon should not be the cavity-prone state

ental health in Oregon has not been something worth grinning about. Oregon was the seventh-worst for third-grade students with untreated tooth decay, in a 2008 survey that included data from 37 states. In a 2007 survey of 32 states, it was the same message. Oregon had one of the worst rates of cavities and decay for children. Gov. John Kitzhaber and the Legislature busied themselves this past session with a package of health reforms that may or may not succeed. But year after year the Oregon government has failed to give the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poorer children a proven health reform: mandatory fluoride in the water. Fluoride in the water reduces cavities. Even people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the idea donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily dispute that. It is a controversial issue. In Philomath, the City Council made a decision in 2011 to stop adding fluoride to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water supply. A vote of residents just overturned that and the fluoride will return. In Bend, the city charter bans fluoridation.

Many children will get the dental care they need because their parents can afford it. Changes in Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state health coverage will also mean more poor children will get dental care. But adding fluoride to municipal water supplies is relatively inexpensive. For the town of Philomath, population 4,600, adding fluoride to the water supply will cost the city about $4,000 a year. The American Dental Association has said that for each dollar spent on fluoride in the water, as much as $38 dollars is saved in future dental care. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of cost-saving prevention that makes sense. Opponents are not convinced. They argue fluorideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety record is unproven. A bill that would have required water systems in Oregon serving more than 10,000 people to fluoridate failed in 2007. The Legislature should hold the debate, again. Either that or create a new specialty license plate to raise money for childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dental care: Oregon, the cavity-prone state.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bullyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deserved an R rating By Tim Winter Los Angeles Times

he news media have been abuzz recently about the Motion Picture Association of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to adopt an R rating for the film documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bully,â&#x20AC;? and understandably so. School bullying has reached epidemic proportions, and with the rise in social media, bullying insidiously follows children from the schoolyard into their homes, their dorm rooms and their computers. A long list of Hollywood celebrities, sports stars, members of Congress and just plain folks denounced the MPAA for assigning the R rating to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bully,â&#x20AC;? and they called for a lower PG-13 rating instead. As valid as their concerns may be, we all must be mindful not to throw the ratings â&#x20AC;&#x153;babyâ&#x20AC;? out with the bullying â&#x20AC;&#x153;bath water.â&#x20AC;? The public should be aware of this important film, but the film was accurately rated based on the MPAA guidelines. Unfortunately, some of the supporters of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullyâ&#x20AC;? suggested that an R rating somehow condoned bullying behavior. That is intellectually dishonest and factually bankrupt. The MPAA rating system casts no value judgment on the relative merits of the film. To do otherwise takes objective criteria and twists it into a subjective mess that would serve no one well. Ideally, the MPAA rating would

be completely reliable, utterly consistent, clearly transparent and totally impervious to lobbying. I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;ideallyâ&#x20AC;? because of the numerous instances in which studios and filmmakers successfully push the MPAA to lower a filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating. Why? In a word: money. Films rated PG generally make more money at the box office than PG13 films, and PG-13 films generally outperform R-rated films. Some opponents of the R rating for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullyâ&#x20AC;? have stated that children would be prohibited from seeing it because of an R rating, but that is false. An NC-17 rating might ensure that no child would be admitted to see a film, but children are able to attend an R-rated film if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. This puts the decision precisely where it belongs: with the parent. Opponents of the R rating insist that this particular film is â&#x20AC;&#x153;too importantâ&#x20AC;? to be rated R. But neither entertainers nor members of Congress should decide what content is â&#x20AC;&#x153;too importantâ&#x20AC;? to be rated in a manner consistent with the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Schindlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Listâ&#x20AC;? was an Academy Award-winning film that laid bare the horrors of the Holocaust. It is a film that, in my opinion, everyone should see. It was rated R. And based on the objective criteria of the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content, R was the appropriate rating.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saving Private Ryanâ&#x20AC;? showed with brutal honesty the human cost of war. It was rated R. And based on objective criteria and the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content, R was the appropriate rating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullyâ&#x20AC;? is also a powerful film, and I hope it helps to open eyes and save lives. But the reality is that the film contains material that is wholly consistent with an R rating, and only an R rating. No matter how passionately we feel about the content of these films, we should not allow our own subjective views about the worthiness of the message to sway what should be a purely objective measure of adult-themed content in the film. In my own life, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the victim of bullying. As a child I was physically attacked at school; in college I lost a friend to suicide as a result of the pressures he faced when he â&#x20AC;&#x153;came out.â&#x20AC;? So add my name to the list of those who feel the message of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bullyâ&#x20AC;? is of vital importance.

Administration looks to New Deal policy for health care ruling By James Bovard Los Angeles Times

he Obama administration is relying heavily on a 1942 Supreme Court case to sway todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s justices as they consider the constitutionality of compelling Americans to buy health insurance. The 1942 ruling, in Wickard v. Filburn, declared that â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is hardly lack of due process for the government to regulate that which it subsidizes.â&#x20AC;? The case spurred a vast increase in political-bureaucratic control over American life, even though the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling rested on mind-boggling economic illiteracy. Starting in 1938, the Department of Agriculture dictated to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1.5 million wheat farmers exactly how many acres of the grain they could grow. Other programs to curtail wheat output had begun in 1933. Roscoe Filburn, an Indiana farmer who slightly exceeded his quota, claimed that the government had no right to prohibit him from growing wheat on his own land to feed to his own livestock. The

Roosevelt administration, in a brief to the Supreme Court, claimed that it must have a free hand to â&#x20AC;&#x153;suppress â&#x20AC;Ś a public evil.â&#x20AC;? And what was the â&#x20AC;&#x153;public evilâ&#x20AC;?? Wheat surpluses. The court unanimously concluded that the government was justified even in restricting â&#x20AC;&#x153;the amount of wheat â&#x20AC;Ś to which one may forestall resort to the market by producing for his own needs.â&#x20AC;? The fact that Filburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wheat might have influenced interstate commerce (if his hogs hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eaten it) was sufficient to sanctify unlimited federal controls over his farm. The decision noted that wheat exports had fallen sharply since the 1920s, resulting in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;large surplus in production.â&#x20AC;? But it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take into account that the surplus existed largely because the Roosevelt administration had driven the price of U.S. wheat to almost three times the world market price. Roosevelt was following in the footsteps of Herbert Hoover, whose Federal Farm Board sought to corner

the world wheat market in 1929-30 and caused great havoc. By 1931, U.S. wheat exports had partially rebounded, but in 1933, the new Roosevelt administration considered the prices too low. It used price supports and massive wheat purchases to drive up American prices. Higher prices encouraged production, and with falling exports, that meant surpluses. Soon enough, the Agriculture Department was paying farmers not to grow wheat. In 1938, it turned to the acreage quotas that Filburn rebelled against. The government, it was said derisively, would solve â&#x20AC;&#x153;the paradox of want amidst plenty by doing away with the plenty.â&#x20AC;? The New Dealers â&#x20AC;&#x153;built a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Chinese wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; around our export farmers,â&#x20AC;? wrote economist and Nobel laureate Theodore Schultz. Canadian and Australian wheat farmers survived the 1930s far better than American farmers in part because their governments did not intentionally throttle exports. The Roosevelt administration first

murdered the wheat exports and then threw itself on the Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mercy on the grounds that wheat farmers were orphans. In Wickard v. Filburn, the justices showed scant curiosity about the cause of the loss of exports, treating it like an act of God. The justices had no due process concerns regarding anything dictatorial done to farmers in the name of higher crop prices. Depression-era farm policy was a tangle of contradictions and ad hoc manipulations. FDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies ensured that prices were no longer permitted to provide signals to buyers and sellers. An assistant USDA secretary assured farmers that â&#x20AC;&#x153;farm profit is no longer possible with uncontrolled production.â&#x20AC;? Politicians cited the peril of surpluses to perpetually stifle the productivity of American farmers. Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments focusing on whether the federal government can compel individuals to purchase health insurance. Like FDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricul-

tural policy, contemporary health care policy is a tangle of manipulation and contradictions. Politicians complain about soaring health care costs, neglecting to mention that Medicare and other government subsidies disrupted the markets for insurance and medical services just as U.S. farm markets were disrupted in the New Deal era. Unfortunately, thanks to the notion that the government is entitled to regulate whatever it subsidizes, politicians feel entitled to rule anyone who depends on a market that they mangle. Does the Supreme Court believe politicians have a divine right to perpetuate their power regardless of how many foolish policies they previously uncorked? It would be far preferable to compel legislators, bureaucrats â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Supreme Court justices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to take a Hippocratic Oath promising to â&#x20AC;&#x153;First, do no harm.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; James Bovard is the author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Farm Fiasco,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Attention Deficit Democracyâ&#x20AC;? and seven other books.

Cider makers tap growing demand By Shannon Dininny The Associated Press

SEATTLE — In one corner of the Northwest’s largest wine tasting event, a handful of hard cider makers peddled potions fermented from Washington apples, pears, cherries and apricots. No grapes? No problem for tasters. Wine connoisseurs and cider buffs alike could expect to see more such products to sample in the future. Hard cider — traditionally the homegrown product of hobby farmers with backyard presses — has surged in popularity in the past decade, making it the fastest-growing alcohol market nationally. Nowhere is that growth more evident than the Northwest, home to the craft beer movement and hundreds of wineries. The Northwest Cider Association, which was created two years ago, has grown to more than a dozen members, keeping the region on pace with Northeast states. Now, Washington researchers are working to boost the state’s cider industry by building a database of apple

“Where craft beer is doing well, we’re doing well. A lot of stores in Washington and Oregon, and a couple of pockets around the country, understand that if you want to sell a lot of cider, you have to have varieties of cider on the shelf.” — James Kohn, Wandering Aengus Ciderworks

varieties to help growers and cider makers develop new products. “This is a very strong industry and demand is still very high,” said Carol Miles of a Washington State University research and extension center in Northwest Washington. “The opportunity for putting a product on the market is very good.” Cider has long been a popular beverage in Europe, where it often replaces wine on dinner tables in regions where grapes don’t flourish. Working-class Americans also enjoyed cider well into the 19th century, but as beer became more widely available, it soon replaced cider as the libation of choice.

Despite recent growth, cider remains a relatively small, niche market in the United States. And in Washington, the country’s apple-producing capital, few orchards are devoted to the apple varieties traditionally pressed for cider. Retail sales of cider have grown 30 percent nationally over the past year, though that figure doesn’t include many artisanal cider producers, said James Kohn of Wandering Aengus Ciderworks in Salem. Wandering Aengus, created in 2004, produces the national CiderCon conference, where attendance doubled in its second year in March. “Where craft beer is doing well, we’re doing well,” Kohn

said. “A lot of stores in Washington and Oregon, and a couple of pockets around the country, understand that if you want to sell a lot of cider, you have to have varieties of cider on the shelf.” That’s where the research effort comes in: WSU’s Northwest Washington center in Mount Vernon, which grows 60 varieties of traditional cider apples, received $70,000 in two grants to compile fruit profiles and research better harvesting methods over the next two years. They include growing trees on trellises, as is becoming widely used in the commercial apple industry, and harvesting apples with machines typically used to harvest raspberries. Already, Washington’s cider industry has experienced so much growth that cider makers are importing juice from other states. “We just don’t produce enough cider juice to satisfy our current cider makers,” Miles said. “Given this is an apple state, we’d like to see both sides of the industry grow together.”

FEATURED OBITUARY

Former Mexican President de la Madrid paved way to free market, NAFTA By Marc Lacey New York Times News Service

Miguel de la Madrid, a former president of Mexico whose derided handling of the earthquake that devastated Mexico City in 1985 was the beginning of the end for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, died Sunday morning in a Mexico City hospital. He was 77. His death was confirmed by his office. No cause was specified, but de la Madrid had been hospitalized with emphysema for the past three months, said his private secretary, Delia Gonzalez. A Harvard-educated technocrat, de la Madrid was elected in 1982 and presided over one of the most difficult six-year terms of any Mexican leader. He inherited an economy in crisis. After Mexico borrowed against oil revenues, it defaulted on its foreign debt. As inflation roared past 100 percent and unemployment reached 25 percent, the country struggled to apply freemarket principles to what had been a closed economy. To deal with the foreign debt emergency, de la Madrid imposed austerity measures that were widely unpopular. But he

is credited with setting Mexico on a path toward a free-market economy, which culminated in the country’s entering into the North American Free Trade Agreement with the United States and Canada in 1994. The most memorable event of his time in office was the magnitude 8.1 earthquake that leveled buildings across the capital on the morning of Sept. 19, 1985, and left an estimated 10,000 people dead. De la Madrid was seemingly absent for the first day and a half after the quake, and he initially refused international aid and played down damage that was obvious to all. When Mexicans saw that their government was failing to act, they cleared debris and searched for survivors on their own, giving rise to citizens groups that would later challenge Mexico’s authoritarian politics. Calling him a “gray president,” Lorenzo Meyer, a historian, said de la Madrid had been unlucky to inherit such a grave economic crisis and proved unable to extract the country from it. De la Madrid, Meyer said, was the father of Mexico’s political opposition, since it was his stubbornness that gave rise to it.

Contractors oppose education mandate By Molly Young The Oregonian

Doug Burns digs holes and moves dirt for living, the same way he has for 40 years. Five more, he figures, and he’ll retire. But a new state rule — and his opposition to it — could force him to make an early exit from his oneman Nehalem excavating operation. At issue is the three-hour class now required for Oregon contractors working on residential sites. With few exemptions, they must learn how to keep water out of homes in order to renew their licenses. That’s where the 64year-old has decided to dig in. He let his license lapse Dec. 29 in protest. “I’m in the dirt moving business,” Burns said. “I don’t own a hammer and a nail. Why would I take a class on water-tightening a house? “There is absolutely no reason in the world.” The Construction Contractors Board maintains there is. It’s part of an effort to drive down bonding costs, which skyrocketed as contractors built more and more houses during boom times. Its first-ever continuing education requirements for residential contractors took effect Oct. 1, meaning that operators renewing their licenses afterward must prove they’ve completed the 16-hour curriculum. Contractors stand to shell out at least $200 for the classes, on top of the $325 in licensing fees. The classes vary by

field, but three courses totaling eight hours are mandated for nearly everyone. None is as controversial as the class known almost ironically as BEST, or building exterior shell training. “I’ll tell you, I’m not the only one who’s not going to renew their license,” Burns said. “They better have plenty of jail space.” Although his reaction is extreme, he’s not alone. The onesize-fits-all requirement has sparked confusion and frustration among a diverse range of contractors, from driveway pourers to carpet layers wondering why they must take the class.

Longtime operators In itself, the newly required training has caught many off guard, especially longtime operators who for years have simply mailed a check and form to the board to renew their license. Several view it as needlessly heavy handed, particularly as they just begin to recover from the housing downturn. The requirements have so confounded Steve and Pam Huber that they simply stopped accepting work for the concrete business they started in 1988. The operation supplemented earnings from their small dairy farm near Nehalem, and it became even more essential after the couple adopted their two grandchildren. But they see few ways to fulfill the class requirements. Steve Huber’s daily milking responsibilities make it difficult to travel. And every time Pam Huber goes online to hunt for information about other options, she ends the search frustrated because she’s not sure exactly

what’s required. To avoid legal issues, they stopped accepting jobs. “We still have two little kids here that we have to support,” she said. “We can’t afford to have trouble down our throats.” A type of inexpensive siding widely used in the early 2000s, paired with the rainy Pacific Northwest, created a storm of construction claims, contractors board administrator Craig Smith said. Liability insurance costs increased 165 percent between 2003 and 2004. Something had to be done, he said. The Oregon Legislature in 2007 directed the board to create a series of classes for residential contractors, specifically addressing the construction defects. Commercial contractors are subject to a different set of requirements outlined in the state statute. For home contractors, the licensing board crafted a 16hour curriculum, split loosely into defined electives and mandated courses — codes, laws and the controversial building exteriors.

Some exemptions Certain operators, such as plumbers, electricians and arborists can secure an exemption from the latter. But all must certify they don’t perform work on the home structure itself. Excavating, paving, grading and concrete companies aren’t eligible for the exemption. “Even contractors who may not work on that shell need to understand how important the shell is,” Smith said. Taking the class in Salem isn’t essential. Although state trainers exclusively teach the required laws and regulation courses, they offer it online and

at a few spots throughout the state. A maze of private providers offer the other training online and in person for $150 to $200. While not a huge expense, it’s a problem if the classes don’t apply to your job, said Jon Chandler, chief executive of the Oregon Home Builders Association. The group offers the curriculum online through its Home Builders University. Even for Chandler, it’s tough to explain why every contractor must learn about home exteriors. He’s heard numerous complaints, including some from lawmakers looking to an explanation. “If the agency doesn’t create education that is perceived as being a value,” he said, “then the program ought to go away.” Frustrations also have funneled to state Sen. Betsy Johnson, who has turned to the contractors board, trade groups and other legislators for answers. “I want to see a system that makes sense for the industry, protects the consumer — and has a degree of common sense involved,” she said. That could potentially happen. Because the contractors board operates on a two-year renewal period, organizers could introduce new courses for the next cycle, which starts in October 2013. But for now, contractors not granted exemptions must meet all requirements. That can hit some harder than others, Johnson said, especially those in rural areas or whose businesses are struggling. “For some of them that have been in business for four decades with unblemished records, there (are) added costs and an extra inconvenience,” she said.

COBURG

City leaders mulling new push for enterprise zone • Last attempt by leaders met staunch resistance and cost mayor her job By Saul Hubbard The Register-Guard (Eugene)

COBURG — The first time city leaders here implemented an enterprise zone — in 1994, with hopes of luring businesses through tax breaks to a 217acre parcel just off Interstate 5 — the community’s reaction was as swift as it was decisive. Faced with widespread fears among residents that the community was abandoning its rural origins to become an industrial magnet, the City Council agreed to scrap the enterprise zone in the spring of 1995, only nine months after its creation. The following November, Coburg Mayor Mary Guldager was recalled, in large part because of her staunch support for the enterprise zone and its tax incentives, which at the time she acknowledged pushing through without necessary public input. Yet, with Lane County still limping along in its recovery from the recession and Coburg on the verge of moving forward with a major sewer project, city leaders are considering taking the plunge once again.

Acting mayor ‘intrigued’ Jae Pudewell, the acting Coburg mayor who is considering running for the position, said that although city leaders “are at the very beginning of” looking into a new enterprise zone, he is “intrigued” by the idea. “Economic development and opportunity are obviously at the top of (city councilors’) minds,” he said. “I’m certainly in favor of well-managed growth,” he added. Monaco RV, one of the businesses that benefited from tax breaks when the enterprise zone was created in 1995, laid

off 450 workers last summer, when its parent company, Navistar, relocated recreational vehicle manufacturing operations to Indiana. About 150 employees remain at the Coburg site, down from 2,200 in 2007. In addition to empty Monaco buildings, there are several sites and buildings for lease or sale in Coburg’s industrial park along Coburg Industrial Way, as well as along Roberts Road to the south.

Revenue for new sewers Getting new businesses into those spaces could help pay for the $25 million new sewer system, much of which is expected to be built this year, Pudewell said. Under current plans, city residents are on the hook for a monthly sewer assessment of approximately $80. “We do need more ratepayers, a bigger tax base,” Pudewell said. In an enterprise zone, businesses — both existing or new — get a three-year waiver on property taxes on any new construction they undertake if they create new jobs. That exemption can be extended to five years if the new jobs are high-paying. An enterprise zone sunsets after 10 years, but it can be renewed. Jack Roberts, executive director of Lane Metro Partnership, a local economic development agency, said that enterprise zones can play a key role in getting businesses into a community and onto the tax roll, even if it means waiving property tax revenue for the first few years. “We see (the available land in Coburg) as a great local inventory that would be attractive to a lot of different types of businesses,” he said. When competing with another location for a new business, Roberts said an enterprise zone’s tax incentive “helps you break the tie.” The first step toward establishing a new Coburg enterprise zone was taken care of by the Legislature during its

monthlong session this February. State law had previously barred any city that prematurely had terminated an enterprise zone — something only Coburg had done — from ever sponsoring another. Roberts, helped by Rep. Phil Barnhart, a Eugene Democrat whose district includes Coburg, drafted an amendment that would require only a 10year ban for a city that scraps an enterprise zone early, a penalty period that has already elapsed for Coburg. The clause was added to a separate Republican-backed measure that adds eight new enterprise zones to the 60 zones already in place throughout the state. The bill was easily approved by the Legislature, and Gov. John Kitzhaber signed it into law last week. Barnhart said establishing a “probationary period of 10 years” for a city made much more sense than “the death penalty” of never being able to have another enterprise zone. Changing the law at least gives Coburg the option of looking into a new zone, Barnhart said. But “ultimately, it’s going to be up to the city and its people whether they want to do it,” he said. “My suspicion is that the recession got people thinking that we need more jobs in Central Lane County and they’ll be more open to it,” Barnhart added.

Lots of public input Pudewell said that the City Council plans to look at the possibility of an enterprise zone methodically and with lots of public input. That might mean the city misses the June 8 deadline for a new zone application this year. But Roberts said the eight new zones available this year will most likely mean that there is “a substantial inventory” of available enterprise zone designations “for the next couple of years.” “Most folks that want an enterprise zone already have one,” he said.

What really saves energy?

Investing with ease

Akron Beacon Journal

Replacing windows A lot of good arguments can be made for replacing old, leaky windows. They’ll make your home more comfortable. They can solve condensation problems and prevent moisture damage. They might boost your home’s resale value. But they won’t pay for themselves in energy savings, Blasnik said. In a study he completed for Concord Municipal Light in the Boston area, he determined that replacing 15 old windows would save $42 to $112 per year. Even at that higher number, it would take more than 62 years’ worth of energy savings to pay for $7,000 worth of windows.

ULTRABOOK

You’ve read the energy-saving tips. You’ve armed yourself with caulk. You’re ready to do some serious damage to your gas and electric bills. Not so fast. Some common recommendations for cutting energy use don’t save as much as we’re led to believe, said Michael Blasnik, a building-science consultant from the Boston area. Blasnik analyzes and evaluates energy efficiency claims, and he’s found that some widely cited savings don’t hold up to GREEN scrutiny. “A lot of things have really not been evaluated. … It’s remarkable how little research has been done on what really saves energy,” Blasnik said. He’s out to change that. In an effort to figure out what really works, he’s done analysis that includes studying the utility bills of homeowners who participate in home weatherization programs and comparing their savings to the expectations offered by such sources as government agencies, utility companies and, yes, newspaper articles. In the process, he’s busting some energy-saving myths. That’s not to say those things aren’t worth doing. Some might make your home cleaner or more comfortable, or they may be important to maintaining what you own. And there’s an argument to be made that even tiny savings add up for the greater good. What’s more, Blasnik is quick to note that variables such as how we live, how our homes are built and the climates we live in make it impossible to come up with exact numbers across the board. But the bottom line is if you undertake some energy-saving measures with expectations of slashing your energy bills, you may be disappointed, Blasnik said. Here are what he considers some of the least effective recommendations.

Weather-sealing windows and doors Caulking and weatherstripping windows and doors is a better idea for increasing comfort than saving energy, Blasnik said. Maybe 20 percent of the air leakage in a house is through the windows and doors — even less in a newer, tighter home, he said. Blasnik said the bulk of the leakage in a typical home is from air coming into the basement, traveling up through wall cavities and escaping through the attic. In his research, caulking and weatherstripping doors and windows saved $7 to $28 a year. See Energy / C3

Big venture-capital firms tend to offer big wads of cash to a few companies each year in exchange for considerable control. Angel investors are more willing to invest, although they pay smaller amounts for smaller stakes in businesses. With lower income requirements, more people will be eligible to make investments. Some Oregon business leaders contacted for this article said they have not kept abreast of the changing details of the legislation dealing with crowd-funding. But at least two believe the proposed policies could lead to helpful new opportunities for businesses and investors alike. Diane Fraiman, a Portland-based venture partner with Voyager Capital, headquartered in Seattle, sees the bill as a tool that could put in play a new channel for business investing.

What’s an ultrabook? It’s an absolutely gorgeous, sleek wedge of a laptop, clad in shining brushed metal. There’s no DVD drive. The battery is sealed and nonremovable. The keys protrude through individual square holes in the laptop’s deck. The multitouch trackpad is buttonless — you get different clicks by pressing different spots. You generally need a separate adapter dongle if you want to connect to EthTECH ernet or a VGA projector. And there’s no hard drive. Instead, you get a solid-state drive (SSD), which is sort of like a giant memory card. It helps with battery life and fast startup times. Those expensive SSDs make ultrabooks ultra-expensive ($900 and up), and you get very little storage, usually 128 gigabytes. In a laptop with a regular hard drive, you can get eight times that much storage — for a lot less money. So what is an ultrabook? It’s MacBook Air that runs Windows. That’s just about everybody’s description — except Intel, which developed the concept. (“Was the MacBook Air an inspiration for this category?” I asked Intel’s PR team. “No,” was the answer. “The Ultrabook category was conceptualized out of multiple rounds of research going back several years.” Well, chalk up one for mind-blowing coincidence.) Because of the tiny storage, an ultrabook doesn’t make a good primary computer and can store only wee photo, music and video collections. Forget high-horsepower games, too. And to install software, you’ll either have to buy an external DVD drive or stick to downloadable software. See Ultrabook / C6

A & A

Happily single woman hesitates before marrying Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a woman in my early 30s. When I was a teenager, boys never looked my way, but since my early 20s nearly every guy Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had friendly contact with has fallen in love with me. I have been proposed to six times. I was married twice and hated it both times. I have been single for a few years and love it. I have mostly avoided men during this time because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if any man would want to just casually date me. I started dating again about six months ago and have been seeing a man who is fantastic. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of man I have been looking for â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kind, eventempered, well-spoken, etc. He has hinted at marriage, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m terrified because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid that I will â&#x20AC;&#x153;loseâ&#x20AC;? myself. The idea of going to the next level makes me want to end the relationship. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid if I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commit to this man, certainly no other man would have a chance. How do I know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m better off single where things are good, or take a chance on another marriage where things may not turn out so well? Is marriage for everyone? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Happily Single â&#x20AC;Ś For Now Dear Happily Single â&#x20AC;Ś For Now: Because of the number of Americans who are divorced or living together without marriage, I would have to say no, marriage isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for everyone. But when you get it right and have built a strong, loving, mutually respectful partnership, nothing can beat it. Have you learned from the failure of your two marriages? If so, then you have matured from the experience. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re planning to have children, it is to their advantage to live in a two-parent household. That said, if you truly feel you are happier being single, then single you should remain because there are no guarantees that a marriage will be successful. Marriage can only be as

DEAR ABBY strong and lasting as the couple entering into it are determined it will be. And that takes love, understanding, empathy and willingness to compromise. Dear Abby: Our daughter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gabi,â&#x20AC;? is 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost 16. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active and healthy, but for the past few years she has been putting on weight. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs more than 160 pounds and has a curvy, feminine body. Despite the fact that my wife and I are both thin, my wife will not encourage her to watch her weight. Actually, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supportive of our daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing size. She told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gabi can gain up to 25 more pounds and, combined with her height, be a pretty plus-size.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to force my daughter into a modelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size, but I am concerned about her health. This problem would be easier to manage now than attempting to lose the weight in the future. Please help me present the importance of being proactive with Gabi in this difficult time of maturity. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Caring, Supportive Dad Dear Dad: The most qualified person to do that would be your family physician, or Gabiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pediatrician if she has one. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common knowledge that there is an obesity epidemic in this country, and if your daughter continues to pack on the pounds, she could be at risk for serious health problems. Your wife may be going to the opposite extreme in trying not to make your daughter selfconscious about her weight. I agree with you that this is a subject that is better addressed now than later. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Horoscope: Happy Birthday for Monday, April 2, 2012 By Jacqueline Bigar If you ever were to be described as dramatic, it would be this year. You have an energy, spirit and unusual sensitivity to people and situations. Note a tendency to be too proud for your own good. Pride can cause separation between you and a loved one. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jeopardize this relationship because of a newfound confidence. If you are single, you might get into dating much more than in past years. Anytime from summer on could bring a special person down your path. LEO always wants his or her way. The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but respond to others, and they to you. The connection is evident, whether at work or on the golf course. It also gives all parties involved greater confidence. Indulge in the present vibes. Tonight: Smile and the world smiles with you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You wake up feeling perky and full of energy. Nearly wherever you are, the good vibes will possess you. The problem is that, as jubilant as you are, you might not care about your routine. Make sure that is OK. When the Bull overindulges, it is not by a little bit. Tonight: Invite a friend over. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You generally say the correct words and do the correct actions. As you cruise into your day, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy your conversations even more than usual. Though sometimes it is a chore, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to a meeting today with ease and a smile. Your good nature permeates everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even consider being alone. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Treat yourself well â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even better than usual. If you need to take some time off for a personal matter, do so. Consider signing up for a class to develop a favorite pastime or sport. Others might opt for a gym membership to trim up for the summer. Tonight: Indulge yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You radiate energy. The way you walk, your smile â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it all reflects your unusual vitality. Others cannot help but respond. Your mind could drift to a trip, someone at a distance or an important discussion with an erudite individual. Tonight: Practice the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? Too many

people seek you out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Your mind drifts when it is not working overtime. You wonder about all the effort you are putting into a project and/or a relationship. Do not isolate yourself unnecessarily. A partner or close friend tries to lure you out of this semi-recluse mode. Will you go for the bait? Only you can decide. Tonight: Your energy level calls the shots. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your ability to zero in on someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs might amaze that person, but it also could make him or her uncomfortable. Do not let others become aware of your sensitivity. A meeting is very important. Listen well, as you could miss an important point. Tonight: Among the crowds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to approach a situation differently. Others are very aware of what you are doing and why. Be aware that you have little privacy at the present time, and make your decisions accordingly. Maintain your boundaries. Tonight: To the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your mind will take off if your body cannot follow. Some of you might be professional armchair travelers. Others could have their minds drift to distant lands or special people during discussions. Tonight: Get physical. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Deal directly with others. Everyone appreciates being the focus of one personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. Note the immediate reaction of one-on-one relating. Do not forget a special person in your life. Consider an investment involving your home or property. Tonight: Dinner for two. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to let someone else run with the ball, especially if this person thinks he or she has a better idea than you. Remember, nothing can replace experience. Check in on an overindulgent family member. Tonight: Let a friend make the final call. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You will do more than your share in the next few days. You know how to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;enough is enough,â&#x20AC;? especially if you feel you are picking up someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slack. Many people want to share their feelings with you. Tonight: Make it early. ÂŠ 2011 by King Features Syndicate

Closing the refrigerator door quickly Despite the harping of moms everywhere, standing in front of an open refrigerator while you ponder its contents will not drive up your electricity bill, Blasnik said. The moment you open the door, the cooled air rushes out, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fairly trivial loss, he said. Most of the refrigeratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coldness is held not by the air but by the contents, and those contents wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t warm up significantly in the time it takes you to decide between the leftover pizza and last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meatloaf. You could open the refrigerator door hundreds of times before youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d waste the energy you do by putting a pot of hot soup into the refrigerator, he said.

Cleaning refrigerator coils Dirty coils, the reasoning goes, make your refrigerator work harder. Cleaning them may have been good energy-saving advice back when refrigerators gobbled electricity, but Blasnik said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer generally true. Most refrigerators built in the last 15 years use far less power than older models. So say your fridge uses $70 in electricity in a year. Cleaning your coils might

Small changes can pay off big So what does save energy in a home? Not surprisingly, consultant Michael Blasnik urges homeowners to have a blower door test done and to address big issues such as sealing attic leaks and insulating attics and walls. But smaller steps can pay off handsomely, too. Here are some low-cost, loweffort measures that can make a noticeable difference in your energy bills: â&#x20AC;˘ Unplug an underused refrigerator. Often the fridge in the basement or garage is an older, inefficient model. Taking it out of service saves an average of $128 a year, according to the figures in Blasnikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Concord study. Likewise, unplugging a freestanding freezer would save an average of $96 annually. When you weigh the electricity cost against the savings from buying in bulk,

the freezer may not be worth it, he said. â&#x20AC;˘ Change the thermostat when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re asleep or away. Turning the heat down 8 degrees for eight hours a day saves an average of $84 a year, although the savings are smaller in a highly efficient home. Get a programmable thermostat, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to think about it. â&#x20AC;˘ Set the furnace/air conditioner fan on automatic. The air handler fan generates a lot of heat, which warms your home and makes the air conditioner work harder in summer, Blasnik said. Switching the fan from on to automatic year-round will save a whopping $480 a year, on average. â&#x20AC;˘ Turn off the TV when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not watching. Some people keep the TV on for background noise. If you can break that habit, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save an average of $96 a year. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mary Beth Breckenridge, Akron Beacon Journal

changing the furnace filter once a season is enough. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you never have to change the filter. A filter that becomes clogged with dirt will restrict air flow, and that will make your furnace run less efficiently, Blasnik said.

Unplugging cellphone chargers Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably heard about vampire power, which is the standby electricity thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s used even when devices are turned off or arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actively operating. That was a problem five or 10 years ago and still is with some devices, Blasnik said, but in many cases manufacturers have greatly reduced that power use. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the case with cellphone chargers. Blasnik said todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chargers use an unmeasurably small amount of electricity when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not charging phones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the cents per year,â&#x20AC;? he said. So leaving yours plugged in when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in use wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break your energy budget.

Closing drapes at night make the refrigerator operate 10 percent more efficiently, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an annual saving of just $7, he pointed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clean your refrigerator coils,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Blasnik said. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to see a big difference in your electricity bill.

Changing the furnace filter monthly The main reason furnaces have filters is to keep dirt in

the air from fouling up the furnace. But at least in the case of inexpensive, standard furnace filters, they do a better job of filtering the air when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little dirty, Blasnik said. For high-efficiency filters that trap allergens, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d follow the directions on the filter. And he points out that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to start air conditioning season with a clean filter because air conditioners need adequate air flow. But otherwise, he thinks

Closing window treatments such as draperies, shades and blinds at night may make you more comfortable because they divert the flow of cold air. But Blasnik said that with standard window treatments, that air still gets in. On the other hand, opening window treatments on sunny days does save some energy, he said. The heat from the sun offsets heat loss through the window.

Ultrabook Continued from C1 But never mind all that. If you have the money, you’ll love how satisfying, beautiful and exquisitely designed these machines made by the major PC makers are. For most uses — email, Web surfing, chat, Microsoft Office, music, streaming movies — an ultrabook is pure joy. A MacBook Air still has the best combination of design, screen, keyboard, trackpad and battery life. But ultrabooks come close, and they offer the advantages of choice. For example, ultrabooks come in larger screen sizes, like 14 inches (Hewlett-Packard) and 15 (Samsung). You can buy an ultrabook with a nonglossy screen — the colors aren’t as vibrant, but you don’t get annoying reflections. Most ultrabooks have dedicated keys that Apple leaves out, like Home, End, Page Up and Page Down. Finally, most ultrabooks cost less than an Air, which is $1,300 for the 13-inch model. I tested ultrabooks from Acer, Asus, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba. Most have identical guts: 4GB memory, a 128GB SSD, Intel Core i5 processor, a 13-inch glossy screen (1366 x 768 pixels), an SD slot for your camera’s memory card, two or three USB jacks (including a USB 3.0 for faster charging of gadgets), a miniature HDMI jack for connecting to a TV, a Web camera, mike/headphone jacks and illuminated keys. Most weigh just under 3 pounds and get about six hours on a charge. In most cases, you can pay more for a bigger SSD (256 gigabytes) and faster Intel i7 processor. Despite those similarities, they have personalities all their own: Acer Aspire S3 ($800) — You read that price right: This is the least expensive ultrabook so far. To reach that price, Acer kind of cheated. The SSD is small (20GB) and holds only startup files; all your files go onto a traditional 320GB hard drive. Result: lower price, more storage, slower laptop. More compromises: The keys feel like you’re typing on concrete. The cursor keys are the size of Tic Tacs. Also, only the top is metal (a gorgeous muted silver). The keyboard, deck, palm rest and bottom are all plastic. The battery life isn’t great — about five hours. Asus Zenbook UX31E ($900) — Gorgeous dark gray metal lid, Bang & Olufsen circuitry for slightly richer sound. But the keyboard doesn’t light up, and the keys don’t travel much. You press the left and right lower corners of the trackpad to produce right and left clicks, but mine often produced the wrong kind of click. The screen has higher resolution than most (1600 x 900), meaning that you can see more without scrolling (at smaller

size). An 11-inch model is also available. Dell XPS 13 ($1,000) — “Dell” and “gorgeous” don’t generally appear in the same sentence. But the aluminum top, carbon fiber bottom and satisfying keyboard make this ultrabook a look-and-feel triumph. It’s thicker than most ultrabooks, but a whole inch shallower, so you can still work when the joker in front of you reclines his airplane seat. Sadly, there’s no memorycard slot, HDMI port, navigation keys or Ethernet jack (you can buy an Ethernet dongle). The trackpad never misses your clicks, but its multitouch response is flaky. Lenovo IdeaPad U300s ($1,050) — This solid, thin, exquisitely engineered black beauty doesn’t taper from front to back; instead, the top and bottom panels (available in charcoal or orange) protrude slightly, like the covers of a book. This machine is unbelievably pleasurable to use. Typing feels great; some engineer gave each keystroke just the right amount of movement and click. The trackpad is also superb. Only two omissions mar the perfection: no memory-card slot and no Ethernet jack. Otherwise: Mmmm. Samsung Notebook Series 9 ($1,400) — The black aluminum-alloy lid feels incredibly silky; just touching it is good for the soul. The screen is bright and vibrant — and it’s nonglossy. Thumbs-up on the keyboard, trackpad, weight (2.5 pounds) and battery. The only heartbreaker is the nosebleed pricetag. (Be careful to distinguish it from the 2011 model, which now goes for $970 and includes only a micro-SD slot.) I tried out the 15-inch model (coming in late April for $1,500): maybe the thinnest, most luscious-looking, most expensive 15-inch laptop ever. Thanks to its 8GB of memory, you might be able to get away with simple video editing — a good use for that vast screen. Toshiba PortEgE Z830 ($1,150) — This laptop is a delightful outlier for four reasons. First, it’s the world’s lightest ultrabook. It even feels a little hollow, and the screen flexes like a piece of shirt cardboard — but at 2.47 pounds, it practically needs a paperweight. Second, it’s the only ultrabook with a full suite of full-size jacks. There’s a real Ethernet socket, a real VGA port for projectors, a real HDMI port for TV sets. You even get an extra USB socket (three in all). How great not to have to pack a bunch of dumb little dongles! Third, there are dedicated buttons beneath the trackpad. They’re plastic chrome fingerprint magnets, but at least they never miss a click. Whatever your choice, an ultrabook can bring you many pleasures. Starting with the day it arrives, when the delivery guy slips it under the door.

Whale sharks, like this 19-foot 8-inch female at the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise aquarium amusement park complex near Tokyo, are now protected off the coast of Belize and Mexico. “They are beautiful and graceful,” said Rachel Graham, a conservation biologist.

Sharks Continued from C1 You are a citizen of Belize. Did you grow up here? No. I spent a large part of my childhood in Tunisia, that little tinderbox that last spring sparked so many changes in the world. I’m very excited to be from there. My British mother and American father were international vagabonds who met while teaching in Sierra Leone. We were this migratory family. Wherever we lived, I was always bringing home creatures — lizards, snakes, scorpions. Perhaps because I was this blue-eyed tomboy in places where no one else was that, I identified with marginalized animal species. My mother tells the story of my coming home from school, complaining: “It’s so boring there. Nobody wants to talk about piranhas or sharks!” What appeals to you about sharks?

Investing Continued from C1 Venture-capital companies such as Voyager conventionally cut multimilliondollar deals with rising businesses. Crowd-funding sites permitted under the new legislation would play an intermediary role for smaller amounts of money. That kind of investing likely would work best for easy-to-pitch companies that do business directly with customers, such as those that want to make products or run restaurants, and aren’t seeking more than, say, $500,000, Fraiman said. That’s because those companies could excite investors with clear descriptions on a website, as opposed to a proposal from a company that wants to develop complex infrastructure, she said. “I think the idea of getting those (easy-to-grasp companies) funded is fabulous,” she said. The crowd-funding sites could empower people with small purses to start invest-

They are beautiful and graceful. And they are migratory, like my family was. On an ecological level, they play an important role because they keep their prey species in check. The other thing is that once you get to know them, you can see that there’s great intelligence there. They haven’t been around for almost 400 million years without having evolved tremendous smarts. One of the species I study — the whale shark — they are the most brilliant of navigators. They travel thousands of miles without a compass, and they arrive at a certain spot in Belize each year just when the reef fish are spawning and there’s a wonderful buffet for them to eat. Give us a summary of the state of the world’s sharks. About 17 percent of 1,200 species of sharks and rays are threatened with extinction. For those species that swim in the open ocean, the num-

ing, which in turn would add to the pool of money available, she said. Steve Westberg, a Bend business consultant who managed the company that invested in the winner of last year’s Bend Venture Conference, saw the expansion of the group of people permitted to invest would bode well for businesses. “I think it’s a viable funding option you’d have to think about,” he said, adding that he would be willing to try investing on a crowd-funding site if he could obtain adequate information about the companies interested in taking on investments. Indeed, companies that choose to try crowdfunding have to submit financial data to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the proposed legislation. But raising money on

growing businesses across the country. “Crowd-funding has the potential to unleash a wave of new economic opportunity by letting small businesses and start-up companies use the Internet to harness the ‘wisdom of the crowd’ to fund new investments,” he said in a news release. “Small businesses are our engines of job creation, so I am excited about this new marketplace and the potential for small businesses with great ideas to see breakthroughs in their ability to grow and create jobs.”

crowd-funding sites would not come without possible risks for investors and companies. Westberg thought the crowd-funding model could pose challenges for businesses that try it. Taking on many shareholders could complicate internal communications and could be a turnoff for venture-capital firms that might otherwise want to infuse additional money, he said. Fraiman said she expects horror stories to eventually come out about crowd-funding. It could be risky to pass money to a burgeoning company whose leader an investor can’t always meet face to face, she said. Then again, she said, most investments assume a certain amount of risk. Merkley, for his part, believes crowd-funding can become a critical means of

er much more difficult to protect other species of sharks and rays because they are a large component of fisheries. However, this law has been a great thing for shark conservation, in general. It’s nice to be able to say: “OK, you’ve done this. Let’s do the same for the other shark species.” Knowing these animals as intimately as you do, do you ever feel despair about what is happening to them? Actually, I’m optimistic. There still are sharks left, and so with many of the species, there is time to reverse what we’ve done to them. Think back to when turtles were thought of as jewelry boxes and fodder for soup. Today if there’s any mention of turtle slaughters, it becomes big news. So I think there’s a big chance for changing how people feel about sharks and rays. As people learn more about them, they see that their slaughter is unsustainable and morally wrong.

bers are even more dire. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature reports that a third of them are threatened. Most of their decline seems to be due to overfishing for shark fin soup — a prestige food in many parts of Asia. I can see firsthand what those statistics mean whenever I go diving. Twenty years ago, if you went out on the barrier reef here, you’d stand a good chance of seeing several of the giant toothy sharks — a hammerhead or a blacktip. Today, if you’re lucky, you might see a nurse shark or a stingray. Was it hard to win that ban on whale shark fishing here in Belize? It was pretty low-hanging fruit, actually. People just adore whale sharks. They are huge and beautiful, with incredible spotted markings. Whale sharks are quite friendly, and they are filter feeders, so they lack those terrifying big teeth.

COMMENTARY

Locals excel on the diamond • Several baseball players from Central Oregon are succeeding after their high school careers are over Novak Djokovic kisses the trophy after defeating Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6 (4) in the men’s final at the Sony Ericsson Open.

Djokovic wins Key Biscayne KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — Two boys stood on the top row of the stadium, beautiful Biscayne Bay at their back and the world’s best tennis player down below, as they waved a sign in his support. “Djokovic in the house,” it read. From the youngsters’ remote perch, Novak Djokovic looked like a tiny figure, yet he still loomed large. The topranked Djokovic won his third Sony Ericsson Open title Sunday, holding every service game to beat Andy Murray 6-1, 7-6 (4). Djokovic improved to 20-2 this year and 90-8 since the start of 2011. He didn’t lose a set in six rounds at Key Biscayne. “I’m playing at the peak of my form ... the best tennis that I have played,” Djokovic said. “I have to use that as much as I can.” He also won the tournament in 2007 and last year. Only six-time champion Andre Agassi has more men’s titles at Key Biscayne. Mulling how to celebrate his latest trophy, Djokovic said he might violate his gluten-free diet. “I cannot guarantee anything,” he said with a laugh. “I think I deserve a fresh bagel.” It was Djokovic’s first championship since he won the Australian Open in January for his fifth Grand Slam title and third in a row. Now the clay season begins, culminating with the French Open, the only major Djokovic has yet to win.

n Thursday, Madras High graduate Jacoby Ellsbury and the Boston Red Sox open the 2012 Major League Baseball season with a day game at Detroit’s Comerica Park against the Tigers. Ellsbury, who finished second in the American League’s Most Valuable Player voting last season after hitting .321 with 32 home runs and 105 runs batted in, looks to cement his status as one of the game’s premier players with another standout performance this year.

BEAU EASTES Boston’s All-Star center fielder, though, is hardly the only baseball player with Central Oregon ties excelling in the sport beyond high school. Darrell Ceciliani, who graduated from Madras High in 2008, is expected to start his fourth season

of professional baseball with the New York Mets’ advanced Single A club in Port St. Lucie, Fla. The 21-year-old Ceciliani, an outfielder who bats and throws left-handed, has climbed the Mets’ minor league ladder every season since being selected by the National League club in the fourth round of the 2009 MLB draft. Ceciliani won a batting title in short-season A ball with the Brooklyn Cyclones in 2010 and hit .259 and stole 25 bases last year in 109 games while playing for the Savannah Sand Gnats, the Mets’ affiliate in the Class A South Atlantic League.

Power programs Kansas, Kentucky to meet in final By Eddie Pells The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — Jayhawks or Wildcats, take your pick. Either can make a case for this being “their” year. For Kansas, a season that started with low expectations keeps getting better, filled with highwire comebacks and an inescapable feeling that this was simply Kentucky’s meant to be. For Kentucky, a cadre of NBA- Anthony caliber players have had the word Davis “champion” practically imprinted on their chests since they gathered at Rupp Arena for the season’s first practice. They meet today for the NCAA championship, a history-filled matchup between the two win- Kansas’ ningest programs in college bas- Thomas ketball history. This is the one- Robinson and-dones at Kentucky vs. juniors and seniors at Kansas; Anthony Davis vs. Thomas Robinson in a front-court battle of AllAmericans; a title-game coaching rematch between John Calipari and Bill Self; a high-stakes meeting between one team whose founder invented the game and another that likes to claim its legendary coach perfected it.

SKIING Kelley takes U.S. giant slalom title WINTER PARK, Colo. — Robby Kelley closed out the U.S. championships with a win in the giant slalom as temperatures soared into the mid-60s. The 21-year-old Kelley finished in a combined time of 2 minutes, 15.03 seconds on Sunday to beat Espen Lysdahl and Leif Kristian Haugen, who are both from Norway. Defending champion Tommy Ford, of Bend, finished a distant 22nd, more than four seconds behind Kelley. Kelley comes from impressive ski lineage. His mom, Lindy, was a 1976 Olympian, while his cousin, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, is the junior world downhill and combined champion. Another cousin, Jimmy Cochran, just announced his retirement from the U.S. ski team. After seeing No. 1 flash on the scoreboard after his run, Kelley said: “I couldn’t really control my emotions. I started fist pumping, just an awesome feeling.” — The Associated Press

The temperatures are in the 80s, and Tiger Woods is in the spotlight. The golf season must be about to start for real. Sure, the PGA Tour has been going since January. But for many golfers and fans of the game, the official start of the season will occur Thursday when the Masters begins in Augusta, Ga. One player who is ready is veteran Tom Watson. Despite being forced to withdraw from a Champions Tour event last month in California because of a wrist injury, Watson is set to play in his 39th Masters. See Masters / D5

Brandt and Tania Piper, offers two two-day clinics — one in May and one in June — both aimed at beginner to intermediate female riders of all ages. The cost for Grit Clinics runs $250 per two-day clinic ($225 for returning 2011 participants), and riders can register at Pine Mountain Sports. Together, Dirt Divas and Grit Clinics offer women who want to ride, especially those just starting out, a safe, nonjudgmental and fun environment to learn in, as well as other women to learn with.

S B Baseball • Ducks sweep Sun Devils: No. 23 Oregon completed its sweep of No. 14 Arizona State as closer Jimmie Sherfy struck out Nathaniel Causey with the bases loaded in the top of the ninth inning to preserve the Ducks’ 4-3 victory in Eugene. Sherfy earned his sixth save of the season, but Oregon (18-8, 6-3) needed its three-run cushion entering the ninth as UO’s closer surrendered two runs on four hits and one walk in one inning of relief. Aaron Jones led the Ducks at the plate with a two-for-three performance, driving in Oregon’s first three runs. Ryon Healy and Kyle Garlick went two-for-four for the Ducks. Oregon returns to action on Thursday at UCLA in a threegame series. • Beavers take series over Huskies: Jace Fry held Washington to two hits over seven innings, and Tyler Smith drove in the game-winning runs in the fifth as the 22nd-ranked Oregon State baseball team defeated Washington, 5-3, Sunday at Goss Stadium in Corvallis. The win gave the Beavers the series victory — their second in three over a Pac-12 Conference opponent this season. Fry went a season-long seven innings and threw a season-high 110 pitches to improve to 2-1 this season. He allowed two hits and three runs — all of which were unearned as the Beavers committed three errors in the first two innings. Oregon State hosts Portland in a nonleague game on Tuesday, with first pitch at 5:35 p.m.

Soccer • U.S., Japan draw 1-1 at Kirin Cup: Alex Morgan scored in the 72nd minute in Sendai, Japan, to give the United States a 1-1 draw with Japan, the team that beat them in the final of the Women’s World Cup last year. Yukari Kinga beat goalkeeper Hope Solo from close in to give Japan a 1-0 lead in the 32nd. The United States created opportunities on the right wing, but Japan’s superior speed was dangerous on the counterattack. • Another fan shot dead in Brazil: A football fan was killed in a fight between rival groups in central Brazil on Sunday, the fourth fatality resulting from fan violence in less than a month. Authorities said Sunday that 23year-old Diego Rodrigo Costa de Jesus died after being shot in the back during a confrontation between supporters from Goias and Vila Nova in the central city of Goiania on Saturday. Two Palmeiras fans were killed last week in a fight at Sao Paulo, and a Guarani supporter died two weeks ago about 100 kilometers away.

Basketball • Jordan says he’s 100 percent committed to Bobcats: Michael Jordan said Sunday that he’s 100 percent committed to the Charlotte Bobcats and has no intention of selling the struggling NBA franchise. The Bobcats have lost 12 of their past 14 games and own the league’s worst record at 7-43, but Jordan says he isn’t ready to bail out on the team after the Hall of Famer bought control of the organization from

Bob Johnson in March 2010. The New York Daily News reported Sunday that Jordan has contemplated selling if the team doesn’t turn things around — both in performance and profitability. • Kentucky’s Davis, Kansas’ Self receive Naismith awards: Kentucky star Anthony Davis won the Naismith Trophy for men’s college player of the year. Also, Kansas coach Bill Self was named coach of the year, the third coach from Kansas to receive the honor (Larry Brown, 1988; Roy Williams, 1997). Davis is the first player from Kentucky to win the award and the second freshman, joining Texas’ Kevin Durant in 2007. • Police in Kentucky assess handling of post-game mayhem: A day after raucous celebrations led to more than two dozen arrests, police said Sunday that they are ready to control crowds near the University of Kentucky’s campus when the Wildcats play Kansas for the national championship. Lexington city police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts told The Associated Press on Sunday that several hundred officers will be out in force today to help keep order. Police plan a few adjustments from Saturday, when thousands of fans spilled onto streets after Kentucky defeated cross-state rival Louisville in New Orleans. Fans torched couches and overturned a car before setting it ablaze. • Final Four ratings highest since 2005: Kentucky’s victory over rival Louisville and Kansas’ comeback win over Ohio State in New Orleans on Saturday night generated the highest ratings for a Final Four since 2005. The national semifinals pitting four powerhouse programs earned a 9.0 overnight rating and a 17 share, an increase of 1 percent over last season’s Final Four, which featured upstarts Butler and VCU along with Kentucky and eventual national champion Connecticut.

Cycling • Boonen wins Tour of Flanders: Tom Boonen won the Tour of Flanders for the third time in his career, beating Filippo Pozzato and Alessandro Ballan in a three-way sprint on Sunday in Oudenaarde, Belgium. On the penultimate climb, the three broke away with 18 kilometers, 12 miles, to go. In an open sprint to the line, Boonen held a bikelength margin over Pozzato for his first Tour of Flanders win since 2006.

Running • Gebremeskel, Dibaba win titles at Carlsbad 5000: Dejen Gebremeskel of Ethiopia has won the men’s championship at the Carlsbad 5000 in Carlsbad, Calif., for the second year in a row, tying for the fourth-fastest time ever on the roads in 13 minutes, 11 seconds. Fellow Ethiopian Tirunesh Dibaba regained the women’s title she won in 2005, finishing in 15:01. The 2008 Olympic champion at 5,000 and 10,000 meters, Dibaba ran away from the field over the closing stages and won by 12 seconds over Werknesh Kidane of Ethiopia. — From wire services

Missed 1-foot putt helps Yoo win her first LPGA major tournament GOLF ROUNDUP

The Associated Press RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Sun Young Yoo won the Kraft Nabisco Championship with an 18-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole Sunday, earning her first major title after I.K. Kim missed a 1-foot putt on the final hole of regulation. Yoo won the LPGA Tour’s first major of the season with steady play down the stretch, but she got to make the traditional leap into Poppie’s Pond only after Kim’s mind-boggling miss on the same green minutes earlier. “She’s a great putter,” Yoo said about Kim. “She usually doesn’t miss that kind of putt, but ... in sports, you never know what’s going to happen.” Yoo, who earned her second career LPGA Tour victory, and Kim finished at 9 under, but Kim could have all but wrapped up her first major with the tap-in par putt. Kim might have struck the ball oddly, and it toured the lip of the cup before coming out on the same side it entered. The gallery gasped, and Kim raised her left hand to her mouth in disbelief.

“I played straight, and it actually just broke to the right, even that short putt,” said Kim, a 23-year-old South Korean who lives in the Los Angeles area. “So it was unfortunate on 18, but ... I feel good about my game. It’s getting better.” Kim’s unbelievable miss on the Dinah Shore course will go down in tournament lore after a thoroughly wacky final round in which five players held the lead. Kim had been the most consistent contender amid those wild momentum swings, going bogey-free through 17 holes — until she made a mistake reminiscent of Scott Hoch’s missed 2-foot putt that would have won the 1989 Masters, and Doug Sanders’ miss on a 3-footer to win the 1970 British Open. “On the playoff hole, it’s just hard to kind of focus on what’s going on right now,” Kim said. “Because I was still a little bit bummed (about) what happened on 18, honestly.”

Yoo and Kim played the 18th again in the playoff, and Kim’s drive barely cleared the water, landing in the rough. She left a birdie putt short from the fringe, and Yoo calmly reached the green before burying her winning putt. In other events on Sunday: Mahan gets second win of season HUMBLE, Texas — Hunter Mahan won the Houston Open to become the first two-time winner this year on the PGA Tour, finishing with a 1-under 71 to beat Carl Pettersson by a stroke. Mahan, the Match Play Championship winner in February, finished at 16 under at Redstone. The victory moved Mahan to No. 4 in the world ranking, the first time he’s ever been the highest-ranked American. Olesen scores one-stroke victory SCIACCA, Sicily — Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen won the Sicilian Open for his first European Tour title, closing with a 3-under 69 for a one-stroke victory over England’s Chris Wood. The 22-year-old Olesen finished at 15-under 273 on the Verdura course.

NBA ROUNDUP

NBA SCOREBOARD

Aldridge, Blazers beat Love, Timberwolves The Associated Press PORTLAND — LaMarcus Aldridge will keep the words he had with Minnesota’s Kevin Love to himself. The two All-Stars jawed at times on Sunday night, when both scored 26 points but Aldridge’s Trail Blazers came out on top, 119-106. “It was just two guys going hard,” the diplomatic Aldridge said. Love also had nine rebounds for the Timberwolves, who have dropped eight of their past 10 games. He also brushed off the backand-forth with Aldridge, explaining it was probably something the Blazers’ star did to “get his team going, get the fans into it.” Nicolas Batum added 24 points for the Blazers, who like the Timberwolves are fighting to stay in the playoff picture. Portland continues to adjust to the dismissal of coach Nate McMillan and the trade of starters Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace at the deadline. Portland is now 5-5 under interim head coach Kaleb Canales, who has been juggling with his roster. On Sunday, the Blazers started J.J. Hickson, who was picked up on March 21 after he was waived by Sacramento. “We played a good game, played sound defense, we controlled the rebounds,” Batum said. “And we controlled Kevin Love.” The Timberwolves used nine players as they battle injuries, including the loss of rookie Ricky Rubio for the season. Minnesota guard J.J. Barea was out for the fifth straight game with a bruised right quadriceps and forward Michael Beasley missed his third game with a sprained big toe on his left foot. Center Nikola Pekovic, who has missed six games with bone spurs in his right ankle, was with the team on its short two-game road trip to Portland and Sacramento, but coach Rick Adelman said before the game that he would not play. “Losing Ricky was obviously the toughest thing for us. We were able to grind out games and get wins, but then Pek went down, J.J. continued to be hurt and Michael just added firepower,” Love said. “All four of those guys added something special to this team. When we were rolling we had everyone together.” Aldridge, who had eight rebounds, was back with the Blazers after missing Friday night’s loss to the Clippers with a sore left elbow. “I just blocked it out,” he said. “When I’m out there I’m going to play.” In other games on Sunday: Thunder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .92 Bulls . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .78 OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook scored 27 points, Kevin Durant added 26 points and 10 rebounds and Oklahoma City used a dominating third quarter to beat Chicago and move within a game of the Bulls for the NBA’s best record.

Red Wings win shootout, but Panthers secure valuable point The Associated Press DETROIT — The Florida Panthers are inching toward their first division title — one point at a time. Tomas Fleischmann scored in the first period and Scott Clemmensen made 31 saves, helping the Panthers hold off Detroit for 65 minutes before losing 2-1 in a shootout. The Red Wings came away with the victory, but Florida secured a valuable point to move three ahead of secondplace Washington in the Southeast

Division. “Nothing’s been given to us this year, and that’s the fun part of it,” Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. “This is what we’ve been playing for — to be a big part of the conversation as we move down the stretch.” Detroit’s Jiri Hudler scored with 14:30 remaining in the third period and again in the shootout. Pavel Datsyuk also scored in the shootout for Detroit, and Kris Versteeg missed high on Florida’s last attempt.

MOTOR SPORTS ROUNDUP

Newman wins wild finish at Martinsville The Associated Press MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Ryan Newman needed help and was running out of time. Finally, Clint Bowyer provided an opening with two laps to go at Martinsville Speedway. Bowyer’s aggressive move took out race leaders Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson entering the first turn, allowing Newman to slide into the lead, and he held off A.J. Allmendinger and Dale Earnhardt Jr. on another restart for his first win in 23 races. “We were not a dominant race car,” Newman said. “Clint kind of cleared out Turn One for us and we were fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time.” The reverse was true for Gordon, who led 328 laps, and Johnson, who led 112. The Hendrick Motorsports teammates seemed poised to battle it out to see which one would give owner Rick Hendrick his 200th Sprint Cup victory, and neither had a chance in the end. “Jeff and I had been the class of the field so I really thought it was going to be a race between the two of us, and it certainly didn’t turn out that way,” Johnson said. He wound up 12th, and Gordon was 14th. Of the restart, Johnson said: “That inside lane is awfully inviting at times to dive-bomb on people. The No. 15 (Bowyer) threw a dive-bomb in there. I’m sure once he got in there, he realized it wasn’t the best idea. It turned me around. It turned the No. 24 around.” Gordon angrily sought out Bowyer after the race, and heard the whole story. “He said he got hit from behind by the 39 (Newman),” Gordon said. “I had nowhere to go. Jimmie had nowhere to go. It was pretty unfortunate. ... I didn’t want to see that last caution. We had such a great battle with (Johnson). ... It was going to be an interesting race. “That’s just the way our year’s been going. It can’t go on like this forever.” Gordon improved three spots in the points standings, but is still just 22nd.

Power started ninth but took the lead on a late caution and pulled back in front of Dixon on the double-file restart with 16 laps left at Barber Motorsports Park. It was the second straight win for Chevrolet and Team Penske, which has won the first two races.

WOMEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL: NCAA TOURNAMENT

Final set: Notre Dame to battle Baylor

Eric Gay / The Associated Press

Connecticut center Stefanie Dolson, top, defends against Notre Dame guard Kayla McBride during the NCAA women’s semifinal in Denver, Sunday. Notre Dame won 83-75.

Final Continued from D1 Kentucky (37-2), in search of its eighth national title but its first since 1998, has five, maybe six, players who will be playing in the NBA soon. Most are freshmen and sophomores. None are better than Davis, the 6-foot-10 freshman who had 18 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks in Kentucky’s 69-61 win over Louisville in the semifinals. “Anthony Davis is a great player, but he’s not Superman,” Self said, clearly ignoring the fact that, only moments earlier, Davis had been walking around the Superdome with his practice jersey slung across his shoulders like a cape. As he has all year and all tournament, Calipari has not so much defended as explained his coaching philosophy, which is to go after the very best players and not demand they graduate, but only that they play team basketball for whatever amount of time they spend in the Commonwealth. “I don’t like the rules,” Calipari said. “I want Anthony to come back and be my point guard next year. It’s really what I want. There’s only two solutions to it. Either I can recruit players who are not as good as the players I’m recruiting or I can try to convince guys who should leave to stay for me.” He won’t do either. By pulling no punches, the coach finds himself working with the most talent — Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are likely lottery picks, while Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague and Doron Lamb are among the others with first-round potential. Calipari is a win away from the first national title of a stormy and controversial career, one that began as a volunteer assistant at Kansas. His first two trips to the Final Four have been vacated because of NCAA violations. Though his 2008 trip with Memphis is no longer in the record books, it’s clearly emblazoned in his memory. That team, led by Derrick Rose, had one essential flaw — bad free-throw shooting — and the coach dismissed it every time he was asked about it in the days and weeks leading to his final against Self and the Jayhawks. The Tigers missed four free throws down the stretch and blew a nine-point lead in what turned into an overtime loss that gave Kansas its third NCAA title. Lessons learned? Well, Calipari does make his team run more after bad freethrow shooting nights. But regrets? Not many. “At the end of the day, we had a nine-point lead,” he

Breaking down the Kentucky-Kansas championship game A look at tonight’s national title game between Kentucky (37-2) and Kansas (32-6):

KENTUCKY

KANSAS

Road to the title game: No. 1 Kentucky beat No. 16 Western Kentucky 81-65; No. 8 Iowa State 87-71; No. 4 Indiana 102-90; No. 3 Baylor 82-70; No. 4 Louisville 69-61. Star: Freshman Anthony Davis lived up to his billing as national player of the year with 18 points, 14 rebounds and five blocks in the win over Louisville. He was seven of eight from the field and added to his personal highlight reel with a one-handed dunk off an alley-oop pass and a flying leap off the court and over a row of media. One real positive was the way he called for the ball in the post in the second half as the Wildcats struggled from the perimeter. Coach: This will be John Calipari’s second championship game. His first was with Memphis four years ago — an overtime loss to Kansas and coach Bill Self. Calipari’s strategy of not fouling with the lead before a three-point shot could be attempted was questioned as Mario Chalmers buried a late three to tie the game and force overtime. Calipari did win the last meeting against Self, 75-65, at Madison Square Garden in the second game of the season. Key point: Kentucky’s roster is still loaded with NBA-level talent, but the Wildcats didn’t look like the offensive juggernaut it had been throughout the NCAA tournament, failing to reach the 80point mark for the first time. But the defense was just as good, if not better, holding Louisville to 34.8 percent shooting from the field, a stat the Wildcats led the nation in this season. One player who will be looking to make amends will be freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who was limited to 23 minutes because of foul trouble but still managed a couple of big dunks as the Wildcats took control in the final minutes.

Road to the title game: No. 2 Kansas beat No. 15 Detroit 65-50; No. 10 Purdue 63-60; No. 11 North Carolina State 60-57; No. 1 North Carolina 80-67; No. 2 Ohio State 64-62. Star: Thomas Robinson took over the semifinal in the second half, finishing with 19 points and eight rebounds. It was his presence inside that allowed the Jayhawks to finish with a 42-30 rebound advantage and stymied Ohio State’s frontcourt of Jared Sullinger and Deshaun Thomas, who were a combined eight for 33 from the field. This matchup pits him against Davis, his competition for national player of the year. Coach: Bill Self has a chance to join the select group of multiple championship coaches. He is 3-0 in his two Final Four appearances, and the latest win looked a lot like the Jayhawks’ others in this tournament — they found a way to win. Not much of a spotlight grabber, Self is considered one of the best in-game coaches, and his teams are known for the ability to shake off a poor first half, usually with a better defensive performance. Key point: Robinson did what is expected of him in the win over Ohio State; 7-foot center Jeff Withey had eight rebounds and seven blocks; and Elijah Johnson added 13 points and 10 rebounds — a big effort from the guard who doesn’t get most of the attention. Tyshawn Taylor, the guard who’s considered Robinson’s co-star, had 10 points and nine assists. He also had five turnovers — including a potential devastating one with 3.8 seconds left — and was zero for three from three-point range, leaving him zero for 20 from beyond the arc in the tournament.

THE SKINNY These are the two winningest programs in college basketball history. Each has an all-America big man and guards capable of taking over a game. The coaches are on most short lists of the best in the sport. This game has all the angles covered. Come on, what more do you want? THE PICK Most of the bracket sheets that haven’t been shredded still have Kentucky, the overall No. 1 seed, winning it all. The dream scenario would be for Kentucky to have a slim lead with the clock ticking down. The flashbacks to San Antonio in 2008 would be popping into everyone’s mind. Why not the same result? Kansas 73-71. — The Associated Press

said. “I have to figure something out. Go shoot the free throws myself, do something to get us out of that gym and I didn’t.” A year later, Cal was out of Memphis and putting the pieces in place for his run at Kentucky. It began with a trip to the Elite Eight, continued last year with a spot in the Final Four and oddsmakers have Kentucky as a 6.5-point favorite to seal the deal this year against Kansas. “Doesn’t bother us,” Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor said. “They’ve got high expectations, and they had a great year so the expectations should be high. What we think, though, is that we match up with them well. We feel confident going into this game.” And why not? Though the talent level may not be as strong as Kentucky’s from top to bottom, the Jayhawks (32-6) get more reinforcement every game

that anything is possible. On Saturday, they overcame a 13-point deficit against Ohio State for their latest escape act. Before that in the tournament, they won close ones against Purdue, North Carolina State and North Carolina. They were comeback kids in the regular season, as well — a season that began with low expectations for a roster that got hit hard by graduation and other departures, then fell to 7-3 after an ugly, unexpected home loss to Davidson. “I was a little frustrated because I thought that we were underachieving, underperforming,” Self said. “I thought we were a stale team. I thought we were slow. I thought we didn’t play with great energy. I thought the things we had to do to be successful, we weren’t committing to doing them.” Somewhere in that mess, however, he saw the potential.

Much of it shined through thanks to the development of Robinson, known for his first two years in college as a role player with NBA skills. He was allowed to blossom when he got regular playing time this season and is averaging

17.7 points and 11.7 rebounds a game. He was the only unanimous AP All-American and was in the conversation, along with Davis, in most of the player-of-the-year voting. “We know how good Thomas Robinson is,” Calipari said. “We all up here know. We went against him in New York. He is as good as they get. He’s a vicious competitor, great around a rim, expanded his game.” These teams met in November at Madison Square Garden, a 75-65 Kentucky victory in the second game of the season. There wasn’t much conversation about that one Sunday. More noteworthy were all the historical aspects of this game. Basketball, of course, was invented by James Naismith, who later went on to establish the KU basketball program in 1898. Adolph Rupp grew up in Kansas and learned the game under Naismith and the next KU coach, Phog Allen, then moved to Kentucky. Over four decades, “the man in the brown suit” won 876 games and four NCAA championships. So many iconic names have followed at both places: Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Brown, Danny Manning at KU; Dan Issel, Wes Unseld, Rick Pitino at Kentucky. Come tonight, somebody else could get their name up in the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse or Rupp Arena. “I dreamed about it as soon as I saw the brackets,” Self said. “I did look. I said, ‘How cool would it be to play Kentucky in the finals?’ You guys know better than me, but when do you have the two winningest programs in the history of ball playing each other? I don’t know when. From a historic standpoint, I think that’s really cool.’ ”

MONDAY, APRIL 2, 2012 • THE BULLETIN

Ladies Continued from D1 During a recent indoor riding session, I spoke with Brandt about Grit Clinics and Dirt Divas as we pedaled away on our trainers. “When we started Grit Clinics we knew we wanted a bike shop involved from the beginning,” said Brandt between deep breaths. “We (Brandt and Piper) are Pine Mountain Sports ‘Ambassadors’ — which means we do volunteer trail maintenance, lead postwork rides, and carry extra tubes and maps for assisting others while out on the trails. So when we originally started the clinics, we wanted to work with Pine (Mountain Sports) as a bike shop sponsor.” Around the same time that Brandt and Piper were brewing up Grit Clinics, Pine Mountain Sports was becoming increasingly interested in getting more women into cycling. As a result, Dirt Divas emerged, and Pine Mountain’s Taylor was enthused to lead the program. “I can’t remember if it was my idea first or Pine Mountain’s, but I can tell you when it came (time) to formulate Dirt Divas that I based it entirely on what I would have wanted to learn when I first started mountain biking,” Taylor recalled. “I also knew that an educated consumer would be the best consumer and that there was a definite need for adult mountain bike education (especially for women).” Taylor went on to talk about the main objective of Dirt Divas: to get women out riding, present them with basic explanations, techniques and skills, and then allow them ample practice time to progress. Although Dirt Divas and Grit Clinics are separate offerings linked by a shared sponsor, the two programs seem to help one another out. “Having Grit Clinics as part of Dirt Divas provides us with coaches to spur the women on,” said Taylor. “And Dirt Divas gives Grit Clinics participants a way to then go and practice what they’ve already learned.” Last season, Dirt Divas attracted such a large group of women (25 to 30 for each ride, according to Brandt and Taylor) that Brandt, Piper and Kelsey Kelley (a Grit Clinics guest coach) were asked to help lead the unexpectedly large rides, splitting into groups and offering suggestions along the way. For Grit Clinics’ first year, the turnout was no different and sessions were packed.

Masters Continued from D1 “There’s no problem at all,” Watson said. “It (the wrist) is 100 percent.” Watson will be playing in just his second tournament of the year. He tied for seventh at the Champions Tour’s Mitsubishi Electric Championship in January in Hawaii. Watson said he has been doing a lot of practicing, but he won’t know how good his game is for sure until he gets to Augusta. “I drove the ball well last year,” Watson said. “There are a lot of holes that they have tightened up. The key is to keep the ball in play. My iron game caused me some problems last year, so maybe I should be working on that more.” Watson, 62, had rounds of 79 and 72 last year and missed the cut for the 14th time in his

Grit Clinics Two-day mountain bike clinics for women of intermediate skill will take place May 12-13 and June 2-3 More information: www.gritclinics.com

“Last year was the inaugural year (for Grit Clinics) and we had an awesome turnout,” Brandt beamed. “We had four clinics and we weren’t sure what to expect. They filled up within the first month of opening registration. There was even a wait list.” During last summer’s clinics, Brandt, Piper and several guest coaches worked with beginner to intermediate riders.

Looking back on the clinics, Brandt noted how many of the participants met other women they could then ride with on their own time, outside of the clinics. Undeniably, a solid support network for new female mountain bikers had been formed. Although the format has changed slightly, prospects for this season look quite similar. “As far as format goes, the

career. The year before that, however, Watson showed that he can still be competitive, finishing in 18th place with a total of 1-under 287. “My goal is to keep it at par or under,” Watson said. “I can’t afford to shoot 75 or 76.” Watson said it is crucial for him to be successful on holes 5, 14 and 17, which are more difficult for him to reach in regulation than for younger players. “The proper approach is tough,” Watson said, “because I have to hit a pretty long club into those greens. My game hasn’t lengthened, unlike the kids.” Another player who isn’t a kid anymore but hopes to play well this week is Fred Couples. Couples, 52, will be in the field for the 28th time. He has made the cut 25 times with 11 top-10 finishes, including a victory at Augusta National in

1992. “I do know that course really, really well,” Couples said. “It seems like I can get around there even better than most courses that I like and play. But, again, it all comes down to (hitting) the right shots.” Couples has played well recently on the Champions Tour, tying for eighth place in the Toshiba Classic on March 18 and winning the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic last Sunday. “I wait the whole year to come and play here,” Couples said last year at Augusta. “This is my favorite event.” It’s also the favorite event of many fans who watch the sport on television. Last year’s final round on CBS was watched by 35.8 million people. “Many people who follow golf on TV like the Masters because it is always played on the same course and people are familiar with the holes,”

is having another outstanding year at the plate after earning Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American honors last season. The left-handed-hitting Gill, another Madras High grad, is batting .304 through 22 games for the Pilots and is second on the team in RBIs (12), runs (13) and home runs (three). A shortstop and third baseman in high school, Gill hits cleanup for the Pilots and is playing left and right field for UP. He occasionally serves as the team’s designated hitter. Bend’s Alex Robinett, who graduated just last spring from Mountain View High School, is shining in his freshman — or “plebe” — season at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. In five starts for the Black Knights

this year, Robinett has posted a record of 1-1 with a 1.37 earned-run average, striking out 20 batters in 26 1⁄3 innings pitched. Army, which started Patriot League play last weekend against Navy, is 19-7 through its first 26 games. And that’s just highlighting a handful of local players. Bend High’s Grant Newton is seeing spot time during his freshman season at NCAA Division I Seattle University and Sisters High graduate Tanner Hodges is hitting .377 as a senior at NAIA College of Idaho. And former Summit pitcher Jason Wilson leads D-II Western Oregon with 33 strikeouts in 32 1⁄3 innings as a senior this season. — Reporter: 541-383-0305, beastes@bendbulletin.com.

difference this year is we’re only doing two two-day clinics,” said Brandt, noting that the 2012 clinics are set for May 12-13 and June 2-3. “We’re doing them early so women can practice skills all summer long. In addition to the two clinics, we’ll also be offering private lessons, with our mission remaining the same: to increase women’s confidence on the trail through improved and refined bike-handling skills, as well as to have fun and enjoy the experience.” Each month, aside from free group rides, Dirt Divas plans to offer from April through September five free evening presentations from women in the mountain biking industry, as well as two bike repair and maintenance clinics. For women new to mountain biking, or for those looking to broaden their knowledge base, lectures include topics such as how to choose the right bike, how to talk confidently about bikes in a shop, nutrition and fitness tips, trail etiquette, and what to take and wear when out on the trails. If you’re a woman and your interest is even the slightest bit piqued about mountain biking, give just one Dirt Divas night a chance. Or sign up for a Grit Clinics session or private lesson. I’m fairly certain you will be hooked for life. See you out on the trails! —Laura Winberry is a freelance journalist who lives in Bend.

Watson said. “And they like the fact that there aren’t too many commercials.” Watson, who won the event in 1977 and 1981, said he hasn’t decided how long he will continue to play in the Masters. Past champions get a lifetime exemption. “I’m playing this year,” Watson said. “That’s all that matters.”
